Water Palace, the second deputy palace owner signed the pledge room.
Qi Xuansu sat behind the desk, leaning on the back of the chair, closing his eyes and relaxing.
Separated from the desk and the files stacked on the desk, there were two chairs, with Shangguan Ya and Xu Jiaorong sitting on them respectively.
As a member of the Eight Tribes, Shangguan Ya wears a lot of large and small objects on his body. He changed his hat into a cloak, which also has the effect of hiding his face. Only a shadow can be seen.
Qi Xuansu did not clarify Shangguan Ya's identity, and Xu Jiaorong was a man of seven orifices, so he did not ask further questions.
In fact, this kind of thing is not a taboo. Wu Guangbi can appear openly and openly next to Li Changge or Li Tianzhen. The key depends on whether the backstage is strong enough.
The most critical point is that when things have developed to this point, Qi Xuansu and Xu Jiaorong are already people in the same boat. When the wind and waves come together, whoever falls into the water first and who falls into the water later will not be spared. If Wang Jiaohe and Chen Shuhua overthrow Qi Xuansu,
Xu Jiaorong will definitely not be let go. The two of them must be in the same boat now. Proper disclosure of some trump cards between allies will be more conducive to stabilizing morale and popular support.
The two spiritual officials are not here because someone outside needs to take charge of the overall situation and someone needs to monitor Chen Shuhua.
Because most of the main force of the spiritual officers in the city came from the Xuanwei Division of Jiugang, the Jiayin spiritual officers were responsible for the command.
Chen Shuhua is not in the Fire Palace at this time. She has her own mansion in Shenglong Mansion. She has been living in her mansion recently. Ding Chou Lingguan is now responsible for monitoring Chen Shuhua, but Chen Shuhua stays behind closed doors, and there are people in her mansion.
Even with the formation's cover, Ding Chou Lingguan couldn't guarantee that he would be able to catch Chen Shuhua, so he could only do his best.
Qi Xuansu is still waiting for news from Qiniang.
At this moment, a child-mother talisman placed by Qi Xuansu on the table began to burn on its own, turning into a curtain of light, revealing Qiniang's figure.
The three people who had been waiting for a long time subconsciously sat upright.
Qiniang’s oppressive power.
Qi Xuansu and Shangguanya need not say more, they have become accustomed to it.
As for Xu Jiaorong, she has no interaction with Qiniang and does not know Qiniang. However, she is well-informed and knows Qiniang's details, so she naturally understands Qiniang's importance.
To be fair, Qiniang had no intention of developing in the Taoist sect. If Qiniang had been steadily climbing the ranks within the Taoist sect, she would now be one of the top Shenzhi masters in Jinque.
Qiniang was still doing nothing, and in the era of the Five Dynasties Great Masters, she would have definitely been called out and written down every day.
Neither Xu Jiaorong nor Shangguanya spoke, they both looked at Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu had no choice but to say:
"Qiniang, what are the ingredients of that elixir?"
Qiniang blew out a smoke ring leisurely, and then said, "The ingredients of this elixir are very complex. In addition to Wenyu's juice, I also found Qiongqi's blood, Feifei's blood, Lili's blood, and Xiang's blood."
Willow blood is the component of dragon blood. Although except for dragon blood, the rest of the ingredients are imitations, but in terms of quality, it is by no means comparable to ordinary products on the market. It is almost 80% as effective as the real thing. I did a rough calculation,
The cost of refining such an elixir would start at at least 30,000 Taiping, not counting the possibility of refining failure."
After all, Qi Xuansu's status was different and he was not frightened by the price. He just sighed slightly, "Chief Chen is generous, but the more she is willing to spend money, the more she has a big conspiracy."
Shangguan Ya interjected, "These ingredients remind me of the elixir of immortality from ancient witchcraft."
Qiniang said, "The ancient witchcraft's elixir of immortality is called the first-generation 'Eternal Life Stone' by the Taoist sect. The refining process is very cruel and requires the power of millions of living beings."
"So there are generally two methods. One is to win by quantity, that is, use human resources, hundreds of thousands of lives, mountains of blood and blood. The other is to win by quality, that is, use powerful ancient wild beasts as the basis.
Materials. No matter which method is used, the elixir of immortality refined will inevitably be contaminated with the remaining thoughts of these living beings."
"The reason why Yaoyao turned into a monster is because the elixir of immortality refined by the ten wizards of Lingshan contained too much wild beast aura. Although he was resurrected, his mind was also taken away."
Shangguan Ya said thoughtfully, "Warriors have a realm called the unity of spirit and body. The soul and body are integrated into one place, and the thoughts are integrated into the blood. Ancient wild beasts are similar to warriors, and their thoughts are also integrated into the blood.
Therefore, the original desolate beast blood does have this problem. It is difficult to completely purify and cannot be used directly. The desolate beast blood imitated by Daomen has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that there are no future troubles. The disadvantage is that no matter what, the imitation can only have eight successes of the real product.
."
Qi Xuansu already had some guesses after hearing this: "You mean, this elixir is a rudimentary elixir of immortality? Or is it an imitation of the elixir of immortality from ancient witchcraft?"
Qiniang gave an affirmative answer, "You can say that."
Qi Xuansu asked, "According to the information we have, this is not the first time that Chen Shuhua has given medicine to the Lord of Dayu. One pill costs 30,000 Taiping coins. If calculated based on ten pills, it is 300,000 Taiping coins."
.What is Chen Shuhua going to do?
