Chapter 21 Night Talk in the Star Palace, Gathering Spirits and Longevity
That night, Li Yichen was arranged to live at the Holy Lotus Peak. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoShushan under the night, without the brilliance and noise of the day, has become quiet and peaceful.
After nightfall, Leng Yue came to the Star Palace.
During the day, there is nothing special about the Star Palace, but at night, the starry sky map outside is mapped here.
When Leng Yue entered the Star Palace, Mo was looking up at the stars in the night sky.
"Behold, there is something unusual about the stars in the sky. Mo said unintentionally.
After observing for a while, Leng Yue said, "The western constellations are dim, while the eastern constellations are bright, and the southern ones are shining. ”
"Penglai in the East China Sea has gradually grown in the past hundred years, but my Shushan is full of problems; since ancient times, there have been many strange people and strange arts in southern Xinjiang, and this Gu poison incident may be just the beginning of the disaster. Mo unintentionally explained to the cold moon the meaning of the star phenomenon.
"Trouble?" Leng Yue frowned.
"Yes," Mo said with a serious face, "I have done divination many times in the past few days, and I have found that the source of the disaster is in the southern Xinjiang. Moreover, Li Yichen will be a key figure. ”
"Him?"
The hexagram says that he is a key figure, but it does not say whether he is friend or foe. Therefore, I invited him to find out where he came from and to win him over. ”
"But, Master," Leng Yue frowned, "he used to be a demon and dealt with his disciples with the demon. How can such a person win him over? In the eyes of the disciples, he must be the source of trouble. ”
Mo shook his head unintentionally and said, "What you said is too absolute. I looked into him, and three years ago he was an ordinary person. One day three years ago, a man in white suddenly appeared, and the next day he disappeared. I guess that the man in white is very likely to be Penglai Patriarch Dugu Yu. If he is really Dugu Yu's disciple, he may be able to use us. ”
"Master," Leng Yue retorted, "Maybe it's all an illusion. Li Yichen is just to confuse you, gain your trust, and get into Shushan. ”
"Leng Yue, you are very prejudiced against Li Yichen! If he really wants to gain my trust, how can he be unrestrained by his words and deeds? If he really wants to collude with demons, how can he be so blatant?"
Leng Yue thought about it carefully, and felt that Master's words were indeed reasonable. However, he just doesn't like Li Yichen. The reason for this, he himself does not know.
"Master, what if Li Yichen is unwilling to join Shushan?"
"I don't want to...... Then we can't force it. I'll keep an eye on him, though. ”
At this time, Leng Yue suddenly remembered Yan Mo, so she said, "Master, why did you ask me to suspend the investigation of Yan Mo?"
"Well, I'll show you something first. As he spoke, Mo unintentionally took out a transparent crystal ball and injected spiritual power into it. In an instant, a light and shadow were projected from the crystal ball and reflected in the starry sky. It was a picture of many Shushan disciples surrounding a man covered in blood and a weak woman. Leng Yue recognized it, and the man was the end of his words. Just when Leng Yue was taken aback, the picture suddenly darkened, and the sky was overcast. After another while, those Shushan disciples all fell to the ground and died without warning. This is the end of the picture.
"Master, this, what's going on?" Leng Yue couldn't figure out how those Shushan disciples would suddenly die in vain.
Mo unintentionally put away the crystal ball and explained: "This was recorded by a Shushan head hundreds of years ago. At that time, he was just an ordinary disciple. At that time, there were rumors that the people of the demon clan had stolen into the world, so Shushan sent someone to track down, and soon found that person. So, the head of the family asked people to go to encircle and suppress. Just when the disciples were about to succeed, a sudden change occurred. The Demon Venerable cast a phantom shadow into the world and killed all those Shushan disciples. It turned out that the demon who stole into the world turned out to be the son of the demon venerable. At that time, the disciple who recorded that scene was too low-level and could only watch the battle from the sidelines, so he escaped the catastrophe. Later, the demon clan was rescued, and the disciple returned to Shushan, and from this moment on, he cultivated hard, and finally became the head of Shushan. This crystal ball has been passed down from generation to generation so that future generations can avoid messing with people who can't be messed with. ”
This is the first time Leng Yue heard this story, and her heart is very shocked. He asked, "Master, how powerful is the Demon Venerable?"
Mo unintentionally sighed: "We are not on the same level as him at all. The human world and the demon world are two worlds that are at peace with each other and do not invade each other. So, at the end of that word, as long as he doesn't do anything harmful to the world, let him go. After a pause, he said: "But Ertian, I will never let him go!" Leng Yue, I will personally go out of the mountain tomorrow to find the traces of Ertian, and you will take care of the affairs of Shushan for me temporarily. ”
"Master wants to go out in person?"
"Well, by the way, I will meet the southern Xinjiang master that Su Xing said......"
"What about Li Yichen?"
