Chapter 92: The Old Past
The hut was empty, except for a stone bed and a stone table, on which were candlesticks and a pile of bamboo slips. The rope that tied the bamboo slips had rotted, so the bamboo slips were scattered on the stone table.
Li Chengqian walked into the house, looked around, at the head of the stone bed, he found a small wood carving, the wood carving is a deer, the maker is exquisite, this wood carving deer carved lifelike, Li Chengqian can see at a glance that this wood carving is the king of deer.
The deer king also walked in, lying next to the stone bed, looking lonely, as if he was missing someone.
"King Deer, the guests here are also your hosts, right?" Li Chengqian put the wood carving back in its place and asked, "No wonder you can cultivate, it must have been taught by your master, right?" ”
The deer king nodded, and looked at the wood carving with fixed eyes, as if reminiscing about the past.
Li Chengqian walked to the stone table, picked up a bamboo slip and looked at it, the bamboo slips were scattered, the order was also messed up, pick up one casually, unable to distinguish the details from the more than a dozen ancient texts on it, Li Chengqian temporarily put down the bamboo slips, he had no time to study these bamboo slips.
Li Chengqian knew that the King of Deer did not bring him here to relive the past, but to help him solve problems and find a safer and more comfortable place for him.
Now, Wang Yuan and Chan'er are still waiting for Li Chengqian in the valley, if there is no problem here, he must bring them here as soon as possible.
Walking out of the thatched hut, the deer king led Li Chengqian around the cave again, to Li Chengqian's surprise, he found a very small medicine field, and there were several rare and exotic fruits planted in the medicine field, including the "Black Spirit Fruit" sent by the deer!
In addition, Li Chengqian also found a bronze furnace half-embedded in the soil next to the medicine field, which made Li Chengqian very happy! With this furnace ding, the success rate of his alchemy will be greatly improved.
It seems that the owner of the deer king is also an alchemist.
"King Deer, you've done me a great favor!" Li Chengqian touched the head of the deer king and laughed, "Let's go, I'll bring Wang Yuan and Chan'er here, and we will cultivate here in the future." ”
Li Chengqian and the deer king returned to the valley and asked Wang Yuan to pack up his things immediately, and after that, the group followed the deer king's mother and son to the Xianjia Cave Mansion.
Untying the prohibition on the rock wall, the group walked into the cave.
Wang Yuan was stunned, he felt that he was dreaming, and he was able to pass through the stones! This is the ability of a god!
In order to show respect for the owner of the cave, Li Chengqian asked Wang Yuan to set up a tent outside, and the three of them continued to live in the tent. The king of the deer lay down every day beside the stone bed of the hut, faithful as a dog.
This place can be said to be an absolutely safe place, and ordinary people can't find it at all, and even if they do, they can't get in. Therefore, Li Chengqian decided to unlock the heart spell for Chan'er immediately.
This lock heart spell is extremely difficult to solve, there are spells in the spells, they are interlocking, Rao is an immortal cultivator like Li Chengqian, and it will take three or four days to unravel one!
Moreover, because the lock heart spell is entangled with Chan'er's soul, the daily release time of the spell should not be too long, otherwise it will cause damage to Chan'er's soul, so it is extremely slow.
In this way, day by day, in addition to unlocking the mantra for Chan'er every day, Li Chengqian will also meditate and cultivate. In his free time, he took out the scattered bamboo slips on the stone table of the thatched hut and compared them one by one, hoping to find some information about the owner of the cave from them.
The hard work paid off, and Li Chengqian finally rearranged and classified all the bamboo slips, and then braided them one by one with ropes.
There are seven sets of bamboo slips, two of which are books similar to journals, which record the identity of the owner of the cave and a series of events that happened to him here.
Li Chengqian watched it for a day in a row, and finally unlocked the secret of the owner of the cave.
It turned out that the owner of this cave was one of the three immortal cultivation masters mentioned by Guan Bochun - Zhang Shuo.
The journal began after he found the cave and continued until the day before he crossed the catastrophe and ascended. It records Zhang Shuo's daily actions and feelings, but it is more about the story that happened between him and the deer king.
The deer king was an ordinary little beast in this forest, once Zhang Shuo went out, found that it was chased by a tiger, and couldn't bear it to be eaten so he rescued it, who knows, the deer king followed him and refused to leave, and couldn't drive it away.
