Chapter 343: The Demon Clan in the World is Different
This gate was temporarily made by the formation mage of the Tang Dynasty and the real person who carried the water.
In order to check the identity of the person who came, although there is a shortage of people in the Two Realms Mountain now, not all cats and dogs can come over. The identity of the person who comes must be strictly checked, and in addition, it cannot be a Taoist monk.
Only the real person who carries the water is an exception.
The demon clan is of all kinds, tens of millions of races, and many bloodlines, and most of them have a long lifespan. The demon clan attaches great importance to the bloodline, and those with strong bloodlines are born as kings! Those with weak bloodlines are born with humility, and are even labeled as slaves.
They are not good at the power of the law, but they are strong in their own qi and blood, so in terms of martial arts cultivation, they will prefer to temper their own physical bodies. But after reaching a certain realm, I have to start to comprehend the law, after all, not every demon clan has those powerful bloodlines that can carry the power of the law in the flesh.
Moreover, although the demon race is inferior to the human race in comprehending the laws, some big demons with aristocratic bloodlines, they are born with an affinity for a certain system of laws, which is a talent that humans do not have.
The demon race can be divided into three major races - Heavenly Demons, Earth Demons, and Ancient Demons.
Among them, the Heavenly Demon is the nobleman of the demon clan, all of them have a long history, and there is the noble blood of the ancient demon flowing in their bodies, but the richness of the bloodline varies greatly among the disciples of different families.
The Heavenly Demon is a high-level demon race, but its appearance is biased towards the human race, and it is born in the form of a human baby, except for the difference in the nature of the bloodline, the appearance is almost the same. Members with a strong enough bloodline can awaken the power of the ancient demon clan as they grow! They can incarnate into ancient demons, which is their ultimate combat form.
The gap between the Earth Demon and the Sky Demon is huge.
They are actually some beasts, plants and trees, after growing up for a long enough time, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, one day suddenly generating spiritual wisdom, slowly cultivating the Tao, and finally turning into human form. They possess human-like intelligence, and the number of offspring is getting bigger and bigger, and they slowly evolve into a clan of goblins.
When the descendants of the earth demon are just born, they often still have the form of demon beasts, such as babies with canine teeth, claws, hair, tails, etc., and they can completely transform by slowly cultivating.
When the Earth Demon Clan faces the Heavenly Demon Clan, they have an innate inferiority complex, but in the face of the Human Race, they have an innate sense of superiority. The physique of the earth demon clan is obviously stronger than that of the human race, but the understanding is far inferior to the human race, and the IQ is still worse than that of the human race.
The ancient demons are actually the ancestors of the heavenly demon clan, they are the beginning of the formation of the universe, the essence of heaven and earth, and they are the first generation of life in this universe, similar to the natural gods.
The ancient demons have a strong mythological color, such as the ancient demon dragon in the legend of the demon clan, Bai Ze and so on. They can also reproduce, but their reproductive ability is ridiculously low, and the number of ancient demons was originally scarce, and later, it was almost extinct.
The Twelve Ancient Demon Gods are the twelve powerful ancient demons born from the beginning of the formation of the universe, the beginning of chaos, and the heavens and the earth, they should not even be called 'ancient demons', they are natural gods.
Twelve demon gods, nine in the front
They are: Sun Candle Illumination, Taiyin Netherworld, Houtu Dao Tree, Dragon Emperor, Colorful Phoenix, Kunpeng, Celestial, Lethe, and Silence. In addition to these nine demon gods, the remaining three demon gods are a mystery.
The twelve demon gods are the saying of the demon race, and the twelve ancestors are the saying of the human race. In fact, the twelve demon gods and the demon race are not closer to the human race, in the final analysis, the twelve demon gods actually symbolize the beginning of the heavenly way.
In this regard, it is more appropriate to use the name of the human race, the Twelve Dao Ancestors.
Only the demon clan of the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Heaven called them demon gods, believing that the twelve demon gods were the ancestors of the demon race, but in fact, there were also human races, and the twelve demon gods were identified as their own ancestor totems.
In Kyushu, China, there is a scripture called "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", which records these monsters.
Dayu used to control the water, exhausted his energy, filled the abyss with resting soil, painted the ground with the dragon, killed the giant against the wind, chased the water god to work, and punished the hydra...... Defeat the demons in the world, and the country is finally at peace.
