Chapter 156: The Difficulty of Magic
Walking in the village, it is very lively.
Yu Dao only walked through a street, and saw snake repellents, animal breeders, weavers, bows and arrows, eagle and bird domesticators, and spirit fruit sellers......
The voices of the people are boiling, many monks gather here, there is less fairy flavor, less magic flavor, and less demon flavor, all like mortals, you come and go, bustling, more human flavor.
There are teahouses and liquor shops in the village, and strange and strange stalls are placed on the roadside, and the stalls are piled with goods.
"Come on, the best tiger bone wine, deer blood wine, and ginseng wine...... What a supplement!"
Yu Dao walked past a small stall, just as the stall owner was shouting, he followed the sound and looked over, and found that the stall owner was a middle-aged man in Miao clothes and hats, with copper skin, square face, and a fierce breath all over his body.
Looking at the other party's wine stall, the things he filled with wine were not stingy at all, not small cups and small cups, not pottery bowls and porcelain bowls, but wide-mouthed clay pots the size of human heads, a clay pot was a bowl of wine, and then added after drinking.
The color of the wine is either blood red or golden, and a strong medicinal fragrance and bloody smell waft out from it, which is full of tiger bones, deer antler velvets, and ginseng, and is full of weight, just one sip can let people know that this is a great tonic.
If a martial artist in the mortal world can take a sip, he can at least last seven or eight days of cultivation, even if a beginner demon monk drinks a clay pot, he can also drink three or four days of cultivation.
Wine is not expensive, one charm can drink five or six bowls, but the stall owner is not responsible for installing the altar, he has to let people do it themselves, or stand in front of the stall and drink five or six crockpots of wine directly.
Some of the young friars who were just starting out were led by their elders and stood by the stalls and drank tiger bone wine in a big gulp to polish their flesh.
Yu Dao looked at it for a while, but he didn't come over, the stall was a small stall, there were no seats, and there were not many people chatting, so he couldn't achieve the purpose of auditing.
After strolling around for a while, Yu Dao felt like he had returned to the first time he visited the temple fair, and the things in front of him were overwhelming, with a wide variety of things, far beyond the imagination of mortals.
It is the snake demon who drives away the snake, and the snake does not need a whistle, and the mouth directly hisses, so that the movement of the poisonous snake and the giant python can be controlled; it is the Miao people who raise the beasts, and they carry the colorful tiger with their empty hands, and the tiger opens its bloody mouth and bites the hands of the Miao people, but it can't even bite the skin, so they can only watch the Miao people peddle its children; the weaver who sells the cloth seems to be a spider spirit, with eight hands, without a shuttle, and goes back and forth empty-handed, pulling silk threads from the navel to weave a fireproof robe......
Yu Dao found an open wine shop, and saw that there were many customers inside, but there were five or six monks in the early stage of enlightenment, so Shi Shiran paced in.
There is a shopkeeper in the wine shop, and the second is also a monk, but his cultivation is slightly lower, and it seems that he has just been born with mana. But when he saw Yu Dao walk in, he looked enthusiastic, no different from Xiao Er in the mortal world.
"Guest, what kind of wine do you eat?" Xiao Er was dressed in a tiger skin jacket, but it was different from the dress of Shudi, and he was a little more wild.
Yu Dao sat on the seat and said directly: "There is a lot of wine and food, introduce it." ”
"My family buys wine in porcelain bowls, there is a bowl of spiritual wine with one rune, there are three runes for a bowl of spiritual wine, and there are also five runes for a bowl of spiritual wine. ”
"If the guests think that these spirit wines are not good, there are also ten talismans in the cellar and a bowl of spirit wine. ”
Compared with a large tonic wine with five or six clay pots on the street, the wine here is really expensive. However, when he heard that there was a spiritual character in the wine, Yu Dao asked: "Your wine, but it is boiled with spiritual water, boiled with spiritual fruit, and brewed by magic?"
