In Kuishan, there are only two masters and apprentices in the thatched cottage.
Liu Qiao was holding tea and whispered: "Are these five demons trustworthy?"
"Don't worry, Master."
Chang Long picked up the tea, took a sip first, and then said: "Although they are demonic figures and all practice evil methods, I have been friends with my disciples for eight times in life and death."
Seeing that Liu Qiao was noncommittal, Chang Long said again: "The leftist who robbed my cave has developed many skills now. According to my disciple, we may be able to bring these five demons with us."
The implication is that the leftist has great magical powers, and I, the five friends of life and death, can pull him to attract firepower.
"Um…"
When Liu Qiao heard this, he thought the same thing. Anyway, according to Chang Long, the spiritual roots bear a lot of fruits, and his master and disciple can only take three or five from him.
If these five demons also had merit, it would be okay for them to share the rest.
Master Liu Qiao and his disciples discussed in a low voice for a while. The great demon Gao Yi came back with a flower basket, waved his whisk in his head and said: "Immortal, please move to the cave to have a feast."
"Please..." Liu Qiao raised his hand politely.
Then several people moved behind the stream and into the mist-filled cave.
The remaining four demons were all waiting in front of the cave. They all politely declined and gave way for a moment. According to the order of seniority and youth, Liu Qiao walked forward, followed by Chang Long, and the five demons entered the cave one by one.
As soon as Fang entered, he saw a bright and empty cave in front of him, but it was a grotto hundreds of feet wide. There were claw marks on the cave wall, which were obviously dug manually by the five demons.
Every few steps on the surrounding walls, there were notches cut out, and oil lamps were placed on them. At a glance, there were hundreds of them. The lamp oil was made from an unknown object. There was no smoke, but there was a strange smell.
With the sound of gurgling spring water in my ears, there is a lotus pond under my feet. The water is milky white, with white mist coming out. Green leaves are everywhere, and there are dots of colorful lotus flowers. It is really beautiful.
There is a small arch bridge in front of it, extending in all directions, connecting the Chizhonghua Pavilion, small building, Dharma platform, etc.
"Well, the lamp oil over there is the oil extracted from the bodies of the sharks in the sea. It not only lasts for thousands of years, but also has a strange fragrance and can invigorate the spirit."
Seeing Liu Qiao looking at the lamp oil, the two demons Huang Jia came out and explained.
"I see, I'm sorry for my ignorance and ignorance, but please..." Liu Qiao suddenly nodded, and the group crossed the small bridge and arrived at the Dharma platform with an area of seven to eight feet in the center.
On the altar is a two-foot-tall statue of a demon with three heads and eight arms, a red snake around his neck, a scorpion on his feet, eight arms holding a sword with two handles, and is called Patriarch Rahu.
Although the altar had just been kept neat and spotless, as I got closer, I couldn't help but feel the smell of blood that hit my nostrils.
Obviously, these five demons are not as kind and humble as they appear to be. They practice evil methods and often sacrifice the blood of living creatures to the demons.
"It's a bit dirty over there, please don't go there, Immortal."
Seeing Liu Qiao walking ahead and rushing towards the Dharma Platform, the Five Demons hurriedly went up and stopped him with an embarrassed look on his face: "Come this way, in the Haitang Pavilion, prepare some melons and fruits."
Liu Qiao nodded apologetically and said, "I didn't know the path for a while and bumped into the altar. I hope you can forgive me."
The Five Demons led Master Liu Qiao and his apprentice to a nearby pavilion. As expected, the table had already been arranged, with melons, red fruits, wine, poria, and salvia on it.
After everyone sat down according to their order, the five demons cupped their hands and said, "That Dharma altar is used by us to practice some minor arts. It's not that we don't want the immortal to see it."
"On the one hand, it is a bit dirty, and on the other hand, it is offered to the Heavenly Demon Patriarch, who is quite efficacious in the Dharma Realm. Any thoughts may be transformed into people's hearts.
The Immortal Chief has not practiced magic, so he may be harmed by it, be lured into the devil's way, and fall into the three vehicles, but I have waited longer." The five demons apologized one after another.
Although these five demons practice evil practices, they also have good intentions and do not want a great sect to fall into a demonic disaster.
If they have darker thoughts, they can let Liu Qiao go and look under the altar, but there is a secret magic pot on the statue. If they don't understand magic and are curious, they will read it.
As soon as I look at this Dharma basket and think about it in my heart, the Patriarch of Heavenly Demons immediately responds and descends freely, manifesting in people's hearts visions of gold and silver, pearls and jade, goddesses, wonderful lands, heavenly palaces, or immortals welcoming each other.
It makes people think that they have become immortals, but in fact it is the transformation of the devil, causing the immortal family to fall into the devil's way, and teach them the secret book of the devil, which contains all kinds of wonderful spells and infinite supernatural powers.
But if you believe it, once you practice this kind of magic, you will get deeper and deeper into it, unable to extricate yourself, and directly become a human demon, thinking about collecting babies, boys and girls every day to worship the devil in exchange for higher magic.
.
So in the world of magic, as long as you are ruthless and ruthless, your magical powers can progress rapidly and become very powerful, but once a person brings out all his dark side, he is no longer the same person he was before.
