The green mountains overlap one another, like the undulating waves of the sea, turbulent and majestic. When the first ray of sunlight fell on the top of the mountain, Ye Qin looked at the sea of clouds rushing below him, and a rising sun slowly rose.
He seemed to feel something. He looked to the east and saw the vast purple air, stretching for miles, surrounded by countless auspicious clouds. Under the refraction of the sun, it flowed down like a waterfall.
The roar of tigers came in the wind, causing countless birds to fly in circles.
A bright yellow shadow seemed to be coming through the clouds, and every hair on its body was emitting an inexplicable light. It was so fast that even the wind in the mountains could not catch up with it, and it was accompanied by a rough laughter.
"Your Grandpa Tiger, I'm finally back!"
"Hey, haha, I can finally speak, but I was suffocated to death."
The Siberian tiger was the first to survive the catastrophe, so it was also the first to return to Longyuan Mountain. Looking at the green shadow in front of it, the Siberian tiger immediately became quite well-behaved.
He bowed devoutly to Ye Qin and kowtowed heavily, "Thank you, Master, for your enlightenment and giving this disciple this blessing."
If it weren't for Ye Qin, how could he have the experience of being reborn now? I'm afraid it would have been captured by the zoo and locked up in that small world.
How can it be like becoming a demon clan now, and even being able to speak human words? It is simply carefree. From now on, nothing can restrain it in the world.
Ye Qin nodded, "Not bad."
He was not surprised that the first Siberian tiger succeeded in overcoming the disaster, but he didn't know who the second one would be.
His eyes fell on the distance, and he saw a red cloud speeding towards this side. The red cloud had a strange shape, like a fire, and formed a sharp contrast with the green mountain peaks.
"Chirp!"
A crisp bird song burst out in the air. The red bird flapped its wings and landed in front of Ye Qin. Its flaming red feathers were dazzling. The most outstanding thing was the tail feather, which was shaped like a flame and burned blazingly.
"Meet the Master."
The Siberian tiger looked at the gorgeous fire-tailed sparrow in front of him. It was really different now from before. Not only had its body grown several times, but its entire appearance had also changed, like a king in the sky.
"Little red-haired bird, you look quite majestic."
The fire-tailed sparrow rolled its eyes, spit out a fireball unceremoniously from its mouth, landed on the Siberian tiger's beard, and ignited instantly.
In the past, when it was still a little bird, this smelly tiger would often pluck its feathers secretly, saying that its feathers were beautiful, so it was necessary to pluck them out and watch them carefully.
The Fire-Tailed Bird was deeply hurt and disgusted by this kind of banditry, and it couldn't beat it, but now it was different. It successfully survived the catastrophe.
The Siberian tiger let out a low growl from its throat, "Red-haired bird, you have succeeded in overcoming the tribulation, and your temper has increased. You are very angry. Believe it or not, Uncle Tiger, I will beat you into a bald bird!"
Not to be outdone, Yan Fire Tailed Bird said, "Then I will burn you into a bald tiger!"
"Okay, it seems you forgot how I plucked Yi's feathers."
The two monsters were quarreling with each other, and even got into a fight.
Ye Qin did not say anything to stop them. The Siberian Tiger and the Flame-tailed Sparrow both had a sense of proportion and would stop fighting even if they were fighting. They had just overcome the catastrophe and successfully broke through, so they could take this opportunity to test their strength.
The red Suzaku phantom fell from the sky, its gorgeous feathers exuding supreme pressure. It faced the white tiger phantom in pairs. The light revealed in the tiger's eyes made people dare not look directly.
The Flame-tailed Sparrow and the Siberian Tiger were also at war with each other, and the two sides soon got into a melee. For a while, tiger hair and feathers were flying all over the sky, red and white lights intertwined, and even the air became distorted.
However, both of them had a tacit understanding to stay away from Ye Qin, without affecting his side, and they also controlled the intensity very accurately to minimize the damage to the surrounding environment.
In Ye Qin's eyes, the fight between the two little ones was like playing house.
Soon the third monster also returned to Longyuan Mountain. It was a tall elk with a gentle temperament. It bowed to Ye Qin, reciting honorifics and looking full of respect, but its attention was very fast. I was attracted by the Siberian tiger and the brilliant fire-tailed sparrow.
A flash of astonishment flashed across the amber beast eyes, and he couldn't help but ask: "Master, what's wrong with them?"
Ye Qin shook his head and said, "Ask them yourself."
The elk has a plain nature and does not like these fights, but it does not prevent it from watching them with great interest.
Then came the fourth and fifth ones
Weasels, foxes, and turtles all appeared one after another.
Because of the return of these monsters, Longyuan Mountain became lively again, with endless chirping sounds. After bowing and thanking Ye Qin, they were all attracted by the battle not far away.
