During the period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a small mountain village on the border of Guandong. During the Waking of Insects, a pregnant woman in the village gave birth. It wouldn't matter if it was an ordinary birth, but the strange things that happened when this person was giving birth were so frightening to think about.
At that time, hundreds of big snakes suddenly appeared in the village. They rushed straight to the pregnant woman's home and surrounded her door. The pregnant woman was so frightened by this scene that she immediately collapsed from blood. Fortunately, these snakes had no intention of harming anyone, and the family finally invited Wen Po . Unfortunately, when they arrived, the pregnant woman was already dying and her blood was almost drained. Fortunately, the child was fine in the end, and the pregnant woman gave birth to a daughter before she died.
The snakes in the courtyard all left after seeing the child coming into the world. Later, the old man in the village said that the child must be the reincarnation of the snake fairy, otherwise it must be related to the snake fairy. Those snakes must be sent by the snake fairy to protect her safe birth. The girl's father also believed this statement very much. In order to show his fate with the Snake Fairy, he named his daughter "Liu" because the Snake Fairy was also known as "Liu Xian" in the local area. Her father's surname was Yuan and the girl's name was Yuan Liu.
However, except for the strange birth, there is nothing special in other aspects. There have been no strange things happening in the family over the years, so that everyone gradually forgot about Yuan Liu's specialness.
Yuan Liu had a childhood sweetheart named Zhao Zijing. His grandmother was a horse fairy from a neighboring village. Coincidentally, the Zhao family's Baojiaxian was the snake fairy. After learning about Yuan Liu's deeds, Grandma Zhao made a special trip to visit her. She also wanted to see if she was destined to have a connection with the child and accept him as a disciple. It's a pity that after checking for a long time, Grandma Zhao didn't find anything special about Yuan Liu, so she gave up the idea.
However, Grandma Zhao was very good to Yuan Liu and always treated her as her granddaughter, and also intended for her to marry Zhao Zijing. Seeing that the two children were getting older, the marriage could not be postponed, but there were unforeseen circumstances, and Grandma Zhao suddenly encountered an accident.
It was late autumn, and Grandma Zhao went to the town to perform an exorcism on a family, but she didn't come home all night. The neighbors were very worried, so they went out to search with Zhao Zijing, and found Grandma Zhao's body in a river mouth at the entrance of the village. The strange thing is that Grandma Zhao's body was full of wounds, and they were all bitten by snakes. She was not poisoned, but was bitten to death by the snakes.
The family worshiped Liu Xian, but was killed by a group of snakes. This fact is too strange. However, in the current situation, it is better to take care of the funeral arrangements for Grandma Zhao first. After her death, her grandson Zhao Zijing became the new disciple, but this was obviously not a good job, and there seemed to be something wrong with the snake fairy enshrined by the Zhao family.
Yuan Liu heard from the villagers that since the death of Grandma Zhao, the snake fairy of the Zhao family has often taken possession of Zhao Zijing and used his body to cause trouble, molesting young girls at every turn, provoking other nobles, and killing many living beings.
After hearing this, Yuan Liu was very worried about Zhao Zijing's situation, so he prepared to visit him. But before she could go out, Zhao Zijing came to the door himself. He looked much haggard, his face was sallow, and his whole body had lost weight. He forced a smile and said, "It's your birthday in a few days. I'm here to give you a gift!" After saying this, Zhao Zijing took out a sachet from his arms. The workmanship of the sachet was not surprising, and it looked like it was made by Zhao Zijing himself. Yuan Liu was very surprised and quickly reached out to accept the gift. She also wanted to ask about Zhao Zijing's current situation, but he waved his hand, turned and left. Yuan Liu didn't know at that time that after this meeting, the two of them would be separated forever.
Although the sachet that Zhao Zijing gave to Yuan Liu was not finely made, it exuded a light fragrance, which made people feel relaxed and happy. That night, Yuan Liu hung the sachet on the bedside and fell asleep. But not long after she fell asleep, she had a strange dream.
In her dream, she smelled a strange fragrance, mixed with a fishy smell. She slowly opened her eyes, only to see small snakes with smooth bodies crawling into her bed and crawling onto her limbs.
Yuan Liu was confused. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality. When he wanted to move, he found that his limbs were as heavy as lead. At this moment, a call suddenly sounded in his ears: "Yuan Liu, Yuan Liu..."
The voice was intermittent, but very clear, and sounded familiar. Yuan Liu was feeling dizzy at the time, but he subconsciously agreed. But as soon as he opened his mouth, Yuan Liu regretted it. She has heard Grandma Zhao say since she was a child that once she hears someone calling her name in the middle of the night, she must not agree. If it is something dirty, her soul will be taken away, and she will be in trouble.
Yuan Liu was horrified, wondering what would happen. At this moment, she seemed to see a person standing beside her bed, moving furtively. Yuan Liu's scalp was numb and she thought a thief had entered the house, but when the man walked up to her, she was stunned.
