The pine and cypress trees, stubborn rocks, flowers and plants for miles around were all moved away by the magic of the body and spirit.
Yes, it was moved without damaging the roots and stems of trees, flowers, and grass. Just like the universe was moved, the gods worked together to use the transportation technique to clear a place.
The alchemy platform was made of bluestone in the center, and a small three-foot alchemy furnace was burned red.
One by one, the strong men continued to throw firewood and charcoal into the bottom of the furnace, and the flames were rolling. A little high temperature came out, and the void was distorted.
"Agarwood and white sandalwood each cost 2 liang and 2 qian each, Cen Ling Xiang 8 liang and 8 qian each, Scrophulariaceae two kilograms..." Liu Qiao flicked the fly whisk on his arm.
If Liu Qiao is asked to refine golden elixirs and spiritual elixirs, then his skills of burning cogongrass and making cauldrons are not up to par, but to refine a furnace of cinnabar, he can pinch it with his hands.
Next, the strongman followed the instructions and poured the medicinal materials that had been weighed in advance into powder into the furnace.
The medicine was put into the furnace to increase the power of the fire, and Liu Qiao sometimes spit out Samadhi fire to help.
"One pound of mica is six taels, and two pounds of cinnabar is seven taels..."
"Huhu..." The mica entered the furnace and instantly ignited the inside of the alchemy furnace, making a "chichi" sound like gunpowder.
At this time, as soon as the cinnabar entered the furnace, it was rolled up by the flames in the furnace, and "crackling" hit the furnace wall, like fried jelly beans, and like a pot of iron sand rolling in the furnace.
It continued to be fired in this way, and I don't know how many bundles of firewood and piles of charcoal were used. The sun also hung from the center to the west.
Liu Qiao, who had been sitting down with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, counted with his fingers, stood up and said: "Use rootless water and turn on the stove!"
These warriors had also practiced elixirs with Liu Qiao before, so they naturally knew what rootless water meant.
The powerful man held a bowl of pure water and poured it from outside the mouth of the alchemy furnace. "Chichi" white smoke rose up, just like pouring water on a fire.
"Bang Dang..." Another four strong men came forward, extinguished the fire, and opened the furnace lid.
Liu Qiao walked up to take a look, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, okay, I just need to feed the centipedes for seven days, and I will learn another great skill..."
In the dark furnace, there is a pile of silver-white gravel, full of particles as big as mesons, like a piece of silver sand, piled at the bottom of the furnace.
Liu Qiao put away the cinnabar refined in the furnace and walked towards the alien centipede huddled in the crack of the stone with a chuckle.
"Little darling, hurry up and eat..."
"Huchi..." Centipede shook his head and struggled, but couldn't resist.
…
Within the Five Passes, among the steep mountains, there were densely packed troops, three to five men in a row, their armor refracted light like winding snakes and lins, walking hard on the mountain roads.
Among the ranks of the Chinese army, an old man with a wide robe and long sleeves, a golden crown and silk ribbons, was riding on the back of a ten-foot-tall black unicorn.
"Jili, where are the steep mountains ahead?" the old man asked, waving his whip.
A young general in black armor came forward on horseback and said: "Go back to the old master, that side is Huanghua Mountain!"
When the Grand Master heard this, he opened his divine eyes on his forehead, looked at it from a hundred miles away, waved his hands and said, "I saw that there seemed to be a war atmosphere lurking in that mountain, so I sent an order to camp and rest."
"Yes..." Several military schools hurriedly went down to deliver the order to set up camp and rest. This was not a real rest, but for the soldiers to wear armor and the sergeants to take weapons and be on guard.
In real marching, a pair of armor weighs tens of kilograms. No one can wear it all the time for thousands of miles. It is always put on the car, marching in red binding, and only wears the armor when waiting for battle.
Ji Li said in confusion: "This is within the territory of the Five Passes, under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. It is said that it is impossible for the Qi thieves to cross the Five Passes and come to ambush."
Wen Taishi shook his head and said: "Not like a sergeant, but more like a group of bandits. In this world...a group of bandits is actually like an army robbing the imperial court..."
