From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 364: The Incarnation of the Rat God

There are earth lungs and earth orifices underground. The earth lungs are mostly attached to mountains and rivers, and are where the earth breathes. The earth orifices are like the acupoints on the tendons and meridians of the human body.

The cave god of the Liaoman tribe has a cave that leads directly to the ground, and it also has to show its magic. The cave god will transport many mineral treasures from the ground.

Therefore, the Liaoman people have always been stronger than the Dongman people. Relying on trading minerals for food, the Liaoman people do not need to migrate back and forth. Instead, they are more civilized than the Dongman people.

Yu Shuyang used piled earth to arrange the Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation, but unexpectedly, Linjun was too strong to die and kept struggling in the cave.

There was no other way, he could only squat beside the cave and take a look with his divine eyes from time to time. In order to avoid the backlash from the God of Killing, Yu Shuyang did not dare to activate the Ganoderma Lucidum Ruyi, and relied entirely on the Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation to operate on its own.

Instead, it was Li Zhen who destroyed the black tree jungle and absorbed a bit of the essence of Shintoism from it. This was refined by the black-nosed ground rat using the rat nest of He Liuzhi's family.

There is a folk custom of marrying off mice, which is also related to the fact that mice have many offspring. Therefore, mice are fertile. As the saying goes, city rats and community foxes are because these two species often date humans.

After three generations of accumulation, He Liuzhi built an independent rat's nest to collect clan energy and luck. He only needs to supply a fifth-grade demon fairy to open up a blessed land and be promoted to a demon fairy family.

The rat's nest was chosen by Lady Wolf Poison, who poured in the spiritual water of the union of yin and yang, and then mixed it with lust to refine it into the water of love. This is how the black tree forest grew, and the female ghosts were released.

The Black Tree Jungle was destroyed by Li Zhen using the Yin Jiao Shears, and the Hehuan Water was drained by Yu Shuyang using the Dongyuan Xuantian Flag, leaving only a broken rat's nest, which contained the origin of the law of multiple children.

When Li Zhen was in Youdu, he understood the way to regain the incarnation of the God of Wealth, which was to refine the incarnations of the Three Fairies.

He used the three magical weapons, the Golden Dragon Shears, the Dragon Binding Rope, and the Hunyuan Golden Bowl, and with the help of the midwifery scissors and the Yin Yun Jiaolong, he refined a low-end Yin Jiao Shears.

Now, having accidentally obtained the law of having many children, he can look for a human treasure - the bucket of descendants, or use the origin of many children to refine a low-end version of the Hunyuan Golden Bowl.

Li Zhen stood in front of the rat's nest, thinking for a long time. The refining of the divine weapon is not just about piling up the origin of the Shintoism. The most important thing is the understanding and use of authority.

Just like the Yin Jiao shears, he can only follow the delivery and Yin luck to disperse. The red and blue Yin Jiao and the black and red evil spirits are all derived from this.

The real Golden Dragon Scissors are not like this. If two golden dragons are put together head to tail, they can cut the Golden Immortal in half on the spot. Why are there so many fancy things?

Not long ago, when demonstrating the Yin Jiao shears on Hushan Island, Yu Shuyang spotted a flaw on the spot, severed the connection between the Yin Jiao and the delivery shears, and returned the two Yin Jiaos to their original form.

Li Zhen knew very well that whether it was the Yin Jiao Shears or the Spirit Officer on Duty, as long as he practiced step by step, they could support him to practice to the upper third level.

Then he thought of the Desolate Sea Water Market promised by his cousin Yu Shuyang. The supplies needed by the spiritual officer on duty were no longer lacking, so there was no need to refine another artifact.

The most important thing is that Li Zhen has no confidence in the Hunyuan Golden Bowl. Let alone comprehending the Hunyuan Dao, just the word "gold" can make him die.

What is gold?
Immortality is gold, immortality is gold, this is why there are the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir and the Lower Dantian Golden Elixir.

After much thought, Li Zhen didn't dare to take the Hunyuan Golden Bowl, so he could only settle for the next best thing and refine it into a divine incarnation.

