It is not very far between Wenxintang and Xinzihao Medicine Garden. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he concentrated on alchemy, Yang Tianhong still had to spare half an hour, that is, an hour or so, every day to come to the Wenxin Hall to take care of the outer disciples who were injured in the attack of the mad beast herd.

The monks in the Qi refining stage still retain many of the characteristics of ordinary people in the secular world. They have to eat, drink, and sleep every day. In contrast, the recuperation of the Tsukiji Monk after his injury is simple. They only need to meditate, add a certain amount of pills, and concentrate on meditation for a period of time to be cured.

Looking at the steaming bowl of chicken soup in front of him, Guo Hao only felt that his heart was full of indescribable gratitude.

There are pheasants everywhere on Mingfeng Mountain, Yang Tianhong is strong, and his subordinates also have guards to follow, so it is not difficult to get dozens of pheasants in a short time. However, the whole process of Yang Tianhong slaughtering pheasants by the water, Guo Hao happened to be able to see clearly from the bedroom window.

The pheasants were cleaned, chopped into small pieces on the cutting board and thrown into the pot, boiling together with many herbs that nourished blood and qi. Soon, the air in the entire Wenxin Hall was filled with a mouth-watering fragrance.

If it were the handyman in the outer courtyard, it would be impossible to make such an exquisite delicacy anyway. Guo Hao has always believed that the quality of the diet has little to do with personal cooking skills. The most important thing is whether the chef cares or not, whether the feeling of the person who actually eats the food in his mouth is extremely important?

There are many wild things in Mingfeng Mountain, and Yang Tianhong and five guards have to go out hunting every day. pheasants, wild boars, and fatty fish from the river...... During this period of time, the food of the injured outer disciples was not the same every day, and they were also raised one by one to be full of red faces, full of qi and blood, and the recovery speed of their injuries was also much faster.

Guo Hao swallowed a piece of crispy chicken, and thanked Yang Tianhong very gratefully: "Thank you for bothering, thank you!"

Yang Tianhong smiled disappreciatively: "Everyone is the same brother and sister, why bother to say these foreign words? Recuperate with peace of mind, tell me what you want to eat." There are so many birds and beasts in this mountain, but it's just a matter of raising your hands. ”

The taste of the chicken soup was very good, and Guo Hao quickly drank a large bowl full of soup. Yang Tianhong walked out of the ward with an empty bowl, and happened to meet Guo Linsheng, the master of the Gengjin Palace, who walked in from the outside.

He still had the same gloomy look as before, and the angle of his gaze at Yang Tianhong was completely slanted from the corner of his eyes. Yang Tianhong didn't care about this, stood sideways, got out of the way, did enough of the etiquette that a disciple should have, and waited until Guo Linsheng walked in front of him without saying a word, and then turned around and left.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

Guo Hao struggled to get up from the bed, but was grabbed by the quick-eyed Guo Linsheng and carefully helped him sit down.

"Don't move if your legs are inconvenient. It took a hundred days to hurt your muscles and bones, not to mention that you were seriously injured this time, and if you don't recuperate honestly, it will be too late for you to regret it later. ”

Facing his injured nephew, Guo Linsheng's rigid and cold face showed a gentle smile that was diametrically opposed to before: "How is it, are you better?"

Guo Hao slowly moved his arms, changed his body to a more comfortable position, smiled at Yang Tianhong's distant back, and said, "Thanks to the decoction sent by Senior Brother Yang every day, the wound has scabbed, and it is estimated that it will not take a few days, and you should be able to walk on the ground." ”

At the mention of Yang Tianhong, the smile on Guo Linsheng's face suddenly disappeared, and a layer of anger was covered in his eyes: "Thank him, don't forget, if it weren't for the fact that he killed so many people with the method of military formation, you wouldn't have been so seriously injured." ”

Guo Hao is very aware of his uncle's temperament and character. Regarding this matter, Guo Linsheng had already learned more about it among the disciples of the outer court, and he had already known the ins and outs of the matter. The reason why I still say this now is just because of my identity and I don't want to admit my mistake verbally.

