Chapter 158 Xu Zhou Showdown (Part 1)
"Master, why do we need to do this?" Huang Shan obviously didn't understand his thoughts when he heard Xu Changqing let his brother and sister stay in the Danfang, so he pulled his clothes and asked.
"You need to understand this yourself. Just remember that the most important thing about the inner and outer elixirs is the heat," Xu Changqing touched Huangshan's head and said, "As for the fire, it is in the golden elixir path I mentioned, you can find it yourself. In addition, the most taboo of turbid air in alchemy, so you should not eat meat and fish during alchemy. You can only eat rice. Unless you are polite, you should not open the alchemy room without authorization, so as not to leak the alchemy energy." Then he said earnestly: "Refining alchemy is like cultivating the mind. If you can survive these ten days, your Taoist heart will definitely improve."
After hearing this, the Huang brothers and sisters nodded vigorously. Chen Yuanshan, who was already planning to assist in the alchemy, also carefully recorded Xu Changqing's words. Zhou Qinglan, who was beside him, felt that this was an opportunity to improve her cultivation. In addition, she did not want to interfere with the conflict between her family and Xu Changqing, immediately shouted to join in. Zhou Zhenglin had no choice but to nod and agreed. So the four fire holes of the alchemy furnace were guarded, and Zhou Zhenglin, who was the main medicine and alchemy, got free.
In the remaining time, Xu Changqing helped Zhou Zhenglin put the alchemy stove on the earthen stove, then poured the rootless water that had been prepared into the furnace, and placed the thirty-one medicinal materials on the medicine rack in the alchemy stove. After everything was ready, Xu Changqing also estimated that the time was almost over. He shouted "Create the fire and open the furnace", and ignited the firewood in his hand with the three Yang true fire and placed it into the earthen stove at the bottom of the alchemy stove.
After raising the fire, Xu Changqing ordered the four of them to guard the fire holes in the four directions, and then asked Zhou Zhenglin to sit upright in the center of the elixir room to watch out for the heat. After exiting the elixir room, he closed the door and left the Huang brothers and sisters and five others in the room. After that, he walked around the elixir garden and inserted a set of Suyun Sky Flags he had refined in the past few days around the courtyard wall, preparing to completely isolate the elixir garden.
Although the Tao of the outer alchemy is helpful to the state of Taoism, it is not as magical as Xu Changqing said. The reason why he left the Huang brothers and sisters here was more importantly because he did not want the Huang brothers and sisters to stay by his side. He is used to doing things alone, which is true in the Chen family, and in the capital. Even if his cultivation is as good as Yan Feng and others, he only regards them as ordinary helpers, and his companions who share life and death are also optional in his opinion.
Among the possible enemies, let alone how powerful the bronze armored zombie king who could turn into a drought-bag at any time, even the divine man from the Li family who was eyeing him outside the village was not something Xu Changqing was willing to offend. If possible, Xu Changqing would be willing to use the life of the young master Xiaoqi to exchange for the reconciliation of the Li family's divine man and deal with the bronze armored zombie king together.
Just as Xu Changqing was about to leave and went to the forest of Zhoujia Village to meet the Li family gods again, several Zhouzhuang children, who were probably Zhou Qinglan's generation, walked in outside the Danyuan Garden, bowed to Xu Changqing and said, "Hello, Mr. Xu! The two masters want to invite the gentleman to go to the ancestral temple for a while."
"I've found it! What a quick move." Xu Changqing smiled coldly in his heart, pinched the magic seal in secret, used Taoist power, hit the surrounding flags, activated the Suyun Sky Covering Array, and then nodded slightly and said, "Okay, wait for the lead."
After the group left Danyuan, a cloud of clouds and mist was strangely formed, completely covering it. These people did not know what happened in Danyuan, so they led Xu Changqing around the outer house of Zhouzhuang for a long time, and finally arrived at the west side of the outer house, close to a large courtyard in the inner house of the west wing. When Xu Changqing raised his foot into the courtyard, he felt a strong yin energy rushing out from the ground, causing his hair to stand up involuntarily.
In Zhouzhuang, the Yizhuang, which should have been forced to have strong yin energy, is the place where the yang fire is the most prosperous in Zhouzhuang, but the ancestral temple, which should have been the most prosperous in yang fire, is like a knife. Ordinary people cannot feel this kind of spiritual energy in heaven and earth. Except for a slight coldness, there is no other discomfort. Only practitioners like Xu Changqing can feel that the yin energy here is so strong that it is suffocating.
Setting up such a strange yin and yang reversal pattern in the Yang house naturally has great meaning. Xu Changqing couldn't help but feel that the aura here was very similar to the center of the underground palace he guessed. Judging from the terrain, it was very likely to be nearby. So, when he walked, every step he took, his legs used the five elements to fight, wrapping a pure true energy with the earth spirit energy and stepping into the ground. When these dozens of true energy rushed into the ground more than twenty feet of the ground, suddenly a yin and cold corpse energy that was more pure than the clone of the copper armored corpse rushed up from the ground, not only dispersing the dozen true energy, but also gathered together to attack Xu Changqing.
"It's true!" Xu Changqing, who found the underground palace, smiled, and seemed to shook his clothes casually, and stomped his feet twice, as if shaking the dust on his body. During this inadvertent action, Xu Changqing shook the hem of his clothes and just luckily removed the corpse energy. At the same time, the true energy shock force emitted by stomping his feet instantly shook the corpse energy that rushed out of the ground.
In this quiet contest, Xu Changqing's feet were a little numb and there was no other discomfort. This may be the first time Xu Changqing and the Bronze Armor Zombie King had fought. Both sides seemed to have a draw, but in fact Xu Changqing lost slightly, because without the help of the Bronze Armor Clever, he would never have absorbed the shattered corpse energy so easily.
After the first round of the fight, both sides tacitly did not launch another attack. After Xu Changqing made a gesture of invitation from the Zhou family, he stepped into the Zhou family's ancestral temple. Then the Zhou family closed the door and stood far away to guard. At this distance, no sound could be heard from the hall.
