Chapter 381 Hook Snake

Learn from heaven and earth.

During Li Yuanjiao's journey from the deserted mountain temple to Shanji County, Lu Jiangxian read one hundred and thirty-one fetal breath exercises, thirty-six Qigong exercises, and two foundation-building exercises, all piled in front of the case. Full to the brim.

'There are two more foundation-building techniques, "Yimu Fu Gong" and "Shan Wu Feng Hai Gong", respectively Dao Ji "Yi Mu Quan" and "Wu Hui Yin"...'

The books in front of Lu Jiangxian's case had piled up into a small mountain. He held the Dragon Slayer's "Leap Yang Technique" in his hand and looked at it carefully. This method was the longest secret technique he had read, and it really opened his eyes.

‘This is the first time I’ve seen someone born with a destiny. ’

Li Yuanjiao would let Tulongjian go, so naturally Lu Jiangxian didn't take any action, letting Li Yuanjiao's thoughts be stirred and let him go.

Under the illumination of the Dharma Book, the dragon-slaying jian was glowing red behind him, and his power was quite astonishing. Li Yuanjiao could not see it, but Lu Jiangxian could see it clearly.

'If Dragon Slayer Jian dies in the hands of Li Yuanjiao and his direction is disrupted, then Zi Mansion will trace the source and find out, and there will probably be a big problem...'

Lu Jiangxian has also been in contact with many Zifus. Zifu cannot exhaust the changes in the world, nor can they keep an eye on anyone day by day. They have only cultivated the magical power of life and are colluding with each other, so they know the general direction of the next situation.

Li Yuanjiao shouldn't have discovered this person, but he was not destined to be defeated by Xianjian. If he killed him, collected the Dragon Slayer, and seized the "Leap Yang Law", he might have ruined the affairs of the Zi Mansion.

Although the friends of Xiao and Li were in front, all the purple mansions would naturally suspect Xiao Chuting, and Xiao Chuting would naturally suspect that it was the Li family's purple mansion, but Xiao Chuting was already walking on thin ice, and Lu Jiangxian was afraid that the old man would not be able to withstand it when he came. Secondly, I am afraid that the Zi family will simply suspect the Li family.

'It's just that what this destiny is... is very different from supernatural powers. It affects others without leaving any trace! ’

Lu Jiangxian saw with his own eyes that the blood surged in the fate of Tu Longjian, which caused Li Yuanjiao to change from a murderous intention to a solicitous intention, and even the blood appeared behind Li Yuanjiao. Unexpectedly, Li Yuanjiao himself became suspicious and forcefully recruited Tulongjian, leading to the destruction of his family. It has become a way to avoid disaster and lose money.

‘There is a faint shadow of [Exerting Qi and Swallowing Spirits], it seems like... two fates are compromising each other... But if Li Yuanjiao also has a destiny, why have I never seen it? ’

'Does fate influence people or people influence destiny...'

…………

Li Yuanjiao was flying precariously in the clouds and mist. He had acquired a new treasure and couldn't put it down. He carefully appreciated the beauty of it and flew to the realm of Xuanyue Gate without knowing it.

He was always in a relaxed and comfortable mood, feeling inexplicably happy about surviving a disaster. He became more and more certain that the dragon-slaying jian had a destiny, so he stopped in front of the formation and put away the magical weapon.

Kong Tingyun came out after a few breaths. She changed into a set of embroidered feather clothes. She was much more solemn than when they met before. She smiled and said:

"Brother Jiao is here! Tingyun has been waiting for a long time."

Li Yuanjiao bowed his hands politely, and Kong Ting said:

"Fellow Taoist, follow me to Xianhu. We will talk in detail on the way."

The two of them took off on the wind, but Li Yuanjiao asked first:

"How did your ancestor gain where he entered the sea?"

Kong Tingyun frowned and smiled, and replied:

"Of course it's a rare and big harvest. For such a big event of carving up the cave, Qingchi would be full if something falls between his fingers."

