Chapter 614 The nine sons of the dragon are all different (6k big chapter)
The cave is deep.
Over time, the underground lake gradually dried up, exposing the river bed underneath.
On the other side of the lake, a man and a sheep were quarreling.
"Hey." The goat looked sideways.
The old Taoist priest was annoyed: "I know you saved me in the lake just now. If you hadn't saved me, I would have been swept away by the lake water. But this is the ninth time you have mentioned it again! I will save you too, old Taoist."
I’ll give you this once, if my sharp eyes hadn’t reminded you that there was a big yellow snake under the water and asked you to be careful, do you think you could still call the ram?”
"Mea."
The old Taoist priest's face was full of disbelief: "What do you mean you have already discovered it. You are just playing with a little earthworm when you are bored on the road. I am still fishing with earthworms."
"Mea."
The old Taoist priest was unconvinced and retorted: "I'm not an old Taoist, I won't open the pot and pick up which pot, it's obviously you who picked up the nine pots in a row."
Listening to the constant bleating in the ears, watching the old Taoist priest and the goat quarreling with red faces, they had successfully landed on the shore. Mr. Yiyun and Qi Bo, who had taken off their gold and jade clothes, had curious expressions on their faces. They both felt that the five internal organs were Taoist temples.
All the people are strange people, even the sheep are strange sheep, they can quarrel with others.
Qi Bo asked with a strange look on his face: "Daozhang Chen, can you talk to sheep?"
The old Taoist priest was confused when asked: "No."
Well.
Qi Bo was even more surprised this time: "Since you can't understand sheep, then how come you, Master Chen...er, can talk freely to this strange sheep raised by Master Jin'an?"
The old Taoist priest replied matter-of-factly: "This sheep is just like a human spirit. I don't even need to understand its words. I only need to look at its eyes and expressions to know what it is saying. For example, when it looks at me sideways,
Nothing good will happen for sure."
"..."
It turned out that he was talking to himself.
But the two of them always felt that something was wrong.
If sheep can't understand people, and people can't understand sheep, why don't they always feel that there's nothing wrong with the quarrel between a man and a sheep in front of them. The old Taoist priest's face turned red and the goat's quarreled so much that white smoke came out of his nostrils.
It's really strange.
Fortunately, just when one person and one goat were about to go from quarreling to getting physical, Jin An successfully found them and joined them. The eyes of the old Taoist priest and the goat were instantly attracted by the dragon ball that Jin An carried back.
Forgot.
"Okay, what a big dragon ball!"
"I didn't think it was big from a distance when I was standing on the shore. But if you look at it up close, it's too big... This is not a dragon ball. It's a stolen Dragon King's egg!"
The old Taoist priest was speechless.
The dragon head of the golden dragon ball is as big as a mountain. You can imagine how big this dragon ball is. Carrying Jin An on his head is like running with a large water tank twice the size.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's quickly find a place to carve it up together. This thing fell out of the 猰粐's mouth and a small crack appeared. There was a dragon spirit, dragon energy, and dragon spirit running out. I just used the magic talisman temporarily.
Spirituality seals the cracks, but it won't last long." Jin An said quickly without having time to reminisce about the past.
Mr. Yiyun and the others went ashore first and had already explored the nearby terrain beforehand. The four of them and one sheep finally found an inconspicuous crevice in the cliff to hide in. The gold and jade clothes they took off after landing were also hidden here.
When Jin An opened the water talisman of Erlang Zhenjun, which had been sealed four times, the fragrant life essence leaked out along a small crack as wide as the width of a fingertip. The old Taoist priest only took a sip and became energetic and rosy.
His eyes were bright and bright, as wide as copper bells, as if they were glowing with a second spring.
The goat on the side has been following Jin An for so long, and his eyes and taste have long been spoiled by Jin An. It can tell at a glance that this dragon ball is a good thing, and it can't wait to stick out its tongue to lick the dragon ball.
How about talking about sheep licking salt bricks?
Regardless of the origin of this dragon ball, it was a rare treasure. Jin An just punched it open as if he wanted to eat a snake egg.

