In the Ten Thousand Snakes Mountain, the years are quiet and peaceful, and the two green and white snakes are practicing hard on the road.
Every day, Bai Jin would get up when the sun was three high, bask in the sun, catch some prey to satisfy his hunger, and then take a nap while coiled up on a willow tree, or directly coiled up on a boulder.
It's not that Bai Yan doesn't practice diligently, but it's that practicing while the sun is there is very likely to go astray. If he inhales the flaming sun essence, he will die miserably.
The sun is the light of vitality for all things, the universe is upright, and all evils retreat. From the souls of dead people to thousand-year-old monsters, they will all fear or hate the sun that is so high above.
However, Green Snake is better than him, and he can practice normally in a place sheltered from the sun during the day. It's just that Green Snake is too lazy. After practicing during the day, he will never practice at night. Even under Bai Jun's supervision, he can only concentrate on practicing for two hours every day.
There's nothing you can do about it, demons are so lazy in their cultivation. The green snake sleeps when it is full and eats when it wakes up. Occasionally, when it is bored, it will run out of the Snake King Valley to inspect its territory, which can be regarded as a mountain patrol.
The current scope of Wanshe Mountain is the two hundred miles of nearby mountains that can be considered the boundary of Wanshe Mountain. It can be said that the area is extremely broad.
Even Bai Jun doesn't know the exact number of snakes among them. However, when mating comes in spring, you can see snake groups stretching for miles near the mountains and streams, with countless snakes entangled together to mate.
That scene was so terrifying that the occasional hunter who went into the mountain to hunt was so frightened when he saw this scene. In addition, the legend and belief in the snake fairy became more and more popular, and Wanshe Mountain has also become a forbidden place for the snake fairy among people outside the mountain. .
However, Wanshe Mountain stretches for two hundred miles and is inaccessible to people. It has accumulated countless precious medicinal materials over the years, attracting medicinal collectors to take risks to search for medicines in the mountain.
There are even many famous snake catchers who come here and make a living by catching snakes near the mountains. After all, snakes are mostly treasures.
Bai Yan did not stop these human beings, each has his own way of survival. Snake catchers live on snakes, but if they are not careful, they will die from the mouth of a venomous snake and python.
There are too many snakes in Wanshe Mountain, which has caused an imbalance in the environment and ecology. If these humans want to catch snakes, they can catch them, otherwise the snake population will overrun and they will have nothing to eat but can only kill each other.
As time passed, another village gathered outside Wanshe Mountain. The name was Snake Catching Village, and they made a living by catching snakes. And they also worship the Liuxian, because the Liuxian will tell them in their dreams when they can catch snakes, when they cannot catch snakes, and where they can and cannot go.
If you violate the taboos of Liuxian, you will not be able to come out even if you enter the mountain.
On the west side of the mountains, the Yue Kingdom established a new dynasty, but the one who sat on the throne was a bandit. How could he know the ways of governing a country and serving the people? In the blink of an eye, it was destroyed again, and the people of the five states of Yue fell into misery again.
More and more people fled to Jin Dynasty, and the officials and people of Jin Dynasty received them warmly and even treated them extremely kindly.
Once it was passed down to ten, it was passed down to hundreds. Coupled with the deliberate spreading of the word by the Jin State, the people of the Yue State were all envious of the peace and prosperity of the Jin Dynasty. Therefore, the boundary monuments of the Jin Dynasty were moved year after year. The country conquered Yinzhou and Mingzhou, occupying thousands of miles of land in the two states without spending a single soldier.
In fact, the people in the two states regard themselves as citizens of the Jin Dynasty and have no reactionary intentions.
Because the Jin Dynasty divided troops and distributed food, appeased the people, provided disaster relief, educated and cultivated people, exempted them from taxation and corvee for five years, killed thieves and subdued thieves, suppressed monsters and exterminated demons, the people of Yue regarded him as the wise savior of the world.
Since then, the Jin Dynasty has occupied the land of ten states, which is a vast country even among medium-sized countries. There are only three big countries in the entire Linan Continent, and the Jin Dynasty has the potential to become the fourth big country.
These changes in the human world did not have much impact on Bai Jun, but the stronger the Jin State, the greater the chance that he would really be named the Qinnan Mountain God.
You must know that the Qinan Mountains are no more than tens of thousands of miles away. It is naturally impossible for such a vast mountainous land to be granted the title of mountain god of the entire mountain range. However, even a mountain god of several hundred miles away may not be able to be granted the title by the luck of an ordinary dynasty. At the very least, the recently established dynasty of Yue cannot afford to enfeoff.
This year, the snow in winter turned into water, and the sound of thunder awakened Bai Jun.
This year, Bai Jun is ninety years old, he has been practicing demon transformation for eighty years, and he has mastered the demon power in his body for one hundred, sixty or seventy years.
However, in these years, it has never shed its skin once. It was when I first transformed into a demon.
According to his estimation, he may shed his skin only once every 100 years of age.
The next time she sheds her skin will probably be ten years from now.
The most dangerous time for snakes to shed their skin is also the most dangerous time for snake monsters to shed their skin.
