Chapter 75: Elixir and Xian Ding
When I entered Yanding Mansion City, I saw Taoists coming out to buy, and monks came to join forces to chant scriptures and walked past the streets.
It can be seen that the prosperity of Buddhism and Taoism in the capital is not a lie.
These days, fewer people have practiced hard on the mountain, and all Taoist temples are open to the city.
There are merit boxes in the main hall at the door. When you go to the temple to burn incense, it is not pious, but money.
Standing at the entrance of a temple with a prosperous incense, Kong Chenzi and General Du looked at the pilgrims kneeling on the stairs with envy, holding the incense and kowtowing each step.
The smell of copper plates poured into the merit box was crackling and the sound of the fat monk at the door was narrowed into a slit.
A so-called hand-copying Buddhist scriptures that have been consecrated by the master actually cost nearly one tael of silver. It goes without saying that a string of Buddhist beads and plaques that have been glowed on them is not an exaggeration to say that this small temple is making a fortune every day.
And in the temple, even a ghost was rare to see, let alone the people who came to burn incense.
Under the temple gate, the Taoist riding on the donkey sighed in pain.
"Everyone in the world worships such so-called true practices that do not cultivate merits and cheat money in the name of gods and Buddhas, and buy those useless Taoist scriptures and Buddhist books."
"But I am a fake Taoist priest."
"Ahhh...ah!"
General Donkey looked at the merit box with green eyes, and nodded with extreme agreement.
"That's right, lord!"
"This is a group of demon monks! We are here to fight side by side and eliminate demons and protect the way!"
Kong Chenzi slapped the donkey's head: "You are the most demonic, and you must not be easily killed!"
"We don't care about this world of the world. We will collect the saliva and see how you look like you are in no future."
Kong Chenzi turned to look at the location: "It's getting late, go to the medicine shop on the market street to see if you can get all the medicinal materials as soon as possible."
Gao Xian collected the locust god's blood and had to refine it into pills in time, otherwise most of the effects would be gradually ruined as time goes by.
However, the medicinal materials that can be matched are not something that can be received in small cities and counties. Only the prosperous places like the states, counties, or Yanding Prefecture can be collected.
I walked around the market, walked from the street to the end of the alley.
However, on this whole street, there are cloth shops selling silk, restaurants, pawn shops, rice shops, and grocery shops, but there are no medicine shops.
"Why don't you see the medicine shop?" Gao Xiansheng was surprised.
After asking, I found out that the doctors and pharmacies in Yanding Prefecture had to be assessed and formulated.
It is not opened on the bustling markets and streets, but there are one or two places in each market to facilitate the people of each market to see a doctor and ask for medicine.
Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly saw the noise in the middle of the street. When the crowd saw the excitement, they immediately gathered towards it.
Among the crowd, a man and a woman were standing in front of a wonderful truck, with white porcelain bottles placed on it, which looked like they were selling medicine.
The man was a young Taoist priest in his twenties. He looked not tall and had a tender face, and was lively and active.
The woman looked unrighteous and stood on the other side without saying a word.
The young Taoist priest stepped forward and introduced it lively: "Below is Zhang Xibai, who is the Immortal Temple, and the personal disciple of the Immortal Temple who took office as the Lord of the Immortal Temple. I believe everyone has heard of it. Since ancient times, we have been famous for our Alchemy techniques, and we are all known to all over the country. We all know it, and we all know it..."
Even though he said so, it sounds very famous.
However, when Gao Xian looked at the expressions of the onlookers around him, he probably knew that this should be a Taoist temple with little fame.
The so-called alchemy techniques that have been famous throughout the country since ancient times are mostly self-proclaimed.
Then the young Taoist priests began to use common methods of selling goods hawkers, telling stories, combining their own goods and origins with distant historical stories and celebrities.
The young Taoist priest Zhang Xi was politely chanting: "Everyone knows that there is an ancient legend in our Yanding Mansion. Hundreds of years ago, the immortals had refined alchemy here. When they attained enlightenment, not only one of them ascended, but also the chickens, dogs, cattle and horses in the house, as well as the chickens, dogs, cattle and horses, they climbed to the sky with them. It's a big deal that the immortals' alchemy technique is. Even chickens and dogs can become immortals. When they go to heaven, they are gods. If people take it, that's fine."
“…”
It is quite similar to the legend that Gao Xian knew about the ascension of chickens and dogs.
However, as Gao Xian listened, his eyes became solemn. The secret book he obtained from the Sancao Sanren recorded their method of cultivating locust gods and the state they finally sought, which was somewhat similar to the story.
The ancestors of their sect are proficient in alchemy and study the art of immortality throughout their lives.
Finally, he was lucky enough to refine a legendary demon pill.
A simple name directly explains its function and its evilness.
By fusing the power of this demon elixir by countless locusts, only one of them combined with the power in the elixir was cultivated to create the locust god eggs and artificially create a controllable monster.
It is somewhat similar to a part of this legend. The state I finally seek is the unity of man and the so-called locust gods and monsters, and gain immortality and powerful power. For mortals, it is no different from becoming an immortal.
As for why it is not used on humans, because the tens of millions of livestock, insects, snakes used in this method can only become one in the end. No matter how many livestock, insects, snakes die, there will always be substitutes that can become monsters.
But I only have one life, and I will disappear if I fail once.
That's why they came up with this locust god that is different from ordinary monsters and can be controlled by a sorcerer who practices extraordinary skills and will not resist, and then use its power to combine two into one to achieve the final so-called state of unity of man and god.
The Taoist stopped and looked at the two Taoist priests named Chengxian Temple and became interested.
At this time, the young Taoist priest lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Everyone knows the name of this temple, it is called the Temple of the Immortality. Most people must have guessed it!"
Taoist Zhang Xibai shouted: "That's right, we are the inheritance left by this immortal."
Then the porcelain bottles behind were exposed: "These are spiritual elixirs refined from the immortal cauldron left by this immortal, called the Rejuvenation Pill."
"If you are not sick, you can take it and be strong. If you are sick, you can relieve the symptoms."
"Although it cannot cure all diseases, it is a spiritual medicine that everyone can hear."
"Each pellet is refined after many days of hard work, and in one month, it is a furnace."
Zhang Xibai poured out a pill, which was an ordinary pill, and everyone saw it.
Gao Xian also looked at it and found that there were indeed some alchemy techniques. Although the elixirs refined were of the level of ordinary medicine, they were indeed the same as they said. They were considered as a kind of elixir to strengthen the body and did have a conditioning effect on some common diseases.
From this perspective, there is indeed a legacy of alchemy.
However, what Gao Xian is more curious about is the immortal cauldron left behind by the immortal who just mentioned by Zhang Xibai.
Although more and more people gathered, most of them were watching the fun and fewer people took action.
In the end, I couldn't sell much.
Because the first one is valuable, and the second one is not the kind of drug that will take effect immediately, everyone is still worried.
