The next morning, because he was thinking about where to get the real fire from the Immortal Family last night, Wuwang Laodao, who had been late falling asleep, got up much later than usual. Even so, he opened the door and murmured to himself : "I wonder if it is possible to collect the fire caused by the thunder striking the trees? This should not be an ordinary fire."
The old Taoist Wuwu didn't know that if the same tree was hit by sky lightning many times and the flame never went out, then the flame at its core would be called the sky thunder dazzling fire. Unfortunately, it cannot be produced in the Land of the End of Dharma.
As soon as he opened the door and walked to the courtyard of Guanzhong, Old Taoist Wuwang was startled. The wooden basin he was holding fell to the ground with a thud, because there were several men in black lying in various postures beside the wall. Among them, The two men died in a miserable state, their skin was rotten to the bone, and there were countless small holes half a finger deep on the courtyard floor, which were so densely packed that they seemed to have lost their appearance.
"Bandits? Assassins?" Wuwu Lao Dao has been concentrating on refining alchemy over the years without any distractions. His temperament is relatively ordinary and he has been well tempered. Therefore, he quickly calmed down and speculated on their origins. "Could they be here to deal with those two people?" Fellow Taoist? After all, they just came to stay last night when a man in black came to their door."
But in the blink of an eye, a lot of doubts arose in him: "The old Taoist didn't sleep well last night, but he didn't feel any fighting at all. The martial arts of the two Taoists are probably unpredictable. In this case, why did they Instead of restraining the body, you just put it here with a big thorn in it, so that the old man can see it, and it will only cause future troubles? "
A thought flashed through his mind, and the old Taoist Wuwu stepped forward: "Are they here to deal with the old Taoist? The two Taoist friends met at the right time, and helped the old Taoist prevent the disaster, and left the body to warn the old Taoist."
But he was just a self-possessed, self-possessed master of Taoist Temple who concentrated on refining elixirs. He really couldn't imagine who would harm him. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to ask questions face to face.
Knocking on the door, no one responded. After knocking several times, Wuwang Lao Dao found that the door was not closed, so he gently pushed it open and found that there was no one inside. There was a stack of white paper on the old square table.
"They left?" As soon as he thought about it, Wuwu Lao Dao heard some movement in the alchemy room. He was frightened and turned around and ran over. That was his lifeblood.
Pushing open the door of the alchemy room, he saw that the young man named Shi Xuan was operating the alchemy furnace, stepping on Yubu, controlling the fire with his right hand, and grabbing the herbs and minerals next to him from time to time with his left hand. The rhythm, the size of the flames, and whether they are thrown fast or slowly bring out a strange beauty.
Wuwu Lao Dao was dumbfounded when he saw it. This feeling was completely natural, like an antelope hanging its horns, with no trace to be found. Compared with his usual alchemy, he would be in a hurry, or put things in together, and just look at the size of the flames. It was really They are really different: "Fellow Taoist Shi is the master of alchemy?!"
Mo Jingqiu looked on with a smile and found it quite new. She had worshiped in Sanxiao Palace since she was a child and was exercising. I never had to worry about medicinal soups and elixirs. When I later learned to make healing elixirs, it was already the stage of entrainment. I relied on magic power and restraint control to make elixirs like this, which relied entirely on myself to control the order of flames and elixirs. This method had never been done before. Experience: "If you don't have super control over yourself, you will destroy a hundred furnaces if you refine them one hundred times."
As the last bit of mineral powder fell in, a strange fragrance came out of the alchemy furnace. Just smelling it made people feel refreshed and extraordinary.
Master Wuwu immediately became excited: "Elixir! Fellow Taoist Shi is refining the elixir!" He has been refining the elixir for so many years. When the elixir was completed, there were smells, fragrances, smoky smells, and explosions, but this was nothing like this. The mundane smell never appeared. He rubbed his hands excitedly, but he was afraid of disturbing Shi Xuan and ruining a pot of elixir.
This situation is like a dream.