"I'm going to investigate, Ji Li, you are in charge of the sergeants here..."
Ji Li bowed and said: "As ordered..."
When I heard that the Grand Master patted the Mo Qilin, the strange beast wrapped its hooves around the clouds, like soaring clouds and riding on the mist. It was about ten feet above the ground, and in a moment it traveled a hundred miles to reach the top of the mountain.
"Sure enough, there is an ambush..." Master Wen looked over quietly.
Behind the mountain, I saw about tens of thousands of people, all of whom were in ragged clothes, armed with bamboo spears and rattan flags.
When I heard that the grand master was watching, he shouted loudly from behind and rushed towards him.
His face was like indigo, his hair was like cinnabar, his fangs were protruding up and down, he was holding a big axe, and he came astride a horse.
When Wen Taishi saw his appearance, he secretly thought: "That guy doesn't look like a mortal, but like a stranger. He is truly heroic. If he can subdue him and flatten Xiqi, it will be a great help."
"You old man, how dare you spy on our military plane and take it!" The blue-faced man was also reckless. When he saw the Grand Master sitting on a unicorn, he didn't notice anything strange. He danced with his mountain ax and shouted to kill him.
The Grand Master hurriedly used his whip to block the attack, whipping his ax back and forth. After two rounds of fighting, the Grand Master slapped his mount and turned away.
The blue-faced general shouted loudly and rode off to catch up with the Grand Master.
Hearing the ringing of a bell behind his ears, the Grand Master pinched the golden talisman, and the Five Elements of Yuan Shen flashed. He turned around and pointed with the golden whip, shouting: "Here!"
"Bang, bang... boom..." There were several explosions, and several golden walls were built on the ground, as high as peaks and as thick as city walls.
The blue-faced man was surrounded by four golden walls, unable to break free.
However, the Grand Master had perfected the Five Escapes and had perfected his magical power. His thoughts immediately arose and his infinite magical effects enabled him to use the Golden Escape to capture the man.
"What happened to my brother, old thief!" a voice shouted from the hillside.
There are two more warriors, each two feet tall. One has a green face and a horny beard and is as fierce as a dragon with a spear. The other has a blue face and a hooked mouth, like a thunder god, wielding double golden whips.
Behind these two weirdos were a group of minions, wielding knives and dancing spears, and surrounded Grand Master Wen.
Wen Taishi pointed the golden whip and said: "You two, slow down!"
When the two weirdos saw the Grand Master's three eyes, they were surprised and asked: "Who are you? You dare to commit murder here and take my brother there? Send him back well and spare your life!"
"Haha, just now, the blue-faced guy came to kill me, but I whipped him to death..." Master Wen laughed.
The expressions of the two men changed greatly, and they were filled with anger. One fired a gun, the other whipped two whips, and they came to attack the Grand Master one after another.
The Grand Master swung his whip to meet them, charging up and down. The three cavalry joined each other, and there were two close fights. The Grand Master turned the Qilin again and headed east.
The two weirdos were furious and chased them with their horses. The grand master repeated his old tricks and thought, causing the world around him to change.
With a finger of the golden whip, blue sea water emerged out of thin air, and the green-faced and bearded general, together with tens of thousands of minions, all escaped into the water, unable to struggle.
With another finger, the endless branches of trees in the mountains were like blooming iron trees, and the thorns spread thousands of miles, trapping the strange man with a blue face and a thunderous mouth.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the middle of the process, there was another loud shout from the sky: "What a good thief, if I beat my brother to death, how can I let you live alone and take your life!"
The sound was like the roar of an old dragon, like thunder, which shook the clouds in the sky and scattered them.
The grand master turned his head and looked, but he saw a strange man with a pair of wings that flapped like thunder.
This man has a face as heavy as a jujube, wears a tiger head crown, holds a pair of hammers and drills, can strike like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, has fangs and a sharp mouth, he is really vicious.
"What a strange and heroic man!" the Grand Master said happily instead of being surprised.
"Among the Five Escapes, you can't escape this person..." The Grand Master looked at it with his Dharma Eyes and knew that this strange man was mysterious. He was born to hold the cardinal position of Yin and Yang, so even the Five Escapes could not escape him.
