Chapter 426: Raising Gu and Poison
Until the guards of the Sutra Pavilion were angered, an old antique-level tribulation-crossing monster who was not in the records personally took action, arrested the current headmaster and brought him into the pavilion, and severely taught him a lesson.
Later, there was a rule in the inner sect that the two families of calculation and Taoism were not allowed to start a game or fight each other. If they were found, they would be severely punished.
Because of all these, the calculation and cultivation lineage was considered to be in decline, and it fell into the infant god severance several times, and the Shi family and the Qin family no longer had any contact.
This is the basic information that Wang Zijia learned.
"As you know, our two families are not allowed to fight, but the Dao struggle has been preserved, but it is carried out within the clan."
"It is different from ordinary families, such as the Gu family of Senior Brother Yuebai, where everyone relies on talent, grades, and perhaps some relationships, and other comprehensive factors to ultimately decide who is the first person in this generation and who will be the divine Dao child."
"Every three hundred years or so, our Shi family will start a Dao struggle. The new and old three generations of disciples will go out together, with the whole clan as the chessboard and each branch clan as the basic plate. The whole clan will be placed to fight for the Dao, and in the end, Compete to become the contemporary divine seed Daozi."
"Use the whole clan to support him!"
"This fight started with Dao and ended with Dao. It is absolutely not allowed to extend to personal grudges. Of course, there are conflicts when there are fights, which is inevitable. But at most, it will stop at mutual dislike and playing tricks on each other."
"It will never develop to the situation that you think you need to avoid disaster!"
"The reason why you misunderstood is because of the death of Uncle Shi!"
Shi Wanquan was silent for a moment, and then said: "In fact, Uncle Shi's ending cannot be blamed on others. Fifty years ago, this generation The result of the dispute is actually clear. "
"But Uncle Shi got a piece of the Infant God's spiritual object by chance, so he has been unwilling to admit defeat."
"That's why Uncle Jiu forced him to live in a third-grade cave, with almost no resources to mobilize. "
"Uncle Jiu's original intention was to force Uncle Shi to bow his head, and then he could mobilize the resources of the clan, plus the assets that the two ancestors have worked hard to save over the years, plus Uncle Shi's own gains, it would barely be enough for the two of them to break through. "
"But Uncle Shi is just like Uncle Jiu, too arrogant and too stubborn, both wanting to be the first person !”
“The two ancestors did not dare to intervene, fearing that they would force Uncle Shi to bow his head, but he would not accept it and feel resentful, which would sow the seeds of disaster. It would be bad if both of them became infant gods.”
“After that, Uncle Shi gave it a try, and you saw the result. He failed to break through, and it was difficult to recover from the damage.”
“Even so, if he was willing to admit defeat, he could spend his last days in peace. But he was too stubborn.”
“And the core rule of our Shi family’s Dao struggle is that there must be a winner in each generation, and there must be a first person. Because we are not only fighting for the Dao, but also for the master!”
Shi Wanquan’s face was full of deepness when he said this.
“Fighting for the master?” Wang Zijia asked doubtfully.
Shi Wanquan nodded and said, "Yes, it is the master who is fighting for the master of the family. There are a lot of fortune-tellers in the family, and there are many people who are seeking the truth. They are all very smart, and there are also some who are self-important and have lofty ambitions. They think they can calculate the hearts of the people in the world."
"This is a good thing, but once something big happens, there will be too many people with their own ideas."
"If you don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, each generation must have someone who everyone is convinced of and can finally decide the course. It doesn't have to be the final word, but it must be able to override the opinions of the crowd!"
"If not, if the tenth uncle and the ninth uncle both become infant gods, and the two ancestors pass away one after another a hundred years later, wouldn't it be another change of splitting the family?"
As he spoke, Wang Zijia had a clear understanding of the general situation of the Shi family and what kind of family it was.
"Uncle Jiu's achievement of the Infant God is indeed the reason why I immediately sent Xiaofei out, but it was not to avoid disaster, but because I didn't want him to get involved in the next generation's struggle for the Tao."
"Uncle Jiu's achievement of the Infant God means that the previous generation's struggle for the Tao has come to an end. The next two or three hundred years are destined to be the three generations of our Wanzi generation, Xiaofei's Renzi generation, and the Ruizi generation below us to fight for the Tao."
"And our Wanzi generation is probably too suppressed by Uncle Jiu and Uncle Shi, and we have no future."
"The clan is optimistic about the Renzi generation, and Xiaofei and the disciples that Uncle Jiu accepted in the past few years are the most concerned targets."
