Chapter 21: The Shadow of the Snake Slope

The world is unpredictable!

Who would have thought that for tens of thousands of years, the inaccessible Shetou Slope would suddenly become a passing cloud. The Blood Snake King, this kind of remnant of the desolation that the monks of the Tiangang Realm of the human race are helpless, was planted in the hands of a yellow-haired young man who was not afraid of the sky and the earth. Is there an end to everything, or is there always a strange person? The question has been explored by countless people, but it seems to have become a permanent mystery.

In this regard, Dugu Yangming was not a person who reflected like this. I still think about it, how could I escape from Uze Island? Originally, in that darkness, if it was really a giant python, why was it just a double core inserted into my lower abdomen! Isn't it easier to devour it?

Then, relying on a brute force, he killed the fourth-order demon beast of the camel leopard. This matter was simply impossible for a high-level cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm. It's just that at that time, I was aiming to export my evil anger and try to be as fast as I could, but I didn't think too much about it.

Moreover, this time he participated in the training prescribed by the sect. It is believed that there are not 1,000 monks who pass through Pinghe Ridge every day, but 800. Why is it that when only Dugu Yangming stands at that intersection, the snakes will appear collectively?

Dugu Yangming thought about it repeatedly, whether it was the "giant python" on Wuze Island, or the camel leopard on Tielin Island, or the blood snake snake king on Blood Snake Mountain, they all died under the "black stick". For this "black stick", I am no longer familiar with it. It is three feet three inches long, and the whole body is evenly proportioned one inch wide and thick, and the color is jet black. It always gives people a feeling of "like a ruler but not a ruler, like a stick but not a stick", but it always has an extraordinary power. Falling on the island of Uze, it seems that it is just waiting for the arrival of a master. Obviously, this master, at some point, can sense the supernatural power on this stick, and can breathe with it.

Imagine that since the opening of the Zhenwu Palace, there have been thirty-two generations. During the period, the talents are handsome, and I don't know how many. Moreover, judging from the reactions of the elders of the sect, they did not know the origin of this stick.

In other words, Xu Huaiyuan drove the fairy boat and flew quickly and steadily. The people in the Xianzhou were very excited and excited at first, and they couldn't wait to pour out what they had encountered. But gradually, everyone still moved their eyes to Dugu Yangming, who didn't say a word.

It's rare for this talkative fellow to be so quiet. However, after experiencing this incident, all of these more than 200 people are very grateful to him. They also knew that Dugu Yangming must have been injured in some way, but they never told them about it. Especially his occasional rapid gasp, in the barren mountains and wilderness, he didn't feel anything, but in this pure and safe fairy boat, it looked a little crazy.

Dugu Yangming is a suspicious and thinking person, not to mention, he encountered something that he couldn't explain. At this moment, his mind has been filtering all kinds of things repeatedly, but it is difficult to have a real relief. Coupled with the infinitely pure spiritual power on the blood snake that he absorbed, although most of them had been attributed to Yintang, Jizhong and Dantian, there was only some residual power, and his body could not guide and merge in a short period of time. The slightest abnormal movement can make you dizzy and your body want to crack. How can you still have the heart to take care of all your peers?

As soon as the same door saw this situation, he took the opportunity to tell Xu Huaiyuan about the events in the Blood Snake Mountain Range. Xu Huaiyuan, a senior brother of the sect with a calm heart, his expression was also constantly changing, he was frightened, surprised, and confused.

When a fellow disciple said that he had reached Xianzhou, everyone chuckled.

Suddenly, a voice said disdainfully: "What a shame, how can I deceive? Why don't you say that you have something to say about Senior Brother Xu?"

Shangguan Canghai laughed "haha", glanced at Dugu Yangming a few times, and said, "Hey, Senior Brother Yangming, is your breath stable? I'm not provoking you so that you can catch your breath." ”

Huang Shi said in a rough voice: "Senior Brother Yangming, these six days have really hurt you. Escaping from Pinghe Ridge today, I can feel that your body is probably at the end of its power. I didn't expect that your brain is still so good, and you can deceive people one by one. ”

"If it weren't for my breath, how could I be afraid of them?"

A young girl said, "Don't be reckless! It's clear that you're just fleeing, and you still say it so nicely!"

"You don't understand what I'm doing!"

Another girl said: "Senior Brother Yangming, you just let us leave the Blood Snake Mountain quickly, are you afraid that the Blood Snake King will be discovered by other factions and compete with us?"

