In the Valley of the Snake King, Bai Lan was lazily coiled among the willow branches, and the poisonous day at the end of summer was really terrible, and even he didn't dare to cultivate. Cultivating under such a clear and clear environment will only damage the muscles and bones when the demonic qi goes backwards.

Compared to the night, it is still suitable for demon cultivation, and Bai Lan also prefers to breathe in the full moon above the nine heavens and suck in the qi of too yin and less yin.

Raising his head, he could faintly see the sky above the valley, and under the scorching sun, a hazy and unreal white python was entrenched in this valley, standing in the sky to shock the beasts.

Maybe that's the legendary luck, right? Or is it the power of incense?

After becoming a demon, the perception of those humans who offered incense and prayers to him became clearer.

In the winter of last year, Bai Lan had left his venom outside Zhuangjia Village, and the smell of snakes and blood deterred some ghosts and ghosts, allowing this small village to spend a winter with peace of mind.

As a result, the people of several nearby villages and towns have invited Baojiaxian to invite the Liu family into the shrine to worship.

Unconsciously, Bai Lan became the wild god with the most incense in this radius of dozens of miles.

Listening to these boring human prayers in his spare time is also a kind of fun to pass the time.

As for answering the prayers of those human beings one by one, Bai Lan has no intention of doing so at the moment. Humanity is a race that will never be satisfied with its desires, and he naturally chooses the method that is beneficial to him.

These incense sticks around his body really made Bai Lan's cultivation progress much faster, and the wisps of incense condensed on the snake's head heavenly spirit under the control of his consciousness, turning into a full moon.

And through this round of the full moon, Bai Lan does have some divine means. He can use the full moon to enter the dream believers, and he can also build some special relationships between the full moon, the white snake statue, and the believers, and then he can achieve the manifestation of the white snake fairy in the hearts of humans.

For example, he once helped a poor widow in a village find her long-lost gold bracelet.

He also saved the life of the only son of a farmer who fell into the river.

also punished the village idlers who were disrespectful to themselves, and then the other party accidentally missed the road and fell into the dung pit and was almost choked to death, becoming the laughing stock of a village.

Life in the world, the days are long and light, quiet and quiet, sometimes there are noisy neighbors, shrews scold the street, men will meet widows in the wild, in such a village, chickens and dogs smell each other, yellow hair hangs down, and it is the greatest happiness to enjoy yourself.

Without any companions to communicate with, these humans became a familiar routine for Bai Lan.

Living far away in the mountains and wilderness, quietly watching the fireworks in the world, accompanied by immortals and vulgarities, one on the left, one on the right, all the way to bloom, not to this long and lonely road is cold.

……

In Jinjing, in the Dongcheng Qiangu Pavilion, an auction was held to the end, and the audience was full of princes and nobles from Jinjing, and powerful families from all over the country.

On the stage, a woman in purple who still had charm and said with a smile: "Distinguished guests, I believe everyone can't wait to see the three auction items in the finale of this pavilion. In previous years, the concubine would definitely not be verbose, but this year it will be verbose. Before that, you can see a thing, this thing is quite magical, and it has been detached from the mundane. ”

"Oh? Mrs. Xu should be cautious in what she said. You must know that this place is full of big people who have the world's treasures, and nothing may be able to enter our eyes. A middle-aged obese man groped around a young girl's waist, smiling at the woman on the stage.

Mrs. Xu covered her mouth and chuckled, "Since Ping Bohou said so, let you take a look." ”

After saying that, she retreated and walked backstage, and the lights and candles in the auction room were extinguished.

The crowd was in an uproar, clamoring for what was this for? There are even many princes who have already been engrossed in guarding their bodies, for fear that any enemy and political enemy will give them a cold hand.

"Bang~"

A soft sound came, and a row of girls dressed in plain yarn with white jade palace lamps appeared on the stage, illuminating the venue.

Everyone was puzzled, and wisps of hazy clouds and smoke floated down from the sky above the high platform, with the white jade palace lamp and the plain yarn girl, just like the Moon Palace.

At this moment, everyone saw a white snake as white as mutton fat jade, flying down in the sky, a full moon shining, the white snake like a dragon entrenched on the top of a mountain, such as swallowing the nine days of the moon, the light of the moon.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, and Mrs. Xu's voice came from the panic.

"Don't be surprised, this is a painting, called the White Snake Fairy under the Moon. It was made by Wu Xuanzi, a painter who once made a picture of the white crane flying in the sky, at the foot of the Ten Thousand Snake Mountain on the border of Qinan Prefecture. It is said that it has reached the realm of the legendary spirit of the Danqing painting school, and the painting is no longer a painting, like a real scene! ”

After hearing these words, everyone settled down and took a closer look, and found that it was a white snake, and there were indeed silk threads around the body that bound the edge of the drawing paper.

