Volume 2: Entering the Dao - Escaping from Death, Entering the Path of Contemplation Chapter 44: The Refining Workshop
"Senior Brother Chen, why is there no way down the mountain here?"
"I don't know what happened when Senior Brother went down the mountain?" Chen Liudong walked forward unhurriedly, "If there is no important matter, it is better for Senior Brother to concentrate on cultivation as a closed disciple of the peak master." ”
"Is this what the outer disciples who do miscellaneous work said? There is definitely something wrong with this Chen Liudong. Qi Changzheng thought in his heart, but there was an anxious expression on his face, "Senior brother, you don't know! I grew up in the jungle since I was a child, and I am used to being wild, and I don't feel well when I don't walk around in the forest for a day. This altar was bare, and there was not a single tree in sight, so I was really panicked. ”
"Senior brother, you must not say that, the altar is sacred, the vitality is abundant, and many disciples of Tufeng are only allowed to cultivate on the altar on the night of the full moon. Chen Liudong looked at Qi Changzheng enviously, "Senior Brother can be favored by the peak master, accepted as a closed disciple, and can cultivate on the altar at any time, that is the blessing that Senior Brother cultivated in his previous life!"
"Master respects and loves, and the Long March cher......ishes itself," Qi Changzheng looked respectful, and then his face changed, "Senior Brother Chen, do you tell me where the way down the mountain is?" ”
"Senior brother, don't be impatient, the peak master has an order......"
"The peak master has an order?"
Qi Changzheng interrupted Chen Liudong's words, if he let him finish Wu Laodao's ban, there would be no room for retraction, "What do you mean? Senior Brother Chen is saying that the master strictly forbids me to go down the mountain, and he wants to trap me on the altar? This is impossible, the master is the master of the earth peak, how can he not know that a monk with the earth constitution is naturally close to the earth, if you don't tell me, I will ask the master to go ...... myself?"
"Long March!"
Wu Laodao's voice suddenly sounded, and Qi Changzheng looked around in surprise, but he didn't see Wu Laodao's figure.
"The original plan for the teacher was to let you meditate and cultivate on the altar, ignoring your earthly physique, because the teacher was not considerate. ”
Qi Changzheng heard that Wu Laodao's voice came from the Earth Spirit Treasure Hall, he was on the edge of the altar, and the distance between him and the Earth Spirit Treasure Hall was more than three hundred meters, but Wu Lao Dao's voice could clearly reach his ears, which made him feel shocked and more vigilant.
"Let Liu Dong take you down the mountain, don't be greedy, and teach you a set of knife techniques as a teacher at noon. ”
"Master rest assured, the Long March will go back as soon as you go, and you don't dare to miss your homework. ”
Qi Changzheng saluted respectfully, and Liu Dong led him to the other side of the altar. I saw him take out a bead from his bosom and inlay it in a hole in the white jade fence, and then pushed the fence open, and a stone step appeared out of thin air, spiraling downward.
Following Chen Liudong and walking down, Qi Changzheng still felt nervous, the stone steps he walked on disappeared in the next moment, if it weren't for Chen Liudong leading the way in front and letting him walk alone, he would really be frightened.
The stone steps that will disappear are 108 steps, Qi Changzheng counted silently in his heart, and then walked up the normal stone steps, looked back at the platform above, and the straight-line distance should be about 15 meters.
It took about 24 minutes to walk along the steps between the cliffs at a normal pace. If you run up the stone steps, the formula is 24 minutes at a normal walking speed divided by 4, which is about 6 minutes to enter the woods that stretch to the bottom of the mountain.
Qi Changzheng was already planning a plan to escape.
In his previous life, he made two careless mistakes, the first time he was careless, which caused his brother to be killed by a thunderbolt, and the second time, he was killed by a thunderbolt. After being reborn in the jungle, he has become extremely sensitive to potential dangers.
Ape Qingshan just felt suspicious, and he had been able to confirm that Wu Lao Dao accepted him as a closed disciple, and there must be a conspiracy. He comforted Ape Qingshan because he hadn't figured out Wu Laodao's intentions yet, and before that, he didn't want Ape Qingshan's nervousness to be noticed by Wu Laodao.
"Where is Senior Brother going?" Chen Liudong was respectful.
"I don't know much about Tufeng, and I hope that my senior brother will introduce you to the Long March. Of course, Qi Changzheng wanted to go to the place where he forged weapons, but in front of Chen Liudong, he would not say it directly.
"Tufeng has a hall, a pavilion, a hole, four squares, and a hall is the Earth Spirit Treasure Palace, Liu Dong will not introduce it. The first pavilion is for the library pavilion, the pavilion is complete with the earth exercises, and the essence of the earth exercises are in the ground hall of the senior brother, and it is okay to go to the library pavilion to visit.
