Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 149
There are many pilgrims on Mount Tai, and there are also many porters on Mount Tai.These porters chanted to remind pedestrians going up and down the mountain that they were carrying heavy goods to and from Mount Tai.

Zhang Wei looked at these people, and asked Lei Zi with some puzzlement: "Master, now that Daoism is flourishing, there are many problems that can be solved with magic, why do people still need to shoulder shoulders and hands to do this hard work?"

Jue Leizi smiled and said: "Your words are correct. It is better to use the method of transporting, or driving beasts to carry goods, than people's shoulder-to-hand resistance. There is a reason for this."

"Of course there is a reason for this." Suddenly, a voice interrupted Jue Leizi's words.

Zhang Wei turned his head to look, but his face was filled with joy, and he quickly saluted, "Senior Brother Qingsong! But it's been a long time since I saw you!"

It was Qingsong who came.He nodded to Zhang Wei, bowed to Lei Zi, and said: "The human race was in poverty, and the monster race was rampant. Mr. Taishan, who was still an ordinary monk, took pity on people, so he proposed that as long as the people brought something from the mountain, Whether it's vegetation, stones or other things, you can exchange a day's ration with him, a piece of peace."

"The people at the bottom of the mountain didn't believe it at first, but then a person went up the mountain with a fist-sized stone and got the food and practice skills from Lord Taifu, and the people at the bottom of the mountain believed it."

"From then on, as long as the people at the foot of the mountain go up the mountain with something, no matter what it is, Lord Taishan will give food and exercises. Until the human race overthrows the rule of the monster race."

"Although this incident stopped later, people at the bottom of the mountain are still used to carrying things up the mountain. Over time, this kind of porter has formed. Porters carry goods up the mountain not for making money, but for other things."

Zhang Wei nodded knowingly. In this way, this is a bit like a pilgrimage.

After Qingsong finished speaking, he turned to Zhang Wei, "Why did you come to Mount Tai?"

Zhang Wei looked at Jue Leizi, Jue Leizi nodded to him, and then he said: "I came here to borrow Xiezhi, something happened to me."

Qingsong nodded and didn't ask any specific questions.Instead, he said: "I am familiar with this mountain, if you need anything, you can come to me."

After finishing speaking, he saluted the two of them, and then disappeared on the mountain road.

Jue Leizi looked at the place where he disappeared and said, "It seems that Qingsong admires you very much."

“How come you see?”

"This Qingsong was pardoned by the emperor, and the courts of all dynasties have also awarded him. Not to mention his eyes are higher than the top, but he is also a proud person. He has always been friendly with various forces, but they will not go too deep. When you come to Mount Tai , he came out to say hello, can't explain the problem?"

Zhang Wei felt that this must have something to do with his vague fate.Qingsong is more interested in this, so he will pay more attention to him.

At this time, Jue Leizi suddenly smiled and said: "The person we are waiting for has arrived."

Zhang Wei followed Jue Leizi's gaze, and there was a person wearing a wide-sleeved cloak standing in the small pavilion for people to rest on the side of the mountain road ahead.

What is strange is that although there are many resting people sitting beside him, none of these people seem to see him, chatting and resting on their own.

Jue Leizi and Zhang Wei walked over, and the moment they stepped into the gazebo, earth-shaking changes took place inside.

The small gazebo has become a water pavilion next to the mountains and rivers. In the water pavilion, there are dancers dancing, singers singing, and music girls playing music.

A god-man with a square face was kneeling in it, and there were two small tables next to him, on which were placed snacks, snacks, jugs and other things.

When he saw Jue Leizi coming in, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zhang hasn't seen him for a long time, and he still looks so handsome."

Jue Leizi's surname is Zhang, which is the same as Zhang Wei.

Jue Leizi also bowed his hands to him and said: "Brother Sima too, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are still so elegant."

Then he said to the divine man sitting on the seat: "This is Zhang Wei, a disciple of the sect. Zhang Wei, this is the great god of Zuoqing Sishan, Sima Zui, under the command of Lord Taishanfu."

There are many names for the king of Taishan Prefecture, one of which is called Dongyue Emperor.Since he is the emperor, he naturally has a team of civil servants.This Zuo Qing is a civil official.

There are several sets of teams led by the Lord of Mount Tai, one set of Yinguan Difu, one set of Mount Tai mountain gods, and one set of gods and emperors.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while before taking their seats.Zhang Wei originally wanted to sit at another table, but was glared at by Jue Leizi, and he realized it, and stood awkwardly behind Jue Leizi.

A small person like him has no seat here and can only stand behind him.

