Chapter 16 The cause of immortality
Three months later.
On the top of Dashi Mountain, there is a small palace.
A high wall surrounds the palace, and soldiers guard the road below the mountain.
Backyard.
Xu Xuan draws his bow and shoots an arrow. Opposite him is a scarecrow with a yellow talisman pasted on his body.
Whoosh!
An arrow is shot out, and the talisman paper flashes.
When the arrow is three inches away from the scarecrow's vitals, it hits something and is bounced away.
The second arrow!
The third arrow!
After the third arrow, the talisman paper turns to ashes.
"Avoiding soldiers, one talisman can block three arrows."
Xu Xuan calculated the limit.
Whether it is three arrows in a row or three arrows at the same time, it can only block three.
But it doesn't matter, just stick more.
Then he stuck a new one.
Throwing away the bow and arrow, the sword finger slashed in the air, and red lines appeared in the void.
After three breaths.
Wow!
A fireball was generated and flew towards the scarecrow.
After three months of diligent practice, Xu Xuan finally mastered the fire-calling talisman and reached the level of volleying and drawing in the air.
This means that even if the talisman paper is used up, he can generate a spell immediately.
If it is perfect, the speed is estimated to be faster.
Boom!
The fireball blew up the scarecrow.
"It is useless against more powerful spells. It should not be able to stop large-caliber bird guns and cannons."
This is the end of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, there are firearms, but ordinary troops do not equip them, and it is more time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the power should not be underestimated.
Of course, it can block bows and crossbows. Large-caliber bird guns and cannons are so big that he can sense them.
"The avoidance talisman method is perfect or even perfect, and it should be able to stop cannons."
Xu Xuan returned to another side hall. There was a coffin in the hall. The skylight was closed and opened at night to let the corpse absorb the essence of Taiyin.
Xu Xuan opened the lid and a foul smell came to his face.
The corpse inside had already rotted, and the yellow paper on the forehead was useless.
"It's useless again."
Xu Xuan endured the stench and took out the spirit stone from the corpse.
"Do we really have to use living people to refine corpses?"
This move is too harmful to the harmony of nature, and if the other party does not cooperate, such as tearing off the talisman paper, or not absorbing spiritual energy according to the formula, it will not be able to be refined.
The Li family has done experiments on this. The reason for the failure of the corpse is insufficient Yin Qi. Since it is insufficient, it can be absorbed artificially.
This move is harmful to nature, so try other things.
Xu Xuan closed the coffin lid and came to the halfway point of the mountain. There were several people practicing martial arts halfway up the mountain.
They were red all over, as if they were tireless, pulling bowstrings or lifting stone locks.
Wu Xiong, Ghost Quail, Xu Yong, Yuan Kong and more than a dozen of their confidants were here.
After they finished refining, they found Xu Xuan.
"Master!"
"Brother!" Xu Yong was sweating profusely. He walked in front of Xu Xuan and smiled, "Brother, this Xiaoqinglong Powder is really useful. It seems to have endless strength."
Xiaoqinglong Powder is a low-profile version of Daqinglong Powder. It was developed by Xu Xuan. It removes heavy metals and has the effect of increasing qi and blood.
"It's good that it's useful. When your Qi and blood reach a certain level, I will teach you the practice method." Of course, it is impossible to reward spiritual stones. As for not being able to practice? Think more about your own reasons! "The amount of talisman paper and medicinal materials must be sufficient. Too little." Xu Xuan said to everyone again. The talisman paper must be of high quality. The medicinal materials can assist in one's practice and can also be used to drive corpses. These require a large amount. After all, my success rate is not high. For example, Daqinglong Powder, it is good to get one out of ten. "Chenxi is too poor, and I am also trying to find a way." "Have the winery, glass shop, and refined salt shop opened?" Xu Xuan asked. "It's open. I have to say that my brother's method is really useful. We are paving the way and preparing to sell it to Yiyang, Hengyang, Changsha and other places." "Well, with this industry, Chenxi can also develop. The more refugees we recruit, the better. They can be craftsmen in peacetime and soldiers in wartime." "Find me another corpse." "Yes!" ... At the foot of the mountain, Xu Mansion. Li Hu woke up in the morning, his old body wrapped in thick bandages. Xu Xuan didn't expect Li Hu to survive.
He was in a coma for three months and woke up slowly in the morning.
