Chapter 131: First Refining Sword Pill
The next morning, the breeze was blowing, in the west of Luoyang City, eighteen miles away from Zhouwang Mountain, on a steep peak in the mountain, there was an elegant house. The house occupies an area of about four zhang square, sits in the north and faces south, and there is a small window on the west side, and a statue of a god is placed on the window.
The god is like a human face, with a snake in the left ear, a tiger's claw, a horse, and two dragons. If ordinary people see it, they may not recognize the name of this god? This statue is the autumn god of harvest, and the harvest is also the god of gold.
The house is divided into three rooms, the east one is used for medicinal herbs, the middle is used for receiving guests, and the west room is the practice room. At this time, Li Qingxuan was meditating cross-legged in the practice room, closing his eyes and practicing qi. After a while, Li Qingxuan suddenly opened his eyes and gently exhaled a breath of white air, he stood up, only feeling energetic!
Before he retreated, he went to Pei's Mansion and Liu's Mansion to inform him a little. Later, he went to visit the Nine Girls, but he never saw the good girl with a cold temperament but was actually enthusiastic. Then he asked Hao Mingdong to bring a message to the nine girls, and then returned to the mountain house.
This morning, the people of Pei Mansion have escorted the medicinal herbs to the mountain, and it just so happened that the jade sword on the Liu Yushi Mansion also sent it over, and the steward of the Liu Mansion also brought him a letter.
Li Qingxuan looked at the emerald green peaks in the distance, and saw that the mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, and the occasional ape and deer chirped from afar, as if it was a fairyland on earth. He watched quietly for a while, and suddenly remembered Cui Luoshuang, who was far away in Gusu City, and he replied to Cui Luoshuang some time ago, asking Liu Yushi to send someone to Suzhou Mansion.
This morning, he received a reply from Cui Luoshuang. He gently opened the letter, and there were many Juanxiu words written on it, although it was the second time he received Cui Luoshuang's letter, his heart was still a little pounding. There were many words written on the letter, and he read them word by word.
I saw that it was written: Brother Li saw the words as his face, and since receiving Brother Li's letter, the little woman was relieved. In the small courtyard on Qionglong Mountain, Uncle Jian often takes care of it, and Brother Li doesn't have to worry about it. I want to come to Luoyang City at this time, it should be in the early spring, Luoyang City is located on the side of Luoshui, the land belongs to the north, the climate at this time is still cold, and I hope that Brother Li must add more clothes to keep out the cold. The little woman worships, Brother Li don't read it!
Just a few words, the meaning of admiration jumped on the paper. Cui Luoshuang's calligraphy is delicate and peaceful, elegant and graceful, and it is very pleasing to the eye. The quiet care between the words can see her admiration. Li Qingxuan's heart was like eating honey, he put the letter back into the envelope, and then gently put the letter into the white jade box left by his mother.
Then, he looked at the jade sword placed on the table, and saw that the jade sword was one foot three inches long, two fingers wide, the overall body of the sword was blue and white, the surface was warm and smooth, extremely soft, and the style was simple and elegant.
If you look closely, you can see that there are some runes carved on this jade sword, and these runes are very slender, looming, and almost imperceptible. These runes are drawn according to the runes recorded in the Wuzhen Kendo chapter, which are very complicated and cumbersome, and even the best skilled masters in Luoyang City dare not start to carve these runes.
In the end, Li Qingxuan personally carved these runes with a carving knife, and it took half an hour to carve them, and these runes were very coherent, without the slightest interruption, and he was very satisfied after he finished carving them himself.
After a night of exercise, Li Qingxuan closed his eyes and recuperated his mind, and he had already made his spirit very complete. He silently recited the meditation trick in his heart for a while, and then he regained his calm heart
Border. He closed his eyes slightly, the pores of his whole body slowly opened, and a fresh breeze exhaled from him, gradually blowing all over the ashram, and then spreading from the ashram to the outside.
After about a cup of tea, Li Qingxuan slowly finished his work. Although he closed his eyes and meditated here last night, his breath had not yet been completely integrated into the breath of the surrounding world.
Li Qingxuan opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he took off all the items on his body and placed them on the table one by one. There are Jin Dan, Wuzhen Kendo Chapter, Tai Zhou Tiangong, Fu Gong Treasure Book, Qinghua Dan and other things, and he then put these important treasures and secret tips into a long wooden box and wrapped them in purple silk cloth.
There is a copper furnace in the practice room, which was sent by the king of Fengjie County, according to Li Shi, this copper furnace is rumored to be a thing on Zhongnan Mountain, and it is very good to use it for alchemy. It's a pity that he doesn't know how to make alchemy, but he can use it to refine swords, so he drew a fire talisman at the bottom of the furnace and added charcoal flint.
Li Qingxuan lit a fire and put a copper basin on the stove, the water in the copper basin was about three fingers away from the mouth of the basin, and a fire charm was also spent on the bottom of the copper basin to increase the strength of the flame. After two quarters of an hour, the water in the copper basin was already boiling.
Seeing this, Li Qingxuan gently put the jade sword into the boiling water, the boiling water kept tumbling, and the jade sword sank to the bottom of the water, but there was no change. He closed his eyes slightly, meditated cross-legged on the mat next to the stove, and his hands were held into a Tai Chi seal, and his true qi was running large and small.
