Wet viviparity

Chapter 498: Lian Gu, by the Snow Pond
“These matters are related to the background of your great master, the Nine-Hooked Demon Lord, and your brothers and sisters are all unaware of them.

"I really love your talent, and I'm telling you today, but you must not spread it outside. If I hear anything about what happened today, I will definitely hold you accountable and punish you severely."

"Yes, master."

Ji Ming replied solemnly.

The old ancestor looked kind and loving as he gently stroked the top of Ji Ming's head, his face already showing a look of reminiscence.

"My ancestor entered Taoism when this dynasty was founded. I remember that was the fourth year of Daba Lingbi. The Lord of Ba was still a child emperor. The turmoil in the world had not yet been settled. The various sects in Taoism formed alliances, and the mortal world and the immortal world had just begun to settle down in the chaos.

At that time, my ancestor was a bandit leader in Pingyang Prefecture in the west.

I originally thought that there wouldn't be many people in that poor mountain village who would be willing to pay attention to it, so even though I wouldn't be able to live a good life, I wouldn't have to worry about starving to death.

But I didn't expect that my bandit's lair would be occupied by a shady gangster, who was bullying others, raping girls and playing with children, and performing evil rituals and magic. Fortunately, the shady gangster saw that I had some talent and was quick-witted, so he kept me by his side as a handyman.

After working as a handyman for a few months, I learned all his skills, but I still treated him as a master and let him enjoy himself for a few years.

After cutting off that evil path, the ancestor's heart was no longer in the worldly world. Later, he heard that there were countless anecdotes about immortals in the Northwest Shenzhu State, which was the most suitable place to seek immortals and learn the way.

At that time, the ancestor had just entered the Tao, and his mind was full of thoughts of becoming an immortal. He did not inquire about the situation in Shenzhu State in advance. He did not know that this state has always been known as the Cold Desert State, and it is a land with no people for thousands of miles.

In that state, the ancestor survived a life-and-death experience before returning. Not only did he not see any immortals, he even didn’t see any monsters.

In this way, the ancestor lived shamelessly for decades, and experienced all the bitterness of practicing as a solitary person. Unexpectedly, when he finally visited Shi Lianggong in Xihuang Xiantai Mountain, he met Master Jiu Gou, who had just graduated from Guangming Xianque. "

As he spoke, the old ancestor's face was full of sighs.

That period of time was when the old dynasty was just replaced by the new dynasty. Calamities occurred frequently and all the immortals fell. Not to mention that he was a casual cultivator at the lowest level at that time. The word "hardship" was simply not enough to describe the suffering.

"Your master took pity on me for being trapped in the sea of ​​suffering for a long time, but my heart of Taoism was not sunk. He attached great importance to me and brought me to the Bright Fairy Palace to live for a while.

At that time, the Bright Fairy Palace was built by the "White Lotus Dakini Patriarch". It was built in the snow pool north of the Shenzhu Mountain and had a protective shield made of ten thousand years of black frost. Living in it was like living in a fairyland.

The White Lotus Dakini Master is a first-class extraordinary person in the world. He practices both Buddhism and Taoism and is famous throughout the world. He has long since achieved the fruit of the celestial immortal. He stayed in the world only because there were many disasters in the world at that time. He needed to use his great magic power to eliminate the souls of the dead and suppress several giant monsters and old demons of the time.

Your great master also came at the right time. His mother was originally a female demon who was suppressed in the palace.

This female demon had once been in Liling, and had accidentally been poisoned by the aphrodisiac energy of the precious Gu in Pankui's treasured "Happy Bag", which led to her becoming pregnant through spiritual intercourse and secretly getting pregnant.

The White Lotus Dakini Patriarch thought that your master was born pure and had not committed any sins, so he thought that the heavens would spare his life and save him from death. However, he was born with a different body, which was in line with the mysteries of magic. If he was not educated, he would become a great demon in the future, so he was taken into the palace. "

When Ji Ming heard this, he thought it was strange. This old man Ku Ma seemed to look down on his master and there was a kind of contempt in his words.

He secretly took note of this and continued to listen carefully. This matter involved the Nine-Hooked Demon Lord, one of the two elders of the sacred mountain, and a story about a celestial being from the previous dynasty. Even in Taiping Mountain, it was hard to hear about it.

