Chapter 1222: Liang Liang Ashui Who Starts Well but Ends Badly

~17 min read 3,324 words

The scorching sun burned, snakes entangled, and carriages stopped.

The carriage driver jumped off the carriage, picked up a stone on the ground to jam the wheels, and the team stopped in the mountain col.

"Spectacular!"

Golden wings flapped, Heavenly Centipede Liang Qu landed on Li Xianghan's head, its hundred-legged jointed limbs gripped her hair bun, and it looked at the colorful snakes that were entangled, hissing, and blocking the road ahead.

There were at least tens of thousands of snakes.

They were brightly colored, red and green, dense and numerous. You couldn't find the head if you saw the tail, and you couldn't find the tail if you saw the head. They were a hundred times more entangled and complex than the most complicated knot.

They were forgetting themselves in entangling tails, forgetting themselves in swallowing, rolling down from the mountain, hitting rocks, and pouring into the bushes, doing their best to reproduce offspring. A few stray snakes were thrown out of the big group and fell to people's feet, swimming away in panic.

In the wild, they were all disobedient wild snakes. The domestic mice were so scared that they ran around, drilled into cages, and locked the doors tightly.

Liang Qu had seen a similar scene once in a nature documentary when he was a child. That thing seemed to be called a garter snake. They would have a passionate group mating as soon as they came out of hibernation. He had a nightmare that night. It was like that even across the screen, and seeing it with his own eyes was simply scalp-numbing. The snakes in front of him were brighter, and there seemed to be several types of snakes.

Do these snakes have no reproductive isolation?

"It's the Ten Thousand Snake Meeting, the Ten Thousand Snake Meeting!" The team leader jumped onto the roof of the carriage and waved his hands, shouting, "Everyone, get off the carriage and rest. Don't run far. Beware of demon beasts and poisonous insects! It looks like it just started, and it won't end today. Get off the carriage and set up camp.

Men come to help. If the children are bitten, don't drink raw water."

"Ten Thousand Snake Meeting, good luck."

"Work, work. Just in time to rest my feet. It's so hot. Is there any iced wine? Have a sip."

"No iced wine, do you want iced sour plum juice?"

"Give me some, give me some."

"Clatter, clatter."

Wooden buckets collided, and ice cubes were poured into the dark red sour plum juice, splashing out two drops.

"Why stop and not move forward? Can this little snake group block the road?" Liang Qu turned his head.

The team moved tents down as usual, communicated with each other, and the elderly and children sat on stones, pointing at the snake group, with no intention of continuing forward at all.

There were three Perfected Form experts in the team, and Li Xianghan's grandmother was also there. Detouring, driving away, or killing them would all work. Theoretically, there was no need to stop at all.

"This is the custom of our Southern Border people." Looking left and right to confirm that there was no one around, Li Xianghan explained quietly, "Seeing the Ten Thousand Snake Meeting, the team cannot detour or rush, otherwise it will bring bad luck.

Conversely, waiting for the ten thousand snakes to disperse by themselves will bring good luck. Great King, perhaps you don't know about snakes and insects. The time for that thing is very powerful. It usually takes two or three hours, and the long ones can take ten hours—"

"Humph, a mere ten hours." The Heavenly Centipede raised its head. "It's far inferior to me!"

Li Xianghan was speechless. It took her a long time to remember where she was talking about. She thought to herself, can humans compare with snakes? Furthermore, ten hours, can a normal woman bear it? After it's over, I'm afraid she will only be able to say "aba aba." It must be the man's usual habit of bragging in this regard, not afraid of blowing it up.

However, she couldn't say it too absolutely. As a dignified Martial Saint, perhaps he is indeed a bit more powerful?

"Yes, yes, yes, Great King is powerful and extraordinary. The Princess has good fortune, singing and dancing every night." Li Xianghan praised perfunctorily and continued, "Because the snake's time is long, we basically rest for a day when we encounter it on the road, just as a stopover.

The Ten Thousand Snake Meeting can be seen in spring and Bing Fire. It is precisely because of worrying about this kind of thing that the villages far away set off three months in advance. We encounter it more than ten times on the way. Our Green Pattern Valley is close to the Insect Valley, so the time is not too tight, and there is no need to ask for bad luck."

Liang Qu sneered: "What bad luck, good luck, it's all feudal superstition."