Fortunately, Bai Jun has a green snake protecting him, so he can just be careful when the time comes.
Bai Yan climbed out of the hibernation cave. Even if he became a demon, some of his habits were still difficult to change. Although he could resist the cold winter with the help of demon power, he was still weak and lethargic, which was not as good as hibernation.
The full moon above the head is shining, which is the change of human faith.
After Bai Yan felt it, he sighed in his heart, his benefactor passed away.
The young man who brought him medicine in the rain lived to the age of ninety-three.
With Bai Jun's help, all three grandsons of Lu Baosheng's family went to school. However, since Yinzhou was already the land of the Jin Dynasty, the highest achievement of his three grandsons was to pass the scholar examination.
However, for Lu Baosheng, he is already a proud ancestor. His great-great-grandson lived up to the family's high expectations and became a high-ranking official, becoming a county magistrate. From this, the Xiahe Lu family began to branch out and embark on the path of a prosperous family.
Who would have thought that a child in that family would have such perseverance to get rid of slavery and struggle all the way from a poor peasant family to become a county magistrate's great-grandfather. The magistrate Lu also built an ancestral hall for his ancestral home village of Xiahe, ranking his great-grandfather In the first generation.
Because it was from Lu Baosheng's generation that getting rid of slavery was the starting point for family inheritance.
Lu Baosheng, the great-grandfather of the Lu family, lived for ninety-three years. He went through three dynasties of the Yue Kingdom, made a fortune and educated his descendants, but eventually became a poor family. The most important thing for their clan is to worship the Liuxian. The children of the clan are not allowed to eat snake meat, and they are not allowed to change the clan belief.
Bai Jun also felt that he had repaid his kindness. He had personally searched for precious herbs in the mountains to prolong Lu Baosheng's life, and had also secretly protected the Lu family from several bandit disasters. Bai Jun was indispensable for the Lu family in Xiahe to be where they are today. help.
Since then, this human kindness has been buried in history along with the great-grandfather of the Lu family.
For the mortals who pray to him, Bai Jun always only fulfills the wishes of some people and only protects believers within his ability. For example, in the Zhuangjia Village in the past, after nearly a hundred years of inheritance, the village had descendants of the four surnames of King Zhao, Zhang and Li. After entering the court and becoming an official, he became one of the four famous families in Qinan Prefecture.
The poverty of the past has long disappeared in the village. There are only wealthy families with fine clothes and fine food, and there are many high-gate courtyards. If you meet an old lady on the road here, she may be the mother of the county magistrate or Lord Bo.
As for the reason, it is because the Jin Dynasty newly acquired the two prefectures decades ago, which required thousands of officials to establish government rule, and the customs and folk customs of the neighboring Qinan Prefecture were closest to each other, so most of the people in Qinan Prefecture were chosen. Scholars and talented people are appointed to the post.
In the village, there is one compound that is the most prominent, and that is the hometown of Mr. Zhang, the current magistrate of Mingzhou.
Mr. Zhang will not remember that four generations ago, a farmer named Zhang Erniu was buried in the swamp of Wanshe Mountain in order to let his children read and read.
Bai Jun watched the generations change in the human world, from birth to death, from poverty to riches, from civilians to officials, from prosperity to decline. Aristocratic families rise and fall. All the mortals in the world have sharpened their minds and aspirations, creating a firm Taoist heart in him.
It's the beginning of spring again, and Bai Jun has started his cultivation career again.
He will only start practicing after the sunset and will not stop practicing until the sun rises in the east. At the end of the day, he can practice for five or six hours, which is considered to be extremely virtuous among monsters.
Since practicing, Bai Jun's food intake has dropped a lot. Snake King Valley is the inner valley of Wan Snake Mountain. There are only two snakes in the valley, namely the blue and white snakes.
Many beasts are raised here for the two snakes to fill their bellies.
Bai Yan and Xiao Qing's demonic aura will never spread to the other side of the valley, let alone disturb the beasts.
The beasts in the valley enjoy a peaceful and peaceful life. There are no bigger predators. They live a good and peaceful life. As a price, a group of goats occasionally loses a companion, or a herd of deer loses a doe. Or foxes, rabbits, bobcats, wild boars and other beasts.
In short, no one will remember these disappeared beasts. It's just that there are many scattered broken bones piled up in the ant colony next to the willow tree.
That night, when Bai Jun raised his head, the stars were twinkling in the sky, the bright moon was in the sky, there were no clouds in the sky, and the silver light slanted over the mountains.
There is a vision!
Among the many stars, there are twenty-eight constellations, which delineate the four constellations.
Bai Yan saw the Canglong constellation. To be precise, it was not seven stars, but seven major constellations criss-crossing each other: Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Ji. The seven constellations of stars outlined a star map in the shape of a green dragon on the sky.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, do not use Qianlong. On ninety-two, I saw a dragon in the field. Ninety-three, work hard all day long, be vigilant at night, and have no fault. Ninety-four, or leaping into the abyss. On the 95th, the flying dragon is in the sky. On the ninth day, the dragon has regrets. Use nine, and there will be no leader.
