MTL - Ascend Another Day-Chapter 1 "The Story of the Snake Catcher" New Edition
[In the wilds of Yongzhou, there are different snakes, which are black and white. They die when they touch grass and trees. They bite people and have no defense. 】
After writing this, Liu Zongyuan put down the pen in his hand, sighed, got up and came to the window, and said in a low voice: "The people's livelihood is difficult, and the tyranny is fiercer than the snake! Since the fourteenth year of Tianbao, the state affairs have been corrupted, and even the snake Also rampant in the countryside!"
In the fourteenth year of Tianbao, Emperor Mingxiao, the great sage of the Dao, finally fainted, and the king of Dongping County rebelled, and the prosperous and prosperous age finally came to an end. Although the rebellion was quelled later, the war broke out for many years, and the warlords were divided into separate regimes, and finally the prosperous scene of the past was no longer there.
So far, the land of Shenzhou has a demon atmosphere, full of evil spirits, treacherous and sycophants are in power in the court, eunuchs exercise power, and people with lofty ideals, such as Liu Zongyuan, are often relegated to poor villages and remote areas, unable to express their ambitions and ambitions.
Just as Liu Zongyuan thought of this, suddenly the black wind howled outside the window, a poisonous snake with black and white ring-shaped stripes rushed from the ditch to the street, where the vegetation quickly withered!
This is exactly the strange snake in his pen, extremely poisonous!
It's just that this snake is unbelievably big, more than three feet long, with a sweep of its tail, the house collapses, and when it opens its mouth, it sprays, and the poisonous mist fills the air.
The people on the street were crying and running, not daring to stay.
At the corner of the street, a white and tender fat pig was gnawing cabbage. Before he could dodge it, he took a breath of the poisonous mist, kicked his feet, and died!
Suddenly, a young man in ragged clothes rushed from behind, punched out, and the wind of the fist was violent, blowing away the poisonous mist like a gust of wind.
The big snake was inexplicably terrified and ran for its life. The young man overtook him, so he had to turn his head and desperately, but was kicked on the chin by the young man.
The big snake flew up in a whirl, the young man stepped forward quickly, flew up, his fingers flew like flying, and hit the big snake's back joints one after another.
There was a crackling sound, like firecrackers exploding, where the young man's ten fingers passed, the big snake's muscles and bones were dislocated.
In just an instant, the boy tapped from the back of the big snake's head to its tail, and removed all the bones of the big snake's body, making it unable to move!
Seeing this, people on the street cheered and shouted: "Xiaoying! What a skill!"
The boy's name was Xu Ying, his limbs were slender, and his fingers were also very slender and delicate, but his skin was a little dark because he was exposed to the wind and sun all year round.
He is a well-known snake catcher in Lingling County, Yongzhou. He is only fourteen years old, and he has practiced very well.
Xu Ying grabbed the snake's tail and was about to go out. Liu Zongyuan went out to call him and asked, "Xu Ying, why are you catching the snake?"
The young man Xu Ying stopped and saw that it was Yongzhou Sima Liu Zongyuan, so he hurriedly saluted and said: "Liu Sima, after this snake wax dries up, it can be used as a medicinal bait to heal strong wind, contracture (luan/wan), fistula (fistula) lou/li), remove the dead muscles and kill the three insects. The governor said that whoever can catch this kind of snake will be exempted from his tax."
Liu Zongyuan smiled and said, "That's very good."
Xu Ying's face was gloomy, and said: "My grandfather was a snake catcher and died while catching snakes. My father was also a snake catcher and died while catching snakes. I followed my father to learn the art of catching snakes." It’s been six years, I’m afraid I’ll die from snake catching at some point.”
Liu Zongyuan was moved with compassion, and said: "I am a good friend with the governor, and I can let the governor relieve you of this corvee and restore your taxes."
Hearing the words, the big snake uttered words, and shouted: "Master Liu is well said! Xu Ying, I have been practicing hard for many years, so you let me go, you pay your taxes, and I will cultivate my demon in the mountains!" Law!"
Liu Zongyuan was startled, and lost his voice: "This is still a snake demon!"
The big snake shouted: "My grandfather was a snake demon and died at the hands of snake catchers. My parents were also snake demons and died at the hands of snake catchers. Now I am one hundred and twenty years old. I thought I could escape the catastrophe and become a dragon to eat me." Drop these bastards, I didn't expect to die in the snake catcher today..."
