Chapter Twenty-Four: The Human Form, the Human Heart, and the Human Mind

The blood lion's thick voice echoed in the space constructed of Kunpeng's thick logs, "There are still twenty Demon Cultivators and seven Yuanying Elders in the clan, but there are no people who turn into gods. Four of the seven elders were absent from this place all the year round, and two were in retreat, so there was only one person who was involved in the affairs of the patriarch Zhang Luo clan. And the one we want to borrow is the Yuanying Elder, you can call him the Wild Lion. The patriarch is a lion demon in the late Yuan Infant period, called Wei Huang. ”

Xue Li asked again: "Why is it that only the patriarch of your clan has a name? Even the elders only use aliases. ”

The blood lion smiled: "This little brother is a good question, the ancestral system of the Fox clan is like this, the name of the patriarch is derived according to the genealogy, as for the way other lions naturally have names among themselves, it is just a lion's word rather than a human language." And the title of blood lion and mad lion is only declared when it is in foreign exchanges, and it has little significance. ”

Chen Yunsheng calculated in his heart, fortunately, he did not act recklessly, even if the Fierce Clan was not good in the mouth of the Blood Lion, its strength was far higher than that of the Heavenly Dome Sect at this time, even if the Heavenly Dome Sect was bound to the Flame Hall of Black Bone, it was not enough to deal with these lion demons.

The Blood Lion continued: "Due to the tight pressure of the Jinsha Kingdom over the years, the vigilance in the clan is very strict, and there are usually three shape-shifting lion demons with more than ten half-shape-shaped lion demons at the same time to block any road in and out of the gathering place. ”

"What is the combat power of these transformed lion demons?" Le Xiang asked.

The Blood Lion smiled proudly and said, "Compared with the same level cultivators of the human race, when they are one-on-one, they will definitely kill them, when they are one-on-two, they are seventy percent sure that they will be killed, and when they are one-on-three, they are still fifty percent sure that they can win." ”

"What realm is the semi-transformed demon cultivator in the demon clan equivalent to?" Han Feng asked, most of his questions had nothing to do with the things that everyone was planning, but the blood lion was not annoying to answer all questions.

"Under normal circumstances, the lion clan can only transform after the golden pill, and the lion demon who turns on his spiritual wisdom before transforming but does not dissolve the horizontal bones is called a semi-transformation. This kind of lion demon already has a certain amount of intelligence, the only thing it lacks is the ability to speak, and the body shape still maintains a certain beastly form. If you have to make a connection with the realm of the Terran monks, then it can be said that they can be regarded as the foundation monks. However, compared to the half-transformed lion demon, the gap between the half-transformed lion demon is far less than the difference between the two realms of Zhuji and Jindan among the human monks. The Blood Lion spoke tirelessly.

"The demon cultivators of the demon race are much more powerful than the human Jindan monks, and according to what you say, the half-transformed monks will not be much worse than the human Jindan monks. Fang Minglan, who had been listening silently, opened her mouth and asked.

The Blood Lion nodded and said, "That's right, but the Jindan Cultivator varies from person to person, so of course it can't be generalized. And the lion demon is naturally the same. ”

"Since demon cultivators have so many unique conditions, why do they have to go to great lengths to vaporize into human form?" Han Feng asked another question that had nothing to do with this discussion with everyone's cold gaze.

The Blood Lion was fond of the little monk in front of him, who had been in the Dao for less than thirty years, but was curious about everything, and immediately said loudly: "There must be a division between primary and secondary in a realm, and the lord in this realm is the human race. Throughout the Zhou Tian Ten Thousand Realms, I have never heard of the Lord of any Realm who is not in human form, even if he was not originally in human form, he has become like this after gaining insight into the Heavenly Dao. In other words, there is really a god in the universe, and we are carved out by him according to his own appearance, so no matter how strange the cockroaches, birds, and beasts are when they are born, after they attain the Tao, they slowly change their human form, have people's hearts, cling to human thoughts, and finally become real people. ”

The Blood Lion's words made Chen Yunsheng's heart move slightly, the five big and three rough demon cultivators in front of him could actually say such thought-provoking words, I am afraid that many human race cultivators could not understand it thoroughly. He said thoughtfully: "Although the human race is born in human form, has a human heart, and is obsessed with human thoughts, but the day after tomorrow fell into a colorful dye vat, and it is unknown what color it was dyed in the end, many people are just wearing a human skin, and the filth and filth in their hearts are more fierce than beasts, while many demons have a human heart, affectionate and righteous, and this world is really treacherous. ”

Hearing Chen Yunsheng's words, Bai Murong's eyebrows trembled slightly, as if he had something to say, but he couldn't say anything, his eyes became a lot more discrete, and he sat next to Chen Yunsheng in a daze, as if the people around him were close for a while, distant for a while, sometimes he could understand his own mind, and sometimes he pretended to be deaf and dumb.

