With a thunderous thunder, the big snake was struck into three pieces. The old Taoist priest who was about to escape was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly flew back to check the snake corpse. The snake head fell into the water, and with all its remaining soul, he let out a final sound.
With the blow, Snake Xinzi shot into the body of the old Taoist priest carrying poison and infinite resentment.
The old Taoist priest's body was destroyed, his golden elixir shattered, and only a little bit of Nascent Soul was left struggling.
"The poor Taoist thought that snake gall can detoxify and then use the demon elixir to prolong life. Unfortunately, he underestimated the resentment and toxicity of the evil beast.
Now the physical body has been destroyed, the golden elixir has collapsed, and only a little bit of Nascent Soul is still struggling.
I originally wanted to use the demon pill to help you open up the space in your Dantian, but then the Nascent Soul invaded, killed your consciousness, and took your physical body.
Naihe overestimated Yuanying's strength!
The heavenly soul is dead, the human soul is dying, and an earthly soul Nascent Soul can only carry part of the divine soul.
If the Nascent Soul seizes the body, it is neither you nor me. That is not what a poor man wants.
I have practiced cultivation all my life, and I have been upright and aboveboard. Now that my life is approaching, I almost have bad consequences.
The most important thing for a monk to cultivate his mind is to have a clear mind.
To seek a temporary remnant of life and go against one's original intention is not what a poor man wants."
Tianci once again changed from a sitting position to a kneeling position.
After a while, the old Taoist priest's spiritual thoughts sounded again:
"I just entered your sea of consciousness, and I know what happened to you.
Having obsessions is not a bad thing.
Hatred cannot be forgotten, but don't be overly obsessed with it, let alone become a karma in your heart.
Set a big goal and implement it step by step.
First you have to adapt to this world.
In today's technological civilization, there are also opportunities for advancement.
This is a treasured land. The fact that the snake demon can cultivate here shows that this place is not simple.
···
You have good qualifications and are a good practitioner.
I have the heart to take Pindao as my teacher, but Pindao is about to live a long life."
Hearing this, Tianci knelt on the ground again.
After a while, the divine thought came back:
“That’s it, that’s it!
Find an opportunity to go to the Imperial Capital Baiyun Temple and hand over this Kunyang Sword to Master Sujiao. As for the result, it depends on your luck."
Tianci hurriedly kowtowed.
The old Taoist priest, with black blood flowing from his seven orifices and a pale face, slowly raised his head, looked through the entrance of the cave, and looked into the distance. After a long time, a long sigh came from:
"Hey!~
A thousand people practice Taoism and a thousand people die, but in the end it’s all in vain!”
The palm-sized old Taoist priest appeared again. As the villain left his body, the old Taoist priest's body slowly collapsed and turned into a pool of black water in an instant.
The golden light of the villain flourished, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a transparent ball the size of a fist; the ball turned into a white light, shot into Tianci's mouth, circulated with the spiritual energy, and sank into the Dantian space.
As the golden light disappeared, a set of methods for cultivating luck appeared in his mind. Not caring much, Tianci hurriedly sat down in meditation and practiced according to the exercises in his mind.
I don’t know how long it took before I finally woke up from practice.
With the help of the Big Snake Demon Pill and the origin of the old Taoist monk's monastic life, the Dantian space in the abdomen is now large. The inner space is two hundred feet long and gray. In the middle, there is a gray spiritual energy group the size of a head. The spiritual energy group continues to absorb and release spiritual energy.
, the spiritual energy passes through the Dantian space, circulates along the whole body, and finally returns to the Dantian.
Looking carefully at the stone chamber, it is forty meters long and thirty meters wide. It is square in shape, completely natural, without any trace of excavation. There is a layer of dead branches and hay piled on one side, and there is a pool of black liquid in the middle. There is nothing else.
Outside the cave is a protruding stone platform four meters long and three meters wide. On the east side of the stone platform is a large and sturdy pine tree. The pine tree is more than eight meters high, but very strong. The branches have large outlines and just cover the stone platform. The tree trunk
It's very thick, visually the two of them hugged each other:
"It would probably take thousands of years for such a thick pine tree to grow on a rocky cliff like this that lacks soil and nutrients?!
It’s so thick, no wonder a big snake can wrap around it.”
After carefully looking around the big pine tree, I found that there is a small "companion" tree on the east side of the pine tree. After taking a closer look, I was first surprised, and then overjoyed. It turned out that the companion tree was not a pine tree, but a six-door tree.
