The sound was not loud, and it was within the wing room, but for Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu’s crystal-clear minds, the distance of ten steps did not hinder them from hearing what the temple owner was saying to himself. The content made everyone look at each other and smile. In this Dharma-ending land, there are still people who are pursuing the way of eternal life through external elixirs.
Hearing the sound of the explosion, the little boy hurriedly turned around and rushed in. After a while, he coughed and complained and pulled out a tall man whose face and clothes were covered with dark dust: "Grandpa, the viewer, so Big smoke, what are you doing standing there?"
The tall man's voice was quite old, and he said a little absent-mindedly: "Perhaps if you feel carefully what's wrong with the smoke, you can find the reason why it always fails." As he said this, he wanted to continue walking into the wing, but he didn't. The little boy covered his face with a wet handkerchief that he had prepared a long time ago. A cool feeling came to him, which made him sober up. He couldn't help but sigh, and wiped his face carefully with the handkerchief.
"Grandpa, the visitor, there is a passing couple who want to stay overnight." The little boy quickly took the opportunity to tell the visitor about Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu.
After wiping his face, the viewer didn’t look as old as he sounded. He was in his forties, with an upright appearance and some gray hair on his temples, which made him look exhausted.
He looked up at Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu, and saw that they did not look like extremely evil people, and that they were good-looking, calm and indifferent. In addition, they were not far from the capital, and there were often travelers and businessmen staying overnight, so he smiled and said: "If You two don’t mind that the hotel is simple and noisy, so just choose a wing.”
As he said that, he stepped forward to meet him, but something rolled out of his alchemy room just now, and it happened to be at his feet. So he stepped on it, staggered, and was about to fall, but at this time, a pair of White and steady hands firmly held his shoulders, preventing him from colliding with the ground.
"Thank you." The viewer said gratefully, even if he really fell. With my relatively strong body, there won't be any serious consequences, but the other party has good intentions after all.
Standing still and taking a closer look, a faint doubt arose in his heart. The woman in the purple skirt was at the gate seven or eight steps away, and the moment she stepped forward, she clearly saw the man in the green robe standing side by side with her. How could she have time to support herself? Even those masters with swords, fists and kicks that I have seen in the past can only take three or four steps when they fall.
Shi Xuan smiled and said: "I, Shi Xuan, can be considered a Taoist priest. This is my friend Mo Jingqiu."
"The old Taoist took his Taoist name Wuwu. As for his common name in the past, he has long forgotten it." When the master of Wuwu temple heard that Shi Xuan claimed to be a Taoist priest, he looked a little happy, and then pointed to the little boy, " His name is Jiang Liu, a child from Shanyin Village. He likes to listen to the old Taoist talk about weird and strange things, so he likes to go to the temple. Later, he became interested in alchemy and the art of immortality, and often helped the old Taoist. , although he has not officially started yet, he can still be regarded as a half-disciple."
After finishing speaking, the master of Wuwang Temple said expectantly: "I wonder if Taoist friend Shi has any insights into the method of alchemy? Can you help the Taoist learn more about the reasons for the failure just now?"
"Maybe the source of the fire is wrong." Shi Xuan didn't know how his alchemy method was, but there was one problem that he couldn't overcome. In a world based on the power of the five elements, slightly more complex material changes are involved. Either it needs the blessing of Taoist talismans and seals, or it has to be refined with various kinds of real fire and water, such as the true fire of stars, the dazzling fire of heavenly thunder, etc., and there are very few such foreign objects. In the land of the end of law, it is almost non-existent.
Wuwang Guanzhu's eyes lit up: "Yes, how can the elixir of immortality be refined with ordinary fire!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cursing voice came from outside the audience: "Jiang Liu, why did you come to Crazy Old Road again?" A strong peasant woman in her early thirties walked in and pointed to the hiding place. The small river flowing behind Wuwang Temple. "Don't go back with me yet."
Jiang Liu shook his head: "Mom, it's still early, let me stay a little longer."
"Huh, this old man is crazy and crazy. He has never married or had any children in his life. He is very unfilial. You have been with him for a long time. If you learn that he only wants some **** immortality, I will die unjustly." Jiang said sarcastically, If she hadn't been able to learn calligraphy and reading for free at Laodao, she would have let Jiang Liu go to school long ago.
Wuhuang Guanzhu could not help but retort: "All things in the world, mountains and rivers, have existed for a long time. Why can't we, the spirits of all things, seek the way to immortality? You peasant women have little knowledge, so don't talk nonsense."
Jiang sneered: "Old Master Wuwu, let me ask you, have you ever seen anyone immortal in the world? Those who are truly immortal are not the reincarnations of gods and Buddhas. How can we mortals be able to practice Taoism and become immortals?"
"Humph, those swindlers can only deceive foolish men and women like you." Wuwu said disdainfully.
Jiang continued to ask: "Then what do you gain from praying for immortality? There are no immortal methods at all. Both parents died of old age at home. He was a famous doctor in the capital and had a fortune, but now he can only guard this dilapidated Taoist temple and make the The elixir made the last disciple go crazy until he died. He was just over forty, but he was like a sixty-year-old man, covered with diseases. I think you are not seeking immortality, but seeking death!"
