Chapter 51 Tang Yue's Secret
Meanwhile, Mo Fan took Ye Xinxia to the apartment he rented here.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief after returning to his apartment.
That snake was definitely real; it wasn't some mysterious formation the government claimed to have created.
By evening, Lu Jie had arrived in Hangzhou and found Mo Fan using the location he had sent.
"Old Lu, help me quickly!!" Mo Fan saw Lu Jie and immediately called out as if he had seen a savior.
"What's wrong? Tell me." Lu Jie put on shoe covers and walked into the apartment Mo Fan rented in Hangzhou.
Mo Fan then explained the reason. Originally, Mo Fan did not want to have anything to do with that snake anymore, but he found that he could not concentrate on cultivation under the shadow of the snake, and the fear that lingered in his heart still existed.
Every time I cultivate, I see that snake's shadow. If I don't get rid of this fear, I'm afraid I won't be able to cultivate normally in the future.
After listening to Mo Fan's account, Lu Jie understood the situation. Mo Fan had been infected with a cloud of fear by the Xuan Snake, and if it wasn't removed, this cloud of fear would accompany him for the rest of his life.
"Close your eyes, I'll help you," Lu Jie said.
Mo Fan nodded, then closed his eyes.
Lu Jie took out a horse talisman from his divine power space and silently recited: "Noble horse, please remove all external forces!"
A glint of light flashed from the horse talisman, and Mo Fan, whose mind was filled with fear by the Xuan Snake, felt his thoughts become clear.
"Holy crap, Lao Lu, that's amazing!" Mo Fan exclaimed joyfully, now he no longer had to be afraid of that snake.
"What happened to that snake? How did you encounter it?" Lu Jie quietly put away the horse talisman and asked Mo Fan.
"I don't know either, but I think someone does." Mo Fan then thought of his practical class teacher from high school.
A phone call was made, and Tang Yue's voice came through the line: "What's wrong, Mo Fan? Is there something you need?"
"Um, Ms. Tang Yue, I'm in Hangzhou..."
Tang Yue, on the other end, paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "You saw it?"
Mo Fan hummed in agreement.
"Then come to my house."
"Old Lu knows too."
"Who?"
"Lu Jie".
"..." Tang Yue was silent for a moment, then said, "Then you should all come to my house."
"I'm a little afraid to get close to the West Lake area," Mo Fan said.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yue let out a few melodious giggles and said, "Mo Fan, who used to be fearless, now has moments of fear too?"
"Teacher Tang Yue, please stop making fun of me," Mo Fan said awkwardly.
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. I'll send you the location; you and Lu Jie can come over here."
After hanging up the phone, Mo Fan received Tang Yue's location on WeChat.
Following the location, the two hailed a taxi on the street and soon arrived at Tang Yue's apartment.
As soon as they arrived at the apartment building, they saw Tang Yue coming down from upstairs.
The beautiful, charming, and mature Ms. Tang Yue walked down the street wearing a long, Mori Girl style cardigan. Her long, slender legs, encased in black stockings and high heels, were so captivating that it was impossible to look away...
This sexiness and charm is probably what many young girls envy most, yet cannot be imitated through any heavy makeup.
"Shall we take a walk together?" Tang Yue invited.
They nodded and followed Tang Yue for a walk.
During the walk, Tang Yue also told her stories from the past.
They say that their village used to worship a god, and if it weren't for the god's protection, their village would no longer exist.
"Is this god really that powerful? Maybe I should go and pay my respects sometime?" Mo Fan said.
"You've already paid your respects," Tang Yue said with a smile.
"Uh..." Mo Fan was stunned for a moment, his whole body suddenly trembling. Could it be...?
"It's that snake," Lu Jie said.
"No way, Teacher Tang Yue, you actually worship that snake as a god?" Mo Fan looked at Tang Yue in disbelief.
"Your village isn't entirely made up of snake people, is it?" Mo Fan thought of the story of the White Snake Lady that he had told Ye Xinxia before.
But then he realized something was wrong: how did the two snakes from Sichuan end up in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang region?
Tang Yue rolled her eyes and said irritably, "We're people, okay?!"
"If you're a human, why would you worship a snake?"
"It seems you weren't paying attention in your magic history class."
Mo Fan smiled awkwardly, as if he had never really paid attention in class, especially after entering university, when he often skipped school.
"A totem, right?" Lu Jie said.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yue looked at Lu Jie with some surprise, then nodded and said, "That's right, the god worshipped in our village is a totem beast called the Totem Black Serpent."
"Come with me, I'll take you somewhere."
The two then followed Tang Yue all the way to West Lake. Once they reached the lakeside, they boarded a small boat, which gently floated on the lake's surface.
The lake water is clear and tranquil, reflecting the white clouds that gently drift around the small boat, or slowly overlap with its shadow.
Before long, the small boat arrived at the island in the middle of the lake.
The island in the middle of the lake is shaped like a prohibition sign: a circle with an X inside, and the rest of the island is water.
As soon as the small boat reached the shore, Mo Fan saw a man dressed in blue standing guard there. The man's eyes lit up when he saw Tang Yue, but his brows furrowed when he saw Lu Jie and Mo Fan.
"Tang Yue, we don't welcome outsiders here," the man said in a deep voice.
"They are my students, so they're not outsiders," Tang Yue said.
"Dasheng, you can go back now. I'll stay here and keep watch for you today," Tang Yue said to the man.
The man named Dasheng nodded, then steered his small boat away from the island in the middle of the lake.
Upon arriving at the island in the middle of the lake, the two discovered a different side of their teacher.
With her hands behind her back, she looked like a lively little girl leading her friend to a familiar place.
They crossed the pond in the lake and came to a courtyard house.
Inside the courtyard, there were some antiques on display. Mo Fan followed Tang Yue inside and discovered that not only were there antiques on the table, but even the walls were decorated with murals depicting ancient legends...
The mural depicts people, water, and villages, as well as some strange-looking demons scurrying around, seemingly trying to escape.
"So this snake really is protecting your village?" Mo Fan asked, somewhat surprised, as he looked at the mural.
Lu Jie stared at the mural above, as if he had seen something.
Tang Yue nodded and said, "That's why we call it a god, and this island in the middle of the lake symbolizes this ancient event."
