Our cultivator in the village

Chapter 27 Old things

Chapter 27 Old things
Go back in time to 50 years ago.

At that time, Elder Tianxin was still practicing in Yuqing Palace, his name was "Chongzheng", and Chongxu was his elder brother.

Chongzheng learned everything, especially the alchemy method was taught by Chongxu.In the Taoist sect, senior brother is like an elder brother, Chongzheng's parents have long since passed away, the so-called elder brother is like a father, the friendship between Chongxu and him has already surpassed that of ordinary fellow disciples.

Chongzheng has always been obedient to this senior brother, and has never thought of disobeying his senior brother.

Except for Junior Sister Ling Jue.

Ling Jue entered Yuqing Palace later than Chongzheng, and Chongzheng bought her at the foot of the mountain.

That year, the Tongtian River suffered from floods, and the embankment broke down from Tongzhou area. This is a road with no end in sight.

In an open space on the outskirts of Yuezhou, tens of thousands of disaster victims gathered, and the government government also sealed off the city.

It is late July at this moment, when the heat is unbearable, the victims of the disaster gather together, and the black and white area is full of people, with constant ups and downs of cries, quarrels, and groans; the smell of feet, sweat, and vomit The smell is mixed together, and I can't tell what it is.Flies were flying everywhere, bedbugs were crawling everywhere, and several dead bodies were left nearby to stink before being dragged to the incinerator.

Several wild dogs stuck out their tongues hoarsely, circled around the dead body, and ran away with a howl when they saw the man.

The wild dogs are very smart, knowing that they are caught, they don't even put the onion, ginger and garlic, and cook them directly.

This situation is unbearable even if the cultivation is successful.He came here to buy someone under the order of his master.Daoism also needs handymen. If there are children with acceptable qualifications, buying them is also a way for others to survive.Chongzheng made his selection slowly, and after a while, he led a few children. There were those whose parents died and uncles who sold out their nephews, and those who sold themselves, hoping to be servants to rich families, so he accepted a few well-behaved ones.

At this time, he saw Ling Jue, and she was not by that name at this time.

A sallow and emaciated child with straw marks on his head, saw Chongzheng approaching, immediately hid in his parents' arms in fright, clasped his little hands, and cried hoarsely: "Dad, don't sell me! I won't go away!" , I can tie flowers and make straw sandals, and I can go begging in the future...Dad...you don't feel sorry for me...don't sell me..." Weeping and pulling the old man's hair.

Chongzheng has seen this kind of tragedy a lot. If there is a slight possibility, who is willing to sell his own children?

The old man hugged the dying old lady, and there was a boy who didn't know whether he was dead or alive under his feet. His lips trembled and he couldn't say a word for a long time, and he trembled after receiving the money.

Chongzheng took Ling Jue away, and Ling Jue bit her body like a mad dog.

Chongzheng couldn't resist it with true energy, leaving a series of blood-red teeth marks on one arm.

After arriving at Yuqing Palace, Ling Jue didn't eat all day.She has always hated Chongzheng for buying her, causing her to not be with her parents, so she never gave Chongzheng a good face.

Until one day, this day happened to be the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Ling Jue made a small achievement in using cinnamon sand to draw a big talisman. It turned into a big "Fu" character, which flickered for a moment, then burst in the air, turning into colorful dots and dissipating in the night sky.

She said to Zheng Zheng: "When I was a child, the word "Fu" was hung at home during the Chinese New Year, and it was hung upside down, which means that blessings have arrived."

Chongzheng smiled and said: "Good talisman, you set it off as fireworks, let's see how senior brother Chongxu will punish you later."

Ling Jue said: "Brother Chongzheng, in fact, I don't hate you a long time ago. I'm not a fool. If you didn't buy me, others would buy me." She turned her head to Chongzheng with a sad smile, and said, "Maybe no one will buy me." Me, I'm starving to death."

At this moment, Chongzheng looked at Ling Jue, and suddenly felt that this thin and weak junior sister was actually very good-looking.

In the realm of self-cultivation, the lifespan of a self-cultivation person far exceeds that of ordinary people, and it is not uncommon for a person with a high level of cultivation to live to be hundreds of years old. In addition, many self-cultivation people have practiced the art of retaining the face, and some centenarians have almost the same face as ordinary middle-aged people. .Cultivators seek the Tao wholeheartedly, and a retreat often lasts for several years or even more than ten years. Therefore, marriage and childbirth in the cultivation world are very different from ordinary customs. There are many things like "eighteen brides and eighty husbands, and a pear tree crushing begonias".Like Daoist Qingxuan, who is more than a hundred years old, but a daughter is just seventeen years old, this is very strange in the world, but it is common in the world of self-cultivation.