This peasant woman looked like she had read a few books for a few days. She was well-spoken and well-organized. After she finished speaking, she didn’t care about the old saying. She just pulled Jiang Liu and walked away from the view. Jiang Liu did not dare to resist and turned to face The old man winked and said he would sneak over again later.
"You, you don't understand." Old Taoist Wuwu was a little sad and lost. "In the remote and backward southern Xinjiang, there is the art of voodoo and poison. They all have supernatural powers. How can we, those who practice Taoism and seek immortality, There may be no means, it’s just that the old man is stupid and has difficulty getting started.”
Despair is more painful than admitting frustration.
Hearing this, Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu were quite puzzled, but they soon figured it out. Hunyuan Jindou was just an innate Taoist embryo with no spiritual intelligence, and its power was dispersed and unable to be evenly distributed. The smaller the place, the less suppressed it is. In extremely remote places, it is normal for something similar to magic to appear. However, in this world, no matter how remote it is, it can only reach this step and cannot become a real magic.
Wuwang Lao Dao was lost for a moment, then he calmed down his emotions, put all these things behind, and thought about what Shi Xuan just said, "If you don't need ordinary fire, where can you find the real fire of the Xian family? I wonder those Taoist friends Is there any news about this? ”
For a while, he fell into deep contemplation.
Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu were both carefree and unrestrained people. They made fire and cooked food by themselves. After the rice was cooked, they woke up Wuwu Lao Dao and ate with him.
"Master, I wonder where it is a hundred miles away in that direction?" Shi Xuan pointed to the southeast.
Wuwang Lao Dao looked at it and replied dumbly: "The capital." He was still thinking, and he was not surprised that someone would arrive nearby and not know it was the capital.
It turned out to be the capital. Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu were stunned at first, and then a little relieved. The place where the innate Tao fetus was placed would inevitably have some supernatural phenomena. It would naturally be regarded as a place with strong luck. Building the capital would only I hope it won't be underground in some palace, that would take quite a lot of trouble.
Is there such a thing as the old Taoist in front of me, who is not surprised and confused about everything? Naturally, Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu immediately asked each other, and gradually determined the whereabouts of Hunyuan Jindou.
When the capital was established here, someone found a golden bucket in a cave. The pattern was complex and mysterious, and the light was dim but meaningful. It was regarded as a divine creature from heaven and a sign of auspiciousness, and was enshrined in the ancestral temple. The temple is on the side of the palace and is heavily guarded.
Both Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they are not buried deep underground, they will have to spend a lot of time digging. After all, the longer the time, the greater the variables. There are many strong bows and crossbows without interruption and empty space. Even if the two people's hearts are like mirrors, reflecting the surrounding area, they can't avoid it. With the ancestral temple as a barrier, the other party can't use fire attacks, wall breaking and other means.
Sneaking into the palace is not as difficult as ascending to heaven.
After determining their goals, Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu each chose a private room and began to rest and adjust, striving to restore their condition as soon as possible.
…………
In the dead of night, outside the dilapidated Taoist temple, several men in black clothes suddenly sneaked in. Their faces were covered with thick masks.
"Is this here?" A man in black asked the leader in confusion, "How could the Taoist man whom the Imperial Master asked me to arrest be in such a dilapidated Taoist temple?" Even if he is not as good as the Imperial Master, To become a close confidant of the emperor and live in eight houses, at least the Taoist temple should be prosperous. Could it be that this Taoist man can't even pretend to be a ghost?
The leader nodded and said affirmatively: "Here it is. The national master said that he is a born person who concentrates on refining elixirs. He accidentally tasted one of his elixirs and felt that it was of great help to his spiritual cultivation, so he planned to take him 'Please' go back, even if it was a coincidence before and no matter how difficult it is to make, you can make some longevity elixirs to coax the emperor. The older the emperor is, the more he is addicted to the elixir of longevity, and the more alienated he is from the imperial master. Get close to the Taoist priest who plays with the elixir."
Above them, there was a black crow hovering quietly and watching, melting into the darkness. Its eyes had no intelligence, but its movements were different from ordinary crows, as if it had been tamed by someone using special techniques.
"Where are the others in the Taoist temple?" asked another man in black.
The leader responded coldly: "It's their bad luck to silence them."
After confirming the place, the men in black began to climb over the white wall with great skill. However, as soon as they landed, they felt a flash of cold light and lost consciousness.
The two people who came in from the back were shocked when they saw the person in front of them falling down silently. They threw a bag of highly poisonous powder into the sky. This was a life-saving thing given by the Imperial Master, and it covered the area. It erodes the skin when it touches the skin. Even if dozens or hundreds of people are ambushed on the opposite side, they will suffer the same fate.
But before they could feel proud, they felt the opponent's sword light swirling, strong wind blowing, and some of the poisonous powder rolled back, causing them to corrode to death before they could even scream.
With clear minds, Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu's footsteps were weird. Covered in the remaining poisonous powder, they found weak points and swung their swords to protect themselves and escaped.
"You come to seize people, and you talk nonsense and disturb their dreams." Shi Xuan shook his head and smiled, and he and Mo Jingqiu went back to the room to rest without doing anything, so that Wuwang Lao Dao could learn more after seeing it. Be wary, and the meaning revealed in the words of the men in black gave the two of them some ideas.
