In front of a 200-meter-high cliff, a 30-meter-wide waterfall pours down. Above the waterfall is a mountaintop lake called Ice Lake, which is a forbidden area in the village.
The lake is covered with reeds. It is said that the lake freezes in autumn, and the lake ice does not completely melt until the beginning of the next summer, so it is called Ice Lake. During the rainy season, the lake water flies down from the stone wall in front, forming a spectacular flying waterfall.
Cliff waterfall.
Legend has it that there is a big hole inside, which blows hot air out in winter and cold air out in summer. Inside the hole is a big snake as thick as a water tank. All animals and people who enter the glacial lake will be eaten by it.
His father Wang Gui once told himself several times:
"The ice lake is a forbidden area, you can't get close to it!"
In the heavy rain, Tianci looked up at the pouring waterfall, thinking about the old Taoist priest who had just flown into the ice lake:
"I want to become stronger, and I want to avenge my parents and Master Kule! This old Taoist priest is so powerful, I want to worship him as my teacher!"
Faith defeated fear and slowly climbed up the mountain.
An hour later, Tianci appeared on the west mountain ridge. He crawled carefully in the grass on the top of the mountain and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief:
In the pouring rain, on a 400-meter-wide reed pond, an old Taoist in purple clothes was carrying a sword on his shoulder, holding a long stick in his hand, and was fighting with a big green snake more than fifty meters long. The battle seemed to be coming to an end, and the old Taoist's purple clothes were broken, and he was obviously injured.
Seriously injured.
With his feet in the void, golden light protecting his body, and holding a long stick in his hand, the purple-clothed old Taoist like a god was unexpectedly suppressed by the big snake, dodging left and right, surrounded by dangers.
After repelling the old road again, the long green snake seemed to have lost its patience. The snake's tail floated over the reed pond, and the snake's body quickly grew along the cliff. It coiled around a large pine tree on the cliff, and the huge snake head again
Stretching back; at the moment when the snake's head stretched back, the purple-clothed old Taoist just happened to fight back; the snake's tail that had been waiting below suddenly swung, and the old Taoist couldn't dodge, and was hit instantly, flying upward; the huge snake's head just stretched back, and hit the old Taoist
Swallow it into your mouth.
It was too late, but soon, the old Taoist raised the long stick in his hand against the closed snake's mouth. Taking advantage of this gap, he successfully flew out of the snake's mouth. At the moment of flying out of the snake's mouth, there was a 'click' sound, and the long stick was caught by the snake.
His mouth burst into pieces; after escaping from the snake's mouth and losing his long stick, the purple-clothed old Taoist turned into a golden light and flew quickly out of the ice lake; while flying, he pulled out the dark sword on his back; the green snake's body quickly grew longer and chased after the old Taoist.
.
The snake's body grew significantly faster than the old Taoist priest's flying speed. Just as he was about to be swallowed by the big snake again, a dazzling white light fell from the sky, followed by a 'bang' of thunder.
Thunder punishment!
Along with the rumbling thunder, the dazzling thunder and lightning turned into two streams: one hit the snake's neck, knocking the snake's head down into the reeds; the other hit the pine tree on the cliff, breaking the snake's body coiled on it.
The remnants of thunder and lightning scattered along the mountain in the rain, instantly knocking out Tianci who was prostrate on the west mountain ridge.
I don’t know how long it took before Tianci slowly woke up.
The heavy rain has stopped long ago, blue-gray clouds cover the sky and the sun is covered, and everything around the ice lake is quiet. The big snake and the old man have long disappeared, as if they were in a dream!
Tianci did not act rashly. He lurked in the grass and carefully looked at the entire ice lake:
Most of the originally lush reeds in the ice lake have collapsed; there is a green and white snake body where the reeds connect to the mountain behind; there is still a snake tail hanging down from the pine trees on the mountainside.
After watching for a long time and confirming that there was no abnormality in the safety, Tianci slowly walked towards the ice lake.
The snake next to the ice lake is more than ten meters long and 30 centimeters in diameter. It has a green back and a white body. There are some small scales scattered on the green snake's back. Among the reeds by the lake, there is a large snake head half a meter wide.
Looking at the blue scales on the snake's head, Tianci swallowed hard.
Legend has it that snakes have infinite lifespan. A snake that cultivates for 500 years becomes a mang, a snake that cultivates for 500 years becomes an anaconda, an anaconda that cultivates for a thousand years becomes a dragon, and a dragon that cultivates for a thousand years transforms into a dragon.
This snake has grown scales and is obviously evolving into a dragon.
There is a snake tail hanging down from the big pine tree halfway up the mountain. There is a protruding stone platform next to the pine tree.
Climb up the steep mountain wall to the stone platform on the mountainside.
The stone platform is four meters long and three meters wide. Behind it is a one-meter-wide opening, and a thick pine tree grows on the east side.