When Old Ancestor Ku Ma saw the vague shadow of a mountain reaching up to the sky ahead, he knew that Shenzhu Mountain had arrived and he slightly quickened his speech.

"Although your master and the White Lotus Sky Walker Patriarch were not master and disciple in name, they were indeed master and disciple in reality. Before the Patriarch ascended to heaven, he said that your master's place of practice was in the southern part of the sky, so he only sealed this palace in the snow pool, hoping that the great power of the divine pillar snow pool would cleanse the millions of souls in the palace.

Later, the fairy Snow Lotus came across the Bright Fairy Palace in the pond and deduced that her fate as a celestial being must be in the palace. So she made great efforts, gave up the fruits of her thousand years of hard practice, and turned her calamity into this Bright Fairy Palace, calling herself "Kong Lao Lian Gu".

Because she inherited the immortal palace foundation of the White Lotus Dakini Patriarch, she was grateful for the kindness and always hoped to repay him in part, so she respected your master, the Nine-Hooked Demon King, as her senior brother and was determined to guide him to be good and to complete the unfinished work of the master.

Unexpectedly, your master was determined to exercise his power in the world. In the early years of the Daba Dynasty, he teamed up with the Yunyu Temple to cause a big disturbance in Tiannan. The demonic calamity spread to the southern part of Tiannan, and even Tian Aizi of Taiping Mountain suffered an incurable injury. He was unable to transform his body into a corpse and avert the calamity, so he had to endure the pain and wait for death on the mountain.

Fortunately, that dwarf has trained the current Taoist master with double pupils who is now famous in the southern part of the world. I guess he should have no regrets before he dies."

"Tian Shorty!"

It was rare for Ji Ming to hear about Master Lu Daojun, and he was filled with emotion.

Sometimes the same thing, the same person, when heard on Taiping Mountain and when heard from outsiders, gives completely different feelings.

Before Ji Ming could savor this feeling, the ancestor pointed forward and said, "We are outside the snow pond ahead. There is a hundred-foot wind screen made of ten thousand years of black frost. Come with me and pray in front of the screen, and wait for the spirit in the fairy palace to come out and lead us."

The old ancestor paused at this point, then whispered: "Remember to be sweet-mouthed later. When I was young, I was so sweet-mouthed that your uncle-grandmaster took notice of me and taught me carefully for a period of time. I benefited a lot from it."

Ji Ming had a strange expression on his face, thinking that he was not the kind of person who would flatter anyone except the local master.

Amid the continuous snow-capped mountains and cliffs, white mist lingers on the peaks, and the Tianchi Lake is like a piece of blue colored glaze embedded in a spot on the mountainside.

There were clouds floating on the water, and it was hard to tell whether the clouds fell into the water and turned into white fish, or the fish jumped into the sky and turned into clouds. A few black-necked cranes were standing on one leg in the shallows, pecking at the reflection of the iceberg bit by bit.

Occasionally, a snow lotus can be seen in the cracks of the rocks, with last year's frost still on its petals.

The two landed in front of the pond, and a frosty wind suddenly blew up from the Xun position. The wind was hazy and pulled up a veil beside the snow pond to cover the snow pond. Gradually, a heavy rain came from the sky, and it was blown into hail before it fell.

The falling hailstones created millions of dimples on the pond, and the entire pond was shaking.

The back of a yak emerged from the fog in the east, while in the west, half of the sky was clear and bright. A rainbow pierced directly into the water from a cliff, as if scooping up a handful of colorful stars. Ji Ming was stunned for a moment and even forgot to pray with the ancestor.

"Come in and talk."

The Wanzai Xuanshuang Wind Screen separated from the front, and a voice floated in.

Ji Ming was listening carefully to the sound when the old ancestor pulled him down to bow and raised his fist, saying, "I, your disciple, pay my respects to my uncle-master. I wish you a long life and eternal happiness."

"Haha, you little brat. You have been practicing Taoism for nearly a thousand years and have already gone through the calamity of corpse transformation, but you are still so smooth-talking. There is no trace of immortal character in your body."

The old ancestor shook his sleeves and clasped his fists, bowing continuously. At the same time, he stepped forward and said with a hearty laugh, "This disciple is here to congratulate Uncle Master. Our lineage has a new immortal seedling. I brought it here specially for Uncle Master to see today."

As the old man Ku Ma said this, he signaled with his eyes that Ji Ming should show off his eloquence and say some nice words.