Li Yuanjiao nodded when he saw that she had no strange color. Looking at the deep black lake that appeared in front of him, with little golden lights reflected under the scorching sun, Kong Tingyun said:

"I fought this hooked snake once, and it was very difficult to deal with. It was afraid of the Immortal Sect behind me and did not dare to kill it. It fled hundreds of miles away and moved to another place. I was afraid of scaring it away, so I never explored it further. .”

Kong Tingyun explained:

"You and I will explore separately. It's not difficult to find this hooked snake with its family. It only takes half a day to search. Just be careful not to disturb this monster."

"No need to bother."

Li Yuanjiao shook his head and rode the wind to the surface of the water. Suddenly, the waves in the lake were turbulent, and a dragon snake was faintly turning, and from time to time, black scales and half of its claws were exposed.

Not long after, a dark blue crayfish jumped out. It huddled up and was held in the air by the waves. It was shivering. Li Yuanjiao whispered:

"Where is the hook snake?"

After listening attentively, Li Yuanjiao threw the crayfish back into the salty lake and said with a smile:

"Seventy-two miles east of here, there is a barren mountain in a lake, where the Hook Snake retreats."

"I forgot about fellow Taoist's [vast sea]!"

Kong Tingyun praised, the two of them rode the wind, and Li Yuanjiao said:

"Fellow Taoist said before that this hooked snake was driven away by the green water dragon. I don't know what kind of monster the green water dragon is."

Kong Tingyun said:

"Tingyun also asked the Red Reef Island overseas. This green water dragon is not very strong, but it was sent by a dragon palace under the sea with a profound background, so it drove away the hook snake..."

Li Yuanjiao was only thinking about the foundation-building monster in the sea, and said doubtfully:

"How many monsters in the sea have no background like this hooked snake?"

Kong Tingyun nodded slightly and replied:

"There are countless monsters overseas, and the East China Sea is full of monster caves. Not to mention the East China Sea, there are also many in the Aral Lake, but hook snakes are the weakest."

While the two were chatting, the barren mountains appeared in the distance. Kong Tingyun pinched out the magic formula. Clouds of smoke rose up from their feet. Li Yuanjiao whispered:

"I have a breath collecting instrument."

Kong Tingyun's eyes lit up, she nodded knowingly, and replied:

"Tingyun will go first, Brother Jiao will come later."

Li Yuanjiao watched her riding the wind into the water, carrying the [Xuanwen Bottle], checking the surrounding area to make sure there was no one or monster ambushing her, and then fell into the water.

The lake was already turbulent, and all kinds of fish and shrimps were fleeing for their lives. Li Yuanjiao looked at the emerald green array in front of him and couldn't help but feel slightly envious:

"After all, there are three sects and seven sects, and the attack is a foundation-level formation."

He slowly approached, and the formation shook continuously. Li Yuanjiao thought to himself:

"I'm afraid this woman won't conspire with the monster to kill me... I'm not afraid even if there is a Dharma guide."

So he used the [Xuanwen Bottle] to release water mist, covered his house, and sneaked into the formation. He saw filth surging all over the place, and a snake body the size of a two-foot-thick water tank emerged. The scales on it were shining, and every piece of it was covered with water. It's about the size of a palm.

The hooked snake's voice kept vibrating, and it mourned:

"I have been practicing for many years. Fortunately, I have eaten many spiritual beasts to achieve my current Taoist achievements. I came to Xianhu just to eat spiritual animals, and I do not mean to offend you. Madam, can you see that it is not easy for me to practice? Spare my life. I Leave immediately and never return to Salt Lake."

Kong Tingyun knew that Li Yuanjiao had entered the formation, so she said nothing and tried her best to support. Li Yuanjiao silently stepped forward. Seeing that the hooked snake could not persuade her, he said harshly again:

"You little bitches are so arrogant. You want to kill me with an array! Master, the worst I can do is eat you and run away to the depths of the East China Sea. How can Chang Xi still come thousands of miles away to seek revenge!"

While they were talking, Li Yuanjiao had already reached a foot away from the big snake. If he got any closer, he might startle the monster. Then he charged up his sword and waited for the monster to raise its head high and create a sword arc.

"Ouch..."

The sword light flickered in the water for a moment, and suddenly there was a splash of blood, and a huge wound was made about seven inches away from the hook snake. Kong Tingyun was shocked and stunned slightly, and sighed:

"What a brilliant swordsmanship."

