Chapter 95: Conscience
"Ma'am, why don't we go back?"
The Scorpion Demon looked at the corpses all over the ground, his courage was broken by fear, and he spoke tremblingly.
"no!"
Before the snake demon could speak, the green snake had already denied it outright. It glared and shouted, "Brother-in-law, so many of our men died. We finally managed to break the trap they set. If we go back now, wouldn't all our efforts be wasted? If we miss today, do you think we will have another chance in the future?"
"My lord, my sister is right!"
The snake demon also nodded in agreement: "That damn god was able to set up such a powerful trap in such a hurry. If we give him enough time, we will have no chance of winning! Today is our last and best chance!"
"Then, then I'll listen to you, Madam!"
The Scorpion Demon didn't have much of his own opinion to begin with, so when he heard the Snake Demon sisters say so, he had no choice but to give up the idea of retreating.
The other monsters don't have this awareness.
Everyone looked at the mountain hidden in the darkness as if they were looking at a terrifying monster with bared fangs and claws. They were so terrified that they didn't dare to move forward.
Even the leaders are no exception!
Most of these monster leaders are in the realm of refining the spirit and returning to the void. In front of Li Anran's formation, they are not much different from those little monsters that have not yet transformed.
The bat leader, spider leader, and wasp leader have all died in the formation, the toad leader has a broken leg, and the crocodile leader has one eye blinded.
Only the centipede monster was luckier and was still intact overall, but its pants were soaked.
Seeing that the snake demon and the scorpion demon were still trying to continue, it didn't want to continue anymore.
The centipede monster glanced around twice, and taking advantage of the chaotic scene, he used his magical power to change size as he wished, shook his body, and turned into a centipede smaller than a palm, and burrowed into the bushes.
call--
At this moment, the centipede leader felt the whistling of wind behind him. He subconsciously looked back and a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face.
However, the snake demon discovered its little trick and used Ruyi on it.
The centipede leader hastily cancelled the spell, restored his original appearance, and begged for mercy: "Madam, please spare my life! Madam, please spare my life..."
The cold wind formed by Ruyi blew across his body, and the centipede monster was frozen into an ice sculpture.
"You still have the nerve to beg for mercy! It's too late!" The snake demon snorted coldly and blew another breath at Ruyi.
Snap! Snap! Snap! Bang!
Cracks appeared on the ice, and the centipede monster's body shattered into ashes along with the ice.
There was dead silence all around.
All the monsters were shocked by the ruthless and cruel methods of the snake demon.
The snake demon was very satisfied. He swept his eyes across the entire place and threatened, "Today is the day for us to fight to the death with those gourd brats! If anyone dares to take a step back, don't blame me for being rude! Now, keep going!"
"Yes! As you command!" The little demons responded in a mess and walked up the mountain reluctantly.
But before they could go far, patches of bright light appeared around them again.
"Oh no! It's coming again!"
"I don't want to die! Run away!"
"Help, ma'am! Help!"
…
The monsters had already become frightened birds. They turned around and ran away, swarming towards the snake demon.
"Stop right there!"
The snake demon was furious, but in the face of life and death, her scolding was of no use.
It was not until she used Ruyi to freeze the fastest fleeing monsters into ice that the remaining monsters stopped in fear. However, they were so frightened that their souls flew away and they could not even stand.
"Sister, this won't go on...Ah!!!"
The snake demon had just finished speaking when it turned into a scream.
A toad spirit that had just retreated to her side pierced her chest with a gun, choking the rest of her words back into her stomach.
Immediately afterwards, the Toad Demon snatched Ruyi away and swept the spear in his hand across, pointing it directly at the green snake's throat.
All this happened too suddenly, Qing Snake had no time to react. Just as she was about to die from the gun, her earrings suddenly glowed with golden light.
when!
A huge gold ingot suddenly appeared and blocked the determined shot, but tiny cracks appeared on the gold ingot, which continued to spread and grow, and finally shattered with a "bang".
Gold flakes scattered all over the sky and turned into copper coins in the air, falling down like a torrential rain.
The toad spirit, or rather Li Anran, retreated after missing the attack.
However, the rain of copper coins was so heavy that it covered the sky. He was unable to retreat immediately, so he had to wave his spear and try to push away the copper coins falling from the sky.
