Chapter 44: Overseas Ant Demons
Gu Ming said coldly: "You know very well what I said, the matter has come to this point, and there is no turning back......
"I don't believe it!"
The nine-headed insect was completely furious, and rushed towards Gu Ming like crazy.
It's just that this is just a manifestation of the battle of trapped beasts, a futile struggle.
There are only six heads left, plus the pain of the previous injury, what else can the hydra turn over?
The only thing it hoped for was that Poor would turn around and save it.
However, under the joint attack of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, and trapped in the chess game, where is the spare time to take care of the nine-headed insect?
It didn't take long for the nine-headed worm to become a five-headed worm......
Four-headed worm ......
Tri-headed ......
Two-headed worm ......
Single-headed ......
Until...... Headless insects.
After solving the nine-headed insect, Gu Ming flew over to help Sun Wukong's senior brother deal with Qiqi.
This guy is much more difficult to deal with than the nine-headed insect, after all, it is an ancient fierce beast, I don't know how many tens of thousands of years of cultivation, it can almost be called an immortal and immortal body.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to completely destroy it, unless it is at the level of a saint or a great god close to the level of a saint.
Even if it was the Great Luo Jin Immortal, there was no chance to destroy it.
Therefore, Gu Ming's current purpose was only to consume Qi Qi's physical strength and spirit as much as possible, and then seal it when he was weak.
So, the three of them took turns to fight, mainly fighting, in short, not to let Qiqi have a chance to breathe.
If it's a small fight, with Qiqi's strength, I'm afraid it's no problem to continue fighting for half a year.
However, the chess game laid out by Gu Ming has a natural restraint effect on it, and Gu Ming's use of Confucian mantras makes Qi Qi even more tired of coping.
Moreover, the power of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie is also a big threat to Qiqi.
The battle lasted for three days, and Qi Qi finally fell into a weakened state, and his movements seemed ferocious, but it was clearly the end of his strong crossbow.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Ming attacked with all his might, and at the same time used the spells of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie naturally assisted with all their might, and finally sealed this guy in the valley.
For the sake of insurance, Gu Ming added another seal and a phantom array in the valley to hide this valley from someone from entering by mistake.
In fact, even if he could destroy Qiqi, Gu Ming would not destroy it, but would only seal it.
Listening to the tone of the land, this poor strange should have something to do with a certain great god...... For example, mounts and the like.
This is not surprising, Tang Seng and his entourage have encountered many similar situations on the way to learn scriptures, such as the green ox of Taishang Laojun and the goldfish of Guanyin Dojo......
These great gods all like to keep pets, and once their pets are in the lower realm, they are all demon kings.
If this is the case with Qiqi, if he really wants to kill him, he will inevitably form a grudge.
Therefore, sealing it is the best way, there is room for maneuver, after all, the seal can be lifted, and the big deal is to let Qiqi lose some of his cultivation.
As soon as Qi Qi made a seal, the mutated beasts that had been infected by the evil force before also began to slowly return to normal.
In this way, the people in the Genting Mountain area can be regarded as surviving a crisis.
The task was completed, Gu Ming and the three returned to the sacrificial country, and sent the relics to the palace, explaining in detail the reason for the theft of the relics in front of the king.
The king was convinced of this.
To say that what he heard before was a legend, but this time he saw Gu Ming and the three of them descending from the sky in the clouds and mist, proving that the legend was true.
The important thing is that the relics have been recovered, and the past is naturally not to blame.
So, the king ordered the release of the imprisoned guards.
At the same time, he personally went to Jinguang Temple and apologized to the monks in person.
The people also knew that the monks of Jinguang Temple had borne grievances, and they went to offer incense, pray, and repay vows......
After that, Tang Seng temporarily stayed in Jinguang Temple to exchange Buddhist scriptures with a group of monks, and at the same time would take time to preach Zen to a group of people every day.
Of course, Gu Ming was not idle.
With the strong support of the king, the preparations were completed in less than half a month, and a academy with a capacity of about 500 people was opened in the festival country.
It seems that the scale is not large, but the total population of the Saisai country is only 20,000 or 30,000, and the scale of 500 people is already very good.
The curriculum of the academy includes knowledge of Tang culture, Confucian culture and so on.
At the same time, Gu Ming also personally selected more than a dozen people to teach and teach relevant cultivation methods.
These dozen or so people are equivalent to the spark left behind, and after Gu Ming leaves, they will take over Gu Ming's work and take up the position of teaching in the academy.
Almost two months later, Gu Ming inquired about Tang Seng and learned that Tang Seng would stay in the sacrificial country for about two or three months, so he decided to go back.
