Volume 1: Abandoned Lands Chapter 29: Rune Starlight
In front of the courtyard, a half-man-sized blue stone tablet stood quietly. It seemed that due to the age, many small cracks had appeared on the stone tablet, like small snakes, winding and twisting, and even some moss appeared in the cracks. Two simple and graceful large characters in the Snake Courtyard were rubbed on it, and the handwriting was a bit mottled.
Kong Laosan glanced a few times, but didn't care too much, so he went forward and knocked on the door.
As a snake courtyard isolated from the entire beast garden, the gate of the courtyard was no different from the ordinary mahogany gate. Shortly after Kong Laosan knocked on the door, the gate of the courtyard was opened with a creaking sound. A man who looked forty or fifty years old had a gloomy temperament all over his body, looked a little old.
This is Uncle Yue? Zhao Hengdao is the new servant disciple!
As Kong Laosan said, he had already taken out the order from his arms and handed it over respectfully. When the man in front of him heard what Kong Laosan said, he did not say a word. His turbid eyes filled with bloodshot were staring straight at Kong Laosan, as if he was a stone man without showing any expression.
Just as Kong Laosan was staring at him, and was surprised and slandered in his heart, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body, as if he had been seen through by the other party. An invisible and qualitative force gently swept through his body towards the soul of the Purple Palace. Kong Laosan was not unfamiliar with this divine power that originated from the soul. At that moment, he only felt his scalp tightening and his heart was nervous for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and there was no strange look on his face.
However, after two breaths, the invisible and intangible power of spiritual thought suddenly disappeared. Uncle Yue, who was originally expressionless, had a rare look of joy flashed across the corner of his eyes, but he quickly returned to his original dead face. He didn't say anything more. He just nodded, waved his hand, and squeezed out a few words dryly from his throat. He was born with a powerful soul like you, which is rare. Practice here in the future and follow me!
As he said that, he walked towards the yard. Seeing this, Kong Laosan stopped moving his hands, and there was no strange color on his face. He followed the man into the yard.
When I saw the scene in the courtyard clearly, Kong Laosan paused, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. When he entered the courtyard, which seemed to be small, he found that it was nearly half a hundred acres. In the center of the courtyard, there was a stone mountain of more than 30 feet standing in it. At the same time, a fishy smell came towards him. When he looked carefully, he saw countless pits on the stone mountain. There were some blood-crowned snakes crept in and out of it. This scene was really terrifying.
The entire yard is divided into two layers inside and outside, with a fence in the middle, which seems to be blocked by some kind of formation, and the scene in the inner yard cannot be seen clearly.
There are free rooms there, you can choose any room or live in a wooden house outside the yard. There are not many rules in our snake courtyard. I have recorded the method of raising blood-crown snakes in this booklet. If you have time, you can read it yourself.
After briefly explaining, he was about to go to the backyard. Seeing this, Kong Laosan's brows moved and was about to say something, the man turned around and added, "If there is nothing wrong, don't disturb me!"
Uncle Yue, isn’t our snake courtyard specializing in taking care of the blood-crowned snake and handling the corpses of the blood-crowned snake?
Kong Laosan asked in confusion.
Upon hearing this, the uncle Yue stopped. Our Snake Academy does not have so many rules. If you can do it, you can be responsible for all of these!
As he said that, before Kong Laosan could speak again, he turned around and entered the inner courtyard.
Seeing this, Kong Laosan was a little confused, but he didn't say anything else. Uncle Yue was in front of him and he should not say anything more. Before he became familiar with the other party, he should not say more.
Along the stone mountain, there was a row of wooden houses, and the decoration inside was simple. There was nothing else except a bed, a table, a chair, a kettle, a cup, and a cup. Kong Laosan found a house and lived there casually, and then began the booklet given by Uncle Yue. It was full of some habits and breeding methods of blood-crown snakes, which were recorded in detail. With this booklet, even people who do not understand snake nature can raise them properly. It seems that they don’t have to worry about anything.
The blood-crowned snake is different from the ordinary grass snakes in the secular world. It belongs to the same spiritual beasts. Most of the blood-crowned snakes raised in the snake courtyard are first and second-level spirit beasts, and a small number of about a dozen belongs to the category of third-level spirit beasts.
In the next period of time, Kong Laosan was completely engaged in the task of raising snakes, and began to learn from the living habits of these blood-crowned snakes one by one. However, what surprised Kong Laosan was that the feed of these blood-crowned snakes was actually some other spirit beast corpses transported from other spirit beast yards. Some of these corpses had been dried up, while others had just died. This scene made Kong Laosan very happy.
Originally, Kong Lao San thought of secretly killing several blood-crowned snakes after he got to know this place, but he didn't expect that before he took action, someone had already brought the benefits to the door.
Looking at the corpses of the spirit beasts in front of him, Kong Laosan felt a little emotional. The spirit-eating rat, yellow horned beast, iron-backed wolf, and ferocious flame birds were all there, and even some ordinary birds and beasts in the world were among them. Many of them had been dead for a long time, but about three or four of them seemed to have just died, and even the wounds were still bleeding.
Kong Laosan did not hesitate. When he saw the gate of the inner courtyard was closed, he carried one of the iron-backed wolves who had just died into his wooden house.
