Crow's Paradise

Qi Li was rushing towards Baize Lake.

As he hurried on, he recalled the Guju County Chronicles and Koma City Map Chronicles that he had reviewed.

Jucheng was just a post station at the beginning. After decades of development, people came and went and gathered, and developed into several small towns, and then slowly expanded until it is now known as Jucheng.

The population is sparse but there is no strong organization, and there are often few demons.

As the population increases, the number of demons may increase or decrease.

Often the number of demons increases, but the number of demons that persist for a long time decreases, but occasionally a certain demon persists for a long time.

However, these remaining demons are often not harmful creatures.

The reason is not surprising.

Whenever harmful people and demons appear, no matter how quickly or slowly, the demon incident will be reported, and then the court will send hundreds of disciples to get rid of the demons.

Monsters that harm people will be eliminated when they appear.

But not all monsters will be destroyed.

Occasionally, demons are not harmful, and are even friendly and helpful to others.

There are many reasons for this.

Perhaps the demons here are spiritual creatures deliberately cultivated by hundreds of families and created unintentionally.

Perhaps the demons here had an old relationship with the Dasheng Dynasty, and there were even incidents where the beasts raised by King Sheng turned into demons. The Wang family sent people to welcome the demons and protect Dasheng for many years.

There are many reasons.

The same goes for "Baizehu Jun".

According to the records of the county when Jincheng was still a small county, there was an evil beast on Baize Lake, which was extremely ferocious.

However, when Ju County started, there were many demons nearby.

Some people saw that the evil beasts in the lake killed many demons, and occasionally people were saved by them.

Therefore, there is a legend that there is a fierce king in the lake. He has a strong personality and kills all the demons he sees. He is also called the King of the Lake.

After that, the time of the Lord of the Lake spread among the people.

Disciples from hundreds of families even came to the lake to check it out, and finally identified it as a good thing.

However, later on, floods occasionally broke out in the Ju River, and Baize Lake occasionally swelled. People in Ju County gradually moved northward, extending to Ju City, and Baize Lake gradually moved away from people's sight.

Even in the later records of Koma City, the record of Lord in the Lake only appeared occasionally in fishermen-related events.

Moreover, when this king appeared, he appeared with the description of attacking the fishermen.

This situation is not unusual.

The reason is that demons are like wild cultivators.

In other words, Ye Xiu is just like a demon.

As a Taoist disciple, he is very familiar with this.

The way of spiritual power is that Taoists imitate nature, conform to the general trend, and do something without doing anything. This way of spiritual power is obtained by imitating demons.

Different from "correcting names", the method of correcting names was practiced by the predecessors of Confucianism and the priests of the dynasty.

The way to cultivate wildly with demons is from the same origin but different paths.

To rectify a name, you need to have an official name and no reputation, but it is different for demons and wild cultivators, who need to have a reputation.

But in the records of the past century, even the description of Hu Jun cannot be found.

Regarding the origin of Baize Lake, there may be some deviations.

A demon that encounters this situation will slowly lose its spiritual power, and eventually even turn into an ordinary beast.

The same goes for wild cultivators. After becoming famous, few people know about them, and they will slowly lose their spiritual power and become ordinary people.

As for why Hu Jun was forgotten?

According to Tuzhi, it can be traced back to what happened in Joma City. Due to the struggle between the sons of various families in Zenan Road, the historian of Joma City was implicated in the dismissal of his post and the downfall of the court.

The origin of Baize Lake and other narrative deviations all occurred around this node.

Even, because of the struggle, the rights and wrongs of some things have been distorted or even reversed.

He was also not sure whether there was any inversion in Baizehu Zhongjun's relationship.

The more than ten years of life in Qintian Prison, where the party was united and opposed by different parties, made Qi Li understand that although historians are weak, they are indispensable.

After losing their official position and correcting their names, Taoist disciples will inevitably turn to wild cultivation. Few disciples will be willing to lose their spiritual power and become ordinary people.

