Recap
When they were less than a kilometer away from the Buddha Light, a thought flashed in Chu Shici’s mind.
Are they relying on the Buddha Light to seize the stone carving spirit?
Or is the stone carving spirit using Buddha Light to lure them into taking the bait?
This idea was quickly rejected by Chu Shici.
He never said anything about it, and even Xunzhe didn’t know about it.
The stone carving spirit gave the Monkey King information of her own volition. She must have known that they would come today, but she cannot have known that Chu Shici can sense the Buddha Light.
This time the initiative is in their hands!
___
When the distance was reduced to less than a hundred meters, Chu Shici faintly saw a blurry shadow moving rapidly.
In front of the shadow, there is a snow-white rabbit leading the way.
The color of its fur is exactly the same as the color of Xunzhe’s scales, and it looks like it was carved from the same stone.
Rabbit holes extend in all directions, like a maze.
Seeing the snake yao chasing after him, the little rabbit suddenly turned his head and called behind him.
As if hearing some kind of instruction, the passage began to narrow little by little. Mud kept sliding down from above and hitting the white snake.
Chu Shici was a little nervous, “Zhe-ge, does it want to bury you alive?”
With the small wooden sculpture in its mouth, the white snake couldn’t say anything. He snorted coldly, his voice full of ridicule and disdain.
In the next second, the white snake’s body quickly grew longer, and almost instantly, the snake’s head reached the shadow.
He spit out the wooden sculpture, opened his mouth and took a bite on the shadow.
The lower half of the soul was completely bitten into pieces, and the shadow let out a painful cry.
Seeing the stone carving spirit being attacked, the rabbit spirit turned around and bit the white snake.
Suddenly falling from the snake’s mouth, Chu Shici was ready to fall to the ground and roll around a few more times.
But Xunzhe was more careful than he thought. As soon as he hugged his head, the tail caught him firmly.
Chu Shici was stunned for a moment, then quickly grabbed a piece of snake scale and rode on the white snake.
The white snake chased the phantom and bit it, one bite after another, biting the phantom until it kept moaning in pain.
The rabbit spirit was frantically harassing him, trying to save the shadow. It kept making threatening cries from its mouth. The snake yao was annoyed and turned its head slightly to look at it.
The golden snake eyes flashed with cold light, and the strong killing intent made people breathless. They were obviously both thousand-year-old yaos. Yet, the moment their eyes collided, the rabbit spirit felt that the blood in his body stopped flowing.
Its body trembled violently several times, kicked its legs, and flopped onto the ground, laying absolutely still.
Chu Shici, who was riding on the snake, was stunned.
He looked at the ghost monk Pu Xin who had just caught up, and pointed at the rabbit spirit, “Master, help me take a look at it.”
Pu Xin drifted towards it, the little white rabbit’s limbs had become stiff, and its nose stopped twitching. He looked at it for a while, then clasped his hands together and said, “Amitabha.”
“Dead?”
“Breathing and heartbeat have stopped.”
“…”
Although he knew that rabbits can be scared to death, he didn’t expect that the thousand-year-old rabbit spirit would also be scared to death.
Chu Shici gestured to Monk Pu Xin to come closer, letting him get into the wall and observe the rabbit secretly.
Without the rabbit spirit to lead the way, the stone sculpture spirit could not find a quick escape route.
The shadow that was originally the size of a human was torn into a small ball. She ran slower and slower, and finally, like a gecko with its tail cut off, she gave up a large part of her body to delay the snake yao.
Only a palm-sized shadow was left, running wildly in the passage.
When Xunzhe chased after her, he only saw densely packed dark cave passages, and he didn’t know which way the stone carving spirit had gone.
The snake knight jumped off the white snake, ran to the entrance of the passage and felt it for a moment, then shook his head regretfully, “It has run out of the range of perception.”
The passageway was too narrow, and Xunzhe could only maintain his snake form.
The white snake slithered to the small wooden sculpture, its head gently lowered, and he wanted to give him a snake kiss.
Chu Shici hugged the White Snake and kissed him, “Okay, Zhe-ge, do you still remember the way back?”
The White Snake said, “I left traces where I slithered, we can just follow it back.”
After he finished speaking, he coiled around the small wooden sculpture and rubbed it affectionately.
Chu Shici found that Zhe Ge became much more thick-skinned after turning into a snake due to his lack of expression on his snake face.
