The Wheel-Turning Master.

Ape-howling mountain, on top of Mingshui peak.

Miaomiao and the Jindan old ape sat opposite each other, each holding a chess piece, while Xiuxiu watched the fight on the side.

"Back when I was at Qiaoshan, my chess skills were the best among all the other players!"

At the end of the game, Miaomiao won three games, and she kept talking nonsense, "The ancestor of my junior sister's family has been immersed in chess for hundreds of years. Even the newly promoted Yuanying, the current head of Zhou Huishan, is only 50-50 with me. Masters are lonely, so when I heard about the ancestor, I invited me to play chess. But it takes him several years to make a move, and I have a white beard after a game of chess! I played fast chess with him, and guess what happened in the end?"

"What's the matter?" The old ape glanced at Miaomiao's chin and thought, even if what you said is true, he shouldn't grow a beard, right?

"I beat the heaven by half a move! I beat Old Ancestor Xiang by half a move!" Miao Miao boasted, "But I never thought there were more talented people out there. Old Sun, your chess skills are really good!"

Miaomiao praised him vigorously, and then revealed her purpose, "How about this, we each make a bet, just for fun, and let my little mistress be the judge."

The Jindan old ape thought for a while, hesitated a little, and did not dare to respond.

"Just come up with anything, no matter if it's a magical herb or medicine, or some special product. I just have nothing to do, so I might as well treat it as a discussion." Miaomiao said.

"Okay then." Seeing that the guest was very interested, the Jindan Old Ape couldn't refuse, so he agreed.

But Xiuxiu disagreed and said, "Miaomiao, your master won't allow you to do this."

"Little Master's Wife, Brother Sun and I are of the same mind. In fact, we were planning to give each other gifts. The game of chess was just an excuse to win." Miaomiao always finds loopholes.

"That's right." Old Jindan nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Xiuxiu stopped trying to persuade her, thinking that once she suffers from Miaomiao, she will realize she was wrong.

After the game was over, Miaomiao lost by one piece and gave away a bottle of pills.

In the second game, Miaomiao lost a piece and gave away another bottle of pills.

Xiuxiu could see clearly that the two players were equally skilled in chess, but Miaomiao was always one move behind.

"I was pecked in the eye." Xiuxiu is not stupid. She knows that Miaomiao originally wanted to win, but it turned out that Miaomiao lost the game before because she was hiding her weakness.

"No more playing." Miaomiao stopped immediately, "Old Sun, you are so powerful, I am no match for you."

Miaomiao admitted defeat honestly. The Golden Pill Ape returned the two bottles of pills with a smile and said, "I love to study chess the most. I have only entered a minor path and am not as brilliant as my junior sister."

"If you win, it's yours. We can afford to lose." Miaomiao had a bad heart, but she was decent. She refused and just pulled Xiuxiu's sleeve, "Master's wife, it's your turn!"

Xiuxiu was excited and was about to take action, but suddenly she had an idea and looked back in the direction of Preaching Mountain.

There was only a roar, low yet huge, and the divine pressure was as strong as the wind.

The Jindan old ape was immediately stunned, and Xiuxiu and Miaomiao were also dumbfounded.

"Has the Snake King woken up?" Miaomiao murmured, looking towards the Preaching Mountain.

However, Preaching Mountain was too far away, and all we could see was a hazy poisonous fog, without knowing the details.

“It shouldn’t be…” Before the Jindan old ape could finish his words, he saw the thick fog in the area of ​​Preaching Mountain gradually thinning, revealing the outline of the Preaching Mountain’s peak, especially the black snake entwined on it, which was extremely conspicuous.

"Don't look, don't think!" Xiuxiu said immediately.

Miaomiao and the Golden Core Ape quickly lay down, but before they could calm themselves down, they saw a tiny flame in the direction of the Preaching Mountain, followed by two powerful divine powers descending.

With a loud rumbling sound, the sudden pressure from the two gods disappeared. Xiuxiu and the other two only felt their hearts trembling and filled with great fear.

Then a ray of light swept across this secret place, like an immortal taking inspection.

