The next place is still in the Taoyuan Mountains, about seven miles away from Xingde Mountain, in the canyon.
"To the northwest is Wulei Mountain, to the southeast is Wangyue Mountain. This valley to the east is the road to Dongting..." Standing at the mouth of the valley, Xing Dejun pointed to both sides and introduced to Liu Xiaolou.
Just as he was talking, several people came down from each of the two mountains, heading east along the mountain road, preparing to leave Taoyuan. When they saw Xing Dejun and Liu Xiaolou, they asked, "Were you also driven away by the Qingyu Sect?"
Xing Dejun said nothing with a cold face, but Liu Xiaolou answered the question: "Are you all the same?"
As more people gathered, these few people started complaining: "Mom! People from the Qingyu Sect will not die well!"
"What's bothering them? Don't you want me to wait here to survive?"
"The Zhou family was robbed, and it wasn't us. After I heard about it, I rushed there. I wanted to get a share of the pie, but I had already robbed it all, so I couldn't catch up. Now it's better, I didn't get any benefits, and I got nothing. , died unjustly!"
"If Taoyuan doesn't let people live, where else can we go?"
"Where else can we go? Let's go back to our hometowns."
"Brother, where is the fairyland? I won't go back. There will be no way to survive if I go back."
"Okay, welcome. I'm from Montenegro. Brothers, please come to Montenegro. Let's work together on great things..."
"Montenegro?"
"North Cliff of Black Mountain."
"Beiya? Do you recognize Thousand Faces Man Slaughter?"
"Oh, after all, we are actually a family! Brother Tu is my elder brother. Although he is not a blood relative, he is closer than his biological brother..."
"Kiss your mother! You have such a big crotch that you're going crazy. Let's get on our shoulders!"
"Hey... why did you do it? Brothers, what did you say? Ouch..."
"I'll tell you when you go back and ask the butcher. I'll beat you to relieve your anger, and then take you to the North Cliff of Black Mountain to settle the score with him and give my sister back!"
At the mouth of the valley, flying swords and long knives were of the same color, water arrows danced with fireballs, and they suddenly turned into a pot of porridge.
Liu Xiaolou quickly pulled Xing Dejun away and quickly got into the valley. Xing Dejun looked back and sneered: "These wild cultivators!"
Liu Xiaolou rolled his eyes and said to himself: "Isn't this normal?"
There were dense trees and vines in the valley, making it difficult to walk. Liu Xiaolou used his sword to cut a path in front of him, and he came to a mess of rocks.
Xing Dejun pointed to one of the big rocks: "Move it."
After the boulder was removed, a very narrow hole was exposed underneath.
"What kind of mine is this?" Liu Xiaolou asked curiously.
"This is not a mine, this is the tomb of our ancestors." Xing Dejun said, jumping into it.
After descending into the crypt and lighting up the fire, there was a three-foot-long tomb passage in front of them. Following the tomb passage inward, a stone chamber appeared with a stone coffin parked in the center.
"When I discovered this place, all the burial objects were stolen, not even the bones. Only the mercury in the coffin remained. Maybe the person who made the mound couldn't take it away."
Liu Xiaolou approached the coffin and saw that it was filled with a thick layer of silver liquid. He thrust his sword into it and stirred up a slight ripple. It turned out to be mercury.
"I heard that mercury can protect the body from immortality. Is this true?"
"That's true, but it requires a lot of mercury, and ordinary people can't get so much. I'm afraid the owner of the tomb was also a wealthy scholar back then."
"So it's cheaper for us."
"Mercury can protect spiritual energy from being concentrated and not dispersed. It is indispensable when refining weapons, but remember not to have too much. The key is to be thin and well-proportioned. Most of the weapon refiners in the world always think that the more you add, the more you can lock in the true essence. If they are not dispersed, it is actually absurd. If you add too much, the magic weapon will lose its dexterity and become dull."
Another weapon refining secret, Liu Xiaolou quickly wrote it down.
Xing Dejun took out a small bamboo tube and asked Liu Xiaolou to take a tube of mercury from the sarcophagus.
After that, the two quarried realgar, saltpeter and other materials in various mountains, and the sky turned dark.
