40. The Secret History of Dan Furnace

"At that time, the Canghai faction did not have a leader, and only the Nine Elders' House was set up to jointly decide the affairs of the sect. The nine elders are the disciples of the nine heavenly gods Tianying, Tianren, Tianzhu, Tianxin, Tianyu, Tianfu, Tianchong, Tianrui, and Tianpeng, and they are said to have cultivated to the realm of refining gods and transforming voids; The number of exercises is divided into 12 jade buildings, which are called Linglong, Linlang, Yaoying, Langyu, Coral, Liuli, Mingke, Broken Qiong, Baoju, Lingheng, Tianxi, and Dizhang. There are many disciples of the Canghai faction, and the exercises are treacherous and changeable, and their strength is above the other five factions. However, the first battle between Canghai and the five factions was lost, and the nine elders suspected that there were internal ghosts among the nine of them, and leaked the secret book of their own sect's exercises to the other five factions. ”

The story told by Boiled Crane is really fresh to hear. She had heard the story of the Canghai Ruins from Tiaohua, but it was unheard of for the five factions to besiege Canghai. She asked, "Would the Five Great Sects be so stubborn as to grab the things of the Canghai Sect?" That's too bullying, isn't it? ”

Boiling He smiled: "You are not an immortal cultivator, so naturally you don't understand the meaning of this treasure to the monks. With the help of the supreme spiritual treasure, the monk can be hundreds of years ahead of others on the road to becoming an immortal, who can resist such a **? ”

Lu Fenfang was silent, in fact, she could understand. As a "monk" who has no spiritual root and a sword that goes off the rails, if he doesn't have the help of the Zhuqiu Dan furnace and the South China Sea butterfly, he will cultivate immortals? You can only fix it in your dreams.

"The Nine Elders are sure that there are ghosts among them, but none of them can come up with real evidence. They became suspicious of each other, and the disciples on the twelfth floor were also suspicious and killed each other. Boiling Crane continued, "A good Canghai faction went into decline in internal and external troubles, and completely perished in the sixth siege of the five factions. Overnight, Qionglou Yuyu saw the ruins and broken walls, the fairy island in the past, and the mass grave in the present dynasty, the tragic state is embarrassing. ”

"What about the treasure of Fenglinzhou? Have they all been emptied by the five factions? Lu Fenfang asked.

"The Canghai Sect was destroyed, and the other five factions also lost many high-ranking monks. More than half of the five alliance armies assembled in the final battle were burned to death on Canghai Island with the Canghai monks, and the living monks were either crippled or insane, and less than one percent survived and continued to cultivate. And the treasures they brought back were pitiful, not enough to make up for the losses of the Hundred Years' War. ”

"Huh? Could it be that the monks of the five sects are so badly disabled that they can't even transport the spirit treasure? Lu Fenfang couldn't help but speak, this battle is too much to lose, the five factions stealing chickens and rice are not lost, and they are not repentant!

Boiled Crane said: "Definitely." In fact, in the last battle, the nine elders of Canghai were not killed, but they did not want the war to burn any longer, and they did not want to entangle with the other five factions anymore, so they released their spiritual power, soul, and flesh to form a powerful enchantment, sealing Canghai Island and Fenglin Continent in it. After several years of recuperation, the Five Great Sects also sent high-level disciples to test the enchantment. Those disciples are back, but the three souls and seven spirits are all mutilated, and the heads of several factions can't find out the reason. As a result, the five factions all temporarily gave up the spiritual treasure sealed in the ruins, until fifty years ago, the Qiu Dan Furnace, the treasure of the Canghai Relic Pearl, reappeared in the Spider Gold Cave of Yaoshan Mountain. ”

Finally, it's time to talk about the Zhuchudan furnace. Lu Fenfang hid the excitement in her heart, and then asked, "Didn't you say that the spirit treasures were sealed in the ruins, and no one could take them out?" Why does Zhuqiu appear in Yaoshan? ”

