Chapter 40 Chapter Twenty-Seven

The alchemy process of Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain is mysterious and has its own rules, which are very particular. First of all, one must choose the alchemy place carefully, and it is better to choose a place with famous mountains and secluded places with strong aura.Usually you need to go with three people, and you must fast and take a bath before entering the mountain, so as to avoid the invasion of evil spirits and hinder the alchemy.When entering the mountain, you must choose an auspicious day for your departure, and you must wear a mountain entry talisman and a deer repelling mirror.When entering the mountains, first survey the terrain, choose a good site according to the geomantic omen, and build the alchemy house.

After building the alchemy room, it is only the first step. It is still necessary to open up the altar, bury the talisman seals, and build the stove and the cauldron. Consistent, pay attention to all kinds of taboos, the difference is a thousand miles away.Not careless at all.The "Nine Turns Resurrection Pill" that I practiced before is not the same, it is very troublesome, so Qing Xu and others said that it would take three days. This method is "Nine Tripods Alchemy", which is the alchemy method of the Longhu Mountain lineage. Cao Yanjun mentioned it to us before, so we know a thing or two.

The three of them entered the mountain to practice alchemy, carrying heavy loads on their backs, and they all left footprints when they walked.But all three of them have the way of celestial masters to make light of their bodies, which makes the footprints very hard to find.Mr. Tiger Cat just saw the direction they were going into the mountain from a distance before, and didn’t know the specific route, so along the way, it didn’t pay attention to the details, but pointed us to a general direction. Then fly in the sky. According to its own vision, it is ready to find the geomantic treasure land suitable for alchemy.

For alchemists to make alchemy, materials, recipes, heat, and experience are secondary. The most important thing is God's mind, whether to let you get it. So when it comes to Feng Shui, it is really mysterious. But all those who have some real skills will lead to the same goal by different routes.Qing Xu and the others are well-known teachers, so they naturally know where to make alchemy and seek medicine.Mr. Tiger Cat is far-sighted, so naturally he can also find the most suitable place for alchemy within a radius of tens of miles. Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao and I were tortured so much, we suffered numerous external wounds, but not many hidden wounds.The most serious thing is me, but I have the Golden Silkworm Gu for recuperation, and I also ate the "Dali King Kong Pill" given by the tiger cat, which can stimulate the potential of the human body, but the name is very vulgar, and the hot current stimulates the whole body , he was quite energetic, climbing mountains and ridges all the way, raising his head, and following the black shadow at the end of his sight.

Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao was also hit by the "Nine Corpse Gods and Insect Pills", and the fat worms got into his belly to nourish him. When we set off, we naturally collected some food. Except for the lunch that Lao Lu and the others hadn't eaten, most of them were Li Qing's snacks.They are all iron feet who are used to walking on mountain roads. This journey is not too difficult, but we still have to leave some signs not far away so that the unknown reinforcements contacted by Xiaojun can track them down. . Are you tired?Really tiring, some places in this mountain forest have roads, but some places have no roads.Valleys and hills, cliffs, ups and downs for more than tens of miles, the actual distance is even more difficult to count.There are masson pine forests all over the mountains, countless Castanopsis chinensis, camphor trees, white Nan and poplar trees.Climbing high and looking far away is naturally picturesque, with beautiful rivers and mountains, but walking in the forest, among the countless fallen leaves and weeds, every step is difficult.

This kind of hard work cannot be experienced by people who walk in the city of steel jungle all day long and only go to scenic spots with complete facilities when they travel occasionally. The indifferent sun above the head is drifting westward little by little until it falls into the western mountain and dyes the green mountain forest into a small piece of resplendent and golden color, then Zamao Xiaodao and I suddenly feel the time elapsed. We stood on a shallow hill, and in front of us was a shallow stream like a ditch. Looking down from the forest, there was a large clump of yellow-green moso bamboos beside the stream. On the cliffs, and on the cliffs dotted with caves, there are more than a dozen pale yellow coffin caves, silently proclaiming its existence for thousands of years.

As the sun set, the sky suddenly became gloomy, and the clouds were extremely low, as if they were just above our heads.The tiger cat landed on a thick southern yew, combed his tired feathers with his beak, and shook his body from time to time. Between the bamboo forest and the stream, I saw Qingxu and his party that we were looking for. They have already cleared the weeds on the ground, and sorted out a flat land with a length of three feet and a width of one foot and six feet. They also felled moso bamboo and built a bamboo altar, which was made with rigorous methods and piled with soil.In the very center of the altar, there is a half-sized bronze tripod, which is not heavy, but it has a heavy sense of history.I already knew that the Hanwang barefoot double-eared tripod brought by Xiaojun and the others was a fake, and it had been destroyed in the hot spring villa, but I didn't know that Qingxu had such ability in this short period of time, so he raised another one.

