1. The bloody case caused by Tianlinggen
"Hey, wake up, wake up!"
"Don't disturb me, let me sleep again, ......"
"Wake up! Have you slept enough? β
"It's raining today, so don't you open so early...... The opening was not ...... Business...... Whew......"
"When you die, you still talk in your dreams, wake me up, you little!"
Lu Fenfang, a small handyman in the spice shop, was still dreaming of not having to get up early on a rainy day, when suddenly a big fluffy ass fell from the sky and woke her up. It's strange, the proprietress doesn't have a cat, where did the cat bounce on people's faces......
Lu Fenfang chirped, slowly opened her eyes, and sure enough, there was a small yellow cat squinting at her. Slowly, this kitten is obviously the same as other cats, with two eyes, two nostrils and a mouth, why does it look so strange?
Yes? This "cat" unexpectedly, unexpectedly, has a human face!
Lu Fenfang sat up, like a pig on the grill howling and squirming for dozens of breaths. After tossing for a long time, she finally found that her hands and feet were tied with thick ropes, and she was locked in a dim and cramped secret room. In addition to this strange cat with a human face, there was only a two-foot-high bronze Dan furnace in the entire secret room.
Dan furnace?
She remembered. When she got up early this morning, she sent the boxes of spices ordered by Daoist Jia to Wanshouguan, and Jia Zhenren was very polite, so she invited her to drink the most famous Baiyue Maojian in Xiuyang City, and then ......
She doesn't remember what happened next. Wanshouguan is the most vigorous Taoist temple in Xiuyang City, and Daoist Jia is also kind and kind-eyed, and is very respected by the people, how could he put medicine in tea and tie her up here?
Lu Fenfang wrapped around her sore wrist, which was enough to stuff into an adult's Dan furnace, and she felt a hair in her heart. The human-faced monster cat said: "Don't struggle, there is a spell on this rope, and the knife can't cut it." β
"Spells?" Lu Fenfang was too frightened to move. Lu Fenfang works in the spice shop, and in her spare time, she also reads a lot of books in the shopkeeper's collection, what "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Taiping Yulan", "River Map and Earth Elephant", "The Legend of the Immortals", and the things about martial arts and magic fairies and monsters still know a little bit about it, but she reads it as a story, and never thought that it would be like now, tied by a rope with immortal magic!
"So, Daoist Jia is an immortal?" Lu Fenfang was puzzled, "Why did he tie me up, I didn't do anything bad!" β
"Doing bad things? You...... Hahaha, what a nerd, I don't even know when and why Daoist Jia is targeting you! The strange cat laughed and fell, clutching his stomach and forming a ball on the ground, "Oh, Jia Maode is just a waste of the fifth layer of Qi cultivation in his sixties, you actually think he is an immortal body, I really haven't seen the world!" β
Lu Fenfang glanced at the strange cat and said: "I was originally a maker of incense and selling incense, isn't it normal to not understand these things of practicing qi and cultivating immortals, what's ridiculous." β
"That's it, Jia Maode is preparing the materials for alchemy, and he has to be busy for a while, so I'll tell you about Qi cultivation and immortal cultivation - no, no, no, to be precise, it's Dan Dao cultivation!"
The strange cat lay down with his front legs crossed, and said slowly: "Taoist cultivation is to refine the human body's essence, qi, and spirit', and to guard the three dantians and the two veins of Tongren and Du, so as to achieve the unity of heaven and man, the unity of body and Tao, and become an immortal." There are eight advanced stages of Dan Dao cultivation: Qi training, foundation building, Dan knotting, Yuan Infant, Transforming God, refining void, Mahayana, and crossing tribulation. I just said that Jia Maode is only the fifth level of Qi training, do you know what level he is? β
Lu Fenfang understood. Although Daoist Jia can order small spells, he is still 108,000 miles away from the real immortals. Then she asked, "Then he took me captive forβ"
The strange cat suddenly jumped up and took a bronze mirror from the wall, and a strong light shot out of the mirror to pierce Lu Xiangfang's eyebrows. She dodged sideways, suddenly felt her lower abdomen swell, and then instantly her whole body was filled with strength, as if every skin and bone were full.
This moment seemed to be a long time, and when she opened her eyes again, the bronze mirror had been hung back on the wall, and the strange cat still squinted at her, and her eyes were even more weird.
"This bronze mirror is called the Huoqi Mirror, which is a magic weapon that can measure people's qualifications. All mortals have spiritual roots, which are divided into five attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. If you have more than four kinds of spiritual roots, it is a pseudo-spiritual root, and the cultivation speed is very slow, and it is difficult to become a great tool; There are two or three attributes of the spirit root for the true spirit root, each attribute of the spirit root is abundant, and the cultivation speed is fast; And the spiritual root with only one attribute is the Heavenly Spirit Root, the cultivation speed is several times faster than the ordinary spiritual root, there is no bottleneck in the Jie Dan, it can be said that it is the pride of the heavens in the immortal cultivation world, and you are precisely the mortal who has the Heavenly Spirit Root, the darling of the heavens! β
Heavenly Spirit Root? Heaven's darling? Do you mean me?
Lu Fenfang felt incredible, and she retorted: "Impossible, my ancestors have been farmers for generations, where did they get any immortal cultivation qualifications?" β
"Hehe, how can it be wrong that the Fire Qi Mirror is an ancient magic weapon? Your water-based Heavenly Spirit Root is an excellent material for refining Heavenly Immortal Jade Dew, and Jia Maode took Heavenly Immortal Jade Dew and stepped into the realm of Yudan with one foot. Now you understand why he arrested you, right? β
Lu Fenfang slumped to the ground. What kind of heavenly spirit root, what kind of qi cultivation foundation, she just hopes that what she hears and sees now is all a dream. She has also gone to school and studied, and she has probably dreamed of riding the wind and becoming an immortal, but she hopes that her parents in her hometown will live a long and healthy life, her younger siblings will grow up safely, and the family can live a neat and ordinary life. However, this sudden immortal cultivation qualification messed up all the qiΔ. Her simplest and most mundane dreams can no longer be realized.
