Volume 1 Wandering in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 14 Please Catch Ghosts in the City God
When he went back, Lin Zining also went back to his residence to put his clothes first, and then rushed to the place where Gaoqing was alchemizing.
When he entered the stone room, Lin Zining saw the excitement on the faces of the two grandsons, and knew that this elixir had been refined. After asking, it is exactly like this, Gao Qing even deliberately named this pill Kunyuan Agni Pill, which means that although this pill has the masculinity of fire, it has the meaning of Kun Yuan, which nourishes all things.
Lin Zining went out at the beginning of noon, and now it is already the middle of the day, and it has been two hours, don't say Li Qi, even Gao Qing is also curious about this, after all, Lin Zining was very curious about alchemy before, why did he delay for so long, so that he didn't catch up with Cheng Dan.
Lin Zining naturally couldn't tell the truth, but said: "After I go back, I will prepare a meal after taking a bath, and I feel groggy after eating, and I can't get up next to the bed, if I hadn't just been woken up by a burst of thunder, I'm afraid I'm still asleep at this time." ”
Hearing this, Gao Qing did not doubt it, but comforted: "I have really worked hard for you in the past two days, and now that the Kunyuan Flame Pill has been refined, my luck is not bad, and I have received seven out of ten medicines, which is better than expected." ”
Lin Zining said secretly, he couldn't imagine that this Gaoqing alchemy technique would have such attainments, it was really amazing. After thinking about it, I thought about it, although he didn't say much, but he was also a thoughtful and well-founded person, how could he practice such evil kung fu? I'm afraid there are unusual stories.
However, this thought also passed away in a flash, and Lin Zining immediately said: "I didn't expect Mr. Gao's alchemy technique to have such attainments. ”
Gao Qing said: "There are also reasons for you, one is that your recipe is good, and the other is that you burn the fire well." ”
When Lin Zining heard this, he was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Mr. has praised it falsely, it is fortunate that there is nothing to get in the way, how dare Zining be greedy." ”
I thought that this would be the end of the story, but I didn't want Gao Qing to ask another question: "You said in this recipe that Kunyuan Agni Fire Pill takes one pill a day for six days, and then diagnoses the pulse and changes the dressing." But now that the alchemy has been used for three days, it will take six days to change the dressing, and the time is a bit tight. ”
Xu was refining the Kunyuan Flame Pill, Gao Qing was happy, he talked a lot, and put forward new requirements. The so-called tight time is not because of illness, but because of the fear that the government will send people to kill him. Gao Qing pointed to the end, and Lin Zining also understood.
Gao Qing had another problem, Lin Zining did not answer immediately, but circled around the Dan furnace in the stone room, and the two grandsons knew that Lin Zining was thinking of a way, and they did not rush him.
Speaking of which, Gao Qing also knew that his request was a bit excessive, if there was no person like Lin Zining, refining the pill at this moment would naturally be to escape far away while taking the pill. When I finish taking it, I will switch to a new drug according to the situation, where will I think about compressing the time?
After about a stick of incense, Lin Zining finally came up with a solution, he walked in front of Gao Qing and stopped, and said: "There is a flower in the land of Chu Yue Ninghong, called Qianhong, when this flower is mature, the stem is more than five feet high, there are no branches and no leaves around the body, only three or four purple leaves grow on the top, and a red flower blooms on the purple leaf, and the petals are like thousands of filaments, so it is called Qianhong." ”
"But what we want is not the flower, but the root underneath, which is shaped like a ball, but red on the inside. The greatest use of this thousand red root is to invigorate the blood and invigorate qi, if you take the decoction made from the thousand red root, you can take two Kun Yuan Agni Pills a day. ”
Hearing that there was such a way, Li Qi laughed and said: "I can't imagine that this kid of yours is really a talent, and if you don't force you, you are not willing to use your real skills." ”
This is a bit heart-wrenching, and it sounds familiar. However, Lin Zining didn't care, but continued.
"However, this has a downside, that is, it will allow the toxins in the body to accumulate in the wound that has healed, and you need to cut the wound with a knife to expel the poisonous blood. And because the Kunyuan Flame Pill is already violent, coupled with the urging of the thousand red roots, the process of stimulating the medicinal power will be very painful. ”
Hearing this, Li Qi stopped talking. Gao Qing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is Qianhong Root easy to find?" ”
Lin Zining said: "At the beginning of the month, the thousand red flowers will emit a faint red light under the moonlight, which is easy to find, that is, digging the thousand red roots requires some skills, but if it is needed, I can dig it tonight." ”
Gao Qing asked again: "Do you need any excipients?" ”
Lin Zining said: "The adjuvant medicine has been there before, and the gold sore medicine is also needed." ”
Richie interjected, "We have the best gold sore medicine with us. ”
Also, can such a character not bring some urgently used medicines? And this gold sore medicine must have an extraordinary effect.
"In that case, there is no problem." Lin Zining said, "Tonight, Mr. Gao can take the Kunyuan Agni Fire Pill to catalyze the medicinal power, Mr. Li can protect the Dharma here, and I will go to the mountains to dig medicine." ”
Gao Qing and Li Qi had no objection to this, at this time, the light in the stone room had already dimmed, Gao Qing directly took a Kunyuan Flame Pill, Li Qi was by the side to protect the Dharma, and Lin Zining went out to collect medicine.
