Chapter 72: Psychic Ginseng
"What? You said that this old man has an ancient recipe for refining twelve medicinal essences, and he has already collected eleven miraculous medicines? Tonghai's mouth opened wide, looking shocked.
Zhao Yuankang entered the guest room and pulled Tonghai to the corner to discuss secretly, after all, this matter must be completed through Tonghai.
As a Taoist practitioner for many years, he naturally knew the magic of the twelve medicinal essences.
His master is not an authentic Taoist school, so there is no such mysterious inheritance, but it is passed down from generation to generation, this thing is the supreme divine object of warding off evil spirits and exorcisms, and you can rely on it to kill demons and eliminate demons.
Legend has it that Zhong Kui, the ghost hunter, used the demon slashing sword gathered by this object to crisscross the Three Realms, so that ghosts and monsters can hide and avoid.
It turned out that he already had a lot of good medicines for refining this treasure, but he only lacked this ginseng, no wonder when he asked him about the past of collecting ginseng, he said that psychic ginseng is the treasure of heaven and earth, and extraordinary people can touch it. It seems that this is a hurdle in his heart. ”
Everyone has their own hurdles, some people have passed lightly, and some people may not be able to get over until they die.
The heart is tangled, and after a long time, it becomes a demon.
Inner demons are a taboo for cultivators. If you can't get rid of the entanglement of the demons in your heart, in the end, it is very likely that your Dao heart will collapse and fall into the demon path.
"Look at this favor, shall we help him?" Zhao Yuankang asked tentatively.
"Help, this old man is not an idle person, just because he was a psychic, he can understand a lot of things. He must have been very sure that he invited us to help. Tonghai strongly agreed.
"Well, I think so too, it's also a rare opportunity for us, if it weren't for his inability to exert psychic powers, how could he find us." Zhao Yuankang replied casually.
For a practitioner, every chance can be a turning point in life. It is possible to have an epiphany and establish the foundation for reaching the top.
"This is also a cause and effect, only after the complete end of this journey, you can return with peace of mind, this is also a matter of accumulating merit, you get the lightning strike wood, for the three treasures, the deeper the accumulated merits, the more confident you are to manipulate."
Tonghai told him about cause and effect and merit, which made him solve many problems.
The theory of the cycle of cause and effect is a Buddhist thought. Taoism is dominated by the cycle of yin and yang.
Buddhism emphasizes "meaning", while Taoism emphasizes "mechanism (reason)".
In fact, Taoism also talks about cause and effect. Cause and effect, words and deeds, thoughts and retribution, are closely linked.
Taoism pays more attention to doing good deeds and accumulating merits. In the world, do not forget the retribution of good and evil, do more good, accumulate more virtue, in order to get rid of suffering and gain happiness, and use it as the basis for further cultivation of wisdom, great merit, and great fruit.
After the two made up their minds, they went to discuss with Li Laohan again.
Gao Feng didn't think much of these strange moves, anyway, he followed wherever he went, and when he encountered danger, Tonghai and Li Ziming blocked him, and when it came to spending money, he was happy to be free with Zhao Yuankang.
Li Ruoxi was worried. I originally wanted to relax with Zhao Yuankang, but I didn't expect that everywhere I went was full of dangers. Although she can always save the day, this kind of worrying day makes her a little scared.
Although some things were preoccupied with her, and even Tonghai cast a spell to shield her senses, but she is a meticulous person.
She vaguely felt that the purpose of Zhao Yuankang's trip was not as simple as he said to import mountain goods and medicinal materials.
But she is not the kind of person who is unreasonable, and since he doesn't want to say it explicitly, she doesn't ask more.
Two people can get along for a long time, not by suspicion, but by trust. But you also need to leave a little space for the other party.
This kind of respect is the foundation for both sides to make progress and grow together.
"Old man, tell us about the situation of that Qibao ginseng."
Zhao Yuankang and Tonghai came to Li Haishan's room and learned more ginseng information from him, so that they could know themselves and their opponents, so that they could not be defeated in a hundred battles.
"This ginseng is an elf that has accumulated spiritual power for hundreds of years, and it is the king of a hundred herbs, and it is said that it can be transformed into human nature and has psychic power. Moreover, this thing often manifests at night, and can move its bearings, making it difficult to catch. ”
Li Laohan slowly spit out this passage and continued to smoke a dry cigarette.
"Then how do you say you can collect this superb psychic ginseng?"
Since this old man asked them to make a move, there must be a means to win.
"In a moment, I need two more guards to use spiritism to find out where the ginseng is. As for how to catch it, I think you as a practitioner have some way, right? ”
The old man squinted at Tong Hai and threw out a question that made him laugh and cry.