The cracks in the dragon ball expanded, and three rays of clear light rushed out. They were the first rays of clear light in the world when the world was in chaos. Only with this ray of clear air could the clear air rise and turn into the sun, and the turbid air sink and turn into dirty earth.
Only when qi is divided into yin and yang can yin and yang appear in order.
Those three rays of clear light condensed into three golden shadows, which were so bright and frightening that they raised their heads and roared. This time, they were no longer cries of babies. They were extremely ferocious and wanted to eat people.
The old Taoist priest was surprised: "Why do these three golden frogs have different cries from the big yellow snakes I encountered in the lake before? Could it be that there are already signs of dragon transformation and they are about to appear as real dragons?"
But as soon as they saw Mr. Yiyun, they seemed to have seen something scary, so they turned around and ran away.
"Where to escape!" Jin An took out the water talisman of Erlang Zhenjun, which was awarded four times, and posted it on the cliff.
Since this catfish only grows in weak water, it is still within the jurisdiction of Erlang Zhenjun's Imperial Water Talisman. It was based on this consideration that Jin'an used Erlang Zhenjun's Imperial Water Talisman to block the cracks in the dragon ball.
This time he was right again.
The phantoms of the three golden dragons couldn't escape, and finally fell back into the dragon ball due to exhaustion, turning into dust-free dragon liquid, with streaks of auspicious energy, exuding the astonishing dragon essence, dragon energy, and dragon spirit nature.
But this is a dragon ball that is about to dry up. There is not much fluid left in the dragon ball.
Worried about the spiritual escape, the four people and one sheep quickly divided the spoils. Only the old Taoist priest suffered the most. He was so weak that he could not stand the nosebleeds after only half a sip. If he drank any more, his spiritual energy would explode and his body would die.
When he thought that the sheep were stronger than him and that he alone was not as good as a sheep, the old Taoist priest beat his chest with regret. If he had known this, he would have put more effort into practice in his early years. Maybe he could take another sip today.
This dragon liquid contains a huge amount of spirituality and life essence, which is a great tonic for heaven and earth. After drinking the dragon liquid, the four of them began to raise their hearts to the sky and calmly digest what they had gained this time.
Even the goat fell asleep like a drunken man.
Jin'an has the Immortal Temple of the Five Internal Organs to carry the energy of life together. His digestion speed is much faster than that of other people. The five internal organs resonate like a thunderous strike, like the sun fire tempering the internal organs. The Immortal Temple of the Five Internal Organs is filled with an endless stream of pounding energy.
The vitality spreads to the limbs and bones, making it warm and comfortable.
Jin An had an illusion that he was going to become an immortal and break into the void... But at the critical moment, his body was like a shackle. He was pulled hard and he fell heavily to the ground, and he suddenly woke up.
The moment he opened his eyes, a beam of light shot out, his ears and eyes were sharp, his eyes could see further in the dark, his ears could hear details further away, his heart was beating powerfully, and every beat burst out more vigorously.
of vitality.
The heart begets the spleen, the spleen begets the lungs, the lungs beget the kidneys, the kidneys beget the liver, and the liver begets the heart.
When the heart and lungs are strong, other organs will also grow stronger. The temple of the five internal organs will give birth to more vitality, nourish the soul, and strengthen the body.
Less than a month after his last breakthrough, he broke through again!
Late stage of the second realm!
And we are only one step away from the Great Consummation in the later stage!
Jin An was happy at first, then frowned, and finally, his eyes were fixed on the dragon ball shell on the side.
At this time, several people were still in a state of confusion and had not yet woken up.
The first one to wake up was Qi Bo. As soon as he opened his eyes, his face was full of surprise.
The next person to wake up was Mr. Yiyun. His beautiful eyes were wide open, his big eyes were lively, his small red mouth was slightly opened in surprise, and then he burst into laughter, which was bright, brilliant and shocking.
The last one to wake up was the old Taoist priest. His body was shaken and he jumped up in surprise: "Little brother, what are you doing!"
Jin An continued to concentrate on eating without raising his head: "Swallowing gold fossils, we can't waste all the treasures of heaven and earth."
The old Taoist priest was shocked again. His eyes were one big and one small. Then he asked curiously: "Little brother, what does the dragon ball taste like?"