Li Xianghan had a headache: "Great King, please bear with it. We will set off tomorrow and arrive in about two days."

"Xianghan!" Li Yilin's shouting came from behind, "Come here, accompany grandmother to talk."

Li Xianghan turned her head and smiled sweetly: "Alright, grandmother! Little Xianghan is coming!"

The young boy was softened by the sweet voice, glancing at the Saintess intentionally or unintentionally. If their eyes met and he bumped into a smile, he would immediately let his imagination run wild, his face flushing red.

Does the Saintess have feelings for me?

Liang Qu curled his mouthparts and flew up from her head: "I want to leave for a while, probably for half a day."

"Now?" Li Xianghan froze her steps, looking distressed, "How can I explain to others?"

"You are clever and full of bad water. Do you need me to help you think of a way? Explain it yourself. I'm leaving."

Golden light shot out and disappeared into the forest.

Li Yilin in the distance was puzzled when she saw this. When Li Xianghan came over, she couldn't help but ask: "We will arrive at the Insect Valley in two days. Where did your Golden-Winged Heavenly Centipede run to now? Don't delay the time."

"To have a secret meeting with an old lover insect!"

"Old lover insect?"

Li Xianghan gritted her teeth with hatred: "The insects caught in the wild naturally have wild lover insects. They are lustful by nature on weekdays, and they are even more lustful on Bing Fire Day. They go out to have secret meetings all day long. And grandmother, do you know? It is not loyal!

Three wives and four concubines, showing affection everywhere, starting well but ending badly, unfaithful and unrighteous, managing birth but not raising, shameless, despicable, insidious, specializing in playing with mother-daughter insects, sister insects, and half-year-old little insects, living in a pool of wine and a forest of meat. If it weren't for its sufficient strength, it would have been chopped into eight pieces by other insects!"

"There is actually such a thing?" Li Yilin was surprised.

"How can there not be!" Li Xianghan nodded, looked around, and confirmed that Liang Qu was not there. "It's all what I saw with my own eyes. If its strength wasn't remarkable, it would be a living scum insect!"

"Then you have to manage it well. After all, it is wild and lacks basic reproductive concepts. At its core, it is still an insect without ethics." Li Yilin said seriously, "It is not easy for it to grow to this point in the wild. It is incomparable and rare. Its essence should be selected for storage and carefully bred for the next generation of Heavenly Centipede Gu insects, not wasted casually."

"Grandmother, don't worry. I will manage this rotten scum insect later. If I can't manage it, I will castrate it—."

"Hahaha, that won't do—"

"Achoo!"

In the woods, Liang Qu flapped his wings and sneezed.

"I feel like someone is speaking ill of me—is it that little girl with two faces—"

Golden light shuttled back and forth.

The cruel sun pierced through the tree canopy. Liang Qu flew in the light column, inexplicably enjoying this feeling of flapping his wings, hovering,

and galloping.

After being promoted to the Dragon World, there were more restrictions.

Going to the Imperial Capital had to be notified in advance. He no longer had the casualness of the Perfected Form. Many things couldn't be fooled by just apologizing if he did them wrong. He was bound everywhere. On the contrary, now, flying in the jungle, he was like a free dragonfly, and he didn't have to worry about any natural enemies.

It was still the happiest time when he was invincible in the Perfected Form—

On the tree branch, a poisonous snake entangled, captured the golden light, and subconsciously pounced out.

Whoosh!

The golden light brushed past, and the poisonous snake stiffened.

A moment later.

The snake head fell smoothly, biting randomly, and the half-section snake tail on the tree branch hung down powerlessly. The internal organs mixed with snake blood attracted a group of army ants, which tore off the minced meat and carried it back to the nest.

"Strange, did my wings cut something?"

Looking back, he didn't see anything. Liang Qu didn't care about that much and continued to look for the river.

There is an obvious difference between the forests of the Southern Border and Great Shun.

Look at whether there are weeds on the trees.

In most areas of Great Shun, trees are trees, clean trees, dotted with two bird nests. In the Southern Border, the place where the tree branches bend is not a bird nest, but a blooming broad-leaf grass, fluffy like lettuce, rooted on moss and lush, or hanging with countless vines. If you look carefully, you can see a scaled one in the vines.

Animals and plants grow intertwined and layered here.