The grand master made a twist, pointed the golden whip in his hand towards a big mountain, pointed three fingers at it, and shouted: "Move the mountain!"
"Boom..." There was a loud noise, as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling. A huge mountain rose up from the ground and flew over very fast.
"Ah..." Before the strange man with two wings and a red face could fly to the Grand Master, he was pinned down by a falling mountain.
However, he was born with supernatural powers and had unrivaled strength. He was pressed down by this huge mountain. Not only was he not crushed to death, but he kept struggling, as if he was trying to lift the mountain.
"Ah... boom..." The red-faced weirdo roared, carrying the mountain on his back and almost lifting it up. He was really similar to Sun Dasheng at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, standing on his own feet.
"Go!" Hearing that the Grand Master was a little surprised, he stretched out his golden whip and pointed his finger, the Five Elements Escape Technique was activated, and in an instant a golden wall spread, welding the mountain to the ground.
Now the red-faced weirdo could no longer struggle. The Five Elements Taoist magic, material transformation, turning water into oil, and turning stone into gold were just a matter of leisure.
At this time, the mountain is connected to the earth's veins thousands of feet underground. Not to mention his infinite divine power, it is difficult for him to struggle out like the earth and the sky.
Hearing that the Grand Master turned to Mo Qilin and came closer, he whipped his whip and hit the exposed head.
The man hurriedly begged for mercy: "Teacher, please stop beating me. I have surrendered. I am willing to surrender! I am willing to surrender!"
The grand master put back his whip and said with a smile: "You don't know me. I am the grand master of the emperor. My father is marching a large army to Xiqi. You dare to ambush the imperial army. This is a capital crime!"
"Grand Master! You are the Grand Master Wen!" The red-faced man said with admiration: "Damn it! If we had known that it was the Grand Master who was passing by, how could we dare to deceive and offend the Grand Master's Tianyan."
Wen Taishi said: "You want to die now or live? If you want to live, I will show you a clear path. Follow me to Xiqi to quell the chaos. When I succeed, I will be able to wear beautiful clothes and jade belt."
"If the Grand Master will not give up, I am willing to serve as the Grand Master's subordinate!" the red-faced man said happily.
When the Grand Master heard this, he nodded and waved his hand, and the mountain flew back to its original position like goose feathers blown by the wind.
"Grand Master, I have a few brothers. Please let them go. We brothers are of the same mind and are willing to serve the Grand Master!" said the red-faced man with wings.
The grand master didn't doubt it either, so he accepted the magical power as he was told and released the three people from before.
The four people gathered together and murmured for a long time, and then they all came to pay homage to Wen Zhongdao: "We are willing to serve the Grand Master as a saddle horse!"
"Haha, okay, what are the names of the four of you?" Master Wen asked with satisfaction.
The man with fangs and an ax who came out first said: "General Deng Zhong, please pay your respects to the Grand Master!"
The red-faced man with two wings and the one with the hammer and chisel also bowed and said: "The last general, Xin Huan, pays homage to the Grand Master!"
The man with a green face and beard, wielding a spear, said, "General Zhang Jie, please pay your respects to the Grand Master!"
Finally, the one with a blue face and two bronze whips also bowed: "The last general, Tao Rong, pays homage to the Grand Master!"
"Good! Good! Good!" The grand master was overjoyed and said three good words in a row.
Then he said, "I see that the four martial arts are superb. Please gather the food and grass tribe first and follow me back to the camp. Then I will get the craftsmen to make a pair with you and put on the armor!"
It turned out that these four people were none other than the human dragons who were sought out by the gods for titles. They were the Four Heavenly Lords named Deng, Zhang, Xin and Tao.
Speaking of this, it may not be famous, but when it comes to Sun Dasheng causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace and attacking the Lingxiao Palace, Lei Zu sent thirty-six Heavenly Lords to gather around the Great Sage, and the fight was evenly divided.
Among them are the Four Heavenly Lords Deng, Zhang, Xin, and Tao, and the rest include Ma, Zhao, Wen, Guan, etc., collectively known as the Ten Heavenly Lords.