Anyway, there are tens of thousands of points now, and I don't care about consuming 5,000 points.
After deciding on the itinerary, Gu Ming flew back to Chang'an City for a few days, arranged some follow-up matters, and then returned to Liaozhai World with Nie Xiaoqian.
……
"Childe is back!"
"Mr. is back......"
The news of Gu Ming's return soon spread, and the entire Guobei County, including the academy, suddenly boiled.
Gu Ming didn't hide at home, he first hosted a banquet for some local celebrities in the largest restaurant in the city, and then went to the academy to teach in person for several days, which made the students of the academy excited.
After years of development, the scale of the college has become larger and larger, and the teaching mode has become more and more mature.
At present, there are almost 6,000 students in the College, of which nearly 1,000 are students of the Women's Branch.
These students come from all over the country, and some even come from other places.
The College has always welcomed students from other countries.
However, it is not accepted when you see someone, and you also have to go through selection and assessment, and you can only enter the school after passing the test.
In the past, the purpose of the vast majority of scholars in the world was to become officials, and most of the scholars were also named "weak scholars" in the eyes of the people, and they were called weak scholars.
There are even many people who read books who are proud of it.
When others are stronger, they scoff at them and call them reckless.
But that view has now shifted.
First, it was influenced by the academy founded by Gu Ming, and second, the imperial court also added the assessment of physical fitness during the imperial examination.
For example, traditional skills such as swordsmanship, bows and arrows, at least they must be the same.
If you don't know these, then at most you can get a show of fame, and if you want to be lifted, you must exercise your physical fitness, be able to write and martial arts, and be qualified to enter the official career.
As a result, it also triggered a nationwide trend of martial arts.
In the past, the imperial court was always worried about "chivalry and martial arts", but the final result led to the confrontation between the court and the rivers and lakes.
There are many people in the martial arts who have no concept of the country and the court at all, ignore the constraints of the laws of the court, and are only loyal to their own sect or master.
Or they don't listen to what's going on outside the window, no matter who controls the world, even if it's an alien invasion.
This kind of clear opposition has always existed, and it has not demonstrated the benefits of the imperial court's ban on martial arts at all, but has caused many drawbacks.
Looking at history, the vast majority of those who really subverted the imperial court were only ordinary people......
Fortunately, under the impetus of Gu Ming, the Great Yan Dynasty finally made up its mind to cancel the ban on martial arts, and even encouraged the people to practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies.
At first, there were many ministers who vehemently opposed it, but now it is ...... There was not a shred of opposition to be heard.
The Great Yan Dynasty did not mess up because the whole people were martial, but became more and more prosperous and powerful, and the soldiers were strong and strong, so that foreign enemies did not dare to act rashly.
Although not every ordinary person has the conditions to practice martial arts, at least the proportion of people who practice martial arts has increased significantly.
Especially for scholars, almost everyone has to practice a few hands, otherwise there is no chance to pass the exam.
In the evening.
In the dining room, a large family sat around for dinner.
In fact, on weekdays, except for the people in the house, Yu'er and the others almost don't know how to eat, after all, they have already reached the realm of Bigu.
And a lot of times I was in retreat, sometimes for two or three months or even longer.
However, Gu Ming is back, and the family naturally wants to reunite.
After years of cultivation, Ying Ning has also grown into a big girl, and she seems to be ashamed, but she is actually quite close to Xiaoqing.
This girl belonged to the kind of personality that killed decisively when she didn't transform before.,Often slap opponents to death with one claw.。
This is quite similar to Xiaoqing.
It's just that Xiaoqing's pungency can't be hidden, and anyone can see her personality at a glance.
Ying Ning is different, people who don't know her think that she is delicate and weak, and she really wants to fight, this girl is not ambiguous.
And she has now evolved from three tails to five tails, and this progress is also quite amazing.
Of course, this is also thanks to the elixir given to her by Gu Ming, as well as the careful teaching of Nie Xiaoqian's mother and daughter.
Xiaoqing is almost over.
Originally, Gu Ming was going to take her to the Journey to the West World to survive, but Bai Suzhen was a little worried, afraid that Xiaoqing would not be able to cope with it, and if something happened at that time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, she persuaded Xiaoqing to retreat for a few more years, and it would be much better to improve her state of mind.
Xiaoqing is also obedient, after all, this is a big deal.
After the tribulation, it is equivalent to cultivating a positive fruit, and at that time, it will no longer be a demon, but an immortal.
After staying at home for a few days, Gu Ming went to the palace again, stayed for a few days, and then teleported to the Qin Shi Mingyue World.
After all, he is still the Great Qin National Teacher in this world, and he should also contribute some statecraft from time to time.
