Chapter 2: The Snake
Chen Yuan carefully recalled the picture he saw when he was seriously ill, it was chaotic and irregular.
There are pictures of monks cultivating and training, strange and exotic places, strange four-wheeled iron cars, tall glazed buildings, chaotic battle pictures, people and demons, and boxes that will play pictures......
There are all kinds of strange and bizarre lights, saying that they are too sick to see the illusion, but they are not reasonable. Because every picture is very clear, sometimes Chen Yuan still has an immersive feeling.
It is said that it is someone else's memory, but it seems too confusing. Because it's not the perspective that one person sees.
The only thing that Chen Yuan remembered very clearly was that he followed the illusion and kept chasing a jade tablet.
When he got the jade stele, his mind cleared up, the illusion disappeared, and the half-moon was entangled, and the useless body of the medical stone suddenly recovered.
But now it seems that the root cause of the serious illness has not been eradicated, and it has affected cultivation.
And if the mind is affected, it must be cured with tranquilizers. With Chen Yuan's financial resources, he couldn't afford to buy the tranquilizer, and since a month ago, he helped a few friends in the manor who couldn't pay contribution points to speak, and Bai Xiaozhuang's attitude towards him has been obviously excluded.
Originally, Chen Yuan planned to leave Baixiaozhuang at the beginning of the month, but he didn't expect a serious illness to delay, and now the next round of demon tide is about to break out, so he has to hide in Baixiaozhuang to survive this demon tide.
The demon tide is a nightmare for every monk.
Legend has it that in ancient times, monsters were rampant in the world, and they could not be killed. Human beings comprehend the heavens, the earth and the stars, create their own formations, transform the terrain with human power, combine the celestial phenomena, integrate the five elements of wind and thunder, and form a magic circle for self-protection.
Human beings rely on the mystery of the formation, successfully resisted countless demon beast sieges, after a great war, the demon beast master suffered heavy losses, the human powerhouse formed an alliance, counterattacked in one fell swoop, and hit the ten thousand demon space. With the supernatural power against the sky, the ten thousand demon space was split into countless small spaces, scattered in the world, and no longer able to form a large demon tide.
Later, the human race began to expand, and among them, the alchemists who mastered the refining array formed the formation, and they began to establish the city country through the spatial power of the ten thousand demon space they had ingested, combined with the mysteries of the formation.
With the change of the times, small castles were built around the big castles, castles were built in the small castles, and manors were opened up in the area near the castles, and the large castles became the imperial palace and formed a human state.
Although the demon beasts are divided into countless spaces, all over the human world, although they cannot converge again, but the natural demon nature is not lost, and at the same time, in order to rebuild the ten thousand demon space, every once in a while, one month or half a year, the demon beasts scattered throughout the human world will pour out of the nest and besiege the villages, forts, cities, and mansions built by humans.
In the dark, it seems that some kind of providential rule has been formed, on the day of the demon tide, the more advanced the human city and bunker, because the more energy gathered, the more powerful and more demon beasts will come to attack.
While resisting the demon tide, human beings also rely on formations to hunt demon beasts, so as to obtain a large number of demon beast spars, which can be described as the purest pure energy in heaven and earth, which is of great help to cultivation.
In the midst of the demon tide, a single monk is already difficult to resist. Therefore, most monks will choose to join the city buildings with the protection of the formation. And the refiners who mastered the refining of the formation became the owners of the village, the castle, and the city that everyone embraced......
Chen Yuan was not a formation refiner, just an ordinary casual cultivator. Living in Baixiaozhuang, relying on Baixiaozhuang's formation protection, he has also seen the demon tide several times, and he knows very well the power of the demon tide, even if it is the weakest and least demon beast tide that impacts the manor, it can tear him to pieces in an instant.
Hundreds or thousands of first- and second-order demon beasts, unless they are already monks above the foundation building period, or they have one-time battle array protection, otherwise, if they leave the manor during the demon tide period, there will only be one dead word in the end.
So, even if it's extremely aggrieved now. was shamelessly oppressed by the steward. Chen Yuan could only suppress his anger and continued to stay in Baixiaozhuang with his anger swallowed.
