Legend of the Sword Immortal

chapter10

After Master Baiyun finished speaking, he took out a long box from the wall. It was made of fine iron and was very sturdy. He also took out dozens of pills from the gourd. Then he opened the lid of the box, and saw a two-foot-four-inch long centipede lying inside, with red scales all over its body, and two eyeballs as big as tea bowls, shining green. Master Baiyun put the pill in the box, and the centipede suddenly squirmed, and the master hurriedly closed the lid of the box. The bearded Taoist said: "Such a spiritual creature must be more poisonous than a snake monster. I wonder how Master Canxia got it?" Master Baiyun said: "When Master Canxia was a virgin in her boudoir as a child, she was the most naughty. One day she caught a centipede, which was only three or two inches long. She put it in a box and fed it with some rice every day. As time went by, it gradually grew. When she got married, the centipede was almost five or six feet long, and she insisted on sending it off. Her old man was afraid that it would be shocking, so he insisted on not letting her go. She had no choice but to ask someone to carry the centipede to the mountain.

Master Baiyun said to the bearded Taoist, "This place is not far from the snake's nest. Let me lead it out. When I fight it, please use the Xuanying sword to cut off its way back." After saying that, he walked forward alone. The bearded Taoist and Zhou Chun climbed up the mountain and saw a big cave in the valley, which was so dark that the bottom could not be seen. Master Baiyun walked not far from the cave and cried a few times. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, and Master Baiyun turned around and walked back. It was said that it was late, and a black wind passed through the cave, and a big snake rushed out. It had golden scales and red eyes. It was about ten feet long, with a waist like a jar, and it walked like flying. After chasing for more than half a mile, Baiyun suddenly turned around and shouted, "Come on!" A purple light flew out of his hand. When the snake saw the light, it spit out a flame about ten feet long from its mouth, which was entangled with the light. After fighting for a while, the snake knew that it was no match for the enemy, so it turned around and walked away. The Taoist priest Ran released the Xuanying sword in his hand, and a green light flew towards the snake's head. The snake saw that it was not a road, so it coiled its body into a pile, sprayed out a fierce fire and poisonous mist, and fought with the two sword lights. No matter how powerful your immortal sword is, it can't hurt it at all. Master Baiyun and the Taoist priest Ran each occupied a mountain peak, commanded the sword light, and fought against the snake. After half a day, there was no winner. Baiyun had no choice but to say hello to the Taoist priest Ran, and everyone put away the sword light. The snake saw that the sword light suddenly retreated and thought that the enemy had been defeated. It was about to pounce on Master Baiyun. Suddenly, an object flew out of Master Baiyun's hand, and the whole body was dazzling red, illuminating the valley red. It turned out that Master Baiyun saw that the sword still couldn't win, so he had released the centipede in the box. As soon as the centipede came out of the box, it grew in the wind and was more than ten feet long. When the snake saw the centipede flying, it knew that it had met a strong enemy, and it didn't neglect it. It desperately sprayed fire and sprayed water to fight with the centipede. After a while, the centipede bit the snake's seven-inch body, and the snake bit the centipede's tail, neither of them willing to let go. The snake was bitten by the centipede and couldn't bear it. It kept sweeping its long tail over the rocks, hitting them like hail and scattering them. It was a spectacle. At this time, the three of them were already walking together. The Taoist with a beard wanted to put down the Xuanying sword to help the centipede. Master Baiyun was afraid of hurting the centipede, so he stopped immediately. While he was talking, there was a sudden earth-shaking sound, and both the snake and the centipede did not move at all. It turned out that the snake was bitten and couldn't bear the pain. It swept its tail over and broke the rock protruding from the valley mouth, which was about ten feet high. It happened to fall on its head, hitting its brain and bursting it. The centipede also died of exhaustion. Master Baiyun and the Taoist with a beard quickly flew down the mountain and chopped the snake's body into dozens of pieces with swords. Seeing that the centipede was dead, he said, "I was reluctant to release it at first, fearing that both sides would suffer. How can I reply to Master Canxia now?" The bearded Taoist said, "This monster harmed the area and poisoned all living things. Now it is thanks to Master Canxia's centipede that this huge harm has been eliminated. This is a great merit, and I think you can't blame me."

As they were talking, a black-clad girl suddenly flew down from the top of the mountain, with a gourd hanging from her waist. She walked up to the two of them and saluted, saying, "Disciple Zhou Qingyun, I am here on the orders of Master Canxia. Please don't worry about it, Master Baiyun. The centipede's death is inevitable. I am ordered to pay my respects to the master and bring its body back." After that, she walked to the centipede, took out a pill, put it in its mouth, and the centipede shrank to about seven or eight inches. She took it and put it in the gourd beside her. She said to Master Baiyun, "My master said that my father Zhou Chun is here. Please allow me to see him." Master Baiyun knew that she was Zhou Chun's daughter, and was very happy for her. He called Zhou Chun down. The father and daughter were naturally happy to meet again. Zhou Chun was about to ask Master Canxia for help. He was busy catching monsters at Master Baiyun's place just now, so he didn't say anything. Now that he saw his daughter coming, he asked her to ask for help. He told Qingyun about the multi-armed Xiong Maotai seeking revenge and going to Chengdu with him, and asked Qingyun to ask Master Canxia to come down the mountain. Qingyun said, "It's such a small matter, why bother Master? This is why I came here this time. Since I followed Master up the mountain, I have already refined the Immortal Sword. Because my father failed to learn swordsmanship, I repeatedly asked Master to teach me, but Master said that my father and her were not destined to be together. Master never accepted male disciples in her life. She said that when the opportunity comes, Daddy will naturally meet a famous teacher. She told Daddy to just go to Chengdu this time, and someone will come to guide you. After I return to the mountain to report, I will also go to Chengdu to help Daddy kill Mao Tai." Zhou Chun felt relieved when he heard this. Qingyun said goodbye to the three people and returned to the mountain to report without mentioning it.
