A few days later.
Dongjie County, Shuanglongjiang area.
Yi Bai turned into Haidongqing and flew in. He looked around and saw that nothing had changed.
In fact, seven years have passed.
Yi Bai looked down from high in the sky and felt filled with emotions. When he left, he did not know the true way, did not know martial arts, traveled through mountains and rivers, and experienced a lot. He traveled from the north, tossed and turned to Chu County, and finally entered the fairy mountain, met the immortals, and learned from the immortals. Acquire Taoism and master martial arts.
But seven days in the mountains and seven years outside the mountains made it impossible for him to recover for a while.
"The Prophet doesn't know what's going on."
Yi Bai was very concerned about his old friend.
He quickly flew to the upper reaches of Shuanglong River, and saw the constant traffic of ships on the river, and felt quietly relieved.
He found a deserted place, dived into the river, and transformed into a dragon's body, filled with demonic aura and rippling water.
Wow…
Yi Bai's sudden intrusion attracted the attention of the little demons at the bottom of the river.
He raised the dragon's head and looked at it.
I saw a lot of evil spirit.
Seven years have passed.
There are many little monsters at the bottom of the river upstream.
"Yes, but Mr. Long?"
A familiar voice came.
Yi Bai twisted the dragon's head and looked around, and saw the old turtle swimming from a distance with an excited expression.
"Mr. Prophet, after seven years of separation, everything is fine?"
Yi Bai opened his mouth and spit out human words.
"Mr. Long, I am fine, but you are fine. I haven't seen you for seven years. I thought something was wrong with Mr. Long. Fortunately, during the summer solstice and winter solstice, the gods will remove the filth. The spiritual official will come and inform me. , Mr. Long, you are fine."
The old turtle was very excited.
When Yi Bai heard this, how could he not understand that Zhao Lingguan had helped him again invisibly.
He was filled with gratitude.
When facing Lao Gui, he had no intention of hiding anything and told him about the immortal advice he received from the Immortal Mountain.
When the old turtle heard this, he felt as if he were listening to strange stories, which were all bizarre and mysterious.
…
A dragon and a turtle talked at the bottom of the river for a long time before giving up.
After a long time.
The old turtle paddled his limbs and floated not far from Yi Bai, and said: "Longjun, in the past seven years, many little demons have been born in the upper reaches of the Shuanglong River. Now the little demons in the Shuanglong River have Little Demon Thirteen. It seems to be related to the gradual decline of humanity.”
Yi Bai was grateful and said, "I have troubled you, Master Xian, to control Shuanglong River for seven years."
What else did Yi Boben want to say.
But suddenly, as if he felt something, he looked out of the river.
I could only see thousands of green smoke flowing into it outside the river. It did not melt when it met the water, and it was as misty as a fairy.
This is……
Incense!
Yi Bai didn't move, the incense came naturally towards him, swarmed in and entered his body.
His demon power actually increased by two or three, and he was about to transform. Fortunately, he suppressed it quickly, otherwise he might have suffered a thunder disaster.
In Yi Bai's ears, there was a faint sound of intermittent prayers, as if many prayers were combined together. It was very confusing and overlapping.
Among the many sacrificial texts and prayers, he vaguely saw a temple with gray bricks and gray tiles.
"Master Prophet, what does this mean?"
Yi Bai was puzzled.
"Long Jun doesn't know that five years ago, the villagers in the four counties gradually became rich. Under the leadership of Wang Wenzhi, a temple was built for Long Jun in the middle reaches. This incense, or the incense in the temple, is related to Long Jun. That girl is the temple blessing."
The old turtle replied.
"That's how it is. I haven't seen you for seven years. Lord Seer, please go and send a message to Wang Wenzhi to see him in my temple in the evening."
Yi Bai said.
He did not object to the establishment of a temple for him, but the prerequisite for the establishment of the temple was that the villagers in the four counties had enough food and clothing.
"Yes, Mr. Long! In addition, Mr. Long, there may be something that requires your attention."
Old Turtle said suddenly.
"What's the matter?"
Yi Bai asked.
"Dragon Lord, you are already a demon of the earth. A year ago, you often came here, trying to find you, but you couldn't be found."
The old turtle told the story.
Hear this.
Yi Bai was stunned for a moment.
Already a demon of the earth?
It's almost time for the twelve demons to compete for ranking. The twelve demons must have been chosen. It's normal for demons to have their own rank.
In terms of his position, he and the demon in the Chen position belong to the same demon who is in charge of the southeastern land.
This is a monster, what are you looking for?
"I already know this. I will be stationed in Shuanglongjiang in a short period of time. If he comes, I will see him again."
Yi Bai replied.
Lao Gui didn't say much, and hurriedly sent the little demon to inform Wang Wenzhi.
Yi Bai twisted the dragon's body and headed towards the middle stream.
…
dusk.
Midstream shore.
Yi Bai left the water and turned into a human body again. He turned into a human body, and his body actually had energy. It was so changeable that there was no flaw in it.