At this time, Dayu is already very old, he knows the power of the demons, worried that after his death, this generation will be resurrected, there will be no one to control, so he collected the gold of Kyushu, cast into nine Yu Ding, the picture on the tripod is engraved with Vientiane, Lin Zeyue blasphemy, the charm of the ghost, the dragon, the snake and the tiger, the mountain demon and the sea monster, all of them are complete, with great divine power, enough to suppress all evil demons.
And "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is the atlas on the tripod.
In addition to animals and plants, there are also non-living things such as mountain spirits, stone monsters, and even tables, chairs, and benches, which can also be cultivated into essences. As for the issue of age, whether it is an animal or a plant, the time it takes to cultivate to become refined is quite long, and just a few decades is not enough.
There are many animals that have cultivated to perfection, and the one who is best at cultivating and most likely to succeed in cultivation is the fox.
Volume 10 of "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" says: "The characters are different, the fox is between the characters, the dark and bright are different, and the fox is between the dark and bright." The fairy and the demon have different paths, and the fox is between the fairy and the demon, so it is said that the fox is strange, and it is also common to meet the fox. "Foxes are between humans and animals, yin and yang, and fairies and demons, that is, they are the closest to humans mentally, so they are most likely to succeed in cultivation.
Of course, the time for fox cultivation is by no means short, as mentioned in the above article, a certain Confucian is friends with an old pedantic fox spirit, and every time the fox spirit chats with him, he always advises him to cultivate, saying, we can work hard for one or two hundred years before we can cultivate into a human body, and experience food and drink like you humans, men and women, birth, old age, sickness and death.
Only then can you continue to cultivate to ascend to the Immortal Realm. You are now a human body, which is equivalent to most of your success, and you are still so muddy, you would rather die with the grass and trees, which is a pity.
Regarding the process of cultivation and upgrading, as well as the advantages of human beings over fox spirits, the article "Fox Scholars Persuade People to Cultivate Immortals" in Volume 1 of "Zi Bu Yu" is more detailed: "Like a fox, learning immortals is the most difficult. Learn the human form first, and then learn the human language. Those who learn the language of birds must first learn the language of birds, and those who learn the language of birds must learn the language of birds from all over the world.
Omnipotent, and then able to speak as a human voice, in human form, has been in the form of a human for 500 years. People learn immortals, and they have 500 years less work than heterogeneous immortals. If nobles and literati learn immortals, they will save three hundred years of merit compared with mortals. The great rate of learning immortals, thousands of years to become, this theorem also. ”
Now the demon clan is attacking the Two Realms Mountain, also for their survival home.
When Xie Baoshu was a child, he had heard some stories of "plants and trees becoming essences".
The trees were originally quiet, not agitated, however, in the pictorial of the Great Sui, the trees became spirits, mostly hideous and terrifying, and people were helpless. Compared with the ferocity of animal spirits, tree spirits are not inferior.
The hideous and terrifying tree spirit, but afraid of the carpenter, just like some animal spirit monsters will be afraid of the butcher, some Confucianism believes that the carpenter is equivalent to the butcher of the tree, and the body has accumulated too much murderous energy, so it will make the tree spirit feel afraid.
There are several willow trees next to the avenue in Shandong Plain County, all of which are thick and hugging, one day, the trunk of the willow tree is cracked, "the belly of the tree is cracked out and the characters are counted", the shepherd boy saw it, and rushed to pick it up. These little people are only an inch long, some wear crowns, some wear small hats, some men and women, some old and young, different lengths, but they are all full of energy, and there are donkeys, mules, cows, horses and other livestock, small and cute, just like the real thing, is this made in heaven, or is there a craftsman who makes it to play tricks on people?
The legend of the villain has existed since ancient times. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" has a villainous country, and "Liezi" has a small country, all of which are small villains. Tang Dynasty Duan Chengshi "Youyang Miscellaneous Tales" said that Li Zhangwu had a specimen of a Chinese national, about three inches long, complete limbs, and distinct facial features. Later generations of Lilliputian stories mostly evolved from these classical sources.
Wang Tingzuo of Zhili Hejian Mansion was riding a horse at night and was blocked by a big tree. This was the road he often walked, and he remembered that there was no big tree here, so he had to bypass it, but he knew that the tree could move, or it was in front of him, and the horse gradually became tired, and the man fell into confusion.
