Chapter 164 Conspiracy the blood of the mirage, thousands of people carnival
Mirage, a kind of mist exhaled by aquatic monsters, can turn things upside down, confuse ships and fishermen, and lure them to prey.
Among them, the small one is called a clam demon, and the big one is called a mirage demon. They are all animals, including clams.
There is a clam demon who opens a clam shell, and there will be meat ropes tied with fish and shrimp-like pieces of meat inside, which can emit smells, squirm, and trap living creatures in the water.
Xu Dao also read in a Taoist book that there is a kind of clam monster on the East China Sea that is three feet tall. The clam shell is open, and there is a beautiful woman inside. The fragrance is fragrant. When a man sees it, he will be lured into the clam shell to intersect with it.
, and was eventually eaten by the clam demon.
If such monsters continue to practice, they will turn into mirages. They will no longer use their own parts as bait. They can breathe mist directly at the water's edge, covering all directions, confusing the living creatures on the shore, walking to the mouth, and finally being swallowed.
Eat.
It is rumored that ships often disappeared in the sea fog in rivers, lakes and seas. When they were finally found, the hull of the ship was intact, but all the people on board were missing and there were no corpses left. Most of them were deceived by mirages and swallowed by the mist.
Xu Dao saw that tens of thousands of people had not taken alcohol such as "Emperor's Liquid" beforehand, but were just shrouded in a strange mist, and they all had hallucinations. In addition, there was a "mirage" scene in the sky, and he immediately judged
The surrounding fog should be a mirage.
"Is it a mirage..." Xu Dao thought, he frowned again, glanced at the scaly body in the shadow of the Dragon Palace, and thought to himself:
"It can suddenly confuse nearly 100,000 people and cover an area of more than ten miles. I'm afraid it's not just a mirage, it may be a mirage or a dragon!"
Thinking of this, he felt a chill running down his spine, but thoughts were also racing in his heart.
The toad monster is a Qi-refining level monster; the mirage monster is a foundation-building level monster; and the mirage monster is a dragon, a great golden elixir-level monster or fairy.
The mirage dragons further up are real dragons, which are comparable to real ghosts and immortals. They are genuine immortal species. Their lifespan and power are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
If Xu Dao wants to build a foundation and have the possibility of breaking through to the golden elixir realm, he must use fairy-level blood as his physical spiritual root.
Combining the vision on the Wuxia River with the scaly figure he had seen in the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the lake, Xu Dao concluded that this object was undoubtedly a mirage.
It is a dragon fairy, and it is just right for him to collect its blood for foundation building.
It's just that the mirage is thick at the moment, confusing everyone, which means that the dragon at the bottom of the lake is not dead, but still alive!
Realizing this made Xu Dao feel fear in his heart, and a chill ran down his spine, but he thought about it carefully and suppressed the fear in his heart.
"The body of the dragon at the bottom of the lake is rotting. Even if it is not dead, it is probably half dead. Otherwise, how could such a big monster be trapped at the bottom of the lake by the mere Shezhao tribe, and even be plotted by the Taoist priests who built the foundation."
After understanding this point, Xu Dao's heart suddenly relaxed, and at the same time, the coveting color in his eyes became more intense.
In this situation, wouldn't it be just like what he prayed for? It would be a great opportunity for him to obtain the foundation-building spiritual root.
He only needs to take the opportunity to obtain some flesh, flesh, muscles, bones, etc. from the dragon at the bottom of the lake, and extract the mirage dragon's bloodline from it, so that he can transform his body and plant his spiritual roots.
And because he was wary of sacrifices, he was currently in the dark, and the Taoist priests did not know that there was a sober Taoist like him among the mortals, who could just allow him to fish in troubled waters.
Of course, there are risks involved, but we don’t know how big they will be.
Xu Dao also glanced at the riverside and found that both the casual cultivators and the monks who had given up the edict were all dazzled and bowed to the seven Taoist priests.
He suddenly thought: "I wonder if any of these Taoist disciples are awake."
If so, he would not only have to be wary of the seven Taoist priests in the sky to avoid being discovered by the Taoist priests, but also restrain his movements among the crowd below to prevent being spotted by the awake Taoist disciples.
After thinking about it carefully, Xu Dao suddenly circulated the magic power in his body, inputting the true energy into the body of Su Jiu next to him, preparing to force the mirage energy out of her lungs, and cast a spell to protect her spiritual platform and make her wake up.
Now that both of them have entered the field, it is better to rely on each other. Moreover, Su Jiu has also been promoted to a Taoist disciple. He also has a long whip weapon in his hand, which may be able to help Xu Dao.
Just when Xu Dao was exorcising mirages and hallucinations for Su Jiu, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder on the ceiling. He listened carefully and realized that it was the sound of conversation.
