Chapter 26: Alchemy in the Sand
The great disciple of the Evil Buddha Dao called Jin Bushen, painted a three-pronged dragon horn pattern on his forehead, carried a five-hundred-pound black iron hammer on his shoulder, and shouted loudly: "Haha, what about cheating? If your master dares to move, he will lose. If he doesn't move, I'll smash him to pieces. With your two children, can you still stop us! Brothers, do it! ”
Xuanyi and Xuantian were so anxious that they shouted: "Master, get up quickly, they want to kill you, wake up quickly." ”
The seven disciples pushed the second child aside and surrounded the Taoist with murderous aura. Seeing that the Taoist closed his eyes and was peaceful, like a statue, the golden unsinkable hammer was raised above his head and shouted: "Little Taoist, Huangquan is a ghost, don't blame me for being ruthless, who let you be smart and fight with my master." ”
The other party raised the hammer and was about to commit murder, but Xuantian was blocked out, so he could only cry loudly: "Master, why haven't you woken up yet." You're dead, what are we going to do? Master, wake up! Woooooooo ”
At the time of the crisis, Xuan Yi suddenly rushed to the evil Buddha Dao, holding the demon sword and shouting: "If you dare to harm my master, then I will kill your master first!" Let's see which of us is fast. With that, he raised his sword and slashed at Lao Dao's neck. The seven disciples turned pale with fright and shouted, "Master, wake up quickly!" ”
The evil Buddha heard it clearly, and he was so frightened that he tilted his body to dodge, and fell from the sand platform with an "oops", and the seven disciples ran to help him in a panic.
Xuan raised his sword and laughed happily: "Haha, haha, you lost." You carving insect skills, you can fool others, but you can't fool me. It is the clever who is mistaken by the smart, and the confused old Taoist teaches seven stupid apprentices. ”
Seeing that the master was fine, Xuantian wiped his tears and became happy.
Lao Dao landed and was covered in black and gray, embarrassed, and got up to reprimand his disciples: "The seven of you are tall and strong, and you are not as good as a little baby!" Lost a game for nothing. The seven disciples all bowed their heads in shame and remorse, how did they know that this little baby was so cunning, and they knew that it was better to tie up the two of them.
Seeing that the evil Buddha Dao was defeated, Xuanyi climbed to the sand platform, picked up the copper bell on the Taoist's waist, and knocked it on his ear. smiled: "Master, wake up." Master, wake up. We won. The bell made a pleasant sound, and the Taoist soul returned to his body and slowly opened his eyes.
"Master, master, you're awake! They almost killed you just now, and they scared me to death, woo! Xuantian threw himself into the arms of the Taoist, and his heart palpitated and cried again. The Taoist hugged Xuantian and comforted: "Xuantian, the master is fine. Be a man, even if the master is gone, you can protect yourself and live happily. "I want the master's protection!" I will never leave the master. "Xuantian lay in the arms of the Taoist and said coquettishly." Oops hey! Brother, you're useless. The master is dead, don't you still have me to protect you! Xuanyi took out a piece of candy from his pocket and ate it, shaking his head and saying with disdain. I don't want my sister, my sister always causes trouble, and she wants me to follow the blame. Xuantian pouted.
"Ahem! You have a good relationship between master and apprentice. Well, you're lucky to have won. Now let's move on to the second one. The second competition question, you come up! "The evil Buddha Dao tidied up his clothes and tried to compete with the Taoist again.
The Taoist walked down the high platform and said, "The first meditation is compared to the Dao heart, and the second one is to test the Dao wisdom." We each test each other's questions, and the one who answers wins. Then I'll come first in this game. ”
After speaking, he squatted down and grabbed a handful of sand from the ground, and asked, "My question is very simple, may I ask the chief how many gravels are in my handful of sand?" ”
"Ahh How many grains of sand? What the hell is this question, who can answer this? The crowd was stunned and questioned each other?
