Chapter 10: Smelling Miles
The night in the north is cold, and it is still cold in April.
In the bedroom of the inner garden of the Horse Mansion, it was as warm as spring, and the faint incense of resibition.
In the huge Jin Ping Rosewood ivory bed, Li Zhen shivered, and slowly turned around and lay down.
The Ninth Princess snuggled up to Li Zhen for a while, and suddenly found that he had adjusted his breath evenly, and he was sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "Fell asleep so soon?"
The two maids on duty happened to come in with hot water and towels, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the master of the horse is overworked, and he has slept heavily these days." ”
"yes, I don't think I've seen the horse turn at night. ”
The ninth princess stretched out her hand and probed: "Could it be that you were sick a while ago and haven't gotten better?"
But looking at his appearance, it doesn't look like he is not getting better, but he has excellent sleep quality.
"Forget it, it's a blessing to be able to sleep. ”
The Ninth Princess didn't know that Li Zhen seemed to be sleeping on the surface, but he was actually out of his body and was working hard to cultivate immortals.
In the spirit state, according to the Taoist scriptures to guide the spiritual method of controlling one's own thoughts, there is immediately a clear feedback.
Li Zhen was overjoyed: "It really succeeded! And so fast!"
The cultivation talent in the spirit state was far beyond expectations, and he soon felt that there seemed to be gurgling water in the air, and some of his spiritual power was transformed into clouds, and then condensed and floated under his feet.
Li Zhen looked around, and there was no shadow under the light of the courtyard lamp.
This cloud was formed by the change of the nature of his own divine power, and it was also invisible and difficult for low-level monks to detect.
Li Zhen tried to control this thing, but felt that his mind was pulling, like an arm making a finger.
This is the true manipulation of the mind, if in the physical body system, the clouds and demons transformed by the aura of the five elements cannot be so unhindered because they contain external objects.
Li Zhen quickly used it to support his body to rise, and there was a sense of pleasure from above.
It's a pity that after reaching a few feet, the ground becomes dark, as if falling into a bottomless abyss, and it is difficult to see a reference.
There is some dust or air filling in the air, which is not really nothing, but it is too small to have feedback, which is probably the same as the darkness in the void of the universe.
Li Ji hurriedly lowered the height and found that it was most appropriate to stop between three and five zhang.
This height is just right for climbing over obstacles on the ground and really helps to improve mobility.
Spirits can penetrate most matter, but the thickness is too large, which will also hinder the senses, so it still needs to be avoided.
As for the speed, although it has not yet reached the point where the Yuanying master is flying away, Li Zhen tested it and found that it was as fast as running wildly, which was far better than last night's level.
Li Zhen was amazed, and couldn't help but think in his heart that if there was a kind of spiritual incense that could help Ning Yun, it would definitely be able to greatly speed up the progress of cultivating Yun Dun.
On second thought, let's try the rejuvenating incense first.
When he came to the room of Hanxiang Pavilion, the soul rejuvenation incense he had made had already been prepared on the table, and Li Zhen's mind moved slightly, and he took the fire bud branch next to him and lit a corner of it.
During this period of time, he insisted on cultivating, and successively added some divine power to the power, and he was already able to move up and down eighteen grams of matter.
This is not to say that the flying sword is a flying needle, which is soft and powerless.
But there is no problem in moving paper, fire buds, water droplets, incense powder, etc., and finally has the ability to influence external substances.
As the smoke rose in a curling air, a strange fragrance spread through the Chaotic Void.
This is the effect of the cream boiled by the sugar maple, which should have been quickly dissolved, but it was retained under the harmony of other materials, which greatly prolonged the time of effect.
Li Zhen floated out of the room and tried to sense the source, and found that it was really layered, and there were different shades according to different distances.
"Although the fragrance contained in this rejuvenating incense is lackluster, so that it is not beneficial to soul refining, but in real terms, the effect is far greater than that of believing in spiritual incense!"
"Maybe even the other great monks will be able to return to their souls with vague senses!"
Li Zhen immediately wandered around his mansion.
The Horse Mansion that Xuanxin State gave to Li Zheng was renovated from the mansion of the famous minister of the previous dynasty, and it also occupied an extra garden next to it, so the total area was not small, reaching more than 2,000 acres, that is, more than 1.3 million square meters.
Wangchengju is not easy, the horse mansion is located in the east city, which was originally a prosperous area where the dignitaries and nobles are located, and it is definitely not small to be able to occupy such a land comparable to the palace city.
This house is based on the south gate, as soon as you enter, it is an empty and flat big square, it is enough to run horses, and the flowers and plants are planted in the flower bed garden all around, and the winding path is secluded, and the corridor is divided into both sides.
