"Miss Tang," Li Jian said, "don't you think the monsters here are a little strange?"
The monsters in Shouwo Mountain are indeed very different from those outside. In addition to the fact that almost all the monsters you see are mid-level monsters, the size of the monsters here seems to be much larger than those outside. The most important thing is The strange thing is that the eyes of the monsters here are actually flashing a heart-stopping red light, whether it is the one-horned bison that finally died of exhaustion in front of the five people due to the final injury, or whether it was the one-horned bison that I had had sex with before. The same was true for the big black crows with a wingspan of two feet who were fighting fiercely.
What kind of monks have red eyes?
Naturally, only evil cultivators are like this. For example, the last time they rescued Zuo You, Yan Jing had a fierce fight with them before he was defeated in the end. His eyes were always the same as those of ordinary people, but when he finally became an evil cultivator, When he ran away, his eyes were filled with blood-red light. There is also Du Sha, who had a battle with Qian Chao in Hanquan Valley, and his eyes were the same. Further forward, there was Amuro Qi who died in the hands of five people. When he used evil magic, his eyes were blood-red.
After this experience, the five people would definitely be more careful about the monks with blood-red eyes. However, in addition to the evil cultivators, all the monsters in the mountain guarding the wok also had blood-red eyes, which made people suspicious.
Li Jian's words reminded Lu Pingchuan that he was standing in front of the head of the one-horned bison:
"Hey, this is really what happened. It seems that every monster we have seen since we came in has two red eyes. Sister Tang, what is going on? Can we still have this thing?"
"Of course," Tang Ping said, "Not only is it okay, but it's also good stuff. Just take it with you."
"Oh." Lu Pingchuan only cared about whether the monster he picked up for free could be taken out. After getting Tang Ping's affirmative answer, he didn't care about anything else.
"What Brother Li said is exactly what I am curious about. Hey, this kind of one-horned bison also has a similar appearance but is much smaller in size. It is called Dou Kui. It is generally called Du Kui. The common one-horned bison is Kui is much smaller than this, and his eyes are not red. There are also those black birds that died over there. There are also similar ones outside, named Feng An, also called Mo Crow. They are also very small in size. There are many, and the eyes are black, unlike the red eyes here..."
At this point, Lu Pingchuan interjected:
"Hey, there's also that big one-eyed wild boar from the beginning!"
"Well, yes, the same is true for the big wild boar, but why..."
Qian Chao said from the side:
"Is it because the earth spiritual energy here is so rich that these monsters have changed?"
"This is just one reason. Almost all the monsters we can see here are mid-level, and most of the monsters we have seen outside are low-level. It should be that they got it. The nourishment of the earth spiritual energy here makes it easy to advance to the next level, but this does not explain why the eyes of these monsters have this red light..."
Yanxuan asked from the side:
"Then...what kind of monster usually has red eyes?"
"Ferocious beasts," Tang Ping said, "There are countless monsters in the world, but only ferocious beasts have blood-red eyes. Just like...the evil cultivators we have seen!"
When she said this, Tang Ping's heart moved and she had a vague idea. She couldn't help but look sideways at the big tree that was emitting white light in the center of Shouwo Mountain.
Looking at the world, there are countless ordinary people in the secular world, and there are countless birds and beasts in the mountains, rivers and swamps, so it appears to be full of vitality; and in the spiritual world, there are countless monks. For monks, , there are countless monsters and beasts hidden in the vast world, which are the dangers in the world of cultivation. For a spirit-controlling monk like Tang Ping, the ones she raises are generally called spirit beasts or spirit birds, and Tang Ping has both.
It should be noted here that the meaning of the word "spirit" in the spiritual bird and spirit beast is different from the word "spirit" in the spiritual weapon refined by Qian Chao.
In addition to the talismans he made himself, Qian Chao also has a large number of spiritual weapons. These are his methods. If five people build a foundation in one day, what Qian Chao refines and reuses cannot be called It’s not a “spiritual weapon” but a “magical weapon”, and a magical weapon is one level higher than a spiritual weapon.
After Tang Ping established the foundation, whether she was Xiaobai, Dahuang, Atu, Tietou, Tietou, etc., she was still called a spiritual bird or a spiritual beast.
For spiritual monks, spiritual beasts or spiritual birds, whether they are caught and tamed by oneself or given by elders, are called "spirits" just to distinguish them from those ownerless and wild animals in the world of practice. Just a monster. Let's put it this way, ordinary people keep dogs at home to guard the house, or the owner will give them a name out of love, and those ownerless wild dogs are collectively called "wild dogs"; or cats are kept at home to catch mice. To protect food, those cats that roam without owners will be collectively called "wild cats" by people. The word "wild" here has the same meaning as the word "yao" for monsters.
Therefore, whether it is a spiritual bird or a spiritual beast, there is essentially no essential difference from those monster beasts in the world of spiritual practice that eat raw hair, drink blood, and fight savagely. As long as they are captured and raised by monks, they are spiritual birds and spiritual beasts. On the contrary, they are demonic birds and beasts.
However, it is said that long ago, the definition of spiritual beasts was even narrower.
There are many demons and beasts in the spiritual world. The "spirit beasts" considered by the monks at that time were only those extremely powerful true spirit level demon beasts. The reason why they were given the word "spirit" is because of this Demonic beasts are generally enlightened and even extremely intelligent. They will not actively provoke or kill monks. Instead, they may have nothing to do with each other and do not interfere with each other. They may get along well with the monks and even become members of a certain family. Protect the auspicious beast.
