Chapter 31: When the first month of cultivation is determined
In the Ten Thousand Snake Mountain, the years are quiet, and the green and white snakes are cultivating the avenue.
Bai Lan only gets up every day when the sun is three poles, basks in the sun, catches some prey, and then takes a nap on the willow tree, or sleeps directly on the boulder.
It's not that Bai Lan doesn't cultivate diligently, but it's that when the sun is cultivating, it is very likely that he will go mad and fall into the devil, and if he inhales the fiery sun essence, he will die a miserable death.
The sun, the light of all life, is righteous, and all evils retreat. From the souls of the dead to the thousand-year-old demons, they will have fear or disgust with the sun that rises high above.
However, the green snake is better than him, and he can practice normally in a place where the sun is sheltered during the day. It's just that the green snake is too lazy, after cultivating during the day, he definitely doesn't practice at night, and even under Bai Lan's supervision, he can only concentrate on cultivating for two hours every day.
There's no way around it, demon cultivation is so lazy. The green snake sleeps when it is full, eats when it wakes up, and occasionally runs out of the Snake King Valley when it is bored, and patrols the territory, which can be regarded as patrolling the mountains.
The current scope of Ten Thousand Snake Mountain, and the nearby two hundred miles of mountains are regarded as the boundary of Ten Thousand Snake Mountain, which can be said to be extremely wide.
Among them, the specific number of snakes is not clear, even Bai Lan. However, when mating in spring, you can see that there are thousands of miles of snakes near the mountains and streams, and countless snakes are entangled and mating.
That scene makes the scalp numb and frightened, occasionally there are hunters who go into the mountains to hunt and see this scene and are frightened to fly out of the sky, coupled with the snake fairy legend and belief are getting wider and wider, Ten Thousand Snake Mountain has also become a forbidden place for snake fairies in the mouths of people outside the mountain.
However, the Ten Thousand Snake Mountain stretches for two hundred miles, is inaccessible, and has accumulated over the years, and there are countless precious medicinal materials, attracting people who are willing to take the risk to go into the mountains to find medicine.
There are even many snake catchers who come here and make a living by catching snakes near the mountains. After all, most of the snakes are treasures.
Bai Lan did not stop these human beings, each with their own way of survival. Snake catchers live on snakes, but if they are not careful, they will die from the jaws of poisonous snakes and pythons.
In the Ten Thousand Snake Mountain, there are too many snakes, which has caused an imbalance in the environment and ecology, since these humans want to catch snakes, they can catch it, and the number of snakes will flood when the time comes, resulting in no food to eat and can only kill each other.
After a long time, there is another village gathered outside the Ten Thousand Snake Mountain, the name is the snake catching village, and it makes a living by catching snakes. And they also worship the willow immortals, because the willow immortals will give them dreams about when they can and when they can't catch snakes, and where they can go and where they can't.
If you violate the taboo of Liu Xian, you won't be able to get out of the mountain.
And on the west side of Qunshan, the new dynasty established by the Yue Kingdom, but the one who sat on the dragon chair was a bandit who started, where did he know those ways to govern the country and serve the people? Ten years later, it was destroyed, and the people of the five states of Yue fell into misery again.
More and more people fled to the Great Jin Dynasty, and the officials and people of the Great Jin Dynasty received them very warmly, and even treated them with extreme kindness.
One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, coupled with the Jin State intentionally spread, the people of the Yue Kingdom all envied the peace and prosperity of the Great Jin Dynasty, so the boundary monument of the Great Jin Dynasty was moved year after year, and in 20 years, it occupied the Yin Prefecture and Mingzhou of the Yue Kingdom, and occupied the land of the two states for thousands of miles without spending a single soldier.
Even, the people of the two states regarded themselves as the people of the Great Jin Dynasty and had no reactionary heart.
