Chapter 334: Ferocious beasts come out of the mountains
If the sky is not in season, the sun and moon will have no light. If the earth is not in season, vegetation will not grow. If water is not in season, the waves will not be still. If people are not in season, their destiny will be blocked. If there are no fundamental eight characters, how can I be your prime minister?
It's all up to fate, not up to anyone.
——Excerpt from "Han Kiln Ode" by Lu Mengzheng (Song Dynasty)
…
King Yong Li Lin smashed the Ghost Boundary Monument into pieces and threw it into the bottom of the Nether Valley. The bottom of the valley was silent and there was no reaction.
Yong Wang Li Lin laughed loudly and said: "As expected by this king, they are all tricks to fool peasant women. Don't waste time, summon the enlightened beast as soon as possible."
Yang Yichan felt uneasy, but now that the matter was over, there was no other way. Yang Yichan walked to the edge of the cliff, sat down cross-legged, and prepared to cast a spell.
For a moment, Yang Yichan was in a trance. He was insulted that day, had no love in his life, and was desperate. He gritted his teeth, rushed to the ghost swearing platform, and jumped off the cliff to commit suicide.
She revisited her old place and reappeared yesterday. She seemed to see the scene that day: a young senior brother, risking his own life to save someone.
The white complexion is like a ray of light, dispelling the cold winter and illuminating the eternal night.
"If it weren't for Senior Brother Fu, you would have been buried at the bottom of the cliff long ago. How could you be rich and wealthy today?!" A voice jumped out from the bottom of his heart, questioning himself. Yang Yichan was ashamed and ashamed, and did not dare to face it.
This is the abyss in her heart. No matter how prominent she is today or how she excuses her actions, she cannot deceive herself. Sooner or later she will be swallowed by this abyss.
Yang Yichan took a deep breath and suppressed her guilt.
Yang Yichan took off the python bead hanging around her neck. The python bead was as bright as the moon and emitted a faint halo. Yang Yichan concentrated her mind and poured her thoughts into the python bead to call the enlightened beast.
Suddenly, a huge roar of a wild beast was heard, and a huge tiger soared on the rock wall like a cloud and mist, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed up the cliff of the Ghost Platform.
This tiger is four or five times larger than the ordinary eye-catching tiger. The tiger's neck has red mane like a short halberd. There are eight heads hidden in the mane. The tiger head has a human face, majestic and unruly, looking down on the world - it's true.
It is the enlightened beast that protects the mountain in Qingcheng Mountain.
Seeing Yang Yichan and others, the Enlightened Beast raised its head and roared loudly, shaking the world.
When King Yong and others saw how powerful the enlightened beast was, they trembled and hid far away behind the rocks, not daring to get close.
Yang Yichan approached the enlightened beast lightly, restraining the fear in his heart and forcing a smile. Yang Yichan said: "Senior, do you still remember me? A few years ago, you were the one who sent us away from the bottom of the Netherworld Valley.
Returning to the Ghost Platform."
The enlightened beast approached Yang Yichan, its copper bell-like tiger eyes glowed with green light, and the thick breath from the tiger's mouth hit his nostrils. After the enlightened beast sniffed Yang Yichan, it let out a roar, which shocked Yang Yichan to the point of almost deafening her ears.
.
Yang Yichan was so frightened that she quickly took out the python bead and said, "Have you forgotten? It was my senior brother Fu who helped you kill the two-headed python and saved your life!"
When the enlightened beast saw the python, its eyes immediately softened as if it were an old friend. It raised its head and looked around at King Yong and the others, as if looking for Bai Fu.
Yang Yichan smiled and said: "Senior Brother Fu ordered me to come to you, and asked senior to take me to the cave behind the waterfall to look for the Sunda Cauldron." After saying that, Yang Yichan made a gesture like a bronze cauldron.
Kaiming Beast nodded and gestured with his tiger claws.
Yang Yichan smiled and said: "You mean gold and red python scales? They transformed into two dragon-patterned rings and put them on Senior Brother Fu's hands. I came in a hurry this time and didn't have time to take them off."
The enlightened beast narrowed its eyes and brought its head close to Yang Yichan. It touched Yang Yichan's forehead with a tiger head hidden in its mane.
Yang Yichan felt like a thorn in his back, and his heart was beating with fear, fearing that the enlightened beast would see through something.
