Chapter 52 Shu Mountain Trip (2)
"During the period of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty (500), because of his belief in Buddhism, he denounced Shushan as an evil demon, and recruited countless monks and mages to build pagodas on Shushan, and the 'Shushan Alliance' fought hard, and Emperor Wu of Liang was defeated. After this battle, the vitality of the 'Shushan League' was greatly injured, and many sects that took alchemy and bait, and ate qi in the secluded valley as the cultivation method were almost wiped out because of their weak combat effectiveness, and the Xianjian faction made great contributions in this campaign because of its high magic strength, at that time, the head of the Xianjian faction unified the 'Shushan League' more than a dozen sects, and established the 'Shushan Xianjian faction', referred to as the 'Shushan faction', and at the same time built a lot of construction around the lock demon tower, and the Shushan faction was formally formed.
Since then, the Shushan Sword Immortal has basically taken the Shushan Immortal Sword School as the mainstream, and the cultivation method focuses on internal strength and swordsmanship. At the same time, it does not exclude the cultivation methods of other sects, and actively collects and preserves all kinds of immortal cultivation methods. Lu Wu said.
"Oh, that's amazing!" Meng Yimiao said with a look of adoration, "Isn't it the same as what was staged on TV, they are all dressed in white and holding a long sword!" ”
"Well, in fact, everyone will wear clothes of other colors when they practice in private, and the TV series is too beautified and exaggerated. It's just that now, the disciples of the sect have decreased sharply, and they have long lost their fame, so the magic weapon secret book of Shushan has become a fragrant fragrance in the eyes of all forces. Lu Wu said this, slightly worried.
"Don't worry too much." Mo Yuan saw that his face was very bad and comforted.
Then there was another silent hurrie, and as the sky grew darker, the people came to a wood, but strangely enough, the forest was dead silent, and there was not even a sound. This abnormal sight also made everyone wary.
"Everyone, don't act rashly, I think this forest is very strange, Lu Wu, you are familiar with this place, do you know what's going on?" Song Xianzhang asked.
"It's normal when I used to pass by here, there will be a lot of birds and all kinds of small animals in it, the sound is messy, it won't be as quiet as it is now" Lu Wu also looked puzzled.
"Then you wait here, I'll go and explore the truth first." Song Xianzhang said.
"Hey, be careful." Meng Yimiao hurriedly admonished.
Song Xianzhang came to the entrance of the woods and summoned the fierce spirit. Without saying a word, the huge and majestic fox opened its mouth and spewed out a chilling green flame into the woods, and the flames extended into the woods, and none of the trees and flowers were damaged, but there were a few screams inside.
Song Xianzhang and Lu Wu glanced at each other, followed the voice and walked into the woods first, and the three people behind followed closely.
After walking in, Song Xianzhang found that there was only a pile of black smoke left in the place where he screamed before, and he squatted down to take a closer look at the touch left by the person who was burned to death before, could it be that the person who was ambushed here was still organized by the Devil?
Mo Yuan and Lu Wu, who followed up, also had different expressions when they saw the things under his feet, they were also very familiar with this kind of thing, and at this moment, several figures sprang out from around the forest and surrounded everyone, all dressed in black and holding short knives.
At the head were two black-scarfed and masked people, who couldn't see their faces clearly, and could only tell from the perfect figure of one of them wrapped in black clothes that they were a woman, while the other was tall and mighty, obviously a man.
It was the man who spoke first, "Hehe, you guys came from afar, I was going to give a surprise, but I didn't expect to be seen by you, but now it's a little fun." I've heard of the name of the inheritor of the Divine Beast for a long time, but I must see it today. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, what are your intentions to create trouble again and again." Song Xianzhang asked sharply.
"Don't say it so ugly, as the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, just think of it as communicating with each other."
"How did you know we'd pass through here?" Lu Wu asked.
Yes, they came to Shushan because of a sudden decision, and they never revealed the news to others, and this group of people is so aware of their actions is nothing more than two situations, either they have been sending people to follow them, or they are. Mo Yuan quietly glanced at the girl hiding behind Song Xianzhang with a flustered expression, either someone had reported the news, whether it was Meng Yimiao's doing, but she had no evidence and could only guess in her heart.
"You don't need to know about this, and there's no need for this, because none of you want to escape today." As he spoke, he put his hand on the stone on his chest and silently summoned in his mind, and then a monster with two wings on its back and nine heads appeared out of thin air.
Seeing this situation, Lu Wu exclaimed: "This is, Nine Infants!" ”

The monster of water and fire, can spray water and spit fire, and its cry is like a baby crying, so it is called nine infants. Yao Shi came out, harmed the world, and was shot by Yi in the fierce water of Beidi. Its theory was first seen in the Han Dynasty. The legendary Fire and Water Monster. It is also used as a metaphor for evil and ferocious people.
"Huainanzi Benjing Training" high temptation note: "Nine infants, the monster of water and fire, are harmful to people...... There is fierce water in the land of Beidi. ”
The "Dictionary of Chinese Myths and Legends" believes: "When it is a genus of nine-headed monsters and strange snakes, it can spray water and spit fire as a disaster." ”
"Ancient Chinese Myths and Legends" mentions that there is a big river in the north, the water is thousands of feet deep, the waves are turbulent, and it is called fierce water. There is a nine-headed monster in the fierce water, named Nine Infants, which can spray both water and fire. When the ten days came out, the fierce water was also boiling, and the nine babies thought that the water was too hot, so they jumped ashore, and ate when they saw people, and when they ate, there must be 9 kinds of food for it to eat at the same time, so it became Hou Yi's third killing target. 】
Before everyone's surprised expressions faded, another woman summoned a fierce beast in the same way.
It has a body several meters long, with a thick carapace on its back, and needle-like spikes on both sides, like a centipede that has expanded countless times, which is the fierce beast hooked snake.

[Guo Pu's note]: "There are hooked snakes in Yongchang County today, several zhang long, tails, and mountains and seas are hooked in the water to take the people, cattle and horses on the shore. ”
"Water Jing Note (Ruoshui)" contains: more than 20 meters in length, with a fork in the tail. When hunting, hook the shore animals with their tails in the water and eat them. 】
"Two more fierce beasts were born, and the people of the devilish are really a good means!" Song Xianzhang gritted his teeth and said, and the fierce spirits on the side also bared their teeth when they smelled the breath of the fierce beast, pacing around in place frantically.
Then Lu Wu and Mo Yuan also cast a spell to summon the Divine Beast, and the Enlightened Beast and the Divine Soul of the Heroic Move appeared one after another.
Neither side made the first move, and the huge sense of oppression generated by the confrontation made Meng Yi tremble and retreat and hide to the side, but Song Xianxian and the three of them frowned and had serious expressions.