He was about to kiss the white snake when Monk Pu Xin suddenly shouted from the passage behind him, “The rabbit is pretending to be dead, it’s getting away!”
Xunzhe reacted quickly, grabbed the small wooden sculpture in his mouth, and flew away like lightning.
When Chu Shici came closer, he saw that the rabbit was about to dig up the soil and slip out. The old monk pulled its tail with all his strength.
After the White Snake came over, the Rabbit Spirit became completely honest.
Chu Shici climbed onto the white snake’s head and sat down, folding his arms and looking at it, “Are you also the little animal on the white marble mural?”
Just as Rabbit was about to answer, he raised his head and met the snake yao’s sinister eyes. It screamed in fear, stiffened up, and fell to the ground with a thud.
Chu Shici: …
He jumped onto the lotus and looked carefully into Xunzhe’s eyes.
There is a warm light in the golden pupils, like the warm sunshine in the afternoon, making people subconsciously want to get close.
Chu Shici looked at it for a few seconds, only to feel that his heartbeat became extremely fast.
This is a very charming snake. Zhe-ge is so beautiful. This rabbit spirit must be pretending to be dead.
The rabbit woke up again. When he opened his eyes, he found that the snake was still staring at him. He kicked his legs and was about to faint again.
Chu Shici quickly jumped down and pressed its nose, “Hold on little rabbit, if you faint again my brother will eat you.”
The white snake cooperated and opened its huge mouth.
Seeing that the rabbit spirit calmed down, Chu Shici narrowed his eyes and said, “From now on, you will answer whatever I ask. If the answer dissatisfies me, I will make you into a spicy rabbit head stew when we get out.”
The little white rabbit shook off the afterimage. It opened its mouth and said in a trembling female voice, “Ask, ask me, I will definitely tell you everything I know. If I don’t know, I will work hard to make up for it! I will definitely satisfy you!”
Upon hearing its words, Chu Shici sighed.
It’s over, this is another one who can’t stand torture.
Most likely, like the Monkey King who only has eyes for money, it won’t be able to provide much information.
___
The rabbit spirit worked very hard, and the way it answered questions reminded Chu Shici of himself when he was a student.
There are only a few questions on the math paper. In order to let the invigilator see traces of his struggle, he’ll explain his solution before each big question.
The little rabbit really didn’t know anything much.
It doesn’t know what the stone carving spirit’s plan is, nor what it has done in private. Until now, it thought the stone carving spirit was called Lady Dayangtian.
The reason why the stone carving spirit attaches great importance to it is because it is the best burrowing rabbit spirit among all the rabbit spirits.
It has been cultivating for thousands of years, and all its skill points are added to burrowing.
From its mouth, Chu Shici asked about the stone carving spirit’s headquarters and all its strongholds.
The stone carving spirit will definitely move her men when she returns, but the rabbit spirit pats its chest under the threat of the snake yao and promises that no one is better at finding people than it is.
It is a rabbit, not a fool. It knows that the stone carving spirit is hiding something from it, and might kill it after taking advantage of it.
So the Rabbit Spirit privately figured out the Stone Carving Spirit’s movement and took note of all the places she might go. If the stone carving spirit decides to kill it, it will use this to threaten her.
After hearing this, Chu Shici couldn’t help but ask, “Then why do you want to work for the stone carving spirit?”
Rabbit stamped her feet, her voice full of resentment, “She has a lot of people under her. She threatens me. If I don’t do it, she will kill me and make roast rabbit meat.”
“Do you know what her true form is?”
“I know, it’s the white marble sculpture I lived in before. She said she wouldn’t eat me, but I don’t believe her.”
“How much do you know about her plan?”
“I’m only responsible for digging. She won’t let me eavesdrop. I don’t know much. After all, I’m just a little white rabbit.”
Under the command of Chu Shici, the rabbit selected the nearest hole and led them out of the maze-like rabbit hole.
A small hole suddenly appeared in the green space of a community.
A little monk sits on top of the white snake, with a little white rabbit in his mouth emerging from it. The next second, the hole closed automatically, and everything returned to its original state.
Xunzhe returned to his human form and walked out of the community with the rabbit in his arms.
He originally planned to go directly to her nearest stronghold and find the stone carving spirit to settle the accounts.
