I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 462 Awakening, the entrance ran away (5k)

The black snake with a broken horn lay at the bottom of the water and moved its body slightly. The eight streams of water that bound its body suddenly sped up and the restraints tightened a little.

He has been trapped here for too long, so long that he has been hearing people talking day and night. This place has become a tourist attraction. He has developed human nature, but he is still here.

The separated parts of humanity turned into ghosts and were able to leave, but in the end, that part of humanity chose to come back.

The appearance of that ghost was the person who suppressed him here back then.

Now that humanity has returned, the Broken-Horned Black Snake's mood has become quite complicated.

He recalled that the Taoist priest, who was still in his prime, suppressed him here.

"You have been taught before, so you are not hopeless. I will keep you here."

"You probably won't understand the chanting, you might just find it annoying."

"You will understand what people say here, the daily lives of ordinary people."

"Let's make a bet. One day, you will definitely be able to cultivate human nature here."

Many years later, when the Taoist priest grew old and was about to pass away, he came to the well.

"If you have no humanity, why did you keep this well from drying up and overflowing for decades, and why did you save the child who fell into it?"

"He pooped in the well and it stinks." This is what the Broken-Horned Black Snake said at the time. He really thought it stinks and wanted to throw the little brat out quickly.

After listening to him, the Taoist laughed three times, and finally told him that one day, if he wanted to go out, he would be able to go out.

Later, he slept for a long time. After waking up, he found that he had developed human nature, turned into a ghost, and became the Taoist's appearance. Moreover, he could really walk out at will.

The Taoist's surname was Luo.

Now that his transformed humanity had returned on its own initiative, he finally understood the meaning of many of the things Lao Luo had told him before.

Only after he made his choice will Lao Luo return.

It was only after Lao Luo returned that he truly understood that if he understood everything, he would not be trapped here. He could leave at any time and did not need anyone or any method to help him escape from this cage.

He knew that he was courting disaster, but he still made the choice.

Now I understand why Lao Luo gave him a new option after testing him and let him choose for himself.

After so many years, this well has never dried up or overflowed, and has fed generation after generation of people. People have watched children play by the well, watched the children grow up, and the children grow old. Eventually, when a funeral procession passes by the well, they will say something to the well.

The humanity he had developed long ago, not just Lao Luo, even without Lao Luo, he would have changed.

He has changed, only then will Lao Luo return.

This sounds a bit confusing, but actually he understood that Luo Daoren won that year, but now he doesn't think there is anything wrong with losing the bet.

Just like after I first awakened my spiritual wisdom, I never wanted to return to ignorance.

Even though we were once ignorant, we could still point out some benefits. But after we opened our minds, we had more worries, more troubles, and more pain.

If he really had to choose, he would not want to go back even if it meant death.

It’s the same now. Once you really understand something, you can never go back.

He understood why Lao Luo said that Wen Yan introduced himself as "Decheng Wen Yan". These four words made Lao Luo make up his mind completely.

Putting aside the various pros and cons, various self-perceptions, and the issue of not using power to overwhelm others, this sentence represents.

It was the same with Taoist Luo back then. We told him the name of a place he didn't even know where it was, and used it to attribute his origin to. Until his death, he never told him that he was actually from Qingcheng, one of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks.

Now, he actually didn’t know where in the world Decheng was. Except for some well-known places, the names of many places were changing.

A place name like Decheng is too common. If I have no impression of it, it must be a small place.

The scattered news he had heard before were always about the warm words from Fuyu Mountain, and no one had ever mentioned the word "Decheng" to him.

He only knew about Xijiang River, that King Guilong had revived, and that Decheng should be within the Xijiang River basin, that was all.

The eyes of the black snake with broken horns were a little dull. At this moment, it seemed to understand a lot. It also understood many things that it could only do but not say.

Four of the eight chains formed by water veins that bound his body began to loosen themselves, like a circle around him.

He just moved slightly, and his upper body broke free from the restraints.

