Chapter 134: Weird Snake Wine
New Year’s Eve, Longyou County, Snake Wine Shop.
Old Liu, who sells wine, closed his shop early today and sat alone in the shop, tasting the snake wine he brewed.
The room was filled with jars of snake wine, some of which were still trembling slightly, as the venomous snakes that had not yet died were hitting the walls of the jars.
The sack in the corner of the wall kept bulging. Inside it were poisonous snakes that he had caught a few days ago and had not had time to soak.
Because of the snake wine brewing, no matchmaker has dared to step into Lao Liu's house until now, but he doesn't care. He has no worries about food and clothing, and he can enjoy snake wine freely, so he is happy.
He drank several cups in a row and could hardly stop.
A few months ago, he caught a group of poisonous snakes in a wild forest. They had light golden patterns on their bodies and were about four or five feet long. Despite his many years of experience in catching snakes, he couldn't tell what kind of snakes they were.
But his intuition told him that these snakes were all top quality!
So he used those snakes to make snake wine, which tasted unexpectedly good and had a strong aftertaste. It was simply the best snake wine!
The batch of wine was brewed before New Year's Eve and sold very well, and was quickly sold out. Lao Liu kept a few jars for himself, intending to drink on New Year's Eve and stay up until dawn.
However, after drinking a few glasses of snake wine, he felt an itch on his back. He scratched it hard and actually pulled off a scale. When he looked at it under the candlelight, he was immediately frightened to death.
This is actually a snake scale!
Then Lao Liu's body began to itch all over. He quickly took off his clothes. Under the candlelight, he saw that his fat body was covered with dense snake scales...
Plop!
He fell to the ground and wanted to call for help, but found that the sound he made was very sharp, like the hissing of a snake.
Even his body was twisting on the ground like a snake...
…
Qingniu Temple, early morning.
As usual, Li Daoxuan used his magical power of clone to practice the Purple Qi Nourishing Essence Technique. After each practice, he could feel his body becoming tougher and stronger.
This feeling is truly fascinating.
After practicing, Li Daoxuan jumped off the beam and prepared to call his master to get up.
Master has been fond of sleeping more and more recently. It is probably because it takes too much energy to crack the Seven Skeleton Formation.
"Master, wake up!"
Li Daoxuan patted the coffin lid.
But Zhang Qianyang's voice did not sound, and there was no snoring in the coffin. Instead, there was a faint hissing sound.
Li Daoxuan frowned slightly.
But he didn't think much about it. After all, his master was drunk last night, so it was reasonable for him to sleep a little longer today.
Just as he was about to leave, there was a sudden noise from inside the coffin.
Bang!
That sound was like being whipped.
Li Daoxuan began to feel strange, and then he remembered that his master didn't even do the morning class today. In the past, no matter how lazy his master was, he would practice the Purple Qi Yang Yuan Gong on time in the morning.
Li Daoxuan put one hand behind his back, holding a Five Thunder Talisman, and slowly opened the coffin lid with his other hand.
The first thing to appear was the Master's face.
Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, his pupils dilated and he was shocked.
Because below the master's waist, it had turned into a snake's tail, covered with light golden snake scales. Even in his sleep, it was still swaying from side to side, knocking on the coffin lid.
Master... is a demon?
Li Daoxuan almost dropped his jaw in shock. What the hell? Could it be that Master drank realgar wine last night, and like Bai Suzhen, he revealed his true form after drinking?
However, Li Daoxuan quickly rejected this idea.
My master is of Heavenly Master bloodline and a descendant of Zhang Daoling. How could he be a snake demon?
The next moment, a divine eye opened between Li Daoxuan's eyebrows, emitting brilliant divine light, and he looked towards his master.
He saw that there was a strong demonic energy lingering around his master, and that the demonic energy wanted to invade his master's body.
But fortunately, the master possessed a great deal of magical power from the authentic Xuanmen school. Even in his coma, he was able to resist the invasion of evil spirits on his own.
