In the Valley of the Snake King, Bai Jun was coiled lazily among the willow branches. The poisonous day in late summer was so terrible that he did not even dare to practice. Practicing under such a bright and clear world would only cause the evil energy to reverse and damage the muscles and bones.
In comparison, night is still suitable for demons to practice, and Bai Jun also prefers to breathe in the full moon above the nine heavens and absorb the energy of Taiyin and Shaoyin.
Looking up, you can vaguely see the sky above the valley. Under the scorching sun, a hazy and unreal white python is entrenched in this valley, dominating the sky and frightening all the beasts.
Maybe that's the legendary luck? Or maybe it's the divine power of incense?
After becoming a demon, his perception of the humans who offered incense and prayed to him became clearer.
Last winter, Bai Jun left his own venom outside Zhuangjia Village. The strong smell of snake blood frightened some ghosts and monsters, allowing the small village to spend a winter with peace of mind.
As a result, people in several nearby villages and towns spread word of mouth and invited the Baojiaxian to worship the Liu family in the shrine.
Unknowingly, Bai Jun became the most popular wild god within dozens of miles.
When he had nothing to do, he listened to these boring human prayers, which was a kind of fun to kill time.
As for answering the prayers of those humans one by one, Bai Jun has no such plan at the moment. Human beings are a race that will never be satisfied with their desires. He will naturally choose a method that is beneficial to him.
The incense lingering around him really made Bai Jun's cultivation progress much faster, and under the control of his consciousness, the strands of incense condensed on the Snake Head Heavenly Spirit and turned into a full moon.
And through this full moon, Bai Jun does have some magical means. He can use the full moon to enter the dream believers, and he can also build some special relationships between the full moon, the white snake statue, and the believers, and then he can achieve
The White Snake Fairy appears in the human heart.
For example, he once helped a poor old widowed woman in a village find her gold bracelet that had been lost for many years.
He also saved the life of a farmer's only son who fell into the river.
He also punished an idle man in the village who was disrespectful to him, and then he accidentally missed the path and fell into a manure pit and almost choked to death, becoming the laughing stock of the whole village.
Life in the world is long and short, peaceful and quiet. Sometimes neighbors are noisy, shrews curse, and men meet widows in the wild. In such a village, chickens and dogs hear each other, yellow hair hangs down, and contentment is the greatest happiness.
.
Without any companions to communicate with, these humans have become Bai Jun's familiar daily routine.
Living far away in the mountains and wilderness, quietly watching the fireworks in the world, with immortals and secular people accompanying each other, one on the left, one on the right, blooming all the way, so that this long and lonely road will not be cold.
…
In Jinjing, in the Qiangu Pavilion in the East City, an auction was coming to an end. The audience was filled with the princes and nobles of Jinjing and powerful families from all over the country.
On the stage, a woman in purple who still had charm said with a smile: "Dear distinguished guests, I believe that everyone can't wait to see the three auction items at the end of this pavilion. In previous years, I would have been less verbose, but this year I am not.
I’m going to be verbose for a moment. Before that, everyone, let’s take a look at something. This thing is quite miraculous and has transcended the mundane realm.”
"Oh? Mrs. Xu should be careful with what she says. You must know that there are big people here who have all the rare treasures in the world, and nothing may be able to catch our eyes." A middle-aged fat man hugged a young girl in his arms.
He groped around his waist and looked at the woman on the stage with a smile.
Mrs. Xu covered her mouth and chuckled, "Since Ping Bohou has said this, let me let you guys take a look."
After saying that, she retreated and walked backstage. The lights and candles in the auction room were extinguished one after another.
Everyone was making a noise, arguing about what was going on? Many princes were even concentrating on guarding their surroundings, fearing that some enemy or political enemy would suddenly attack them.
"Bang~"
There was a soft sound, and a row of girls dressed in plain gauze appeared on the stage and filed out holding white jade palace lanterns, lighting up the venue.
While everyone was wondering, wisps of hazy clouds and smoke floated down from the high platform. With the white jade palace lanterns and the girl wearing plain gauze, it looked like a moon palace.
At this moment, everyone saw a white snake that was as white as mutton-fat jade, flying down from the sky, with a full moon shining high in the sky. The white snake was like a dragon entrenched on the top of a mountain, as if it were swallowing the moon from the nine heavens and absorbing the light of the bright moon.
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath, and when they were panicking, they heard Mrs. Xu's voice.
"Don't be surprised. This is a painting called White Snake Fairy under the Moon. It was painted by Wu Xuanzi, a painter who once made a picture of white cranes flying into the sky, at the foot of Wanshe Mountain on the border of Qinan Prefecture. It is said to have reached the level of the legendary Danqing School of Painting.
When the mind enters the realm of painting, the painting is no longer a painting, it looks like a real scene!"
After hearing these words, everyone calmed down and took a closer look, and found that it was indeed a white snake with silk threads binding the edge of the drawing paper.
Many people were experts in painting. They were obviously moved when they heard that the painting was so fascinating that they asked: "How much does Mrs. Xu's painting cost?"