As he moved, the thick layer of black scales on the originally dark scales fell off piece by piece, revealing the emerald green scales underneath.

There was a faint glow on his broken horn, like the color of newly grown antlers in the sun.

The horn-broken black snake felt all of this, and the expected sense of pleasure was far less than he had imagined. Instead, what made him most happy was an indescribable understanding.

After gradually calming down, he twisted his body, and the fallen black scales flew back again and covered his body. His body took the initiative to get into the restraints that he had already broken free from.

As he thought about it, the loosened restraints were tightened again, looking exactly the same as before.

He nodded with satisfaction and lay there again.

Since the constraints have not been completely removed, it proves that there are still some things he has not fully understood, so it is better to keep things as they are and maintain the original rules.

The broken-horned black snake lay here for a short while before it suddenly opened its eyes, staring ahead with its pair of vertical pupils.

It was as if it suddenly rained in this quiet underwater area, and the track was very clear.

In the rain, a man in a long robe walked towards us, from far away to near, from blurry to clear.

The robed man appeared with a smile on his face.

"Long time no see, are you ready?"

"Hmm." The broken-horned black snake hummed, neither cold nor hot.

“This should be the only chance. Now that the spiritual energy recovery has not yet reached its peak, we have a slight chance to borrow strength from the Luotian Grand Ceremony.

If the spiritual energy recovers to its peak, I am afraid that if we show our faces for a moment after welcoming the gods, we will be killed without a burial place.

Tomorrow is the last chance, and it must start when the welcoming ceremony reaches the middle.

It won't work either early or late.

Be prepared and remember what I tell you.

You must ask yourself: Am I a monster or a human? If you are wrong, you will fail.

After success, you can fly high in the sky as high as a bird can fly."

"Besides letting me help you travel by water, what else do you want?" the black snake with broken horns suddenly asked.

This question seemed a little beyond the robed man's expectations. He thought about it and pointed to the ground below.

"I want your cage. Anyway, once you leave, you won't come back to this place again."

The black snake with a broken horn nodded and said nothing more.

The man in the robe didn't care. The black snake with a broken horn has always been like this. He looks very vigilant. In fact, as long as there is a carrot hanging in front of him, he will be willing to cooperate.

The man in the robe knew best what this guy, who had been suppressed for a long time but not yet suppressed to death, wanted most.

As long as they can get what they want, they don’t care what they do or what the consequences are. In other words, these guys don’t even think about the consequences.

Over time, humans are still the protagonists of this world, and the brain is the core reason.

There are many weirdos who really have no brains at all.

Purely literal meaning, objective description, not derogatory.

The man in the robe came over to meet the black snake with a broken horn in person to make sure the route was clear.

If he hadn't found this route, the man in the robe wouldn't have dared to run to Qingcheng to seek death at this time.

After welcoming the gods tomorrow, at least one-third of the saints’ attention will be focused here. Even if the old Heavenly Master does not come, there is a great probability that the others will trap him to death.

Whether he can win or not is another matter, but he is quite confident that he can escape.

But if he wanted to do what he wanted, he could only use the natural water veins underground to do it quietly.

The underground water veins here are found where two of them intersect, but where eight veins intersect, only the broken-horned black snake is suppressed.

If you want to shorten the journey as much as possible and be as stealthy as possible, it is impossible to bypass this place and bypass the broken-horned black snake.

Pulling the broken-horned black snake onto the boat was indeed a helpless thing at the beginning.

If you don't pull it, the broken-horn black snake will find you and make a little noise, and all your efforts will be ruined.

But after getting familiar with it, the man in the robe discovered the identity of the black snake with broken horns during investigation, and he began to have other ideas in his mind.

The man in the robe came over to take a look, and after confirming for a moment, he turned and left, disappearing in the rain.

After the man in the robe disappeared completely for a moment, the black snake with a broken horn stuck out its tongue and caught the remaining things here. After confirming that the other party had indeed left, he opened his mouth.

A demon soul with a green upper body and a pitch-black lower body emerged from his mouth.

