Chapter 14: Toad Mountain
At this time, a large ball of pure cyan flames wrapped the entire Danding, and the entire Danding body immediately became transparent, and the scene inside the Danding was clear to me at a glance.
I could see the five-colored Ganoderma lucidum, floating up and down in the danding, as if it were tumbling in a pot of boiling water.
I can see the situation inside the Dan furnace at any time, and it feels very good to be able to see all the spirit grass raw materials change from their original appearance to round and jade spirit pills.
Especially for a novice like me, I can know the whole process of fusing various spirit grasses together and turning them into spirit pills, and I have the most intuitive feeling, which is too helpful for improving the alchemy skills of newcomers.
An auspicious cloud-like fiery red flame wrapped a handful of sky-blue spiritual springs, and inside the spiritual spring, except for the five-colored lingzhi, all the wrinkled, branches and leaves were glued into a pile of dry spiritual grass, like making tea, in the spiritual spring wrapped in auspicious clouds-like fiery red flames, slowly unfolded.
The yellow color slowly turned back to verdant green, and the purple withered flowers turned back to bright red, as if resurrected, and at this moment, they were full of life, the green leaves were emerald green, the red flowers were in full bloom, and the purple canes swayed like the wind.
A quarter of an hour later, all the spirit grasses were completely restored to their most vigorous moment, with bright colors and dazzling brilliance.
Among them, the five-colored Ganoderma lucidum is even more crystal clear, as if it is carved out of the finest jade.
Another quarter of an hour passed, all the spiritual grass in the spiritual spring wrapped in flames, the branches and leaves spread, the flowers swayed, like a grassland in the wind, the aura was dense, vigorous, five-colored Lingzhi mixed in the grass, like a five-colored big mushroom.
On the spiritual flower and spiritual grass spirit leaves, wisps of juice gradually precipitated out, and the five-colored lingzhi also began to melt, and the juices of various colors were mixed together in the spiritual spring, like water in the colorful pool.
The spiritual spring water wrapped in the fiery red flames became less and less, and at the same time, it became thicker and thicker.
The spiritual springs gradually take on a yellowish amber color, and these spiritual springs containing countless medicinal essences at this time are called Danmu, which means the mother liquor that gives birth to Danzhu.
As the essence of the spirit grass gradually precipitated into the medicine mother, the spirit grass gradually turned yellow again, and the spirit grass that became yellow seemed to be weightless, floating towards the top of the Dan mother liquor.
A branch of yellow chicken blood, like a sugarcane that has been squeezed out of juice, quickly floated towards the top of the Dan mother liquor and floated on the surface of the Dan mother liquor.
In the midst of the fiery red flames, a tongue of fire suddenly licked out, and the withered yellow chicken blood instantly turned into ashes, still floating on the surface of the Dan mother liquor.
More and more of the spirit grass that had lost its essence juice turned yellow, lost its weight, and then floated towards the Dan Mother Liquid.
In the flaming red flames, thin tongues of fire kept licking out, turning these withered yellow spirit grasses that had lost their refinement into ashes, still floating on the surface of the Dan Mother Liquor.
The mother liquor is getting thicker and thicker, and a thick layer of ash slowly accumulates above the mother liquor, and the ash residue on the top begins to adhere to the inner wall of the medicine pod, and the ash on the inner wall of the medicine pod accumulates more and more, and it is getting thicker and thicker.
When it couldn't bear the weight, the ash fell like an avalanche under the pod.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and the mother liquor became thicker and thicker.
The spirit grass inside the Dan Mother Liquid was completely invisible, and they had all turned into ashes, accumulating in the inner layer of the ash layer on the surface of the Dan Mother Liquid.
The ash layer on the surface of Dan mother liquor, the ash layer on the outer layer, after being dried by the furnace fire, is turned into ashes again and sticks to the inner wall of the medicine pod, or falls to the bottom of the pod.
After the martial fire, the Danding automatically changed to a simmer, and a quarter of an hour passed, the Dan mother liquid was so thick that the water was almost invisible, and the spiritual spring that was half a ding at the beginning was only the size of a baby's fist.
This is the critical time to knot the Dan, the next step is to open the furnace to collect the Dan, this step is like the last touch of the painter's finishing touch, at this time, the timing of the grasp is quite critical, if the time of the furnace is late, the pill will turn into a puff of coke, scorched and pungent, then the alchemy will be declared a complete failure.
If the furnace is opened early, the medicinal power of the refined elixir is insufficient, the appearance is ugly, the taste is bad, and the quality is not good.
At this time, the pure cyan flame that wrapped the entire Danding had been collected, and only clouds remained on the surface of the Danding, still emitting bursts of red light.
I approached Danding, I couldn't feel a little heat around me, I gently touched Danding with my palm, and there was no trace of heat on the surface of Danding, but it was cold to touch.
I can't help but marvel at the magic of this Danding, the time has come to collect Dan, I can't wait for a second, I must open the furnace to collect Dan immediately!
According to the alchemy of the turtle immortal, I did not hesitate at all, and pushed the lid of the Danding away with both hands.
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang.
An unusually powerful air pressure splattered out from inside the Danding, and with the air pressure, a series of Danzhu beads burst out from the Danding!
Danzhu drew an arc in the air, and along the way, the gray-black Dan grains took off their gray-black shells all the way, revealing the dazzling smooth Dan body of Amethyst!