After looking carefully in the inner courtyard, he made sure that Uncle Yue would not appear suddenly, Kong Laosan closed the wooden door tightly, the wooden windows around him were completely closed, and another piece of talisman paper was taken out, and gently rubbed it. A faint wave suddenly appeared around the wooden house, and then disappeared without a trace.
After doing this, Kong Laosan breathed a light sigh and looked at the iron-backed wolf lying on the ground with fresh blood on the wound. Kong Laosan sat quietly in front of him, his eyes closed, his face a little serious, as if he was carefully sensing something.
After half a cup of tea, a green light as big as a mung bean suddenly lit up between Kong Laosan's eyebrows. Then, countless dark green spots of sesame size sprayed out from the center of Zifu's eyebrows, as if they were pulled by some kind of force, and they were penetrated into their body from the wound of the iron-backed wolf.
These light spots are extremely strange, each with extremely spirituality, and seem to be completely condensed from strange runes, like nebula, bright and destructive, and extremely mysterious.
With just a few breaths, these dark green starlight runes floated out from the body of the Iron-Back Wolf and returned to silence until Kong Laosan's eyebrows disappeared. However, the originally pure dark green runes were mixed with some gray runes that looked like transparent color. There were not many, only less than a hundred, mixed in the huge dark green nebula.
After an hour, Kong Laosan slowly opened his eyes, and a little gray light came out from the depths of his eyes, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Feeling the purple palace between his eyebrows that had been much stronger than before, Kong Laosan couldn't help but sigh softly. Not only did he feel the slightest joy on his face, but he felt a little melancholy.
When he died in his previous life, these mysterious rune starlights brought his soul through the cycle of reincarnation and came to this world. Later, after occasionally discovering that these rune starlights can devour the beast soul and enhance his soul, Kong Laosan realized the extraordinaryness of these rune starlights and buried it in his heart as the biggest secret. In a foreign land, perhaps only these rune starlights have the same memory as himself.
Perhaps it is precisely because of these rune starlight that from the beginning, domestic livestock to the current immortal spirit beasts, Kong Laosan's soul has been much stronger than ordinary people for five years. The realm of the third level of Qi refining has condensed its spiritual consciousness and generated divine thoughts like those cultivators at the seventh level of Qi refining.
After gathering his mind, Kong Laosan did not dare to stay away. After leaving the house, he cleaned the body of the iron-backed wolf.
The blood-crowned snake is an omnivorous spirit beast. In addition to devouring the corpses of other spirit beasts every day, it also needs to drink some special spiritual water made from stone mushrooms to increase its spiritual power.
At the beginning, Kong Laosan was unable to do the trick. Every time he stepped into a three-foot distance around Snake Mountain, the blood-crowned snakes wandering around Snake Mountain would attack Kong Laosan. Later, after applying some powder dried and ground into the blood-crowned snake on his body, this situation was completely avoided, and Kong Laosan could also get close to these blood-crowned snakes.
There are about 300 blood-crowned snakes in the entire Snake Mountain, and the daily consumption is huge, so there is no need to worry about the corpse of the spirit beast. It is just another thing that makes Kong Laosan happy and worried. At the beginning, the senior brother Yue came out of the inner courtyard every day to guide Kong Laosan to take care of the blood-crowned snake. Later, after confirming that Kong Laosan was able to do this chore alone, it never happened again, and everything was completely handed over to Kong Laosan.
On the one hand, Kong Laosan was very happy that he could boldly collect the soul of the spirit beast. On the other hand, he took care of the spirit snake every day and allocated the spirit water also made Kong Laosan spend most of his time, and the time spent on meditation and practicing Qi was invisibly shortened, and Kong Laosan was also helpless about this.
In this way, Kong Laosan was completely settled in the snake courtyard. He raised snakes every day to meditate, and lived a free and easy life. Since the uncle Yue, who had not even shown his side for one or two months, has become more mysterious and mysterious since Kong Laosan took over the snake courtyard, he has almost never appeared in front of others. Even the number of times Kong Laosan saw this uncle gradually decreased, and he had only seen it once or twice in half a year. Kong Laosan was a little confused about this, but he did not deliberately inquire about anything.
The two of them belong to the same snake courtyard, and they are divided into inside and outside, but they have seen each other for a few times. I am afraid that no one will believe it if they say it out.
At the end of each month, Kong Laosan would go down the mountain to attend the Dharma Hall to attend the lectures. The person who taught to outer disciples such as Kong Laosan who were mainly based on the spiritual roots of wood was one of the twenty true disciples of Qingling Sect, a female cultivator called Gu Lingyan.
This uncle Gu is so famous in the entire Qingling Sect that he almost surpasses Yun Tianqi, the most outstanding true disciple of Qingling Sect. The reason why he is so famous is not because of his true disciple, nor because of his deep cultivation strength, but because of his natural baby face.
Generally speaking, the specific age of the cultivator alone cannot be determined. As his cultivation level improves, the aging of his appearance will be greatly delayed, and some people with advanced cultivation will even rejuvenate. However, it is rare for cultivators like Gu Lingyan who always looks like a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.
It is said that when he first came to teach, many outer disciples treated Uncle Gu as an ordinary outer disciple. They even looked pretty and charming, and came forward to chat with him without knowing how to deal with him. In the end, without exception, they were all severely taught by Uncle Gu and made a lot of jokes.