Jin An thought for a while and said seriously: "It should be as crispy as rice crackers."
The greedy old Taoist priest stepped forward to take a bite, but he covered his mouth and cried out in pain. The thing was as hard as a rock and almost broke his old teeth.
"Sure enough, when you are young, you still have a tough mouth and like to eat hard food." There is something in the old Taoist priest's words.
Nuo Da's dragon ball shell was eaten by Jin An alone, but his stomach was not bloated at all. Now his internal organs are strong and he can swallow gold fossils and digest them into spiritual medicine, while useless impurities turn into turbid gas and disperse along his pores.
At this time, both Master Yiyun and Qi Bo saw that Jin An had made great progress again, so they came up to congratulate Jin An, and then asked Jin An about what happened after they separated.
The team talked as they walked and continued on their way. At this time, the goat had also woken up. When they heard that there was flesh and blood in the golden body of the wild animal, several people looked thoughtful.
Qi Bo: "Is it possible that there is no West Queen Mother's Palace here, but a vicious place left by our ancestors in ancient times, so there is poisonous miasma and yellow snakes are raised with giant-bellied ice corpses?"
Jin An: "I think the people who built this ruins didn't want to kill us at first, because of the gold, the sacred jade tree, and the procession of jade figurines who worshiped the jade tree."
"On the way to find you, I also thought about what was going on underground, and then I thought of a detail... We encountered a poisonous miasma, and then escaped back to the ruins of the underground city to survive. This was the first time that the other party had
Showing mercy is also a warning to us; but we put on the golden jade clothes and went down to the lake again, and the golden miasma turned into red miasma. This was the second warning; but we continued to climb the dragon's head, causing the golden miasma to collapse, thus revealing the
The hole in the middle of the lake was blocked and turned into a lake of man-eating ghosts."
"The reason why I have this conjecture is because I thought of the many golden mountains, golden paint, and jade cities I saw along the way. These are all tools used by the righteous to suppress demons and exorcise evil spirits. Even the 茰貐 was used in ancient times.
A kind god who lost his mind after death and turned into a man-eating beast."
"But there is one thing I still can't figure out. I saw the Feng Shui topography here. This is the Dragon Vein True Cave. Logically speaking, this should not be a place to suppress demons and exorcise evil spirits. Could it be that those Jinshan and Jade City are used for
It’s used to prevent external evil spirits, because there is really a divine tomb buried here, and you don’t want the divine remains to be disturbed?”
Jin An told the old Taoist priest about the Feng Shui pattern he saw when crossing the snow-capped mountains, as well as some guesses.
After hearing this, the old Taoist priest looked solemn and said: "Little brother, you only know one, but you don't know the other."
"I also know that with my little knowledge as a beginner, I'm just doing my best in front of you, a veteran. If you, a veteran, have anything to say, it's okay." Jin An humbly asked for advice.
Everyone has their own strengths.
He is worse than the old Taoist priest in slaying demons, but in terms of Feng Shui, metaphysics and human sophistication.
The old Taoist priest twisted his beard and looked at Jin An with a smile: "Little brother, you are too self-effacing. Feng shui physiognomy is accumulated over many years. You can't take shortcuts without relying on the treasures of heaven and earth. You can't take shortcuts without relying on panacea. Little brother, you are not as pure as the leader.
I am self-taught and my time is still short. Being able to see so many terrains and veins is already a gift."
The old Taoist priest first praised Jin'an, and then talked about what he had seen and learned with a slightly solemn expression: "'If there are mountains but no water, don't look for land.' 'The method of Feng Shui is to obtain water first, and to hide the wind second.' These two sentences
The old saying is indeed true. It is best to have living water flowing near mountains. If there is no open river, there is also an underground river. As long as there is living water, it can bring endless vitality and reconcile yin and yang. But what if, in this mountain?
The underground river is a ferocious place that can eat people. You can't get in or out. So this river is not the Yang water that can bring life, but the Yellow spring water that can trap people's souls. It is a dilemma. Little brother, you didn't say it at the beginning.
Yes, those gold and jade are indeed used to suppress demons, to suppress a big demon in the sealed mountain."
"Mountain God! The Four Symbols Bureau of Ending Heaven and Earth!" Jin An blurted out without thinking.