"It's not Senior Brother Yang's fault. ”

Guo Hao persuaded tactfully: "During this time, he has been taking care of us and treating everyone equally. ”

Guo Linsheng snorted coldly from his nostrils: "It's just buying people's hearts." Those who cultivate the Tao and practice themselves diligently is the way of heaven. He was just doing it deliberately, maybe even knowing in advance that I was coming, and he was deliberately pretentious. ”

Guo Hao felt that his uncle was simply unreasonable. He frowned and kept shaking his head: "That's not the case. Senior Brother Yang is not that kind of person. ”

Guo Linsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, mixed with angry doubts, which gradually spread in his mind, but on the stereotyped and silent face, there was no trace of it.

All the while, my nephew was very respectful of himself.

An obedient and sensible child would actually confront himself face to face for the sake of an outsider?

Could it be that in this matter, I am really wrong?

......

Yang Tianhong didn't know about the conversation between Guo Linsheng and Guo Hao. He still came to the Wenxin Hall every day to take care of the injured disciples and distribute the decoction.

Guo Hao felt that he couldn't stand Yang Tianhong. Of course, it's because of my uncle.

He didn't happily pick up the bowl to eat meat and drink soup as usual, but pulled Yang Tianhong to sit down in front of the bed, took out an item from the Qiankun bag around his waist, and handed it over.

It was a blue-gray chain. Very stiff, ring-clad collisions. Make a crisp sound.

"I've loved refining since I was a child, and I've always dreamed of becoming the best alchemist. ”

Looking at Yang Tianhong with doubts on his face, Guo Hao smiled and said: "When I was a child, I was ignorant, and when I saw the elders of the family refining magic weapons, I just did the same, threw my father's shoes into the furnace, and wanted to refine a pair of flying treasure shoes. Hehe, of course, this is a child's joke. When I grew up, I wanted to try to refine weapons and magic weapons suitable for my own use. A lot of money was spent, a lot of materials were wasted, and still nothing came of it. Perhaps, I really don't have talent in refining weapons, and my strength is not enough, so it should be too late to turn to other aspects now. ”

Yang Tianhong picked up the iron chain more than three meters long and looked at it carefully, and asked curiously: "Is this the magic weapon you refined?"

"This thing has no spirituality, it is not a magic weapon, at most it is harder than ordinary mortal iron objects. ”

Guo Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have always wanted to create a magic weapon that is both offensive and defensive, and I have been grinding and making trouble from the old people at home, and finally got a little Tianxing Iron and Molten Fluorite, together with a lot of materials accumulated before, and finally refined this chain." It's just that cultivating this kind of thing doesn't mean that you will be able to succeed if you put your heart and soul into it. It still has no spirituality and cannot be moved by mana. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Hao picked up one end of the chain, held it in the palm of his hand and stroked it slowly, and sighed with emotion: "This thing is a real chicken rib for me." It's useless to keep it, and it's a pity to throw it away. Whether it is a four-grade Tianxing iron or a six-grade molten fluorite, it is an extremely rare high-grade ore. Senior Brother Yang, you enter the Tao with martial arts, and you are very suitable for using strong and heavy weapons. Instead of letting this broken magic weapon that has been refined and discarded follow my pearl to dust, it is better to give it to my junior brother, melt it back in the furnace, and refine it into a weapon that suits you. ”

Although there is no deep friendship with Guo Hao, he is not a stranger. Yang Tianhong omitted the politeness on the surface, arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I will be disrespectful." ”

When his fingers touched the chain, Yang Tianhong felt the Linglong Treasure Lock move. Based on his experience and intuition, he believes that the chain is a kind of lock accessory. He was even thinking about what method should be used to exchange it from Guo Hao, but he didn't expect Guo Hao to say bluntly: This is a gift for himself.

