Brother Snake was not originally named Snake. His original name was Li Yong. However, because he was recognized by the ancestors of the clan, he was given the surname 'Snake', so he was called Brother Snake by his peers.
There are many yin and voodoo practitioners in Nanling Mansion. Although the strong are respected, they also have their own rules. Every few years, there will be a grand gathering of voodoo and spirit fighting to select the king of his kind. The king can "poison" First name and last name.
The grandmother of 'Brother Snake' has the title of Snake King of 'Snake Gu', and is known as 'Misty Snake Grandma'. Each Gu King can designate a descendant as his successor, and she has her approval.
Therefore, a group of people naturally gathered around him. The reason was that he was the designated inheritor of Grandma Wuze Snake, and also because the 'gu' he raised was really powerful.
"Brother Snake, tell me, why did he buy so many lamps?" said a barefoot young man.
Nanling Prefecture has a lot of rain, so if young people here don't go up the mountain, they like to go barefoot, tie up their trousers, bare their chests, and wear their hair tied up high. Some people even shave their hair. , looking at it as a whole, there is a sense of wildness.
"Brother Snake, your aconite is already connected to your mind. Why don't you let it spy on you and see what it is doing?" someone said.
Li Yong looked at the speaker. His eyes were big and a little protruding. If you look closely, his pupils looked like snake eyes. When he was stared at, he would feel a sense of fear.
Li Yong didn't know whether those who encouraged him really didn't get the news or had other motives, but he was glad in his heart that he didn't have any direct conflict with the new teaching in the temple yesterday.
Therefore, he looked across these people and did not answer. He only poured the wine into the bowl next to him, poured out a black pill from a bottle, soaked it in the wine, and there was something in his sleeve. A jet-black snake with long chopsticks came out, and it got into the bowl of wine and soaked it.
The snake's scales opened slightly, and his mouth made a hissing sound. At the same time, Li Yong said coldly: "I don't need your advice on what I want to do."
He never felt that these people were as loyal and honest as they said.
Everyone in Wuze knows that dangerous things are always hidden in the darkness.
…
Ma Wutian led his tribe into the mountain.
The golden silkworm Gu raised by Ma Wuyang is not considered mainstream in the entire Nanling Mansion. Because of its early weakness, it is often difficult to protect itself in Nanling Mansion where poisonous insects and ghosts are everywhere.
However, after surviving the weak period in the early stage, its Gu insect's ability later caught up with the five major Gu insects. It is said that if the Golden Silkworm Gu can truly break out of its cocoon, it will be able to overpower the King of Gu.
Therefore, Ma Wutian can be regarded as a well-known figure in Wuze County, but at this time he went to the mountains.
He wanted to restore his golden silkworm Gu, so he called his clan members and went up the mountain overnight.
The place he wanted to go to was a place that only he knew, deep into the mountains, where the obstructive air was densely covered. Especially in the clear weather after the rain, the obstructive air rose with the mist.
"Uncle Wu, are you sure you are going in alone?" The person who spoke was the middle-aged Ma Yezhan, a nephew who sent Ma Wutian to him. He looked at Uncle Wu who was seriously injured overnight with some worry.
Over the years, Uncle Wu has gained many benefits for the family by relying on silkworm Gu. He has become a very important person in the clan from being an unknown person. However, the battles between Gu masters have always been so dangerous.
Ma Wutian let go of his hand. A gust of wind blew and he felt cold. Ma Yezhan immediately said: "Let Xiao Yi accompany you in."
The little ant he was talking about was the young man who often took care of Ma Wutian's daily life, and he knew that Uncle Wu was suspicious and didn't trust him to follow him.
"Okay, let Xiao Yi come over." Ma Wutian said. He also felt that his body was really injured. There was a difficult road there and he needed help.
"Xiao Yi, come here and accompany your fifth uncle in. You must take good care of your fifth uncle. If anything happens to your fifth uncle, I will blame you." Ma Yezhan said sternly.
"Yes, I will definitely take good care of my fifth uncle." Xiao Yi replied affirmatively.
"Let's go." Ma Wutian held a bamboo pole in one hand and carried a box wrapped in cloth on his back, heading towards the mist-shrouded canyon.
That is the Poisonous Chong Gorge, where poisonous substances are rampant.
Xiao Yi took the obstacle-removing elixir handed over by Ma Wutian, supported one of Ma Wutian's arms, and walked forward.
Ma Yezhan, who was standing there, wanted to explore the secret of his fifth uncle, but he didn't dare. Although the fifth uncle seemed to be seriously injured, the restless murderous intention came from the box on his back. , which made him dare not have any wrong thoughts.
"This new teaching is silent, but it turns out to be a silent and biting insect."
Ma Yegan thought in his mind, and decided to have someone keep a close eye on Zhao Fuyun.