However, when passing a phone booth, Chu Shici, who was lying on his shoulder, suddenly motioned for him to wait.
He took out a coin and said excitedly: “Zhe-ge, you can use the invisibility technique later, go in and call the police.”
Xunzhe hummed, with some doubts in his mind.
“Didn’t we find a lot of information at Dayangtian Ming Temple before? Some women who went in were controlled by the stone carving spirit. After returning, they would cut off all relations with their relatives and then give birth to children.”
Chu Shici took out a small note from his clothes and said, “I wrote down their names and home addresses. You call the police and tell the police about this and ask them to find a way to save them quickly.”
In this novel, yaoguais are not some distant legend. Since various religions can flourish everywhere legally, it means that the government knows that supernatural beings do exist.
After Pu Xin taught Xunzhe how to insert the coins to dial, everything that followed went very smoothly.
As Chu Shici expected, the police have people to deal with this kind of thing.
After also reporting the fact that Dataiyang society is a cult, in order to prevent any mistakes in the transmission of the information, to prevent any victims left behind. He asked Xunzhe to hide the small note in the corner of the phone booth and wait for the police to come and get it.
Xunzhe used rabbit holes to travel all the way here, and he didn’t see any place where he could make a phone call when he was under the ground. Chu Shici had been keeping this matter in his heart. Now that it was handled, he finally could relax.
Looking at the small wooden sculpture laying down in his palm, Xunzhe’s eyes flashed and he pursed his lips, “Do you also want merit?”
Chu Shici blinked in confusion, “I can’t cultivate. So, I can’t use the merits given to me.”
“Why do you care so much about these women?”
“Since I know the inside story and have the ability to help them, I can’t just watch them being tortured to death by the stone carving spirit.”
After Chu Shici finished speaking, he noticed that something was wrong with Zhe-ge.
He looked up and saw that the silver-haired man lowered his head slightly. His handsome face was still expressionless, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
The system who poked its head out to observe the lively situation, suddenly let out a soft ‘ah’, [The vitality value seems to be dropping.]
Chu Shici knew the reason for this, and he raised the corners of his mouth with a comforting smile.
“Zhe-ge, don’t think so wildly. I really don’t want to become a deity at all, and I won’t secretly earn merit behind your back. Don’t worry, I will always be by your side.”
Before he finished speaking, a system prompt sounded in the background.
[Add 2 points to the vitality value, and the current vitality value is 62.]
The golden eyes of the snake yao were once again filled with mist.
Even in his dreams, no one said such things to Xunzhe.
No one dares to communicate with him normally. He is not good at talking and doesn’t know how to express his emotions.
He wanted to give the little wooden sculpture a response, but he couldn’t say the simple words “I like you”.
Now that Xunzhe was in human form, his honest snake tail is not revealed, but Chu Shici could still see his uneasiness.
He jumped onto the lotus platform, flew over and rubbed the tip of Xunzhe’s nose, “It’s okay, Zhe-ge, it doesn’t matter even if you don’t say it. I know you have fallen in love with me.”
Xunzhe’s eyes moved slightly and he was about to say something. Chu Shici folded his arms and his eyes began to drift downward.
He raised his eyebrows: “What’s wrong with not being good at talking? You can express your passionate love with your body language. When I turn into my human form in the future, I will teach you all the different postures you can express your love in.”
Understanding the meaning of his words, Xunzhe’s cheeks instantly turned red.
He looked to the open space on the side with an expressionless face, yet his two long legs turned into a snake tail without any warning.
The system groaned, [Shouldn’t he cover his face when he blushes? Why does only his tail appear?]
‘If someone you like says something like this to you…ai~, no matter how innocent he looks, he is still an adult snake.’
[Fuck.]
___
When Chu Shici first guessed the stone carving spirit’s plan, he originally wanted Xunzhe to take advantage of it. Pretending to fall into evil ways, he can take the opportunity to join the stone carving spirit’s camp.
Then catch them all in one fell swoop.
After capturing the rabbit spirit, Chu Shici changed his plan.
Xunzhe is a very arrogant person. Although he can execute the plan perfectly, Chu Shici does not want Zhe-ge to suffer such injustice.
All creatures in the world will instinctively worship the strong. This is true for humans, and even more so for yaoguais.
The stone carving spirit carried the flag to rebellion, and those thousand-year-old yaoguais followed her as they had the same interests.
