Chapter 48

Beside the ancient willow, Baijun spit out the letter and neighed in a low voice.

There are long and narrow underground passages under the soil and rocks, with countless black ants running around, doing their own thing.

There is a small palace in the underground world, cut from piles of dirt and rubble.In the stone palace, there is an ant queen who walks upright like a human being, and the two tentacles on top of her head receive information from the outside world.

The queen ant also communicates with it through the low-hertz echo unique to the creature.

Under the boulder is the old nest and foundation of this ant colony, among which there is an ant queen who has become a demon, and a group of carnivorous ants that have undergone special mutations.

Baijun already knew about their existence, but seldom asked about them, and never interfered with their reproduction and survival.

They are in a symbiotic relationship, like allies, living for each other.

Although the number and strength of the ant colony have grown to be terrifying, but the yin and yang are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, and there are always natural enemies restraining them.

There are many pangolin monsters in the forest, and even anteaters that feed on carnivorous ants. Frogs, brown bears, hedgehogs, spiders, etc. all eat ants.

Leaving Ten Thousand Snake Mountain, even if their number doubles again, they can only be wiped out in the face of countless monsters and natural enemies in Nuo Da Forest.

As for the carnivorous ants, most of their natural enemies are the food of snakes. Only with the evil spirit of the two green and white snakes can they develop stably.

Naturally, with the help of the opponent's strength, there must be something in return.It is difficult for snakes to deal with the existence of huge beasts, but it happens to be what carnivorous ant colonies are best at dealing with.

In this mountain of ten thousand snakes, there are ten thousand snakes in the open, and billions of ants in the dark, growing and living together.

Even though tens of thousands of snakes in the mountains are suffering from severe drought and the number has dropped from tens of thousands to tens of thousands, the symbiosis of snakes and ants still exists.

Baijun informed the Queen Ant that there might be incoming Seven Gu Sect practitioners, and hoped that she could use the colony of ants to monitor the various mountain crossings.

The ant queen's intelligence has been opened, so she naturally knows the seriousness of the problem. After all, carnivorous ants are also insects, and they are also worried about those unpredictable Gu techniques.

The number of snakes in the mountains has been greatly reduced, and other ethnic groups have seized a lot of living space, and the white scorpion has not intervened, because relying on the reproductive ability of the snake nests, as long as the thirteen snake nests are safe, the snakes will return sooner or later. The status of the Snake Mountain overlord group.

However, there are exceptions.

On this day, after Bai Jun got up in the morning and recited the scriptures, surprise flashed in his eyes.Thanks to the blessing of the authority of the mountain, he can see most of Wanshe Mountain, but there are also many places that he can't explore, so he asked carnivorous ants to supplement it.

Today, he saw a familiar monster.

On the west side of Ten Thousand Snakes Mountain, a wild leopard with a huge body nearly ten feet long is staring coldly at a black python that is nearly ten feet long in the grass ahead.

The boa constrictor curled up, spat out the letter, and kept warning.The giant leopard in front of him gave it an instinctive fear, and the boa constrictor didn't dare to turn around and walk away, exposing its back to the opponent.

There is still a scar on the left side of Wild Leopard's face. Although the flesh and flesh of the injury have healed, the scar cannot be removed.He watched the boa constrictor in front of him fear him, and he couldn't help but feel complacent. He let out a trace of demonic aura, and the terrifying wind rushed towards the boa constrictor, so frightening that he couldn't even lift his head, and was completely paralyzed.

Huapi Yebaozi felt a burst of pleasure in his heart, so what about the python, won't it still surrender at my feet?Back then when the damn white snake slapped his tail, his skin was ripped open and his flesh was bloody. It happened that Shan Yu infected the wound, and he almost died in Shan Yu that time.

Until today, I have been cultivating demon transformation for more than a hundred years, my spiritual wisdom has been greatly enlightened, my magic skills have been successful, and I have dominated the mountains and forests, but I still haven't left here.

Because he wanted to take revenge, and if he didn't take revenge, the hatred in his heart would be hard to get rid of.

The white snake was in the mountain. He felt that the demon power was getting stronger and stronger, and he practiced for several hours every day and worked hard far beyond ordinary monsters. Even if the white snake is strong, he will definitely be able to take it down after a hundred years of hard work.

Thinking of this, the Huaskin Leopard looked at the boa constrictor frightened by its demonic aura with cold eyes, and jumped to bite it seven inches away.

But at this time, a strange wind suddenly rose in the mountain forest, and the gust of wind suddenly swept up the leopard.