He looked around.
Soon we saw the temple on the shore.
This temple is easy to find, and it looks very unique at first glance.
Yi Bai measured it carefully. The temple occupies a small area, just like the Dongyue Temple on the mountain. It only has one main hall and two wing rooms. The temple is brand new and has three words "Longjun Temple" written on it.
He walked towards it.
Near dusk, many pilgrims also visit this temple.
Yi Bai walked in with the pilgrims.
As soon as he saw it, above the main hall, in front of the incense table, there was a clay statue. The clay statue had a human body, sitting high on it, but its head was the head of a dragon. The god wrote "Double Dragon River Dragon Lord".
This showed that Yi Bai was taciturn and almost left without turning around.
Fortunately, he accepted it.
No matter what, this is his temple, the first temple. The clay statues should be as ugly as possible.
Yi Bai glanced around and found the girl from the past, A Nian.
All I saw was a slim and pretty woman, dressed simply, with something tied up with paper beside the temple, serious and solemn.
Yi Bai felt sad for a while.
The short and petite girl who used to yell outside the mountains has grown up.
He stepped forward.
The woman 'A Nian' looked towards him, pointed in the direction of the main hall, and said seriously: "Please go to the main hall to offer incense and worship, and don't disturb me."
Yi Bai ignored him and looked A Nian up and down. He knew that he had mastered the art of passing on the false form and transformed into a human body, which he could not recognize. He smiled and said: "Why, A Nian, when I was a child, you followed me out of the mountains and chased me." Call me brother, but when you grow up, you don’t recognize me anymore?”
Yi Bai's voice was as hoarse as before.
When Anian heard this, his body trembled and his eyes were wet. He walked forward and grabbed Yi Bai. He was very excited and said, "You are my elder brother? Are you my elder brother?!"
Yi Bai nodded and admitted with a smile.
"Brother! It's really you! Why haven't you come back for seven years? I haven't seen you for seven years. I miss you so much!"
A-Nian was like a child seeing his father, and threw himself into Yi Bai's arms.
Yi Bai did not refuse, patted his back gently, smiled and listened to his thoughts.
…
At night.
Ah Nian sent the last pilgrim away, ran to the county to buy some food, and came back to have dinner with Yi Bai.
Yi Bai didn't need to eat, he was sleeping in the open air, and he had already gone without grains. But seeing Ah Nian's enthusiasm, he still used a piece of it to eat some.
After a long time.
A-Nian put away the dishes, sat down in front of the main hall, tilted his head and looked at Yi Bai, and asked, "Brother, am I, my grandma, dead long ago?"
Hearing this, Yi Bai stiffened and looked at Anian.
He happened to meet A Nian's clear eyes.
He wanted to deny it.
But thinking that A Nian had grown up and no longer lied, he nodded.
A Nian was not depressed. She showed the same innocent smile as before: "Brother, I have guessed it a long time ago. Did grandma entrust me to you before she died? Grandma has worked hard all her life..."
Yi Bai remained silent.
Don't know how to answer.
When he faced Ah Nian, his heart trembled, feeling like he was speechless when he faced his grandma.
He suddenly felt that A Nian was quite similar to his grandma back then.
Ah Nian didn't care about Yi Bai's incompatibility. She sat alone beside him and talked about her experiences over the years.
I kept thinking about it, and before I knew it, I fell into sleep and fell into a deep sleep.
Yi Bai picked up A Nian, walked into the side room, covered him with a quilt, and then turned around and left.
…
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on the temple door.
Yi Bai walked forward and opened the door.
The temple door opened, and what came into view was his acquaintance.
Wang Wenzhi.
Yi Bai looked at the wrinkles on Wang Wenzhi's face and the gray in his hair, and sighed: "Wang Wenzhi, you are old."
When Wang Wenzhi saw Yi Bai, he was also very excited, his body was trembling, and he said: "Long Jun, I haven't seen Long Jun for seven years. Is Long Jun still okay?"
When she saw Wang Wenzhi, she immediately cared about him.
Yi Bai felt helpless, nodded and said: "I am fine, so what, has County Magistrate Wang been fine in the past seven years?"
Wang Wenzhi paid his respects and said, "Thanks to Mr. Long's concern, the lower official is in good health. Haicheng County and the other three counties are also in good health. The county governor has taken great care of us and other four counties. Now the villagers in the four counties can have enough food and clothing. This is the protection of the Dragon King!"
Yi Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "This is your own effort, what does it have to do with me?"
Wang Wenzhi didn't dare to say anything, claiming that it was Yi Bai who protected him, which made Yi Bai stunned.
Yi Bai chatted with Wang Wenzhi again.
From Wang Wenzhi's mouth, he learned that the current situation in the world is becoming more and more turbulent. It is said that various places no longer respect the emperor's orders in the capital, and there is a strong tendency to divide them, fearing that the world will be in chaos.
After Yi Bai knew this, he thought of the aura of humanity he had seen when he realized the Dharma Eye in Minyue County.
