My Journey to the West on the Heavenly Road

Chapter 159 The Origin of Fang Ding
"This alchemy is enough to exchange for my Wannian Chun."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, the old man with golden pupils nodded, and then looked at Ling Zhi: "Disciple, go to the back garden and pick a flower for this little friend."

"As ordered."

Daoist Qingjun took the order to leave, Jiang Yuan was taken aback, this is it?

He thought it would take some effort, and he was even mentally prepared to return in vain, but he didn't want it to go so smoothly.

Jiang Yuan looked at the round, golden Chi Dan with golden thread and tiger stripes in his hand, and tentatively asked: "Senior, I don't know what this 'Fa Dan' is?"

The old man with golden eyes raised his eyelids and was about to speak when the fire in the alchemy furnace suddenly flickered.

The other four old immortals immediately sat up straight, or waved their whisks to send pieces of green energy into the alchemy furnace, or squeezed spells with their hands, and drank sharply in their mouths, or took a medicine bag from their bodies and threw it into the alchemy furnace. herbs.

"Wait, go out and wait for the psychic disciple."

As soon as the golden-eyed old man waved his hand, an invisible force pushed Jiang Yuan and Ma Ying out of the alchemy room.

The moment the door was closed, Jiang Yuan saw the old man staring at the golden light and issuing orders, and the fire in the furnace moved in response to the sound, as if a spirit in the fire was obeying the old man's control.

The colorful clouds and rays of light lingering on the alchemy room also caused ripples due to the change of the alchemy furnace.

A wisp of clouds fluttered down and landed on Jiang Yuan and the two of them, and an indescribable fragrance hit them immediately.It's like a medicinal fragrance, but it also seems to be angry, and there is a kind of grassy and clear air.

The alchemy room shook for a few breaths, then regained its calm, but the door did not open again.

"That's Senior Jindanxian." Ma Ying leaned over and whispered.

Jiang Yuan withdrew his gaze from looking up at Danfang Yunxia, ​​raised the tiger pill in his hand, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yuyuan, have you heard of Fa Dan?"

The reason why Jiang Yuan took out the Tiger Pill was, of course, to exchange for Wannianchun, and secondly, to find out the origin of Fangfang Ding.

It's a pity, seeing the changes in the alchemy furnace, I'm afraid that Wu Laoxian's alchemy has reached a critical juncture, and he has no time to give him advice in a short time.

Ma Ying looked at Hu Dan, thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's the first time I've heard such a saying. I'll ask Brother Lingzhi later."

As soon as he said that, Lingzhi walked over with a jade box in one hand, and when he saw the two standing outside the alchemy room, he immediately smiled: "You two don't mind, our brothers are often kicked out of the alchemy room suddenly by the master." .”

Jiang Yuan pointed to the alchemy room, and asked curiously, "Will this furnace of alchemy last for a long time?"

Lingzhi smiled and said, "I have practiced for three years, and I need another three years."

Jiang Yuan clicked his tongue, completely gave up the idea of ​​asking the five old immortals, and turned to ask the gnosis in front of him: "Daoist friend, what is the meaning of this magic pill?"

Ling Zhi wondered: "Isn't this the pill of fellow daoist, fellow daoist, don't you know?"

Jiang Yuan said: "I got it by accident, I didn't refine it myself."

Lingzhi looked at Jiang Yuan and smiled, but didn't go into details, so he pointed out:
"Fellow daoist, you should know magic tools, right? This magic pill is said to be a pill, but it is actually the same as magic tools. Magic tools use spells to drive spells, and magic pills can be used immediately after taking it."

"So that's how it is." Jiang Yuan suddenly understood.

Lingzhi then said again: "However, the refining method of this magic pill is somewhat said."

"What did you say?" Ma Ying listened with gusto and asked casually.

Lingzhi showed Jiang Yuan the jade box in his hand, and said with a smile, "Don't you fellow daoists take a look at Wannian Chun first?"

"No rush, let's talk about Fadan first." Jiang Yuan waved his hand.

"Then why don't you two follow me to the front yard, let's sit and drink tea while talking, and try my yellow bud tea by the way."

Lingzhi led the two of them to the living room, where Youdao Tong brought tea.

Jiang Yuan took the teacup with tender yellow buds and leaves floating in it, and the fragrance was tangy, as if he was in the valley of the dawn, and the flowers, plants, insects and ants were waking up from the middle of the night, full of vigor.

Vaguely, the soul in his body seemed to tremble slightly, Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to take a sip from the teacup.

It's like being in a cold crypt for many days, and suddenly walking into the sun, it's warm and refreshing, every corner of the body is jumping for joy, especially the soul, it's like waking up from a deep sleep, refreshed.

Suddenly, the entrance in the body trembled, and the soul floated up vaguely. Zhou Tian's Yuan Qi was about to move, and then the soul pulled Yuan Qi, and the Yuan Qi supported the soul. The two were about to break through the entrance and fly away in a trance.

