Volume 3 Miaojiang Insect Medicine Chapter 4 Three-legged Toad
I thought about it, my jaw was about to fall in shock, and I nodded quickly, this detail even I ignored, and he reminded me that I did stare at Zhang Pu's eyes at that time, but what did it matter?
Seeing me like this, Kongtongzi laughed hoarsely twice, and said again and again: "Carving insect skills, carving insect skills!" ”
He said that the person who can perform this technique, the light skill must be successful, but it is impossible to advance and retreat in the blink of an eye, the reason can only be that he performed the "Zhu You Technique", the so-called Zhu You Technique is a kind of soul dementoring method, or a very short hypnosis, when you are attracted by the eyes of the caster, you will be hit, immediately in a short nightmare, when you wake up, you only feel that it is just a blink of an eye, in fact, it is not, it is enough to make a person with excellent light skills sweep more than ten zhang or even further.
This is a kind of Taoism handed down from ancient times, originally used to cure diseases and save people, but later gradually evolved into a means of harming people's lives, according to legend, the famous general Wu Qi of the Warring States has such a strange man, when facing the enemy, the other party just looked at his eyes from afar, and in the blink of an eye, he lost his head, and thought that it was someone's knife technique very fast, but he didn't know that he had been asleep for a while, so he lost his life in a daze.
After listening to Kongtongzi's explanation, I couldn't help but be speechless, and touched my neck with my hand, fortunately Zhang Pu didn't want my life at that time, otherwise I don't know why my head moved, so I asked if there was a way to fight against this Zhu Youshu.
Kongtongzi said that it is not difficult, as long as the mind is firm and not scattered, even if you look at the eyes of the caster, you will not be hit, and you will concentrate on dealing with it when you are in battle.
I remembered that I was tied to a pillar at that time, and I was a knife and I was a fish, and I couldn't help but feel a little panicked, so I realized that next time it would not be like this, and I was much more relieved at the moment.
This Kongtongzi is a strange old way, he doesn't look at Qingyun and other disciples directly, but he is not bad for me and Xia Ti, and he also passed on a set of "Ling Body Method" internal recipes, saying that it is a set of light body Taoism created by the patriarch, after cultivation, the body can be as light as a swallow, and the body is like electricity.
After that, Xia Ti and I stayed in Yuqingguan, for half a year, there was no trace of Kongtongzi, only to hear Qingyun say that Uncle Shi and his old man have been in retreat in the back mountain, and they have devoted themselves to studying the method of breaking Gu, I am extremely grateful in my heart, I can't imagine that Pingshui will meet, this strange old Taoist is willing to work so hard, such kindness will be repaid in the future.
In the past few days, Xia Ti's stomach fire has long been cured, the food in the Taoist temple is very suitable for her appetite, and the symptoms of chest pain have not recurred. I practiced according to the internal recipe passed on to me by Kongtongzi, and sure enough, my body method was much faster, and my skills naturally improved a lot.
Although a group of Taoist priests in the temple can occasionally chat with us, but always full of an unknown vigilance, and I have the closest contact with Qingyun, don't look at this person is a little treacherous, but this person is talented and intelligent, kung fu, only a few years older than me, he has become the first disciple of the Qingzi generation, the future is limitless, but he is quite a little arrogant, and he looks like he doesn't care about everything, but as soon as I mention Wang Zhenren on the side, he immediately shut up, turned around and left, I also know that this thing must be some kind of taboo in the view, no wonder even the real person in charge of the sect is secretive about this matter, Xia Ti said that sometimes, it is better to be less curious about this kind of thing.
Saying that on this day, Qingyun rushed over, saying that Uncle Kongtongzi had already gone out of the customs and found a way to break the Gu, let us go to the back mountain to meet his old man quickly, Xia Ti and I were overjoyed, and followed Qing on the trail in the back mountain for more than half an hour, and came to the front of a giant cave. The entrance of the cave is about ten zhang high, and the cave is pitch black, and there is no bright light.
Qingyun made a forward gesture and took the lead to walk in, Xia Ti and I followed closely behind, at first it was a little scary, but soon a very dark soft light emerged, as if a cloud in front of the eyes, through the clouds and mist faintly visible in front of a large stone door, the door was engraved with the pattern of yin and yang fish, Qingyun suddenly stomped his feet, the ground made a "dong dong" sound, the echo was endless, ethereal and extraordinary.
"Boom!" There was a muffled sound, the whole stone cave shook twice, the stone door slowly opened, there was a stone screen inside, so that people could not directly see the situation in the cave, the screen was worn, it must have been some years, and it was carved with Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun.