Another person continued: "Yes! That Blood Snake and Snake King is definitely a treasure. Even if the other faction is afraid of hurting the harmony and does not snatch it all, they will definitely strive to get a piece of the pie. At that time, there will definitely be a lot of entanglement. ”

Dugu Yangming glanced at everyone, laughed "haha", and said, "You can think of this, and you haven't messed with me in vain." In fact, there is another thing, that is, the big tree must be a 10,000-year-old blood cypress, and it has been destroyed. According to what I know from the records of the "Yuan Shi Demon Codex", the bloody power possessed by this 10,000-year-old blood cypress can attract profound demon beasts. I think that around the Snake Head Slope and Pinghe Ridge, there will soon be very powerful demon beasts entering. The disciples of those sects, if they still covet something, will surely suffer heavy casualties. However, the three people who talked to Senior Brother Xu were all extremely shrewd, and they should soon discover my flaws, and maybe they could recover some losses, and they would definitely say so!"

Shangguan Canghai said disapprerovingly: "The matter of his faction is none of our business! On the contrary, Senior Brother Yangming, what is wrong with you? Since you were entangled by the blood snake, your face has been extremely ruddy, and the major acupuncture points in your body seem to be dancing. We speculate that there is a blood snake essence that has been sucked into your body? For several days, we did not dare to ask you. Can you talk about it now?"

Dugu Yangming sighed lightly and said, "I don't know very well. But one thing is certain, the blood snake wants to melt a foreign body into its body, and the foreign body will also receive its essence and blood. Although I received very little blood in my body, it was too much for me to bear. The slightest abnormal movement is painful. Come to think of it, if you want to completely dissolve, it won't take more than a month, I'm afraid it won't work. At this point, suddenly a knowing one said, "Look!"

Everyone gathered around and looked at the blood snake in Ruyi's belt. I saw that the blood snake was still ruddy and bewitching, like a living creature, wriggling.

Someone asked, "Senior Brother Xu, do you know the details of this?"

Xu Huaiyuan laughed loudly and replied, "I don't know the details, but according to my experience, this blood snake is at least a ninth-grade spiritual material. Or, it is already a ground-level spiritual material that has almost been extinct in Hongmeng, and it may not be. ”

When Dugu Yangming heard this, he quickly put it away, pretending that nothing had happened. glanced at everyone, which meant "get away from it, and don't think anything wrong." ”

Xu Huaiyuan said again: "Senior Brother Dugu, this matter is very high! Perhaps, relying on this blood snake, the sect can breathe a sigh of relief, maybe!"

Dugu Yangming hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Xu, please stop! The sect is slow down, it has nothing to do with me! This is my personal gain!" I'm not going to give it to my teacher. ”

One of them asked, "Senior Brother Xu, could it be that you haven't heard about the strange things in Blood Snake Mountain?"

Xu Huaiyuan smiled and said, "I have indeed heard of it! It is said that it is a member of the Immortal Society, and when he passed through Pinghe Ridge, he saw a figure floating on the slope of the snakehead. This person observed for two days, and after confirming that it was correct, he returned to the Immortal Society and informed him of the matter. The immortal elders, who were originally suspicious, thought twice before sending someone out to investigate. The news of Hongmeng spread so quickly, and the matter spread quickly. Since my faction has a deep grudge with the Immortal Society, and I speculate that it will definitely not be you, I have not come to look for it. I wanted to go into the mountains again in fifteen days to look for you. Unexpectedly, you went down the mountain early. ”

Huang Shi let out a "hey" and said, "It's too dangerous! If it weren't for Senior Brother Yangming to let us hide in the deep grass as much as possible, this matter would never have escaped a dispute." ”

A teenager pulled his face, touched his face, and glared at Dugu Yangming. The girls next to him laughed out loud, and one said, "Senior Brother Xiao, does your face still hurt?"

This person's name is Xiao Daren, he glared at Dugu Yangming angrily, and muttered: "Senior Brother Yangming is too ruthless! I was dizzy for a long time after a few slaps!"

Huang Shi said: "Yes! Who told you to be so swaggering and not act according to what Senior Brother Yangming said! Look at it, how dangerous this thing is! If you really miss this matter because of you, you are a sinner of the sect." ”

It turned out that this fellow disciple named Xiao Daren was indeed one year younger than Dugu Yangming. His father is a well-known casual cultivator in the quicksand realm, although he has been worry-free since he was a child, but he has never seen so many fourth-grade and fifth-grade spiritual materials. For a while, I was too excited, and I picked a shallow place to find it. Dugu Yang knew that he would make a mistake, so he didn't hesitate to beat this fellow doorman.

