The sea of clouds on the peak noticed the extraordinary aura below, and began to surge continuously. There was obviously no wind at this moment, and the whirling sound of the surrounding leaves spread to the distance.
The creatures playing in the mountains seemed to feel something at this moment, and their eyes fell on the southeast, which was exactly where Ye Qin was!
Countless weasels and foxes emerged from the grass, and the sound of thin strings was heard all the time, all of which were the sounds of dead branches and leaves being trampled.
The apes in the trees were crying incessantly, and countless monkeys were swinging on the trees, drifting towards the southeast.
A large dark cloud floated from the sky not far away. If you look closely, you will see that it is not a black cloud at all, but hundreds of birds gathering together and flying across the sky with a roar.
Among them are sparrows, cuckoos, crows and even large birds such as owls. The number of species is jaw-dropping.
The sky was bustling with activity, and the movement on the ground was not idle either.
The black river rolled again, and came from all directions, densely packed with animals. This time there were more animals than before, and it could be said that it was even worse.
There were even some who came from other mountains.
Ye Qin is now deeply cultivated and has reached the realm of Yuanshen. The range of his spiritual power is as vast as the sea. Not only this mountain top, but also this area has long been trapped in it.
Just as the black beast tide was moving, a high-pitched tiger roar came from the mountains, and the ground shook in an instant, heading towards these animals not far away.
"Roar!"
This roar sounds extremely ferocious, but in fact it doesn't have much malice. The bright yellow shadow is like a whirlwind, and the bright beast eyes are a bit narrow.
The originally well-ordered black river was suddenly thrown into pieces by this giant beast, and some small animals were even knocked to the side by the strong wind.
The tall and eye-catching tiger jumped up from behind and jumped to the front of the team, firmly occupying the first position, and even twitched its butt proudly, looking very proud.
The animals behind him looked speechless.
The mean tiger was the Siberian tiger brought back by Ye Qin. How could such a good thing exist without it?
There was a moment of commotion in the queue, and all the chirping voices were accusing Tiger of jumping in line.
But Siberian tigers are thick-skinned and can jump in line quickly due to their ability, so why not?
The brown figure rushed out again like an arrow from the string. The closest animal to the Siberian tiger was a fox. It immediately ate a mouthful of dust and stared dumbly at the shadow of a horse riding ahead.
How could the fox endure such anger? It waved its claws and screamed.
The black river regained order again and headed towards where Ye Qin was. This time they ran faster, especially the leading fox, who had a strong tendency to compete with the Siberian tiger.
The Siberian tiger was the first to come over, and Ye Qin was not surprised. After all, it had survived the thunder before, received nourishment from the energy of heaven and earth, had already opened up spiritual wisdom, and was stronger than ordinary animals.
But I didn't expect other animals to come over quickly.
The leader of the fox was panting, the hair around his face was dusty, and he glared at the Siberian tiger fiercely, which made Ye Qin laugh.
Ye Qin had preached once before, and some creatures in the mountains also listened. This time the scale was larger than the last time.
Looking at it, it is so densely packed that it is almost impossible to see the end.
Thanks to Ye Qin's transformation of Longyuan Mountain, the spiritual energy on the mountain continues to increase. There are no special natural disasters or natural enemies, and humans do not dare to disturb them, so these animals can thrive.
Of course, there are also births, old age, sickness and death. These are the laws of nature. Not all animals will have weak intelligence, but in general, everything is developing in a prosperous direction.
In ancient times, there were three lectures by Hongjun and Zixiao Palace, but now it is the second lecture by Ye Qin.
During the first sermon, he opened up the spiritual world for the animals and planted a seed of seeking the truth.
Now giving his second sermon, Ye Qin hopes that animals can turn into demons, embark on the path of cultivation, and get rid of ignorance!
Ye Qin hovered on a huge rock, with the Siberian tiger standing next to him like a loyal guardian, his beast eyes scanning the animals in the forest.
The other animals stood in a very orderly manner, straightened their little bodies, and looked energetic. Although there were many animals, the team was not chaotic.
