It is basic etiquette to visit someone's home and bring gifts, and Chen Yun has no doubts about this.
In addition, inner alchemy is learned from outer alchemy. As the founder of inner alchemy, it is not surprising that Zhongli Quan is proficient in refining outer alchemy.
What he was puzzled about was, what kind of elixir was this, and his mentor actually took it out and asked him to give it to the immortal Erlang Shen?
Looking at the yellow elixir with a little purple in his teacher's hand, Chen Yun raised a question: "Teacher, what kind of elixir is this?"
Zhong Liquan said: "This is the Purple Gold Pill, also called the Zhenling Pill."
Shocking Pill?
Ordinary people may not have heard of it.
However, as long as those who practice Taoism have basically heard of it.
Chen Yun naturally knew about the Zhenling Pill. It was rumored that it was Mrs. Wei's unique elixir.
Some people may not be familiar with the name Mrs. Wei, but her book "Huang Ting Jing" should be known to everyone.
That's right, Mrs. Wei is none other than Wei Huacun, also known as Zixu Yuanjun, commonly known as the Second Immortal Grandma. She once offered wine to the Celestial Master, and later founded the Shangqing Sect, which is a true attainment of Taoism.
This Shocking Pill is Mrs. Wei's unique elixir. It is said that this pill "does not violate the nature of gold and stone. It is not arrogant or dry, takes away the power of harmony, can cure all kinds of injuries, and can even achieve enlightenment and become an immortal."
In other words, if you take this elixir, you may become an immortal directly.
Such a valuable elixir cannot be obtained casually even by an immortal.
Chen Yun estimated that it would not be easy for his mentor to obtain this elixir from Grandma Erxian.
He said with an moved face: "Teacher, when I go to visit King Akagi, do I need to bring such a precious gift?"
Qin Liang, Ji Xin and the three hundred rampant soldiers didn't know, but when they heard Chen Yun's surprise, they all guessed that this elixir was particularly rare.
Zhong Liquan smiled and said: "If you want it, you will know why after you take it."
If I take it, you will know why?
Is there any mystery inside?
Although Chen Yun didn't know why, his mentor said so, so he thanked him, took it carefully, and rushed towards Guanjiang Temple.
To be honest, he didn't think of secretly eating the elixir on the way, but considering Daluo Lingtang, Chen Yun felt that it would be more promising to work hard to practice inner elixir, so he suppressed his inner restlessness.
…
Guanjiang Temple.
Before Chen Yun entered, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a three-mountain hat appearing at the door.
This middle-aged man with three beards saw Chen Yun approaching, he laughed and stepped forward to hold his hand, "Brothers of the Chen family, my second brother has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me."
Although Chen Yun didn't know who this man was, he knew from the words that he was one of Erlang Shen's subordinates. As he followed him, he asked, "May I ask your name, brother?"
The middle-aged man said: "I am Guo Yazhiye."
Chen Yun said hurriedly: "It turns out to be Saint Guo, one of the Seven Saints of Meishan."
Volume 3 of "The Encyclopedia of Searching Gods from the Three Religions" contains three words: During the Sui Dynasty, Zhao Yu, the prefect of Jiazhou, entered the water to kill the dragon. Seven people entered the water at the same time, and Jiazhou is Meishan. The seven people under Zhao Yu are the so-called "Seven Sages of Meishan".
It was only because he was mistakenly called Meishan by later generations that he was gradually called the Seven Sages of Meishan.
Guo Yazhi did not correct him, he just said with a smile: "I am just a grass-headed god, what is holy or not? If Brother Chen appreciates it, just call me Brother Guo."
Chen Yun was originally here for the banquet, so naturally he would not appreciate the compliment and changed his words: "Okay, Brother Guo."
The two chatted through the temple and came to a farmhouse.
As soon as he stepped through the gate, Chen Yun saw Erlang Shen and four or five men sitting around a table with wine and food placed on it.
Guo Yazhi took the lead and said: "Second brother, Brother Chen is here."
"Haha, Brother Chen came just in time. All the brothers and I were talking about you."
Erlangshen stood up together with the four or five men.
Chen Yun hurriedly saluted and said, "I've met my second brother."
