Chapter 70: This is the Circle
When the black powder met the bones, a miraculous reaction occurred, and in the sound of "snort", the stenching bones melted into a puddle of black bones like snowflakes in winter meeting the sun, and finally seeped into the soil and disappeared.
"Master, what is this?" Seeing that these bones were directly melted into bone water after encountering the black powder, Bai Yang couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp, and hurriedly took a few steps back and asked curiously.
Seeing his disciple's reaction, Cangsong Daoren couldn't help but laugh a few times, and then explained: "Apprentice, don't worry, this powder is only effective for dead things, and it has no effect on those of us who are flesh and blood. An explosion will occur when encountering an open flame. ”
Hearing Master's explanation, Bai Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to take the corpse powder in his hand to feel it, but he didn't want to hear Master say that this kind of thing would explode when it encounters an open flame, which made him immediately take his hand back.
Although Cangsong Daoren has a lot of corpse powder on his body, he doesn't plan to clean up the bones in the entire valley, after all, these bones are scattered everywhere, and it is not a small amount of work to completely clean them up, he just cleaned up the bones within the original cottage, and almost most of the bones in the valley are gathered here.
After the cleanup, the air in the valley has obviously become much fresher, although it still smells a little bad, but at least it is much better than before, I believe that without these bones, after a rain, the air here will return to its original state.
After feeling the situation in the valley roughly, Cangsong Daoren turned to Bai Yang and said: "Apprentice, you have to leave for a period of time for the teacher, you will stay in the valley to cultivate during this time, remember not to go out, I will leave you enough food, and use the formation to seal this cave, if the teacher still does not come back after five days, you can return to the earth first." ”
"Master, are you leaving here?" Bai Yang asked in surprise, he thought that this mission was just to take the master over for a turn, and learned to bring some souvenirs back, but he didn't expect that the master planned to leave for five days, which made him both surprised and depressed.
Cangsong Daoren nodded and said, "Yes, you don't have to worry, I just went out to understand the general situation of this world, and I will come back soon, usually in two or three days." ”
Bai Yang frowned and thought about it, and couldn't help but persuade: "Master, this world is too unknown and mysterious for us, why don't we go back and think about it for the long haul first?" ”
"Huh." Cangsong Daoren chuckled and said: "Apprentice, the teacher knows that you are worried about the safety of the teacher, but you don't have to worry too much, the teacher will not act recklessly, just collect some data of this world, and prepare for the next step of exploring this world, otherwise if it is difficult to move an inch in this world even if such a cultivation as a teacher is not able to move an inch, then there will be no extravagant hope for any exploration actions in the future." ”
Bai Yang couldn't help but cry and laugh in his heart, and secretly thought, "Master, why am I worried about your safety, I just want to go back early, I just don't want to stay here for so long." ”
But he naturally couldn't say this kind of thing, since the master had already talked about it, he knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless, and it was even likely to cause the master's disgust.
After being silent for a moment, he could only nod helplessly and said, "Okay, Master, you must take care." ”
Then Cangsong Daoist took Poplar into the cave on the side, and chose a relatively clean cave room, and took out a large number of bowls, basins, soup spoons, chopsticks, rice bags, gas stoves, pressure cookers, bottled water, fuel generators and even a refrigerator from his storage ring under Poplar's stunned eyes.
After looking at the daily necessities and a large amount of food that filled almost the entire cave, Poplar couldn't help but laugh.
"No, is Master going to let me cook my own food in the next few days?" He couldn't help but think to himself.
Poplar never imagined that his master would have the talent to be an electrician, so he took it upon himself to connect a wire from the oil-fired generator and directly to the refrigerator, washing machine, and a searchlight nailed to the rock wall.
Seeing his master doing it there, he was not embarrassed to stand aside and stare dryly, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, but his master refused.
In the end, he had no choice but to sort out the kitchen utensils and food that had been thrown on the ground and arrange them one by one.
It didn't take long for the people of Cangsong Dao to connect all the power supplies, although it looked a little simple, but at least the power supply was still able to be connected.
After pressing the start button of the fuel generator, he turned his head to Bai Yang, who was sorting things out on the side, and said: "In vain, this fuel generator belongs to the energy storage type automatic fuel generator, the number of display lights here represents the total amount of stored electric energy, if the display light turns red, it means that it is almost consumed, but you don't have to worry about this, as long as the fuel generator is in working condition, it will automatically generate electricity after the electric energy is consumed to a certain extent, and when the electric energy is full, it will automatically shut down, all of this is automatic. However, you should pay attention to the pointer of this position, this is the pointer of the fuel gauge, measured in liters, the generator currently has fifty liters of fuel, which is the maximum amount of fuel that this generator can store, theoretically so much fuel is enough to support these appliances for more than ten days, but for the sake of insurance, you had better come and see it occasionally, if you find that the pointer has reached this position, add the fuel here, remember not to light the gas stove when adding fuel! ”
Bai Yang raised his right hand to touch his nose, but found that there was a layer of glass, so he could only nod and say, "Master, I know." ”
Cangsong Daoren smiled and clapped his hands, stood up from the ground, and then walked to the refrigerator, opened the refrigerator to reveal a large number of fruits, vegetables, eggs, beef and other items inside, and almost the entire refrigerator was stuffed to the brim.
