Starting from the Valkyrie, pushing across the ages

Chapter 125 The Fire of Faith, the Way of Practice

The speed of the return journey was much slower, Shen Qing gave all the remaining spirit stones to Yan Baohai.

After asking Shen Qing for instructions, Yan Baohai used some of these spirit stones, purchased a batch of rations, and towed more than a dozen carts.

There are no more than a hundred households in Snake Village, with a population of more than 350 people.

But these hundreds of mouths are enough to worry people.

Now the mountains are covered by heavy snow, tigers and bears are squatting in their dens, snakes and mice are dormant, and there is nothing edible in the wilderness.

And in this harsh environment, creatures that can move freely are not something ordinary hunters can deal with.

Every winter, many people starve to death. Most of these starved people have become weak motivation for others to support them.

Cannibalism, in this world, is not just a noun.

On the mountain road buried by the wind and snow, a team of donkey carts moved forward slowly.

Yan Baohai and Snake Village in the convoy were young and strong, with joy on their faces.

According to the original forecast, this year's Snake Village, even if people don't starve to death, they will endure hunger and cold for the winter.

Although the god who blessed Snake Village is dead now, with these rations, Snake Village can have a good year at least this year.

Next year's matter, wait until next year to talk about it, or the most important thing right now.

Shen Qing reclined on the pile of grain sacks, closed her eyes and meditated.

After this body grows, there is not much difference in figure, but the appearance has changed a little compared with the previous life, the eyebrows and eyes are softer, at first glance, it feels docile, even harmless.

She changed her outfit, threw away the unsuitable little clothes, and put on a black dress that was more convenient for movement. Her long hair was loosely scattered behind her back, unkempt, adding a bit of wildness.

whoosh-

Halfway through the convoy, there was a sharp whistling sound, and more than ten arrows shot out from the forest.

"kill!"

"The man kills, the woman takes it back!"

The moment the whistling sound of arrows sounded, more than [-] figures rushed out from both sides of the road. They were dressed in white cloth and wrapped in white turbans. They couldn't be seen clearly in the snow. It seemed that hundreds of people rushed out in an instant. .

The moment Yan Baohai heard the sound of the arrow, his heart sank. In the white snow field, it was impossible to tell the direction of the arrow.

"careful!"

In a hurry, Yan Baohai only had time to give a loud reminder.

click-

Shen Qing closed her eyes, raised her finger lightly, and the arrows shot from both sides of the road exploded in mid-air.

A streak of real energy visible to the naked eye shot out from her fingertips, and split into more than twenty strands in an instant, like a brilliant shooting star gliding across the snow.

Puff puff!
Bright blood bloomed, and the people who came up without exception were pierced between the eyebrows, and the entire back of their heads exploded instantly, splashing blood mixed with brains.

Hot blood splashed into the snow, melting potholes, like blooming red plums.

Yan Jun stepped forward to check his eyes in a hurry, his complexion changed slightly:
"It's from Qingxi Village."

At this time of year, bandits have already gathered supplies for the winter, huddled in the stockade, drinking and playing with women, and rarely do any activities.

Most of the people who can come out in this cold winter can only be the nearby mountain people.

Mountains are blocked by heavy snow, there is no land to grow, and no prey to hunt, so they can only do some part-time jobs. This is not uncommon.

"Qingxi Village? Didn't we borrow food from our village last year?"

"How did you come up with our idea?"

Hearing the name of Qingxi Village, everyone in Snake Village was surprised.

After the surprise, mixed flavors followed.

With so many people dying all at once, Qingxi Village might not survive this year.

Even if they survived the winter, they would not be able to make up the tribute blood food to the gods next year.

At that time, kinder gods may choose to leave directly, and if they are cruel and violent, they may even choose to massacre the village.

No matter which one, Qingxi Village has only one ending in the end.

"Go on."

Shen Qing didn't even open her eyes, she lightly urged.

"Come on."

Yan Baohai came back to his senses, quickly raised the whip in his hand, and urged the donkey cart to move forward.

With so many people dead at once, the thick bloody smell will definitely attract some unknown creatures.

Less than a moment after the convoy had gone, there was an ear-splitting roar from behind, and the sound spread for dozens of miles. The strong wind swept across the forest and knocked down countless snow.

Shen Qing's ears twitched, she turned over, temporarily suppressed the thought of looking back, she now has a severe headache and needs to rest for a while.

