Chapter 119: The New Year's Pass
[On the fifth day, you were practicing in the valley, and suddenly you noticed that there were humans fighting demons nearby, which made you pay attention.
You soar through the clouds, reach the sky, look down, and soon you've found the place where the battle is taking place.
I saw that several demons were frantically attacking a human team, and you were not in a hurry, but observed this human team, and you found that this human team seemed to be rushing to somewhere, carrying some food on its shoulders, driving the horses, and seemed to be walking into the mountains.
The several demons that pursued this human team were unable to cause any substantial damage to the human team for a while.
You were a little curious when you saw this, so you patiently observed. 】
[On the sixth day, you discovered that the reason why this human team was able to survive the attack of several demons was because of a human elder.
The old human man was holding a big knife in his hand, and the big knife was wrapped with layers of blood-colored gas, which seemed to have killed a lot of people, and it was this big knife that shocked those demons......]
How many demons were shocked by a big sword?
It should be that the cultivation of those demons is too low.
However, such a big knife can indeed deter ordinary demons.
Ji Zheng was thoughtful.
Among many folk customs, there is a legend that a knife can drive away evil spirits and suppress demons, among which the most widely spread is the 'pig killing knife'.
It is said that in ancient times, there was a butcher, to kill pigs as a livelihood, its pig killing skills are exquisite, its craft is famous for ten miles and eight towns, from time to time there are villagers to invite the butcher to kill the livestock, day after day, piled up, the butcher kills countless lives.
On a certain day, the butcher's wife fell ill, the butcher sought medical treatment to no avail, Lang Zhong could not find the cause of the butcher's wife, and then a gentleman pointed out that the wife's illness was caused by evil, all because the butcher killed too much on weekdays, and the evil took revenge, but because the butcher often had a pig-killing knife pinned to his waist, the evil did not dare to approach, so he killed the butcher's wife.
When the butcher heard this, he was immediately shocked and asked what the gentleman should do, so he asked the butcher to go back to his house and hang the pig-killing knife in his house, and the butcher did so, and the next day his wife was really better.
The saying that the pig-killing knife can ward off evil spirits and drive away demons has been spread.
According to Ji Zheng's knowledge, not only the pig-killing knife can ward off evil and drive away demons, but some knives that kill a lot can basically avoid evil and drive away demons, such as some fish-killing knives in the hands of killing fish for a living, and the guillotine knives of executioners in ancient times.
Of course, these swords can only suppress some ghosts and demons with low cultivation.
If there are some cultivators, they are basically given for nothing.
For example, in this simulation, the old man is holding a killing knife, and if he encounters something like an old turtle or a crab demon, it will not work at all.
"Although there are many supernatural things in human beings, most of them are used to deal with those demons who are not highly cultivated, and it is a little difficult to deal with alien beasts, not to mention the gods and men in the heavenly realm."
Ji Zheng was thinking.
When he used to be a dragon, these supernatural things were really good for him.
But now that he is a myth, these supernatural things are useless.
"However, human beings have lost a lot of supernatural things, and maybe there are really supernatural things that deal with strange beasts."
Ji Zheng continued to look at the simulation.
……
[On the seventh day, you watched the old human man gradually lose his hold, and you immediately took action, revealing his body in the clouds and mist, and you drove the thunder and lightning to kill those demons in an instant.
The humans immediately bowed down to you, but you didn't bother to pay attention, flew up into the clouds, and disappeared. 】
[On the eighth day, this human team stayed in place for a long time, and after worshipping you, they continued on their way. 】
[On the ninth day, the human team reached its destination, the destination was on a high mountain, and you observed in the clouds for a long time, and you finally understood.
It turned out that the human side was unable to shelter all humans, and some of them were afraid of being killed by the demons, so they moved to some steep places to live, hoping to avoid the demons.
But to live in these places, these humans need to walk through cliffs and cliffs on a regular basis to go to human cities and bring food and everyday goods back to their places of residence.
