It is said that the older generation has passed down word of mouth that to cultivate spiritual beings between heaven and earth, you need to survive three tribulations, also called the three tribulations of heaven, earth and people. It requires human beings' approval and blessing. This act is called canonization.
Man is the spiritual leader of all things. There is a saying that man is an earthly immortal and can be made a righteous person. This shows that in the process of cultivating spiritual beings, this human hurdle is very important.
Therefore, there are often legends about weasels and foxes in the north who want to cultivate human form and ask for a title from people.
As long as a human being sees it and says something like "You look like a human being", it can be considered as a complete meritorious deed. But if the person it meets does not "canonize" it, then its thousands of years of Taoism will be ruined. Once it happens, you have to start over again.
But there are always exceptions. Snakes don't like to take human form.
The most common cultivation method they choose is to enter the sea and transform into a dragon, and the method of entering the sea is called walking on a dragon.
Big snakes enter the river, and dragons enter the sea.
The big snake needs to become a dragon in order to enter the river through the snake path. Human closure has been of great help to them.
But turning a dragon into a dragon is completely different. It requires the merits of the people and a large number of canonizations by Taoist priests.
When snake dragons are ready to enter the river, they often cause flash floods.
As long as many flash floods are mixed with snakes, they will be driven by the snakes to change their original route, avoid all obstacles, and rush out a road on the flat ground, leading directly to the river.
Most human settlements are on flat areas, which would be very harmful.
Moreover, in the process of entering the river to escape the dragon, they need to go through a "dragon gate" before they can successfully transform into a dragon after entering the sea. And this gantry is the various bridges built by humans.
According to the rules of walking dragons, snake dragons cannot pass under bridges, so when walking dragons come to such a bridge, they will get into the bridge hole and block the flowing water with their bodies. Force the water surface to rise across the bridge, and then take the opportunity to swim away from the bridge.
There is a saying that goes, "A dragon traveling with the current will harm all directions." This is how it comes about.
But it is said that snake dragons will shed their skin in the process of walking. When they enter the sea, they are already dragons and do not need to shed their skin again. It's just that during this molting process, their extremely strong scales will fall off along with their outer skin, and their new skin and flesh will not fully grow. During this process, their physical bodies will be extremely fragile. It is during this stage that they have an instinctive fear and awe of all iron tools.
Therefore, craftsmen who built bridges in ancient times would hang an iron sword, also called the Dragon-Slaying Sword, under the bridge to prevent floating dragons.
People have ways to prevent wandering dragons. After the big snake has access to the spirit, it will also look for objects to help it overcome the disaster and turn into a dragon.
So, what can help them to overcome the tribulation?
It's simple, Neidan.
So, what is inner alchemy?
Neidan refers to the inside of the body, and elixir refers to the product of the combination of essence, energy and spirit in all living objects in the world.
The term Neidan first comes from Taoism. Taoists compare the body to a "furnace" and compare the meridians circulating in the body to the channels for practicing Neidan. Under the strict control of spiritual consciousness, the body's vitality is promoted. The power is to circulate the essence secreted in the body through the whole body through cultivation, so that the essence, qi and spirit are condensed into a "holy fetus" or "elixir".
It is possible that quantity is conserved, and nothing in the world will be created or disappear out of thin air. They can only convert or use each other.
Under such a premise, if spiritual beings want to practice inner alchemy, they must use rare treasures in the world, and at this time, those rare beads have become their first choice.
For example, this one in my hand right now is the Owl Kiss Bead.
Thinking of this, I immediately understood why this giant python suddenly jumped out. It seemed that it had reached the stage of turning a snake into a dragon. It was suffering from the inability to condense the inner elixir to protect its body and overcome the tribulation, so it focused on the book. The owl kiss beads in the arms of the female corpse.
Or maybe for some reason, it couldn't get close to the female corpse, so it kept hiding. It wasn't until I burned the tree that it jumped out of the darkness, trying to kill me and the owl-kissed bead in my hand. Swallowed into the belly together.
I looked at the giant python in front of me and smiled, and said: "Brother Snake, Brother Snake, we are both fallen people from the end of the world, why should we make things difficult for each other?"
The giant python obviously didn't hear what I was saying. After spitting out the snake's tongue twice, it slowly opened its big mouth again, and saliva slowly dripped down from the corners of its mouth, "pat, pat". Not far in front of me.
The giant python obviously had no intention of negotiating with me. It only looked at me for a moment, then shrank back slightly, and the next second it suddenly rushed towards me like a huge spring.
Although this giant python is big, its speed is not slow at all. It was already in front of me in the blink of an eye.
I had no choice but to roll on the spot and grab it to the left, avoiding the giant python's bite.
I was so filled with hatred that before I could get up, I raised my foot and hit the python's jaw with both feet.
My two feet are not very harmful, but they are extremely insulting. This giant python is probably the overlord of these ten miles and eight towns. It has probably never suffered such a loss since it was born. It immediately became furious, and its body of more than ten meters long was in the cave. It was bumping back and forth, and the huge impact caused countless rocks to fall from above, and some of them almost hit me on the head.
I cursed myself in my mind, "You're so damn stupid for irritating this guy. What good fruit can I get from this?"
But things have become like this, and there are only two ways to go before me. One is to grease the soles of my feet and run away, the other is to break the pot and fight with this guy.
As I thought about it, I took a peek at the surrounding environment. This place was surrounded by rock walls on three sides and water on one side. It was unlikely that I could run away, so the only thing in front of me at this time was "Huashan Road". Then Just fight this giant python.
At this point in my thoughts, I couldn't help but feel anxious, gritted my teeth and said secretly: "Come on! I will also let you know today how powerful Lord Ma is. Even if I can't kill you, I won't be able to turn you into a snake so easily... …”
As I thought about this, my left hand began to fumble around my waist, intending to pull out the dagger that had been out of my waist.
The giant python seemed to realize what I was thinking. Its head, which was as big as the Eight Immortals Table, shook violently in the air a few times, and then it bit me straight with its huge mouth.
At this time, I had already pulled out the dagger from my waist and held the handle behind my back. The scales on this guy's body were extremely hard. Although he was not invulnerable yet, I wanted to use this extremely small dagger in my hand to defeat him. Pierce it, that's almost impossible. After much deliberation, I decided to stab this guy in the mouth with this knife.
So, this time when the giant python rushed towards me, I did not hide. Instead, I held the dagger tightly and waited there, waiting for the best opportunity to come.
All the muscles in my body remained tense, so tense that they began to tremble a little.
Two meters, one meter, half a meter...
Watching the giant python getting closer and closer to me, I have been silently calculating the best attack distance.
Although I am not a good hunter, nor do I have the composure and patience of a hunter, but at this moment I know that if I am not calm enough, there will be only one outcome - death.
As time passed by, I finally came to the opportunity and said, "It's now!"
But just when I was about to swing away with my knife, suddenly, a huge black shadow hit me from the side of the giant python.
