Zhou Heng saw the storyteller coming over with a gong, and handed over five taels of silver.

The storyteller looked at him in a little surprise, and quickly bowed down to thank him.

Zhou Heng saw that there was no one around, so he turned sideways and asked, "I don't know where Zhang Yuanwai's family lives?"

The storyteller looked him up and down and asked, "Are you a doctor?"

Zhou Heng shook his head: "I have a few spells here to dispel illness and calm the nerves, and I am willing to give it a try." ”

The storyteller listened, and hurriedly packed up his props and led him forward. Zhou Heng followed the storyteller for a short time and came to a high-walled compound.

The storyteller came forward and knocked on the door, saying that he had invited an immortal master to cure diseases and exorcise evil spirits.

After a while, an old man with good facial features, a rich body, and an anxious expression walked out, and asked as he walked, "Where is the immortal master?"

When I saw Zhou Heng so young, I didn't feel a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, people can't look good, maybe this person really has the ability?"

So he hurriedly invited to the hall and instructed his subordinates to serve tea. After he sat down, he asked, "Which immortal mountain is the gentleman from?"

Zhou Heng bowed down and replied: "I am a disciple of Qingcheng below, and if I am not good at learning, I will get a few paper talismans." Today, I heard that someone in your house is sick, and I just want to come and have a look, but I may not be able to do it. ”

Hearing that it was from Qingcheng Mountain, the old man immediately looked at him differently and said: "The immortal master is too modest! The little girl Chongyang climbed high and looked at the autumn, and when she came back, she couldn't afford to be sick. During the day, he does not cry or make trouble, and is drowsy. ”

"I wonder where Miss Chongyang Day has been?"

The staff didn't know it, and hurriedly summoned Yahuan to ask, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl ran out, glanced at Zhou Heng and said, "Miss and I just walked around the Black Cloud Temple." ”

"Did you go in and burn incense?"

The little girl shook her head: "No." ”

"Have you ever seen anyone who behaves strangely?"

The little girl thought about it, but still shook her head: "There were a lot of people who climbed high to enjoy the autumn that day, and I didn't pay attention." ”

Zhou Heng nodded, and thought secretly: "Since there have been famous doctors to diagnose and treat, and the medicine stone has also been tried, I think it is not an ordinary disease, it is very similar to a monster." He took into account that it was the woman who was sick and had not left the cabinet, so he said to Zhang Yuanwai: "Wait for the third watch in the middle of the night, and wait for me to take a closer look to see who the demon is." ”

"Do you want to set up an altar first?"

"No, let's see. ”

That night, Zhou Heng sat in the room next to the young lady's embroidery room, with a member of the staff and a family member behind him. The three of them quietly looked out the window.

After waiting for a long time, there was a sudden sound of "Bang, Bang, Bang" in the distance.

Just after the third watch, the bright moonlight suddenly dimmed, a cold wind blew, and the leaves rustled in the yard.

Zhou Heng said secretly: "It's here!" hurriedly took out the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror, and used his strength to shine it on the courtyard and the young lady's room. Everywhere the white light passed, I saw a black shadow standing in front of the young lady's window, and was about to enter through the window, but was frozen by the light emitted by the treasure mirror, and one foot was raised high and could not be put down.

Zhou Heng went out of the house, strengthened his skills to urge the Yin and Yang Treasure Mirror, and illuminated the courtyard as bright as day.

When he looked closely, the black shadow turned out to be a man in his thirties, dressed as a scholar, his face was pale, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he was anxious to escape, but he couldn't move a bit.

Zhou Heng shouted: "Where is the demon, where is the origin?

The black shadow screamed: "Immortal Master spare his life! Immortal Master spare his life! The little one is forced, and I have no choice but to do it!"

"Why do you look like a scholar?"