The weasels and foxes rolled their eyes, fearing that the world would not be in chaos. One moment they cheered for the Siberian tiger to show its majesty as the king of the mountain, and the next moment they ran to the fire-tailed sparrow to prevent it from losing its reputation as a bird.
The big turtle has a calm personality, has the longest lifespan, and is among the best in understanding among all monsters. He is like an old scholar, giving advice to the Siberian tiger and the fire-tailed sparrow from time to time.
Ye Qin took the time to listen to a few words and found that they were quite reasonable. It seemed that in the future when he was away, Da Gui could be responsible for teaching.
There was no winner between the Siberian tiger and the fire-tailed sparrow in the end.
In the past, the Siberian tiger relied on its high cultivation level and was used to being majestic in the mountains. Now everyone has successfully overcome the tribulation. Many monsters have joined in the melee. They want to take this opportunity to take revenge and give the Siberian tiger some color. look.
However, given the strength of the Siberian tigers here, with one enemy against many, they managed to draw a tie. Both sides had many disadvantages, but they were minor injuries and not serious.
After all, they have survived the catastrophe, shed their mortal bodies, and become real monsters. It is difficult for ordinary injuries to leave scars on their fur.
The Siberian tiger was still talking rudely, "Look at you, you are so shameless. There are so many monsters beating me, but I haven't won yet. When I go out in the future, let alone our Longyuan Mountain, let alone Master's apprentice." .”
For a while, many monsters cast vicious glances, looking at his posture as if they wanted to fight again.
"What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up. If you have the ability, keep beating me up. I like the way you can't stand me and can't kill me."
Ye Qin suddenly couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. No wonder the Siberian tiger has attracted so much hatred. It's just such a mouth and a mean character. It's really not unjust.
Maybe one day in the mountains and forests, other monsters would put sacks on them and beat them up.
"Okay - you are all my disciples. Now that I see that you have successfully overcome the tribulation, I am very happy."
These monsters did not live up to Ye Qin's expectations. All monsters returned safely, and some even stimulated the power of their own blood under the catastrophe. They will surely have great fortunes in the future.
Hearing Ye Qin speak, the originally lively demons instantly became quiet. Their beastly eyes stared at Ye Qin unblinkingly, listening to his instructions.
"But you must remember not to be complacent. You should still practice diligently in the future. You must know that the path of cultivation is long, and the step you are taking now is just the beginning."
All the great demons bent down, kowtowed to Ye Qin, and replied in unison: "I would like to listen to Master's teachings."
"Practice in the mountains for a few days to consolidate your realm, and then I will make some plans for you."
"It's time for you to go out and see the world..."
Hearing this, many great demons looked at each other, wondering what Master's plan was and what arrangements he had for them?
But it was inevitable that they began to look forward to it, and then they dispersed one after another, each finding a place in the mountains to practice and consolidate their realm.
The animals have transformed into monsters, and their living habits have also changed greatly. Monsters such as monkeys and other primates have also built wooden houses in the mountains, and the small houses are still decent.
To the surprise of the monsters, the Siberian tiger actually likes cooking, but it has no talent, and all the food it cooks is dark cuisine, and it likes to invite the monsters to taste it, which makes many monsters miserable.
The fox likes fishing, and is particularly good at fishing. He often competes with the weasel. If the big turtle hadn't stopped him, all the fish would have been eaten by the two of them.
The elk fell in love with farming, and while farming, he shook his head and muttered poems such as "Pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and leisurely see the southern mountains." I heard that the monkeys taught him.
In addition to practicing, the monsters also developed their own hobbies. Ye Qin did not stop them. After all, it was impossible to ask them to practice all the time. Occasionally, they still needed other things to adjust.
After all, they have become monsters now and should adapt to their new life.
Seeing that everything in the mountain was on track, he also planned to retreat for a while.
Because according to his plan, the demon clan has been established, and the next step is for the ancients to come to the world. By then, the ancients and the great demons will complement each other.
But before that, he needed to understand something in order to open a way for the ancients to come to the world.
However, in order to prevent the monsters from slacking off in their cultivation, and because they had just begun to transform into monsters, they had many things to learn. After thinking for a moment, Ye Qin decided to let the original bones wander outside instead of him.
For this reason, Ye Qin specially injected a trace of soul power into the original white bones, making her different from herself and able to act and think independently, so that Ye Qin's main body can retreat without distractions without having to focus on two things.
In this way, he could not only retreat with peace of mind, but also give lectures to his disciples.
…
The sun sets and the moon rises, and half a month passes in the blink of an eye.
In the quiet mountain forest, the sound of Lang Lang reading could be heard. The sound actually came from the wooden house under the towering ancient trees.
"The Tao can be Tao, but it is very Tao. The name can be named, but it is very famous."
"The nameless beginning of heaven and earth is the name of the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always no desire to observe its wonders; there is always the desire to observe its wonders. These two have the same origin but different names. They are both called mystery, and mystery is another mystery, the door to all wonders."
