Wet viviparity

Chapter 60: Arrangement, Armored Snake
Traces of smoke spread outward from the cave entrance, making the rocks and broken wood look like they were covered with a layer of coal ash. There were also traces of a giant snake crawling here, proving the departure of some giant creature.

Ji Ming, Jin Ni Yuan, Wen Dao Yu, and Chi Yi Lang Jun sat together in front of the cave like close friends.

At their feet, there were many flags used to deploy the troops. Most of them were badly damaged, and only a few of them had red snake scales patched up the holes.

A hairy foot seemed to step on the command flags accidentally, and kicked the flags casually, and even kicked them directly to Chiyi Langjun.

Ji Ming couldn't stand Jin Nie Yuan's childish provocation and turned his head away.

"You have to thank Fei Wu!" The red-helmeted Chi Yi Lang Jun said softly, "If he hadn't lured me here, you would never have been able to break through this incomplete illusion array in such a short time."

The Golden Lion Ape had an unnatural expression on his face, and quietly retracted his hairy feet that were kicking the command flag.

He had to admit that what this loyal man said made sense.

If the Centipede brothers had not risked their lives, it would have been difficult for them, one a reckless man and the other seriously injured, to break through the illusion array in front of the enemy, even though the illusion array had been broken by Wen Daoyu and his men.

"monkey."

“Squeak!” The veins on the Golden Lion Ape’s forehead popped out. In the Hengshan area, no, in the Lanyin area, no one dared to call him a monkey to his face. “I call your grandfather the Golden Lion Ape.”

Chi Yi Lang Jun was not angry at being contradicted by Jin Ni Yuan, but laughed happily.

He was well aware that he had a gloomy personality and it was difficult for him to make close friends with ordinary people. On the contrary, he had a fondness for those who were simple-minded and chivalrous. Perhaps the more he lacked something, the more he was attracted to those things.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the centipede monster. He felt that this deep-minded monster was probably of the same kind as himself.

“Golden Lion Ape,” Young Master Chiyi called out, pointing at the corpse of Monk Dayou and saying, “In a battle of life and death, you deserved to die. You are also a god of mountains and rivers, so you must understand this principle!”

"Humph!"

The Golden Lion Ape turned his head away and ignored Pan Zuodao.

He had heard of Chiyi Langjun's reputation and secret skills. Although he took him seriously, he felt that he could compete with him. But when they actually met and saw the snake fairy that the other party had refined into his body, he realized how powerful the other party was.

A small detail can reveal a big picture; many things are like thunder in the silence.

The Golden Lion Ape secretly guessed that Chiyi Langjun deliberately hid his head and showed his tail during the fight because he was afraid that the information revealed by the changes in his physical body would scare them, his prey.

Ji Ming withdrew his gaze from the cave, glanced at the traces of the big snake crawling outside the cave, and then looked at Chi Yi Lang Jun and said: "The candle python in the cave has retreated. Now that you have explored the cave, do you have any ideas?"

"I have a lot of ideas." Chi Yi Lang Jun said seriously, "I think first we need to check the information at hand and sort out the messy thoughts in our heads."

"Yes."

Wen Daoyu rarely spoke and agreed.

Then he looked at Ji Ming again, and then held down his two severely injured calves, "Mr. Chiyi, do you know why I agreed to cooperate with you, a person from a side sect?"

"Because I am Mr. Chiyi, apart from the Taoist priests who have received the dharma ordination in your Taiping Mountain, there are really few people in the other altars and courtyards that I am interested in."

"That's one of them you mentioned."

Wen Daoyu was very calm and agreed with the unorthodox words, saying: "There is another reason, because Fellow Daoist Wu was willing to take a risk to make this happen, which was not easy. Maybe he himself did not realize the difficulty."

"Ok!"

Chiyi Langjun nodded in acknowledgment.

Ji Ming felt relieved. With the combination of the orthodox path and the side door, plus the presence of a local demon, such cooperation was extremely fragile. Fortunately, there was a powerful external factor (Sibeiyun Temple) that enabled the cooperation to continue.

Sharing what we have with each other now is an excellent start.

Until now, Ji Ming could not imagine that he would be willing to take risks for the sake of a celestial being and persuade Chi Yi Lang Jun to cooperate. Thinking back on it now, he just felt a pang of fear.

As expected, greed can blind one's mind, and Ji Ming cannot escape this truth.

"Let me tell you first!"

With a look of nostalgia, Chi Yi Lang Jun said: "Although the prophecy of Liu Liu's rebellion has long been spread secretly, no one can understand its meaning. I came here because of the unusual movement in this place."

"Unusual movement?"

The Golden Lion Ape muttered.

Ji Ming said at this time: "The unusual movement you are talking about refers to the fact that some Taoists from Heshan have sneaked into this side, and the Taoists from Zhengguo in the Guancai Cave battlefield have secretly retreated to the Lanyin side."

"not only that."

Chiyi Langjun sat cross-legged on a rock, with the tail of the snake head coiled around his legs. He supported his head with one hand on his legs and said, "There are also their Sibeiyun Temple in the mountains and rivers in this area, summoning local gods such as Mountain Ghost and River Lord."

