Chapter 280 Sacrifice to Saiguo
Luo Te used the Taiyi Xuanqing Jue and used his powerful life force to carefully create a vibrant oasis around Huoyan Mountain. Afterwards, he used super-concentrated compressed spiritual crystals to create artificial rainfall. The spiritual crystals contained a large amount of fresh water drawn from Tongtian River and the four seas. The sealed fresh water fell like a torrential rain, bringing spiritual energy-rich rain to the oasis. The rain nourished everything, making the new plants more luxuriant, as if every leaf was shining with the brilliance of life.
However, this amazing operation, although it brought new life to the barren land around the Flame Mountain, also cost Roth a lot of mana and precious super-concentrated compressed spirit crystals. But at the same time, Roth also gained a lot of merit. You know, the Merit Golden Lotus clone of Taishang Laojun is in Roth, and these merit powers can be used to nourish the Merit Golden Lotus clone, and even provide assistance for his cultivation.
Now, they were getting closer and closer to the Xitian Lingshan Mountain. Once they crossed the Huoyan Mountain, they would be out of the territory of Xiliang County. The Huoyan Mountain had always been the natural boundary between the Xiliang Women's Kingdom and the Jisai Kingdom. Due to the blazing fire of the Huoyan Mountain, there was basically no communication between the two countries. This seemed to be an insurmountable obstacle.
Xuanzang and his disciples left Huoyan Mountain and officially entered the territory of Jisai Kingdom. According to the original book, the national treasure of Jisai Kingdom was stolen by the Nine-headed Insect, the consort of Wansheng Dragon King in Luanshi Mountain and Bibotan. After much effort, Sun Wukong successfully got rid of the Nine-headed Insect and recovered the national treasure with the help of Erlang Zhenjun and the Six Saints of Meishan.
The Nine-headed Insect was holding a crescent shovel. Its original form was a terrifying nine-headed monster. As the son-in-law of the Wansheng Dragon King of Bibotan, the Nine-headed Insect stole the Buddhist relics of the Jisai Kingdom by raining blood, which led to a fierce conflict with Sun Wukong and his fellow apprentices. He fought with Sun Wukong for thirty rounds without a clear winner, but later when facing the joint attack of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, he could not withstand three or five rounds. Finally, under the strong attack of Erlang Shen and Xiaotian Dog, the Nine-headed Insect had one of his heads bitten off by Xiaotian Dog. After being injured, he fled to the North Sea and has been missing since then.
The Nine-headed Insect is one of the five prehistoric insects, which are the six-winged golden silkworm, the blood-winged black mosquito, the multi-eyed golden centipede, the nine-tailed scorpion and the Nine-headed Insect. The Nine-headed Insect, also known as the Nine-headed Monster, is a subspecies of the dragon clan.
There are rumors that when the Nine-Headed Insect was fighting with Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen, one of its heads was bitten off by Roaring Sky Dog, and the creature fled to Japan and turned into an eight-headed monster, the Yamata-no-Orochi.
Yamata no Orochi is a terrifying giant snake in Japanese mythology. Its eyes are like red lantern fruits, but it has eight heads and eight tails on one body. Its body is covered with moss, cypress and fir, and its huge body can fill eight valleys and eight hills. Its stomach is always bloody, as if it is rotten. Originally, Yamata no Orochi was worshiped as a water god. It came from Takashi to Izumo and devoured a girl as a sacrifice every year. At this time, the god Susanoo was exiled here from Takama-ga-hara. He asked to marry the old couple's daughter, Kiinadahime, as a condition, and got Yamata no Orochi drunk with wine, then killed it, and found the Tianyeyun sword at its tail, which is the Kusanagi sword, one of the three sacred artifacts of Japan.