Erlang Shen stepped forward and took Chen Yun's hand affectionately, "Here, let me introduce you to Marshal E..."
He introduced the remaining five men in one breath.
Only then did Chen Yun know that these five people were all the Seven Sages of Meishan, named Marshal E, King Da, Zhou Cang, Sayin Kun and Huang Maotongzi respectively.
This is different from the names of the Six Saints of Meishan written in "Journey to the West", just as the current Erlang God does not have "three eyes".
As for why there are only Erlang Shen and the Six Sages of Meishan here, and no other Auxiliary Gods of Guanjiang Temple, and another Seven Sages of Meishan, Chen Yun probably thinks that it is because the bodies of other Auxiliary Gods are decayed, or they are not the "brothers" of Erlang Shen, so they do not appear here. here.
After the introduction, Erlangshen said a little apologetically: "There is another one of my brothers called Huashan Sanlang. Because he offended his wife's natal family before, he was beaten and bedridden. Only the soul can leave the body. Today, I can't see Brother Chen in the flesh. Actually. It’s a great pity.”
Saburo Huashan?
If I remember correctly, this person has a great background. It is rumored that he is the third son of King Jintian of Huashan, who is also the uncle of Liu Chenxiang in myth and legend. His sister is the three goddesses of Huashan and the goddess of Beihai.
What is worth mentioning here is that in the earliest myths and legends, Erlang Shen and San Shengsheng had no relationship at all. However, with the evolution of history and various literary creations, Erlang Shen gradually changed from Zhao Erlang to Yang Jian. He became Liu Chenxiang's uncle.
Huashan Sanlang has a good background, but unfortunately his reputation is not very good. There are rumors that he has a bad deed of forcibly marrying civilian women.
Chen Yun heard a legend, which is the story of the North Sea God and the mortal Zhang Weishan who beat up the Huashan Mountain God for the Bei Sea Goddess.
The mountain god of Huashan Mountain is King Jintian, the great emperor of Huashan Mountain.
Based on what Erlang Shen said just now, Chen Yun can roughly judge that Huashan Sanlang among the Seven Saints of Meishan is most likely the legendary "evil god", the third son of Huashan Mountain God who was beaten violently by the North Sea God and the mortal Zhang Weishan.
Even King Jintian was beaten violently. As the "chief culprit" who offended the natal family of the North Sea Goddess, Saburo Huashan was naturally not spared and was beaten to the point of being bedridden.
At the same time, Chen Yun vaguely knew why his mentor asked him to bring the Soul-shaking Pill to the banquet.
Not surprisingly, this Spirit-shaking Pill was given to Huashan Saburo to treat his injuries.
As for why his mentor wanted to treat the physical injuries of the evil god Huashan Saburo, Chen Yun didn't know.
Thinking about it, he first chatted with Erlang Shen and the Seven Sages of Meishan for a while.
At the end, Chen Yun took out the elixir and said, "Second brother, my mentor learned that I was coming to the banquet, so he specially gave me an elixir as a gift for my visit."
Erlang Shen instinctively wanted to refuse, "Brother Chen and I are married..."
Only halfway through his words, he suddenly saw this elixir, and his eyes widened suddenly, "Shocking Pill?"
Guo Yazhi, E Dashuai, Da Wang, Zhou Cang, Sayin Kun and Huang Maotongzi also looked at each other, obviously knowing what this elixir meant to them.
Chen Yundao: "Exactly."
Erlang Shen hesitated for a moment, took the elixir with a wry smile and said, "Thank you, Brother Chen. Master Zhengyang's move... is really intentional."
He carefully took the elixir and handed it to Zhou Cang next to him, "Take it to Saburo."
Zhou Cang said hurriedly: "Here."
After saying this, Zhou Cang walked quickly with the elixir in his hands.
Erlang Shen didn't talk about the elixir anymore, and just dragged Chen Yun into the banquet.
Everyone started to eat and drink.
During this period, Zhou Cang came back again and again, and also joined the drinking party.
As for the Huashan Saburo who didn't see him, he was probably seriously injured and would be difficult to recover from even taking the elixir just now, so he didn't show up.
