Chapter 161: Refining Ghosts is Better Than Refining People
Taoist ancestral garden dragon and tiger mountain, set the aura of heaven and earth, the water and soil of one side, there are often auspicious clouds gathered at the top, long time does not disperse, some people say, this is the alchemy furnace left by Zhang Tianshi is still refining the elixir in this mountain The smoke emitted by the rise is caused, and some people say that this is the Taoist immortal gas contained in the mountain for thousands of years. "No one knows, and naturally there is no way to verify it, it is just a legend.
On the top of the mountain directly opposite the waterfall of Tianmen Mountain, the small wooden house is still there, in the wooden house, Zhao Gongming has not come down the mountain for many days, and he has been urging his newly acquired apprentice Jiang Huanghuang to learn his housekeeping skill "alchemy" all day long. The so-called alchemy requires first capturing a corpse king that is more than a thousand years old, trapping it with a talisman array, and then looking for evil ghosts wandering in the world, sucking the ghost qi on their bodies, and turning it into their own grievances, and then refining this resentment to refine the corpse king captured in advance, and after refining it, it will become a puppet at your mercy. Of course, this ghost refining is not as simple as it sounds, first, the thousand-year-old corpse king is difficult to find, and second, there is an element of luck in this, otherwise even if you capture the thousand-year-old corpse king, even if you absorb thousands of evil ghost qi, you may not be able to refine it into a puppet.
Zhao Gongming, who followed the dust Taoist back then, went astray, learned this alchemy, and by chance, under the guidance of the mysterious man, he captured the four thousand-year-old corpse kings, and finally with the help of the mysterious man, in just three years, four murderous puppets were refined. Because of this, he turned against his master, the ghost-faced man was subdued by the dust Taoist, and he himself was chased and intercepted by his fellow disciple Chen Hansheng, and jumped into the abyss. In the end, it was the mysterious man who rescued him, healed his injuries, helped him refine another corpse king, and made up for the four puppets of A, B, C and D. Then the mysterious man vanished, not to be seen again for decades. But when he was leaving, he explained one thing to Zhao Gongming, and Zhao Gongming has been doing it conscientiously until now. In the meantime, he once met another person who was also unidentified, who persuaded Zhao Gongming to turn back, but Zhao Gongming did not listen, so he sealed the four ghost-faced people in the ancient tomb. Until Li Laosan pulled out the ancient sword in the tomb and broke the seal......
Zhao Gongming has accepted Jiang Huanghuang as an apprentice alone in his life, although in his heart he prefers Luo Wencheng, but at the same time, he is afraid that in the end, he will not be able to control this ambitious young man, so he took a step back and accepted Jiang Huanghuang, who looked easier to control. For only he knew that he was on the verge of running out of oil, and that he had to find someone to inherit his alchemy and do for himself what he had promised the mysterious man but who seemed to be standing still.
During these days, Jiang Huanghuang has settled down a lot, I don't know if he saw through it, or pretended to be forced, he is no longer as sad and anxious as when he first went up the mountain, and he is depressed. Therefore, Zhao Gongming handed over the methods and essentials of alchemy to him, and sent the remaining two ghost-faced puppets Yi and Ding Du down the mountain to find the corpse king and evil ghosts for Jiang Huanghuang to practice alchemy.
Jiang Huanghuang also showed great nature to this alchemy, staying in the cave on the cliff every day, drawing runes over and over again in front of the rancid corpses and the evil ghosts full of resentment, inhaling the ghost qi. This also made him, who was already resentful, gradually become a monstrous resentment.
Zhao Gongming originally didn't have much hope for Jiang Huanghuang, thinking that with this kid's qualifications, he couldn't even refine the hundred-year-old corpse king every ten or twenty years. But in the end, when he saw the resentment that Jiang Huanghuang exuded after absorbing a batch of demonic qi from his body, he was impressed by Jiang Huanghuang.
At this time, there was no one in the wooden house, Jiang Huanghuang was sucking ghost qi in the cave as usual, Zhao Gongming also took two ghost-faced people and just entered the cave, and ghost-faced man B was still carrying a hundred-year-old corpse king who had just been captured from thousands of miles away.
"Master!" Seeing Zhao Gongming's arrival, Jiang Huanghuang stopped his homework and got up to greet him.
Zhao Gongming waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, and then asked B to throw the hundred-year-old little corpse king into the talisman array in the cave. The little corpse king, who had been taught by B to be obedient, looked even more honest after entering the rune array.
"I've only found one for three hundred years! Try to see if you can refine it!" Zhao Gongming said to Jiang Huanghuang with an expressionless face.
Jiang Huanghuang glanced at the little corpse king in the rune array, and then spit out four words lightly: "Give me five days!"
Zhao Gongming smiled slightly, and said, "Okay!" and then didn't stop long, and left the cave directly.
After Zhao Gongming left, Jiang Huanghuang walked to the talisman array, looked at the little corpse king who was obviously wilted in the talisman array, and shook his head, "Master, you also underestimate me too much!" Then, he stretched out a hand, pointed at the little corpse king, and urged the long-accumulated resentment in his body. Resentment flowed from his fingertips, drifted into the rune array, and then shot at the little corpse king like a sharp arrow.
The moment the little corpse king was struck by the resentment, he immediately struggled in pain on the ground, and let out a piercing roar.
"You're too noisy!" Jiang Huihuang frowned, said in a deep voice, and then urged the resentment in his body again, this time much stronger than the last time.
So much so that when the little corpse king was haunted by this resentment, he didn't even have a chance to roar, and his eyeballs burst directly, and there was no movement after a few convulsions.
"Hey, it's boring, why do you have to refine ghosts? This kind of thoughtless thing is too easy to refine, right? If I have a chance, I will definitely try to refine people!" Jiang Huanghuang sat cross-legged on the ground, looked at the little corpse king who had no movement, and muttered to himself.
In the wooden house, Zhao Gongming looked at the direction of the cave and smiled slightly, and said softly: "This kid is really eye-catching! Sure enough, only those who have no way back can go further and walk out of a new road!"
He paused for a moment, and then said to the ghost-faced man standing outside the door of the wooden house on the left and right: "Catch a thousand-year-old corpse king and come back!"
The two ghost-faced men left in response.
Zhao Gongming faced the cave again, how many surprises can you give me? He waited and saw a little.
At Jiujiang Railway Station, a train slowly stopped, and a man surnamed Xiao, who was in his thirties wearing a leather jacket and a beard, walked out of the train and ran out of the train station. I ran into a ramen restaurant again, ordered a large amount of ramen, and began to gobble it up.
A big bowl of ramen, and he didn't even drink a drop of soup left. After that, he stood up, touched his stomach contentedly, and asked the ramen restaurant owner about the location of Longhu Mountain. The boss carefully explained to him, he took out a crumpled hundred yuan from his pocket, flattened it, slapped it on the table, said, "Don't look for it!" and strode out of the ramen restaurant, drowning in the crowd.
The ramen restaurant owner looked at the hundred yuan on the table and was stunned.
(ps: Up to now, the results are not satisfactory, I will redouble my efforts, I hope the emperor lives up to his heart!)
