Chapter one hundred and sixty-two rare goods can live, sacrifices are coming
Xu Dao stared at Su Jiu. Although his face didn't change much, his heart was churning.
He walked forward calmly, put his hand on Su Jiu's shoulder, input his true energy, and thoroughly inspected Su Jiu's body bones. He found that the other party had really reached the realm of body refining, and his energy and blood had begun to refine his whole body.
of skin membrane.
In just one night's work, Su Jiu actually broke through the fetal breath and was promoted to body refining. Moreover, the benefits gained from the opponent's breakthrough have not disappeared. With every breath, his energy and blood are constantly tempering his body, making it more powerful.
Tenacity.
For a moment, Xu Dao felt emotional and had to admit that Su Jiu's talent was far better than his, and he was a genius.
"She has only practiced Taoism for less than half a year. Although I have given her a lot of help, including talismans, money, and spiritual liquid, her qualifications for being able to enter Taoism in such a short period of time are already rare in the world, even first-rate."
In fact, the reason why Su Jiu was able to break through to the realm of body refining in such a short period of time, in addition to her own qualifications and Xu Dao's training, was also related to the fact that she was abducted by Miao Nu last time.
During the more than ten days of being kidnapped, Su Jiu was tortured both physically and mentally, but the tempering was not small for her character. Then she received a lot of blood honey as a reward, and she made rapid progress during the time she was recovering from her injuries.
Until he broke through the barrier overnight, breathed his true energy into his body, and became a Taoist disciple.
The old swordsman next to him also raised his hand and congratulated: "Congratulations to Jiu'er! Jiu'er is really amazing!"
Su Jiu returned: "Sha Laomiao praised it."
"It's not Miuzan. You can break through to the realm of body refining in such a short period of time. You are much better than me."
Xu Dao stood aside and spoke with a smile, and sighed softly: "Maybe in a few years, you will catch up with me, and then I will have to rely on you to support me."
The little fox girl received many compliments, her eyes were full of joy, but she still had a sullen face and said seriously: "Jiu'er doesn't dare, sir, don't make fun of Jiu'er."
"Hahaha!" Xu Dao smiled and rubbed her little head, and said: "We have just made a breakthrough. Now is the time to work hard and gain insights. The secret room is yours to use these days. Don't waste the opportunity. Now
Just go into retreat!”
"Yes, sir!" Su Jiu nodded obediently. She bowed to Xu Dao. When Xu Dao waved his hand to her and urged her, she bowed to the old swordsman and then walked towards the secret room.
But at this moment, Xu Dao suddenly stopped her: "Put this thing away. During the retreat, my body is exhausted from the hard work, so I will play with this whip. Time is tight, so don't sleep for the next few days."
I saw Xu Dao take out a long black whip covered with spikes like thorns from the earthworm flag.
Su Jiu recognized this object as an object used by Miao Nu, a magical weapon. She immediately exclaimed: "Magical weapon!"
Xu Dao returned: "Exactly, you also know the origin of this thing. Once you have mastered it, don't use it easily in front of outsiders. It is only used for self-defense at first."
Su Jiu is no longer the ignorant little maid she used to be. Although she has not been to the ghost market and has not come into contact with other Taoist practitioners, based on Xu Dao's words and deeds, as well as the one or two Taoist books she has read, her influence on wealthy couples
We know a lot about the four Dharma and Grounds.
Naturally, she is also aware of the importance and expensiveness of magical artifacts.
Su Jiu's eyes were once again pleasantly surprised, but when she looked at the long whip in Xu Dao's hand, she hesitated again and said, "Master, this magical weapon is too precious, Xiao Jiu is not worth it..."
"Take it as long as you are told, just don't sell it to me secretly." Xu Dao shouted softly, and Su Jiu just boldly accepted the long whip weapon.
After feeling grateful again, and with Xu Dao's wave of his hand, Su Jiu completely stepped into the secret room and began his retreat practice.
Xu Dao and the swordsman stood in front of the secret room, looking at the door slowly closing, their eyes still filled with emotion.
Xu Dao was lamenting that he saved a piece of talented jade with his casual rescue, while the swordsman was lamenting that Su Jiu was a weak and weak maid at the beginning, but now he has become a real immortal master, and even
Even he himself had the opportunity to become an immortal master.
Then something surprising happened to the swordsman.
Xu Dao withdrew his gaze and took out a silk book from his sleeve. There were talismans drawn on it and the five characters "Niuhu Skin Refining Technique" were written on it.
This booklet contains the skills for the realm of skin refining. It is a martial arts technique that Xu Dao created based on a skin refining technique, adding, deleting, and simplifying it. It is not exquisite, but it is enough for a Taoist child to enter the Tao.
purpose.
