It's Liao Zhai, not Cthulhu

Ge Hong, a famous doctor and Taoist who wrote "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescriptions" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, has two stories about bigu in his "Baopuzi Duisu Pian".

One of them is that in a certain county, a man named Zhang Guangding hid his four-year-old daughter in an ancient tomb with a vertical hole when he was fleeing the war, leaving only dry food and water enough to survive for several months.

When I came back three years later, I thought my daughter was dead, but when I went to collect her body, I was pleasantly surprised to find that she was still alive.

After asking, she found out that after she ran out of food, she felt hungry, so she stretched her neck and exhaled like an animal in the tomb, and she no longer felt hungry.

Zhang Guangding found the breathing animal, which turned out to be a big turtle.

Those who eat qi, the gods are immortal, and the tortoise eats qi, which is equivalent to bigu. With this spiritual appearance, Xuanyuan Goudan came into contact with bigu qi in advance.

Moreover, Xuanyuan Goudan can feel that his spiritual form also has its own spiritual power. After this energy-eating ability is combined with spiritual power, his basalt tortoise phase begins to absorb other dragon's energy from a distance.

If the guess is correct, these dragon qi should be the remaining dragon qi of the frontier royal family, and Xuanyuan Goudan is not at all embarrassed about this.

The king of a country doesn't even care about his own children, so it's useless whether the country needs dragon energy, anyway, sooner or later it will lose everything, so it's better to take advantage of yourself.

However, Xuanyuan Zhenwu didn't find out that apart from the remaining dragon energy of the border royal family over there, there was also the remaining dragon energy belonging to the palace.

So after the turtle phase absorbed all the dragon energy, it also turned into a dragon turtle.

This golden dragon turtle has a golden turtle shell on its back, with golden scales all over its body, and the original head of the snapping turtle has also turned into a dragon head. It seems that this dragon turtle has the appearance of a bully.

Although the tyrant and the turtle are very similar, there are differences when you look closely. The tyrant has a row of teeth, but the turtle does not. The number and shape of the carapace are also different between the tyrant and the turtle.

The tortoise turned into the overlord's form, and Xuanyuan Goudan could feel some changes in the overlord's form of himself and the spiritual form.

Infinite strength is one of them, and the other seems to be the ability to control water.

For Xuanyuan Zhenwu, having infinite strength is quite good. After acquiring the ability of infinite strength, Xuanyuan Goudan can feel that the muscles on his body first began to expand, and then slowly condensed. Let Xuanyuan Goudan's figure show a qualitative change.

He is about two meters tall and weighs about 280 jins. However, these 280 jins are not fat, but muscles that have been condensed and refined to a certain peak, with both endurance and explosive power. Muscle groups such as the abdominal muscles, pelvic floor muscles, and rectus abdominis, obliques, lower back, and erector spinae are full of strength.

Therefore, Xuanyuan Zhenwu's current figure can clearly see the muscle outline even if he wears loose clothes.

This is really strong, which even makes Simu wonder if Xuanyuan Zhenwu can kill monsters and ghosts with just one punch, just like the master of the four brothers and sisters.

As for the ability to control water, it needs water, so he didn't pay attention to this supernatural ability to control water.

As for the snake form, it quickly sucked up all the corpse and demon energy of the corpse demon, and the snake form turned into a pure black giant anaconda, and the giant anaconda wrapped around Ba Xia, becoming a new basalt spirit form .

And this giant anaconda and snake did not provide Xuanyuan Zhenwu with any ability, probably because he had not reached the level.

Although there are no new abilities, Xuanyuan Zhenwu can feel that his resistance to these negative energy things such as monster energy and corpse energy has been greatly improved, so he has gained something.

But this new Xuanwu Spirit Aspect looks very good.

The Turtle and Snake are in perfect balance, which is the perfect balance of Yin and Yang.

After absorbing it, Xuanwu Lingxiang flew to the back of Xuanyuan Goudan contentedly.

Appearing on the back of the grimace is a tattoo of Xuanwu, which is the image of Xuanwu's spirit.

On the slender muscle edges and corners of the ghost's back, the light angles are also different. This light angle creates the illusion that the basalt spirit figure seems to be alive.

However, this basalt spirit is alive, and it cannot be described as an "illusion".

"This spirit is really useful." Xuanyuan Zhenwu thought, "I don't know what will be on the third floor."

The crisis has disappeared, and the four eyes have quietly moved over.

"Martial nephew, sometimes everyone has secrets, and it's my uncle. I won't ask. Don't let others discover this secret. If it's someone with evil intentions, it will be terrible. "Simu said to Xuanyuan Goudan.