Qingyun made a gesture to invite us in, motioning for us to enter, but he stood outside the stone gate in an orderly manner. I and Xia Ti into the hole, around the stone screen, the scene in front of me has a cave, this hole is hemispherical, the inner diameter is more than thirty or forty zhang, the whole cave is a big pool, the water color is green and clear but there is no bottom, it must be extremely deep, there is a big stone mound of about 20 zhang square in the center of the pool, at a glance, you can know that here is the dark phase of the sky and the round place, there are nine oil lamps burning on the stone mound, flickering and faintly emitting a green and faint light, reflected in the water several water lilies the size of the barrel mouth, the flower color is like jade, and the hole is lit up a few points.
In the darkness, there is a person sitting on the big stone mound, it is the strange old Taoist Kongtongzi, perhaps because of the dim light, he closed his eyes, his face was dull, and his already thin body seemed to have lost a few points, as if he had aged a lot overnight, but there was more jade whisk dust in his hand, and a plain white robe looked like a fairy wind and bones.
"Two donors, please come here!" Kongtongzi's mouth didn't move, but his unique hoarse voice came out, this is a ventriloquist made by changing the qi of the dantian, the sound can be transmitted dozens of miles away, and the person who can be listened to can be selected, that is to say, if he just wants to talk to me, then Xia Ti next to me will definitely not hear any sound, it seems that his cultivation is unfathomable, and it is common for such people to have a weird temper.
Looking at the front of me again, there are at least ten zhang away from the stone mound, I am in trouble, is it not for me to fly over, although in the past half a year I have practiced the "Ling Body Method" has been a small success, a vertical sweep out of five or six zhang is not a problem, but this distance is ......, is it to let me lie in the water and swim over, this is too fucking face.
When he was hesitating, suddenly a white shadow flew out from his side, swept to the center of the water, his toes were a little on a water lily, his body jumped up a few feet, and he fell on the stone mound.
So I also drew a scoop according to the gourd, took a breath of true breath, jumped up, and saw Xia Ti on the other side turned his head, his face was full of fear and worry, as if he was about to shout to me, but at this time I was in the air, where can I take care of so much, my toes are a little on the water lily, at this moment, I glanced at the water, just this glance, scared my scalp to explode, there was a two-foot long human face in the water swam over, I immediately really unloaded most of the anger.
But as the saying goes, birds are sleepy and overturned, the most critical moment often can't remember what fear is, the rabbit is anxious and bites, I carry half a breath of true qi, desperately exert force, a little water lily on the right foot, the body is straight, can step on the edge of the stone mound, just about to slide down Xia Ti pulled me up, let out a breath, and said: "You can scare me to death, next time don't be so reckless." Seeing that I was silent, he asked in a low voice, "You, too, did you?" ”
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and nodded dejectedly, thinking about the giant face swimming just now, I felt soft under my feet.
"Don't be afraid, it won't come out." Kongtongzi slowly opened his eyes.
"What's that?" I asked with a fist hug at Kongtongzi.
Kongtongzi knocked on the ground with the dust handle, this stone mound was an ordinary stone platform, but after he knocked it like this, it made a "clanging" sound like copper and iron, he said: "This is a town demon mound made of gold and stone, the bottom of the mound is connected with a chain, locking a three-legged toad, what you see is the big toad, the pattern on its back resembles a human face." ”
"Who can lock such a big toad?" Xia Ti asked in surprise.
Kongtongzi explained that this thing was an ordinary snow toad in ancient times, cultivated in this mountain for thousands of years, got its divine power, stepped on the ground, on the head of the heavens, under the earth can make the earth shake the mountain, for the disaster is not small, later it is said that the Taiyi real person's mount crane passed here, saw that the demon spirit is pervasive here, then went down to catch the demon, and the giant toad fought for seven days and seven nights, before it was subdued, the people under the mountain only heard the mountain crane chirping for seven days and seven nights, so this mountain was called "Crane Song Mountain", after the giant toad was defeated, was pecked off a hind leg, The other hind leg is locked by this chain, and can no longer exert divine power, Taiyi Zhenren cast the town demon tuo to town it in this hole, not to mention thousands of years ago, people only say that "this mountain has a spirit for its crane song", but they don't know that the real spirit is the three-legged giant toad that is suppressed by the town demon mound.
Later, the patriarch of this sect, Heavenly Master Zhang Zhenren, got a glimpse of this immortal opportunity, so he ordered his disciples to build this Taoist temple here, and the retreat practice on the town demon mound can use its spiritual power to achieve twice the result with half the effort, and this three-legged giant toad is extraordinary in spirituality, and it will not easily surface, and it is only because he senses the plum blossom Gu in Xia Ti's body that he is restless.
Kongtongzi took out a ruddy pill from his arms, and told us that this was a blood pill cultivated with human blood for half a year, which could lead to a giant toad, and then he used soul-attracting incense to attract the Gu poison to the soles of his feet, urging the spell, and using the power of the giant toad to force out the Gu poison. However, this method has never been used, I am really not sure, Xia Ti nodded in agreement, anyway, there is no other way, life and death, do your best.
Kongtongzi also explained that this is the season for toads to molt, so I can see the right time for a while and take off a piece of toad clothing, which is of great use.