Yes, the Kunlun Mountains are the home of the gods, and only such a unique sacred land can suppress a mountain god or be used to arrange the overall situation of the world.
Did the Ghost Mother take such a long detour just to guide him to the Kunlun Mountains to kill the mountain god or to secretly point out the location of another Four Symbols Bureau?
But when they encountered another strange thing, Jin An again doubted whether there was something wrong with his guess. After passing through several dangerous places without any danger, they passed through a hot spring and came to a place with more open terrain.
A huge forest of stone pillars.
Along the way, they saw a large number of recently deceased people.
Those stone pillars are each huge, standing high up in the sky, reaching deep into the dark shadow above the head, like a tall standing stone monument. Each stone pillar is surrounded by a relief beast.
"This is the dragon species born from the reproduction of dragons, dragons and snakes..."
"This is the birth of Zhupolong, dragon and dragon..."
"This is a flying dragon, born from a dragon and a centipede..."
"This is a dragon, born from a dragon and a chicken..."
"This is Ram, born of a dragon and a pig..."
"Are these stone monuments tombstones? Is this a dragon tomb where the sons and grandsons of dragons are buried?" The old Taoist priest recognized a kind of dragon every time he walked past a stone pillar, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"The nine sons of the dragon are different. When crossed with a horse, a dragon will be born. When crossed with a crane, a phoenix will be born. When crossed with an eagle, a roc will be born. When crossed with a wild boar, a wild boar will be born. When crossed with a snake, a dragon will be born. When crossed with a dragon, a flying dragon will be born. When crossed with a centipede, a flying dragon will be born.
Cross with a bear and give birth to a brave animal; cross with a leopard and give birth to a kiss; cross with a whale and give birth to a mirage..."
"Ahem." Jin An saw that the old Taoist priest couldn't stop the car and wanted to continue talking. He quickly coughed and reminded him that in addition to a few old and young men, there was also a Huanghua girl's family here.
The old Taoist priest also reacted and said with a smile: "People tend to talk a lot when they are old. Just listen to a folk tale and don't take it seriously. Don't take it seriously."
Well, the silly sheep pushed the old Taoist priest's back from behind. It was listening with interest just now, why did it suddenly stop talking?
The old Taoist priest turned his lips to Jin An and Mr. Yiyun, who were walking side by side.
Mr. Yiyun, who was walking with Jin An, said calmly and generously: "Why did Master Chen suddenly stop talking? I am also curious about how many kinds of dragons and dragons the dragon has given birth to. As expected, Master Jin An was right. Follow Master Chen
You can always gain a lot of knowledge.”
Jin An quickly changed the subject: "No matter how many dragons and grandsons there are, looking at the situation in front of us, we seemed to have guessed wrong before. This is neither the tomb of the gods nor the mountain gods, nor the Four Symbols Bureau of Ending Heaven and Earth, but a
Dragon Tomb, what is sealed here should be a big demonic dragon, and we should become dragon-slaying warriors next, right?"
Jin An's words really reminded the old Taoist priest, and he remembered one thing: "Old Taoist, during the more than half a year I was in Tubo, I heard many tantric monks singing some epic legends, including gods and demons, such as the Holy Spirit.
The devil Zan is sealed under the lake, and the devil Rakshasa is suppressed under the snow-capped mountains. One of the epic poems sung the ending of a divine dragon and a demon dragon... He knows scriptures, history, calligraphy and painting, medical skills, divination and other skills, heals the wounded and teaches people.
The good dragon lives in Shambhala. The cruel killing will only bring disaster, destruction, avalanche, plague and storm, which is another tragic ending. It is sealed in the deepest part of hell where no one can reach, and it lives day by day.
I endure the burning pain of hell fire every night, and my soul cannot find peace even after death."
This epic poem is relatively long to be sung, and the old Taoist priest will explain it in detail to everyone along the way.
This dragon tomb is very large. Jin An and the others walked for almost a long time before they walked out of the dragon tomb. When the view widened, they were already in another cave world. At the end of the view was the ruins of an endless group of ancient buildings. The ancient palaces were as tall as mountains.
Magnificent, all built around a huge dead ancient tree.
