The Taoist ancestor is Cthulhu

Sheyang layman once wrote a poem, and here I quote the poem from Chapter 72 of Journey to the West.

The scene Li Fan saw was roughly the same. The four banshees in the spring pool below were rejoicing in the water. At first, they looked human-like, which was heart-warming to watch. He was even hesitant for a moment, not sure whether it was a monster or a real person, and he was worried that using his spiritual consciousness to sweep it would scare off the enemy, so he had no choice but to lean over the rain clouds and hide in the sky to observe. He waited to see the situation for the time being and did not draw his sword immediately. Take action.

But he didn't ask him to watch them for long. These monsters couldn't control themselves and showed their true colors. They felt that it was uncomfortable after all to be wrapped in human skin, and it was hard to let this magic weapon break the disguise. , so he pulled the hood one after another, tore open the mouth, and peeled off the skin layer by layer.

All I saw were snakes and insects with scales, horns, smooth skin, fangs and long tails. Because they had become inner elixirs, they had a roughly human shape. I don’t know if it was the python monster that had refined its hands and feet, or if it was originally They are giant salamanders, four-legged snakes, and first-rate lizards. But it can be seen that they are all aquatic amphibious monsters, types that are often seen in swamps and swamps.

These four monsters appeared in their original form, and they were hissing, giggling, and laughing. It was not tempting, but disgusting.

Fortunately, the system concisely translated the strange sounds for Li Fan.

Excluding the useless information, the monsters revealed about three pieces of useful information.

The first is the discussion among the banshees. Your skin is white and her skin is tender, but the skin I bought is the biggest. You see, the soldiers of the Nangong family all like the big ones. They pounce on them as if the demon is seeing someone. , so it can be concluded that if you spend money to buy big ones in the future, you will be able to hunt men most easily and have the highest cost performance...

Li Fan agrees with this point. Of course, the useful information does not refer to the discussion among the monsters about which company and which model of human skin is the best, but to guess what means they probably used to obtain it from the Nangong family's territory. Came here all the way.

A border soldier who has been guarding the border for a long time and is alone outside the country. He may not even see a female goat for hundreds of years. He has a good impression of the passing banshee and is reluctant to kill it according to the regulations. We all make friends, exchange some information, and occasionally meet up. Going out to do interesting things that help each other and benefit each other, this kind of behavior is understandable from Li Fan's perspective as a man...

The second is that these banshees complained that this trip to do things for grandma was really hard work. They flew 1,300 miles and couldn't even find a pool along the way. They also took turns fighting with the fairy army all the way. He was so dirty and disgusting.

This also confirms Li Fan's previous guess. They are probably all water monsters under the command of Jade Toad Po in Yaoguang Cave. Looking at the map information of the sect, it is almost this far from Fashuang Mountain to Yangjia Mountain, and Among them, Yanshan Mountain is not a mountain, and there is indeed no water source for these water beasts to bathe.

The third thing is that this group of banshees are complaining, vying to insult a maid named Cui'er, saying that she is a son of the beach who likes to endorse green tea. She relies on her grandma's favor to boss around and forces the goblins to lie down at night and come out during the day, which is very popular. They were traveling all day long, and they were not allowed to rest, bathe, or draw attention to themselves...

This Tweety probably refers to the crocodile that was pushed aside to be alone. I'm really speechless. I didn't expect that these female monsters are like college dormitories. Maybe five monsters can form more than a dozen small gangs...

What? What do you mean by other useless information? Oh, it’s probably about which immortal soldier is black, which immortal soldier is strong, which immortal soldier is big, which immortal soldier is smelly, this kind of useless information that can be ignored, cough cough cough!

In short, Li Fan roughly analyzed these three pieces of slightly useful information through systematic translation.

So he also watched from the side. The four monsters had almost finished taking a bath and began to put on human skins. The ones with head and tail stuffed were occupying their hands and feet. It was the time when they were inconvenient to move and were unprepared, so they gave them to the devil. A look.

Fighting Ghost expressed that he had received it, and flew down with a burst of sword light, killing him alone! Double kill! Three kills! Massive killing! The group is destroyed!