"Haha~" Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "In order to create this painting, Mr. Wu Xuanzi grew old overnight and aged for more than ten years. Moreover, this is the first masterpiece of painting that has been preserved in the Jin Dynasty. Everyone.
Those who know the business will naturally know what this means. I will say no more, the base price is fifty thousand taels of silver, and each increase must not be less than a hundred taels."
As soon as this price came out, those attendees who were ignorant and had little financial resources were amazed. A painting could be auctioned for a reserve price of 50,000 taels. It was so valuable that some aristocratic families could not afford this price even if they lost all their money.
But in a place like Jinjing, the most indispensable thing is rich people!
The Jin Kingdom was founded a hundred years ago. In the thirty years since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, it has become increasingly prosperous. The country is rich and the people are strong, and these princes and nobles are naturally even more wealthy than the country.
Therefore, soon someone offered money to compete, and finally the painting was bought at a sky-high price of one hundred thousand taels. The person who bought the painting was the legitimate son of a first-class public figure in the dynasty, and no one was blind and had other ideas.
Wanshe Mountain in the Qinan Mountains is also famous around the world with this extremely precious painting.
…
However, Bai Zhen in the valley is not clear about all this.
He still quietly cultivates with peace of mind, absorbing the essence of the moon every night, and breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth every day. When he has nothing to do, he appears in the village to bless the simple villagers who believe in Baojiaxian.
The full moon on the forehead, with the blessing of the incense accumulated day and night, gradually evolved into a Shinto seal. It can gather incense, assist in spiritual practice, and manifest spirits into dreams, which has many uses.
While practicing in the mountains, it is difficult to distinguish the years. Unknowingly, Bai Jun has been practicing for twenty years and has learned the first magic technique, which is called Demonic Wind.
All you need to do is to gather your demonic power and concentrate it in your mouth and stomach and blow hard, and in an instant a strong wind will rise, black clouds will cover the moon, and the wind will injure people and destroy their souls.
This kind of destructive magic is not a good monster at first glance, but it is indeed the first magic that Bai Jun has learned.
He understood the reason after going down the mountain to visit and dream of the villagers. Because the first-class snake fairies and snake fairies were far more powerful than the fox fairies and mouse fairies, most of them were fairy families who took the lead in subduing demons and protecting their families. Bai Jun accepted the title of Liu Jiaxian and enjoyed the incense of all people.
This is in response to the title of Liu Jiaxian.
Bai Jun estimated that although he had only practiced for twenty years, with the blessing of incense and the assistance of Tunyuehua, his demon power was comparable to that of fifty years of cultivation, and his combat power was even better than that of a hundred-year-old rat fairy and fox fairy.
flow.
Over the past twenty years, Wan Snake Mountain has truly lived up to its name. The area covering more than two hundred miles is a place where snakes breed, and the number of snakes among them is no less than tens of thousands.
However, the only one who became a demon among them was the Green Snake King, who was personally selected by Bai Jun. After enlightening his spirit, he attracted the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body and turned into a demon. Now he is practicing in the valley with Bai Jun.
The rest of the snakes just do nothing, reproduce and reproduce from birth to death, and can be considered to be able to enjoy a peaceful life.
Although the Green Snake has transformed into a demon, its speed in attracting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is far less than that of Bai Jun. Moreover, the Green Snake is sleepy and lazy all day long. Without Bai Jun's supervision, it would not be able to practice with peace of mind for even an hour a day.
For this reason, Green Snake was beaten many times by Bai Jun, and finally he repented and was able to practice for an hour a day. Don't underestimate this hour, not all monsters practice hard, most of them
Demons are like green snakes who will absorb some spiritual energy from heaven and earth or moonlight when they remember to practice. On weekdays, they are either playful or sleepy.
After all, these are the bestiality that monsters carry with them throughout their lives.
Although Green Snake has the cold blood and laziness of snakes, it has the only advantage, that is, it is close to Bai Jun. Even when Bai Jun died, it never had any second thoughts.
You know, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and one valley cannot tolerate two kings. This is not just a saying, but a survival rule for countless beasts.
But the Green Snake could always tolerate him and was extremely loyal to him. Even if Bai Jun urged him to practice hard enough to hurt it, the Green Snake would never resist at all.
The only thing that makes Bai Jun helpless is that the green snake has the same habits as all snakes and likes coiled snakes.
In the summer evening, when there is a sudden summer rain and strong winds, there will be two green and white snakes entangled and playing in the water in this valley. The two green and white snakes, which are nearly ten meters long, are like little dragons. They stir up the fish in the water pool and scare the shrimps and crabs.
It looks weird and charming.
Fortunately, the green snake is a male snake, so Bai Jun can't help but go into heat, mate, and reproduce.
Nowadays, ordinary female snakes can no longer afford to reproduce and mate with Bai Jun, and there is already a species barrier between snake demons and snakes.
Bai Jun also regarded the increasingly close Green Snake as his younger brother. Being lonely and cold in this mountain, he would not be left alone with no one to accompany him.
Although Xiaoqing has opened up his spiritual intelligence for the demon, his intelligence is obviously very low. He is probably only as smart as a seven or eight-year-old human child. He can barely understand words, know how to abide by the rules, and has the perseverance to persevere.