The dark shadow hesitated and replied, "Small...... This is a student in Huayin County, because of a Taoist, taking pills to death, the soul was accepted by the demon Dao into the soul flag, fifty years without seeing the day, driven by the demon Dao at night, came out to steal Yuan Yin, for the demon Dao to practice. ”

Zhou Heng was annoyed when he heard this, and reluctantly suppressed his anger and said, "Where is the demon way?"

"He is in the black cloud view behind the mountain, known as the real person of Qianyin. (The road number is actually better than me)

"Does the demon know you're here?"

"I don't know, he never asked me where I was going, he just gave me a jade bottle for me to come out and collect Yuan Yin.

Every day at the fifth watch, he recited a spell to urge me to go back, and if he saw that the jade bottle was empty, he would kill me to death. As he spoke, the man took out the jade bottle from his arms and showed it to Zhou Heng, and begged in his mouth: "Immortal Master spare my life!

Zhou Heng shouted angrily: "Reading the book of sages, you should know the truth of 'rather for broken jade than for the whole tile'! (Why does this Purdue Charm have to be used by the caster himself)

The man lowered his head, slightly ashamed, Zhou Heng played a spirit rune, turning the black shadow into clouds, and shouted at the same time: "I still know that you are shameful, I helped you solve the evil law, go to the underworld to report quickly, if you reform well, there is still a chance to be reincarnated as a man! (I won't tell him, the Pudu charm is also the first time I drew it, fortunately he was fooled, if it fails, he will physically overtake him)

The clouds and mist were blown away by a gust of wind, and a faint voice came from the air: "Thank you, Master......"

After a long time, Zhang Yuanwai and his family, who were standing in the window, came back to their senses: "It's done!

At this moment, a young lady's low voice came from inside the house: "Daddy......" The voice was weak, but it was clear and clear. The outsider was ecstatic and shouted, "My daughter is awake, my daughter is awake!"

It took Zhang Yuanwai for a long time to come out, and thanked Ye Haotian for his kindness: "Please go to the front court to serve tea, offer a thousand taels of silver, and hope that the master will smile!"

Zhou Heng entered the hall with him to talk, but said, "The silver is free." Bear more good fruits, my generation should be. (Nonsense, no one wants merit.) ）

"No! You must accept this money!"

Zhou Heng pushed it a few times and couldn't push it off, and when he saw that the old man was kind and kind, his heart suddenly moved, and he said, "I have one thing, I want to ask the staff for a favor." ”

Zhang Yuanwai didn't know what was going on, but he was a little hesitant and didn't dare to agree immediately. Zhou Heng said: "I was originally a scholar, my name is Bai Heng, since the death of my parents, I have been wandering for many years, because I have no food and clothing, and I am temporarily accompanied by a Taoist. When I saw the soul of the scholar just now, I suddenly had the idea of studying again to gain fame. However, my identity has been lost.

Next year happens to be the year of Dabi, I want to take the scientific examination from scratch, can you guarantee me, just say that I am your nephew, help me register?"

Zhang Yuanwai applauded: "This is a good thing! It just so happens that the dog will also participate in the county's scientific examination next year, so you can recognize you as brothers and go together." After speaking, he hurriedly called his son, regardless of whether it was the dead of night or not. (I usually don't have a chance to make friends with these immortals, but I didn't expect it to be so easy now)

When a young man came in, he was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, full of scholarly taste. After talking in a few words, Zhou Heng knew that the young man's name was Zhang Cheng, and he was seventeen years old this year. The two fell in love at first sight and had a good conversation.

The family was jubilant, and Zhou Heng was also happy, as if he had returned to his own home and found the joy he had lost for a long time. (Mostly they listen to me bragging)

While he was talking happily, it was already dawn. I didn't sleep all night, and everyone was a little wilted.

Zhou Heng asked everyone to rest, and he wanted to go to Baiyun Temple. He hiked up the mountain and came to the Black Cloud Temple an hour later.

This black cloud view is not large, and the exterior wall is still new, and it seems to have been newly built.