"Master, this handful of sand is at least 10 million people, who can guess this, even if it takes a few days. This little Taoist priest is obviously deliberately making things difficult, and even he himself can't know the answer. The disciples also gathered around Lao Dao to come up with ideas.
"Haha! You can't answer such a simple question. Hey, hurry back to your mountains and stay there, don't come out and be embarrassed. Seeing that no one on the other side could guess the answer, Xuan Yi grinned and danced with his hands.
Lao Dao thought for a long time and didn't have an answer, so he snorted coldly: "Okay!" I throw in the towel, I really can't guess how many grains of sand you have in your hand. It's up to me to ask you, though. Do you know how many grains of sand you have in your hands? If you can't answer it yourself, we're a draw. "That's right! Right! Right! You don't know the answer yourself, so it's a draw! The group of disciples shouted triumphantly.
But he saw that the Taoist sprinkled the sand in his hand on the ground, and looked at Xuanyi and smiled slightly: "Xuanyi, tell them, how many sands are in the master's hand?" ”
Xuan Yi jumped out, pointed at Lao Dao and said with a smile: "Lao Dao, you listen well, the number of sand in my master's hand is zero!" So, can you be convinced? ”
"Ahh Zero? Isn't this a blindman? ”
Lao Dao's eyes jumped, and he couldn't imagine that the Taoist was so cunning. The sand was in his hands, and he could naturally control the amount of it at will. In this way, I really lost a chip.
"Cheat! They're cheating, this game doesn't count! This game doesn't count! The old Taoist disciples were not convinced and shouted.
The red-haired old man did not deny it, waved his hand and scolded the disciple: "Shut up." He is really superior in this game, and we lost clearly. However, he was just clever in these two games, and we won the next two games. ”
"Oooh! The master has won again! The master has won again, so we will win! The two children cheered happily and danced hand in hand.
Lao Dao stepped forward and drank: "What a little Taoist, if you don't show your real skills, it seems that my evil Buddha Dao can't win against you." That being the case, Hugh blames me for being unkind. In the next game, I want to compete with you in four levels, these four levels are alchemy in the sand, exorcism of the gods, heart-splitting, and fugue heavenly spirits. ”
"Ahh Alchemy in the sand! Heart-to-heart! This is all the magic of the legendary immortals, and the head of the evil Buddha Dao is really an old immortal who has been cultivated in the mountains, and he is here to save the suffering. This little Taoist priest is all clever and foolish, and he will definitely lose now. The fishermen began to praise again.
Xuanyi was more active than the master, and asked disdainfully: "Isn't it the four levels, you are the four hundred levels, and my master is not afraid of you." Tell me in detail, how to play these four levels? ”
Lao Dao proudly explained: "In the first level, alchemy in the sand, take the ordinary sand and gravel here, and refine a piece of gold and iron, which is considered to be passed." The second level of exorcism is to drive the gods to worship, and the number of living beings in a radius of ten miles is to worship, and the number of living beings is more than 100. In the third level, cut out the heart and abdomen, take a cold blade to dig out your heart and liver, and then press it back to pass, and the immortal will pass the level. In the fourth level, the spirit of the gods is out of the body and goes back and forth for hundreds of miles, and a red flower is taken to pass the level. ”
Siguan Qi was unheard of, and the heart-cutting was even more terrifying, and the crowd immediately blew up.
Xuanyi said worriedly: "Master, I have seen you exorcise spirits, and it is not difficult to exorcise gods; I also know that you can swim in the soul and swim to the fairy world. But this alchemy and heart-splitting don't seem to be your business, and it's even more life-threatening, if you can't win, we'll give up the two levels. "Xuanyi, you still don't know the master's skills. Don't say that cutting off your heart is to cut off your head, and your master will not die. But the Taoist said. Xuan Yixi said: "Master, you can also brag, then let's compare with them!" ”
The Taoist swept away the dust and looked at the evil Buddha Dao, "Dao Chief, you have indeed learned a few things in the mountains. But what alchemy in the sand, exorcism of the gods, heart-splitting, and fugue heavenly spirits are only the surface of Taoist practice. Although the little Taoist priest has not studied, he also knows a little bit about it, and he can play with you today. ”
"Have fun? This little Taoist priest is too annoying to speak! Is it really capable of this? Inevitably, the crowd began to murmur again.