The blood lion laughed, lifted the wine jar on the table, tilted his neck and poured it down, wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and said: "This little thing of mine is taught by the patriarch on weekdays, he has lived a long time and has a wide range of knowledge. But the brother has been in the Tao for less than 50 years, and he can have such a vision, which is really terrifying, and he will inevitably roar in the sky in the future, not a layman. ”

Chen Yunsheng said solemnly: "Falsely praised, let's go back to the preface, just now I talked about the defense of the gathering place of the Fox Clan." I wonder if you can go into more detail, if you can make a sketch. ”

"Off topic, off topic, the person who diverted the topic just now will punish himself with three cups. The blood lion shouted as he picked up the brush and white paper handed over by Fang Minglan.

The tip of the pen contains ink, gently scratched on the white paper, and under a few strokes, the prototype of a valley jumps on the paper, although the blood lion penmanship is rough, but it is enough as a schematic diagram. He pointed to the lower entrance of the valley and said, "This valley is called the Valley of the Broken Head, but there are no human heads, and it is not known what the name is for." ”

"The entrance to the south side of the valley is the only easy way into the valley, and it is also the place where the heavy troops are stationed, of course, if the brothers fly away or the earth escapes into the valley, it is a different matter, I will explain in a moment. What I mean by the smooth road is the least ambush, the least prohibition, and the fewest magic circles, and we usually go in and out of the valley through here. ”

When Chen Yunsheng heard the magic circle and the prohibitions, he couldn't help but ask, "Are there a lot of prohibitions around the valley?" As far as I know, most of the demon beasts don't like these things. ”

The Blood Lion nodded and said, "Although we emphasize the strength of the body and strength when we are cultivating, and we don't have much research on talismans and magic circles, after all, we have been in the Guillotine Valley for tens of thousands of years, and after how many generations have accumulated, there are still many prohibitions that have been preserved intact, and the power of those ancient prohibitions cannot be underestimated." To be honest, there are many powerful prohibitions, and the lion demons in charge of them are already in a state of loss of control, so even for their own people, no one wants to take other roads in and out of the valley unless they have to. ”

"Do you mean that there are also prohibitions in the sky?" Yi Xiaohu asked innocently.

Le Xiang patted his head and said: "Brother Xiaohu is also straightforward, you think that there are thousands of lion demons living in that valley, if you enter the valley from the sky, I am afraid that you will be torn to pieces by others before you see the face of the Soul Suppression." The goal is too big to go from the sky, we are going to steal things, not to go to war, we have to keep a low profile. ”

"Brother Le understands what I mean, the sky is impassable. The Blood Lion chimed in.

"What about the underground?" Yi Xiaohu asked persistently.

"Underground...... The situation in this underground is unknown, and very few of us in the Yakuza clan cultivate the earth escape, and we don't know if there are any prohibitions in the underground. However, according to my speculation, it is not necessarily too peaceful below. The Blood Lion shook his head and said.

"It's not good to go up, it's not good to go down, there are still heavy troops stationed in the south, so it seems that we can't invade?" Xue Li said a little impatiently.

Chen Yunsheng said: "Brother Blood Lion must have an idea, it's better to say it quickly, let's refer to it." ”

The blood lion said with a smile: "Brother Chen doesn't speak, and he can get to the point as soon as he speaks." I do have a way to blend into the valley, but ......"

"It's just what?" Xue Li asked hurriedly.

"It's just that there are some risks for you. The blood lion had a slight look on his face.

"Stealing from the valley itself is a dangerous thing, and it doesn't hurt if you say what the risk is. Chen Yunsheng said briskly.

"Then the Jinsha country and our clan are like fire and water, we might as well use this to make some articles. It is well known that I was attacked in Sifangtai today, but no one knows who won or lost except for you and me. Why don't you pretend to be the guards of Jinsha Country and be caught by me, so that you can smoothly blend into the Guillotine Valley. The Blood Lion said.

"Wonderful!" Le Xiang blurted out.

"This plan is wonderful, but if the details are not done well, the danger is too great, if the fake becomes true, won't we be cut down?" Fang Minglan said on the side.

The blood lion nodded and said, "What the little girl said is right, that's what I was afraid of just now." However, there are not many careful people in the lion clan, and besides, it is very unlikely that they will be suspected if they speak from their own mouths. It's really not good, I'll explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly, it's a big deal, and I will definitely ensure your safety. ”

Chen Yunsheng said: "This is the only way to plan for now, we will prepare now, and strive to rush to the Guillotine Valley before dark, the night is the best cover." ”

"I have one thing to ask before I act, my brother can not say it, of course, if you can trust Blood, tell me. What are you spending so much effort to borrow the Soul Suppression Ding?" asked the Blood Lion with a frown.

"Do you know that there is a Valley of Ten Thousand Souls at the western foot of Lantau Mountain? There are countless ghosts in the valley all year round, and I borrowed the Ding just to surpass them. Chen Yunsheng said.

"As far as I know, the Rakshasa demon is very fierce, why did Engong think of overtaking them?" said the Blood Lion in surprise.

"Without him, I just can't bear them to escape in the mountains, cry in the wind all night, lose their humanity and become lonely ghosts, and finally disappear like a cloud between heaven and earth. After all, they all had parents and relatives, and they had a teacher's inheritance, after all, they once existed as human beings. Chen Yunsheng said in a low voice.

The blood lion nodded and said, "Engong has heaven and earth in his mind, compassion for the world, admiration, admiration." ”