After drinking for three rounds, Erlang Shen looked at Chen Yun while holding the wine glass, and deliberately guided the conversation: "Brother Chen, I see that you have three kinds of magic power in your body. It should be that you have practiced inner elixir, Yin Shen and physical body, right?"
The other party is already in the Immortal Realm, so it is not surprising at all to see his own cultivation level.
Chen Yun responded: "Yes."
Erlang Shen said with some profound meaning: "Although I don't practice inner elixirs, I still have a unique method of cultivation. It is a method of practicing the spirit and the physical body at the same time. I am not boasting. My physical body can carry mountains and chase the sun, and my spirit can also use it wonderfully." Infinite, even if the physical body is beaten to pieces, as long as the soul is not destroyed, it can still be reshaped. Brother Chen, are you interested in learning?"
Carrying mountains to catch the sun is one of the myths and legends of Erlang Shen, and Chen Yun naturally believes in it.
It's just that the ability he heard Erlangshen introduce himself seemed to be familiar to him.
Yuan Shen has endless magical uses?
The physical body is extremely powerful?
Isn't it the Eight-nine Mysterious Skills in "The Romance of the Gods"?
Of course, Chen Yun knew that "Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills" was the original name of "The Romance of the Gods" and Erlang Shen's cultivation method should not be called that.
Regardless of whether it's called the Eight-Nine Mysterious Gong or not, the effect is basically the same!
Chen Yun didn't expect that the other party would be willing to teach him such a powerful mysterious skill. After a moment, he was quite surprised and said: "Second brother, you are so powerful that you want to teach me such a powerful mysterious skill?"
Erlang Shen didn't hide it, he said it directly, "Compared to the immortal elixir of my virtuous brother, my technique is nothing."
Guo Yazhi, Da Wang and others all nodded slightly. The Seven Sages of Meishan and Erlang looked like brothers. If Sanlang of Huashan didn't have the elixir to treat his injuries, his body would definitely rot and he could only follow the divine way.
However, there are no more than three kinds of elixirs in the world that can cure Sanlang Huashan, and even the Great Emperor of Xiyue and Erlang Shen cannot obtain them.
Now that Chen Yun has come to present the elixir, it is expected that Sanlang Huashan will be cured, so of course Erlang Shen must return the favor.
It's just that in this reciprocity, you have to give something of equal or even higher value, otherwise it is not etiquette.
The things that Erlang Shen can produce that are equal to or higher in value than the elixir are nothing more than those magic weapons and his mysterious skill.
He couldn't give the magic weapon to Chen Yun. It wasn't that he didn't want to give it to him, but it was too powerful. Chen Yun was too weak now. Giving it to Chen Yun was like a child holding gold to get through the bustling city. Wouldn't this be harmful to others!
Therefore, Erlang Shen thought about it and felt that it would be more appropriate to give Xuan Gong.
Chen Yun wanted to politely refuse, but his mentor paid for the elixir. It was obvious that he was not simply asking him to visit as a gift. It was estimated that this mysterious skill was destined for him, so there was an equal exchange.
Furthermore, he is indeed coveted for this Eighty-nine Mysterious Technique prototype technique.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yun stood up, bowed his hands in salute, and said, "In that case, brothers inherit the love of brotherhood."
Erlang Shen laughed loudly, "You and I are both brothers, so there is no need to be so polite. But Brother Chen, I have something to say first. This cultivation method is my own secret method. It's okay for you to practice it yourself. Don't pass it on to others." "
Chen Yundao: "Definitely."
Erlang Shen hummed, then stretched out his hand to touch the top of Chen Yun's head and gave him an "Initiation and Transfer of Gong".
Soon, Chen Yun had a cultivation method that combined the spirit and the physical body in his mind.
Because he was currently in the middle of a banquet, it was not convenient for him to check how the skills were, so he just wanted to have a brief look.
But just such a simple understanding surprised Chen Yun. This technique is almost exactly the same as the description of "Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques" in "The Romance of the Gods". After successful practice, not only can you change it as you like, The physical body will also become more powerful than ever before, and it can resist magical weapons such as eating and drinking water. The more important thing is that if you practice it to a great extent, just like Erlang Shen said just now, as long as the soul is immortal, it will not matter how many times the physical body is destroyed. All of them can be reshaped with the help of Yuan Shen!