Li Hu leaned against the wall, and the servant of Lizhuang was telling him what happened during the coma.
What Xu Guangting did surprised him, and Xu Xuan lived up to his expectations.
The next step should be to fight for the family property.
"The eldest son is in a Taoist temple on the mountain. I heard rumors that he seemed to be a Taoist priest and learned the way of immortals."
Li Hu laughed dumbly, thinking that this kid was quite persistent.
Maybe I should persuade him not to waste his best years on this.
Xu Feng was aggressive. Once he was allowed to take the position, the two brothers Xu Xuan would not end well.
"Have you found out who killed Si Ru?" Li Hu's eyes were filled with deep hatred.
Yang Si Ru was his nephew, the only descendant of the Yang family. Li Hu's surname was Yang, but he was actually a Han Chinese. He fled into the mountains when he was young.
"The one who attacked you was Li Duo, one of the generals of Chenzhou. The one who killed Master Si Ru was Xu Feng. He coveted your property. Now Li Zhuang has fallen into his hands. Li Duo was also ordered by him."
"So it was him..." Li Hu's teeth were almost broken by biting. It was a pity that he had become a useless man and had no hope of revenge in this life.
Dong Dong Dong!
At this time, someone knocked on the door. The servant saw that it was Xu Xuan.
"Greetings, Master!"
"You go out first. I have something to talk to Master."
Xu Xuan asked the servant to leave.
"Master, is everything okay?" Xu Xuan was still holding a few herbs in his hand.
Li Hu coughed a few times and said, "I'm going to die anyway, so how about that?"
"Haha, you are getting stronger and stronger, why do you say such things?"
Xu Xuan put down the prescription and sat on the chair.
Li Hu thought for a moment and suddenly spoke:
"You have to fight. If you just tolerate it, it will only make things worse."
"What?"
"Xu Feng is not a good person." Li Hu told his story, "I am the only one closest to you in this life. I really don't want to see you go astray. You shouldn't stay away from Chenzhou. Since you have Ghost Partridge and Xu Yong We should go back to Chenzhou to fight for these two helpers.”
"There are great benefits to practicing Taoism!"
"Confused..." Li Hu became emotional and coughed violently.
"Slow down, slow down." Xu Xuan stepped forward and patted Li Hu on the back.
"From ancient times to the present, between Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty, which one has been successful? Do you think you are more powerful than Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty? Don't be arrogant. It doesn't matter whether you practice Taoism or martial arts. In the end, you will never achieve great things."
"I don't know if I'm great or not, but I must be luckier than them."
"What kind of magic is not magic? I have experienced it too..."
Li Hu was about to scold him, but when he raised his head, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw Xu Xuan painting in the air, drawing red lines with his sword finger, forming a spell, and a fireball floating in the palm of his hand.
The whole room was red, Xu Xuan's complexion flickered, mysterious and mysterious.
The hot temperature let Li Hu know that this was not a trick.
Until the fireball was cancelled, Li Hu was still in a daze and could not speak for a long time.
Xu Xuan's reaction was not what Xu Xuan had expected. Until now, he had never killed anyone with magic. Whenever he flashed the fireball, the opponent would immediately fall to his knees.
It lit up three times, and it was convincing three times.
"It seems that I overestimated the psychological endurance of people in a world without demons." Xu Xuan thought to himself.
Think about it, let alone ancient people, modern people will be scared to death when they see it.
Unless it's a place like the Mirror Realm where immortal cultivators are often seen.
He planned to recruit Li Hu to join the group. Li Hu had connections and could open up business routes and provide logistical support for his great cause of monasticism.
"Is this a fire-calling talisman?" Li Hu came back to his senses and murmured.
"Exactly." Xu Xuan replied.
Li Hu suddenly laughed loudly, his chest rising and falling like a broken drum.
"Haha, Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Emperor Tang and Song Ancestor, you have accomplished their unfinished goals. You are indeed a god who has not been born for thousands of years! I am just vulgar. What does hegemony in the mortal world mean?"
Cultivation is about escaping from the world, but it would be different if what you practice is true.
What does Chenzhou mean?
"Master said, I don't just practice cultivation in isolation." Xu Xuan's eyes were bright, "Isn't it a waste of great talent to hide in the mountains when you have no ability, and dare to watch the decline of China."
"As long as the magical power is completed, it will be the day to come out of the mountain."
