Shen Luo had never seen Granny Ma look so out of sorts, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.
"Grandma Ma, do you know about this monster?" Yingluo asked, feeling inexplicably panicked when she saw Grandma Ma's expression at the moment.
"Of course I know. How could I forget the battle that destroyed my cultivation? This is the hair of that beautiful snake!" Granny Ma calmed down her emotions and said coldly.
"Beautiful snake?" Yingluo seemed to have thought of something, and her pretty face changed.
The expressions of a few older people among the people around also changed drastically, but most people still looked confused.
"Guys, what kind of monster is this beautiful snake in your mouth?" Shen Luo asked.
“This matter started more than 20 years ago. I was still cultivating at that time, and I was guarding the village with another monk in the Bigu stage and several juniors in the Qi refining stage. Although the village was poor, , but it was still safe. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. A villager went fishing by the stream and somehow provoked a snake demon with a human head and a snake body. It attacked the village. Because the head of this demon was a beautiful woman, we called it the beauty snake. . This beauty snake is very powerful. I and another Daoist fellow in the Bigu stage joined forces to fight with it. In the end, the old lady's Dantian was damaged and her magic power was gone. The other fellow Daoist fell and died, but the beauty snake was also seriously injured and escaped. I didn't expect it to come back now," Granny Ma said slowly.
Most of the elderly people present had personally experienced what happened back then. After listening to Granny Ma's recounting of the past, they recalled that horrific memory, with a look of fear on their faces.
"Didn't the attack of monsters on the village just start a few years ago?" Qingniu on the side suddenly asked.
“The monsters on the mountain attacking the village have been around since ancient times. Otherwise, there would be no need for monks to be stationed in the village. However, such incidents were very rare at that time and would not happen for more than ten years. In the past few years, The wild beasts on the mountain mutated and suddenly increased in number," Granny Ma said.
Qingniu nodded suddenly when he heard this and said nothing.
"Grandma Ma, what specific cultivation levels did you and another Taoist friend in the Bigu stage have at that time?" Shen Luo looked solemn and asked what she was most concerned about.
"I had just advanced to the inediate stage at that time. Another Taoist friend's cultivation was deeper than mine, but he was not in the middle stage of ineducated." Granny Ma glanced at Shen Luo and said.
When Shen Luo heard this, his expression relaxed slightly.
Although the beauty snake severely injured two people in the early stages of Bigu, she was also seriously injured. Her cultivation level is at the middle stage of Bigu at most. Even if she recovers from her injuries after so many years, her cultivation level should not be improved, otherwise it would not be possible. What a sneaky thing to do.
Although he has just entered the Bigu stage, he has opened up a total of twenty Dharma veins. In terms of the strength of his magic power and the power of casting spells, he is already no less than an ordinary monk in the middle stage of Bigu.
"The beautiful snake demon is greedy and cruel. In addition to his previous enmity, he will definitely not give up when he comes back this time. I am afraid that this village will suffer another disaster!" Granny Ma said, with a worried look on her face.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the courtyard became panicked.
"Now that we have determined what caused the trouble and found its escape route, the top priority is to find a way to rescue Chen Guanbao back!" Yingluo said quickly.
"That snake demon is extremely powerful. Even the two Immortal Masters in the Bigu stage in the village were no match for it when they joined forces. If you make the two Immortal Masters angry, how can you defeat it? You can only do it if you go. You will die in vain." Before Shen Luo could speak, a bald old man next to him stopped him.
"Yes! If something happens to you, what will happen to the village?" said another middle-aged man.
"Even if the monster wants to practice cultivation and devour it alive, Chen Guanbao has been kidnapped for so long, and ten of his body has been poisoned. It is futile for the immortal master to chase him, so he should stay in the village and find a way to resist the evil spirit. The snake demon will attack next time."
Other villagers also spoke, each with different opinions, not wanting the two of them to take risks.
Shen Luo glanced at the surrounding villagers, lowered his eyes, and did not express any opinion.
Ying Luo was initially a little angry when she saw the crowd blocking her, but after hearing what they said, she also hesitated.
"Grandma Ma, you are well-informed. What should we do about this matter?" She was unsure about paying attention and asked Grandma Ma.
Everyone around them also looked at Granny Ma.
Since Granny Ma explained the origin of the perfect human snake, she, like Shen Luo, has been standing there quietly, lowering her head in silence, and only raised her head after hearing the words.
"What everyone said makes sense, but in my opinion, Chen Guanbao should still be alive now." Granny Ma said.
"How do you know?" a villager asked blankly.
"That beautiful snake must be lurking somewhere near the village to heal its wounds, otherwise with its strength, it can definitely destroy the village, and it wouldn't be hiding like this. Based on my understanding of snake monsters, their physical fitness It belongs to Yin, so devouring children on a full moon day is the most helpful, and tomorrow is the full moon day," Granny Ma said.
Everyone was stunned after hearing this.
Shen Luo secretly thought that his speculation was indeed correct. If the snake demon had not recovered from his injuries, it would be much easier to deal with it.
"Yingluo, your strength is too weak, and you are far from the opponent of the beautiful snake. You should stay in the village." Granny Ma looked at Yingluo and said.
"What about Chen Guanbao? Since he is still alive, how can we not save him?" Yingluo said anxiously.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, among us, you are the only one with strength that can rival that snake demon. I wonder if you are willing to rescue Chen Guanbao?" Granny Ma turned to look at Shen Luo and said.
"Okay, Chen Guanbao was arrested because he brought me food. Even if you don't tell me, I will rescue him." Shen Luo said firmly.
"Grandma Ma, this is not okay. Master Shen Xian is now also an important fighting force in the village. How can you put yourself in danger? You can't just care about your children and ignore the safety of the village." The bald old man said again said.
“Yes!” Several people nearby saidechoed.
"Don't worry, everyone, my old lady has never done anything detrimental to the village. Since I asked Fellow Daoist Shen to go, I will naturally have a way to protect her." Granny Ma looked at the bald old man and the others with sharp eyes.
Shen Luo was surprised and wondered what Granny Ma meant by this.
The bald old man and others were struck by Granny Ma’s gaze, and felt a chill in their hearts, leaving them speechless.
"Everyone, there is a monster lurking underground here, and it is not safe here. Everyone returns home and waits for the result." Granny Ma looked around and said slowly, although her voice was not loud, but there was something An unquestionable majesty.
Everyone around looked at each other and left the courtyard one after another. Only Yingluo and Qingniu stayed.
"Yingluo, Qingniu, you guys should go out first. I have something to talk to fellow Daoist Shen." Granny Ma said to Yingluo and the other two.
Ying Luo hesitated for a moment, glanced at Shen Luo, turned around and walked out.
Qing Niu followed closely and left, leaving only Shen Luo and Granny Ma in the yard.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, I am very ashamed to ask you to rescue Chen Guanbao alone this time." Granny Ma sighed.
Shen Luo smiled and said nothing.
Grandma Ma put her hand into her arms and quickly took it out. There was a palm-sized silver moon wheel in her hand. The outer edge was bright and sharp, but the inner side was wider and thicker. The whole body exuded a layer of misty moonlight. Silver glow looks extremely beautiful.