The book is not the original one, but it is mixed with the visualization diagrams, spells, and external insights drawn by Xu Dao. It is compiled into a book for the convenience of teaching to others, so there is no need for Xu Dao to teach it himself.
"After changing to the bloodline of the demon dog, although a hundred days have not passed yet, your bones have been initially established, your energy is full, and you can practice martial arts. After you take this method back, you will be able to understand it. If you don't understand anything, you can ask for advice.
I, after Su Jiu comes out of confinement, you can also ask her for advice."
The swordsman stared blankly at the thin book in Xu Dao's hand, and his face immediately showed great joy. He immediately knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands towards Xu Dao, and called out: "Thank you very much, Master for giving me the Dharma. I will remember it in my heart and will definitely work harder."
Practice and live up to your kindness!"
After the swordsman obtained the secret medicine from Xu Dao and replaced the root bone, he vaguely guessed that one day he would be taught by Xu Dao, but he didn't know how long it would take for this day to come, and he felt that he had no idea.
I dare not ask Xu Dao for credit.
Unexpectedly, just over a month later, Xu Dao taught him the technique and wanted to convert him into Taoism. This really surprised the swordsman.
After swearing again, the swordsman's face turned red with excitement, and he looked longingly at the book in Xu Dao's hand.
"Good!" A smile appeared on Xu Dao's face. He encouraged him a few words, then handed the booklet in his hand to the swordsman, and casually gave out a few talisman coins for the swordsman to use for his practice.
After sending the swordsman back to his room to meditate on the technique, Xu Dao stood alone in the courtyard, looking at the white clouds and dogs in the sky, and thought silently.
The reason why I wanted to reward Su Jiu with Miao Nu's magical weapon just now was naturally because this girl was very talented and had broken through to the realm of body refining, so she needed to be rewarded and win over.
On the one hand, he taught the swordsman the skills because he didn't want to favor one over the other. On the other hand, Xu Dao had already prepared the skills he wanted to teach the swordsman, so he just took advantage of the situation.
It's just that the skills passed down to the swordsman are incomparable with Su Jiu's. The former's "Niuhu Skin Refining Skill" is just scraps from Xu Dao's study of martial arts, while the latter is the same martial arts that Xu Dao practices - "
"Thunder and Fire Body Training".
Xu Dao had his own considerations for this, and the main reason was naturally that the law should not be passed down lightly.
Although he is not a self-respecting Taoist, the swordsman's time with him is still short, and he has not made any achievements yet. It would be unwise to pass down the profound method.
It should be noted that if it were an ordinary Taoist, even if his servants served him carefully for ten years, he might not be able to teach him the true method of cultivation.
Xu Dao's approach is already considered a rare act of generosity. If the mortals in the world who are looking for immortals and Taoists know about it, they will definitely flock to him and willingly become slaves and maids.
Fortunately, the swordsman was also a sensible person, and the other party knew how powerful he was. He was only loyal and grateful to Xu Dao in his heart, which was worthy of Xu Dao's kindness.
As for why Su Jiu was able to obtain the "Thunder and Fire Body Training Technique" in the first place, Xu Dao did not bother to hide it, and naturally there were some thoughts hidden in it.
He walked in the courtyard and thought to himself: "I have known for a long time that the little fox lady is very talented, but I didn't expect that she would be able to enter the realm of body refining within half a year, and her talent would be so good."
In the White Bone Temple, young girls who get started and are taught the techniques are considered qualified if they can be promoted to the realm of Qi refining or body refining within three years. Anyone who can advance, even if it is only half a year, is a person with good qualifications.
Thinking about it, Xu Dao's thoughts jumped, and he suddenly felt that Su Jiu was a rare person. He thought in his heart:
"I'm afraid it's a waste for this girl to stay with me. With her qualifications, I'm afraid even the likes of Erhai Dao Palace can directly join her... It just so happens that she practices the outer sect skills of Erhai Dao Palace."
After some calculations in his mind, Xu Dao lowered his eyes.
He is not too precious about martial arts books, and naturally he will not drag down his servants, Taoists. Instead, he hopes that each of them will have a bright future and will be able to help him or even support him when the time comes.
The little fox girl Su Jiu fits this point very well.
Xu Dao thought quietly in his heart:
"Although the grace of saving lives and teaching the Dharma is great, it can only leave a feeling of gratitude. If you want to make people unforgettable, they need to be remembered both physically and mentally. Especially for young people, otherwise time will pass.
Over time, the love will fade..."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Now that you have the idea of finding a rare commodity to live in, it's best to imitate the methods of Father Lu in the Qin Dynasty, and think about it first, maybe it will come in handy one day.
Of course, it doesn’t have to be applied completely.
………………
A few days flew by.
During these days, Su Jiu and Swordsman were busy, but Xu Dao himself had nothing to do except occasionally remind Swordsman, so he just wanted to take a rest and relax.
