Section 153 Stories
Princess Jing'an is a smart person, she replied with a faint smile: "Your Majesty has already decided in her heart about this kind of thing, so why bother asking?"
Emperor Shunming has been smiling. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
His consideration is naturally more comprehensive than that of Princess Jing'an. However, his aunt's attitude made him feel very happy. Only such a person can make Emperor Shunming respect him as an elder.
......
A high wall has been built on the periphery of Yangjiazhuang. Compared to when it was first taken over, this place is more like a dock fort inhabited by wealthy families. Tall towers were erected on all sides, which were manned at all times. In the distance, you can see a huge three-story building at the core of Zhuangzi. This method of building with a mixture of masonry, stone and steel, of course, came from another world. Here, it has become Yang Tianhong's exclusive secret.
The alchemy room and the steel casting area were divided. In the middle are transplanted tall trees, and there are criss-crossing walls. If an outsider comes in without knowing what's going on, there's no way out. Yang Tianhong's original intention was the same, to build this place into a labyrinth, and at the same time, it was also an extremely strong defensive fortress.
The people of Chu have always been fierce, as long as you have money and land, the emperor can't control you to build forts and villages. As long as there is no verified evidence that you are plotting to rebel, it is your own business to build as many houses as you build and how high the walls are.
Yuan Changneng got up early and ran around the yard a few laps. Then he went naked, brought clean water from the well, washed his face and wiped his body.
This method was learned from the Yang family's guards. At first, Yuan Changneng was very disdainful of this way of bathing in broad daylight and felt that it was immoral. However, if the people around you do more, you will inevitably be affected. After persevering for a few months, Yuan Chang was able to find that taking a cold bath did have its wonders -- his body became stronger. Of course, this is due in large part to waking up early and running in the morning. As for cold water baths. It is true that you keep yourself away from colds and feel less sick.
Monks are also human beings and can get sick. 、
Yuan Changneng is a disciple of the Purple Furnace Hall of the Guiyuan Sect. Unlike other branch halls, the disciples of the Purple Furnace Hall are not all foundation building monks. A large part of them are Qi Refiners.
The Forging Body Pill is the primary pill that consumes the most in the sect. It is very easy to refine, and the various sects also regard the Body Forging Pill as an introductory method for training alchemists. Even in Taiyi Palace. There are also a considerable number of Qi Refining Level Dan Masters. They enjoyed the same treatment as a foundation building monk, and their daily work was to refine the Body Forging Pill.
Only a foundation building monk can refine the Yuan Qi Pill. This has become a common basic concept in the cultivation world.
Yuan Changneng was initially reluctant to go down the mountain. Not only him, but the other nine alchemy apprentices who were also in the Purple Furnace Hall all had this idea. They are very resistant, and even have an extremely strong resistance. If it weren't for the strict request of the hall master Shuo and the sect leader Zhong Yuanyu, I am afraid that these alchemy apprentices would have made trouble.
The benefits of staying in the mountains are numerous. The two most important ones are to be able to receive the pill on a monthly basis, and the other is to get more opportunities for alchemy. For the realm of improving their strength. Beneficial.
Yuan Chang was able to enter the Guiyuan Sect much earlier than Yang Tianhong. In terms of seniority, although the ten alchemy apprentices who came down the mountain were all qi refiners, they were also ranked as senior brothers in front of Yang Tianhong. People are like this, with qualifications, they will naturally have a contempt for the younger generations. What's more, although Yang Tianhong has repeatedly made contributions to the Guiyuan Sect, he has not benefited the Purple Furnace Hall too much. This time I went down the mountain because of this person. Coupled with the fact that there is no one to reconcile, the contradiction on the side of the alchemy room. Naturally, it is not as easy to solve as the Foundry Bureau presided over by Zhang Yan, the first disciple of the Flame Palace.
All of this happened a few months ago.
Yuan Chang was able to spend half an hour breathing and breathing, running exercises in his body. By the time the work was finished, the sky was completely bright, the air was fresh, and I took a deep breath. It's soothing.
