Lu Cheng stepped forward and asked: "Excuse me, master, what does Longjietang mean?"
The old man replied: "The weather is twenty-four, the earth's energy is twenty-four, and the popularity is twenty-four. Influence the world and people, and practice the way of witchcraft.
Twenty-four, there are twenty-four solar terms in the sky, twenty-four mountain directions in the earth, twenty-four vertebrae, twenty-four ribs and twenty-four meridians in the human body."
Lu Cheng listened attentively for a moment, feeling quite touched in his heart.
What the old man meant was that there are seven cervical vertebrae, twelve thoracic vertebrae, and five lumbar vertebrae, totaling twenty-four, which exactly correspond to the twenty-four solar terms. This coincidence reflects the man-made microcosm.
The view that heaven and earth are the universe. Each vertebrae corresponds to a solar term. Moreover, at the moment of the twenty-four solar terms, it is the moment when heaven and earth are in harmony, and many wonderful changes may occur in the universe.
The entire vertebrae is called the "Big Dragon", and the 24 vertebrae coincide with the twenty-four solar terms, so there is "Dragon Festival Hall".
"Longjietang" has a set of training skills, and you also need to pay jade coins to learn them.
Lu Cheng already has a catalog of stone tombs. The "Seven Forms of the Black Bird" and the "Twelve Forms of the Phoenix" recorded in it are all the mental methods of the Witch King and the Witch Emperor, so he does not want to learn the "Long Jie Tang" method for the time being.
Jue, and there is another reason. He has just paid a lot of jade coins. If he takes out a large amount of jade coins, it may attract the attention of some people.
Therefore, he left the Witch Temple and returned to his cave.
When he walked into the cave, Qingmei came up to him with a smile and said: "Brother, I showed the dragon leather coat to Li Ju and Jiong Sheng. They both said it was a treasure. Li Ju offered a higher price for a dragon leather coat.
Leather clothes can be exchanged for 3,000 jade coins."
Lu Cheng was a little surprised: "Such a high price? The raw material, Chilong Skin, was obtained from her."
"Liju said that although the chilong skin she gave us was dried, it became very hard and had a fishy smell. Someone once tried to use rabbit brain, rat brain, and pig brain to tan the dragon skin.
However, they all failed in the end. She is very interested in your method of tanning dragon skin."
Lu Cheng said: "The tanning method is a secret that is not taught!"
When he handed over the dragon skin to the Suzhou Fur Crafts Factory, the old master Chen Heng used "chrome tanning" at the beginning, but the effect was not very good. Later, he tried a variety of methods, including aldehyde tanning, oil tanning, aluminum tanning, and zirconium tanning.
Alum tanning, it took a lot of effort to tan it. This process is too complicated!
Qingmei said: "Liju wants to buy 10 dragon skin clothes, and she can also purchase similar dragon skins from other cities, and wants to give them to you for tanning. If you want any rare items, she will try her best to help you
Get it."
Lu Cheng asked: "Is Liju that capable?"
"Her skills are not weak, she is a level 7 spiritual warrior. Moreover, our fox clan is interconnected and has connections all over the place."
"That should not be underestimated."
"Brother, this time Liju gave me three pieces of the skin of the exotic beast Si, saying that it is similar to cowhide, but many times tougher than cowhide and as difficult to tan as dragon skin. In addition, she also gave me a piece of Emperor Junzhu's bamboo.
Whip, she said that if you bury it in the soil, it will grow new bamboo, and if you cut off a section, it can be used as a boat. Besides, she wanted to give me jade coins, but I didn’t ask for them."
Lu Cheng praised: "Okay! I need some bear bile. Please ask her to get a few for me."
"Brother, what kind of bear bile do you want? Bear bile that is less than a hundred years old, bear bile that is three hundred years old, bear bile that is five hundred years old?"
"It doesn't need to be more than 300 years old, just ordinary bear bile."
Because this is for mortals to treat illnesses. If it is a bear that is three hundred years old, it has most likely become a demon, and its bile is not something mortals can eat.
For the next ten days or so, Lu Cheng stayed in the cave.
Qingmei went in and out, bringing more than a dozen pieces of bear bile. According to her, these bear biles were very cheap, and they would not cost more than 200 jade coins in total.
