Chapter 40: Raising mountains and waters, and getting shelter

Bai Lan was silent in the Ten Thousand Snake Mountain, day after day, year after year of penance.

After devouring the corpses of the three demon beasts, Qingcang molted again, and grew to a length of four zhang, which was only half a zhang shorter than Bai Lan.

Moreover, the green snake also refined the horizontal bones in its mouth, and quickly learned to speak under Bai Lan's training.

Bai Lan taught the Tu Na method to Qing Cang without reservation, even if it was just a very superficial demon cultivation method, but Hu Qi Niang never said that she would teach a similar method, maybe she didn't have it, but it was more likely that she didn't want to teach it.

It can be seen that the demon cultivation method is extremely cherished even if it is superficial. Bai Lan can be regarded as owing a great favor to the God of the City God.

On this day, the sun rises in the east, and the green and white snakes in the valley each coil their bodies and recite the Tao Te Ching.

Whether it works or not, it's already a habit.

And the Tao Te Ching does have some effect on cultivating the mind, not to mention that some earth-shattering powers are realized from it, but it is rare to be able to clear the mind and calm the mind.

Most of the demons are wild and unfading, once the beast nature is stimulated, there is no wisdom to speak, and the angry monster beast is too easy for the enemy to find flaws.

Bai Lan finished his homework much earlier than Qing Cang, and he raised his head to meet the rising sun and inadvertently glanced at the green snake.

After a moment's distraction, he poked his head forward to observe, but saw two bulges growing on the back of the green snake's head.

The reason why I say that there seems to be nothing is because it is so inconspicuous that I can't really be sure whether it is a bulge or a dazzle.

Bai Lan thought of the impossible legend in his heart.

Snake demonizes the dragon!

Qingcang noticed something, opened his eyes and asked puzzledly, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

The childish tone of his milky voice showed his mind, probably the wisdom of a ten-year-old child, but it was much better than it used to be. At least I can memorize at least two scriptures, the Tao Te Ching and the Great Nirvana Sutra.

"It's okay, you continue to recite the morning class." Bai Lan climbed to the side, groping his tail on his head in anticipation of two bumps popping up.

Even unwillingly, he ran to the waterhole to take a selfie with the shadow, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't find any bumps on the top of his head.

Transform into a dragon! Bai Lan also wants to turn into a dragon, the legendary dragon, can be big and small, can be raised and hidden, the big is Xingyun and spit fog, and the small is hidden and hidden; The rising is soaring between the universe, and the hidden is lurking in the waves.

It's a pity that he really doesn't seem to have the slightest bit of dragon blood, so he can't turn into a dragon.

Perhaps, the first time I saw a human being, I was called a snake, not a dragon, and I lost the first time I was righted!

Bai Lan's mood recovered after a little wave, snakes are not ordinary species, seven or eight of the ten gods in myths and legends can get a little bit involved with snakes.

He recognizes the snake clan, and does not deny himself because of his desire to turn into a dragon.

The sun is gradually rising, and the summer heat is enveloping the mountains and forests.

Instead, Bai Lan slowly climbed out to patrol the mountain.

Along the way, the snakes retreated, and the beasts were frightened, even the wild leopards and the flat-headed brother did not dare to show a trace in front of Bai Lan.

Speaking of leopards, Bai Lan remembered the wild leopard in the Snake King Valley that he had once scarred on his face, and it seemed that he had also become a sperm.

It lives on the edge of the Ten Thousand Snakes Mountain, and from time to time sneaks into the mountain to catch one or two snakes to eat.

Bai Lan saw that he had asked for a certain amount of money, so he spared his life.

There can't be only one species in this mountain forest, Bailan has always been maintaining the ecological balance, and the aura of Ten Thousand Snake Mountain has been strong for more than 100 years.

He also became more and more familiar with the plants and trees of Ten Thousand Snake Mountain, especially the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in every place in the Snake King Valley, and the direction of the Yin and Yang Five Elements in each place could not be clearer.

In the vicinity of the cave, Bai Lan's combat power has a great blessing. This is also one of the reasons why many demons will flee to the cave when they encounter danger.

