Although it is early March, Lin Luodong, standing in the square, feels that his mouth is dry. In just a few seconds, he feels as if he had been confronted with the snake for several years. Holding the stick, his hands cannot help shaking.
Rong Donglin and Yan Feng are older than Luodong, but they are just ordinary college students, and they are atheists with scientific world view. It is the first time that they have seen such an unnatural snake that grows bigger and bigger in the wind. They are terrified and confused — is it the monster in American movies or a monster in the legend of Huaxia?
Compared with the extremely excited news presenter, only the three boys, who have no way out in front of the snake, feel helpless and frightened. The snake seems to be teasing them — it shakes its tail and twists its body but doesn’t actually hurt them.
RTV II has many local audiences. Plus, it is not hearsay but real picture from the scene. It even sparks
Zeng Tian comes shortly after Huang Weijian. Unlike Mr. Lin, who can control iron thorns, Zeng Tian’s weapon is a soft sword, which is made by the Wen family in Zu Mountain. When he uses it, he can just pull it out of the belt. It is a handy weapon even for the most powerful cultivators, let alone Zeng Tian.Zeng knows that he should keep a low profile, so he tears a piece of shirt and puts it on his face, which makes him look funny:“Get out!”He pushes the three boys away. Only Rong Donglin recognizes that the man’s figure and accent are very similar to those of Zeng, the young master of the bar in which he was bullied. Then Rong Donglin runs out of the square with Lin Luodong and Yan Feng. They know that the target of the snake is Lin Luodong, and they have seen a policeman’s head being bitten off. Not daring to get others in trouble, they run to an empty space.Zeng Tian points the sword to the ground and jumps to the side of t
Lin Luoran is looking down on the plane when her mother desperately calls her on the phone.The plane gradually slows down to land, and the appearance of the snake monster on the square is terrifying. But in just ten minutes, she turns her phone on after she got off the plane.As soon as she lands, Lin receives a lot of messages reminding her that there are a lot of missed calls, all of which were from her mother. Lin Luoran gets a bit nervous: Is there something wrong with the family?As she prepares to call back, the passengers who get off the plane gather together in twos and threes, pointing at the huge electronic signboard at the airport. “Sweetie, is this Tianfu Square? Are they shooting a movie here?”“Shooting a movie? I don’t think so!”“That is the news presenter at RTV II. Are they not shooting a movie, but hosting a live programme?”“Nonsense.’’……Lin Lu
Years after, 3 November 2011 is called “the Day of Revealing Divine”.In the meantime, Tianfu Square in the R City has become a place for pilgrimage for numerous young people to seek immortality and learn from the masters.At this particular time and space, the original scientific world is torn apart mysteriously, more and more supernatural beings become known to the world. Therefore, the declined world of cultivation bursts blinding light in the 21st century.......Xin Yuanping stares at the sky while the smile disappeared from her face.With his neck squeezed, Huang Weijian is suffocated with his veins pumping out on his face. The hand around his neck looses a little, and he can finally breathe heavily. Confusion, anticipation, incredulity and relief are convoluted together. All look up to the sky.In the looming clouds in the sapphire sky is a smooth flying sword and a divine-like woman
At this moment, Lin Luoran has no mood to care about the bystanders. She must focus on the giant snake on the square.Have the red snake reborn, or is this the posthumous child of it?Lin Luoran worries more about the second possibility. Snakes are semi-oviparous animals, but they are not hermaphroditic. If this is the posthumous child of the red snake, there may be a chance that a male snake still lives somewhere and it may come out and hurt people someday. In order to make sure the possibility, Lin Luoran covers the giant snake with Reiki and plans to take it home to make research on it. The giant snake shrinks into its normal size. Goldie spreads its wings and Lin Luoran jumps onto its back. She can feel the unstable fluctuation of vital energy and blood inside Goldie. Something unexpected has happened to Goldie. Lin decides to check on its condition after they get back home. The courageous news pre
Poisons and their antidotes usually accompany each other.The ancients said that there must be an antidote wherever a poisonous snake lives. Though this is certainly an exaggeration, it is true to an extent. Nevertheless, the antidote Lin Luoran makes this time origins from the blood of the poisonous snake. The red snake is highly toxic. Unlike the other poisonous snakes which only have a poison gland, this one is poisonous in its saliva, blood, and skin. Lin Luoran has a thought that why the snake itself is unharmed by the poison.Clearly, the snake has an antidote in its body. After Lin burns the snake and purifies it, she gets some golden dust. The golden dust, which can’t even be destroyed by the Strange Fire, hides in the snake’s blood. Lin Luoran runs a test of it on the snake poison she preserves and finds it effective. Under the principle of wasting nothing, she takes half of the golden dust and adds some s
Li Anping looks at the doorplate of the house. This is the address which is written on the envelope. Li knocks at the door. A young boy opens the door. He asks alarmedly,“How can I help you?”Li Anping fakes a gentle smile and says, “Hi there, can you give this letter to the adults of your family?”Lin Luodong can’t help rolling his eyes. The man in front of him has dark circles under his eyes and he is fat. He looks even older than Lin’s father. Luodong holds back his desire to call this man “uncle” and takes the envelope. There is only the address without the name of the recipient, on the envelope. This man doesn’t even look like a postman or a delivery guy. Lin Luodong is smart. He never lets others into the house easily. He asks the man whether he has other requirements or not. After Li Anping says no, Luodong closes the door. Li Anping notices the elegant wooden building and the well-decorated y
It only takes two hours to get to Yueyang from Changsha by train. It’s drizzling today. There is mist over the lake. Though it’s the 21st century, old-style fishing boats are floating on the lake. Lin Luoran and Rong Donglin stand on the bank of Dongting Lake. Gentle wind is blowing. Their clothes are wet even though they are holding an umbrella. The lake waves. Dongting Lake has become much smaller than before and the water is not as clear as it used to be. Granted that there are dragons living in the lake, Lin doesn’t know how they could survive the pollution. Lin Luoran hasn’t seen any dragon. The fishing boats have anchored and the fishermen are sorting out the fish they have caught today. The closed fishing season is coming. The fishermen have to work for a long time recently. They catch the fish and bring them to the bank. Their wives and old peoples are responsible for sorting the fish out. It’s not the b
Lin Luoran asks the fisherman about the whereabouts of the Dragon Palace as if she is joking, which confuses Rong Donglin. However, the fisherman butts the cigarette and smiles hard till his eyes become a seam.“What a visionary girl you are... Only I can take you to this place. Well, the price...” His coldness shrinks away and his eyes squeeze so hard that it leaves only a slit. Rong Donglin finds his smile obscene yet Lin Luoran’s eyes light up instantly.They have only the records on the bamboo sheets which says that countless treasure will be found in the Dragon Palace under Dongting Lake. Yet the Dongting Lake covers too vast an area, making it difficult to find the palace.Although Xin Yuanping said about working together, Lin Luoran already learned not to be led by other people. Even if Xin Yuanping can bring her to the palace, she still needs a plan B.As a hindsight, Lin Luoran don’t even know what prompted h