They have a bond formed by interests, hence there is no such thing as loyalty.
The powerful snake yao is obviously more suitable to be the leader than the stone carving spirit.
Chu Shici was thinking, if they could seize the power belonging to the stone carving spirit into their own hands…
To tear down the foundation that she spent hundreds of years building. She had exhausted all her schemes yet could only end up with a body full of sin. She can neither ascend nor become the ruler in the human world.
This may be harder for her to accept than death. Killing someone for the sake of vengeance is fulfilling.
Chu Shici expressed his thoughts.
The rabbit spirit, whose ears were held by the snake yao, heard that there was an opportunity to change sides, immediately trembled and said: “I, I will surrender right now. I’ll surrender, don’t hit me!”
Chu Shici touched its soft fur.
Very good, they already have a scout in their ranks. Successfully took the first step on the road to snatching the stone carving spirit’s property.
Xunzhe crawled quickly while frowning in thought, “I don’t want to rebel.”
Chu Shici was a little surprised, “Aren’t you also very dissatisfied with the arrangements of Heavenly Court?”
Xunzhe hummed, “But I have no intention of rebelling.”
“I don’t know much about them, but I have heard the names of Third Prince Nezha and True Lord Erlang*. I have never seen them, so I don’t know if they are my opponents. But even so, there are millions of heavenly soldiers in heaven, and the dragon kings of the four seas are always stationed in the human world.”
*(Erlang Shen is a Chinese god with a third truth-seeing eye in the middle of his forehead. For more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erlang_Shen )
Xunzhe raised his head and looked at the sky, “I don’t know how long it has been since the establishment of the Heavenly Palace. Its solid foundation cannot be shaken by a few yaoguais. Even if it succeeds in causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace, the Buddha will not sit by and watch idly.”
He spoke with a complex look: “Heaven is not a dynasty in danger, it is very prosperous. The gap in strength is so huge, this is not a rebellion, this is a suicide.”
Chu Shici was stunned, “Nezha and Erlang Shen really exist?”
Xunzhe nodded, “Of course.”
“Then Sun Wukong, who defeated the Buddha in a fight, is also alive?”
“Well, why do you ask? The Lingshan Monkey King said before that he admires him.”
Xunzhe is just crazy, not stupid. He has a very clear mind.
Chu Shici asked tentatively: “Is it possible that there is something wrong with Heavenly Court and its strength is not as good as before?”
Xunzhe sneered, as if he had heard a joke, “The King of Hell has been dissatisfied with Heaven for a long time. If something happens to Heaven, how can the underworld only take action behind its back?”
Chu Shici understood instantly.
If Heavenly Court was really that weak, the King of Hell would have led his underworld soldiers to march in, so there would be no need to plot with Dayangtian.
The stone carving spirit teamed up with the deity behind the scenes to trick the yaoguais into thinking that a rebellion was even mildy possible.
When the time comes to suppress the rebellious yaoguais, the stone carving spirit, the deity above her, and the king of hell will step on the corpses of the yaoguais and divide the merits among themselves.
Chu Shici suddenly felt that the yaoguais are also pitiful.
Don’t they know that rebelling will probably lead to death?
Rather than fall into the hands of the Yaoguai Slaying Alliance and be humiliated to death in turn. It is better to risk your life and die on the battlefield against tyranny.
Yaoguais also have their own dignity. Just like people, they would rather die standing than live crawling on their knees.
The sound of police sirens in the distance broke Chu Shici’s train of thought.
The policeman and several commissioners went into the phone booth, took out the note and checked for clues.
One of them whispered: “It was a yaoguai who called the police. I can smell the yaoguai’s energy. He is very powerful and has at least a thousand years of cultivation.”
Chu Shici looked at the few people, and a light suddenly flashed in his mind.
He waved: “Zhe-ge, what do you think of those rebellious yaoguais?”
Xunzhe’s slithering speed slowed down for a moment, then returned to normal.
“It’s tragic.”
After confirming that the snake yao was not hostile to the other yaoguais, Chu Shici’s eyes lit up.
“Zhe-ge, in fact, besides rebellion, we have a second way. I don’t know what the success rate is, but it is better than rebellion with no hope.”
“Perhaps we can rescue them from the stone carving spirit’s conspiracy, so that they can survive standing without having to fight.”
