Chapter 45: For the Ideal
The largest pharmacy in the town below the mountain is Liu Ji, Tulip and Turmeric are two rare medicines, which happen to be available in the shop, but the price is very expensive. Gu Zuo used a spirit stone to offset the price of the medicine, and exchanged another spirit stone for the usual money, and hurried to Runyufang.
The old bustard of this Qinglou is very dedicated and not very interested in this kind of elegant thing, Gu Zuo was despised so much that he had no temper, so he had to endure the pain and pay the usual money for the pharmacy just now, which made the old bustard reluctantly agree.
After finishing it, Gu Zuo brought some cooked food and braved the rain to go up the mountain again.
In the shack, Senior Sister Shen's slender ten fingers alternated, and the two herbs brought back by Gu Zuo were quickly processed, divided into ten parts in proportion, and put them into the small Dan furnace taken out of the storage bracelet.
At the bottom of the Dan furnace were six spirit stones, which were triggered by the furnace's mechanism, and the flames rose, burning the inside of the furnace to a red color.
Ten parts of the herb are flipped and moved in the furnace, slowly melting, and gradually taking shape.
This is the first time Gu Zuo has seen the monk's alchemy, and while he is envious, he is also cool and cool in his heart.
Using spirit stones as fire, such a luxurious alchemy technique is really shocking and speechless.
After such a day, the six spirit stones burned out, and three reddish pills were suspended in the Dan furnace.
Ten materials, three pills, Senior Sister Shen looked happy: "Although I am sick, it seems that the method of alchemy has been even more enhanced." ”
"Senior sister, what kind of elixir is this?"
Senior Sister Shen leaned her neck and took the next one, closed her eyes and breathed for a moment, then took the remaining two in the palm of her hand and swirled them around, then put them into the storage bracelet, and said to Gu Zuo: "Where do you dare to call it a spirit pill? It's just an elixir, and the spirit pill is not so easy to refine." ”
"It's not an ordinary pill, is it?"
"The effect of the elixir refined by the method of alchemy is almost 20% that of the elixir, and it is mainly symptomatic to my injury. I wanted to spit out two sentences of the herbs that Gu Zuo smeared for her, but I didn't mention it kindly.
Seeing Gu Zuo's curiosity, Senior Sister Shen asked, "Your master didn't pass down the alchemy method?"
Gu Zuo sighed: "The previous pavilion master went to southern Xinjiang, I heard that there are many auspicious and unlucky, and there are no many cultivation methods, and now in the Huaixian Pavilion, only my own family is trying to support ......"
So he briefly said the matter of Wang Daochang, he said this experience I don't know how many times, although the whole story is simple, but it is full of a faint sadness, which can win people's sympathy, especially the part where the fish is sold, Gu Zuo also told it with great interest, and took out the horn knife, and seemed to teach Senior Sister Shen how to cut fish, Senior Sister Shen heard a sour feeling in her heart at that time.
With a slight sigh, she took out a copy of the "Miao Su Dan Sutra" and asked Gu Zuo to transcribe it. This is equivalent to teaching the method of alchemy, which not only has the feeling of pity for Gu Zuo, but also has the meaning of repaying Gu Zuozhi's kindness.
The poor man Gu Zuo was not hypocritical, and hurriedly took out the paper, pen and ink from the back basket and copied it in this shack.
Senior Sister Shen sat next to her, Gu Zuo copied a sentence, she explained, and Gu Zuo even wrote down the original sentence of her explanation. A thin copy of the "Miao Su Dan Sutra" was copied into a thick copy, more than three times thicker than the original, and after the paper carried in Gu Zuo's back basket was exhausted, Senior Sister Shen took out some more from the storage bracelet to meet the needs of the transcription.
This "Miao Su Dan Sutra" is the secret method of alchemy of the Kuocang School, there is only one method and one process, but it can be refined as the elixir known to seventy or eighty percent today, which can be said to be the best interpretation of "the road to simplicity", and it is a brilliant abnormality, living up to the name of the twelve major sects in the world.
Each sect has a distinction between inside and outside, no matter which sect it is, alchemy, alchemy, spirit planting, etc., are all secrets that are not passed down in the inner door.
