Chapter 58: The Giant Snakehead
Daoran's worries still came true, and in just three days, the number of poisonous snakes that could be caught on Feilai Peak was greatly reduced.
On the first day there were a hundred, on the second day only half were left, and on the third day there were less than twenty.
A large number of people went up the mountain to catch snakes in a large area, and the poisonous snakes with relatively low IQs were dug up, and the rest either hid farther away or hid deeper.
Seeing such a low efficiency, Dao Ran did not let everyone continue to waste time, but ordered them to go back to the Lingyin Temple to rest first. Dao Ran quickly descended the Feilai Peak, returned to the palace, and shook Ramani from the wine jar.
Now there is no choice but to consult Ramano, a knowledgeable senior who can't beat a dog.
Ramanu, who had just woken up from a hangover, showed a very unhappy expression, but when he saw the copper bowl that Dao Ran kept throwing in his hand, he said decisively: "Master Dao Ran has a place to use Ramani again?" What an honor it is. ”
Dao Ran put away the copper bowl and asked, "I want to catch snakes, is there a way to catch a large number of poisonous snakes in a short time?" ”
Ramana rubbed a pair of small paws and said flatteringly, "How simple, Dao Ran Mage, you just let the powerful ghost of the Three-Eyed Clan take action and create an illusion to lure the poisonous snake out." ”
"Illusion?"
Dao Ran put the copper bowl on the table and knocked it lightly, and Ma San's soul body floated out of it.
I haven't seen him for a while, and Dao Ran was shocked to find that Ma San has become younger, and now he is a teenager, except for the huge eyes on his forehead that are still eye-catching, he actually feels a little delicate.
"Master Mashi, are you alright?" Daoran asked with concern.
Ma San respectfully kowtowed to Dao Ran and said happily: "Master, it feels good to be small, it has never been so good." Over the past few days, I feel that my strength has increased, and I can smell a little bit. I can smell some of the wine. ”
Ramano glanced at Ma San, nodded and said: "The soul body is condensed, it is indeed about to be cultivated into a ghost body, although it is still far from the ghost king, but it won't take long for you to recover your sense of smell and taste, but you can't stand the direct sunlight." ”
Dao Ran was also happy for Ma San, he didn't expect the cultivation method of the Three-Eyed Clan to be so effective, he had been so busy recently that he didn't have time to recite scriptures to him, and he could even quickly improve his cultivation, which was indeed extraordinary.
"It's just that Master Ma Shi is getting younger and younger, if he continues to cultivate like this, won't he become a baby?" Daoran asked worriedly.
"Master Mercy." Ramani patted himself and explained, "Ghosts are impermanent, born from the heart, and this appearance is only related to his heart." The reason why he is getting younger and younger is because his mind is originally a child. But I think it's about the same as being eight or nine years old, and he's not a fool, he won't become a baby. ”
Daoran listened to it and felt a little pity for Ma Sansheng.
Ma San was dozens of years old when he died, and his mind was the same as that of an eight- or nine-year-old child, and those people in the theater troupe were probably really raised as if he were a rare beast, and no one had ever educated him as a person.
No wonder he said that being a ghost is better than being a man, at least after being a ghost, he is free. Meeting is fate, Dao Ran felt that he couldn't always lock Ma San in the copper bowl, maybe he could talk to him more, don't really use it as a tool to call.
But this is a matter for the future, and this time I still have to let Ma San be a tool man first.
"Master Mashi, the little monk has something to ask for......" Dao Ran carefully said Ramano's suggestion.
"The little ones are just afraid that they won't do a good job and miss the big thing." Ma San said with a little cringe.
Ramani climbed up to Ma San's shoulder and said to him, "It's very simple, ordinary poisonous snakes are stupid, and they can be lured out with a little bait. You are a three-eyed clan, and you have been cultivating the evil eye for a while, and this illusion is easy for you. ”
"Really?" Ma San asked unconfidently.
"Of course, I won't lie to you, when you become a ghost king in the future, remember to invite me to a drink of the Difu's Forgotten Sorrow Brew." Ramano said.
Ma San responded resignedly, not daring to have any objections.
