Liu Jin used to be a scholar who studied hard all day long, hoping that one day he could also be named on the gold list. However, his family was poor and failed many times. In desperation, Liu Jin had to abandon literature and go into business, running around all year round to make a living by reselling goods.

One day, Liu Jin passed through Chengji County and came to a depressed mountain forest. A river was faintly visible in front of him, meandering and flowing. Liu Jin was about to move forward, but suddenly a person appeared in the forest.

"Little brother, wait and move forward, there are demons in Hanoi ahead, and they have killed countless passing merchants. Hurry up and detour!"

Liu Jin was startled, raised his eyes and looked at the man who had arrived in front of him, and found that the person who came was an old man with a long sword on his back, ragged clothes, but his eyes were still bright, as if they had not been eroded by time.

Liu Jin chuckled and thought to himself that he had been here countless times, and he had never heard of any monsters in Hanoi. He was afraid that the old man was deliberately deceiving him, so he said, "How can there be monsters in Langlang Qiankun? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"

Seeing Liu Jin's expression, the old man knew that he didn't believe what he was saying, and immediately became a little angry. "You Jia really don't know what to do, if you lose your life, don't blame me for not reminding you!" After saying that, he turned around and flicked his sleeves into the mountain forest again.

Liu Jin shook his head and chuckled, not taking the old man's words to heart, and continued to move forward.

When he came to the river, Liu Jin looked at the river with some doubt. The ancient well of the river was silent and flowing quietly, but there were no ferry boats and pedestrians on both sides of the river, which was very strange.

How can you cross the river without a ferry?

Just as Liu Jin was looking around, he suddenly heard a faint baby crying from the jungle not far from the river. The crying was intermittent, and then it grew louder and louder, echoing in the silent mountain forest. It was very pitiful.

Liu Jin's heart trembled, could it be that someone threw the child here? At least a life, how can it be so vicious and ruthless, discarded like a beast? Thinking of this, Liu Jin followed the sound and went to find out.

When he came to the source of the sound, Liu Jin opened the grass and looked down. He saw nine ugly snakeheads floating on the water by the river. One of them screamed with his mouth open and his fangs exposed.

Liu Jin was startled, what kind of snake is this, and its cry is like a baby? Liu Jin looked terrified, knowing that this thing must be extraordinary, he turned and fled without saying a word.

The nine snakeheads in the river saw that Liu Jin was fooled, and they all let out a cry of joy, jumped up and jumped out of the water, and went straight to Liu Jin.

The disgusting stench spread in the air. Liu Jin heard the sound of water and looked back, but was instantly scared to death, his face was horrified, a strange snake behind him was as big as a dustpan, with nine heads, wagging its head and tail in the air, and now they opened their bloody mouths and rushed towards him.

Liu Jin thought he saw nine snakes, but now he knew that it was clearly a monster with nine heads!

Liu Jin's legs were weak for a while, and before running a few steps, he staggered and fell directly to the ground. Looking at the ferocious and terrifying strange snake getting closer and closer, Liu Jin regretted the beginning, regretting that he did not listen to the old man who blocked the way.

Just as Liu Jin was in despair, the forest suddenly shouted, "How dare you!" Then a flying sword came first and cut off a snake head that was about to touch Liu Jin. The strange snake was in pain, and its body immediately fell from the air, splashing dust on the ground.

The strange snake landed on the ground, and a figure had also arrived in front of Liu Jin. He took advantage of the situation to take the flying sword and urged Liu Jin, "Fortunately, I came in time, you should go away quickly, don't be hurt!"

When Liu Jin saw that the person who came was the old man who had exhorted him before, he was overjoyed. Looking at the old man's solemn expression, he suddenly didn't care to thank him. He got up from the ground in a panic and fled to the mountain.

"Ah! Ah!"

The food from the strange snake's mouth was blocked, and one head was chopped off, and it suddenly became fierce, and the remaining eight heads roared up into the sky. The cries of the baby's cries one after another in the air were breathtaking, and then the flesh and blood of the snake without the head squirmed, and a snake head quickly grew out, exactly the same as before.

The snake body was on the ground, and the nine snake heads were raised high, revealing their fangs. Before waiting for the old man to come forward, the five heads on the far left instantly spewed out five flames and burned the old man.

The old man was startled when he saw the strange snake's head grow again. Without thinking too much, he quickly took out a fire talisman, and with thought, the talisman swelled in the wind and turned into a transparent color to protect the old man. The runes around the old man flashed, allowing the strange snake to burn unscathed.

"Humph!"   The old man snorted coldly, and the long sword in his hand lashed out again. The strange snake hurriedly dodged, but because his head couldn't dodge, he was slashed by the old man's flying sword again.