It can be said that there is such a book of "Miao Su Dan Sutra", with the annotations of Senior Sister Shen, Huaixian Pavilion now has one exercise, four Taoist techniques, "Search for Soul Jue" and chasing techniques, finger knife techniques, Dan Fu and alchemy, and Gu Zuo's risky rescue is completely worth it, not just a spirit stone can be estimated.
Senior Sister Shen waited for him to finish transcribing, and solemnly advised: "Practice the exercises first, and then practice the Danshu, don't make a mistake in the order...... This is my secret, and it should not be easily divulged. ”
Gu Zuo also solemnly agreed: "Thank you, senior sister, Gu Zuo remembered." ”
Taking out the food bought in the town and letting Senior Sister Shen have a full meal, Gu Zuo told about his journey to Runyufang, and asked: "I made an appointment with the old bustard in the workshop, and I will go again the day after tomorrow, if someone joins the second half of the poem, what should I do? What sentence is correct?"
"Nothing is the right sentence, and if we have enough luck, someone will come to you. ”
"What if no one comes to me?"
"There will be. ”
Gu Zuo thought for a moment and asked, "If someone comes to me, who will it be?"
Senior Sister Shen was in a trance, and forgot to answer Gu Zuo's question.
The spring rain that lasted for two days finally stopped, and clouds of mist rose from the mountains and forests and trees, and these mist rose into the air and converged into a jade belt like life, swimming up and down the mountainside and the mountaintop, which was extremely agile.
Senior Sister Shen looked at all this, she didn't know what she remembered, she was stunned, and suddenly asked for a long time: "Gu Zuo, do you know how I found you?"
Gu Zuo replied: "The flying ticket that Liu Xuanji gave me?"
Senior Sister Shen muttered: "Tongda Qianzhuang, ninety-nine ......"
Gu Zuo nodded: "Sure enough, whose contact code is it?"
Senior Sister Shen said slowly: "Three years, three whole years, I was detained by my grandfather in the mountains for three years, and I spent my time in a room that was five feet long and nine feet wide. Walking vertically is thirteen and a half steps, and walking horizontally is eight steps, except for the statue of Su Zu of the Cangkai faction, there is nothing. For three years, I walked around this room......"
Speaking of this, he took a deep breath, calmed down for a while, and said, "It wasn't until last month that my grandfather released me, but he still ordered me not to go down the mountain for half a step. If you can't escape this time, you may not be able to escape death when you return to the mountain. ”
Gu Zuo blinked his eyes and didn't know what to say, and comforted: "No, after all, it's a granddaughter." ”
Senior Sister Shen said sadly: "If he really remembers the love of his ancestors and grandchildren, how can he imprison me for three years?
Gu Zuo was silent for a long time, and then changed the subject: "Why is ......this? How much enmity can there be between grandparents and grandchildren?"
Senior Sister Shen said: "He wants to marry me to the Chicheng faction, and I swear to die, so that's it." ”
The Chicheng faction and the Kucang faction are among the twelve authentic sects in the world, and the momentum is still on them in the past hundred years, Gu Zuo understood when he heard it, this is a grudge from a wealthy family.
The more Gu Zuo looked at Senior Sister Shen, the more she felt good, Senior Sister Shen had a lot of advantages, such as good looks - her eyes were watery and she could speak, and her figure was also comfortable, okay, these are too superficial, say something connotative.
Senior Sister Shen's cultivation is very high-I don't know how much higher than herself, and her character is not bad-when she says that she will give exercises, she will give exercises, and the key is that there are enough spirit stones-I don't know how many are hidden in the storage bracelet......
As for age, although it is not convenient to ask, it may only be three years older than oneself, as the saying goes, "a female junior, hug the gold brick", isn't this very good?
But this kind of grievance of a wealthy family is not something that Gu Zuo can mix, and he is a small Huaixian Pavilion lone seedling, and he can't bear the anger of the Kuocang faction at all, and maybe he will have to add the backlash of the Chicheng faction.
Pity...... For the sake of the Huaixian Pavilion, for the inheritance of the sect, and for the lofty ideal of cultivation, Gu Zuo could only reluctantly give up this relationship, thinking of this, he suddenly had a trace of tragedy.
Hate stamped his feet and got up, Gu Zuo picked up the hat and put it on his head, and walked down the mountain without looking back.
Senior Sister Shen asked behind her, "Where are you going?"
Gu Zuo's heart was sour: "I'll go to Runyufang to find the old bustard." ”
