Chapter 4 Pretend, just pretend

"Although I am not here in the old days, I am going to Kyoto to spend the late spring. There are cicadas chirping under the tree and the moon is flowing over the stream. I wonder who it belongs to tonight?"

The giant snake hiding in the distance couldn't help but trembled when it heard the verse casually murmured by the 'Expert', and its mind analyzed the profound meaning revealed in this verse...

"It doesn't matter if you are still here in the old days", isn't it just a matter of the master lamenting his own reincarnation?

"Let's go to Kyoto to spend the late spring." It seems that the master is going to a place called Kyoto on this trip...

"One tree cicadas chirping and one stream the moon" should be a description of the scenery, which just fits the artistic conception of this scene at this moment...

"I don't know who it belongs to tonight" is slightly doubtful, which means that the master has actually discovered himself long ago!!

The snake demon became more convinced that the master was testing him, so he no longer hesitated and swam out of the forest in a meandering way...

Rourou said weakly: "Little... the little demon has always been timid. He didn't intend to hide his traces. I hope the immortal will not be upset..."

"..."

Xu Boqing was frightened when he heard the sound. Before he could see the person clearly, he felt a jolt when he sat down. Thinking that the donkey would be frightened, he would also fall down, so he simply pressed his hands on the donkey's back and jumped down using the strength.

I don’t know whether it was because I had been sitting for a long time or because I exerted too much force. When I landed on the ground, my feet felt numb and my legs seemed to have lost all feeling...

The donkey also felt a light touch on his body. He turned around and ran away without thinking. While running, he made a shrill cry of "Angang~angang~"...

Xu Boqing didn't feel any distress when his transportation tool ran away. When he saw the big snake crawling on the road in front of him, he even wanted to run with the old donkey...

Just... my legs are numb!!

***…

When the snake demon saw the Immortal Chief get off the donkey, he stood there with an ugly expression. He thought the Immortal Chief was angry, so he quickly lowered the snake's head and said in human words: "Immortal Chief, forgive me, Immortal Chief, forgive me."

crime…"

"..."

Talking snake!!

Snake... snake demon!?

Xu Boqing's breathing was stagnant, and he felt a cold air flowing from the soles of his feet through his back to his forehead. A layer of fine sweat instantly overflowed from his back. Now his legs and feet were not only numb, but also a little weak. It was difficult to even walk, let alone run.

…

In the memory of the original owner, there were people practicing martial arts in the Liang Kingdom. His second uncle and cousin were examples. Most of them, such as Jianghu Rangers and strongmen, had martial arts skills.

It's not that special.

So he always thought that the world he lived in was similar to the ancient times in his previous life...

But now...

Suddenly a giant snake that was more than ten meters long, as thick as a bucket, and could talk called itself an immortal. Under the double impact of vision and cognition, he was very brave not to collapse to the ground!!

Don't panic!

Absolutely don’t panic!!

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Xu Boqing came back to his senses. His thoughts were racing in his mind, and he was thinking about how to deal with it.

This giant snake can talk, which means that there really are "monsters", "fairies", "spirits" and the like in this world.

It calls itself 'immortal chief' and keeps a very low profile. Either it has recognized the wrong person, or it is seeking something from itself.

In the memory of the original owner, he had eaten a lot of snake soup, but he had absolutely no experience in rescuing snakes. Moreover, he had just been in this world for a while, his surname was Xu but not Xu, and he was not familiar with snakes.

Although he has a golden finger by his side, his mortal body is by no means the immortal he says he is!

Apart from the fact that the hundred and ten kilograms of meat on his body can fill its belly, I really can’t think of what the snake demon wants from me...

In other words, it recognized the wrong person!!

Mistaken yourself as a certain immortal cultivator!?

If this is the case, there is still a chance of survival!!

After Xu Bo cleared his mind, he suddenly felt that his mouth was dry and he couldn't run. He didn't think that his two legs could outrun the snake demon. At this time, he only had two choices...

