In early winter, next to the water pool in the bamboo forest on the top of Black Wind Mountain, a wolf demon with black and gray hair was holding a huge water ball with a radius of three feet in both hands and quickly threw it towards the water. The water ball collided with the water pool and exploded nearly ten feet. There were many puddles, and the black dirty water inside the water ball splashed everywhere. After a while, it was diluted by the water pool and calmed down again.
The wolf demon with black and gray hair is none other than Lang Xing. He just crawled out of the huge alchemy furnace that was about ten feet long and wide and ate a lot of ashes from the bottom of the furnace!
I have the impression that when cultivators make alchemy, they take out a small alchemy furnace from a storage bag, activate it with magic spells, and use earth fire or spiritual fire to refine it. Who would have thought that in this world, to truly make alchemy, you still need to control the fire, look at the furnace, and clean it? Ash!
Lang Xing made a hand seal with his hands, and the demon energy in his right arm stirred up. The water in the pool of water within a few feet in front of him seemed to be alive. It actively gathered between the wolf demon's hands and re-formed a clean water ball. However, the surface kept shaking, as if there was a danger of exploding at any time. generally.
The wolf demon tried its best to control the water ball, used its hind legs to exert force, jumped into the alchemy room, and gently put the water ball into the alchemy furnace. When it saw that it did not explode, it breathed a sigh of relief. The alchemy room was separated by a bamboo curtain, forming two parts, the inner and the outer. Ling Xuzi walked out of the inner room and saw the wolf demon carefully controlling the water. He smiled and said: "Seeing that I had used the water control technique once, I asked me to teach you. I said it was easy to clean the alchemy furnace. I said you have no demon veins and can't learn it." , you just said that demon veins have sprouted in your right arm."
"You're lucky, but why did the Water Control Technique turn into the Water Exploding Technique in your water now?" The wolf demon laughed naively and said, "I have strange demon veins. I only have them in my right arm. It's not surprising that the water is disobedient. Yeah, besides, even if you hit this big stove with a magic weapon, it may not be able to break it. If the water explodes, I will be in a bit of a mess at most!"
Putting Ling Xuzi's teasing behind him, he controlled the purified water again to clean up the impurities in the alchemy furnace, and at the same time recalled and memorized the alchemy knowledge he had learned. Perhaps he felt that a wolf demon could not learn the method of alchemy, and the old Taoist priest did not shy away from making alchemy. Okay, occasionally I will explain a few words when I am in a good mood.
Judging from the concept of previous lives, the huge alchemy furnace in the outer room is only used to decompose raw materials, which is the first step in refining the innate elixir. Nearly a hundred elixirs are refined one by one in a specific order, leaving only the useful parts to be refined into medicinal powder.
A diagram of the Eight Trigrams array was drawn on the floor of the inner room. Above the array, a small golden alchemy furnace was suspended in the air. Below, Ling Xuzi used spiritual energy to activate the rootless fire to further refine the medicine powder.
The alchemy method used in the large alchemy furnace in the outer room is called "burning thatch and making a cauldron". "Burning thatch" means adding fire below, and the "cauld" is equivalent to the wok on top of the alchemy furnace. It is a common alchemy method used by low-level human monks.
It has been more than a month since I followed Ling Xuzi up the mountain. The old Taoist priest said that there is a lack of a boy to burn fire and clear ashes. I originally thought it was just a Taoist's elegant words, but I didn't expect that during this period, I did the work of burning fire and clearing ashes. In more than a month, I Learned the fire control part of the method of burning thatch and making a tripod.
On the second day after going up the mountain, Ling Xuzi taught Lang Xing a small skill called the Fire Drawing Technique. It was not considered a magic trick. It simply used one's own aura or demonic aura to simply influence the external free fire aura and attract the charcoal from the locust tree. Tips for burning, because of the innate spiritual aperture, the wolf demon has strong control over its own demonic energy, and can quickly master the fire-drawing technique. Ling Xuzi saw that Lang Xing was able to do things well, and gradually handed over the fire control part of burning the mao and the cauldron to the wolf. Demon.
