Chapter 3: The God of Snakes

The flow of the earth's air to the earth is like the flow of blood to the human body. The blood veins of the human body form a pulse with the retraction and release of the heart, and the same is true of the earth's qi.

However, compared to the pulse of the human body at seventy or eighty times a minute. The pulse of the earth is much slower, so slow that it is barely felt by a normal person.

Zhang Shiping needs to grasp the highest peak of the pulse of the earth in deep meditation, and then swallow a trace of pure earth qi from it, so as to merge with the dragon qi and achieve authority.

On the earth in the previous life, the sages wrote that the earth pulsated for seven days at a time. When collecting earth qi from this kind, most of them will calculate according to the basis of the transit of the stars, the four solar terms, etc., and the time of the pulse is accurate to a few seconds.

However, Zhang Shiping is not proficient in the way of counting, and the two worlds are different, and there is no way to apply the set of the earth. If you want to use it, you must re-survey the fourth level and deduce the ephemeris. Although this world has just opened, there are only six main stars in the sky that symbolize the five elements of Tianyuan, and it doesn't take much time to deduce the ephemeris. But that's also measured in ten years. With that kung fu, the daylilies are cold.

In this regard, Zhang Shiping can only use his dead work to see if he can come to the big luck in two days, and the blind cat meets a dead mouse.

The earth's qi slowly and firmly expanded outward like a tide, and the deep and heavy aura unique to the earth continued to oppress Zhang Shiping, who was deeply in the realm. As long as his mind wavered slightly, he turned back like a mortal who fell into the sea, and his soul completely dissipated.

Cultivators see the most fantastic and gorgeous scenery in the world, because they are walking the most dangerous path in the world. The infinite scenery is in the dangerous peak, which is no different from ancient and modern.

However, Zhang Shiping's luck seems to be good. In the afternoon of the second day, Zhang Shiping felt the highest peak of the earth's pulse.

There is an orderly flow of earth qi from the dragon's lair, and then incorporated into the body, and the dragon qi is integrated.

The process has to be fast. The earth's qi is turbid, and the qi and blood are unbearable.

Fortunately, this process is quite smooth, although the body will inevitably be a little clogged with the breath of the earth, but this can be slowly dissolved and reconciled with the clear qi of the sky in the future, and it is not a permanent sequelae.

Stretching out his hand, a small spirit snake with a slightly illusory body, broken gold eyes, but a yellow-brown body, and a foot short and long, fell into his palm.

This little snake is the authority condensed by Zhang Shiping.

The gods ride the dragon, and the earth only steps on the snake. This serpent has always been a symbol of the earth in Shinto. In some classics, the god of the mountain is often described as the god of snakes. Some of the ancient gods recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are mostly wearing snakes and trampling snakes to indicate the identity of their gods.

The so-called armed with a sharp blade, the murderous heart is self-revealed. Now that the authority is initially condensed, he is about to seize the other two dragon's dens beside him and perfect the authority.

Zhang Shiping, deep in the dragon's lair, is the north of Yin Mountain, and the so-called south of the mountain and the north of the water are called the yang. These three are inferior dragon dens, but if they are unified, they are the complete Yin Shan feminine side, although they are much worse than the yang side, but at least they can form a complete authority. This is more important than getting a medium dragon's den.

It just so happens that there is some hunger in the belly, and with authority, there is no need to be afraid of some ordinary threats in the mountains and forests. Counting up, it has been the sixth day that Zhang Shiping has come to this world. Now that the foundation has been laid, the mood is very different from yesterday.

Stepping out of the cave, the sun is shining brightly.

Thinking about the terrible environment in the tiger's den, my mind was tied to the power of condensation for the first two days, and I didn't feel it when I hid in the cave all the time. Now that I came out to compare, I suddenly felt that all kinds of things in the cave were unbearable, and I was very unhappy in my heart.

I used to think about the cultivators of my predecessors, and I lived in the mountains, so I was not chic and comfortable. On Earth, the conditions are not enough, you can only think about it, but now you can give it a try.

But that's really for the future. For now, let's go get something to eat, and then look around the surrounding terrain. After all, if you want to live here for a while, you still need to find out.

As soon as his thoughts turned around, Zhang Shiping thought of the giant tiger who was abandoned in the wilderness by himself.

"I don't know what's going on over there. I think after two or three days, there should only be a bunch of skeletons left. ”

Zhang Shiping said with emotion.

Thinking like this, his feet naturally walked towards the place where the giant tiger's corpse remained.

Walking in the forest, the place you pass is a smooth road by itself. This is a fairly convenient feature that comes with the authority of the mountain god.

When he came to the corpse of the giant tiger, Zhang Shiping found something quite interesting.

I don't know if it's because of the perennial bathing of the earth. The spirit of the giant tiger hovered beside his corpse, refusing to leave.

That's a pretty rare thing.

Although both the East and the West have haunted legends. But half of them are ghosts in people's hearts, and the remaining half are mostly designed by people with hearts.

The real ghost is even more rare than the panda in the zoo.