By chance, Ma Wutian obtained a secret book on raising golden silkworm Gu. There was an article on how to recover the injured golden silkworm Gu and give him the opportunity to go further.
Before, his silkworm Gu was in the cocoon and never broke out, so he had already thought about it, but he didn't want artificial intervention to disturb the natural breeding of the silkworm Gu, but now was the time.
…
Zhao Fuyun communicated with Chijun all night and asked him to imbue some lamps with Chijun's divine power, but this was not enough. During the day the next day, he still celebrated the day secretly.
Then, he divided the forty-nine lamps into seven groups and placed them according to the position of the Big Dipper. Among them, the statue of Chijun was placed in his nave, which belongs to the southern position of Lihuo. The seven lamps surround the statue.
I don’t know whether it was the flames that made the statue seem to be burning, or whether the brilliance of the statue gave the flames an extra layer of sacred color.
The other six groups were also arranged in the room according to the star positions. Zhao Fuyun's bed was equivalent to the 'spoon' position among the seven stars.
He was lying on the bed, practicing Vipassana, and felt that his body and mind were relaxed, and there was a warm feeling all over his body, which was full of security.
This formation sounds simple, but in fact it is not simple at all.
The statue of Chijun that he had been cultivating for many years merged with himself into this formation. It looked like the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, but was actually nine stars. Man, statue, and formation were integrated into one.
The sky turned into night again, and there was a faint light coming out of this small courtyard, piercing the darkness.
The next day, after being sunny for a few days, it started to rain again.
Zhao Fuyun was sitting on a wicker chair in the central hall. He was reading the "Book of Origins of Spiritual Objects" which he copied in the mountain.
For a monk who has developed magic power, condensing Xuan Guang is a hurdle. But if he is more diligent and has more perseverance, most people can still condense Xuan Guang. After all, condensing Xuan Guang requires perseverance and diligence, but practicing magic requires more. Comprehension.
There is magic that can be understood with just a touch of magic, just like when a lamp is lit and flint is touched, sparks fall and the flame is ignited. Some people's character is like wet firewood, which cannot be understood no matter what.
In addition to understanding, building a foundation requires opportunity.
Building a foundation requires harmony between the inside and the outside.
Using one's own mysterious light magic power to combine with the true evil spirit to form a talisman and fall into the sea of viscera and qi, it is like planting a seed, thus causing the magic power to break through the shackles and form a qualitative change.
The true evil in the world is not separated from yin and yang, nor from the five elements, so most of them start from the five elements.
Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the five elements of true evil. If you get one of them, you can enter the sea of qi and build the foundation.
There are also wind, thunder, Yuan magnetism, ice, pure Yang, Xuanyin, poison barrier, etc., and some are mixed together. Some people even think that ghosts and gods can also be called "evil seeds", and by combining them, one can achieve Tao.
Therefore, some people classify "Gu" as a genus of ghosts and gods, a spiritual species. However, Zhao Fuyun, like the Taoist master in the mountain, feels that "Gu" is just a "weird species".
In a realm, mana cannot grow infinitely, it can only be purified. Of course, there are upper, middle and lower levels, but there will not be that kind of chasm-like change. However, from Xuanguang to Foundation Building, it is a qualitative change.
Although he came down here to teach under the orders of his master, he himself could never delay his practice.
To build the foundation, people cannot leave this place to find the true evil, so they can only condense it by themselves.
There are many practitioners in Tiandu Mountain. Although there is a place where true evil can naturally condense, it is also expensive. He does not have family support, so of course he cannot afford it, so he can only do it by himself.
The light on the oil lamp behind him was no longer an ordinary flame, but had the embryonic form of a true evil.
He sat there, smelling the smell of burning lamp oil in his nose. He thought that if sandalwood oil was put into the lamp, it would have a calming effect. However, he was not familiar with the place where he was born. There was no such thing in ordinary people's homes, so He can't buy it.
"The Classic of the Origin of Spiritual Objects" talks about the nature and functions of all things in the world. It also describes under what circumstances it will be combined with what kind of things and what changes will occur. Whether it is refining elixirs or refining treasures, you need to be familiar with it. The nature of spiritual things.
And when there was a Taoist master in the mountains explaining the medicinal properties of herbs, he listened very carefully.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the wind picked up. The small courtyard was already shrouded in rain and fog, and the sky outside the courtyard could not be seen clearly. The rain and fog blocked the light and sight.
…
A slender white cat with pointed ears was jumping under the eaves. She tried her best to avoid the heavy rain. However, no matter how careful she was, her fur was still wet by the heavy rain, which made her very uncomfortable.
The white hair on her body was dripping with water, and she shook off the rainwater on her body. She began to identify the direction. It may be that the rain was too heavy and the rain and fog were thick. She could not identify the direction. The houses in her eyes were looming, and the entire Wuze County was actually... It seems to be in a strange situation.