Liudaomu, also known as 'Liubengmu' or 'Dragon Subduing Wood' in the village, can ward off evil spirits and stabilize the house. Almost every family in the village has one or two. He has several in his own home. His father, Wang Gui, also explained it in detail.
I introduced it to myself. The most gratifying thing is:
This 'Dragon Subduing Wood' is no longer a simple six-sided Dragon Subduing Wood. Ordinary Dragon Subduing Wood only has six textures and six edges, but this Dragon Subduing Wood has eight sides and eight edges.
Legend has it that only when the 'Six Paths Wood' evolves into the 'Eight Paths Wood' can it be the real 'Dragon-Subduing Wood', which can defeat heavenly dragons from above and kill evil spirits from below. This has always existed only in legends.
After a little thought, Tianci understood the whole story:
When the big snake grew bigger, its body coiled around the two trees. The thunder from the sky broke the snake's body and also broke the Dragon Subduing Tree. The bright red snake's blood dyed half of the tree trunks red.
Tianci even suspected that the second thunderbolt was aimed at this dragon-subduing tree!
Anyone who has seen the Dragon Subduing Wood that has evolved from six edges to eight edges, the Dragon Subduing Wood that has been struck by lightning, and the Dragon Subduing Wood that has been struck by lightning and is stained with the blood of dragon-turned-snake goblins, will know that it is a priceless treasure.
Holding the stick body, he gently broke it off, and it came out directly. It turned out that the roots of the Dragon Subduing Wood were all broken by the lightning.
Sitting on the stone platform, I carefully studied this dragon-subduing wood: it is about 1.2 meters long, with four and a half sections, just enough to hold in one hand; the cyan outer skin is round, and the round skin has eight dark lines, corresponding to the eight edges of the core of the wood;
The dark red wooden heart has eight sides, and each segment of the eight edges is dislocated; the blue-gray skin is half dyed bright red with snake blood; the dark red wooden heart is partially dyed with snake blood, making it appear black and shiny;
The fracture was struck by lightning and was uneven, leaving many sharp wooden thorns; the root was an irregular wooden lump the size of a fist.
Overall, it looks like a small wooden mallet with a long handle. The mallet is dotted with some root fractures. The fractures are red, white, or black, and the colors are actually different.
"nice one!"
A stench came from below, and it turned out to be rotting snake heads, snake corpses, and the snake tails that had fallen off long ago.
"The corpse of such a powerful snake demon is rotting. How long have I been here?"
Use wooden branches to dig a big pit on the west mountain beam and bury the rotten snake carcass and snake head; then use the Kunyang Sword to dig out the entire pool of black water in the cave and bury it on the east mountain beam.
After all, the Big Snake Demon Pill and the old Taoist priest's monastic origins were all obtained by him. These two people can be said to be his 'benefactors'.
After burying the two benefactors, Tianci dove into the lake and washed away the black mud all over his body.
After washing, with a thought, my body emerged from the water, slowly rose into the air, and slowly flew towards the stone platform on the mountainside.
Flying in the air.
Since the Dantian space was opened and the spiritual energy condensed, Tianci felt that he was as light as a swallow. By controlling the spiritual energy in his body, he could fly in the air, although the speed was very slow.
But this is remarkable progress.
On the stone platform, while resting and observing the surrounding environment, I finally felt the extraordinaryness of this place:
This valley is called Changsnake Valley in the village; the highest peak at the bottom of Changsnake Valley is called Chair Mountain; all of Chair Mountain is covered with cliffs and rocks, with almost no grass or trees visible; there is a low mountain on the east and west sides in front, and the tops of the mountains are also stone cliffs, bare.
No grass or trees can be seen; the main mountain and the two auxiliary mountains are connected by earth beams. If you look north from the south mountain of Tianshe Valley, the three mountains of Chair Mountain are a standard "pin" shaped three mountains. The three mountains surround a mountain about 300 meters long and about 300 meters wide.
The 400-meter mountain col is a lake, which is what the villagers call the "ice lake". The entire "ice lake" is covered with a layer of reed swamps. The ice lake plus three mountains look like a chair as a whole.
Northwest to southeast.
Standing on the stone platform, looking along the ice lake, it is the "city wall" of the Nanshan Mountain of the Tianshen Valley. The city wall is the Nanshan Mountain of the Changsnake Valley, because the top part is a large vertical cliff more than 30 meters high and 500 to 600 meters long.
It looks like a city wall, hence the name. The dark gray cliff is inlaid with a pile of white flints, which are messy.
Tianci stood on the stone platform, overlooking the chair mountain, the ice lake, and the city wall in the distance. It was like an emperor sitting on a dragon chair, admiring a long picture.