Impurities in the elixir will condense on the bottom of the alchemy furnace after refining. Before refining new elixirs, the impurities at the bottom of the furnace must be cleaned to avoid affecting the refining. At the beginning, the wolf demon will fetch water from the water pool and wipe the big alchemy furnace clean. , two elixirs at a time must be quickly refined into powder. Ling Xuzi felt that the washing speed of the wolf demon was slow, so he used the water control technique to introduce the water from the water pool into the elixir furnace. The water was automatically purified and the impurities were removed.
On the pretext of increasing the efficiency of dust cleaning, Lang Xing pestered an experienced Taoist general to teach him the art of controlling water. The art of controlling water is different from the art of drawing fire. It is a serious Taoist art and is equivalent to the magical powers of monsters. If you practice it to a profound level, you can possess something as good as gold.
During the battle of mopping up the Shahe River, the Mud Dragon King controlled the water in the Lixu River section and washed it ashore with great power.
The wolf demon can currently control a water ball of about three feet. After learning the secret of water control, it has been controlling water to clean the ashes. However, it is not yet proficient, and the water ball will explode from time to time...
After cleaning the bottom of the furnace, the wolf demon thought to trigger the fire spell, and the charcoal ignited spontaneously. Ling Xuzi took out an elixir from his waist and put it into the furnace.
The demon changes the temperature.
Half an hour later, the last spiritual light hit the alchemy furnace, and the medicinal powder floated up. Ling Xuzi took out the jade vial, quickly sucked the medicinal powder into the bottle, and then his expression relaxed.
Lang Xing extinguished the charcoal fire at the bottom of the furnace, slumped on the ground, and tried his best to restore the demonic energy in his body. He had realized that although the continuous fire control consumed the demonic energy, his perception of the fire-based spiritual energy from the outside continued to deepen. After the demonic energy was exhausted, the demonic veins would automatically
The speed at which the outside world absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has also increased slightly, so no effort is spared when controlling fire.
Ling Xuzi did not immediately go to the inner room for further refining, so he put away the vial and said to the wolf: "Although you are a wolf demon, you have been serving me for more than a month in alchemy and Taoism. You are alert and intelligent. Now I am considered an independent person. I will pass on some luck to you."
If you enter my alchemy room, all the monsters in the mountain will know that you are close to me. If Qingcheng Temple needs it in the future, you must also contribute."
How can a Taoist cultivator act like a poisonous tail and let me, a wolf monster, interfere with him?
After thinking about it, Ling Xuzi is a human monk after all. The Demon King's attitude is non-committal. He still has a certain degree of freedom, but except for Bai Rou'er, there are no monsters in the mountain field who can get close to him. It is true that he can give some benefits to his family.
normal.
"Master Dao, if you need me, you can call me. I have never been to Qingcheng Temple. As long as I don't violate the rules of the mountain, I will naturally obey your orders!" The wolf demon replied. Ling Xuzi twirled his long beard and shook his head.
Smiling lightly: "That's all! If I look at it, if you are so naughty, I will definitely kick you out!"
Seeing that the wolf demon was pretending to be deaf and mute, as if he could not hear his own teasing, he softly chanted: "When I was in the temple, I killed several evil monks who secretly preached scriptures in the country of Sipanhaji. I got the scroll
The Diamond Body Training Sutra, seeing that your monster body is transparent and not infected by too many impurities, I guess you can learn it too."
When Lang Xing saw that Ling Xuzi was only talking about estimates, he didn't know what he was doing. In addition, he was chanting sutras in the monster's den, and his style of painting was a bit weird. He was afraid that the monster king and generals would hate him, so he wanted to learn some other life-saving magical powers to plan for the future.
A multi-day trip down the mountain increases your chances of success.
Monks secretly preach scriptures. Has the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism begun to emerge in the human world?
"I hope the Taoist master will teach me what kind of monster this evil monk is? If I learn, I won't be killed by the Taoist priests!" Lang Xing changed the subject and asked about the affairs of the Buddhist and Taoist families.
