Chapter 144 Shen Yuzhai’s ritual ceremony, the real dragon and the real Qiu

Four years.

Xingjiang River Basin.

The river is rushing and settlements are lined up on its banks.

With the temple as the center, the people opened up land in all directions.

Wow!
Huge waves hundreds of feet high exploded at the water's edge, and a black snake with a cock's comb rose up with the wind.

The black snake transformed in the strong wind and turned into a two-meter-tall man. He looked somewhat similar to Dragon King, but was obviously much older.

This is the real Jiao, the brother of the Dragon King and a great elixir cultivator.

The real dragon fell into the temple.

"General Zhen Jiao!"

"Greetings to General Zhen Jiao!"

As soon as we entered the temple, everyone greeted us.

The leader is Qingping.

"Well, build more dams here for the great snakes and water tribes to practice. Collect more blood and food from the three animals on weekdays and throw them into the water to feed the great snakes."

The real dragon looked like its master.

Ever since he knew Xu Yang was one of his own, Zhen Jiao regarded Jiuyou Temple as his own private property.

According to his idea, the Xingjiang River Basin will be managed by his eldest brother's family in the future, as this is the foundation of the Big Snake Clan.

As for Jiuyou Temple, this place is not too much to give myself, right?
Therefore, Zhen Jiao and his third brother Zhen Qiu often came to inspect and cooperated with the people of Jiuyou Temple to seize the surrounding branches and land.

The real dragon carries two red-fang scimitars on his back. These are magic weapons made from his own poisonous fangs. They are extremely powerful and are also one of his symbols.

Wow!
"Second brother!!"

The water surface exploded again.

A white dragon with blue spots on it emerged from the water and suddenly transformed itself into a young man with a blue birthmark on his face.

"Third brother! How is the situation at Jiaolong Temple?" Zhen Jiao looked at his younger brother Zhen Qiu.

"These guys are so cunning. They have all been hiding recently and killed many of our brothers." Zhen Qiu said hatefully.

Ever since the Jiaolong Temple lost a Jiaolong, they stopped being so high-profile and stayed indoors, only coming out occasionally to launch surprise attacks on the Giant Snake Clan's troops.

Zhen Qiu entered the hall and looked at the holy and dignified statue, with an imperceptible strangeness flashing in his eyes.

"Where is my niece Xining? Has her husband come out of seclusion yet?" Zhen Qiu looked at Qingping.

Qing Ping replied, "In three months, the master will come out of seclusion."

"Hmph, this kid has nothing to do after eating." Zhen Jiao took a big sip of tea roughly, rested for a while in the temple, and then returned to Quhuang County.

Demons also have seven emotions and six desires, and they also like prosperity.

There are many strange people with snake heads and human bodies in Quhuang County. Most of them are dressed in gorgeous clothes and act ostentatiously.

Due to the restrictions of Xu Yang and Xining, the Snake people have not done anything extreme so far.

But demons are always different from humans, and conflicts between them are common.

The most direct conflict is between the Taoists in Jiuyou Temple and the demons. The rules of Jiuyou Temple have always been known to be strict. If the demons break the law, they will definitely be punished, and the grudge between the two sides is getting deeper and deeper.

In time, either civil strife will break out, or the upper echelons of both sides will overwhelm the other, and Jiuyou Temple will be completely pacified.

Hot Spring Palace.

Xu Yang practiced in the pond. Inside the pond, there were clam spirits that breathed in the essence of heaven and earth, as well as a white snake tail floating in the water and a holy and solemn statue of a god.

And a strange girl with green eyebrows.

The four goddesses practiced in a trance.

Only then can you achieve the Tao you have today.

Inside and outside the Taoist temple, disciples practiced various magic skills, torturing ghosts and summoning gods, raising corpses to make elixirs, drawing talismans like rain, and exhaling to make clouds.

A vibrant scene.

The leader of millions of people, the master of thousands of monks. Xu Yang is now also considered a local lord.