The evil Buddha Taoist was calm and unfathomable, and turned around and instructed his disciples: "Listen, this Taoist priest seems to have the ability. If I can't win him for a while, I'll delay the sacrifice to the dragon god. Therefore, if he survives to the third level, and when he cuts out his heart, you will recite the Three Witch Mantras, and ask some plague and evil miasma to take his life. If he can still live, then in the fourth level, after his soul is out of his body, you will sacrifice the soul collection banner and beat him to scatter. Although this law is vicious, it is also to save the people in this place, and remember not to miss it. At that moment, the seven disciples nodded one by one, and they had a plan in their hearts.
The old Taoist conspired with his disciples, and the three Taoists could see it clearly. Xuanyi pulled the corner of the master's clothes and whispered: "Master, look at this old way and play tricks again." After a while, if they kill you with their hands and feet, how can you resist it? "There's no need to worry. The master knows their details and has his own ability to deal with them. ”
The first level, alchemy in the sand.
In the battlefield, Lao Dao asked his disciples to bring a golden tripod with a depth and width of two feet and a three-legged round cover. When he filled the golden summit with sand, he covered it with a lid and locked it with four dragon heads. Let everyone stand farther away, and the old way began to alchemy.
The crowd pinched their waists and embraced them, standing outside the circle and staring intently, looking strange. Seeing that Lao Dao took a full breath, his head turned red again, and with a sigh, a fire dragon erupted from his mouth to burn the golden tripod. The heat was so hot that everyone retreated forty or fifty paces away. Soon, the golden tripod was burned red, and the grit inside boiled and tumbled like gold liquid.
Xuantian asked, "Master, what kind of skill is this old way practiced, how can you breathe fire in your stomach?" The Taoist replied: "This evil Buddha Dao has indeed practiced penance in the mountains for eighty years, refining a body of copper skin and iron bones. Later, he had the opportunity to swallow two Divine Beast Inner Pills, the Xuanfeng Fire Pill and the Heavenly Dragon Ice Pill. Erdan blended hot and cold, and he had this magical power. "Wow, it's convenient to keep warm in this cold winter and cool off in summer." Xuantian grinned.
Seeing the sand melt the gold liquid, the evil Buddha Dao waved his iron palm and slapped the body of the tripod, causing the tripod to fly from the rotation. Only the wind sounded on all sides, and the sand was violent. In this way, one side breathes fire, and the other side makes Jinding spin. After three or five hundred turns, the required gold and iron have been condensed on the gold liquid in Dingzhong. Lao Dao shouted, "Get up!" Bao Ding fell to the ground, stirring up dust all over the ground.
After casting the spell, Lao Dao was covered in sweat and was so tired that he stood panting. Everyone gathered around and stepped forward, seeing that the golden tripod was still red, and the faces were sweating seven or eight steps away. Lao Dao was not afraid of the heat, so he stepped forward and directly reached out to remove the hot lid.
Everyone gathered around to take a look, and the sand grains in the tripod were long gone, leaving only a golden and translucent glass-like object. And at the top of the glass, another red gold iron pill the size of a conical thumb. Lao Dao took out the gold and iron refined with his hands and showed it to everyone, and his face could not hide his pride, "Everyone, please see, this is the gold and iron refined by this ding of sand!" ”
"Good! The Taoist immortal law is invincible, alchemy in the sand, and sure enough, the Divine Dao is also! And the crowd began to prostrate and boast again.
