Chapter Seventy-Five: Pills and Immortals

When I entered the city of Yandingfu, I saw people coming out to buy on the street, and monks walking through the streets in a team chanting scriptures.

It can be seen that Buddhism is flourishing in the land of Gyeonggi, and it is not a lie.

In these years, there were fewer people practicing the mountain, and Taoist temples and temples were opened in the city.

There are merit boxes in the main halls at the doors, and it is not piety that burns incense when you enter the temple, but money and silver.

Standing at the door of a temple where incense was flourishing, the empty dust and the donkey general looked enviously at the pilgrims kneeling on the stairs, holding incense sticks and kowtowing step by step.

The copper plate put into the merit box was fragrant and crackling, and the smiling eyes of the fat-headed and big-eared monk at the door narrowed into a slit.

A so-called hand-copied Buddhist scriptures that have been consecrated by the master actually cost nearly one or two silver, and a string of Buddha beads and Buddha cards that have been opened are needless to say, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this small temple is a day into gold.

And on the temple where they were at the beginning, not to mention the people who came to burn incense, it was rare to see even a ghost.

Under the temple gate, the Taoist man riding on the donkey sighed bitterly.

"People in the world worship these so-called true cultivators who do not cultivate merits and defraud money in the name of gods and Buddhas, and buy those useless Taoist scriptures and Buddhist books. ”

But he turned the poor Taoist into a false Taoist. ”

"Woohoo...... Alas!"

General Donkey looked at the merit box with green eyes, and nodded in agreement.

"That's right, sir!"

"This is a group of demon monks! Let's fight side by side, and the time has come to eliminate demons and defend the way!"

Kong Chenzi patted the donkey's head: "It's your demon who has the heaviest demonic nature, and you can't take it lightly!"

"We don't care about the affairs of the world, take Halazi away, and look at your useless appearance. ”

Kong Chenzi turned to look at the direction: "It's not too early, go to the pharmacy on the market street to see if you can get the medicinal materials you want as soon as possible." ”

Gao Xian received the monstrous blood qi of the locust god, and he must refine it into an elixir in time, otherwise most of its effects will slowly be ruined with the passage of time.

However, the matching medicinal materials are not something that can be received by small cities and counties, only large cities in various states and counties, or prosperous places such as Yanding Mansion can be gathered.

Walk around the bazaar, from the streets to the alleys.

However, on this whole street, there are cloth shops selling silk and satin, restaurants selling roast duck, pawnshops, rice shops, and grocery stores, but there are no pharmacies.

"Why don't you see the pharmacy?"

When I asked, I found out that the doctors and pharmacies in Yanding Mansion had to be assessed and formulated.

It is not opened on the noisy markets and streets, but there are one or two in each market, which is convenient for the people of each market to see a doctor and ask for medicine.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a commotion in the middle of the street, and as soon as the crowd saw the excitement, they immediately gathered there.

In the crowd, a man and a woman stood in front of a strange truck, on which were placed white porcelain bottles, which looked like they were selling medicine.

The man was a young Taoist priest in his twenties, who looked not tall and had a tender face, lively and active.

The woman was not good at words, and stood on the other side without saying a word.

The young Taoist priest stepped forward and introduced lively: "Under is Zhang Xibai of Dengxian Temple, the disciple of Dengxian Temple, the disciple of the previous master of Dengxian Temple, everyone must have heard of it, our Dengxian Temple has been famous for its alchemy since ancient times, and everyone knows it, and no one knows it......

That being said, it sounds like it's famous.

However, Gao Xian looked at the expressions of the onlookers around him, and probably knew that this should be a Taoist temple with no reputation.

The so-called alchemy, which has been famous since ancient times, is mostly self-boasting.

Then the young Taoist priest began to use the usual method of selling things, telling stories, combining his own goods and origins, with ancient historical stories and celebrities.

The young Taoist priest Zhang Xibai said that "everyone knows that there is an ancient legend in our Yanding Mansion, hundreds of years ago the immortals had been in this place for alchemy, when they attained the Tao, not only one of them soared, together with the house full of chickens, dogs, cows and horses also ascended to the sky with it, but think how powerful the alchemy of this immortal is, even the chicken and dog can become immortals, the heavens are gods, and people take it, then they have it." ”

“......”

It is quite similar to the legend of the chicken dog ascending to heaven that Gao Xian knows.

However, Gao Xian listened, his eyes became solemn, and in a secret book he got from the three plagues, it recorded the method of cultivating locust gods in their vein, and the final realm they sought, which was somewhat similar to this story in some places.

The ancestor of their sect is proficient in the art of alchemy, and has studied the art of immortality all his life.

Finally, with the luck of heaven, he refined a legendary demon pill.

The simple name directly explains its role and its differences.

Through the fusion of countless locusts with the power of this demon pill, in the end, only by combining the power in the elixir was the egg of the locust god was cultivated, and a monster that could be controlled was artificially created.

Somewhat similar to some of the legends in this legend, the final realm sought is the unity of people and the so-called locust gods and demons, and obtain immortality and powerful power, which is no different from becoming an immortal for mortals.

As for why it is not used on people, because the tens of thousands of livestock insects and snakes used in this method can only become one in the end, and no matter how many livestock insects and snakes die, there will always be a substitute that can become a monster.

And there is only one life, and if you fail once, you will be gone.

That's why they came up with this kind of locust god that is different from ordinary monsters, and can be freely controlled by warlocks who practice magic and will not resist, and then use its power to merge into one to achieve the final so-called unity of man and god.

The Taoist stopped, looked at the two Taoist priests named Dengxian Temple, and became a little interested.

At this time, the young Taoist priest lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "And everyone knows the name of this view, it is called Dengxian Temple, and most of the people must have guessed it!"

Taoist priest Zhang Xibai shouted: "That's right, we are the inheritance left by this immortal." ”

Then the porcelain bottles behind him were revealed: "These are the elixir elixir refined by the immortal tripod left by this immortal, called the Rejuvenation Pill." ”

"If you are not sick, you will be strong and strong, and if you are sick, you can also relieve your symptoms. ”

"Although it can't cure all diseases, it is a panacea that everyone can hear. ”

"Each grain is painstakingly refined for many days, and in a month, such a furnace comes out. ”

Zhang Xibai poured out a pill, which was an ordinary pill, and let everyone see it.

Gao Xian also took a look, there are indeed some alchemy techniques in it, although the refined pill is at the level of ordinary medicine, but it is indeed the same as what he said, it is a kind of pill that strengthens the body, and it does have a conditioning effect on some common diseases.

From this point of view, there is indeed an alchemy inheritance.

However, what Gao Xian was more curious about was what Zhang Xibai said just now, the immortal tripod left by the immortals.

Although more and more people gathered, most of them came to see the excitement, and there were few people who made a move.

In the end, it didn't sell much.

Because the first one is very valuable, and the second one is not the kind of drug that works immediately, everyone is still skeptical.

It was dark, and the two medicine sellers who were talking with dry mouths and smoking on their tongues had to push the heavy cart back.
