Qi Xuansu guessed correctly. This was indeed an eye, an eye with flashing green light. It was an eye without eye sockets or eyelids. It was a single eyeball, hanging high above the Toad Palace. In the darkness around the Toad Palace
In the starry sky, tentacles appeared again, which seemed to be human limbs, except that the body was missing.
These tentacles rolled up many insect-men, and the door of the Toad Palace was opened wide. The insect-men were sent into it one after another, and then there was no sound. This scene seemed like they were eating.
As for the spiritual officials who were innocently involved, including Qi Xuansu, they did not move, which seemed to be not to their liking.
If this toad palace is the true body of the Insect Queen, then the Insect Queen is quite picky and only eats insect humans. Considering that the spiritual world has been closed for so many years, the Insect Queen is really hungry.
What Qi Xuansu saw at this time was a toad palace with a cyan light ball hanging high on it and many tentacles protruding from the surrounding void.
This image is indeed difficult to evaluate. First of all, it definitely does not look like a human being. It is also very different from the image of a big insect in Qi Xuansu's imagination. Whether it is a worm or a beetle, it has nothing to do with it.
At this moment, a voice sounded directly in Qi Xuansu's heart: "Taoist priest, what crime do you deserve for slaughtering my people?"
This is not a sound made by organs such as the throat, but a mind-to-mind communication similar to "other mind communication", so there is no language barrier.
Obviously, the insect queen is not a mindless monster. Even if Qi Xuansu guesses that she has fallen, she can still communicate with her.
What Qi Xuansu is most afraid of is the kind that cannot communicate at all. For example, after being resurrected by the Ten Wizards of Lingshan, Yaoyao completely lost his mind and the ability to communicate. He blindly cannibalized people, and in the end he could only shoot them. Nymphs
Hou Ye was like a fool, completely unreasonable, and wanted to kill people directly. Qi Xuansu really didn't have any good ideas.
Of course, it is very likely that Qi Xuansu is powerful enough and even dangerous, and can no longer be regarded as an ant, so the Queen of Worms is willing to condescend to communicate. If an ordinary mortal met the Queen of Worms, the Queen of Worms would definitely be too lazy to say anything, or just let it go
If it fends for itself, or is crushed to death at will, then the insect queen is an existence that cannot be looked at directly, cannot be known, and cannot be understood. Just taking a look at it will cause her to have a nervous breakdown.
In any case, Qi Xuansu still has a page of the "Xirui Sutra" in his hand, plus a "Buddha Relic" that he was reluctant to use even when he met Zhou Mengyao. Although Qi Xuansu is definitely not the opponent of the Queen of Insects, he can definitely give it to
The Queen causes some trouble.
However, judging from the insect queen's actions of directly devouring the insect people, it is obvious that she cannot be expected to pay attention to the spirit of the rule of law. If she believed that Qi Xuansu was guilty and deserved to die, then she would not ask Qi Xuansu like this, let alone give Qi Xuansu a chance to plead guilty.
Just kill or eat them directly.
But the Queen of Insects still asked this question
, this is just like the method used by some people to first belittle and suppress the other party so that they can occupy the moral high ground, and then open their mouths to make conditions.
Qi Xuansu was no longer Qi Xuansu at Kunlun Pass. Although he was in danger, he did not panic too much. He was still quite calm and kept thinking. He replied, "How can there be any reason in this world to feed on the people of the tribe? I don't think so.
It’s the tribesmen, but the food that matters. Killing the tribesmen should pay with their lives, but destroying the food can at most just compensate them according to the price.”
Of course, Qi Xuansu couldn't talk to the Insect Queen about the Insects breaking the law and the legitimacy of Xidaomen's elimination of the Insects. Wouldn't that be seeking death? He changed his perspective, starting from the Insect Queen's point of view and interpreting the Insect People through the Insect Queen's behavior.
The nature of bug-people, that is, before talking about bug-people, we must first define what bug-people are.
You say it's the tribe, I say it's the food.
Essentially, you still have to pay compensation, but the price is very different.
This becomes a bargain.
They asked for prices all over the place and exchanged money on the ground.
This is what the high-level Taoist priests of the Taoist sect are best at. If you want to have the right to speak in the Taoist sect, or fight within the Taoist sect without breaking out, there are two magic weapons.
The first is to rely on strength, which is the most important. Whether it is background connections, one's own level of cultivation, or job rank, they are all part of strength.
The second is to rely on eloquence, whether it is a matter of giving a thumbs up, or whether it is sophistry to avoid important matters, it all falls into this category. Once you have strength, how to use it is also a problem, even more so when the enemy is strong and we are weak.
When the Borneo Taoist Government was discussing matters, Jiang Dazhen, who temporarily replaced Landa Zhenren as the head of the government, made trouble in the proceedings. Wang Jiaohe relied on his eloquence to make a big move, and pulled Landa Zhenren in, making Jiang Dazhen throw the mouse away.
, thereby temporarily resolving the crisis. If Wang Jiaohe stood up and slapped the table with Jiang Dazhen, the result would probably be that he would be captured on the spot after the discussion.
Qi Xuansu has been in Taoism for so many years and has learned a lot about it.
The voice was silent for a moment, "Who stipulates that you can't eat tribesmen?"
Qi Xuansu said, "The founders of the three religions think it's impossible, the supreme gods of the Westerners think it's impossible, and most of the gods of each pantheon also think it's impossible. This is already a matter of convention."
Both of them fell into silence.
The Queen of Insects is a little torn between wanting to be reasonable and not being reasonable. It is obvious that she wants something from Qi Xuansu, or if she wants to get something from Qi Xuansu, she must speak some truth.
reason.