This reason is still widely discussed. Some people say that it was the inner ghost of the Canghai faction that destroyed the barrier from the inside, but the five factions have not confirmed this so far; Some people say that it was the Canghai monks who escaped before the final battle who were selling the treasures they brought out of the sect, but I don't think it's possible. ”

Lu Fenfang thought, if the barrier of the Canghai Ruins is really broken, the five factions will definitely fight again, how can it be as calm as it is now? Qi Yunshan seems to be more inclined to the second conjecture of boiling cranes, Lu Fenfang knows that in the mortal world, those big families have fallen into the middle of the road, and it is not new for the children to sell family heirlooms in order to fill their bellies; What's more, it has been a hundred years since the Canghai Sect was destroyed, and it is normal for future generations to forget their ancestors.

Boiling Crane continued: "The Zhuqiu Dan Furnace appeared in the Spider Gold Cave, and it was not taken by any monk or fairy demon, but by a Yao girl from a nearby cottage. The Yao girl and the clansmen didn't know that the Zhuqiu Dan furnace was a spiritual treasure, so they just transported it back to the cottage and left it idle. Zhuqiu's storage was then discovered by my master, who was already one of the seven kings of the demon world at that time, and it was easy to seize the Dan Furnace from mortals, but he was surprised to find that Zhuqiu actually recognized the Yao girl as the master, and it was not so easy for him to take the Dan Furnace. ”

Listening to this story, Lu Xiangfang's heart was sour and cold. She doesn't understand what kind of character this Zhuqiu Dan furnace is, how can she love to recognize mortal women as the master! She didn't want to listen to it anymore, but she had to pretend to be curious: "What about later? ”

"At that time, there were many people in the Yao village who believed in Laoshan Taoism, so my master pretended to be a Laoshan Taoist priest and accepted Yao women as apprentices. It is also a trick of fate, that Yao girl is actually a fake spiritual root of the five spirit roots, and her cultivation is hopeless, and it is impossible to expect her to completely cut off the connection with the Dan furnace after forging her bones through the Book of Changes. The master had no choice but to seek the method of taking the Dan furnace on the one hand, and on the other hand, to teach the Yao Nu Taoism. In order to deceive Yao Nu, he accepted many mortal disciples as disciples, but the order was ahead of Yao Nu. I, too, am one of them. ”

This Ji Ke is scheming deep enough, in order to seize the Dan furnace, the effort is really meticulous! Boiling Crane continued: "The spiritual root of the Yao girl is not pure, and the master did not cultivate her with his heart, but only gave her a lot of anti-beauty and light-weight pills. Thirty years have passed, Yao Nu's face is not old, and she has learned the master's stunt 'Out of the Netherworld', she thinks that she has succeeded in cultivation, but in fact, she has not even broken through the second layer of Qi training. In order to do enough tricks, Master never allowed us brothers and sisters to compete with each other, and we didn't know the true cultivation of our junior sisters. My second brother is the most naughty, one day when the master is not pestering the sister to compete, only to find that the sister is useless except for the outstanding body method. He saw through this, but he didn't tell Senior Sister SΓΉ, only told me about it alone. ”

The second senior brother that Boiled He said was the blue-clothed ghost who she and Wu Yingshao saw in the gourd cave. Seeing that Lu Fenfang obviously did not cultivate, but she would go out of the secluded and into the underworld to make her supernatural, she insisted that she was a corpse borrowed from the fragrant dust to return her soul, Lu Fenfang also thought that the infancier was dizzy after being confined for too long, and now she finally understood:

Xiangchen Lian is the same as Lu Fenfang, both of them are practiced by taking light body pills to enter the dark step when their cultivation is extremely weak, and it is naturally similar to the feeling when they are displayed, no wonder the burning qin will admit his mistake!

"Then you see something strange, have you ever explored the root cause?" Lu Fenfang asked.