Yan Baohai who was at the side had a little bit of fear in his heart, if he walked slowly, he might run into the unknown beast behind him.

…………

…………

When we returned to the village, the wind and snow had subsided, and many people were already waiting at the entrance of the village.

Yan Baohai turned around and wanted to call Shen Qing, but suddenly found that Shen Qing had disappeared.

After calling the villagers to finish moving their things, Yan Baohai went to the temple.

Not surprisingly, Shen Qing was in the temple, lying on a broken rock, closing his eyes and meditating.

"Fairy family."

Yan Baohai hesitated a little, and stepped forward to salute.

"I want to use the remaining spirit stones to build a golden body for you. Look..."

"Ah."

Shen Qing was not in the mood to listen to what he had to say at the moment, but waved her hands impatiently, and continued to close her eyes and meditate.

Received Shen Qing's reply, Yan Baohai was overjoyed, bowed and retreated.

Agreeing to build the golden body means that Shen Qing is willing to continue to protect the snake village.

This is great news for Snake Village. Although it lost the Red Snake, it gained a bigger backer.

As the palace door was closed tightly, Shen Qing gradually sank into the darkness and fell into the deepest dormancy.

This time, Shen Qing slept for half a month.

When he opened his eyes again, the pain in the depths of his soul had already eased so much that it was almost unnoticeable.

But this trauma has already reminded her that she needs some means to protect her spirit, or a way to strengthen her own spirit.

The sundial can only affect her body, it has no effect on her soul.

Although I don't know the reason, but with the improvement of cultivation base, this is something Shen Qing must pay attention to.

In the future, she will encounter more and more enemies, and her fighting methods will be various. It is not uncommon to go beyond the physical body and directly attack the soul.

At that time, if her soul is shattered, no matter how strong her physical body is, it will be meaningless.

Shen Qing quietly sat cross-legged on the broken stone, adjusted her breath for a while, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

A very strange energy is surrounding her.

Shen Qing raised her finger, and a hazy gray light appeared on her fingertips.

After staring at this ray of energy for a while, Shen Qing suddenly raised his eyebrows, realizing the source of it.

This is condensed by the power of belief, it is the power of incense and vows.

It is by virtue of this power that the gods have become the masters of this era.

The more believers, the stronger the strength. Compared with other ways of practice, it is undoubtedly much easier and more convenient to become a god with incense.

Relatively speaking, the composition of this willingness is somewhat complicated and extremely unstable.

This unstable factor prevented Shen Qing from absorbing it into his body.

After coming to this era, Shen Qing wanted to get in touch with more paths of practice.

If the situation wasn't too critical at the beginning, Shen Qing didn't even plan to practice the Xingyuan Secret Code.

Across time and space is her unique special power.

In such a convenient situation, Shen Qing can try other ways and gather the strengths of hundreds of schools.

In the final analysis, the Xingyuan Secret Code is only the Dao ancestor method, and there are quite a lot of exercises of the same level as it, and it is not the most powerful way in the world.

Similarly, the power of incense and fire is naturally not her choice.

However, Shen Qing didn't intend to waste these gathered vows, but temporarily sealed them into a meridian, which might be useful in the future.

After adjusting her state, Shen Qing pondered for a moment, got up and opened the door of the temple.

She is going to go into the mountains to find a new monster or spirit beast, to replace the previous Red Snake to visit the Snake Village.

She has no plan to stay here for a long time. There will be a catastrophe in the southern region, and many people will die.

A large number of dead people means epidemics and wars. If these gods in the southern region are unwilling to leave and devour the beliefs of other gods, they will inevitably start a war to win the remaining believers.

There are few believers but many gods. If you think about it with your ass, Shen Qing can see the future development of the Southern Territory.

This level of war will affect hundreds of millions of living beings, and it is unknown how many people will die.

There are also those sects who hide from the world, so it is naturally impossible to stay out of it.

Shen Qing will stay in this era for nearly 120 years. No matter how you think about it, the Southern Region is not a suitable place to stay for a long time, so leave early and leave early.

As soon as the door of the temple was opened, the sun shone in.

The snow has stopped for a few days, and under the warm winter sun, the melted water has condensed into ice again, which is colorful.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the temple, Shen Qing saw a humanoid stone sculpture standing in the center of Snake Village.

The stone sculpture is exactly what she looks like now, with a big snake under her feet.

A sacrificial ceremony is being held in the village, which is extremely lively.

