The Monk

Chapter 5 Zhang Ai and Black Bird ()

The first thing I did when I returned to the hut was to make myself a vest. There were many small pockets on the vest. I put the snake eggs in the pockets one by one and sewed them up. I planned to wear it close to my body. Anyway, this thing is not afraid of pressure and can be worn to sleep. Zhulei belonged to Snake's mother, so Zhang Wen sewed Zhulei on his vest, no matter how he said it, it was a reunion of mother and son. Then sew soft armor on the outside. After wearing it, apart from looking bloated, there is nothing wrong with it.

After everything was done and Zhang was free, he started to get scared again. He was afraid that the hatched snake would eat him, so he wanted to throw away the eggs, but he was reluctant to do so.

He was worried about gains and losses, when Zhenru Sect Leader and Zhentian Taoist arrived. Zhang Weijing hurriedly dropped the soft armor in his hand and went out to meet him. Taoist Zhentian looked a little bad, probably because of saving Zhenyi. He asked Zhang Ping: "Hongwu, have you moved the snake corpse?"

Zhang was afraid to answer honestly: "No."

Taoist Zhentian asked the leader: "Brother, go in and see that monster?" The leader of Zhenru thought about it and said, "No need, the restrictions on the beast refining cauldron are all broken. It's better to take out the cauldron and reset the restrictions. As for the big snake corpse, with you My ability is probably impossible to refine." He shook his head slightly as he spoke and walked into the Cave of Beasts alone. After a while, he came out again, holding a four-legged square tripod in his hand.

The leader of Zhenru put the cauldron on the ground and said to Taoist Zhentian: "Put it away. When the elders come out of seclusion, let them set up restrictions again. I just want to ask if the snake skin can be refined."

The cauldron became smaller, and the snake corpse in the cauldron also became smaller. Taoist Zhentian looked at it and saw that there were no injuries on the snake corpse. It was estimated that the inner elixir was still there. He waved his big sleeve and put away the beast refining cauldron according to the master's instructions.

The head of Zhenru turned around and looked at Zhang Awei. After a quick look, he knew that his cultivation level was still in the middle level of Qi refining. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and said casually: "Practice well." Zhang Awei bowed and said yes. The master of Zhenru ignored him and paid no attention to him. The Heavenly Daoist flew into the sky.

Only Zhenyi, Zhenru, and Zhentian knew how much it cost to subdue the big snake. In the end, they failed and both sides suffered losses.

What Zhang Ain saw was that the big snake was dead, the ban on the beast refining cauldron was broken, but what he didn't see was that the Tianluo Umbrella was destroyed, the soul-stealing bell and the flying sword were also destroyed, and the golden elixir of the true Taoist exploded.

In the cave at that time, the big snake was bound. Generally, monsters are bound and know how to cherish life. After being separated from their souls by the beast refining cauldron and refined into spirit beads, they all choose to obey. The big snake is different. It is a species in the world and the king of snakes. It has a violent and resolute temperament. It is extremely difficult to conceive for such a magical creature, and once conceived, it will lay more than a hundred eggs. More than a hundred snake eggs are produced by sperm and blood, so the female snake's magic power decreases greatly during pregnancy, and only one out of ten is left. Although the big snake lays many eggs, they are not easy to hatch. Only two or three out of a hundred can hatch successfully.

Shinichi and others accidentally caught a pregnant snake whose power was greatly reduced. Although they were surprised that its power was slightly lower, they thought it was caused by injury and did not expect it to be pregnant. After a year of trying to make a promise, I finally decided to take the training. I asked Taoist Zhentian to borrow the magic weapon Tianluo Umbrella, and borrowed the Great Return Pill from my fellow sect, and came to refine the beast with confidence.

After a fight, the Orochi was trapped with a restraint to refine the spirit control beads. Unexpectedly, the Orochi would rather die than obey, and actually split the Yuan Shen into two parts. One part of the Yuan Shen used the Yuan Shen Escape Body to destroy himself and the enemy. Most of the soul sneaks into the fetal belly, overdrafting life and urging the snake eggs to mature and leave the body earlier.

When the big snake Yuan Shen exploded, the real Taoist people saw something was wrong and hurriedly hid behind the Tianluo Umbrella, and then condensed the golden elixir to form a protective armor for protection. However, the Yuanbao was too powerful, and the Tianluo Umbrella and the The protective golden elixir was destroyed together, leaving him with only one life left to linger. Zhang was afraid that he would know everything about what happened next.

After this incident, Zhang Ai's mind was filled with questions. He questioned how the ferocious snake was captured, what the snake was, how it could lay eggs even after it died, how uncle Zhenyi was injured, and the spiritual power of snake eggs. How to enter your own body, how to hatch snake eggs, and whether you will still be alive after hatching snake eggs...

