Chapter Two Hundred and One: Dan Furnace and Conditions
The Taoist temple where Tianle Gate lives in seclusion is an ancient temple that has been inherited for thousands of years. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info.x.- Originally, it was just a few wild Taoist priests living in seclusion in the mountains, which was very simple and dilapidated. Tianle Gate was attacked by the Weiyu faction six years ago and was almost completely wiped out. After Zhang Kuiquan hid in the mountains with his surviving disciples, he repaired the Taoist temple and gave it its current appearance.
"Immortal Master, the treasure room is behind this stone wall, please come in. Zhang Kuiquan took Hongwu around the mountain road and walked for two quarters of an hour before stopping in front of a mountain cliff. Here, there are already five or six miles of mountain roads from the Taoist temple, winding, deep forests and lush grass, it is indeed a very secret place. Hong Wu perceived the heavens and the earth with his divine thoughts, and found that the vitality around him was obviously much richer than that under the mountain.
Zhang Kuiquan groped on the cliff for a moment, a stone wall slowly opened, and then, Hong Wu followed Lao Dao into the treasure room of Tianle Gate.
The so-called treasure room is actually just a small space with a radius of less than twenty steps. With the current power of Tianle Gate, it is already the limit to be able to open up such a large space inside the mountain cliff. As far as the eye can see, on the ground, there are some gold, silver, weapons, and a large number of sun-dried medicinal materials, all of which are common things in the martial arts sect. Whether it is weapons or medicinal materials, they are indispensable for those who practice martial arts. As for gold and silver, not to mention, any sect needs strong financial resources to strengthen its foundation.
However, Hongwu didn't care about these things, but set his eyes on the center of the stone room. It was a small Dan furnace half a person high, with three legs, four ears and a treasure cover, and two fire vents under it, and the whole body was rusty. The appearance of the Dan furnace was actually not strange, but Hong Wu just glanced at it, and a very mysterious scripture suddenly surged out of his thoughts. It was a kind of writing that Hongwu had never seen before, and it was not a common font in Kyushu, nor was it a Taoist text in the world of cultivating immortals.
However, as soon as Hong Wu closed his eyes and wanted to comprehend this scripture, the vision in his mind disappeared in an instant.
"What's the matter, I've been restless lately, is it just my hallucination?" Isn't it......" Hong Wu frowned and thought for a moment, his expression was solemn, and he asked Zhang Kuiquan on the side: "Old man, where did this Dan furnace come from, how did it appear here?"
The reason why Hong Wu asked this was because there were very few people in the martial arts sect in Kyushu who were proficient in alchemy. The way of Danding, even the major immortal sects have no real inheritance. Moreover, the Dan furnace in front of him was rusty all over, and it had obviously been idle for many years. A thing that shouldn't have appeared in Tianle Gate, but it was lying here quietly at this time, which made Hong Wu feel a little strange.
"Immortal Master is talking about this thing?" Zhang Kuiquan heard this, glanced at the center of the stone room, and immediately stroked his long beard and said: "The true origin of this Dan furnace is not even clear to Xiao Lao'er myself. About hundreds of years ago, the fourth-generation patriarch of my Tianle Gate purchased it from a fisherman when he was traveling in Lanzhou. I heard the fisherman say that this Dan furnace was caught by him when he went out to sea to catch fish in the South China Sea, and he didn't know how ancient it was. At that time, the fourth-generation patriarch happened to know some Xuanhuang techniques, and when he saw that this Dan furnace had an extraordinary origin, he thought it was some kind of immortal thing, so he spent some silver to buy it. After the death of the fourth generation of patriarchs, he left a last word, asking my disciples of Tianle Sect to keep this Dan furnace for generations, saying that it would bring great benefits to Tianle Sect in the future. Therefore, this furnace was left in the door as a thing to suppress luck and has been passed down to this day. ”
Zhang Kuiquan said a lot in one breath, and at the end he couldn't help but sigh. Hong Wu naturally understood what he was sighing about, such as today, Lemen has gone from prosperity to decline and is about to collapse, but this Dan furnace from hundreds of years ago is still there. What do you say about suppressing luck, the future of a sect, how can a Dan furnace without spirituality be able to influence it?
After years of life, the wind and clouds have changed, and things are people and everything. The original Tianle Gate is gone, but the Dan furnace that has been passed down from generation to generation remains unchanged. For Zhang Kuiquan, this is both helpless and ironic.
Hong Wu was silent for a while, and then suddenly smiled and said, "Old man Zhang, since you don't like it so much, why don't you let it be given to me?" Of course, I won't take you for nothing, make a price, or you can also make a condition to me, how about it?"
"Uh...... Immortal Master wants this Dan furnace?" Zhang Kuiquan suddenly frowned slightly when he heard Hong Wu's thoughts, and seemed to be a little embarrassed. After all, it is something handed down by the ancestors, although it is of little use to today's Tianle Gate, but it is a symbol. Inheriting the spirit and bloodline of a sect, how can he give it to others? But when he thought about it for a moment, the expression on his face became a little excited.
For Zhang Kuiquan, gold and silver are just things outside the body, and there is nothing. But Hongwu said that he could make a condition to him in exchange for the Dan furnace, so it would be completely different. Although the man in black in front of him looked young, he seemed to be a teenager. But the cultivation is unfathomable, and I am afraid that they are all powerful existences among Qi Refiners. If you can get a promise from Hongwu, it is even more valuable than getting a city.
In Zhang Kuiquan's eyes, the Qi Refiner is simply an omnipotent existence. Kill whoever you want, kill whoever you want, go wherever you want, and be more free than the lord of a country. The temptation to exchange a useless Dan Furnace for the promise of a Qi Refiner is too great.
Hong Wu saw that Zhang Kuiquan was silent and not in a hurry, he knew that this shrewd old man would definitely not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At this time, the silence is just calculating, trying to get the most benefit from himself. Sure enough, after more than a dozen breaths, Zhang Kuiquan suddenly said, "What conditions does the immortal master refer to?"
"Hey, it's okay, any condition is fine. Since I asked you for the inheritance, I naturally won't be petty. If you have any conditions, you can just put them forward, as long as I can do it, anything can be done, including killing, of course. ”
Hong Wu's eyes flickered, and he said in a very seductive tone. "Okay, since the immortal master has said this, whether he agrees to Xiao Lao'er's conditions or not, this Dan furnace has been given to the immortal master. However, when it comes to conditions, Xiao Lao'er has a reluctant request, hoping that the immortal master can fulfill it. Zhang Kuiquan said this, but he was over eighty years old, but he suddenly bowed down to Hongwu, bowed down and said: "In order to keep the last bloodline of Tianle Gate, I hope that the immortal master can take us out of Qinguo, or even out of Zhangzhou, to a place where no one can find it." Here, too many people know the existence of Tianle Gate, and it is not a pity for the little old man to die, but the family business left by the ancestor cannot be destroyed in my hands. When Zhang Kuiquan said this, he bowed three times again, looking nervous and waiting for Hong Wu's answer. Although he knew that his conditions were a little excessive, for the sake of Tianle Sect and the surviving disciples, he could only be cheeky and seize this last hope.