Plan 1: Tell it the truth, say that you are just a mortal, not an immortal, and then beg it to spare your life.

But the snake demon's posture is very low now because it has recognized the wrong person. Once it knows that it is a mortal body, will its posture still be so low?

There is a high probability that he will swallow himself in anger...

inappropriate…

Plan 2: Pretend! Pretend to be the fairy it calls you!

The snake demon thinks that he is an immortal, and his posture is so low. He must be in awe of the so-called "immortal". As long as he pretends to be more like him, he might be able to get away with it...

The difficulty lies in how to pretend. If you don't pretend to be the same and expose your chicken feet, you will definitely annoy the snake demon and you will die!

'You will die if you beg for mercy, and you will die if you pretend, so whatever the hell, just pretend, at least you will die comfortably!!'

After making up his mind, Xu Boqing took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, stared at the three-foot-long snake demon, and asked calmly: "What is your crime?"

The snake demon was lying on the ground and chanting, "Immortal, please forgive me." Seeing that the "immortal" had been silent for a long time, it took courage and raised its head slightly.

However, he found that the 'immortal chief' was staring at him, asking for guilt. The timid creature was so frightened that he immediately leaned down again...

'The Immortal's expression was indifferent, and he did not show much dislike for the demon clan. The purpose of asking questions must be to test my character and see if I am honest.'

After thinking clearly about the "profound intention" of the Immortal Chief, it said in human words: "The little demon has two sins. One is that he knew that the Immortal Chief reincarnated and re-cultivated, and he must be a wonderful and true immortal. However, the little demon had no intention of asking.

But he didn't have the courage to ask. Instead, he wandered around the Immortal Chief to test, waiting for the Immortal Chief to remind him before he dared to show up...

The second is that the little demon’s cultivation is shallow and he is unable to transform and hide his demonic aura. When he appears, he frightens the Immortal’s mount and stains the Immortal’s Dharma Eye..."

"oh?"

Xu Boqing raised his eyebrows in surprise, but actually took this opportunity to analyze the useful information revealed in the snake demon's words.

'Could it be that by chance, it saw the process of traveling through time by reviving a dead body, so it misunderstood that it was the reincarnation of an expert cultivator?'

So he followed its words, pretending to be indifferent and asked: "How did you know that I was reincarnated?"

The snake demon was delighted when he heard this. It had previously speculated based on the information in the bloodline inheritance that it was the reincarnation of an immortal master, but that was just a guess after all.

Now the Immortal Chief did not refute, but asked himself how he knew the secret of reincarnation and rebuilding. Didn't he admit his guess in a disguised manner?

It's just that when the immortal asked this question, could it be that he didn't see my heels clearly?

The snake demon thought about it for a while, and had a vague understanding in his heart. The most important thing for the immortal master is the mind. The immortal leader asked this question, either he was reincarnated and re-cultivated, and his magic power has not yet been restored;

Either he wants to test his own character. Judging from the indifference with which the immortal spoke, the latter is very likely...

You have to answer honestly...

"It's good to teach the immortal to know."

The snake demon bravely swam forward, and after falling under the silver light of the moonlight, he explained: "The little demon has the bloodline of the ancient Xuanyin snake, and has always been sensitive to the energy of life and death.

When the Immortal comes to the future, this body will be overflowing with death energy, and its three souls and seven souls will be dispersed;

When the immortal comes, this body is full of spirit and soul, and the vigorous vitality it emits is like the scorching sun, which is too scary to look directly at.

Based on the information in the bloodline inheritance, the little demon deduced that it must be the reincarnation of an immortal master."

When Xu Boqing saw the snake demon swimming forward, he thought it was his chicken legs that were exposed, and his heart was beating fast. After hearing its explanation, his heart in his throat was swallowed back...

Through the brilliance of the moonlight, he also saw that the entire body of the snake demon was a dark black color.

The triangular snake head also proves that it is a snake and not a python. There are also faint gray and white patterns on the fine scales, which looks ferocious and terrifying...