Because the Great Jin Dynasty divided troops and sent grain, pacified the people, provided disaster relief, cultivated and cultivated, exempted from tax and forced labor for five years, killed thieves and thieves, suppressed demons and demons, and regarded the people of Yue as the master of salvation.
Since then, the Great Jin Dynasty has sat on the land of ten states, and even among the medium-sized countries, it is a country with a vast territory. There are only three big countries in the entire Linnan continent, and the Great Jin has the momentum to become the fourth big country.
And these changes in the world did not have much impact on Bai Lan, but the Jin Kingdom was strong, and the more likely it was that he would really be crowned the god of Qi Nan Mountain at that time.
You must know that the Qinan Mountain Range is not less than tens of thousands of miles, and such a vast mountain land is naturally impossible to be the mountain god of the entire mountain range, but it is a mountain god of hundreds of miles, I am afraid that it is not something that ordinary dynasties can afford to be lucky. At the very least, the newly established dynasty of the Yue Kingdom could not afford to be crowned.
This year, the snow turned into water in winter, and the sound of thunder woke up Bai Lan.
This year, Bai Lan is ninety years old, and he has been cultivating demons for eighty years, and he has been cultivating the demon power in his body for one hundred and sixty or seventy years.
However, over the years, the skin has not been molted once, and it was still molted once when the demon was first transformed.
According to his estimates, he may not shed his skin until he is 100 years old.
The next molt is estimated to be ten years away.
Snake molting is the most dangerous time, and snake demon molting is also the most dangerous time.
Fortunately, there is a green snake protector beside Bai Lan, so you can be careful when the time comes.
Bai Lan crawled out of the hibernation cave, even if he became a demon, some habits were still difficult to change. Although he can use his demonic power to resist the cold winter, he is still weak and drowsy, which is not as good as hibernation.
The full moon flickered overhead, which was a change in the faith of the world.
After Bai Lan felt it, he sighed in his heart, his benefactor had passed away.
The boy who gave him medicine in the rain lived to be 93 years old.
With the help of Bai Lan, the three grandsons of Lu Baosheng's family all went to school, but because Yinzhou was already the land of the Great Jin, the highest achievement of his three grandsons was only Xiucai.
However, for Lu Baosheng, it is already a glorious ancestor. His great-grandson lived up to the high expectations of the family and obtained a county order, and the Xiahe Lu clan also branched out and embarked on the road of the world.
Who would have thought that a son of a family would have such perseverance to get rid of slavery, and struggled all the way from a poor peasant family to become the great-ancestor of a county magistrate, and that Lu county magistrate also built an ancestral hall for his ancestral hometown of Xiahe Village, and placed his great-ancestor in the first generation.
Because, it is from Lu Baosheng's generation that getting rid of slavery can be regarded as the starting point of clan inheritance.
Lu Baosheng, the great-grandfather of the Lu family, lived for 93 years, went through the three dynasties of the Yue Kingdom, made a fortune, educated his children and grandchildren, and finally became a poor family. His clan worships Liu Xian as the most, and the children of the family are not allowed to eat snake meat, and they are not allowed to change the belief of the clan.
Bai Lan also felt that his kindness had been repaid, he had personally looked for the precious herbs in the mountains to renew Lu Baosheng's life, and had also secretly sheltered the Lu family through several robber disasters.
Since then, this human kindness has been buried in the historical years along with the burial of the great ancestor of the Lu family.
For the mortals who pray to him, Bai Lan has always only responded to the wishes of some people, and only shelters believers within the scope of his ability, such as the former Zhuangjia Village, after nearly a hundred years of inheritance, the four surnames of Zhao Wang Zhang and Li in the village all have children who have entered the court as officials, and they are already the four famous families in Qinan Prefecture.
The village has long disappeared from the poverty of the year, only the big families with fine clothes and food, and the courtyards with high gates, where you can meet an old lady on the road, it may be the mother of the county lord and the lord Bo.
