Chapter 493: Under the Heavy Reward, the Brave Man is Crazy (Ask for All!) )
6000 words of the big chapter presented, ask for recommendations, ask for rewards, ask for monthly passes, ask for subscriptions, ask for full subscriptions, ask for all support!
In the following time, Li Xiao was concentrating on refining the elixir, and Nie Xiaoqian was taking care of and assisting from the side, and she seemed to be doing her best.
In the valley, as short as two or three days, as long as seven or eight days, from time to time there are thousands of auspicious qi falling, rolling thunder falling, after the furnace lid is opened, it will be diffused with a rich medicinal fragrance.
At this time, some birds and beasts in the forest will be attracted by the rich medicinal fragrance, running and flying from all directions, with anthropomorphic surprise in their eyes, looking at the medicinal fragrance in the furnace, some animals even left a long saliva water.
Who doesn't want immortality, and the same is true for animals.
If it weren't for Li Xiao in charge, I'm afraid the elixir would have been devoured by these birds and beasts.
There are failures in these refining elixirs, but with the improvement of Li Xiao's power and sensitivity in controlling fire, the success rate of refining elixirs is also getting higher and higher, and the elixirs that can increase the longevity of a hundred years have already accounted for most of them, and there is even an elixir that increases life for more than 200 years, which can be described as remarkable!
Three months later, all the rare treasures collected were refined into elixirs, there were hundreds of them, and they were all stored in exquisite porcelain vases by Li Xiaozhi, which were well preserved.
"There are more than a hundred elixirs here, and they don't disappoint my diligent refining in the past three months!"
On this day, Li Xiao breathed a little, used the system space to collect the remaining materials and furnace dings, and Nie Xiaoqian boarded the carriage, the horses galloped, the wheels rolled, and went towards the boundary of the capital.
……
……
Capital.
After the imperial court set things right and traced back to the source, it has changed a new look.
The banner of the dynasty is waving in the wind, the yang is vigorous, the demons and monsters have nothing to hide, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the shouting of the shops continues, the business is prosperous, and the chariots and horses inside and outside the city are also endless, which greatly drives the business and trade activities of the capital.
A team of well-trained catchers regularly patrol the streets and alleys, which greatly reduces the crime rate, cracks down on rampant bandits, and improves the level of public security, making it a prosperous and peaceful place!
After Li Xiaoyi returned to the Heavenly Master's Mansion, he issued several summons one after another, and the members of the Demon Subduing Alliance who would go to all parts of the country to kill demons and eliminate demons were all summoned back, Yan Chixia, Baiyun Zen Master, Ye Zhiqiu, Guichen Dao Chief, Mingxuan High Monk and others all gathered together.
Prepare a banquet, wash the dust for everyone, and discuss matters together!
As the leading figures in Buddhism and Taoism, Zen Master Baiyun and Yan Chixia sat on Li Xiao's left and right hands, respectively.
"Fellow monks, during this period of time, you have slashed demons in various places, eliminated demons and evils, and brought blessings to the people, even the emperor praised you greatly, this is really a great event of great merit, worthy of celebration, let us not get drunk today!" After Li Xiao's eyes glanced around the hall at the people present, he raised the wine cup and took the lead in speaking.
"Thank you Li Tianshi!"
"Destroying demons and defending the path is within my boundaries, so it is naturally my duty"
Seeing this situation, the rest of the people of Buddhism and Taoism also raised their glasses, or spirits or tea, and they all drank happily.
After three rounds of drinking, most of the people's faces were already a hint of drunkenness, but only Li Xiao was very sober, at this time, seeing that the time was almost up, he said intentionally or unintentionally: "In the past three months, everyone has made a lot of merits in killing demons and eliminating demons, but, as far as I know, in the vicinity of Guobei County, there seems to be a group of demons that are the most rampant, making waves, doing everything, and they will make a comeback not long after each cleanup, I don't know what you think about this?" ”
After finishing speaking, Li Xiao looked at everyone's eyes with a bit of inquiry.
Guichen Dao Chang poured a sip of the liquor in the cup, smashed his mouth, and recalled: "Guobei County? Yes, Poor Dao is still very impressed there, a month ago, I led my disciples to clean up the local demons, but not long after, those demons again caused trouble, making waves, it was simply stubborn, very weird. ”
Recalling what happened a month ago, the head of the Guichen Dao still remembers it vividly.
Zen Master Baiyun frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "I can't imagine that there is such an evil thing, since this is the case, of course we can't stand idly by, I don't know which senior monk and Taoist friend know what kind of demon is doing this ravaging Guobei County, and it is so stubborn." ”
At this time, Yan Chixia, who was sitting on Li Xiao's right hand, took over the conversation and said, "If my guess is correct, those demons should be the old demons of Montenegro!" ”
"Black Mountain Old Demon?"
