168. Immortal ghosts come to the door (1)
On August 24, 2010, the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, the Zhongyuan Festival, just after midnight, someone lit a fire at the intersection near No. 162, burned paper money for their deceased relatives.
After a busy day, except for Luo Kang and Lin Zi, the others had already returned to their respective rooms to sleep. Looking at the fire outside the window and the backs of people, an inexplicable sadness quietly surged into the hearts of the two.
Luo Kang said foolishly: "Master Xue, Zhuge Yun, Chen Zhiyu,... They left me in less than two months. Maybe this is what Zhuge Yun said about gains and losses!"
Lin Zi hugged Luo Kang from behind and said, "I know you have tried your best. Maybe it's the intuition of women. I believe they will definitely come back to us, just like you found me back."
Luo Kang turned around, slowly hugged Lin Zi in his arms, and kissed him affectionately...
Accompanied by the smell of agarwood and the warmth of the rising sun, Luo Kang and Lin Zi opened their sleepy eyes. After washing in the bathroom in the bedroom, they walked out of the room and saw that others had already sat around the temporary dining table in the workshop to enjoy delicious food.
"Why did you two get up? Come down and have breakfast! These are all bought by Xiao Gan early in the morning." Zhang Yiyi shouted loudly when she saw the two of them.
Luo Kang and Lin Zi walked down the stairs shyly, deliberately avoiding everyone's meaningful gazes, and had not spoken for a long time.
"It is normal for men to love women to love, not to mention that you are about to get married, so what's wrong with you?" Liu Ling, who was drunk early in the morning, said what everyone wanted to say.
Lin Zi's face suddenly turned red. Just as he was about to get up to teach this disrespectful wine fairy a lesson, suddenly there was a sudden sound from the ceiling of the room, which caused everyone to look up. He saw a big bird with snow-white body with sharp beaks and feathers hovering above their heads.
Although this bird does not have the momentum of a king of birds like a phoenix, its elegant posture is enough to make people amazed. Looking at its whole body, its only flaw is that it only has one foot.
"Isn't this the Bifang bird that burned the Zhenwu Palace in Hanwang Town?" Luo Kang shouted deliberately, while surprised, and did not forget to divert everyone's attention and relieve the embarrassing Lin Zi.
Bifang's divine bird looked down when he heard the sound. Seeing that the person who spoke was the one who had beaten him, he was so scared that he was out of control, his wings were stiff, and after a violent sway, he almost fell down.
It didn't matter when it flickered, but a man rolled down from its back and slammed straight on the ground of the workshop.
"It hurts so much! Xiao Fangfang, if I sleep on your back for a while, can't you fly a little more steadily?" The man covered his head and scolded loudly.
Bifang's divine bird found out that he had caused trouble and hurriedly fell beside the man. Then he turned into a fat boy in a Taoist robe and knelt down on one knee and said, "The disciple knew he was wrong, please ask Emperor Zhenwu to punish him."
When Luo Kang heard this, he realized that the True God had arrived. He hurriedly ran forward, bowed and said, "Luo Kang, the villain's tenth palace, was ordered by the Lord of Taishan Palace, and was here to wait for the Grand Emperor, and asked Emperor Zhenwu to go upstairs to rest."
Emperor Zhenwu used floating dust to clean the dust on his Taoist robe, raised his hand and stroked his beard and smiled: "Lu Dongbin told me that this place is your own home. It is rude that we are visiting rashly, so don't be so polite."
While the two were polite, a few sudden sounds suddenly appeared everywhere on the first floor. Ziyang Zhenren Zhang Boduan, Huanglong Zen Master, Dongyue Emperor Huang Feihu, and Taishan Mansion Lord Lu Dongbin followed one after another.
The drunk Liu Ling treated herself as her master and stood up to greet the bosses.
After several big shots went upstairs to sit down, Xiao Gan put 10 takeout buckets on the table.
Looking at the somewhat at a loss of time, Lu Dongbin said, "I accidentally ate the food from this world here yesterday. I felt it was a different taste. I thought you were tired of drinking nectar and jade liquid and had enough of the jade plate delicacies. So I had an idea to hold a banquet with Luo Kang's treasure land and invite you to come and taste it."
When Huang Feihu heard this, he took the lead in picking up a spicy wing and gnawing: "It's really good, the Lord of the Mansion has taken this effort!"
Seeing that Huang Feihu was having a good time, the others started eating.
"Although this food tastes good, the selection of materials is not satisfactory, which is probably not conducive to cultivation!" Emperor Zhenwu said as he chewed the chicken legs.
Because Master Huanglong was a Buddhist and could not eat meat, he took a small sip of happy water and said, "The Ziyang Zhenren is called the King of Alchemy in the Siku Quanshu. Even if the ingredients are not good, I believe that the real person has a way to condition and replenish it!"
Ziyang Zhenren smiled and said, "The "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor" says: "The food is full of grain, meat, fruit, vegetables, and food, and you will not be too much, which will hurt the right things. Using food to nourish the food is much safer and more reliable than taking medicine. These things in front of you are heavy and greasy. If you are accompanied by hawthorn and licorice, it may achieve the effect of harming yin and yang."
Emperor Zhenwu clapped his hands and said, "The real person is indeed very knowledgeable in the Five Vehicles. No wonder, except Laojun, you can only practice the Nine-Turn Golden Pill in this world!"
When Zhenren Zi Yang heard this, his face suddenly became much ugly. The Nine-Turning Golden Elixir mentioned by Emperor Zhenwu is a state that a practitioner can reach by using his own body as a furnace and absorbing the essence of heaven and earth all year round.
Before the Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace was destroyed by the Fighting Conquer Buddha, the above effects can be achieved, so that this state can be saved in the form of elixirs. Because the operation is not difficult and the materials are not rare, the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is not a rare thing.
However, after the alchemy furnace was destroyed, it was difficult to practice this kind of elixir. Even as the king of the alchemy, Zi Yang, has only practiced two for more than a thousand years.
The author of "Lin'an Zhi" Qian Shuoyou offended the traitor Jia Sidao during his lifetime. After his death, his tomb was filled with a large amount of mercury by Jia Sidao's descendants, which made the soul of Qian Shuoyou unable to be reborn. After learning about this, Ziyang Zhenren put a Nine-Turn Golden Pill into Qian Shuoyou's tomb to help him rebirth in the Heavenly Dao. The other one lied that he had taken it, but in fact he secretly gave it to his good friend Jia Meng Zhenren.
Ziyang Zhenren smiled flatteringly and said, "The Nine-Turning Golden Pill is just a chance to obtain, but it is hard to find. It is far less than the many disciples and believers of the Emperor's disciples. The continuous offerings are affordable. Even the mount is so full of energy."
Seeing that the two of them were not scheming, Zen Master Huanglong hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Today, I was invited by the Lord of the Mansion and held a banquet. We can only gather here. But I think the Lord of the Mansion should have important things to give, right?"