A normal-looking insect may actually have been controlled by parasites inside, its behavior out of control. The parasites that crawled out after being stepped on looked fine, but they might have been infected with viruses long ago, just not dead yet.

Life reproduction is too prosperous.

The forest in ordinary places is a semi-transparent photo, simple and clear. The forest in the Southern Border is many semi-transparent photos stacked together, all the graphics are mixed, and many different things grow on one tree.

"Boom—"

The stream went east.

Folding his wings, the Heavenly Centipede rushed into the winding river, swimming like a snake, and burrowed into the 【Vortex Escape Path】.

Relying on the waterway to return to the Great Lake.

Consciousness returned.

Outside the window, the rain in the plum rain season was drizzling.

The familiar body fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, and the soft body half-pressed on his chest.

Liang Qu leaned down and kissed her from face to feet. Before Long Eying laughed and pushed him away, he quickly got up, got dressed, and rushed to the South Water.

"Frog Public!" Liang Qu was sincere.

"Hey—" The old toad who was catching fish everywhere returned to the clan land, tied up the bulging yellow skin bag, looked at the east, and carried the webbed feet on its back, "The Southern Border is sultry, and it happens to be the Bing Fire scorching sun, the heat is scorching, it is really uncomfortable. Is this matter really non-this-public-can-do?"

"Holding the sun and moon to pick the stars, there is no frog like the Elder in the world! Heaven did not give birth to the South Water Frog Public, the Huai River is like a long night for eternity. This kind of big event is non-you-cannot!" Liang Qu bowed and cupped his hands, shouting loudly, "Respectfully invite Frog Public to leave the lake!"

Behind him, Long Pingjiang, Long Pinghe, Fat Fish, Cannot Move, Round Head, Fist, Bai Awei, Little Mirage Dragon, a hundred river dolphins—humans and beasts knelt on the ground and shouted together:

"Holding the sun and moon to pick the stars, there is no frog like the Elder in the world! Heaven did not give birth to the South Water Frog Public, the Huai River is like a long night for eternity. Respectfully invite Frog Public to leave the lake!" *100

"Frog Public!"

"Frog Public!" *100

"For the common people! For the people! For the future!"

"For the common! For the people! For the future!" *100

Every sentence had an echo, every paragraph had an aftertaste, the shouting was surging, resounding through the Great Lake.

Crackle.

Electric current passed through.

The old toad trembled like a sieve, then its shoulders drooped, and its round belly folded into small wrinkles. After a while, it carried its webbed feet on its back, its frog eyes bright: "Forget it, since this is the case, this public will accompany you for a trip! Take down the Southern Border Long Qi!"

"Good! Frog Public is for the common people of the world, for the future of the South." Liang Qu stood up, "Afei!"

The long whiskers folded ninety degrees.

The fat fish opened its big mouth.

The old toad was familiar with the road, jumped up, kicked Afei's chin, and didn't wait for the big mouth to close. A ray of light drilled out from the waterway and floated into the fat fish's mouth like a jellyfish along the water flow.

It was not a special car delivery, the old toad crossed its arms and was dissatisfied.

Liang Qu was stunned: "What is my lady doing?"

Long Long Eying squatted in the giant fish's mouth, wearing long clothes, long pants, and long boots, her face calm, and she couldn't see the lazy look of being naked half an hour ago. She asked back: "Isn't this the car to the Southern Border?"

Liang Qu scratched his temples: "It is the pill to the Southern Border. I ask my lady why you are following?"

Long Long Eying took it for granted: "See what that little head looks like."

Liang Qu: "?"

The fat fish opened its big mouth, looked left and right, Liang Qu waved his hand, signaling to bring them along, and it was about to close its mouth.

"Wait, wait, wait! Last train pill!"

Two more figures swam out of the quiet path, one on the left and one on the right, successively holding Long Long Eying's arms.

"What are you two joining in the fun for?" Liang Qu raised his eyebrows.

Long Yao and Long Li both crossed their arms and adjusted: "See what that head looks like!"

Long Long Eying's crescent eyes.

Liang Qu held his forehead.

After a while.

He raised his hand.

The long whiskers folded ninety degrees, confirming that no one else was taking the "Big Fish Bus," the fat fish closed its big mouth, turned around, and carried the people and frogs into the Ze Kingdom.

"Let's go!"

Golden light.

