Cultivation of immortality by toad starts with cultivating demons

Chapter 1390: Humans are not as good as monsters, life is like a dream

In his second life, Xuan Mo was born into a human family, but his parents died early, so he had to live in his sister's house.

In order not to be despised by his brother-in-law, Xuan Mo worked very hard since he was a child. While studying the Four Books and Five Classics, he went into the mountains to collect herbs and sold them in pharmacies to supplement the family income.

When he was nine years old, he went into the mountains alone to collect herbs, but he found a little white snake dying on the side of the road. It had many wounds on its body and was bleeding a lot.

The child was frightened at first, but later found that the little white snake did not seem to be completely dead, so the kind-hearted child immediately used an expensive elixir he had collected to heal the little white snake.

Later, he was worried that the little white snake would be eaten by other wild animals if it was exposed in the deserted mountains, so he took the little white snake back to his sister's house and often secretly took his own food to feed the little white snake.

During that time, the child would give some of the herbs he collected every day to the little white snake to heal its wounds, until one day he discovered that the little white snake had disappeared, and then he gave up.

Later, the child grew up and became a handsome young man with elegant manners. He learned good calligraphy and medical skills. With a kind heart, he often provided free medical treatment to the townspeople and was called a living Bodhisattva by the townspeople.

The young man's good deeds won praise from the residents of the town and naturally won the favor of his brother-in-law. However, this did not satisfy him. He still wanted to achieve fame and fortune to bring honor to his deceased parents.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, it was the eve of the big exam.

In order to relieve the tense emotions of these years, the young man's sister asked him to go to the big lake to enjoy the lake view before the Lantern Festival, relax his mind, light a river lantern, make a wish, and ask the river god to protect him.

Just like that, on a full-moon night, the young man stepped onto a three-story lantern festival boat for the first time in his life and sailed on the lake.

When the cruise ship arrived at the center of the lake, everyone on the boat began to light river lanterns and make wishes, and the young man was no exception.

But at the moment he put down the river lantern, the entire lake suddenly became turbulent, and huge waves appeared out of nowhere, causing everyone on the boat to scream and exclaim.

The young man was also filled with panic, but it was of no avail. The horrible waves eventually caused the entire ship to capsize. When the scholar was on the verge of life and death, he was saved by a giant white python.

But even though the scholar was rescued, he was still frightened, and he was submerged in water for a long time, which made him weak and invaded by cold evil, and he was in a coma for several days.

When the scholar woke up, he found himself already home, but he learned from his sister that he had missed the day of the big exam.

This was like a bolt from the blue for the scholar, and he eventually became depressed and even sicker.

The scholar's sister and her family searched all over the town for doctors to cure him, but to no avail. Just when they were at a loss, a new clinic suddenly opened opposite their home.

As the saying goes, when one is desperate, one will try any possible means. The scholar's sister did not care about anything else and took the scholar directly to the new clinic, only to find that the doctor was a beautiful young woman.

Just when the scholar's sister was questioning the woman's medical skills, the woman simply touched the scholar's forehead, and the unconscious scholar suddenly woke up on the spot.

Later, the scholar would come to the clinic every day to see a doctor. Due to the woman's superb medical skills, the clinic was crowded every day. Because the scholar was also good at medicine, he would help when the woman was too busy most of the time.

After the shop closed, he would chat with the woman about medicine and the Four Books and Five Classics, often for most of the night.

After a few interactions, the scholar eventually fell in love with the girl.

But the good times didn't last long. A monster rushed into the town, leaving corpses all over the place. In order to protect the scholar's family, the woman transformed herself into a giant white python.

At this time, the scholar and his family finally realized that the woman with superb medical skills was actually a snake demon!

Later, the white snake demon defeated the monster, but was also abandoned by the scholar's family. Although the scholar was deeply in love with her, he was also frightened and did not dare to step forward to recognize her for a while.

The white snake demon was covered in blood. It looked back at the scholar and left in a hurry.

Since then, the snake demon never appeared again, and the scholar was never tempted again. Later, when the monster attacked again, the snake demon appeared again to save the scholar's family. Later, in order to save the scholar's family, the snake demon spared no effort to kill the monster, but his own energy was greatly damaged and he eventually fell to the level of an ordinary python.

Fires broke out in the town and many people died. The angry townspeople gathered up their courage, picked up kerosene and iron tools, and rushed towards the white python.

In order to save the giant python, the scholar protected it and wanted to reason with the people. However, the people in the town had already lost their minds. They only knew that it was a monster that destroyed their homes, and that monsters were born evil and specialized in eating humans for a living. So how could there be any good monsters?

Anger makes people stupid. The people's anger made them forget the "living Bodhisattva" of the past. They immediately defined the scholar who wanted to protect the snake monster as the monster's accomplice, and all kinds of iron tools were thrown at the scholar.

Looking at the numb and hideous faces of the crowd, the scholar stood there in a daze.

He was not beaten to death by the people because at the critical moment the snake demon coiled around his body and saved his life again.

This time the snake demon died, beaten to death by the angry townspeople, and finally the kerosene on his body was set on fire.

Amid the raging fire, the scholar cried. He had never thought that human nature could be so ugly.

Finally, he looked at the giant python's head, recalled everything that had happened before, and finally understood that this snake demon came just to repay his gratitude.

"In order to repay a favor, the demon will follow you through life and death!"

"People trample all the so-called kindness under their feet just because of a moment of anger!"

"Humans in this world are worse than monsters. How ridiculous and pathetic! Hahahaha...!"

The young man laughed, and finally walked into the raging fire, ending his life completely.

Mo Fan himself was slightly stunned when he saw this scene, and finally sighed.

In the third life, Xuan Mo was finally born into a normal human family. There were not too many joys and sorrows, nor any earth-shaking experiences in this life. Everything was as plain as water, and decades of time passed by in a flash.

This year, Xuan Mo has grown old due to the baptism of time. He lies flat on the bed, breathing is extremely difficult. He is surrounded by middle-aged men and women with worried and painful looks on their faces. These are his children in this life.

He looked back on his life and murmured in his heart: "I, an old man, came from an ordinary life and will return to an ordinary life. Although I failed to make my family rich, I did not let my children starve. The only person I feel sorry for is my wife. She suffered a lot with me, but in the end, she left before me...

No, maybe this is the best ending for me. This way, she doesn't have to wait for me, and I don't have to worry about it anymore. As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Isn't it so...

Life!

It was really just a dream!

Rouer, I’m here to look for you…”

Finally, the old man closed his eyes.

There was a smile on his face until his death, but tears were still flowing from the corners of his eyes.

The whole house was suddenly filled with loud crying!

In the fourth life, the loud cry of a baby resounded throughout a general's mansion...