Dao Ran couldn't stand it anymore, isn't this bullying an honest person, so he hurriedly interrupted and said: "Since illusion can trick poisonous snakes out of the hole, can you directly create illusions and deceive the officials who collect snake taxes?" ”
Ramaniu shook his head and said, "It's not that simple, the intelligence of the beast is very low, it is very easy to deceive, the human race is naturally intelligent, it is not easy to deceive." Unless, he can learn how to blind his eyes. ”
"Tricks? Isn't this a big road spell? Daoran asked.
In my last life, I read a novel about cultivating immortals, but any passer-by can come up with a trick to deceive mortals.
"What kind of big road goods, the blind eye method is the root of all the magic of change, even the immortals are few who can be proficient, and I don't even know the method of cultivation, how can it be a big road goods spell?" Ramano said.
Dao Ran glanced at Ramano, this thing blew the blind eye into the sky, but he himself would not, as hateful as the authors who only begged for votes and did not renew in their previous lives.
But now there is no other way, Dao Ran can only let Ramano teach Ma San the skills of basic illusion.
These illusions are all performed by Ma San's evil eye, and they can't be learned.
After studying for a long time, Ramano said that it was almost done, and then went back into the vat.
Although this little snake god can't even beat a dog, he is still quite reliable in doing things, he said that he has learned it, and most of them have no problems.
Without further ado, Dao Ran hurriedly reconvened the monks and went up to Feilai Peak again.
When everyone gathered, Dao Ran found a shade to summon Ma San out.
As soon as these three-eyed ghosts appeared, the monks of Lingyin Temple were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and some screamed loudly, and some even fell to the ground with weak legs.
It's a ghost in broad daylight, and ordinary people can't stand it, let alone a three-eyed ghost.
"Shut up and wait quietly." Daoran said loudly.
The voice was like a flood of bells, suppressing everyone's panic.
At this time, Dao Ran said to Ma San: "Master Ma, you can use it." ”
With Daoran by his side, Ma San did not panic and began to perform illusions according to Ramani's instructions. I saw that the huge eyes on his forehead were filled with a lot of black mist, which drifted away with the wind as soon as it appeared.
Dao Ran could vaguely sense that these mists contained cold mana, and there seemed to be some vague phantoms.
However, Ma San's illusion covering method seemed to be extremely large, and the black mist drifted out a hundred feet away, covering almost every inch of land. A large number of rats appeared and began to scurry around.
It's just that these rats are basically outlines, and you can see the illusory distortion at a glance, no wonder Ramaniu said that he can't deceive people, and these shadows can fool some beasts without intelligence.
This trick worked well, and many poisonous snakes were attracted by the "food" delivered to the door, and began to crawl out of their hiding places slowly.
The warrior monks of Lingyin Temple are all deaf and clear-sighted, as long as there is a little movement, they will immediately find out, so it is much easier to catch snakes.
The monks got busy again, and in a short time a dozen poisonous snakes were caught.
The snake catching work has become smooth again, and Dao Ran is quite satisfied.
But at this time, Shenxiu came out from the side again and said to Daoran: "Master, is this Ma San donor a ghost?" ”
Shenxiu was still a mortal before, but after stepping into the path of cultivation, it was the first time he saw a ghost with his own eyes.
"I'll tell you, if you confess Master again, I'll whip you directly!" Daoran warned.
Shenxiu smiled and said disapprerovingly, "I heard that it is a great merit to transcend the resentful soul, why don't you overtake this Ma Shi Master, Master?" ”
Daoran rolled up his sleeves and was about to let Shenxiu know what it means to do what it means to do what he says, when he suddenly smiled and said to Shenxiu: "Since you have a heart, you might as well try." If you can overdo him, I may consider taking you as a disciple. ”
"Really?" Shenxiu said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Amitabha, monks don't speak," Dao Ran said.
【Your Noodles +1】
Daoran: 눈_눈
This Shenxiu monk is really an iron waste, and he can't brush out any useful attributes.
Shenxiu is full of confidence, isn't it just a super-resentful spirit, it's not enough to recite the mantra once, recite it a hundred times. As long as you can apprentice, you can do it a thousand times or ten thousand times.
Just when Shenxiu and Daoran both felt that they had won, the sky suddenly darkened.
Daoran looked up at the sky curiously, only to see a huge snake head as large as a small mountain, looking at him condescendingly.
