Volume 5: The First Song One Hundred and Ninety-Eight: The Journey to Guarding the Wok Mountain (14)
"What is a canopy?"
Tian Shuangyu asked curiously, just when the two of them were bored just now, she asked about the matter of guarding the Wok Mountain, and then Shangguan Hong told her that the fierce beast banned in the Wok Mountain was called Ping Peng.
"It's ......" Shangguan Hong didn't know what to say, so he broke off a wooden branch from the miscellaneous wood next to him, and then drew it on the ground.
I have to say that this Shangguan Hong is really not good at this, and the strange appearance of the things drawn on the ground with wooden branches makes Tian Shuangyu look even more confused.
"Ah," Shangguan Hong didn't care, and pointed with the wooden branch in his hand, "Pingpeng is probably like this, well, long body, four legs, its biggest feature is that there is a head at each end of the body, my master said that the appearance of that thing is like two pigs cut from the middle, and then two halves with pig heads are put together, you have always seen a fat pig, this thing is two almost identical pig heads, in addition to its tyrannical temperament, cruelty and killing, that is, the two heads always quarrel with each other, It doesn't look at each other well, it looks like the two heads are fighting for control of the body they share, it has four legs, each head can only control the two legs that are close to it, so not only do these two heads always want to bite each other when they get the chance, but they can't even walk smoothly......"
"And such monsters!" Tian Shuangyu, who heard this for the first time, couldn't help but say in surprise.
"It's a fierce beast, my master said that the forbidden screen here seems to be some heat away from the true spirit level, so it can be captured by those ancestors of the Five Spirit Sect at the beginning, if it reaches the true spirit level, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to catch it."
"That'...... How did it get banned? Tian Shuangyu asked again.
"Oh, that's it," Shangguan Hong thrust the wooden branch in her hand into the ground, which was inserted in the middle of the waist of the screen she painted, and then motioned to Tian Shuangyu to look at the glowing towering tree, "Do you see that big tree?" It was originally a rare evil tree in the world, it was transplanted from elsewhere by the ancestors of the Five Spirits Sect, just to ban this fierce beast, I heard that the evil tree was originally still leafy, and it was planted in the middle of the canopy after being transplanted by the ancestors of the Five Spirits Sect, and then it became like that, there was no bare leaf, and the whole body also emitted this strange white light, my master said that this evil tree is the most greedy for aura, and the ground glows white, but in the ground, Its original vast root system is completely interspersed in the flesh and blood of the screen canopy, which can not only continuously absorb the aura in the screen can't be absorbed, so that it can't accumulate strength to break free and escape, but also tightly shackles the screen canopy's body, as long as the screen is not honest, the roots of the evil wood will be tighter and tighter in its flesh and blood, thinking that it must be a pain that even the fierce beast can't bear. ”
Tian Shuangyu couldn't help but feel a little chill in her heart when she heard this, it was really unheard of to use such a method to ban the fierce beast, she looked up at the glowing tree, and said in surprise:
"That tree is so big, how big does that canopy body have to be?"
"Fierce beasts, they can't be compared with the demon beasts they see in the ordinary, whether they are fierce beasts or spirit beasts, they all have at least two forms, one is called the phantom body, also called the phantom body, the other is called the real body, the existence of the true spirit level, whether it is a fierce beast or a spirit beast, their phantom body can be any of their favorite appearance and size, but the real body is generally very large, and here to ban the screen canopy, it is natural to ban its real body, and the one under the big tree is the real body of the screen canopy."
Tian Shuangyu nodded slightly when she heard this, but there was one more thing she didn't understand very well, so she spoke again:
"That'...... According to what you just said, this evil tree here in Wok Mountain should be enough to ban this fierce beast, there is that layer of black mist on it, and there are a lot of formations and things you said, isn't it too much, anyway, the fierce beast can't escape, why bother so much? ”
Shangguan Hong smiled slightly when he heard this, and said:
"This evil wood can trap Pingpeng, but it can't trap the offspring born by Pingpeng."
"Heir?"
