Chapter Seventy-Four: You Bing Daoist

"I've seen fellow Daoists. ”

Xu Dao manipulated the grasshopper, made a muffled sound, and revealed a human face in the swarm, nodding at Shen Mu.

Shen Mu stood at the gate of the White Bone View camp, he looked at the impressive swarm of mayflies in front of him, and his eyes showed a look of surprise.

Shen Mu glanced at Xu Dao and said secretly in his heart: "This person's Gu worm and demeanor seem to be somewhat similar to the Taoist priests of the Shezhao tribe, could it be that he is still an important figure in Shezhao?"

Shen Mu remembered that when everyone entered the Black Mountain, the Taoist priest dragged the boat with Gu worms.

He muttered, but the smile on his face was a little bigger, and he hurriedly beckoned Xu Dao into the camp.

Seeing that the other party was treated so warmly, Xu Dao also smiled secretly in his heart, but he finally held back his expression, and just returned: "Thank you Shen Mu Daoyou." ”

Duan Yuan and Gao Ning on the side saw it, and they were all relieved in their hearts. The two hurriedly snorted at Shen Mu again, and exclaimed, "I've seen Shen Mu's disciple." ”

After a brief greeting, the group stepped over the stone wall and entered the camp of the White Bone Temple.

The camp is a small hill, Xu Dao drove the insect swarm inside, and still felt that the inside was extremely wide, and at the same time, the concentration of spiritual energy was faintly higher than that of the outside world, which should be due to the interception of the formations around the camp.

Halfway up the hill, he saw several large tents, and a number of small tents scattered around, each occupying a very good place on the top of the hill.

However, there were few people in the camp, and only a dozen or so people walked around.

Xu Dao looked at the appearance of the White Bone View camp and secretly dispatched grasshoppers to spread them in the camp to prevent traps in the camp.

Shen Mu suddenly said to Xu Dao: "The White Gu Daoist is one step late, a few days ago, the Daoist friends of your department and Benguan fought together against the Yaksha Gate, and the results were fruitful...... Later, they pursued the victory and pursued them to the depths of Montenegro. ”

"Now that all the people in the camp have left, and no one remains, otherwise Daoist friends can have a good gathering with the people of your department. ”

Shen Mu spoke, and his face seemed to pity that Xu Dao was late.

But Xu Dao listened to what the other party said, but his heart was at ease.

He came here with a fake identity, and even his name was taken at will, since there was no monk in the camp of the White Bone Temple, it naturally reduced the possibility of him being exposed.

In other words, although Xu Dao didn't want to think about plotting against him, in this black mountain, he still felt that it was better to keep a hand and hide his identity more.

And I don't know why, Shen Mu's enthusiastic attitude also made him suspect that the other party was secretly evil.

But since the other party flattered him so much, Xu Dao accepted it unceremoniously.

At Xu Dao's request, Shen Mu personally took him around the camp.

This made Xu Dao find that this place was arranged according to the layout of the five courtyards in Guanzhong, and the number of people in the camp was scarce, and it was estimated that there were less than a hundred.

At the same time, the cultivation of the Daoists who came and went was also like Gao Ning and Duan Yuan, which belonged to the early stage of qi refining, and there were few of them who even had incarnations outside the body.

They were all walking outside with their bodies, and it seemed that Xu Dao, who controlled the Gu worms, was quite weird.

Xu Dao thought that the main forces of the White Bone Temple had already left, and he suddenly judged in his heart: "Now the rest of the camp should be some old, weak, sick and disabled, no wonder they are so cautious about outsiders." ”

Along the way, except for Shen Mu, Xu Dao only saw two Daoists in the middle stage of Qi refining, and the other party had something to do, not like Shen Mu who managed the chores in the camp, the two just met Xu Dao in a hurry and said hello.

During this time, Xu Dao secretly paid attention to the Taoist disciples he saw, wanting to see if he could find familiar faces.

As a result, he really found several, including Wang and Liu of the Fu Academy, but he didn't find what he wanted to find the most.

It was not good to ask Shen Mu directly, Xu Dao thought that since he had already come to the White Bone Temple camp, if You Bing was here, he would naturally be able to see it.

So he put aside this idea for the time being, and instead wanted to ask about the positive spirit object, so he said to Shen Mu: "Is there a place for trading in your temple?"

When Shen Mu heard this, he said, "A few days ago, when there were many people in the camp, a market was specially opened for everyone to exchange ideas. But now the staff is scarce, and the manpower is too busy, so it has not been opened again. ”

Shen Mu pondered for a while, and replied: "Now everyone is exchanging one or two privately, if you have something in need, you can tell me directly, and the poor Dao will let people inquire." ”

Hearing Shen Mu's words, Xu Dao immediately thought about it and asked the other party to find a positive spiritual object.

But as soon as the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them back into his heart.

At the moment, his identity is still a monk of the Shezhao Department, and Shen Mu doesn't know him.

