The fourth world: The Snake Yao and His Little Monk (8)

Recap

After the system taught Ch Shici how to remotely control the lotus platform, it looked at the busy host and asked curiously: [What are you doing?]

After confirming that the Lotus platform is with Xunzhe, Chu Shici breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Calling Zhe-ge to come over and save me.”

The system is silent for a moment, [But isn’t the male protagonist sealed?]

Chu Shici remains silent.

When he is in danger, he will subconsciously think of Zhe-ge.

However, Xunzhe is trapped in the cave and cannot help him at all. Sending the Lotus platform over will only make Zhe-ge anxious and worried.

Chu Shici tried to call the lotus platform back, but the little lotus was caught by Xunzhe and could not go anywhere.

It is very quiet in the small room. Lady Dayangtian remains motionless like a golden statue.

Last night, Lady Dayangtian only needed one look to control the woman. Chu Shici does not dare to return to the body of the little wooden sculpture, fearing that he will also be controlled.

Before, when his relationship with the system was not as good as it is now, the system never mentioned that the host soul can enter its system space.

Now that their relationship is good, it takes him home every day.

Chu Shici ate and drank at the system’s house for the whole day.

After playing until about five o’clock in the afternoon, the wooden door which had been closed suddenly opened, and a young monk led a middle-aged man in.

The middle-aged man is wearing a pair of sunglasses and a flat cap, his face is completely covered.

He appears panicked and keeps rubbing his hands together. Chu Shici hug the system and look outside. There seems to be a knife hidden in his coat.

After coming in, he looked at the statue of Lady Dayangtian infatuatedly and couldn’t help but extend his hand to touch it.

The monk stepped sideways to block his hand and then he saw at the small wooden sculpture whose head is held down by the golden statue with some surprise.

To appease the man, he opened the folder and said, “Mr. Zhang, give me your photo and 8 characters of birth.”

The man took out a paper bag from his bag, “Here’s everything, and here’s the money.”

The monk opened it to have a look, put everything in the folder then took out a booklet and flipped through it.

“There are not many people who are about to give birth during this period. There are only two families left, a boy and a girl. The conditions of the family that is pregnant with a boy are average. Both husband and wife are farmers. But I assume when they do have a son, they will spoil this son very much.”

“The household that is pregnant with a female child is in a relatively good condition. The father is a small factory owner. Which family do you want to reincarnate into, sir?”

The middle-aged man appears to be conflicted, he obviously looked down on the first family but also doesn’t want to be a woman.

He hesitated for two seconds, “Is there really no other choice? I brought so much money here because I want to have a good life.”

“The conditions in the female fetus’s family are good.”

“You want me to be a bitch? You want me to be born to be fucked by others? I might as well have poor ghosts for parents.”

Chu Shici watched the whole process and felt that this person is simply disgusting.

The monk’s expression is still very calm, he seems to have known that the man will say such a thing.

The man became more and more uneasy, and the cold sweat kept flowing down the sides of his face.

He took out a kitchen knife from his pocket and put it on the monk’s neck, “This father, I, gave you money because I want to enjoy happiness in my next life. I don’t want that bitch’s body. Find me a rich father. Your father wants to be a rich second generation!”

The monk shook the brochure, “Yes, there are. But you’ll need to wait for at least seven months.”

“You think the money isn’t enough? I’ll add another fifty thousand!”

“It has nothing to do with money. A pregnancy in October doesn’t mean you’re born immediately in October.”

The man seemed to be in a hurry, his eyes were bloodshot, and he paced around as if he had made up his mind: “Okay, spending half a million yuan to be the son of a poor ghost is better than…”

He stopped mid-sentence.

The monk didn’t ask any further questions, and told him to prepare himself to suicide before 11pm seven days after. There will be someone to help him carry out the deed.

The man jumped and exclaimed: “Seven days?! Can’t I do it today?!”

The monk repeated that children are not born whenever someone wants them to.

These two families will have a child in seven days. If he disagrees, he will have to wait for at least another two months.

The man also has no choice, after threatening the monk viciously with a kitchen knife, he left with a sullen face.

The system lay on the host’s lap, and tsked in disgust, [He still doesn’t like them? The couple who tried so hard for a son are the ones who have suffered bad luck for eight lifetimes. Bah, scum.]

Chu Shici looked at the back of the man going away, “He’s not just a scumbag, he should be a wanted fugitive or owe a loan shark money. Ordinary people will be able to wait patiently if they hear that they will be reborn into a rich second generation after seven months. But he was in such a hurry, either the police are trying to arrest him, or he is being targeted by his enemies. ’

[So he is in a hurry to reincarnate because he is in trouble?]

Chu Shici hummed.

A whole day passed and he didn’t see Xunzhe. He doesn’t know how long it will take for Zhe-ge to break through the seal.

