Chapter 8 Elixir Quenching the Body
Early the next morning.
"Let's go! My old friend should have prepared the auxiliary things, the quenching will last for a day and a night, and you can go directly on the road after tomorrow," Ding Lao came to knock on Yang Kong's door early, and left first after a word.
Yang Kong answered, hurriedly tidied up his clothes, didn't bring anything, and followed out.
The two of them passed by the crooked alleys, and after they came to a remote place on the southeast side of Kuliang City, they began to emit a foul smell, Yang Kong frowned, it seemed that there was a place for the spicy chicken to be processed in front of them.
Sure enough, when he walked around another corner, a big pit appeared in his vision, which was filled with spicy chicken, and there was a dilapidated house above the edge of the pit, no accident, it should be the destination, Yang Kong thought so.
Sure enough, Ding Lao walked directly to the small dilapidated house, knocked on the door directly, and soon the door opened, and an old man of the same grade as him appeared, sloppy, he didn't say anything, opened the door and walked in.
Ding Lao nodded at Yang Kong and walked in, Yang Kong signaled and followed in.
The house was very dilapidated, except for some firewood, a big black ding, a tattered bed, and some clay pots were thrown around.
Yang Kong looked at the big black tripod with his own care, this tripod is bigger than the water tank, and he doesn't know what material it is made of, it is black and black, and the tripod is full of various elixirs, dried spirit insects, and a porcelain jar.
At this time, Ding Lao was talking with the sloppy old man.
Yang Kong learned from Ding Lao yesterday that this old man's name is 'Ji Lao', he is silent by nature, he doesn't like to talk much, he is a friend he made when he traveled, he is a pharmacist, he studies all kinds of exotic flowers and plants every day, and rarely goes out, Ding Lao is looking for him to adjust the elixir bath and quench his body.
"Are you ready, Kong'er? It should be ten years old before the quenching is carried out, I don't know your actual age, I'm afraid you can't bear it. Ding Lao and the old man had almost discussed, and turned to Yang Kongdao.
"Grandpa Ding, don't worry, I'm not afraid, I will definitely be able to persevere to the end. Yang Kong was also waiting for it, because he knew what it meant, this medicinal bath had the effect of washing the marrow and cutting the bones and enhancing the meridian physique, of course, the premise was that it could survive.
I don't know what kind of powerful flame is used, just a quarter of an hour the spring water in the big ding has been boiling, Ji Lao looked serious, personally stood in front of the ding, rhythmically threw the elixir and spirit insects into the ding, and after a short time, the boiling water changed color and floated out a strange smell.
Then Ji Lao took the porcelain jars and opened them one by one, and all kinds of living spirit insects rushed out of the jars, which were very strange and terrifying.
Ji Lao's fingertips swept through the divine power, shook them to death, and threw them into the ding.
This water suddenly became colorful, all kinds of spirit insects were dense, and the strange smell filled the entire hut.
Yang Kong's face turned green in an instant, which really made his scalp tingle, so many spirit insects were densely packed, and there were so many elixirs, mixed together, looking at it, he felt a little weak in his heart.
Ding Lao squinted at him from the side and said, "What, are you scared?" I think that when the old man broke into the courtyard of a poisoner alone, the whole courtyard was covered with strange poisonous insects, and he didn't blink his eyes. ”
"Why are you going to the Poison Insect Master's Mansion if you have nothing to do?" Yang Kong said curiously.
"There is a spiritual spring in that place, soaking in the spring has the effect of retaining the body, women who love beauty often go to the spring, I went to visit the poisoner with him, discussed buying some poisonous insects, and he took advantage of our inattention, secretly ran to the spiritual spring to steal ......"
"Ji Lao'er, shut up, is the old man that kind of person?" Ding Lao glared at Ji Lao and shouted.
Ji Lao hugged his shoulders deafly, and looked at each other with disdain, and he didn't plan to say more.
As the temperature gradually increased, the medicinal liquid in the Ding began to decrease, Ji Lao became serious at this time, and said to Ding Lao, "Shaking up Zhu Ling's birthday, I used my divine power to forcibly inject the elixir essence into the Ding. ”
When Ding Lao heard this, he hurriedly took out the Zhu Ling Festival and threw it into the sky, slapped it, and the Zhu Ling Festival instantly turned into powder, and finally condensed a drop of gold droplets, dazzling and dazzling, dazzling people's eyes, this is its preciousness, that is the divine essence of the elixir.