The demon soul coiled into a snake formation, twisted its body, and turned into the appearance of Lao Luo.

Lao Luo reached out his hand, closed the snake's dull eyes, and turned away.

Lao Luo's eyes turned into snake pupils, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into human eyes. He smiled. Now he was both Lao Luo and the black snake with a broken horn. If he wanted to, he could even abandon his physical body and leave now.

But he didn't want to. He wanted to leave here openly after becoming fully enlightened.

Before that, we have to follow Lao Luo's advice and pull back from the brink.

After walking out of the Octagonal Well, Lao Luo walked to the entrance of the town, where there was a police booth with people from the Lieyang Tribe there.

Lao Luo came over and borrowed a phone from the other person amidst his surprised look.

He dialed the number Wen Yan left.

On the other side, Wen Yan received the news and took dozens of meters at a time in the mountains, rapidly approaching the town.

When we arrived at the agreed place, Lao Luo was already waiting there.

This time, when Wen Yan saw Lao Luo, the moment their eyes met, he stopped. This was not the Lao Luo from before.

The look in his eyes changed completely.

The prompt also appeared at the same time.

"Green snake."

"He was once unruly and beastly, and was suppressed by the Qingcheng masters. But because he still had a trace of humanity in him, they could not bear to kill him and wanted to educate him.

Chanting scriptures, meditating, fasting and drinking dew were all attempts to edify and guide him onto the right path, so he suddenly had an idea to suppress him in the Octagonal Well.

Let him be tempered by the worldly affairs, let thousands of ordinary people educate him, temper his animal nature and guide his humanity.

After a long time, his humanity was finally aroused and he became aware.

This is the ancient way of achieving enlightenment, shedding the demon body and transforming into an immortal human.

Now, after nearly a thousand years of suffering, I have finally achieved enlightenment.”

“Although he may not have completed his enlightenment and walked the final path, it is already quite rare. He already has the most basic things of the Ancient Demon Saint.

It would be a pity to kill him. Since he is determined to follow the right path, let’s guide him to the right path.”

"Temporary ability: kill snakes."

"Snake Slash: Can cause simultaneous damage to the snake's body and spirit (need to obtain the title Dragonborn Enemy)"

The moment Wen Yan saw the other party and then saw the prompt that appeared, he understood that the judgment he made at the first moment was correct.

The last time I saw Lao Luo, there was no such hint. At that time, Lao Luo looked like just a strange ghost, and his strength was probably at the level of an ordinary ghost.

This time, it was completely different.

Wen Yan didn't completely believe the tip, as it didn't say there was no danger at all.

He immediately equipped himself with the temporary ability, and to be on the safe side, he also took on the title of Dragonborn's natural enemy.

In an instant, Lao Luo's eyes turned into emerald green snake pupils, and his whole body instinctively produced a stress response as if he had encountered a huge threat.

Wen Yan, who seemed ordinary just now and only had a strong yang energy in his body, seemed to become extremely dangerous all of a sudden.

One of his hands seemed to be holding the lifeline of a ferocious beast as it was wrapped around his wrist. Under his feet was the blood of a giant beast that contained dragon power, and behind him were several headless corpses of dragon descendants.

Wen Yan looked ordinary and didn't even have any murderous aura, but under the contrast of this illusion, he seemed three times more ferocious than the dragon-born beast.

With a grin, Lao Luo felt as if his body had been suppressed, and the evil spirits seemed to be instinctively ready to be killed.

When Wen Yan saw Lao Luo's reaction, he gave up the title of the Dragon Clan's natural enemy.

He saw that Lao Luo's introduction was of a green snake, and the natural enemy profession also generated temporary abilities, which meant that this guy was not a dragon, but was somewhat close to it.

I just didn’t expect that after changing the title, Lao Luo seemed to sense his natural enemy and responded with stress.

After Wen Yan changed his title, he saw that Lao Luo's emerald green snake pupils had turned into human eyes again.

"Lao Luo? Or is it Lao Luo?"