At this moment, Xiao Daren's resentment disappeared early, and his eyes were full of extreme admiration and a touch of anger. Suddenly he said loudly, "Then you don't have to be so ruthless! My face hurts for days." ”

One said: "If this spiritual material falls into the hands of others, don't say that your heart is distressed for the rest of your life, even we have to accompany you." Therefore, your beating is also extremely valuable. ”

Dugu Yangming glanced at this person with disgust and scolded: "Don't pretend. If it weren't for your goddamn quick reaction, I wouldn't have beaten you to death. ”

When they heard this, they burst out laughing.

When Xu Huaiyuan heard this, he said solemnly: "Senior Brother Dugu, in the future, you can't easily start beating the same door." Then he said to everyone: "If you know about the Demon Island, you shouldn't be particularly surprised by this." ”

Xiao Daren snorted, "I know how to cut other people's meat!"

An extremely thin young man said, "To be honest, Senior Brother Yangming, he is really a good person. And, what kind of bad people my grandfather used to say. My grandfather said that there is no one in this world who is better than a good person. I didn't believe that there were evil and good people in this world. It wasn't until I met Senior Brother Yang Ming that I was convinced. ”

As soon as everyone saw Xu Huaiyuan, they were suspicious again, and one of them said the matter that they had just missed again. It turned out that this extremely thin teenager was the one who participated in the "audition" with Dugu Yangming. People of such a background are extremely lacking in their understanding of spiritual materials. Since then, when looking for spiritual materials in Shetoupo, it is still mainly based on first- and second-grade spiritual materials. After Dugu Yangming found out about this, he gathered his fellow disciples together and reprimanded him sternly.

Someone imitated Dugu Yangming's tone, and when he said words such as "the head of this university" and "this big real person", everyone laughed.

Dugu Yangming scolded angrily: "You people with no conscience, how many times have you betrayed me at this moment. I claim to be in charge, can I just say it? It's all pig brains!" Then, he said seriously: "I take a look at the spiritual materials you have picked up, if there is the main material of alchemy, I will exchange my spiritual materials with you." You can give me a word of pleasure, whether it will be okay or not. ”

One of them said, "Yes, you can't be careful!"

In this way, when he returned to Buzhou Mountain, Dugu Yangming carefully checked everyone's spiritual materials, and exchanged some of the main materials used in alchemy, as well as the most important auxiliary materials, with his own spiritual materials. Everyone once again realized that although Dugu Yangming owed something in his mouth, he was too cautious and careful in actually doing things. It is this selection of spiritual materials and exchange of spiritual materials, which is also done reasonably, and everyone admires it very much.

Xianzhou did not stop for any time, until Xu Huaiyuan said: "Senior brothers, junior sisters, we have arrived at Tongtiantai. According to the rules of the sect, the immortal boat cannot go directly up the mountain. So, next, you have to walk up the hill to Zhenwutai. ”

Dugu Yangming asked, "Why do you want to go to Zhenwutai? I passed on this small mountain road, which is much closer to the cave!"

Xu Huaiyuan smiled "hehe" and said in a deep voice: "Actually, several other senior brothers have also encountered some accidents, and we returned to the sect a day earlier. Moreover, every time a disciple who is ordered by the sect to go down the mountain to practice, when he comes back, he must first go to Zhenwutai and sell the collected spiritual materials at the entrance of the four halls. ”

After everyone walked out of the Immortal Boat, Dugu Yangming asked, "Senior Brother Xu, how did you contact Senior Brother Gong and Senior Brother Xian?

Xu Huaiyuan smiled but did not answer, and the sword flew to the top of Buzhou Mountain.

In other words, this avenue of Buzhou Mountain was named Tongtiantai by the patriarch of the Kaipai School. Each step is cut and spliced from the finest seabed jade. From the foot of the mountain to Zhenwutai, there are 129,600 steps. This number also secretly corresponds to the number of heaven and earth.

On both sides of the rooftop, it is overgrown with strange flowers and herbs, and there are bursts of fragrance. The occasional flying spirit bird, chirping a few times, flew towards the sea.

Everyone walks on this path, all of them are reverent, all of them are solemn, and all of them are self-motivated.

Thinking of the patriarch of the Zhenwu Palace, he took the lead, marched forward bravely, fought the demons in the sea, bowed to the essence, worked hard, and laid the foundation for the opening of the school in Buzhou Mountain. In the past, the turbulent scene of the sea crossing, the Tao law vertical and horizontal, and the wave scene of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger seems to be yesterday.

Even if it is a great real person in the Yuan Dan realm and above, walking on this stage, all of them are fascinated and worshipped. What's more, it's a group of teenagers who are not deeply involved in the world. None of them spoke, just walked quietly on this sacred step, remembering the glorious years that the sect had had.
