Yefutidaolu

Chapter 156 Rat Time
Everything disappeared, and the lake of my heart returned to calm.

The emptiness in my chest also disappeared.

At the same time, Gao Jian stopped activating the rusty knife, and the lake of his heart began to thaw. Then, Gao Jian suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his "inner heart".

In his hand, there was still a rusty knife, and nothing seemed to have changed.

However, in the other hand, there was a token that seemed to be made of pure gold and had a strange charm on it.

This kind of charm seemed to bring about some kind of change, but he couldn't put it into words.

As for the originally turbulent heart lake and rusty knife, they calmed down and the feeling of emptiness disappeared.

Gao Jian sat there, feeling that... the scene just now was so abrupt, it didn't seem like something that would happen to him.

"Damn, what's going on?" Gao Jian looked at the rusty knife, looking helpless and scratching his head.

He is very smart, so he has figured things out.

It's just a little bit hard to believe.

His questioning of the dream just now seemed to have really affected certain existences in the dream, so that the other party found him. It was the other party's call just now that caused his emptiness.

As for this token... there is a charm on it.

Would you like to try it?

Gao Jian glanced at the sharp edge of the rusty knife and saw that it still had five inches left.

An inch of it was just used to clear the lake of my heart and drive away those strange whispers.

In fact, he was going to use the remaining ones to comprehend the fifth level of the Xuanhua Tongmen Da Dao Ge... Although he is only in the third realm now, the Xuanhua Tongmen Da Dao Ge will always be his first priority.

But, I care a lot about this token.

After thinking for a while, Gao Jian looked at the rusty knife and saw that it still had five inches of sharpness.

done.

He immediately lowered his head, activated the rusty knife without hesitation, and began to comprehend the charm of this sign!

Don't be afraid of eggs, the rusty knife is so powerful! Go, go, go!
----------

At the same time...Shu Jian was walking on the street.

This chinchilla bear walks on all fours in an ordinary way.

Although he could walk on two legs, he chose not to do so because he did not transform.

This is something that is hard to believe when you tell it to others. A great demon in the seventh realm did not even transform.

As a rodent, he was naturally born with defects. He had three levels and nine orifices, while mice only had two levels and seven orifices. His upper limit was naturally the ninth level, and now he had almost reached that limit.

If you want to continue to progress, you need to transform.

But for some reason, Shu Jian did not want to transform.

What will it look like after transformation?
I heard that they will become smarter because humans are naturally smart, so after the monsters transform, they will also become like humans.

All primates are very smart.

There are 360 feathered insects, and the phoenix is the leader. There are 360 hairy insects, and the unicorn is the leader. There are 360 armored insects, and the divine tortoise is the leader. There are 360 scaled insects, and the true dragon is the leader. There are 360 naked insects, and the human being is the leader. This is the beautiful category of heaven and earth, and the number of birds, beasts, and all things.

The five kinds of primates all have the three gates and nine orifices complete, their inner world is perfect and flawless, and they have no obstacles in their practice. They are naturally superior to all other races.

The monsters' transformation method can help them imitate these primates.

Among them, humans are the primates, and their numbers are extremely large. They can be seen everywhere. The primates that monsters are most likely to imitate are humans, so the number of transformed humans is quite large.

Similarly, humans, as primates, can also become the 'precious medicine' of the transformation method. As long as the humans are eaten, the progress of transformation into humans and the monster's own cultivation will increase rapidly.

However, in most cases, it is humans who eat monsters. The power of the Divine Dynasty is incredibly strong. As a human dynasty, even farmers have the ability to hunt monsters all over the mountains and use them to pay taxes.

Therefore, the blood sacrifice could have such a huge temptation that it even swept the entire Cangzhou into it.

It is also possible to become other primates, such as the wild dragons in Baishan River. They are actually aquatic creatures, some are fish, some are snakes, but through the method of transformation, they all transformed into dragons.

Such a dragon is called a 'demon dragon'.

There are many different types of evil dragons. A horse that turns into an evil dragon is called a conglong, a shell that turns into a dragon is called a mirage dragon, a snake that can turn into a viper dragon, a fish that turns into a dragon is called a ichthyosaur, and other evil dragons transformed from scaly creatures are called jiaolong. There are many different types of evil dragons.

These are the same as the transformation into humans. When a fox transforms into a human, it will retain some of the fox's characteristics. When a rabbit transforms into a human, it will retain some of the rabbit's characteristics. This is because they are still monsters, not true primates. There is nothing wrong with calling them "monsters." Or, as humans say, they would call them "so-and-so spirits" or "so-and-so monsters," and they don't even bother to include the word "human."