"But you also know that Uncle Shi doesn't want Xiaofei to get involved. This is his last wish. So I thought of sending people out and not participating in the clan's struggle for the Tao."
Wang Zijia was suddenly enlightened after listening to it, and he completely understood the cause and effect.
Gu Yuebai, who was standing by, also spoke up at this moment: "In fact, sometimes I am quite disgusted with the rules of their Shi family. It is too inhumane that a family must decide who wins and who loses."
"But it took them less than three thousand years from the time when the Infant God was cut off and the clan was almost extinct to the present day when the three great gods live together. They are in a great position to return to the top."
"We have to admit that the outstanding people of each generation who have fought so hard are indeed more likely to become Infant Gods than the Gods that are determined by our families in this way."
Shi Wanquan looked at Wang Zijia with a wry smile and said: "Junior Brother Wang, now you understand why I said that things are not what you think!"
Wang Zijia nodded, looked at the girl behind Gu Yuebai, and then looked at the boy next to Shi Wanquan.
After a moment of silence, he looked at the boy Shi Renfei and said: "Do you want to participate in the Dao dispute in the clan?"
After all, winning is the full support of an Infant God family!
Shi Renfei was silent for a while after hearing this, and then he said, "I promised Grandpa that I would not start a game or fight with others before I succeed in calculating the Dao!"
have to!
That is to say, even after you have succeeded, you still have to end up!
Hearing this, Wang Zijia pondered for a moment and said, "Let's do this. Let these two kids become my disciples first."
"I usually fulfill my duties as a teacher and teach them."
"But I'm afraid of trouble, especially when you're involved in a bunch of things like repair, it will be really troublesome."
"So when this kid wants to leave, he can leave at any time, but in Bai Peach Peak, just practice peacefully and don't get involved with anything else!"
Having said this, Wang Zijia looked at Shi Wanquan and Gu Yuebai and said, "What do the two senior brothers think of this arrangement?"
"I don't have any objections. I just sent Xue Qing to listen to you, junior brother!" Gu Yuebai said calmly.
"Thank you so much, junior brother!" Shi Wanquan saluted Wang Zijia and replied.
"That's it, let's let it be settled!"
Wang Zijia smiled and said, in fact, he could refuse.
But it was a matter of favor, and the Gu family treated him well, so putting off such a trivial matter was really...
"Why don't you meet the master soon!" Shi Wanquan said to Shi Renfei.
"Renfei pays homage to Master, please give me your title!" Shi Renfei made a nine-kowtow ceremony to Wang Zijia. An Xingsheng's eyes trembled and he immediately gave him a cup of spiritual tea.
Shi Renfei took the spirit tea and served it to Wang Zijia.
Wang Zijia brought the tea, but did not give him a Taoist title. Instead, he said: "We will wait until you make a final decision about whether to stay in the mountain or return to the clan."
"Respect the master and the decree!" Shi Renfei bowed again.
Seeing this, Shi Wanquan breathed a sigh of relief, took out a jade box, handed it to Wang Zijia and said, "This is the baby's apprenticeship ceremony."
Wang Zijia did not delay and put it away directly.
Gu Xueqing on the side also became a disciple, but Wang Zijia still did not give him a title.
"When you remove the two characters from your name, I will give you a Taoist number."
"Disciple must work hard!" Gu Xueqing replied with some cold words.
An Xingsheng and Xu Xian, both inside and outside the pavilion, looked at this scene with envy.
After the two of them completed their apprenticeship, Wang Zijia and Gu Yuebai chatted for a while. It was not until the evening, when the sunset filled the sky, that they stood up to say goodbye.
After instructing An Xingsheng to arrange accommodation and work for the two children left behind, Wang Zijia also left the pavilion.
·········
Standing on the top of the peak, looking at the jade talisman veins at the bottom of the mountain, they are shining brightly under the golden glow.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Feifei came back, looked at Wang Zijia's expression, hugged him from behind, put her head on his back, and asked softly: "Are you worried?"
"I'm thinking, if our vein really wants to develop and become a major outer sect vein, what should we do?" Wang Zijia looked down the mountain at the jade talisman vein lingering in the golden light of the sunset.
"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Xiang Feifei asked puzzledly: "Is there anything in Pulse that I haven't done well?"
Wang Zijia shook his head and said: "No, today I learned about the Shi family's 'Gu Raising' to select the Gu King, and suddenly found that our pulse seems to be missing a catfish."
"If this continues, I am destined to become a bunch of useless fish. I can only run errands and deal with some chores."
While Wang Zijia was speaking, he stretched out his hand to touch his lower abdomen and towards Feifei's arm.