As a result, the four demon heads rolled down into the pool almost at the same time, and the battle ended instantly with the flick of a finger without any suspense.

Well, everyone has also seen that using flying swords is so boring. Now Li Fan understands Xuantian's sword intention.

Invincibility means loneliness

Li Fan waited for a while and confirmed that the system had added four more mood points to him and that there was no ambush around him. Then he put on the invisibility charm and hid it, then jumped down from the clouds to sweep the floor and touch the body.

With Sinan's guidance, he picked up four jade pendant bracelets from the pool. But only one demon's bracelet has five jade animal pendants, and the other three demons have three jade pendants. Moreover, the jade pendant was also full of sundries, and it did not carry as many money boxes as the female crocodile did.

But each monster does carry a lot of Shen Gang money. Added together, there are two to three thousand coins. If monsters usually have various exchange activities with the fairy palace, it is normal to carry this money with them. .

It seems that Yaoguangdong is indeed having an affair with Li Guo's Xizuo, and he has no idea about the relationship with the Nangong family. However, it is not yet certain whether this is the behavior of the Immortal Palace, or the individual behavior of a mountainside soldier in the Nangongjia Feishan Mine.

In addition, it can also be seen that the status of these four goblins is obviously inferior to that of the female crocodile Cui'er. They were probably simply brought to serve the Nangong family's fairy army. And that crocodile is responsible for managing money, and is most likely Yuchanpo's confidant.

It's a pity that Li Fan cut it off casually when he came up, otherwise he could have asked for some details about Yaoguang Cave. I don’t know if spells like soul confinement are useful against monsters. I might learn some in the future.

Li Fan quickly cleaned the battlefield, dug up the demon pill, used sword energy to crush the demon and destroy the corpse, and then looked at Sinan.

Still pointing to the west, indicating that there is still a chance.

But further to the west, it should be the non-mountain boundary of the Nangongxian family.

Li Fan made a very quick decision this time. He flew into the sky again without hesitation and continued to hide in the clouds and move forward against the wind.

After all, after these two small tests, Li Fan also knew his own strength. For the righteous monks who hold magic weapons, the advantages of these fairies in the inner alchemy realm are really different between the fireflies and the light of the bright moon. There is a huge gap in crushing levels. Flying swords ride in the face. I really don’t know how to lose!

If this is a dungeon adventure, then it will be completely intact. It's the kind of single-swipe pass. You just clear a wave of mobs and make a net profit of 102,000 gold. You don't even break a sweat or get any blood on your hair. Nothing has been messed up, so why can’t we keep pushing forward? push! Just push!

Ahem, stop bragging. The main issue involves the Nangong family’s immortal soldiers like Feishan Mine. It’s actually quite a big deal.

If this group of Immortal Palace guards inserted in the middle of the Mozhu Mountain Dojo actually betrayed the human race, got together with the monsters like Yuchan Po, and suddenly turned against them and made a surprise attack, even if they were not to bring Mozhu Mountain's dojos in Yangjiashan and Yashan, they would come huge losses.

Due to emotions and reasons, Li Fan had to risk crossing the border to investigate. Try to get as much solid evidence as possible so that you can report it to Zhenshan Zhenren.

Now he can't be sure just by relying on his subjective reasoning and the heads of a few monsters. Naturally, it is not enough to prove against the three major sects.

So Li Fan continued westward, and soon he could no longer see many spiritual springs. The terrain turned into rock formations, and he entered the non-mountain realm.

According to the map of Mozhu Mountain, this mountain is rich in gold and jade, has no water, and is full of vipers underground. It's not a suitable place for people to live anyway.

Back then, the Immortal King Nangong divided the mountains and evacuated the ten mountain guards in one go, and gave Mozhu Mountain as a dojo. Feishan Guard was one of the remaining four mountain guards. The Nangong family stationed troops in this mountain. In addition to the local gold and jade veins, it was obvious that it was also to place a nail in the middle of the dojo in Mozhu Mountain to prevent the forces of Zhushan from being connected and to monitor the development of casual cultivators at any time.

It's just that the Nangong family declined later. This kind of place with no head or tail is not as important as the Phoenix Nest. The Nangong family is not short of a mineral vein, so no one is willing to guard it.

