Chapter 168: Tou rate(1/2)
(The eighth heaven is deeply closed, so there is no chance of returning to the soul in the heart of the heart)
Thousands of miles away, you can see the vast sea of clouds. The misty wind followed Taoist Guyang as he walked in the eighth heaven, but the majestic scenery of the first heaven was nowhere to be seen.
The sky in the southwest is vast and flat, and as far as the eye can see, only a copper-colored ball in the distance catches Lanfeng's eyes.
Not only that, Lan Feng also found that the atmosphere here was different from that in Nantian.
The energy of yin and yang is still strong, and has the trend of east yang and west yin. Even the sea of clouds under your feet are driven by these two auras, swirling together to look like a yin and yang fish.
Lan Feng said: "Senior Guyang, why is the yin and yang energy here so strong?"
Guyang said: "You have been in the furnace for thousands of years, so it is not the rule of the eighth heaven.
Unlike other heavens, the Eighth Heaven had only four palaces built in it. One of them, the Tongming Hall, was where the Jade Emperor summoned his immortal ministers, while the Lingxiao Hall was the Jade Emperor's training place.
Normally, the Jade Emperor would not summon his immortal ministers if there was no important matter, so the Tongming Palace was practical but useless.
The yin and yang energy you perceive is emanated from the Sun God Palace and the Moon God Palace.
These two Lords of Jiuyao Star often handle things here, and they also gather the essence of the sun and moon in this second palace.
When they have nothing to do, they will return to Jiuyao Palace to rest."
So that's it, Lan Feng nodded in agreement. It seems that the system and personnel transfer in this heaven are much more complicated than he thought.
"But," Lan Feng said again, "if the two qi of yin and yang are not harmonious, wouldn't they repel and explode?"
Guyang smiled and said: "Isn't this a place for you to be useful? The Tushita Palace is built at the symmetrical center of the Sun and Moon Palace."
Lan Feng was stunned for a moment, and it was random.
The civil and military fire is the fire of yin and yang, and one yin and one yang are called the Tao. The Sun and Moon Palace emits the qi of yin and yang, and the location of the Tushita Palace becomes the place where the two qi blend.
This place should have been like water and fire, but Laojun arranged for civil and military fire to be in the Bagua furnace.
This time, the explosive force was completely absorbed by the civil and military fire and turned into fire to refine the golden elixir!
Tushita Palace is located in the southwestern Zhutian, with the five elements of golden fire, corresponding to the alchemy furnace and the civil and military fire. This is the time to gain heaven.
In addition, the Sun and Moon Palace matches the yin and yang civil and military fire, which is a geographical advantage.
The world is complete, and now that Lan Feng, the so-called furnace soul, has come to help, I'm afraid Renhe is not included.
This Taishang Laojun’s wishful thinking is really loud and clear!
Not long after, the sea of clouds under Lanfeng's feet began to flow rapidly, and the two of them arrived in front of the copper-colored sphere they had just seen.
Lan Feng was still wondering before, there was no palace in this wilderness, how could there be a copper ball.
Only then did he know that this copper ball was the Tushita Palace, Taishang Laojun’s residence in heaven!
This Tushita Palace is also strange. Although it looks like a copper ball, it is not exactly a ball.
It is made of two layers of copper-colored metal.
These two layers of metal are always spheres, but each layer has its own hollow pattern, like flames or clouds.
When he looked carefully, he couldn't recognize it. Anyway, in Lan Feng's opinion, it was just a hollow copper ball formed by disorderly twisting and cutting!
This copper ball-like Tushita Palace is more than ten feet in diameter. The copper color reflects the skylight and makes it difficult to see what's inside.
On the contrary, there is a stele with a strange stone of one foot or two, and the words "Tushita Palace" are engraved on the door of this bronze ball.
Guyang stepped forward, pointed his sword in front of him, and shouted: "The bronze doors fight each other, and the doors open each other..."
As he spoke, he pointed his sword in the sky to draw a five-pointed star, and then shouted: "Urgent as a rule!"
After drinking, the two layers of hollow copper balls automatically rotated in different directions with the center of the ball. In a moment, the two layers of copper balls aligned with their respective gaps to form a door.
"Let's go. I haven't been back for a thousand years, so I'm afraid I've forgotten all these things." Guyang held on to the door frame and walked in, followed closely by Lan Feng.
"combine!"
Guyang's sword finger rose again, causing the bronze door to close.
Lan Feng could only see that the bright candles were transparent and the light was exquisite.
Looking up, there are eight alchemy platforms lined up all around, layer upon layer with no end in sight.
It should be the independent space opened up by Taishang Laojun in the Tushita Palace. There are eight dragon-headed gourds on each alchemy platform on each floor. There are sixty-four gourds on each floor.
And the source of the firelight is that
There is a copper lamp in front of countless gourds. The light will not be scattered by the wind or extinguished by the falling rain.
Hanging in the air is a three-foot-large purple, gold, and red gourd.
This gourd is different from others. It should have eight carved dragon heads and several auspicious clouds. The dragon head on the gourd's mouth is golden in color and holds a golden elixir in its mouth.
