Chapter 85 Pilgrimage Folk Liu Xianshou
When he woke up, the sun was three poles, and Bai Lan stretched his waist lazily, but he did not turn into a human.
After possessing a human dao body, demons can change between human and demon forms at will. However, due to the rarity of the Dao body, most of the big demons will cherish this Dao body that they have been cultivating for hundreds of years, plus the human body is more convenient after all, and they can better understand the Dao when cultivating, so the big demon often uses the human body and does not use the demon body much after getting used to it.
But Bai Lan is different.
He once took on the form of a human because of the majesty of Shinto, and he still needed to be dignified and restrain himself even before he appeared as a saint.
Now, the Incense Fire Shinto is separated from the Demon Dao, and he is just Bai Lan, a white snake demon.
Those endless people want to be obsessed, let the incense incarnate go to the headache, he just wants to be idle and free.
Underground, there are countless carnivorous ants shuttling and crawling through the dense passages.
These passages are centered on the Valley of the Snake King, stretching for thousands of miles in all directions, leading not only to the mountains and forests, but also to the worldly world below the mountains.
The queen ant in the underground cave has been invisibly accompanying Bai Lan for more than 480 years.
Ants have long and short lifespans, but the queen must have the longest lifespan in an ant colony. Even ordinary ant queens can easily live for twenty or thirty years, and even some long-lived ant queens can live for fifty or one hundred years.
The queen ant after the demon has a lifespan of thousands of years, and now she can only spend half of her life.
However, it is already difficult for insects to open their minds, and the Zerg and the Demons of Plants and Trees are the most difficult to enlighten their minds.
However, the Zerg still have some instinctive consciousness, and if they are nourished by the aura, they can be mutated, but because they don't have the spiritual intelligence, if they are encountered by the insect monks, they will become their spirit worms.
The queen's cultivation method is different from Bai Lan's, except for waking up when the colony is multiplying, and most of the rest of the time she falls into a deep sleep.
Relying on the body's instinct to swallow underground vitality while asleep has a big disadvantage of being slow.
Moreover, not everyone can afford to sleep and live like a dream for a long time.
But there are disadvantages, and there are naturally advantages. The advantage is that there are almost no bottlenecks in their cultivation, and even the number of calamities is very small.
Moreover, the queen ant is not as Bai Lan thought in his heart, will mate with many male ants and reproduce, some species of queen ants can only mate once in their lifetime, and retain the sperm of male ants for decades.
The queen ant has stopped reproducing since she became a demon, and there are many female ants and male ants under her, which are the main force of real reproduction.
Although ants are small, if you look at them from a human perspective, you will feel terrible, because they seem to have a division of labor with human society, like an alternative civilization.
Bai Lan has been given shared authority by the queen ant, and he can also give commands to the swarm through the low-frequency sound of the swarm.
The queen ant does not have the authority to share the snakes with Bai Lan, because she doesn't need it, and it can even be said that since she was born, she has never seen the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars, birds and beasts on the ground after the "wedding flight", and she has a unique way ......of survival for the Zerg!
Therefore, she doesn't need anything above the ground at all, and as for being able to coexist with the snakes under Bai Lan's rule, it is also for the reproduction of the race. After all, there's not enough underground to feed a huge colony, and workers and the like need to get out of their nests in search of food.
The abundance of predators outside is enough to cause ants to lose a lot of money every time they search for food.
In the Divine Domain, the incense incarnation Liu Xian kept dealing with the demands of the incense of all the people, not only the human incense, but also the snakes in the Qianli Mountain. Day and night, and in the future, cold or hot.
As for Bai Lan, he ended up with nothing to do and was relaxed.
He sorted out the Tianhu Cave not far away, and the Tianhu Cave was naturally covered by a radius of thousands of miles.
This ancient maple tree, which I don't know where Hu Qiniang migrated from, is still alive and tenaciously, and there are still many wild foxes living in the vines and shrubs under the tree.
Bai Lan stood in the small attic, opened the wooden window and looked at the scenery outside the house for a moment, when suddenly a "squeak" sound came and made him retract his gaze.
But I saw that it was a rare crimson spirit fox that climbed up to the small pavilion, squatting in front of the door with two legs, like a watchdog, pushing open the wooden door with one paw, and staring at it with curious eyes.
Bai Lan couldn't help laughing, and with a move in the air, he took the red fox in front of him, and this sudden change made it burst with frightened fox fur, fluttering its claws in the air and trying to escape.
"It seems that you have opened your spiritual wisdom, although there are many foxes in the mountains, but there are not many spiritual, it is still a red fox, so let's cultivate it."
As he spoke, a wisp of mana flowed out of his palm to dredge the meridians of the little fox's body, making it easier for him to become a demon.
Bai Lan raised his sleeves, and one by one the ancient books and classics fell and piled up in the small attic, and this place will be a book house in the future.
Walking out of the attic, he reached out and locked the door with a little wooden door mana.
Today, it's the fourth day of the first month of June, and there are two days left before the Longliu Temple Fair.
The Longliu temple fair of the Great Jin Dynasty is the pilgrimage day of the Tianlan Kingdom.
Counting up, Tianlan has been established for more than 30 years, and the thirteen prefectures and county government institutions in the territory have also been perfected. Although it was only a state before, but Youzhou is not small in area and there are thirteen prefectures, each of which contains several county seats, and the Tianlan calendar has been founded for 32 years, and the statistics of the people's household registration have reached one million.
A large part of them fled from the country of Vietnam to gather the million people. A place with a radius of thousands of miles will be comparable to the land of two provinces in later generations, even if the world's agriculture is not developed, it is not a problem to feed millions of people.
It can be seen from this that the Seven Gu Sect has harmed many people, as well as wars, plagues, and Gu cultivation, which have harmed the people in this land.
However, after more than 30 years of recuperation, it is finally populated, and it is not all deserted villages and ghost towns as far as the eye can see.
Luodu, the capital of the Tianlan country, the whole city is busy on this day, people prepare tomorrow's pilgrimage offerings, clean the house to remove dirt, put away some things that are taboo by the holy lord, and put three fresh eggs in front of the door, or insert wicker at the door, I heard that the holy lord has practiced on the thousand-year-old fairy willow, and if you insert a wicker on the door, you may enter the house, and the good luck is coming, and it is also welcoming the holy ancestor and the willow immortals into the house.
Not only the capital, but also the people of the entire Tianlan country. And the Holy Lord naturally refers to Bai Lan, and the Liu Immortals refer to other Daoist spirit snakes.
Snake, has become the mascot in the hearts of the people of Tianlan country, if there is a snake at the door one day, the family will happily welcome the snake into the door, even if they are reluctant to eat the eggs will be fed.
As for the fear of snakes, it has been 30 years since the founding of the Tianlan Kingdom, and under the indoctrination of faith for 30 years, no matter how afraid of snakes are, people can sleep with snakes.
It is precisely because of these complicated folk customs that the people will respect the gods in their hearts, and they will also be full of festive taste and atmosphere for a festival.
There is a lot of suffering in the world, and it is always good to have one more day of happiness.