As on the Foundry Bureau's side, each alchemy apprentice has his own room. Yuan Chang was able to get dressed and walked into the house, where breakfast was already set on the wooden table.
The noodles are freshly made and the chef is good. The roots of ramen noodles are generally thick and thin, and they are long and short. The pork sauce toppings are rich in flavor, and the soup noodles are shiny with oily splashes. Oil chili, garlic paste, ginger juice, coriander, leek flowers...... There are all kinds of spices on a full plate, and the utensils used are all of the best, and it is up to each person to put more or less.
As for the bowl of soup, it was also an old hen that had been boiling for several hours. Delicious and rich, Yuan Chang was able to taste it, and couldn't help but pick up the bowl and drink a few sips in a row.
Yesterday's breakfast was bibimbap. Although it is ordinary, the side dishes that accompany the meal are finely cooked. It is a side dish made by boiling eggplant in chicken broth, shredding and drying it, and then deep-frying it to make a cold salad.
The day before yesterday, it was longan buns with white porridge. Although the style is ordinary, the bun filling is extremely exquisite. Pork, chicken, and venison are finely chopped and pureed with broth. Yuan Chang can meet the chef who makes steamed buns. He never understood why a fat man weighing more than 200 pounds was stronger than a pig, and his short and thick fingers were so flexible that he could quickly pinch out a steamed bun the size of a dragon's eye? You know, the size of the bun was actually about the same as a fat chef's fingers.
Just for breakfast, the daily consumption of each alchemist would not be less than five taels of silver.
Before entering the Guiyuan Sect, Yuan Changneng was also a commoner. After a long time of hard life, he still remembers the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
Although the alchemy apprentices complained about going down the mountain, no one blamed Yang Tianhong, a fellow disciple.
He is very good at dealing with people, and his life is extremely finely arranged, even in the mountains, alchemy apprentices cannot enjoy such specifications. What's more, every once in a while, Yang Tianhong would come over to ask for warmth and ask if he needed anything. This kind of warm hospitality made the alchemy apprentices a little embarrassed, and they gradually faded their initial complaints and anger.
After breakfast, it's a cup of tea. The tea is also a good pre-rain hair, and it is sold for more than 50 taels of silver on the market.
The refreshed Yuan Changneng took square steps and walked into his alchemy room.
The alchemy furnace was specially built by the Foundry Bureau, and it was exactly the same as the style on the Guiyuan Sect Mountain. As for the method of igniting and controlling the fire, this is the basic method that every alchemy apprentice must practice on the mountain. If you can't even do this, you can't talk about alchemy, and you don't even have the qualifications to be an apprentice.
There are many medicinal herbs in the corners of the house. Grass of the Winter, Yellow Fruit, White Floccular...... In addition to these low-grade herbs, there are also high-grade materials such as Feilu wild chrysanthemum and ginger red grass.
Picking up a white flower, Yuan Changneng only felt very emotional.
When allocating the alchemy room. All the alchemy apprentices, including themselves, were stunned by such a large amount of alchemy materials.
When they were on the Guiyuan Sect Mountain, according to the custom, each person could get three refining opportunities per month. The pharmaceutical material obtained each time is two copies. In this way, each person can refine it six times a month.
Alchemy is no different from the training of workers in another world. Alchemist grading system. It is equivalent to the division from junior workers to senior skilled craftsmen. If a worker wants to improve his skills, of course, he needs a lot of repeated practice. There could not be a better way. The practice of instilling mental memories directly into the human brain through computers is only found in science fiction. Here, naturally, it is even more impossible.
The people who can be selected to become alchemy apprentices are very shrewd. They are well aware of their strengths and weaknesses. At that time, the reason why I complained about going down the mountain was because I felt that I would not get the same treatment as I did when I went down the mountain, and there were not so many materials for me to practice.
Yuan Chang can remember every word Yang Tianhong said at that time.
