Chapter 371: The Truth of the Hidden Stream
The hidden stream is quiet, even Ning Xiaoxian has to admire the order of this demon sect, the demon people are so high, they haven't even let out an exclamation until now, but anyone can feel the imminent movement in the dense forest, it seems that there is an undercurrent that is slowly rising and falling, and the demonic aura is overflowing. The palace in the forest was suddenly full of translucency, obviously shocking the core layer of the hidden stream twice, and there were constantly spirit birds communicating back and forth between the dense forest and the main hall.
I don't know what instructions have been issued in the hall, Ning Xiaoxian watched coldly, and the corners of his mouth hooked an imperceptible arc. Due to the severe tremor, she had already fallen to the ground with the fairy bandits. This time, the earthquake only lasted a few breaths before it stopped, followed by a long period of silence.
However, the station of the hidden stream was busy, and it was not until the end of the day that the number of youkai entering and leaving the palace in the forest decreased. During this period, Qingluan did not forget to assign a special person to accompany them, nominally to take care of the VIPs, but in fact it was to monitor them, lest they run around. At this time, the fairy bandits had been arranged to live in another residence, and the house here was built on the ground, but it was convenient for her.
Ning Xiaoxian turned a deaf ear to the chaos of the outdoors and just breathed quietly. After half an hour, the valley gradually calmed down, and the jungle regained its quietness.
She continued to do her homework until Changtian called her, "It's okay." "At this time, most of the members of the Hidden Stream should have begun to spit light on the moon again.
She had another room to herself. With her previous experience, she pressed the scales back to the ground and infused them with divine power......
The earthquake has started again!
This time, the intensity is at least the same as the last time. The Ba Snake Mountain Range is another burst of chickens and dogs.
At this moment, even the dullest person has noticed that something is wrong. The hidden stream was once again working like a sophisticated machine, but she still noticed that Lin Zhong's sharp gaze was firmly fixed on her group.
Seemingly. The disturbance is not strong enough. After the earthquake was over, she returned to the house, ostensibly continuing to breathe, but in fact she went to Changtian and Qikan Mountain.
An hour later, the earthquake struck again......
Then there is the end of the ugly time, and then the beginning of the Yin time......
On that night, there were no less than six earthquakes! The entire Ba Snake Mountain Range was boiling.
The most exaggerated was the last earthquake. The snake probably rolled over and rolled over hard, and she heard a loud explosion of the ground being torn apart from several directions at the same time. It reminded her of the earth crack she witnessed in the reincarnation platform. Presumably, the ground near here has also been torn open a few big holes, pulling out a bottomless chasm. Her sensitive ears also heard the sound of a large number of trees breaking and crumbling in the forest, if she could add some magma rushing and falling meteors from the sky. It's a scene of the end coming.
In this case. The ground was not suitable for standing people, and the immortal bandits all flew in, but in order to maintain respect for the hidden stream, they only flew to a height of seven or eight meters above the ground.
This time, the disaster situation is severe. Finally, after a message came from the palace in the forest, the sentinels in the dense forest were transferred out in large numbers, leaving only two or three people to stick to their posts. has been tossed five or six times, even if the demons are profound, they are a little unbearable. Ning Xiao waited quietly for a while. Finally waited for Qingluan.
She had a tired face. Both chiefs were absent, and the two lieutenants were currently the highest-ranking lieutenants in the Hidden Stream. She had been busy all night with everyone, and she was a little tired at the moment. She only hurriedly showed up in front of the fairy bandits, comforted a few words, and hurried away.
Ning Xiaoxian knew that Qingluan suspected that her group had something to do with the earthquake in the Ba Snake Mountain Range, so she rushed to check, otherwise why didn't the earthquake happen sooner or later, but after the arrival of the immortal bandits, these abnormal conditions occurred?
The scales she used to make a mistake were naturally taken out by Changtian. This is the scale covering the mouth of the snake's heart, the hardest and the most "intimate", she used the mantra taught by Changtian, after infusing her divine power into it, she can transmit the breath of Changtian to the place where the snake is sleeping.
Originally, this could only be done by Changtian himself. However, who made the divine power flowing around her also come from Changtian?
The power of the Ba Snake is tacitly forbidden to use a qiē escape technique in the Ba Snake Mountain Range, but it can't help but spread such fluctuations - in fact, Changtian himself often summons the true body like this back then. It's just that Ning Xiaoxian's Taoism is too shallow, and the snake's true body is too deep asleep, and it can only receive a very weak signal, which is not enough to summon it from the sleeping place.
A little bit is enough. Although the snake is usually unconscious, the familiarity from the depths of its soul makes it can't help but swing a few times.
That's how earthquakes are triggered. Strictly speaking, it was Ning Xiaoxian and Changtian who teamed up to manipulate the true body of the snake, thus disturbing the hidden current station. However, she didn't feel any guilt in her heart about this, because the hidden current was originally established by Changtian.
