Taishang Immortal Brigade

Chapter 11
One day, Xia He practiced the Sutra of Extermination of Dao in his room. In addition to the practice methods mentioned in the scriptures, there are many records of practice experience in the conch shell. Xia He confirmed these experiences with his own practice, and the progress of practice has been very smooth. , coupled with the inexhaustible spiritual energy provided by the best spirit stone, he has now touched the threshold of the seventh level of Qi refining.

Withdrawing his efforts and stopping his cultivation, Xia He thought in his heart that he would go to the backyard to find out what happened tonight. Suddenly there was a violent vibration in the mansion, which came from the direction of the backyard. Xia He knew that it was the place where the soul of the earth was The first earthquake was only a short moment, but this one was louder and lasted for a long time.

Hearing the commotion of people in the whole house, Xia He knew that something serious must have happened, even if Lu Shangshu wanted to hide a secret, he couldn't hide it now, so he walked out of the room quickly.

At this time, Hu Kaishan was already walking towards the backyard with the guard, Xia He called Hu Kaishan, "Hu Nuyuan, what's going on, are you going to the backyard?"

Seeing Xia He, Hu Kaishan no longer had the unruly expression before, and said respectfully, "Young Master Xia, there may be a big accident in the backyard. Our nursing home is usually not allowed to enter the backyard, but we can act in a hurry when there is a big incident. Our brother is about to Go help, I don't know you..."

Xia He nodded, "I will go with you, you lead the way."

"Okay." Hu Kaishan agreed, and quietly moved out of the way, giving Xia He the front seat.

Xia He walked to the backyard, and saw panic-stricken servants and weeping maids running around, some seemed to be injured with blood on their heads, some seemed to be burnt, with smoky marks on their bodies, He grabbed an elderly servant, "What's going on? Tell me quickly."

When the servant saw Xia He and the large group of guards coming, he said hurriedly, as if a drowning person had been rescued, "The rockery... the old lady is crazy. He said he wanted to make alchemy, but he was struck by lightning."

Upon hearing this, Xia He asked Hu Kaishan, "Where is the rockery?"

Hu Kaishan pointed in a direction, Xiahe's light body technique moved, Hu Kaishan and his servants only felt a blue shadow flash in front of them, and Xiahe disappeared without a trace, only the servants and maids were crying and running around.

When he walked to the rockery, Xia He saw a gap in the rockery that was blown open, revealing the entrance of the black tunnel. Xia He sniffed it, and smelled a strong smell of lead and mercury from the tunnel entrance, and knew that the alchemy site of the old man in Lu's mansion was in the tunnel.

Looking around, no one dared to enter the tunnel. Xia He thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he would not be able to enter the backyard in normal times, so he bent down and entered the tunnel entrance.

The tunnel is very dark, and the thick smoke billowing in the face is full of lead and mercury. Ordinary people will definitely be poisoned if they smell it, but Xiahe has the five elements in him, which can easily transform the poison of lead and mercury into gold gas.

Soon Xiahe saw the light ahead, and knew that the end of the tunnel had come. Sure enough, Xiahe saw the end of the thick smoke, a huge copper furnace slanted on the ground, which is the most commonly used shape of the cauldron for Taoist alchemy in the rivers and lakes. , Billowing thick smoke came out of the octagonal window.

An old man with gray beard and hair covered in smoke was sitting on the ground, crying and laughing at the same time, "My God, my golden elixir, my great cause of cultivating immortals." Even Xia He didn't respond when he walked up to him.

Xia He knew that this crazy old man was the old man of the Lu Mansion, Lu Shangshu's father, an old man who was obsessed with cultivating Taoism, and he was a genuine immortal cultivator. It could be seen that the old man Lu did not have any knowledge about cultivating immortals at all, and he was just a patchwork of things. It's no wonder that the things of quacks will fail.

The warlocks of the rivers and lakes believe that if gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, hardware, lead and mercury are put into a cauldron for refining, after seventy-seven forty-nine or ninety-nine and eighty-one days, a golden elixir can be refined, and a mortal can ascend to immortality after taking the immortality of the flesh. It is for Wai Dan practice method.

Xia He is a cultivator of immortality, so he scoffed at this kind of statement. It is true that cultivators of immortality have alchemy, most of which are used to heal injuries and regain energy, but there is absolutely no one who can ascend to immortality by eating one pill.

The soul of the earth is in this secret room. The secret room is not too big or small, but it is full of messy ores and all kinds of alchemy waste. It will take a long time to find the soul of the earth from these piles of garbage. Time, Xia He is not sure to do it before someone comes to the secret room.

Looking at the old man Lu who was full of sorrow and joy, Xia He's heart moved, why not use his identity as a cultivator to frighten him, and shouted loudly, "Ordinary people also want to cultivate Taoism and become immortals. It is stupid to seek the Tao."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu stood up abruptly, "I, Lu Shixun, practiced the righteous way, and the Waidan cultivation method is the orthodox Taoism. The failure now is just bad luck. Who are you, dare to criticize me."

Xia He looked at the fallen copper furnace with disdain, waved his left hand, and the inner five elements circulated, and the power of the five elements' gold was attracted from the air, and the copper furnace weighing a thousand catties was suspended in the air.

Seeing Xia He's miraculous technique, Old Master Lu's eyes widened in shock. This is also his background as a literati, and he has never seen the magic of a congenital master, otherwise he would not be so surprised.

