Chapter 10: The Dragon Slayer
It turned out that this snake demon lived in the mountains near here, and was enlightened by a Taoist who came to collect medicine five hundred years ago, and only then did he enter the path of cultivation.
For five hundred years, this snake demon has always abided by the teachings of the Taoists of the year, never harming living beings, and all the mana accumulated by swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon by himself. In his free time, he also helps to sort out the soil in the mountains, fertilize the surrounding land, reconcile water vapor, and suppress possible droughts, which also accumulates some merits.
It's a pity that the qualifications of this snake demon are really not very good, and when the spirit was just opened, I didn't know the importance of learning. When a Taoist teaches the Dao, his mind is often wandered, so much so that he does not write down all the things he learns from the Taoist.
The incomplete exercises greatly delayed its practice, and it is only now that it has gradually touched the threshold of turning into a jiao.
Turning into a dragon is the best cultivation method for snakes, and it is a road to heaven, which can eventually achieve the body of a true dragon.
It's just that although this method is good, the dragon is a divine beast bred by heaven and earth, born with yin and yang and clouds and rain, snakes want to turn into a dragon must choose one of the dragon qi, dragon blood, dragon scales, and pregnant dragon horns as the foundation of their own dragon, and open the road to turn into a dragon.
It can condense dragon qi, gather dragon blood, raise dragon scales, and pregnant dragon horns, each of which requires a lot of time to spend.
Snakes without special bloodline inheritance, even if they become demons, have a lifespan of about five hundred years, and there is no time to condense dragon qi, gather dragon blood, raise dragon scales, and pregnant dragon horns. So that the vast majority of snakes at the age of 500 will choose to go to the flood, and by mastering the authority to make the tide and the clouds and rain, they will be recognized by heaven and earth and speed up the speed of turning into dragons.
This is also the origin of the saying that the snake has been a dragon for 500 years and a dragon for a thousand years.
The snake demon in front of him was Shou Yuan approaching, and he had to choose Xinghong, trying to use this to turn Jiao and prolong Shou Yuan.
"So, did you meet some master when you were in the flood and slashed him?" Yu Chen looked at the snake demon's legs, there was a sharp aura there, obviously this snake demon was injured by some sharp weapon.
"The little demon is wronged!" the snake demon hurriedly explained.
At first, the snake demon thought very well, it started with a lake in the mountains, and a few days ago, with the help of the rain, the lake flooded, turned into a torrent, and went down the river. As long as you pass through a few fertile fields, you can belong to the channel of the surrounding Qingshui River, and then enter the river from the river, get rid of the shackles of the snake body, and get rid of the scales.
Unexpectedly, on the most downstream section of the Qingshui River, a new bridge was built, and when the snake demon explored the path a month ago, the new bridge had not yet started, and he didn't know the existence of this bridge at all.
In the process of the snake demon's flooding, there are many taboos, and when it encounters a bridge obstruction, it is like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and it must not pass from below.
The snake demon who was forced to be helpless could only rush away with the torrent of the new bridge, and did not want to bury a dragon-slaying sword under the bridge when the stone bridge was built.
For the Dragon Slaying Sword, Yu Chen's experience in his previous life is single, and he also understands it, this thing is somewhat similar to the Money Sword, and it is a magic weapon created with the help of the will power of all beings.
At the beginning of the construction, the master was invited to write the talisman, and after burning, the ashes were added to the molten iron, and then the blacksmith worshiped the ten sacred parties under the ceremony presided over by the master with at least 100 people participating, and invited divine power, and then carefully built to forge a dragon sword.
Moreover, there are still many restrictions on the creation of this dragon slaying sword, and the materials required are also very complex, so after it is formed, it contains a pure yang power to punish evil, and the idea of killing the dragon and snake is the most restraining the big snake that tries to turn into a dragon.
This snake demon was able to appear in front of Yu Chen, or because he had accumulated a certain amount of merit in the past, and when the dragon slaying sword intent fell, he blocked one or two. Otherwise, this guy would have been killed with a sword when he touched the Dragon Slaying Sword.
However, Yu Chen glanced at the snake demon, he didn't notice any pure yang artistic conception, but instead felt a cold and evil aura, and said a little strangely: "Are you sure to slash your dragon sword." ”
"The little demon doesn't dare to deceive his predecessors!" Saying that, the snake demon reached out and lifted the hem of the robe, and a deep sword mark clearly appeared on the snake demon's leg.
Yu Chen's face was solemn, and the mist between his mouth and nose was swirling, turning into a snake shadow and falling.
The snake demon's body became extremely stiff, and he felt an overwhelming aura appear on himself, ancient and savage, as if the snake shadow was an ancient monster that came out of the primeval flood period.