"I don't know what the skill of that evil demon is, what should I do now? Go in? Can I beat him? Give in? Blindly retreat is never the way!" After a moment's hesitation, he turned his heart on his head and walked in with a sword in his hand. (If you don't believe me, I have so many magic weapons, I can't kill you.) ）

The view is quiet, there is no one, and the silence is a little abnormal.

"It's strange, the Great White Cloud Temple is empty!" After searching for a long time, he found a secret door in the Dan room.

Push open the secret door and there is a secret room inside. An oil lamp was burning in the secret room. In the dim light, you can barely see what is inside.

As far as the eye can see, in the corner of the secret room, there is a red coffin!

Zhou Hengda was taken aback, and suddenly took two steps back: "The enemy is here! The enemy of the Su family is actually here!"

When I looked closely, I found that the color of the coffin was much lighter than what I saw when the Su family destroyed the door, and the size was also smaller! He was surprised in his heart, for fear that there was someone in the coffin, so he immediately gathered his strength and flew up, slashing at the coffin with a sword.

The coffin was broken in two, revealing a pile of gold-stamped jewels!

Turning over the lid of the coffin, there are several big characters engraved inside: "Three mountains and five mountains, immortals and demons release the Tao, Xuanyin is successful, and the world is unified." ”

He remembered the tragic situation of the Su family's annihilation, and couldn't help kicking the coffin to smithereens, shaking his hand to put the property into the Qiankun Tips, and turning the Black Cloud View into ashes with a fire.

He watched from afar for a day, and found no suspicious characters, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful: "Alas! I'm too impulsive! If I leave a black cloud view, it may be a good clue." ”

Still, he got some useful information. "The person in the coffin turned out to be from the Xuanyin Sect! The Xuanyin Sect is not small!"

He clearly remembered the scene of the Su family's annihilation, Master Li's body was in a different place, and he only escaped from the Yuan Shen, which showed that the people in the coffin had extremely high skills, and they might still be above the master Qingyang Zhenren.

In contrast, he still has to work hard to cultivate, and he must reach the level of the Yuan Shen, or even become an immortal, before he can be sure of revenge. However, his current strength has just reached the middle of the rotation period, and he still has an unknown number of realms to climb in front of him, and he doesn't know how many years and months he will have to cultivate!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. When Zhou Heng returned to Zhang's house, the family was waiting anxiously.

He didn't mention the coffin, but said, "The Taoist has fled." ”

Everyone was very uneasy: "Oh, what can I do then?" Zhou Heng comforted everyone not to be nervous, and then asked Zhang Yuanwai to invite Mr. Storyteller, and told him that if anyone asked, he would say that Miss was just an occasional illness, and now he has been cured with medicine.

Mr. Storyteller has been around for a long time, so he naturally knows the stakes and the stakes are the only ones at the moment.

Subsequently, Zhou Heng set up a large array in Zhang's Mansion that was more complex than the Chang'an Wang's family, and almost half of the room was included. He taught Zhang Cheng the method of the last big array, and told him that this big array was not afraid of ghosts, swords, soldiers, water and fire, and all personnel could hide in the formation in an emergency. As long as you store enough grain and dig a well, you can stay for a year and a half.

The crowd was hesitant at first, but it took a few tries to believe it.

Idle, Zhou Heng found a bronze tripod, put ginseng, fairy spleen, yellow essence, white suzi, He Shou Wu, tortoise shell, deer antler, wolfberry, core stone, etc., first cremated with mana to remove impurities, and then slowly exercised with three flavors of real fire, day and night, seven days later, Dan into a hundred grains, as big as longan, round and crystalline, the color is slightly yellow. It's a pity in his heart, this furnace pill can only be regarded as a high-grade product, if it can be pure white, it will be the best.