The hazy fog centered on Ye Qin, spread towards the surroundings, and soon wrapped it up. If someone accidentally stepped into it, they would find that deep in the jungle, the vast fog rolled like ocean waves, and countless animals stood tall. Among them, they all looked at the green snake on the boulder, their eyes full of piety and fear.
None of the animals made a sound, for fear of disturbing Ye Qin, and even their breathing could not be detected.
At this moment, the wind and clouds stopped, and time seemed to have pressed the pause button. The entire mountain forest was so quiet that you could even hear the sound of a pin falling. There was no other living thing in the mountain.
Because all the creatures gathered around Ye Qin and acted as if they were listening.
"The way of nature is quiet, so all things in heaven and earth are born. The way of heaven and earth is soaked, so yin and yang prevail. Yin and yang push each other, and the changes are smooth."
"Therefore, the sage knows that the way of nature cannot be violated, so he controls it. The way of ultimate tranquility cannot be matched by law and history. There is a strange weapon in love, which gives rise to all phenomena, the eight trigrams and armor, the hidden secrets of magic and ghosts. The art of overcoming yin and yang is clear It’s almost as good as an elephant.”
A low humming sound came from the depths of the fog, seemingly ethereal and inaudible, like a fairy listening to floating among the mountains and forests, being carried by the breeze and clearly reaching the ears of every animal.
Every word and every sentence is full of endless mystery and contains ever-changing truths, making these animals endlessly memorable.
If you understand one sentence or even the meaning of a few words, you can benefit them throughout your life.
Some animals were thoughtful, sitting cross-legged like humans, some were scratching their heads and scratching their heads, thinking about the meaning of the awkward words, and some animals showed a look of astonishment.
They have different expressions, and their furry animal faces actually show rich expressions that only humans can have. They are like all living beings, displayed one by one in front of Ye Qin's eyes.
Even the lazy Siberian tiger sitting next to him sat upright at this moment, his big round ears stood up, and he listened carefully to Ye Qin's words.
There is a voice in the dark telling it that these things are very important to it, and can even bring about earth-shaking changes in the tiger's life in the future.
Ye Qin's sermon gradually became better, and the fog became thicker and thicker. The shadows of these animals were looming, and they seemed to have merged with the fog.
The mist is deep and obscures the secrets of the sky. The mountains and mountains are full of vitality and filled with endless mystery.
As time went by, the night deepened, and soon the sun rose again. A red sun slowly jumped out, dragging its colorful tail, smearing wantonly on the sky, finally taking on beautiful colors.
The colorful clouds were brilliant, lighting up the small village that was still sleeping.
The village chief climbed out of bed and looked at the bright scene on the horizon. Then he looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already past seven o'clock. He got up a little late today.
"It's really strange. The big rooster usually crows before dawn. Why is there no movement today? Could it be that I was too asleep to hear it?"
There is no custom of setting alarm clocks in mountain villages. Every household has a rooster that crows before dawn, which can be said to be more punctual than an alarm clock.
The village chief thought it was too noisy before, but now he is a little uncomfortable not hearing it crow.
The village chief hurriedly packed up and prepared to go to the temple to burn incense. When he walked out of the door, he met Lao Zhang carrying a hoe and said hello: "Lao Zhang, why did you just go out?"
At this usual time, Lao Zhang would have already gone to work in the fields.
Lao Zhang was a little embarrassed, "The rooster didn't crow at home, so I accidentally overslept."
The two of them also met several villagers along the way, all complaining about getting up late today, all because their roosters did not crow.
However, this is only an isolated phenomenon. After all, many people have developed a biological clock. Even if the rooster does not crow, they will wake up at that time.
But it's strange that the rooster doesn't crow, and it's not just the roosters of one family.
Lao Zhang said worriedly: "Yesterday, my rooster was still fine. His voice was full of energy, and he howled all morning. Today it has become like this. Something must have happened."
The village chief walked around and discovered that not only the roosters raised by his family, but also all the roosters in the village seemed to have been poisoned and their throats were muted. They usually crow happily, but now they can't make any sound.
"Is the rooster sick?"
"Is there still a strange disease that prevents me from crowing?"
Soon the attentive villagers discovered that not only the roosters, but also other livestock, such as cattle, sheep, donkeys and dogs, were incredibly quiet.