Ji Ming and Jin Ni Yuan looked at each other. They had encountered such a thing in the old temple, and this thing was the main reason why Jin Ni Yuan wanted to seize the heavenly man. Wen Daoyu on the side echoed: "Other unusual movements can be regarded as confusing actions by Heguan, but this summoning of the gods of mountains and rivers is something we cannot ignore."

"What kind of hatred do you, Heguan, have with that master that you want to take away Tianren and block his path?" Jin Niyuan asked bluntly.

Only the Golden Lion Ape would dare to speak about such matters of infighting among fellow disciples in public.

"Haha~"

Wen Daoyu laughed twice and said in an unusually relaxed manner: "What kind of grudge is this? I, Heguan, will not hinder the bright future of my fellow disciples for personal grudges. It would be embarrassing if it gets out.

However, that "Suluozi" had close contacts with heretics, and as an official of the Earthly Court, he forcibly changed his fate because of his end of life, which violated the rules of the Earthly Court, and he deserved this disaster."

"That's right, that's the truth." Golden Lion Ape clapped his hands in agreement.

"How did you find the Mountain of Dangerous Birds?"

Jiming asked.

"I got it from the prophecy." Chi Yi Lang Jun said, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Originally, this 26 Daxu hexagram seems far-fetched, I don't really believe it.

But it seemed as if someone was guiding me and drawing my attention to the Mountain of Dangerous Birds. "

"Tell me more specifically!"

The true meaning of such conspiracies lies in such details, which is very worthy of Ji Ming's understanding and learning.

Chiyi Langjun must have sensed Ji Ming's intention, and he actually thought seriously, saying, "My attention is mostly on the Taoist Zhengguo, who was taught by my master himself. He visited many mountains, rivers and places in this area, but he stayed the longest here."

"Not only that!" Wen Daoyu continued, "There is a Taoist master who lives in seclusion in this mountain. If a celestial being were to be reborn in this mountain, that Su Luozi would never dare to attack.

Such a demon may not care about us juniors in the first or second realm, but if a third realm foundation-building expert enters the mountain, it will definitely alarm him. "

Jin Ni Yuan was standing aside at this moment, looking a little embarrassed, just because of what Chi Yi Lang Jun said, 'The 26 Daxu hexagram is really far-fetched'.

He was so proud of himself when he interpreted this hexagram, and he often showed off in front of the Centipede brothers and Monk Dayou. But now when he thought about it, he felt inexplicably irritated and even didn't hold much hatred towards Mr. Chiyi.

After all, if Monk Dayou had not been so poor in academics and had not insisted on showing off, he would not have suffered this disaster.

"what about you?"

Wen Daoyu looked at Ji Ming and Jin Ni Yuan and asked, "How did you find it?"

This question made Jin Ni Yuan even more embarrassed. If it weren't for the monkey hair covering his face, one would have been able to see his flushed face.

"It's the mountain ghost here!"

Ji Ming said.

Ji Ming skipped over the story of the Daxu hexagram and said, "We originally wanted to find the mountain ghost here and use its power to find out the situation of this mountain, but it didn't want to help us at first, but later led us to the third peak."

"Why do you believe in this mountain ghost?" asked Chiyi Langjun.

Ji Ming looked at the Golden Lion Ape, who said as a matter of course: "The mountains and rivers are all one family, so we naturally trust each other. The mountain ghost here, the Jialan Snake, has been a spirit for more than 200 years. It is a pure demon and has a good reputation."

Chi Yi Lang Jun narrowed his narrow eyes, supported his head with his fingertips and tapped the gilded red helmet with Kui patterns, and said meaningfully: "Jia Lan Snake, good at hiding, driving it away will bring disaster."

Wen Daoyu sensed Chiyi Langjun's undisguised malice and couldn't help but stroke his injured leg. "If you want to deal with that mountain ghost, you have to wait for me to open the altar and borrow some magic to heal your wound."

"Which star god can you invite?"

Wen Daoyu showed a rare sense of complacency, and said: "He is the Mu Sheng Star Lord in the Southern Dipper. I have always worshipped this Lord when I learned the talisman and borrowed the magic. If I can be promoted to the Heavenly Court in the future, I will definitely serve in the Southern Dipper Star Palace in the sky within the three days of wandering."

"Ambitious."

It was rare for Chiyi Langjun to be serious. Wen Daoyu, a disciple of the Heguan branch, dared to say in public that he borrowed magic from the Musheng Star Lord in the Southern Dipper. He must have the confidence to borrow the magic successfully.

He knew very well that among the three orthodox sects, anyone who could borrow the magical power of the gods in heaven (except the Three Heavenly Lords of Savior) would definitely attract attention and had potential, or might have some relationship with the master.

The founder of the Heguan branch of the Taiping Mountain, "Heshan Zhenren", had only achieved the fourth level of golden elixir and died 500 years ago. However, his brother, Immortal Ziming, had already reached the level of earthly immortal and would remain in the world forever.

Chiyi Langjun didn't know whether Wen Daoyu borrowed the magic because of the former or the latter, but this didn't stop him from looking up to him.

"Then wait a few days, and we will meet this mountain ghost and earth god together." said Chiyi Langjun.

Ji Ming touched the bag hanging on his feet, thinking of the Shi Ling Box inside, and said with a bit of urgency: "Well, we two have to go back and rest for a while."
