Chapter 247: Ancient Books
The fire pit in the house disperses the humidity of rainy days.
Mu Duo sat by the fire without saying a word, roasting some kind of root food similar to sweet potatoes, and the old priest's body became more and more old, and his wrinkled face was almost invisible, as if he could fall asleep at any time.
Another woman in her thirties was the successor of the old priest's training, named Shui Yun, and Bai Yujun remembered who she was through the smell.
The first time she came to Nanhuang, she was summoned, when she was still a young girl.
Facing the White Snake Holy Beast, Shui Yun was a little nervous.
Bai Yujun grabbed his deformed snake tail with one hand, raised it high so that the three of them could see it, and shook it, it actually had a brush function, like a tail fin used to swim in water, but those spikes were obviously different from fish.
"Look, I don't even know myself anymore, I'm pretty sure I crawled out of a pile of snake eggs. ”
Put down the snake tail, pick up the barbecue and put it in your mouth, and swallow it with a grunt......
The old priest may have fallen asleep or was reminiscing.
Half a day.
"I'm going to look at the ancient books, there should be a record. ”
Trembling and wanting to get up, Shui Yun hurriedly stepped forward to help the old priest and walked to the back room full of ancient books, Bai Yujun was really worried that the old priest who could not stand steadily would be carried into the fire pond, if the barbecue meat was knocked off and stained with grass and wood ashes, it would not be delicious.
Shui Yun helped the old priest to the bookshelf.
The countless ancient books in the house were the most valuable possession of the priests, some were paper books, some were bamboo slips, some were animal skins, and even many leaves full of ancient characters, which were well preserved by some means, and the room full of ancient books was very dry, and there was a faint smell of insect repellent medicine.
Standing in the middle of the rows of bookshelves, the old priest remembered for a long time before he walked slowly to some dusty shelf.
"On the third floor, take down the beast book in the middle. ”
Shui Yun nodded, found a bamboo stool and put it in front of the shelf, and stood on it carefully.
The bamboo bench creaked, Shui Yun looked at it, stretched out his hands to grab the ancient animal skin and slowly lifted it up and took it down, it was very heavy, the animal skin was nailed into a book after special processing, and it was very hard to the touch, with a faint camphor fragrance.
"Whew~"
Blow away the dust, revealing strange ancient characters on the cover.
The old priest nodded.
The two slowly walked back to the fire pond and sat down, and the old priest wiped the dust of the ancient books as if he were caressing his lover, and turned the animal skin book with his withered hands covered with old age spots, page by page, and slowly turned back.
Bai Yujun raised his neck and looked at it, there were all kinds of strange beasts painted on the animal skin paper, with strange shapes, and no matter how detailed it was, he couldn't see it clearly, and his eyes were too short-sighted.
After Bai Yujun ate the seventh piece of barbecue, the old priest stopped flipping through the book.
The long, cloudy eyes with bags stared at a picture, and their withered hands stroked the ancient words, perhaps remembering what those words meant.
Mu Duo also had a hint of interest, and leaned over to look at the drawings, and Bai Yujun got up and stood behind to look ahead.
The picture is painted like a snake and hideous and terrible monster, whether the head or tail of the snake or the small and dense bone spurs behind it are very similar to Bai Yujun, the whole body is covered with fine scales, making waves in the water, Bai Yujun felt that the ancestors of Yunyao Ancient Village must have wanted to express the evil of this demon beast, so the painting was particularly evil, manipulating the torrent to engulf the village tribe.
"Slander, this is slander, when did I start a flood?"
Bai Yujun wants to make a name for himself.
"Well, you didn't have a flood, you just stopped the water source of Heiyan Guzhai. Mu Duo answered.
"That's not for you. ”
"I know, so it's pleased. ”
“......”
The old priest carefully read the ancient text, confirmed the content little by little, and the more he looked, the happier he became, as if he had found something terrible, and his old face was like a wild chrysanthemum blooming in the wild.
After some sentences, the old priest spoke.
"Holy beast, you are undergoing evolution, ancient books record that there is a strange snake with a huge length, protruding eyebrows, and a spike at the end of the tail, the snake wants to turn into a Jiao, and the Jiao has turned into a dragon for five hundred years, and the Jiao has turned into a dragon for a thousand years. ”
"Strange snakes, often accompanied by storms and rains, rivers and torrents are raging, mountain people into the water, eaten by it, for the disaster. ”
Fortunately, thunder and lightning fell from the sky, and the giant serpent bowed its head. ”
At the beginning, Bai Yujun was very happy, turning into a dragon, Dora Feng, that is the legendary dragon, thinking about it, the snake scales all over his body are excited, and he is full of energy.
It sounds like a record of the Central Plains, probably the ancient books were snatched back from the Central Plains.
For what evil Jiao caused the flash flood raging, different species have different habits, it is difficult to ban Jiao's nature of playing in water, and the animals on both sides of the strait have not died a few people and hypocrisy.
However, the last sentence of thunder and lightning from the sky made Bai Yujun petrified, as if he had felt the thunder and lightning falling from the sky to split himself into a scorched outside and tender on the inside.
Guess that the giant snake that thunder and lightning fell from the sky and killed must have failed to cross the tribulation, didn't it say that it would cross the tribulation when it ascended?
How to add it again?
Knock~ The barbecue meat in his hand fell to the ground, and the fatty barbecue flicked and splashed the golden butter juice.
The three of them and one snake all understood that Bai Yujun should be in the stage of evolution to Jiao at present, and it can be confirmed that the direction of evolution is the legendary Jiao through the change characteristics, but this news makes Bai Yujun unhappy, don't underestimate one more catastrophe, how difficult it is, it is very likely to fall and die under the thunder and lightning.
Don't look at the usual take-off in the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, the catastrophe god thunder is specially split on the head.
The barbecue becomes tasteless.
Returning to the fire pond and sitting down, the three old priests were still studying the ancient books, Bai Yujun sat motionless, his head kept recalling the sentence that the thunder and lightning giant snake fell from the sky and bowed his head, it was possible to die the snake, a careless one was wiped out, and there was one more calamity than other cultivators for no reason, and it was difficult to calm down his mind.
Malice, the world is full of malice towards itself.
In a bad mood, the weather outside that originally exposed the blue sky turned cloudy again, and the wind rose again, as if confirming the records of the ancients, and there was a great tendency to make waves.
I didn't want to stay any longer, so I said hello and got up and left.
I happily came to ask about something, but when I heard the bad news, my good mood was ruined, and it didn't rain anymore, but the sky was gloomy and depressing, lying on the bed and looking out the window at the dark clouds in the sky, thinking about whether to slow down my cultivation speed and postpone the tribulation as much as possible, no one is not afraid of death, even those who claim to be fearless and enterprising, death is always the most terrible enemy of life.
That night, Bai Yujun had insomnia.
I was so frightened by the catastrophe that I couldn't sleep all night, I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and when I closed my eyes, I could always remember the thunder and lightning from the sky.
It's like everyone playing a game happily together, others are ordinary difficulty, and they choose a backbone difficulty, and rush to the level to take a look, okay, challenge the team boss alone.
In the past, I felt that I was gifted and mysterious, and whether it was evolution or advancement, I couldn't control events, but it was different from other snakes.
The wind outside the window carried a faint dampness, blowing hair sticky to his cheeks. I want to talk about "New White Snake Asks Immortals" with more like-minded people, "Chat with more book friends about your favorite books."