Zhang Shuo had no choice but to flee, thinking that he would get rid of the deer king, but he didn't want the deer king to stay where he was for three months, except for foraging for food, he was lying there quietly waiting for Zhang Shuo to come back.
Zhang Shuo was greatly moved, so he took it back to the cave. At first, Zhang Shuo only kept the deer king as a pet, but later found that the deer king was very spiritual and knew how to help Zhang Shuo. Especially when Zhang Shuo was cultivating alchemy, the deer king was lying on the side, watching quietly, as if he was a student studying hard.
Zhang Shuo was surprised in his heart, so he opened his mouth and asked the deer king if he wanted to cultivate the Dao method? The deer king nodded again and again, his eyes full of anticipation.
Zhang Shuo fed a freshly refined pill to the deer king to eat, and the deer king was enlightened, except that he couldn't speak human language, his brain power was almost exactly the same as that of ordinary people, and even higher than ordinary people.
In this way, the cultivation method explained by Zhang Shuo can be understood by the Deer King. Although it was a beast and could not completely copy the cultivation methods of human beings to cultivate, she had a very high level of understanding, and she slowly found a cultivation path suitable for her.
After Zhang Shuo found out, he was even more surprised, and praised the deer king for his intelligence.
But the way of cultivating immortals is difficult to go to the blue sky, and mortals cultivating immortals are like going against the sky, and there are many obstacles, not to mention that the deer king is a beast, which is even more difficult. Fortunately, her heart to the Dao is very firm, she is not afraid of difficulties, insists on cultivating, and finally breaks through the realm of the beast Dao, and her longevity has reached a thousand years old!
These were recorded by Zhang Shuo one by one on the bamboo slips, and later, Zhang Shuo felt that his catastrophe was coming, so in order not to affect the deer king, he reluctantly drove her out of the cave.
This is the end of the log, and I don't know if this Zhang Shuo succeeded in the end.
"So you're so smart!" Li Chengqian smiled and touched the head of the deer king and said, the deer king tilted his head and snorted proudly.
Li Chengqian looked through the other three books, which recorded the method of alchemy and various plant knowledge.
Li Chengqian was reborn on the earth, and he only had the memory of the original owner in his mind, and he didn't know any strange flowers and plants except for ordinary plants. This book fills in the gap, allowing him to better understand the plants on the planet.
As for the alchemy method, it is completely useless, because Li Chengqian himself is also an alchemy master, and the knowledge he knows is much stronger than this Zhang Shuo, so he doesn't bother to look at it at all.
The things recorded in the last three books were of great interest to Li Chengqian, because they were all what Zhang Shuo had seen and heard during his travels in the land of China over the years.
And the things that interested Li Chengqian in it were the caves and blessed lands and rare beasts recorded by Zhang Shuo, which were also things that Li Chengqian wanted to find.
The Cave Heaven Blessed Land is the best place for cultivation, and the rare and exotic beasts contain many alchemy raw materials such as the Demon Pill Spirit Fruit, and Li Chengqian can find these places and the Demon Beast Spirit Grass according to the records in the book, so as to provide more help for his future cultivation.
Zhang Shuo recorded in the book that these caves and blessed lands were occupied by people at that time, so he found here. Now with the changes of history, these caves should also be deserted, and maybe there are still things left by predecessors in them. Li Chengqian thought to himself, "In the future, when I have free time, I will visit them one by one according to the records in the book, and maybe I will gain something." ”
"As for those rare beasts, after thousands of years, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find them again." Li Chengqian shook his head and put the bamboo slips that were useful to him into his Qiankun bag.
"Master Li! The water here is so sweet! ”
Wang Yuan found a mountain spring in a corner of the cave house, he took some with a kettle and tried to drink it, and suddenly felt cool and sweet, nourishing his throat and lungs. He felt like his lungs had been rejuvenated after 20 years of inhalation!
So Wang Yuan ran to Li Chengqian and said like a treasure: "This spring water seems to have a miraculous effect, you can also taste it!" ”
Li Chengqian didn't need to taste it, he knew at a glance that this was not ordinary water, but spiritual spring water. It is a spring water condensed by the spiritual energy in the mountain, and it is also a common raw material for alchemy.
Of course, drinking it is also good for the body.