"Yes, heirs, fierce beasts will also give birth to offspring, this screen is said to give birth every five hundred years, the small screen that is born will not be shackled by this evil wood, if left alone, over time may also become a fierce beast that endangers the world, so other arrangements are for the small screen canopy. You see, there are demon beasts in this Wok Mountain, well, you may not understand it if you don't learn the art of controlling spirits, but in my opinion, almost all the demon beasts here have more or less Pingpeng's bloodline, and they can't be Pingpeng's descendants, and they can't have the strength to go under the tree and devour flesh and blood from Pingpeng's body, so there's only one way for them to get Pingpeng's bloodline...... That's the son of Ping Peng. Pingpeng is a fierce beast, and the demon beasts here can't compete with it, but the small Pingpeng it gave birth to is a delicious meal that has a great nourishment for the demon beasts here, and this Pingpeng doesn't know how many years it has been banned here, so that almost all the demon beasts here have directly or indirectly obtained its bloodline through its descendants, to tell the truth, if the demon beasts here are released, they will become a scourge in the area of the Five Spirits Sect, so the ancestors of the Five Spirits Sect have made so many arrangements, It is said that it is the means of using the study of spiritual veins and the study of formations, but I don't understand this. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the demon beasts dare not approach it at all; The black fog in the sky is also to prevent those flying demon birds from escaping. In short, this Shouwo Mountain has completely become a prison place for Pingpeng under the arrangement of those ancestors, so that it can't escape, so that its descendants can't escape, and it is precisely for this reason that this place has become a dangerous place in the Five Spirits Sect, and few people dare to come here. ”
"My God......" Tian Shuangyu exclaimed, "You ancestors have really thought of all the methods, such a way can be come up, the layout here is really completely broken here, and there will never be a day." ”
Listening to Tian Shuangyu's words, the corners of Shangguan Hong's mouth outlined a light smile, which made Tian Shuangyu couldn't help but think a little more in her heart after seeing it, but she didn't speak.
"I said when I came in, the idea of those people below was probably to wake up Pingpeng from the ground after seeing me, and use the power of Pingpeng's struggle to get rid of me, remember?" Shangguan Hong asked.
"Naturally, I remember."
"That's a powerful solution, but at first glance, it's not the one that the Spirit Monk came up with, and it's not the most powerful, well, my method is something they can't even think of......"
"What are you going to do?"
"Let's wait, as long as Qian Chao and those people come to the tree, I will wake up before those people wake up Pingpeng...... Means...... Let this canopy give birth to the offspring in its belly in advance! ”
"What ......!"
"I've checked the classics, it's been more than three hundred years since the last time this Pingpeng gave birth, and the little guy in its belly is almost time to take shape, the demon beasts here will fight each other when they meet, don't think that they are just to hunt blood and nourish themselves, the real reason is to take the bloodline of the fierce beasts on the other side, so they will be more bloodthirsty than the demon beasts outside, and as long as Xiao Pingpeng is born, even if it is prematurely born by me by means, it is a fatal temptation for all the demon beasts in the entire Shouwu Mountain,At that time, all the demon beasts will be crazy to compete for the beast cubs,Whether they can't compete or are worried that other demon beasts will grab it before themselves,They will inevitably start to fight each other fiercely,That will affect the entire Shouwo Mountain and cause chaos,There is no way to stop or resist,In that case,Do you think there are people here besides the two of us who can get out alive? ”
Shangguan Hong almost completely told his strategy, which made Tian Shuangyu in front of him stunned.
"You...... How can this still be done? ”
"Although that screen is a fierce beast, it has been imprisoned here, I just cast a spell on it, and I don't want to subdue it, I am a spiritual monk, these are nothing to me,."
Shangguan Hong said lightly, casually pulled up the wooden branch that was inserted in the ground, held it in his hand, and broke it with a "snap".
……
Almost at the same time, somewhere across the glowing tree from Shangguan Hong, Qian Chao and Tang Ping also gathered together to discuss something, and they still didn't know how many demon beasts were fighting together in the distance of their hiding place, and all kinds of earth-shattering roars and strange roars kept coming.
And the five people gathered around and stared at the ground, Tang Ping actually pinched a thin wooden branch in her hand like Shangguan Hong, and there was a pattern she drew with this wooden branch on the ground.
It's actually the fierce beast with two pig heads, the appearance of the screen, well, Tang Ping's painting is much stronger than Shangguan Hong's, at least the two fat heads and big ears are painted vividly.
"This is the screen." Tang Ping said.
"That's what it looks like, tsk, alas, although there is one more pig's head, there are also two hind legs missing, but unfortunately, I can't eat elbows......"
Lu Pingchuan, who has always been greedy and greedy, came out coldly, and even Li Jian beside him couldn't help it.
"Brother Lu......" Tang Ping said angrily.
"Hehe, Sister Tang, you go on."
"The big tree that can shine is the key thing that seals the screen, it is an evil tree, it is rooted in the body of the screen, and it continuously absorbs the aura from the body of the screen, and all its roots are like countless ropes, in the body of the screen, in its flesh and blood, it is tightly bound, so that the screenroom cannot escape at all......"
At this point, Lu Pingchuan interjected again:
"Eh, that hurts!"