With indescribable ecstasy, Yang Tianhong hurriedly returned to the Xinzi Medicine Garden, and arranged for five guards to set up a guard around as usual. In his room, Yang Tianhong took several deep breaths, and then took the chain he had just gotten and entered the interior of the Linglong Treasure Lock.

The passage on the wall of Xianzi No. 1 cell had a wonderful attraction, pointing Yang Tianhong into it. Looking at the grooves that had been filled with lock cylinders and latches on the platform at the end, Yang Tianhong tried to control his intense excitement and took out the iron chain he got from Guo Hao from the Qiankun bag.

The groove of the lock emitted a soft red light, enveloping Yang Tianhong's whole person from head to toe. In his hand, the iron chain more than three meters long shrank sharply at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a thin and short silver chain.

Not long, not short, not big or small, just in line with the shape of the chain at the bottom of the groove, the slightest bit is embedded in.

At this point, the lock in the passage of Xianzi No. 1 cell has been assembled, and the lock cylinder, lock latch, and chain are complete.

The red light cluster around Yang Tianhong became more intense. The walls behind the platform began to slowly split to the sides, making way for a passage about two meters wide. Feeling the vibration coming from the soles of his feet, Yang Tianhong saw that the red light around him also began to change, and they stretched along this new passage, straight to the large five-element array located at the core of the Linglong Treasure Lock.

Yang Tianhong subconsciously took out the "Linglong Secret Record" and quickly opened it.

This has become his habit: whenever there is a new change in the treasure lock, a new corresponding annotation will appear on the blank page of the "Linglong Secret Record".

Chain: It can be any kind of object that can bend freely, be flexible, strong, and have the nature of winding or binding.

Lock: A rigid stick-like object of any material.

Chains and latches can be refined over and over again to improve quality, or they can be strengthened by stacking more materials.

This is obviously an explanation of chains and locks, and it also shows the reason why the Linglong Treasure Lock has an induction on the chain given by Guo Hao.

At the end of these two notes, there is a line of text added in bold black letters: Extraordinary, not ordinary.

None of this is the focus of Yang Tianhong's attention.

On the title page of the Secret Record of Linglong, a striking note appears in golden font.

"The channel lock is completed, and all the blocking capabilities of the Linglong Treasure Lock are opened. ”

Yang Tianhong calmed down from the frenzied joy. He sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the "Linglong Secret Record" that was flat in front of him, and carefully thought about every link he had since he got the treasure lock.

He had long felt that the Linglong Treasure Lock was not just about sealing a large number of treasures. The room here is called the "Prison Cell", which means that no matter what the identity of the immortals and demons imprisoned in it is, they are all prisoners who cannot get out.

Since it's a lock, it should be controllable, or something should be sealed.

Could it be that this is just a prison-like existence?

This golden text annotation that has just appeared has solved some of Yang Tianhong's doubts.

Turn on all the blocking abilities, which means that the Linglong Treasure Lock can indeed play the function of "lock".

But what exactly does it lock?

Rival?

Magic weapon?

At the moment when doubts arose in his mind, Yang Tianhong found that a new line of text appeared on "Linglong Treasure Lock".

"The unlocking of Xianzi No. 1 cell has been completed, and the upper limit of the control time in the lock is three days. ”

Yang Tianhong's eyes immediately lit up with flames. If there is anything that can always maintain an irresistible allure for him, it is undoubtedly a new and powerful ability.

He certainly knows what it means to control time. Although, it's only three days.

A must try.

Yang Tianhong walked out of the Linglong Treasure Lock, called Yang Yuan, the guard standing outside the room, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "What time is it?"

His tone and expression were somewhat unnatural, and a noticeable tremor could be discerned. Yang Yuan, the guard, was very strange, and asked worriedly, "Young Master, are you sick?"

Yang Tianhong clenched his hands hard, slowly released them, controlled his extremely excited thoughts, shook his head, and said in a voice as calm as possible: "It's nothing, maybe I'm a little tired." Well, what time is it? noon? or is it not at any time?"