"Laojun's alchemy platform has different grades from bottom to top. The eight directions hexagram also separate the different functions of these golden elixirs.
Gods have souls, and elixirs have elixirs. Those copper lamps are the Six Ding Divine Fire, which are used to protect the elixirs and elixirs from losing their efficacy over time.
And inside that purple-gold-red gourd is the fire of the Six Ding Divine Fire."
Lan Feng nodded after hearing this, Liu Ding Shenhuo... It seems that this Supreme Lord has many strange things in his hands!
After reading from the top, Lanfeng looked down again.
Then I saw a seven-foot circular opening in the middle of the ground, and something poked out of it.
Four fire-patterned copper pillars are arranged squarely, topped by a carved yin-yang copper cover, with a red bird sculptured on the cover, entrenched here and exuding the aura of fire.
There was obviously something underneath the round mouth, but it was blocked from view.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the lower level and tell you about the next arrangements." Guyang said.
Sure enough, it's not that simple, Lan Feng thought.
Walking two feet to the left, you can see the fire seeping out from under your feet. You can faintly see a step, made of dark red flint.
When spinning down, the fire became more intense. When he stood on the lower floor, what Lan Feng saw was a bronze alchemy cauldron!
This furnace is three feet, six feet and five inches high and has a circumference of two feet and four feet.
Three feet, six feet and five inches high, according to the 365 degrees of the circumference; two feet and four feet around the circle, according to the political calendar, twenty-four qi.
There are nine orifices and eight holes on it, arranged according to the nine palaces and eight trigrams.
There are eight futons arranged around the alchemy furnace, according to the eight trigrams "Qian(?), Kan(?), Gen(?), Zhen(?), Xun(?), Li(?), Kun(?),
"Dui(?)" encircles the circle in turn.
In addition to the Qian and Kun seats, there is a child sitting above each one. Each child is also named after this Eight Diagrams.
As for the Qiankun position, what Lan Feng saw was that there were gold and silver spiritual light pouring from the stone walls on both sides.
The structure of the Bagua Dan furnace is also strange. Below it is the Dan cauldron furnace urn, which stands on three legs, not touching the ground but hanging in the air. This is also the place where civil and military fires gather, and the fire will burn forever. The "Bagua Dan" in the Bagua hole
The "Xun" position is here.
Back then, Monkey King Qitian was thrown into the Bagua furnace. After several twists and turns, he found the "Xun" position and was lucky enough to escape his life.
The furnace urn is divided into eight sides. Except for the "Xun" ventilation hole, all other sides are printed with Yin and Yang symbols.
The furnace urn is conveniently located above the furnace cauldron, which is also the main place for throwing medicinal materials. All kinds of treasures from heaven and earth are gathered here, and after being calcined by scriptures and martial arts, they can become elixirs.
However, the elixirs refined through the furnace are not of high grade. Higher-level elixirs are also refined in this furnace, and then their essence is continued to rise into the "continuous cauldron" above, that is.
The four copper pillars Lan Feng saw on the first floor.
These four copper pillars will gather the breath of civil and military fire to form a four-image refining formation, and the essence of the cauldron will be suppressed in this refining formation. If the cauldron is connected further, the tripod will be sealed.
At this time, it is also time for Taishang Laojun or the alchemist to guard the elixir.
"Alchemy keeper?" Lan Feng said.
Guyang nodded: "Since Laojun was summoned to Kunlun, the Dan Guardian has changed his Fangwai incarnation. However, even his Fangwai incarnation has disappeared a few days ago.
Before he left, he left a golden elixir behind and told me to send it to Kunlun after practicing it. Given my ability, it is too far-fetched to keep this golden elixir.
But it will be different when you are here."
Gu Yang looked at Lan Feng and said: "You are the soul of the furnace of civil and military fire, and you are very good at controlling the temperature of the fire. So I want you to help me refine this golden elixir."
"But according to Mr. Guyang's instructions." Lan Feng said.
Guyang nodded, he took out a jade slip from his pocket and handed it to Lanfeng, saying: "The basic essentials of guarding the elixir are all here.
You can take a look today, and I will explain it to you in detail tomorrow. In addition, you can also walk around and take a look at other places except for the two stone walls in the Qiankun position.
Don't disturb these children. They control the fire in the furnace when you are not around.
I'm right next to the cauldron on the first floor. If anything happens to you, come and find me there."
Lan Feng nodded and said: "Thank you, Mr. Guyang, for entering and exiting Tushita Palace..."
Guyang said: "When the Eight Diagrams are opened, they will be opened, and when the door of surprise is closed, it is just that you and I are working for Laojun. If there is no other reason, we are not allowed to leave the Tushita Palace, let alone the eighth heaven."
If something happens to you, you need to tell me or Laojun in advance, and get the order to go in and out after approval."
"I would like to obey your words, sir." Lan Feng responded. He knew that he should not make too many demands when he came here, otherwise he would be in trouble if Gu Yang was suspicious of him.
When Gu Yang saw Lan Feng finish asking questions, he pointed his sword in salute and went up to the first floor.