Huaskin Leopard was shocked, his body sank several thousand catties in a flash of yellow light.

He cautiously looked around, the leopard's eyes were only dignified without fear, and since the horizontal bones hadn't been refined yet, he could only let out low and low roars in protest.

The strong winds all around gathered into a tornado, wrapped the clouds in the mountains and turned into a serpentine tornado, and rolled towards it.

The flower-skinned leopard roared, and suddenly split into three figures, and the four wild leopards fled in four directions, east, west, north, and south.

The wild leopard leaped ten feet away, and fled tens of feet in the blink of an eye. Only then did he relax a little, thinking that it was time to escape.

But at this moment, a low-pitched man's chuckle suddenly resounded in the air: "I underestimated you, where are you going?"

The wild leopard was shocked, and hurriedly fled to the west at an extremely fast speed.

But when a monster wind blew, it actually formed a mighty tornado over the mountain forest, sucking the wild leopard into it, and turned it into a gust of wind and blew it into the distance.

……

The wild leopard shook his head drowsily, suddenly remembering that he was captured by a mysterious monster.His muscles tensed instantly, and he raised his head and looked around.

I saw a small pool in front of me, and there was a huge weeping willow on the side. The afterglow of the setting sun shone brightly on the pool, and a man in white was sitting on the edge of the boulder with his back to him, playing softly at the moment. Holding a bamboo flute, the melodious and calming sound of the flute sounded.

The wild leopard hesitated for a moment, gave up the idea of ​​sneak attacking from behind the opponent, and instead fled quietly out of the valley.He is not a fool, most human beings will never ignore a wild leopard behind them, and most of the people in this wilderness are not human.

Suddenly, the sound of the flute stopped, "Why did you forget who I am?"

The wild leopard's paw stopped suddenly, and it turned around.

However, the man in white turned around slowly and turned into a huge white python in an instant.

Wild Leopard thumped in his heart, it's broken!This white snake has such a strong monster power, he is no match.But the other party can still remember him, so there is no way out, so he can only fight to the death!
The wild leopard burst out with terrifying sprinting power in an instant, and three leopard shadows transformed into three leopard shadows rushed towards the white snake like lightning.

However, the white snake turned into a human form again in a turn, and a willow leaf just fell in front of him. Bai Yan lightly flicked the willow leaf and stabbed the wild leopard like a vicious lancet.

"Boom~"

The wild leopard flew upside down, but he was blown back by the power brought by the willow leaf, and the willow leaf even penetrated into the center of his eyebrows, and if it was an inch deeper, he would be dead.

Enduring the severe pain, the wild leopard stood up, and when he saw the white man slowly walking towards him, he backed up tremblingly.

"The difference between you and me is too great. Even if you practice for a thousand years, it will be difficult to defeat me. Today, I will give you a way to go. Respect me, and you can live. If you don't want to, I will send you to the road of death and you don't have to go." Bai Ju leaned slightly to one side, stretched out his hand and waved, the bamboo flute pierced through the air and stuck three inches in front of the wild leopard, the bamboo tail was still trembling.

The wild leopard was stunned, this hateful white snake is willing to not kill him, but let him live?
The demon is no longer a beast, wisdom has been born.The will to survive surpassed the hatred he had kept in his heart. He whimpered, lowered his head beside the bamboo flute, and threw his paws forward to express his submission.

Seeing this, Bai Jun laughed lightly, flicked his fingers and shot out, and a tiny drop of demon power penetrated into the center of the wild leopard's eyebrows.

"This is the poison I cultivated. The poison of a hundred snakes can be refined into a single drop. It will be fine if I keep the seal of my demon power in my body. But after three months, the demon power will dissipate and poison into the flesh and blood. There is no way out. If you are faithful No two, I will naturally renew the seal for you, if you still have evil thoughts, you will turn into a pile of bones in the blink of an eye."

The wild leopard was so frightened that he kowtowed, begging for mercy.

Bai Jun was unmoved, but said: "In the future, a hundred miles to the west of Wanshe Mountain will be your cave, you go and guard it, and don't let a single human come over."

The wild leopard had no choice but to leave the valley with its seriously injured body, and went to the west side of Wansnake Mountain to find a place to live.The other party can transform into a human form and spit out people's words, and his strength is no longer comparable to him.But the hatred in his heart was still there, buried in the bottom of his heart and burning, giving him the strength to keep going.

Bai Jun didn't want to dissolve the hatred in the other party's heart. Isn't hatred a kind of power that can be used sometimes?

