The bones within the snake bone are not as dense as they appear on the surface, and they also aren't as dense as what Li Xiaoyan had said.

The moment Hu Guyue and I fell into the snake's mouth, our vision went black.

That darkness was not as dark as usual, or as dark as the room without light, but as deep as the substance of darkness. It was just like the silent darkness in a dream, without light at the bottom, without anything, but enveloping one within.

When I had clearly been swallowed into the snake's mouth, my leg had even been bitten, but the moment I entered the snake mouth, I felt as if I had stood up. My entire body stood in this quiet and soundless darkness, even Hu Guyue, who was originally with me, had disappeared.

I opened my mouth to scream, but no sound came out. It was as if even the sound was swallowed up by the darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint light came from the distance followed by a faint figure walking out from the darkness. My heart immediately tightened as I heard a faint singing sound.

The song was light, but it was not low. Several notes rose up and down, making people yearn for it. They pricked up their ears in an attempt to hear it clearly, only to discover that even though the notes were right by their ears, they were not low at all.

As that person slowly approached me, I narrowed my eyes to look at him. To my surprise, I found that the person was holding a blade in his hand. The patterns on the blade made by the knife made me extremely familiar with it.

It was the exact same sword that Liu Kunsheng used to cut my flesh off in my dreams. My eyes immediately contracted, and I instinctively retreated in fear.

But this time the man walked straight toward me, as if he didn't see me, and behind me.

The face that looked exactly like Liu Kunsheng's, was filled with deep sorrow. The lips slightly moved, and the singing came out from his mouth.

He walked right past me, away from me.

I quickly turned around and found that there was an endless space behind me. There was a person tied to a tall pillar that reached into the clouds.

No, it was a snake.

It was a sparkling, pure white snake like Whitey, its scales glowing with a dark light. However, there was no horn on its forehead.

It was tied to a tall mountain pillar as it lowered its head to look at the approaching knife-wielding man, a smile unexpectedly appearing on its face.

It was clearly the appearance of a snake, but I could still see it swinging around several times as an adult. I could even see it laughing with its head lowered.

I suddenly felt a throbbing pain in my heart --

Liu Kunsheng took his blade and hummed a song as he slowly walked closer, hissing something at the snake. He was clearly in his human form, but he was actually speaking in the language of snakes.

The snake that was tied up only raised its head to look at him silently. Then, it lowered its head to look at the foot of the mountain with a gentle smile.

I felt a little strange. I tried to look down the mountain, but there seemed to be a lot of small things moving about in the clouds. However, because they were too small, I couldn't see them clearly.

Just as he was thinking, the ferocious Liu Kunsheng raised his blade and sliced off that snake's body.

I opened my mouth to scream, but I still couldn't make a sound. Except for the man, the snake was suddenly pitch black again.

Pieces of flesh were cut off from the body of the snake. The fresh blood dyed those sparkling red scales, and every slash seemed to be made on my body, causing me to feel the same sensation.

Liu Kunsheng placed the piece of meat beside the mountain pillar. After there was a certain amount, he actually held his hand and threw it into the sky.

I looked up along his raised hand and saw a pair of eyes as clear as the sky.

Those eyes were the same as Liu Kunsheng's, their eyes were locked with each other, clear enough to see my soul; but also like Ceng Xiaoqiang's eyes, with countless stars scattered within, just a single glance was sufficient to intoxicate one — —

What was going on in his head? Trying to open his eyes wide in an attempt to see the owner of those eyes, he suddenly heard an angry roar.

Following which, something rushed over from the distance. Then, the mountain pillar with the white snake tied up on it collapsed with a loud bang.

I seemed to have heard someone's angry roar, but then I felt my body shaking.

He blinked his eyes again, only to see Liu Kunsheng holding me in his arms angrily, with one hand on my forehead, while staring at the girl who was still completely naked.

"Yo, so nervous." The girl laughed softly and slowly walked towards the locust tree: "Sooner or later she will wake up, how long can you suppress this snake bone for?"

I suddenly became clear-headed when I heard it. From my dreams before, I vaguely knew that I was that snake whose flesh had been sliced off piece by piece. Liu Kunsheng was definitely that person holding the blade.

But why was it that when I was being cut up, there was only pain, and no hatred, and why did Liu Kunsheng suppress this snake bone?

So that snake bone was not his, but mine!

Who the hell would it be if I woke up?