Most of the lives are dead, and they will completely dissipate into the heavens and the earth in just a few days. There is a folk custom on the earth called the first seven. It is said that after death, people will linger in the Yang world for seven days before returning to the underworld. The truth is almost spoken.

Ordinary people, under normal circumstances, can only exist for seven days after death, and then they are completely gone.

And the beast is much worse without intelligence, basically a day or two.

And this giant tiger has a strong soul body, and it lasts for about a month in the Yang World. This is quite remarkable, that is, if Zhang Shiping himself is out of the body at this time, it will be almost to this extent.

However, even the giant tiger ghoul-like keeper's own body is still missing the lower half of his body.

Zhang Shiping took a closer look, and it was not also a trace of biting. Rather, it is the marks left by the cutting of sharp objects.

Even the stone axe that Zhang Shiping sharpened himself had quietly disappeared at this time.

Intelligent life, Zhang Shiping said affirmatively in his heart.

I don't know if it's human.

Zhang Shiping thought silently.

After taking a closer look at the surrounding situation, it was obvious that the group of intelligent beings who didn't know if it was human or not were very cautious and carefully erased their traces.

Zhang Shiping was very interested in this.

As long as it is an intelligent life, it can communicate and drive it to benefit. This will go a long way in Zhang's plan.

I found a stone the size of a man's head. With the help of the authority of the mountain god, the hard stone powder fell straight away. After a while, a palm-sized stone tablet appeared in Zhang Shiping's hand.

Bite the tip of your index finger and use your blood to draw a soul-nourishing spell on the stone tablet. It was then placed next to the giant tiger's corpse.

This is just an idle chess piece for Zhang Shiping. If this giant tiger can seize the opportunity to hide in this soul cultivation stone tablet, Zhang Shiping will spend some effort to cultivate it. If not, let him go.

Zhang Shiping's mind is now all about this unknown intelligent life, and he is really in no mood to accompany this giant tiger to complete the cultivation game.

The body of the giant tiger was already somewhat decomposed, which made Zhang Shiping a little pity. He didn't know if this unknown intelligent life had the habit of eating scavengers, otherwise he would just wait here for the rabbit.

Solve the problem of food with wild fruits on the side of the road. The ability to discern whether plants and trees are harmful to oneself is also a subordinate function of authority. Although it is not as good as the ochre whip in the hands of the legendary Yan Emperor Shennong, who can distinguish the warmth and heat of plants and trees, it is enough for Zhang Shiping to use it himself.

However, this does not mean that Zhang Shiping can be leisurely now, he still has a big problem to solve.

Salt!

No matter how powerful Zhang Shiping is now, as long as he still exists in the world as flesh and blood, then he can't lack salt.

If you can't replenish salt for a long time, then you will have a nervous breakdown, general fatigue, and various problems will follow. When the time comes, don't practice, just be a companion and a ghost with that tiger.

Well, Taoism also has the method of ghosts and immortals.

Of course, this is not something that can be solved all at once. After all, the mountains and forests are vast, and who knows where there are salt lakes and the like.

When I think about it, the idea of finding the unknown intelligent life is even stronger. To survive in this land, you must know how to obtain salt, and as long as you find them, whether it is in exchange or persecution, it will always be much faster than your own aimless search.

Zhang Shiping is very sorry that he has no experience in jungle tracking, otherwise it would be much easier now.

But I'm not in a hurry right now. With the blood of some prey, Zhang Shiping can hold on for a while, as long as he can find that group of intelligent beings during this time. In this regard, Zhang Shiping is full of confidence.

With the authority of the mountain god in hand, even if a person slowly searches with dragnets, he can always find it.

After going around, Zhang Shiping saw that it was getting late. He walked straight in the direction of the tiger's den.

As a result, I didn't expect that the flowers would not bloom if I planted them intentionally, and I planted willows and willows unintentionally. In the vicinity of the tiger's den, Zhang Shiping discovered the humans of this world.

It was a sturdy young man with short hair and a stone axe sharpened by Zhang Shiping.

Zhang Shiping, who had a keen sense, found the man hiding in the tree from a long distance.

But this guy is also capable. Huddled up and hid in the canopy, even if Zhang Shiping knew in advance that there was someone there, he only found out after watching it for a while.

In the spirit of safety first. Zhang Shiping recognized the little snake that the mountain god's authority had turned into from a long distance.

Don't look at this little snake in Zhang Shiping's hands, look at him, just underestimate him.

I saw that this little snake turned into a brown lightning bolt in the air, and it crossed the country at a distance of nearly 100 meters. Then he gently attached himself to the man. There was no need for other actions, and the man was directly crushed and fell to the ground along with the branches.

If it weren't for Zhang Shiping's intentional control, this man would have become a pile of mud by now.

Gently retracting the little snake, Zhang Shiping looked at the man on the ground who couldn't stop moaning, and asked:

"Who are you, and why are you wandering in my dwelling? ”

It's a pity that people in this world don't know Chinese. So the man couldn't understand what Zhang Shiping was saying at all.

But Zhang Shiping doesn't need him to understand, as long as he understands that he is angry.