Immediately afterwards, he took green sheep ginseng, cuiyun grass, corn grass, yellow wolfberry, masan root, atractylodes, licorice, peony, ganoderma lucidum, etc. to refine a furnace of tonifying and benefiting qi pills, which was refined very quickly, and it only took one day to complete. Dan is small in shape, black in color, and has about 200 grains. This is prepared for Qi refining, which can greatly replenish the vitality and is extremely beneficial to those who practice martial arts.

After that, he took a pill every night and continued to cultivate the Yuan Shen. His divine sense has grown a lot, it is already close to four feet tall, and it seems that after taking the hundred pills of Divine Replenishing Pill, it is almost time to open the light. At that time, you can open up the Purple Mansion and cultivate the kung fu that accommodates magic weapons.

Traveling thousands of miles, reading thousands of books, and carrying the treasure jade, only by moving around more will there be unexpected opportunities.

The weather gradually cooled down in October, and Zhou Heng set off again, heading east along the official road, and soon arrived in Luoyang, and then went to the foot of Wangwu Mountain.

Wangwu Mountain is known as "the first cave in the world", the main peak of the Temple of Heaven is 5,000 feet high, according to legend, it is the place where Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor set up an altar to worship the sky, and the world is called "the pillar of heaven and earth". Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor in the first year of the first month of Jiazi in Wangwu Mountain set up an altar to worship the sky, unified China, three years later on August 15 and in Wangwu Mountain to meet the Queen Mother of the West, enjoyed the fairy song and dance of the goddess Song Miaoying, tasted the Queen Mother of the West gave the elixir and jade liquid, at this time Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor has achieved fame, very envious and yearning for the life of the gods in the sky, so he established a petition in Wangwu Mountain, worship Guangchengzi as a teacher, and finally became an immortal. On August 15 every year, all kinds of immortals and good people from all directions gather in Wangwu Mountain, and the total immortal palace here becomes "the place where the gods and immortals of the five mountains and four desecrations, the ten major caves and the thirty-six small caves are gathered". This year's court meeting has ended, but the Taoist priests on the mountain have not dispersed.

In view of the fact that there were too many cultivators on the mountain, Zhou Heng was unwilling to expose his true face to everyone, so he took out his mask early and put it on.

Along the way, but see the peaks and peaks of Wangwu Mountain, the spirit is strong and majestic, the palace view is lined up, the spring and waterfall compete for the stream, and the trees are ancient and the stone is strange. Climb to the top, the mountain breeze blows, the sleeves flutter, look at the white clouds in the distance, the Yellow River is like a belt, the green trees are verdant, the scenery is picturesque, it makes people feel refreshed and happy, and suddenly opens up.

At the top of the Temple of Heaven there is "Lao Tzu Alchemy Pool". Legend has it that Taishang Laojun once made alchemy here. Zhou Heng circled around the alchemy pool, trying to find out if the elixir that Lao Tzu had refined had missed one or two, but unfortunately he didn't find anything.

When he walked to a place more than 100 zhang away from Danchi, the Tongling Jade on his chest suddenly warmed up. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the heat source was located in a deep rock crevice on the edge of the cliff. He drew his sword and slashed at the surrounding rocks, revealing a swarthy object underneath. After cutting for another half a day, he dug up a seven-foot-sized turtle shell.

There were many people on the top of the mountain, and they all rushed over to watch. Many people saw that it was a turtle shell, and thought it was not strange, and after looking at it for a while, they dispersed.

Zhou Heng saw that the people around him were gone, so he carried the turtle shell on his shoulder, left the top of the mountain and walked to a deserted place. After walking for a long time, I came to an empty valley and stopped by a gurgling stream.

He first set up a simple formation around him, then washed the turtle shell in the stream, scraped off the floating dirt and dust on it with his sword, and finally spread it out on the grass to inspect it. I saw that the turtle shell was dark all over, but there was a palm-sized place in the middle that was silver-white and as smooth as a mirror.

