Wei Mian stood at the door of the ancestral hall and carefully observed the surrounding environment, but after looking for a long time, she did not find anything unusual.
It was a very ordinary place. She paused and followed a few villagers in.
The ancestral hall was very clean, and it was obvious that the villagers must have made regular offerings there. Wei Mian immediately noticed a pile of scales next to a pile of tablets.
Because no one knew what it was, they did not set up a tablet when worshipping it in the ancestral hall. Instead, they placed the scales directly on it and set up an incense table in front of the scales.
At this time, there were five scales stacked together, three of which were intact and only two were broken.
"Master, we picked up these scales in the village, and we also found and put together the broken ones after searching carefully around." The old man said cautiously from behind.
Ordinary people like the old man would not feel anything unusual, but Chu Zheng was from the Maoshan Sect, and his perception of Yin energy was much stronger than others.
The first time Chu Zheng saw the scales, he was shocked by the evil aura emanating from that thing.
If the python had become a spirit, it shouldn't have had any yin energy! And such a strong yin energy!
Wei Mian didn't say anything, but walked over and picked up the pile of scales.
Chu Zheng's face changed and he was about to rush forward to snatch it, but when he got closer he found that Wei Mian was fine.
He stared at Wei Mian intently, fearing that his negligence would cause something bad to happen to such an outstanding junior.
Wei Mian understood what he meant, looked up and smiled at him, then continued to look down at the scales in his hand.
"This isn't from a python!"
Pythons are covered with hard scales, which are normally smooth and compact, tightly wrapping around their bodies.
The scales on the waist and tail of a python are usually wider, diamond-shaped or triangular, and these scales usually have obvious patterns and color changes.
When Wei Mian was following his master in his previous life, he had seen a python that had become a spirit. At that time, the python had been practicing for thousands of years, but even so, its scales were not as good as the ones in front of him.
She looked at the scales in her hand. They were a translucent black color with a gradient, the top being slightly lighter and the tail being much darker.
Although the scales were also diamond-shaped, they had obvious hard protrusions on them, and she could feel the sharpness by touching them with her hands.
These aren't scales like a snake, but rather they resemble—
Wei Mian frowned and examined the scales in her hand one by one. Soon her attention was attracted by the one at the bottom.
According to what the old man just said, this piece was the first one placed on the altar, and it was also the first piece of scale they picked up. It was picked up near the minced meat of Old Man Wang.
Wei Mian looked at this scale carefully. It was indeed slightly different from the ones above. For example, the color was lighter than those, especially the black at the tail of the scale. The black was not pure at this time, but a bit transparent.
But this scale has the most concentrated Yin energy among all the scales. The old man just said that this scale fell off that thing a year ago, but it still has such a surging Yin energy.
It can be seen that these scales fell off from some powerful evil creature.
Chu Zheng could naturally think of what Wei Mian could think of, so his expression was unusually solemn at this moment.
Chu Zheng took the scale and after examining it for a while, he came to the same conclusion as Wei Mian, "This is not a python scale!"
He had a guess in his mind, but he decided not to say it out loud without concrete evidence.
Moreover, the kind of thing he thought of always appeared with a flood, and he always felt that it should not appear on such a small island.
After thinking about it, Chu Zheng forced out a trace of pure spiritual energy from his body and slowly seeped it into the scales along the lines on them.
Almost at the moment when the spiritual energy entered the scales, the surrounding yin energy became stronger, and the thick evil energy continued to spread from the scales. The small ancestral hall was completely swallowed up in the blink of an eye.
An illusion appeared in everyone's mind at the same time.
A black dragon swam nimbly among the mountains and rivers, splashing water wherever it passed.
The black dragon was surging and tumbling in the water. It was extremely fast and swam thousands of meters along the river in the blink of an eye. When it finally reached an empty river surface, a huge lightning bolt suddenly fell from the sky and struck it on the head.
The black dragon howled miserably, and its body, which had originally soared into the air, fell into the water in an instant, but it just rolled a few times and rushed up again.
At this time, the second lightning also struck down, and the black dragon had no way to avoid it and could only face it.
After being struck by lightning several times like this, most of the scales on the black dragon's body had fallen off, its skin was torn and its flesh was exposed, and it was dying.
It looked at the lightning that was condensing in the sky, and a deep sense of unwillingness welled up in its eyes.
However, the black dragon's unwillingness only lasted for a moment, and soon it regrouped and rushed towards the lightning.
I don’t know if it was the dragon’s unwillingness that supported it, or if God finally showed a little mercy, but this black dragon finally successfully survived the thunder tribulation.
The huge dragon body fell from mid-air into the river, splashing huge water, and a loud cry resounded through the sky.
Its huge body churned in the river, causing countless surging waves, which even showed a tendency to spread to the fields.
Wei Mian and his companions knew that the scene before them was an illusion, but they still couldn't help being shocked by the destructive power of the thunder, as if they were actually watching a rare event of a dragon transforming into a dragon.
Several of them had heard of such things from the teachings of their masters from generation to generation, and they just treated them as stories. However, they did not expect to see it with their own eyes in a vision today.
Perhaps this illusion was created by the dragon. They could empathize with the black dragon's unwillingness to be unable to transform into a dragon after such torture, and they could also feel its excitement after overcoming the tribulation.
Just now, when the black dragon was struck by lightning, countless scales fell off, exactly the same as those enshrined in the ancestral hall.
Then the illusion changed, and a huge black body suddenly rushed out of the water and wrapped around an old man with wrinkles on his face, tightening more and more like a huge python.
The old man wanted to run, but was caught tightly by the black dragon's claws and could only scream in fear and pain.
The black dragon did not strangle the man to death directly after wrapping around him. Instead, it seemed to be torturing him intentionally. It first crushed his limbs, then moved up along the torso little by little, leaving only the head.
I don’t know what method the black dragon used, but the old man died at the last moment, and the fear in his eyes was almost bursting out.
Then the black dragon did the same thing, using its huge body to wrap around and crush another person.
Seeing these people here, their faces all looked very ugly. Thinking of what the old man said before, I am afraid that these two people are Old Man Wang and Old Man Cui.
But Wei Mian's attention at this time was not on the two old men, but on the black dragon.
