Add some practice: start with a lucid dream

"So I survived like this. I was transported all the way to the mountains and raised in a lake."

"My master is a child."

"At first he was very interested in me and liked to eat raw meat from my body. But after he got used to it, he forgot about me. He never saw me again, and no one came to feed me."

"But the Yuan Qi on that mountain is so rich that it's unimaginable. I don't even need to eat much food. I can survive as long as I soak in the floating clouds from time to time."

"I want to escape, but there is a sealing formation around the lake, and the eye of the formation is the head of the dragon."

"That's too much!" Hui stomped his feet angrily, and even began to complain for the doctor.

"I can only get used to it." The doctor's tone remained unchanged, but his head drooped lower and lower.
"I have to get used to seeing the dead eyes of my friends every day, and I have to get used to the miserable howls of the monsters coming from the mountains and down the mountains."

"In order to maintain the concentration of Yuan Qi, human monks have to kill a large number of monsters every day to water the spiritual spring."

"Every day I have to convince myself to ignore the screams so that I can get a short while of peaceful sleep."

"But I'm not alone. I'm not the only one in that lake, there are other demon clans who were detained."

"Even the demons native to the dry land were squeezed in and forced to get used to living underwater."

"Compared to me, they have much more knowledge."

"Because everyone has nothing to do and there is no shortage of Yuan Qi nourishment, so we can only get together every day to communicate and relieve loneliness."

"They won't fight each other, because if there is one less monster, there will be one less person for entertainment."

"Haha. It's so ironic. What I couldn't do when I dominated the seabed was actually achieved in a cage."

"Through them, I know everything I can know, including this world, humans, demons, and many, many more."

"I thought I would die there of old age, but those days were actually not long, and the changes happened much faster than I thought."

"The environment between heaven and earth is getting worse and worse. The vibrations I feel through the lake are becoming more and more frequent. The demon clan with good ears and eyes said that they saw the human clan on the mountain fighting among themselves, and the resources are becoming increasingly insufficient."

"Everyone is very scared, afraid that those humans will think of this lake and us forgotten monsters."

"I know it too, so I've been waiting."

"Until one day, I saw that the dragon's head suddenly became dim. This change was very subtle, but I am sure I saw it correctly."

"Because every day, I see my friend countless times, and I can never forget what he looks like in my dreams."

"I knew that the formation must have become loose due to some accident, so I convinced all the demons to keep the timid ones behind and the bold ones to follow me and rush out."

"We rushed outside again and again, until my skin and flesh were torn, until my friend's head was completely smashed into pieces."

"The formation was broken, and the mud outside the lake made my face feel salty, but I didn't have time to think about it. I had to continue to escape."

"I originally thought there would be many difficulties along the way, but it turned out to be very easy. No one came to stop us at all."

"I led everyone to control the lake water, and worked together to expand the river and flow it to the palace at the foot of the mountain."

"Imperial palace?" Among the three audience members, Hui was the most fascinated.

"At the bottom of the mountain is the palace." The doctor further explained,

"The people who lived in that high mountain were the supporters behind the dynasty at that time."

"It was only when we went to the foot of the mountain to capture mortals for interrogation that we found out that the monks were fighting with each other and wanted to fight for the world. This caused turmoil in the dynasty and led to an uprising among the people."

"Of course, the popular uprisings are all under cover. Behind these turmoils and disputes, the monks are actually leading the way."

"And almost all the monks on our mountain went out to deal with a powerful figure called 'General Tiangong'."

General Tiangong?

Chen Ze, who had been silent all this time, thought about it for a moment and then interjected,

"Zhang Jiao of the Yellow Turban Army's Taiping Road?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiao, who had an intersection with Chen Ze because of Xianyue Mountain, would indirectly affect the doctor's fate.

"It's him." The doctor raised his head again.

"While the defense was empty, we defeated a few young monks who were left behind and then broke up and ran for their lives."

"That was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Since then, I have been wandering around with rivers, mountains and water systems."

Immediately afterwards, the doctor told about his thousand-year exile in the mortal world. Hearing the snake's self-confirmation, she was so sympathetic that she couldn't even eat the barbecue that Chen Ze pushed in to tease her.