The person who came was not a thief at all, but Zhao Zijing, who gave her the sachet. Yuan Liu didn't know why he came to his room in the middle of the night. He wanted to ask, but his throat felt dry and he couldn't say anything. Looking at Zhao Zijing again, he smiled evilly, and then leaned down, eyes wide open, looking straight at her. That look was not Zhao Zijing at all, but a complete stranger. Yuan Liu was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Zijing climbed onto Yuan Liu's bed in an extremely strange posture. Only then did she realize that Zhao Zijing's body had undergone tremendous changes at this moment. He turned into a big snake, twisting his body and slowly wrapping around her waist. Immediately, Zhao Zijing opened his mouth, and Yuan Liu could clearly see that two extremely long fangs grew out of his mouth. Before she could react, Zhao Zijing bit his chest hard.
Accompanied by a burst of yelling, Yuan Liu woke up from her dream. She looked down and saw that there was no wound on her chest. Fortunately, the entire quilt was soaked with cold sweat. Strangely, there was also a fishy smell, as if a snake had really come.
Thinking of the situation in the dream, Yuan Liu felt heart palpitations . He originally wanted to tell his father about it, but as soon as he went out, his father would tell her with a lonely face that Zhao Zijing was dead.
Yuan Liu was shocked after hearing this. The father and daughter rushed to his residence and happened to see the neighbors carrying his body into the yard. Everyone told Yuan Liu that Zhao Zijing might have done too many bad things recently and suffered retribution. He died miserably. His whole body was covered in blood and flesh, as if he had been bitten by a wild beast. Next to him, there was a python as thick as a human thigh. His skin was skinned cramped , and his death was also very miserable. Some people speculate that the big snake is actually the snake immortal worshiped by the Zhao family. It should have done too many bad things and was jointly punished by other immortals.
But this was just a guess, and Yuan Liu looked at Zhao Zijing's body and suddenly remembered the sachet he gave to him. He had just given it to him one day before, and he died the next day. There must be a secret in that sachet.
Sure enough, when Yuan Liu opened the sachet, three pieces of snake scales fell out from inside. Looking at the three snake scales, Yuan Liu felt his scalp numb, but Zhao Zijing had grown up with him and there was no reason to harm him. Her guess was correct. The next night, she once again dreamed of Zhao Zijing, who turned into half man and half snake.
He looked lonely and kept twisting in front of him, as if he wanted to express something, but couldn't. Yuan Liu was also a little anxious, but she found that she could not communicate with him in her dream. In the next few days, she would dream about Zhao Zijing. At the same time, strange things began to happen one after another in the village. The chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep in the village were bitten to death one after another, and all their blood was sucked out.
Yuan Liu always felt something was wrong, so he told his father about the situation in the dream.The father was also shocked. In order to find out the truth, he immediately asked someone to go outside the village and invite a Taoist for help. After the Taoist priest learned the ins and outs of the matter, he asked Yuan Liu to hand over the three snake scales, grind them into powder, mix them in water and let Yuan Liu drink them.
Yuan Liu looked at the Taoist priest in confusion, and the Taoist priest explained: "The person who gave you the dream is obviously not a person. The snake fairy is obviously wronged, and you are destined to it, so it will ask you for help. It's just that your spiritual wisdom has not yet been opened and you don't understand the meaning."
That night, Yuan Liu drank water mixed with snake scale powder and dreamed of Zhao Zijing again. This time, they were finally able to communicate with each other, and Zhao Zijing's body spread out, becoming one person and one snake. From their mouths, Yuan Liu learned the truth of the matter.
It turns out that the snake fairy worshiped by the Zhao family is not a simple one, but a two-headed snake. Although the two-headed snakes share the same body, their thoughts and personalities are very different. One of the heads was bloodthirsty. It competed with the other head for the ownership of the body, but lost by one move and fell asleep for many years. As a result, it woke up not long ago, defeated another head, took over the dominance, and condensed a new body not long ago, thus killing Zhao Zijing and the real snake fairy worshiped by his family.
The Snake Immortal had already sensed the danger before this. In order to clear himself of his grievances and bear the infamy of the evil snake, he would leave three snake scales and leave a ray of consciousness of himself and Zhao Zijing in them, just to tell the truth.
After Yuan Liu learned everything, he told the Taoist priest about it. The Taoist priest nodded and told the villagers that the evil snake was responsible for the deaths of livestock in the village these days. Afterwards, the Taoist priests united with others, purchased a large amount of realgar, and went into the mountains with them to hunt for evil snakes.
After several days of hard work, everyone finally found the sleeping evil snake in a cave. The Taoist priest also took this opportunity to kill it in one fell swoop. After this incident, Yuan Liu never dreamed of Zhao Zijing again, and strange things no longer happened in the village.