The combination of the Spiritual Officer on Duty of the Treasury and the God of Wealth in the Yin Treasury is the Heavenly Officer of the Treasury. All along, Li Zhen has been urging the Spiritual Officer on Duty of the Treasury openly and the God of Wealth in the Yin Treasury secretly.

The Yin Ku God of Wealth was involved in the reincarnation of Yin debts, so he was always worried when using him. Moreover, the God of Wealth was always spying on Yin wealth, so Li Zhen also had concerns in his heart.

Thinking of this, he decided to sacrifice a goddess of fertility, so as to cover up the reincarnation of the Yin Debt and avoid attracting prying eyes.

Li Zhen immediately began to look through the atlas. He had to try his best to avoid gods such as reincarnation and the underworld, and pick and choose until he found a happy rat god.

The so-called Happy Rat God is the bride of a mouse. According to ancient myths and legends, when a mouse gets married, it must steal a shoe from a woman and then return an embroidered shoe. When the woman wears the shoe, she will turn into a female mouse.

Wearing shoes together indicates a long life together. There is also a custom of stealing wedding shoes. When getting married, the man has to find shoes for the woman.

Li Zhen used the essence of fertility to sacrifice to the Happy Rat. This rat god had a white nose and golden hair. He liked to eat dragons, phoenixes, flowers and candles. His divine power only granted him the power to have many children and grandchildren.

In this way, the two cousins, Yu Shuyang and Li Zhen, squatted in front of a cave respectively, one staring at Linjun being refined to death, and the other silently offering sacrifices to the Happy Rat God.

It's funny to say that Yu Shuyang was born into a happy fish clan, and there is a happy pattern on his head. He was connected with Wenquxingjun, and he cultivated himself into Taisui Dragon God.

Li Zhen originally had a longevity character on his head, but now he is going to offer sacrifices to the incarnation of the Rat God, as if he has taken over Zhu Sanniang's job. After all, only Zhu Sanniang has practiced the Red Joyful Fate method.

The two cousins stayed on Hongchi Island for two months and still couldn't finish their mission.

Li Zhen was slow in refining the Shinto incarnation, and it took him nearly half a month to sign the Shinto oath with Huang Tong.

Yu Shuyang's side is even more troublesome. Linjun holds the power of the Cave God and the Salt Water Goddess, and can turn soil into stone and salt. He fights desperately, but the yellow sand produced by piling up soil is difficult to hurt him.

Fortunately, the black-nosed ground rat and the salt mother stone had been destroyed by the Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation. The divine salt that had caused great harm to people was turned into a handful of soil under the erosion of the yellow sand.

Yu Shuyang didn't feel relieved until the divine salt was completely eliminated. At that moment, he felt a sense of clarity in his mind, as if the blessings of heaven and earth were pouring into it.

It seems that the will of heaven and earth is also not happy with the divine salt, otherwise, Linjun would not have been killed by the cave god, and would have been fleeing all the way.

Linjun was stuck in the second bend of the Nine-Bend Yellow Sand Formation and could not slide down no matter what. He kept turning soil into stone and then into salt, wrapping himself into a mountain to resist the erosion of the yellow sand.

This formation has nine bends and eighteen turns. No matter whether one is an innate divine being or an acquired immortal, once he goes through the nine bends, he will eventually turn into a handful of yellow sand.

However, Yu Shuyang was unable to cast a spell and could only rely on the induction of the piled earth sand and the Ganoderma lucidum to drive the magic circle to operate on his own.

Fortunately, the Wuzhi Yaocao Sword can refine the earth's energy, otherwise, the Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation would not be able to be used on its own.

Yu Shuyang sat beside the cave, but it was not without gain. The ninth and eighth grades were life skills, which mainly focused on accumulating magic power and cultivation. The seventh and sixth grades were sexual skills, which required the contemplation of skills and human nature.

He had already comprehended the mysteries of the three techniques and was not lacking in humanity, which made Yu Shuyang feel a little at a loss as to where to start.