The snake shadow landed on the wound and quickly drew out a sword qi, and the sword qi gushed out, pointing directly at the center of Yu Chen's eyebrows.
Yu Chen's complexion changed slightly, and a large amount of mist appeared between his mouth and nose, turning into a snake shadow to meet him, but he was easily cut off.
However, with the help of the snake shadow's obstruction, Yu Chen also completed a new spell to restrain the falling sword qi, and after a brief analysis, he couldn't help frowning, and secretly said in his heart: "This sword intent is really the dragon slaying sword intent?" It's just that this breath is too vicious, not like the dragon slaying sword refined by the orthodox method! It's a bit witchcraft, no! Compared to the witch way, this breath is more extreme, with a strong corrosiveness, and closer to the demon way. ’
Thinking of this, Yu Chen couldn't help but sigh at the luck of this snake demon, these days are the Dragon Boat Festival, the yang energy between heaven and earth is extremely heavy, logically speaking, the black snake is flooding at this time, and it is certain to die when it encounters the dragon sword.
However, this dragon slaying sword itself is extremely evil, and it is also suppressed by the yang energy of heaven and earth, plus the merit on the black snake's body, it only hurts his tail, instead of directly cutting it in two.
Silently shaking his head, Yu Chen recited the golden light mantra, a faint golden light appeared, and little by little pulled out the remaining sword qi in the snake demon's body, and said indifferently: "I have pulled out the remaining dragon slaying sword qi in your body, and I will take a look at the specific situation afterwards." Come back in a week!"
After speaking, Yu Chen didn't say anything more, and looked like he was sending off guests behind closed doors.
The snake demon is not a fool, after bowing down, he got up and left this place, Yu Chen frowned again after the snake demon left, looking at the sword qi in front of him.
'It has been nearly ten years since I performed the Golden Light Mantra, and I have recited it at least ten times a day, and in my free time, I have recited it one hundred or two hundred times, and now the Golden Light Mantra has not been recited 100,000 times, but also 80,000 or 90,000 times, which can be called the first method for protecting the Dharma and punishing evil spirits at hand. There is no way to take the core power of this sword qi, it seems that the things behind this dragon slaying sword are even more troublesome than I imagined!"
After thinking about it, Yu Chen looked at the progress bar at the bottom of his system that represented the crossing, at this time, most of the white color had faded, according to the convention in the game world in his previous life, he could probably stay in this copy for more than half a month.
"You can go and see!" In the spirit of not having much time and being able to test one or two, Yu Chen picked up his things and left the residence before dawn on the second day, and walked for a long time to the edge of the newly built stone bridge in the mouth of the snake demon.
This stone bridge is built with bluestone slabs, perhaps because the production period is relatively short, there is no superfluous decoration, and it looks quite unpretentious.
But when he walked on the stone bridge, Yuchen knew that it was wrong, as a former snake witch, Yuchen didn't dare to say how mysterious his divine passage method was, but he definitely had a deep understanding of the way of sacrifice. Others may not be able to see the problem with this stone bridge, but Yu Chen can see at a glance that this stone bridge is sacrificed by human pillars.
The so-called 'human pillar sacrifice', also known as the living human pile, or the beating of the living pile, is a kind of existence similar to the dragon sword, but the inheritance is longer, and step by step from a good cure to a bad habit and evil law.
Since the beginning of Yuchen's era, there has been a saying that heaven and earth have spirits, so the folk have always had the saying that there is a landscape and a god. Of course, the gods here do not refer to the gods, but a little spirituality condensed by the surrounding earth spirits, if there is a fate in the future, maybe you can be a god, before that, more inclined to the mountain spirits and wild monsters.
Most of these things are even in the deep mountains and old forests, inaccessible places, if someone opens mountains and builds roads, digs rivers and bridges in these places, they may encounter them.
If you encounter a good person, you only need to burn incense and pray to be safe, but if you encounter a bad person, you have to rely on sacrifices.
In ancient times, the sacrifice was made with three animals or three birds, and when encountering a more ferocious one, it was even necessary to sacrifice many times.
Over time, this method of sacrifice was extended to more convenient and inhumane methods, using living people as sacrifices.
This kind of thing was quite common in ancient times, because people did not have much food, and the tribes fought and killed each other, and many slaves would be born. In addition to being coolies, these slaves were often prepared sacrifices.
However, since the Qin and Han dynasties re-established the norm and cut off the sacrifice of the living, the 'human pillar sacrifice' has completely degenerated into an evil law.
ps: The human pillar sacrifice is a bad habit, and the article turns from a good prescription to a bad habit and evil law is based on the fairy god system, and all things are animist, don't take it seriously!
