"The five stones of lead and mercury are natural things, and they are the embodiment of the five elements of heaven and earth, yin and yang. If you can ......"

Tang Ping had a vision in his heart.

The way of alchemy is not only to refine the pill to eat, but also to observe the changes of lead and mercury while refining the outer pill, and verify the five elements of yin and yang?

The five elements of yin and yang are too subtle, and ordinary people, even Tang Ping himself, can't intuitively sense them, or they can't tell why they sense them.

Alchemy can indirectly perceive the five elements of yin and yang.

"Outer Dan and Inner Dan. Both inside and out. ”

Combined with the experience of later generations, Tang Ping set the way forward.

Bang!

A burst of black smoke came out, and the elixir refining failed.

The most ordinary pills couldn't be practiced, Tang Ping was not discouraged and continued to refine the pill.

The most fearful thing about cultivation is not that you will not succeed, but that you will be confused and not know where your goal is.

Now that you know your goal, even if you have a problem now, you will always be able to solve it in the future.

"Forget it, let's go back and get it."

Tang Ping wanted to go back to the territory for alchemy.

The heaven and earth here are not friendly with themselves, and there is no difference between cultivating here and ordinary cultivators, and they can't give full play to the advantages of the underground master.

Bang!

Just thinking about it, the elixir was refined again.

Tang Ping packed up the Dan furnace and materials, filled the storage bottle with a full well water, and then took out the bronze lamp and lit the red flame.

This is the social fire, the social fire has thousands of doppelgangers, leaving a little flame here, Tang Ping can go back quickly, of course, he can also let the flame become a doppelganger to deal with other affairs instead of himself.

Go out and tell Shi Jing and Qingyun to let them take care of the mountain gate and wait for them to come back.

"The danjing will be handed over to you."

With that, Tang Ping turned into flames and disappeared.

……

Thirty feet above the ground, there was a strange chariot, similar in style to a normal carriage, except that it was made of heavy bronze.

There were no horses in front of the carriage, but a translucent horse phantom composed of countless breezes, driven by the breezy horses, the carriage was very fast, and it could travel 2,000 miles in an hour.

There was something like spikes on the roof of the carriage, and the spikes lay horizontally, turning from time to time to point in a certain direction, and the carriage then turned.

The space inside the carriage is not ordinary, it is actually a small manor, with rockeries and water, and soldiers wearing bronze heavy armor.

The soldiers guarded the gazebo, and Ji Kao was in the middle of it.

This car is the Yellow Emperor's guide car, which travels against the wind, automatically avoids danger, and does not require a special coachman.

Ji Kao was holding a bamboo slip, and there were detailed information about the Chu State on it.

The predecessor of the Chu State was the Xiong tribe, and the Xiong clan was after Gaoyang, and after a lot of hardships, he went through a lot of hardships to get the size of the land.

"The road is blue, and the mountains and forests are enlightened."

Ji Kao muttered to himself, his eyes gradually shining.

This is the most common sentence on the lips of the monarch of the Chu State, which highlights the culture of the Chu people.

Before seeing him, Ji Kao was a little yearning for this place.

"Childe, the country of Chu has arrived."

Chu is a city with the capital near the northern frontier, separated by Yunmengze in the north, and there is a witch country in the northeast.

Looking down from the sky, the castle is brightly lit.

Ji Kao sent someone to report, and after a while, a nether carriage flew up.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a young man in a red robe came out, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes that seemed to be carved out of the same mold of the Chu royal family.

"Gongzi of Chu State, welcome Gongzi Kao to visit."

This person's name is Xiong Qian, the eldest prince of Chu State, originally ranked third, and after the heroic sacrifice of his two brothers, Xiong Qian also became the son of the world.

"It turned out to be a godbrother, and I have admired him for a long time."

The two greeted each other from the air.

"Father invited the son to the banquet, I don't know if the son can be convenient at this time?"

"Of course."

Xiong Qian led the Yellow Emperor's guide car to the capital.