Xiahe's hands slowly overflowed with golden light, the inner five elements are still very weak, and it is not enough to lift the heavy copper furnace in the air, he can only mobilize the golden light from the ground to fix the copper furnace in the air.

Then Xia He turned his hand, and the bulky copper furnace flew to Xia He like a bird, pressed his hand on the copper furnace, and the inner five elements circulated crazily, absorbing all the gold gas in the copper furnace, and the copper furnace turned into sand grains Strands fell to the ground.

Grandpa Lu looked at it, and without being surprised, bowed to Xia He, "The immortal has manifested, and I beg the immortal to be merciful and show me the next two, this is the method of cultivating immortals and longevity."

Xia He thought to himself, I haven't achieved immortality yet, you old man, you still want me to give you some advice, so let's just talk nonsense and fool you.Immediately helped Mrs. Lu up, and said politely, "Fellow Taoist, you don't have to be like this. You and I are all cultivators, regardless of each other. The difference is that you practice the method of outer alchemy, and I practice the method of inner alchemy. They both lead to the same goal by different routes. Famen, why give me some pointers."

Old Master Lu said with a sad face, "To tell you the truth, I have been cultivating Taoism for 20 years, and I want to refine it into a golden elixir so that I can lead everyone in my family to escape from the sea of ​​suffering in this world and ascend to the fairyland of bliss. Friends, you can teach me a thing or two."

Xia He said eloquently, "Cultivation of the Dao is all about persistence. Our inner alchemy practice method can only be obtained step by step, while the outer alchemy practice method is to cultivate a golden alchemy after tens of thousands of efforts. Dan Dacheng, that is the Dao fruit of ascending to immortality."

Old Mrs. Lu nodded and said, "I understand, thank you fellow daoist for your guidance. I can't repay you, but I can only wish you a great success in cultivation and ascend to immortality as soon as possible."

Xia He thought of the Soul of Earth Xing, and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Fellow Daoist, I have something to ask."

Old Master Lu asked, "Fellow Daoist, please speak clearly."

Xia He said calmly, "I recently cultivated a magic weapon and needed a material. I searched all over the world next week but found nothing. I heard the news that fellow Taoists have the material I want here."

Old Mrs. Lu said, "The old man has a lot of money, and he has collected a lot of materials for cultivating immortals. Fellow Taoists can take whatever they want."

Xia He said, "The thing I want is full of precious light. It looks good, but it's not very useful." This is Xia He's compilation based on the characteristics of golden light. The precious light is overflowing, and it is useless for mortals to obtain it, and Mrs. Lu is not an innate master, so he can't sacrifice blood, so naturally he can't discover the magical effect of the soul of the five elements.

Old Mrs. Lu was very familiar with the materials in his secret room. He bent down and picked out a lot of precious things, most of them were gems.

Xia He saw at a glance that a gemstone in Old Master Lu's hand was emitting muddy light with seven colors. Although the appearance of the gemstone was not good, Xia He could clearly sense the soul of earth within the gemstone.

Picking out the gem that contains the soul of the earth, Xia He thanked Mrs. Lu, "Thank you, fellow daoist, this stone is just right."

Old Mrs. Lu said politely, "Fellow Daoist, why not pick up a few more dollars. I won't need these things for a while, so I'll leave them to you."

Xia He waved his hand, "That's enough, the fate between me and fellow Taoist is over, this stone will be regarded as a parting gift."

Mrs. Lu had finally met Xia He, a "fellow of the same kind", so he was not willing to let it go easily, and said persuadingly, "Fellow Daoist, why not stay for a few more days, so I can ask fellow Daoist for advice."

Xia He said, "No need, our fate is over, we will meet again in the future if we are destined, fellow daoists, take care, I'm going."

Xia He rushed out of the tunnel, already heard the sound of chaotic footsteps coming towards the rockery, and knew that he had to leave before the visitors arrived, so he flew away.

At this time, a loud laugh came from above the Lu residence, and a shrill voice resounded throughout the residence, "Lu Shangshu, come out for me, I am here to take the lives of your family."

Xia He raised his eyes and saw a figure standing in the middle of the roof of the main hall of Lu Mansion, wearing black clothes and boots, black gold soft armor on the shoulders, chest and abdomen, and a pointed steel helmet on his head, with a proud posture. The words just now came from What he said, everyone must be the enemy that Lu Shangshu said.

The butler Lao Qiu's old voice sounded, "Hu Nuyuan, come quickly and bring someone to protect the family in the backyard. Mr. Xia, please come to the main hall to protect the master."

Xia He tapped his toes, lifted his light body technique off the ground, and jumped several times on the high walls of the Lu Mansion, in an extremely chic and graceful posture, and finally jumped up, like an egret soaring into the sky, onto the edge of the roof of the main hall, and The mysterious man stood opposite him.

The mysterious man's face was livid, and his exposed hands were also livid. Xia He recalled that the unknown soldiers who protected Nie Tianzong on Baima Street had the same complexion. He wondered what the relationship between the mysterious man and Nie Tianzong was.

"Who are you?" The mysterious man looked at Xia He, and his voice was like a golden bowl and copper gong hitting each other, sharp and piercing, making it uncomfortable to hear.

"Guardian Xia He." Xia He looked at the mysterious man in front of him, the aura of the mysterious man was restrained, and he couldn't see the details of the other party for a while, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Unknown, troublesome, go forward and die." The mysterious man jumped up, bringing the stench that filled the sky, like a bad wind, and swept towards Xiahe.