Bai Lan circled around the seven peaks of the Snake King Valley for four days and six months, and he didn't bother to explore the surrounding mountain roads, and there were still many human beings who needed to rely on the mountains for a living, as long as he went to walk around, the demon's breath would not disperse for ten days and half a month, and the poor people who lived on the mountains would have nothing to eat.

The Snake King Valley was divided into the inner mountain and the outer mountain by Bai Lan with its own breath, and the inner mountain was divided into the inside and outside of the Snake King Valley.

Mortals from the outer mountains can enter, or chop firewood for hunting, or go into the mountains to collect medicine, dig wild vegetables, pick fruits, catch fish and shrimp, as long as the mountains are not dry, the villages below the mountains will not decline.

The villagers who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains have a high respect for the mountains, just like the herdsmen's belief in immortality on the prairie.

The inner mountain is the place where the snakes breed, and it is also the place where the white people breed spiritual things, and there are 13 snake nests, which no mortal can enter.

If the spirit grass in the snake's nest is seen by greedy humans, once they get out alive, there is a good chance that more humans will be sent to death. Therefore, entering the inner mountain may be punished, and if you are close to the snake's nest, you will never be able to walk out of this mountain again.

The old man Jiang back then was the best example.

The mountains nurture all living beings, and all things only know how to take but do not know how to protect the mountains and forests.

Until the appearance of Bai Lan, the green mountains and clear waters were maintained, and the fierce reputation of Ten Thousand Snake Mountain shocked the greedy outsiders, and the belief of Liu Xian guided the villagers under the mountain to be kind to the mountain and coexist with nature.

In the past hundred years, human beings have never set fire to the mountains, nor have they opened up wasteland, and the pace of human trace expansion to the south has been blocked by Bai Lan.

In the beautiful place of Zhong Lingyu, there is the birth of the spirit of nature.

For one hundred and forty or fifty years, Bai Lan has protected the mountains and protected the water, and maintained the reproduction of all creatures in this mountain, even if countless snakes were attracted by his breath to form a snake nest here, it did not affect the ecological balance.

On the contrary, through various means to protect the mountains and forests and cultivate spiritual opportunities, it has been a benefit.

On the top of his head, I don't know when a trace of Xuanhuang merit appeared in the years.

After Bai Lan patrolled the mountains, he was already a little tired. So he went back to the Valley of the Serpent King to sleep.

The moon shadow shines on the ancient willow pond at the beginning, and the mountain is high and the moon is clear and the frogs are singing quietly.

In the drowsy sleep, Bai Lan found that the body was light and fluttering, and looked down to see that it was flying above the sky, looking down on the mountains, the lush mountains and forests, the waterfalls flying under the moon, the large and small rivers and lakes in the mountains were gurgling with living water, the green mountains were far away, the water was smoky, and the lonely mountains and wilderness were naturally in the heart.

Bai Lan volleyed in the sky, like a white dragon circling the sky, he opened his mouth to breathe for the wind, spit out for the clouds, the wind and clouds converged on the mountains and forests like light veil and light smoke transit, the moonlight was hazy, and the silver light was inclined for thousands of miles.

Bai Lan suddenly found that he could close his eyes! Snakes have no eyelids, which means they can never be closed.

But now, he closed his eyes.

Hundreds of miles of mountains and forests, birds and insects, frogs jumping and snakes swimming, foxes and rabbits running, the wind blows the leaves fall, and the grass and trees are all in his heart.

Bai Lan closed his eyes, and subconsciously opened his mouth and called: "Wind~"

There is a strong wind that rises suddenly, not evil but heavenly, and the wind sweeps the mountains and forests and scatters the clouds.

"Cloud~"

The gale rose from all directions, summoning the clouds in all directions, and the sea of clouds stretched without limits.

"Thunder~"

In the depths of the clouds, lightning pierced the sky, thunder roared, and all evils retreated.

"Rain~"

Thunder and lightning flashed, the wind was like rage, and there was a downpour of rain that moistened the mountains, forests, grass and trees.

The sound of the drizzling rain came into Bai Lan's ears, and he suddenly raised his head, he was still in the cave and had just woken up.

"It turned out to be just a dream?"