Bai Jun didn't teach it anything. Spiritual wisdom is not something that can be taught. Wisdom can also increase over time as you practice.
There are four seasons throughout the year, sleeping in spring and winter, coming out in summer and autumn, practicing day and night, year after year.
However, the peaceful days will not last long after all.
With the arrival of spring this year, the two green and white snakes woke up from their caves, ending their hibernation for the year.
Xiao Qing still clung to Bai Jun reluctantly, and her lazy snake nature still made her not want to get out of the hole.
Relying on his deep demonic power, Bai Jun climbed out of the snake cave and breathed out the snake letter to sense the outside atmosphere. Unexpectedly, his snake letter sensed many uninvited guests.
…
On the west side of the Snake King Valley, a group of sergeants were wearing armor and silk, holding spears, swords or long bows on their backs. Each of them was powerful, and they marched in a controlled manner, with strict laws. This was obviously an elite division.
In front of the army, there was a military commander and a long-bearded Confucian scholar walking side by side. Thousands of people opened roads on both sides, cutting grass and trees to clear a road that could barely be regarded as a mountain road.
The military general was very respectful to the Confucian scholar. He opened the map in his hand and looked at it, "Military advisor, ten miles ahead is the boundary of Wanshe Mountain. It is surrounded by mountains, and only the Snake King Valley is passable. The road is considered flat. But according to the captured
The villagers of Dajin said that there is a snake demon in the Snake King Valley, and there are countless snakes in the mountains. How do we choose?"
Hearing this, the Confucian scholar raised his head and looked over the mountains. After a moment of silence, he said: "I think the snake demon is just a small demon that has grown up in recent years, which is not enough evidence. The snakes have not yet come out of their caves, so our troops are very fast."
, these thousand elite soldiers must fight to the front of Qinnan Fucheng in order to attract troops for our three elite troops in Dayue.
The whole army sped up and arrived at the Snake King Valley before dark to set up camp. By the way, they killed the snake demon and made snake stew to warm the soldiers."
On the top of the mountain, Bai Jun crouched and raised his head. His terrifying vision and heat sense and smell expanded, and he detected no less than a thousand people.
Nowadays, Bai Jun is not blind. He got a lot of news from the villagers in his dream. For example, this stretch of Qinnan Mountains is not only a country of Dajin. There is a country named Dayue on the west side of Wanshe Mountain.
It was the Yue Kingdom that had lost several states to the Jin Dynasty.
These more than a thousand people entered the mountain quietly, probably out of good intentions. And looking at their itinerary, they seemed to be heading straight for the Snake King Valley. There was nothing they could do about it. Surrounded by mountains for hundreds of miles, only the Snake King Valley was suitable for marching. As for the line of sky
If it is too narrow, it will open with a blast of gunpowder.
As for the snakes in the valley, I'm afraid they can be used as game meat.
The full moon pattern on Bai Jin's forehead rotated, emitting a mysterious light.
…
In the village of Zhuangjia, there was a lazy man named Da Zhuang. He was doing nothing on weekdays. He was sleeping at home and did not go to spring plowing before the winter was over. He was sleeping beautifully when he suddenly saw a big fish in his dream.
The white snake, like a little dragon, has scales all over its body as white as fresh snow. Its tall and majestic snake head looks at itself with indifferent vertical pupils.
His big body trembled so hard that he almost didn't urinate. He knelt down with a plop and worshiped in fear: "Snake Great Immortal, have mercy on me! Big snake, have mercy on me! The younger one didn't do anything harmful. At most, he just hooked up with the widow and cheated on the dog."
, I really haven’t done anything treacherous or evil.”
White Snake said indifferently: "Today there is an errand that can wash away your past sins. Are you willing to go?"
Da Zhuang said hurriedly: "The little one is willing! The little one is willing!"
White Snake spoke again: "To the west outside Wan Snake Mountain, the Yue army is pressing on the border. Please report it to the land god immediately and ask him to report it to the city god."
After hearing this, Da Zhuang woke up in a daze. He opened his eyes in confusion and recalled the scene in his dream, which was so vivid that it seemed like it was real.
He shivered and quickly got out of bed, put on his worn shoes and ran all the way to the Earth Temple. He knelt down in front of the small temple, which was only about ten feet high, lit three incense sticks, and shouted: "Lord of the Earth! Lord of the Earth! It's not good."
The Liuxian family told me in a dream that someone from the Yue Kingdom was calling, coming from Shanxi, and asked you to report it to the City God immediately!"
The land, who was leisurely in the temple, was so frightened when he heard these words that he almost rolled down from his chair. Yue country is a Confucian country that destroys gods and creates new ways. Once they really attack here, they will definitely destroy it.
The earth temple, .scsvc’s life is not guaranteed.
The Earth God hurriedly waved his little hand, cut off the line of incense and sent it to the City God's Mansion. He was slightly different from the other small lands in several villages because he was a blood descendant of the City God during his lifetime, so he had the unique privilege of being able to face the City God directly.
If there is someone behind you, even if you are on the path of incense and gods, it will work.