Qi Xuansu was also a little uneasy.
If Ixichel was standing in front of him, no matter how much higher Ixichel's cultivation level was, he would be able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, because he knew that Ixichel was absolutely sober and rational, and would weigh the pros and cons.
We can talk about everything. With his back to Dao Sect, he is the stronger one.
But the Queen of Insects is definitely not comparable to Ixichel in terms of sanity as she is now. God knows how much sanity is left in the Queen of Insects who has become like this. If she disagrees and becomes angry, no Taoism will work, because Taoism
Just like the law, it mainly plays a punitive role after the fact, and it also serves as a deterrent beforehand - if you do something, I will do it, it's up to you.
If you can't be frightened, there's nothing you can do about it. That's why it is said that if the people are not afraid of death, how can they be afraid of death? .??.??
There is no reason to say that he really wants to die here.
Even if the Taoist sect avenged Qi Xuansu, it would be meaningless to Qi Xuansu.
At the same time, Qi Xuansu was also secretly observing and thinking about what the true form of the insect queen was.
In fact, there are two types of gods.
One is the innate gods, condensed from a certain concept. The representative figures are Taiyin Zhenjun. They are not born and raised by their parents, but are born out of some primitive beliefs. For example, the ancients worshiped the moon. Over time, this belief condensed
When he got up, he transformed into the True Monarch of Taiyin. The ancients thought that the Moon God looked like what the True Monarch of Taiyin looked like. Therefore, the gods of each ethnic group looked like their respective ethnic groups. It is impossible for Easterners to imagine a god with a Western face.
Nor would one imagine a god with an oriental face.
There is another kind of acquired god. Through growth and cultivation, he becomes a god. He can be a human or a demon. If he is a demon, then he has his original form. For example, Kukulkan, his true form is the feathered serpent.
.Wuluo is a human being, but he is a branch of the ancient human race. He is extremely tall, almost like a giant.
Looking at the insect queen, she looks less like a human and more like a demon.
So what exactly is it?
Legend has it that the Yin Moon is formed by the escaping Yin Qi from the sea eye on the bottom of the sea, and the insect queen still has tentacles, and its active areas are mostly close to the sea. It was first in Nanyang, and now it is on the sea. It looks like some kind of big monster in the water.
.
Is it a squid or an octopus?
Not quite.
Because the squid's tentacles don't look like this. They have suction cups on them, and there is no tail fin at the end of the tentacles.
It has tentacles that resemble tail fins, which reminded Qi Xuansu of a strange beast recorded in the "Beishan Jing".<
br>
Qiao Ming's mountain, the Qiao water flows out, and flows westward into the river. There are many Holuo fish in it, one fish with ten bodies, and its sound is like a barking dog, which has been eaten.
Ho Luo's fish, with ten heads and one body, turned into a bird. Its name is old. It was stolen in the pound and died in the mortar. It flies at night and makes a sound, and runs away when it hears thunder. It means that ten heads and one body catch a bird, Ho Luo.
The fish, the ghost car and the bird can be observed together.
The vernacular is that there is a fish called "Horo", with a head and ten bodies. The so-called body is thin and long, but it actually looks like a tentacle. The Horo fish is like a fish with ten tentacles under its head.
.But it just looks like a tentacle, not a real tentacle, so there is a tail fin at the end.
This matches the current appearance of the Insect Queen.
Don't underestimate something like the He Luoyu. Although it cannot be compared with the ancient mythical beasts, it can be regarded as a small Kunpeng.
There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, and its name is Kun. The Kun is as big as I don't know how many thousands of miles away. It turns into a bird, and its name is Peng. The Peng's back is many thousands of miles away. It flies in anger, and its wings are like clouds hanging down from the sky.
Ho Luo fish can also turn into a bird, which is the Guhuo bird, also known as the ghost car, which generally refers to the nine-headed bird. According to legend, there used to be ten of this bird, which can absorb human souls, and one of them was eaten by dogs, so the ghost car is
The ten heads are facing each other again with the ten bodies of He Luoyu.
Qi Xuansu looked at the Queen of Insects again and saw that it looked like a Ho Luo fish.
If it is true that Ho Luoyu became a god through cultivation, then she should be called God Ho Luo. Just like after Kukulkan became a god, he was no longer Quetzalcoatl, but the Quetzalcoatl God. The same is true for the Taoist God Lu Wu.
His name is Lu Wu, followed by the honorific title of God.
But for some reason, she didn't turn into a ghost car.
In this way, it can also explain why the yin moon of the insect queen originates from the sea eye on the bottom of the sea, because the insect queen originally comes from the sea.
It actually corresponds to the bright moon rising over the sea.
As for why the insect queen and the insect people are not the same thing, there is nothing to figure out, because the insect people are the food of the insect queen, just like humans raising pigs to eat meat. As the relationship between eating and being eaten, humans and pigs are of course not the same thing.
Thing. The insect queen is a human, and the insect people are pigs.
In fact, people from the Taoist sect have never seen the Insect Queen, they just take it for granted that she is the Holy Queen of the Insect people.
If someone from the Taoist sect came to the spiritual world and saw the Queen of Insects in person, they would definitely not recognize her as the so-called Queen of Insects, because it would be irrelevant at all.
Acquired gods also have an advantage over innate gods, that is, they have a powerful body, especially when monsters become gods. Even if their divine power is insufficient, they will not disappear directly like innate gods. Regarding this point, Izanozun and Kukul
Kan is an example, you have to kill it twice, once to kill the golden body, and once to kill the real body.