After subduing the Four Heavenly Lords, they heard that the Grand Master was resting for half a day in Huanghua Mountain. The three armies broke out of the camp and continued to leave the pass and headed west.
Not far away, we saw another mountain, stretching for thousands of miles. Needless to say, it was steep and steep.
The key is that at the foot of the mountain, next to the roadside, there is a stone tablet. I don’t know who recorded it, but it was newly erected.
The Grand Master looked at the words on the stone tablet, squinted and said, "Juelong Ridge! What a Juelong Ridge!"
Seeing that Deng Zhong, Xin Huan and others were puzzled, the Grand Master explained: "I originally worshiped the overseas Penglai immortal as my teacher and studied the art for sixty years. When I started as a teacher, my teacher Jin Ling Sheng Sheng once said: I will never meet anyone in my life.
Absolute word!"
Deng Zhong and others laughed and said: "The Taishi's words are wrong. Good people have their own destiny. How can a man determine misfortune and fortune with just one word? Xiqi is no more than a magician of the demon party. Taishi's great magic can be leveled with just a wave of his hand."
…”
Wen Zhong felt a layer of gloom in his heart, but he smiled on his face, not caring about his appearance, and ordered the three armies to move quickly and arrive at Xiqi as soon as possible.
…
Just when I heard that Grand Master was passing through Juelong Ridge.
In Zhongnan Mountain, in a quiet valley, all you can see are cornices and brackets, pavilions and pavilions, making it look like a fairyland in another world.
In the fairyland, several Taoists are wearing cranes, silk cloaks, clouds and haze, holding fly whisks, or sitting on the alchemy platform, talking and laughing each other.
Among them was an old Taoist with a clumsy appearance, wearing a bun with a double bun, a black and white soap robe, and an ancient appearance.
At this time, there was a sound of wind in the sky, like thunder, and a man with a face like indigo, red hair and fangs, holding a copper stick fell on the ground, and bowed to the immortals.
A Taoist with water-coloured hair, tied with silk ribbons, a high bun, and a short beard said: "Thunder shocks my disciple, can things be accomplished?"
"Master, I have found the path he must take, and he has engraved [Juelong Ridge] on the stone tablet and planted it. He must have seen it..." Lei Zhenzi replied in a buzzing voice.
Then he added: "He seemed to have seen me, but he didn't say anything. He just paused for a moment and then led the army to the west..."
When Yun Zhongzi heard this, he sighed: "By God, he is bound to do this and not listen to his teacher. Since we can't persuade him, there is nothing we can do."
At this time, the skinny old Taoist wearing a black and white robe and a bun with two hairpins twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have made an agreement with the Holy Mother. His disciple cannot die. He has to be "absolute" to spend this time."
It's not a loss to him for being so scheming."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Master Ran Deng is right..." All the immortals nodded and said.
Taoist Ran Deng didn't say much. He just asked Yun Zhongzi: "What I asked you to practice has not been completed yet?"
"We still need some materials, and it will take at least forty-eight days to come out of the oven..." Yun Zhongzi shook his head.
"His Five Escapes are extraordinary. This matter is of great importance. Fellow Taoist Yunzhong, you should know..." Old Taoist Ran Deng said quietly, twisting his beard.
After arriving at the mountain, Liu Qiao was able to refine cinnabar, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
At this time, in front of the unknown valley, a big centipede shook its head and scurried around, surrounded by strong men and heavenly soldiers, armed with swords, spears, and axes.
However, when the sword and gun fell on the centipede, only sparks flew everywhere, as if there was nothing.
Liu Qiao twirled his fingers and said, "Definitely!"
"Huh..." The centipede scurrying all over the ground suddenly stopped. It only moved its eyes around, anxious, but its whole body was like a ghost on the bed, unable to move at all.
But Liu Qiao said with satisfaction: "What an evil beast. After eating Pindao's cinnabar for seven days, I don't know how many miraculous medicines there are, and now you still dare to resist!"
The centipede was originally extremely resistant and ate the cinnabar and then vomited it out. However, Liu Qiao discovered it and hung it up and gave it three hundred whips. The centipede no longer dared to vomit anymore.