"That's right, so since this canopy was banned here, it should have been in a kind of suspended sleep, otherwise it would not be possible to be so peaceful in this Wok Mountain. But...... If someone wakes it up, even if it can't escape the shackles of the evil tree, there will be a fierce struggle, and in that case, at least near the evil tree, there will inevitably be a disaster, ordinary people...... Even if my master is here, he can't resist and must escape, and if someone wants to harm us as the money boy said, then his chance is to wake up the canopy as soon as we get to the tree......"
With these words, the eyes of several companions were turned to the towering tree that glowed with white light.
"It's so far away that I can't even know if there's anyone there." Li Jian said.
"That's a fierce beast, Ah Ping, how can you wake it up?" Yan Xuan said.
"Well, that tree is big enough, it can completely take root on the body of that fierce beast, Tang Meizi, in this case, how big do those two pig-headed fat pigs have to be?" Lu Pingchuan said.
"There must be a formation near the big tree, we have come all the way, I have been looking for it, but the formation arranged by the ancestors of the five spirits back then was too exquisite, and there was no sign of formation on the mountains on all sides, so the formation to control this Wok Mountain must be near the big tree in my opinion." Qian Chao said.
Tang Ping continued to speak:
"Before coming out this time, I didn't ask my master about this Wok Mountain, so I don't know much about how to wake up the screen, but if you just wake up, it's not difficult to think about it, and there are ......."
Saying that, Tang Ping thrust the wooden branch in his hand into the back of the screen painted on the ground, and continued:
"Oh, now you can think of this branch as a big tree over there, Brother Lu, now you should know how big that screen canopy will be, right? Don't think about the elbow of the canopy, you can't eat it in your mouth! ”
"Hey, hey."
"Actually, what I said just now is not the worst situation, I said before, almost all the demon beasts here have the blood of Ping Peng, and these demon beasts are impossible to devour the flesh and blood of Ping Peng, then there is only one possibility for them to get the blood of Ping Peng, that is, to devour the descendants of Ping Peng, no matter how powerful the beasts are, their descendants must be extremely weak before they grow up after they are born, I heard that Ping Peng This kind of fierce beast gives birth to a son every five hundred years, I don't know how many years have passed, The demon beasts here already have the blood of fierce beasts just by virtue of the descendants who compete to devour Pingpeng once every five hundred years, no matter how powerful that Pingpeng is, it is imprisoned after all, and it can't escape at all, but ...... If anyone forces it to give birth now, look, although the fighting is fierce, I don't know how much worse it is than they compete for the heirs of the screen! ”
What Tang Ping said was the scene of the many demon beasts biting and fighting in the distance, and the five of them could see the figures of more than a dozen demon beasts flashing and biting each other, and there were demon birds hovering above looking for an opportunity to attack, roaring and roaring continuously, and the bloody breath had spread to their hiding place.
"Pingpeng birth is estimated to be a bloody feast of many demon beasts here, those who can compete for the heirs of Pingpeng, it is estimated that if they swallow it, they will be killed and swallowed by other demon beasts immediately, and then, the killing will spread, look at how bloodthirsty the demon beasts here are, a small trick of the money boy will let so many demon beasts fight for life and death there, but, in my opinion, they are not only for blood food, but for the blood of the fierce beast, the fierce beast is immeasurably powerful, The demon beasts here will only become stronger if they have accumulated more bloodlines of fierce beasts, and it will be possible...... Escaping from this Wok Mountain, just like the two-headed strange bird we saw in the black fog above this Shou Wok Mountain, unfortunately, it still failed. ”
Tang Ping's words made Qian Chao stare at the glowing tree silently.
"Uh...... Sister Tang, this ...... Is there still a way to make this screen give birth in advance? Lu Pingchuan asked.
"Why not, in the spirit arts, there is not only the knowledge of controlling spirit beasts to contribute to themselves, but also other methods similar to taming, tasting, and cultivating spirit beasts."
"Then would you be the one who made Ping Peng lay the cubs in advance?"
"I haven't raised a screen canopy, so I really don't know this."
Saying this, Lu Pingchuan became even more curious, and asked:
"Didn't you say that this screen is a fierce beast? Can you keep this thing from the Spirit Sect? ”
"Who told you that the beast can't be raised, well, don't say anything else, just say the nine girls around my master, it is actually the Gu Won Bird, and my master's name is also obtained because of raising it, but you know that if the nine girls are not tamed by my master, then she will become a creepy beast over the years...... Ghost car! ”
"Oh."
Qian Chao thought for a while and said:
"Tang Yatou said that there are two ways to use fierce beasts to harm people here, and the two methods still seem to be more powerful than the other, well, is it possible...... I'm just guessing...... But if it's really like what we thought before, if someone here is planning to harm people, will it still be a situation where praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind? ”