Yinliu was originally a sharp sword in Changtian's hand, accompanying him through blood and fire and fighting in ancient times.
This is no secret in the dossier of many ancient sects. Before leaving for the Ba Snake Mountain Range, Chang Tiancai told Ning Xiaoxian the truth about the hidden stream.
As the saying goes, a good man also needs three gangs. No matter how powerful Changtian itself is, it can't be invincible in the era of big demons like the ancient times, so it is necessary to have an army of descendants. Don't say it's him, there were more than 100,000 Great Demon Legions under the White Tiger back then.
The Battle of the Ancients ended in a tragic victory for the demon clan, and the hidden stream was also greatly damaged. Before Changtian was sealed into the Divine and Demon Prison, he ordered all the hidden streams to retreat to the Ba Snake Mountain Range and hibernate, guarding the true body of the Ba Snake on the one hand, and recuperating on the other hand, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback again.
Many years have passed, and Yinliu has become a demon sect, but the internal structure has not changed. It is not essentially a loose sect, but an army. Therefore, it is basically isolated from the outside world, so every monster in the Ba Snake Mountain Range lives a strict and self-disciplined life, because they are soldiers, and they will not be able to disarm and return to the field for the rest of their lives without the amnesty of the long heavens.
The nature of the hidden current determines that the demon soldiers do not need and cannot have much contact with the outside world. The outside world of flowers does not belong to them. Don't say it's here, it's in Huaxia, when have you ever seen an army that can fight well stationed in the downtown area?
What puzzled Ning Xiaoxian was that Changtian had been away for more than 30,000 years, how could he ensure the loyalty of this team? Not to mention that the law of balance of the Heavenly Dao would make the fertility of the big demons always very low, if the demon soldiers of the hidden stream had been dormant in the Ba Snake Mountain for a long time, how would this team replenish new blood and maintain a lineup of at least 100,000 people?
When she asked these two questions, Changtian kissed her several times on the forehead as a reward. This girl has grown up and become smarter.
He has lived too long, and he has long understood that people's hearts are fickle and that the restraint of words is too unreliable. Especially in the face of a long period of time, a qiē can be crushed into powder, including loyalty, blood, and commitment. Even the construction of institutions praised by modern people will slowly deform and decay in the corrosion of time. Without his personal sanctions, without the majestic suppression of the divine beast, this team would slowly get out of his original intention and control, and even finally disappear in the long river of time.
So what he used was not conventional at all. This qiē will also fall on the power that the Eastern Star has given him - the power of Otogi growth.
He spoke eloquently, his eyes shining with a cold light. "The true body of the snake returned to the mountains and fell asleep, and the power of Otogi escaped all the time, and the hidden stream was stationed here, immersed in the baptism of Otogi's power day and night. The ability of the Seven Houses of the East can make the monsters that have been bathed here for a long time also gain the power of growth, and their cultivation progress will be faster, their bodies will be larger and more vigorous, and their lifespan will be at least doubled. ”
"Some youkai themselves have a very long lifespan, which can reach thousands of years unimaginable to humans, so if they are doubled, they will have more time to impact the higher realms, because as we all know, the cultivation of many youkai is piled up by time, and the longer they live, the more profound their cultivation will be. ”
She interjected: "In this way, isn't the Ba Snake Mountain Range a treasure of feng shui that all monsters envy, why does it still maintain its most primitive appearance here, and the number of hidden streams has not skyrocketed?"
Chang Tian smiled, and the white teeth that were exposed brought out a bit of calmness: "There must be pros and cons in everything, how can you only take advantage of the benefits in the world?"
"Although the power of Otogi's growth can give all kinds of benefits to the youkai, but the youkai who have been immersed in this power for a long time will be unconsciously taken away by it, and their dependence on it will become more and more dependent. After only living in the Ba Snake Mountain Range for a month, the monster will never be able to leave it again in this life. ”
She understood. Absorbing the power of Otogi is like taking drugs for youkai. It's just that the addiction can be stopped, but the power of Otogi will take away the mind of the youkai, so that it will no longer be free, and it will not be able to live or die on its own, unless Changtian releases the restraint on them.
In this wonderful world, there are many ways for the great powers to gain the absolute loyalty of their subordinates, such as the blood oath of the Heart Alliance created by Yin Jiuyou, such as Miluo's concentric Gu poison. Changtian just used the gift given by God.
As a result, the original veteran of the hidden stream not only can't betray Changtian in this life, but also can't leave the Ba Snake Mountain Range, and even if he goes out, he will return to Kuài due to the call from the depths of his soul, and at the same time, the power of Otogi's growth has also attracted new monsters to come to the Ba Snake Mountain Range and join the hidden stream.