Xing Dejun had no intention of looking back, but took advantage of the night to leave Taoyuan with Liu Xiaolou and headed east. Occasionally, he would deviate from the direction and go to a barren mountain or a deep stream to collect what he needed.
He told Liu Xiaolou that the materials required for refining weapons are ever-changing, but some of them are needed for most magic weapons, namely five metals and eight stones.
The hardware is gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin, and the eight stones are cinnabar, realgar, mica, sky blue, sulfur, salt, orpiment, and saltpeter. Each gold and stone also has different types and distinctions, and their effects vary widely. Depending on the quality of the materials used, the refined magic weapon will show what characteristics.
To judge its quality, we should start from the color, softness and hardness, weight and purity, and finally classify it into the five elements.
The essence of weapon refining is to refine the five elements.
Talking all the way, Liu Xiaolou listened carefully, asked questions from time to time, and unknowingly learned the lesson.
The art of weapon refining is profound and profound. Mr. Xing De himself said that the things he talked about were actually just the formation methods in weapon refining. But even so, Liu Xiaolou felt dizzy after hearing it. He knew it but didn't know why. This is not something that can be accomplished overnight, it can only be learned slowly and repeatedly.
While studying, Liu Xiaolou also understood Xing Dejun's painstaking efforts. Xing Dejun must be repaying his kindness by teaching him his secret weapon refining techniques. This made Liu Xiaolou very happy and he studied more attentively.
Fortunately, the Sanxuanmen method includes refining the blurred tendons. Liu Xiaolou has worked hard at this for many years, and many things are similar. Therefore, his learning feedback is very quick, leaving a good impression on Xing Dejun. impression.
Unknowingly, I suddenly saw a vast expanse of blue waves ahead. Dozens of fishing boats raised their sails and set nets on the water to catch fish. This was Dongting Lake.
There is a big island in the center of the lake, but it cannot be seen from the shore because Dongting Lake is so big. That invisible big island is Junshan, one of the blessed places in the world, and it is also where the gate of Qingyu Sect is located. Liu Xiaolou looked out into the middle of the lake, fascinated.
Following the lakeside to the south, we made a big circle, left the lakeside again, and walked northwest for more than 20 miles, where we saw a villa with multiple tiles and overlapping eaves.
Xing Dejun stopped moving forward and led Liu Xiaolou into the nearby woods and took out dry food to fill his stomach.
Liu Xiaolou asked: "Senior, were you looking at Zhuangzi just now?"
Mr. Xing De said: "This is the Zhou family's villa."
Liu Xiaolou was surprised: "Is it the one that was ransacked a few days ago? It doesn't look as wealthy as Zhang's Villa in southern Hunan."
Mr. Xing De said: "Are you talking about Zhang Xianbai's Jinping Villa? Zhou's Villa has a richer heritage than Jinping Villa, and the master monks in the village are not comparable to Jinping Villa. Apart from Zhang Xianbai, there is no good player in Jinping Villa. , Zhou’s generation has three great masters, two of whom have already established their foundations and are inner disciples of the Qingyu Sect.”
Liu Xiaolou glanced at Xing Dejun and said tentatively: "Senior's injury is..."
Xing Dejun nodded: "It's the injury here."
Liu Xiaolou was overjoyed: "It turns out that senior also accepted the hero post! Or is senior the one who posted the post? I wonder if senior and Boss Wang..."
Xing Dejun was stunned: "What kind of hero post? What kind of boss Wang?"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be faking it, Liu Xiaolou quickly picked up the topic: "Senior said that there are no good people in the Zhou family, so why are you here? Could it be that the Zhou family has a weapon-refining treasure? Senior wants to imitate the heroes of the past few days... ...No, follow the example of those thieves and destroy the villa again?"
Xing Dejun shook his head: "I came here this time just for a drop-in. I mainly collected materials nearby. But...since I'm here, do me a favor and lure Lady Zhou Qi from Zhuangzi here."
Liu Xiaolou was stunned, then smiled: "I see, senior, don't worry, I am quite good at this. Is this Mrs. Zhou Qi good at cultivation? How is her cultivation?"
