chewing dragon

Chapter 222
After being robbed by his master, Qi Jingzhi opened his mouth, but he was speechless.

He doesn't even know who are the prominent figures in his family's ancestors, let alone Yan Huang and his biological mother who are similar to people in mythology.

Feng Zixu on the side complied, and then snorted again: "Actually, I have a guess in my mind about the origin of this saying, please listen to it, and when you ask Zheng Xian, don't take it Confess it for the teacher. If it is wrong, the teacher can't afford to lose this person!"

"That's natural!"

Qi Jingzhi quickly nodded in agreement, firstly because he really wanted to know, and secondly because he felt that his master had accumulated a lot of stories since he was a child, and now I am afraid that he can only tell his apprentice.

Immediately, I heard Feng Zi falsely say: "Some people say that the word Rennv of Nine Heavens Rennv Empress means the daughter of the surname Ren, because in Oracle Bone Books, the ancient form of the character 'Ren' is written as 'Ren'. At the same time, some people said that the daughter of Ren's surname, named Si, was born with the head of a dragon...they are all daughters of Ren's surname, and it is not unusual for them to be pulled together by force."

"He was born with the head of a dragon? Emperor Yan has a cow's head and a human body. The location of Biluo Palace is called the Dragon Shouyuan. Is it because of this reason?"

Qi Jingzhi was quite surprised, and immediately realized: "The master just said that in the records of our orthodox Taoist classics, the empress of Jiutian Rennu is the Xuanmi family, and she didn't mention any surname, but obviously it's not just any surname. Shi, it seems that the statement that this great god is Jiang Huang's birth mother... should be far-fetched and based on rumours."

Feng Zixu nodded lightly: "There is a saying in the "Tao Jing" that the god of valleys does not die, it is called Xuanmu. The gate of Xuanmu is called the root of heaven and earth. The empress of Jiutianren is called Xuanmu, and she must be a congenital god who was born close to the Tao. However, Ren's surname is Youxu's, but it is a human surname, and the two have nothing to do with each other."

"Teacher understands, Yin mother passed on Rennv, and Rennv passed on to Yuan Gong, it really is from the Taoist lineage."

As Qi Jingzhi said, he looked down at the statue of the Baiyun Cave God below, and thought to himself: "Since Yuan Gong is a fairy god recorded in the Taoist classics, he can't be regarded as an evil god. There is a dispute, and now facing the Taoist sect, there must be a lot of scruples, and I dare not act rashly..."

"It's just that the duty of this Baiyun Cave Lord is to guard the "Ruyi Book", not some mountain god. Why is his statue standing here, and is it connected to the leylines of Xiaosong Mountain?"

Then look at the rough carving of the statue below, together with the group of monkeys in the temple who are worshiping, it does look a bit like the handwriting of the old Mandrill.

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately took out the jade box from his bosom and opened it, and took out a handful of vellus hairs as white as frost and snow.

These vellus hairs were only shimmering when they were not taken out, but once exposed to the moonlight, they suddenly burst into brilliance.

At the same time, the stone statue of the white stone ape below is also shining brightly, echoing the vellus hair bestowed by Senior Mandrill.

The next moment, this handful of vellus hairs flew up by themselves and hung in front of Qi Jingzhi's body.

Feng Zixu was attracted by his apprentice's actions, and cast his eyes on him.

She looked carefully at the hair, and then looked down at the Temple of the Moon Mother, her eyes showed a sudden look, and then turned into a sly smile.

The next moment, Qi Jingzhi suddenly felt a kick on his buttocks, and an unstoppable force spread all over his body, and his whole body immediately fell out of the Taiqing Tiancha, and fell rapidly towards the hall below.

Almost at the same time, Ban Nu uttered an earth-shattering howl, and fell down with his teeth and claws open.

The Taiqing Tiancha hangs high in the clouds in the sky, if the two masters and servants just fall down straight, they may be seriously injured if they don't die.

In the blink of an eye, Qi Jingzhi and Ban Nu looked at each other, and immediately used their means.

The crane's wings spread out quickly, and it flapped twice, finally slowing down the boy's fall.

The Zouwu banner also flew out, and the clear light emitted was clear and pure, but it was as real as it was, and it pulled Ban Nu's body upwards vigorously.

However, this guy's food for nearly a month is really good, and he has obviously gained a lot of strength. No matter how the clear light of Zouwu's flag is dragged, it can only be slightly buffered.

Seeing that Ban Nu was still falling down slowly, Qi Jingzhi quickly reached out and grabbed the black and white ponytail, which was immediately replaced by the miserable neighing of his own mount.

Such a big movement in the sky immediately alarmed the monkeys in the hall.

These monkeys, big and small, didn't care about worshiping the gods anymore, they all raised their heads dumbfounded, watching the man and the beast crashing down on the roof of the hall.

