Chapter Twenty-Six: Refinement and Shock
This night, Chen Ping'an didn't sleep well at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoYou must know that since Chen Ping'an stepped into the first level of Qi training, there has never been such a situation as now. Early in the morning of the second day, after the regular morning class. Remembering that his family would have an inexplicable task from now on, Chen Ping'an came to the main hall with a sad face.
One after another, several senior brothers from his own family all arrived, and Chen Ping stood quietly in the main hall. Then Ma Changsheng walked in and saw that several of his apprentices had arrived, so he said leisurely: "There is a way, today it will be your turn to go down the mountain to collect ore for your teacher." It's been a critical moment lately, don't let me down!"
Jia Youdao naturally swore that he would do this properly and would definitely not disappoint Ma Changsheng. Ma Changsheng nodded, and said to Chen Ping'an: "Ping'an, today you will go with your second senior brother and them to see how they refine the ore." After that, you will have to deliver ten pieces of refined ore to the master every ten days. ”
Although Chen Ping'an was reluctant in his heart, he would not show it no matter what he said at this time, so he naturally responded with his mouth. After Ma Changsheng explained again, he dismissed everyone. Watching his apprentices gradually move away, Ma Changsheng muttered: "I hope that this time I can successfully refine that flying sword, and then no one in the southern Xinjiang realm will dare to underestimate me." ”
In fact, Ma Changsheng didn't want everyone in the audience to know that he wanted to refine treasures, but he really couldn't spare time for his own family. And that flying sword was like a cat's claw, tickling his heart, even with his years of practice, he couldn't avoid it.
Following behind Ma Er's gang, Chen Ping'an walked without saying a word. Ma Er seems to have something hidden in his heart, if it is according to his previous virtue. If Chen Ping'an was provoked earlier, it would be so quiet.
The four of them came to a small courtyard at the back of the main hall, and Chen Ping'an had heard Jia Youdao mention it before. He said that this was a furnace brought by Master Ma Changsheng from the Yinshan Sect, and it was passed down from the ancestor. It's just that everyone didn't need that thing to refine magic weapons before, and this place is a bit deserted, after all, there are not many people in Maiguan.
As soon as he entered the small courtyard, Ma Er threw a leather roll towards Chen Ping'an. Chen Ping'an bent down to pick it up, and didn't bother with Ma Er. Before you have the strength, it's best to endure it if you can. Ma Er saw that Chen Ping'an didn't show anything abnormal, so he spoke: "This animal skin scroll records a fire control method, you should familiarize yourself with it first." ”
After speaking, Ma Er didn't care about Chen Ping'an, and prepared for himself with the Hu family brothers. Chen Ping'an looked at the animal skin scroll in his hand and found that this so-called fire control technique was really superficial. In just a hundred or so words, it is not a good product at first glance.
After a while, Chen Ping'an also learned the fire control technique on this animal skin roll. Seeing that Ma Er was ready, Chen Ping'an returned the animal skin scroll in his hand to him. Ma Er solemnly put away the animal skin roll, not noticing Chen Ping'an's strange eyes at all.
Ma Er Zhengse said: "Fifth junior brother, you will see how our three senior brothers refine this ore later." Don't be sloppy and won't be able to complete the task by then. Shizun blames it, but don't blame me, the senior brother, for not mentioning you. ”
This matter was repeatedly told by Ma Changsheng, and Chen Ping'an naturally would not be afraid of any tricks played by Ma Er's gang. So he nodded yes, and then stood quietly and watched Ma Er and their next moves.
I didn't see Ma Er make any big moves, just pinched a handprint, and Chen Ping'an saw a flame rising from the stove in the center of the room. As soon as the heat wave hit, Chen Ping'an was suddenly caught off guard and took a few steps back. If this is put aside in the past, then Hu Tao will definitely mock his family. It can be seen that he did not move, and Chen Ping'an also felt a little puzzled.
Finding that the flames in the furnace had gradually stabilized, I saw Ma Er's mana urging a piece of ore the size of a human head into the furnace. The flames kept licking the ore, and Chen Ping'an watched as the ore in the furnace oozed some black residue, and then was refined into nothingness by the flames. The ore is getting smaller and darker. It seems that this ore is almost finished.
Sure enough, after a while, Ma Er pinched his handprint and put this fist-sized piece of ore into his bag. Unable to rest, Ma Er then refined five or six pieces before signaling Hu Hu to step forward to take over his family. Then I saw him sitting cross-legged and meditating and pranayama.