In the middle of the night, several monks came in, putting away all the folders, and filled the table with offerings.

Chu Shici thought it is Lady Dayangtian who is about to eat, but the golden statue remains silent.

Early the next morning, the door of the small house opened again. Not only did the monks come back, but also four policemen.

Several police officers called the leading male police officer Captain Zhang.

When they saw the golden statue, the police were stunned, and then they reacted and scattered to search the room.

Captain Zhang didn’t move, standing at the door talking to the monk.

Chu Shici eavesdropped with his ears pricked up.

A huge serial rape and murder case occurred in City Z. The murderer raped and murdered seventeen women in three years. The youngest victim was only nine years old, and the only survivor was tortured to the point of insanity.

The situation is very bad and has already caused a nationwide panic.

The police are in the process of arresting the murderer. Eyewitnesses said they saw the murderer entering Dayangtian Ming Temple, so they came to investigate and hope that the temple will cooperate.

The monk is very cooperative, but he didn’t say a single word of truth.

Captain Zhang is obviously an experienced detective, and he can tell that there is something wrong with the monk in just a few words.

Chu Shici saw his hand on his belt by his side, ready to take the person down at any time.

At this moment, the monk suddenly turned his head.

Captain Zhang subconsciously followed the monk’s gaze.

The head of the golden statue placed on the altar table had turned into a fox face at some point.

He quickly reached into his belt to grab his gun, but in the next second, the fox opened her eyes and grinned sinisterly at him.

Captain Zhang’s eyes gradually became dull, and when he spoke again, he ordered the team to retreat.

After the captain spoke, the other policemen followed him out with confused expressions.

Before going out, a young policeman looked inside the house and said, “Captain Zhang, it looks like there’s something below the altar…”

Before he could finish his words, he was yelled at by the captain, he could only leave with his head lowered in grievance.

The door is locked again, and Chu Shici gritted his teeth in anger: ‘It’s over, the police are under her control. In six days, this beast can start a new life, escape punishment, and anger the couple to death.’

The system smacked its lips, “This Lady Dayangtian is so evil. No matter whether it’s a monk or a policeman, she can control whoever and whenever she wants. Are all vixens so powerful?”]

‘Zhe-ge said she doesn’t smell like a fox and is not a vixen.’

[But she has the face of a fox.]

In fact, Chu Shici is not interested in what Lady Dayangtian is. He just wanted to know why the old yaoguai wanted to help the evil man snatch a person’s reincarnation placement.

She is a yao, so could yaos also be greedy for money?

Chu Shici was deep in thought when the little wooden sculpture was suddenly tapped twice on the head.

He quickly hid in the space and got into bed with the system.

The golden statue that was motionless just now slowly became the size of a human being.

Chu Shici took a deep breath, hug the system and look out carefully.

Lady Dayangtian’s body is still blurry, but her face is no longer the face of a fox.

Her fair face has no facial features and is instead covered with cracks, as if it is stitched together from pieces of skin.

She picked up the small wood carving and played with it carefully in her hand. The crack near the mouth slowly opened, revealing a dark gap, and a woman’s laughter came from inside.

“Little wood spirit, you have seen what just happened.”

Chu Shici felt his scalp tingle.

“Strange, where did your soul hide? I have never heard of wood that has become a spirit, and can do this kind of magic.”

“Your little lotus flew away. Did you go out to fetch rescuers? The snake is still locked up, so he can’t save you.”

In the middle of speaking, Lady Dayangtian suddenly laughed, “He is quite handsome, even more beautiful than a fox yao when he transforms into his human form. I can’t get enough of it no matter how many times I see him. Unfortunately, he is too arrogant and he is too violent. Wanting to kill me everytime we meet.”

Chu Shici knows that he is no match for her, so he didn’t go out to die. He just showed his middle finger to the outside.

When she mentioned Xunzhe, her voice became colder, “You could have mingled with anyone, but you ended up becoming his subordinate.”

As Lady Dayangtian said this, she casually tear the young monk into pieces.

Throwing the remains to the ground, she stepped onto the altar table and transformed into a golden statue again.

The room became quiet again, the wooden sculpture’s limbs were scattered on the floor, and its head rolled to the side.

Chu Shici:…!

‘Fuck, Tong-ge, my house is torn down!’

System sips on the black tea calmly and says, [It’s okay, just find Xunzhe to repair you when the time comes. Moreover, your soul is in my home and not in the body of the wood carving, so you will not feel any pain. Don’t panic, be at ease.]

Chu Shici is silent for a long time, ‘I’m not worried. Anyway, it will be fine if I’m pieced back together. But what about Zhe-ge?’

[?]