"After this demon tide, I must leave here! Bring Liu Tao and Zhang Sheng with them, the director of Baixiaozhuang is nepotistic, and the spar is cheaper than other manors, he is completely selfish, and he will only oppress the residents and make profits for himself. ”
After stopping his cultivation, Chen Yuan also thought about his future path. However, it is not easy to join other villages as a foreign village, there are a total of seven villages around Jumu Fort, and the population of 100 households accommodated is basically in a full state, if there is not enough strength, other estates may not accept people from other villages.
So, want to move. Chen Yuan still has to strengthen his strength, even if he breaks through the middle stage of cultivation and enters the late stage, it is enough for some manors to absorb it.
Now that normal cultivation is restless, it is rare to make an inch, and Chen Yuan can only take out a piece of fire snake spar from the hemp sac.
"It seems that we can only absorb demon crystals. ”
Coupled with the piece of the monthly payment paid to the steward, Chen Yuan had a total of three second-order demon beast spars, all of which he had saved with the remaining spars after he had paid the monthly payments over the years. He cultivated the fire system 'Three Yang Gathering Divine Fire Gong'.
The name sounds very domineering, but in fact, it is just an inferior exercise, which was passed down by his grandfather who adopted him.
These three second-order fire spars, he planned to keep them until he broke through to the middle stage of cultivation, and after entering the late stage, he absorbed them in one fell swoop and broke through to the qi cultivation stage.
But today, for the sake of the monthly payment, he gave a piece to the steward for nothing, and now there is not much time, in order to improve his strength and strive to break away from Baixiaozhuang, he can find other manors to accept it, and Chen Yuan can only absorb the demon crystal.
Place the hedron flat in your palm and absorb the pure fire aura in the hedron with all your heart.
The pure fire aura entered his body, and Chen Yuan immediately felt the fierce beating of the Sanyang fire in his body, and his heart began to guide him wholeheartedly, transporting the fire aura to the dantian that contained the fire.
But just as the fire spirit qi flowed to the heart, a strange force suddenly arose and sucked the fire spirit qi away.
What's going on?
Chen Yuan was stunned and couldn't open his eyes calmly.
He immediately stopped absorbing it, but the demon crystal in his hand didn't listen to him at all, and actually took the initiative to release the aura and enter Chen Yuan's body.
Wisps of fire aura poured in frantically, and Chen Yuan's entire arm looked extremely red, like a piece of red-hot iron.
And when the fire spirit qi flowed to the heart, the horizontal power was also frantically absorbed, and in less than half a cup of tea, the originally red spar turned gray-white.
Card rub!
With a crisp crack, a second-order fire-based spar completely turned into useless waste slag.
And Chen Yuan could only watch dumbfounded, and his cultivation did not increase at all.
"Whew! I'm finally getting some energy. ”
Just when he had a kind of digging open his heart to see what was wrong with his heart. An old voice sounded in my head.
"Who!" Chen Yuan immediately shouted vigilantly.
"Don't be afraid. I'm not going to hurt you. ”
The voice sounded in his mind again, making Chen Yuan tremble, and his heart was already full of thoughts.
"Am I being taken away by anyone? Am I not going to be blotted out of my soul...... No way... My Chen Yuan's body, hair and skin are all gifts from my parents, how can I let my body be used by others......"
"You, whoever you are, get out of my body, or I'll kill myself, and we'll all burn, and you don't want to occupy my body." Chen Yuan waved his hand, a dagger was already across his neck, his eyes were firm, and he swore to die together.
With the voice in his head, Chen Yuan had no choice but to persuade bitterly:
"You...... It's really impulsive. Don't do anything stupid, I'm just a remnant of a spirit beast, and I can't take you away. ”
Chen Yuan did not relax, but asked, "Who are you? Why did you appear in my body if you didn't take away it?"
"I'm not a human, I'm an ancient spirit beast, the Nine Xuan Divine Snake. ”
Spirit beasts, above the legendary ninth-order demon beasts, are comparable to the existence of the realm of monks and immortals.
"Ancient spirit beast!" Chen Yuan was even more shocked into a cold sweat, and the dagger in his hand did not dare to relax.
"Don't panic first! Why are you so impatient? I'm afraid you won't believe it in a simple explanation, so let's come in and talk about it!"
