To celebrate the victory, the druids instructed Le Lin to cook a very hearty dinner, with large plates of fried eggs coated with delicious spices, large pieces of meat and special herbs that were steamed into cakes that melted in the mouth, special sweet soups made of flower petals with nectar-like scents, and large bowls of delicious chicken soup and savoury sausages.

Of course, the atmosphere was still very dreary. Only the loud sound Bob Firth made as he ate.

In this poor place, ordinary people can only eat a little meat at the end of the year, and this is still in the better years when the robbers did not patronize. In fact, some of the town's poor children haven't eaten a meal of meat since they were born!

Although Bob Firth tended sheep, those sheep were actually the property of the lord baron. The family just helped the lord graze and collected some food to survive. Lamb doesn't end up in their mouths, let alone these special spiced meats. To him, it was a heavenly delicacy, so he devoured it, refusing to stop even if his stomach was swollen and uncomfortable.

In fact, the druids also relied on the baron for food and meat, and Lelin learned from the soldiers that the old baron ordered the steward to supply the druids with enough meat, condiments, and other necessary necessities every month. Its standards are not even worse than those of the baron himself. So the druids sometimes used these things to entertain some small children. Of course, not every time you come, you can enjoy it, and this time Bob Firth was able to eat such a sumptuous meal because of the opportunity. If it were in normal times, he wouldn't have left him for dinner.

The druid ate slowly, until Bob Firth was so uncomfortable that he had to give up his gluttony and salute away, where he was still chewing slowly.

"Is your spell resistance very high?" asked Le Lin suddenly.

The druid looked at her a little puzzled and said, "Spell resistance? I don't know anything about that thing. ”

Le Lin hurriedly asked, "Why didn't that gnoll's divine power flame hurt you last time?" I saw that those flames were useless to you. If it's not spell resistance, what spell is protecting you?"

The druid slowly drank the soup and said, "Oh, that's what you said." I can't say what that ability is. Well, it's barely an elemental resistance. But it's not a spell, it's a special ability of our secret druid. ”

"Special ability?" Le Lin was overjoyed, almost screaming, "You mean this is a special ability that your body naturally has, and it is still there when you become an animal?"

The druid looked at her with some confusion and said, "Of course." Our occult druids have a secret technique that uses drugs and some special exercises to change the properties of their bodies. For example, now my body has a certain amount of damage reduction and all-elemental resistance, and these abilities are stored in any form. ”

Seeing Le Lin's look of surprise, he smiled slightly and asked, "Do you want to learn?"

Le Lin was happy in her heart, since it was the ability that she had acquired through medicine and training, then she would definitely be able to learn it as a warrior! But this druid was really disrespectful to the gods, if she learned her skills from him, would she anger the goddess Elistri? She hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. But I heard the druid say: "This ability can only be learned by our secret druids, and if you want to learn it, you must first become a secret druid." I'll wait until I think about it. ”

At night, Lelin lay on the bed and couldn't sleep, watching the cool and clear silver moonlight shine into the window, she couldn't help but recall the scene when the druid and the gnoll leader fought, when the flames of the gnoll flew to the druid like a locust in the sky, she was shocked into a cold sweat, you must know that the divine power flame cannot be extinguished by ordinary methods, and the druid cannot cast spells when he is in a state of transformation, it stands to reason that this flame should cause damage to YanzhΓ²ng. Who knew that the flames of divine power rushed up, but it was like boiling oil poured onto the steel plate, and there was no response. How could this be without great spell resistance? Today's dinner time the druid himself mentioned the ability to "reduce damage", which made her excited. As a martial artist, if one day she has both strong spell resistance and good damage reduction ability, it will really be like a tiger with wings and invincible! Not to mention Fimulica's priest, even some high-level mages, she is not afraid! If she can teach these methods to all the drow elves who believe in Elistra, then wouldn't Fimulica's wish to overthrow the spider god be just around the corner?! Although the druid's attitude towards the gods is unbearable, it is worth it to stay with him if he can learn that skill.

"O merciful goddess Elistro," she prayed silently, "I have learned from him in order to obey your will and overthrow the reign of the evil gods, please forgive me for my impulses." Please bless me with a speedy completion of my studies, when I will resolutely leave here and follow in your footsteps with the rest of my life. ”

In this way, she stared at the bright and moving moonlight, and did not close her eyes for a long time.