Ding, ding, ding…
When this copper coin first fell, it was no different from ordinary copper coins, the size of an elm coin, round on the outside and square on the inside.
However, as it fell, it continued to grow larger. By the time it reached Li Anran, it was as big as a house, weighed more than ten thousand pounds, and was extremely hard.
Even Li Anran could only knock them away but failed to smash them.
The rain of copper coins lasted for a very short time, but it piled up into a mountain of copper coins on the ground.
A huge black hand stretched out from the huge money hole, with its fangs and claws bared, and came towards it aggressively.
Li Anran leaped backward, made a hand gesture and pointed downwards.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Balls of Samadhi Fire fell from the sky, hitting those pitch-black hands and the mountain of copper coins, and burned fiercely.
Li Anran thought that fire could overcome metal, but what he didn't expect was that the pitch-black giant hand and the mountain of copper coins did not change at all in the Samadhi True Fire, as if his Samadhi True Fire was fake.
On the other side, the Scorpion Demon came to his senses and rushed to the Snake Demon, shouting, "Madam! Madam!"
"My king! Don't worry about me! Quick! Go and get my Ruyi back!"
There was a big hole in , but he just looked pale and a little weak.
She was more concerned about being...
No!
That can't be a toad spirit!
The snake demon took out a magic mirror from his bosom and shone it in the direction of Li Anran.
A white light flashed, and Li Anran's transformation technique could no longer be maintained, and he immediately returned to his original appearance.
"He is the transformed god!" the Scorpion Demon cried out.
The snake demon opened his right hand, clenched it in the air, and a golden light condensed in his palm. He took out the third magic weapon he got from Hulu Mountain, the Hard and Soft Yin-Yang Sword.
She struggled to stand up from the Scorpion Demon's arms, but she stumbled and fell back, unable to even hold on to the Yin-Yang Sword.
"Sister." The green snake had recovered from its panic and said through gritted teeth, "You treat the wound first, and leave this shameless thief to me! God of Wealth!"
Buzz!
The mountain of copper coins suddenly shone brightly, becoming more and more dazzling, and the holes in the coins seemed even darker and deeper, like a black hole vortex that could swallow everything.
Swish!
The huge dark hand suddenly began to stretch out and grabbed towards Li Anran.
Li Anran jumped to dodge, but it was of no use.
The huge dark hand seemed to be able to break through space and appeared directly behind him, grabbing his ankle.
Li Anran's face changed and he tried hard to pull his legs out, but found that he couldn't do it at all.
"What's going on?!"
Li Anran's Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong has now broken through the fourth revolution. In terms of strength alone, he is even stronger than Nezha's lotus body. Even moving mountains is not a problem for him.
But those big black hands seemed to have endless power.
He tried his best, but still, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot or an ant trying to shake a tree, he couldn't move the opponent at all.
"No! This is not a question of strength!"
Li Anran keenly noticed that the God of Wealth in front of him was a bit similar to Ruyi who could freeze wind, fire, and lightning. The difference was not in strength, but in power that was close to rules.
"As you wish, as my heart desires, may it appear soon."
Li Anran did not hesitate at all. He silently recited the magic formula and imitated the snake spirit, blowing a breath at Ruyi.
call!
A cold wind blew by.
The big black hand that stretched out from the money hole was directly frozen in the ice.
"This is impossible! How could he know the formula of Ruyi???!!!"
The snake demon and the scorpion demon were horrified and could not believe what they were seeing.
The green snake was much calmer and said, "Maybe he also has the ability of the orange gourd's sharp ears and overheard your spell, sister!"
Seeing Li Anran looking at them, the green snake didn't dare to delay any longer. It quietly made some hand gestures with its right hand, and the other dark hand stretched out silently from the hole in the coin.
While Li Anran was not paying attention, he grabbed his ankle and dragged him into the money pit.
The green snake laughed loudly and said to the snake spirit proudly: "Sister, I will return the Ruyi to you later! But, sister, you must hide the Ruyi well in the future, and don't let anyone overhear the formula and steal it away!"
The snake demon said worriedly, "Sister, the power of that god is even greater than those gourd kids, and he has my magic weapon, so you must not be careless!"
The green snake said, "Don't worry, sister! He can't escape! My magic weapon is called Qian Tongshen."