Apart from the sound of human voices, there was no movement of other creatures.
When the villagers rushed over to check, the animals were kneeling and sitting cross-legged on the ground, their eyes blank, staring in a certain direction motionless, as if people were in a daze.
He looked very energetic, but he didn't move or scream. No matter how the villagers shouted or made noise, they didn't react at all.
Lao Zhang was puzzled, "What's wrong with these animals? Why do they seem to be thinking? They look weird."
"The direction they are staring at seems to be Longyuan Mountain."
The village chief seemed to have thought of something and slapped his head suddenly, "Look at my memory, do you still remember the time when the animals kept neighing?"
"Why don't you remember? We almost saw the mountain god at that time. I think that's why those livestock made such a movement."
"Yes, Lao Li also had close contact with the messenger of the mountain god, which makes us jealous to death."
Soon other villagers also reacted, "Village chief, are you saying that the reason why these livestock don't make noise now is because of the mountain god?"
The village elder nodded thoughtfully, "It's just natural. Who else has such great ability except the mountain god? These animals must have sensed something, so they didn't make a sound, so as not to disturb the mountain god."
The abnormalities of the livestock in the village are all related to the mountain god, which has been shown several times before.
Everyone nodded, feeling that what the village chief said was very reasonable. In order to verify his suspicion, the village chief led some villagers towards Longyuan Mountain.
The road was quiet, without any movement. The mountains and forests were dense. Normally, you could hear a lot of insects and birds chirping. It was extremely lively, but now they disappeared without a trace.
Not a single bird can be seen in the sky, and not even an ant can be seen on the ground!
It seems as if all life in this world except human beings has disappeared.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, the blue mountain peaks are reflected, like a huge emerald inlaid in it, but they are silent.
A silence filled the air, and the closer they got to the mountain peak, the more inexplicable fear they felt in their hearts.
The village chief couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and walked more slowly, as did everyone else, fearing to disturb the mountain god.
Originally, there were many people discussing on the road, but now the team was very quiet.
When they arrived, looking at the scene not far away, everyone looked stunned and couldn't believe what they saw.
The location of Longyuan Mountain is completely empty. Only the fence and warning signs previously set up are still standing there, making it look very lonely.
Where did such a big mountain go?
There are many mountains nearby, and the peaks stretch into the mountains. Longyuan Mountain is the highest mountain among them. Now it suddenly disappeared, as if it was cut off from a perfect picture scroll, and it was extremely abrupt.
The village chief took a breath and couldn't help but rub his eyes. The others looked no better than him and stammered: "Village, village chief, are we in the wrong place?"
The villagers are familiar with the road to Longyuan Mountain and can find it with their eyes closed. It is absolutely impossible to take the wrong road.
"Where did the mountain go? Is it possible that it can still grow legs on its own? I saw it just now!"
"Could it be that the mountain god moved the mountain away?"
"The question is why did the mountain god move the mountain for no reason? Could it be that we did something to make him unhappy?"
For a moment, the villagers were uneasy, with frightened expressions on their faces, as if the sky was about to fall, "Does the mountain god don't want us anymore?"
The village chief looked pale, fell to his knees with a plop, clasped his hands piously, closed his eyes and muttered something.
"Master Mountain God, if there is anything we have done wrong, I still hope you can issue a divine decree. We will definitely change it. Never abandon your people."
They have long been accustomed to Longyuan Mountain and the existence of the mountain god. For devout believers, if the god they believe in abandons them, it will be even more uncomfortable than killing themselves.
Just when everyone was kneeling down and muttering words, Wu Yuan's confused voice came from the side.
"Village chief, what are you doing?"
The village chief opened his eyes and saw Wu Yuan standing next to him with a bamboo basket on his back. He could vaguely see the green plants inside. He must have just returned from collecting herbs from the next mountain.
Wu Yuan was planning to take a shortcut and take this path back to the village, but he never expected to see the village chief and others kneeling here, muttering that he was guilty and hoping that the mountain god could forgive him.
The village chief's eyes were red and there were faint tears, and his voice choked with sobs: "Longyuan Mountain is gone, the mountain god has abandoned us."