Although the branches and leaves of the ancient tree have withered, the tree itself is already towering, covering the sky and the earth, and is astonishingly like a sacred tree.
"For such a big tree, it must be tens of thousands of years? Hundreds of thousands of years? If it really had to live for such a long time, the tree would have already become a spirit!" The old Taoist priest stared blankly for a long time. When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but wonder.
It's amazing.
"Little brother, do you think the sacred tree of heaven and earth at the end of heaven and earth is the tree growing beside the weak water in Kunlun Mountain that only exists in ancient mythology?"
After saying this, even the old Taoist priest himself was shocked by his words, because his conjecture was so bold.
Jianmu is the channel that communicates between heaven, earth and people. It can lead directly to the heaven and connect the gods to heaven.
The meaning behind this cannot be summed up in a few words: it is related to various legends about becoming gods and immortals.
Jin An looked very far away and saw a lot of people moving around in the ruins of the ancient ruins. He thought for a moment and took the lead and walked in front: "Whether it is Jianmu or not, let's go down and have a look."
He had made a rough calculation before. They were delayed for one day in order to digest the dragon beads. This day would be enough for the large troops who were several steps behind them to catch up with their progress.
…
The location where Jin'an and the others are now is a high cliff, very high from the ground. After walking for a long time, they finally got down to the ground. A large rice field was opened outside the ruins of the ancient ruins, but what was grown in the rice fields was not ordinary rice.
, but a flawless jade rice that is three to four feet wide.
Each one is wonderful and pretty.
Confuse the real with the fake.
"With such a big rice, regardless of whether it is true or not, one grain of rice can kill me, a Taoist. If you use it to eat, just one grain of rice is enough for a few of us in the Five Zang Taoist Temple to hold and chew for a day. Tsk tsk, it is said to be for the ancients.
It is better to say that what is eaten by the people is eaten by others." The old Taoist clicked his tongue in wonder.
Just don't say it.
What the old Taoist said is really possible.
It is possible that these huge palaces in front of us are really for the dragons, dragons and grandsons outside, and these dragon rice are also for those dragons, dragons and grandsons to eat.
There are already legends about the Kunlun mythology, such as 猰貐, weak water, jianmu, jade tree, immortal tree, and huge rice, and these almost all appear in the same place and grow together.
Jin An and the others had a very clear purpose, which was to go straight to the sacred tree of heaven and earth at the end of the world. Apart from marveling at the ruins of the grand ancient palaces along the way, they did not stop to look for treasures.
As soon as they arrived near the sacred tree of heaven and earth, they heard mournful cries. When they finally got closer, they discovered that it was the tantric monks who were mourning and crying.
The people from the five major tribes on the plateau also stood aside in silence, and the atmosphere seemed sad and heavy.
On the contrary, the people from the Western Regions, Western Tianzhu, and Southern Barbarians kept circling the sacred trees of heaven and earth looking at them, with no sadness on their faces.
It turned out that these tantric monks finally found several missing sages, but these sages all passed away under the trees. However, because of the profound Dharma of these sages, even though they had passed away for a year, their physical bodies were still intact.
On the huge tree trunks behind the venerables, there were several symbols written in golden blood. Jin An quietly asked Mr. Yiyun what they meant.
Mr. Yiyun: "Those were the last words of several venerables before their death. They only contained the simple word 'go back'."
Jin An lowered his head and thought.
Next, the tantric monks began to circle around spontaneously, praying for blessings and salvation for several sages, and the old Taoist priests also joined them.
During this period, Jin An also imitated others in sizing up the dead sacred tree of heaven and earth. This sacred tree was so huge that even though it was dead, it still had a vast and ancient feel, giving people a majestic and ancient atmosphere.
He noticed that there was a mural on the trunk of the ancient tree, and the mural actually mentioned what was at the end of the sacred tree!
Jin An hurriedly watched attentively.
The mural mentions that climbing along the sacred tree to the end of the sky will lead to another world, where there are five snow-capped mountains that look like triangles. This road to the sky has been sealed, and mortals will never be able to climb it unless the sky collapses and the earth breaks apart.
"Could the end of this sacred tree be the legendary Shambhala?"