Fortunately, there is also a maid pouring wine standing beside him. This maid is also very beautiful and has a scent on her body. After all, she will not be too lonely.

It is not difficult to see from the style and style here that Sima Zou is a god with a long history.He exchanged pleasantries with Jue Leizi for a while, and not long after, another man of God came.

This person wears a feather crown and Taoist robes.Only after listening to the introduction did I know that this person is the officiant priest of Mount Tai, Taoist Zhu Ming.

Mount Tai is the leader of all mountains, and the character of the mountain god of Mount Tai is also very high. As the chief priest of the temple of Mount Tai, Taoist Zhu Ming has a high status.

Most importantly, this Xiezhi was raised in his hands.

This banquet was mainly held by Sima Zou, who set up a bridge to let Jue Leizi and Daoist Zhu Ming know each other.

After drinking three times and making rounds, Jue Leizi said, "This time I met fellow Taoist Zhu Ming, I actually wanted to borrow Xiezhi, and I don't know if it's convenient or not."

The Taoist Zhu Ming pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "There is nothing inconvenient about this, but this Xiezhi is an ancient beast, and we are probably the only ones left in the world now. There is still a way to borrow things." .”

Jue Leizi said with a smile: "If there is any trick, you can just say it."

"It's not something to embarrass you, just hand over a charter to our mountain temple, so we have a reason."

Jue Leizi nodded and said, "That's not a problem, but I still have an unfeeling request, that is, I want to try this Xiezhi first, and I hope Fellow Daoist Zhu Ming can help me."

"I thought it was something, it's a trivial matter, you come to my temple tomorrow, I will welcome you."

The main thing is settled, and the rest is to drink and have fun until dawn.

The next day, Jue Leizi took Zhang Wei to the Temple of Mount Tai.

The Taishan Mountain Temple is also a magnificent building halfway up the mountain.When Zhang Wei and the others arrived, there were already many pilgrims in the temple.

Zhang Wei explained the purpose of their visit, and naturally an intellectual took them to find Taoist Zhu Ming.

Entering Taoist Zhu Ming's small courtyard, I saw a girl holding a basket of grass and feeding an animal.

Upon closer inspection, the animal also looked strange. It had a single horn on its head, big ears and square ears, and its fur was white.

At this time, Taoist Zhu Ming walked out of the room, cupped his hands to them, and said, "This is the divine beast Xiezhi, but this is still a child, and it's time for gluttony and fun."

The growth of the beast is extremely slow, and the lifespan is calculated in thousands of years. This little guy is still a cub.

"Qingqing, bring Xiezhi here." Taoist Zhu Ming shouted.

The girl teasing Xiezhi over there responded, and then gave Xiezhi the grass in her hand, and then hugged Xiezhi while she was eating grass.

Xiezhi doesn't care about you if you have something to eat, just quietly in the girl's arms.

The girl hugged her and said to Taoist Zhu Ming, "Grandpa, I brought her here. Why do you want little Xiezhi?"

Taoist Zhu Ming looked at Jue Lei Zi, and Jue Lei Zi immediately said, "I just want to use Xie Zhi's supernatural powers to distinguish the real from the fake."

The girl looked at Jue Leizi, then at Zhang Wei.Then he showed a contemptuous look to Zhang Wei, and said, "Then you all come here."

Several people entered the room.The girl put Xiezhi on the table and said, "Little Xiezhi, it's time to work."

Then she said: "Just point out the person you want to distinguish, and then ask them. If that person tells a lie, the horns on Xiao Xiezhi's head will grow."

Taoist Zhu Ming nodded to Jue Leizi, and Jue Leizi said, "It's him who asked." He pointed to Zhang Wei.Zhang Wei quickly sat down.

Then Jue Leizi said: "Dare to ask if Ao Qinghu was killed by you."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Wei said, "No."

Everyone looked at Xiezhi, and Xiezhi also stared at Zhang Wei with wide eyes, but there was no change.

The horns on his head were still short and small, without any change.

Then, Jue Leizi asked the second question: "Then Ao Qinghu was not killed by you, did you bribe others, or ordered others to kill him?"

Zhang Wei continued to answer: "No."

Everyone looked at Xiezhi again, Xiezhi was a little sleepy at this time, opened his mouth wide and yawned, as if bored.

His horn still hasn't changed, what Zhang Wei said is true.

Jue Leizi asked again: "Then, do you know, or know the person who killed Ao Qinghu?"

Zhang Wei shook his head again: "I don't know."

This time, Xiezhi's horns did not change, but Xiezhi lay down on his stomach, his eyes narrowed.