Bang, bang, bang, nine soft sounds in a row, Shi Xuan stopped, opened the alchemy furnace, and the fragrance came to his nostrils. Nine pills of dripping elixir rolled into his palm one by one. The color was vermilion, the luster was flowing, and there was even a thread. The silky red mist rises, unlike what can be seen in the human world.
Old Taoist Wuwang ran over in surprise: "Fellow Taoist Shi, have you mastered the elixir?"
Shi Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not an elixir. It is harmful to people but not beneficial. It makes people drunk and dream to death." Without real fire and no magic power, how could Shi Xuan make a real elixir? This elixir has other mysteries. Involving law.
"But..." Old Taoist Wuwu couldn't believe that this kind of elixir was not an elixir, but he was a self-possessed person and couldn't explain it clearly.
Shi Xuan laughed loudly: "Of all the things in the world, the ones that sell the best are extremely poisonous. Although this elixir is called Shengxian Dan, it is toying with people's hearts and making people addicted to desire. It runs counter to the Dao. Fellow Taoist Don't be fooled by its appearance. By the way, I thanked my fellow Taoist for the elixir furnace, herbal medicine, etc., and left some things in the wing as a reward. I have important things to do and can't stay long, so I left."
After finishing speaking, Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu left the alchemy room in a flash, regardless of Wuwang Lao Dao's advice to stay, picked up the horses in the corner of the courtyard, and left leisurely.
Seeing that he couldn't keep it, Old Taoist Wuwang hurriedly turned around and looked at the alchemy furnace, wanting to see if there were any residues and find some wild animals to try. However, the inside of the alchemy furnace was clean and there was no residue at all. Obviously, the herbs just now were , there is not a trace of excess mineral medicine, it can be turned into elixir or breath, just right.
"It's simply a miraculous skill! No, it's not a skill at all, it's almost a Tao." This kind of weird result has only been seen by Wuwu Lao Taoist in his life. Even the arrogant Taoist friends he knows, after refining the elixir, or More or less, there will also be residue or residue, which cannot be solved by human power.
After being stunned for a moment, Wuwu Lao Dao remembered the things Shi Xuan left in the wing, and quickly turned around and ran over. The things left by such a person must be extraordinary.
Everything in the wing was as usual, except for the stack of white paper that he saw just now, which was placed on the square table and held down with a paperweight. The old man Wuwang curiously took the paperweight away and saw the three words "Gui Zhen Jing" written on the first piece of paper. The handwriting is ethereal and meaningful.
Wuwu Lao Dao was stunned for a moment: "Could it be a martial arts secret book that allows me to protect myself when facing the men in black in the future?"
With this thought in his mind, his hands were not slow and he turned over the first page in a blink of an eye and started reading.
It didn't matter, Wuwu Lao Tao immediately forgot about the things in the world. He didn't wash his face, rinse his mouth, or eat. He held such a stack of white paper and looked at it in a daze, murmuring from time to time. Self-talk:
"Is there such a thing in the world?"
"It turns out that the path to Taoism is divided into so many realms. Only when you reach the Yuanshen can you live forever."
"Every word is so precious that it's hard to describe."
It was not until noon that his stomach rumbled with hunger, and Old Taoist Wuwu came back to his senses: "This immortal law record has clear realms, and each realm has a method of cultivation and breakthrough. It doesn't look like a fake. Those two... "
He jumped up suddenly, rushed out of the room with the Guizhen Sutra, and looked at the densely packed small holes in the yard. He saw that there were several empty places surrounded by them. They were the same as before, not like gaps, but like It's the small holes that deliberately avoid them.
"Gods, gods!" Old Taoist Wuwu beamed with joy and danced with the Guizhen Sutra, which shocked Jiang Liu who had sneaked over: "Grandpa Guanzhu, what's wrong with you?" Could it be that you are really crazy?
The old Taoist Wuwu laughed heartily: "God is impressed by my sincerity towards the Tao, and finally gave the old Taoist a chance to be immortal!"
I rushed out of the gate and looked into the distance, but the trees were hidden and it was quiet. I couldn't see Shi Xuan or Mo Jingqiu.
…………
On the road, walking side by side, Mo Jingqiu glanced at Shi Xuan and chuckled: "With just some medicine, you have left behind a true skill, which is really generous."