For Gu Ming's arrival, the tide banshee was naturally pleasantly surprised, needless to say......
After staying for almost a month, Gu Ming returned to the world of Liaozhai.
Just two days after he returned, Fahai suddenly came to the door......
"Master Fahai, it's been a long time, please take a seat."
"Amitabha, when I heard that my son had returned home, the poor monk hurried over, and I am afraid that I need my son's help to solve something."
Gu Ming's eyebrows moved: "Oh? What's going on? ”
"In recent years, poor monks have been traveling overseas, both to promote Buddhism and to broaden their experience and improve their cultivation.
A few days ago, on an island in the deep sea, I encountered a group of ant demons......"
"Ant-demon?"
Gu Ming couldn't help but be stunned.
Speaking of which, there are records of ants becoming sperm, but he has never seen them once.
And it's probably not easy for ants to become sperm, after all, it's so small, it's not smart at all, it's all based on natural instinct.
"Yes, in fact, the poor monk has seen an ant demon before, it is a queen ant essence, but the body is not large, maybe the size of a puppy, and it is very weak.
But what he encountered this time was greatly unexpected by the poor monk.
The group of antdemons ranged in size, the small ones could be the size of a sea bowl, and the large ones were about the size of an adult wolf.
These ant demons are frantically devouring life on the island, whether it is people, animals, or even some of the island's spirits.
The poor monk wanted to get rid of these ant demons, but found out that ...... These antdemons seem endless.
Later, the poor monk finally discovered that they had miraculous regenerative and healing powers.
At first, the poor monks were able to deal with it, but then they seemed to have their eyes on the poor monks......"
Hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't help but be surprised: "So, with your ability, you can't solve these ant demons?" ”
Fahai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There are many of them, some are underground, some fly in the sky with wings, and some crawl on the ground.
Moreover, it can spit out a very corrosive acid......
Under their flood of attacks, the poor monk was indeed difficult to deal with. So, I returned to the Central Plains to find a helper.
As a result, I happened to hear that you were back, so I came to the door to ask for help. ”
"No problem, when are you leaving?"
"It's up to you."
Gu Ming thought for a while and said: "In this way, we will leave tomorrow morning, since you have arrived in Guobei County, why don't I go and call Shifang, let's have a few drinks together, and we will catch up with the old days." ”
"It's good!"
Fahai is not a rigid person, although he does not touch meat, but he will not mind drinking.
As a result, as soon as Shifang heard about this, he had to shout to go to see it for a long time.
So, the three of them drank wine that night, while catching up, and drank until dawn.
After that, they made some preparations, and set off for the island that Fahai had mentioned about noon.
The people of the Great Yan Dynasty generally referred to the depths of the East China Sea and the South China Sea as overseas.
There are many large and small islands in the depths of the sea, these islands are not under the jurisdiction of the Great Yan Dynasty, some are desert islands, but some islands are inhabited by many people, and even form a country of their own.
Since ancient times, there have been rumors that there are fairy islands overseas, so it has attracted many people who like to travel and take risks, or immortal cultivators to go out to find immortals.
However, the sea is vast, and no one can tell what kind of dangers are hidden in the depths of the sea.
Even immortal cultivators can hardly guarantee their own safety in the sea, let alone those so-called adventurers.
Among the three, Shifang was the weakest, and in order not to delay the trip, Gu Ming took out a flying magic weapon.
This magic weapon was "confiscated" in the Poor Strange Cave Mansion.
Of course, Gu Ming did not swallow it privately, and gave some to Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie.
When I returned home, I gave a lot to Nie Xiaoqian, Yu'er, Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, Ying Ning, Snake Ji, and my mother-in-law.
After all, Gu Ming doesn't have a hobby of collecting, as long as things are enough.
I don't know where Qi Qi collected this magic weapon, which looks like a boat, but it can be big or small.
It can be incorporated into the palm of the hand as a handicraft to play, and the largest is about the same as a ferry, which can accommodate more than a dozen people, and can fly in the air and water.
However, it must be driven by real energy.
"This thing is so good!"
Sitting in the spacious cabin, Shifang looked at the scenery under the sky with some envy.
Fahai knew the goods and said: "This magic weapon is very ancient, it should be an ancient thing. ”
"Well, it's a treasure from Poor Qi's collection."
Gu Ming smiled.
"Poor Qi?"
Shifang couldn't help but be taken aback.
After all, he had only heard of this thing, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.
"Yes, but not in this world......"
"Uh......"
It's no secret that Gu Ming can travel through time and space.
Of course, others only say that he has any magical powers, and they don't know the existence of the system.
Besides, at Gu Ming's current level, what if others knew? How many people can help him?