Ji Lao took it personally, waved his palm, and rushed out one divine power after another, injecting the few drops of golden liquid that were about to fall into the ding, and the colorful boiling water instantly became brilliant, and the liquid inside suddenly turned golden. A particularly strong aroma comes out.
"Lao Ding and I injected divine power to suppress it to prevent the essence from leaking out, and the little guy is ready to enter the Ding. Ji Lao asked again.
"Understood!" Yang Kong replied and began to take off his robe.
The fire was fierce, and the golden-colored slurry in the ding emitted bursts of golden light, illuminating the entire hut, and Ji Lao turned his head and urged, "The little guy is entering the ding quickly, what are you doing to hide your hair before it grows?"
Hearing the hurried call, Yang Kong couldn't care so much and let go of his hands, jumped forward, mobilized his divine power to protect his body, and fell into the boiling big ding, and the brilliant golden liquid suddenly submerged him.
Hiss~ Looking at Yang Kong, who let go of his hands and jumped into the ding, Ding Lao Ji Lao looked shocked at the same time, how old is this little guy......?
The liquid in the black big tripod emitted bursts of golden light, Yang Kong was lying inside, the golden slurry was constantly bubbling out one after another, and the rich aroma made him intoxicated.
But the good times didn't last long, Yang Kong felt the hot pain began to come, this feeling was like being tormented by the most painful, from the inside to the outside as if it was burning, the heat was unbearable, he had to grit his teeth, close his eyes, and couldn't help but tremble.
Ding Lao stared nervously, not because he felt sorry for the Five Thousand Divine Primordial Stones, but because he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it and die directly.
Yang Kong endured the scorching pain, and according to the method explained by Ding Lao, he absorbed the essence of the potion and baptized every flesh and blood in his body.
The golden liquid continued to bubble, Yang Kong kept gritting his teeth and trembling inside, at this moment he was already red, as if cooked, the essence continued to seep into his body, and then some stains came out from the pores, over and over again.
This is an extremely torturous process, very domineering, not something that ordinary people can bear, this is not a simple washing of the outer layer, but every flesh and blood in the body is frantically infiltrating, and every cell in the body is suffering.
Yang Kong gritted his teeth, and frantically received the elixir essence to refine every place in his body according to the instructions, from the inside out, although it was in severe pain, he still persevered.
The essence of the spirit continues to impact over and over again, the whole person is going to explode, and it is rapidly nourished, although the whole body is blood-red, but there is a crystal luster that keeps flashing, and the meridians don't know how many times they have been broken, and finally they are repaired again and again, making them more solid, white and tough.
After enduring a hellish day of tempering, Yang Kong experienced unimaginable sharp changes, he deeply felt that his body was countless times tougher than yesterday, the meridians seemed to have become spiritual, the divine power was absorbed faster, and the stored divine power became more and more powerful.
When the morning came, he opened his eyes and shouted, "Grandpa Ding, I don't know if there is no elixir essence left, or if I have reached the limit and there is no reaction anymore." ”
"It worked! it worked, haha. Ding Lao shouted excitedly.
"Yes, the little one is more resilient than I imagined, and since he has not said a word for a day and a night, it is hard to imagine that he is just a ten-year-old child. A smile squeezed out of Ji Lao's face, which had never been smiling.
Yang Kong felt that his body had become lighter than ever, and the divine power in his body seemed to be a few percent more than yesterday, and he shouted, his feet were a little to the bottom of the ding, and the whole person rose to the sky, and the fluctuations of divine power emitted made the second elder's heart jump for a while.
This feeling is wonderful, the whole body is ethereal, and the fluctuation of the surrounding divine power is even stronger, Yang Kong is immersed in this state, and he can't help but mobilize the surrounding divine power to see what kind of realm he has reached.
Suddenly, there was a loud 'bang', Yang Kong looked down, only to see that the big ding had cracked open, and the potion was splashing everywhere.
When Ding Lao saw that Da Ding was broken, he felt a pimple in his heart, hurriedly jumped up and pulled Yang Kong's feet, and galloped towards the door with fluttering footwork.
"Ji Lao'er, the old man is shy now, and he really can't afford to pay it back, when the old man escorts Kong'er to the Sword Yuan Sect, and after returning from a few years of travel, if you are still alive and well, we will discuss the matter of compensation. ”
"Ding Quede, you old man, I don't know you yet? Don't go back to the west in the clouds, this Ding is the wealth of the old man's life, without eighteen thousand god primordial stones, this matter can't be finished, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, this time I will definitely collect this debt." From afar, there was the sound of Ji Lao's anger and deplorability.