The four eyes want Xuanyuan Zhenwu not to make too much publicity in the future, after all, he may really be the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu, perhaps to cope with the disaster, but it is uncertain, if exposed, it may cause unnecessary troubles.

But Goudan seemed to get it wrong, so Goudan came up with an excuse.

"Uncle, during this period of time, I have been practicing "Yuehua Ninghun Jue" and master's "Mao Dao Shenquan". " and "Yin Hua Congealing Soul Jue" combined to form a new exercise "Yin Yang Ling". The basalt is called Ling Xiang by me, and it is the ability to cultivate "Yin Yang Ling" to reach the second level. As for eating Those talisman treasures are the abilities of the first level." Xuanyuan Zhenwu said it without any hesitation.

The birth of spiritual knowledge allowed Xuanyuan Zhenwu to roughly figure out a person's nature. The three veteran seniors present are all good people. Although there are flaws in their personalities, there is no doubt that they are all good people.

So Xuanyuan Zhenwu didn't shy away from telling the three of them this news, but after all, the existence of Qianhong was hard to explain, so Xuanyuan Goudan replaced Qianhong with his "talent".

Very classic and familiar "I can get to this day all by myself."

After hearing the news, four eyes, Qianzuru and Ikkyu were also shocked.

"What kind of genius is this?" The three of them didn't have any doubts about Xuanyuan Zhenwu's words.

But after thinking about his apprentice, he couldn't help but feel a little sour.

Chapter Forty-Three Youth Mind

"God, no, Zhenwu, did you really create this "Yin Yang Spirit" yourself?" Uncle Jiu changed his name to Xuanyuan Zhenwu.

"Yes, master, as long as you don't blame me for eating the treasure you gave me." Xuanyuan Zhenwu said apologetically.

"Hahahaha, why should I blame you? If you take in a talented apprentice like you, even if you eat all the unimportant treasures of the Maodaoshan School, no one will blame you." Uncle Jiu joked , but the color of joy in the eyes has not diminished in the slightest.

After all, Uncle Jiu learned from Simu that Xuanyuan Zhenwu not only helped Qianhe survive the catastrophe, but also created a new kung fu by integrating and merging himself, and also had the vision of Zhenwu descending to the mortal world.

Uncle Jiu didn't know that he had picked up a treasure. If it is really confirmed that Xuanyuan Zhenwu is related to Emperor Zhenwu, the smallest one would say that the entire Maodaoshan faction would receive blessings, and the older one would say that Xuanyuan Zhenwu would inherit Zhenwu and destroy demons The function of Tianzun is to wipe out all the evil spirits in this world, and restore the world to a bright and peaceful world.

Even if Xuanyuan Zhenwu has nothing to do with Emperor Zhenwu, this talent has been surpassed by no one, even his senior brother Shi Jian is not as talented as Xuanyuan Zhenwu.

"Actually, although we cultivators have advantages in comprehension, we have to realize the Tao. If it is said that cultivating the Tao for a thousand years is not as good as becoming a demon with one thought, and becoming a demon with one thought is not as good as enlightening the Tao overnight, so we can pass the mystery after enlightenment. However, we The disadvantages of cultivators are also obvious." Uncle Jiu said.

Human cultivators do not have the tyrannical physical strength of aliens, nor do they have the supernatural powers of alien beasts, holy beasts, and spirit beasts that are born in myths and legends to control the power of heaven and earth.

"Our human nature is not enough to compare with those powerful beasts, but we can use tools to change the terrain, and even change the world." Uncle Jiu said, and then said,

"This is 'a gentleman is born with no difference, good and false are more than things', so things like magic weapons and magic tools are just foreign things. Before your strength reaches a certain height, they are a powerful arm. When you The strength of your body has reached a certain height, but it is like a tiger with wings added. It's just that we can't rely too much on external things, and we are the biggest treasure house, so your ability is actually very good. Eat those treasures and turn your body into a body. The body of a magic treasure talisman, in short, is a human-shaped magic treasure talisman, which is actually very convenient. "Ninth Uncle said to Xuanyuan Zhenwu.

"So master, you don't blame me." Xuanyuan Zhenwu breathed a sigh of relief, he was already prepared for Uncle Jiu to be angry.

After all, he said he only ate one bite, but he ate it all.

True Fragrance Theorem never disappoints.

"Speaking of which, Master, why don't you practice it too, I have already taught this exercise to my two uncles, Master, why don't you practice it too?" Xuanyuan Zhenwu persuaded.

"Wait for me to ask your master for instructions." Uncle Jiu nodded, then walked to the portrait of his master, burned three sticks of fresh incense, and said something in a low voice.

