Chapter 68: Lethe
"How many days?" said the golden boy who poked the silver boy next to him with his hand, and looked at Chongjiu, who was looking around the Dan furnace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The silver boy didn't speak, but stretched out three fingers.
"It's only three days? It's still early, the master just refines a weapon casually and it takes nine days, the whip has been refined for twenty-four days, the rake has been refined for thirty-six days, and this time it will take at least twenty days, right?" said the golden boy shaking his head.
"Uh-huh, I think too. The silver boy nodded in response.
"But this weapon is not out of the oven, and I guess this kid doesn't have the heart to burn the fire. β
"Yes, look at the flames, sometimes big and sometimes small, let's follow the master's instructions and let him go to the pool behind to clean up the silt. β
"Yes. β
There is a large courtyard behind the Tushi Palace, and there is also a pond, which is said to be a pond, but it is the water of the Tianhe River, and in the Heavenly Palace, where is the silt? To put it bluntly, this silt is only available in the Tushi Palace.
Ordinary waste pills and residues are poisonous, let alone waste pills and residues in the hands of saints. The harm is immeasurable, and it cannot be disposed of at will, and it is poured into this pond every time, accumulating over time, I don't know how many thousand years, forming a thick layer of silt in this pond.
These poisons have been released for a long time, of course, in order not to harm the Heavenly Palace, Lao Tzu arranged a purification formation, some algae were planted in the pond, swimming fish, and the essence of transformation was absorbed by these creatures.
However, someone has to go down every time to clean up the silt and maintain a degree to ensure the normal ecological balance of the pond.
It could be thirty years, fifty years, a hundred years, more or less, but it was all the work of the two boys, gold and silver.
This time, it was handed over to Chongjiu to do it, and it was also because he was uneasy, so he found him a job. Chongjiu didn't shirk, he jumped into the lake directly with a small shovel, and when he entered the water, he felt cold, cold and biting.
Don't talk big, he has half the ability to survive in the water, and he is actually no different from the air in the water.
I have never encountered such a strange lake, so cold, and the algae in the water is also black, although a few swimming fish are playthings for ornamentation, but the aggressive Chongjiu who occasionally reveals them in his eyes can still see it clearly.
The pets in the saint's house, if they don't have a little spiritual wisdom Chongjiu will definitely not believe it, the small fish in this pond is estimated to be placed in the river of the Nether, and it is also a level of the Inspiration King, or it may be even better.
"Forget it, don't worry about it so much, let's work hard, they don't dare to be too presumptuous. "The pond that looks like the size of a football field from the outside, after Chongjiu jumped in, he found that the space at the bottom of the lake was much larger, at least three times magnified to form an oval. It seems that he is wearing a heavy armor, and the water that looks extremely clear exudes a trace of fragrance, which is not a normal fragrance, but a greasy fragrance.
Compared to the normal floral scent, the fragrance here is a bit like the fragrance in the factory, which is annoying, and every time the fragrance in the water gathers at a certain moment, a trace of something the size of a yellow hair and a bit like smoke appears in the water.
Before Chongjiu could take a closer look, he was swallowed by a silver-white swimming fish next to him. Whenever there is smoke, it will be quickly extinguished, Chongjiu was stunned.
"Are these swimming fish part of the formation, or are they the embodiment of the formation? are they not real creatures?" Thinking about it, Chongjiu had already fallen to the bottom of the pool, and the bottom of the pool was full of delicate medicinal mud, shaking up a muddy mist. The pond is not deep, the deepest part is estimated to be three people high, and now Chongjiu's position is only two people high, stepping into the medicine mud with both feet, the cold feeling is even stronger, and it is also proved from the dating that this pond is extraordinary, Chongjiu's realm has fallen from Da Luo Jin Xian to Da Luo Zhen Xian, the realm has dropped one layer, and the physical fitness has not changed at all, not to mention that he is good at the way of water and fire, and it is not an exaggeration to say that water and fire do not invade.
In this lake, he endured the cold like a mortal. Thinking about the breath in the body during the period of being a fire boy, the place has been stabilized, and when you meet this coldness, you will automatically run your whole body, and you will get rid of the heat brought by the Fire Sutra and eliminate the coldness on your body.
