Chapter 5: The Palace of the Ancestors
In the darkness, a black-scaled giant snake was wrapped around the trunk of a tree, one or two zhang long, and its body was thicker than a human thigh. The two eyes glowed with a crimson glow, staring at the little tiger viciously.
Xiao Yang was taken aback, it was not that he was shallow, but that this strange snake was actually a monster.
"How could you be here?" he wondered.
This is a snake species unique to the demon world, born from the feeling of demonic energy, in short, there must be a source of demonic breath nearby.
That being said, such a big demon snake has at least a hundred years of cultivation, and with Xiao Yang's Taoism, the end will definitely be buried in the belly of the snake. His mind raced to find a spell that could be used. After thinking about it for a long time, only Fire Shooting and Cold Ice Posts are available, and the others have very high requirements for cultivation level and spiritual power.
Xiao Yang silently recited the mantra in his heart, his body was floating five or six feet high on the ground, and two flames suddenly formed in his hands, rotating around him. The next moment, he grabbed the flames and kneaded them into a ball, and the surroundings instantly turned red.
"Go!" With a shout, the fireball shot out of his hand, rushing towards the enemy at great speed.
I heard a bang, and the snake was surrounded by fire, and it hissed violently, and the leaves next to it were scorched by the flames.
"It's a success!" Xiao Yang was overjoyed.
Xiaohu ignored him at all, still looking ahead vigilantly.
"Hiss......" accompanied by a tooth-aching hiss. The snake burst out of the fire unscathed.
Xiao Yang recited the mantra again and rushed forward a few steps, punched the ground, splashed a little frost all around, and the crystal ice centered on the fist, quickly spread around, spreading under the snake's body and immediately freezing it.
He sat on the ground, and his spiritual power was almost overdrawn. The little tiger looked at him and shook his head helplessly.
Hearing the sound of clicking and clicking on the ground, the ice shell on the Demon Nitrate Snake's body instantly cracked and shattered. Its red eyes were extremely large, and black gas continued to spew out from its mouth, which was obviously extremely angry, and then a large mouth struck at a rapid speed.
This time, Xiao Yang was really scared, so he had to carry the aura on his legs and take the soles of Xiaohu's feet to anoint. He kept signaling to it.
Unexpectedly, Xiaohu no longer paid attention to him, his golden eyes stared at the demon snake, and suddenly released blue electric light from his four claws.
Before Xiao Yang could get annoyed, it disappeared out of thin air in his field of vision. Not far away, lightning flashed, making a crackling sound, mixed with the neighing of snakes and cats.
The moment the sun shines into the forest, all sounds cease abruptly.
Xiao Yang had the courage to touch it slowly, and the scene that caught his eye made him unable to believe it.
The snake had a huge head held high, and its whole body froze and did not know whether it was alive or dead. When I walked in, I saw that the red light in my eyes was gone. Suddenly, it burst into dozens of pieces from the head down and spread them on the ground, and the black blood spread instantly, but all the flowers and trees were rotten.
At this time, Xiaohu took a strange flower out of nowhere, and after a few ups and downs on the trunk, he poured the juice inside on the snake's blood. Strange to say, the extremely poisonous snake blood actually emitted black gas, and it evaporated cleanly in an instant.
"You...... What kind of monster are you?" Xiao Yang sat on the ground and looked at it in amazement.
Xiaohu rolled his eyes at him, squatted aside and licked his hair.
One person and one cat returned home, Xiao Yang searched for a long time, but couldn't find anything that Xiaohu could eat, so he had to blush, scoop a bowl of water and put it on the table.
"Hey, Master and I live a hard life, and there is nothing to eat. I'll have to go to the room to help, and I'll bring you some pieces of meat later," he said, putting on a coarse cloth jacket and hurried out.
The little tiger was very clever, licked a few mouthfuls of water, and then took a nap on the chair.
Suddenly, without warning, it opened its eyes and emitted a blazing golden expanse, which then turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared by the window.
When Xiao Yang was lighting the fire on the stove, the overseer of the house still had a sharp axe by his side.
"From today onwards, go up the mountain and chop twenty loads of firewood, and don't eat if you don't have one load!"
"Why did you let me go if there was a firewoodman!" Rao was that he swallowed his anger for many days, and at this moment he also burst out of the fire.
"Hehe, are you the Taoist master, I am farting when I speak, and my flesh is itching again?" said and sucked his hand, instantly causing the fire to Xiao Yang's body. Thanks to his secret ice pad to protect himself, he didn't get burned.