After a while, Uncle Jiu walked up to Xuanyuan Zhenwu and nodded, which meant that the master agreed.

So Xuanyuan Zhenwu and Jiu Shu both laughed meaningfully.

It seems predictable that the Maodao Mountain School will update a batch of basic exercises in the future.

A powerful basic skill.

Then this period of time passed in a hurry, and the days were ordinary, but during this period of time Dong Xiaoyu had been secretly watching Xuanyuan Zhenwu outside the Yizhuang.

And what Xuanyuan Zhenwu didn't expect was that Uncle Jiu took in Hou Jie's family, and also accepted Hou Shengnan and Ren Tingting as his apprentice, so he had two more junior sisters, although Ren Tingting is a few years older than Xuanyuan Zhenwu , but in terms of ranking, Ren Tingting is still smaller.

As for why Uncle Jiu accepted these two girls as apprentices, we have to start with the time he asked for a talisman.

Generally speaking, after inviting the gods, the gods invited will leave, and the carrier that bears the gods to come to the world, that is, people, will lose a lot of physical strength to collapse, so Uncle Jiu did not use the invite charm on himself, but Uncle Jiu used it as a spellcasting talisman. For those who are concerned, they must also bear the consumption.

But there will also be a small probability situation. The small probability situation is that the invited god will give some benefits to the bearer, and there are four people who get the benefits.

Qiusheng invited the Monkey King, Monkey King gifted Qiusheng with spiritual power to improve his body and make his body stronger. This spiritual power will continue to strengthen Qiusheng's body until the day of Qiusheng's death.

And Wencai invited Erlangshen, Erlangshen directly helped Wencai to open the sky eye, maybe because Wencai was too weak, he opened Wencai's sky eye.

The celestial eye has complete functions, and when it is cultivated to the depth, all phenomena can be clearly seen in the past and future of time.

And this can only be achieved after a certain level of practice. For now, the level that Wencai's heavenly eye can achieve is to see through, and it can't see too much.

This level is the ability to see the layer of clothing inside a layer of clothing.

In addition to perspective, it also has the function of breaking illusions, that is to say, it can detect illusions. This auxiliary ability can be said to be very good.

The other one is the offensive ability. Tianyan can gather the Dao power in the body, condense the Dao power into a ball of golden light and shoot it out. This ball of golden light has a very powerful lethality, although it consumes a lot.

But in any case, Wencai has found a treasure.

In addition, there are Hou Shengnan and Ren Tingting who have been accepted as junior sisters.

Hou Shengnan invited Nezha, the great god of the Santan Haihui. What Nezha left in Hou Shengnan's body was divine power. Although it was only a tiny trace, this trace was enough to make up for all of Hou Shengnan's congenital deficiencies and acquired losses. , and then this trace of divine power has not dissipated.

The divine power that has not dissipated has improved Hou Shengnan's qualifications, and it is also entrenched in Hou Shengnan's dantian. Uncle Jiu couldn't bear to waste this divine power, so he sought the consent of Hou Jie and Yan Xi before accepting Hou Shengnan.

And what Ren Tingting invited was Doumu Yuanjun, who is not only the mother of the nine stars, but also the master of all things in the world.

After Ren Tingting invited Doumu Yuanjun, Ren Tingting's body was also transformed by Doumu Yuanjun into a star-friendly physique. This star-friendly physique does not refer to a single star, but all the stars.

The Maodao Mountain sect has a secret art of star accumulation, all that is needed is the absorption of star power, and after this star power has been absorbed to a certain stage, the secret art of star accumulation will form a map of star accumulation in the soul.

This is what the clichéd Emperor of Heaven said again. According to what the Emperor of Heaven said in myths and legends, every soul has a unique memory engraving inherited from ancient times. This engraving contains ancient star power and life. Secrets, and form a specific image, this image is called the star map by people who practice Taoism.

By absorbing the star power of the essence of the three lights of the sun, moon and stars, a cultivator can transform the secret art of the star cluster into a map of the star cluster, and then use the star power to awaken the power hidden in the star cluster and use it for his own use.

And Doumu Yuanjun changed Ren Tingting's body into a star-friendly body. Uncle Jiu felt that it should not be wasted, so he asked Master Ren for permission.

Master Ren also readily agreed. After all, Master Ren also thought about it carefully. What he encountered during this period was all about ghosts and gods. If she is successful, she can save herself. If she can't save herself, it's okay for Ren Tingting to be able to save herself. In Master Ren's opinion at this moment, learning the Tao is much more useful than learning other things.

