I was taken aback, thinking I was seeing things.Rubbing my eyes, I looked again, and saw a small head pop out of the ground.To my surprise, it was a snake's

head. I was astonished, wondering what was going on.In my astonished gaze, a jade-green snake slowly slithered out from beneath the mud. Its tail was held

high, adorned with a pair of bright golden earrings, shining conspicuously.I was stunned. I knew this jade snake too well. I had saved its life before, and

it had saved mine later. I never expected to encounter it here.Seeing the golden earrings on its tail, I felt a pang of disappointment. It seemed that the

owner of the tomb didn't accept the earrings. Instead, the jade snake dragged them into the soil, indicating that the owner hadn't agreed.The sky was

completely bright now, and our plan was completely ruined. It seemed I couldn't escape this calamity.Unexpectedly, Kuzhuo slapped me on the back, his face

showing surprise. "What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and bow to Liu Xian's family. You're lucky, Liu Xian is willing to help you. Now you're saved!"In

folklore, there are five immortals: "Fox, Yellow, White, Ash, and Willow." Willow refers to snakes.Snakes are spiritual animals, called "earth dragons"

here. It is said that snakes that have cultivated into spirits can grow horns on their heads and ascend after overcoming their tribulations.Kuzhuo referred

to this jade snake as "Liu Xian's family."I originally saved this little snake out of kindness, but it turned out to be my lifesaver. At a critical moment,

this little snake agreed to save my life. It seemed that good and evil karma had long been predetermined.Kuzhuo told me that not all snakes could be called

"Liu Xian." "Liu" refers to green, so Liu Xian actually refers to a green snake. The higher the spirituality of the snake immortal, the more obvious the

green color on its skin. The body of this little snake was already translucent green, like jade, so its spirituality must be very high. If I could get its

protection, I believed I could successfully escape this disaster.Kuzhuo bowed to the jade snake and said, "Dare to ask this Liu Xian, are you really willing

to help Yang's boy?"The jade snake shook its head, circled around the grave mound, and then swam straight toward me.I was overjoyed and quickly opened my

palm. The jade snake cleverly crawled into my palm, its crimson tongue flickering as it licked my palm. It tickled, and I couldn't help but giggle.Kuzhuo

said, "Let's go, hurry back home!"The jade snake coiled around my wrist, its body cool and comfortable, like wearing a jade bracelet.I followed Kuzhuo,

stepping in and out of the Guicongou.Back home, I saw my parents looking haggard, obviously sleepless all night. Grandpa was sitting on the doorstep,

smoking his pipe.Seeing us return, Grandpa quickly stood up and asked Kuzhuo, "Great immortal, is it done?"Kuzhuo nodded and told Grandpa, "Go buy some

offerings!"Grandpa didn't ask much, just took a puff of his pipe and quickly walked out of the yard.My parents welcomed Kuzhuo into the hall and cooked him

a bowl of fried eggs, two eggs even. In our remote village, serving fried eggs to guests was a high-standard treatment. Moreover, it was two eggs, something

that even Grandpa would only have on his birthday each year.Kuzhuo didn't hesitate and quickly ate up the fried eggs, wiping his mouth contentedly.Dad

handed Kuzhuo a cigarette and lit it for him, then asked him about last night's situation.Kuzhuo exhaled smoke rings leisurely and recounted last night's

adventure to my parents. My parents were astonished, their mouths gaping in disbelief, unable to recover for a while.Dad licked his lips and asked Kuzhuo,

"Snake?!"Kuzhuo waved his hand. "Yes, but not an ordinary snake, it's Liu Xian! Don't worry, this is Yang Cheng's blessing!"Mom nervously said, "Can... can

I... take a look...?"I rolled up my sleeve and opened my palm, and the jade snake slowly crawled out from my sleeve, coiling on the table, exhaling its

snake's breath towards my parents, as if greeting them."Oh my goodness!" Mom stepped back in fright, her face pale. "Great immortal, you go on chatting,

I... I'll go cook..."Mom glanced at the jade snake with lingering fear and hurriedly left the hall.In the afternoon, Grandpa came back with red candles.Red

paper was pasted on the windows and bedroom doors, creating a festive atmosphere. Then we sat together and drank.Tonight, at midnight, I would worship this

jade snake as my spiritual guide. Thinking about it, this matter was quite absurd.I had never dreamed that the first time I made a spiritual connection

would be with a snake!At midnight, it was already quiet outside.Kuzhuo was in charge, and the jade snake was placed on a tray wrapped in red cloth, held by

Grandpa, with another piece of red cloth covering its body."Bow once!" Kuzhuo shouted.I knelt down and bowed towards the door."Bow twice!" Kuzhuo shouted

again.I turned around and bowed to my parents. They were also dressed festively, but their smiles were stiff. They probably never imagined such a bizarre

scene."Bow together!"I knelt down and bowed to the jade snake.

The jade snake also moved its body, as if responding to me."Ritual completed!" Kuzhuo gestured.Kuzhuo came over and patted my shoulder. "Kid, I can only

help you up to this point. The rest depends on your fate!"I nodded and bowed to Kuzhuo, expressing my gratitude. "Thank you, great immortal!"Kuzhuo bid

farewell to my parents. Grandpa wanted to keep him for a few more drinks, but Kuzhuo said, "No more drinks. The matter isn't finished yet. I need to go to

the ancestral hall and bury those deadly golden earrings there, using the incense in the ancestral hall to suppress their evil nature."I carried the tray

back to the bedroom. There were red candles lit in the bedroom, creating a warm atmosphere.I uncovered the red cloth, and the jade snake crawled out.

Looking at the jade snake, I felt a myriad of emotions. I never thought it could really save my life.