After about an hour, the temperature in the ashram gradually increased, and the mist filled the water. Looking from the outside, you can see the green mountains and verdant mountains, the ancient trees towering to the sky, and the sound of apes and deer chirping in the distance. There is an exquisite house on the top of the mountain, and the smoke between the houses is like a fairyland, which makes people indulge in it.
Li Qingxuan opened his eyes and stood up, and saw that the jade sword in the copper basin gradually dissolved, dissolved a small half, and merged into the water, making the boiling water change color, like a jade brew.
After another hour, Li Qingxuan suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, but saw that the jade sword had all melted and melted into the water, and there was not a trace of the jade sword. He used the Qi Hope Technique and looked at the jade water in the copper basin, only to see that the breath in the water was dense, like an abyss, and there was no bottom.
Seeing this, a hint of joy flashed in Li Qingxuan's eyes, he knew that the first step in refining the sword pill was a success. He thought to himself: "The second step is to put in all kinds of medicinal materials, these medicinal materials have different medicinal properties, and there are many conflicting medicinal materials, which are not consistent with the medical theory in the green bag book." ”
"Maybe cultivating the secret art of truth can't be judged by common sense. There are 28 kinds of main drugs and 72 kinds of auxiliary drugs, among which there are many precious medicinal materials. The second step is to put in the medicinal materials in two steps, first put the main materials, then put the auxiliary materials, and the order of each medicinal material can not be wrong, otherwise it will be wasted, and there is no room for carelessness!"
All kinds of thoughts flashed in Li Qingxuan's heart, and he silently recited the meditation trick, and his mind finally calmed down. He muttered to himself, "The second step is particularly crucial, before putting in the medicinal herbs, I still do a hiding technique, just in case!"
Li Qingxuan thought about it in his heart, so he pinched his hands into the meridian Taiji seal, and read in a low voice: "Hide and hide my body, hide in the purple and red clouds in the sky, the wind comes with the wind, the rain comes with the rain, I have three souls and seven spirits and no place to hide, go down to hide in the Tongming Palace, if there is a master to fight the law, gold."
The three knives are not merciful, I would like to invite the six stars of the Southern Dipper and the seven stars of the Big Dipper. After Li Qingxuan finished reading in a low voice, he stomped his right foot on the ground three times.
Concealment is an indispensable method for many monastic sects, and its main purpose is to hide one's own soul, so that the evil demons and other ways cannot find their souls, so as to play a protective role, and the way is to hide the soul. The main use of the hiding technique is to avoid evil, to avoid attacks, and to avoid evil demons through alchemy, all in order to make the evil demons not find them.
After Li Qingxuan finished casting the spell, he took out the Wuzhen Kendo chapter and read it again, and after making sure that he remembered the order of all the medicinal materials very clearly, he began to prepare to put all kinds of medicinal materials into the water. Li Qingxuan took out the snow lotus and slowly put it into the water, only to see that the snow lotus melted into the water in a moment.
The boiling water was still boiling, and it didn't seem to have changed much, and Li Qingxuan put the second medicinal herb Cordyceps into the water with a serious expression. In this way, after two teas, ninety-seven of the hundred medicinal herbs had been put in, and the water in the copper basin became less and thicker than before, and the color became milky white.
Li Qingxuan's sideburns were slightly sweaty, but his eyes were still bright and firm, when he put the last three medicinal herbs of saffron, dragon beard vine, and papaya into the water, the boiling water surface slowly calmed down, and a thin layer of ice rose on the water surface, but in a flick of his fingers, it melted away.
The boiling water, which had been boiling, gradually fell silent, and after a stick of incense, the water surface was completely calm, without the slightest ripple. The flames in the copper furnace were still burning, but in the copper basin, the water surface was as still as a lake, and it looked like a basin of cold water that had just been poured into it.
The temperature in the house is gradually rising, and the white smoke and mist fill the whole room, and the original early spring season has a feeling of midsummer heat. From the outside, this fine house seems to be surrounded by white cloud fairy mist, like a heavenly palace, hidden between the white cloud fairy mist.
After two more teas, the white smoke and mist in the house gradually dissipated, and the temperature gradually dropped, returning to the temperature of early spring. The original basin of water, burned and boiled so far, gradually decreased, when he put the last three medicinal herbs into the water, the pot was not much soup again, after a stick of incense time, only a pool of soup at the bottom of the basin remained, this pool of soup, the color of milky white, crystal clear, very sweet.
Li Qingxuan put on silkworm gloves and slowly poured the soup in the copper basin into the porcelain bowl that had been prepared long ago, and after pouring it, the soup was only a finger's distance from the mouth of the bowl. He looked at the soup in the bowl, and his heart was very excited, and he silently recited the meditation trick in his heart, and finally regained his peace of mind.
Li Qingxuan took off the silkworm gloves and picked up the porcelain bowl with his hand, but he didn't feel a little heat, only some of the coolness of the porcelain bowl itself. The boiling water that has been boiling for a long time should be extremely hot, but this bowl of soup does not seem to have any heat.
He raised his eyebrows, thinking that things were not so simple, but he didn't think about it deeply, he closed his eyes slightly, brought the porcelain bowl to his mouth, and the sweet breath went straight to his nose, and he raised his head and drank it all, as if drinking.
The first sensation of swallowing the soup was extremely cool, and then the flick of your fingers felt an extremely hot temperature, spreading like a flame. In an instant, he felt that the innate true qi that had originally protected the various points and meridians in his body had collapsed. It's like a river bursting its banks, surging down, extremely fierce!