On the contrary, those powerful monsters, which are either cruel and bloodthirsty by nature, or who only regard monks as blood food for nourishment, are called "ferocious beasts". After most of the monsters in the world encounter monks, as long as they can control themselves and defeat them, they will show their sharp claws and fangs to harm the monks. But those who can be given the word "fierce" are those powerful, true spirit-level monsters.
For example, Taotie and Chaos are ferocious beasts with a great reputation that make people’s faces change when they hear them.
For example, the auspicious dragon and the auspicious phoenix are world-famous and admirable spiritual beasts.
This was the definition of spiritual beasts and ferocious beasts by those monks in the past.
It's just that a long time has passed, and the definition of ferocious beasts has not changed much. However, spiritual beasts have become more and more popular. Many monks who raise monster beasts have also called all the monsters they have tamed since unknown time. It is called a spiritual beast, which is probably from that time on. Spiritual beasts such as the auspicious dragon and the phoenix have been called true spirit-level spiritual beasts, while Taotie and Chaos have become ferocious beasts at the true spirit level.
The reason why I say so much is because in the knowledge of Yuling, only when a monster has the bloodline of a vicious beast will the red light appear in its eyes!
And this is what frightened Tang Ping. After the five of them entered Shouwo Mountain, all the monsters they encountered had red eyes, even those with a faint red color had red eyes!
Could it be... Tang Ping thought in disbelief... Do all the monsters in the Shouwo Mountain have the blood of vicious beasts?
Seeing Tang Ping's thoughtful look, Qian Chao asked:
"What did you think of?"
So Tang Ping said what she was thinking.
"Oh, does Tang Meizi mean that all the monsters in this mountain are ferocious beasts?" Lu Pingchuan asked.
"At least according to the knowledge of the Spirit Control Sect that I have learned, the monsters we have seen here all have the blood of ferocious beasts."
"Then..." Qian Chao thought for a moment and then said, "In addition to bloodline reproduction, is there any other way to obtain the bloodline of the ferocious beast?"
"Yes..." Tang Ping replied, "Swallowing ferocious beasts, refining their flesh and blood and integrating them with one's own, thereby achieving the purpose of changing one's own bloodline. This method is often seen among monster beasts."
Not only that, in the world of cultivation, there are some aristocratic families that have the bloodline of spiritual beasts or fierce beasts. Of course, such aristocratic families are secretive and rare, and they also regard each other as feuds. In the future, under the Qian Chao Five Building After Ji went on adventures outside, he met several such aristocratic families, and had some thrilling experiences as a result, but those are all for another day, so let’s not mention them for now.
What he saw seemed to confirm a rumor within the sect about the Shouwo Mountain, that is, the Shouwo Mountain was a place where ferocious beasts were imprisoned.
Before going out this time, Tang Ping did not ask Fairy Guhuo about Shouwo Mountain. She was worried that her master would understand that she was going to Shouwo Mountain this time. It was a dangerous place, so her master would definitely stop her or go there himself, but Tang Ping didn't want her master to get too involved in the Qingluan matter, so she didn't know much about Shouwo Mountain. , are just rumors within the sect about Shouwo Mountain. One of them is that Shouwo Mountain was the place where the ancestors of the sect imprisoned a powerful ferocious beast.
But now it seems that this rumor has been confirmed. If this is not the place where the ancestors imprisoned the beasts, where did the blood of the beasts that can be seen everywhere come from?
But this raises another question, that is, there are so many kinds of monsters with the blood of ferocious beasts. Could it be that many ferocious beasts were banned in the Shouwo Mountain?
This is almost impossible. Since it is a ferocious beast, it is an extremely powerful existence. The ancestors who were able to subdue it must have paid a heavy price. If there are many ferocious beasts appearing at the same time, it will definitely be a spiritual practice. It is impossible for humans to defeat a catastrophe in the world, and even if there are many ferocious beasts in the world, they cannot all appear together at the same time.
Among the rumors about Shouwo Mountain, it was only said that the ancestors of the Five Spirit Sect had captured and banned a ferocious beast.
But if there is only one ferocious beast in Shouwo Mountain, then where do the ferocious beast bloodlines in the many types of monsters here come from?
Even the banned ferocious beasts are ferocious beasts. If the monsters here want to devour its flesh and blood, they are seeking death, which is impossible!
At this point, in Tang Ping's opinion, there was only one possibility.
Heirs.
The offspring of a ferocious beast.
The descendants of ferocious beasts must have the blood of ferocious beasts.
Even if the offspring of a ferocious beast can grow into a powerful ferocious beast in the future, they are still extremely weak when they are just born.
Even if a true spirit like Qingluan is as strong as Qingluan, if its eggs are discovered by other monsters, their shells will be broken open and devoured. Even if Qingluan's eggs can be hatched smoothly, the newly born little Qingluan will not be able to survive. In the eyes of other monsters, it is just a delicious meal.
It must be so.
However... according to rumors, the ancestors of the Five Spirits only banned one ferocious beast here, one. How could the yin and yang be in harmony and produce heirs?
Could it be two ferocious beasts?
Tang Ping shook her head, that shouldn't be the case.
What ferocious beast or demonic beast can give birth to offspring on its own?
There seem to be several types.
Thinking of this, Tang Ping turned his attention back to the big tree with white light. He didn't know which of the ferocious beasts he thought would be banned there!