"You trapped me in the water of the Yellow Springs in this tower so that she could wake up when I wasn't around?" Liu Kunsheng sneered, his hand on my forehead, and said to me in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

His voice was extremely low and was filled with a heavy sadness. However, the hand that was hugging me became tighter and tighter.

The woman laughed: "Huang Quan is indeed only able to trap you for a short while, but it's enough, didn't the snake bone already find her?"

"Liu Kunsheng, you have to remember that anyone who fights against a dragon often will become a dragon themselves. The lady looked at Liu Kunsheng, then raised her eyes and looked at me silently, but after one glance she immediately lowered her eyes: "I hope you wake up soon."

"Let's go!" Liu Kunsheng turned around and hugged me as he walked away.

I just realised that there was a little girl behind him, who looked like she was five or six years old. At this moment, she was being pulled by Hu Guyue, Xiao Bai curiously looked at the girl, and actually licked the girl's face from time to time.

However, the girl didn't seem to be afraid at all. Her pitch-black eyes were deep and calm, allowing Xiao Bai's snake like tongue to lick her face. Then, she quietly followed Hu Guyue forward.

"When you wake up, remember to come back to me. The evil spirits that fill the tree and flower, the ghosts of the entire Yellow Springs, will all be at your disposal. Remember, I'm waiting for you. " When the girl finished, she spoke in a low voice, but each word was as if she was gritting her teeth.

I turned my head to look at her from Liu Kunsheng's shoulder, only to see her squinting her eyes and extending her hand to tap. Countless locust flowers floated down, similar to how calm and beautiful she was when I first entered the courtyard.

She clearly said that she would wait for me, but she didn't even want to look at me. This made me feel very conflicted.

What made me feel even more contradictory was that even though Liu Kunsheng clearly knew of her relationship with me, he did not stop me from knowing about the snake bone, nor did he stop me from listening to the woman speak, nor did he ever explain.

This attitude of letting him develop made me feel that his heart seemed to be more contradictory.

He seemed to be afraid that I would wake up and that he would want me to.

When we walked out of the courtyard, the woman was lying on the reclining chair, humming a song. It was the song that Liu Kunsheng had hummed in the snake's mouth just now.

At this moment, she hummed a melody that was much clearer than when I was in the snake's mouth. It made me feel a strange sense of familiarity. My throat felt itchy, and I instinctively followed suit and hummed softly.

Before long, something cool flashed through his mind and he stopped.

He raised his head and looked at Liu Kunsheng who was staring at me with his eyes lowered. His face was grave as he touched his face and said: "I seem to have heard this song before."

"This is the song of the Yellow Springs, to pacify the souls of the wrongdoers." Liu Kunsheng rubbed his hands against my face and smiled faintly at me, but didn't say anything more.

The song of the Yellow Springs, when I thought about that girl just now saying that all the ghosts of the Yellow Spring can be used by me, I honestly don't know what I want with so many souls of the dead.

"Last time, I saw the Yellow Springs." I smiled at Liu Kunsheng and comforted him, then pointed to Hu Guyue and said: "He went too, in a fishing reservoir, with ghosts crossing the border, a woman came out of the water alive, and sang this song."

"To be able to come out of the Yellow Springs means that she is not a simple person. I'm afraid that woman also knows the song of the Yellow Springs, which is even more remarkable." Liu Kunsheng let out a cold snort, and brought me along as he turned to look at the faraway gallows: "Just now, that woman trapped me in the Yellow Springs, she thought —"

"What are you thinking about?" I know she wants me to wake up and let that snake bone swallow me.

In other words, in her eyes, I am the body of that snake bone.

But what was it after he woke up?

Why did I wake up?

I am Qin Chenmo, why should I give up my current identity, my parents, my close friends, my memories, and become another person?

When Liu Kunsheng heard my words, he looked down at me and said, "There will be a day when I will tell you the answer, but it will not be now. You just need to believe me. All the pain from the past is gone. "

I nodded my head. Sometimes, there's no need to care about matters of the past.

I've always thought of Grandma Meng as a good thing, both now and in the past.

The locust flowers in the yard were still falling, but we didn't look back.

I didn't ask Liu Kunsheng what he borrowed from the girl nor did I want to ask Liu Kunsheng. Where did the meat go?

Only the girl looked at me quietly, but she followed us quietly.

When we reached the center of the village, the swarm of Gu worms retreated. Director Ding held onto the small peach wood sword and waved it around tiredly.

Beside him, the members of the task force were all bitten and wounded.

"Still not awake?" Director Ding looked at me with a tired and slightly disappointed and heavily helpless expression as he asked Liu Kunsheng.