Poplar was still curious about why there was only rice and no vegetables, but it turned out that these things were all in the refrigerator, and he thought that his master was going to let him go up the mountain to pick some by himself.
"Apprentice, there are a lot of fruits, vegetables and beef in the refrigerator, and you have to learn how to cook when I'm not there." Cangsong Daoren said with a smile.
"Master, but I don't know how to cook." Poplar said with some embarrassment.
Cangsong Daoren shook his head with a smile and said: "No one is born to cook, you will learn it if you do it a few more times, by the way, I have a recipe here, I took it out of the Qing Palace back then, you can take it and study it." ”
After speaking, Cangsong Daoren took out a yellowed ancient book from the storage ring and handed it to Bai Yang.
Looking at the three words "Imperial Diet Recipe" written in traditional Chinese characters in the ancient book, Bai Yang was speechless, he didn't expect that there was such a thing on his master's body, "Could it be that the master plans to train me to be a god of food?" He couldn't help but sneer.
Although he didn't think about studying any "imperial food book", but after thinking about it, he still took this secret book from his master's hand, thinking that such an antique should be worth a lot of money, right?
After Cangsong Daoren saw Bai Yang take this "Imperial Diet Book", he nodded with a smile, and then looked around, and after feeling that there was nothing missing, he walked towards the entrance of the cave with Bai Yang.
When he came to the entrance of the cave, the people of Cangsong Dao first used a flying sword to dig eight small holes in the rock wall outside the cave entrance, and the eight small holes were located around the cave entrance, and the distribution was quite regular, but Bai Yang couldn't see what the master's intention was for a while.
He watched curiously as his master took out eight milky white thumb-sized jade beads from the storage ring and stuffed them into the small holes one by one.
It wasn't until the last jade bead was put in that he was surprised to find that the hole had disappeared.
"Formation!" At this time, he didn't know what his master was doing just now, obviously arranging the formation.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the layout of this formation seemed to be too simple, and it was not as mysterious as he imagined.
Although the arrangement seemed to be a little simple, the effect was really amazing, which reminded him of the formation outside the forbidden place of the secret room of Qingfeng Mountain, and that formation almost made him suffer a dark loss at that time.
"Master, is this a formation?" He couldn't help but ask curiously.
Cangsong Daoren nodded, then shook his head again, and just as Bai Yang was puzzled, he smiled and explained: "This can be said to be a kind of formation, but it is more accurate to say that we cultivators should call it a magic circle or a dao array. ”
Formation, magic circle? Poplar can't help but be a little confused, isn't it about the same?
"Master, is there any difference between a formation and a magic circle?" He asked, puzzled.
Cangsong Daoren laughed and explained: "The formation is the first formation and then the law, and the magic circle is the first law and then the formation, whether there is really a formation in this world I don't know if there is a formation, but the octagonal Tiangang array arranged for the teacher is based on the law, so it can only be called a magic array or a dao array, of course, even if you insist on calling it a formation, there will be no problem, after all, the meaning is almost the same." ”
Bai Yang felt that the more he listened, the more confused he became, what was based on the law, there was a formation first and then the law, which made him feel like he was listening to the saying that there was a chicken and an egg first.
Because he was embarrassed to ask again, Cangsong Daoren didn't explain again, but took him back to the cave directly.
It's also strange to say, this octagonal Tiangang array is not an ordinary phantom array, if you don't cast a special spell, it will be like touching a real rock wall with your hands, and you can even dig down some gravel from it, which is really magical.
After sending the poplar into the cave, the Cangsong Daoist turned around and left the cave after nagging and telling him not to leave the cave.
After his master left, Poplar walked curiously to the exit of the cave, from which he could clearly see the scene outside the cave, and he wanted to stick his head out to see what would happen, but when he thought of what his master said before leaving, he had no choice but to give up.
After thinking about it, he went back to the stone chamber where the kitchen was, which was much brighter than the others because of the searchlight.
He couldn't wait to take off his protective suit, put his mind into the storage space, and then began to tidy up the kitchen.
It took him more than half an hour to get the kitchen in order, and although it still looked a little shabby, it looked at least much cleaner than it had been at the beginning.
