Wow! Wow!
A night crow in the woods flew over the branches, crowed twice in the darkness, blinked its slightly red eyes, and stared at the wandering black shadow below, and the scholar leading an old donkey.
The creatures in the wild mountains became spirits and monsters, but their spiritual awareness was not fully awakened. Only after they attained enlightenment did they get rid of their animal nature. This green snake saved the Toad Taoist several years ago. Lu Liangsheng gave the other party a pill that could help improve his Taoism, and the green snake left the mark of seeking the pill. Only then was the Taoist used it as a backer to solve his problems.
If the other party had really done something evil, Lu Liangsheng would be able to sense the evil spirit. At the moment, there was demonic energy leaking out of the other party, but there was no evil spirit left behind by harming living beings, which made him feel much more at ease.
In front of me, a long snake was lying on the ground and sliding across the ground. The gravel and fallen leaves made rustling sounds. It would occasionally flick its tongue and look back at the scholar behind it.
hiss~~
She murmured intimately, as if she wanted to lead the other person to a place. Lu Liangsheng did not refuse. It was still dark outside, so there was no harm in following her for a walk.
Sure enough, in less than a moment, Lu Liangsheng followed the green snake to the depths of the forest. Under the steep cliff, under the cover of several large trees, there was a cave entrance about one or two people high. A slight cool breeze blew out from inside. Looking inside, it was deep and dark with no end in sight.
"You will live in this cave to practice?"
hiss~~
The green snake raised its upper body and nodded, then lowered its long and thick body, wriggling its densely covered green scales, and swam into the cave through the entrance.
Lu Liangsheng let go of the reins, letting the old donkey stay outside. He carried the bookshelf on his back and followed the snake's tail that had just entered the cave, and walked straight inside. The stalactites and sharp rocks in the cave had long been worn away, so it seemed that the green snake had stayed here for quite some time.
Sizzle... bang bang...
The sound of scales rubbing against rocks came from the deep cave ahead. On the way over, Lu Liangsheng found the road surprisingly flat, but there was a lot of newly ground rock powder under his feet. It should be Xiaoqing clearing the way for him, grinding some of the raised road surfaces smooth.
After walking a little further, the snake's tail in front suddenly accelerated and disappeared. Lu Liangsheng spread out his palms, and a ball of fire floated up, illuminating the surroundings. He saw that the space here became spacious, and it was estimated that it could accommodate hundreds of people.
The cave was not empty. There were several weathered stone pillars standing on both sides, and the green snake was coiled on a huge stone platform, like its bed.
"You live a very refined life and even found yourself a bed... huh?!"
He paused. The stone bed that the green snake was pressing down on looked quite familiar. Lu Liangsheng looked at the stone pillars on both sides. He put down the bookshelf and moved closer. He reached out and stroked the cold and hard stone, vaguely feeling the carved patterns.
"Xiaoqing, come down first."
Hearing Lu Liangsheng's call, the green snake that could understand human language lowered its head, slowly slid down the edge of the stone platform, swam to the side and coiled up its long body. It tilted its head curiously, and looked at the scholar walking over with a ball of fire hanging in confusion. Could it be that the benefactor had taken a fancy to the bed where it slept? What if the benefactor moved the bed away
However, Lu Liangsheng did not pay attention to the meaning in the green snake's eyes. He stared straight at the stone platform revealed after the snake's body left, and then he punched it in the palm of his hand.
"It is."
"What do you mean, Liangsheng, where are you?"
The small door of the bookshelf on the ground opened, and the Toad Taoist came out yawning. He looked around, and following his disciple's back, he saw the stone platform and a sculpture of a winged snake on the platform - Teng Snake.
Lu Liangsheng felt a little excited, and a smile gradually appeared on the corners of his lips. After the altar of Qingcheng Mountain was completed, "Boundless Mountains and Seas" outlined a few more pieces of land, and then there was no movement. Later, he was delayed by other things and had not done any research.
After thinking about it, the scholar waved his sleeves to sweep away the dust on the snake, bowed respectfully, then stepped forward and stretched out two fingers to point at the top of Teng Snake's head, infusing it with magic power. Just like before, the magic power meandered and intertwined on the snake's body along lines, until a pair of snake eyes lit up with light blue magic light, then he withdrew his hand.