"Shi also thinks that the old Taoist Wuwang has a good intention to follow the Tao, so as to prevent him from going astray, we moral people will naturally do something moral." Shi Xuan replied with a smile, "And after this time, No matter what, Hunyuan Jindou will be taken away, and this Dharma-Ending Land will no longer be a Dharma-Ending Land."
Mo Jingqiu nodded and suddenly remembered something: "Can the skills you left behind be used to cultivate the soul? In these incomplete worlds, although there are no previous two catastrophes, it is still possible to achieve the soul. ”
"Only to the golden elixir. The latter two realms are also explained, but it is impossible to rely on them to achieve the soul. Jingqiu, why do you ask about this?" The method of the soul in Shi Xuan's hand is either the true method of the sect. , or it is a heretic, and it is inconvenient to spread it outside.
Mo Jingqiu smiled and said: "If the first Yuan Shen who has been cultivated is born in Yuji Cauldron, then there may be one more Taoist ancestor who knows about this place."
"What's the explanation for this?" Shi Xuan knew that compared to this kind of sect with Taoist ancestors, he was always far behind in knowledge of secrets. After all, Grandma Yu liked to let himself discover and dig out.
Mo Jingqiu pointed to the ground: "In the void universe, everything is derived from the three thousand avenues. In this case, Shi Xuan, which avenue do you think the Mysterious Gate of Life and Death is the embodiment of?"
"The Avenue of Life and Death." Shi Xuan suddenly realized that it would be an injustice if he took the initiative to let the Taoist of Life and Death discover this place. And no wonder life and death are acquired, and life and death combined are innate, because the latter also represents the transcendence. The Tao is completely different.
Mo Jingqiu nodded: "It is said that the ancient and mysterious door when you step through the gateway of life and death is partly the result of your own mind, and partly the pattern on the surface of the Book of Life and Death."
…………
Zhen Xuzi rinsed his mouth with the tea offered by his disciples and spit it out into the copper basin next to him. Then his concubine wiped his face with a warm handkerchief...
When he woke up in the morning, his life was extremely comfortable. As a real person who was recently favored and trusted more than the national preceptor, Zhen Xuzi had the qualification to enjoy it.
He closed his eyes and sighed. He didn't expect that he was nearly seventy years old and half of his body was buried in the ground. He could still turn around. But if he hadn't lived so long, why would the emperor believe that his elixir could prolong his life?
"Master, there are two Taoist priests outside the door offering a pill of elixir." The eldest disciple Gu Hongyu walked in from outside the hall, holding a jade box in his palm. It was smooth and gentle, and it was very valuable at first glance.
Zhen Xuzi waved his hand and said with some dissatisfaction: "These wandering Taoist priests are cheating and cheating. They have been coming to them since I was made a real person by the emperor. However, the elixirs presented are not only ineffective, but also quite harmful."
Gu Hongyu had a strange expression, as if he was distracted, but also seemed to have a happy face: "Master, this elixir is a real elixir. Just now, when I gave it to the drug-testing dog to taste, I saw that it not only did not fall dead, but acted strangely, so I took the courage to taste it. Taste, the real elixir, the real elixir." I turned around, but I couldn't tell where the elixir was.
Zhen Xuzi glanced at the guard who followed him and saw him nodding, indicating that Gu Hongyu had indeed tasted it. He couldn't help but be curious in his heart. This eldest disciple followed him all over the country. He had never seen anything before, so why was he so fascinated.
So he opened the jade box and saw half a pill of vermilion elixir placed on a piece of black cloth. The mist was lingering and the brilliance was flowing. It was extraordinary at first glance.
Zhen Xuzi picked up the elixir and put it into his mouth curiously. It melted in his mouth.
Then Zhen Xuzi felt as if he was in a state of ecstasy. All worries, disappointments, fears, worries, and pressures disappeared, and there was only extreme comfort, as if he was flying in the sky, as if he was sitting in a position that he usually dare not imagine. , like countless fairies surrounding...
"I really felt like a god for a moment." Zhenxuzi sniffed and said absentmindedly.