Just when Xiao Yang couldn't hold back and was about to have a seizure, an old worker persuaded him and put on his shirt for him. This time let him calm down, although the overseer is only in charge of the room, he is a disciple of three generations, no matter how bad he is, he has the Dao of refining two or three times, he is not an opponent at all, and he can't expose his cultivation too early.
He thanked the old worker, picked up the axe and walked out silently, and there was a sound of laughter behind him. Thinking that everything was done by Elder Jishan, he was relieved and walked to a place where no one was doing his luck.
Rao is that he has some cultivation, and these twenty loads of firewood are also cut until sunset, just at the end of the work. A white shadow rushed to his shoulder, which really startled him, and when he looked at it, it was Xiaohu. At this moment, he was extremely embarrassed, his snow-white hair was stained with mud and blood, and the old wounds had flare-up and new ones, and he looked languishing.
Xiao Yang said bitterly: "Who hurt you like this!" said and bandaged its wounds. The little tiger slapped the jade bottle with his paws. The other party understood and immediately poured spring water into his mouth.
In less than half a cup of tea, Xiaohu regained his spiritual power, and it looked at Xiao Yang and fell into thought. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he grabbed his trouser leg and motioned to follow it.
The place in front of him was not unfamiliar, it was the peak of Xiao Yang's daily practice of suppressing demons. He didn't know why, "What are you bringing me here for?"
Xiaohu ignored him, and a few ups and downs drew a quaint mark on the boulder. In the dusk, the mark glowed with a faint blue light, and in an instant, it turned into a stone door.
Unexpectedly, at the moment of opening, it was filled with evil red rays, and it produced an incomparable suction force from the inside out, swallowing a person and a cat into it.
Xiao Yang gripped the edge of the stone door, there was an extremely deep hole underneath, and at the bottom was a dazzling lava, and he could vaguely see a pair of giant eyes staring up. Rao is that he has memories of his previous life, and he can't help but be frightened.
The little tiger was unfazed, and its four claws shot out electric light, firmly stuck on the stone wall.
"Help me!" This call for help actually caused the spiritual power to leak out, and I saw Xiao Yang fall to the bottom of the cave like a leaf in the wind. In a panic, he kept touching the stone wall, trying to grasp something to slow down, but the stone wall was as smooth as a mirror.
Just as he closed his eyes and waited for death, Xiaohu also jumped down, stretched out his hind legs and kicked at the other party.
Xiao Yang crashed into the stone wall, and before he could cry out in pain, he was pulled in by another force.
With the sensation of landing, he couldn't bear it anymore and coughed violently.
"You little ......!"
Before he could finish scolding, Xiaohu turned into a blue light and ran around a few times. The darkness in front of him receded, and I saw a wide corridor with torches burning on it.
Under its guidance, Xiao Yang cautiously groped forward. After a while, the eyes suddenly opened up, and there was a floating underground palace on the opposite side. Although the entire outline cannot be seen clearly, the carved beams and painted columns, Qionglou Yuyu looks very majestic. Behind the archway is filled with a thick purple mist, faintly showing layers of pavilions, which shows the wide area.
Between the hundred zhang is a stone bridge that is also floating in the air, and the railings on both sides of the bridge are carved with pictures of flying immortals. Xiao Yang stepped on it cautiously, but there was no shaking.
Stepping on the stone steps of the underground palace, I found that this gate was actually a gold nail of vermilion lacquer, and three gilded characters were written on the plaque "Ancestor Palace".
Xiao Yang looked around vigilantly, thinking to himself that this huge underground palace would not allow outsiders to come and go at will. He tentatively reached for the knocker, and the stone lions on both sides suddenly stretched out their claws and slapped them, and he dodged backwards to dodge.
The eyes of the two stone lions showed golden light, exuding a breathtaking momentum. It's not as tough as the Ugin Lion, but it's anything but extraordinary.
One of them suddenly pounced, Xiao Yang rolled on the ground and silently carried the ice sticker, and at the moment it landed, he held the lion's claw with both hands and froze it to the ground. The stone lion couldn't earn it for a while.
The other rushed wildly, and just as the lion's mouth was about to bite down, Xiao Yang urged the fireball to stuff it into its mouth, and actually let out a whining roar.
"These two guys are all they can do!"
Before Xiao Yang could taste the joy of winning, a smile froze on his face.
The two stone lions didn't know what kind of mana blessing they had obtained, their foreheads flashed with golden talismans, their bodies swelled in a circle, and the spiritual power around them skyrocketed. Xiao Yang only felt a flower in front of him, and he was knocked down vigorously. A giant lion stepped on him, and all his bones seemed to be crushed.