Along the central avenue all the way in, there is the main hall, the middle hall, and the back hall, but the mansion is not divided into functional areas, but according to the east and west, north and south, inside and outside the eight gardens to distinguish, plus the inner garden in the center is nine areas, each with a size ranging from 100 acres to hundreds of acres.
Among them, the front courtyard of the outer south garden, the surrounding areas of the main hall are mostly used for protocol and ceremonies; the outer west garden is mostly for servants and guards; the outer north garden leads to the back street, and it is also the main passage for melons, fruits, meat and vegetables, domestic garbage and servants to enter and exit; the outer east garden is the living place of the servants' children, the children of the family and the family members; the inner four gardens are the living and leisure places of the main family.
From the overall point of view, the west side of the mansion is surrounded by mountains, the east side is near the water, rockeries, verandahs, trails, pavilions, lotus ponds, gardens, water pavilions, pavilions and pavilions are all available, and the scenery is particularly exquisite within the four gardens.
Hanxiang Pavilion is located in the inner garden, and the lotus pond and the water pavilion flower building that Li Zhen has been to before are in the inner east garden, which are the areas where he is most often active.
But at this moment, when I go to other places that are not often active, I can feel that the fragrance is still there, and a sense of safety arises spontaneously.
Li Zhen couldn't help but sigh: "At least you don't have to worry about getting lost at home." ”
The out-of-body exertional was not physically exerted, and he was still in good spirits and did not feel tired at all, so he decided to adjust his previously obviously somewhat conservative plan and go out to investigate.
"The incense burns for about an hour, but it is inferred that the smell will not be a problem until noon tomorrow. ”
"There should be more than enough time, even if there is a change, you can also detect the attenuation, but what is really worth verifying is the limit of the divergence distance. ”
He didn't know what effect the addition of other excipients would have on the divergence distance after the incense was combined, but since he had matched it according to his own skills and experience, it stands to reason that there should be no problem.
So I started to try to go straight out, constantly going into the distance.
Under his spiritual body, there was an extra cloud of magic condensed by magic, floating like a fairy, and he was really uncomfortable.
After a while, he left the mansion and continued outward.
One hour, two hours, three hours......
Li Zhen went up like a wild horse, and inadvertently, he came to the intersection of an official road with a stone monument called Wanghou Town, and suddenly woke up.
"I've seen the map, this place is two hundred miles away from the royal city in a straight line, and the fragrance is still there!"
"It seems that the scope of action of the Soul Rejuvenation Incense is far beyond what is expected, and it will not be a problem to fly another two or three hundred miles!"
"Of course, this may also be due to my extraordinary talent, I can easily recognize the scent of the void, and if I were to change to another monk, I would have to passively receive it. ”
He did a little calculation, his current average speed has reached more than seventy miles per hour, no wonder he came here.
Unfortunately, it can't be tested any further.
Although Li Zhen was very curious about where the limit would be, it was already past one o'clock in the night, and three or four hours later, it came to five o'clock, which was the hour.
Mao Shi is the time of sunrise, and only the divine soul that has reached the realm of the day tour can go out of the body at that time, otherwise there will be danger.
"Let's go back first, and then explore the limit when the speed of Yunyun increases or has the ability to travel in a day. ”
Li Zhen immediately rode the clouds and returned to his body before dawn.
"Whew, that's cool!"
"It's decided, I will work during the day and go out at night. ”
After calming down, Li Zhen began to consider whether to report the existence of this thing.
Of course, the out-of-body spirit cannot be leaked, but the soul return incense is another matter.
This is where his value as an incense master lies, and it is also a condition for improving his status and treatment.
So, the next morning, Li Zhen used the spirit talisman to contact the ancestor and inform him about the soul returning incense.
Huang Yunzhen listened patiently and sighed: "Li Zhen, you really didn't disappoint me, I need your soul rejuvenation incense now, or it can help a lot." ”
Li Zhen said: "Then, will I give you a few ingots first?"
Huang Yunzhen said: "Okay, I'll send someone to get it." ”
He also said: "According to the old rules, when the sect determines its function, it will be rewarded, but I believe that you are reassuring, since you dare to pay tribute to this thing, it will definitely have a miraculous effect, even if you fail to do it for the time being, it is only limited by the conditions." ”
"I can promise you privately first, if you have anything you want, just ask, and you can try to satisfy the worldly things. ”
Li Zhen immediately put forward the request for Gummet Maple, and also wanted some knowledge of the soul.