The real dragons are the same, they always look down on monsters.

Birds pay homage to the phoenix and beasts follow the unicorn. It is the same. Primates are noble and powerful, and they can look down on the existence of monsters.

But even so, it couldn't stop the monsters from trying their best to transform.

Almost all monsters strive to become fully primates.

The evil dragons want to walk through the Dragon Gate and transform into real dragons. Those spirits also always like to integrate into the human society and become a part of the Divine Dynasty.

This is a trend, and it has all benefits no matter how you look at it.

The number of enlightenments will increase, talents will become stronger, the speed of practice will become faster, and the brain will become smarter.

But Shu Jian himself doesn't like it.

Therefore, even after he reached the seventh level of cultivation, he always maintained his original form.

Shushan is not without a transformed form either, many of his friends have transformed.

But Shu Jian felt that after they transformed, they looked more like "humans" and less like "rats".

They can drink from wine cups, pick up food with chopsticks, and even live in houses and wear silk and satin. Even when mating, they need betrothal gifts and dowries, and have a first and second wife. Their lives are no different from those of humans.

Shu Jian doesn't like it.

He doesn't want these, he is more comfortable now.

A mouse is a mouse, why must it pretend to be a human? Speak human language, eat human food, just like those weirdos in Baishanjiang, who want to turn into a dragon, learn to be a human, and integrate into the Divine Dynasty, making themselves look like a hodgepodge.

So, the golden bear moved on its four short legs and walked through the crowd. Surrounded by human legs, horse legs, and other spiritual beasts, a small golden bear was too inconspicuous. In addition, for some reasons that Shu Jian himself could not understand, no one noticed him at all.

He swaggered through the crowd and came to Jinyouzhai, walking in as if no one was around.

The welcoming green cicadas didn't notice at all that a golden mantis cricket pupa came in, and they were still falling to the ground one by one.

The furnishings of all branches of Jinyouzhai are similar, and it is obvious that there are fixed decoration standards.

Among these specifications, the most famous is the Fanzhen tree in the middle of the tree. Every branch of Jinyouzhai has a transplanted aerial root of the Fanzhen tree, which can be regarded as the incarnation of the real ten thousand year old giant tree.

The Fanzhen tree has a spring of eight thousand years and an autumn of eight thousand years. It bears fruit once in spring and autumn. The fruit is like sweet dew and is a top-notch treasure from heaven and earth. The most amazing thing about this tree is not its body but its aerial roots.

Its aerial roots can produce small trees and nourish the surroundings, turning Jinyouzhai into a small independent "blessed land" that can suppress the natural conflicts of various treasures.

In fact, all kinds of treasures will fight among themselves, and it is easy to cause a situation where water and fire are incompatible. For example, something like Thousand-Year-Old Yanan, if combined with gloomy energy, will produce Mao Wood disaster and food snatching as illness. At this moment, if there is a treasure of Gui Water next to it, it is easy for Gui Water to lose its energy and be unable to control the disaster, which will cause the various treasures to conflict with each other, sometimes it is an open conflict, and sometimes it is a hidden conflict. If someone lives between these two treasures for a long time, it will cause decline, leading to the exhaustion of luck, the destruction of the family and the death of oneself.

The Fanzhen Tree can nourish spiritual herbs and raise spiritual insects. The giant tree itself has the charm of Mother Earth and has the ability to make all the treasures around it live in harmony. Even if they are incompatible, they will still be safely preserved under the shade of the aerial roots of this big tree.

Jinyouzhai is able to store so many treasures, and regardless of whether their personalities are incompatible, this big tree can be said to have played a vital role.

In addition, there are green cicadas perched on it. The green-clothed boys and girls who are responsible for guidance and sales are actually quite good monsters. They live on the exotic trees and are considered the landmark of Jinyouzhai, as famous as its trademark.

Shu Jian had also heard a saying in Shushan that the endless stream of "cicada monkeys" on the ancient battlefield, as well as hundred-year-old cicadas, thousand-year-old cicadas and the like, were actually all related to Jinyouzhai.

Normally speaking, no matter how many cicadas there are in the ancient battlefield, they will not reproduce until they crawl up and shed their skins to become real cicadas. It doesn't matter whether it takes a hundred or a thousand years, they will all be killed sooner or later.

It can even be said that there is no such thing as a hundred-year Zen. All cicadas should be three thousand year cicadas.