Miaomiao was already lying on the ground obediently, not daring to make a sound.

The Snake King glanced around, but did not linger on the three small shrimps. Instead, he saw a big bear in the distance that met with a disaster and was swallowed in one gulp.

After a long time, the shock in my heart subsided a little.

"Don't make any noise, don't use any magic, just calm down." After all, the Jindan old ape is a native of this place and has more experience.

Miaomiao and Xiuxiu didn't dare to respond at all, they were very honest.

After waiting for a long time, the old ape of the Golden Core said, "The Snake King is as tall as the sky. We are just like dust on the ground. As long as we don't block the way and don't make trouble, the Snake King won't even look at us. He usually only pursues the Nascent Soul."

"Is your ancestor okay?" Miaomiao did not realize that her master was in trouble, and Xiuxiu also looked normal, which showed that the green-skinned fox was also fine.

The Jindan old ape shook his head slightly, indicating that his ancestor should not be dead either.

"Master is a very gentle and kind person, he would never provoke the Snake King." Miaomiao immediately made a judgment, "In my opinion, it must be Senior Jie and the two Yuanyings of Jiuzhashan who are causing trouble."

The Jindan old ape didn't say anything, obviously not agreeing.

"My fairy... doesn't like to cause trouble." Xiuxiu forced a smooth talk for Qinghu.

"My ancestor would never dare to provoke the Snake King." The Golden Core Old Ape also spoke for Sun Jianxing.

The three men waited for an hour, and poisonous fog rose from the Preaching Mountain again.

When it was dark, the three of them suddenly felt their bodies lighten, and the pressure from the incarnation dissipated. But the feeling of being watched did not dissipate, and it was still vague, like the sun and the moon in the sky.

However, the feeling of fear in their hearts had subsided a lot. The three of them knew that after being awakened, the Snake King was very angry and was still looking for the troublemaker, but he no longer paid attention to Xiao Xiami.

The old ape of the Golden Core led Xiuxiu and Miaomiao down the mountain and came to a water curtain cave. He did not dare to set up a formation, let alone use any magical powers, and just started talking directly.

"It's been half a day, and the old ancestor hasn't returned yet. It shows that he also knows that the Snake King is chasing him, so he must have hidden himself." said the Golden Core Old Ape.

Yuanying Sun Jianxing was able to avoid the eyes of the Divine Snake King, which shows that he either has special abilities or relies on the invincible heritage of his ancestors.

"Master's Wife, what should we do?" Miaomiao was not too worried. She thought the same as the old Jindan ape. Since the master didn't come back, he probably didn't dare to come back and was probably hiding in some pit.

"The fairy and I are connected in spirit. She seems to have been infected with snake venom, but the injury is not serious. She is with your master now and dare not reveal her breath." Xiuxiu calmed down and said, "The fairy asked you and me to wait here quietly, don't go out."

Since the fox had given her advice, Miaomiao decided not to step in, but she still said to the Golden Core Ape: "I am planning to go back and ask for help from Old Ancestor Xiang."

Three days later, the poisonous fog on the Preaching Mountain became thicker. But the patrolling feeling did not dissipate, and the sight seemed to have a shape and substance, constantly patrolling here.

The Golden Core Ape went to comfort his tribesmen, while Xiuxiu and Miaomiao stayed in the Water Curtain Cave in a daze.

"The fairy seemed to think that the Snake King was really angry, and it was unknown how long it would take for him to calm down. She asked us to hide for a while and try not to contact the seniors who went to Preaching Mountain this time." Xiuxiu said.

"That's great, let's go find Xiaoyuer, I miss her!" Miaomiao has never been separated from Jiangyu since she was a child.

"Don't worry." Xiuxiu took out the bronze mirror and counted her fingers, then said, "It doesn't seem to be dangerous."

"As long as we don't provoke monsters along the way and don't fight or compete, everything will be fine." Miaomiao was very confident and whispered, "I always feel like I should go. If I go, I can put an end to an old matter."

"It seems that you have some feelings in your heart. But what are the old things?" Xiuxiu asked curiously.