At first, he thought that the Xuanwu water method was in line with the talent of the fish body and would be most suitable for accumulating magic power. The result was as he expected, and he soon accumulated 1,500 years of Taoist practice.

Later on, he practiced the Eight Wind Mantra, and his Tianfeng Fayi was definitely not bad. Who would have thought that after joining the Taoist Alliance, he successively cultivated Yin and Yang, the True Form of the Two Principles, the Tribulation of the Dust, and then cultivated the Hunyuan Qi.

This put Yu Shuyang in a very awkward situation. Whether it was the yin and yang or the changes between reality and illusion, they were far beyond Tianfeng's ability.

Therefore, Yu Shuyang later practiced the Dao of Qiankun Circle, which was differentiated from the Hunyuan Qi, and the mystery contained in it is immeasurable.

Under these conditions, he could barely move forward. If he continued to cultivate according to the Dao of the Qiankun Circle, he might not even reach the Sixth Rank until his death. According to legend, the Supreme Daoist Ancestor had eighty-one incarnations, one of which practiced Xiantian Gong and remained in his mother's womb for eighty-one years, resulting in his hair turning white upon birth.

Yu Shuyang now only has a dragon carp, and its lifespan is only ten to twenty times longer than that of an ordinary carp, which is not enough to support him to slowly hone his skills and even cultivate his character.

The Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation can transform the innate into the acquired, which gives Yu Shuyang some inspiration. Can he reverse the acquired into the innate, thereby increasing his lifespan?

This method is not the orthodox way of the Lower Golden Elixir Dao. The core of the Golden Elixir Dao practice is to achieve the unity of sex and life and to forge an immortal golden elixir.

To go back to the innate from the acquired is the purpose of practicing the Huangting Dao in the Zhongdantian. It is to refine the body to the point where it can be reborn with a drop of blood, or even to the point where it is immortal.

Earlier, in order to concentrate on his practice, Yu Shuyang ignored the wind abdomen he had cultivated through practicing the Eight Wind Mantra.

At present, by observing the changes in the Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation, Yu Shuyang has gained a new understanding of the "intestines" of the human body.

The nine-bend yellow sand has eighteen turns, and the large and small intestines have more than eighteen turns. If the intestines are like the nine-bend yellow sand, then to what extent will his lifespan be increased?

This is also a rumor from the previous life, which says that when a person's lifespan is exhausted, he is actually "starved to death" because the human body does not absorb nutrients, slowly shrinks and ages, and eventually dies.

For this purpose, "organ transplantation" was invented, which delays aging by constantly replacing young organs and allows the body to absorb nutrients.

However, they all ended in failure in the end, because organs also contain consciousness. With the constant replacement of organs and limbs, the consciousness and personality in the body will eventually change drastically.

When a person's memory changes, his personality reverses, and even his living habits become different, is this "person" still the same?
This problem is not a problem for Yu Shuyang. He is not undergoing an organ transplant, but at most a transformation, just like the wind belly created by the Eight Wind Method.

In fact, he only dared to practice the "Yellow Sand Sausage" because of the support of his wind abdomen. Otherwise, just eating would be a huge expense in the future.

To refine the Yellow Sand Sausage, one must thoroughly comprehend the Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation. This is not an easy task. However, my thoughts have changed, and my mood has also changed when I watch the Nine-Curve Yellow Sand consume Linjun.

Linjun had long since lost the power of incense and vows, and only relied on the two divine authorities. Every time he turned soil into stone or salt, it was a suppression of his origin.

As the origin was gradually consumed, the evil divine power in Linjun's body began to riot, and his mind became confused again.

It would remind him from time to time of the ancient times when he was the leader of the Dongman people. At that time, Linjun was still a strong man who was best at drawing the bow and shooting arrows.

The Salt Water Goddess was shot to death by Linjun with an arrow. The Salt Water Goddess was a salt moth spirit, similar to the Lord of War's wife, Yan Xiao, both of whom were gods holding the power of the Salt God.