The seven constellations are divided into Canglong and the stars are bright.
The green snake, who was originally sleeping, crawled out of the snake hole in a daze and began to practice.
Bai Jun glanced at Xiao Qing in confusion, but did not disturb him. The light of Canglong Qisu shone on the green snake, giving off a faint green light, revealing something extraordinary.
When the starry vision occurred, Bai Jun was still doing the same thing as before, swallowing the essence of the moon.
The two qi of Taiyin and Shaoyin enter the belly, and the two qi of water and wood are combined with the circulation of the heaven and earth. The qi turns into force and condenses into strands of demonic power that falls into the belly of the snake.
Bai Jun raised his head and looked at the full moon in the sky, which was as white as jade. The moonlight fell and shone into his pupils. After eighty years of swallowing the moon, he finally gained something today. After eighty years of looking at the moon, he caught a glimpse of time. The Taiyin fell, the Shaoyin rose, too little. The second energy flowed up from the body and poured into his pupils. Bai Jun felt that his eyes were bloodshot and suddenly painful.
At this moment, a trace of blood rushed up from the faded red jade beads in his body and poured into his eyes.
The intense pain subsided, and two drops of blood fell from the snake's pupils onto the boulder. Bai Jun felt that his eyes were extremely bright.
He raised his head and looked at the willow branches that were swaying in the spring night wind. His vertical snake eyes flashed with white light, but he saw that the thousand-year-old willow branches that were fluttering in the wind were all still, motionless at strange angles, as if they had been pressed into pause. key.
Bai Jun was overjoyed. By chance, he realized the third magic technique. This technique had a very vulgar name, but it was extremely practical. It was called the Body Holding Technique!
As long as the two qi of Taiyin and Shaoyin in the body are activated to separate into the left and right eyes, a flash of white light can freeze the person or object whose eyes are locked.
However, Bai Jun's pupils were also injured. Since snakes have no eyelids, they cannot blink. Eye injuries are extremely difficult to repair. Bai Jun estimates that he will have to wait until he sheds his skin at the age of 100 to develop new eyelids.
Beside him, the green snake swallowed up the faint starlight, and wisps of green light appeared on its emerald green body. Even Bai Yan could feel that the vitality in Xiao Qing's body was gradually getting stronger, and some unknown changes might be taking place in his body.
Bai Jun always stayed by the green snake's side to protect it.
The green snake didn't wake up until the white fish belly appeared on the eastern horizon.
Bai Jun was a little worried. The first ray of purple energy emitted on this great day was pure Yang purple energy. Exhaling this energy was a necessary practice for human monks, and it had great benefits.
But for monsters, this wisp of purple energy can be a great disaster.
Xiao Qing still didn't stop practicing until the first ray of sunshine from the east shone into the valley. Xiao Qing suddenly opened her mouth and swallowed a ray of pure Yang purple energy.
Bai Jun was frightened, but he was relieved when he saw that the other party didn't feel any discomfort.
After Xiaoqing swallowed the pure Yang purple energy, her energy and energy were somewhat improved, making her appear more spiritual.
When Bai Jun asked him how he felt, Xiaoqing could only express "very comfortable".
Asked him how to feel comfortable and how comfortable it was, Xiaoqing didn't know, so he couldn't describe it or understand it.
Bai Jun didn't ask any more questions. As long as everything was fine, it might be Xiao Qing's chance. Canglong Qisu's vision, maybe Xiaoqing will understand some incredible magical power in the future.
As for transforming into a dragon, Bai Jun didn't think there was much hope. He himself doesn't have the abnormality of transforming into a dragon. In his two lifetimes, he is already a hundred-year-old demon. Bai Yan can still sense whether his bloodline can transform into a dragon, but there is no way!
How does a dragon exist? The legendary beast has such long scales that a water snake in a mud ditch can turn into a dragon. Is a dragon considered a rare beast?
To transform a snake into a dragon, the right time, place, and people must come together, and there must be great opportunities, and you must go through many disasters before you can succeed.
Bai Jun felt that it was better to be a demon first, become a thousand-year-old snake demon, and transform into a Tao body. This was the most important thing.
As for the transformation, although Bai Yan had no one to guide him, he knew in his heart that the transformation of demons must be a level of the demon clan's training, and it would bring many disasters.
But these things have to wait until Bai Jun can refine the crossbones in his mouth, and then he can ask the vixen.
According to Bai Yan's perception of the body, it would take at least two hundred years of skill to refine Henggu and speak human language.
His path to spiritual practice is still long, but he has just taken the first few steps.
…
On the second day of Canglong Qisu's vision, the Wujiang River, the largest river in Jinzhou in the northeast of Yunzhou, suddenly experienced a heavy rain once in a century. The river bank burst its banks, and huge floods poured into Yunzhou downstream, submerging the three prefectures and causing countless refugees. , Qinan Prefecture also suffered, thousands of hectares of fertile farmland were flooded, and people from Yun Prefecture brought the plague.
For a time, people in Qinan Prefecture fled to avoid floods and plagues. And the vast Qinnan Mountains have seen an influx of many refugees.