As for the four squares, they are the refining workshop, the pill workshop, the talisman workshop, and the magic circle workshop, although these four squares belong to the scope of the earth peak, they are not subject to the earth peak.
The refining workshop belongs to the Jinfeng Instrument Sect, forging and repairing weapons for the Tufeng monks; the pill workshop belongs to the Mufeng Danzong, and the Mufeng monks only come to the earth peak to distribute the pills on the day of the full moon; the Fu Fang is under the Shuifeng Fu Sect, and the Dharma Array Workshop is under the Huofeng Array Sect, and these two Taoist workshops only have monks to come when they are needed, and there are no monks stationed in them on weekdays. ”
"It's still early, Senior Brother Chen, take me around. ”
Chen Liudong took Qi Changzheng to walk around the buildings in Tufeng, the pill workshop, the magic circle workshop and the Fu Zong workshop were all closed, only there were two Taoist priests in the refining workshop, who were also listlessly building a long sword, and there was a young Taoist priest covered in soil standing outside the door of the refining workshop.
"Is the senior brother outside the refining workshop a disciple of Tufeng?"
I didn't see any other Tufeng disciples along the way, and the entire Tufeng felt lifeless to Qi Changzheng, and I finally saw a Taoist priest covered in soil, and I estimated that he should be a disciple of Tufeng.
Chen Liudong nodded and said, "The environment for the Tufeng disciples to practice the exercises is special, so their bodies are covered with mud. ”
"Senior brother, the Long March is polite......" Qi Changzheng walked a few steps briskly and saluted the young Taoist priest covered in dirt.
"Hmm!"
The young Taoist priest glanced at him, took the long sword from the Taoist priest in the refining workshop, and turned around and walked away without looking back. Qi Changzheng saluted, and before his waist straightened, the Taoist priest left, making him very inexplicable.
"A low-grade sword and a spirit stone are repaired once, three spirit stones are in the middle grade, and ten spirit stones are in the upper grade......" The Taoist priest in the refining workshop was very anxious, and his tone was very impatient, "What are you doing standing stupidly, take out the weapon you want to return to the furnace!"
"I don't have a weapon to return ......"
"If you don't have a weapon to rebuild it, what are you going to do in the refining workshop......" The anxious Taoist priest said before closing the door.
"Brother, wait, I want a knife. ”
"Knife!" The Taoist priest glanced at Qi Changzheng, opened the door, and walked to the weapon rack with Qi Changzheng, "These low-grade knives have two spirit stones, and the middle-grade knives have five spirit stones, and the top-grade ones estimate that you don't have so many spirit stones, and you can choose one for the middle-grade and lower-grade ones." ”
"What is a spirit stone?" Qi Changzheng asked suspiciously.
"Don't you know the spirit stone?" The Taoist priest of the acute son paused, and then looked like he suddenly realized, and suddenly asked, "Are you Ape Qingshan or Qi Changzheng?"
"The stout one is Ape Qingshan, you must be Qi Changzheng, the newly accepted disciple of the Earth Peak Peak. Another Taoist priest with a scar on his face stepped forward, looked Qi Changzheng up and down, and said with a smile: "There's nothing surprising, most of the rumors are not credible, just his little bit, I can smash him flat with a hammer." ”
The Taoist priest looked at Qi Changzheng and said with a smile: "You are a little small, Qi Changzheng, did you really enter the Yuan Qi Middle Realm with only ten breaths?"
Qi Changzheng nodded, he didn't expect what happened yesterday, and someone asked him today, the speed of this spread was too fast.
"Come on, little junior brother, you have created the history of Songheguan's promotion to the middle realm of vitality, let me see your skills. ”
The Scar Taoist raised the sledgehammer as he spoke, and he was about to make a move with Qi Changzheng. The Taoist priest of the anxious son also looks eager to try. Qi Changzheng was startled, and hurriedly retreated and hid behind Chen Liudong.
"Senior brother, slow down!"
As an outer disciple, Chen Liudong had a lowly status and couldn't intervene at all, but he was pushed in front of him by Qi Changzheng and had to speak out to stop him. The other party is the inner disciple of the Jinfeng Instrument Sect, and the disciples who practice the Jinxing Gong are extremely belligerent, and the lowest cultivation also has the upper realm of vitality, which is really smashed with a hammer, he can't bear it, and he said hard:
"The two senior brothers forgive me, Senior Brother Qi is getting started, the peak master has not taught him the exercises, but he is not the opponent of the two senior brothers, and I hope that the two senior brothers will look at the face of the peak master and compete with Senior Brother Qi after a while. ”
"Hmph! If you are too timid, it is useless to go up to the realm. The Scar Taoist priest walked aside with a hammer and ignored Qi Changzheng. The Taoist priest also lost interest, and said listlessly: "If you have a spirit stone, let's change the knife again!"