But... there will be a constant stream of cicada monkeys born in ancient battlefields, and even things like the seventeen-year cicada that have just appeared in recent years.

It can be seen that there is something strange.

Who is burying cicada monkey eggs in the ancient battlefield?
Many people secretly speculated that this might be related to Jin Youzhai's Cui Chan, but Jin Youzhai never paid attention to these questions. After all, he was just a businessman, and there was really no need for him to respond to everything.

For a businessman, it is enough to maintain his credit and capital. Some rumors are just worthless and are not worth mentioning. He will never take them seriously.

Shu Jian stood under the tree and watched the green-clad boys skillfully receiving customers. He waited for a long time, but none of the green-clad boys noticed Shu Jian.

This made Shushu look very unhappy.

No, I'm not hiding my presence! I'm standing here with my head held high!
But after waiting for a long time, no one paid any attention to him.

So he climbed down, got on all fours, and walked towards the inside of Jinyouzhai like a cricket pupae. Then he looked around and found a place to sit down.

Shu Jian didn't like very wide places. He felt more comfortable in narrow corners, so he found a place in the gap between a pile of dusty empty boxes.

He just lay there, quietly waiting for Gao Jian to come.

From beginning to end, no one noticed the cute light yellow rat, whether on the streets of Cangzhou or in Jinyouzhai, and Shu Jian was obviously used to it and just stayed there quietly.

However, he was not just standing there in a daze. In fact, he was observing all kinds of living beings in Youzhai.

Places like Jinyouzhai are a hodgepodge of all kinds of people, and there are always all kinds of things happening here, making it exceptionally exciting.

He saw that someone had nailed a "fire" sign on the door of Jinyouzhai, as if they were renovating the room.

The big fire is the fire of the heart and is one of the twenty-eight constellations in the sky.

The heart is the great fire of the sky, and Chen and Xu are the two tombs of fire. Therefore, in the last month of spring, the heart is dark and appears in Chen, and fire comes out. In the last month of autumn, the heart is dark and appears in Xu, and it is taken in. Mao is the bright hall of the heart, and at this time, the fire is very strong.

This constellation is the symbol of autumn. The so-called "flying fire in July" actually means that the flow of heart fire begins to appear in the sky, which means that autumn is coming and the weather will turn cooler, so the next thing that follows is "giving clothes in September."

"The Great Fire is called the Great Star" in the Book of Heaven. "The Great Fire is the heart, and it is the brightest among all things, so it governs the time."

Why nail a heart fire on your door at this time? There are no gods now, and it is impossible for stars to descend to the earth.

In ancient times, when gods still existed, shamans could pray for them to descend to earth. At that time, it was not uncommon for stars to descend to earth.

But it's useless now.

I guess it's just for decoration. After all, the symbol of Heart Fire is quite beautiful. The scorching fire in July is a very beautiful astronomical phenomenon, quite magnificent.

He looked to the other side, which was blocked by a simple spell, but he could still see clearly.

Jinyouzhai claims to have everything, so... this place even has people to sell.

However, Jinyouzhai does not sell anything themselves. They just set up a place similar to a flea market inside where people can come here to sell things. They can sell anything. Jinyouzhai is in charge of watching over the place and taking the money, but it doesn't matter whether the goods are real or fake.

Once, Gao Jian saw an old cow that was almost turning into a monster and an old man in Jinyouzhai. It was like this, they came here to sell themselves.

You can just put a straw tag on your head to show that you are going to sell yourself.

So, Shu Jian saw that there was someone selling his body over there, a man dressed in rags.

The buyer was negotiating the price, wanting to buy the man for three gold coins, but the way of selling him was different, not as a slave, but as a killer.

Three golds, buy him to carry out a suicide attack, regardless of success.

The man agreed.

This made Shu Jian sigh. He might have never seen anyone who would kill for three hundred thousand golds, but people who would kill for three golds were everywhere.

You can buy people with little money, but you can’t buy them with a lot of money. This is also a wonder of the human race.

He looked to the other side.

Over there, Jin Youzhai was introducing business, and it seemed that he was introducing things to some Buddhist disciples, saying that he wanted to help them become monks.

Shu Jian curled his lips, not understanding what this person was buying.

In his eyes, those Buddhists who always talk about "emptiness" and "nothingness" are just a mutual aid group for the mentally ill, and one of the patients is mistaken for a doctor by the others.

There are few normal people among the gods. They are all trash who claim to be kind but stand idly by when something happens.

Look over there again—

Ok?
Gao saw it?

Wait, he's in the fourth realm?!