In other words, there is no hope of becoming a true immortal and living as long as heaven, because there is a level of Qi Refiner, which is to refine Yin into Yang and kill the three insects and evil thoughts.
At the foot of Linyun Cliff, when Taoist Mao was about to die, he wanted to lure Liu Qiao to read the secret book of the devil, so that Liu Qiao would follow in his footsteps and end up like that in the future.
But I really didn't expect that Liu Qiao would ignore the profound secrets of the devil and study some small methods of changing foreign objects. This plan failed, and Liu Qiao developed a great magical power.
However, it is hard to say that with Taoist Mao's thoughts, he probably also thinks that someone can inherit the ancient Taoist skills that his brother has worked so hard to study.
It all depends on Liu Qiao's will, whether he will fall into the devil's path or stick to the right path.
"I have always heard that the Immortal Family of Yuxu and Biyou has the Three Refugees and Five Precepts, and does not eat onions, garlic, or meat, so we specially prepared the Four Evergreen Treasures for the Immortal to enjoy." Gao Yi said with a smile.
What are the four general ones? They sound simple and ordinary.
To eat Qi, use hazelnuts, pine nuts, torreya nuts, and walnuts. These are the four treasures for hermit cultivation.
Southeast tangerine, sleeve, bayberry, and plum are used to maintain health at home.
Northwest Linqiao, pear, jujube, and osmanthus, these are the four treasures of nourishing prosperity.
There are also polygonatum, poria, kudzu root, and salvia miltiorrhiza, which are the four life-extending treasures.
These objects cannot directly increase mana, nor can they cultivate Tao Qi, but if a person wants to transcend the world, he can hide in the valley.
According to the "Huangdi Neijing", controlling emotions and taking something according to the four seasons, such as that month and that time, is the art of taking food.
It can maintain a fresh air and cannot cast magical powers, but it can live a long life. Hundreds of years later, a man named Peng Zu used this method and lived for eight hundred years.
Liu Qiao peeled a few pine nuts, tasted the tangerines, and said with a smile: "These fellow Taoists are really thoughtful."
While winking at Chang Long.
Chang Long understood the idea and said: "Brothers, my master and I came to the East China Sea for no other reason than to have an opportunity. I need to find some brothers to investigate."
"Opportunity?"
When the five demons heard this, their eyes lit up and they looked at each other. They all stopped their chopsticks and asked in unison: "What is this opportunity?"
"Seven hundred years ago, I was a water anaconda in a stream. I went to catch cuckoos on the water while playing. The pair of birds stopped on the treetops. I went to bite them because I didn't want to eat a fruit by mistake. From then on, my life began
spirit…"
Chang Long said: "I later learned that this thing is a spiritual root. It receives the beauty of heaven and earth and bears fruits to reward those birds, badgers and musk deer.
After I attained the Dao, I cultivated the fruit tree to repay the kindness of attaining the Dao. I also wanted to wait for the fruit to bear again and offer it to Penglai Biyou Palace in exchange for the true fruit of Jie Jiao."
The five demons' eyes flashed when they heard this. They have been practicing for thousands of years and have exhausted magic, sorcery, and all kinds of life-extending means. They will not be able to escape the disaster of running out of life for another hundred years at most.
If you have spiritual roots, you can extend your life span and avoid hundreds of years of hard training, and you may have a chance to become an immortal in the future.
They couldn't hold it back anymore and asked one after another: "Why didn't you tell me before, dear brother, you still have such good fortune, can you share it with your brothers?"
"Sigh... If the treasure is still in my hands, my brothers will naturally be part of it."
Chang Long pretended to beat his chest and stamped his feet and said: "It's a pity that I have such a chance. I always wanted to wait until the fruit is ripe before telling my brothers a surprise that will extend your life... It's a pity..."
"What's the pity?" The second demon Huang Jia was the most irritable. After hearing this, he jumped several feet, crossed the table, grabbed Chang Long's arm and said: "But what's the problem? Do you want brothers to help you?"
The three demons Gouzhang also said proudly: "Dear brother, in recent years, brothers have become the ancestors of the demons and have developed many methods. Don't be afraid! But if you have any difficulties, just ask them!"
"Yes! My dear brother, just tell me, even in the Nine Heavenly Palace, we have the means, so just try it!" The Fourth Demon Chen Feng said arrogantly.
Liu Qiao held the cup and looked at these scattered people, smiling without saying a word.
As the love has arrived, feel free to mention it if you have anything to do, but it’s just a matter of caring about the treasure.
If he really had such feelings, Chang Long would have been chased by others and he would have gone to the Central Plains. Wouldn't these "brothers" stand up for him?
"Huh, this treasure is called osmanthus jade seed. If the year is good, it will only bear twenty-eight fruits in only three hundred and sixty years.
Once you smell it, your whole body will be clear. If you eat one, you can save a lot of energy in refining your Qi!
If mortals eat it, they can live for a hundred and two years. If we eat it, we can increase our merits and extend our lives for hundreds of years..." Chang Long didn't say anything else, he just kept bragging about this treasure to the five demons.
Hearing this made the five demons feel itchy in their hearts, and their eyes all gleamed.
In addition, the wine was intoxicating, and everyone's face turned red. They rolled up their sleeves one after another, committing greed and anger. If the treasure was in front of them, they would want to punch a hole in the sky.