The scenery below flashed away, and Ji Kao seemed to be a little interested in looking at the exotic scenery, but he was in a hurry to go to the banquet, so he didn't take a closer look.

After the banquet, Ji Kao rested for the night.

The next day, he took the initiative to find Xiong Qian.

"I'm very interested in the customs of Chu State, why don't you take me around?"

Xiong Qian was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I can arrange it in the next place." ”

"You don't have to move the crowd, let's bring a few entourages and go out in civilian clothes."

"Okay."

Several people put on the clothes of ordinary civilians and came to the most prosperous market.

Crowded streets, lined with stalls tempting for food.

There are noodles, braised pig's trotters, fried rice cakes, and braised boiled noodles on the stall, and the enticing aroma from this makes Ji Kao's index finger move.

"It is rumored that Chu people are good at gorgeous clothes and food, but when I look at it today, it is true."

Ji Kao was a little envious, Zhou Guo paid attention to etiquette, what could be worn, what could be eaten, and how much to eat were restricted, and it was impossible to eat and drink at will.

"Childe can buy whatever he wants."

Xiong Qian motioned to his subordinates to take a look, and his subordinates immediately went to the stall to pack.

Ji Kao's first impression of the state of Chu was free and prosperous.

"What is this?" Ji Kao pointed to something with white flowers not far away.

"This is tofu, according to legend, Emperor Shun toured the ...... south"

Thanks to Tang Ping's bad taste, most of the snacks in Chu are now related to Emperor Shun.

Looking at it all the way, Ji Kao couldn't help but be amazed.

The state of Chu abolished the slaves, and the streets were full of Chinese people, and everyone was well-dressed and energetic.

Ji Kao felt that maybe only Jingdu was like this, so he asked to go out of the city to take a look.

Outside the city are villages, and townships and villages are the grassroots of the Chu State.

Here, Ji Kao saw the vast farmland.

He was even more surprised to learn that the farmland was privately owned by the peasants and that the tax-paid harvest would be distributed by himself.

It was a policy that he had never heard of, and even the mild-mannered Ji Kao felt that it was a little too radical.

"The whole world is not the king's land, isn't it right for the subjects to farm for the lord?"

"Perhaps, but whoever eats that little bit has to fill people's stomachs." Xiong Qian didn't know how to answer, anyway, that's what he remembered.

"I want to think about ......"

Ji Kao also knew that he had talked too much.

Perhaps the people of Chu wear Chinese clothes and good food, as well as the bustling market, all because the people of Chu have surplus grain in their hands.

The group came to the river, and the village woman washed her clothes by the river.

There is a huge black shadow lurking under the clear water.

Pitch-black scales, golden vertical pupils, thick tail, and a pointed snout slowly probing into the water.

"Dragon!! There are dragons! Come on!! ”

Ji Kao shouted warning.

The women on the shore glanced at Ji Kao with the eyes of a fool, and then turned her hand and struck a stick on the dragon's mouth, and the dragon retracted into the water in grievance.

"This is the dragon of the dragon clan, it doesn't bite." Xiong Qian spoke out and slowly relieved the awkward atmosphere.

There is a translucent figure faintly among the grass and trees in the forest, and there is a big green snake lying at the foot of the figure, which is coiled up like the size of a millstone.

This figure is less than a mile away from the village, and everyone's eyes are on

"Demons!"

Ji Kao's heart sank.

"Don't panic, this is a mountain elf, and it doesn't eat people."

Hearing Xiong Gan's words, Ji Kao was relieved.

Next, he also met the little elves of the flowers, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the water, and the ghosts and gods of the underworld.

Usually this is a village, and the mountains or forests are the habitat of ghosts. Gradually, he got used to it.

During the period, I encountered the villagers to sacrifice, and the strange thing was that there was no sacrifice, but only three animals and fruits were used.

Ji Kao couldn't help but sigh, Chu Guo is really benevolent.