Bai Lan shook his head helplessly, thinking about it day and dreaming at night. It seems to be really good, isn't calling for wind and rain in dreams the ability of dragons?

Under the night moon, Bai Lan shook his head and cleared his head, crawled out of the cave and continued to spit out the moonlight.

……

In the east of the Great Jin Dynasty, it is separated from the Fengdu Kingdom, one of the three major countries in Linnanzhou, only separated by a foggy mountain, which stretches for two hundred miles as a buffer on the border between the two countries.

As its name suggests, the foggy mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, so they are rich in tea. The cloud tea here sells well in several states in Dajin and Fengdu. There is also a rather supernatural Taoist temple in the mountain, called Cloud and Mist Temple.

There are only three or five Taoist children in the view, and there is only one true Taoist priest, who has been given talismans and Taoist seals, and the Taoist name calls himself Yunyin Zhenren. The villagers of Fengdu Country in the village under the mountain all call him Master Yunyin and Yunyin Immortal, and they respect him abnormally.

The reason why this is so is because this Yunyin Zhenren has saved mortals who are critically ill and dying, and has also caught ghosts and exorcised evil spirits at night, and all kinds of miraculous things have happened to him.

This year, there was not a single rain in March under the mountain, the water of the rivers and lakes dried up, ten wells and nine dried up, and the crops withered due to drought and lack of water.

The people were struggling to make a living, and the beasts fled into the mountains.

Yunyin Zhenren was prayed by all the people to come out of the mountain to ask for rain, and begged for God's mercy.

Yunyin real people built an altar to worship at the mouth of the Taohe River in Huangjia Village, and ascended the altar for six or nine days.

At this time, thousands of people gathered under the altar, and even the prefect of a prefecture came to watch the law and ask for rain in person.

In the scorching summer, the people crowded together, and the entourage beside the prefect endured the heat to shake a fan for the adults to ward off the heat.

His staff sighed: "I only hope that this Yunyin real person can really invite the rain to make the people less suffering." ”

The prefect said angrily: "You must invite me to bring the rain, otherwise the head of this official will not be saved." Since I took over as the prefect for three years, the taxes have been getting lower and lower year by year, and the magistrate has already taken me for the crime, and there will be no revenue this year after another month of drought, what should I use to pay taxes to the imperial court?

This official thinks that he loves the people like a son, and he works hard for the people day and night, so will God punish me like this? Mr. Zhao, do you think this official should resign? ”

Mr. Zhao, a staff member, hurriedly comforted: "My lord, your words and deeds fall in the eyes of God, maybe this drought is God's test for you." Don't worry, I heard that this Yunyin Zhenren is a master in the Daomen, and even taught the talisman three times, and awarded the "Shangqing Three Caves and Five Thunder Sutras", its Taoism is unfathomable, since it is at the request of all the people, he will do his best. ”

When the prefect heard this, he was a little relieved, "That's good." Our Fengdu Shangguo has always revered the Daomen, and over the years, some Gu masters from outside the frontier have run out of nowhere, and they have bewitched the people all day long. When it comes to the critical moment, it has to be a master of the Daomen to go out of the mountain to calm the field. ”

"Hey, look, Yun Yin's real person is on stage!"

"Is this Yunyin Zhenren? Doesn't it look like a god? It's better to cheat me out of a tael of silver. ”

"You stranger shut up, how can Master Yunyin's name be compared with the Jianghu Warlock?"

There was a commotion among the people below.

Yunyin Zhenren was dressed in a light gray Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, stepping on Tiangang, looking at the position in front of him, followed by two Taoist children in their teens holding token flags.

After he ascended the altar, he made a mockery to the people in all directions, and then went to the sky with a dust, and the people only felt that suddenly there was a cool breeze and an exclamation below.

Yunyin Zhenren walked on the legal platform to confess the case, and its picture is based on Su, and the black fish is painted on the left side of the ring, and the ten stars of the sky turtle are drawn; The middle is a white dragon, and the clouds are black; Under the book water waves, there are turtles looking left, spitting black like a line, and gold and silver Zhu Dan decorated with dragon shape. Yunyin Zhenren picked up three sticks of incense, put them together with both hands and inserted the incense sandalwood, and the cigarette smoke rose without fire spontaneous combustion.

