There is a flat valley among the rolling foothills of Zhongnan Mountain.
This place is only ten miles away from the Taoist temples at the northern foot, but here, a special group of elves live. Since ancient times, humans and monsters have not disturbed each other and have not interfered with each other. The Taoist priests never go beyond the thunder pond, and the demon spirits never dare to go down the mountain at the northern foot.
This kind of harmonious picture of Taoist demons is a unique sight in Taoist temples and holy mountains all over the world.
Why is this happening? Because the monsters in this family are very special.
"Caomu Zhi" says that the king of beasts and monsters is a dragon or a fox, and the master of grass monsters is a spirit or a ginseng.
We all know the dragon and the fox, but what about the essence and ginseng among the grass demons?
??Actually, this refers to the two families of goblins and ginseng.
The ancestor of ground ginseng is not in Zhongnan Mountain, but in the Changbai land of white mountains and black waters. On the contrary, among the goblins, there is indeed a sect with Zhongnan Mountain as its ancestral court.
?????????????????????????????????????????????? The goblin is the flower of the earth¡¯s energy, white is the dragon¡¯s title and black is the shouwu. Before the dragon title attained enlightenment, it was called Huang Jing; before the Shou Wu transformed into a human form, it was called Polygonum multiflorum.
In other words, there are two kinds of goblins.
The faction in the south is Huang Jing, who is known as the Dragon Title, with Jiuhua Mountain as its ancestral court.
The group in the north is called Polygonum multiflorum, with Zhongnan Mountain as its ancestral court.
The Duohua Polygonum family in Zhongnan Mountain can be traced back to the Yan and Huang Dynasties, and can be regarded as a veritable "land household".
The Zhongnan Mountain Taoist Sect was first established in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Compared with the Duohua Liao family, they are considered juniors.
Therefore, the latecomer Zhongnanshan Taoism rarely interfered with the affairs of the Duohua Liao family.
In addition, as a top-grade grass demon, Polygonum multiflorum rarely engages in disgusting activities such as killing people and stealing goods. At most, it is nothing more than greed for fireworks in the world and getting involved in the world of mortals. Therefore, not only Zhongnan Mountain, but almost all Taoist sects rarely have too much entanglement with Polygonum polygonum.
It is precisely because of this that the Duohua Liao family owns half of the land in Zhongnan Mountain.
There is a sunny platform on the northernmost side of the valley bottom near the hillside. The surrounding trees are large and sparse, and the grass is dense and clean. It is very suitable for soaking in the wind and drinking dew.
On the platform, there is such a polygonum.
Her dense branches climb up to the top of the tree. There are dots of white flowers on the vines, blooming in the sunshine, like a piece of silver snow falling on the ground, or like a tree full of pear blossoms blooming.
Judging from the sea of ??flowers and her reed heads, it seems that she has been brewing for two to three hundred years, but in the Duohua Polygonum family, she is just a little girl waiting to ascend.
According to time, it was actually the time for her to transform three years ago.
But in the past three years, there has been a severe drought in Guanzhong, and the southeast wind and rain have not come yet, so she can only endure it like this.
In the evening, a bit of cool breeze finally blew through the hot air, and the valley began to become lively. The brothers and sisters of the same generation who took shape three years ago, like mushrooms after the rain, emerged from the soil on their own. Jumped out.
This is the benefit of changing form, you can go wherever you want.
But after waiting for a while, a whistling sound of wind suddenly came from the valley, and all the polygonate boys and girls quickly transformed into their original shapes and got into the soil.
Although she has not transformed yet, she also knows that this is a family rule. Once this sound is heard, it means that someone is haunting the area.
It¡¯s so late, why is there anyone here?
Everyone lay down in the soil and waited quietly.
Soon, she saw a Taoist priest coming down the cliff path.
This Taoist priest is already quite old, and they all know him. He is the supreme heavenly master of Qingxu Guan. He and Elder Hua Chan are good friends, and they often discuss Taoism together.
Who is Elder Hua Chan?
He is now the oldest patriarch of the Duohua Liao family, already over a thousand years old.
??????????????????? If you ask the Duohua Liao family members who started practicing cultivation in the Yanhuang era, why the elders are only more than a thousand years old, then we can only regret to say they were all killed by lightning.