"Catfish?" Xiang Feifei raised her head that was attached to Wang Zijia's back, got out from under Wang Zijia's arm, turned her head in a strange posture, and looked at Wang Zijia, puzzled.
"It's okay, it's just random thoughts!" Wang Zijia lowered his head and smiled, looking at the jade talisman veins below again.
Seeing this, Xiang Feifei stopped asking any more questions. Wang Zijia reached out and held her in front of her, hugging her in his arms.
Under the setting sun, colorful sunset clouds filled the sky.
The people on the top of the mountain stand quietly in the golden glow.
The mountains are full of swaying peach blossoms, with a faint floral fragrance floating around, just like a picture scroll like a poem.
·········
The two stood on the top of the mountain for a long time before returning to the yard and chatting for a while.
After dinner, Wang Zijia did not go back to the practice room immediately, but came to Bai Qian's alchemy room.
Looking at Bai Qian who was working overtime again, he said: "Don't be so anxious, just two furnaces a day, don't open the third furnace!"
"I understand, young master. I have already refined the elixir for ten days, and I am studying other things." Bai Qian had finished refining it, and said while making a seal to collect the elixir.
Wang Zijia nodded when he heard the words, and went to the wall next to him, ready to take the jade gourd containing the elixir, when Wang Zijia paused.
At this moment, in addition to the normal large jade gourds that usually hold the Confused God Pill, there are also several palm-sized small jade gourds hanging there.
Out of curiosity, Wang Zijia took one and looked at it.
"poison?"
At this time, Bai Qian had already arrived in front of Wang Zijia. Faced with Wang Zijia's doubts, she said sheepishly: "Sir, didn't you say before that you wanted to find something that is extremely toxic and latent, and the materials are widely available and can accumulate in large quantities in the body?" Is it a special mix of poisons?”
"These are the strange poisons I have obtained after searching for half a year in the circle of alchemists. Most of them meet the requirements you mentioned, sir, and they can be refined in large quantities."
Wang Zijia looked at the little gourd and raised his eyebrows slightly.
He turned his hand and swallowed the pill in his hand.
"Ah!" Bai Qian exclaimed and said in a panic: "Master, why did you eat this? I didn't buy the antidote for this!"
"It's okay!" Wang Zijia calmly comforted Bai Qian while sensing the body's reaction.
After a moment, after confirming that the poison was digested and lurking in the body, Wang Zijia looked at the newly appeared weight.
Chips: Spirit Poison
Level: Second grade
Status: Latent
Value: 670
Introduction: The special poison will lurk in the mana. As time goes on, it will slowly invade the Dao base until it penetrates deep into the runes. As the amount of toxins increases, the toxicity will continue to increase.
This pill has a special effect on people with special physiques or those who practice special poisonous techniques, and will increase the poisonous power of their techniques.
"Interesting poison!" Wang Zijia asked the paper man clone in the sea of consciousness, exchanged it, smacked his mouth twice, and said interestingly:
"How much did this poison cost?"
Bai Qian looked at Wang Zijia nervously, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with Wang Zijia, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Three hundred, if I refine it myself, I should be able to keep the cost down to two hundred and eighty after it is completed." About nine.”
Bai Qian was obviously talking about the cost price of elixirs exchanged between alchemists, not the selling price.
"As a real person, how many pills can you eat before reaching the latent limit and becoming poisonous?" Wang Zijia asked again.
"I asked the person selling it, about a thousand pills! This kind of spiritual poison is extremely latent, and the more toxins accumulated, the more poisonous and difficult it is to deal with, until the entire runic seed becomes a poisonous seed. It is said that gods are hard to save at that time," Bai Qian said carefully.
‘It’s interesting. It’s worth more than 600 degrees and 300 magic money. It’s about two to one. If it is piled up in large quantities, it might be able to surpass the Confused God Pill. ’
In his thoughts, Wang Zijia looked at the other dozen or so small gourds and asked, "Do the others have this kind of strange effect?"
"Well, half of it is suitable for mixing poisons, and the remaining half is suitable for a large number of latent toxins like this spiritual poison." As Bai Qian spoke, he took down a pink jade gourd from the wall and said:
"Among them, this one should be the one that can accumulate the most toxins in the body. It is the least likely to be poisonous and the easiest to trigger. It has a strange effect and is stronger than spiritual poison!"
"Theoretically, it is possible to accumulate toxins infinitely without worrying about death from the poison. Of course, this is only theoretical. No one has tested the upper limit anyway."
Wang Zijia took the gourd and poured one out again. Without asking about the effect, she ate it like a jelly bean under Bai Qian's hesitant expression.