Seeing the stone carvings, some vague memories came to Shen Qing's mind, as if Yan Baohai had come to look for her before she fell asleep.

A sacrifice was being held before the stone carving, through these pious calls, Shen Qing could even perceive their thoughts.

For a while, Shen Qing felt a little tricky, seeing a group of dolls who didn't understand anything, kneeling in front of the stone sculpture, praying devoutly with the elders in the family, it made people feel a little uncomfortable.

After thinking for a while, Shen Qing retreated, turned into a stream of light, and rushed directly into the mountains and forests.

The deeper the concern with the people in Snake Village, the harder it is to escape, and it is better to have less dealings with them.

Most of the powerful monsters have obvious auras, and each has its own territory, so it is not difficult to find.

Soon, Shen Qing dug out a huge silver-armored lizard from the snow, its strength was quite strong, and it had reached the peak of condensed essence.

But for the current Shen Qing, she was not an opponent at all.

As soon as the silver-armored lizard jumped up, it was pressed to the ground by Shen Qing's palm across the air, struggling and unable to move.

Shen Qing tried to communicate with it, but no matter how hard she tried, the lizard was still resisting and struggling, full of murderous intent.

In the end, Shen Qing could only imitate the red snake and peel off its skin.

As for the monsters and spirit beasts in the Appearance Realm and below, Shen Qing didn't make a move, and didn't even take a look at them.

Firstly, his intelligence is too low to communicate at all, and secondly, this kind of strength is really difficult to protect Snake Village.

Fighting all the way from the south to the north of the mountain range, Shen Qing killed four monsters in the Yuan Condensation Realm, none of them were willing to cooperate, and he would rather die than surrender.

In the end, Shen Qing returned without success, but only accumulated the flesh and scales of a few monsters and other materials.

After returning to the village, Shen Qing gave the flesh and blood of the monster to some villagers of Snake Village, and was thanked again.

In the eyes of most children, Red Snake just keeps them alive, and doesn't treat them as human beings.

Shen Qing made them fill their stomachs and treated them as human beings. The gap between them cannot be measured at all.

The fire of faith burned more and more intensely.

After repairing for half a day, Shen Qing took out the skeletons of those monsters, and referring to some of the spirit patterns studied before, temporarily set up a protective circle for Snake Village.

After doing this, Shen Qing returned to Haoyin City alone, and sold all the demon pills and scale armor in hand, and obtained more than two hundred middle-grade spirit stones.

After getting these spirit stones, Shen Qing couldn't wait to start searching for his target on the street.

The biggest difference between this era and the later generations is that there is a more systematic and standardized way of practice.

Casting, alchemy, practice, and spirit array talisman, these all have something that is lacking in later generations.

integrity.

It's not a shame to walk the old road of the predecessors, at least someone has already walked this road for you, so you won't stumble along it.

It is commendable to bring forth the new through the old, but the premise is to have this ability. If you accidentally go astray, you will only waste your own time.

Among these things, the one that interested Shen Qing the most was the spirit array.

The spirit pattern is the basis for constructing all the laws between the heaven and the earth, and it is the ultimate truth that the talented people from all walks of life have comprehended from the heaven and the earth.

At the same time, this is the most powerful way in the mouth of a Taoist ancestor, so it naturally has a certain reference value.

Shen Qing does not object to learning more things and having one more hole card. For her, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.

Anyway, in this life, she has a lot of time to enrich herself.

Without too much hesitation, Shen Qing quickly chose his first development direction.

Spirit Array Master.

Once you have learned the Spirit Formation and the Forging, you will be self-taught, and it will be easier to learn the Talisman together.

In this case, there is little hesitation.

After deciding on the next path, Shen Qing first arrived at the City Lord's Mansion in Haoyin City.

She wants to get the free apartment first.

Practicing in this kind of aura environment, no matter how poor his talent is, within ten years, Shen Qing can definitely enter the Gangsha Realm with absolute certainty.

It's just that Haoyin City may not be able to last ten years.

The location of the City Lord's Mansion is quite easy to find, but within a cup of tea, Shen Qing arrived in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion is more than three hundred feet in length and width, and there is a square in front of the gate.

In the center of the square stands a jade sculpture, the whole body is shining with the precious light of colored glaze, it is obviously a woman.

Perhaps because of the relationship with the power of faith, Shen Qing felt the power of this god in a vague way the moment he saw the jade carving.

　Change first, change later, it's too late, sorry