The druid, dressed in a dark blue knee-length robe, paced his room in contemplation.

"I was originally born on the earth, and I was a general in the early Ming Dynasty. It can also be regarded as a slight immortal fate, so I met a scattered immortal, accepted him as a disciple, and was awarded the Dao name 'Donghezi', and awarded the Nine Turns Xuangong. It is a pity that the exercises have been passed on to the master's generation, and only a vague program remains, and no one knows how to understand many of the key points. It is hopeless to go straight to the fairyland with this, but it is also feasible to seek immortality and die. After the master was dismissed for some reason, my Nine Turns Xuangong was also slightly successful, and I had a lifespan of 500 years, but I still inevitably died after 500 years. For this reason, I had to find the immortal scripture again. After a lot of hardships, I finally found a "Secret Demon Treasure Record" of the Demon Sect in the Wanli period, which contained 32 kinds of secret magic techniques, mainly Xuan Zhu Zhu, mixed with other small magic. Then he went to the desert island of the sea to concentrate on cultivation, and practiced the Xuanzhu and other twenty-four secret magic techniques in the pseudo-Qing Daoguang years. After practicing, his understanding of the Nine Turns Xuangong improved again, so he practiced again. However, although there has been a slight improvement, it is still far from the realm of ascending immortals. ”

Looking back on the past, Dong Hezi secretly smiled bitterly: "At that time, I couldn't make progress, and the mountains and rivers changed drastically, so I had to play the world with nothing to do." coincided with some anti-Qing righteous people among the people, so they sold medicine and medical soldiers for them. Therefore, I got to know some martial arts practitioners, learned some martial arts to pass the time, and hoped to find another way to ascend to immortality in martial arts. It's a pity that I spent decades of energy, but in the end, I found that although martial arts and immortal skills have similarities, and can even promote each other at a certain stage, they are different in the end, and they are embarrassing. Later, he traveled again in the hope of having adventures. It wasn't until the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded Beijing that they accidentally found a book of calligraphy and paintings mixed with ancient cultivation techniques, including "Taixuan Seven Senses Zichen Lei Sheng**". Under great joy, he dived into the ocean again and practiced penance. However, the fairy fate is shallow, and the time spent on it is empty, but it is harvested to talk. ”

"At this time, the times have changed greatly, and it can be said that things are not people. Thinking back to the ambition of cultivating the Tao and becoming immortal hundreds of years ago, I can't help but feel the vicissitudes of life and the feeling of making people happy. Disheartened, he turned into a layman and wandered into the world. After another forty or fifty years, I suddenly found on the Internet that there was a constant flash of lightning somewhere in Venezuela in South America, even day and night. It is located at the mouth of the Katatumbo River in Maracaibo Bay, Venezuela, where cloud-to-cloud lightning forms a very large voltage arc at an altitude of 5 kilometers and can last for about 10 hours per night for 140-160 nights a year. The storm occurred in a swampy area where the Katatumbo River flows into Maracaibo Bay, where organic matter breaks down to produce methane gas. Because methane gas is lighter than air, it can rise to the clouds and provide "fuel" for storms, so it endures. It is also known as the region on Earth that produces the most ozone with an estimated 1,176,000 discharges per year, which can still be clearly seen from 400 kilometers away. Locals call it the "Maracaibo Lighthouse" because the lightning in the sky is hard to extinguish all day long, and passing ships use it as a natural lighthouse. ”

He sighed secretly: "At that time, I thought I was smart, thinking that I could use this strange place to practice "Taixuan Seven Senses Zichen Lei Sheng**". As everyone knows, vainly seeking the power of external objects and ignoring their own physical actions, they deviate from the essence of this immortal scripture. Finally, when he was groping, the calamity fire suddenly ignited from the spring point at the bottom of his feet, and there was a calamity wind from the jade pillow point behind his head. In desperation, I only tried to turn away from the flesh with the help of the Thirty-two Secret Demon Techniques, and only escaped with a wisp of Yuan Shen with Xuan Zhu Zhu. It's a pity that the providence made people, and when the body was gone, there was a sudden change, and somehow, Xuan Zhu came to this world with the original god, and at that time he only felt a close breath of traction, and as a result, he threw himself into a druid who had just died. ”