Within a few days, he disguised himself and wandered alone in the mountain city of Shezhao, playing tricks all day long and eating all the famous teahouses and restaurants in the mountain city. At the same time, he also discovered for himself that as the day of the sacrifice approached, the city
It was becoming more and more lively, and there were many monks like him hanging out in the mountain city.
This led to the fact that all the clerks in the small and large shops in the mountain city did not dare to neglect anyone, not even the beggars, for fear that some Taoist would play tricks and accidentally bump into the iron plate.
When Xu Dao was preparing to go alone to observe the sacrificial meeting in Shezhao, Su Jiu left seclusion on the day of June 6th.
The time she spent in seclusion was not too long, but she gained a lot. Not only did she gain a more thorough understanding of the techniques, but she also fully cultivated the long whip, the magic weapon that Xu Dao had given her, and completely grasped it in her hands.
Su Jiu followed Xu Dao and shrunk the magic weapon and placed it on her head, but instead of using it as a hairpin, she used it as a ribbon to tie her hair, wrapping her snow-like white silk.
The sacrificial meeting in Shezhao is a bit strange. It is not held during the day, but the stage is officially set up in the evening and starts at night.
When Xu Dao said that he was going to join in the fun, Su Jiu had just finished her retreat. Maybe she wanted to relax, so she begged Xu Dao to take her with him.
The old swordsman looked at the lights that started to decorate the mountain city, muttering that he was stupid and had to seize the time to understand the Dharma given by Xu Dao, so he chose to stay in the yard to look after the house.
So in the evening, Xu Dao put on a green shirt, slightly changed his appearance, and pretended to be a young man with a yellow face. Because of his religious practice, he was not very old, but at first glance, he looked kind.
Su Jiu is about the same age.
As for Su Jiu, she only used magic to dye her white hair black and cover up the fox ears on top. She also wore a green shirt and turned into a pretty little book boy.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this book boy is not a boy, but must be a woman.
Just like this, when the glow on the horizon receded, the two of them gathered their strength, walked out of the yard, and blended into the crowds of people.
Sheshan Mountain is vast, but tonight the thick smoke of smoke envelopes the entire mountain, making it look beautiful.
The city is brightly lit, the city is filled with orange, and lanterns are hung every other step on both sides of the street, forming a strip of light that gathers like a dragon.
The streets in the city are criss-crossed, one by one, like the scales on a dragon. All those who saw this scene from a high place were in a trance, as if they were in a dream.
Su Jiu and Xu Dao were no exception. One of them had never seen such a brightly lit scene before and was surprised, while the other was shocked to see such a scene again.
Xu Dao came back from his trance. He looked at the lights in the mountain city and found that they became brighter and brighter as he went to the river.
Looking from a distance, both sides of the Wuxia River are full of light, only the middle of the river is dim.
"This scene cannot be created by ordinary people, it should be arranged by the practitioners in the edict of sacrifice."
Thinking in his heart, he realized that if Shezhao wanted to hold a gathering of tens or hundreds of thousands of people at night, it would have to light up the city's lights, otherwise it would be dark at night and countless people would be trampled to death if not careful.
Xu Dao looked at the mountain scenery for a few times, then shook his sleeves and said to the book boy next to him: "Let's go."
"Yes, sir!" Shutong Su Jiu clasped her hands and followed Xu Dao curiously, walking towards the Wuxia River with the crowd.
There are not only sacrifices tonight, there are also candy sellers, silver jewelry sellers, gourd musical instruments sellers, rouge and gouache sellers, portable lantern sellers, mask sellers, as well as juggling, playing, playing and singing on the streets along the way.
The street market is like daylight, full of lights.
When the two of them walked past a vendor carrying a bamboo pole selling various masks, Su Jiu suddenly took off a white fox face mask from the bamboo pole.
The mask is made of wood, painted with white paint and red powder. It is not exquisite but quite playable. There are two animal ears cut out of fur on the top.
Su Jiu made gestures on her face and shouted to Xu Dao: "Master, look!"
The mask vendor saw this and shouted: "Both brothers, buy one, how fun it is!"
Xu Dao laughed, knocked Su Jiu's little head, and said to the hawker: "I bought it." He didn't ask the price, just threw a piece of silver over, and then he also picked the mask from the hawker's goods.
After choosing and choosing, Xu Dao chose a mask with the ghost face of an evil dragon for himself.
On the other side, Su Jiu had already put on the mask by herself. Under the white fox's face, her eyes flickered.
Xu Dao looked over and found that the two fox ears on the top of the other person's head were shaking slightly. They were not fake, as if they were greeting him.
Su Jiu suddenly became interesting and asked in a threatening tone: "Master, do you think I look like a vixen?"
She held her fingers as claws and looked up at Xu Dao. There was a fake fox ear cut out of fur hidden in one sleeve, and her neck was slightly red.
