Chapter 45: The Door of Life and Death

Tianqing Temple was originally a royal temple, but it has now been given to Guo Jing by Qinzong as a dojo for his practice and rehearsals of the Rokko Divine Soldiers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

There is a wide high platform about 100 meters long in the temple, which is called Fantai because the family surnamed Fan once lived nearby. There is a six-sided brick tower built on the platform, nine floors of 80 meters, higher than the Kaifeng iron tower, Bianliang children often sing: "The iron tower is high, the iron tower is high, the iron tower is only to the waist of the tower!" ”

Whenever Qingming, the peach and plum on the platform compete for spring, the clear clouds and green trees, the people of Bianliang will come with wine and food, so far they go on an outing, drink and write poems, watch dances and listen to operas, enjoy flowers and grasses, burn incense and worship Buddha, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of spring.

Now the temple is a mess, the Liujia gods are uncontrolled, walking around, eating, drinking, and defecating, only the tower is the last piece of pure land.

Guo Jing invited the two envoys into the tower.

At the bottom of the tower, there were all kinds of utensils used in the rituals, and Lin Bu saw the two incense burners, and he glanced at Fang Bai.

Fang Bai nodded, walked straight to the fireside, and each reached out to grab a handful, and collected the two miniature air projectors adsorbed on the inner wall and put them in their sleeves.

Seeing Guo Jing's curiosity, Lin Buzheng said: "Because there are immortals who go down to earth, these two furnaces have received immortal qi and condensed the elixir. ”

Elixir? Guo Jing's eyes lit up immediately!

"Don't be anxious, the elixir is naturally yours."

Fang Bai came back and handed over the two instruments in his sleeve to Lin Bu. But in Guo Jing's view, what the two handed over must be pills.

Lin Bu put the instrument into his sleeve pocket, replaced it with a pill, and showed his palm.

The two crystal clear elixirs in his palm, I saw that Guo Jing's saliva was about to flow out.

"This thing should be flushed." Lin Budao.

Fang Bai handed over half a bottle of pure water in due time, and the cap of the bottle had been opened.

Lin Bu put the two elixirs into the incorruptible crystal soft bottle, and then handed them to Guo Jing, "This pill melts into the water, and the medicinal properties are scattered into it, and drinking it can increase consciousness, eliminate fatigue, and cure all kinds of diseases. Try it, don't drink too much at a time. ”

Guo Jing took the plastic bottle, overjoyed, and took a big sip of it. Pure water and pills didn't taste good, but he drank it sweetly and mellowly. But he hasn't experienced the miraculous effects that the messenger said, or has the elixir not yet worked?

Fang Bai also gave him the bottle cap. Guo Jing put the water bottle on the cap, and the baby seemed to be in his arms, and asked the two messengers to climb the tall building together.

Guo Jing walked in front, Fang Bai was behind, and asked Lin Bu in a low voice, "What medicine did you give him?" Looks like ......"

"The medicine is homemade, a strong pill (aniline), a true elixir, just try what the effect is."

"Well done!"

After taking a seat on the top floor, several Taoist children stepped forward to serve tea.

The three of them sat opposite each other on both sides, neither of them spoke, and the Taoist children ordered tea.

A Taoist boy bakes tea cakes, grinds tea powder, and passes through a fine sieve.

Boil the other and wait for the water to boil twice, and the tea powder is ready.

The third one rinses the teacup and splashes the hot water. Taking advantage of the residual temperature of the tea cup, dial in the tea powder, inject a little water, and adjust it into a tea paste, and then he poured water while hitting the tea soup, seven times in a row, each time the strength and method are different, until the concentration is moderate and the milk flowers are surging.

Dao Tong held the tea cup. Fang Bai and the others tasted it, and they both frowned, they really couldn't get used to it.

Seeing that the envoy didn't like it, Guo Jing hurriedly let Dao Tong go down, and asked cautiously: "The two envoys must be accustomed to drinking immortal tea in the fairy world, this worldly thing is really neglected......

Lin Bu waved his hand, "It's okay, both of us are distracted by the immortals of the upper realm, and since they are possessed by mortal skins, we don't care much about the difference between immortals and mortals." ”

I don't care much, but I still care a little bit! Guo Jing thought so in his heart, and he still couldn't help praising "the immortal's mind is extraordinary."

"Two messengers, what is the merit ......," he finally couldn't help but ask.

Fang Bai snorted coldly, his face like frost. Because he didn't learn the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty, he could only pretend to be indifferent, and he met Guo Jing without saying a word.

Lin Bu shook his head, "This matter, there is no hurry. ”

They are not in a hurry, Guo Jing is in a hurry. According to his many years of experience in the rivers and lakes, the two of them are pinching him, waiting for him to say.