Dong Hezi smiled bitterly a few times: "At first, I was glad that 'came back from the dead'." But then it was discovered that for some reason, Xuan Zhu could not leave this body, and the primordial god was trapped in this body. However, this body is over forty years old, and according to its natal power, it can live for another thirty years at most. If you don't cultivate a half-immortal body within thirty years, then you will definitely die! ”

"Originally, I could have relied on this body to re-cultivate the Nine Transformations Xuangong, and as long as I recovered to the original level, I could prolong my life until I was five hundred years old. But the roof leak happened to be rainy. Cultivating the Nine Transformations Xuangong requires the assistance of pills, otherwise it is difficult to cultivate. But the plants in this world are completely different from the earth! There are many herbs, and if you only rely on a wisp of Yuan Shen's true power to transform your body, I am afraid that a single Jiazi may not be able to recover! Not to mention that this body will not live for 60 years at all! And the Xuan Zhu is somehow unable to leave the body, but even unable to do it. It was as if it was asleep, and there was no response. It's really a dragon diving and a tiger falling in Pingyang. ”

"I thought it was bad enough, but there were even more unlucky ones. Somehow this world can't condense Gangsha! It is necessary to know the traces of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and most of the magic weapons refined by the alchemists, such as flying swords and fine thunder, are condensed by Gangsha, or they need the help of Gangsha to be refined. Now, when the method is condensed and practiced, it is only as if using a bamboo basket to draw water and a porcelain bowl to scoop the wind, and only a little mana fluctuation is flickering and disappearing, but it is impossible to condense and gather the form. In this way, there is no magic weapon to protect against calamity, and the dragon is scaled and the tiger is pulled out. ”

He walked to the window, watched the bright full moon in the sky illuminate the sky into a light bright blue, and thought to himself, "Fortunately, the method of change in this world is easier to carry out." It is easier to practice those long-lost runes and runes. This is the polar opposite of the universe on Earth. There, if you want to practice runes into seals and seals, you need a lot of talent and Taoism. Because the magic is too high, it is difficult for ordinary practitioners to apply it, so the Gangsha method appeared to replace the sigils and seals. When I first practiced, no one practiced the ancient seals and seals. Everyone either changed to the Gangsha method, which was easier to get started, or they were opportunistic and used the talisman seal to borrow the power of the heavenly immortals and gods, and wasted the original use of the talisman seal. ”

"Although I don't practice talismans deeply, I still know a lot about the essence of it. In addition, when using talismans to invoke the power of this world, the sense is quite clear. Therefore, I discovered some key points of refining talismans, and I was able to make a seal of alchemy talisman without a teacher, and made the spell of 'disarming magic' into a 'scattered demon seal'. This is unimaginable in the universe of Earth!"

Thinking of this, Dong Hezi felt a little comforted in his heart, looked at the town at the foot of the mountain full of clear moonlight, and secretly said in his heart: "With this progress, there is some hope for the restoration of the immortal method." Later, when he came to this remote town, he could avoid all kinds of powerhouses of all races in this world, second, he could find a pure place to borrow the power of talismans to strengthen his body, and thirdly, he found that many herbs grew here, which could be used to refine some low-grade pills, which slightly promoted the re-practice of the Nine Turns Xuangong. ”

"This Le Lin is also related to me, at that time, there were a few herbs whose medicinal properties could not be determined, and I did not dare to test the medicine myself, and there was no one in the town who could test the medicine. It happened to happen that her body was mutilated, which could be used to test the properties of the drug. In the end, the medicinal properties of these medicines that I mastered, and after practicing the pills and taking them, I did make some progress, not only the body was tough, the sword and gun were difficult to hurt, but also increased my life for 20 years. ”