This kind of exile life of precariousness, lack of food, displacement, and constant fear is simply a common suffering engraved in the memory of their demon race.

"I thought that outside the deep sea, there would be at least one place where there would be no fighting or fighting."

"However, when I traveled across hundreds of rivers, I found that all life on the earth was in ruins, people were suffering everywhere, and the sky was angry and people were complaining."

"I thought the land was filled with light, but in fact it was completely dark. It was just another deep sea."

"Other than it being a little brighter, it's no different from the deep sea where I used to be. It's still fighting and fighting."

"But among all these races, I can find the race that is closest to my ideal, and that is the human race."

"What I care about is not those monks with powerful magic powers, but those ordinary people who are similar to ants."

"They are weak and weak. They are born to face many hardships. Any chaos in war can kill them. In order to survive, they are no different from beasts most of the time."

"But there are always some people who are like pearls in the sea. No matter what the situation is, they will stick to the bottom line and not harm others, even foreigners."

"I saw that the palace was rising, the world was at peace, and everything was harmonious and prosperous."

"Then it can take as short as a few decades or as long as a hundred years. When the dynasty changes and the towers collapse, the world will be in chaos again."

"As a result, mortals were ruined and displaced, and began to fight and devour each other."

"I don't know how many times I've seen this kind of reincarnation."

"During these countless reincarnations, I have also thought about applying what I did at the bottom of the sea to the human race."

"I found a deep peach blossom forest, at the end of the stream, where there is the abandoned cave of the Immortal family, and it is protected by a formation barrier. I moved many mortals in, and let them live and work in peace and contentment here, where men farm and women weave."

"Occasionally, people will come in by mistake. Those who want to stay stay, and I won't stop those who don't want to stay."

"I have never appeared to interfere in their lives. Even the residents in Taoyuan don't know my existence. They thought that I followed my ancestors to migrate here to avoid the wars of the Qin Dynasty."

"But then the human monks came in, and everything became empty."

"In the end, I escaped from Taoyuan and lived the same wandering life as before."

"Until I noticed the strange movement in the mountains and rivers, which was a call originating from the depths of my blood, so I followed this breath and came to Qinling." "Qinling!" Hearing this keyword, Hai, who was originally depressed, Suddenly his eyes lit up,
"Isn't it the late Northern Song Dynasty?"

"Yes." The doctor also looked at Hui,

"I saw that the human dynasty in that life was about to collapse, and the monks behind it were going to stir up disputes again, so I thought of going to a remote place to hide."

"But the closer I get to the Qinling Mountains, the harder it becomes to extricate myself."

"I restrained my instinct and lurked at the bottom of the river near Qinling Mountains to guard."

"All kinds of monsters kept passing by me in those days, all heading towards the Qinling Mountains."

"Some are extremely weak, and some are so powerful that their breath makes me tremble. I thought the demon clan was almost dead before, but I didn't expect there were so many hidden in the secret."

"They all came out of the darkness and entered the Qinling Mountains."

"I'm getting more and more excited, always feeling like something big is going to happen, but I still wait."

"Until one night, I saw a monster that I had never seen before, flying in the clouds and mists, like those high-ranking human monks, entering the Qinling Mountains."

"I'm very surprised. I've obviously never seen its race, nor have I seen a demon that can use magical powers like the human race, but I just know that it is a demon."

Hearing this, Hui slapped his thigh and gestured to the doctor,
"Isn't it so big? It's about the same size as a buffalo, and then it looks like a tiger, with fur like a hedgehog, and a pair of wings!"

"Sure enough, you were there at the time." The doctor acquiesced.
"You've seen that 'Qiongqi' too."

Upon hearing this, Xu Guifeng, who had been silent for a long time, was surprised and said,

"You've actually met before?"

"It just looks familiar." Hui explained,
"As soon as I saw this strange fish, I thought it looked familiar, but it was a little different from before."

Chen Ze, who was on the side, also held his chin and smoothed over the intersection between the doctor and Hui.

Hui had told him before that she was directed by Zhang Jixian, the 30th Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, to take refuge in the Qinling Mountains.

The doctor was called to Qinling Mountains by some kind of call.

What the doctor said next was consistent with what Hui told Chen Ze.

That is, many human monks surrounded and killed Qiongqi. The two sides fought so hard that the Qinling Mountains completely collapsed and became a mess.