With a trace of curiosity, Tianci entered the cave. After passing through a two-meter-long corridor, he came to a square stone room that was 40 meters long and 30 meters wide.
An old Taoist with white hair and purple clothes was sitting in meditation with his back to the entrance of the cave and facing the wall. Tianci immediately knelt down, kowtowed to the old Taoist, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Teacher, teach me!"
Silently, the old man sitting cross-legged turned around.
Looking up to see the old Taoist face clearly, Tianci was so frightened that he instinctively wanted to get up and run away.
The old man in purple clothes had white beard and hair, but he had a pale, lifeless face; black blood was flowing from his eyes, ears, nostrils, and corners of his mouth.
Seeing the old Taoist bleeding from all his orifices, Tianci suppressed the fear in his heart, put his forehead to the ground, and knelt down again.
After a long time, an iron sword was suspended in front of Tianci's head, and a command sounded in his mind:
"Use this sword to get the snake gallbladder and the demon elixir from the snake's head."
Tianci wants to worship the old Taoist as his teacher and learn powerful Taoist methods. Of course, he must perform well in response to the old Taoist's first order.
Carrying the sword down the mountain, unsheathing the sword, using a sharp sword to cut open the snake carcass by the lake, and taking out the fist-sized snake gallbladder. When I was in the Lotus World, I often did this, and I was familiar with it. But what kind of demon elixir did the snake head take?
, but it stumped Tianci. I have never heard of any demon pills in snake heads. But since the old Taoist priest gave such an order, he must have a reason.
Relying on the sharpness of the sword, after several efforts, he successfully opened a slit on the top of the snake's head. The dazzling golden light suddenly shot out from the slit, and the shining Tianci quickly covered his eyes to avoid it. As the light dissipated, a light yellow circle the size of a fist appeared.
The ball floated quietly on the snake's head. God was so happy that he took off his clothes, wrapped the ball and the snake's gallbladder, and climbed up the mountain.
Kneel down on the ground, put the iron sword, snake gallbladder, and demon pill in front of you.
The fist-sized snake gallbladder slowly flew up and disappeared into the old Taoist priest's mouth; the light yellow demon elixir hovered in the abdomen.
After a long time, a long sigh came:
"Hey!~"
Tianci looked at Lao Dao curiously.
An old divine thought sounded in my mind:
"Sit quietly in the cross-legged position, hold the demon pill in both hands, and let the spiritual energy in your body circulate according to the guidance."
A picture of the movement of spiritual energy suddenly appeared in Tianci's mind, and at the same time there was a ball of spiritual energy traveling around the body, which seemed to be guiding the movement of spiritual energy.
According to the order, grab the demon pill and practice it quietly.
The demon pill exudes a soft golden light, and magically penetrates into the hand. The golden light slowly gathers into the Dantian of the abdomen as the spiritual energy circulates in the body, and actually opens up a magical Dantian space.
All the golden light and spiritual energy entered the Dantian space, and the space became larger and larger.
I don’t know how long it took, but all the demon elixirs in my hand disappeared. Tianci was still with his heart in the sky, and he felt the space in his Dantian slowly getting bigger.
A palm-sized villain slowly flew out from the old Taoist priest's chest. Upon closer inspection, he looked exactly like the old Taoist priest. The palm-sized villain was hovering in the air, seeming to be trying to adapt to the environment; he turned around and saw that the seven orifices were bleeding.
The old Taoist then looked at Tianci who was concentrating on his practice. He stepped lightly with his little feet and disappeared into Tianci's abdomen, entering the expanding Dantian space.
With a flick of the villain's fingers, Tianci's consciousness was driven out of the Dantian space almost instantly.
Tianci's entire consciousness was squeezed to his head, and his body below the face was completely unconscious.
I don’t know how long it took, but the old Taoist priest with a big palm actually voluntarily exited the Dantian space and returned to the old Taoist body.
Tianci regained control of his body and woke up instantly. He appeared at the entrance of the hole with a bounce and looked warily at the old Taoist priest who was bleeding from his seven orifices.
The old Taoist priest's eyes were closed tightly, as if he had died long ago. After a moment, a spiritual thought sounded in Tianci's mind:
"Hey!~ You are also a miserable child! Sit down."
Tianci hesitated for a moment and finally sat down.
"You saw the battle with the snake demon just now.
Sixty years ago, Pindao accidentally traveled here and discovered this powerful snake demon.
It is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the Tao.
I fought with him several times, but the poor man was not good at learning and I ran away every time, but this monster never left this place.
Pindao speculated that there must be a big secret here.
While the snake demon was going through the tribulation, Pindao attacked again.
The sky has eyes, and two thunderbolts killed the snake demon.
The poor man was overjoyed and wanted to come to this cave to find out.
In a moment of carelessness, the snake-headed remnant succeeded in sneak attack, and the snake Xinzi was injected into Pindao's body.
