Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty-First The Ascetic Who Entered the Evil Dao
I didn't see Jiheiro and the others during dinner. When I asked about them, he said that they had gone down the mountain. Shi Zhong thought it would be a good idea to save them from causing trouble in the Taoist temple.
At night, in the room, Shi Zhong was holding the mudras of cultivation, practicing Qi and meditating. His chest was rising and falling slightly, but the Tao power in his body was rolling like a flood that burst a bank. When the boiling Tao power returned to calm again, Shi Zhong was surprised to find that
However, I have improved a lot in my cultivation. I took two steps in a row and reached level 36 in the middle stage of foundation building. I think I have found some motivation for the boring life of alchemy.
In the next two days, apart from eating, Shi Zhong stayed in the cave, just to refine the medicinal materials. The refining of the following medicinal materials was a bit difficult, and he failed several times, which wasted a lot of time.
On the third day, Shi Zhong took out a big breath and saw sixty porcelain bottles densely packed together. Shi Zhong felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. How many ascetics in ancient times could do this!
Close your eyes and hold the practice mudra to restore the depleted Tao Qi in your body. The countless depletion of Tao Qi has greatly affected your practice, but the soreness in your meridians is extremely uncomfortable.
An hour later, Shi Zhong opened his eyes and regained his spirit. He was surprised to find that the bottleneck he had just broken through in his body was actually a little loose again. The 37th level in the middle stage of foundation building was waiting for him.
Shi Zhong followed the order of the prescription, picked up a porcelain bottle, flicked his finger, and a wisp of white powder shot into the medicine cauldron. Then he changed another porcelain bottle, opened the stopper, and used one hand to draw out three drops of green liquid.
Put it into the medicine cauldron.
Next, Shi Zhong did not put in the medicinal powder again, but controlled the fire with his mind.
The green liquid entered the copper tripod, wrapped the white powder, and rolled in the flames. Then, as the flame temperature increased, the two gradually merged into a light green viscous liquid.
Soon, under the continuous burning of the flames, the viscous liquid gradually turned into a dark gray paste. Then, Shi Zhong picked up a porcelain bottle again and poured in medicinal powder or liquid.
In this way, following the order on the prescription, it took three hours for Shi Zhong to put all the medicines in the 60 porcelain bottles into the medicine cauldron, carefully convert the blazing white elixir fire into an ordinary orange-red flame through his mind, and warm it with a gentle fire.
With.
Shi Zhong slapped the copper cauldron several times with his palm. As his palm came into contact with the copper cauldron, a stream of vitality was input into it by Shi Zhong and became the nutrients of the flame, keeping the flame from extinguishing.
If you don't know how to control fire, you will have to hire a Taoist boy to carefully guard in front of the alchemy furnace. The premise is that the Taoist boy must also know a little about alchemy, otherwise it will be a black eye.
If you want these 60 kinds of medicinal powers to be completely integrated with each other, you not only need to carefully warm them over a slow fire, but also need a final forced fusion. However, just smoking over a slow fire will take more than ten days.
In the next few days, Shi Zhong came to check once a day, instilling a certain amount of vitality into the bronze tripod. Then he either discussed Taoism with Yi Chenzi or discussed Buddhism with Zen Master Da Kong. In addition to practicing, he also had discussions with Black and White Whirlwind Manshan.
run.
After seven days, Shi Zhong had made a lot of money on Buddhism. He had to sigh at the rich theoretical knowledge of the two old guys. In the back mountain, Shi Zhong also found more than 30 century-old trees. Fortunately, he saw them in Yichen.
Zi's face did not kill them all, but only absorbed half of the ancient tree's life essence.
The 12 original acupuncture points of the human body constitute the six life meridians. Shi Zhong has deified two meridians and obtained a large amount of life energy, allowing his body to withstand the consumption of spiritual practice. Now, the third one has begun to be stored.
Based on the previous two experiences, Shi Zhong roughly estimated that if one meridian is to be fully stored, it will require about 8 thousand-year-old trees, and the life essence contained in a thousand-year-old tree is 50 times that of a century-old tree.
times. Of course, there are special cases in specific situations. Some thousand-year-old trees have become dilapidated and withered, so it is impossible to contain the life essence equivalent to 50 century-old trees.
Half of the more than 30 century-old trees, plus a few of them are two hundred years old, Shi Zhong's life meridians store an amount of life energy that is almost equivalent to 20 trees. Compared with the mission of 400 trees, it is only a drop in the bucket.
"Well, absorbing the life essence of a century-old tree is a bit cumbersome. It would be great if we could directly absorb the life essence of a thousand-year-old tree. However, it is difficult to find a thousand-year-old tree. In this era, how can there be so many thousand-year-old trees?
It's already three to four hundred years old. It's already very impressive. Do you want to go to the virgin forest yourself?" Shi Zhong muttered while walking in the back mountain.
Suddenly, two angry roars came from my ears, one was high and the other was low. I recovered my senses and hurried forward five meters at a time. I saw the black and white whirlwind roaring anxiously, and there was a scar on the white whirlwind's forelimb.
, flowing with blood.
Shi Zhong was surprised, and quickly bent down to pick up Bai Xuanfeng, caressing its back to calm it down, and then passed wisps of life energy through his palms to repair the wounds on its forelimbs.
"Woo"
Bai Xuanfeng opened his mouth and licked Shi Zhong's hand.
As the life energy circulated on the wound, Bai Xuanfeng's wound slowly healed. After a while, the scab formed and then fell off, leaving a faint scar submerged under the white hair.