But what do immortals like? Is it a woman who gives money? Will it be considered morally corrupt and lose the opportunity to ascend? Ah, what a headache!

The three of them sat silently for a moment, and Fang Bai felt a little embarrassed.

Lin Bu had been observing Guo Jing's reaction after taking the medicine, and felt that the time had come, so he finally spoke: "Guo Jing! You once played the method of life and death for Emperor Song, can you demonstrate it for the two of us today? ”

"The Gate of Life and Death" is a trick independently developed by Guo Jing to fool people, how dare he show it in front of the immortals! If it was usual, he would have pushed the hall in every possible way, but at this time, somehow, a courage rose in his heart - "I have even deceived the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, but I can't fool two immortals?" No, it's a distraction from the immortals! ”

"Good!" Guo Jing agreed, "Then the poor road will not be vulgar and ugly!" ”

Dao Tong sent props, including: a cat, a mouse, a thick brush, and a can of lime powder.

Guo Jing had words in his mouth, drew a large circle on the floor with a brush and lime, and then took out the mouse from the cage and threw it into the circle. The rat scurried around in the circle, but it just didn't get out of the circle.

Lin Bu applauded lightly twice, turned his head and whispered to Fang Bai: "Rat repellent!" ”

Seeing Lin Bu's applause, Guo Jing thought he had a plan, and released the cat, chanting endlessly.

The flower cat turned a blind eye to the mouse, and only circled around the lime circle. In the face of life and death, the rat was silent and trembling, but he didn't dare to escape.

Guo Jing raised a single palm, showing the master's style, and sang a poem: "A circle of cats and mice, never come and go." ”

Lin Bu was expressionless and said "yes".

Fang Bai took advantage of Guo Jing's turn and whispered to Lin Bu: "Catnip!" ”

Catnip, also known as nepeta, has the effect of stimulating the nervous system, many cats are very sensitive to its smell, and they chase after it when they smell it. When drawing a circle, sprinkle a circle of rat repellent on the inner ring and a circle of catnip powder on the outer ring, and the spell is complete.

Guo Jing lifted his pen again and drew a box on the left and right sides of the lime circle, indicating it as a door. The word "life" is written on the left door, and the word "death" is written on the right door, singing: "The cat enters through the door of life, and the mouse opens to the door of death." Then he exclaimed, "Go!" ”

The cat ran in from the birth gate, did not catch the mouse, and ran around in the circle, the mouse fled to the door of death, but refused to go out in the box, stopped and turned a few times, and died on its side.

If a village woman and fool saw this spell, they would have thought that Guo Xianren could sentence life and death with a pen.

Guo Xianren was full of ambition and bowed to the two messengers, "Is the immortal chief satisfied?" ”

Lin Bu ignored him, took out an instrument similar to a fountain pen from his sleeve, and threw it to Fang Bai.

Fang Bai bypassed Guo Jing, who was bowing, and came to the "Door of Death". He crouched down and dipped the tip of his pen in a little powder, waited for a few seconds, and the "portable food toxicity detector" sent the report to the "cat's eye" to display it in text.

This instrument is used by Lin Bu every day, he is afraid of death, and he has to test everything before eating.

Fang Bai quickly read the report and returned the "fountain pen" to Lin Bu, "Aflatoxin, which is ten times more toxic than cyanide HUA potassium, is extracted from cotton seeds. In addition, there is melon seed powder in the door of death, which is bait. ”

Lin Bu smiled and nodded, "Thank you!" ”

The two were talking in Mandarin, Guo Jing didn't understand, raised his head and looked at the two envoys suspiciously.

Fang Bai slapped him down. This force is very skillful, although the person is knocked down, in fact, there is no real damage, and it is not very painful.

Guo Jing instinctively wanted to get up, but he heard Lin Buguan ask: "You extract toxins from cotton seeds, what are you going to do that hurts the heavens and reason?" ”

Knowing that the spell was debunked, and it was mistaken for "making poison and harming people", Guo Jing was shocked, and simply knelt down and kowtowed, "Immortal Rongyu, Immortal Rongyu......"

Guo Jing is very old, but under the effect of drugs, he began to reflect on his life, and self-criticism was to the point of being miserable with a handful of snot and tears, which was not easy. But the two didn't have time to listen to him, and they debunked the spell in order to discourage him and ask for more crucial things.

"The Gate of Life and Death," Lin Bu groaned, "Cat and mouse are little talkers, if Qinzong gives the right to command the army just because of such tricks, it will be child's play." ”

He kicked Guo Jing on the tip of his toe, made him get up, and asked, "You once claimed to have the Dharma of the Heavenly King of the Buddha Gate, but is it true?" ”

Guo Jing's body froze instantly, and the immortal asked what was the purpose of this?