? ? ?
Wu Yuan slowly raised a question mark above his head, looked at the village chief in confusion, pointed to the front and said: "Village chief, what are you talking about? Longyuan Mountain is right there."
The village chief and other villagers looked in the direction he pointed.
"This is impossible, they all disappeared just now——"
All they could see was the hazy mountains in the distance, the lush green mountains, all covered with a layer of white gauze, clearly still standing there, as if everything they had just seen was their illusion.
The village chief's words stopped abruptly, and even the tears in the corners of his eyes hung on his eyelashes in embarrassment.
Everyone was in a daze, and after taking a few more glances to confirm that the mountain peak was still there, they felt relieved.
"It's strange. We all saw it at that time, how could it happen?"
The village chief didn't know what he thought of, so he lowered his voice and said, "Let's speak in a lower voice."
Other villagers also realized that the tall and thick man's voice sounded as thin as a woman's.
Only Wu Yuan, who was collecting herbs on the hilltop next door, didn't know what was going on. Seeing their mysterious behavior, his expression suddenly became indescribable.
While the village chief and the villagers were whispering to each other, they looked at Longyuan Mountain from time to time to make sure that there was no change in the mountain peak, and the stone hanging in their hearts was finally put down.
The villager patted his chest with a frightened expression on his face, "It was so scary just now. I almost thought Longyuan Mountain had really disappeared."
"No, I thought the mountain god was really angry."
"If it happens a few more times, I'll probably have a heart attack, but what happened just now?"
Everyone was talking about it, but Wu Yuan, an outsider, was confused and didn't know what was going on. He finally couldn't help but ask:
"What on earth are you talking about? Why can't I understand it?"
"Something happened in the village just now, so we came to Longyuan Mountain to take a look. Who would have thought that such a huge mountain has disappeared!"
After listening to the villagers narrate the cause and effect of the incident, Wu Yuan finally understood why they behaved like that just now, and couldn't help but look confused.
"But when I just came here, everything was quite normal. Longyuan Mountain was standing there properly."
If the villagers were dazzled, the scene was so real and shocking that it didn't look like an illusion at all, and since so many people saw it, it cannot be said that everyone had a problem with their eyes.
But if it wasn't an illusion, why Long Yuan suddenly disappeared and then suddenly appeared later is really puzzling.
The villagers couldn't figure out the reason for this, but combined with the weirdness of the livestock in the village, there was also the unusual atmosphere along the way.
All this must have something to do with the mountain god.
The village chief waved his hand, "Forget it, if you don't understand, let's not think about it. As long as Longyuan Mountain is still there and the mountain god is still there, it doesn't matter. Let's not disturb the mountain god."
The village chief's eyes fell on Wu Yuan, "By the way, Doctor Wu, don't you usually go there for several days to collect medicine? Why are you back so soon?"
Wu Yuan waved his hand, "I saw many small animals scurrying eastward in the mountains. I was worried that something would happen, so I went down the mountain early."
Before the mountain god showed up, Wu Yuan would always go to Longyuan Mountain to collect herbs. When the mountain god appeared later, in order to avoid disturbing him, Wu Yuan would go around and go to the nearest Shuangshi Mountain to collect herbs.
The village chief thought thoughtfully, "To the east?"
The mountains are all interconnected. To the east of Shuangshi Mountain is Longyuan Mountain.
If there were still doubts before, then based on what Wu Yuan said, this movement must have been caused by the mountain god in all likelihood.
Others also reacted and looked at the mountains in the distance.
There is a hazy white mist between the mountains, and the outline of the mountain peaks becomes more and more blurred. Dots of green can be vaguely seen, giving an unreal feeling.
It seems that in the next second, it will soar away and disappear into the thousands of miles of clouds.
Maybe Longyuan Mountain has always been there, and there is no so-called sudden disappearance and reappearance. The reason why the village chief and the others saw such a scene just now was because their eyes were temporarily covered by some mysterious force.
"What do you think the mountain god is doing?"
What kind of movement could actually make the entire mountain disappear.