"No matter who he is, once he falls into the money trap, he will fall into a bottomless abyss. Even if he has great abilities, he will never be able to climb out!"
"I see."
The snake demon regretted giving the treasure bag to the green snake.
She and the Scorpion Demon couple seemed to have taken three of the four magic weapons and got the lion's share.
However, the Treasure Bag has more uses. Not only is it a magic weapon itself, but it can also be used to refine magic weapons. One piece is equivalent to tens of millions of pieces.
It is far beyond the reach of Ruyi, Magic Mirror and the Hard and Soft Yin-Yang Sword.
“That’s not all!”
The green snake proudly showed off his masterpiece and said, "The ingot at the beginning was called 'Money makes the world go round.' The more greedy he was, the heavier the ingot became and the more powerful it became."
"And the copper coin behind is called 'One penny can make a hero fail'. And these ten million copper coins can make ten million heroes fail. Do you think he can still escape?"
"Sister, this magic weapon is really ingenious! If it were me, your elder sister, I would never have been able to think of it!" The snake spirit exclaimed sourly.
"Me too." The Scorpion Spirit nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
boom!
At this moment, the mountain of copper coins trembled violently, and many copper coins rolled down.
"What's going on?"
The Scorpion Spirit was startled and asked anxiously, "Is the God going to come out?"
The green snake said confidently: "Brother-in-law, you can rest assured! That god is just struggling in his death throes. He will never escape from the eyes of money..."
Before the green snake finished speaking, there was another "boom" sound, and the Copper Coin Mountain shook again, and the movement was much louder than before.
"Sister, let's move back a little!" said the snake spirit.
The green snake wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, the roar in the copper coin mountain became louder and louder, and countless copper coins rolled down the mountain.
The green snake's expression suddenly changed. It no longer had the confidence and assurance it had before. It silently followed the snake demon and the scorpion demon and retreated a little, but its eyes were still fixed on the mountain of copper coins, not believing that anyone could crawl out from the money hole.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There were a few more loud noises, and the movement in the Copper Coin Mountain gradually disappeared.
The green snake was delighted and said, "I said, it's impossible for someone to..."
boom!
A loud noise interrupted the green snake's words.
The entire mountain of copper coins suddenly exploded, and countless copper coins flew everywhere, smashing the surrounding little monsters, causing them to bleed and scream in pain.
The green snake was so frightened that its face turned pale. It quickly took out its treasure bag and chanted, "Change quickly! Change quickly!"
The treasure bag emitted golden light, and a shield flew out, growing in the wind and blocking the copper coins falling from the sky.
"Sister, what should we do now?"
The snake demon panicked and said, "If the god has Ruyi in his hand, we will be frozen in an instant!"
"What are you afraid of? Just don't give him the chance to use his power!"
The green snake held the treasure bag in his hand.
A flash of light flashed, and a fan flew out from the brocade bag, fanning vigorously in the direction of the copper coin mountain.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless evil winds howled, blowing up sand and rocks.
In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, the sun and the moon lost their light, and the already dim night suddenly became pitch black.
Immediately afterwards, another palm-sized embroidered shoe flew out from the treasure bag and blended silently into the black wind.
The snake demon couldn't help but ask, "Sister, what are these fan and these little shoes of yours?"
The green snake said: "The wind from my fan is evil. It can not only confuse people's eyes and ears, but also confuse their minds. This little shoe is naturally for the god to wear. Even if he can get rid of the money, he can't stand this evil wind and this little shoe."
The snake demon and the scorpion demon looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally gave a thumbs up: "Great! Really great! Sister's ability to read people's minds is unmatched by the two of us!"
But at this moment, a golden light lit up, directly piercing through the evil wind that covered the sky and the sun, and turned into a big hand, grabbing the folding fan in mid-air.
Tear!
The golden hand pulled hard and tore the fan into pieces, and the evil wind in the sky disappeared instantly.
Bang!
A black shadow hit the Scorpion Demon on the head.
"Ouch!" The Scorpion Demon cried out in pain. The two Snake Demons looked down and their faces changed drastically.
The black shadow turned out to be a worn-out shoe with a big hole in it and no luster at all!
Next second.
Li Anran's figure appeared in mid-air.
Green Snake Erhu said nothing, took off the golden hairpin on her head, and chanted silently: "One, two, three, four, five, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, change!"