At this time, two carpenters that Wang Tingzuo knew before passed by. The two carpenters saw Wang Tingzuo standing stupidly, and for some reason, Wang Tingzuo pointed to the tree and said that the tree was strange. The two carpenters were already drunk at that time, and shouted loudly: "There is still a big beam missing from the Buddha hall, and I happened to meet a big tree." The two men took axes and saws and went straight to the tree, which turned into a whirlwind and disappeared on the spot.
When a great Confucian heard about this, he thought that the tree spirits were afraid of the carpenters, just as the fox spirits were afraid of the hunters, and that the power accumulated in them was enough to deter the demons.
Li Wei, that is, Li Shu is a monster. The most vicious of the grass and tree spirits is the Li monster in Chang'an. There is a local surname rich in the world, there is a big garden at home, there is a plum tree in the garden, several people hug together, up to more than 100 feet, it is an ancient tree of hundreds of years. There was an old man, dressed in a crimson robe and a gauze hat, who appeared on the top of a tree, looking at the wind and the moon. The family picked up stones and threw them at him, and the old man became angry and began to make trouble, and the family continued to get sick, and the clothes were automatically broken, and there was no peace.
The master was worried, and he invited monks and monks, but he couldn't defeat Li Wei. After that, another mob, in the shape of a monkey, flickered on the tree and threw stones down from a great height. Li Wei's disaster could not be eliminated in the end, and the family's assets were also lost countless as a result.
The plum tree is fine, and there is a big one and a small one, the big one is wearing crimson, which is also the color of a simulated plum, and the little monster who helps the abuse does not know what it is. It's true that the monsters are so vicious
It's rare.
In Kyushu, there are also all kinds of monsters, but compared to the outside world, they are honest.
There is an old man in Yuanzhou Village, who has a strict and honest personality, and his family is also rich in wealth, which is valued by the people of a township.
One day, a large group of people surrounded a young man in purple, who came to the door to ask for entertainment, and the staff did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly prepared good wine and meat to set up a banquet to entertain them, and the staff also personally served on the side.
But after a while, the staff suddenly thought: "Whether it is an official of the state capital or an envoy of the imperial court, there is a special place for hospitality, how can they come to my house to ask for something to eat?"
When the young man realized this, he said to the outsider: "If you doubt me, I can no longer hide it, I am not an ordinary man, but a mountain god here." ”
The outsider was startled and bowed down to the tunnel: People are constantly worshipping you every day, how can you be so depressed that you have to beg for food?"
The mountain god replied, "All human beings sacrifice to me for blessings, but when I am beyond my strength, if I cannot bestow blessings on others, I will not dare to enjoy the sacrifices he has given me." I heard that you are an elder, so I came to ask you for a meal. ”
After eating, the boy left his seat and said goodbye, and disappeared as soon as he went out.
The god of the mountain and the river is also a monster, and sometimes, it is very fun.
Min Chu, a monk of Fayun Temple in Guangling, once had a very good relationship with a businessman surnamed Zhang, and when the businessman surnamed Zhang died, Min Chu also recited scriptures for him.
And just a few months later, at the bazaar, Min Chu actually met this dead merchant surnamed Zhang again. At that time, Min Chu had not yet eaten, so the merchant invited him into the restaurant and chatted while eating.
Min Chu asked the merchant, "You are dead, why are you still here?"
The merchant replied, "Because I had a small sin in my life, and I will not be able to escape my hard work after death, I am now worthy of being a leftover child in Yangzhou." ”
Minchu asks what is plunder?
The merchant replied, "All the people of the world have a certain amount of profit that they can make in their business, and what is more than a certain amount is a surplus, and I can plunder it for myself." There are many people like me in this world. As he spoke, he pointed to the people who came and went on the street and said, "Someone, someone, just like me." After a while, a monk passed by, and the merchant said, "This monk too." The merchant also called the monk to him, and the two talked for a long time, but the monk never noticed Min Chu, who was sitting next to him.
After sitting for a while, the merchant and Min Chu went out into the street, and met a woman selling flowers, and the merchant pointed to her and said, "This woman's flower is also sold by ghosts, and only ghosts can use this flower, and this flower is useless in the world." ”
After that, the merchant paid for one and gave it to Min Chu and said, "Anyone who laughs when he sees this flower is a ghost." Then he took his leave. The flower is red and delicate, very cute, but it is extraordinarily heavy, Min Chu held this flower, and walked towards the temple in a daze, along the way, many people smiled after seeing the flower.