"That's right...... Legend has it that this old demon of Montenegro has thousands of years of Taoism, powerful demonic power, extraordinary strength, entrenched in the Netherworld Dead City, based on this, it also has great power in the underworld, in addition, it also commands thousands of Netherworld soldiers in the Netherworld. ”
"If the previous protector Pudu Cihang is a powerful demon, then this old demon of Montenegro is the king of demons, and even the powerful tree wants to be afraid of it!" Yan Chixia also patiently explained.
"This old demon of Montenegro is so powerful? Even Pudu Cihang is not as good as him, so his strength is really not simple! At this point, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and their eyes couldn't help but show a hint of solemnity.
You must know that when he fought against Pudu Cihang in the Imperial Mausoleum, it took a lot of effort for everyone to seal his Yuan Shen in Cangyue Mountain, and this old demon of Montenegro is even more powerful than Pudu Cihang, and he commands thousands of netherworld soldiers, so his power can also be seen from this!
People are aware that this role is not simple!
……
……
"If you want to completely calm down this demonic chaos and block the evil spirit, this old demon of Montenegro is an opponent that we can't avoid, I don't know what you think." Li Xiao's fingers tapped on the tabletop, knocking on the side of the tunnel.
Of course, this old demon of Montenegro is an opponent who cannot be avoided, because one of the tasks issued by the system to Li Xiao is to kill the old demon of Montenegro.
According to the strength setting shown in the movie, the strength of this old demon of Montenegro is much stronger than that of the tree demon grandma and Pudu Cihang. In the first movie, the Diamond Sutra tied to Yan Chixia + Nie Xiaoqian + Ning Caichen was a doppelganger that eliminated the old demon of Montenegro, and it was the old demon of Montenegro who took it lightly.
The strength of the true body of this old demon of Montenegro is absolutely terrifying, with the strength of Li Xiao alone, it is naturally impossible to kill him, so he has to gather so many people of Buddhism and Taoism!
……
……
If it was said that there was an obstacle in the court because of Pudu Cihang before, then now he has cleared this thorn in his side, and he has also gathered a group of Buddhist masters around him, and wants to pull out the opponent of the old demon of Montenegro, then the time is the most appropriate, so he will take the initiative to say this proposal at the banquet!
As the leader of the Demon Subduing Alliance, Ye Zhiqiu, with a straight expression, took the lead in expressing his attitude: "Hmph, no matter who the demon is, I believe that as long as we come out of the Demon Subduing Alliance, we will definitely be able to capture and be invincible, hehe, I, Ye Zhiqiu, naturally want to be the vanguard of urgency, and let me fight this first battle." ”
I have to say that Ye Zhiqiu is still the showy character, although he is full of words, but the high fighting spirit revealed in his expression is still beyond words.
Yan Chixia and Zen Master Baiyun also nodded one after another, expressing their intention to agree.
It's just that after these three people took the lead in expressing their positions, the huge conference hall fell into silence, and the rest of the people, everyone look at me, I look at you, they want to speak and stop, they all look hesitant and embarrassed.
After hesitating for a moment, the head of the Returning Dust Dao pursed his lips and said with some embarrassment: "The poor monk knows that this demon slaying and demon removal is the duty of people in the Buddha Dao. However, everyone should also know that this old demon of Montenegro is a little stronger than that Pudu Cihang, and it still costs the lives of more than a dozen Buddhist colleagues to deal with Pudu Cihang, in exchange for this short period of peace, thus fulfilling the previous promise, but now we have to face the old demon of Montenegro who has a vain dead city, and this unborn old demon of Montenegro alone is enough for us to have a headache, not to mention the thousands of ghosts who died in vain. ”
"Moreover, if we win, if we fail, then the backbone of Buddhism will also be buried in the netherworld, turning into lonely souls and wild ghosts, then who can guarantee the stability and peace of the world at that time?" After a few words, Daoist Guichen also expressed his doubts.
"Yes, the strength of the old demon of Montenegro is too strong, and it is entrenched in the underworld, blessed by the aura of the netherworld, and the demonic power is all over the sky, even if our Demon Descending Alliance is dispatched, it is difficult to guarantee victory."
"If even we are dead, who will continue to protect the world from those demons and demons!"
After the Returning Dust Daoist expressed his doubts, the other silent people just now all echoed the Dao at this time, and they all looked like they were deeply convinced.
There are people who advocate attacking to meet the old demon of Montenegro, but more people are passive and avoid fighting!