The golden hairpin was emitting light, and eighteen kinds of weapons, including swords, spears, forks, halberds, sticks, etc., kept changing and flew towards Li Anran.
“Ahhhhhhh!” The Scorpion Demon rushed forward, waving his double axes and gritting his teeth.
The snake demon endured his injured body and held the Yin-Yang sword in his palm.
But before she could cast the spell, Li Anran had already blew three breaths at Ruyi.
The first cold wind froze the snake demon and her hard and soft yin-yang sword into the ice.
The second cold wind froze the Scorpion Demon.
The third cold wind froze all eighteen weapons into a big block of ice.
Li Anran said, "Snake demon, your tricks are quite interesting! Do you have any new tricks?"
The green snake was ready to flee, but when he heard this, his eyes rolled around, and he stopped and said with a smile, "Lord God is indeed extraordinary. I really admire you! I do have other methods, but I don't know if you dare to try them!"
Li Anran laughed in silence: "You don't need to use provocation, just use whatever skills you have."
"Okay!" The green snake took out a treasure bag, a flash of light appeared, and a big pot flew out of the bag.
This pot looks no different from the pot used for cooking in the countryside. The bottom of the pot is black and covered with a wooden lid.
The green snake said, "If you can cook this pot of rice, Lord God, then we will let you do whatever you want with us!"
Li Anran looked at the black pot in front of him and said, "Is this... a big pot of rice?"
The green snake widened its eyes and looked at Li Anran in disbelief.
He never expected that the means he had painstakingly prepared to deal with the Fire Baby would be seen through by Li Anran at a glance.
"For this big pot of rice..."
Li Anran didn't hesitate and threw the spear in his hand over.
Bang!
The big iron pot broke into pieces.
"Instead of taking the trouble to cook it, it's better to smash it early! Don't you think so?"
The green snake almost couldn't catch its breath and said angrily: "We are competing to see if you can cook the rice, not to let you smash the pot! You are breaking the rules!"
Li Anran shook his head and said, "If anyone wants to take advantage of me by using the rules, don't blame me for overturning the table."
The green snake was dumbfounded.
Zhen Yuanzi in the void felt a tremor in his heart.
If anyone wants to take advantage of me by using the rules, don't blame me for overturning the table...
Is this the fate that befell this boy?
Li Anran didn't know this and was still urging Qing Snake: "Keep going! If you have anything interesting, take it out and let me see it! As long as you can beat me once, I will let you go!"
"Okay! That's what you said!"
The green snake took out a transparent glass bottle from the treasure bag with hatred, which was filled with black unknown liquid.
She was afraid that Li Anran would not play by the rules again, so she poured the black liquid in the glass bottle directly into the pool of water not far away.
"As long as you dare to take a bath in this pool and come out safely, you win."
"Is it possible to stay clean this time? Interesting!"
Li Anran jumped in without hesitation.
It's not that he is reckless and impulsive and doesn't know the consequences, but he has confirmed that this snake demon is a tool specially arranged by Ancestor Hongyun or Zhen Yuanzi!
They are here to provide opportunities!
And it’s a great opportunity!
These magic weapons of the snake demon are not so much a means of hurting people as a kind of experience to examine one's conscience.
Similar to the story in The Lotus Lantern, Yang Jian set three tests for Chenxiang on Mount Hua: courage, backbone, and loyalty.
Once passed, it will be of great benefit to those who practice.
However, the snake demon's magic weapon of self-examination is different from the general self-examination.
General self-examination is an improvement of one's character. Although it does exist, it is invisible and intangible.
But the snake demon's magic weapon, Questioning the Heart, can not only improve one's state of mind, but also improve one's cultivation!
Li Anran didn't know how Patriarch Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi did it, but every time he cracked a magic weapon, his state of mind and cultivation would be greatly improved.
In just half an hour, his cultivation had risen from the first level of celestial immortal to the sixth level of celestial immortal!
Converted into system experience points, this is a full 5 billion!
even.
Li Anran had a vague premonition that as long as he could pass the seven levels set by the Green Snake for the Calabash Brothers, he would be able to break through to the Xuanxian realm without going through the system!
This is also the reason why he has not killed the snake demon and is even willing to experience the magic weapons refined by the snake demon one by one!