But if his identity was revealed, Shen Mu knew that he was looking for a positive spiritual object, and after a little judgment, he might guess that Xu Dao had just broken through to the middle stage of qi refining.

After all, when the two had a dispute in the Fu Courtyard that day, this person knew about Xu Dao's cultivation, and also knew that Xu Dao was punished for guarding the Wind Cave for three years.

In this way, Xu Dao's shortcomings will be exposed in front of this person.

It has just entered the middle stage of qi refining, and its soul is pure yin, and the yin god is like a Taoist disciple in the early stage of qi refining, afraid of spells such as thunder and fire, and is easy to be restrained.

Thinking about it secretly, Xu Dao suppressed his thoughts, and said: "Shen Mu Daoyou is polite, since this is the case, there are still people in the camp who are good at refining pills, and a certain family has something to entrust." ”

In the swarm of mayflies, the mayflies surrounding the marrow granulations spread out and appeared in front of the two of them.

Noticing this thing, Shen Mu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he obviously recognized this elixir.

This person hurriedly smiled and said, "Dao friendly luck, there are also such soul-nourishing spiritual creatures. ”

At this time, Yuan and Gao Ning have already retreated, and only Shen Mu still brings someone to accompany Xu Dao, otherwise the two of them will be depressed in their hearts.

"The disciples of Guanzhong Dan Courtyard are still there, and there are a few people who are proficient, and the poor Dao will wait for the Taoist friends to pass. ”

After saying that, Shen Mu stretched out his hand again, walked briskly in front of him, and led Xu Dao to a camp tent more than ten zhang on the top of the mountain.

As soon as the tent was opened, a hot air rushed to the camp in the camp, which made Xu Dao, who was hiding in the grasshopper, feel a great feeling of heat.

In the huge camp tent, at the beginning of the top, there is a large metal tripod standing in it, arranged according to the defense of the five elements of the eight trigrams, the copper tripod has a cover, and there are firewood-like bones piled up next to it.

Among them, the surface of the seven-sided copper tripod is dull and gray, and it is not used. And the rest of the side is a flame underneath, using white bones as firewood, crackling and burning.

There were six Taoists who stayed in the tent, either pounding medicine, meditating, or watching the fire burn. Xu Dao and Shen Mu walked in from the outside, and immediately attracted the attention of the Taoists in the camp.

"Bai Gu Daoist, this is the place where the camp temporarily refines the elixir. ”

Shen Mu said, he looked at the Taoist in the tent, pointed to a Taoist sitting in front of the fire bronze tripod, and said: "At this time, Luo Yan Daoist has been immersed in alchemy for almost ten years, and Daoist friends can find him to refine pills. ”

The man was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, as if he were paying attention to the heat in the furnace, and when she heard the words, she immediately opened her eyes and looked at the two of them.

When he saw a cloud of strange insects flying into the camp, this person's eyes were slightly sluggish, and he reacted a little before he came back to his senses. His brow furrowed directly, and his eyes showed disgust, probably disgusted with snakes and insects.

However, when she saw Shen Mu, she still reluctantly nodded, and then turned her head back to herself, pretending to take care of the fire in Dingzhong.

Shen Mu stepped forward and directly introduced Xu Dao: "Daoist Luo Yan, at this time, the White Bone Daoist of the Shezhao Department, there is an elixir for you to refine." ”

The female Daoist's face was a little impatient, and she said: "Poor Daoist is still refining a pill, and he can't spare his hand for the time being, so Shen Mu Daoist still asked him to ask for another master." ”

Hearing the female Taoist disciple's reply, Shen Mu was a little stunned, he paused, and reminded: "What the White Bone Daoist has brought is a precious spiritual object. ”

When the female Taoist heard this, she opened her eyes, she glanced at the thing that the grasshopper was holding, and blurted out: "Spiritual Tai Sui!"

"It's still one foot seven in length and width!"

This person obviously recognized the thing in Xu Dao's hand, her eyes were hot, and she finally got up from the ground, walked to Xu Dao, and carefully studied the spiritual object.

After a little judgment, the female Taoist confirmed that the spiritual object in Xu Dao's hand was the yin marrow granulation, and she opened her mouth and said: "This thing can be refined into two kinds of pills, the Soul Nourishing Pill and the Shengzhi Pill, the latter is difficult to find, and I have the medicinal materials of the former, so I simply refined the former for Daoyou." ”

Hearing the conversation between the female Taoist disciple and Shen Mu, the other idle alchemy Taoist disciples in the camp raised their faces one after another and looked at each other.

Xu Dao casually glanced at these people a few times, and his heart flickered.

"In that case, then there is a Rao Luo Yan disciple. Shen Mu scolded the female Taoist, and the other party had surprise in his eyes, and replied: "The refining method of this thing is not difficult, you can do it overnight, and you will come back tomorrow to get the medicine." ”

Daoists who make alchemy for others often receive some medicinal materials or refined elixirs as compensation.

The minimum is also thirty percent, and the black-hearted will even lie that the medicine refining has failed, and directly cheat others of their money.