"Senior brothers, please feel free to take the medicinal materials here. Each person can get five copies of Forging Body Pill materials per day. Of course. The quality of the medicinal materials here is slightly worse, and the proportion of prescriptions is also different from that of commonly used Danfang. In addition, there is a book of alchemy methods here, you can refer to one or two. The finished body forging pill obtained every day, you can keep one pill for yourself, and the rest of the pill will be handed over to the sect. Of course, the system of rewards and punishments is also announced here. If the number of senior brothers refining pills increases significantly, then the number of medicinal materials distributed every day will also increase correspondingly. Ranging from 10 to 20 servings. The quality is also higher than the current one. In short, the specific details are in this booklet. Everyone's alchemy results will also be recorded. Senior brother, I wish you all the best success and early foundation. ”
What is the concept of five servings of material per day?
This is almost a month's normal training volume of the Purple Furnace Hall of the Guiyuan Sect.
When they heard the news, Yuan Changneng and the other nine alchemy apprentices were completely shocked, and they were speechless on the spot.
Not only that, but each person can also set aside one from Cheng Dan for their own use every day.
You know, even on the Guiyuan Sect Mountain. The alchemy apprentices are only given three forging pills every month. Although the number exceeded that of ordinary outer disciples per month, it was not enough for daily cultivation consumption.
At that time, the ten alchemy apprentices became emotional. However, the excitement and excitement only lasted for a few seconds. And the minds of the people became calm.
"Senior Brother Yang, you shouldn't be exaggerating, right? Each person keeps one pill a day, and it's thirty pills a month. This, this, this kind of thing, will the master agree?"
Yang Tianhong's answer at that time was very serious: "All the affairs here are managed by me." The relevant matters have been filed in the sect, and the hall master and the sect master are very clear. Brothers, please rest assured that this matter is not a lie. If the senior brother does not believe it, he can also ask the master for verification in person. ”
As he spoke, Yang Tianhong took out a Xuantie token. It is engraved with four big characters "The suzerain is coming".
This is a token owned by the head of the Guiyuan sect, which means that the holder has the power equivalent to the suzerain. This token has a unique ban on the Guiyuan Sect, and it is absolutely impossible to counterfeit.
"Of course, senior brothers can't just see the benefits. If the alchemy fails again and again, and too many materials are consumed, then it is naturally impossible to talk about the pills that are kept every day. Moreover, the retained pill must be jointly evaluated by all the senior brothers, and from the pill refined by each person every day, the worst quality one must be selected for their own use. ”
For this regulation, Yuan Changneng and all the alchemy apprentices had no objection.
As long as it is human, it has selfish intentions. Everyone wants to keep the best for themselves. The quality of alchemy is good and bad, good and bad. It is understandable to leave the worst quality elixir by yourself. After all, alchemy consumables, utensils, shelter, etc., were all provided by Yang Tianhong alone. Although the alchemy apprentices didn't understand what it was, they also knew that these basic operations were inseparable from the Guiyuan Sect. This is equivalent to using other people's money and materials to increase one's own cultivation. Therefore, it is necessary to do our best in every furnace. Otherwise, it is you who will suffer.
Yuan Changneng has a very good impression of Yang Tianhong, the little junior brother. Because he not only knows how to be a person and does things, but also likes to tell stories.
"I don't know if you have ever heard the story of an old carpenter who built a house for a rich man for decades. He felt that he was getting old and wanted to settle his wages and go home. The rich man is a very kind man. He asked the old carpenter to help him build a house at the end. Of course, the rich man is responsible for the consumables, and the style, workmanship, time, etc., are all decided by the old carpenter. The old carpenter had no objection to this, but he was busy going home, and the workmanship became rough. Absent-minded. When the house was built, both the quality and the degree of sophistication were far inferior to what he had done before, and it could even be said to be extremely poor. ”
At that time, Yang Tianhong deliberately sold a pass: "Can you senior brothers guess the ending of this story?"
Some people say that the rich man was very angry and beat the old carpenter.
Some say that in the end, the rich man withheld all the money from the old carpenter as compensation.
Yuan Chang can think of himself, saying that the rich man is still merciful, for the sake of his past feelings. I can only admit that I am unlucky and let the old carpenter leave.
The answer given by Yang Tianhong was beyond everyone's expectations.
