Chapter 332: The Essence of the Jungle (32)
As soon as he heard Xu Xuzheng assert that he would never be able to regain his former divine power from now on, the sergeant suddenly hugged his head and fell to the ground and cried.
Who knew that the sergeant had just cried twice, and was swept away by Xu Xuzheng, who was meditating cross-legged beside him: "What a useless hairy brute, the old man has tried his best to tell you so many past events, but is it to listen to you hug the number one mourning here?!" ”
Even if the sergeant's brain was not bright, he could hear what Xu Xuzheng said, and hurriedly wiped it on his face with a bear paw, and sat down respectfully again.
I saw Xu Xuzheng nodding with a slightly gloomy face: "Finally, you still know the severity." The old man no longer beats around the bush...... Since Su Juan successfully picked up a life from the thunder tribulation, the old man combined the content he saw with his own eyes on the side and Su Juan's oral experience, and optimized and improved the method of the Heavenly Demon Secret Book through the Thunder Tribulation, and then he finally took the plunge and went into battle to experience it himself. ”
In Xu Xuzheng's view, this thunder tribulation method derived from the Heavenly Demon Secret Book has two major shortcomings, one is that the time to wait for the clouds in the sky to gather and generate thunder is too long before the tribulation, and it may even wait for a whole day without seeing the thunder fall.
If you wait for a long time, it is easy to distract the thunderbolt, and it is difficult to concentrate all your energy to meet the test given by God at the moment when the lightning strikes.
In addition, for the vast majority of thunderers, the power of most heavenly thunders is too strong, and Rao is thunderers have already used the medicinal power of pills to quench their whole bodies to the bottleneck, and it is difficult to survive the kind of strong thunder that is powerful enough to split mountains and rocks.
Only a few lucky people who were favored by Creation were lucky enough to encounter that kind of weaker Heavenly Thunder, and they succeeded in becoming immortals and won a great opportunity.
Xu Xuzheng is not the kind of person who can entrust his life to God's decision, so this person racked his brains and finally thought of a way to weaken the heavenly thunder.
This method is called 'owl kissing'.
The so-called 'owl kiss' is the metal decoration of the two ends of the palace roof ridge that stood high to the sky in the past, and shaped the fishtail of the beast's mouth.
According to legend, in the second year of the first year of the Han Dynasty (130 BC), Weiyang Palace was hit by a thunderstorm and caught fire.
When the palace was rebuilt, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty specially asked his adviser Dongfang Shuo how to avoid being destroyed by thunder and fire in the future.
And Dongfang Shuo presented the 'Owl Kiss', a strange beast with a head and fish tail, which is said to be the third son of the dragon...... So the dragon really has a lot of friends, but what kind of animal is the dragon born with?
According to Dongfang Shuo, the 'Owl Kiss' likes to store a large amount of water in its throat, so the 'Owl Kiss' often opens its mouth to receive rain from the sky, and can quickly spray water to extinguish a fire nearby.
Legend has it that Dongfang Shuo commanded craftsmen to cast two bronze statues according to the image of 'owl kissing' with their heads up to catch the rain, and then the two bronze statues were placed at both ends of the roof ridge of Weiyang Palace after reconstruction.
Strange to say, since the bronze statue of the 'Owl's Kiss' was placed on the ridge, the newly built palace has never caught fire due to lightning strikes.
There were even palace maids and eunuchs on duty at night who saw a bolt of lightning slashing straight on the roof of Weiyang Palace.
However, when the agile craftsmen of the Tianming faction climbed the bamboo ladder to the roof to repair the roof ridge, they found that the entire roof ridge was intact? Not even a single piece of broken cylinder tile could be found.
Isn't this proof that the 'Owl's Kiss' can withstand lightning and fire?
So Xu Xuzheng pretended to be in the name of the Jinyi Guard Yamen? Looking for a caster from the Ministry of Labor, he opened the furnace and cast a pair of bronze statues of 'owl kisses' weighing about 30 catties.