……

Zhenmeng County Palace is located in the center of a thriving water network. The city is cut into pieces by a complex water system. The water network is as crisscrossed and complex as roads, and most residents go out by boat.

The water in the city is black, and the surface is filled with all kinds of household garbage, leftover food, feces, urine and phlegm. Some people are washing clothes, and some are taking a bath.

The air was filled with a foul odor. In addition to ordinary humans, there were also many water-related monsters and water monsters.

In the core area of ​​the city, the water quality is extremely clear.

There are many prosperous mansions, and at the deepest part there is a magnificent palace complex.

This is where the Zhenmeng County Palace is located.

One of the side halls.

The hall is spacious and houses various gods.

In front of the altar sat a Taoist with a long beard, his temples hanging down to his chest like dragon whiskers, and his Taoist robe had a dragon and carp pattern on it.

Opposite them are the two brothers Lu Qi and Lu Xiang.

This person is the biological father of the two brothers, the great Dan monk Li Zhu.

"In a few months, the Shen Yu Zhaijiao will begin. You should not cause trouble. Do something to attract the attention of other forces. It would be best if you could provoke them to fight."

The indigenous people in the Yinshan area have an ancient sacrificial ritual. At the end of the ritual, the precious jade carrying the wishes of all living beings is sunk into the water as a gift to the gods. This is the Sinking Jade Ritual.

"Father, is it true that gods appear during the Jade Sinking Ceremony?" Lu Qi asked puzzled.

This ceremony is held once a year, and in his opinion it is just a formality and nothing special.

"Haha, you don't know, so it's okay to tell you. This ritual originated from the Bibotan tribe in Lion Camel Ridge. After the Nine-Headed God died, people threw precious jade in front of his tomb as a sacrifice."

This custom has been passed down.

The main reason why the Zhenmeng County Palace retained this custom was to find out the whereabouts of the Nine-Headed Insect Tomb.

When Bibotan was moved to Lion Camel Ridge, the Bibotan Taoist lineage did not disappear until the death of the Nine-Headed Insect, but evolved into the Xuanzhu Palace.

The Zhenmeng County Palace is also the Taoist lineage of the Xuanzhu Palace.

But many things cannot be solved with just secret techniques. The corpses of the Nine-Headed Insect and Princess Halloween are more important than any secret techniques.

The ancestors of the Zhenmeng County Palace once followed the Nine-headed Insect, and they know this best.

"In recent years, the county palace has gradually locked down its scope, so this matter cannot be known by others, especially the superiors of Xuanzhu Palace."

If these old guys come over, they might not even get a drink of soup.

"Nine-headed God... So that's it." The two brothers suddenly realized, and Lu Qi said, "Father, the Snake Clan and Jiuyou Temple are quite ostentatious today. Will they discover our plan?"

Li Zhu smiled mysteriously and said, "It doesn't matter. They will definitely fight. The demon race is arrogant and their bloodline is above everything else. In their eyes, humans are nothing but slaves. They only care about control, not cooperation."

The Zhenmeng County Palace has a good relationship with the Great Snake Clan. The two sides have been dealing with each other for many years and are familiar with their personalities.

"If I continue to stir up trouble, I will surely cause internal strife among them, Qi'er."

"What do you want, father?"

"Please help me take two letters, one to the Guiche tribe, and the other to Zhen Jiao, inviting him to come to the county palace for a chat. Once this plan succeeds, Jiuyou will be destroyed, and the vitality of the snake tribe will be greatly damaged."

Li Zhu never left the house, but he was able to guess Xu Yang's character through information from his subordinates.

This person has a strong temper and a narrow mind. If he encounters the tyrannical and overbearing demon clan, he will definitely fight to the death.

Inviting the real dragon over is the first step to create discord, and the second step is to arouse the real dragon's greed.

Lu Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Father, can you let your son lead the team to deal with Jiuyou Temple in the future?"

Lu Qi thought of the demon Baizhu.

"can."

The fast is about to arrive, and the undercurrent is surging.
