Section 5? Traces of the Enemy
In the end, Yunxiang failed to become a disciple of the big man.
He knew very well that cultivating the demonic path was the only way for him at the moment, but cannibalism was still a hurdle that he couldn't overcome.
He could understand that the big carp and Haitang and the thin-faced man could eat people. From their perspective, it was like people eating wild animals. It was not right or wrong, but he couldn't do it himself.
It's like a line said by an actor in his previous life: "It's not illegal to kill someone, so I can't do it." After all, he had been a human being for thirty years in his previous life, and even though he had traveled through time for more than three years, he had always regarded himself as
People see it.
If he did such a thing as cannibalism, he would no longer be a human being and would have nothing to do with his previous life. This was the final bottom line in his heart.
The next day, he came to the cave again, met the big man, and told him that he really didn't want to eat people.
When the big man learned about it, he was immediately amazed and became even more curious about this little demon who didn't want to eat people.
Originally, the big man had no problem accepting him as his disciple, so he did not make things difficult for him. He just told him that he had never seen or heard of cultivating monsters and not cannibalism. Of course, the "old friend" was in a special situation.
, is an exception, but cannot be copied.
The man liked wine, so Yunxiang secretly sneaked into the village at the foot of the mountain every night, stole some good wine and put it at the entrance of the man's cave to win the man's favor. Naturally, he could not be troubled by such things as welcoming people and sending them off.
The big man became more kind to him because of this. After that, Yun Xiang visited the cave several times. The big man chatted with him casually and gradually lost his suspicion.
Yunxiang asked the big man his name several times, but the big man refused to tell him and just asked Yunxiang to call him "Ancestor Rong."
As for what kind of animal Patriarch Rong was originally, this kind of thing is too private. If the big man didn't take the initiative to tell him, he would naturally not be able to ask.
Yun Xiang's conversation often impressed Patriarch Rong with admiration. Especially when he casually talked about some worldly affairs and principles of the world from time to time, Patriarch Rong sometimes benefited a lot, and sometimes he even took the initiative to ask questions.
The white horse flew away, and more than three months passed in the blink of an eye. Yunxiang and Patriarch Rong became more familiar with each other. They did not become masters and disciples, but seemed to have become friends.
Ancestor Rong has been a demon for thousands of years and is very familiar with the cultivation of monsters. Talking to Yun Xiang these days also gave him a systematic understanding.
In this world, cannibalism is an indispensable step in the cultivation of monsters.
Monsters can eat people and absorb human spiritual intelligence in order to unlock spiritual wisdom. Before death, people have resentment, which can be refined into monster energy, and then guided by the demon world's skills, they can become monsters.
When the demonic energy accumulates to a certain level, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes, triggering the wrath of heaven and earth, and raining disasters of wind, fire, and thunder. If you can resist it, the demon body will be washed away, transformed into human form, and become a demon saint, with extended blessings and longevity.
If you can't bear it, your body and soul will naturally be destroyed. Most of the monster legends Yunxiang heard in his previous life were of this kind of monster saint.
As for Demon Saint, if he wanted to go further, he would need a great opportunity. Patriarch Rong did not elaborate, and he did not ask again. This was really too far away from him.
Ancestor Rong always scorned Yunxiang's unwillingness to eat humans, thinking that he was severing his own cultivation path and would be unable to make progress in his life.
He never wanted to mention that "old friend" who didn't eat people, but Yunxiang could tell that he should have deep resentment towards this "old friend", but he was also a little envious. The relationship was a bit complicated, and he was a little bit jealous.
Can't guess.
These days, Patriarch Rong also taught him some body and spirit training techniques, which made Yunxiang feel that he had gained a lot of benefits. Of course, in Patriarch Rong's words, these techniques were all "low-end methods, too many"
Habits are useless”.
Yunxiang also discovered that Patriarch Rong seemed to hardly need to eat, and there was never food in the cave. He only had good wine. After drinking, he would complain a lot, blame the world, blame ghosts and gods, blame monsters, blame friends, blame everything, but
They all spoke very vaguely, and I felt like I was depressed and was drinking to drown my sorrows.
Of course, the wine Yunxiang stole was not enough to drink. Sometimes when the wine was finished, Ancestor Rong would go out of the cave, ride a black demonic wind and disappear. When he came back more than two hours later, he would bring back a few
A hundred jars of good wine.
He didn't go out much, only four times in three months. Of course, Yunxiang didn't know whether he went out to eat or even ate people during this period, and he didn't want to know.
On this day, Yunxiang went to the cave to look for Patriarch Rong, but saw that he was not in the cave. He guessed that he must have gone to get wine, so he waited peacefully outside the cave.
About an hour later, I saw a black demonic cloud coming from the distance, and a moment later I saw Patriarch Rong appear at the entrance of the cave.
Ancestor Rong was very happy when he saw Yunxiang. He said hello casually and took the lead to walk into the cave.
Just as he was about to enter the cave, he suddenly heard bursts of wind and thunder behind him, sweeping in from a distance. The target seemed to be this mountain as well.
Ancestor Rong froze. He was startled at first, and then shouted angrily: "Where did you come from, how dare you follow me?"
Yunxiang was also surprised and said: "Old Ancestor, an enemy has come to visit?"
Ancestor Rong waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's just an ant. I'll go and have a look later. Little toad, just hide and don't get hurt accidentally."
After that, he turned around and walked outside the cave again, standing proudly on the flat ground outside the cave and waiting.
Yunxiang knew that he could not help much, so he hurriedly took three steps and then two steps, hid in the entrance of the cave and looked outside.
The wind and thunder in the distance, sandwiched by a blue cloud, chased to the top of the mountain in an instant. Then, the thunder cloud dispersed, and two figures appeared in front of Patriarch Rong.
I saw those two people, tall and tall, wearing golden helmets and armor. One of them was holding a large sword, and the other was holding a sword. They were majestic and extraordinary.
Yun Xiang was shocked when he saw this. The clothes and appearance of these two people were the same as those of the legendary heavenly soldiers and generals. In addition, they came on clouds, and this ancestor seemed to have messed with the gods.
Ancestor Rong, however, seemed to be dismissive of the two people in front of him and sneered: "You two bastards, why are you following me? Do you think you have a long life?"
The two heavenly soldiers and generals were shocked when they saw the extraordinary temperament of Old Ancestor Rong. Then one of them looked at Old Ancestor Rong carefully, and then he smiled and said: "I don't know who has such a strong evil spirit, but it turns out that he is driving
The Great Sage is here, but we are being rude."
The Great Sage of Expelling Gods? Why does this name sound impressive? I just can't remember it for a moment, so Yun Xiang can only guess secretly.
When Patriarch Rong heard this, he said curiously: "You two are quite knowledgeable, and you actually know me. I have no longer used that title, and you don't need to mention it. Which of the Heavenly Courts are you subordinates to? But you are here to find me."
trouble?"
Heavenly Court? This amount of information is huge. Could it be that these two people are really heavenly soldiers and generals?
Hearing this, the man clasped his fists and said, "The two of us came from the mouth of the Guanjiang River. I'm General Meishan Zhijian, and this is my brother Guo Shen. We just met by chance, so naturally we don't dare to cause trouble to the Great Sage."