Xu Ying raised his hand and gently pulled on its chin to remove its chin, and the big snake couldn't continue speaking.
Xu Ying's eyes turned red, and he said: "Master Liu, I can still live by catching snakes. If the tax is restored, I'm afraid I'll starve to death soon. If it's not a last resort, who would risk their life to catch the snake demon? "
He dragged the snake demon and left sadly.
Liu Zongyuan couldn't help weeping, and said with emotion: "Who knows the poison of Fu Lian, there is even a snake! Although different snakes are poisonous, what is even more poisonous is tyranny!"
He returned to the room, swiped his brush like the wind, and wrote the famous article "The Story of the Snake Catcher".
Xu Ying dragged the snake monster home and threw it into the vat. It was getting late, and he had no time to send the snake to the yamen, so he had to wait until dawn.
Xu Ying lit the fire to cook, ate a whole meal, and then fell asleep.
The big snake wriggled desperately in the vat, trying to connect the staggered bones, tossing until midnight, only to hear the fierce officials rushing into the village like bandits, beating, smashing, burning and looting, shouting and asking the villagers to pay taxes.
Xu Ying was woken up, got up and turned on the lamp, looked into the tank, found that the snake demon was still there, breathed a sigh of relief, then lay down and continued to sleep.
The snake demon continued to work hard to set the bone, and after an unknown period of time, he finally fixed the mandible, only to hear the sound of Xu Ying getting up.
The snake demon was slumped.
Xu Ying was fully dressed, and went to the tank to take another look at the snake demon. The snake demon remained motionless, thinking: "When I connect the bone in the back of the head, I will suddenly raise my head, give him a hard bite, and send him to see his grandfather and parents!"
Xu Ying faced the rising sun, breathed out slowly, and silently performed Taiyi Daoyin Gong.
While breathing, the sunlight on his face seemed to gradually brighten as he inhaled, and even tiny particles of light could be seen in the air, disappearing into his body with his breathing.
There was a faint sound of thunder in Xu Ying's belly, rumbling, rising from the dantian, gradually reaching the throat and nasal cavity, and then slowly sinking, returning to the dantian.
After a while, Xu Ying's body was filled with heat, and puffs of white mist rose up.
His skills were not taught by his grandfather or father.
In fact, he was not the father's own flesh and blood, but picked up by his grandfather.
The surnames of father and grandfather are Jiang, and Xu Ying's surname is Xu. Seven years ago, Xujiaping was caught in a fire. Grandfather rescued Xu Ying from the fire and brought Xu Ying here.
Xu Ying didn't have much memory of the fire, but he vaguely remembered a method of breathing, the Taiyi Daoyin Gong.
Xu Ying has nothing to do on weekdays, and practiced according to Taiyi Daoyin Gong. Up to now, he has practiced for seven full years.
Xu Ying didn't know what was the use of cultivating. Anyway, if he was idle, he was idle. It didn't take much time to practice in the morning.
During his practice, he discovered that the greatest effect of Taiyi Daoyin Gong is that when the Qi and blood flow down, he can pee much straighter than before, and he doesn't have to worry about peeing on his shoes.
"It's useless, it can only urinate far away." Xu Ying once sneered at this.
It wasn't until Xu Ying grew up, followed his grandfather and father to catch snakes, and killed a big snake, that he realized that the effect of Taiyi Daoyin Gong was much more than just urinating far away.
Xu Ying taught Taiyi Daoyin Gong to his grandfather and father, but they learned it too late and progressed slowly, so they fell one after another in the process of catching snakes.
Now, only Xu Ying is left in the family.
Xu Ying had cultivated the Taiyi Daoyin Kung Fu to the extreme three years ago, and his energy and blood were running like thunder.
He felt that there was still a way to go, and the movement of Qi and blood was still changing, but it was a pity that he didn't know the exercises behind.
Behind him, the snake demon quietly poked its head out of the tank, and couldn't help being shocked when it saw it.
Xu Ying devoured the essence of the sun and tempered his qi and blood faster than himself. How could the speed of refining the essence of the sun be absorbing the essence of the sun? Clearly like a monster, it opened its mouth wide to devour the mystery of the sun!
"He is practicing my monster clan skills!" The snake demon widened his eyes, puzzled, "Isn't he a human? Why can he practice my monster clan skills?"