In less than a stick of incense, Kaiming Beast left Yang Yichan and walked directly to the hiding place of Yong Wang Li Lin and others. He roared and stared at everyone. Yong Wang and others trembled, and they could almost hear the sound of teeth chattering.
Kaiming Beast let go of everyone and walked towards Yang Yichan again. He stretched out his neck, snatched the python bead from Yang Yichan's hand, held it in his mouth, and walked straight to the edge of the cliff.
The enlightened beast turned its head, looked at everyone with contempt, and let out a deafening roar.
The enlightened beast jumped up and ran down the canyon, disappearing among the mountains in an instant like the tide receding.
…
Seeing the enlightened beast leaving, Yongwang Li Lin let out a long sigh of relief, walked to Yang Yichan, and said: "Your method didn't work. Not only did you not find the whereabouts of the Xunding, but you also lost the python bead. If you had known it was so unreliable,
I shouldn’t have come to Yizhou.”
Before he finished speaking, there was a "click" in the sky above his head, and a thunderbolt exploded in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the mountain wind blew violently, and groups of dark clouds quickly rose from the Netherworld Valley, covering the entire mountain in an instant. The sky instantly turned dark, turning from day to night.
Immediately afterwards, strong winds raged, lightning thundered, and heavy rain poured down. King Yong and others hurriedly hid in a small cave under the Ghost Oath Platform to take shelter from the rain.
Amidst the sound of wind and rain, waves of dull drumbeats came from far away. Everyone looked at each other, wondering what would happen next. Someone in the guard hurried to the ground. After listening for a while, they suddenly jumped up and shouted in a hoarse voice: "No!"
I saw a few white-headed horses with tiger stripes on their bodies and red tails, rushing up to the Ghost Oath Platform in groups. It was Lu Shu.
After Lu Shu ran away, several small beasts emerged from the bushes. They looked like foxes but had fish fins. They were the red deer that foreshadowed bad omens.
The few small beasts following Zhu Ni looked like hedgehogs, and their whole bodies were red like flames, which represented the ferocity of the great plague.
A beast that looked like an ox also ran up the cliff. This beast had a huge white head with two long, four short and six horns. There was only one red eye in the middle of the forehead, and there was a snake tail behind it. It was the legendary symbol of withering.
and the plague.
…
A gust of fishy wind blew in the face, and a huge Gu eagle with horns on its head flew out from above the Ghost Oath Platform, making the sound of a crying baby, and headed straight towards the cave where King Yong and others were hiding.
The guardsmen were shocked and hurriedly raised their bows and drew their swords. Without waiting for anyone to react, the Gu Eagle dived fiercely and grabbed one of the guardsmen with its claws. It spread its wings and flew into the air.
The soldier was in pain, and he kicked and kicked him in mid-air, struggling for his life. The Gu Eagle's claws were strong and powerful, he opened his beak, and pecked the soldier's eyes twice, and then violently tore the man's abdomen.
Blood flowed from his abdomen, his internal organs flowed out of his abdomen, dripping from the air, he twitched a few times, and slumped to death.
While the Gu Eagle flew high, it probed into the bodyguard's belly and swallowed the man's heart, liver and internal organs.
The scene was bloody and cruel. Yang Yichan felt nauseated and couldn't bear it any longer. She vomited out with a "wow" sound. Yongwang Li Lin thought the vomit was dirty and stuck his head out of the cave for some air.
I saw a dark brown monster appearing above the Ghost Oath Platform. It was shaped like a tiger and leopard, with sharp claws, a pair of white wings on its back, orange eyes, and its bones were turning non-stop. It was the four evil spirits in ancient times.
Qiongqi, one of the beasts.
Yang Yichan was shocked and dragged Yong Wang Li Lin back to the cave.
Qiongqi was as fast as the wind, like a hurricane passing over the grass. He jumped up and ran down from the top of the rock wall, knocking down the two guards guarding the entrance of the cave. Before the two could struggle to resist, he choked them with one blow.
Arterial bite.
Qiongqi didn't seem to be afraid of bows and arrows. He neither evaded nor left. In front of King Yong and others, he opened his bloody mouth and devoured the two guards, disemboweling them and tearing them into skeletons.
King Yong Li Lin rolled his eyes and fainted.
After finishing eating the two guards, Qiongqi licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and wandered around the entrance of the cave twice more. Under the horrified eyes of his guards, he flapped his white wings and left slowly.