In the wooden house, a woman in white clothes stood on the podium. The woman was dressed in Hanfu. She was in her prime, but not more than twenty years old. Her skin was as beautiful as snow. She was extremely beautiful and her face was so beautiful that she could not be looked at.
It is hard to imagine that there would be such a beautiful woman in the deep mountains and old forests, and the students listening to her lectures are even more special. If someone were here, their scalp would be numb and their hairs would stand on end.
Because the person sitting in this wooden house is not a human being!
I saw tigers, monkeys, foxes, and other creatures sitting in rows. They were sitting on stools like people, with their two front paws placed neatly on the table. The eyes of the animals were shining brightly, as if they were listening attentively.
There is a stunning woman on the podium, but there is a beast under the podium. The two form a sharp contrast, causing great visual conflict.
Except for the woman who is a humanoid creature, no one in the entire wooden house is human. They are all mountain creatures. The two of them live in harmony, and there is an inexplicable harmony in the weirdness. It is really amazing.
But even this woman will occasionally reveal her true colors and appear with a skeletal face, but it disappears in a fleeting moment, and she is obviously not a normal human being!
The weasel raised his hand and asked, actually speaking human words, "Teacher, what exactly is Tao?"
The woman in white nodded, her eyes showing admiration.
"You asked a very good question. Tao is the essence of all things and the natural law of things. This passage explains the origin and operation of all things. We need to know how all things are formed. This can help you better practice."
"Do you understand?"
The voice of the woman in white was like jade in the mountains, clear and a bit ethereal. The monsters listened very seriously, but the expressions on their faces were very confused, and they shook their heads honestly.
The woman was not angry and continued to explain: "Without all things, Tao does not exist. In essence, Tao is the unity of the world's material basis "qi" and the natural laws of its change."
After hearing the woman's patient and detailed explanation, the animals suddenly understood and nodded.
The weasel next to him also picked up a wide leaf as a notebook and took notes on it.
Although the handwriting is crooked, like a caterpillar, Weasel writes very seriously. All the above are knowledge points, and some even have wavy lines underlined to indicate key points.
The Siberian Tiger touched his head, "I think the Tao that can be expressed in words is not the eternal Tao!"
Monkey also expressed his own opinion, "The great road is invisible. It exists objectively, but it is invisible and intangible."
The fox showed a thoughtful expression, "We can understand Tao as a state of nothingness, a kind of ability. Its origin is nothingness, but it can give birth to all things in the world."
The monsters were discussing and telling their thoughts, pushing the atmosphere of the classroom to a climax instantly.
If you ignore their furry faces and fur, they seem to be no different from ordinary students.
The woman in white is Ye Qin's original white bones, and her transformed appearance is exactly the same as Long Ling's.
At this moment, Ye Qin has been in seclusion for many days, attaching a ray of spiritual thought to the original bones, and giving lectures to the monsters on his behalf.
This ray of spiritual thought does not have Ye Qin's "thought" in it. Therefore, if this ray of divine thought is willing, it can form its own will and combine with the bones, which is equivalent to recreating an independent person.
It can be said that this is another reincarnation of Long Ling.
Such a fantasy scene would definitely be shocking if placed in the outside world, but it is extremely normal in Longyuan Mountain.
The woman's lecture continued, and she slowly smiled, "That's it for today. Let's review the knowledge points we learned yesterday. Now I have to do some memorization and dictation."
The monsters in the audience suddenly felt like a bolt from the blue, and their bodies froze in place.
"What?! Are you still writing silently? No, teacher!"
"It's so miserable. I just went fishing yesterday and didn't review at all."
"Hey, where is my dictation book? Could it be that it was burned as firewood while cooking yesterday!"
"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, what is the next line of the universe? Will you be silent? Let me copy it."
Drawing back and dictating is naturally not a problem for diligent and studious monsters such as turtles, monkeys, and weasels. In contrast, Siberian tigers, jackals, hyenas, etc. look around and glance around, trying to learn from it.
It's a pity that they haven't seen it clearly yet, the original bones have already arrived, and with the most beautiful face, they said the words they were most afraid of.
"You can't write from memory, right? Go back and copy it to me ten thousand times."
Accompanied by the howls of ghosts such as Siberian tigers and other monsters, and the gloating laughter of many monsters, the cabin was extremely lively for a while.
The originally silent mountains and forests now have countless fresh breaths.
…
There are many peaks and mountains, the clear water is like a mirror, and there are a few wisps of milky white fog on the top, and the mountains are shrouded in the light mist.
A month later, Longyuan Mountain returned to calm.
The animals have adapted to their new life as monsters, and are also waiting for Master Ye Qin to come out of seclusion and make arrangements for their birth.
But on this day, a group of uninvited guests were welcomed at the foot of Longyuan Mountain. (End of chapter)