Even if the wild leopard has practiced diligently for more than a hundred years, it is far from his opponent. After all, Baijun has had several chances, swallowed the elixir of spiritual fruit, learned the method of Tuna, and is blessed by the authority of the mountain. Only under the Great Transformation Demon.

Even if he doesn't have a powerful attacking magic technique, Baijun still has a way to make up for it.

Even though Qing Cang has the magic to attack evil spirits and magical purple energy, he is still not his opponent.There are many factors that affect the combat power of monsters. Apart from foreign objects, there are only sorcery, physical body, and profound demon power.

Although the difference between Qingcang and Baijun's demon power is not too much, the quality of Baijun's 300-year-old demon power is far better than Qing Cang's 200-year-old demon power by more than double.

Nearly 200 years of swallowing and puffing up the moonlight, the power of too little and two yin in Baijun's body has accumulated more and more, and the two forces of Taiyin and Shaoyin gradually merged into a full moon, and the vitality of water and wood gradually merged into the full moon, expanding the moon. Beads.

It's just that the demon power of more than 300 years is still too little.

Bai Jun began to sink his heart and continue to cultivate quietly. The green snake looked at the sun, and the white snake swallowed the moon. The sun and the moon alternated continuously, and the years passed year by year.

……

More than ten years later, Baijun will be [-] years old.

He swallowed the treasured molting flower in one gulp and began to shed its skin.

Outside the cave, the green snake stopped practicing and coiled itself in front of the cave to protect the Dharma.

"Whoo~"

A storm suddenly rose in the sky, and heavy dark clouds shrouded the sky in all directions, making the sky terribly dark.

"Boom~"

Thunder shook.

"Ah~"

The white snake sheds its skin.

Severe pain spread all over the body, which was different from the previous moulting. There was no such impatient itching and pain, only the feeling of almost passing out from the pain, which made Bai Min go crazy.

In the extreme pain, Bai Yan seemed to have hallucinations in front of his eyes. He saw a big snake, a snake bigger than the sky!

The giant snake circled around the world, its huge body filling the sea and the mountains, the circumference of the world is the length of the giant snake, and countless light blue ancient scripts are engraved on its body, each ancient script exudes the breath of the great way, the giant The python turned its head like the sky, and looked at Bai Jun.

There is a strange color in the huge animal pupils. Its left eye is glazed light, but its right eye is black and dull. The left eye contains vitality and good fortune, while the right eye is cold and dead.

The eyes of life and death fell on Bai Jun, and after only looking at each other for a moment, Bai Jun completely passed out.

Outside the cave, Huanghuang Tianwei thunderbolt swept away, but they never landed.Qing Cang was frightened by the terrifying thunder, but he didn't leave the cave.

At the moment when Bai Jun passed out, the sky thunder disappeared, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sky and the earth returned to clarity.

……

Bai Min woke up slowly, saw Qing Cang beside him, and said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, this is a blessing in disguise."

Qingcang rarely opened his mouth and said: "But your skin is still on your body and hasn't shed off."

Bai Jun smiled, a faint white light glowed on his body, and the snake slough that was still bound to his body disappeared.

His body as smooth as jade moved slowly, and now he is more than twelve feet long, looking from a distance like a white dragon hovering in a cave.

Qingcang looked at it suspiciously, then picked it up with the snake's tail, "Where did the snake slough go?"

"Of course it's on me." Bai Jun regained some strength, rolled up his body, and said with joy: "This is the sorcery I comprehended during life and death, and it can save my life!"

"What is that?" Qing Cang was still puzzled and asked.

"This one, keep it a secret. The fewer people know, the greater the power!" Bai Jun joked, "Why do you ask so clearly? Want to learn? You can't learn it even if you learn it."

Qing Cang murmured: "Mystery, it must be tasteless."

The corner of Bai Yu's mouth twitched, he has already learned to use the word tasteless, it seems that he taught really well, in the future, he still needs to teach more knowledge, let him be a learned snake demon.

……

Yinzhou, Qi County, Xiahe Village, Lu's ancestral home.

The maid Xiaoyue walked to the main house, knocked softly on the door, and whispered: "Ma'am, are you awake? I have to get up early today, and I want to discuss with the elders about moving the ancestral hall together with the master."

After a while, a lazy voice came from the room, "Come in, and wash up for me."

Xiaoyue hurriedly waved back, followed by four servant girls, holding copper basins, wooden basins, tooth powder, ponytail brush and many other things for washing, they followed Xiaoyue into the main house one after another.

At this time, Madam was already sitting in front of the dressing table, rinsing her mouth, cleansing her face, etc., and after the four little maids had finished serving and stepped back, Xiaoyue combed Madam's hair and hairpins carefully.