Seeing everyone's expressions in his eyes, Li Xiao looked as usual, his expression was as unmoving as an ancient well, and everyone would have such a reaction, which he had long expected.
There is a good saying, it is called no profit, it is not early, and it is also applicable to some of you here.
The reason why they came to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to help Li Xiao kill demons and eliminate demons was originally because of the magic weapon reward given by Lu Ju at the beginning, and now that the Yuan Shen of Pudu Cihang has been suppressed, and their task has been completed, there is no obligation to continue to hoe and defend the Dao.
If it is said that the removal of Pudu Cihang is what everyone expects, then the goal of killing the old demon of Montenegro is more of a personal matter for Li Xiao.
Moreover, declaring war on the city of vain death, the risk is very great, it can be said that it is completely fighting with life, it took a lot of effort to kill a Pudu Cihang at the beginning, not to mention the old demon of Montenegro who is several times stronger than him, this difficulty coefficient is undoubtedly several times greater.
For this point, everyone is not stupid, and they are all as clear as a mirror in their hearts, so in this case, in addition to Yan Chixia and Baiyun Zen Master, many other people of Buddhism have also chosen to avoid the war.
Of course, this is understandable, after all, Li Xiao has no right to give them an order to die, which is also beyond doubt.
……
……
Obviously, Li Xiao had already expected this, but at this time, he said with a smile: "Could it be that everyone's vision is just one or two magic weapons in their hands?" ”
"What does the Celestial Master mean?" Hearing the deep meaning in Li Xiao's words, the monk Mingxuan raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
Li Xiao smiled indifferently and said, "Everyone should know that this Heavenly Master also has a certain amount of power in the court. If you need anything, I can ask the Emperor to open the Imperial Treasury and any gold and silver treasures in it for you to choose from. ”
"Imperial Treasury!"
"What the Heavenly Master said, isn't it the treasure house that condenses a country's financial and material resources?!"
"There are rare treasures in there, and it is said that no one can embezzle the items except the Emperor and the Heavenly Master."
When this term popped out, the same scene popped up in front of the eyes of the Buddhists and Taoists present, the door of the imperial treasury was wide open, a piece of gold, all kinds of precious gold and silver jewelry, jade and jade, and even the unborn magic compass, robe, and thousand-year-old peach heart, all of which were like real things, jumping out of front of people's eyes!
Where is the Imperial Treasury? That's the huge financial resources and resources of a dynasty, gold and silver treasures, precious magic weapons, absolutely everything, if you go in and choose one or two magic weapons and treasures, then at least having thousands of family wealth is definitely not a problem.
Especially treasures such as precious robes and thousand-year-old peach wood new, may have no effect on other people, but for people in Buddhism, it can make mana climb, break the bottleneck, and even achieve a breakthrough in cultivation, which is what many Buddhist people seek all their lives!
The people here also absolutely believe that with Li Xiao's ability, it is absolutely possible to do this, you know, just because of Li Xiao's words, the emperor immediately sent people to spare no effort to collect from all over the world, including thousands of years of snow spirit grass, diamond rock, exquisite branches and other rare treasures, each of which is priceless, can be met but not sought!
Therefore, when Li Xiao threw out such a huge temptation, except for Zen Master Baiyun, who had no desires and desires in order to preach Buddhism, everyone else couldn't help but be moved!
It's just that although many people are excited, when they compare these treasures with their precious lives, many people suppress the heat and *** in their hearts, grit their teeth, and calm themselves down with difficulty.
"The stakes are so high that we should discuss more." Senior monk Mingxuan clasped his hands together, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he lowered his head again.
"Yes, the Heavenly Master's kindness, we are naturally grateful, but it's just ......"
……
……
Just when the head of the Returning Dust Dao wanted to say the word "just", his voice stopped abruptly and directly hovered there.
A rich and mellow fragrance wafted in without warning, burrowed into the tip of his nose, and exploded in his nasal cavity, so that the heart of the head of the Returning Dust Dao was lifted!
Not only the Chief of the Dust Returning Dao, but everyone else also discovered this.
"What kind of scent is this?"
"What fragrance is so fragrant and mellow that it can make people's spirits uplifted?"
"Heavenly Master, the ...... in your hand Is it a pill? ”
People were surprised to find that at some point, there was an extra tan pill in Li Xiao's palm, flashing with a crystal luster, and the refreshing fragrance came from it!
Facing everyone's questions, Li Xiao shook his head and said correctively: "The medicine is not a pill, it is just poison, to be precise, this is a pill, which can increase longevity and obtain the elixir of creation!" ”
"Elixir?"
"Is it really such a miracle?"