The beginning of spring has arrived in a blink of an eye.
Lu Cheng went to Wu Luo's courtyard and followed several senior sisters and brothers to attend the annual banquet of Wu Luo.
He walked into Witch Castle for the first time and saw many people.
The Witch Castle is not a building, but a castle. It is made of accumulated stones and built on the mountain. The terrain is dangerous, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Master Wu Sheng did not show up, but the seven great witches who were attached to him all came.
The seven great witches each sat alone, with a small table in front of them, a few feet away from each other. They did not look very united. Two had straight faces, two frowned, and two had their heads lowered. Only
Wu Luo is smiling all by herself.
In addition, there were dozens of little witches and two spiritual warriors present. As for those innate-level warriors, they could only have dinner together in other rooms.
There is a large table in the center, filled with roasted monster meat.
Lu Cheng received a gourd of "three-fruit wine" and took a piece of "monster meat" weighing about half a kilogram from the table, which was said to be the cub of "Fat Yi".
Fat Yi is a snake with one head and two bodies. Wherever it appears, severe drought will occur.
This is a high-level exotic beast, tens of feet long, which cannot be dealt with by ordinary spirit warriors. This young beast was killed by Master Wu Sheng by chance and brought back for everyone to enjoy.
Lu Cheng slowly ate the spiritual meat, drank the spiritual wine, and looked at the great witches.
Wu Luo chuckled and said, "Brothers, the New Year is here. Have you collected enough talismans, elixirs and talismans?"
Apart from her, the remaining six great witches are all male. These people have unswerving expressions and seem to have failed to complete their mission.
A great wizard with gray beard snorted: "What? Are you so lucky? In just one year, you drew two thousand talismans, made 5,000 blank talisman papers, and refined 6,000 pills?" p>
Wu Luo smiled and said: "Brother Wu Jing, I got it done by luck!"
"How did you do it?"
"Giggle, I have been blessed by the Witch God!"
"So, my lord is going to reward you with a Spiritual Witch Pill and a Millennium Demon Pill?"
"It depends on the adults' wishes."
Another person looked younger. He raised his head and took a sip of wine. He looked at Wu Luo and said coldly: "I heard that the Ling Wu Pill can greatly improve the power and is most suitable for Ling Wu. However, for great witches, it is difficult to take it."
, but there is great danger. Wu Luo, don’t be too happy too early.”
Wu Luo said: "Haha, brother Wu Xiong, you are jealous of me!"
"Hmph, there's nothing to be jealous about. You haven't gotten the Spirit Witch Pill yet. Maybe I accidentally ate all the refined Spirit Witch Pills, and then your hopes will be completely dashed!"
"Ha, if that's the case, the adults will have ways to compensate."
Some of the other great witches looked at them coldly, some drank expressionlessly, and some ate monster meat like crazy.
Lu Cheng looked at the little witches. There were about thirty or so little witches in total. It seemed that every big witch accepted little witches as apprentices, with an average of four or five disciples for each big witch.
Most of these little witches are over twenty years old, and some are even fifty or sixty years old. Lu Cheng is the youngest among them, so he looks quite eye-catching.
He noticed that several great witches looked over with sharp eyes from time to time.
Logically speaking, Wu Luo benefited from Lu Cheng's contribution to collect enough talisman papers and talismans. At this time, she should come out and say something: "This is my new disciple. I am very satisfied with this disciple." However, she said
No words were spoken, and he didn't even look at Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng thought to himself: "It's only right that she doesn't look at me. If she looks at me twice more, it will attract the attention of those powerful witches, and they may even want to harm others."
He was afraid of these powerful witches.
Although his real strength is also at the "great wizard level" and the number of talismans he masters is not lower than these people, he can recite very few spells and can draw relatively few talismans. The key is that his skill is insufficient and he is still in the
The third level of innateness, and most of these people are at the fifth or sixth level of innateness.
His body is too young. "Wu Kuang" is only fourteen years old, and his time to learn witchcraft is too short. In addition, he is new here and is not suitable for making a name for himself, so he did not try to take the "Great Witch Gold Medal" in the Witch Temple. p>
As a little witch, he can still get guidance and support from Wu Luo. If he suddenly becomes a big witch, even Wu Luo might roll his eyes and think of ways to suppress him.