"Don't mess me off, as long as that thing shows up, I'll have a way to take it."
He patted his chest and shouted at the old man, for fear that others would say that he couldn't do it.
"Okay, then the old man will believe you once, without further ado, hurry up and help me guard, I'll fight again."
The old man Li Haishan put away the cigarette pouch, took out the red and yellow thumb-sized pills from a box, and raised his head to take them with water. The two looked at each other and were a little amazed in their hearts.
The last time this old man reintroduced the psychic magic technique, he obviously overdrew a lot of energy, but in order to find the last magic medicine of the twelve medicinal essences, ginseng, he did not hesitate to use this forbidden technique again in a short time.
But after all, his body is thin, and this strange technique is extremely costly, and now he is just an ordinary person's body, and it is difficult to bear this kind of torture at all. Therefore, he can only use this way of knocking medicine to fight to the death.
Although this method can improve his cultivation in a short period of time, it is tantamount to drinking a donkey to quench his thirst, and if there is no miraculous medicine to treat him in the future, I am afraid that he may fall at any time.
This may also be the reason why he wants to get psychic ginseng at all costs and refine it into a superb twelve medicinal essence.
Although the two of them were unbearable about Li Laohan's situation, they couldn't persuade them.
Each person has his own fate, which cannot be forced or reversed. This is the catastrophe of life, and it is also the helplessness of life.
What they can do is to do their best to meet the wishes of the old man, so that it will be a relief for both Li Laohan and them.
The two of them didn't dare to slack off, and were busy guarding Li Laohan according to the last time they connected to the underworld psychic**.
This time, the two of them are more proficient in cooperating, and the Dao method is running more smoothly. And after Li Laohan took the magic pill, his face became more and more ruddy, and he was more comfortable between swallowing and closing.
In less than half an hour, Li Laohan had already put his hands together and got off the futon, his eyes were blazing, his spirit was flying, and his bearing was good.
This time the spiritism was performed for a short time, and looking at the old man's expression, he must have gained a lot.
"Old decay, favored by heaven's will, finally spied on the location of the treasure. You see, here it is. ”
The two of them followed the old man to the bedside, where a map of Changbai Mountain had already been unfolded, and the old man used a red pen to draw a mark.
"Daqingshan?!" The two exclaimed in unison.
Daqingshan is located in the central part of Heilongjiang Province, at the junction of three counties (cities) of Binxian, Yanshou and Shangzhi, with a southwest-northeast trend and Songhua River in the north. Because of its vertical and horizontal mountains, verdant and rich, straight into the clouds, so it is called Daqing Mountain. It is a famous vast forest sea in the northeast.
"Well, this psychic ginseng is currently on the top of Daqing Mountain, let's recuperate, go up the mountain tomorrow, act at night, and surrender this treasure." The two nodded in agreement, and went back to their houses to rest.
After eating at noon the next day, everyone packed up and set off for Daqingshan together. This time, they also brought Gao Feng and Li Ruoxi, because Tonghai said that he was going to set up a big array and needed people to garrison it.
Through Li Laohan to lead the way, there is a mountain thatched road in the northeast of the mountain, which can lead to the top of the mountain, and the top is like flat land. The crowd had reached the top of the mountain before dark.
Li Laohan really had some doorways, and after walking back and forth, he roughly determined the direction where the psychic ginseng might appear, and then set up the formation.
Tonghai took the position set by the old man, expanded outward for five miles, and laid down a demon suppression array.
Tong Hai and Li Ziming are a group to the left, and Zhao Yuankang, Gao Feng, and Li Ruoxi are a group to the right. In the direction of the five elements, insert half of the bamboo pole soaked in yin blood, and hide a number of black thunder stones. Once stimulated, it can form a large net of cupola, and it is blocked by huge stones that press the mountain, and it is difficult for non-Taoist spirits to break out of the formation.
The big array was set up, and the sky was getting dark, and everyone hid in the tent that had been set up in advance, and after dinner, they closed their eyes and rested their minds. Except for Li Ruoxi, who was quite sleepy and slept soundly, the others couldn't sleep at all.
At ten o'clock, everyone got dressed and crept to the edge of the array.
Suddenly, Tonghai, who was walking at the forefront, made a stop gesture to everyone behind, and everyone hurriedly paused.
Through the faint moonlight, I saw a cloud of silver light flickering in the large array.
Zhao Yuankang opened the eye of heaven and saw the original form of the brilliance, a three-foot-tall fleshy little doll.
