Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 203 What is Demon

The Supreme Lord Laozi came to Yunxiao on his ox and said, "Nephew, please hand over the demonized ancestor witch to me for refining."

Bixiao was a little dissatisfied. Our teacher is Shangqing, not your Taiqing. Mo Zhurong is her sister's trophy. If she brings it back to Biyou Palace, the leader will definitely praise them. Why should she give it to you?
Qingluan was shocked to see that she was about to retort, and quickly pulled her back.

Yunxiao didn't hesitate at all. He took out the Hunyuan Golden Bowl, rotated it half a circle, and poured out the Demon Zhurong that he had previously put in it.

The demon Zhurong, who was supposed to have been suppressed by the Hunyuan Golden Bowl with his five senses sealed, did not fall into coma as she expected. On the contrary, this guy was extremely energetic. As soon as he was freed, he roared continuously, took out the Fire God Whip, and prepared to kill everyone.

Yunxiao stepped back subconsciously. Taishang Laojun lightly tapped his finger, and a golden rope tied up the demon Zhurong tightly from head to toe.

The corpse of the ancestor witch is too powerful. Since it has been demonized, it can no longer be kept. This time it must be revealed.

With a flick of his finger, the Jade Emperor's Fire Whip transformed into a rainbow of light, descending into the underworld. Two more beams of light, one the Hunyuan Hammer and the other the diagram of the Tianjue Formation, flew into the Biyou Palace and were retrieved by the Patriarch Tongtian.

The old man rode a cow, Deng Chanyu and Long Ji stood on his left and right, and the demon Zhurong and the demon Qinwan floated behind him, heading towards the Tushita Palace.

"What are we going to do?" Long Ji asked Deng Chanyu in a low voice.

Even if the two of them had a very good relationship, they still had to ask clearly at this time to avoid making mistakes when working later. Deng Chanyu asked, "Have you ever refined pills?"

Long Ji covered his chest and burped a peach-flavored burp: "I have eaten elixirs before. I have eaten Laojun's golden elixir before."

Are you quite proud?
Deng Chanyu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Now, she increasingly feels that Nuwa's education is more comprehensive than that of the underworld and heaven.

The mysterious sutra of the Old Mother of Mount Li is full of theoretical texts, involving many aspects such as alchemy, refining, formations, and salvation. In fact, it has no combat capabilities. Deng Chanyu has never used the spells and magical powers in this sutra, because these things do not exist in this sutra!

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra that Empress Pingxin taught to Daji only has the spell of paper-cutting people in the chapter on humanity, and the same is true for Longji.

Neither of them had as comprehensive knowledge of Taoism as Deng Chanyu. It was fine when their master was around, but they were at a loss once they had to deal with something on their own.

At this moment, Long Ji was extremely panicked. What was that?
"The so-called civil and military fires are the six sacred fires of Ding. Bing fire is Yang, and Ding fire is Yin. I control the fire, which is Yang. You control the warm water, and use the water refining method to neutralize my fire, which is Yin. Together we will combine to form Ding fire. At the same time, water and fire will be distributed according to the twelve earthly branches. Zi and Chou will combine, Yin and Mao will combine, and we will combine a total of six times. Then..."

Taishang Laojun is not here to teach people literacy, so it is impossible for him to give long lectures and teach them how to use fire like he is teaching his disciples. These lessons must be learned first.

Deng Chanyu had refined Zhurong before, and she had refined it for 49 days. She had practical experience. Even though Taishang Laojun's Taoism was countless times higher than hers, and the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace was much stronger than the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Furnace she had refined at that time, the general process was similar.

She repeatedly reminded him, "I'll control the fire, you control the water, just follow my rhythm."

Long Ji patted his chest and nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, I understand!"

Taishang Laojun has his own boys, the future King of Golden Horn and King of Silver Horn. At this time, the two boys were fanning the fire and busy refining another furnace of elixir. They were unable to get away, so they found two tools.

Deng Chanyu is a disciple of Nuwa. Counting from Hongjun, she is a third-generation disciple of Xuanmen. When she sees the two Taoist boys, no matter how high their level of Taoism is, she calls them "Junior brothers".

Long Ji did not receive such treatment, so he could only discuss age with the two Taoist boys and finally call them "senior brothers".

The green ox was sleeping outside the door, two boys were refining elixirs nearby, and Taishang Laojun brought Deng Chanyu and Long Ji, two tools, to the Bagua Purple Gold Furnace.

"Turn on the furnace."

This is not a voice-controlled device, so the furnace lid will definitely not open by itself. Deng Chanyu hurriedly went up to push it, and Miss Longji realized it later and went over to help.

The two of them opened the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace. The rich aroma of medicinal herbs wafted out in a hazy wisp. Deng Chanyu took the opportunity to push the lid open, stretching her neck and peering inside several times.

Her Nine Dragons Divine Fire Furnace is designed with nine dragon heads spewing fire. Apart from that, there is nothing mysterious about it.

There is a very obvious yin and yang separation inside the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace of Taishang Laojun.

Yin and Yang are actually very difficult to separate. If there is a little more or a little less, it is impossible to tell the difference. It is actually very difficult to separate them accurately.

Deng Chanyu has the Cuiguang Liangyi Lamp, which can smoothly separate the absorbed vital energy of heaven and earth into yin and yang, and then continue to differentiate into the four symbols and eight trigrams, and finally absorb the one-eighth of the vital energy in the Li position.

Her cultivation efficiency is already extremely high.

Some demons have practiced hard for thousands of years, and the process is very inspiring. However, when they really fight, they are not as good as humans who have only practiced for a few decades.

For example, Bai Suzhen, who had practiced for 1,500 years, was defeated by Fahai, who had practiced for decades. Fahai was indeed the reincarnation of an arhat and had magical weapons, but Bai Suzhen's 1,500 years of practice was also very exaggerated because there was too much useless practice.

The differentiation of yin and yang is the most basic, yet also the most difficult, step in spiritual practice.

Undoubtedly, the Sage Taiqing has taken this path to the extreme.

With a wave of his whisk, the Taishang Laojun threw the demonized Zhurong and Qin Wan into the furnace.

Two workers covered the furnace.

"Let the fire burn for seven days first." Taishang Laojun obviously did not take Demon Zhurong and Demon Qinwan seriously.

This old man in Bagua immortal robes was more talkative than the real Taiqing Saint that Deng Chanyu had seen.

The old man sat on the cloud bed and said, "The Ksitigarbha of the Western religion said a lot before. Now I want to test you. What exactly is a demon?"

Jinjiao and Yinjiao were very familiar with this atmosphere. While fanning the fire nonchalantly, they replied, "The demons must be those particularly bad guys, those villains who want to destroy the peace of the prehistoric world."

"The devil should be the resentment and murderous energy between heaven and earth, sir, am I right?"

Taishang Laojun smiled without saying anything, and looked at Deng Chanyu and Long Ji: "What about you?"

Longji had been eating peaches for the better part of half a year and was almost going crazy. He racked his brains and said, "The devil is... Oh, I haven't figured it out yet. Ah Yu is the smartest, she must know."

Laojun looked at Deng Chanyu.

She said seriously, "The devil is in our hearts, in our scriptures, and all around us."

Jinjiao and Yinjiao were shocked.

Laojun smiled and said, "Since the devil is in the scriptures, why not 'not establish words'?"

Deng Chanyu's point was that learning should be applied flexibly, without having to rely solely on the literal meaning of the text. Laojun replied, "Okay, then forget about the text altogether. Let's just learn from the universe and understand the truth."

This question is a bit beyond the scope, and Deng Chanyu needs to think carefully before answering it.