The energy of humanity contains red energy and black energy.
Among them, the red energy means killing, and the world will go to war. What I heard now, that the world is afraid of war, is exactly what I saw at the beginning.
But where should this black energy be?
Black energy is a demon.
There is evil in humanity.
This shows what?
"Wang County Magistrate, do you know if there are any strange things appearing in various places in the capital?"
Yi Bai asked.
"Long Jun, I don't know what news there is from various places. I heard recently that the emperor in the capital was unwilling to accept the turmoil in the world and worshiped a Buddhist mage as his national preceptor. He tried to regain control of various places, but it has not been successful."
Wang Wenzhi shook his head and said.
"The Buddhist mage was worshiped as a national teacher?"
Yi Bai was surprised.
Is it possible that this national master corresponds to the black energy?
Is the Imperial Master a monster?
Impossible, this is not a script. No matter how declining human nature is, it is still human nature. The capital is the place where the emperor of the world lives, and the place where human nature is at its most prosperous. How can monsters enter in a grand manner and become the master of the country?
This is impossible.
Yi Bai denied.
He didn't think much more about what he wanted to talk to Wang Wenzhi about.
He suddenly seemed to feel something. He looked outside the temple and saw a demonic energy surging downstream.
The demonic energy is like a turbulent wave of water, and the turbulent waves are surging, which is the great demon in disguise.
How come there is a great demon in disguise in Shuanglongjiang area?
Yi Bai was puzzled, but he quickly guessed the identity of the visitor. He heard what Lao Gui said that demons often come to look for him.
Could it be that the demon is here again?
"Wang Wenzhi, go back and rest early. Don't be tired. I have something to do, so I'll go ahead."
Yi Bai leaped upwards, turned into a bird and flew away without a trace, as if disappearing out of thin air.
Wang Wenzhi stood in front of the temple gate and looked around in astonishment. He couldn't find any trace of him, so he had to bow to the sky and marveled at the great power of the Dragon Lord.
…
The lower reaches of Shuanglong River.
Yi Bai turned into a bird and took flight. After a while, he arrived here. He looked down and saw a man standing on the edge of the downstream, playing with the water with his hands.
He was wearing black clothes, his hair was messy, his pupils were erect, like snake pupils, and there were faint scales on the surface of his skin.
Yi Bai opened his Dharma eyes, looked at it, and saw that its body was a black snake.
The transformed black snake.
Take the non-dragon path.
It's quite different.
Yi Bai didn't know his purpose.
He was busy transforming into a human body and landed in front of the snake demon in black.
The snake demon was startled by Yi Bai, and his whole body fell into the water.
Yi Bai: "..."
He finally figured out that this snake demon might not have had much control over the human body since it had transformed soon.
Unable to steady his body, he fell into the water.
He stood there waiting for a while.
The snake demon finally climbed up, glared at Yi Bai with his eyes wide open, and said: "Where are you from, and why are you here without a trace? Do you know that I am a monster, how can you not be afraid that I will eat you?!"
Yi Bai was stunned, knowing that he had the true inheritance of the art of transformation. The snake demon could not see the clues at all, and only thought that he was an ordinary person.
"Sishen, I am the demon of Chendi, Shuanglongjiang Dragon Lord. I have been traveling abroad. I came back not long ago. I heard that Sishen often looks for me. I don't know why."
Yi Bai has no bad taste, he shows his evil spirit.
He guessed in his mind that this snake demon had cultivated to the point of transformation and did not want to turn into a dragon or a dragon. Maybe he would not follow this path, so he did not call him a 'little dragon' because he was afraid of the other party.
Therefore, Yi Bai called him "Sishen".
"Are you Shuanglong Jianglongjun? The God of Chen position?"
The snake demon looked up and down, unsure.
"That's right!"
Yi Bai was polite and courteous.
"I heard that the twelve demons each sit in one place. The Si position and the Chen position belong to the southeastern land. However, the Si position is under the Chen position, and they belong to the Minyue County area. These one and two counties are too poor. I want to exchange with the Dragon Lord, please make it happen."
The snake demon spoke bluntly.
When Yi Bai heard this, he immediately understood that the person who came was not kind, and the kind person did not come. He wanted to exchange territory with him.
According to the location of the earth, among the twelve earthly branches, Chen and Si Wei do belong to the southeastern land, but Chen is on the upper side.
Regardless of the responsibilities and grades of the twelve demons, if they are really in charge of the same place, then his Chen position should be in charge of Dongjie County, Jiangshui County, Chu County and so on.
The current position is Minyue County, and some of the following lands.
Minyue County has always been poor and is famous for its hundreds of thousands of mountains.
The demon knew this, so he wanted to exchange it with him.
But this demon thinks that he is a soft persimmon and easy to control.
Yi Bai's eyes gradually became unkind and he stared straight at the snake demon. Although it had transformed, he was not afraid.
He specializes in fighting demons and evil spells, and he also uses a Zen staff to teach Buddhism. Are you afraid that he will transform into a big demon?