The strange snake did not retreat, but advanced, and again it pounced. The mouths of the four heads on the right opened, and four water jets were sprayed out in an instant.

The old man was taken aback. He didn't expect that this strange snake could not only breathe fire, but also use water.

The moment he landed, the old man ignored the pain and immediately ran forward with a carp, barely avoiding the ensuing bites behind him.

The strange snake was furious, raised its head, and roared again into the sky. The severed snake neck squirmed again, and a ferocious snake head grew out. The eyes of the nine heads were fierce, and his body jumped up and pounced on the old man again.

"Cough!" The old man coughed out a mouthful of blood, and then saw the severed head of the strange snake grow out again, and his face suddenly sank like water. The old man knew that this monster was difficult to deal with, but he did not expect it to be so terrifying. Not only can it spray water and fire, but its terrifying regenerative ability is also appalling.

The old man looked at the strange snake coming aggressively, so he could only dodge everywhere. He was embarrassed and avoided for a long time. Suddenly, the old man seemed to have realized something, and the long sword in his hand suddenly threw back.

The old man sneered, and the long sword in the air instantly became larger, like a sword that opened the sky. The sword body flipped and cut across the strange snake.

The strange snake raised its head, and when it saw the horizontal side of the sword body, it showed a terrified look for the first time, and immediately abandoned the old man, turned back to avoid, but it was too late to miss the opportunity. The huge sword slashed down, and nine heads were chopped off and scattered on the ground.

Without the snake head, the snake body rolled and struggled for a while. After a while, the snake head and snake body turned into clear smoke and dissipated with the wind.

The old man took back his sword, clutched his chest, and looked at the mess around him. He got up and walked up the mountain. After walking a few steps, he saw Liu Jin greeting him trembling.

Previously, the old man asked Liu Jin to leave, but Liu Jin did not go far. He watched the old man fight the strange snake in the dark from a distance. When he saw that the fight had subsided and the old man dragged his injured body away, he quickly ran down.

The old man allowed Liu Jin to support him, shook his head and said, "This snake is indeed dead, if I don't know its identity, I don't dare to be so sure!"

"I didn't expect it at first, but then I thought about it, its nine heads can breathe fire and spit water, and it can regenerate even if it cuts off one head, and its cry is like a baby's cry. This is clearly the legendary beast Nine Infants, so I chopped off its nine heads with one sword, cutting off its power of rebirth!"

"Nine Infants?" Liu Jin exclaimed when he heard the old man's words. Liu Jin had also read ancient books when he was studying and knew its origin.

This thing was born at the beginning of the division of heaven and earth, and it had no soul and no soul. It was already immortal, and because it had nine lives, as long as there was still one life, it could collect the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to recover. Relying on this technique, Jiu Ying became one of the ancient beasts.

Liu Jin looked puzzled and said, "But later, Nine Infants did too much evil, wasn't it already shot by Houyi in the ferocious waters of Beidi? How could it appear again as a disaster to the world?"

The old man smiled, "I was also very strange at first, but when I thought that this place was not far from Chengji, I suddenly realized!"

"Taihao Fuxi was born in Chengji, and he has been thinking about it since childhood. He created Fuxi gossip. Fuxi gossip is the original root of the text and has great significance to future generations. Therefore, later generations established a Fuxi gossip platform there to commemorate Fuxi!"

"As far as people are sincere, the gossip has been channeled for a long time, the four short paintings of the Kan Gua and the one long painting; the two short paintings of the Li Gua and the two long paintings, a total of nine paintings, the Kan is for water and the color is profound, so there will be five snake heads that make good use of water, while the Li is for fire and the color is red, so the four snake heads make good use of fire, so the nine infants are hallucinated by the essence of the Kan Li Second Gua!"

Of course, this Nine Infants mana was low, far from being comparable to the Nine Infants that Hou Yi had shot.

Liu Jin suddenly realized, and finally understood why the Nine Infants Monster Snake could not leave the body, it turned out to have turned into essence!

Thinking of the old man's life-saving grace, Liu Jin supported the old man and thanked him again and again!

The old man laughed, but waved his hands again and again: "I was originally a Taoist priest, and it is my duty to subdue demons and subdue demons, so why thank you!"

After laughing for a moment, the old man's face suddenly froze. Without the joy of getting rid of demons, his face was full of melancholy, and Wei Ran sighed: "Fuxi gossip is originally a mascot, and those essence are auspicious in prosperous times.

Now that the emperor is so incompetent that he is divided and the war is about to break out, I can get rid of the demon and save you, but I can't save the world." It's sad, but it's a sigh.

Liu Jin followed with a sigh, shook his head, and helped the old man gradually go away.