If we follow the theory of reorganizing the guard station stationed in the Immortal Palace when it was at its peak, then there should be a Nascent Soul-level guard commander with a regiment of fifty or so Jindan-level officers, serving as captains for thousands of households. Under the middle-level command, there are more than 5,000 immortal soldiers in the foundation-building stage.

But ever since the great monster Yuchanpo who transformed into a god hundreds of years ago caused trouble and ate up the last guard commander and thousands of soldiers and horses, the Nangong family has no Yuanying who is willing to come to this extremely dangerous wilderness. The city was garrisoned. And the Nangong family is also short of manpower. Naturally, it is impossible to waste another hundred thousand elite soldiers on the mountain. For many years, they have not been able to replenish the casualties in battles. Even the remaining immortal soldiers in the foundation-building stage either died in battle or died of illness, or they retired from the army and fled.

So at this time, the Nangong family's strength to guard the Feishan Mine was only a captain with a perfect golden elixir, and about thirty officers who were unable to make any progress in the golden elixir period. Moreover, they all made mistakes, or offended others, and were reviled and ostracized by veterans. Because my family cannot escape in the Central Plains, and they cannot cultivate to the realm of Yuanying, they can't even get the empty title of a guard commander. They have never fought a battle all year round, let alone being conferred with martial arts. It is also very miserable. .

Why does Mo Zhushan know so well?

Because the ore veins in Feishan were also contracted and mined by Mozhushan Tiangong Lineage.

The ore from Feishan has to be transported to the Nanyu Mountain of Nangong's family. The journey is too long, and the cost of transportation is greater than the manpower and material resources consumed by mining. In the past, a large number of troops were stationed in the south, and when warships came and went frequently, they could take away the ore. Now there is no need to send people specially to mine.

The Nangong family is not stupid. The top of the mountain has been ceded to Mozhu Mountain for defense. Of course, they have long stopped doing such an uneconomical business as going deep into the Demon Mountain to mine. He didn't even bother to carry out daily supplies, so he asked Feishan to seek supplies from Mozhu Mountain nearby.

Therefore, the captain of the Nangong family reached an agreement with Mozhushan and privately allowed Mozhushan to mine in the mountains. Mozhushan was responsible for the excavation, refinement and transportation of the ore every month.

And there is no need to worry about converting Shengang money. Anyway, there is no place to spend money in a mountain of 100,000 yuan. These immortal soldiers of the Immortal Palace exchange magic weapons, elixirs, talismans, and practice techniques directly from Mozhu Mountain. Every time they come to pull ore, the caravan only needs to provide training materials for the golden elixir immortal soldiers stationed in Feishan to practice.

Of course, this Wei Ming still pledges himself to the Nangong family. After all, although these immortal soldiers have been squeezed out and have family members in Li country as hostages, they may one day be able to break through the Nascent Soul realm from the golden elixir and have a chance. It’s not certain that I can return to serve in the Twelve Kingdoms, but I finally have hope, right?

The Nangong family also knew about this. In theory, they should prevent their border troops from connecting with Mozhu Mountain, but those stationed here would be equivalent to exile. The Immortal Palace's skills are also taught to direct descendants, so it is impossible to provide these. If the border troops are further prohibited from exchanging some Kung Fu training materials from Mozhu Mountain and their path to practice is cut off, even the manpower that nominally guards the top of the mountain and monitors Zhushan will be betrayed.

Therefore, here in Feishan, the Nangong family, Mozhu Mountain, and Feishan Immortal Soldiers also have a delicately balanced coexistence relationship.

Therefore, Li Fan also expected that even if he went all the way to the west and bumped into these Nangong family's border soldiers patrolling the mountain, the other party would not dare to really fight him. Of course, the two flying swords in his hands could conquer the sky and slay ghosts. Just don't be afraid of them when you get your hands on them.

But in Li Fan's heart, it was still a bit strange that Feishan's guards would actually choose to collude with monsters.

These, at least, do you understand that people who are not my race must have different minds?

They have all cultivated to the golden elixir realm. It makes no sense that even Li Fan, a time traveler, understands that these are just evil spirits in human skin, but the immortal palace veterans who have been stationed in Feishan for a long time don't understand, right?

