Bai Jun returned to the mountains to continue his ascetic cultivation. The life of a demon was like this. He lived alone in the mountains and forests for hundreds of thousands of years, enduring loneliness until his death.
Therefore, there are many great demons or demons who are successful in the art of transformation. As soon as they enter the human world, they are dazzled by the gorgeous fireworks, ten-mile-long songs, and prosperity, and their minds are confused. They are addicted to the world and cannot extricate themselves.
When Qing Cang was transformed into a dragon, he was only half-transformed. After all, his Taoism was too shallow. Even with Bai Jun's careful planning, he could not completely transform into a dragon.
Logically speaking, if ordinary snakes are destined to become dragons, each step will take hundreds of years of practice and go through tribulations. Dragons alone are an elusive and unreachable destination for many hybrid monsters.
But Qingcang's transformation into a dragon is a bit unbelievable, not much worse than those dragon sons and grandsons with a little bit of blood.
Qing Cang has his own destiny, and Bai Jun will never ask more questions: There are thousands of destiny methods in the world, which immortal can know them all?
The newly migrated species outside the mountain stayed on the outskirts of Wan Snake Mountain, while the snakes in the inner mountain moved deeper into the mountains under the guidance of Bai Jun, leaving room for the new species to survive.
The predatory ant group is also expanding to the entire mountain range, and the snake-ant symbiosis has formed a consensus between the two groups under the influence of Bai Jun and the ant queen.
Bai Jun took down three huge stones from the top of the mountain outside Tianhu Cave, which were three to four feet high. They inserted them into the soil in the east, west and north directions outside Wanshe Mountain. He used the power of incense to stabilize the huge stones. Originally, he wanted to carve them. Wan Sheshan went up, but then he changed his mind.
So one day, a woodcutter who went into the mountain to cut firewood found a huge red stone with two large, shiny black characters engraved on it. The woodcutter couldn't read and ran around for three or four days before he managed to learn these two characters, just like ghostly drawings. I wrote it to a seventy-year-old old boy in the village. He was so angry that he scolded him for not being as good as a dog's paw.
However, this incident gradually spread, and everyone knew that a big stone suddenly appeared in the mountain, with two characters engraved on it, called "虺山"!
The blood stone is a monument, and the name is engraved in black characters, which means a bloody disaster and a sign of great misfortune, and is a warning to mankind.
Three boundary monuments have redefined the boundaries of Huishan Mountain. They are eight hundred miles long from east to west. They are adjacent to Jingxian and Quxian in Qinnan Prefecture in the north, and extend to the Yue Kingdom in the west. As for the east, there is another boundary near the Fengdu Kingdom. Hundreds of miles away.
As for the south, Bai Jun did not build a monument. You can say that he was lazy and only built three monuments. You can also say that he was wishful thinking. He longed for it to the south of this monument.
Of course, Bai Jun also gave up a few peripheral mountains, leaving those humans who relied on the mountains to continue to survive and multiply. After all, they called themselves Liu Xian.
The delineation of the boundary also determined the scope of Bai Zhen's divine domain. Thousands of miles away could barely be regarded as his boundary, and he had the strength of the incense and fire god in the middle realm in the mountains.
There are no big monsters scheming, no external oppression and threats. Although the days in the mountains are a bit the same, they are very pure, clear-hearted and clear.
When there is nothing going on in the mountains, I often recite Taoist scriptures. Bai Jun now not only recites the Tao Te Ching and the Mahaparinirvana Sutra, he also bought some Taoist scriptures from the human world, as well as some popular stories about gods and ghosts, and wanted to read them when he has nothing to do to relieve his fatigue. .
But he didn't expect that when he opened the storybook, the protagonists of the ghosts and monsters in it were all himself.
And the stories are all kinds of weird, such as the white snake giving a son, the willow fairy giving gold and silver in a dream, the white snake repaying the favor by promising to marry a peasant girl, and living a happy life...
One of the storybooks is quite interesting. It actually records an incident of his own, which was when he went to see the old village head of Zhuangjia Village in mourning. It also says that the white snake hides in the cave in the painting to practice cultivation, and every night it turns into a beautiful woman and a night scholar.