When I was about to enter the temple, Min Chu suddenly realized that I had been in contact with the ghost for so long, and I was still holding the flower given by the ghost in my hand, but it was not after all
Good thing, so he threw the flower into the ditch by the roadside, and when the flower fell into the water, a clear sound could be heard.
After returning to the temple, the other monks found that Min Chu's face was wrong, thinking that he had been poisoned, and hurriedly brought a decoction for him to drink, and it took a long time to recover, and then told people what happened along the way. So the people went together to look for the flowers that Min Chu threw in the ditch, but there were no flowers at all, only the severed palm of a dead man.
An official named Ma Ju was going to Shuzhong to take up his post, and it was after the war, and he was taking a small road, so there was no one on the way.
After nightfall, he came to a pavilion, and when he heard the voice of someone talking under the east corridor, he went over and explained his purpose, and hoped that he could stay overnight. The voice just said, "There is a bed in the middle hall, go to sleep if you like." ”
Seeing his cold attitude, Ma Ju didn't say anything more and went to the middle hall by himself. When he arrived at the church, he called for a fire to light a lamp, and the other person replied, "There is no fire." So he called for a mat again, and in a moment, a roll of mats flew out of the neighboring house, which could weigh more than a dozen catties, and it was a hidden weapon when he smashed it. But Ma Ju was naturally ambitious and courageous, so he didn't mind it, and spread out the mat and lay down to sleep.
In the middle of the night, suddenly there was a black shadow that looked like a monkey, tiptoeing onto Ma Ju's bed, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.
After dawn, Ma Ju said goodbye to the owner of the pavilion in a loud voice, but the other party hid in the room and said to Ma Ju angrily: "I saw you alone last night, and kindly asked my son to be your companion, but you are good, you almost didn't kill him!"
The horse lifted forward to push the door, but could not push it open, and looked through the gap and saw that there was no one inside, only dust.
During the first year of Tang Xianzong, there was a scholar named Wei Sigong who was from Luoyang, and he had a good relationship with two young scholars of the same age, one surnamed Dong and the other surnamed Wang, and went to study in a temple in Songshan together.
There is a mountain spring in the northeast of this temple, and there is a large stone basin polished on the rock at the mouth of the spring for the monks to draw water. The circumference of the large basin is more than ten meters, and it can probably hold ten hundredths of water.
He then stepped forward and dismounted to greet the Taoist priest: "The Taoist chief is polite, but if you accidentally get lost, I hope the Taoist chief can show you the way back to the city!"
This Taoist priest looks like he is thirty or forty years old, with three locks of black beard under his chin, a thin face, and a pair of eyes that are as bright as a torch, and he also smiled and snorted after seeing Lu Junchang, and said: "I didn't expect to meet Tai Shou in this wilderness, there is a way back to the city three miles west from here, the noble man should hurry up and beat the horse, I'm afraid I will be in the rain if I stop for a while!"
Lu Junchang looked at the sky, the sun was shining, there was no cloud, how could it rain?
The dog's waist was slender, but his chest was full of muscles, and he swayed as he walked, as if he was about to fall down and touch the ground. Lu Junchang didn't look like these two dogs like hunting dogs, and it was even more strange for this monk to bring two dogs
Blame.
"Dao Chief, where are you going?"
"You don't need to ask, the wind and rain are urgent, let's go quickly!" the Taoist priest said and walked forward quickly.
Lu Junchang shook his kung fu, and the Taoist priest disappeared. He hurriedly got on his horse and chased after him, but he didn't even catch up with him after running out of the tea!
I heard two dog barks in my ears, and I saw the two big white dogs running towards a small lake just now, but there was no Taoist priest in sight.
Lu Junchang was about to urge the horse forward and go to the lake to have a look.
I saw the two dogs "plop" twice and jumped into the lake.
In an instant, I saw the surface of the lake surging and stirring, the water vapor steamed, and then the water in the entire lake seemed to be boiling, and suddenly two huge white dragons jumped out of the lake, winding and coiling, and flew straight into the sky!
I have heard a lot about these mortal things, and Xie Baoshu has different thoughts about the demon clan in his heart.
This was the third time he had come to the Two Realms Mountain, and it was very different from the previous two times.
This time, he's not ready to go!
