Chapter 490: Octagonal Ding
"Xianggong, I know very well in my heart, you have a lot of 'women' on Wuliang Island, the day before yesterday you deliberately let your sister-in-law drag me, you yourself 'withdrew' to visit those 'women', in fact, you don't have to hide it, I can understand all this, whether it is in the Pure Yang Palace or Wuliang Island in the future, you will be generous to take care of those concubines, do whatever you have to do, I promise not to drag your 'legs'."
Xu Dong was startled, and when he raised his eyes, Zhao Xuan looked at her with a pair of ** spicy eyes, and her face was written with a kind of gentleness unique to "woman" and "sex", and it was even covered with a layer of maternal "sex" holy brilliance.
"Tomorrow we will leave the Pure Yang Palace to go to the lotus 'flower' and 'cave', you go and meet those concubines and nobles, they are also 'women', they may be waiting for you to go to them. ”
"What do you say. Xu Dong said, "No, no, Zhao Ke and they have only been gone for a few days, how can I wait for them to go to the harem after a hundred days, otherwise I will be sorry for these 'women' who have sacrificed for me." ”
Zhao Xuan said, "It's rare that you have such a deep affection for my sister, her spirit in the sky will definitely be comforted, and it's no wonder that those 'women' are willing to sacrifice their lives, because you have a deep affection for them, whether they are born noble or lowly, you put them on an equal footing with you, and I am willing to do that if you want to do that." ”
Xu Dong said, "Don't talk about this, Lei'er seems to have moved twice, is he about to wake up, you are so good to take care of him, I won't sleep with you anymore, or sleep on the side." ”
Zhao Xuan stretched out his hand and grabbed him, "Don't be like this, just sleep with us tonight, I'm not asking you to do anything, it's just that our family of three has an atmosphere together, you know, since I took Zhao Ke's place, the fate of the three of us is tied together." ”
Xu Dong had no choice but to allow Zhao Xuan to sleep with them, but as a result, he was surrounded by the shadows of Zhao Ke, Yaqian, Sun Ruyun, Abu 'Hua' and Blue Line 'Girl' all night, and finally suffered all night, and he was tired when he got up in the morning.
"Xianggong, let the past pass, don't always be unable to let go, don't say it's for the country of Luotuo, it's for me and Lei'er, you should also cheer up and be your original self. ”
............
Xu Dong took Zhao Xuan and the little prince out of the Chunyang Palace, used the magic technique to the barren meadow, and then escaped into the lotus 'flower' and 'hole', Zhao Xuan, who had never been out of the palace since he was a child, was not excited, seeing that all the household items in this fairy 'cave' mansion were made of stones, and there was such a big steaming hot spring pool, she felt like she had come to another planet, and she felt fresh everywhere.
"Xianggong, there is no shortage of anything in this 'cave' mansion, I think there is a shortage of things to fill your stomach, you have lived in the 'cave' for a long time, what are you eating. ”
After being reminded by Zhao Xuan, Xu Dong remembered that there were many things that he had overlooked, and he should bring enough food when he came out of the Chunyang Palace, and it was not a problem that he had practiced Bigu Gong himself, but he couldn't ask Zhao Xuan and Lei'er to also Bigu, his brain turned, yes, I will first let her learn to ripen plants and practice self-sufficiency.
"You come with me. ”
He took these to the mouth of the 'hole', where there was a nursery for growing grain and 'medicine' grass, and now there were just a few 'jade' rice trees that had grown to more than two feet high, and there were three small 'stick' mallets hanging on the pole of each 'jade' rice, but this little 'stick' mallet was still very young, and if it matured naturally, it might take more than ten days.
But the stomach can't wait, if you wait for ten days, people will already be hungry and prostrate, so Xu Dong has to teach Zhao Xuan to ripen the plant, fortunately, the material is ready-made, and he can't say what technology is needed, he took a clay pot, scooped the hot water from the hot spring pool at the "flower" to water the "jade" rice, the leaves of the "jade" rice are much greener, and the "jade" and "stick" are also rapidly expanding.
It seems that in the blink of an eye, these 'jade' and 'sticks' are full of grout, and the yellow rice grains inside are 'exposed', Zhao Xuan's eyes lit up, she grew to her twenties, and she didn't know that the grain grew out of the soil.
The two of them worked together to break all the "jade" and "sticks" from the poles, and in the process of breaking the "jade" rice, there were several grains of "jade" rice scattered on the ground, and those "jade" rice seeds took root, and after a while, they grew a green seedling as tall as a foot.
Xu Dong took the 'jade' cocoon 'stick' to the fire room of the first secret room, a fragrance was overflowing, and the 'jade' rice was quickly cooked, Zhao Xuan, who was pampered in the royal family, has lived a life of brocade clothes and 'jade' food since he was a child, and there are more than 200 various delicacies at each meal, but she didn't expect to follow Xu Dong to eat roasted 'jade' rice in the lotus 'flower' and 'hole', which turned out to be a kind of enjoyment for her.
"Since you want to follow me in the future, not only do you have to grow food by yourself, but you also have to learn to grow spiritual 'medicine' and refine pills, because this is an indispensable basic skill for a cultivator. ”
Zhao Xuan, who was gnawing on the 'jade' and 'stick', nodded, and said meekly, "Xianggong, I listen to you, but I don't know anything, I have to rely on you to teach me." ”
"Teaching you is for sure, but you have to learn by heart. Xu Dong said and led Zhao Xuan to the second secret room, and handed her a copy of the "'Medicine' Shi Dan Sutra" left by Yaqian here, "You must first understand the 'medicine', 'nature', use and characteristics of various spiritual 'medicines', and then learn to prepare 'medicines', concoct and practice pills." ”
Zhao Xuan said, "Although I haven't done this before, you can teach me, I'm not a stupid person, I can be taught anything by others, such as those tunes played by the Tingyun Palace Teaching Workshop, I only listen to it twice and play it myself." ”
Xu Dong had to teach Su Hong and Yaqian the same as before, patiently taught Zhao Xuan to identify all kinds of 'medicine' herbs, and taught her the methods of cultivating and ripening 'medicine' herbs, Zhao Xuan can also be said to be talented and intelligent, and learned Xu Dong's teaching one by one in a few days, after Zhao Xuan mastered the knowledge of cultivating 'medicine', Xu Dong taught her alchemy hand in hand.