Thanks to his success in physical training and keen senses, he could barely hear some words from it. Of course, this was also because the seven Taoist priests did not cover it too much and talked carelessly in the air.
A slightly familiar voice said: "Fellow Taoists are so brave, do you really want to send most of the clan members down?"
"It has to be like this. I was stingy a few times before, but now I don't dare to do it again."
Another voice echoed: "That's right, in previous years, the big sacrifices could only hold a thousand people, and the small sacrifices could only hold a hundred people, so they were useless. Mortals, Taoist boys and the like were even more useless. Even the several sacrifices a year seemed to be in vain.
It can only be seen as a splash. In my opinion, it should have been like this a long time ago!"
"It takes thousands of Taoist disciples and hundreds of thousands of mortals to have hope."
"Tsk, tsk! It's such a pity that there is so much blood food. My eyes are greedy and my mouth is greedy, but I just can't eat it." These words made Xu Dao feel familiar again. It should be the Taoist Linghu from the White Bone Temple.
"Hey! If it weren't for Guan Guan, why would I be so eager to give up the edict..."
For a moment, Taoist priest Linghu’s Jie laughter sounded in the sky.
Because the distance was too far, the Taoist priests could not find Xu Dao, and it was difficult for Xu Dao to hear all their conversations. Moreover, only two or three of the seven Taoist priests made sounds. They were not talking about specific or important things, but just casual chatting.
.
Xu Dao peered at it, and he remembered that on his last trip to Black Mountain, all the Taoist disciples came down from the mountain to the White Bone Temple, and this time the sacrifice was similar, or even worse.
Therefore, he guessed in his mind: "Could it be that She Zhao and Bai Gu Guan are preparing something?"
There was too little information, Xu Dao had to suppress this doubt in his heart, then exhaled and said secretly:
"The conversations of these Taoist priests are not as scary as those in the White Bone Temple, nor do they seem to be cannibals...but I don't know whether they are good or bad."
At this moment, Su Jiu next to him snorted and exclaimed: "Is this?"
Xu Dao spent dozens of breaths to expel the hallucination, and she finally woke up.
"Don't be afraid." Xu Dao immediately grabbed her arm and comforted her in a low voice: "There are dense mirages all around. Fortunately, you used the spell just now and were on guard. Only then can you be pulled out of the confusion in time."
"Master!" Hearing Xu Dao's voice, Su Jiu felt at ease.
Before Su Jiu woke up completely, Xu Dao led her and jumped down to the high platform, "You and I should follow the crowd first and talk while walking, otherwise it will be too abrupt."
After the mirage appeared, the 100,000 people on the riverside did not immerse themselves in kowtows and worship. Instead, they stumbled towards the riverside losing themselves. Among them, there were not a few who fell down due to the confusion and were trampled to death.
.
Just under the high platform where Xu Dao and Su Jiu were, there were more than a dozen men and women lying down. All of them walked off the platform and broke their legs.
After Xu Dao jumped off the high platform with Su Jiu in his arms, he mingled with the staggering crowd, thinking in his mind as he walked forward.
He was weighing the danger ahead, whether he should pretend to have broken his leg and stay where he was, or whether he should dig a hole and hide it underground.
Su Jiu, on the other hand, looked at the crowd around her with fearful eyes. She clenched Xu Dao's sleeves tightly, not daring to take even a step away.
In the end, because there was no incident at the scene and the seven Taoist priests in mid-air did not make any big moves, Xu Dao chose to keep his head down and move forward.
It's just that he clutched the jade hook around his waist tightly and didn't dare to let go at all.
Puff! Boom!
Suddenly, there was a strong wind at the scene, and the smell of river water hit his nostrils. Xu Dao raised his head and looked forward, and found that the water of the Wuxia River was rolling, violently lapping at both banks, making a shocking sound.
For some reason, the water surface in the river has risen to the level of the river bank, as if it is about to break free from it at the next moment, with a terrifying momentum.
The person who was confused by the mirage and just walked forward was hit by the strong wind, and his expression became more fanatical. He just shouted: "Wind, wind! Immortal!"
"I also want to eat the wind and drink the dew, the gods will teach me!"
"Dad, Mom! The baby is here to see you!"
Countless voices shouted at the scene, which was extremely chaotic.
Xu Dao looked at the Wuxia River rolling like an angry dragon. His eyes were also filled with surprise and he slowed down for a moment.
However, he suddenly discovered that whenever the river was about to break through the constraints between the two banks, the wide iron cable bridge across the river would vibrate violently, making a rustling sound of iron chains clashing, restraining the river water within the two banks.
After a while, Xu Dao knew why the river water rose and kept rolling.