Everyone smacked their tongues and looked at each other, with a look of surprise in their eyes.
Li Xiao nodded undeniably: "That's right, the reason why I asked the emperor to collect rare treasures such as Snow Spirit Grass and Vajra Rock, and retreated in the valley for three months, is to refine this elixir!" ”
"Hehe, let me try the effect of this elixir, is it really as Lord Celestial Master said." Ye Zhiqiu, who was on the side, smelled the fragrance of the medicine, stared at this elixir with a pair of thief eyes for a long time, and his hands couldn't help rubbing together.
And when he heard that this elixir actually had the effect of immortality, Ye Zhiqiu directly snatched the elixir from Li Xiao's hand and couldn't wait to swallow it in his mouth.
Seeing Ye Zhiqiu's anxious look, Li Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling a little crying and laughing.
"Lord Ye Meng, how are you feeling now?" A Buddhist man, with a curious look, asked Ye Zhiqiu.
Ye Zhiqiu closed his eyes, as if he was savoring the experience, after a long silence, he suddenly opened his eyes, and jumped up and down in the hall with vitality, until a cup of tea, Ye Zhiqiu's body was already sweating, he let out a scream, returned to normal, and laughed with great joy!
"When this medicinal power melts, it turns into a warm current that flows into the limbs, nourishes the lungs, dredges the meridians, and even the blood veins become open, full of vitality and spiritual energy, and now this warm current is still circulating in the meridians, and the whole body is extremely comfortable, good medicine, it is really good medicine!" Ye Zhiqiu even claimed the number, and was full of praise for the elixir!
When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but look at each other and show shock.
Because they also saw with their own eyes that after Ye Zhiqiu swallowed the elixir, in a short period of time, he had a ruddy complexion and full of blood, which would not be deceiving.
None of the best elixirs these Buddhas have ever taken have had such an effect.
Even if this elixir cannot live forever, it is also extremely beneficial to the human body, and there is no doubt about it.
Moreover, as a protector of the country who is on a par with the emperor, Li Xiaona is also a true existence, where can he be half a lie when he says it?
After reacting, these people can be said to be surprised, and in addition, they showed remorse, it seems that they are still too late, they were one step ahead of this Ye Zhiqiu, and they can't wait to beat their chests!
……
……
Seeing everyone's incomparably regretful expressions, Li Xiao only felt funny in his heart, waved his hand, but said firmly on the surface: "Don't panic, the pill that Ye Zhiqiu swallowed just now, I still have more than a hundred here, as long as everyone can promise this Heavenly Master, go into battle together, kill the old demon of the Black Mountain, and complete a great merit, I will give each of you an elixir, with these elixirs, you can increase your life for decades!" ”
"Besides, the old demon of Montenegro has been entrenched in the dead city for thousands of years, and the magic weapons and spiritual weapons that have been looted from the Netherworld are even more innumerable, and he has been destroyed, aren't these magic weapons and spiritual weapons still owned by you...... Have you considered this final result? ”
Increasing the life span of several decades, this is a full decades of time, and the life span of a person's original life is only a hundred years.
After hearing this, everyone's eyes showed greed and reverence, and their original thoughts couldn't help but waver.
Who doesn't want immortality?
Their Buddhists have to live longer than ordinary people because of their cultivation of spells, but because they know this benefit, they also have to be more eager for immortality than ordinary people, and in this increase of decades of life, maybe they can complete a new realm breakthrough, so as to extend their life length again.
It is the so-called wealth and danger.
This is undoubtedly a huge temptation to even be willing to fight to the death! Even if it's an adventure in the Tiger's Den in Longtan, it's worth it!
"That's a decades of life, there's no reason to refuse." The head of the Guichen Dao slapped the table and decided.
"Okay, we are willing to follow the Heavenly Master to the city of vain death and fight the old demon of Black Mountain!"
"For the treasure of the treasury, as well as the elixir of life, Poor Dao also gave up this old life!"
Except for a few people with weak hearts who chose to give up when they were about to kick the door, most of the Buddhists agreed to the decision to attack the city of vain.
Li Xiao didn't feel sorry for the departure of those who were weak-hearted, having them would drag everyone down, and there would be endless troubles, Li Xiao wished they would leave immediately.
"The key is to fight here, as long as you and this Heavenly Master work together and fight side by side, you will definitely be able to break through the netherworld, calm the demons in the world, and return the world to a prosperous world!" Li Xiao drank the wine in the cup and smashed the ground hard, the loud words were full of heroism!
"Calm the demons in the world, and return the world to a prosperous world!" Everyone also drank wine one after another, smashing glasses as an oath!
……