"I don't know either." Miaomiao spread her hands. "Master has the grace to raise me. Maybe Master slept with some spirit beast here, leaving behind a wild child. I have to raise it for Master. This is called kneeling to suckle."

"What a mess!" Xiuxiu pinched Miaomiao's face.

Miaomiao laughed for a long time before she said honestly, "I heard from Master that my ancestors died here, and many of them died."

Xiuxiu nodded slightly and said, "Your master and Zhu Jianyang are close friends. He will definitely help you, and I will help you too."

"Master's wife, you are so nice!" Miaomiao rubbed Xiuxiu hard.

The two of them made up their minds and went to find the Jindan old ape together. They did not hide anything and said directly that they were afraid that Sun Jianxing would return rashly. Miaomiao also advised them to temporarily evacuate their fellow tribesmen in Yuanxiao Mountain.

"My disciples have lived here for who knows how many years. If we move rashly, it will cause more noise." The Golden Core Ape smiled bitterly and sent out two more lotus leaves. "This thing can best conceal the smell. If you are not in front of me, you will think it is an ordinary green plant."

Xiuxiu and Miaomiao took the things, thanked the people, and returned the way they came.

Both of them were cautious people, and with a divine snake king on their heads, they were even more serious, fearing that they would attract attention.

However, the monsters along the way were so scared that they didn't dare to go out, so the two of them really didn't encounter any trouble at all.

"Xiao Yuer has been fishing for her entire life, but in the end, she was caught away by a fish! I told her a long time ago to catch less fish, but she wouldn't listen." Miaomiao still had time to talk nonsense.

Xiuxiu shook her head when she heard this and said, "Xiaoyu goes fishing for meditation and practice, and then releases the fish after catching them."

"Release them? Many fish's mouths are pouty due to being hooked!" Miaomiao said.

"Anyway, don't say anything about fishing in front of the Red Carp Fairy." Xiuxiu said.

"I'm not stupid." Miaomiao said.

After walking for dozens of miles on the mountain road, Xiuxiu pulled Miaomiao to stop.

I saw a long snake leaning against a longevity tree in front of me. The snake was covered with wounds and emitted a trace of poisonous gas.

There was a huge wound on the neck, and the tendons, bones, and flesh seemed to have been moved and twisted together.

There are only a few scales left on the snake's body, and it looks extremely withered.

The snake's head was huge, and its eyes were blurred and lifeless, like an old man who had been deprived of all vitality and was waiting to die after being suddenly overwhelmed by the ruthless years.

The giant snake relied on the Longevity Tree, hoping to absorb the vitality of the spiritual wood, but the huge wound was like a whirlpool, constantly draining the vitality of the snake, as if it would even wipe out its lifespan.

Xiuxiu and Miaomiao didn't even look at each other. They both threw out blinding talismans, and then their swords flew up and slashed at the giant snake.

The big snake opened its eyes, revealing its resentment and hatred, but when it raised its head slightly, it was no longer able to resist.

In just a few breaths, the big snake was cut into several pieces and was no longer alive.

"Is that it?" Ren Miaomiao had a lot on her mind, but she was a little confused at the moment.

"He is indeed dead." Xiuxiu put away the flying sword and bronze mirror and asked, "Why did you do it?"

"I feel disgusted when I see it." Miaomiao's answer makes sense. "Master, why did you take action directly?"

"The wounds on its body must have been left by your master. I've seen him take action." Xiuxiu said.

"Master gets into trouble outside, and we have to clean up his mess!" Miaomiao put her hands on her hips and whispered, "I feel relieved now that this big snake is dead. It must have been the same when our ancestor died. He couldn't even put up a bit of resistance. Master avenged my father, and now he's avenged my family's old grudge. I have to go back and find a few more for Master..."

"Your master treats you as his own daughter, so he is naturally willing to help you. Don't overthink it." Seeing that the blinding talisman had taken effect and did not attract the attention of the Snake King, Xiuxiu quickly grabbed Miaomiao and ran forward, "Just be obedient from now on. Let's go."

"I haven't touched the corpse yet!" Miaomiao said hurriedly. (End of this chapter)