There are too many questions and I get a headache thinking about them, so I simply put them aside and concentrate on practicing. Wouldn’t it be a waste to be full of spiritual energy but not practice? The funny thing is that he only knows that there is a lot of spiritual energy in his body, but he has no idea how much it is. This time I meditated for a month. When he opened his eyes again, his cultivation level had reached the top level of Qi refining.

After scanning the whole body with his spiritual consciousness, Zhang Aizhi couldn't believe it. Not only his meridians had broadened a lot, but his inner breath had also become thicker and thicker. He couldn't help but smile up at the sky. He actually jumped directly from the middle level of Qi Refining to the top level. It was too easy. , Zhang was very happy.

Of course, I have to thank the snake eggs for this effect. I took the soft armor and looked at the snake eggs. They were still white and pulsating, with no other changes.

In the days that followed, I still guarded the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts alone, except for practicing and playing with the puppies. He is still timid to death, afraid of thunder, and even more uneasy about hundreds of snake eggs.

One month later, Hongcheng Hongtu returned to Xintian Yao, and the two of them seemed very excited. After putting the spirit-controlling bead back into the shrine, he didn't forget to talk about it. Zhang was afraid to walk and listen at the same time, and got a general idea in a daze.

A few days ago, there was a Qi Refining Conference held every five years in the Yueguo Zhengdao Cultivation World. Masters who had reached the top level during the Qi Refining Period came to participate. Most of these people suffer from the inability to build a foundation, and want to improve their realm and successfully build a foundation through discussions, exchange of experiences, or exchange of magic weapons.

In this conference, Tianlei Taoist Temple actually sent more than 300 people to participate. It is indeed the largest cultivation sect in the Yue Kingdom. There are more than 300 disciples who have reached the top level in the Qi Refining Period alone.

It is said that thousands of people participated in the conference, exchanging skills, exchanging magic weapons, and so on. There is also a private competition arena. Some sects have rather strange practice methods, which must be practiced in actual combat.

The conference lasted for seven days and was held at Jinshui Lake. There are rumors that Jinshui Lake is full of aura, there are rumors that there are monsters in Jinshui Lake, and there are rumors that gods live in Jinshui Lake. However, these are just rumors and no one has ever seen them. However, the seven-day conference held every five years is fixed here.

Hongcheng obviously gained a lot from the meeting. He smiled, walked with a breeze, and wanted to spar with Hongtu. Hong Tu ignored him and rambled here and there. One moment he said the elixirs from Lingshan Sect were good, the next he said the magic spells from Wanfa Sect were wonderful, and then he talked about the magic weapons and armors in Bailian Valley that were really good.

Zhang Ying's heart was moved when he heard it. He thought of the big snake with snow-white scales. He really missed it. It's a pity that it wasn't his own, otherwise he would have used it to refine armor. However, I have snake eggs, and after they hatch, they will have snake skins, but that’s fine. Do I need to kill the snakes after they are raised? No, no, no, what if the snake eats me first after it hatches? ... Timid people like to think wildly.

He missed his, Hongcheng Hongtu left with his sword. Zhang Wei secretly scolded himself, why do you think so much about useless things? However, he didn't know if it would be useful. He was really worried about being bitten by a snake, so he simply decided not to wear the snake egg soft armor and threw it back into the house, where it was piled with the tattered armor.

Since reaching the top level of the Qi Refining Realm, Zhang Fei feels that his whole body has endless energy, full of energy, and his senses have become more sensitive. I was meditating that day when I vaguely heard the roar of beasts coming from the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. Zhang Ai's first reaction was fear. He quickly hid in the room, closed the doors and windows tightly, and then looked out through the cracks in the windows.

In fact, it was just two ordinary ferocious beasts fighting in the forest. Yi Zhang was afraid of his skills and could handle them very easily, but he was just afraid. After looking through the window for a long time, there was no sign of the beast. However, the roar of the beast gradually subsided. After guessing that it was gone, I felt relieved, drank a bowl of water to calm down, and planned to take a rest. But I heard a sneer, and a crisp voice came into my ears: "Such an adult is still afraid of small animals?"

Zhang Ping's calm heart started beating violently again: "Who? Who's talking?" He pulled out his dagger and hid in the corner, looking around.

"You are really embarrassing, immortal cultivator. A top-level master in the Qi refining stage actually used an ordinary dagger to defend himself. If word spreads, all the Taoist priests in Tianlei Mountain will have to commit suicide."

"Come out, come out quickly, I see you!" Zhang Xing shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Well, you saw me, let me show you." Following the voice, a black bird appeared out of thin air. It was as long as an arm from head to tail. Its feathers were shiny black, and its little head was full of expressions of contempt and disdain. It was too lazy to Exposing Zhang Awei's lies, he tilted his head and looked at Zhang Awei: "You saw me, are you touched?"