The girl said: "Little Xiezhi is still young, and he can only use his supernatural powers three times a day. If he exceeds it, he will be very tired. You can see that he is asleep now."

Jue Leizi also nodded and said, "I've finished asking."

He was still quite satisfied with the answer.

Zhang Wei was also amazed when he saw this little thing.This is the perfect lie detector, if it can reproduce and grow, there will be no unjust, false and wrong cases in this world.

He couldn't help asking, "Can I touch him?"

The girl glanced at him, rolled her eyes and said, "Anyone with bad intentions will be kicked if he touches him. If you are not afraid of pain, you can try it."

Although Zhang Wei passed the test, the little girl felt that he must be a person with evil intentions, otherwise why would he be pulled to be tested by Xiezhi.

After Zhang Wei heard this, he didn't know whether he should touch it or not.Who doesn't have a dark heart? It's a shame to be kicked, and it's a shame to be called a person with evil intentions.

This is a baby, and it is also a baby that is not easy to provoke. I didn't see that Taoist Zhu Ming didn't hug him, but let this girl hug him.

Immediately, Jue Leizi wrote a handwritten letter, handed it over to the mountain temple, and started the process.

I just borrowed Xiezhi privately, and now I borrowed Xiechi from the Temple of Mount Tai in the name of the Qingwei Sect.

If it's a business-to-business, it needs to go through the process, and it won't be completed in a few days. This is the result of the greetings that have been made in advance.

For the past few days, Zhang Wei and Jue Leizi lived in the Mount Tai Temple.Jue Leizi gave him three purple talismans and said, "This is the thunder talisman of the Great Dao Cave God. Go and give it to Taoist Zhu Ming as a thank you."

Zhang Wei knew that this was the price of the PY deal.This is the gift of thanks.

Then he heard Jue Leizi say: "That little Qingqing girl is a relative of Daoist Zhu Ming's secular family. You have just entered Taoism not long ago, and you also gave me a bottle of Huangya Pill."

Zhang Wei nodded, took the things and went to find Taoist Zhu Ming.

After Taoist Zhu Ming knew his intention, he said, "I will keep this talisman, and you can give this elixir to Qingqing yourself."

Zhang Wei had no choice but to take the things to Qingqing's place.

Miss Qingqing and Little Xiezhi are inseparable, and every time she sees Little Xiezhi, she finds that he is eating that kind of green grass.

Zhang Wei explained his purpose and handed over the yellow bud pill.

Unexpectedly, the little girl shook her head and said: "You are showing courtesy for nothing, you are either rape or steal!"

Zhang Wei had no choice but to say: "How can this be either rape or theft? This is just a gift between friends."

The little girl shook her head, deeply guarded against Zhang Wei: "I'm not your friend."

Zhang Wei continued: "If you accept my gift, we are now friends."

The little girl still shook her head and said, "That's not okay. If I accept your gift, I will accept your love. I can't keep the fairness in my heart. Little Xiezhi will hate me!"

This is the scruples in the little girl's heart.Zhang Wei couldn't help it now.He looked at the grass Xiao Xiezhi was eating, and suddenly said, "What kind of grass did you feed him? It looks familiar."

The little girl said: "This is the millet stalk from Mount Tai. After the millet is harvested, the rest is this grass. Little Xiezhi likes to eat it very much."

It turned out to be the straw of millet, no wonder it looks familiar, it looks very much like dogtail grass.Millet was originally bred from dogtail grass.

But this grass is not an ordinary grass, it is a spiritual grass produced from the cave of Mount Tai. The cave of Mount Tai is the divine domain opened up by the Lord of Mount Tai in Mount Tai.

In this cave, there are various spirit herbs and medicines planted.Among them is millet.

Zhang Wei thought for a while and said, "Can you give me some straws? I'm an alchemist. If possible, I can help Xiezhi make some pills."

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, the girl took a look at Xiezhi, and found that Xiezhi's horns had not elongated, so she nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhang Wei was taken aback for a moment, unknowingly, Xiezhi recognized him again.

Xie Zhi proved Zhang Wei's words, indicating that Zhang Wei did not want the straw to be used for other purposes.So the little girl brought a lot of straw and said: "I have a lot here, and you can't get enough."

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "I still need an alchemy furnace, do you have an alchemy furnace?"

The girl thought for a while and said: "We seem to have it. There was a master uncle who vowed to learn alchemy and bought one himself. But later he failed, and the alchemy furnace was stored in the warehouse. You carry it out."

As the little girl spoke, she asked the Taoist priests in the temple to dig out the alchemy stove in the storeroom and wash it, and brought it to Zhang Wei.