Why do you want to do your best to help Gao Qing with Lin Zining? This is because Lin Zining wants to take advantage of tonight to directly refine the remaining three meridians and six meridians, namely the three Jiao meridians, the gallbladder meridian and the liver meridian. He was afraid that the power of the True Qi was too great, and it would not be good to alarm Gao Qing and Li Qi.
Lin Zining returned to his residence first, took the hoe and the back basket that had been loaded with fish last time, and hurried away while the sunset. At this time, Lin Zining had already refined the five meridians on his hands and four meridians on his feet, a total of nine meridians and eighteen veins, and the height, speed, and distance of the jump were not comparable in the morning.
But at this time, he deliberately ran for half an hour before stopping, thinking that it should be more than fifty miles away from Gao Qing's residence, but the itching on his body was not as strong as before, it seemed that his conjecture was not wrong, after rushing to the acupoint, the half-formed Gu worms planted by Gao Qing could not play any role.
If you completely refine the twelve meridians and twenty-four veins, you will not be threatened by Gao Qing. But it's true, the more you can't stay away from Gaoqing, otherwise it won't be good if you miss it.
At this time, the afterglow of the sunset had long since dissipated, the bright moon was hanging high, and Lin Zining was looking for the faint red light in a mountain in the middle of nowhere. As he was looking carefully, he heard the sound of gongs and drums not far away, and the wail of a ghost in the underworld under the abyss, thin and sharp, cold and resentful.
Lin Zining held his mind and listened carefully, the voice said: "Luanping County Chenghuang patrols the night, the Yin soldiers open the way, the living retreat, the ghosts return to their places, and the demons and evil are appeased." The voice kept repeating the words, both leisurely and faint.
It was the first time Lin Zining had encountered the night patrol of the city god, and when he heard the Yin soldiers opening the way, he was frightened, and then he was curious, but he didn't dare to provoke the city god yet, he just jumped onto a tree and watched the slowly moving Yin soldiers from a distance. He thought that the city god should sit in a sedan chair and let the Yin soldiers carry it, but he didn't want the city god to be rough and mighty on a horse.
When the Chenghuang Yin soldiers couldn't see it, Lin Zining turned over from the tree, and when he fell to the ground, he felt cold behind him.
Something is wrong, Lin Zining was optimistic about the thousand red flowers in front of him, but at this time, he continued to walk forward quietly, and after walking for almost a stick of incense, the coldness behind him did not disappear, but became more and more serious.
Lin Zining was shocked, this was a personal ghost. In the "Persona" written by Chen Minzhi of the Northern Qi Dynasty, it is recorded that "there is another ghost who likes to attach himself to people's backs, such as ointment close to the body, so it is called a personal ghost." This ghost is difficult to get rid of, the longer the negative, the heavier its body, after the negative day and night, such as a thousand pounds, although a man in the prime of life, also like a hundred years old, faltering, difficult to move an inch. ”
Unexpectedly, he not only met the night patrol of the city god tonight, but also was close to the personal ghost.
Although the city god was canonized by the imperial court, he was a priest of the Yin Division, specializing in night stability. During the night patrol, it is not a special situation, they are all stealth, and those who can see the Yin soldiers are not ordinary people, and the personal ghosts also pick unstable people to possess them.
Lin Zining didn't know how to get rid of the personal ghost, there was no record in "Persona", and he didn't dare to take this personal ghost to practice the Dao, he believed that Gao Qing and Li Qi must have countless ways to deal with this personal ghost, if they used soul searching or some other method to force them to ask about their cultivation of the Dao, wouldn't it be the end of the game?
In a hurry, Lin Zining ran wildly all the way, and simply went to chase the Chenghuang Yin soldiers.
Not long after running, Lin Zining heard the long and faint voice again: "Luanping County Chenghuang patrols the night, the Yin soldiers open the way, the living retreat, the ghosts return to their places, and the demons and evils are appeased." ”
Before Lin Zining ran to Chenghuang, he felt that his body was light, and the eerie and cool feeling was gone. But how smart Lin Zining is, how can he let it go a few times and let the personal ghost escape calmly, if so, he may stick to his back at any time.
However, it was too late to run over at this time, so Lin Zining shouted loudly: "Lord Chenghuang, the villain is possessed by a personal ghost, and please save the villain's life." Lin Zining's words were so loud that they frightened a lot of birds that were sleeping at night.
As soon as his holy seal stopped, he heard a powerful voice shouting loudly: "Evil obstacle, don't hurry up and arrest it." Then, Lin Zining heard a terrible scream. Then Lin Zining heard the voice and said, "You come close, I have something to ask you." ”
Lin Zining walked forward as he said, and when he arrived in front of the Chenghuang horse, he didn't dare to look directly at the Chenghuang, so he lowered his head and looked down, but saw that these Yin soldiers were all floating under their feet, only the horse landed on all fours.
The city god on the horse looked Lin Zining up and down, and after a while, Lin Zining raised his head. Lin Zining raised his head and saw that this city god was quite tall, if he dismounted and stood, it was estimated to be one zhang tall, wearing a martial arts, wearing bright light armor, and long boots. I wanted to take a closer look at his appearance, but I couldn't see it clearly, and I vaguely felt that it was a bearded hair.
Then he asked, "Why did you go to the mountains in the dead of night?" ”
Lin Zining replied: "In order to collect the roots of the thousand saffron into medicine to save people." ”
"Do you know why you can see us and be possessed by that personal ghost?"
"I know a little bit because I'm unstable."