Chongzheng likes Junior Sister, but he didn't expect that Senior Brother Chongxu also liked this outstanding Junior Sister.

But Junior Sister only likes one person, and she is going to accompany him to fly a kite.

The next day, Chongzheng excitedly ran to see his senior brother. He felt that he should share with his senior brother if he had something good to say.Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Chongxu just passed by with a smile on his face, and he said rightly:
"Junior Brother, Senior Brother has something very happy to tell you."

"Brother, I have one too."

"You speak first!"

"You speak first!"

Chongxu said: "Senior brother, you are welcome." He leaned against an osmanthus tree in the courtyard, held a osmanthus branch in his hand, slowly savored the fragrance of osmanthus, and said: "Senior brother, senior brother has already I'm over 70. According to the age of cultivation, senior brother should find a Taoist companion to cultivate together and prove the Tao together. Senior brother used to have shallow eyelids and was not suitable for anyone, but now senior brother finally sees where his heart belongs."

Chongzheng's heart sank suddenly, and he asked softly, "Who is it?"

"Junior Sister Ling Jue." Chongxu couldn't restrain the joy in his heart, the corners of his mouth curved into an arc, and said: "Although Junior Sister has a weird temper, but Senior Brother looks at her, and for some reason, Senior Brother feels peace in his heart , happy in my heart. I just want to tell her everything, and then take her to do things that she never dared to do, such as catching fish, making a big flower basket, or flying a kite." He suddenly smiled sweetly: "How about flying a kite? This autumn is a good season for flying a kite!"

Chongzheng's heart sank deeper and deeper, and he quietly asked: "Isn't this exactly what I was thinking?"

The taciturn Chongxu talked with Chongzheng for a long time as if he had started a chatterbox.

Finally, Chongxu woke up like a dream, and then remembered to ask: "Junior Brother, didn't you say that you have something nice to tell Senior Brother? What is it?"

Chongzheng blushed, and it took him a long time to say: "Xiao Liangzi told me that the old sow he raised gave birth to a litter of eight!"

This matter was kept secret, but in the end it was exposed by Ling Jue's words.

One day, Taoist Chongxu plucked up the courage to confess to his junior sister, but what he got in return was a firm sentence:
"I won't be your Taoist companion, I just like to be a senior brother, and I will be his Taoist companion."

Ling Jue said it word by word with a sullen face.

Chongxu was so angry that his whole body trembled, he stared into Ling Jue's eyes and roared angrily: "As long as I stay here in Yuqing Palace for one day, you two cannot be together."

In the end, it all ended with a competition of alchemy between the brothers and sisters.

No matter how much Chongzheng begged, Chongxu just said coldly: "If you win, you will take my junior sister away; if you lose, you will go alone! Anyway, you have to go!" The last sentence, he was also a Word by word squeezed out from between the teeth.

Chongzheng cried: "Senior brother, don't drive me away, I have been in Yuqing Palace since I was a child, where can I go?"

Seeing that his senior brother still didn't answer, he said again: "I'll give you my little junior sister, don't drive me away!"

Chongxu didn't listen, but when he heard it, he got angry and shouted: "I am a dignified disciple of the Yuqing Palace supervisor, how can I accept your charity! Junior sister has affection and righteousness for me, if you say such unfeeling words, It was you who provoked me from behind."

His eyes were like knives, scraping back and forth on Chongzheng's face, and said softly: "Once these words come out, it will be the time for us to end our friendship!"

Poor Junior Sister Ling Jue, who is standing outside the door with a kite that has just been pasted.She has practiced talismans for more than [-] years, and her ears have been repaired to the point where mosquitoes and flies fall to the ground to listen to their sounds.

Chongzheng's unfeeling words made her feel like thunder, she stayed for a while, rubbed her hands together, and the newly pasted kite turned into pieces of confetti and was blown far away by the evening wind.

On the day of the alchemy competition, the master uncle in charge of the alchemy hall of Yuqing Palace sighed and asked in a low voice: "Do you have to compare?"

Chong Xu nodded.

Elder Dantang then took out a silver bottle, shook it, and took out a note that was one finger wide. words.

Elder Dantang smiled wryly, even in Yuqing Palace, no one has ever refined this elixir, and naturally no one has ever refined it.