He tapped the tortoise shell, and after only a few knocks, the silver-white tortoise shell in the middle suddenly fell off. He was amazed, so he picked some branches and made a fire on the ground, and put the tortoise shell on the fire to roast it. For a moment, the tortoise shell faintly emitted blue light, like a copper mirror.

When I got closer to watch, I saw the mist steaming and mist in the bronze mirror, and I didn't know what was inside.

He saw the statement "a hundred-year-old spirit turtle can be divined" more than once in the ancient books of the pre-Qin period. Such a huge turtle is afraid that it has lived for tens of thousands of years, and it came from the side of Lao Tzu's alchemy pool, maybe it has drunk the holy water and ascended. So this tortoiseshell should be extremely effective. The ancients burned tortoise shells on fire, and the future could be predicted through the changes in the cracks. He was familiar with 10,000 volumes and had some research on hexagrams. (i.e. know a little bit about everything, but only a little bit)

"I probably haven't studied divination at home, but if the fortune teller who saved my life is here, maybe I'll understand. Thinking like this, the turtle mirror in front of him suddenly changed, revealing the figure of the old man.

The old man was pushing the compass in the room when he saw it, shaking his head as he pushed it, and he didn't know what to mutter.

Zhou Heng wanted to see what kind of house it was. As a result, the turtle mirror turned around, and it had come to the outside of the house, and it seemed to be a small temple in front of it, and it was like a Taoist temple, there was no door plaque, and I didn't know what the place was. Standing farther away, the camera changed, and the surrounding area was full of woods. The tree is very green, not the pines and cypresses of the north, a bit of a Jiangnan water town. Zhou Heng still wanted to track it down, but the scene suddenly became very blurry, and then he couldn't see anything.

When I looked down, it turned out that there was not enough fire. He picked some pine branches and added them, and then tried to think about the day when the Su family was destroyed. After a while, the scene in the mirror reappeared. Two people carried a big red coffin, walked into Su's house, sprinkled medicinal powder inside and outside the door, one horse after another, and one family member after another all fell, and finally the scene of Master Li's tragic death.

Zhou Heng desperately wanted to see the situation inside the coffin, the mirror came to the top of the coffin, but he couldn't see the inside of the coffin, a cloud of yellow smoke shrouded the coffin. As soon as he turned around and came to the hall, his parents and the entire Su family fell to the ground. His mind was shaking, his vision was blurred, and all the scenes were gone.

Only the wind blows the treetops, and the sunset is silent. The fire had been extinguished, and he felt a chill to his bones. (Is this the girl who sold the little girl's matches?, and I'm going to freeze to death?) ）

It took a long time to come back to his senses, he carefully put the tortoise mirror into the Qiankun bag, looked down and saw the remaining large piece of tortoise shell, so he drew his sword, wanting to chop the tortoise shell into pieces so that he could keep the alchemy. was chopping, suddenly a pale yellow bead fell to the ground, picked up and looked at it and found that it was about the size of a fingernail, crystal like jade, pinched and soft.

"Spirit Tortoise Marrow Pill!" he suddenly remembered the elixir mentioned in the ancient book, and he was so excited that he almost exclaimed! This is an extremely rare thing to improve his divine sense and increase his cultivation, and it is said that one can be worth one Jiazi to cultivate. He searched carefully with trembling hands, and found as many as seven.

While he was excited, he suddenly heard a shrill voice: "Senior brother, where is that person?"

Zhou Heng looked up and found that it was a middle-aged man in a cyan robe who was speaking, and he was standing more than ten zhang away at the moment.

"I saw him walking in this direction just now, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?" replied another man in a dark robe.

"According to me, I should have snatched the turtle shell just now. But you won't let it!" the green-robed man complained.

"There were too many people around just now, and it was too troublesome to grab it to attract the attention of others. ”

"What is the value of the turtle shell?"

The Xuanpao Daoist shook his head: "I don't know. However, the tortoise shell is a treasure depending on the year, especially near the Laozi Alchemy Pool, which is worth a lot of money. ”