The days are very wide, the pond is not big, Chongjiu works hard, and there are not many things that are cleaned up, and after purification, there are very few things left, that is, some flower fertilizer.
However, because of the boy's request, he said that the water was poisonous and could not be taken for too long, and it was only three hours a day, and Chongjiu did not go out for the rest of the time, and continued to burn stones.
It was also a coincidence, when I was not calm, I saw the gold and silver boy doing the morning class, holding the Tao Te Ching in his hand, I didn't feel anything, when my mind floated, the cold water in the lake on the plane was cold to the bone, and I actually forced out the scriptures of the Tao Te Ching printed in the depths of the body.
Every time the Tao Te Ching appeared in his mind, golden characters surrounded the nine-headed black phoenix. After reciting it once, the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart were eliminated, and it was very abnormal, and Chongjiu knew that his biggest gain in this alchemy furnace was actually this Tao Te Ching.
The rest of the days are very good, digging mud during the day, burning fires at night, reciting the Tao Te Ching silently, the days pass day by day, forty-two days have passed in a blink of an eye, Chongjiu felt a shock in his blood, and soon disappeared, thinking it was an illusion, and he didn't care.
But he is getting happier and happier in his heart, the longer he refines, the more powerful he is, and Chongjiu wishes it would take a little longer.
Another seven days passed, and only a soft whistle was heard, and a call came from the backyard, or a longing. Chongjiu knew that the time had come.
Sure enough, there was a voice in my ear: "Okay, come here." β
Chongjiu put down the burning stick, lightning to the back, the silt had been cleaned up ten days ago, the pool water was clearer, at a glance, except for the well in the pool, has been exuding a dark and mysterious atmosphere, hidden in the water, silver-white like mercury like the well water, and the water in the pool form two worlds, the surroundings are also extremely clean, Chongjiu can only stand three zhang away from a few glances, and then go closer, there is an illusion of the soul out of the body. Fortunately, the golden boy warned in advance, otherwise he wouldn't know what the consequences would be.
Although he was extremely curious about Chi Zhongjing, Chongjiu didn't dare to ask more, don't guess the sage's thoughts.
Entering the backyard, all Chongjiu's thoughts were attracted by a gun inserted on the ground, one zhang long, the body of the gun as a whole is red, but the crimson barrel is wrapped around a black poisonous snake, extremely hideous, the relief is generally wrapped around the entire gun barrel, the snake body that spirals up, the fine scales are all over, it plays a good anti-slip role, on the net, the snake head is fiercely opened, spit out a pitch-black gun head, there is no trace of light, the tip of the gun head seems to be broken, under a closer look, it is found that the light seems to be absorbed by the gun head, and it will form a visual illusionγ
Because the relief is pitch black and the barrel is crimson, the two are intertwined, and the whole gun looks dark red, trembling slightly, as if longing for blood, or summoning its owner.
In stark contrast, the silver-white spear cherry blossoms are shining with stars like diamonds, shimmering slightly.
Chongjiu felt the desire and excitement in his heart, stepped up, directly held the body of the gun, with a soft roar, the two closed eyes of the snake head opened, the scarlet vertical pupils were extremely cold, although the body of the gun was changed, but the soul of the gun was immortal, and it had been pinned on the spine of the nameless gods and demons.
"Good gun. "I can't put it down in my hand and play it repeatedly. I feel the touch of the blood, and there is a blood boiling, and I can't wait to find someone to fight for 300 rounds right away.
"Okay, this thing will be yours from now on, and you can play as long as you want. The rest of the leftovers have been refined for you again, so let's give it to you too, and this is your weapon, so give it a name?"
"Isn't it your name, Master?"
"I? Forget it, I see that you are very fond of weapons, so you can get up. β
Chongjiu thought for a moment and said: "I heard that there is a Lethe River in the Netherworld, after crossing the Lethe River, the past will disappear, then this gun will be called Lethe." In Lethe, there is a present life, and there is no afterlife. β
"Lethe, then it's up to you. β