Putting down the white whirlwind, he looked down the hillside towards the dense forest in the distance. A look of solemnity appeared on his face. Just when he was using his life energy to repair the wounds of the white whirlwind, he was actually blocked by a strange energy. That strange energy
The power is entrenched in the wound and constantly destroying the flesh and blood tissue.
Eerie, bloodthirsty, weird!
This is Shi Zhong's definition of that power. However, what makes Shi Zhong confused is that this power actually gives him a vaguely familiar aura. Could it be one of his enemies? The people from Ziyang Palace are chasing him.
Are we here? But why does he want to persecute Bai Xuanfeng? Is it possible that he just wants to be sad for a while?
Shi Zhong shook his head, said hello, and led the two guys back. Be careful these days!
After returning home, it was time to discuss Taoism with Yichenzi. However, Yichenzi broke the appointment. When Shi Zhong asked one of the Taoist priests about it, he was told that something had happened and two tourists died there.
After arriving at Sanqing Mountain, Yichenzi went to check it out.
Out of curiosity, Shi Zhong asked for the specific address. When he learned that the body had not been moved and was waiting for the police to arrive to deal with it, Shi Zhong led Black and White Tornado there.
The two dogs were very fast and could keep up with the pace of the stone clock. One black and one white ran quickly on the stone stairs.
Sure enough, we were in a spacious place, surrounded by several circles of people inside and outside. The noise was endless, and they were all pointing and talking. It was so crowded that it was not easy to get in.
The black whirlwind was really powerful. The roar frightened many people, and they all ran away in panic. Then, like a victorious king, the black whirlwind turned around and shouted at the stone bell, and then swaggeringly raised its limbs to lead the way.
"Whose dog is this?"
"Holy crap, you just scared me. Is this the guy?"
"**, you made me angry and punched it to death!"
Many people were dissatisfied, but no one dared to step forward to drive away the black whirlwind. With its size, everyone was really afraid that it would show its bestiality and bite them.
Ignoring other people's pointing, Shi Zhong walked over with Bai Xuanfeng, saw Yi Chenzi, and also saw the two corpses on the ground. Their faces were blue, which was very scary. Shi Zhong wanted to walk over,
But he was stopped by someone: "Young man, don't come close!"
Several employees of the Sanqingshan Management Committee were at the scene to maintain order. When Yichenzi heard the sound of dogs barking, he turned around, saw Shi Zhong, and said: "This donor, he is Pindao's junior brother, and he also knows a little about medicine.
You can also ask him to come over and take a look!"
The man didn't stop him, he just looked at Shi Zhong suspiciously. This guy is the junior brother of the master Yichenzi? When did monks also like to talk nonsense?
"Taoist Priest, what was the cause of this man's death? It should have nothing to do with our Sanqing Mountain, right? It couldn't be food poisoning, right?" A middle-aged fat man looked at Yichenzi nervously.
"Director Shi, Pindao can't find out the cause of death, but it's probably not food poisoning. Don't worry, Director Shi!" Yichenzi said, but his brows were furrowed, staring at the two corpses on the ground and not knowing what he was thinking.
.
Shi Zhong looked at it for a while and frowned, but he felt a familiar aura. It was eerie, strange, and cold. It was exactly the same as the aura on Bai Xuanfeng's wound.
Not long after, the police and doctors from the local police station came to take over. As Yichenzi returned to the Taoist temple, on the way, Yichenzi said: "Junior brother, do you feel that something is wrong? The old Taoist always feels that it is not as the two doctors said.
It’s said to be caused by asthma!”
Shi Zhong nodded and talked about Bai Xuanfeng being attacked by strangers in the back mountain today. Yichenzi was surprised: "Is there such a thing? No tourists have ever been to the back mountain, and there are iron fences blocking both sides.
!”
"I'm afraid they are not ordinary tourists, but uninvited guests have come to Sanqing Mountain!" Shi Zhong said with narrowed eyes.
"Junior brother means"
"Brother, those two people died after their energy was sucked out. Moreover, I saw that their arms were thicker than ordinary people's, and their hands were mostly calloused. They were either fitness instructors or practicing Taekwondo. Didn't the police just say that
Well, these two people don’t know each other, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are full of energy and blood and are much stronger than ordinary people!" Shi Zhong finished in one breath.
"All the essence is lost? Is it the work of Taoist cultivators?" Yichenzi asked in shock, with a strange expression on his face. Of course he knew why Taoist cultivators would absorb people's essence, just to enlarge their body's vitality for supply.
The improvement of realm.
Shi Zhong nodded: "I'm afraid yes, and the person's cultivation is at least successful in building foundation?"
"Succeeded in establishing the foundation?" Yichenzi couldn't help but be moved. A cultivator of this level has evil intentions, which is a disaster for one party. It would be fine if that person did not practice martial arts, but if he practiced martial arts, it would be extremely difficult to eradicate him.
Has strong attack power.
Shi Zhong lowered his head and thought, if that person was proficient in martial arts, he would definitely be much stronger than Wen Yu. Wen Yu was far from the foundation stage and could have such terrifying combat power, all thanks to the exquisiteness of martial arts. However, it is impossible for a cultivator to be proficient in martial arts.
It's very small. How can a person have so much energy? Moreover, after successfully building the foundation, those who give up on practicing Taoism will further turn to practicing martial arts. Shi Zhong believes that there are no such stupid people in the world! (To be continued. If you like this