This time, he will return to his innate nature and create a fairy foundation.

"call--"

Jiang Yuan let out a long breath, remembering the feeling at this moment, and recollecting it for a long time.

"Good tea, good tea!" Jiang Yuan put down his teacup and praised repeatedly.

Lingzhi smiled happily, "This yellow bud tea was originally a wild tea in the mountains, but under the nourishment of thousands of years of alchemy, it turned into a spirit at some point. It was transplanted to the back garden by the master, and With the companion of Wannian Dachun, the taste becomes more intense."

After relishing the fragrance of the tea, Ma Ying suddenly called out: "Brother Lingzhi is not kind, why didn't you serve me this tea when I came to see you last time?"

Lingzhi spread his hands and said: "Yellow bud tea can only be harvested a catty and three taels a year. It was even more unlucky when you came here. There were insects, and in the end you only got less than five taels. The master couldn't drink enough for himself, so he ordered, No more entertaining outsiders."

Ma Ying's face was suddenly depressed.

"Hahaha"

After laughing, Gnosis continued to talk about Fadan:

"The method of refining alchemy is unusual. For example, alchemy requires a furnace fire for alchemy, and red lead for medicinal stones needs to be smelted with civil and military fire. I am not familiar with refining tools, but usually I also need to pay attention to quenching and extracting essence. Refined into shape, but this magic pill."

Lingzhi pondered for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "I heard from Master that it seems to have originated from ancient witchcraft. They used the technique of wishing curses, donating blood to serve ghosts and gods, and then performing sacrifices."

"It's a pity that the witches declined during the period of the Five Emperors, and then disappeared during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. This method of alchemy sacrifice and refining also disappeared."

Jiang Yuan was secretly surprised that it was related to ancient witches.

The heaven and the earth here have a beginning and an end, like the twelve earthly branches, the sky is opened at the time of the child, the earth is opened at the time of the ugliness, and humans, beasts, and birds are born at the time of the Yin.

In the world at that time, the Three Realms were unclear, gods, humans, ghosts, and monsters were mixed together, humans and animals were not distinguished, and they drank blood like hair, and it was dark and ignorant.

Until the Jade Emperor returned to the throne, the heaven and the earth were ordered, and the human race began to prosper, and then there were three emperors to rule the world, and five emperors to rule the world.

Witches originated in the ancient times when humans and gods lived together, using the method of witches and blessings to communicate with gods and ghosts.

The method of witchcraft must be guided by blood sacrifices.

During the time of Emperor Zhuanxu, the gods belonged to the gods, people returned to humans, ghosts entered the underworld, and the monsters hid in the mountains and forests, so the witches naturally declined.

After the rise of Qi refining in Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the ritual system evolved, and even the responsibility of offering sacrifices to witches was dismembered and replaced by various schools of thought.

Today, there is the Heavenly Palace above, the Underworld below, the imperial power and the land in the middle, so there is no room for witches to develop. At most, they are in poor mountains and rivers, or overseas relics, and there are some inheritances, such as the Siyou Kingdom in Haizhong Continent.

Speaking of Siyou Country, Jiang Yuan took advantage of the situation and asked: "Ling Zhiyou, so there is no magic pill in Siyou Country?"

Ling Zhi chuckled, and pointed at Ma Ying: "Si Youguo only taught some witches and beasts, and they can use the tricks of gu slave beasts. In terms of the ability to exorcise gods and ghosts, it is not as good as Master Ma's Fang Xiandao. .”

Ma Ying sighed: "Today's gods and earth, ghosts and ghosts, all have the heavenly talisman of the Lingxiao Palace. If you don't have the talisman of the divine way, if you force the ghosts and gods to be enslaved, you are against the divine way. Don't dare to mess with it."

"Haha, that's exactly what you said."

Ling Zhi laughed and nodded, then looked at Jiang Yuan, "So, this is where the preciousness of your Tiger Pill lies."

Jiang Yuan smiled, but he was thinking in his heart, from this point of view, Fang Ding might also come from Wu Ji, and the ghost pill and Qilin pill are both magic pills.

In fact, thinking about it, Fang Ding is indeed a bit out of tune with Xiandao.

Immortal practice is a double cultivation of life and life, with the pursuit of longevity and Tao fruit, but Fang Ding's Ten Herb Great Pill seems to only have "fate", only talking about fighting, not talking about Tao fruit.

And attribute it to Wu Ji, it can be explained.

Wu Zhi was born in the barbaric period when the hairs and blood were drunk. At that time, there were gods, ghosts, monsters and monsters. If the human race wanted to survive, they must fight for survival, so they didn't care about a happy and long life.

Jiang Yuan finally had a preliminary understanding of Fang Ding, and the remaining doubts were what era Fang Ding came from and who made it.

　Also at night.