As for the reason, it is because decades ago, the Great Jin Dynasty newly acquired the land of Erzhou, which required hundreds of officials to establish official rule, and the customs and customs of the neighboring Qinan Prefecture were the closest, so most of the scholars in the Qinan Mansion were selected to serve as talents.
In the village, there is a compound that is the most prominent, that is, the hometown of Lord Zhang of Mingzhou today.
This Master Zhang will not remember that four generations ago, there was a farmer named Zhang Erniu who died in the swamp of Ten Thousand Snake Mountain in order to let his children read and write.
Bai Lan watched the generations change in the world, from birth to death, from poverty to wealth, from people to officials, from rise to decline, the rise of the family, and its own decline. The statues of mortals in the world are all sharpening their hearts and minds, and they have forged him a firm Taoist heart.
It was the beginning of spring again, and Bai Lan also started his cultivation career again.
He would only start cultivating after the sun had set, and he would not stop cultivating until sunrise in the east of the sky. At the end of the day, you can also cultivate for five or six hours, which is considered to be very heartfelt among demons.
Since his cultivation, the amount of food he eats has dropped a lot. The Valley of the Snake King is the inner valley of the Ten Thousand Snake Mountain, and there are only two snakes in the valley, that is, the green and white snakes.
There are many beasts raised here for the two snakes to fill their stomachs.
Bai Lan and Xiao Qing's demonic aura would never spread to the other side of the valley, let alone disturb the beasts.
The beasts in the valley enjoy a peaceful and peaceful life, and there are no bigger predators, and they live well and peacefully. At the cost of the occasional missing companion in a herd of goats, or a doe missing in a herd. Foxes, rabbits, bobcats, wild boars, and other beasts.
In short, no one will remember these vanished beasts. It's just that the ant colony next to the willow tree is piled up with a lot of scattered broken bones.
On this night, Bai Lan raised his head, the stars in the sky twinkled, the bright moon was in the sky, the sky was cloudless, and the silver glow was obliquely shrouded in the mountains.
There is a vision from heaven!
Among the many stars, there are 28 constellations, which delineate the four constellations.
Bai Lan saw the Canglong constellation, to be precise, it was not the seven stars, but the seven constellations criss-crossed, Kang, Di, Fang, Heart, Tail, Kei "The stars of the Seven Nakshatras outlined a star map in the shape of a green dragon on the sky.
On the ninth day of the first month, don't use the hidden dragon. Ninety-two, see the dragon in the field. Ninety-three, dry all day long, violent, no blame. Ninety-four, or leaping into the abyss. Ninety-five, the flying dragon is in the sky. On the ninth, Kang Long has regrets. With nine, the dragons have no head.
The seven nights are divided into dragons, and the stars are shining.
The green snake, which was originally asleep, crawled out of the snake cave in a daze and began to cultivate.
Bai Lan glanced at Xiaoqing suspiciously, but he didn't bother the other party, the light of the Canglong Seven Nights shone on the green snake and emitted a faint blue light, revealing extraordinary.
When the star vision occurred, Bai Lan was still doing the things of the past, swallowing the essence of the moon.
Taiyin and Shaoyin two qi entered the stomach, and Zhou Tian ran the two qi of water and wood, and the gas turned into force and condensed into wisps of demonic power and fell into the belly of the snake.
Bai Lan raised his head, looking at the full moon of the nine days as white as jade, the moonlight fell into the pupils, swallowing the moon for eighty years, today is finally gained, eighty years of looking at the moon to see a glimmer of time, too yin falling, less yin rising, too little two air currents poured into the pupils from the body, Bai Lan felt that his eyes were bloodshot and suddenly painful.
At this moment, the faded red jade beads in his body separated a trace of blood and rushed upwards into his eyes.
The intense pain eased, and two drops of blood dripped from the snake's pupils onto the boulder, and Bai Lan's eyes felt extremely bright.