At the same time, Li Daoxuan also saw that inside his master's body, there was a terrifying sword energy that penetrated deep into his soul. It was as majestic as the might of heaven descending to the world, and it was torturing his master like a maggot on the tarsal bone.
Li Daoxuan was shocked. Is this the sword that the old Taoist priest had swung down?
This sword energy actually penetrated into the soul, it was extremely hard and masculine, like the blazing fire of the sun, burning forever!
No wonder Master likes to sleep in coffins and places with heavy yin energy. It turns out that in such an environment, the sword energy will be less torturous to the body and soul.
Master has been enduring this kind of pain all this time...
At this time, Zhang Qianyang also woke up. He patted his head and said, "The snake wine last night was really strong. It turned out that—"
Suddenly, he saw his "snake body".
In an instant, Zhang Qianyang sobered up. He broke out in a cold sweat and asked, "What, what's going on?"
Li Daoxuan closed his eyes and said solemnly, "Master, I'm afraid there is something wrong with the snake wine you drank last night!"
After all, Zhang Qianyang was born in Longhu Mountain, so when he encountered this strange situation, he quickly calmed down.
After his apprentice's reminder, he also began to notice the abnormality of the snake wine last night.
How could ordinary snake wine, no matter how strong its aftereffects were, possibly make a cultivator in the late Yin Shen realm drunk?
That must not be ordinary snake wine, but wine made from snake demons!
"Disciple, use the Longevity Talisman!"
Li Daoxuan nodded, and a longevity talisman appeared in his hand.
"Cure diseases and prolong life, travel through the five mountains, the eight seas know about it, and the devil will bow his head. Guard my pavilion, eliminate evil and dispel filth, and keep the spirit of Taoism forever. Hurry and obey the command !"
The longevity talisman turned into a golden light and escaped into Zhang Qianyang's body.
The next moment, his snake body was illuminated by golden light, the evil spirit quickly dissipated, the scales turned into black smoke, and his legs quickly returned to normal.
Zhang Qianyang could no longer care about continuing to deduce the way out of the Seven Skeletons Formation. He said solemnly, "Disciple, come with me to the street and take a look!"
He must be more than one who drank the snake wine. Those ordinary people don't have magical powers like him. I'm afraid they will soon be filled with evil spirits and turn into poisonous snakes!
The two of them used the art of shrinking the earth and quickly arrived at the long street.
As expected, many people's homes were in chaos, dozens of giant snakes were crawling on the streets, and passers-by were panicked and fled in embarrassment. It seemed that those who drank the snake wine yesterday had turned into snakes.
Zhang Qianyang said in a deep voice: "The snake wine I drank before was fine. It seems that there is something wrong with the batch of snake wine that Lao Liu sold before New Year's Eve. Disciple, don't kill the snakes. They can still be saved!"
Li Daoxuan nodded. These snakes were transformed from ordinary people. As long as a talisman of longevity was given, the evil spirit in their bodies should be removed.
The Taoist priests from Wanshou Palace also rushed over. There were eight or nine of them, headed by Wu Qiubai. Except for him, all the others were in the Bigu state.
They were all proficient in swordsmanship and were not afraid of the giant snakes at all. They formed a sword formation and quickly trapped them, ready to kill them.
"stop!"
Li Daoxuan came floating over with a sword case on his back, a gourd hanging from , and a green Taoist robe on his body. When he saw that they wanted to kill the giant snakes, he shouted at them sternly.
Wu Qiubai glanced at him, ignored him, waved his hand and prepared to let his disciples kill the snake.
Li Daoxuan snorted and patted the Dragon Roar Sword Box behind him.
clang!
The Chixia Sword in the sword case made a clear sword sound, but it did not come out of the sheath. However, the sword intent that soared into the sky immediately made the magic swords in everyone's hands tremble and stop the attack.
The Chixia Sword itself is a magic weapon, and coupled with the Taibai Gengjin sword energy it emanates, it is impossible for these Taoists in the Qigong realm to resist it. Some of those with poor cultivation could not even hold on to the magic sword in their hands when the sword rang out.