Xiqi abolished human sacrifice, but only for the Zhou people, the tribes and countries that depended on the Zhou people were not restricted, and the Zhou people could only rely on their influence to influence the princes and let them follow suit.

It can't be done in Chu State, and all employees are banned from top to bottom.

Not to mention human martyrdom, the Zhou people also popular human martyrdom, that is, people are buried after death.

This was repeatedly prohibited, and the monarch could only distract it, such as prohibiting torture and killing, prohibiting the number of commoners who died after death, and prohibiting the number of nobles who were martyred.

Because there is really a hell of hell, nobles also need to be served after they die.

The Chu State used clay puppets and straw figures.

Chu Guo and his party, Ji Kao left a deep impression on Chu State.

"Good clothes, good food, near witches and ghosts, far from the underworld."

There are many ghosts and monsters in the Chu Kingdom, most of them do not hurt people, although they are close to the places where people live, they all hide from humans, and most people do not know their existence.

Ji Kao's first feeling was harmony, the harmony between man and nature.

He probably liked it more here than Zhou Guo.

Whether it is the bustling city or the harmonious suburbs, it makes him feel a sense of relaxation that he has not seen for a long time.

"I plan to stay here for three years or two, I wonder if my brother is willing?"

"Welcome, Childe can stay as long as you want, but over there in Xiqi, won't Childe send someone to explain the situation?"

It doesn't matter how long Ji Kao stays, anyway, the cost is not much. But if Xiqi doesn't notify me, will there be a misunderstanding?

"It's okay, I'll just mention it a little."

Ji Kao smiled bitterly.

Xiong was surprised, and couldn't help but pity Ji Kao.

Zhou is a country that attaches great importance to patriarchy, and the primogeniture inheritance system is the system, but everyone knows that Ji Fa is the key to the prosperity of Zhou State, and Ji Fa is the desire of all the people, and Ji Kao is a little embarrassed.

It's just that Ji Chang is a saint again, and the saint is naturally perfect and will not take the lead in breaking the rules.

Ji Kao is still the prince, but the subjects and even the state respect Ji Fa and obey Ji Fa's control.

Ji Kaokong has the name of the son, has nothing to do, and his position is extremely embarrassing.

In addition, Ji Fa is about to break through to the human immortal.

Living in Chu this time is also to avoid brotherly rivalry.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I just want to be an idle person and ignore mundane things." Ji Kao had a smile on his face, and he couldn't hide the loneliness in his eyes.

This is a troubled time, and the capable person is on top, and he has no complaints, but the loss is certain.

"It's good to relax, there are a lot of good scenery in Chu Country, I'll take you around another day."

"Haha, I'm tired of my brother."

……

Wushan.

Tang Ping's figure suddenly appeared in the sinkhole, surrounded by ten glittering turtle shells spitting clouds, and a woman in Tsing Yi.

"Oops!!"

When she saw someone coming in, the clown's first reaction was to cover her face.

"Harlequin, it's me."

Tang Ping was a little helpless, this little girl is quite strong, why is she so shy?

"Oh, it's the Divine Master!" The harlequin patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on in the kingdom lately?" Tang Ping diverted the topic.

"A group of women have migrated from the countries of Xiaoxiang in the Chu Kingdom, and I have based on the well water of the mother and the son, so that the women of the Wu Kingdom can give birth to daughters without relying on men. At present, there are more than 100,000 witches in the kingdom, and according to my estimates, the number of witches will reach 2,000. ”

"What about the rest?"

"Responsible for having children."

"Lonely old age after giving birth?"

Tang Ping asked.

This sentence stumped the harlequin.

Isn't that the duty of a witch?

"I propose to turn the witch kingdom into a normal country, by the way, when can you see the qualifications of witches."

"Ten years old."

"That's good, witches can be selected from the folk, it doesn't need to be too complicated. Only witches are allowed to live on Wushan, and it is difficult to manage when there are too many people. ”

The harlequin is still too naïve, how she was rebelled before, and now she has forgotten it.