At the top of the pole in the sun, Xu Ying slowly stopped breathing, and the snake demon quickly shrank its head.
After the sun is up, the fire nature in the sun becomes extremely hot. If you practice Daoyin at this time, you will feel that your blood is getting hotter and hotter, and you may die of spontaneous combustion at any time!
Practicing too much will be harmful to the body. If one does not pay attention to practicing more, more and more fire nature will be accumulated in the body. It is necessary to collect the moon's flower on the night of the full moon to dissolve the fire nature, so as to ensure the purity of cultivation.
Xu Ying came to the vat, reached out and pinched the snake demon by seven inches, and lifted it out of the vat, with a kind expression on his face, he said, "I'm not the type to kill. If I ask, you answer, or I'll kill you. Do you understand?"
The snake demon nodded repeatedly.
Xu Ying put it down and asked, "How did you become a monster?"
The snake demon was considerate, and said: "My grandfather was originally an ordinary poisonous snake. One day, he strayed into Qinyan Cave. Suddenly half of Qinyan Cave collapsed, revealing a scroll of scriptures and a gourd elixir. After taking the elixir, my grandfather suddenly opened I got it right, my brain became much smarter, I was able to speak, read and read. So I practiced according to that volume of scriptures, and became a monster. Later, my grandfather passed the scriptures to my parents, and my parents passed them on to me. origin."
Xu Ying nodded slightly, and said, "Bring your scriptures and let me have a look."
The snake demon hesitated.
Xu Ying picked up a fist-sized stone by the well, squeezed it hard, and four or five drops of water were squeezed out of the stone.
The young man let go, the stone was shattered into powder, and he said flatly, "How are you compared to this stone?"
The snake demon made a decisive decision, opened his mouth, and spat out a scroll of scriptures.
Xu Ying opened the scriptures, which recorded a Daoyin technique called Dari Daoyin Gong, and a martial art called Xiangli Niu Moquan.
"You are a snake, you have no hands or feet, how can you practice the Xiangli Niu Demon Fist?"
Xu Ying laughed and said, "Is this the martial arts method that only bull monsters or elephant monsters can practice?"
The corner of the snake demon's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: "Some practice is considered good, how can I be qualified to pick and choose? Aren't you also practicing the Daoyin skill of my demon clan?"
Xu Ying flipped through the pages, the Great Sun Daoyin Kung Fu was similar to his Taiyi Daoyin Kung Fu, but after thinking about it for a while, he found that the speed of the Great Sun Daoyin Kung Fu in absorbing the sun's essence was much slower than that of the Tai Yi Daoyin Kung Fu.
Da Ri Dao Yin Gong recorded their current state, gas harvesting period.
Qi collection is the collection of sun essence, that is, the light particles condensed by sunlight, to strengthen the body and enhance blood.
Xu Ying frowned, the Great Sun Daoyin Kung Fu in the scriptures was the same as his Taiyi Daoyin Kung Fu, they were all cut off after the gas harvesting period was completed, and there were no follow-up skills!
"Do you feel that there is still a way to go after the gas extraction is completed?" Xu Ying asked.
The snake demon said cautiously: "After reaching the peak of cultivation, I only feel that my Qi and blood are full, surging, and I have the potential to break through the barrier, but I don't know where the barrier is."
Xu Ying frowned, got up and went to the Ming Hall, and brought a book basket.
He poured out the scriptures in the book basket and spread them all over the floor.
The snake demon was horrified, only to see that those scriptures were all kinds of Daoyin skills, there were dozens of them!
Over the years, Xu Ying has not only captured snake demons, but also other monsters. He has captured almost all monsters within a radius of tens of miles!
These monsters also have various chances, or accidentally entered the ancient cave, or listened to the scriptures on the stone wall, or found a cave in the water, so they cultivated into monsters.
However, the exercises they obtained can only be cultivated to the gas harvesting stage, and there are no follow-up exercises!
The same is true of Xu Ying's Taiyi Daoyin Kungfu that he is currently practicing. Although he can continue to improve his Qi and blood cultivation, he can clearly feel that there is still a way ahead, but the road is cut off, chaotic and boundless, and he doesn't know where to end.
"Why are all the exercises cut off during the Qi gathering period?" Xu Ying frowned and muttered to himself.
