Riding the Pheonix Chapter 31: White Snake

"Miss, the bed has been made, and my servant will help you rest?" Duofu asked.

Mingwei said to her: "You go to bed first, I will do it myself."

Duofu nodded in agreement and retreated.

She seemed to be the only one in the empty room.

In fact...

Mingwei looked at Miss Mingqi in the corner of the bed.

"Sorry for robbing your mother." She said.

Hearing the voice, Canhun raised his head blankly, but couldn't understand what she meant.

Mingwei was startled and smiled self-deprecatingly: "What am I apologizing for? Since I think this is the best result, why bother showing off? After pretending to be a decent person for more than ten years, I really think I am a decent person. ?"

She turned around and opened the window, and the moonlight shone in, spreading the soft color of water on the ground.

"Still not coming out?" she said coldly.

No one responded.

Mingwei sneered: "I don't have a good temper. If you don't come out on your own, but let me find out, the outcome will not be good."

After a while, a thin stream of smoke escaped from her sleeve and turned into a thin rope-like object in the moonlight. The raised crown clearly looked like a snake.

"You, you are so fierce..."

The thin and weak voice was like that of a young child, accusing with grievance: "Obviously it was you who killed me, yet you are so cruel..."

Ming Wei clasped his hands in his sleeves and looked at it coldly: "If you kill someone, you must pay for your life. Haven't you heard this sentence?"

"I, I didn't mean it..." The small voice became even more aggrieved, "She put the soup underneath, and the heat made me uncomfortable..."

"No matter what the reason, people die because of you. Killing for food is the reincarnation of heaven, otherwise it is killing. If he dies, you return his life, it is only natural and right."

"This, this..."

"If you don't die and carry this sinful karma, even if you are born spiritually, you will not be able to escape the destiny. Just imagine that one day your merits will be perfect, but you will not be able to get rid of the demon body because of your sinful karma. If you return it then, you will not be able to escape. So easy."

The thin voice was full of confusion: "Why is it not easy? I had great magic power at that time, wouldn't it be better to repay it?"

Ming smiled and said: "Do you still remember one of your seniors? Like you, she is also a white snake. She has been practicing in Qingcheng Mountain for 1,700 years..."

"I know!" it said proudly, "She is the role model of our White Snake clan!"

Mingwei continued: "Because of a cause and effect in her early years, she had already perfected her merits, but she had to enter the world of mortals to repay her kindness. As you must know, she was almost doomed."

"Well..."

Mingwei is persuasive: "Think about it, is it better to pay back your life now and do it neatly, or is it better to take the risk of falling short in the future and pay it back later?"

After some thought, the little white snake said: "So, you helped me?"

"So to speak."

"But," its voice was full of confusion, "I don't have a physical body now. Although I have repaid the cause and effect, I have to reincarnate again. Isn't it all in vain? I don't know whether I can cultivate spirituality in the next life... ”

"Who said you must have a physical body to continue practicing?" Mingwei continued to teach it, "The only difference between a demon and a spirit is whether there is a physical body. The spirit is attached to things, and the demon is attached to flesh. Without the physical body, you are now It’s the same as the spirit.”

"This..." it thought for a long time and felt that it made sense, "You mean, I can practice myself as a spirit without having to reincarnate again?"

Ming Wei smiled enigmatically: "You said it yourself, you don't know whether you can cultivate spirituality in the next life. If you are reborn as a mayfly and die day and night, there will be no hope at all. Reincarnation is risky. , be careful when reincarnating."

Little White Snake is in a dilemma: "However, spiritual cultivation is so slow. In a hundred years, they can only cultivate a weak consciousness."

Mingwei said: "Cultivation as a spirit alone is of course slow. However, there is a method that can greatly speed up the cultivation of a spirit, even faster than that of a demon."

"What is the solution?"

"The reason why spiritual cultivation is slow is because it has no physical body and cannot gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If someone feeds the spiritual energy back, this problem will be solved."

"Ah!" Little White Snake suddenly remembered, "You mean, forming a contract with others? I seem to have heard that there is a kind of people in this world called Xuanshi. They practice like demon spirits and use magic power to maintain The order of the world. If there are demons and ghosts causing trouble, they will come out to put it down. Are you, are you a Xuanshi?"

The voice was timid, with natural awe.

"To be precise," Mingwei paused, "I am a fortune teller."

"Fortune teller? Is it a fortune teller?"

"That's called fortune teller." Mingwei explained to it, "Form master is an honorific title, and only one person in the world can use it. So there is a saying that the number one fortune teller in the world is the fortune teller. ."

Little White Snake thought hard for a while: "You mean, the fortune teller is the most powerful magician?"

"Yes." Mingwei smiled kindly.

"You are so powerful..."

Mingwei didn't answer, just asked: "Then do you want to form a contract with me? Now I'm in a little trouble. The spirit I originally formed the contract with is no longer there. Although you are a little weaker, you are still useful."

"Can I?" Little White Snake was flattered.

It heard that only very powerful demon spirits can form contracts with people.

"If my original body is still there, of course it won't work. However, I am in trouble now, and I can only lower my requirements if I don't take advantage of it for a while."

"Yeah." Little White Snake felt that she had gotten a big deal. ~IndoMTL.com~ It lost its physical body, but there was actually a mysterious person who was willing to form a contract with it. It's just a little snake that has recently cultivated spirituality. A person with martial arts can take care of it.

"What should I do?" The thin voice revealed desire.

Mingwei picked up the scissors from the sewing basket, lightly scratched her fingers to squeeze out the blood beads.

"Eat my flesh and blood, live with me, obey my orders, and feed you back."

The shadow of the little white snake turned into smoke again, gathering on her fingertips.

The blood was slowly sucked dry, and the originally thin smoke gradually became solid. When it transformed again, the shape of its original body could already be seen.

"Sir." The snake lowered its head, "Please give me your orders."

"You are too weak now, so just stay at home for the time being." Mingwei put his hands back into his sleeves again and looked out the window, "The essence of the sun and the moon are not to be missed. You must first cultivate your body."

"Yes."

"Have you seen that tree by the lake? There is a vicious spirit there, don't provoke it. In other places, you can come and go as you like."

"Yes."

"I'm going to rest, you go."

"As commanded."

It turned into smoke again, escaped out of the window, quickly transformed into a snake shape, disappeared into the grass.

It’s really hard to change your nature.

Ming smiled and said to himself: "Country snakes are so easy to trick."

How can spirits willing to form a contract be so common? Even Xuanshi, not everyone has it.

Speaking of which, what happened to Mr. Jiang? He is clearly not a Xuanshi, so why does he have a spirit accompanying him?

"There are so many secrets in this world..."

Mingwei pulled off the golden hairpin on his head and twisted the layered hairpin, revealing its inner structure.

But she did nothing. She pressed the hairpin back, closed the window, and prepared to rest.