However, correcting a name does not require public reputation, and even rumors in the market can be harmful to the person who corrects the name, causing the person who corrects the name to go crazy.

And if you want to go out to cultivate, you need to get a reputation and spread it in the market.

It is difficult to practice in the right field.

After clearing their names and turning to wild cultivators, those who are not familiar with wild cultivators may even be suppressed by the spiritual power of rumors because of the bad reputation that they did not pay attention to before.

At this time, the historian's record was the only way to clear up the stigma.

Because of what happened this time, Qi Li couldn't help but panic when he thought that nothing could be accomplished, leading to devolution or even being dismissed.

But, in the end, the panic turned into helplessness.

All we can do is try our best.

but

Be careful this time.

This kind of forgotten monster hovers between spiritual power and intelligence and no spiritual power and ignorance. It may be innocent one moment and extremely vicious the next moment.

Especially the demon who can be called "Jun".

Before the establishment of the Dasheng Dynasty, the leaders of all countries were called "kings".

In the classification of monsters, those who can be called "jun" are definitely not ordinary monsters.

Coming.

If it takes an ordinary person a long time to walk seventeen or eight miles, it is not difficult for Taoist disciples who have the skill of lightening their bodies.

Yao Yan made the white crow fly back.

And the thing that broke through the water surface also followed the flight path of the white crow.

There was no action. After the underwater thing tried to bite the white crow several times but was destroyed by him and failed to bite, the thing seemed to become furious.

Suddenly, wherever he could see, the center of the lake sank, creating a stormy wave.

And the vortex didn't just appear and die in an instant, but continued to expand rapidly.

"I took the bait. Although the plan has changed, the chess pieces can still be used."

He glanced back, threw a somewhat broken storybook on the ground by the lake, and then continued to release white crows to tease the monster in the lake.

White crows with horns flew out of Yao Yan's body one after another.

rumble--

Amidst the dull rumbles, the black shadow under the lake caused commotion again and again. Amidst the large amounts of water splashes and foam, the huge black shadow jumped out of the lake and crashed down again and again. Even if there were splashes blocking the body, it could only It makes people feel violent.

However, at this moment, the old man Gao who was possessed by Yao Yan turned his head and glanced. As if he had finally waited for something, he flew back towards him by manipulating the white crow playing with the black shadow at the bottom of the lake.

finally reached.

The sight of the lake getting closer and closer made Qi Li feel slightly relieved. He did not hope that being sent by Qin Tianjian this time would really have anything to do with Lord Baize Lake.

but

When he saw the huge water splash explode, his face turned dark.

Shouldn't it be.

After a moment's hesitation, Qi Li gritted his teeth and continued to approach.

As soon as you look into it, the big lake comes into view.

But then, he also saw such a scene.

Just above the surface of the water, there was a two-foot-long black demon, rushing toward an old man by the lake.

The bloody mouth, under his gaze, did not stop at all, bit it down, and swallowed the old man into his mouth.

"How dare you, the demon, harm anyone! Lingqi! Go!"

Qi Li was shocked, scared and angry. He clasped his fingers and palms together, and the flowing spiritual power suddenly formed a spiritual beast with a lion's head and tiger's eyes, and rushed towards the black demon.

However, something that was beyond his expectation was that as soon as the spirit beast he drove with his spiritual power pounced out and its claws landed on the black demon, the black demon let out a roar.

With a roar, the old man who had not been swallowed was thrown out of his mouth.

then--

The huge black demon turned around and escaped into the water.

Lingqi's claws hit the water surface, only to explode into splashes.

But Qi Li didn't dare to wait any longer, knowing that he was not as powerful as him. What he did just now was like jumping over the wall in a hurry. Without stopping, he called Lingqi to lift up the old man who had escaped from the tiger's mouth, and he turned around and ran away.

but

An old book soaked in water fell down not far from the old man, so Qi Li had to ask Lingqi to return again and pick up the book.

There was no danger at all. Amidst the constant roars coming from the lake, Qi Li used his light body technique and quickly escaped.