When Xiao Er heard this, he immediately laughed: "The guest said that he was joking, if it is really as the guest said, this sip of wine will charge at least thirty or forty talismans." ”
"The small shop has a thin foundation, just the spiritual water purchased from the spiritual spring in the village, and then brewed with the secret method of the family, so that the wine contains some spiritual energy. ”
Yu Dao glanced at the drinks ordered by the other guests, and without asking the price, he pointed directly to a table and said, "Bring me a bowl too, and then cut some meat." ”
"Okay. Xiao Er turned around and left.
After a while, a palm-sized porcelain bowl was delivered, along with a thick ham, which pressed a whole table.
"Guest, a total of three talismans. Meat is a tiger's leg, not money. ”
Xiao Er put the wine and food on the table and said directly: "Collect the money first, then eat the wine, no two words." ”
Yu Dao glanced at him, threw out three talisman coins, folded them on the table, and waved his hand.
Xiao Er accepted the payment and said, "Use it slowly." And he left.
Yu Dao took a sip of spiritual wine, and found that it did contain a trace of spiritual energy, this bowl of wine liquid was in the stomach, and it was slowly refined, which could be worth a day's work of an ordinary monk, and it was no wonder that it was worth three talismans.
He was eating wine while eavesdropping on the conversations of the people around him.
"There have been a lot of people in the village in recent days. ”
"It's going to be a Gu Cultivation Conference soon, of course there are a lot of people. ”
"Gu Cultivation Conference, do you want to go up and give it a try?"
Yu Dao sat for half an hour, and finally heard someone talking about something useful, and paid attention.
It was two middle-aged men who were eating, and one of them with a tiger skin hat said, "No, I was lucky last time, I did a few big jobs, and I almost saved enough money." ”
The other person immediately said with envy: "Brother, it's good luck!"
He immediately said, "Dude, what spell do you want to buy?"
When the other party heard this, he snorted, "I haven't thought about it yet!" By the way, the Gu Cultivation Conference is about to start, but you decided to give it a try. ”
When the other person heard it, his tone fell lonely: "'Live' for three or five years, you can learn a technique, although these years have been doing white work for others, and you can't make an inch of cultivation, but you can also get a spell, I want to give it a try......"
The conversation between the two was embarrassing for a while, but they just drank with their heads down, but fortunately, they also talked about magic at the other tables.
After listening to more than a dozen ears, Yu Dao finally got useful news.
It turns out that there is indeed a spell in this Miao Gu Village, and the means to obtain it are extremely easy, it is directly placed in the store, and it can be bought with money.
However, the asking price is very expensive, one of the two Chinese characters, saved for four or five years, plus good luck, this is enough to buy the talisman money needed to buy a spell.
The other person has not saved enough so far, and it seems that he is going to try his luck at the Gu Cultivation Conference.
"Gu Cultivation Conference, Live as a ......" Hearing these two words, Yu Dao thought in his heart, the two didn't talk much, and he couldn't hear it very clearly.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Yu Dao got enough news that he drank the spiritual wine in the bowl and got up from his seat.
"Spells are really difficult to refine, I heard the people in the wine shop say that if you want to refine a spell into runes, even if you have good qualifications, it will take three or four years of effort. ”
"If you have ordinary qualifications, even if you only refine the magic method for three or four years and don't practice, it will be difficult to condense runes. ”
Yu Dao's heart became heavy.
It takes three years to condense one rune, and it takes thirty-six runes to make a breakthrough, that is, even if the qualifications are good, it will take one hundred and eight years to condense the rune alone.
And that's not even taking into account the effort and time it takes to collect the thirty-six spells.
Although as long as he enters the practice, the monk can live for 120 years without illness or disaster. After being promoted to the realm of enlightenment, the monk can live to the age of 150.
But even so, a well-qualified monk would only be able to make up thirty-six runes before the end of his lifespan. If the qualifications are a little worse, there is basically no possibility of a breakthrough.
Yu Dao caressed his heart, he only now truly knew the importance of the three runes in his body, and how precious they were.
These three runes saved him at least ten years.
"Forget it, let's buy a spell first and try out your qualifications...... Hopefully not too bad. Yu Dao cleaned up his mood, walked out of the wine shop, and walked towards the place where the magic was sold.