The not-so-small gap in the roof was suddenly widened, broken tiles fell down in a rustle, and a cloud of smoke and dust rose between the beams and columns.

Immediately afterwards, there were two muffled bangs, and Qi Jingzhi and Ban Nu hung on a beam one after another.

The entire hall has been in disrepair for a long time. The beam that was originally painted with gold has long been dim. It looks solid and solid, but the inside has long been rotten. It immediately made a creaking noise, obviously unable to bear it.

Before Qi Jingzhi and Ban Nu could breathe a sigh of relief, there was only a click in their ears, and the beam held by them snapped away from the break.

With a bang, all the remaining roofs of the main hall collapsed, and large pieces of broken wood and tiles fell down like hailstones, causing the group of monkeys below to squeak and scream.

In the sky full of smoke and dust, the pillars and walls of the temple were skewed, but fortunately they still stood and did not collapse along with the roof.

The height from the beam to the ground was no longer considered by Qi Jingzhi and Ban Nu. The two masters and servants descended lightly and landed on the relatively spacious altar. Behind them was the stone statue of Baiyun Cave Lord Yuan Gong. In front of my eyes is a group of monkeys running away with their heads in their hands, boiling against the sky.

Qi Jingzhi looked around briefly, looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar hall, he felt inexplicably at ease in his heart.

Not long ago, he saw the mysterious and magnificent scene of the Qingcheng ship and the saint patrolling the sky. He felt that his heart was always floating in the sky, and it was only at this moment that he really fell on the ground and returned to the world.

"Little He'er, I've been around for a while as a teacher. This little pine mountain in your home is really interesting. As long as you're careful, it's not dangerous to you. Just play with confidence. As a teacher, you have to prepare for the exit. , but I won’t accompany you!”

Feng Zixu's voice came from the sky, and it was obviously getting farther and farther away. When the last word was spoken, only the lingering sound was heard.

Seeing that his master was so free and easy, and walked without sloppiness, Qi Jingzhi quickly clapped his palms, knocking off the hair of the pony's tail between his fingers, and then saluted far away in the direction where the sound went away.

At this time, the dust had settled in the main hall, and the broken wood and broken tiles did not cause casualties to the monkey group, but it was inevitable to make a mess.

The monkeys gradually settled down, one group to the east and one group to the west, curiously looking at the iron wings on Qi Jingzhi's back and the banner spirit on Bannu's head, chattering and pointing with their paws.

At this moment, among the monkeys, an inconspicuous gray-haired old monkey stepped out, stretched out his finger and pointed at the white vellus hair that was still floating in front of the young man, and immediately put his hands together and bowed respectfully.

Looking at its appearance, it is obvious that it recognizes the vellus hair of the old man.

Following the movement of the gray-haired old monkey, the hall immediately fell silent, and all the monkeys stared at the young man on the altar with wide eyes.

Qi Jingzhi thought for a while, then smiled at the monkeys and said, "These vellus hairs are a gift from Senior Mandrill!"

"In the past, senior and I teamed up and killed a tiger spirit outside this hall. Later, senior mandrill sent many monkey grandchildren to deliver the tiger spirit's body to my house, where it played for most of the night and ate a lot of fruit! "

The boy gestured while talking, and finally pointed in the direction of Shanqian Village: "My house is on the edge of Xiaosong Mountain, a small yard halfway up the mountain..."

The monkeys around the altar obviously didn't understand half of what he said, but they all showed face, obediently following his gestures, turning around to look at the courtyard outside the hall for a while, and turning around for a while. Qiqi turned his neck and looked in the direction of Shanqian Village.

Only the spiritual gray-haired old monkey seemed to understand a little bit. After staring and thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up.

It suddenly opened its mouth and yelled at the surrounding monkeys, and then all the monkeys jumped up and down, looking very happy.

Among them, many nimble little monkeys jumped out of the hall, brought in a lot of dried and fresh fruits from nowhere, and threw them on the altar while jumping.

The little monkeys were not accurate enough, so many fruits were inevitably thrown over their heads, but they were blocked by the clear light of the Zouwu banner, and they threw them on Bannu's head in disorder.

These days, Bannu has gained a lot of experience in Qihe Valley, and he is more used to waiting for the food to be cooked and dropped to his mouth. At this time, seeing that these fruits are raw and the spiritual energy contained in them is not enough, his face I feel disgusted.

Even so, this guy is unwilling to be idle, lazily raised his head and opened his mouth, no matter what he received, when the two rows of white sharp teeth touched, he shook off his cheeks and chewed vigorously, eating juicy Splashes and crumbs fly.

Now even the big monkeys who were on the sidelines became interested and joined the ranks of holding fruits and smashing flags one after another, regardless of whether they were big melons or small fruits, they all greeted the Zouwu flag.

After a while, the feet of Ban Nu and Qi Jingzhi were piled up with various well-known and unknown dried and fresh fruits, including hazelnuts, pine nuts, torreya nuts, and walnuts, which are long-lived fruits of four colors.