Yang Yuan turned his head, looked at the sunlight outside the window, and casually agreed: "It's past noon, and it's not time yet." ”

Yang Tianhong's excited and nervous mood gradually stabilized, thought about it, and said seriously: "I want to take a break, and by the way, practice the mantra taught to me by the master." I need absolute silence, you don't let anyone in outside, food and water are available in my room, and this time tomorrow, come in and call me. ”

Yang Yuan nodded in agreement. Closed cultivation is a normal thing, and it is not surprising.

Just as he was about to turn around and walk into the room, Yang Tianhong subconsciously stopped and repeated his previous words again: "Remember, tomorrow, you must come in and call me." ”

Although he didn't understand why the young master had repeatedly told him, Yang Yuan still nodded heavily, and said very seriously: "Please rest assured, young master, your subordinates will definitely not make a mistake." ”

Returning to the inside of the Linglong Treasure Lock, Yang Tianhong's excited mood had calmed down.

He set up the Ding Dan furnace and took out a large pile of waste herbs brought in from the warehouse outside.

If the Linglong Treasure Lock can really lock the time, then, in the next time, you can concentrate on alchemy here and familiarize yourself with the refining steps and processes.

One day outside the lock, three days inside the lock.

Is this true?

Shaking his head and clearing away the messy thoughts in his mind, Yang Tianhong focused all his attention on the Dan furnace in front of him.

Yang Yuan is a loyal veteran. Although he is over forty years old, compared to the elderly Yang Dashan and Yang Dahai, he is still a young man among the veterans of the Yang Mansion.

He had been very worried about Young Master Tianhong's body. Because, when he spoke before, the young master's tone and expression were different from usual.

As for the advice of "tomorrow, you must come in and call me", Yang Yuan didn't think there was any problem.

Wearing protective gear made of cooked cowhide and holding a steel knife, the burly Yang Yuan stood sideways outside the room, like a sturdy and heavy iron tower.

It was the same when he was guarding the hussar general outside the military tent.

The general saved his life from the battlefield, and from that time, Yang Yuan stubbornly believed that the general and his sister-in-law were his eternal masters.

The alternation of day and night passed quickly, and the sun gradually released light from the horizon, driving away the darkness.

Although he stayed awake all night, Yang Yuan did not feel tired, but was full of energy.

It was past noon, and there was a slight movement in the young master's room, as if he had woken up from his meditation cultivation and walked back and forth on the ground.

Seeing that the sun had not yet arrived, Yang Yuan turned around and walked in, raising his hand and knocking lightly on the door.

Yang Tianhong opened the door and walked out of it.

His indifferent expression was no different from usual: "Is it time now?"

Yang Yuan nodded: "Yes." ”

This answer was expected by Yang Tianhong.

When he entered the Linglong Treasure Lock yesterday, he placed an hourglass on the bedroom table. Coming out of the lock today, the sand in the hourglass has not yet leaked. This means that the time outside is indeed a day.

And inside the Linglong treasure lock, it is a full three days.

Yang Tianhong has realized that the specific function of the Linglong treasure lock is directly related to the integrity of the lock and lock inside each cell. Of course, the most important of these is still the large five-element array located at the core. If the missing parts of the five-element array lock are put together one by one, then the time for being locked will naturally increase exponentially. Don't say it's just three days, I'm afraid three years, or even thirty years, won't be a problem.

The problem is that the "Linglong Secret Record" has prompted that the missing lock accessories on the Great Five Elements Array must be specific objects, not like the three cells that were opened before, which can be replaced and generated by similar objects.

Yang Tianhong couldn't help but think of his master Chen Zhengjian.

When they met for the first time in the palace of the Chu Dynasty, Linglong Baosuo had a strong sense of the master.

There is no doubt that the master should have a missing accessory in the Great Five Elements Array.

Or, he knows the whereabouts of some of the accessories.
