Chapter 142 Confirming the Breath
After Shang Xingjian finished speaking, the surroundings were silent for a moment. Cheng Mai was just thinking about where someone would come from when he heard a rustling sound.
Something crawled out of the corner of the cave.
Xiao Qian immediately picked up his magic weapon and looked around him warily.
"We have never done anything wrong, so why should God be so hard on us?" The first person to come out was an old woman with a snake-headed cane.
The old lady has silver hair, triangular snake eyes with green light, and wrinkles on her face showing traces of time.
Cheng Mai looked at the old lady up and down, vaguely having the illusion that she knew this person.
But this illusion only lasts for a moment.
"This is an urban area, and humans have been thriving for a long time. Moreover, you are not warm-blooded animals, and this place is not the best habitat for you. Why do you have to stay here?" Cheng Mai had seen this cave, and it was obviously formed in the later period.
But there are many mountains in City A, and even the Taoist priest knows how to hide in the mountains. This group of snakes who have become spirits should not know where is suitable for them.
The old lady looked at Cheng Mai with her hanging snake eyes, seeming to be observing her.
Cheng Mai was not afraid and looked at the old lady as well.
The old lady laughed and said, "This is our habitat. They later built houses and buildings here."
Cheng Mai looked at Shang Xingjian.
City A has been a fortress since ancient times and has been inhabited for a long time. Could it be that this snake demon is already very old?
"You said this is your habitat?" Cheng Mai asked back.
The old lady walked towards Shang's business slips with a snake-head crutch, "The Lord of Gods is revisiting his old place. When Mrs. Shang saved me from danger, I swore an oath that I would not leave until I repay this kindness." Mrs. Shang?
Shang Xingjian’s wife in the world back then?
"Where is he? How did you hide his information?" Shangxing Jian lowered his eyes and looked at the old lady, "You have been hiding for so many years because of him?"
The old lady looked confused, but still pretended to be confused, "What is the Lord Shen talking about?"
"That person just now is Xuanji." Shang Xingjian looked around. The damp breath always made people uncomfortable. He raised his hand to evaporate the water vapor inside. There were small snakes around him that made a hissing sound. They preferred Moisture.
The old lady was instantly shocked by the mystery, the legendary mystery that could end the world's affairs.
The old lady seemed a little excited and looked at Shang Jian with widened eyes.
"I'm just asking you, where is his soul?" Shang Xingjian asked again.
The old lady couldn't stand Shang Xingjian's questioning look. She stepped back a little, sat cross-legged and closed her eyes, "I was saved by Mrs. Shang. Before Mrs. Shang appeared, I would never hand over my little master. The Lord Shen killed his wife and child regardless of the relationship between the couple. Who knows whether the Lord Shen will do it again this time.”
Shang Xingjian's hands behind his back suddenly tightened, and his expression did not change at all.
"If he doesn't kill his wife and son, how can you stand here?" Cheng Mai grabbed Shang Xingjian's wrist, pulled him behind him, and looked down at the meditating old lady, "Don't stand here when you are being favored by others. Condemn your benefactor from a moral high ground that does not belong to you.”
"No one in this world has the right to condemn him except the merchant lady and the unborn child you mentioned."
The old lady looked up disdainfully at Cheng Mai, who was scolding her, "Another stupid woman, the charm of God is still the same as before."
"Since you are so ignorant, Xiaoqian, please smash this hole in her."
"You dare." The old lady stood up suddenly, her body suddenly grew larger, her upper body turned into a snake, and she attacked Cheng Mai fiercely.