Xiaoyue is very cautious, not daring to hurt Madam, this Madam is the first wife who has been with the master all the way, even though the most favored in the mansion is the third concubine, but the one whom the master respects the most is always the one who has been with him since his infancy. The married wife beside him.

Madam looked at her slightly wrinkled face in the dark brass mirror, and said calmly: "Yesterday, the master rested at Mrs. Li again?"

Xiaoyue's heart trembled, and she hurriedly said: "Yes! The master went to see the fourth young master at the third concubine yesterday, maybe he just took a rest there after being tired all day."

Madam heard the words and smiled lightly, "Forget it. It's rare for him to go back to the old house, so let's go with the master. In August, the master will go to Yunzhou to take office, and the Li family can't afford it."

Xiaoyue took care of Madam dressing up nervously, and after breakfast, she brought four or five maidservants to the living room of Lu Mansion.

The furnishings in the hall are simple but grand, and the luxury cannot be ignored in a low-key way.

Lu Yutang looked at his first wife, Wang Shi, who was dressed in a dignified and decent way, walking in a leisurely manner, and couldn't help feeling relieved. It was still his first wife who knew how to behave. It's embarrassing in front of the old man.

With a faint smile on her face, the lady greeted many elders and finally came to Lu Yutang's side and stood next to the main seat.

Lu Yutang smiled and said to the people in the hall: "Seniors, please sit down. Yutang invited all the elders within the fifth server today, I think you all know what is going on.

I specially invited Yuan Tianshi, a feng shui master from Jinjing, to come to the ancestral house to investigate the feng shui. Our Xiahe Lu family has been passed down for more than a hundred years.

So I specially asked Master Yuan to explore the mountains and waters, and found a geomantic treasure land, which I bought and planned to rebuild the ancestral hall. "

As soon as the words fell, an old man with a gray beard said: "Oh! Eldest nephew, we have to call you Mr. Zhifu outside, but we are all your elders in the house. I have to say a few words to you , the wilderness at the foot of Qianshan Mountain, how can it be used as an ancestral temple?"

"Yes, your second uncle is right. Yutang, the construction of the ancestral hall will cost a lot of money, and the large-scale construction will also disturb the peace of the ancestors!"

All the elders in the clan objected.

……

Xiaoyue, who was standing beside the madam, looked at the crowd of clan elders who opposed her below, and couldn't help but recall that she was delivering medicinal food to the madam that night, and accidentally overheard the conversation between the master and the madam.

Then Master Yuan from Jinjing is a liar, but the master wants to move to the ancestral hall. It is absurd that the master, a court official with an official to the fourth rank, actually said that Liu Xiantuomeng.

To this day, seeing the grandpa with such great fanfare and firm attitude, she couldn't help but have a thought, could it really be Liu Xiantuo's dream?Could it be that there are some gold and silver treasures in the new ancestral hall?Or something protected by Liu Xian?
Otherwise, if only a dream can make the court officials obedient, wouldn't anyone be able to be an official?

Although Xiaoyue had a lot of guesses in her heart, she knew that the more she knew as a servant, the sooner she would die, and there were countless shadows in the big family.She firmly kept this conjecture in her heart.

Sure enough, the matter was finally insisted by the master, who threatened and lured the elders of the clan to agree to the relocation of the ancestral hall.

As a local magistrate, even if he is not an official of Yinzhou, he is not something that a magistrate of Qi County can offend.

Therefore, the Lu family ancestral hall was built very quickly, and it stood at the foot of Qianshan Mountain, only separated from the border of Wanshe Mountain by a big river.

After the ancestral hall was built, the craftsmen who built the ancestral hall were seldom paid attention to. The local gentry came to congratulate them one after another. What they valued was the Lu Yutang of the Lu family built by this ancestral hall.

At the age of 23, he passed the college examination and became a scholar. At the age of 30, he was the second in the Yayuan examination in Yinzhou. At the age of 34, he was ranked first in the imperial examination. Now that he was promoted to the magistrate of Daoguang Prefecture in Yunzhou at only [-] this year, it can be said that he has a bright future.

These country gentry did not notice that the craftsmen who participated in the construction of the ancestral hall were relocated to Yunzhou one after another, and nothing about the past was mentioned.

……

One year after the completion of the Lu's ancestral hall, the ancestral tablets in the hall are still standing, and the incense candles are constantly burning, and they are still bright at night.On the tall beam, a white snake slowly climbed down the huge pillar.