This Unfeeling Pill is a taboo in the alchemy, I heard that after taking this Unfeeling Pill, both men and women will forget all the lust in the world, become like a haggard tree, and their hearts are like ashes, and they will no longer be interested in the affairs of men and women.In addition to punishing some disciples who violated the precepts, it is more used by some cultivation powers before hitting the highest level and retreating to death, in order to prevent the demons from attacking at critical moments.If the advancement is successful, other pills can be used to gradually remove the toxicity of this pill. If the advancement fails, there is no difference between taking the medicine and not taking it under the thunder of the demon.

Chong Xu smiled and said: "This test question is well done. Both my junior and I have never refined the Unfeeling Pill. Today we use 'Unfeeling' as the test question, and there is a deep meaning in it."

Chongxu today's diary must be obtained, he slapped the alchemy furnace and said:

"Dongjiao cinnabar spit out brocade clouds, tortoise hair lead color is swaying."

"I came to Income County Fetal Ding and refined it until Hongmeng did not dissect it."

After finishing speaking, Taoist Chongxu caressed the hearth with both hands, the golden core in his stomach trembled violently, and a spiritual fire came out from his palms for more than two feet.

Immediately, the fire in the alchemy furnace was raging, burning the newly added rootless water, heartbroken grass, hyacinth and other herbs.Visible to the naked eye, all kinds of herbs have been integrated with the rootless water, and a scent of dandelion slowly wafts out.

The spiritual fire used by Taoist Chongxu is transformed from the six yin true qi in his body. It looks like a blazing flame, but it is only practiced by the water method, first soaked and then soaked. After adding the Bana flower, it will be refined by the water flying method After three hours, it will naturally become a pill.

Chongxu alchemy is seventh grade, Chongzheng is only sixth grade, and the technique is only a bit behind the senior brother.He had no intention of fighting at first, but now it was as if he had taken the Unfeeling Pill, without any desire to win, and without any confidence at all, he just followed his senior brother step by step, tremblingly adding one and one ingredient, until the four main ingredients were added, It also stimulated the dantian spiritual fire, but it was a bunch of green flames with wood attributes. The flames flinched and began to refine this unfeeling pill.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that Taoist Chongzheng will definitely lose in this alchemy, no matter in terms of momentum or alchemy.

Taoist Chongxu observed the fire carefully. Three hours later, the pill furnace was agitated, and a puff of white smoke spewed out from the upper air hole, whining.

Knowing that the Unfeeling Pill has been completed, Chongxu laughed and wanted to uncover the pill furnace.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the side of the pill furnace, he heard a loud bang, the roof of the pill furnace was lifted several tens of feet high, then the pill furnace shook for a while, creaked and scattered into several pieces and fell to the ground.

Taoist Chongxu yelled, spat out a mouthful of blood, stood up unsteadily, pointed at Chongzheng, fell down again without saying a word.These Jindan masters are in alchemy, a ray of alchemy fire is connecting with Chongxu's original essence, and the alchemy furnace has become a part of the body.Once the alchemy furnace explodes, the Chongxu Golden Elixir will inevitably be damaged. If you want to restore the original state, you may have to practice hard for decades.

At this time, the pill furnace that was rushing to the center was also shaking for a while, with a strange fragrance, and a burst of green energy emerged from the top of the pill furnace, with a buzzing sound, which lasted for a long time.

Then someone opened the cauldron and saw that a spirit pill was as round as pearls and jade, with red light shining, and three faint patterns of pills circled around the pill, like a wandering dragon, about to leave the pill.

Pill is only a mysterious grade, but it is the sixth grade with three patterns.

After ordinary pills are refined, there will be no lines on them.This pattern is the embodiment of the inner essence of the panacea and its extremely high quality.The first pattern is the red pattern, the second pattern is the golden pattern, and the third pattern is the purple pattern.Every time a line is added, the level of the panacea will increase by one level.Due to the limitation of the material, the yellow-rank panacea generally does not have purple patterns. The success of the pill is the first rank;

Those above the ninth grade are called immortal grades, which are no longer owned by the world.

When everyone was in a panic, a woman in Tsing Yi looked up to the sky and smiled, rushed forward, stretched out a slender hand, snatched the Heartless Pill, smiled miserably at everyone, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Everyone was extremely astonished, even Chongxu who fell on the ground yelled: "No!"

Junior Sister Ling Jue said darkly: "None of you won, you all lost."