What's more, these immortal soldiers who were almost pushed out and exiled to the south should know best that now in Shiwanda Mountain, only Mozhu Mountain is the one they can rely on for help. Moreover, they were still in the hinterland of Mozhu Mountain, under the nose of a large group of Nascent Soul guards.

If he colludes with a monster like this, wouldn't he be asking for death if the news is leaked? Isn't it because they still have worries about their family that they insist on guarding the border for the Nangong family and seek refuge with the demon clan? Not so stupid, right?

Are those banshees so good at seducing people? Can you rely on your body to give alms and turn conflicts into jade and silk? Let's stop wielding swords and guns and do something happy, okay? Just rely on that layer of skin?

But if you think about it carefully from a man's perspective, it seems possible if you hold it in for a long time...ahem!

In short, Li Fan followed Simon's guidance and headed west.

Go west, all the way to the west, all the way to the west! Oh, there is a demonic energy in the north. I will go and take the opportunity... eh? Or all the way west?

Simon didn't move at all, pointing straight to the west. What's going on? Isn't that road in the north his opportunity?

Li Fan was a little stunned. He thought that as long as he touched it and it was destined to me, he could shout whatever he wanted...

After hesitating for a while, Li Fan decided to play it safe and chase the opportunity first.

So he let go of the first evil spirit seen in the north and headed west.

Then let go of the second, third, and fourth lanes, one, two, and three in the south, five, six, and seven in the north, hiss... something is wrong...

Why are there so many monsters! ?

Entering the non-mountain realm, Li Fancai hid in the rain clouds and flew hundreds of miles, encountering ten evil spirits on the way!

Of course, these monsters are all poorly cultivated and cannot see through the true method of cultivation. They don't know that there is a Taoist priest from Mozhu Mountain hiding in the rain clouds above their heads.

Li Fan has been watching these monsters from a distance.

I saw those demons setting up evil winds, flying sand and stones, and obviously practicing many evil magic arts. Black clouds were billowing, and poisonous smoke filled the air. When they took action, they would cry like ghosts and wolves, with great momentum. There were even a few flying ones, as if they had farted and collapsed, and the fishy wind billowed in with a stench! It almost made Li Fan fall from the sky...

However, these monsters flew low and slow one by one, making a lot of noise with sand and dust. I don't know if they really only have this ability, or if they are so aggressive that they don't care about being noticed by others.

But Li Fan was really surprised. How could there be so many monsters in the non-mountain world? Is there something wrong with the dojo in Mashan?

And the people guarding the mountain actually don’t care? Could it be that all the people in the Immortal Palace are really busy doing exercises with the female monsters? No one is patrolling the mountain at all!

However, before he could deduce the cause and effect, Si Nan shook his head, UU Reading www. uukanshu.net pointed out Li Fan's opportunity.

Li Fan could tell at a glance that this was a chance, because the thing in front of him was too disgusting. It was so rare that it was so disgusting that it was almost impossible to be an ordinary thing. Even the system said that Li Fan's mood had dropped a bit.

How to describe it, from a distance, it looks like a pair of black snakes entwined together, kneaded layer by layer, forming a huge snake ball.

And the snake ball seemed to be stuck, stuck in the cracks of an open-pit mine. Many black and thick snake bodies almost stood upright, and were scattered and squirming to the outside world, but it seemed that the snake tails were entangled together by the snake balls. , so it was like a mess, tied together.

I heard that there are many vipers in the mountains, but in the snake nests in the cracks below, the vipers are mating and forming a group of snakes. Are there too many and they are stuck in the hole?

Li Fan avoided looking and used his brain to make a reasonable guess.

But the system sent him a message.

That's not a snake.

Not a snake?

Li Fan frowned and took another careful look.

Li Fan's mood dropped a little

It's really not a snake... it seems... it's a tentacle?

It looks a bit like a huge endless black seaweed, and a bit like a sea urchin with black tentacles dancing loosely. Most of its body is in the underground mine, and only a vague squirming head is revealed from the cracks in the rock layer.

Li Fan's mood dropped a little

System, what is this?

It's the lamb.
