After everyone had left, Tianyanzi spoke to Xiao He and said, "Take Master Luokong and follow me!" After that, he flicked the fly whisk, turned around and left to take care of himself. Xiao He didn't answer. He carried Monk Kong on his back and followed quietly behind him, walking up the mountain from the side door of the hall.
Walking to the back mountain, I saw a bluestone path hidden in the forest. After walking not far, it suddenly became bright and sunny. The white clouds around me were within reach, and a stone staircase was vaguely visible between the white clouds. The first level is suspended in the air among the white clouds, which is very strange.
Not long after walking on the stone staircase in the air, a fresh fragrance came to his nose. Just smelling this smell, Xiao He felt relaxed and happy. In addition to the fresh smell, there was a constant sound of breaking through the air. Xiao He could hear that someone was practicing martial arts not far away. And they used weapons weighing thousands of kilograms.
"We're here." Tianyanzi said casually.
We have arrived at Tianyanzi's residence here. Different from the grandeur of Guiyan Hall, there is only one bamboo house here. There is a wooden plaque on the bamboo door and two light green inscriptions that are very simple: Xian Pavilion.
Xiao He looked at the bamboo house in front of him and thought to himself: Tian Tongzi and others called him Xian Dao just now, and it was indeed appropriate.
What surprised Xiao He even more was that in the small courtyard in front of the bamboo house, there was indeed someone practicing martial arts alone. This man was eight feet tall. He was not wearing a Taoist robe, but was wearing light blue cloth. He was holding a ten-foot spear in his hand. Xiao He could tell at a glance that the weapon weighed at least a thousand kilograms, but in the hands of this young man it was as light as a feather. Although this man was young, his moves looked grand and simple, but his skills were flexible and changeable, and every move contained murderous intent. , the martial arts was so wonderful that both Xiao He and Monk Lukong were extremely impressed. After a while, the small bamboo house courtyard seemed to be enveloped by the fierce wind of the spear.
Gradually, the young man's moves changed, Xiao He was just a panicked god, and the courtyard became very quiet.
Quiet, unusually quiet, Tianyanzi, Xiao He, and Monk Liaokong all stood motionless. The only things that moved were the wind and the boy practicing the gun.
As the steel spear circulates, it must break when it is strong, but this spear weighing a thousand kilograms is strong and soft at the same time, and it can't make any noise. It is really incredible. At this time, the young man has truly danced to the state of integration.
"Xingyu." Tianyanzi said.
When the young man heard the sound, he immediately made a closing gesture, and the ten-foot long spear immediately stood on the ground, motionless. Around the steel spear, pieces of fallen leaves swirled around the steel spear, scattering into a circle with the steel spear as the center.
"Master!" The young man named Xingyu by Tianyanzi bowed slightly and said respectfully.
"Go quickly and get the Xuanhuang Ginseng. I want to heal Master Liao Kong's wounds!" Tian Yanzi said.
Hearing this, Xingyu looked at Xiao He and Liao Kong carefully, hesitated a little, said yes and turned around to leave.
"Follow me!" Tianyanzi said and walked into the bamboo house.
Xiao He didn't ask any more questions. He carried Monk Kong on his back and followed the eaves into the bamboo house.
The facilities in the bamboo house were as simple as Xiao He imagined. Xiao He placed Monk Kong Kong, who had passed out at this moment, on the wooden bed and waited for Tianyanzi's instructions.
Not long after, Xingyu walked into the house holding a yellow box in both hands. From a distance, it looked like a wooden box. When Xingyu got closer, Xiao He saw clearly that the yellow box in Xingyu's hand turned out to be a wooden box. It is a piece of ancient jade, with a simple color and a smooth surface without any impurities. There is a faint light surrounding it.
Tianyanzi seemed to notice Xiao He's surprise, and said: "This Xuanhuang ginseng is naturally raised in the earth. It is a rare spiritual treasure, but it is very difficult to preserve. It must be preserved with this thousand-year-old topaz, so that its medicinal energy will not be scattered. The most ideal effect.”
When Xiao He heard this, he suddenly realized and murmured in a low voice: "So, this black ginseng is really extremely valuable! But how should it be eaten?"
Tianyanzi replied: "Although Xuanhuang Ginseng has miraculous effects, it takes a lot of effort to make it into a medicine. When the cultivation level is too low, if you take it directly, the medicinal energy will kill you, resulting in a loss of both energy and blood, which can be life-threatening. "
"So, what should we do?" Xiao He said.
"Brother Xiao, don't worry. Master is an expert in refining medicine. He naturally has a way to make Xuanhuang Ginseng into medicine." Xingyu said.
It turns out that this young man who is good at using guns is Tianyanzi's apprentice. His cultivation level is much higher than that of Yun Lin and Yun Xia, but he has never been seen in the martial arts training ground that day. The doubts in Xiao He's heart flashed away, but when he heard Xing Yu say this, Xiao He's worries were relieved.
At this time, Tianyanzi said: "Xingyu, you are here to take care of Master Kong first!" Then he turned to Xiao He and said: "You come with me!"
After Tianyanzi finished speaking, he left by himself, Xiao He followed closely behind, and the two of them strolled toward the back of the wooden house. There is another long and narrow mountain road behind the wooden house. It is paved with gravel. There are strange flowers growing freely on both sides of the road, and the fragrance is fragrant.
After walking less than a mile in this way, I saw a mountain peak. There was a huge stone gate at the foot of the mountain. Tianyanzi walked to the stone gate and raised his hand to press the switch, and the stone gate opened in response.
Xiao He followed Tianyanzi and walked in, only to find that the alchemy room was even wider than the one he had stolen the elixir with the demon that day. There were three huge medicine cabinets around the alchemy room, with more than 3,000 densely packed boxes. In the center of the room It is a huge gilded alchemy furnace, with a beam of white light shining on the alchemy furnace from top to bottom.