It is said that the first generation of elders lived for more than 2,000 years. From holding beads to transforming, and from transforming to attaining enlightenment, everything went smoothly, but even if he did not become an immortal or a god, he would never be able to stop his aging process. Therefore, these elders from past generations had to fight to the death for "immortality".
But for thousands of years, none of these seniors have broken through the fate of the grass demon, and they have all been wiped out by thunder in the dust of history.
The Supreme Taoist Master looked solemn. He went to the small canyon where Elder Hua Chan lived alone. He only stayed for a while and then left in a hurry.
Then there was news that the supreme Taoist priest came just now to tell Elder Huachan that he had figured it out and that tonightThere will be a southeasterly wind blowing here, and a violent storm is coming.
This also means that Elder Huachan¡¯s day of salvation has come.
"Hey, Qingqiu, Qingdong, have you heard about it? There will be wind and rain blowing from the southeast tonight."
"Elder, can you two transform themselves even if you work hard?"
The two she is talking to are her brothers and sisters who are born in the same year as her. One is named Qingchun and the other is Qingxia. According to the year, the year they were born should have a clear character. Originally, the four of them were supposed to ascend and overcome the tribulation together, but due to their own negligence three years ago, they missed the storm and were delayed by the drought that followed. Therefore, they are originally one-year-old, but they have been in human form for three years.
"Me? I'd better forget it. I don't want to transform anyway, so it's good to be a small polygonum. When I live and when I die, it all depends on destiny."
Speaking of this, it is Qingdong who is closest to me. Originally, Qingdong and she were siblings who grew out of a vine in the ground, but Qingdong was born on a rock, and the soil was barren, and in the end he only grew into a small stature. This made him very Buddhist since he was a child. Sometimes, even the dewdrops and moonlight wouldn't attract him, and the tribesmen said there was no hope for him to transform.
"I don't want to be like you!" Qingqiu said: "How can I not turn into a human form and see this once in the next world? I don't want to be born in the mud forever."
"Qingqiu, when the wind and rain come tonight, you can't be afraid and straighten your neck. In short, as long as a bolt of thunder and fire sweeps over your head, you can transform!" Qingchun warned.
Qingxia on the side also said: "Yes, I'm just waiting for you to transform. Then the two of us will go down the mountain. I heard that the world is very prosperous"
"What's the benefit of going down the mountain!" Qingchun said immediately: "We are Polygonum, so we should practice in the mountain and one day ascend to godhood."
"Come on!" Qingxia said loudly: "After all this time, have you ever heard of a grass demon becoming a god? Have you ever heard of a grass demon becoming a god? I don't expect to become a god. Besides, I I don¡¯t think anyone can become a god.¡±
The two were arguing endlessly.
At this time, Yaopo came over and whispered: "You don't want to die? The elders are going to survive the tribulation, but you are still gossiping here. No one can become a god. Isn't this a curse? I see you don't want to live anymore. Hurry up and hide. Well, the storm is coming soon."
Qingchun and Qingxia stuck out their tongues at themselves, quickly returned to their "territory" and got into the soil.
"Qingqiu, Qingdong, don't listen to others, you must work hard to transform. As grass and trees, they have withered for hundreds of years. How can you transform and live hundreds of more years Even if you can't ascend to become a god, there is nothing wrong with it. !¡±
After Yao Po finished speaking, she also returned to her own realm.
Yaopo is their predecessor, she is already 500 years old. She has always believed that she will succeed in overcoming the disaster. But Qingqiu knew that her talent was not good. She was only more than two hundred years older than him, but her appearance was as old as Hua Chan.
"Boom!" Sure enough, there was a thunder from the southeast sky.
Then, like a flock of sheep returning home, black clouds began to gather over Zhongnan Mountain.
All the polygonums raised their heads, waiting for the long-lost rain.
Qingqiu didn¡¯t know how Elder Hua Chan was feeling now, but judging from the billowing black clouds that day, today didn¡¯t seem to be a good day.
Qingqiu tried her best to shake her long vines. She prayed silently, hoping that she could successfully transform.
"Boom!"
Just as she was encouraging herself, a bolt of thunder suddenly fell from the sky, and a stone pillar not far from her was split into two pieces on the spot.
That was a stone, and it fell apart instantly.
There were dark clouds, lightning and thunder, everything happened too fast.
The sky suddenly turned dark for thousands of miles around, and all the creatures on the ground were prostrate on the ground. Qingqiu, who had always thought of transformation as simple, shrank away at this time (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