It's a pity that Qi Jingzhi is not a great fairy god, otherwise he could have painted a picture of "A Group of Monkeys Offering Fruits" and passed it on to future generations.

Later, all the monkeys, big and small, saw that Bannu was eating so deliciously, they couldn't help being greedy, and they became companions one after another, chewing happily.

Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi was rather dumbfounded.Back then when these monkeys were eating, drinking and playing in his yard, he only heard Jiao Yulang mention them afterwards, but now he finally saw them with his own eyes.

Qi Jingzhi turned around and looked closely at the stone statue of Lord Baiyundong, only to feel that the look and feel was different from when he was looking at it from afar in the sky.

This stone statue stands where the headless statue of Moon Mother used to be. It is bathed in the moonlight at this moment, and its whole body glows with fluorescence. Although the carving is very rough, there is only a rough outline, but when you look closely, it is scattered in shape but concentrated in spirit. Exudes a bit of a unique charm.

Inadvertently, Qi Jingzhi glanced at the stone box in the left hand of the stone statue, and suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart for no reason.

He couldn't help being startled, staring at the legendary golden cabinet and jade box containing the "Wishing Book", and was about to feel it carefully, when suddenly there were several anxious screams behind him.

Qi Jingzhi turned his head to look, and saw a few little monkeys running in from the door in a panic, empty-handed, jumping up and down around the gray-haired old monkey, screaming very shrill.

The monkeys who were eating Hesai all around were quiet at first, and then there was a commotion, they dropped the fruits in their hands, picked up wooden sticks, tiles and other sundries from the ground, and rushed to the place noisyly. Run outside the hall.

Seeing this battle, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu.

Back then, the headless statue of Moon Mother was shattered, the divine power in the temple was gone, and the tiger spirit that was losing its skin lost its protection, and was immediately approached by a group of ghosts.

Now that the roof of this great hall has collapsed, there is also quite a commotion. Could it be that some evil guests have been attracted?
Surprised, Qi Jingzhi jumped off the altar without thinking, and followed the group of monkeys out of the hall.

Under the stone steps in front of the hall, weeds and gravel are everywhere. In the past, Lao Man used a tripod hammer to make many deep pits. Now these deep pits have been filled with silt, and the weeds growing from them are the most luxuriant.

The monkeys huddled on the edge of the stone platform, yelling and looking down.

Qi Jingzhi walked over, and saw that the bottom of the stone steps was densely covered with snakes, and there were always hundreds of snakes at a glance.

These snakes look the same, they all have sharp beaks and bald tails, black backs and white bellies, they are over a foot long and as thick as copper coins, they look quite strange.

There are still such strange snakes coming out of the wild grass, but the grass leaves are swaying non-stop, and the rustling sound is also endless.

These different snakes gathered more and more, and one of them couldn't bear it anymore. While holding its head up, it tentatively walked up the stone steps.

Seeing this, the monkeys immediately became agitated.

One of the red-haired male monkeys was obviously impatient, so he jumped out immediately, jumped down a few stone steps in one step, and stepped on the strange snake hard.

There was only a clicking sound, and the snake that was stepped on was actually broken into two pieces.

Seeing this, the red male monkey immediately became complacent, and let out a strange grin.

At this moment, the snake that had lost half of its body suddenly jumped up, and opened its mouth to bite an arm of the red male monkey.

Almost at the same time, a head popped out of the cut in the lower half of the different snake's body, turned its head and bit the red male monkey's calf fiercely.

The red male monkey's laughter stopped abruptly, his body froze obviously, he fell straight down from the stone steps, and was submerged by the swarming snakes in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the miserable state of their companions, the monkeys on the edge of the stone platform were too shocked and angry to save them. They immediately shouted and threw the sticks and tiles in their hands down.

In an instant, there was a loud clicking sound, and the pile of snakes under the stone steps was smashed to pieces, revealing a black-faced monkey corpse inside.

Qi Jingzhi could see clearly that after the snakes were hit, some were broken into more than a dozen knots, and some were simply shattered into powder, black and white scattered all over the ground.

However, the next moment, the heads of those broken snake bodies grew out one after another, and the powder gathered back into the previous snake shape, still swimming like flying.

Immediately afterwards, these snakes of different sizes no longer had any scruples, and spread towards the stone steps like a tide.

There was no sound on the stone platform, the monkeys stared dumbfounded, with fear on their faces.

The gray-haired old monkey suddenly yelled, grabbed the fellows beside him and ran into the hall.

With it taking the lead, the rest of the monkeys woke up like a dream, and fled after the old monkey with their heads in their arms.

Qi Jingzhi stood still, seeing these weird and vicious snakes were about to charge up the stone platform, he immediately flipped his left palm and took out the set of tiger-shattering jasper chimes.