He jumped down and took out the book "Boundless Mountains and Seas" which had been hidden in the bottom of the box in the bookshelf. As soon as he opened it, a handful of yellow sand flew out from the picture, fell to the side, and turned into the demon king Gongsun Liao.
He opened his cloak and sat down on a nearby stone. "You scholar, why do you have to be so slow to turn the pages? If I didn't have a Zhu Erniang to vent my anger on, I would have almost gone mad... Hey, old toad, you're here too?"
Over there, after glancing at his disciple flipping through a book, Toad Taoist turned around, climbed onto the bookshelf, stood on tiptoes, and slightly raised his chin.
"Is it rare to see me here?"
"Hahaha! Rare!" Gongsun Liao laughed loudly. The giant snake looked over and didn't take it seriously. When it saw the scholar reading a book, its laughter died down and it leaned forward: "Old Toad, are you going to be like this?"
The Toad Taoist was stunned for a moment, looked down at his bulging belly, two whiskers at the corners of his mouth, and turned his face away.
"I don't have time to repair the demon pill!"
"Then do you want to repair it?" Gongsun Liao lowered his voice and said, "Your luck has been changed, but my luck is still there."
He glanced at the scholar over there, stood up and walked away, put his hands behind his back, and hooked his finger at the toad. The latter also looked at Lu Liangsheng who was flipping through the book, hesitated for a moment, gently lifted his flippers and took a few steps, then spread his flippers and ran excitedly with his long tongue hanging to catch up.
The cave was filled with the rustling sound of snakes. Lu Liangsheng held the flame in one hand and turned the pages of the book with the other. Sure enough, a new altar lit up on the painting of endless mountains and seas.
It connected with the normal lines that had spread before, and exuded a faint spiritual energy.
'rise!'
Lu Liangsheng spread the book on the ground and pointed his finger at the third All-Spirit Formation in Qi County on the picture. A faint spiritual energy rose up, rushed out of the paper and gathered on his fingertips.
After a while, the wind blew around the cave. The green snake that had coiled its long body in the cave raised its head and looked around. Fear flashed in its cold eyes, and it quickly buried its head under its body.
'This is... Gangfeng, the Teng Snake riding the wind...'
There are techniques for controlling the wind in ordinary spells, but they require finger gestures and incantations, and the wind that is blown is just ordinary wind. Now there is no magic spell to guide him, and he feels a little excited when he summons the strong wind of heaven and earth.
You know, when the soul leaves the body, the thing it fears most is the strong wind blowing between heaven and earth, which can easily blow away the soul of a cultivator.
"Master, it seems that just as I have verified before, I can borrow the innate divine powers from the strange beasts in the mountains and seas..."
Not hearing any response, Lu Liangsheng turned around, but there was no trace of Toad Taoist priest on the bookshelf, and even the wolf demon that had just run out was gone.
"They are old friends, so they should go out to chat."
Lu Liangsheng thought about it and decided to let his master talk to his old friend. He then got up and went out to find some dead branches and firewood, lit a bonfire, put on a small pot, and cooked rice porridge.
He took a blanket and spread it on the ground, and Lu Liangsheng lay down on it. He continued to try out various magical powers of strange beasts with great interest while holding "Boundless Mountains and Seas". After a while, the Toad Taoist and the Wolf Demon came back together. The man and the two demons had supper, and the two demons continued to hide in the corner, whispering and discussing something.
The night was deep, gradually turning from dark to light. The mist on the foothills gradually dissipated in the morning light. The campfire in the cave had long been extinguished. In the wisp of remaining smoke, Lu Liangsheng carried the bookshelf on his back, called his master who was sitting by the campfire and nodding his head, and said goodbye to the green snake.
"There are too many people here. You might as well go to the south. There is a lot of land and few people there. There is also abundant spiritual energy, which is more suitable for cultivation."
hiss~~
The snake head that poked its head out of the cave nodded thoughtfully, looked at the scholar who bowed and said goodbye, and walked out of the forest leading the old donkey and a wolf demon in a cloak.
Perhaps reluctant to leave, the snake climbed up the mountain wall with its long and thick body. When it reached the highest point, it heard the excited braying of a donkey. It raised its head high and searched for a while. Finally, it saw a man and a donkey walking out of the forest, talking and laughing as they walked north.