A group of competition winners and losers are mixed together, and they have to take on more difficult tasks, watching people who are similar to themselves before rise step by step, after a long time, they will definitely be angry, and when the time comes, random people will incite them to rebel.

It is better to be isolated from the world, and there is no one to go down the mountain to choose, which is also a reward for maintaining the rule.

The harlequin covered her mouth lightly and said in surprise: "I understand, Godlord! ”

"It's good to understand, let's go down."

"Yes!"

After the clown left, Tang Ping looked at the ten tortoises.

He planned to use the Ten Peng Turtles as a method of deduction to deduce the changes of the Dan Dao.

The Dan Dao system is too complicated, and it is estimated that it will take hundreds of years to explore as Tang Ping did before.

With the Ten Turtles, it's easy.

Tang Ping also knew some methods of divination.

Thinking of this, he activated his yin power, and the ten pun turtles flew up in the air, emitting various colors of essence light, and the light intertwined into a complex network.

Turtle shells are undergoing complex computational simulations.

Practice and then verify, reduce the cost of trial and error.

Simulation first, then practice, and extrapolation from the results of practice.

Tang Ping sat cross-legged below, and the ten turtles were running overhead.

The Ten Turtles are worthy of being ancient wonders, and the speed of operation is extremely fast.

The five stones such as lead, mercury, sulfur, saltpeter, magnet and various materials in the elixir, the size of the fire, the order of putting it, the amount of it, and the reaction between different orders.

The possible number is lined up and is simply astronomical.

And the Ten Turtles can perform a billion deductions in an instant, which greatly speeds up the process.

A month later.

Tang Ping could refine some ordinary pills.

The efficacy of these ordinary pills is comparable to that of a elixir and there are no side effects.

"Good! This is the right path! ”

Tang Ping said happily.

Sure enough, it is still its own territory suitable for deduction.

Other effects are a little worse.

With the increase in the number of alchemy, Tang Ping also comprehended his own techniques.

Three months later, the ordinary pill had been skillfully refined.

"Very well, let's go further." Tang Ping thought to himself.

The process of refining also gave Tang Ping some understanding of the way of the five elements.

"After the manifestation is the Yin God, and the Yin God can produce the Inner Dan in the body, and the Inner Dan is generally the manifestation of cultivation. What Neidan is generated is all passive and cannot be controlled by itself. ”

"Simply don't learn the follow-up exercises of Danjing, use the outer Dan to prove the inner Dan, and cultivate your own Yin God exercises."

At this time, everyone is just starting out and still in the exploration stage.

Others can create their own exercises, so why can't I myself?

Tang Ping thought.

"Neidan is also Dan, what if you use the method of alchemy to refine Neidan?"

"Nedan has no experience at all, while Outer Dan has experience, and Outer Dan seeks Inner Dan."

Tang Ping continued to evolve in alchemy.

Now stop practicing the Feather Ascension Sutra.

First, the Emperor Pill was transformed into a pill based on lead and mercury.

Then take the practice and seek the outside and the inside.

Let's see if we can comprehend a way of inner dan.

As for why you don't just refine the Inner Dan?

Neither will he.

Looking at it, the only person in the world who does this is himself.

……

Ji Kao temporarily settled in the state of Chu.

During this period, he traveled to all parts of Chu and practiced while walking, and he had a lot of inner insights.

He is not confined to the location, and can be sensed everywhere.

This day and night.

Ji Kao meditated at the foot of the mountain, receiving the light of the Ziwei Emperor Star in the sky.

This move alarmed Tang Ping in an instant.

Because the name of this mountain is - Jade Mountain.

What Ji Kao didn't know was that this was just the beginning of fate.

……

(Brothers, there's another chapter tomorrow at noon.) There's no way, Tai Jian's life rules are too underworld, and he doesn't wake up until one or two o'clock at noon every day, which is different from normal people. ）

(End of chapter)