When you learned about it, you didn't do anything, you know very well that the situation of human domination has changed, that heaven and earth cannot all belong to human beings, and that this will inevitably happen when human habitation is compressed. 】
[On the tenth day, you practice near this high mountain, and at the same time, you pay attention to the humans living nearby, and if you encounter danger, you will also intervene to save them. 】
……
[On the twelfth day, you practiced in the mountains......]
……
[On the fourteenth day, the Kunlun Mountain Pass recovered, but you didn't care about it, you didn't care at all, you continued to practice in the high mountains, and from time to time you took out to protect the nearby humans. 】
On the fifteenth day, your fame spread far and wide among the human race, and soon attracted the attention of the human side, and many humans appeared in the vicinity of your activity in search of you. 】
……
[On the seventeenth day, a human found you, of course, this is because you deliberately showed your figure, otherwise with the ability of human beings, it is impossible to find you.
After finding you, humans did not visit you immediately, but chose to leave after a simple worship to you, which makes you wonder. 】
[On the eighteenth day, a large number of human beings came towards the high mountain where you were, and when you were at the bottom of the mountain, the human beings made a large-scale worship to you, and you silently turned the dragon's head and looked at the bottom of the mountain.
In the midst of your gaze, an old human man stands in front of the incense burner, respectfully offering incense to you, and then holds in his hand two crescent-shaped objects, which protrude on the surface but are flat on the inside, and together they look like a crescent moon.
I saw the old man holding this pair of things with both hands, kneeling in front of the incense burner, when the old man knelt down, you were touched in your heart, and there was a vague feeling that the old man had a question to ask you, and the two things in his hand were the things that communicated with you......]
What kind of thing is this, it can really communicate with him.
Ji Zheng was lying in the palace, and the dragon's head couldn't help but be raised, he was very curious.
Look at this image......
Seems somewhat familiar.
Ji Zheng thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of a possibility.
This thing......
Is it a 'basket'?
Legend has it that in ancient times, the cup was a tool that could communicate with the gods, and the cup was originally made of clam shells, but later changed to wood or bamboo chips.
The shape of the cup resembles a crescent moon, but it is divided into two parts, the protruding surface on the surface and the flat surface on the inside, which is the same as in the simulation.
The function of the cup is to allow people to communicate and ask the gods when they need the gods to answer questions.
When people need an answer from the gods, they can kneel in front of the gods, hold the cup in their hands, and then inform the gods of the question in their hearts, and then throw it upwards, and when they land, the shapes are different, and they represent different meanings.
If there are two cups, one side protruding and the other side flat, it is called a 'holy grail', which means that the gods agree and it is possible.
If the two cups are both raised, they are called 'laughing cups', which means that the matter is not clearly described, or that the person who threw the cup has already made up his mind, so why bother asking, or if the gods have not made up their minds, they can ask for instructions again.
If the two cups are flat on one side, then they are called 'weeping cups', which means that the gods do not agree and are not feasible.
According to Ji Zheng's knowledge, this 'Xiao Cup' was gradually lost a long time ago, and now it should be in the southern coastal area, and it still exists.
"I didn't expect that I could still encounter such a 'basket' in the simulation, this human being, one moment is the head of the official general, and the other time is the Ying song and dance, is this the old nest in the south moved out."
Ji Zheng was slightly surprised.
Most of the human beings he encountered were brought from the south.
He shook the faucet, didn't think much more, and continued to look at the simulation.
……
[Under your gaze, the old man knelt in front of the incense burner, and at the same time you felt a kind of inquiry, it was the old man who was asking, if they could come into the mountain to visit you, and you naturally agreed.
After you agreed, the old man also threw out the cup in his hand, and the result was that one side was protruding and the other side was flat, which is the meaning of agreement.
When the old man saw this, he was overjoyed, but he seemed to be uneasy, and threw the basket several times again, and the result was the same.
The old man was immediately relieved and led the team into the mountain, but it seemed that out of respect for you, there were only a few people in this human team, and most of them were waiting at the bottom of the mountain. 】
[On the nineteenth day, the team brought by this human old man approached the top of the mountain, but you didn't want this human team to see you so easily.