He asked Zhao Xuan to take the fresh 'medicine' to the fire room to dry, and then go up to the 'medicine' mortar of the 'raw' totem to pound it into 'medicine' mud, and then pick up the pounded 'medicine' mud and go up to the Ding furnace, after putting the 'medicine' mud on the Ding furnace, Xu Dong taught her the formula of starting the fire, and with this formula she can lead to the earth fire, after the earth fire is connected to the Ding furnace, the fire under the Ding furnace is ignited.
"There are many methods of alchemy, the common method is 'direct refining', the so-called 'direct refining', is a 'sex' to put the ingredients required for alchemy into the ding, ignition directly refining the pill, in addition to 'direct practice' there is also a method of 'qu refining', this 'qu refining' is a technical work, first in the ding only into a few flavors of the main 'medicine', and then every once in a while, add one or a few flavors of 'medicine' into it, the fire section is also indirect, sometimes large and sometimes small. ”
Zhao Xuan nodded, she memorized the method he said attentively, "Xianggong, is there any difference between 'direct refining' and 'qu refining'." ”
Xu Dong said, "Refining ordinary pills generally use 'direct refining', this method is simpler than 'qu practice', the bad point is that it is difficult to master the heat, easy to refine the bad spirit 'medicine', you must remember that the most important thing to pay attention to in alchemy is the heat, the heat is not enough, the 'medicine' mud does not become a pill, and the fire is too much will burn the Dan 'medicine' into ashes." ”
He continued, "Therefore, refining some valuable pill 'medicine' generally does not need to be 'direct practice', unless you are a master of alchemy, or your cultivation realm is particularly high, you can use the sea of knowledge to penetrate the Ding furnace to see the situation inside, if it is a high-grade or superb pill, then it requires more complex techniques, and generally ask a professional alchemist to help refine it." ”
Zhao Xuan nodded again, "Xianggong, I understand." ”
Xu Dong said, "After I teach you these basic methods, you can 'grope' and explore it yourself against the 'Medicine' Shidan Sutra, and also, I will retreat and practice in the secret room for a few days, and during this period of my retreat, you will have to take care of Lei'er." ”
Zhao Xuan said, "Xianggong, you can cultivate with confidence, our mother doesn't need you to worry, I will take good care of Lei'er." ”
At present, the lotus 'flower' and 'hole' have opened a total of five secret rooms, because the fifth secret room is usually closed, in fact, only four can come in handy, after Zhao Xuan and Lei Er entered the lotus 'flower' and 'hole', Xu Dong had to arrange a place for them to live, the first secret room is the practice room, the second secret room is the Dan making room, the third secret room is the retreat place of the master and the imperial swordmaster, and it seems that only the fourth secret room is the bedroom.
He let Zhao Xuan and the little prince live in the fourth secret room, and after settling everything down, he turned around and found that there were dozens of more secret rooms next to him, one by one, like a long flute with many 'holes', but obviously there were many more 'holes' than Chang Xiao's, and they were opposite the 'holes' on both sides, and he counted a total of forty-eight rooms, and there were twenty-four on each side.
This discovery made him stunned, he was chased and killed by the disciples of the Huoyun Sect sent by the Red Eyebrow Daoist and strayed into the lotus 'flower' and 'cave', thinking about it, it has been almost ten years, and five secret rooms have been opened in these ten years, almost one every two years, but now why are they opened so many at once, is it that the general button in charge of these secret rooms has been moved, but who is this button, could it be that his master, the Imperial Sword Master, has returned.
Xu Dong thought, don't care about these things for now, I'll go into these secret rooms and take a look.
He inspected one secret room after another, except for one of which contained a bronze round tripod, the other secret rooms were empty, but like the secret rooms that had been opened before, the floor of these secret rooms was covered with scarlet carpets, and tens of thousands of bones were buried under each carpet.
Why are these secret rooms empty, is there an outsider who has entered the lotus 'flower' and 'hole' when he is away, but he saw that the carpet was clean, and he couldn't even find a footprint, it didn't look like someone had gone in, let alone that someone had robbed the treasures inside, if there were any treasures, I am afraid that this bronze tripod would be counted.
This is a big tripod with a high shoulder, a rough look is round, a closer look only to find that the tripod body has eight corners, the following is four feet, the upper mouth is very large, it is an octagonal wide-mouth tripod, the outer wall of the tripod has dense inscriptions, it may be that the age of this tripod is too long, and the text becomes unclear.
Xu Dong opened the "Heavenly Eye" of the Purple Mansion and looked at it for a long time before he recognized the words "Tongyun Dachang" in the inscription, but this did not explain the origin and life experience of this tripod, Xu Dong had to temporarily give up studying this tripod, and planned to close the heavy stone 'door' of this secret room after going out.
When he was about to turn away, there was a sudden burst of golden light, and the whole body in front of him was shining and began to shake, and then he heard a roar in his ears, and he was sure that this roar did not come from the octagonal ding, and looked for the sound, but came from the treasure bag on his body.