He bowed to the sky and the ground, raised his left hand in the dust, and whispered softly: "

Taiyuan Hao Shi thunder fire essence, yin and yang to guard the thunder city.

Guan Bo ascended to the abyss court in a hot manner, and the wind and electricity evoked ghosts.

Floating in the Taihua life of the public guests, God has a hurry to go.

The rain in the sun is instantaneous, driving the dragon to power out of Xuanhong.

I am in a hurry with the curse today, this is the name of the emperor of heaven, and those who dare to refuse are not lightly guilty. Haste as a law. ”

After reading it for the first time, the Daotong on the left handed over the soap flag, and Yun Yin Zhenren took it, and shouted loudly in the air: "The wind is coming!" ”

The soap flag was thrown out and stood upright in front of the altar, and the soap flag began to swing.

A strong wind blew in the sky, and the sky was getting dark.

Yun Yin Zhenren repeated the rain prayer mantra, took the token handed over by the Taoist boy, threw it to the back of the Dharma platform and stood upright, and shouted at the same time: "Cloud gathering! ”

I saw that there were clouds surging in all directions above the sky, and the sky gradually darkened, and the cloud curtain turned into dark clouds.

Yun Yin Zhenren recited the rain mantra again, picked up the small copper bell on the bill, and shook it, "Thunder!" ”

"Ding Bell~"

"Boom~"

When the bell rang, there was a thunder through the clouds, and the people were amazed and delighted, and they all cheered in the gale.

Yun Yin Zhenren looked at the sky, shook the bell again, raised his cloud sleeves with both hands, and said in a long voice: "The rain is coming~"

"Boom~"

"Woo~"

"Bang la la~"

Thunder and lightning flashed, and the wind and rain came!

The people looked up to the sky in the wind and rain, receiving the moisture of the rain, and each family took out pots and pots to accept the rain.

Just as all the people were rejoicing, a terrible beast roar shook the sky, the rain was overwhelming, the wind suddenly stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and the heavy rain stopped.

The smiles on the faces of the people froze, and they looked into the distance in horror one by one.

The prefect couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Yunyin Zhenren, what's wrong?" ”

Yun Yinzhen's face was solemn, he pinched his fingers and looked at the northeast with his eyes, and said in a loud voice: "Folks, go back home quickly and close the doors and windows, there are demons and evil spirits!" ”

When the people heard this, they scattered as birds and beasts, and they couldn't even ask for rain.

However, in just one cup of tea, there are only three people left on the Dharma platform here.

The Dao Tong behind Yun Yin Zhenren asked, "Master, is there really a demon?" Then the rain you've worked so hard for is wasted. ”

He sighed and said, "I, Yunyin Zhenren, have practiced in the Foggy Mountains for three hundred years, and I have achieved nearly half of it, but I am sad to survive this catastrophe. Disciple, you go back to the mountain quickly, and you can't take a step out of the gate within three days! ”

Dao Tong was already fourteen or fifteen years old, and he knew a lot, so he reluctantly said, "Master, I have already entered the Qi Refining Method, and I may be able to help you!" ”

Yun Yin Zhenren laughed and said, "Your Qi refining kung fu can't even be cleaned up by a tiger and leopard chai wolf." Staying here will only cause me trouble. ”

After that, he stretched out his hand and pointed at another Taoist boy who was standing still, played a trick, and shouted: "Where is the Yellow Turban Lux?" ”

"Obey the laws of the real people!" The stiff Dao boy answered.

"Quickly take the clouds and stars back to look back, and you can't come out within three days!"

"Yes! Reality! ”

As soon as the words fell, the yellow turban wrestler wearing Taoist clothes picked up Yunxing horizontally and left like a fly.

……

In June of that year, there were fierce beasts and droughts crossing the border, and the Zhongxuanmen Immortal Hongguan Zhenren Yunyin Zhenren tried to prevent the fierce beasts from making trouble, and did not hesitate to spend the Great Dao Runes to severely damage the drought.

The drought fish passed through the Yunwu Mountains and went straight into the Great Jin Yunzhou to lurk and recuperate from his injuries.