At that time, the Salt Water Goddess was fighting with the Cave Barbarian God, and they turned into a sky full of salt moths. The salt moths could not be killed no matter what they did. The only way to kill them was to find the one that represented wisdom and shoot it.

When Linjun was making love with the Salt Water Goddess, he inserted a special feather into her head. The next day, when the two gods were fighting, he seized the opportunity and shot the salt moth to death with an arrow.

Since then, Linjun has been haunted by evil power and often becomes insane. Even after he took over the power of Dongman God and Salt Water Goddess, he could not get rid of the evil power.

Faintly, Linjun seemed to recall something. He remembered how he figured out the origin of the Salt Mother Stone. At that time, he did not have the authority of the Salt Water Goddess.

It seems that a caravan from outside the mountain discovered the artifact of the Salt Water Goddess in Bashu, and in order to cooperate with the Cave Barbarians for a long time, they offered it to him as a sacrifice.

This caravan later offered sacrifices to him several times and also did business with him. It seemed that the reason why the Dongman people became mature barbarians was because they had a strong team providing them with food.

Gradually, Linjun fell into coma again. He was repeatedly wrapped in a layer of sand and a layer of salt sand until he turned into a mountain.

For gods like stone, the best protection is to sink into the mountains and then fall into endless sleep.

When he wakes up next time, the enemy may have already died of old age. This is the mountain god's last resort to deal with the enemy.

Linjun subconsciously chose this method, which indeed slowed down the movement of the Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation, and the erosion of the yellow sand could not harm him.

If it were someone else, he might have been unable to deal with Lin Jun long ago, but he happened to meet Yu Shuyang, who used the Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation.

Ever since Linjun stopped refining the yellow sand, he has been refined by the yellow sand layer by layer, like peeling an onion, until his divine body is finally revealed.

Linjun was corroded by the magnetic force in the cave and turned into a corpse made of gold and iron. After years of being entangled by the evil force, the corpse was covered with dead grass.

As the yellow sand eroded, the dead grass also turned into yellow sand and floated down. Linjun began to slide down, changing every three turns, from a stone man to an earth man, and finally turning into a handful of yellow soil.

Yu Shuyang waited patiently beside the cave and observed the whole process carefully. These were all materials for refining the yellow sand sausage in the future.

Linjun slid down all the way until he reached the ninth bend. With just one last slide, the natives would be crushed into pieces.

At this time, all the evil power in Linjun's body disappeared, and only two divine authorities remained to support him. His body was like a dead tree without a drop of water, and it would shatter into pieces with a breath of air.

However, he was clear-headed as never before, and without the interference of evil forces, he remembered everything in the past, including the madness he went into after being possessed by the evil forces.

At this time, Linjun knew clearly that he was going to die, and he also felt that he was being manipulated and plotted against.

From being forced out of the mountains to encounter the Salt Water Goddess, shooting the salt moth to summon the evil power, to becoming the God of the Age of Gods, holding the power of the Salt Water Goddess, and refining the Salt Mother Stone.

There has always been a caravan behind the scenes doing business with the barbarians. It can be said that they were secretly guiding them, and their purpose was to obtain salt made from salt mother stone.

"The Banu caravan and the White Horse caravan, be careful of them, they are the ones who harmed me, it's all because of them."

Linjun roared with all his might, and then released the authority of the Dongman God and the Saltwater Goddess.

Then I saw a yellow light with wings and eyes, and a white light like a moth, flying upstream in the Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation and flying straight into the Ganoderma Lucidum Ruyi.

Having lost the support of the Shinto authority, Linjun was thrown out and turned into a handful of gray-black sand and the remaining true spirit.

The evil force that Yu Shuyang had been worried about did not come, but instead, another source of blessing descended upon the spiritual platform.

He heard everything Linjun said before his death. The Banu caravan and the Baima caravan seemed to have a close relationship with the witch god.

In Yu Shuyang's mind, the magic salt must come from the witch god. It seems that these two caravans in Shuzhong are selling the magic salt for him.
