Chapter 147: Cloud Car Going North(1/2)
Within a few days, Taoist priests from Taichu Temple went to the Border Market in Handishuan to purchase and collect various rare herbs and medicinal materials.
It attracted the attention of many people in the city.
Finally, the day came for the alchemy to be started. The entire Taichu temple closed its gates and chanted sutras and prayed devoutly.
The two children fasted and bathed for several days and put on brand new robes.
Carrying the expectations of many teachers and the entire Taichu Temple, he climbed the mountain under the welcome of all the Taoists.
But see.
The top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, blocking out all probing eyes from inside and outside.
"Why is there such a heavy fog?" Some disciples were surprised. After all, fog had never been seen on the mountain at this time in the past.
"After all, it is an immortal making elixirs. How can we allow outsiders to spy on us? Don't say anything." Elder Shou Yuan was also a little nervous and immediately scolded him.
"That's right, I, Taichu Guan, have encountered such a thing, and have already experienced great blessings. How can an immortal make an elixir that a mortal can easily see." Daoxuan nodded in agreement.
On the side, Daoxuan immediately turned to look at his disciple.
Carefully, he took out the brush, the bamboo tube filled with ink and the blank book that he had prepared earlier.
"You two are usually lazy and playing tricks as teachers. But this time, you must remember every word the immortal said first, and write it down when you have time."
"A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. You two are very playful and forgetful, but this time there must be no room for mistakes."
"Because maybe one word is wrong, and it's a thousand miles away. Even if you cry in the future, you won't be able to regain this immortal fate."
Daoxuan warned again and again.
"Any words said by the immortal, even if they are casual, may contain the supreme true meaning and wonderful magic power. You must not slack off."
"I understand! Master!" The two children were much calmer than before this time, and said yes.
Ming Xin and Ming Guang walked up, stood in front of the clouds and looked back.
His senior brothers, masters, uncles, and masters all stood where they were, looking at the two of them.
The two of them just walked into the mist and disappeared.
The mountain roads that were familiar in the past have become extremely sacred and secretive.
Climbing higher and higher, we stood on the top of the mountain under the light of clouds.
A Taoist priest was already sitting cross-legged at the door of the Buddhist Scripture Hall, and all the clouds and mist were swirling around him.
The second boy hurried forward, imitating the gesture of worshiping the Taoist Master in the past.
"Daojun!"
Daojun Kongchen just nodded and pointed his finger.
I saw a large cauldron on the top of the mountain.
Looking at the big cauldron that appeared out of thin air, before Er Daotong could be surprised, a wisp of green energy fell from Daojun's fingertips into the big cauldron.
The big cauldron underwent earth-shaking changes. The rust and petrification marks on it gradually faded away, turning into a bronze alchemy cauldron that exuded a dense divine light.
The tripod has the word "Kunlun" on it.
Er Daotong immediately remembered what his ancestor had said before, about the legend of Kunlun Mountain.
As expected, the immortal came down from the Kunlun Mountain.
The green energy of the incense blends in, the Kunlun Divine Cauldron revives, and the cauldron lid rises.
Every time this Xiaohuan Dan is opened, it consumes a wisp of incense and green energy. It is really very expensive and unusual.
"Could this be the immortal cauldron in the sky?" Mingguang Taoist boy opened his mouth wide, his eyes gleaming as he paid attention to the various details and changes of the alchemy cauldron.
"This time we are going to use this cauldron to assist the Taoist Lord in refining elixirs. Is it just like the legendary alchemy boy next to the Taoist Lord in Heaven?" Another boy was thinking about it, remembering stories from various myths and legends.
However.
Daojun clicked again, and another round alchemy furnace fell down.
There is a fire stove under the alchemy furnace, which is different from the Kunlun Divine Cauldron that relies on the dense air to make elixirs.
This is for fire.
General Donkey walked out from the side and walked proudly in front of the two children.
"Grandpa Donkey!" Er Daotong stood up again.
General Donkey walked up to the two children and felt quite disgusted. However, after thinking about what the master had said, half of the elixirs he made this time would go to General Donkey, and he suddenly felt full of motivation.
Looking at the eyes of the two children looking at the Kunlun Divine Cauldron, I immediately knew what the two children were thinking.
"You two still want to follow me to refine this elixir?"
"You can't even refine Fan Dan, yet you still want to reach heaven in one step."
"But Grandpa Donkey will make an exception today and teach you how to refine the elixir directly."
General Donkey gave an order with the majesty of a worldly general, and ordered the two children to start moving furiously.
Pile firewood and light a fire.
To stir up trouble and stir up medicine.
Very busy.
General Donkey was lying on the ground, shouting and shouting, while the two children were busy and dizzy.
Occasionally, when I look back, I see the divine aura emanating from the Kunlun Divine Cauldron soaring into the sky.
The elixirs hovered in the sky one by one and fell in order. The dense air swallowed up the herbs and medicinal materials and turned them into spiritual essences and fell into the cauldron.
Daojun Kongchen was sitting cross-legged in front of the Kunlun Divine Cauldron, his eyes closed and motionless, as if he was asleep.
The two boys looked at the cattail fans and medicine pestles in their hands again.
One has a black head and face scorched by smoke, and the other is sweating from the medicine.
Take another look at the fire-burning pill furnace.
This gap is also too big.
General Donkey saw the two Taoist boys being lazy and immediately shouted: "It's not healed yet? The fire is almost over!"
"You two can't even make a fire, but you still want to use the Kunlun Divine Cauldron to make elixirs?"
"Get moving quickly."
Daojun Kongchen was refining the Xiaohuan Dan on the side.
General Donkey and two little Taoist boys used the corpse of the Night God to refine the Solid Yuan Pill.
With the two furnaces turned on at the same time, Taichu Temple really has the aura of the Immortal Alchemy Pavilion at this moment.
The two little children were so busy that they were sweating profusely, watching General Donkey refining the blood of the Night Wandering God. Each of the auxiliary materials fell into the furnace, and the furnace was turned off before they could finally sit down and stop for a while.
At this moment, the lid of the Kunlun Divine Cauldron was also closed, the glow of the dense air disappeared, and a sound like tidal waves came from inside.
When he was free, Daojun Kongchen suddenly spoke and asked about the two boys.
"What is the most basic thing about alchemy?"
"Huohou." Mingguang held a fan and looked at the fire in the alchemy furnace.
"Materials." Ming Xin took the medicine pestle, paused and thought for a while and then said.
Daojun Kongchen glanced at the two children.
He chuckled and shook his head.
"None of them."
"Taoist alchemy is to regulate the human body through the art of alchemy, so as to achieve transcendence, prolong life, and be free from disease and disaster."
"The most important thing is the changes between the elixir, qi and blood, and the human body. As long as you understand the connection between these three, you can know how the elixir is made."
"Alchemy is just an appearance, but the real secret lies within the human body and within all things."
"The next level up is the change between the mysteries of the human body and the mysteries of the aura."
"What is Lingyun?" Mingxin asked curiously.
Daojun Kongchen pointed around.
"Everything has animism, every plant, every tree, birds, fish, insects, immortals, gods and ghosts, all have auras."
"If one day you can reach this level of enlightenment, you will not be far from the Tao."
Mingguang thought of the somewhat terrifying Night Wandering God: "Master Dao, does the refining of the elixir require the blood of demons?"
"What if one day there are no more monsters in the world? Or what if it is impossible to find monsters anymore?"
Taojun smiled and said, "Isn't that a great good thing?"
"Nothing in the world remains unchanged, and there are no magical methods or techniques that remain unchanged."
"Everything in the world is changing with the times, but the Great Dao is eternal."