And the marrow granulation in Xu Dao's hand can increase the cultivation of Daoists, and it is worth nearly a thousand Fu money, and female Daoists can obviously take the opportunity to make a fortune.

As soon as she stretched out her hand, she said to Xu, "This fellow Daoist, give me the medicinal materials." ”

But at this time, Xu Dao suddenly asked: "Shen Mu Daoist, how many Daoists in the tent can do alchemy?"

Hearing this, Shen Mu was slightly stunned, he looked at the other five Daoists, and nodded: "Exactly." ”

The small strand of mayflies that had entered the tent tumbled, scattered, and suddenly landed in front of a man.

The grasshopper formed a figure and waved at the other party: "Dare to ask this fellow Daoist, can you refine the pill for a certain family?"

When the other party heard this, his face immediately showed surprise.

This person is also a female Taoist disciple, she is sitting under an unfired bronze dome, is flipping through a Dan book, just now when Shen Mu was talking to someone, she only glanced up, and then lowered her head and continued to read the Dan book in her hand.

The female crown was dressed in a black robe, her neck was fair, she looked at Xu Dao, her face remained unchanged, and she seemed to be born with a little coldness.

This person is Xu Dao's former roommate, You Bing.

You Bing looked at the things in Xu Dao's hand, she didn't recognize Xu Daolai, she just nodded and said, "Yes, this thing can refine the soul cultivation pill, it takes three or four hours, and it can be completed tonight." ”

When Xu Dao heard it, he just said, "Good." Then he put the marrow granula in his hand in front of the other party and made a repetition.

The female Taoist on the side saw that she was still in a stupor, but when she reacted, her thin lips immediately pursed, and her face showed anger.

She chuckled lightly, and said in a strange manner: "Dao friendly eyesight, I actually found a half-hung alchemy, and I am not afraid of the waste of medicinal materials." ”

Seeing this, Shen Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't make a sound, just stood.

Hearing the words of the female Taoist, the grasshopper swarm squirmed for a while, swayed suddenly, and a distance of a few feet came in an instant, pounced in front of the other party.

The insect swarm condensed their faces and stared at each other: "Boom! Are you teaching a certain family to do things?"

A spiritual pressure was released from the grasshopper group, half hidden and half visible, but it was definitely not something that could be found in the early stage of qi refining, and it suddenly made the female Taoist's face slightly pale.

Seeing that Xu Dao's cultivation was higher than herself, the female Taoist disciple suddenly knew that she couldn't afford to offend, so she hurriedly closed her mouth and didn't dare to say another word.

It's just that she was still resentful in her heart, glancing at You Bing, who had robbed her business, and her eyes suddenly showed jealousy.

At this time, Shen Mu stood up and played a round and said, "Daoist friends, do you want to explain the matter of alchemy again?" If not, now take Daoyou to find a place to rest and settle." ”

Hearing the words, Xu Dao withdrew his suppression of the female Taoist disciple and replied, "Yes." ”

He didn't fly to You Bing's side to explain anything, but just made a joke from a distance, and replied, "There is Lao Daoyou." ”

You Bing was still sitting cross-legged, seeing the scene on the field, his expression did not change. She heard Xu Dao's words, and just nodded.

Subsequently, Xu Dao and Shen Mu left the Danyuan camp together.

A few steps out of the tent, Shen Mu had a smile on his face and said, "Dao friendly eyesight, the female crown of Shicai, and her appearance are also well-known in the Dan Courtyard." ”

He paused, and then said, "But this woman is not good, it is not a elixir to be close." ”

Shen Mu obviously thought that Xu Dao had taken a fancy to You Bing, and he was deliberately currying favor with You Bing.

When Xu Dao heard it, he asked casually, "Is there a saying?"

Shen Mu chuckled: "This woman is cold and arrogant, not close to people, and even has few friends. ”

"His reputation during the Dao Tong period was quite poor, and after he became a Taoist, many people in the view wanted to kiss Fang Ze, but later found out that the wind comment was purely a rumor, and perhaps it was the woman's self-defilement......

In the end, Shen Mu sighed and said: "I heard that there may be a Taoist friend who has successfully approached, but I don't know who this person is, it's really enviable!"

Listening to Shen Mu's words, Xu Dao knocked on the side again, and suddenly learned something about You Bing from the other party.

The two chatted as they walked to the top of the hill, where there was no tent, but a stone house.

And close to the stone house, Xu Dao immediately sensed that the aura here was far more abundant than that under the mountainside.

I only heard Shen Mu point to the stone house and said, "This place is close to the spiritual vein, and it is a high-grade house in the mountain, so I barely want to rest here." ”

Xu Dao entered the stone house and took a look, and found that there was actually a formation in the stone house, and the aura was even stronger, and it was already the same as the high-grade quiet room in the White Bone Mountain.

When he came to the White Bone View camp and met Shen Mu, Xu Dao really enjoyed the treatment of a distinguished guest.

After greeting the other party, he unceremoniously occupied the room.