However, after swallowing cinnabar for the first time, the centipede became more and more devoured and felt that its spirituality was getting stronger and its wisdom was getting higher and higher.
From the instinctive IQ of a baby, it has now risen to that of a three-year-old child.
Centipede gained wisdom and knew that he could not defeat the "evil man" in front of him, nor could he resist. Since he could not resist, he could only accept it happily...
"It smells so good..." Centipede.
Every time Centipede takes Cinnamon for one day, I feel that my spirituality has skyrocketed. I can understand everything I couldn't understand before, and I can understand everything I didn't understand before.
As the "wisdom" increases, the centipede's strength and magical powers are increasing rapidly.
I want to swallow my anger and wait until one day to kill this abominable "evil man" in one go
The centipede, who was just lying on the firewood and tasting its courage, rejoicing in the growth of its wisdom every day, did not realize that as its wisdom grew, the connection between the soul and the body became weaker and weaker.
After Liu Qiao stabilized the centipede, he waved his hand and dozens of strong men rushed forward and lifted the centipede into the cave.
In the cave, there were more than ten strong men, armed with hook knives, machetes, oil pans, charcoal, and dozens of torture instruments ready.
"Infinite longevity, boy! You are blessed again..." Liu Qiao looked at the centipede and smiled.
There is a saying in the secret technique: take cinnabar for seven days, and the spirit of the little beast will gradually grow. You should torture it to death and use its overwhelming resentment to refine the magic talisman.
And this resentment, which is the true spirit and nature of the little beast, then burns its remains, just like the emergence of an immortal, absorbing all the physical form with its soul.
In this way, there is spirit and nature, form and quality, all forms and qualities are complete, the ability is big and small, the ability is invisible and visible, and the immortal body of Chisuo is transformed.
"Hulking!" The centipede looked frightened in its eyes and was carried into the cave by the strongman.
Liu Qiao waved his hand, indicating that the Yellow Turban Warriors could start, and walked out of the cave with his hands behind his back.
The Yellow Turban Warrior was sacrificed by evil spirits and was extremely spiteful during his lifetime. Of course he knew how to make a living creature die with hatred and viciousness.
After a while, the sound of hooked knives scraping bones and sharp blades slicing flesh could be heard in the cave. Centipedes screamed, and their wails continued to be heard outside the cave.
"There is no hell in this world. No one can repay you for your evil deeds. Torturing you is considered punishment... Anyway, you won't really die..." Liu Qiao thought to himself.
The five hells grind away the body, and the original essence is the super-shaped god.
There is an immortal technique in later generations, which is to torture the body and suffer to death in order to atone for the sins committed during life, and with a sense of resentment, the soul can remain and turn into a ghost-like immortal.
It is somewhat similar to this technique. It saves a lot of hard work and accumulation, and can directly achieve a transcendent form in one step.
This kind of immortal can also be regarded as a kind of ghost immortal Taoist fruit. The ghost immortal is Liu Qiao's current state of Yin Shen.
If Liu Qiao dies now and is not on the list of gods, he can be freed and become a ghost and immortal, staying in the world for a hundred years, or he can be reincarnated directly.
The reason why the centipede is said to be blessed is because Liu Qiao has practiced hard for many years, added water and fire, and spent a lot of energy to cultivate into the Yin Shen.
And the centipede took cinnabar to nourish its spirit, and it only had to suffer a lot of physical pain to escape from the Yin God.
For someone who has not yet refined a magic spirit, this is a step to the sky.
Those who are detached in the yin and whose will remains unchanged may be called immortals, but they are actually ghosts.
It's just that compared to ghosts who are full of resentment and have no consciousness of their own.
Guixian is a ghost of Qingming, possessing the magic power of a fierce ghost, but also has the morals and thoughts of a living person.
The screams in the cave continued for several days and nights, and the centipede spirit was subjected to various tortures including being tortured, being cooked with oil, and being burned with fire.
Until this time, there was no sound in the cave. Liu Qiaofu sat in front of the cave, closing his eyes and saying nothing.
"Dharma Master, that little demon can't stand it anymore and is about to lose his temper..." The Yellow Turban Warrior came to report.