"The evil monk is not a monster, he just believes in Buddhism. He falsely spreads in the country that there will be three paths and six paths in the underworld, deceiving the people in order to seek reincarnation. He also slandered Qingcheng Temple, so the temple owner ordered a ban. You are in the mountains,
If you only learn supernatural powers and don't teach Buddhist principles, who will come to kill you?" After Ling Xuzi finished speaking, he was still confused when he saw the wolf demon and continued:
"The so-called Three Paths and Six Paths are just false teachings by Buddhism. It attempts to unify hell, evil ghosts, animals, the human world, heaven, and the asura world to establish the order of six paths of reincarnation. It is a pure delusion. The Taoist gods in heaven have boundless magic power and unify the three realms.
This is the right path. Although there are no gods in Qingcheng Temple, in Hajie Kingdom, you can only preach Taoism, not Buddhism!"
"It seems that the magical powers of Buddhism are of no use at all." After figuring out the forms of the two religions near Heifeng Mountain, the wolf demon still wanted to learn the magical powers of Taoism, so he said deliberately.
"I have always believed that regardless of Buddhism or the various heretical ways in the world, magical powers can be learned, but the concepts are different. I belong to Qingcheng Temple, and it has nothing to do with whether I have learned Buddhist magical powers. During the meditation, these remarks were not accepted by my fellow disciples, and there was no one to preach to me in the mountains."
The old Taoist Ling Xuzi does have his own ideas. Apart from the mountain monsters, Lang Xing has not come into contact with other forces, no matter whether it is an ideological sect or a sect, he only wants to improve his own strength and cultivation. He calls his own "pragmatism, borrowingism" .
"What's the difference between these two magical powers?" Seeing Ling Xuzi looking a little lonely, Lang Xing asked quickly.
"Most Taoist sects in the world pay more attention to the Dharma than teaching it to the six ears. They put more emphasis on the understanding and calculus of the disciples. Only one in ten thousand can become talented. You have average qualifications and no ancient bloodline. If you were in the Taoist sect, you would be as earthy as you. I can't even take a look at my qualifications." Ling Xuzi Xu recalled the entanglement in Qingcheng Temple and even disparaged the wolf demon a few times.
"I am earth and stone, and they are useful. I can move them wherever they are needed!" Lang Xing didn't care what the Taoist said about his family, as long as he could learn magical powers, he laughed and said, "The Taoist hasn't talked about Buddhism yet!"
"Buddhism emphasizes that all living beings can become Buddhas."
"That's pretty much the same as what you said about teachings but no distinctions." Clearly scornful of the wolf demon's statement, the old Taoist priest said disdainfully:
"You guys are born as demons. When you are in the hands of the Buddhists, you only know how to chant sutras to avoid cause and effect. If you are better, you can be a Dharma protector Vajra. In general, you can be a mount. The Buddhist "Diamond Sutra" talks about all sentient beings. If Whether it is born from an egg, whether it is born from a womb, whether it is born from moisture, whether it is born by transformation, whether it has form, whether it is colorless, whether it has thoughts, whether it has no thoughts, whether it has thoughts, whether it is not without thoughts, I will cause them to enter nirvana without any residue and be annihilated. It seems like a joke!”
"I don't understand..." Lang Xing said that this time he really listened to what the different experts said.
"All you need to know is that Buddhism talks about the reincarnation of karma, and magical powers are no match for karma. Bodhisattvas are afraid of cause and effect, but Taoists talk about changing fate against the will of heaven, and my destiny is up to me. From this point of view, can we tell the level of magical powers between the two families?" Wolf The demon saw that Ling Xuzi was obviously impatient. He had gained a lot in knowledge today and did not dare to delay any longer. He made his final request:
"Of course, the Taoist family has great magical powers. I don't want to learn the magical powers of the Buddhists. I just want the Taoist to teach me a life-saving method!" Lang Xing bowed to Ling Xuzi. In fact, he already had a body tempering bead and his demon body was already there. Being strong and strong coincides with the effect of the Diamond Exercise Sutra. As the saying goes, "My life is up to me", you must first learn how to escape!