The village chief, Wu Yuan, and several villagers suddenly felt an indescribable emotion in their hearts, and the faint purple energy in their bodies was awakened at this moment.
Waves of scriptures came from the wind, like the voice of the gods descending from the sky.
"It seems like someone is talking again?"
The village chief listened carefully, but the sound of the words was too vague, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the sound of wind or human voices, or whether it was just their illusion.
Everyone was at a loss. There seemed to be some kind of guidance. They subconsciously sat cross-legged and calmed down. They tried hard to capture the misty movement, but they still couldn't hear it clearly. However, they persevered.
The mountain breeze blew by, and the few people looked like sculptures, their bodies unmoving, completely in meditation.
The avenue is silent and the road is nameless.
The sermon in the mountain continued, a deep male voice floated in the sea of fog, and countless whispers came in the wind, like the murmur of the avenue, causing extraordinary ripples.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sound finally stopped, the wind blew in the clouds, the shadows of the trees swayed, and the still picture finally came to life.
But the animals still kept their original posture motionless. At first glance, they looked like pieces of wood. They were immersed in the content of Ye Qin's sermon and never recovered.
A few tiny bits of light fell into the originally ignorant and turbid beast pupils, gradually forming a prairie fire, and it was out of control.
It felt like a confused head suddenly became very clear-headed, and understood many things invisibly, like a sudden enlightenment.
Once the seeds of spiritual cultivation are planted, sooner or later they will take root and sprout, and then grow into towering trees. However, everything is a matter of time and understanding.
The beast's eyes were burning, staring at Ye Qin intently.
Ye Qin's spiritual power swept through and he knew which animals had opened their spiritual intelligence. The furry beasts' faces were even more lively. If the layer of fur was removed, they would look just like humans.
Some animals have opened up their spiritual intelligence, and those that have already been born with spiritual intelligence are even more intelligent and almost demonic!
Longyuan Mountain is already full of spiritual energy. Living in such an environment, the bodies of these animals are constantly being nourished. Coupled with Ye Qin's preaching, he is now in the realm of Yuanshen, and his cultivation and state of mind are all different. The content described is even more profound, and it is not surprising that these animals can achieve such a good fortune.
All in all, Ye Qin was very satisfied with the result, and his painstaking efforts were not in vain. His mouth went dry when he talked about it.
"Under my influence, some of you have become spiritually enlightened. I hope you will cherish this hard-won opportunity. God has the virtue of a good life, and the earth has the depth to carry things. I hope that you will be virtuous and good from now on, and you will not be moved. Evil thoughts.”
The world is benevolent. Whether it is Ye Qin or these animals, they will follow the right path in the future, not some evil way. Doing good to the world and doing good to yourself is also good.
These animals have opened their spiritual wisdom and begun to practice. If they commit too many crimes, it will be of no use to their practice. If there are too many karma, they will be tolerated by heaven and earth, and they will be liquidated one by one when they go through the tribulation in the future.
And as their guide, Ye Qin naturally has the need to restrain these animals. There is cause and effect. If these animals are contaminated with evil, Ye Qin may also be affected.
Facing Ye Qin's earnest teachings, these animals nodded one after another, eager to raise their paws and swear an oath in front of him.
"And some people who have not been taught need not be discouraged. When the time comes, fate will naturally come."
The animal, which was originally a little depressed, couldn't help but pricked up its ears after hearing these words, and its eyes became high-spirited again.
Needless to say, the Siberian tiger, after this education and enlightenment, his IQ has improved a lot, his eyes are spinning constantly, and the hair on his body seems to be glowing.
Even those who have not turned on their intelligence have gained a lot of benefits this time, and all animals have benefited a lot.
"Stay with those with full intelligence, while the others disperse first, digest today's content, and wait for the opportunity to come in the future."
The animals all knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Qin in unison. Although they could not speak human words, their respect for Ye Qin reached its peak at this moment.
The scene of countless animals worshiping was very spectacular. In the hearts of these animals, there was no difference between Ye Qin and the gods in the sky.
After hearing Ye Qin's words, the animals got up one after another and dispersed reluctantly.
The originally neat and orderly black river surged again, heading in all directions.