After a slight sigh, he said: "I want to know how the Great Cultivators perform and feel after their souls are out of their bodies, so I have made a relevant survey form, hoping that the Ancestor and the other Ancestors who have obtained the Soul Rejuvenation Incense can take the time to fill it out." ”
This did help to improve the Soul Rejuvenation Incense, but it also helped him to cultivate on his own, which could be regarded as a balance between public and private.
Huang Yunzhen said: "Studying the incense recipe is a matter of urgency, since I should support it, I have heard a little about the fragrant maple, but it is just a secular thing, and it is called Xuan Xin Guo to set up a special bureau to supply it, and someone will be responsible for this matter in the future, but seeing that you are in a hurry, simply call a disciple to cut down a tree for you to deal with it first, and those classics and materials will also be brought to you by him." ”
Li Zhen was slightly stunned: "Hasn't Senior Brother Zhu always handed over to me?"
Huang Yunzhen is humane: "He has rushed to the battlefield to experience the calamity. ”
Li Zhen said: "I see. ”
That night, he went out of the body again and traveled at night, wandering around, cultivating without mentioning it, and the next day, Li Zhen summarized the formula in the Hanxiang Pavilion.
Like the previous Xinling incense, the main materials have been written, and the detailed proportions and preparation techniques have not been concealed.
From the perspective of the immortal gate, they will not put their eggs in the same basket, and will always only let Li Zhen enjoy his secret recipe alone, so it is impossible to rely on the incense Tao to gain a foothold in the mundane and enjoy peace and wealth, and it is impossible not to hand over these things.
But what Li Zhen wrote: "Two taels of fragrant sugar and fat, one tael of white honey, half a tael of jatamansi, half a tael of black horn, three coins of borneol, one penny of musk, add cloves, agarwood, or aconite as appropriate, and grind a few ...... as appropriate."
It's not that he's deliberately hiding it, it's just that.
Li Zhen has always relied on his own talent and experience to adjust the spice compatibility in the production of spiritual incense, and the subtleties also need to be dealt with according to the actual situation.
The quality of the material, the shelf life, the modulation environment, there are too many variables.
So Fang Zi is actually not the point, his craftsmanship is.
It's probably like cooking, you always have to have a skill to make it delicious, and following the recipe is not a thing, and I've never heard of a chef just looking at the recipe.
Suddenly, Li Zhen heard someone outside exclaiming, and when he went out to take a look, he saw a figure carrying a big tree that was more than five feet long, and fell straight from the sky.
The Ninth Princess just arrived, originally with an anxious look on her face, but after seeing the faces of the people who came, she suddenly relaxed: "Senior Lu!"
The person who was called Lu Senior by the Ninth Princess was a middle-aged man, with an ebony hairpin on his head, wearing a Xuanqing robe, standing out of thin air in the courtyard, his clothes fluttering, looking like a fairy wind and bones.
He flew over, and the five-zhang tree trunk floated like a flying boat, slowly descending under Li Zhen's gaze.
Stretching out his hand, Bai Mang retracted, and saw the trunk of the tree fall and slam on the ground with a bang.
Senior Lu himself also landed on the ground, brushed his clothes, and said with a smile: "Li Zhen, but you really have you, you can actually say that the elders asked me to build a foundation to cut down trees, can you see if this is the case? Don't be mistaken, I have to toss back and forth for thousands of miles." ”
Li Zhen said: "This is Sugar Feng, yes, Senior Lu, I don't want you to come, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome." ”
He had seen this person a few years ago, and knew that the other party was Lu Zheng, a true disciple of the Tianyun Sect, in terms of identity and status, and his cultivation strength was far higher than the Nine Princesses who were in the world and Zhu Ming, who was only in the late stage of Qi refining, and he was even hundreds of years old, so he didn't expect that he would be sent to cut down a tree for himself.
Li Zhen said to the servants who rushed over after hearing the news: "What are you still doing in a daze, let's disperse, Senior Lu, let's talk in the hall." ”
Lu Zheng said: "No need, I'm still waiting to go back to my life." ”
"By the way, these are given to you by the elders. ”
He took out a jade scroll from the treasure bag around his waist and handed it to Li Zhen.
Li Zhen took it like a treasure, and his face was full of joy.
These are all valuable divine soul knowledge, and it is not easy for idle qi refining and foundation building cultivators to get into it, but they don't want to let themselves be a mortal.
Lu Zheng didn't care what it was, he only came here to complete the task, and soon left with the things that Li Zhen gave him.
Li Zhan watched him leave and nodded secretly.
I hope that this kind of rejuvenating incense can also be useful to the monks like the incense of the faith, which is not only related to their own prestige and status, but also to their future treatment.
It is always necessary for the ancestor to see tangible results, and then he will continue to support it.