Boiled Crane shook his head and said, "It would be nice to find out the root cause at that time." We didn't think much about it at the time, and thought that the senior sister deliberately hid her cultivation and was not sincere in competing with others. After that, my junior sister didn't show up again for about a month, and I thought that the master had found out about the private competition, and she was punished and grounded, so I didn't look for her. Who knew that after my sister returned to the Spider Gold Cave, she actually said to me with a red face that she was getting married and would not be able to cultivate with us in the future. ”

Lu Fenfang let out a long breath, it seems that Xiangchen Lian has met Wu Yingshao's father. Boiled He said: "My second senior brother and I were surprised, she got married privately, I don't know if the master will allow it." She told us that the person she was going to marry was a monk of the Penglai sect named Wu Jinxi. ”

It turned out that Wu Yingshao's father was called Wu Jinxi. Lu Fenfang asked, "Then did your master allow it?" If your junior sister marries someone else, it will be difficult for your master to take the Dan furnace. ”

Boiled Crane sighed, "Yes." Therefore, my master will never agree to my sister leaving the Spider Gold Cave, and will lock her up in the Lingxiao Cave and not allow us to visit. Later, the junior sister cried so pitifully that the second senior brother and I couldn't stand it anymore, so the two of them worked together to quietly break the formation set up by the master at the entrance of the cave and let the junior sister out. ”

"No, if your master is determined to lock up your junior sister, the formation must be tight, how can the two of you break it together?" Lu Fenfang quickly heard the strangeness in this.

Boiling He smiled bitterly: "If only I and the second senior brother could be as smart as you back then." We were so anxious to save our sister that we didn't think about it so much, and we thought that the master was soft-hearted after all, and deliberately relaxed the power of the formation restraints. In fact, that formation is called 'Serial Tribulation', there are six times, I and the second senior brother broke two, and four are still there, and then I went to see, the sixth layer is the most dangerous, the array is dozens of ancient beasts, if people go in, nine times out of ten they can't get out. ”

Hearing this, Lu Fenfang exclaimed, "Oh my God, why didn't you say it earlier!" Uncle Xiao is in Lingxiao Cave! When we were separated, he was breaking that 'serial robbery'! ”

Lu Fenfang was so anxious that she was about to cry, and Boiled Crane was also so anxious that she slapped her legs. He said sharply: "Girl, it's too late, you are about to break through the Shizhi maze and take me to Lingxiao Cave!" ”

"However, if I break the maze, you will ......"

"It can always last a while." Boiling Crane didn't allow Lu Fenfang to hesitate, and reopened the maze, "Quick!" ”

Sitting and talking, Lu Fenfang's legs had already regained consciousness, she picked up the flower on her back, and began to jump according to the arrangement of the words on the letter, cracking the remaining maze as fast as she could.

The last column of runes dimmed. All the stalactites were retracted, the shizhi was restored to its original height, and the secret door to the next cavern was opened. Lu Fenfang saw that the boiled crane was still sitting there, he did not hesitate at all, and slowly stood up, the jade-like luster on his skin began to spread, and the look in his pupils also melted into a bottomless black.

The moment he stood up, his back began to slump; The moment he raised his hand, his skin wrinkled and his muscles flare; The moment he looked at Lu Fenfang, he was fifty years old. It turned out that this was the speed at which he died!

"It's too late, let's go."

Lu Fenfang then followed the boiled crane down. She hoped to save Wu Yingshao soon, but she didn't want to see Boiled Crane die so quickly. After several suspicions, she finally confirmed that he was a good person, but she could only watch his life drain away and could do nothing.

Boiled Crane has been cultivating in the Spider Gold Cave for decades, and he can walk freely in the cave with his eyes closed, coupled with the effect of the shadow wood leaves, he came to the entrance of the Lingxiao Cave with Lu Fenfang in a short time. Lu Fenfang reminded: "Your second senior brother Yanqin is also inside!" ”

"What?" Boiled Crane was startled, and suddenly heard a loud noise, and the door of the cave facing the two was blown open, and a strong force knocked Boiled Crane to the ground.