The black dragon spiraled up and became entangled with the hooked snake. It was too late for the hooked snake to hate its opponent's despicableness. Kong Tingyun's spells and Li Yuanjiao's sword energy hit him one after another, making it twist and turn.

This hooked snake, who was not known to be He Xianji, spit out two green lights, and the two poisonous hooks on its forked tail also jumped up. Kong Tingyun chuckled and said:

"I borrowed this treasure and it's just waiting for you!"

So a small light golden bead flew out of her sleeve, flew forward staggeringly, and released bursts of golden light, stopping the tail of the snake demon. The other two green lights were also blocked by her shield-shaped magic weapon. Kong Tingyun said:

"Leave it to Brother Jiao!"

Kong Tingyun used the magic weapon to immobilize the most threatening twin tails of the monster, and urged the magic weapon to resist the monster. Li Yuanjiao drew his sword again and approached, forcing the snake monster to be embarrassed, open its mouth, and spit out a bead.

The bead rolled around, and a white glistening cold air flowed out. It was so cold that a piece of broken ice appeared around it, but Li Yuanjiao looked slightly weird.

At that moment, he hooked his fingers and activated [Qi Swallowing Spirit], and a small amount of the cold air suddenly hit his hands. Li Yuanjiao laughed:

"A good snake bead, but it's a pity that I don't know the magic. I only know how to use cold energy to ward off enemies and make people laugh."

As soon as his hands were closed, cold air poured into his hands continuously, and the white bead could not turn anymore. It kept leaning towards Li Yuanjiao, and the white air poured into his hands like a storm, leaving a long and narrow icicle in the water.

'The disciples of the Immortal Sect indeed have many immortal arts...'

The hooked snake was filled with despair and lost its snake bead. Kong Tingyun threw a mountain of gold in her hand to suppress it. The hooked snake became more and more powerless and only said desperately:

"There is only one share of [Zhiyuan True Water] under the mountain, how are you going to divide it between the two of you!"

As soon as these words came out, Kong Tingyun's complexion suddenly changed, and she was slightly annoyed. She made a secret in her hand, and the golden mountain suddenly shined brightly, causing the hook snake to vomit blood. The female cultivator said angrily:

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Li Yuanjiao looked at her expression, but he still didn't understand. He took a few steps forward, grabbed the snake bead in his hand, severed the connection between the two, put it into his storage bag, and said in a deep voice:

"Fellow Taoist quickly solved the formation."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was already in front of Kong Tingyun. She pressed the sword with one hand and her face was full of vigilance. Kong Tingyun pursed her lips and untied the formation. Li Yuanjiao held the formation plate in his hand without mercy, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. .

'I'm afraid that she is so powerful that she wants to surround and kill me here. Although this woman will definitely not be able to defeat me, it will be a big deal if she offends Xuanyue. ’

Li Yuanjiao quickly landed in front of the mountain and sealed the snake demon's foundation. Then he turned back and said in a deep voice:

"Fellow Taoist, don't you want to explain it?"

Kong Tingyun put away the two magic weapons, the beads and the gold mountain, and apologized:

"Tingyun has indeed deceived fellow Taoist. Although the two long hooks on the hook snake's tail are also what Tingyun needs, what she really wants to get is the [Zhiyuan True Water]."

She explained softly:

"Xuanyue has a secret method. Tingyun has observed the changes in the water veins many years ago. A spiritual water will be born here. She is afraid that someone will steal it, so she secretly conceals the water veins. She originally planned to get it soon."

"I never thought that this place would later be occupied by this hooked snake. Tingyun just wanted to find a helper to get rid of this monster so that she could get this spiritual water..."

Li Yuanjiao was out and about, and he had many deception methods. He just relied on his ability. He nodded and said without much anger:

"Actually, my fellow Taoist has never fought against this hooked snake. He already knew that this hooked snake is here. All the previous methods were just to cover up this barren mountain..."

"As for not looking for fellow disciples, are you afraid that your water vein concealment technique will be discovered by fellow disciples?"