There are many people who are experts in painting, and they were obviously moved when they heard that they were fascinated by the painting, and asked, "How much is Mrs. Xu's painting worth?" ”

"Hehe~" Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "In order to make this painting, Mr. Wu Xuanzi turned white overnight and aged for more than ten years. And this is the first surviving masterpiece of the spirit of the Great Jin Dynasty. Those of you who know what that means. The concubine body will not say much, the reserve price is 50,000 taels of silver, and the price increase shall not be less than 100 taels each time. ”

As soon as this price came out, those participants who did not know how to do it and had little financial resources were amazed, a painting could be auctioned to a reserve price of 50,000 taels, which was really priceless, and some families could not afford this price.

But in a place like Jinjing, the most important thing is the rich!

The Great Jin Kingdom has been established for a hundred years, and since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne for 30 years, it has become increasingly prosperous, the country is rich and the people are strong, and these princes and nobles are naturally rich and rival the country.

Therefore, soon someone offered money to compete, and finally was obtained at a sky-high price of 100,000 taels, and the buyer of the painting was the sister-in-law of the first-class Gongming of the dynasty, and no one did not open his eyes to have some other thoughts.

And the Ten Thousand Snake Mountain in the Qinan Mountains is also famous all over the world with this supremely precious painting.

……

It's just that all this is not clear about the white land in the valley.

He still cultivates with peace of mind, swallows the essence of the moon night and night, exhales the aura of heaven and earth day and day, and blesses those simple villagers who believe in Baojiaxian in the village when he has nothing to do.

The full moon on the forehead, with the blessing of the incense accumulated day and night, gradually derives into the Shinto Divine Seal, which gathers incense to assist in cultivation and manifests into dreams, which is very useful.

Cultivating in the mountains, the years are difficult to distinguish, and before you know it, Bai Lan has been practicing for 20 years and has learned the first demon art, which is called Demon Wind.

As long as you use the demonic power to condense it between your mouth and belly and blow it hard, it will be a violent wind in an instant, and the black clouds will cover the moon, and the yin wind can hurt people and damage the soul.

This kind of yin damage demon art is not a good monster at first glance, but it is indeed the first demon art that Bai Lan comprehended.

He understood the reason after going down the mountain to visit and dream of the villagers, because the snake fairy and snake demon are far stronger than the fox fairy and mouse fairy, and most of them are immortal families who take the lead in subduing demons and protecting the family.

Bai Lan estimated that although he had only cultivated for 20 years now, with the blessing of incense and the assistance of Swallowing Yuehua, his demonic power was comparable to that of practicing for 50 years, and his combat power was even better than that of the Centennial Rat Immortal and the Fox Immortal.

Over the past 20 years, Ten Thousand Snakes Mountain has really lived up to its name, covering a radius of more than 200 miles and is a breeding place for snakes, of which there are no less than tens of thousands of snakes.

However, among them, only the Green Snake King personally selected by Bai Lan was the one who opened his mind and enlightened his mind, and after opening his mind, he pulled the aura of heaven and earth into his body and turned into a demon, and now he is cultivating in the valley with Bai Lan.

The rest of the snakes are just doing nothing from birth to death, multiplying, but they can be regarded as enjoying a life of peace.

Although the green snake has turned into a demon, the speed at which it can pull the aura of heaven and earth is far less than that of Bai Lan, and the green snake is tired and lazy all day long, if there is no Bai Lan to supervise it, it will not be able to cultivate for even an hour a day.

For this reason, the green snake was beaten many times by Bai Lan, and finally repented and guaranteed to cultivate for an hour a day. Don't underestimate this hour, but not all demons practice diligently, most of the demons are like green snakes, and only when they want to cultivate will they absorb some heaven and earth aura or moonlight, and they are either greedy or sleepy on weekdays.

After all, these are the beasts that demons have accompanied their lives.

Although the green snake has the cold-blooded nature of a snake and the laziness of a snake, it has only one advantage, that is, it is close to Bai Lan. Even when Bai Lan was at the end of his life, he never had a little second heart.

You must know that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and one valley cannot tolerate two kings is not just a common saying, but the survival rule of countless beasts.

But the green snake can always tolerate him, and he is extremely loyal to him, even if Bai Lan urges the cultivation so hard that he injures it, the green snake will never have the slightest resistance.

The only thing that makes Bai Lan helpless is that the green snake has the same habits as all snakes and likes coiled snakes.

In the summer evening, when the summer rain and wind suddenly come, there will be two green and white snakes entangled and playing in the water in this valley, the nearly ten meters long green and white two snakes are like small dragons, stirring the waterhole fish are frightened, the shrimp and crabs are frightened, and they look strange and charming under the thunderbolt.

Fortunately, the green snake is a male snake, so it won't make Bai Lan can't help but estrus and mate and reproduce.

Nowadays, the average female snake can no longer afford to reproduce and mate with Bai Lan, and the snake demon and the snake have a gap between species.

Bai Lan also treats the increasingly intimate Green Snake as his younger brother, and he is lonely and cold in this mountain, so he will not be alone and unaccompanied.

Although Xiaoqing opened the spiritual wisdom for the demon, his wisdom is obviously very low, probably only the wisdom of a human seven or eight-year-old child, who can barely understand words, know how to abide by the rules, and have the perseverance to persevere.