He raised his head and looked at the willow that was gently swayed by the spring night wind, and the white light of the vertical snake pupils flashed, but he saw that the willows of the thousand-year-old willows fluttering in the wind were still one after another, not moving at a strange angle, as if they had been pressed the pause button.
Bai Lan was overjoyed in his heart, he comprehended the third demon technique by chance, this technique has a very vulgar name, but it is extremely practical, called the body fixing technique!
As long as the two qi of Taiyin and Shaoyin in the body are divided into the left eye and the right eye, a flash of white light can fix the person or thing whose pupils are locked.
However, Bai Lan's eyes were also injured, and the snake could not blink because it had no eyelids. Eye injuries are extremely difficult to recuperate, and Bai Lan estimates that he will only be able to recover when he is 100 years old and has a new eyelid when he molts.
Beside him, the green snake swallowed the faint starlight, wisps of blue light appeared on the emerald green body, and even Bai Lan could feel that the vitality in Xiao Qing's body was gradually becoming stronger, and there may be some unknown changes taking place in his body.
Bai Lan has been guarding the side of the green snake to protect it.
Until the eastern horizon revealed the white of the fish's belly, the green snake did not wake up.
Bai Lan was a little worried, the first wisp of purple qi emitted by the first birth of this great day was pure yang purple qi, and spitting out this qi was a necessary lesson for human cultivators, and it was quite beneficial.
But for the demons, this wisp of purple qi is even a great disaster.
Xiao Qing still didn't stop cultivating, until the first rays of the first sun in the east shone into the valley, Xiao Qing suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed a wisp of pure yang purple qi.
Bai Lan was startled, and was relieved until he saw that the other party did not feel any discomfort.
Xiao Qing swallowed the pure yang purple qi, and the essence and spirit were all improved a little, and he appeared more spiritual.
Bai Lan asked him how he felt, and Xiaoqing would only express "very comfortable".
asked him how comfortable he was and how comfortable it was, Xiaoqing didn't know it, so he couldn't describe it, and he couldn't explain it.
Bai Lan didn't ask any more, as long as it was okay, maybe it was Xiaoqing's chance. Canglong's vision of the Seven Nights, maybe in the future, Xiaoqing will comprehend some great magical powers.
As for the dragon, Bai Lan didn't feel much hope. He himself doesn't have the abnormality of turning into a dragon, and the two worlds together are also a hundred-year-old demon, whether the bloodline can turn into a dragon Bai Lan can still sense it clearly, that is, there is no way!
What kind of existence are dragons? The legendary divine beast, with the length of scale armor, can turn into a dragon in his muddy ditch, so is the dragon still a rare divine beast?
Snakes and dragons must be gathered at the right time, in the right place, and in order to succeed through many disasters.
Bai Lan felt that it was better to be a demon first, become a thousand-year-old snake demon, and transform into a Dao body, which was the most important thing.
As for the transformation, although Bai Lan had no one to guide him, he knew in his heart that the demon transformation must be a level of demon cultivation, and there would be a lot of disasters.
However, these things have to wait for Bai Lan to refine the horizontal bone in his mouth, and then ask the fox spirit.
According to Bai Lan's perception of the body, it takes at least two hundred years of skill to refine the horizontal bones and speak human words.
His cultivation path is still very long, but he has just taken the first few steps.
……
On the second day of the vision of Canglong Qisu, the Wujiang River, the largest river in Jinzhou in the northeast of Yunzhou, suddenly encountered a once-in-a-century rainstorm, the river bank burst the embankment, and the monstrous flood poured into the downstream Yunzhou, flooding the land of the three prefectures, and countless displaced people, Qinan Prefecture also suffered, the fertile land was flooded thousands of hectares, and the people from Yunzhou brought the plague.
For a time, the people of Qinan Prefecture fled the disaster one after another to avoid the flood and plague. And the vast Qinan Mountains have poured into many displaced people.