You know that letting them see them at will make humans feel that dragons are just like that, and that your prestige is undermined.
In the face of the raging storm, this human team did not give in, but continued to face the raging storm and move forward.
You see that you have not embarrassed the human beings, and you have driven thunder and lightning, and the whole mountain has been thunderclapped from time to time, and it seems that once you reach the top of the mountain, you will be struck by lightning.
The human team hesitated for a moment, then continued on their way. 】
[On the twentieth day, this human team climbed the mountain, and after the humans climbed the mountain, the storm and the mountain thunder and lightning suddenly disappeared.
When these humans saw you on the top of the mountain, they were shocked to see you, and they bowed down to you, worshipped you as a god, and then recited a lot of words.
It sounds to you that these humans are thanking the humans you are sheltering in the vicinity, and all but that is a compliment.
You open your mouth and let out a cry, and your cry reaches the ears of these humans, so that these humans can easily understand what you mean, and you say that this is just a casual matter, and if the humans are okay, they can leave.
Several humans looked at each other, and finally said that they were willing to honor you, and asked if you could shelter them.
You were silent for a moment, and instead of agreeing, you let the humans leave if nothing else was going on.
These humans didn't dare to say more, they all went down the mountain, you watched these humans go down the mountain, you know that what is easy to get, humans will never know its preciousness. 】
……
[On the twenty-first day, the news that you live in the high mountains seems to have been spread, and from time to time there are human beings worshipping you at the foot of the mountain, but you just look at it in your eyes, and you don't make any movements, and at the same time, on this day, the Jianmu Divine Tree is revived, and you just look up, and then you don't look at it anymore. 】
……
[On the twenty-fourth day, the old man holding the basket came again and paid a tribute to you, saying that he had reached the end of the year, and hoped that you could shelter him a little more, so that the people nearby could have a good year.
The old man threw the cup again, you hesitated, but still chose to agree, the cup fell to the ground, naturally it is the Holy Grail, meaning your consent.
The old man was relieved to hear that you agreed, bowed three times, and then left the mountain. 】
[On the twenty-fifth day, you were entrenched on the top of the mountain, and you suddenly felt a strange feeling, and you turned your head to see that in the high mountain where you were, there was a 'night', and you knew that it was because of the arrival of the human year.
There are a lot of people like this, and attacking humans together is bound to cause a lot of trouble, and you know it's time for you to take a look around.
You don't have a lake, when you fly into the sky and patrol the neighborhood, during the inspection, you see a lot of nights, you use dragon power, and all of them are shocked to death.
Then you see a lot of demons nearby, but you don't know if these demons have the intention of attacking humans, so you don't attack. 】
[On the twenty-sixth day, you returned to the high mountain, entrenched yourself, and continued your spiritual ......]
……
[On the twenty-eighth day, you are entrenched in the mountains, looking at the lights of thousands of human cities in the distance, and from time to time there is the sound of crackling firecrackers, you know that this is the year of mankind.
You can't help but feel a little emotional, but you haven't been feeling for long, you find that a large number of demons are gathering, attacking the nearby human cities, even if you are angry, you have left a dragon power nearby, and the demons dare to attack so unscrupulously, which has already angered you.
You let out a bull's roar, calling for wind and rain, driving thunder and lightning, and under your control, thunder and lightning crackled towards those demons.
Those demons that attacked the human city were all existences with low cultivation, and they were directly turned into ashes by your thunder and lightning.
Even if there are remnants of demons, they will be swept away by your call for wind and rain.
With little effort, you were able to quell the massive demon attacks this time.
Your actions have enabled mankind to survive a stable year. 】
[On the twenty-ninth day, the old man of mankind holding a cup of rice came again to worship you, and the old man of mankind came to thank you, saying that on behalf of all human beings in the Central Plains, thank you.
After thanking him for a while, the old man picked up the cup again, and you can't help but wonder what the old man wants to ask about the top of the mountain.
Under your attention, the old man said the problem in his heart......]