Liu Qiao walked into the cave, dragging his fly whisk and holding the pen, ink and cinnabar he had prepared in his hand.
The ground was littered with mutilated limbs, minced meat, green and black blood stains everywhere, and the body of the centipede, which was over ten feet long, was gone.
The biggest one was a huge head, lying on the ground, dying, with a look of malice in its godless eyes.
Liu Qiao didn't care, and said with his palms: "Now that all your sins are gone, you can transcend!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all that was left in the centipede's head was that the pair of narrow eyes lost their last trace of vitality.
Liu Qiao's face was solemn, and he quickly sat down on the ground, moved his lips slightly, and read out bursts of difficult to pronounce and obscure mantras.
As Chisuo chanted the mantra, little black smoke floated up from the centipede's broken body, and traces of black air fell down. In the end, only a pure spiritual light gathered.
"Om!" Liu Qiao opened his eyes hurriedly, recited the Om mantra, and keeping his spiritual light steady, the pen in his hand moved like a dragon and a snake, and a spell was quickly drawn.
Taking that spiritual light into the talisman, the cinnabar divine light on the talisman flashes like a touch of blood.
The atmosphere in the cave was strange and dark. A Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged, chanting mantras and drawing talismans.
Not long after, Liu Qiao stopped his pen and drew twenty-one talismans. He stood up and said: "Ashes return to dust, soil returns to soil. Now this work is about to be completed. There is only one last step left..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He also ordered the Yellow Turban Warriors to collect the centipede essence and the remaining slough, open the furnace, and burn them all into the furnace.
The immortal corpse is not simply taken out of the soul.
Instead, various means are used to take away the essence of the physical body. Soon, the physical body will naturally disappear. This is "feathering and ascension"
The last step of this skill is also the same, using the talisman to capture the aura and refine the spell, and then use the remaining essence of the body to refine the spell.
…
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed. During the day, Liu Qiao chanted the secret mantra, set fire to burn centipede remains to refine their essence, and at night, when no one was around, he swallowed three talismans.
Along with this process, I only feel a red energy gradually developed. This energy seems to be inside the body, like magic power, but also seems to be somewhere outside the body.
As the essence of the centipede's slough is sacrificed, more and more talismans are refined, and this energy becomes stronger and stronger.
On the night of the seventh day, at the third watch, Liu Qiao was deep in the mountains, swallowed the last spell, and closed his eyes to sense it.
After a while, I opened my eyes, and a red light flashed in them, like a bright light in the dark night.
"It's done..." Liu Qiao stood up and said calmly.
Chanting the mantra, the red energy was mobilized, and he twisted his fingers.
The outside world only saw a ray of red light rising from Liu Qiao's fingertips, and his whiskers were about ten feet long in an instant.
It turns into a centipede shape, which seems virtual and real, flying with its hundred legs, soaring into the clouds and riding on the mist.
"Let's give it a try..." Liu Qiao thought to himself.
Wherever the thought occurred, there was a flash of red light, and in a moment a giant centipede appeared dozens of feet tall, as big as a flying dragon and as fast as lightning.
I nibbled lightly on the cliff, and it clicked like biting tofu, then I bit off half of the cliff and put it into my belly.
Liu Qiao changed the spell again, and the red dragon's beard, which was dozens of feet tall, shrank in an instant and became the size of a finger, a red light flying all over the sky.
Sometimes it turns into a red line, sometimes it turns into a red light, like a flying sword. It is as big and small as you want and disappears as you please.
"Okay! This secret technique is more mysterious than I thought. The most important thing is that you don't have to consume mana anymore..." Liu Qiao said with a little joy.
It is indeed worthy of being called a secret technique. In this world, those who can be called secret techniques are all fierce and unparalleled, and they can be strong for a while.
Looking at the two secret arts that Liu Qiao acquired, one is Tian Gang Qi and the other is Chi Suo. In terms of power and mystery, they are not inferior to Taoism, and their cultivation is not as complicated and obscure as Taoism.
Moreover, the secret technique does not require magic power to perform. According to Yang Jian, his method of Nine Transformations Yuan Gong is also a type of secret technique.