"Let him live in Shushan first, I believe he will not refuse. By the way, you can go to Elder Idler in a while and see how far his elixir has been studied. ”
"Yes, Master. ”
Out of the Star Palace, Leng Yue came to the Dan room next to him. As soon as I entered the Dan room, a strong smell of medicine came to my face. Leng Yue frowned and saw an old man sitting beside the Dan furnace, holding a few herbs in his hand and meditating. The old man was disheveled, his hair was disheveled, and he looked very sloppy. However, the people of Shushan did not dare to underestimate him. This sloppy old man was Mo Yiyi's Elder Uncle, a very good alchemist.
"Elder, Master has asked me to see how your research is going. Leng Yue said respectfully.
The idlers didn't seem to hear Leng Yue's words, and they were still holding the herbs without even moving. Seeing that the idler didn't react, Leng Yue didn't dare to disturb him anymore, so she stood quietly aside and waited.
It was a long time before the idlers put down the herbs. He raised his head and brushed away the messy hair that was covering his eyes, only to find Leng Yue standing there: "Leng Yue, why are you here...... Oops!" The idler tried to stand up, but found that his legs had become a little numb from sitting for a long time. Seeing this, Leng Yue hurriedly stepped forward to help the idler stand up: "Elder, slow down." ”
After standing firm, the idler said, "There is not much dragon blood, I need to go and get some." ”
Leng Yue said: "I'll go and get it for you." ”
The idler smiled: "I'll go with you." I've been here for too long, and it's time for me to get out and get some air. ”
"Good. ”
On the way to the provincial peak, Leng Yue asked the idlers about the pill. The idler sighed slightly and said, "I have studied this 'Gathering Spirit Yishou Pill' for three years, but I always feel that something is wrong. The materials I used were all right in the heat of the alchemy, but the pills I refined were not satisfactory. Sometimes I wonder if there is something wrong with the recipe Su Xing gave me, or that this pill recipe is fake. ”
Leng Yue groaned, "Probably not." ”
Just three years ago, Su Xing inadvertently obtained an ancient pill in the world, named "Juling Yishou Dan". This elixir can enable cultivators to improve their cultivation and prolong their lifespan, and if the materials used are different, then the improved cultivation will extend their lifespan differently. The most exciting thing is that this elixir can extend a person's lifespan by up to 500 years. You must know that even if you are an immortal cultivator, you can only live for a hundred years at most. Many immortal cultivators died because they did not become immortals before their deaths. If they can live for a few hundred more years, then immortal cultivators can have more time to cultivate, so that they can become immortals by chance. Of course, the materials used in such an anti-heaven elixir are naturally rare treasures in the world. However, for Shushan, the material is not a big deal. However, just when all the materials were gathered, the idler began to refine the pill, but there was a problem. The idlers couldn't control the materials in those alchemy furnaces. As a result, the first alchemy failed. Since then, the idlers have devoted themselves to research, overcome one difficulty after another, and finally refined a "Gathering Spirit Yishou Pill". However, this elixir was far from having the expected effect. The idlers were not reconciled, so they buried themselves in hard research. But three years later, he still doesn't have a clue.
The idler smiled bitterly: "Alas, now I have discovered that my alchemy attainments are still far from being a true master. ”
"Elder, you don't have to be presumptuous. I believe that you will definitely be able to refine the real 'Gathering Soul Yishou Pill'. ”
"I hope so......"
While talking, the two walked across the chain bridge and stepped on the provincial peak. The provincial peak at night is even colder. Leng Yue used her spiritual power to light a lighting fire in her hand, and walked towards a cave on the mountain with the idlers. The cave was dark and damp, and there was a foul smell. Soon, the two came to the end of the cave. A man in tattered clothes and stained with blood was hanging from the cave wall by several long chains. The man's eyes were squinted, his face was pale and weak. Hearing that someone was coming, the man blinked slightly, and said weakly: "You despicable and shameless villains, if you have the ability, you will kill me...... If I have a chance to go out, I will kill you Shushan chickens and dogs at all costs......"
For the words of men, Leng Yue and idlers turned a deaf ear. The idler looked at the man and said, "Looking at his current appearance, it is not suitable to take more." Well...... Take a small bottle like this. As he spoke, he took out a thumb-sized jade bottle and handed it to Leng Yue. Leng Yue took the jade bottle and walked in front of the man. He found a place on the man's body with fewer wounds, cut it open, and took a vial of blood. Then, he stopped the bleeding in time for the man.
The man's frosty purple eyes were always fixed on the cold moon. There is no hatred, no anger, just endless coldness.
The idler looked at the man's weak appearance and frowned: "He is too weak like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to support it for too long." ”
Leng Yue said: "Someone specially treated him, but he didn't cooperate. ”
"Well, it's better if he's dead, let his son take his place. The idler said indifferently.
"However, it may not be easy to repeat the old tricks. ”
The idler chuckled and said, "Where is the use of repeating the old tricks? Just arrest him secretly." ”
Finally, anger appeared on the man's face.
"Long Feng, if you don't want your son to be the same as you, just cooperate honestly!"
The man's eyes widened suddenly, and he roared, "You despicable villains, I curse you ......"
Amid the man's roar, Leng Yue and the idler left the place......