This step is like an ugly duckling turning into a white swan in an instant, which is very visually impactful, and the red smooth Danzhu is smooth and beautiful, and the curves are attractive.
A scent of danxiang arises spontaneously, and the danxiang overflows.
"Haha, it's done, it's done!"
I jumped to my feet.
I held the porcelain vase that I had prepared in my hand, scooped it into the air, and put all the danzhu into the porcelain vase.
I took out another small porcelain vase and poured the beads from one vase to another.
I giggled as I poured, and counted the number of a hundred and three grains, each of which was round and jade, full of crystal purple, and very beautiful.
"This is the Ziyu Wuzhi Dan! It's really extraordinary! The little girl is saved!"
Hearing the sound here, Shuangxi and Ah Fa also ran over, smelling a burst of danxiang, the two guys were amazed, I gave each of them two pills, this medicine should also be good for their parents.
"Just smell it, this elixir is a great tonic, you must not eat it, be careful to eat nosebleeds, go back and give it to your parents, they need this kind of elixir." ”
Shuangxi and Ah Fa have been by my Mo Jiang's side for many years, they have never left me, living and dying together, even in such a terrifying place as the hundred-year-old cliff Qianzhangtan, they have not left me, and I am also full of gratitude to Shuangxi and Ah Fa.
I regard Shuangxi and Ah Fa as my own brothers, and I also need to honor their parents, in addition, I also left two for Mo Deqian for him to eat and see, if it works, I can refine it again in the future.
I instructed Shuangxi and Ah Fa to bring these purple jade five zhi pills to Mo Deqian and their parents, and then I rushed towards the town, I wanted to give the medicine to the little girl and bring it quickly.
"Senior Sister Modi went to collect medicine. ”
I went to Yan Kee Pharmacy, and Ah Sheng, who ran the hall, told me that the little girl went into the mountains to collect medicine, and I ran for nothing.
"Where did she go to get the medicine?"
"Toad Mountain, left early in the morning. ”
Toad Mountain, I know where it is, this mountain is on the edge of the Li River, the shape of the mountain is like a big toad squatting on the riverside, and the Toad Mountain is densely forested, and the most living creatures in it are toads, so Toad Mountain is really a veritable toad's country.
There are many toads in the toad mountain, and there are many poisonous snakes that naturally eat toads, the most of which are the golden snake and the silver snake, these two snakes are very venomous, few medicine pickers will go there to collect medicine, in case they are bitten by snakes, it is not a joke, it is likely that even their lives will be lost there.
It is difficult to complete the snake medicine that can cure the bite of the krait and the snake krait, and a dose of snake medicine can be so expensive that it scares people to death, but it is not something that ordinary people can afford, so no one will be full and have nothing to do, so they will go to Toad Mountain to join in the fun.
But I know why the little girl Moti went to that ghost place to collect medicine, the little girl once told me that there is a very rare medicinal herb on Toad Mountain, which cannot be picked anywhere else, that is, the dark flower.
Not only does this flower prefer dark and damp places, but it also prefers to grow in the burrows of toad nests, which must be found by digging through the soil outside the toad's nest with a hoe.
This is even more dangerous, this kind of place is the most poisonous snake like to stay, and it is possible to encounter all kinds of poisonous snakes at any time.
"What kind of hellish place are you going to, does this little girl think that her life is too long?"
After listening to Ah Sheng's words, I frowned in sorrow.
Alas, I really can't take this little girl, I know why she picked this medicine, she didn't pick the dark flower for her own illness at all, the dark flower can cure leprosy, the little girl must have received leprosy patients again, so she went to pick this medicine to treat the patient.
The little girl is a person who has nothing to do with herself, as for risking her own life? I Mo Jiang asked myself that I can't do this step of the little girl, I always persuade the little girl, you don't know people, what if you save a bad person? Isn't it a sin if you save him and then harm others.
The little girl said that there are still many good people in this world, and the chance of saving good people is greater than that of bad people, so they must be saved.
I asked the little girl, if one day you know that the person is a bad person, will you save it, the little girl thought for a long time and finally said that it is better to save it, maybe save him, he will change from a bad person to a good person?
Alas, I heard the words of the little girl, it was really angry, I heard that there was a Bodhisattva, I met an eagle and was about to eat a rabbit, the Bodhisattva said Eagle, don't kill, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha, the eagle said I was born to eat meat, I don't kill and I don't starve to death? The eagle asked the Bodhisattva I want to become a Buddha, but I am hungry to death, how can I become a Buddha?
The Bodhisattva thought about it and said, then you should eat my flesh, so the Bodhisattva cut his own flesh and fed it to the eagle, and the eagle ate the Bodhisattva's meat, and then said I heard the scholar say, the body is skinned, and the parents who receive it cannot be damaged, Bodhisattva, you cut off your own flesh and feed me, aren't you unfilial, the unfilial person is a wicked person, can a wicked person be a Bodhisattva?
As for what the Bodhisattva said later, I don't remember very well.
I think from time to time, God is so unfair, why such a good life is not long, if I can exchange my longevity for the little girl's longevity, I would rather give her half of it, so that no matter where the little girl is, I can take care of her.
"I'll go to Toad Mountain to find her!"
"Well, little Brother Mo, be more careful yourself. ”
"Don't worry, I'm familiar. ”
