Before you know it, the middle of winter in January has arrived. Although there is no thermometer measurement www.biquge.info, judging from the phenomenon of splashing water into ice, the temperature is at least minus 20 degrees. The tribesmen had ceased hunting, and all of them huddled into their little tree huts, roasting small fires, and surviving the long winter on the food accumulated in the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn.

But this winter is different because they are migrating.

It is a simple and pale sentence, but behind it is destined to be a cruel and sad process. How many people will lose their lives along the way, relying on just a few animal skins and clothing, with walking as the main mode of transportation, and a large-scale migration of hundreds of thousands of people in temperatures of minus 20 degrees Celsius?

No one knows the answer.

In this long and lonely season, the slaughter of the cold winter has been broken repeatedly, and a faint noisy sound continues to be heard in the distance, day and night, which is the direction of the sub-water department.

Jiang Shang has been in charge of the scheduling and coordination of the migration recently, and he is so busy that his feet barely touch the ground, and I haven't run into him for a while. It stands to reason that being entangled in mundane affairs is not conducive to cultivation, and most monks will try their best to avoid such troubles, but this migration is a major event related to the survival of the whole clan, and among Yu Shun's personal disciples, he is the most long-sleeved and good at dancing, so this burden is also on him.

Every time I think about this, I often feel sorry for him, even the fifth Gong Li has condensed his qi and become complete, and he, the third senior brother, has not yet built a foundation. Comparing my heart to my heart, I don't believe he has any thoughts in his heart.

However, perhaps Yu Shun also felt a little guilty about his disciple, so he tried his best to make amends to him.

One day, near the end of January, Yu Shun sent someone to invite me to go.

When I arrived, I found that Xiong Ling and Jiang Shang were also there, the latter was kneeling respectfully in the square in front of Yu Shun's house, while the former was standing not far behind him. Yu Shun stood in front of them, and on the side of the three of them, there was an iron furnace half a meter high.

This was the first time I had seen iron tools on the Flood Desolation Continent, and I was amazed.

Since I had often discussed exercises with Yu Shun in the past three months, I was familiar with them, so I asked directly, "Is this an iron furnace?"

"Iron?" Yu Shun looked a little stunned, he looked at the Ding furnace, suddenly said: "This material is obtained by me using the Jindan Dan Fire to quench the meteorite outside the sky, and it has never been named. It's fitting that Xiaoyou calls it iron. ”

I often encounter this kind of situation where new words pop up while chatting, and I am already familiar with dealing with it, so I just change the topic as if I didn't hear it, and ask, "Is the big leader ......?"

"Open the furnace for alchemy. ”

"Open the furnace for alchemy?"

I was amazed for a second by the skills that all Xiuzhen novels would appear, and then I asked again, "Then the Great Elder summoned me to ......?"

"Naturally, I wanted to invite the two little friends to have a look. ”

Calling me and Xiong Ling here is purely to let us watch him alchemy? I looked at Yu Shun, and I couldn't keep up with his brain hole for a while.

As if seeing my doubts, Yu Shun smiled and asked, "Xiaoyou, what doubts do you have?"

Doubtful? Of course I wondered! At the beginning, it was just to teach the exercises, and now he is still in a hurry to demonstrate alchemy to us, if it weren't for the fact that after such a long period of contact, I have always felt that Yu Shun is quite open, I am about to start wondering if we will be killed when we resign as planned.

I believe that everyone has a motive for doing things, but what is Yu Shun's motive for doing this?

This question has always haunted me, lurking in the depths of my heart, popping up in the dead of night and burying a layer of darkness in my thoughts.

Of course, I couldn't ask these doubts explicitly, so I had to take a detour and ask, "I wonder if there's anything the Great Chief needs us to do?" ”

Yu Shun looked at me, his eyes were gentle, but he seemed to see the bottom of my heart, and he smiled.

"There is indeed something right now, which requires the cooperation of two little friends. ”

When he said that, I was relieved.

"Speak, Great Chief. ”

"Over the past few days, the two little friends have already understood the cultivation methods of the Golden Pill Technique, the Five Elements Technique, and the Imperial Soldier Technique. But there is also an alchemy secret technique, which has never been introduced to the two little friends. Today is just empty, pass down the alchemy method, and ask the two little friends to keep in mind, and it is not in vain for me to preach. ”

I understand that what he said politely means is that a new course has been opened for us and we are asked to study hard.

Study hard, and study hard.

Only my parents will let us study hard because we are my own child, and only my teachers will let me study hard because I pay the tuition.

Of course, here, there is also a relationship between parents and children, teachers and students, called master and disciple. But Yu Shun and us are not in such a relationship.

So why did he make us study hard, and why did he want us to study hard?

People's fears often stem from the unknown. But it is clear that my questions will not be answered for the time being, so I will continue to know and fear for a long time to come.

Feeling a little irritable in my heart, I nodded perfunctorily in response to Yu Shun, while looking at the four people present, and asked, "Brother Jiang Shang is also here to learn alchemy?"

Jiang Shang looked up at me, different from the gentle smile he usually wore on his face with the national character, at this moment his face and eyes were full of heartfelt and unconcealable joy.

"Brother Cang, today's master opened the furnace for alchemy, and he is preparing to refine a furnace of Zhuji Dan for me. ”

I was stunned.

"You're going to build a foundation?"

Jiang Shang bowed respectfully to Yu Shun and replied: "There is still a line of work, and with the help of the master, you should be able to build a foundation." ”

I can figure it out, Jiang Shang is entangled in mundane affairs, and he doesn't have time to cultivate well, which leads to a low realm, and Yu Shun can't see it. Today, I will open the furnace for alchemy, and prepare to use the power of the pill to help Jiang Shang build a foundation, which can be regarded as compensating for the hard work of my disciple. This kind of on-the-spot observation just called us to open our eyes and pass on the alchemy method to us by the way.

I was thinking about it, when Yu Shun opened his mouth lightly and explained the general outline of the alchemy formula.

"You have all learned the golden pill formula, and you should know that cultivating the true mystical method lies in cultivating the pill. The demon has an inner dan, which can breathe in the aura of heaven and earth, forge skin and flesh, refine muscles and bones, go to the highest depths, soar through the clouds and fog, move mountains and reclaim the sea, no problem. The golden pill formula imitates the changes of the beast and the demon, absorbs the aura into the body, refines the body, removes the turnips, and finally cultivates the golden pill. Whether it is the demon clan's inner pill or the human race's golden pill, they are all generated by internal cultivation, so they are called 'inner pills'. ”

"Since there is an 'inner dan', there is a corresponding 'outer dan'. ”