She suddenly turned around alertly and saw a black figure emerging from the water mist outside the eaves behind her.
Although most of the sight of the white cat was obscured by rain and fog, it was so close that he could see it clearly.
She saw that it was a man with disheveled hair, wearing ragged clothes. This 'man' was crawling on the water-filled ground, which was extremely strange.
The white cat jumped towards the wall. This was just a bungalow. It just scurried on the wall and borrowed the ground, and then it was already on the eaves between the wall and the tiles.
When he turned back and looked down, he found that the disheveled 'person' was already lying on the place where he was standing just now, looking up.
She saw that this was a woman with a swollen and pale face. Under her wet hair, there was a pair of eyes, only the whites of the eyes could be seen but no black eyes, looking at the white cat on the wall eerily.
This is a ghost, White Cat can be sure.
The moment she made eye contact with the female ghost, she felt like her soul was being frightened.
The white cat's body trembled, the hair on its back exploded, and it let out a "meow". It actually produced an evil aura similar to the power of a tiger. Instead of retreating, it advanced forward and jumped from the wall beam, half of its body under the eaves. The female ghost in the muddy water had a damp and evil energy rising up from her long wet black hair, trying to engulf the white cat like a black wave.
The white cat seemed to be frightened, and made a "meow" sound again. When she was about to be wrapped in the black hair, her pair of claws grabbed quickly, and there was a spiritual light on her claws, and as she moved The sharp claws cut through the wavy black hair.
The black hair was broken inch by inch under the cat's claws, and the white cat got out of the broken hole, but it did not run away. Instead, the moment it landed, it nimbly turned and jumped up, and pounced on the female ghost's head and back. On the cat's head, her claws were scratching the female ghost's head crazily. The female ghost's head was scratched to pieces under her claws, and her black hair was scattered, but strangely wrapped around the white cat's body.
The white cat sensed the danger. She turned around and ran into the wind and rain, running along the muddy alley. Her soles stepped in the muddy water, but she felt that the water had some kind of suction, clinging to her feet, and there was a coldness through it. Her cat's paw penetrated into her body.
Her heart was beating violently, and a strong sense of danger surged into her heart. She rushed towards the wall of the house next to her. The moment she jumped up, black waves suddenly rose in the ditch on the eaves of the house next to her. A black-haired man appeared in the ditch. The woman with disheveled clothes turned up from it.
The weird black hair was like a black snake wave, rolling towards the white cat and locking the space for her to leap upward. However, the white cat was extremely agile. While in the air, it kicked off the wall with all four legs. Sliding out diagonally, a gust of wind seemed to surge around her body, wrapping her around her and running sideways on the wall.
Kankan dodged the strange waves emerging from the rain and ran quickly along the wall.
She found that she seemed to be lost in the dirty and smelly alleys of Wuze County, which was full of wind and rain.
She was not familiar with this place, and she couldn't see far in the wind and rain. All the houses were covered by the wind and rain.
She briefly got rid of the female ghost, immediately jumped up the wall and got into a house.
A damp, musty smell hit her face, and she felt extremely disgusted in her heart. The place was hot and humid, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
With her eyes in the darkness, she could see clearly that there were large urns in this room, and she landed on the lid of one of the large urns.
At this moment, a big python jumped out of the big urn in the middle and bit her.
The white fur all over the white cat's body exploded, it jumped up in surprise, ran up the wall again, and got out through the gap between the beam and the wall.
"Where did the wildcat come from?"
She just got through the wall and came to another room when she heard the voice of an old woman.
As soon as the sound came out, she saw a red threadworm in her eyes, shooting towards her like an arrow.
A gust of wind blew up from her body. She folded her body in the void and escaped from the red threadworm. It ran up the wall and burrowed into the wind and rain outside.
This room is actually more dangerous than outside.
Her whole body was already soaked, and at this moment, a chill penetrated her body.
At this moment, she saw a man standing there at the entrance of the alley. It was gloomy and could not be seen clearly in the rain. The man was dragging an iron chain in his hand and walking over step by step. The chain was dragging on the ground and making a sound. A harsh and terrifying sound.
She smelled a strong smell of corpse.
This is not a human being, but a 'corpse puppet' raised by humans.
At the same time, she discovered that the female water ghost had actually caught up with her in the running water in the alley.
And on the roof, at some point, there was something like a monkey squatting there, with gloomy and cold eyes.
The white cat's spiritual sense was keen, and he felt that he was vaguely surrounded.
She couldn't help but think: "In this Wuze County, are all the people in this county evil heretics?"
She found herself trapped in the town of Wuze County, not knowing where to get out.
At this moment, her ears twitched twice, and she faintly seemed to hear the sound of chanting.
"Is this, Chijun?"
She immediately ran towards the direction where the chanting sound was coming from.
