Chapter 1734: The Battle of the Jindan Gate
Qianyu Han and Yu Qianyan didn't expect the result to be like this, and they froze in disbelief.
Han Tie was overjoyed, reacted, straightened his waist and was about to kowtow to Yao Lao.
"Slow!" The Fifth Ancestor snorted coldly, and the smile that had been hanging on his face completely disappeared. There seemed to be an invisible wall of qi in front of Han Tie, and he wanted to kowtow, but he couldn't even bend his waist.
"Lao Jiu, how about we go inside?" The Seventh Ancestor looked at Zhen Cheng with anger in his eyes, because Zhen Cheng's words violated the taboo of the other eight Ancestors of Kaikabo Peak.
"The four of you exit the medicine garden first!" The pride and joy on Yao Lao's face just now disappeared, he glanced at Han Tie and the other four, and with a wave of his long sleeves, the bodies of the four couldn't help but retreat into the passage, "Zhen Cheng, you come in with me too!" ”
"Yes!" Zhen Cheng secretly stuck out his tongue, and secretly cursed in his heart.
One can be complacent, but don't get carried away. Zhen Cheng didn't expect that his casual words had attracted the attention of the three ancestors. Judging from the looks of several ancestors, Zhen Cheng felt as if he was in trouble.
Yao Lao generally likes to do alchemy in the afternoon or evening, and in the morning, even if he gets up, he stays in the cave to read a book or prepare medicinal materials for the afternoon and evening alchemy.
Zhen Cheng didn't know that the innermost part of the entire cave was actually Yao Lao's medicinal herb storehouse! There, there are almost all kinds of medicinal materials of various years required for alchemy, and they are all there.
Between the medicinal herb warehouse and the outside living room, it is the place where Yao Lao often uses alchemy.
In the mountains, there is no shortage of tea. After the three ancestors walked into Yao Lao's living room, they each chose a small bamboo chair to sit on. After Zhen Cheng was busy making tea for the three ancestors, he obediently stood behind Yao Lao.
The Fifth Ancestor and the Seventh Ancestor did not speak, and drank tea silently.
Zhen Cheng stood in a worried mood, unable to understand what was wrong with his handling just now.
"Zhen Cheng, tell me about your decision just now, was it intentional or unintentional?" There was no smile on the rich face of the fifth ancestor.
"Do the five ancestors refer to the words under the gate of the medicine garden?" Zhen Cheng chuckled in his heart, and a feeling of unhappiness hit his heart. Although the surface of the Fifth Ancestor was calm, Zhen Cheng could feel that the Fifth Ancestor had a killing intent towards him. Seeing Yao Lao drinking tea silently, Zhen Cheng calmed down a little and asked respectfully.
"Hmm!" The Fifth Ancestor nodded and snorted coldly.
"The five ancestors may have misunderstood! I'm from the outside shijie, the word "under the door" generally refers to the meaning that someone will be in my charge in the future, and there is no other meaning! Maybe I just misused the words! "Don't be embarrassed for a child, he is my person, you two can just say it if you have something to say!" After so many years, this is a question that cannot be avoided! Walking into the cave, Yao Lao, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke after Zhen Cheng finished speaking.
"Lao Jiu, are you so pessimistic?" The Seventh Ancestor glanced at Zhen Cheng and only said half of his sentence.
"Zhen Cheng, you go outside and wait for us, don't leave!" The Fifth Ancestor commanded noisily, and looked at Zhen Cheng with fierce eyes and warned.
Zhen Cheng didn't move! The county official is not as good as the current management, since Yao Lao said that he is his person, then he must listen to Yao Lao's orders!
"Get out first!" Yao Lao didn't give the fifth ancestor a reason to lose his temper, he didn't look at Zhen Cheng, waved his sleeves, and Zhen Cheng's body couldn't help but retreat outside.
Zhen Cheng didn't know what the old guys were going to do, but since they had already issued an eviction order, it was not good for him not to leave. Retreating to the door of Yao Lao's cave, Zhen Cheng found a big stone and sat on the edge of the ginseng herb field. A heart of curiosity was aroused, Zhen Cheng closed his eyes, meditating and feeling the situation in the stone cave.
As soon as Zhen Cheng's pre-perception reached the mouth of Yao Lao's stone cave, he felt a tingling pain in his head, and his pre-perception ability came to an abrupt end.
Zhen Cheng hurriedly gathered his mind, meditated and exercised, and did not dare to try again. Needless to say, when a few old guys were talking about things, they must have used some method to silence their voices, otherwise the old thing of the Five Ancestors would not let themselves wait at the entrance of the cave.
Zhen Cheng was right, the conversation between the Fifth Ancestor, the Seventh Ancestor, and the Ninth Ancestor had already started fiercely the moment Zhen Cheng walked out of the stone cave.
"Lao Jiu, you accept apprentices, we have no objection! We can take three apprentices each, and you can take three too! But what Jindanmen must you establish? If you do, then what are the other eight of us? Do the eight of us still call you the master of the door? If you feel that the number of three apprentices is not enough, it is better to increase it, as long as you don't start a sect, the rest is easy to say! The Seventh Ancestor was still silent, and the Fifth Ancestor said with a calm face and solemnly, "Fifty years ago, you proposed to establish the Jindanmen, and the nine of us have also studied it together, and the zuihou minority obeys the majority, so forget it!" Why do you have this idea now? ”
"Fifth brother, my establishment of Jindanmen is a last wish of my father! I remember the help you eight brothers have given me! But I'm not like my father, I'm a cripple! As long as you stand for more than a cup of tea, your legs are as uncomfortable as pins and needles! For so many years, I have been in control, but as I get older, my pain tends to worsen! We have been living and cultivating like this since we moved to the present, so I can understand your thoughts! But it's not a thing to keep going like this, in case one day I suddenly have braids, and we don't even have a person who can do alchemy when we open Kabo Peak, have you ever thought about the consequences? Yao Lao's expression was very excited, because Zhen Cheng's words made Yao Lao realize that if some things were not grasped quickly, it might be too late.