The Heavenly Centipede flew out of the woods swaying, and landed on Li Xianghan's head.

Shaking its head, light and happy, it had a kind of lazy feeling after being refreshed. The more Li Yilin looked at it, the more it looked like it had come back from somewhere, the same as what Li Xianghan said.

Sure enough, it is a wild insect.

It went out for a secret meeting even in such a gap—

In the "Eye Knowledge Rule," he could always perceive other people's gazes. The touch like cow hair made the insect irritable. Liang Qu turned his head inadvertently: "Why does your grandmother always look at me? Her eyes are weird."

"Ah?" Li Xianghan was tight, her toes hooked, her eyes drifted, "Is, is there?"

"Humph, is she speaking ill of me?"

"Great official of the blue sky, I am wronged!"

"Presumptuous! Dare to call yourself wronged in front of this King? Are you saying this King wronged you?"

"Don't dare." Li Xianghan was submissive.

"Then there is no wrong, punish you to give me eight hundred!"

Li Xianghan pulled out the silver production beside her and handed it over respectfully.

The jointed limbs inserted into the silver production and collected it neatly.

Midnight.

The Ten Thousand Snake Meeting ended, and they left in twos and threes.

Everyone returned to the carriage, and the carriage wheels continued to roll.

After Li Xianghan finished her cultivation, she stretched, hugged the mouse, and fell into a deep sleep, not knowing that at this moment, a transparent quiet film completely wrapped the carriage, silently.

Not long after.

The candle fire was lit, and blurred figures crawled out of the fish's mouth, reflected on the carriage, surrounding the little person.

Li Xianghan shivered, opened her mouth to breathe, and felt the oppression that the air was not enough.

"Is this the woman the Elder has to see every night? It feels average, not as good as me, and even worse than Sister Long Eying. The Dragon Girl can barely rank in the middle."

"Right, the chest and buttocks are also average. The Elder really has no eye for beauty. It can't be that the feet are good-looking, right? The Elder likes this. Look, this is not good either, the size is a bit big, the toes are flat—"

"What weird things are you saying? Want to eat chestnuts?"

"Quack, she has no treasure on her, what is good-looking?"

"Frog Public, you came out too early, it's not your turn to show your big skills yet."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Eh, the pillow has a sandwich, it seems there are two silver productions—."

Bai Awei, Long Long Eying, Long Yao, Long Li, the old toad, and the shrunken Afei filled the space, surrounding Li Xianghan.

The yellow mouse turned over, yawned, opened its sleepy eyes, saw a big-mouthed fish, looked twice, and closed its bean eyes.

A moment later.

The mouse jumped three feet high, kicked Li Xianghan's head, and shrank into the corner, gasping for breath.

Li Xianghan became more and more oppressed, was kicked for no reason, and opened her eyes irritably.

A huge toad face squeezed into her eye socket.

"?"

"Wow!"

Li Xianghan screamed, rolled and crawled, her buttocks pressed on the mouse, and she squeezed into the corner.

"Humph, frog, of course it's a frog! Can it be a tadpole?" The old toad pulled out the pillow with its webbed feet, ripped open the seam, and took the opportunity to collect several large-denomination thousand-tael silver productions, sticking them into its mouth to count.

"???"

Damn it, there is a toad stealing her things! Counting her production!

And it's a damn Great Demon!

Where is the Heavenly Centipede? Where is the King of Huai?

Save me!

I still have utilization value! I haven't become the number one Saintess yet, I apply for political asylum from the Great Shun Martial Saint!

Her pupils trembled, Li Xianghan tried hard to find the Heavenly Centipede. It didn't matter if she didn't look, but she was shocked when she looked.

Who! Who held a party in her exclusive carriage without notifying her? Why are there so many people?

Who are these three women?

Damn, is the one in the middle a fairy?

"Since you've seen it, my lady, hurry back. People are not sure, they have to cultivate." The Heavenly Centipede jumped out.

Seeing the Golden-Winged Heavenly Centipede, Li Xianghan felt a little relieved.

It seems to be a moth created by the King of Huai.

My lady?

The King of Huai's lady?

Wait, how did they get in? There are so many guards, why didn't one of them notice?

Immediately, she saw the fairy in the middle nod, showing a relieved and gratified look.

Li Xianghan felt inexplicably unhappy.

No, although you look very good, what are you relieved about when you look at my face?