He looked at the title of the book and saw clearly written on it were the five characters "White Snake Immortal in the World"! This book is quite good and worth reading.
Apart from Zhiguai, Bai Jun also bought famous classics such as "Huang Ting Jing", "Nan Hua Jing", and "Tong Xuan Zhen Jing".
These scriptures and Dharma have been widely spread throughout the world and are regarded as wise sayings and learned knowledge. Few people study them diligently. Instead, they all want to visit Lingshan to seek immortality. Little do they know that if they really have the qualifications to practice Taoism, the immortal Dharma will be right in front of them.
Bai Yan took care of Tianhu Cave, and every time it was rainy, he would read quietly in the hut of Tianhu Cave, watching the light rain outside the window, savoring the fun of reading and the fragrance of ink.
The cave in Snake King Valley was enlarged several times by him using his demonic power. It was transformed from a stone cave into a stone house. The true sun mirror was hung in front of the cave without a gatekeeper. No monster except him and Qing Cang dared to approach.
The true sun mirror will be illuminated by the sun every sunrise. The cracked gaps in the mirror have been repaired over the years, and even the rust on the bronze mirror has gradually faded away and turned into red gold.
Every time the moon rises, it's Bai Jun's time to practice. He would breathe in the vitality of heaven and earth and absorb the moonlight on the top of the mountain. He would also use Taiyin and Shaoyin to cleanse the snake slough. He would also practice the Shuiyuexiao from time to time. When did he remember the Yin evil gourd? Cleanse it with moonlight.
Although each time is very short, it cannot bear his longevity. After hundreds of years of accumulation, these personal belongings will be washed away and the spirit will be revealed.
Bai Jun noticed that his authority over the mountain had become stronger again. It seemed that every time he contributed to the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, his authority over the mountain became stronger. This time, getting rid of the land cursed by the Drought Demon can be regarded as a service to heaven and earth. Now the mountains within a radius of five to six hundred miles can be roughly controlled by him.
…
At the foot of the mountain, Zhang Dazhuang bought a Yue man from Yinzhou a few years ago.
These people could no longer survive in the country of Yue and could only flee to the enemy's country, but there were too many refugees that the Jin Dynasty could not bear.
Therefore, the Yue people who fled were treated as slaves and handed over to Renyazi for sale. Who would have thought that as long as these people have food to eat, they can do whatever they are told without any training, and they will also be grateful.
As a result, many single men from farm families bought a Yue woman as their mother-in-law, who was obedient, capable, hard-working, and able to continue the family line.
Zhang Dazhuang's son is seven or eight years old and can do some farm work. The family lives a happy life, and occasionally helps Zhang Erzhuang's family when he has spare time.
Zhang Erzhuang also got married. On the day of his father's burial, he was frightened by a group of snakes and fainted, but his brain became normal again. Zhang Dazhuang saved his money and bought him a Yue woman, who is now five months pregnant.
On this day, Cuilan, Zhang Dazhuang's wife, got up early and opened the door. She saw a guy who looked like a dog standing in front of the door. She endured it and said, "Why did my uncle come to my house so early in the morning?"
"Haha, sister-in-law, I didn't just want to give my eldest brother some good things to help him replenish his health." Xiao Zhuang, who changed his surname to Zhang again, took the name of Zhang Fugui.
Cuilan looked at the supplements in the hands of the two boys behind him and stepped aside, "Come in and see your elder brother."
Zhang Dazhuang accidentally fell when he was going up the mountain a few days ago and almost fell into the cliff. Fortunately, Er Zhuang managed to hold on with all his strength and escaped from death. However, the fall hit my waist and I had to lie in bed for many days to recuperate.
Zhang Fugui entered the room with worry on his face, "Brother, how do you feel? You really scared me to death."
Zhang Dazhuang, who was lying on the bed, felt warm in his heart when he saw how concerned he was about him, "Hey, Xiao Zhuang, don't worry, your brother and I are in good health."
Zhang Fugui glanced at the boy behind him who was suppressing a smile, glared, and then said with a smile: "Brother, you still love me as much as you did when our father was here.