"Little girl, scared silly?" The strange cat raised his paws to cover his mouth and smiled, "You want to drive some too." is also a heavenly spirit root, if he is born in Qiyun Mountain, the holy land of Daomen, he will definitely be accepted as an apprentice by the old Taoists of Taisu Palace, and the ascension is just around the corner; But born in this mortal farming family, he can only be reduced to the fertilizer of the elixir. You, just accept your fate! β
Reconciled? Are you telling me to sit back and die? Lu Fenfang's scalp was tingling from the thunderbolt on this sunny day just now, but when she heard the strange cat telling her to "accept her fate", she couldn't help but let out a sneer in her heart. yes, she's in a desperate situation now, God told her to die here, butβ
The strange cat noticed the contempt in her laughter, and frowned unhappily.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Wei Mei, and I am the demon who guards the Dan furnace for Jarmod. What's wrong? β
Demon? Lu Fenfang seemed to have seen this kind of monster in a book, and she remembered that the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" did write a kind of monster with a beast body and a human face that was good at confusing people, and it was called a ghost. She still remembers that she doesn't know which book said, "Chiyou is handsome and charming, fighting with the Yellow Emperor in Zhuolu, and the emperor ordered to blow the horn and make a dragon chant to resist it", which seems to be the same as this charm.
"Your ancestor is also a minister of Chiyou, how did you fall to the point of watching the Dan furnace for this low-level qi cultivator?"
Lu Fenfang's words obviously asked about the sore spot of the ghost. Wei Mei shook her head coldly: "Phew! Who will listen to the drive of Naja Daoist, I deign to be here not to look at the Treasure Dan Furnace? β
"Oh? What is the origin of this Dan furnace, it can't be an ancient artifact, right? Lu Fenfang asked, tilting her head.
"I really don't know Mount Tai with eyes, this Dan furnace is Cangwu Mountain...... Well? Why am I telling you this? The charm licked her paws and washed her face like a cat, "You should be less idle!" In a few moments, Daoist Jia will be back, you have to cry for yourself, and you are ready to die! β
Moment? It's too short. Lu Fenfang had already seen that the charm only had contempt for Daoist Jia, and what it really guarded was the Lingbao Dan furnace. She still wanted to fight for the charm again, but it was a quarter of an hour...... It's really too short.
"Am I going to be reduced to ashes in this furnace later?" Lu Fenfang shook her head and said, "Killing and taking blood, won't it really defile the fetish?" β
"Shut up!" The Charm roared. Speaking of the Dan Furnace being defiled, the Charm was even more angry.
Lu Fenfang was about to say something more, when she suddenly heard the wooden door "bang" and was kicked open, Jia Daoist was so angry for some reason, and scolded and said, "This ...... Impossible, how could it be! Fall short, fall short! β
Daoist Jia was furious, where was there still the appearance of the fairy wind bones on weekdays. He picked up Lu Xiangxiang's arm, and the spit Xingzi flew straight into her eyes: "Lao Tzu ordered it to be Dharma Protector incense, why did he send it with nectar incense!" How do you Baoxiangzhai do business, don't you even know the order! β
Jia Daoshi slammed Lu Fenfang to the ground. Lu Fenfang was in pain, and wanted to kick him hard - but finally held back. Lu Fenfang coughed a few times and said: "The real person's order clearly says that it is manna and two coins, and Bao Xiangzhai will definitely not be mistaken!" β
"Humph!" Daoist Jia flipped through the order he signed a few times and stopped talking. I think he made the mistake of placing the order. After working for half a year, the time and place are favorable, and even the most rare Tianlinggen woman has been caught, but she carelessly ordered the wrong incense medicine that is not rare but indispensable. It's such a big irony, no wonder the old thing is going to blow up.
"Dao Chief, it is not easy to configure the Dharma Protector Incense, if you delay it any longer, I am afraid that you will miss the best time to refine the Heavenly Immortal Jade Dew. If you miss today, you have to wait another six months...... There are many dreams at night. The charm reminded him.
Two cold rays of light in Daoist Jia's narrow eyes forced Lu Xiangxiang into his heart, and he was thoughtful. It must have been too late to call the nearest Bao Xiang Zhai to make Dharma Protector Incense, because the most skilled female worker of their craft, that is, Lu Fenfang, had already been kidnapped here by him.
Do you want Lu Fenfang to try to make Dharma Protector incense? What if she lets go and she waits for an opportunity to escape? What if she is resentful and does things in the incense? Daoist Jia hesitated, but he was so anxious that he had no choice but to take a dangerous move. He asked, "Can you tell me what raw materials and utensils are needed to prepare the Dharma Protector Incense?" If you have all the materials, can you match them? β
Lu Fenfang sneered when she heard this: "Hmph! Do you think I, Lu Fenfang, am an idiot, and I have to replace the number of people when I am sold? β
When Daoist Jia heard Lu Fenfang say this, he became more and more angry, and stepped on her head with one foot: "Hmph, if you give me a good Dharma Protector incense within a quarter of an hour, I will let you die a happy death; If you don't deserve itβ"
Jia Daoshi slid out a dazzling dagger from his sleeve and slowly swam to Lu Fenfang's face: "I will cut off your flesh piece by piece and slowly throw it into the Dan furnace." You can taste the taste of Ling Chi! β