If Roth's speculation is correct, this Yamata no Orochi should be the Nine-headed Insect that fled to Japan after having one of its heads bitten off by the Sky-howling Dog. And the Kusanagi Sword, one of the three sacred artifacts of Japan found at the tail of the Yamata no Orochi, might be the silver arrow shot by Erlang Shen with his golden bow. Although this Nine-headed Insect is one of the five prehistoric insects, its cultivation is not that great, it just has more heads and stronger vitality. He is no match for Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun Yang Jian.
Erlang Shen's silver arrow contains the power of Daluo, which is extremely powerful. After he shot the Nine-headed Insect with an arrow, the Nine-headed Insect fled with injuries and his cultivation level dropped greatly. In this case, the Nine-headed Insect could not pull the silver arrow out of Erlang Shen's body at all, and could only let it stay in his body. It was also because of the serious injury that the Nine-headed Insect turned into the Yamata no Orochi after running to Japan, and would eat a girl as a sacrifice every year in an attempt to recover from his injuries. When he was killed by Susanoo, the Ame-no-Kurosakumo sword found by Susanoo was most likely Erlang Shen's silver arrow.
Because of its special material, the profound magic power of Erlang Shen, and the remnant of Erlang Shen's Daluo Jinxian power, the Ame-no-Kume sword is so powerful that it is regarded as a sacred weapon in Japan. The sword seems to be flowing with mysterious light, and every line tells the story of the thrilling battle. It lies quietly on the altar of Japan, exuding an awe-inspiring atmosphere, and has become a symbol of faith for a nation. However, people do not know the true origin of this sword, but only know that it has extremely powerful power.
The Wansheng Dragon King and his family in Bibotan are all greedy. His daughter Princess Wansheng was engaged to Little White Dragon, which should have been a beautiful marriage, but something unexpected happened on the wedding night. Princess Wansheng secretly met with the Nine-headed Insect on a night that should have been full of joy and blessings. The sneaky figure and the flickering eyes all showed her inner betrayal.
After being discovered by Xiao Bailong, Xiao Bailong was furious, and the anger in his heart burned like a raging fire. In a rage, he burned the Night Pearl given by the Jade Emperor. The Night Pearl was originally a precious treasure, representing the favor of the Jade Emperor, but at this moment it turned into ashes in Xiao Bailong's anger. Xiao Bailong was therefore demoted by the Jade Emperor to Yingchoujian.
Her father, the Wansheng Dragon King, and the Nine-headed Insect stole the national treasure of the Jisai Kingdom, the relic, which exudes a sacred light and is the national treasure of the Jisai Kingdom. The Wansheng Dragon King was blinded by greed and conspired with the Nine-headed Insect to steal the national treasure regardless of the consequences. Princess Wansheng took the opportunity to go to Daluo Heaven and steal the Nine-leaf Ganoderma Lucidum from the Queen Mother. The Nine-leaf Ganoderma Lucidum is a treasure of the immortal family and has magical effects. Princess Wansheng's audacity has plunged her into endless sins. This family is simply birds of a feather. Their greed and selfishness have brought disaster to countless people.
As Xuanzang and his disciples entered the Kingdom of Jisai, they soon sensed the uneasy atmosphere in the country. The people had sad faces, and the sadness was like a dark cloud hanging over their faces. People in the streets and alleys were talking about the disappearance of the national treasure, and their words were full of anxiety and worry. Sun Wukong opened his golden eyes, and the golden light seemed to be able to penetrate all the fog. He immediately saw the strangeness in it, and the evil atmosphere hidden in the dark made him feel a strong sense of justice.
He said to the crowd, "There must be evil spirits in the Jisai Kingdom. I, Sun, will definitely find the person who stole the national treasure." His voice was firm and powerful, full of determination. Zhu Bajie also waved his nine-toothed rake and said, "That's right, I, Zhu Bajie, will not let those hateful monsters go." Sha Seng silently grasped the magic staff to subdue the demons, ready to follow his brothers to fight at any time. Xuanzang put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, good, good. We must find the national treasure for the people of Jisai Kingdom and restore peace to this country."