As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. Dad passed away early. Now that I, my brother, have money, I have become a restaurant owner, so I naturally have to honor you. "
Da Zhuang looked at the extremely expensive things such as Ren San, jujubes, and wolfberries that were handed over, and listened to his younger brother mentioning the past. He couldn't help but blush: "Xiao Zhuang, it's better if you are thoughtful. You don't need to buy these expensive things." .Brother, I know it’s not easy for you either, so you’d better save some money to support your mother-in-law and son.”
"Oh, what brother said really touched my heart. My restaurant has fewer and fewer customers every day. They say it doesn't have any signature dishes and it's impossible to retain customers. In ten days and a month, maybe It’s about to close.”
"Ah? What can we do?" Da Zhuang said worriedly: "You have worked hard for half your life to earn this restaurant. I am useless and can't help you."
Zhang Fugui turned his head and winked, and the two boys walked out.
"Brother, you can really help me with this matter! Brother, guess what is the most expensive thing in Qinan Prefecture now?"
"What? It must be gold?" Da Zhuang replied frankly.
"No, brother, there is something more precious than gold!"
"What? Is there anything more valuable than gold? Isn't that an antique?"
"No, brother, you often have this thing, it's a snake! The more poisonous the snake, the more valuable it is!"
"snake?"
"Yes! What our Dajin is most lacking now is snake medicinal materials, and those venomous snakes are even more valuable. In the eyes of those big businessmen, a precious venomous snake is worth more than gold!"
"But there are fewer and fewer snakes these days. Except for the countless snakes that are said to be in Hui Mountain, we can't see them anymore." Da Zhuang sighed.
"Brother! I believe that others can't catch snakes. But when you say you can't catch snakes, you treat your brothers as outsiders. In which month did you not catch a few big snakes and venomous snakes?" Zhang Fugui said with an angry look.
"This..." Da Zhuang, who was not good at telling lies, blushed, "I... I met him from outside the mountains, so I caught him in a bamboo basket and exchanged it for some money."
"Brother, just think of me as begging you." Zhang Fugui looked miserable and even cried hypocritically, "Brother, please help me and catch more snakes in the future. The more poisonous the better, and send them to me. In a restaurant, okay? I can keep it at a higher price than anyone else can bid for it!"
"But..." Da Zhuang hesitated...
"Brother, are we still brothers? You're not willing to help me with this little thing? Dad asked you to take care of me and my second brother before he died. Have you forgotten what dad said?"
"Okay, I promise you, that's all." Da Zhuang said with an unbearable expression, "You just have to wait until I recover from my injury."
Zhang Fugui looked happy when he heard this...
A month later, Zhang Dazhuang recovered from his injury and went to the mountains to chop firewood and catch some game or mountain products during the off-season.
He entered the mountain but did not realize that there were several sneaky people following him.
Zhang Dazhuang went further and further into the mountains. The more he walked into the mountains, the more he could feel the coolness of the mountains and forests.
He walked all morning before he stopped. He stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the eye-catching red boulder not far away. It was a forbidden area.
Da Zhuang chopped some firewood, rested for a while, and sat in the forest to eat some dry food.
He was not in a hurry, but he made the people following him anxious.
Zhang Fugui cursed secretly: You can really mess around!
His two loyal servants also asked in a low voice: "Master, does your eldest brother really have any unique skills? It doesn't look like it, no matter how you look at it?"
"That's right, I don't think so either."
"Huh, what do you know? With his big head, how can he earn enough money to buy a wife for his second son all these years? He has been catching venomous snakes for several months and taking them to the drugstore to exchange for money, but this piece of shit Lao Pusheng kept the price low. The price is reduced to 10%." Zhang Fugui said: "Instead of having this unique skill, you might as well give it to me, and you will definitely make a huge profit!"
Amid the impatience of several people, Da Zhuang finally rested.
He stood up, knelt down in the direction of the big red stone, and whispered: "Bless me, Liu Xian! I hope you can give me something to support my family!"
After that, he stood up, carefully took out a cotton bag from his arms, opened it and took out a flute.
"Huh? What are you doing?" Zhang Fugui was extremely confused.
But he saw that his eldest brother, who didn't know a single Chinese character, actually played the flute like a decent person.
"Du~du~"
…
A burst of harsh flute sound came, frightening away the crows in the forest. They squawked a few times and flew away with flapping wings.