Kong Tingyun nodded with a smile and replied:

"Yes, I never thought that this snake demon would also discover this thing and waste all my hard work."

The two looked at each other, and Kong Tingyun said in a deep voice:

"[Tail Hook] and [Zhiyuan Zhenshui] are things that Tingyun must obtain! Please give me my love..."

Li Yuanjiao narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up the sluggish hook snake at the bottom of the lake, and replied:

"I want the Hook Snake and the Snake Bead, and I will get another portion of the spiritual water of heaven and earth to supply it to me."

Kong Tingyun shook her head and said:

"Fellow Taoist asks for too much. Tingyun does not have the spiritual water of heaven and earth. Please, fellow Taoist, please change the conditions..."

Li Yuanjiao thought for a moment and replied:

"Does your sect have people who can mine fire veins? I would also like to ask fellow Taoist friends to cultivate a fire vein for my Li family."

Kong Tingyun smiled slightly and said:

"Of course there is. My senior brother has gone out. When he returns in a while, he can go to the nobles... to cultivate fire veins for the nobles... it's just..."

"Why do fellow Taoists think I won't break my promise?"

Kong Tingyun looked a little cunning, blinked her big eyes, and stared at him with a smile. Li Yuanjiao shook his head, took out an emerald green formation disk from the storage bag, and said steadily:

"Fellow Taoist's foundation-building formation is still in my hands. It must be much more valuable than the fire veins."

Kong Tingyun was stunned, never thinking that when he took the first step, he had already thought of the next three steps. She gritted her teeth and glared at him, but she laughed out loud again and said:

"Li Yuanjiao, you are the most cunning person I have ever seen."

Li Yuanjiao took back the array disk and was already thinking about how to maximize the benefits of borrowing this array for a period of time. He replied:

"Fellow Taoist Miuzan, under Qingchi's rule, all those who were not cunning and sinister have died cleanly."

Kong Tingyun smiled slightly, picked up the magic formula, and silently searched for the spiritual water. Li Yuanjiao took the opportunity to ask:

"I wonder what kind of treasure this [Zhi Yuan Zhen Shui] is?"

Kong Tingyun seemed to be in a good mood. She hummed a tune and said with a smile:

"Brother Yuanjiao, this [Zhiyuan True Water] is the best in the spiritual water of heaven and earth. You are cunning and decisive. I was afraid to tell you its use and value, but you turned around and turned against me to snatch it. The formation is in your hands again, little one. Women are very scared."

Li Yuanjiao suddenly froze and retreated angrily. Kong Tingyun glanced at Li Yuanjiao and said softly:

"Are there any Ji-Zhu brothers in the Daoyou clan? Are there any Ji-Zhu clan members who have a similar temperament to you and have not married into the Xiao family?"

Li Yuanjiao was confused when he heard this and frowned:

"No."

Kong Tingyun sighed slightly, lowered her eyebrows, and complained:

"I have been in seclusion for many years since I was a child. More than forty years have passed in the blink of an eye, but there is hardly anyone close to me. The few male cultivators who established the foundation are all people who can't describe themselves..."

Li Yuanjiao suddenly understood and comforted:

"You really need to be cautious about Taoist companions. You might as well wait a little longer. The Taoist road is full of dangers. If you choose something stupid, it will bring disaster to three generations and a hundred years. It is not a good look."

"Who says it's not?"

Kong Tingyun gritted her teeth and replied calmly:

"It is so ancient that it has been lost without investigation. In recent times, Taoist fetuses have been implicated and harmed by their own Taoist companions. We, Xiaoxiu, can't explain it clearly... It is better to be cautious than to be single."

Li Yuanjiao remained silent, which made Kong Tingyun worried. He held the jade bottle in the air and cast spells without saying a word. It was not until the light blue spiritual water emerged from the ground that he became a little happy.

Li Yuanjiao and her erased all traces in the lake, then said goodbye and left in the wind. Kong Tingyun sent him out of the realm of the Immortal Sect and watched him disappear into the horizon carrying the huge hooked snake.

"Oh! What are you thinking about!"

Kong Tingyun patted her forehead, rode the wind back, and faced the right and wrong in the door alone.