Xiao He looked up along the white light and realized that the alchemy room was built by hollowing out the entire mountain. The passage that ran through the mountain from top to bottom was supposed to be used to exhaust smoke during alchemy.
Xiao He was looking around by himself when Tianyanzi said: "I have told you in front of my senior brother that you will be punished as a handyman in the mountain. You must first clean the alchemy room every day to make it spotless. By the way, take all the herbs Identify them all and remember the location of each medicine accurately. When you remember it well, I will allow you to go down the mountain!"
"Then about the use of Xuanhuang Ginseng as medicine..." Xiao He said hesitantly.
"This is not difficult. All we need to do is use the Tianshan Snow Lotus as an aid and the cold mountain spring water to deliver the medicine! The top of my alchemy mountain is the source of the spring water in this mountain range." Tianyanzi replied.
"That mountain snow lotus?" Xiao He asked again.
Tianyanzi smiled slightly, raised his right hand, moved his index finger slightly, a medicine box opened in response, and a white snow lotus flower floated into Tianyanzi's hand. Tianyanzi continued: "You don't need to worry about Master Kong anymore, just do what I tell you!"
After Tianyanzi finished speaking, he left the room, leaving a dumbfounded Xiao He. He looked around casually. There were more than three thousand wooden boxes in front of the three boxes. Each box contained three herbal medicines, totaling more than nine thousand herbs. How could he remember them? .
After that, Xiao He fetched mountain spring water to clean the alchemy room every day, and began to try to write down every medicinal ingredient one by one. Xiao He asked himself that he had seen hundreds of medicinal herbs, but they were nothing compared to what Tianyanzi had stored. A big witch. Every three days, Tianyanzi would send Xingyu to deliver food to Xiao He. Most of the time, Xiao He would eat wild fruits in the back mountains and never step into the front yard.
He couldn't remember how many times Xingyu came here. He told Xiao He that after several treatments, Master Liaokong had taken the whole Xuanhuang ginseng. When he looked at himself, the meridians had become disconnected and the Dantian was also re-formed. Although His moral conduct was ruined, but his life was saved.
Xiao He was very happy when he heard this, but Xingyu continued: "Actually, Master Ran was also very surprised this time. He didn't know that Xuanhuang Ginseng had such miraculous effects. He thought he could only save his life, but he could no longer practice. He didn't expect that he could even The Dantian can be re-formed, it’s really magical.”
Hearing what Xing Yu said, Xiao He probably understood in his heart that the lotus platform given to Kong by the master that day must have had a miraculous effect, but Xiao He did not say it out because of his scruples.
Every time Xingyu came to deliver food to Xiao He, he could not say a few words and left in a hurry to practice on his own. In the blink of an eye, Xiao He had stayed in the alchemy room for three months, during which Tianyanzi came once , but didn’t have much praise for Xiao He’s memory. He just asked him to clean carefully and make every place spotless. Xiao He nodded in agreement.
On this day, Xiao He cleaned much more seriously than before. Relying on his gradual recovery, he took out the Dragon Valley Sword and while cleaning, he wrote down the medicines placed on the top floors.
Tianyanzi is not only famous for his virtuous ways, but also for his ability in alchemy. In this small alchemy room alone, countless treasures of heaven and earth are hidden, such as Bei Xian Ye, Sealing Throat Grass, Changsheng Fruit, Dragon Festival Roots, thousand-year-old flesh Buddhas, and so on, there are too many to list, almost dazzling Xiao He.
When Xiao He was cleaning the top floor, he saw a mechanism where the four medicine boxes met. It was exactly the same as the mechanism at the door of the alchemy room, except that it was slightly smaller.
"Is there another world in this alchemy room?" Xiao He thought. After hesitating for a long time, Xiao He couldn't help but turn the mechanism out of curiosity.
As the mechanism turned, there was a rumble behind him. Xiao He turned around and saw that the two walls separated to the left and right, which truly revealed the internal structure of the alchemy room.
Stepping into the door, the space is even wider. It seems that you have truly reached the depths of the mountain. The surroundings are empty. There are no herbal boxes anymore. There are only four stone lamps and candlelight. In the center of the hall, there is a larger alchemy treasure. Ding, the body of the tripod is engraved with two big characters: Qingmu.
"It seems that this should be the name of this cauldron. It turns out that this is the real alchemy room of Xian Dao." Xiao He said to himself.
He was about to take a closer look at the alchemy room he had discovered when a voice calling the door suddenly sounded in his ears. It was not very friendly and did not sound like Xingyu or Tianyanzi.
Seeing this, Xiao He quickly closed the mountain mechanism again and went to open the door to check.
Opening the door, there were four Taoist priests standing at the door. The leader said: "You are a little thief who steals elixirs. I never thought that Master Tianyanzi would actually leave you here. It's really an advantage for you!"
Hearing what the other party said, Xiao He held back his anger and said, "Who are you and why did you come here directly?"
"My master Tianjizi asked Master Tianyanzi to practice the Strengthening the Origin and Peiyuan Jidan. He sent me some raw materials. Master Tianyanzi asked us to give them to you." The leading disciple continued.
"You brat, these herbs are very valuable. You have to take good care of them, otherwise you won't be able to afford the compensation!" said another Taoist priest standing next to them.
The leader said nothing, threw the box in Xiao He's hand, looked him up and down again, then turned and left.
Xiao He was confused by several people. In the so-called cultivation, cultivating one's character is very important. How could there be a cultivator with such character? However, he looked very much like their master.
Xiao He was helpless, shook his head and smiled, opened the wooden box and looked at it.