The rich man gave the old carpenter a key and said that the house was a gift from him to the old carpenter. Of course, the wages over the years will be settled separately. Originally, I thought that with the honesty and craftsmanship of the old carpenter, the house must be beautifully built. Who would have thought that the old carpenter would treat him like this...... With that, the rich man sighed and turned to leave. The stunned old carpenter was left standing alone, looking at the house he had built casually without tears. ”
Then. No one noticed when Yang Tianhong left. Including Yuan Changneng, all the alchemy apprentices fell into deep thought. I am thinking about this story that sounds simple, but contains deep philosophy.
Until now, Yuan Changneng still remembers every word of the story. He was glad that he was selected to be one of the apprentices of the lower mountain alchemy. If it weren't for that, I am afraid that I would still be on the mountain, and I would honestly practice the Dan six times a month step by step. Not only can the technique not be improved. I can't enjoy such generous treatment and hear such thought-provoking stories.
After carefully cleaning the herbs on his hands, Yuan Chang was able to put all kinds of materials into the Dan furnace one by one, close the furnace door, and pinch his hands into a seal. A dantian fire suddenly triggered the fuel piled up on the periphery of the Dan furnace, and the furnace fire quickly burned brightly.
In the process of alchemy, the Dan Master must meditate, fully immerse his mind and consciousness in the Dan furnace, follow the initial wisp of flame back and forth, identify the changes of medicinal materials in different stages of the furnace, and thus judge a series of processes such as dissolving, fusion, energy channeling, and condensation.
The reason why Dan masters are divided into different grades is because not every Dan master can accurately grasp all the steps of alchemy. This requires a monk with a very keen spiritual sense. Because of this, alchemists can only choose from among monks with a keen sense. This is an innate talent that is difficult to form.
Whether or not you can grasp the direction of the flame and the amount of flame energy inside the Dan furnace is directly related to the success rate of refining the pill. Generally speaking, the stronger the ability to think inductively, the higher the success rate of alchemy. The difference between the second, third, and fourth grades of different classes of Danshi lies in the difference in the strength of thinking induction. After all, the Dan Fang is written in the book, and theoretically speaking, as long as you follow the steps and follow the map, anyone can become an alchemist. The crux of the matter is that individuals have different abilities to comprehend. Just like a calculus math problem, although the teacher has clearly demonstrated the solution method on the podium and sent out the homework, there are still some people who don't know anything...... All in all, that's the difference.
In another world, there is a famous saying that Yang Tianhong admires - success is equal to one point of genius and ninety-nine points of sweat.
These alchemy apprentices sent by the Guiyuan Sect were obviously not geniuses. With Huang Shiren by his side, Yang Tianhong is equivalent to a powerful miniature detector. Does the other party have a spiritual root? Just look at it to find out. For the pattern of fait accompli, Yang Tianhong cannot change. But he was able to let these mediocre alchemy apprentices have a huge amount of medicinal materials, allowing them to learn lessons repeatedly in the process of failing again and again. Even if these people's cultivation is limited in the future, and they can only be promoted to the fifth rank or even the fourth rank Dan Master at most, it is actually enough for Yang Tianhong, for the Guiyuan Sect, and for the huge plan he is implementing.
The Four Pindans can refine the Pei Yuan Dan. That kind of thing is the special product of Jindan stage monks.
The efficacy and role of Fu Yuan Dan far exceed that of Pei Yuan Dan, and monks who have entered the Yuan Infant Stage can only strengthen their cultivation with Fu Yuan Dan. If the alchemist level is lower than the fifth grade, it will not be possible to refine the Fuyuan Dan at all.
Above the primordial baby, there is also distraction.
On top of distraction, there is Mahayana.
The elixir corresponding to the monks in the distraction period is the Lingyuan Pill, and the Mahayana monks can only take the Guyuan Pill in order to ensure a strong and incomparable cultivation. This hierarchical differentiation corresponds to the sixth- and seventh-rank alchemists. However, looking at the entire cultivation world, not to mention the sixth-rank and seventh-grade, there are even very few fifth-rank Dan masters, which are even rarer than the giant pandas in the other world.
As long as you embark on the path of cultivation, the pill is a problem that no one can bypass. (To be continued.) )