After that, Xu Xuzheng spent a lot of effort? Finally found a rock mountain that meets the requirements of the Heavenly Demon Secret Book.
Thereupon? Xu Xuzheng drove a carriage to quietly transport the bronze statue of 'Owl Kiss' to the top of the mountain for placement, and then spent money to buy a hare from the hunters in the mountain and tie it to the bronze statue of 'Owl Kiss'.
Xu Xuzheng also had a whim to draw some stream water with a bamboo tube and pour it into the belly of the bronze statue of the 'Kiss of the Owl'.
Further back? Just quietly stand aside? Hold your breath and wait for the thunder to strike this bronze statue of 'Owl's Kiss'.
Interestingly, it seems that God doesn't want Xu Xuzheng to wait too long...... On the night when it was all set up, an electric python the size of a bucket slashed straight down from mid-air, hitting the tail of the fish that had been cocked into the air.
However, when Xu Xuzheng cautiously crawled out of the cave where he was hiding? Want to step up and see if the hare is alive or dead? Suddenly, a pungent fragrance wafted from the place where the bronze statue of 'Owl Kiss' was.
As soon as he smelled this fragrance, Xu Xuzheng was slightly stunned at first, and then ran to the bronze statue of 'Owl Kiss' in the distance with a frightened face.
When Xu Xuzheng walked to the bronze statue of 'Kiss of the Owl' and took a closer look, he shouted "Oops".
It turned out that the pungent fragrance emanated from the hare tied to the bronze statue of the 'Owl's Kiss...... Rabbit cooked, rabbit fur burnt? The rabbit skin is broken, and the rabbit meat is fragrant.
Seeing that more than ten days of sleepless preparation finally only got a roasted whole rabbit that has not lost its hair? Rao is heart is like iron, Xu Xuzheng couldn't help but stomp his feet again and again, gritting his teeth and scolding.
However, just scolded two sentences? Xu Xuzheng's attention was suddenly drawn to a black bean swimming in the stream water filled with the big mouth that opened upwards in the 'owl's kiss'.
After taking a closer look, Xu Xuzheng suddenly exclaimed: It turned out that the black bean was actually a big head and a thin tail...... Tadpole?!
Just because Xu Xuzheng was a little anxious when he used a bamboo tube to fetch water in the stream? So there was a tadpole that didn't have time to run away and was scooped into the bamboo tube by it? And then poured into the big mouth of the bronze statue of 'Owl Kiss'.
Right now, this tadpole is swimming around freely? Doesn't it mean that the nemesis of thunder and fire in the sky is precisely the water contained in the mouth of this 'owl's kiss'?
Inspired by this tadpole of 'immortality', Xu Xuzheng made a drastic transformation of the bronze statue of 'Kiss of the Owl', so that the water of the 'Kiss of the Owl' dripped down the forehead of the cultivator who was about to cross the catastrophe like a timed leak.
In this way, the thunder that fell from the clouds no longer had the power to burn people to pieces, but they still did not lose the power of pushing blood and medicine.
It's nothing more than that after the power of the heavenly thunder is attenuated by this time, it can no longer help the robber to complete his work once, and it often requires this person to be hacked by the thunder several times......
"Listen to that hairy beast, if you want to recover your previous strength, you need to take the initiative to experience the thunder tribulation, and use the power of the heavenly thunder to form a golden pill in your body; Wait for the golden pill to refine the body again, and the divine power can be revived day by day. It's just that with your current weak body, forcibly crossing the thunder tribulation is undoubtedly a life of nine deaths. ”
I saw Xu Xuzheng stretch out his hand to touch the tip of the sergeant's nose and shouted: "It's a gamble on all your luck, and fight to the death for the chance of becoming king again; Or continue to hide in fear, begging the hunter not to make you a bearskin mattress...... Say, which path do you choose?! ”