So just like that, Uncle Nine took in two new female apprentices, not to mention the fact that he didn't pay attention to the difference between men and women, so the matter was settled like this.

But this has nothing to do with Xuanyuan Zhenwu, and Xuanyuan Zhenwu doesn't care too much. During this period of time, everyone is working hard to cultivate. It should be because of those things that they have experienced, so they have become assiduous.

"So, Miss Xiaoyu, what are you doing peeking at me all the time?" Xuanyuan Zhenwu yelled towards the outside of the fence and asked, "If you want to come in, we don't disagree."

"Really?" After hearing the last sentence, Dong Xiaoyu poked her head out of the fence with a smile on her face, and asked Xuanyuan Zhenwu cheerfully.

"Really, come in." Xuanyuan Zhenwu said, looking at Dong Xiaoyu helplessly.

To be honest, Xuanyuan Zhenwu is also somewhat used to having Dong Xiaoyu by his side. If Dong Xiaoyu was missing suddenly, Xuanyuan Zhenwu would not be used to it.

However, he felt a little ashamed because of his own thoughts, after all, children are still young and don't understand what twisted love is.

But then again, how pretty are human and female ghosts?

"Why are you blushing?" Dong Xiaoyu asked Xuanyuan Zhenwu, and even reached out to touch Xuanyuan Zhenwu's face.

After touching it, Xuanyuan Zhenwu's blushing face felt a sense of coolness, and then he recovered a little.

In fact, Dong Xiaoyu gave him the feeling of swallowing lukewarm water, as if soaking in hot water with a suitable temperature.

Once you get used to the existence of this hot water, once you leave the hot water suddenly, there will still be a comfortable residual warmth on your body, but after a while, the residual warmth will dissipate, and then you will start to miss the existence of this hot water again.

So Xuanyuan Zhenwu felt that Dong Xiaoyu was by his side. Although he didn't show anything, Xuanyuan Zhenwu was actually quite comfortable in his heart.

"Xuanyuan, I think you've been acting weird lately." Dong Xiaoyu looked at Xuanyuan Zhenwu in a strange way.

"What's so strange?" Xuanyuan Zhenwu glanced at Dong Xiaoyu.

"It's strange everywhere, after all, you blushed just now, as if you met someone you like." Dong Xiaoyu.

"Huh?" Xuanyuan Zhenwu suddenly lost his voice, "Did you just say that you met someone you like?"

"Yes." Dong Xiaoyu said jealously, looking aggrieved, "Have you met someone you like?"

"...Maybe." Xuanyuan Zhenwu said in silence, he didn't know what to say, but he was quite silent.

【Do I really like Dong Xiaoyu? 】

"Xuanyuan, what's wrong with you?" Dong Xiaoyu asked Xuanyuan Zhenwu with some concern.

"It's nothing, don't ask, I'll just calm down by myself." Xuanyuan Zhenwu's face was as usual, but it was red with embarrassment.

"Oh." Dong Xiaoyu floated away reluctantly, leaving only Xuanyuan Zhenwu sitting cross-legged on the spot.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Zhenwu had a lot of things on his mind.

"Dong Xiaoyu is suitable to be a wife, but it's a pity... No, why should I think about such a thing, I'm a little strange recently?" Xuanyuan Zhenwu said strangely to himself.

"Maybe spring is coming soon." Uncle Jiu appeared behind Xuanyuan Zhenwu at some point, and said with a half-smile.

"Uh." Xuanyuan Zhenwu kept his mouth shut and looked up at the sky.

Which boy does not have a spring?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Zhenwu, sweep the snow at the door." Uncle Jiu said to Xuanyuan Zhenwu, and threw a broom and a dustpan to Xuanyuan Zhenwu.

"Understood, Master." Xuanyuan Zhenwu took the broom and dustpan and nodded, then walked to the door to clear away the snow.

This snowfall came so suddenly, just overnight, the snow at the door reached people's ankles, but after all, it was also during the Chinese New Year, and the shards of those firecrackers were also mixed in the snow, so much appeared in a single white The crumbs are also uncomfortable to look at.

Uncle Jiu, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, ordered Xuanyuan Zhenwu to sweep the door.

It's just that as soon as Xuanyuan Zhenwu opened the door, he found a tightly wrapped sleeping baby at the door.

The baby was placed on the snow, and there was no snow on his body. It should have been placed at the gate of Yizhuang after the snow stopped. There was still some blood on the swaddle wrapped around the baby.

The bloodstains also stretched forward, and there were footprints, but Xuanyuan Zhenwu didn't catch up immediately, because there was a child here.