"What is hateful is that the whereabouts of the pill prescription needed for Jindan's late cultivation and the pill prescription for Jindan's breakthrough Yuanying are unknown! If the pill is still there, as long as you refine the pill, we people will live for at least a few hundred more years! Exasperating! The Seventh Ancestor added with a stern expression and said hatefully.
"Don't get your hopes up for this! Our ancestors have been alchemizing until my generation is extinct! That Dan Fang has also been tracking for hundreds of years, and he only knows what was lost in this area, but who knows where it will fall? Even if Danfang is still there, if it is known by people who don't know the goods, it is estimated that it has been discarded as waste paper! "Yao Lao, full of regret." Decades ago, I wanted to make disciples, but the vast majority of them were against it! It's been a stalemate until now, and we've maintained it like this. Today, Zhen Cheng's words reminded me, I think the mood of the two old brothers should be similar to mine! ”
The Fifth Ancestor and the Seventh Ancestor didn't speak, because what Yao Lao said was the truth.
If you find a selfless person in Kaikabo Peak, then this person must be the Sixth Ancestor; But if you find someone who is willing to dedicate and does not care about remuneration, then this person must be Yao Lao.
Zhen Cheng is right, the people of one village and two villages, if they don't have medicine, then they can only eat feces and cultivate.
The population of the second village is increasing, although some people have stopped distributing pills before they have broken through the foundation building period at the age of forty. But even so, because the population base is too large, and there is no practice of jihua fertility here, there are too many young and outstanding children and the population under the age of forty.
Coupled with the demand for pills from some deacons and the families of the eight ancestors above the foundation building period, it was too difficult for Yao Lao to maintain the pills of so many people alone.
"I'm old! After so many years of indulging in alchemy, I have never cultivated seriously! If you accept apprentices in your way, although you can still let Kaikabo Peak continue, who dares to guarantee that my apprentices will also be willing to dedicate pills to Kaikabo Peak like me? The establishment of the Jindan Sect and the recruitment of disciples can not only reduce the workload of the alchemist, but also allow us to open Kabo Peak and grow stronger! More than fifty years ago, I mentioned it once, and you vetoed it! Today, Zhen Cheng reminds me that I feel a lot! I don't know if I can live for fifty years, but you brothers can, so many of our juniors still have to cultivate, this matter must be decided as soon as possible! ”
If Zhen Cheng saw Yao Lao at this time, he would definitely be moved, and he would not feel guilty for saying so many words praising Yao Lao just now.
The Fifth Ancestor and the Seventh Ancestor looked at each other, sighed, and thought about their hearts.
Fifty years ago, Yao Lao proposed to establish the Kaikabo Peak Jindan Gate, and the main reason was this. The main reason why many ancestors oppose it is that they are worried that Yao Lao will take too many apprentices, and then the family will become dominant.
This kind of worry is not unfounded, because with the support of the elixir, Yao Lao can completely make his disciples surpass the disciples of other ancestors by a lot.
Many ancestors were selfish and strongly opposed, so that the current dilemma appeared.
The fifth ancestor and the seventh ancestor came to the medicine garden together, and it was not as simple as simply visiting and reminiscing about the past. As Yao Lao said, in the past three years, the demand for pills has increased, but the finished pills refined by Yao Lao have become less and less. Although the Fifth Ancestor came up with an idea and opened an entertainment workshop, it accelerated the circulation of the elixir. But the elixir is different from banknotes, the elixir is a consumable, and after use, it disappears completely, and then it needs to be re-refined.
Although Yao Lao is an ancestor of the Jindan period, he is also a human being, and after alchemy for so many years, the eight ancestors are clear in their hearts.
If fifty years ago, it was suspected that Yao Lao wanted to establish the Jindanmen family, then in the past fifty years, Yao Lao's selfless dedication made the Fifth Ancestor and the Seventh Ancestor and others really speechless.
Yao Lao has never secretly hidden pills, which can be seen from Yao Lao's cultivation. The Five Ancestors and the others are already in the middle stage of Jindan, but Yao Lao is still at the level of the early stage of Jindan, and his fighting skills have never been learned.
Looking at Yao Lao's almost crippled legs, the Fifth Ancestor and the Seventh Ancestor looked at each other for a long time, nodded, and the Fifth Ancestor said, "Me and the Seventh Ancestor, go back to the back mountain today, tell the eldest brother what you think, if the eldest brother doesn't object, just do as you say!" But before this matter is confirmed, take care of that Zhen Cheng and don't let him talk nonsense! The other four people who made mistakes, we will take them back first, what do you think? ”
"Do what the fifth brother says!" Although it was just an illusory hope, Yao Lao was as happy as if he had picked up a gold ingot, "Tell the eldest brother that Danfang still has to work hard to find it!" If you can refine a Yuan Infant Pill in your lifetime, what a pity if you die! ”
"Hmm!" The Fifth Ancestor and the Seventh Ancestor agreed, and the two of them drifted out and left.