The birds flapped their wings and flew away, hovering in the sky for several times before disappearing into the distance. The monkeys also swayed on the trees and swayed into the distance.
As the animals left, the mountains became lively again, but there were still a few around Ye Qin. A rough count, probably dozens.
"You and I are destined to be together. It's not easy to get to this point. Even so, I might as well give you another blessing."
Ye Qin thought, and soon a simple and compact tripod appeared on the ground, as well as a variety of medicinal materials. To this day, he has not refined pills for a long time, but now his pill-refining skills can be said to be extremely proficient. .
Under the control of mental power, all the medicinal materials were quickly put into the cauldron. As the flames burned, Ye Qin added the Qi of Heaven and Earth. The essence of life was extracted and fully combined with the spiritual energy.
Within a moment, the refreshing fragrance of medicine floated in the mountains and fields, and a faint greenery seeped out from the cauldron.
The Siberian tiger and other creatures didn't know what Ye Qin was going to do, so they stayed beside him very quietly, but soon they couldn't sit still because the smell was so unique.
The Siberian tiger stared unblinkingly, its laughter almost flowing into a stream. The same was true for other animals, with longing written on their furry faces.
It's like a traveler walking in the desert sees an oasis spring; a person who has been hungry for a long time sees delicious food.
They had never behaved like this when Ye Qin was refining the elixir, but now the contents of the cauldron were very attractive to them.
If Ye Qin wasn't still here, I'm afraid these would have pounced on him long ago.
Ye Qin is now in the realm of Yuanshen, and the speed and even efficiency of refining medicine are much faster than before.
"I didn't expect it to be successful so quickly."
Dozens of pills slowly floated out from the cauldron. The stars were dotted with strange brilliance. The pill patterns surrounded them, but the flowing aura was a bit strange.
The breath in the air was inexplicably stagnant. With the birth of this elixir, even the sky became dark for a moment, causing muffled thunder, and the mountain wind blew the leaves constantly swaying.
But it wasn't something that was against the heavens, so this kind of vision didn't last long, but it dissipated in a moment.
Under the control of Ye Qin's mental power, the pills fell into the hands of many animals one after another.
These animals suddenly found a treasure!
"This pill is called the 'Demon Transformation Pill'. It can assist you in completely cultivating yourself into a demon and start the first step of your cultivation!"
If ordinary animals want to enter cultivation, it is not enough to open up their spiritual intelligence. After all, they are not Ye Qin, they do not have that kind of understanding, and they do not have the opportunity to enter samadhi and realize enlightenment.
Therefore, they still need to use the power of elixirs to completely open up the meridians in the body and remove ignorant impurities before they can officially absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The whole process can be said to be extremely complicated.
Ye Qin did not give them the elixir before, not only because they were not cultivated enough to refine the elixir, but also because the animals' bodies could not withstand the power of the elixir, and they would explode and die if they swallowed it.
The situation is different now. After being nourished by spiritual energy, their bodies have been transformed invisibly. In addition, listening to Ye Qin's sermons has inspired their spiritual wisdom, and they are finally able to independently guide the power brought by the elixir.
That's why Ye Qin refined the Demon Transformation Pill to help them completely embark on the path of cultivation.
"Ouch!"
The Siberian tiger is impatient and can't wait to swallow it. A warm current fills its limbs. Every pore in its body is opened, and it can clearly feel the aura of the world around it.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin, revealing a bright smile, but the bloody mouth looked a bit ferocious.
However, the Siberian tiger soon stopped laughing. There was so much spiritual energy flowing in that it couldn't control it for a while.
The spiritual energy rushed in, constantly washing its meridians, and the original comfort turned into pain. The Siberian tiger howled in pain and rolled on the ground.
"I forgot to mention that this process may be a bit painful, so you have to be mentally prepared."
? ? ?
The Siberian tiger's eyes widened, accusing Ye Qin of why he didn't tell him earlier.
The other animals that had not yet had time to swallow the elixir looked at the miserable appearance of the Siberian tiger and smiled like humans, gloating about the misfortune.
Some of them laughed; some raised their fingers and pointed; some whispered to each other.
Already quite demonic!