"Old friends hope we will see each other again," Ding Lao muttered to himself, resolutely leaving.
Yang Kong silently looked at the strange way of saying goodbye to the two old grandfathers.
Soon, he felt that something was wrong in an instant, and his whole body was cold, making Yang Kong's tempered face unconsciously hot, and he hurriedly broke free and ran back.
"Grandpa Ding, I'll go back and take down my clothes first. Yang grabbed the key points with his empty hands and rushed back.
Ding Lao hurriedly dragged him back, put him on his shoulder and continued to float towards the inn, playing with the taste; "You little doll, who will watch you move little?"
Yang Kong was in a hurry, tore the old man's back, tore off a large piece of cloth, and quickly circled with one hand, wrapping himself tightly before he put his mind at ease.
"Grandpa Ding can't help it, anyway, you are shameless. ”
Ding Lao not only did not panic, but also smiled proudly and said, "The old man is a man with a protective armor."
......
Although it was early in the morning, the streets were still bustling with people.
At this moment, an old man with snow-white hair and a linen robe was carrying a small doll to an inn, and the rags behind the old man were flying straight to the soles of his feet, and a piece of fiery red cloth was tightly wrapped in his robe.
Countless people looked at the two grandpas in amazement, and burst into bursts of discussions, some of them even pointing.
"Who is this old thief?
"This old man is too blatant, Lao Tzu wants to do the right thing for heaven. ”
"Shh~ This old guy has advanced footwork, and his cultivation must be strong, you don't want to die?"
Hearing someone analyze it like this, some people who wanted to stop it were afraid for a while and watched helplessly.
......
"Ouch, Grandpa Ding, you can't be gentle," Yang Kong, who was thrown to the ground as soon as he entered the inn door, said with a grin.
"Hurry up and pack up, hurry up and get out of the city! The guy who lived in yesterday's auction will not give up, and hurry up before he gets our details right," Ding Lao dropped this sentence and walked to his room.
When Yang Kong put on his clothes and came out with a wooden sword on his back, Ding Lao had already led two wild bulls and was waiting at the door of the passenger station.
"Grandpa Ding, I'm late," Yang Kong smiled.
"Let's go!" Ding Lao jumped on the back of the ox and got up first.
At the east gate of Kuliang City, the two grandfathers were chatting and laughing on the back of the cow, and gradually moved away.
Suddenly, Yang Kong felt a burst of danger coming, and he was close to the divine power of heaven and earth, and he quickly slapped the brute bull, and after the brute bull rushed, a knife mark appeared in the place where he just now, and it actually hit the ground more than a foot deep.
Yang was angry, if he hadn't rushed out in time, this knife would have seriously injured him if he didn't die.
At this moment, a chuckle came from behind him, "The little doll is hiding quite fast." ”
He looked back, and there were two men standing behind him, the man in white was the one who claimed to be the head of the living family, and the man in blue, next to him, like a servant, with a long knife in his hand.
Yang Kong angrily pointed at the man in blue and said, "You attacked me just now?"
The young man in blue ignored him at all, and smiled at the man in white, "Haha, family master, I ran into two dirt buns, I have a knife in my hand, who am I? Besides, he is not worthy of your hands!"
The man in white smiled coldly, raised his chin, and said to Ding Lao disdainfully, "Put down Zhu Ling's birthday and spare your grandfather's life." Hurry up and get out of the way. ”
Ding Lao's eyes narrowed, and he said, "What if I don't give it?"
"Don't give it?" the man in blue said in a loud voice, "Do you know who my family is? ”
Ding Lao shook his head, "The surname is alive, I have a little impression, that's all." ”
"The head of my family is one of the four upper-class families in Dry and Desolate City, the head of the living family, the living three zhang, and the cultivation of the four heavens of the Fusion God Realm, second only to the head of the Niu family. As if he was afraid that people would not know, the young man in blue introduced it carefully.
"People have to be a little self-aware, don't wait for me to do it. Huo Sanzhang waved his hand impatiently, "I will give you ten breaths to consider, the baby is important, or life." ”
Put the bag down, Ding Lao said with a wink.
Yang Kong understood, hurriedly pulled out the black and autumn bag, and put it down.
Huo Sanzhang suddenly shouted loudly and blasted away with a punch at Ding Lao.
At the same time, the blue-clothed young man also slashed towards Yang Kong with a long sword feather in his hand.
It turned out that the two of them didn't think about letting go of their grandfather, but they were completely deliberately making people relax their vigilance and attack them secretly.