‘I asked the lotus to report to him. If he comes here and sees me like this… his vitality is only at 10 points now, he can’t bear such a big visual impact. No, I have to think of something.’

Chu Shici tried to summon the little lotus, but the lotus platform did not respond. It is probably still caught by Xunzhe.

After waiting for a while, he found that Lady Dayangtian hadn’t responded.

Chu Shici returned to his body, resisting the weird feeling of his limbs being separated, and tried to control the arm not far away.

Just when his arm was about to touch his body, the system suddenly cursed and dragged him back into the system space.

Chu Shici hugged the system and looked out. The golden statue was still sitting on the altar, but its neck stretched so long that it stretched directly from the altar to the door.

The fox head on the slender neck stared directly at the head of the little wooden monk.

After looking at it for a while, the fox head grinned and said, “It’s become an empty shell again, you run very fast indeed.”

Chu Shici’s hairs stood on end.

He thought Lady Dayangtian was tired of playing with him, so she dismantled him into parts.

Unexpectedly, it was intended to make him relax his vigilance, and then make a sudden attack.

At this stalemate, Chu Shici also guessed why the old monster kept staring at him.

When the eminent monk proposed to beat Xunzhe back into his original form so that he could only be a little snake without wisdom, it was Dayangtian who insisted on sealing him.

After the snake yao was sealed, she was posthumously named an Earth immortal. But after five hundred years, she not only stopped accumulating merits, but also started to help people snatch other’s reincarnation spots.

If it isn’t that she has some way to hide it, it is because she doesn’t seek godhood at all.

Targeting Xunzhe was neither for revenge, nor for stepping on him to ascend to godhood, Lady Dayangtian has other plans.

This old monster is obviously not Xunzhe’s opponent. At least five hundred years ago, she would not have dared to confront him head-on.

After the snake yao was sealed, she would go over to have a look at him every once in a while, as if she is afraid that he will run away.

It may be that Xunzhe is too fierce and difficult to approach, or it may be that the seal on the door not only blocks the snake yao, but also prevents her from entering and exiting freely.

Lady Dayangtian has other plans and did not use eminent monks to get rid of the snake yao.

She and Xunzhe had been in a stalemate for five hundred years, but she failed to achieve her goals.

Seeing that the power of the seal is loosening, the snake yao will break through the barrier at any time.

She directed her attention to the little wooden sculpture next to the snake yao, trying to get closer to Xunzhe by controlling the little monk.

Chu Shici doesn’t know what she wants to do, he only knows that he is Xunzhe’s only friend, and Xunzhe trusts him very much.

If he is controlled, Zhe-ge will probably fall into a trap again, so he has to be careful.

___

Lady Dayangtian is starring at him too closely, as soon as Chu Shici returns into his body, she will attack immediately.

He has no choice but to stay in the system space and play games.

In the past four days, Xunzhe didn’t show up and his vitality dropped from 10 to 8.

After so long without drinking water and sunlight, the Little Lotus fell into a state of wither and lost contact with its owner.

On the fourth night, there is another loud noise from the back mountain, as if the mountain had collapsed.

During these past few days, the loud noises would echo several times every night, and Chu Shici knew that it was the white snake hitting the door.

During this period, Lady Dayangtian went out once, and returned to the house two minutes later.

After coming back, she obviously panicked a lot, probably because the seal of the gate had weakened a lot.

She tossed the little wooden carving back and forth, trying to force Chu Shici’s soul out to control him.

Chu Shici has settled in the system space, and he will never leave until he returns to Xunzhe.

On the fifth night, the mountain behind shook violently for a moment.

The golden statue on the altar table once again transformed into a faceless woman with a blurry figure.

She picked up the wood carvings, roughly assembled him, and carried him to the back mountains.

It can be seen that Xunzhe really went all out to find the little monk.

After only five days of absence, cracks appeared on the door that sealed the snake yao.

The scriptures above still emits a golden light, but the light is much dimmer than before.

The chains on the door are almost broken and the door lock is shaky.

As soon as he entered the cave, Chu Shici smelled the strong smell of blood. Through the cracks in the door, he can see large pieces of scattered snake scales.

The white snake is lying on the ground, his body covered with traces of burns from the Buddha Light. His snow-white snake body is stained red with blood, and he looks exhausted.

Looking at the exhausted white snake, Chu Shici almost stopped breathing for a moment.

He called Zhe-ge and wanted to return to the wood carving.

The system hug his thigh and pull him back: [Ah Ci, calm down! That old monster is still holding you. If you go out now, you will most likely be controlled. If you wait a little longer, I think she will give you back.]

Things are pretty much what the system thought.

Lady Dayangtian did not expect that capturing the little monk would have such serious consequences.

If she lets the snake yao continue knocking into the seal so recklessly, the seal will be completely broken soon.