"I am Lao Luo, but Lao Luo is not me."

"Oh, the Avatar."

"Roughly the same……"

"Do you have something important to talk to me about?" Wen Yan was still quite relaxed. At this time today, no one should think that he could get away alive after fighting at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain and attacking a disciple of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks.

Thinking of his previous impression of Lao Luo, when he saw the green snake again, he confirmed his guess that the other party was just testing him.

"Something is going on. Tomorrow someone will use the power of the Luotian Grand Ceremony to welcome the gods and do something related to asking for a title."

Wen Yan's eyes suddenly froze.

"Tell me more specifically."

Qing Snake directly confessed his contact with a certain person and what he was going to do.

"Aren't you afraid of speaking out and being sensed by that person?"

"He can't sense it. That's what Lao Luo said, but Lao Luo no longer exists."

"..." Wen Yan pondered over these words and thought, this guy is really enlightened. It's clearly a bug, but he made it sound like it has some philosophical meaning.

Wen Yan continued to listen, and when she heard the words of the man in the long robe asking for a title, she laughed.

He had seen with his own eyes in his old dream how people asked for a title. Only one sentence of the request was valid, the rest were all invalid.

Wen Yan didn't believe that this sentence was correct at all.

This phrase is definitely used after using up the Green Snake and then crossing the river to destroy the bridge.

At that time, Green Snake will be the one to take the blame and give an explanation to everyone on Qingcheng Mountain.

Otherwise, if we cause trouble at an event like the Luotian Dajiao, can we still expect those Taoist priests to just let it go?

The standard ending is to chase the person down and scatter his ashes across the four oceans.

Wen Yan laughed, and Qing Snake laughed too.

The green snake was laughing at her past self for being too naive and stupid, only thinking about doing one thing and not thinking about what would happen after that.

"He has already passed through the underground water veins, right?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I will report the whole incident to you. As for how to deal with it afterwards, my words now have no say. I can assure you that it will be fair."

Qingshe didn't mention the matter of identity this time, he just said.

"If I come out one day, I want to go to Qingcheng and pay homage to Master Luo."

"I will personally talk to Taoist Qingxuzi of Qingcheng later."

Qing Snake was satisfied, and now he understood Lao Luo's good intentions more and more.

Wen Yan took out his cell phone and asked Black Box to send a message to the head of the headquarters, summarizing the previous message and sending it over.

Ten seconds later, Wen Yan's phone rang.

"Is something going to happen?"

"Have you read the message?"

"I'm reading it."

"I think there's no need to look for the entrance to the giant tree area in the northeast. It's highly unlikely that we'll find it."

Wen Yan came back from his old dream and rested at home for two days. The Lieyang Tribe had already dealt with the area of ​​the Huang Xianer Temple, and there were no major problems with other intelligence.

The only thing is that the giant tree that was speculated to be in the area, the one that swallowed the giant zombie in gorgeous clothes into its trunk, has never been found in the relevant area.

We have clearly already searched that area thoroughly, tried every possible means, but still can't find any trace of the area.

It was previously speculated that the entrance to the realm had never materialized because of the wrong phase of the moon.

This time, when Wen Yan heard Qing Snake mention asking for a title and the familiar words for asking for a title, he suddenly understood.

It’s not that the people over there are not good enough and can’t find the entrance, but that the entrance may not be fixed at all and may have been moved away long ago.

Moreover, he should have been brought to Qingcheng quietly by the man in the long robe using the underground water veins.

Wen Yan didn't know what that guy was going to do, but a giant tree and a big zombie in gorgeous clothes, who could use a bug to ask for a title, and now had to take advantage of the Luotian Grand Ceremony to welcome the gods, it was probably not a good thing.

The most urgent task now is to find where the entrance is.

On the other side, the director looked at the information sent by the black box with a frown on his face.

They all guessed that all the people thrown out before were scapegoats to attract attention, but they really didn't expect that the guy who couldn't be found at all had actually been eyeing Luotian Dajiao for a long time. He was really bold.