The snake demon was filled with righteous indignation, and said angrily: "I feel that someone is targeting my demon clan and destroying all of my demon clan's exercises, leaving only the energy harvesting period exercise! This is probably a conspiracy of the human race!"
Xu Ying shook his head and said, "Since you have the ability to destroy the following exercises, why not just destroy them all? It can be seen that there is something else hidden."
He was flipping through the elephant force cow's magic fist, and suddenly his expression moved slightly.
This boxing method is a martial arts method, and the cultivator does not have to be a bull monster or an elephant monster, no matter what race he is, he can practice it. Of course, if the snake demon wants to practice, he must first transform into a human being, and then he can practice with limbs.
The Elephant Force Ox Demon Fist has unique features in mobilizing qi and blood, which doubles the speed of qi and blood, and the power of an instant burst is raised to that of a giant elephant, so it is called the power of a god!
The word "ox demon" means that when this boxing technique is activated, because the qi and blood flow too fast, it is difficult to be rational and fall into a state of madness, so it is called "ox demon"!
In addition, this martial arts technique will cause the body to swell in an instant, several inches or even feet higher than usual!
The hands and feet are also bigger than usual!
Xu Ying became interested. In the past, he used brute force to subdue snake monsters and other monsters, and he was not proficient in fists and feet. After getting the Xiangli Niu Moquan, his strength will definitely increase in a straight line!
At this time, the voice of the villagers came from outside, calling: "Ah Ying, come out to worship God!"
Xu Ying put the scriptures into his arms, pinched the snake demon's neck lightly, and said, "I'm back from worshiping the gods. If you haven't left yet, I'll wax you dry. Also, don't harm anyone."
The snake demon only felt that his neck bone was connected, and he couldn't help being surprised and happy.
Xu Ying walked out of the courtyard and came to Jiangjiatian's ancestral hall. He saw that the villagers were disheveled and dressed in rags, but the ancestral hall was magnificently built and beautiful.
There are men and women in every household in Jiangjiatian. The wealthy rich man, holding cooked chickens and ducks, holding thick incense candles, and the peasants who have no money also offer fruits and white rice, holding three sticks of incense, and walking towards the ancestral hall one by one.
If you really have no money, you should be so empty-handed.
Xu Ying followed the villagers into the ancestral hall, and saw cigarette smoke curling up, clouds and mist rising, and behind the incense burner was a six-foot-tall wooden statue of a god, with a bright red body, a green robe, and blue-faced fangs.
While the aroma was burning, the smoke entered the nostrils of the wooden statue.
The chest of the wooden statue suddenly swelled, and it took a long breath, sucking all the incense of the villagers into its stomach.
I saw the wooden statue gradually turning into flesh and blood, UU reading www. uukanshu.com suddenly stood up from the shrine, grabbed the chickens, ducks, and fruits offered by the villagers, and ate them. When he was happy, he grabbed the incense candles and stuffed them into his mouth and chewed.
Today is the first day of the lunar new year, a day of worshiping God, and the ancestral halls in Xujiajing, Yangzitang, Shuangjiqiao, Shagouwan and other villages near Jiangjiatian are also full of incense.
The statues of gods, either wood carvings, clay sculptures, copper tires or iron walls, each wake up in the incense, turn into flesh and blood, and enjoy the incense and food offered by people.
And in the mountain temples, Longwang Temple and other places in the mountains and rivers near Lingling, there are also misty clouds, as well as the Town God's Temple in the city, and there are also Town God's Lords who wake up and enjoy sacrifices.
Not only Lingling, the whole of Yongzhou, the whole of southern Hunan, and even the land of Shenzhou, incense is everywhere, and the statues guarding various villages, towns, cities, states and counties wake up one after another, enjoying the sacrifices of the people of Li, a scene of prosperity.
However, since the great sage of the Dao, the great sage of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor Ming Xiao, became incompetent, the world was in chaos, and the prosperity was ruined.
"Xu Ying! Jiang Shu! Jiang Lu! You poor **** are empty-handed, and you didn't even offer me a joss stick!"
In the Jiangjiatian ancestral hall, the gods were furious and shouted, "I only eat two meals a month from you, and the food you filially eat makes me hungry! Jiangjiatian, do you still want to have a good weather and ample food and clothing? Don't be afraid to offend the gods." Do I bring disaster on you?"
