"Eastern Continent Strange Stories" records that two hundred years ago, there was a small country in the Eastern Continent, which was a land of water and swamps. Lotus flowers were planted everywhere in it, with a different plant in between.
Any plant that has twins is called Bingdi.
In the land of water and swamps, there are different plants growing, one plant growing four times, each with different appearance, and the flowers will bloom after a hundred years.
The flowers bloom in four phases, one white, one green, one pink, and one purple.
As soon as the flower blooms, the soul is ready; when the four spirits gather together, the golden elixir can be made.
People in the world call it the four phases of love.
There are other classics of the Sanqing Dao Sect that specifically record this matter, because this so-called land of water is the State of Zhao under the jurisdiction of the Sanqing Dao Sect.
As a disciple of the Sanqing Dao Sect, Lingchu naturally knew more about this matter.
For example, this extremely rare four-phase lotus flower. When it blooms, the four lotuses each turn into a soul, and finally merge into one and turn into a human form. This human form is born in the realm of golden elixir.
And because he grew up in the land of water all year round, he was closely related to the water veins of the land of Zhao, and shared weal and woe. As the spirit of vegetation, he was peaceful by nature. Later, he was taught by the Sanqing Taoist Sect, who was given the practice method and magical tools, and finally promised to live in the land of Zhao. In the swamp of Zhao State, he protected the tranquility of this swamp for the Sanqing Dao Sect.
Lingchu saw this record decades ago. At that time and now, this four-phase lotus plant should have stabilized the realm of Jindan long ago, and perhaps even reached a higher level.
With such a big demon guarding here, it stands to reason that there should be no demonic persecution like that in Hehua Village in the areas under the jurisdiction of Zhao State.
Lingchu was a little worried. Could there be something wrong with this extremely rare four-phase flower?
At the same time, when he entered the Zhao Kingdom, Lingchu had already sent a messenger talisman to the disciples of the Sanqing Dao Sect in charge of the Zhao Kingdom, asking for news. Calculating the time, he should almost receive a reply.
The reply came when Lingchu finished drinking the refreshing scented tea in his hand.
A small paper crane fluttered in from the window, blowing up a faint fragrance, then flew around Lingchu very spiritually, and finally landed slowly in Lingchu's outstretched palm.
When the paper crane spreads its wings, the message inside is revealed.
The person guarding the Zhao State was only a disciple of the Foundation Establishment Realm. After receiving the message from Lingchu, a true disciple of the Golden Core Realm, he quickly transferred all the information about Hehua Village, Lianhua County, Zhao State, compiled it into a book and sent it to Lingchu. This way.
It contains detailed information about Hehua Village.
Lingchu glanced at ten lines and memorized all the information in it, and already had some guesses in his mind.
In the evening, when several people who went out to inquire for information came back, Lingchu became more sure of his guess.
"Basically the young people in the town don't remember what happened in Hehua Village, but the old people still remember it. When they mentioned it, everyone kept it secret. No one was willing to mention it more. If they asked a few questions, they would chase people away with a broom."
"Those business people know a lot, and they can't hide their words. After a few taels of yellow rice wine, they said everything. Those who are doing business will avoid Hehua Village, saying that Hehua Village is too fierce... ....haunted.”
"I...went to the gamblers in the town. As long as you gave me money, they would tell you anything." Qi Xuanming knew the twists and turns and found out the most crucial information. , "A few years ago, the entire village of Hehua Village... The government sent people down, but when the news reached the county guard, they were stopped. They reported a raging epidemic, but no one was willing to investigate Hehua Village. The case even went around Hehua Village."
"When the incident in Hehua Village first happened, everyone was very scared, but a few months after the incident, the so-called monster didn't make any movement, so everyone felt that the murderous monster might have left Fuyu. The town, the gentlemen in the town invited a master to perform rituals, and this gradually stabilized the people's hearts in the town, and everyone did not continue to flee."
"After a few years, time can dilute everything. There have been no monsters hurting people in the entire Fuu Town, or even in the entire Lianhua County. The original fear and grief have been gradually forgotten by the people in the town over time. People are still here. Live well.”
It seems that the tragedy in Hehua Village was really just a raging epidemic.
When Qi Xuanming mentioned these things, the expression on his face was indifferent, sad, and indifferent. It was really weird.
He didn't want to see his hometown immersed in sadness and fear all the time, but when he saw that everyone seemed to have forgotten the tragedy of Hehua Village and lived their own lives happily, he felt a little bit Unspeakable emotions kept stirring in his chest, but he could never find an outlet to vent them.
Lingchu glanced at Qi Xuanming lightly, he was still young after all.
"Although the incident in Hehua Village was intercepted by the government and treated as an epidemic, the disciples of the Immortal Sect in Zhao State discovered something was wrong and came to investigate after the incident in Hehua Village. At that time, Hehua Village Although it has been dealt with by the government, as a cultivator, some things are still easy to discover."
"For example, the demonic energy left at the scene, as well as the traces left by some demon clans."
Lingchu turned his white palm, and the small paper crane flapped its wings in his palm, and some fonts slowly appeared in front of everyone.
"Any demon clan that cultivates in one place and can cultivate to the realm of golden elixir must already have territorial awareness and will not change its territory easily. However, in the Zhao Kingdom, there is only one place where a golden eagle can become a demon. , located in the north of Lianhua County and west of Fuli Town, on a cliff called Tianjue Peak, there is a cave built there, and inside it lives a great golden eagle demon of the Golden Core realm."
"It must be this monster!" Qi Xuanming's eyes were filled with dark tides. He held the demon-slaying sword that was originally carried on his back in his arms. His whole body was like an unsheathed sword, waiting at any moment. Waiting to pounce on the enemy and deliver the final blow.
Lingchu looked at the young man's tense figure, as if he had not seen or heard, and continued, "But, this golden eagle demon was giving birth when the incident in Hehua Village happened!"
"The demon clan must not move easily after giving birth, and it will be weak for a while. The monks guarding here also went to the golden eagle's nest to explore, and the golden eagle's cultivation level was only in the early stage of the golden elixir, and it was still very weak. , is not consistent with the evil spirit left on the golden eagle feathers in Hehua Village."
In other words, the golden eagle that attacked Hehua Village was not the golden eagle from Tianjue Peak.
This carving is not that carving.
Later, the disciples of the Sanqing Dao Sect who were stationed in Zhao State thoroughly inspected all the places in Zhao State, and found that the cultivation level was in the middle stage of the golden elixir, which was consistent with the feather demon aura left at the scene, and that their hands were contaminated with gold elixir of human life. Great Eagle Demon.
In the end, we can only suspect that the golden eagle demon that attacked Hehua Village was probably just passing through Zhao Country and committing evil deeds casually.