Although the doctor was cautious and stayed far away, he was still unavoidable in the intense fight and was seriously injured and dying.

The snake, which was also seriously injured and dying, survived by devouring Qiongqi's flesh and blood, but Chen Ze could not feel the special corrosive Yuan Qi in either the doctor's clone or the body behind him.

Hui was also confused about this and expressed it,
"You also survived by eating Qiongqi's flesh and blood, right?"

"Why don't you have it on you?"

"No." The doctor promptly denied it and shook his head.

"I did not swallow Qiongqi's flesh and blood."

"Huh?" Hui was even more puzzled.

"I did lick some scattered blood, and I also know the power contained in that flesh and blood."

At this point, the doctor pointed at the snake with his mushy eyes, and then immediately looked away,
"It's just that there was a giant python that was devouring the place where the flesh and blood were scattered, even the rocks and mud slopes. If it hadn't been far away, even I would have been sucked in."

"How dare you go there and grab flesh and blood?"

"." Hui was silent.

"Isn't it like this?" Chen Ze raised one hand, and like a holographic image, he showed the snake body of the snake "in life".

With just one glance, the doctor nodded repeatedly, unwilling to stay too long, as if he was still frightened. I really don't know how much of a psychological shadow it left.

"." Hui looked at Chen Ze for two seconds and threatened fiercely,
"Don't call me big fat snake!"

"I didn't say anything." Chen Ze casually dispersed the light curtain and motioned for the doctor to continue.

"That's it." The doctor had solved a "knot in his heart" and continued without thinking too much,
"Although I didn't swallow Qiongqi's flesh and blood, I saw that fat head. Oh, I mean, I guessed the effect of that flesh and blood when I saw the strange appearance on your body at that time."

"I had no choice but to try to eat the corpses of other monsters when I was about to die, hoping that it would have some effect."

"The demon race is ineffective. I will try to devour the human race."

"The corpses of those human monks?" Hui finally understood and muttered quietly,

"No wonder I didn't find it then."

The doctor ignored Hui's complaints and continued,
"As a result, the body was not found, but we met several human monks who were seriously injured and still breathing."

"They. They actually have the limbs of other human races and even demon races fused into their bodies. They all look like monsters."

"As soon as they saw me swimming over, they cast a spell to arrest me, trying to blend in with me."

"Wait a minute." Hearing the key point, Hui couldn't help but interrupt the doctor.
"You're too crazy. Why do those monsters appear?"

"I didn't find out until later." The doctor didn't talk nonsense.
"Those are the descendants of Ge Hong's disciples, and they have mastered the secret method of 'Corpse Unraveling Immortal'. They were all normal people at first, but they used the secret method when they were about to die."

"That's not how Zhijie Xian is used, right?" Chen Ze also interjected at this time.

He is no stranger to Ge Hong. He is the grandson of Ge Xuange, one of the four great Taoist masters. He is well-known for his medical achievements and has written classics on medical skills such as "Emergency Prescriptions Behind the Hands" and "Baopuzi". .

On the other hand, Ge Hongshi, known as the "Little Immortal", also made great achievements in Taoism. Among them, he proposed the concept of "decomposition and ascension".

However, "Zi Jie Xian" emphasizes the abandonment of the body and the ascension of the soul, which is obviously inconsistent with the doctor's statement.

"It is definitely far from the original 'Corpse Revealing Immortal Technique'." The doctor did not deny Chen Ze's doubts.

"Perhaps it is because they have kept pace with the times and integrated into medical techniques, or perhaps it has something to do with the Qiongqi they rounded up. In short, the effect presented to me is to fuse other people's bodies and even alien limbs, plunder the essence, and thus preserve the body. vitality."

"In order to survive, they really don't care about anything. Even an ugly monster like me has to forcibly merge to seize life."

Hui also mentioned similar things. Life and death are of paramount importance. Regardless of race, it is not strange to turn into anything in order to survive.

"It's a pity." The doctor pointed to his own body without looking back.

"They also sought medical treatment in a hurry. They underestimated my racial talent, my vitality, and my will to survive."

"I'm not willing to die like this."

"So after the fusion, I became the leader of this body" (End of Chapter)