What? Want to cultivate an immortal? The key is that the Lord of Dayu is now a useless person, where did all the medicinal power go?"
Qiniang said calmly, "The elixir of immortality has major flaws, so it is called the first-generation 'Eternal Life Stone' by the Taoist sect. You also said that this elixir can only be regarded as an imitation of the elixir of immortality, and it is a rudimentary one."
version, so the side effects of this elixir are great, including physical stiffness, stagnant Qi and blood, and distraction. The most intuitive manifestation is that the body gradually becomes rigid."
Shangguan Ya is a professional after all, and immediately understood what Qiniang wanted to express, "I know where the potency of the medicine went. This medicine is not for longevity, but for death. If you don't feed this medicine,
Medicine, then the leader of the Kingdom of Dayu has long since died, so the power of the medicine will naturally be used to make up for the shortfall."
Qiniang nodded and said, "That's right. The reason is very simple. Some people regard the Lord of Dayu as a cauldron to make elixirs. In order to ensure that the cauldron does not explode midway, they keep feeding the cauldron with imitation inferior immortality.
Medicine. Although this elixir is an imitation, it can indeed prolong life. After all, the real elixir of immortality can bring the dead back to life. As for the side effects of the elixir, it is nothing, it is just a 'cauldron' anyway."
Hearing this, Qi Xuansu and Xu Jiaorong still didn't understand that the leader of Dayu Kingdom was Chen Shuhua's "cauldron".
Why do we have to use the leader of Dayu Kingdom as the "furnace"? There is only one reason, and that is dragon energy.
The Lord of Dayu cannot control dragon energy, but he is the carrier of dragon energy.
Looking at the whole world, there are only a handful of "cauldrons" made of dragon energy. Compared with this, spending hundreds of thousands of peacetime money to maintain a "cauldron" is nothing.
Xu Jiaorong said, "If the Lord of Dayu was deeply involved in this matter from the beginning and volunteered to be the 'furnace', then why would he say that he dreamed of the ancient immortal Wu Luo?"
Qi Xuansu said, "There is nothing unimaginable. Chen Shuhua used the Lord of Dayu as a 'cauldron' to refine dragon energy. The Lord of Dayu's body could not support it, so he had to use this imitation elixir to prolong his life. However, the side effects of the elixir were too great.
It is inevitable. If the leader of the Dayu Kingdom has been bedridden, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Taoist sect. Chen Shuhua cannot cover the sky with one hand. If the Taoist sect conducts a thorough investigation, there is a possibility of being exposed. This requires a justifiable reason to cover up the past. "
"It's best to lie with nine truths and one lie. If it's all lies, you can't deceive the Taoist sect. If you want to deceive the Taoist sect, you have to come up with something real. So the Lord of Dayu said that he dreamed of the Blood-clothed Bodhisattva, the Blood Lake and the Black Mountain. We are now
We already know that Wu Luo’s story is true, so we were
The ruler of the country has been misled, he has been looking up the ancient immortals, and has basically not paid much attention to the ruler of Dayu himself."
"In the end, we found nothing and could only choose to open a breakthrough from the King of Dayu. Chen Shuhua also accelerated his pace and rushed ahead of us to give medicine to the King of Dayu again. When Taoist friend Shangguan saw the King of Dayu, the King of Dayu had already
He is on the verge of death. This shows that Chen Shuhua’s plan is about to succeed."
As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the entire signing room.
Qi Xuansu never tried to be a hero and asked directly, "Qiniang, can you come over?"
Qiniang said, "It's hard to say."
Qi Xuansu frowned slightly, "What do you mean it's hard to tell?"
Qiniang said, "In half an hour, I'm going to meet with Old Man Jin. Let's see how our conversation goes."
Qi Xuansu was startled for a moment, and then realized that the "Old Man Jin" mentioned by Qiniang should be the Patriarch Jin Gong, the leader of the "Heavenly Court". There is a saying in Nanyang that Zhenren Landa is the emperor of land, and Patriarch Jin Gong is the emperor of the sea.
Although this is a slight exaggeration, it can still be seen the status of Patriarch Jin Gong in Nanyang. Moreover, various signs indicate that Patriarch Jin Gong has probably reached the stage of immortality and has become a genuine immortal.
Such an opponent, even if Qiniang takes action in person, has to be treated with caution.
Qiniang said, "You should be careful and keep the green hills there, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood."
The mother-child talisman burned into ashes, and Qiniang's figure slowly disappeared.
Qi Xuansu stood up, "I really didn't expect that things would develop to this point, and I had to make a decision. Now Qiniang can't make it, Master Landa hasn't finished her seclusion yet, something happened somewhere between the elbows, and the situation is dark and unclear.
, for the sake of the Taoist sect, and considering the overall situation, whether it is asking for instructions from Jinque, or holding a Taoist government meeting, it is already too late for the palace master to discuss matters. It seems that I have to act arbitrarily. "
Xu Jiaorong said, "Please give me your instructions."
Qi Xuansu walked back and forth several times, stopped suddenly, and said, "Immediately order Jiayin Lingguan and Dingchou Lingguan to arrest Chen Shuhua. Now you send a message to Jinque, explaining the matter. Note that it is not a request for instructions, but a report."
.I will go to Dayu Palace now to capture the King of Dayu."
Xu Jiaorong hesitated slightly, "If an order or report is made in the name of the Taoist government, and the king's government refuses to admit it afterwards, we will be very passive..."
Qi Xuansu emphasized, "It doesn't have to be in the name of the Taoist government, it's in my name."