The three of Qingxu had obviously stayed here for a long time.However, everything starts from the beginning, so they have been busy, setting up formations, planting flags, painting symbols, and praying devoutly... We observed on the top of the mountain for a full hour, and the cold wind was blowing, and they didn't stop for a moment. Apparently, although Qing Xu and the others are three points more virtuous than that street hooligan, their professionalism is first-class. As the saying goes, hooligans are not to be feared, but cultured ones are to be feared. The destructive power of Qing Xu and others, who were trained by the famous Taoist school since childhood, is a hundred times stronger than that of Wang Mazi, who has no action power and no ideological guidance.As night fell, cold dew rose from the branches and leaves, and Zamao Xiaodao and I took the time to recuperate in the dense forest far away, trying to restore this broken body to its peak state.

There are many ways to save the little demon Duoduo, but we are waiting, waiting for the best opportunity to make a move. Lord Tiger Cat flew onto my shoulder, and discussed the next action plan with me and Miscellaneous Hair Xiaodao.It stands to reason that Qing Xu and the others will have to wait for a while to set up the mysterious copper furnace.At the time of the child, when the yin energy is at its peak, they will pray to the spirits of heaven, earth and mountains, open the furnace to add fire, and use the method of water and fire from the upper and lower ridges, "calcining, refining, roasting, melting, volting, condensing, and taking", in this way for seven days. Only one step can finally become a pill, and after offering sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth, the sun, the moon, and mountains and rivers, take the big medicine.

The "Yellow Bud Manna Golden Pill" refined by Qingxu is a small pill, if you have the little demon Duoduo as a medicine guide, the pill will be formed very quickly, within two days. We have to try to get close by lurking, and then try to get Lord Tiger Cat or Golden Silkworm Gu to get close, and get the artifact that seals the demon body.If we can rescue the little demon Duoduo, we don't have to confront Qingxu head-on. After all, our current strength is not enough to fight against Qingxu, Qingdong and Qingxuan. I gave the golden silkworm Gu a death order, even if it is suppressed by the magical power, let it try to bite Qing Xu to see if he can escape?The fat worm seemed very reluctant.The way of witchcraft lies in secrecy, which is impossible to guard against.Its gradual decline is actually related to the rise of Daomen. It is precisely because Daomen's formulas have a natural coercion on witchcraft, making Golden Silkworm Gu often helpless against Taoist masters.

No feather can be added, no fly can drop, this is the truth. However, just like the golden silkworm Gu was afraid of the dragon fern tainted with the breath of the dwarf mule at the beginning, and the fat worm that has grown into the crown golden silkworm Gu has despised the dwarf mule, if it can break through itself and achieve greater development, maybe There is nothing to be afraid of Taoism—for example, after shedding the second skin. Of course, this is very far away.Back to reality, we hide in the dark, recharge our batteries, and start preparing for the attack of the night. As night falls, candles are lit. The torch wrapped in oilcloth stood on the ground in the hexagram of the Eight Arrays, and the work of the three of Qingxu was still going on.We approached slowly, but these people, especially Qing Xu, had very powerful spiritual senses, and their foresight of danger was far more sensitive than we imagined. When we got closer to eighty steps, he turned his head several times and walked towards us. Look in the darkness here. Crouching in the grass in the forest, Zamao Xiaodao and I didn't dare to move, our hearts went cold from shock. Time passed minute by minute, and when it was past eleven o'clock in the evening, the stove was finally solidified.The three of Qingxu knelt down, and after praying to the sky, they took turns to go to the stream, strip naked, bathe in the cold stream water that made people shiver, and cleanse their bodies.After going through this process, the three of them started to fire the furnace and added a lot of materials to the copper tripod. I saw that there was always a Jinxiu hexagram pouch hanging on Qing Xu's waist, the size of two palms together, occasionally wriggling, as if he was stretching his body. Judging from my aura induction, there seems to be a strong suppression ability in the Jinxiu hexagram, slowly releasing brilliance. This brilliance is invisible to the human eye, and even with my cultivation and spiritual perception, I can only capture a tiny bit of it through the field of "Qi".But if someone who has opened his eyes like Xuerui looks at it, he will see thousands of colors and countless brilliance-this is the beauty of energy. Qing Xu didn't untie the Jinxiu hexagram around his waist, but he would subconsciously touch it for a while from time to time. After opening the furnace, it is to keep the fire.This is a very boring thing. At that time, the Taoist boy of the Taishang Laojun refused to do it, so he turned into a monster and came down to earth.At this stage, it was time to work hard, and the three of Qingxu were also tired all day, watching the fire in turn, while the other two fell asleep leaning on their backs. The night watchman is Qingxuan, that cold and perverted Taoist in black. After two o'clock in the morning, everything returned to calm. Except for the sound of the wind passing through the mountains and forests and the singing of birds deep in the dense forest, everything was silent, and the tiger cat fluttered its wings.I clasped my palms together, respectfully sending the Golden Silkworm Gu, which bears the heavy responsibility, to fly towards the target.The golden silkworm Gu is too small to be seen, but the tiger-skin cat is in our eyes. Seeing that it is about to arrive, something suddenly explodes in the luggage next to Qingxu, and the howling sound resounds through the forest. I took a closer look and saw that it was a bloody human head.