…
Everyone waited for a long time, and when Zhang Fugui finally couldn't help but walk out, there was suddenly a sound of animal neighing from all around.
"Hiss~"
"Hiss~"
"Hiss~"
"Boss, boss, look, there are so many snakes!" the boy shouted in alarm.
Zhang Fugui looked up and was frightened to death.
I saw more than a hundred snakes crawling out of the surrounding woods, including triangular-headed ones, round-headed ones, flat-headed ones, all kinds of snakes, many of them venomous!
There was fear and happiness in his eyes.
Zhang Dazhuang looked at the group of snakes surrounding him without fear. He carefully looked at the snakes in the group, opened the bamboo basket, knelt down and said, "Old snake, I'm sorry."
The old snake got into the bamboo basket spontaneously without any resistance.
Da Zhuang followed the same example and put two snakes into the basket, then covered the bamboo basket and played the heart-wrenching flute sound again, and the snakes dispersed one after another.
Da Zhuang took the bamboo basket and carried firewood down the mountain.
The three people were left stunned in the dark.
A boy's eyes were full of disbelief and he murmured: "Master, your eldest brother knows sorcery!"
"Bastard!" Zhang Fugui gave the boy a slap in the face, "Are you blind? How can this be witchcraft? It's clearly the effect of that treasure. That flute is probably the legendary snake flute, which can play enchantments. Group of snakes.
Go back quickly, call a group of thugs, and go to my eldest brother's house tomorrow to get my snake flute back! This treasure must have been left to him by the old guy. "
…
The next day, Zhang Fugui led many thugs into Zhang Dazhuang's home, tied up Dazhuang, and took away the snake flute.
Da Zhuang cried out sadly: "Xiao Zhuang, that was left to me by my father. It is a family heirloom. It cannot be used indiscriminately!"
Er Zhuang came and tried to dissuade them, but Zhang Fugui only had someone beat them up and walked away.
…
Ten days later, Zhang Fugui led a large group of people to the mountains. He said with a smile on his face: "Everyone, that is the Snake Mountain ahead. It is said that there are snake demons practicing in the mountain. It is extremely dangerous and is shrouded in poisonous miasma all year round. No matter how many snakes there are, we can't catch them."
The weird businessmen wearing white scarves looked at the blood-red boulder in the mountains and the dark old forest in front of them, and many pictures appeared in their minds.
"Zhang Yuanwai, since we can't enter the mountain, why did you bring us here?" asked an old man wearing a white scarf.
"Haha, don't worry, everyone. Since I have found all the big snake dealers here, I will naturally have a solution. Please wait a moment!"
After saying that, he took out the snake flute and blew it in a somewhat unfamiliar manner, making a low and long sound.
After a while, everyone felt that the temperature around them dropped suddenly, and countless beasts screamed in their ears. They saw countless snakes spitting out snake letters swarming around them and surrounding more than 20 people, but none of them. Tiao Deng was not aggressive at all.
"Oh my God, why are there so many snakes here!"
"Were these snakes attracted by the flute in your hand? Is this the legendary snake flute?"
"Isn't this too amazing and incredible?"
Everyone was amazed.
But he didn't realize that in the dim old forest, there was a huge red python with murderous intent in its eyes, hiding in the forest.
A black flying ant flew deep into the mountains.
When everyone was surprised and excited, the two Zhang family brothers hurried over and saw them through the group of snakes.
Da Zhuang said anxiously: "Xiao Zhuang, don't act recklessly! Our father said that you must not be greedy, otherwise you will be punished!"
Er Zhuang was quite flexible after his mind came to his senses. He also shouted loudly: "Yes, Xiao Zhuang, if this snake flute can really bring wealth, do you think about why our father doesn't use it?"
"Huh~, that's his elm-headed man. If he takes possession of a treasure mountain but doesn't take it, he deserves to be miserable for the rest of his life!" Zhang Fugui snorted coldly.
"Dear pharmacists, are you satisfied with so many snakes?"
Zhang Fugui, who was holding the snake flute tightly and could break it at will, squinted his eyes and turned a blind eye to the greed of the snake flutes in the eyes of the drug dealers. As long as the other party made the slightest move, he would break the snake flute, which was also a warning to the other party.