He turned around and paced again, thinking to himself: "It stands to reason that it is okay to teach her some Taoist techniques. But she indulged in the theory of ghosts and gods, and after several temptations, I found that her habits were difficult to change, and her fairy fate was weak. If teaching her too much Taoism is not good for her, she may not be able to learn it. As for Bob Feather, he was still a little kid. The heart is undecided, and it is difficult to say whether it is suitable for him to be a disciple. It doesn't hurt to teach him some common druid spells or some basic alchemy. Besides, the Nine Turns Xuangong is just one of my descendants, and the strong people in this world are like clouds, and the strange people are like rain, if I encounter an accident one day, the Taoist art will also be destroyed with me. The Nine Turns of Xuangong are extinguished in my hands, so isn't it right to live in the Rank Patriarch? Only some basic alchemy and Taoism are taught. ”

Two days later, Dong Hezi summoned Le Lin and Bob Feth to the second floor of the stone castle, and set up ten wooden signs on a table, all of which were written in Chinese characters, which had never existed in this world.

Dong Hezi asked the two of them to kneel down in front of the tablet and said to them, "Since you want to be my students, then I will accept it." But I said before I said that there are three types of students of our occult druids, in your words, one is called layman students, one is called named students, and one is called true transmission students. I can only accept you as ordinary students now, and this kind of student is not a real student, but similar to an auditor. I can only impart some basic knowledge to you, and it is up to you how much you can learn. When you're solid and fit to be a mystical druid, I'll be able to take you as a registered student. I was really a real student of mine at that time. Would you like to?"

Lelin and Bob Feth, who were kneeling on the ground, looked at each other helplessly, and had to agree together.

Dong Hezi nodded and said: "Don't be disappointed, ordinary students can't teach too profound secret arts, this is not deliberately hidden, but your ability and mind have not yet reached the point of practicing higher secret arts, and rashly teaching will lead you astray." Actually, it's for your own good. In addition, our mystical druids have a large number of basic things, but when we practice to a high level, we can only refine a few categories. Because the categories are so broad, most people don't have the time and energy to learn them all, and even I only studied a few subjects. If you are well-informed and knowledgeable, then even the basics will be useful for a lifetime. ”

Seeing that their faces eased slightly, he pointed to a wooden sign in the middle of the table and said, "Since you have come to the school of secret druids, you must first know the history of our school. He cleared his throat and solemnly introduced: "Our school is actually very large, and there are many small schools in it, although I have learned the secret art of three small schools, only the first school has a formal teacher-student relationship. The other two were explored by themselves according to the scriptures, so I will not mention them here. You just need to know that the founder of the school I have taught is called 'Yu Yuan', and this school mainly modifies the body, so that the body is immune to all kinds of injuries and adverse effects. After Yu Yuan passed away for some reason, there was 'Yu Su' who passed on the relevant secret techniques. Then it was passed down for ten generations, and it was already eleven generations in my area. ”

Le Lin thought to herself: "It's only eleven generations, I thought he was a genre that existed from ancient times, and it turned out that its history was less than a thousand years. Immediately, there was a sense of contempt. You need to know that in this world, not to mention the history of some ancient gods for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, even some powerful creatures, such as dragons, as long as there are no accidents in their lives, it is not a problem to live for one or two thousand years. She mistakenly calculated the "generation" in Dong Hezi's mouth according to the life span of ordinary people, so she thought that it was only a thousand years old. Compared to those extraordinary things, this druid school with a history of less than a thousand years and no reputation is really worth mentioning. As for what he said about "a wide range of categories", it is estimated that he is just boasting, no matter how extensive he is, can he pass through countless arcane systems in a wide range of categories? If he doesn't want to learn some of his skills, Le Lin is afraid that he will slip away again.

Dong Hezi continued to point to the tablets on the table and introduced the heirs of each generation one by one, and asked them to kowtow according to the rules of the Earth Immortal Family. Then he took out a book and said to the two: "This book records the basic knowledge of our secret druids, and I only have one here, so you can learn together." Bob Firth, you come to me every evening to finish your meal, and then I'll teach you both for two hours, and the rest of the time you think and practice on your own. ”

Bob Firth was secretly happy that he could come here every day to enjoy heavenly food!

And Le Lin took the book and saw that it had a rather strange title written in lingua franca - "One Core and Five Faces Sutra"

There is also a line of text below that they have never seen - "Five Elements and One Yuan Sutra"