Because at some point, the seven Taoist priests in the sky had finished their conversation. They stayed together above the dark clouds, suddenly shaking their arms, making strange sounds in their mouths, and shouting in unison: "People come and go, water boils!"
A roaring sound resounded in the sky, like thunder, and six powerful qi jets rose above the river, releasing tremendous pressure that touched many people who were thousands of feet away.
The mortals around him even fell down, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and worshiped again.
There was a shout: "Divide the water!"
There was a loud bang! There was a splashing sound, and the Wuxia River turned to the two sides with the iron cable bridge as the dividing line. It was dozens of feet high and nearly a hundred feet high, revealing the dark bottom of the river.
Xu Dao opened his eyes and looked at this scene, his eyelids twitching, while Su Jiu's eyes widened with shock on his face. The two of them thought at the same time: "What a powerful magic power!"
Xu Dao was also shocked. He thought to himself: "Six foundations can separate a river, and it's not a river in the dry season?"
Although the Wuxia River in the Sheshan section is only three to four hundred feet wide, it has towering cliffs and turbulent flow. The force of the river is even greater than that of thousands of troops.
"No, there is a formation here. Is that a magic weapon?" Xu Dao's eyes fell on the iron cable bridge across the river.
The bridge is as wide as the river and is tied to both sides, emitting a cold metallic luster.
But at this time, it suddenly changed again, continuously elongated, hanging down from the middle, forming a staircase, extending to the bottom of the lake, and submerged beneath it.
Another voice sounded from the sky, and the Taoist priest who gave up the edict said: "Please take action, fellow Taoist Linghu."
"Yes." Taoist Linghu replied. It stood up from the dark clouds, revealing its upright fox body.
Shaking his figure, Taoist priest Linghu took out a bottle from his arm, poured it on the crowds on both sides of the strait, and said: "The rain is falling!"
A stream of scarlet liquid jumped out of the bottle and turned into a line of crimson rainwater falling on both sides of the bank, covering an area of six to seven hundred feet in an endless stream.
Everyone who was drenched by the red rain, no matter men, women, old or young, had ecstasy on their faces and shouted in their mouths.
"Holy water of sweet rain!"
"Thank you immortal for the fine wine."...
"Jie!" At this time, there was another muffled voice in the sky, extremely clear, as if it was said in everyone's ears:
"The palace gate is open, and there is a dragon king having a banquet at the bottom of the lake. We have been ordered to open the door, go quickly, go quickly!"
Hearing this, Xu Dao and Su Jiu looked towards the direction of the iron chain stairs, and found that there was darkness underneath, and they could not see anything clearly, just like a ghost.
They both looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
But the Taoist disciples crowded on both sides of the strait were soaked in the red rain. They each bowed their hands and shouted: "Thank you, Taoist Master!"
Before the words were spoken, these Taoist disciples rushed to the iron cable bridge, climbed to the bottom of the lake, and disappeared from the eyes of everyone.
The mortals who were further away from the river were also crazy. They squeezed into the place where the water was splashing into rain, soaked in the red rain, and then jumped onto the chain bridge with a loud shout and stepped into the darkness.
The crowd started to squirm and kept pushing towards the cable bridge. Even if iron chains and fences were set up on the shore in advance, people were still pushed over and fell off the banks one by one.
Xu Dao and the two men were mixed in the crowd, and without them having to walk alone, they were carried by the crowd and walked towards the river.
Seeing such momentum, Xu Dao had one last thought in his heart: The front is unknown, should they stop here?
At this moment, the sound of rustling voices sounded in the sky again: "Fellow Taoist Linghu has come all the way and we don't want to entertain you much. Please don't be polite and enjoy whatever you want about the humans and animals that will die on the shore later."
"That's right, it's just scraps. Even if fellow Taoists don't use it, we still have to clean it up."
Hearing this, Xu Dao immediately felt shocked and realized that staying on the shore would be a dead end.
Fortunately, another voice came from the sky: "But fellow Taoist Linghu, don't hold on any longer."
"Although we can't enter the Dragon Palace in person, some Taoist disciples will come out later... We have to save some appetite."
"Hahaha!" Taoist priest Linghu's shrill laughter immediately sounded in the cloud: "You are so humble, you all treated me so well!"
When Xu Dao heard this, he became very excited. He thought to himself: "If you stay here, you will die, but if you fall into the water, you will live!" He immediately grabbed Su Jiu and strode forward without hesitation.
Su Jiu was frightened. Seeing that Xu Dao had an idea, she followed closely and did not dare to say anything. It was only when she was about to enter the red rain that she reminded: "Master, the rain is weird..."
Xu Dao immediately replied: "It secretly circulates Qi and blood, don't touch it."
Just like this, the crowd was crowded, the two of them held each other's hands, climbed down the iron chain stairs, and rushed to the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the river...