Bai Lan didn't teach it anything, spiritual wisdom is not taught, and wisdom can increase with the time of cultivation.

Throughout the year, spring and winter go to sleep, summer and autumn come out, day and night practice, year after year.

However, the quiet days will not last long.

When spring came this year, the green and white snakes woke up from their holes and ended their one-year hibernation.

Xiaoqing was still reluctant to wrap around Bai Lan's body, and the lazy snake nature made it still not want to get out of the hole.

Bai Lan crawled out of the snake cave with deep demonic power, spit out the snake letter and sensed the breath of the outside world, but unexpectedly, his snake letter sensed many uninvited guests.

……

On the west side of the Snake King Valley, a group of sergeants wearing armor and silk, holding spears and swords or carrying longbows, each of them is powerful, and there is a degree of advance and retreat between the marches, and the law is strict, this is obviously an elite division.

In front of the army, there was a commander in the army and a long-bearded Confucian student walking side by side, and thousands of people opened a road on both sides, cutting grass and breaking trees to clear a road that was barely a mountain road.

The military general was quite respectful to Confucius, opened the map in his hand and looked at it, "Military Division, ten miles further is the boundary of the Ten Thousand Snake Mountain." It is surrounded by mountains, and only the Snake King Valley is passable, and the road is considered flat. But according to the captured Dajin villagers, there is a snake demon in the Snake King Valley, and there are countless snakes in the mountains, how do we choose? ”

Hearing this, Confucian raised his head and looked at the sky above the mountains, and was silent for a moment before he said: "That snake demon is just a little demon who has just become a little demon in recent years, and it is not enough evidence. Now that the snakes have not yet been stung, we are fast soldiers, and these thousand elite soldiers are bound to kill in front of the city of Qinanfu, so as to attract troops for our Dayue three-way elite soldiers.

The whole army accelerated, arrived at the Snake King Valley before dark and set up camp, and by the way, the snake demon was cut and stewed in snake soup for the soldiers to warm up. ”

On the top of the mountain, Bai Lan entrenched his body raised his head and spread his sense of sight and heat and smell, and found more than a thousand people.

Today's Bai Lan is not a black eye, and he has gotten a lot of news from the villagers who have fallen into his dreams, such as the fact that this stretching Qinan Mountain Range is not the only country in the Great Jin Dynasty, there is a country named Dayue on the west side of the Ten Thousand Snake Mountain, which is the Yue country that was once taken away by the Great Jin Dynasty.

More than 1,000 people quietly entered the mountain, afraid that they were not well-intentioned. And looking at their itinerary, it seems that they are going straight to the Valley of the Snake King. This is also no way, surrounded by mountains within a radius of 100 miles, only the Snake King Valley can be used to march, as for the first line of the sky is too narrow, it will be opened with gunpowder.

As for the snakes in the valley, I am afraid that they can be used for game.

The full moon on Bai Lan's forehead rotated, exuding a mysterious ghostly light.

……

In the village of Zhuangjia, a lazy man named Da Zhuang, who is idle on weekdays, is lying at home and sleeping in winter and does not go to spring ploughing, he is sleeping beautifully, and suddenly saw a big white snake in a dream, like a small dragon, the scales are white like the first snow, and the tall and majestic snake head looks at himself with indifferent vertical pupils.

Da Zhuang's body trembled and almost didn't pee, he knelt down with a plop, and bowed in fear: "Snake Immortal spare your life!" The size of a snake spares your life! The small ones are not big things, at most, they hook up with widows on weekdays, steal chickens and dogs, and really haven't done anything big and evil. ”

The white snake said indifferently: "There is an errand today that can wash away your past sins, are you willing to go?" ”

Da Zhuang hurriedly said: "The little one is willing!" The little ones are willing! ”

The white snake spoke again: "Outside the West of Ten Thousand Snake Mountain, the army of the Yue Kingdom is pressing the border, you quickly report to the land god and ask him to report to the city god." ”

Da Zhuang woke up after hearing this, and he opened his eyes in a daze and recalled the scene in his dream, which was so realistic as if it were real.

He shivered and hurriedly got out of bed, put on broken shoes, and ran all the way to the Land Temple, knelt down in front of the small temple where there was only a zhang Xu Gao, lit three incense sticks, and shouted: "Lord of the Land! Lord of the Land! Oh no. The Liu Xian family told me that someone from the Yue country had called, and they came from the west of the mountain, and asked the old man to report it to the old man of the city god quickly! ”

Ben was so frightened that he almost rolled off his chair when he heard this, Yue Guo, that is a Confucian country that destroys the gods, once it really hits here, then it will definitely demolish his land temple,. SCSVC's life is hard to save.

The land god hurriedly waved his little hand and cut off the incense and sent it into the Chenghuang Mansion. He is slightly different from the small land of other villages, because he was a blood descendant of the City God during his lifetime, so he has a special honor to face the City God.

There are people behind it, even if it is on the incense fire god path, it will work.