She stood in front of the door, shaking the wooden sculpture in her hand: “Xunzhe, are you looking for this?”

The white snake turns his head and flicks his tongue feebly. He tried to hiss, but the intimidation is no longer there.

Lady Dayangtian observes the condition of the white snake, and tries to push against the seal.

Feeling the evil spirit, the door emitted Buddha Light again, leaving a red mark on her fingertips.

This shows that the seal is still there.

Lady Dayangtian held the little monk’s head, and leaned over to the door to look at the white snake.

“Do you want him? Xunzhe.”

Hearing her words, the White Snake raises his head.

Lady Dayangtian’s face without any facial features and full of cracks instantly transforms into a head belonging to a furry fox.

Seeing Zhe-ge and Lady Dayangtian looking at each other, Chu Shici’s heart sinks.

He also doesn’t care if he will be controlled. He just wants to return to his wooden body, and begins to struggle hard.

It may be that she did not put him back properly, the connection between the neck and the head of the wood carving is unstable.

He just struggled twice and his head lost its home.

The little monk’s body fell to the ground, making a slight sound.

Lady Dayangtian pinched the only remaining wooden head, subconsciously looked down.

The cave was quiet for a moment, and then, a huge force came from behind the door.

The white snake, who was exhausted just now, slammed into the door.

The scriptures emitted its last ray of light, and the copper lock hanging shattered. The door that had sealed the snake yao for 500 years was shattered, and the white snake opened its mouth wide, biting towards Lady Dayangtian.

Lady Dayangtian quickly cast a spell to block, in the process, her hand loosened, and the wooden head in her hand fell to the ground.

Chu Shici tried to control his body, groping around with his short hands for a while, picking up his head and pressing it back onto his neck.

He reacted when the white snake rushed out of the door.

Xunzhe didn’t suffer a serious injury at all, he almost knocked over the seal a long time ago, and guessed that only Lady Dayangtian in the temple could trap his little monk.

The commotion he made is so big today. Since he doesn’t know where to find him after going out, he simply lured Lady Dayangtian to come over on her own initiative.

After seeing that the wood carving is intact, he lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead, taking the opportunity to make her relax her vigilance.

Chu Shici hadn’t had time to learn spells yet, so he couldn’t restore his body to its original state.

Seeing that the White Snake was already fighting with Lady Dayangtian, Chu Shici put his hands on his head and called Zhe-ge crazily.

“Ge, she bullied me! Kill her!”

“She took off my arms and legs before! Ge, help me beat her to death!”

The white snake circled Lady Dayangtian ferociously. He turned into his half-human form and started chanting words on his lips, while gesturing quickly with his hands.*

Hearing the little monk’s shout, Xunzhe’s eyes are clouded with mist, and his hand movements are getting faster and faster.

Lady Dayangtian struggled hard, her head turned into that of a  fox and bit the white snake fiercely.

The scales of the snake were bitten off, and Xunzhe groaned in pain.

Seeing this, Chu Shici dashed into the room and summoned the little Buddha light.

He held up the still bright Buddha light, hopped on the spot a few times, then threw it into the fox’s big mouth like shooting a basketball.

Buddha Light did not cause much damage to Lady Dayangtian, but it did make her pause for a second.

Xunzhe seized this second and tapped her forehead with two fingers.

Lady Dayangtian screamed and struggled uncontrollably.

The white snake wound around her tighter and tighter, and Xunzhe tapped several of her acupuncture points, and then he showed his teeth and bit down.

The snake venom quickly spread throughout her body, and Lady Dayangtian wailed in pain, her size quickly shrank, until she finally turned back into a golden statue.

Xunzhe let go of the snake’s tail and looked down at the statue on the ground.

Chu Shici held his head and ran over, “Is she dead? Is she dead?”

Xunzhe’s expression is still very lacking, “I should have beaten her back to her original shape, but she only turned into a statue. I have never seen this kind of situation. She should not be dead, just seriously injured.”

After speaking, he covered his chest, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, it seems like he is seriously injured.

Xunzhe calmed down, took a deep breath, turn around and pick up the little monk.

The two look at each other for a long time. Chu Shici looks at him worriedly and gestures to him, “Ge, are you okay? I…”

As soon as he let go, his head fell down again and rolled back and forth in Xunzhe’s hand.

The scene in front of him changed rapidly, and Chu Shici saw Xunzhe purse his lips tightly, and the tears that had been swirling in his eyes suddenly fell down.

At the same time, a prompt sound came from the system background.

[The vitality value is reduced by 1, and the current vitality value is 7 points.]

[Vitality value is reduced by 1.]

[Vitality value is reduced by 1.]

Chu Shici:…

“Ge, calm down, I can still be saved. Don’t cry yet, help me put my head on it. I’m going to vomit from rolling around!”