There is no difference between Hu Hu and Ma Er's movements, but one piece is less refined than Ma Er, and it is obviously not as good as Ma Er's mana. His brother Hu Tao was even more unbearable, so he only refined two pieces and then retreated with a pale face.
I only heard Hu Tao say to Ma Er: "Second senior brother, today the junior brother can only refine these two pieces." Ma Er looked at Hu Tao with some pity, and then waved his hand to let him go down. Hu Hu said on the side: "Second senior brother, my brother is not enough, I, as an elder brother, will help him make up for it." ”
Hearing that Hu Hu would help Hu Tao make up for it, Ma Er also sighed and said, "I don't know what treasure my uncle wants to refine." These days, we have refined a lot of ores, but his old man still let us continue to refine. Now even the kid who has cultivated qi is coming over, it's really pitiful!"
Chen Ping'an looked at the back of Hu Tao, feeling a little worried in his heart. Hu Tao was not what he is now, but now that he was ordered by Ma Changsheng to refine any ore, the whole person has become languishing, and he has lost his former spiritual head.
It was Chen Ping'an's turn, although it was his first time refining ore, he didn't feel any difficulties in it. Chen Ping'an looked at the two people in the room who were meditating and pranayama, and slowed down the refining speed slightly. If they find out about their situation, they will attack themselves. The disappearance of Xiao Yuzi and Xiao Quanzi made Chen Ping'an's sense of Mai Guan drop to the extreme.
It is estimated that the play is almost done, and Chen Ping'an took out the ore in the furnace. Ma Er also opened his eyes, and looked at Chen Ping'an's complexion. Ma Er said: "Fifth Senior Brother, why don't you refine a piece again, I think you still have some strength left!" Chen Ping'an said: "Second Senior Brother said that I laughed, Senior Brother, my mana at this time is no longer one in ten." ”
Ma Er said with a slight mockery: "Fifth Senior Brother, you are really serious! Haha, Senior Brother, I'll talk to you about it! Just your cultivation of the first level of Qi cultivation, go down, go down!" Chen Ping'an was not angry, sooner or later one day he would settle accounts with him. He saluted the two brothers and walked out of the room.
I didn't meet the fat and thin Erdao Tong on the road, and it is estimated that he was called to work by Ma Changsheng. Chen Ping'an found some food to eat, and then brought it back to the small courtyard. There was still some distance from the small courtyard, and Chen Ping'an was about to call Xiao Yuzi and Xiao Quanzi. He stopped talking before he was halfway through the shout. Only then did he realize that he had long since disappeared.
Lock the gate and hang up the retreat sign. In this way, unless something big happens, no one will come to disturb Chen Ping'an. Sitting on the bed, Chen Ping'an breathed and recovered his previous consumption.
Lying on the bed with his hands on his pillows, Chen Ping'an secretly calculated in his heart: "I heard Jia Youdao say that it is refining this ore, if the cultivation is insufficient, it will damage the foundation over time. Yesterday I couldn't see it in a hurry, but today I look at Hu Tao, it's like a sick seedling, how can I still have the demeanor of a monk. ”
Thinking that his family might become Hu Tao's virtue in the future, Chen Ping'an shook his head frantically, trying to throw this terrifying picture out of his head. But he thought about it again: "But I don't think it's difficult to refine this ore at home, if it weren't for the fear of revealing the secrets on my body." With the mana I had just left, I can't really refine another piece. ”
Thinking back to the refining process of these three people, Chen Ping'an didn't feel any difference in his own actions. But he didn't give up, kept thinking about it in his mind, and finally let Chen Ping'an find something wrong.
The flames that Ma Er's gang urged were a little different from the flames that they were urging. When refining at home, the flame is more condensed. And when Ma Er's gang refined, it seemed a little illusory. But even if the Qi cultivation mantra of the White Bone Dao that they practiced was a little more advanced than theirs, they didn't estimate it to be that high.
In the end, the difference between the two can only be attributed to the mysterious contemplation. Looking at the eight-armed Buddha in the center of his own sea of knowledge, Chen Ping'an felt a sense of relief, which was where his confidence lies.
Visualizing the long sword in the Buddha's hand, Chen Ping'an's heart burst with joy. It seems that there is a feeling in the dark that I am afraid that it will not be long before my family can manifest this long sword from the sea of knowledge. At that time, his family will definitely ask Ma Er why he wants to calculate Xiao Yuzi and Xiao Quanzi.
Finding that his family would not cause damage to his foundation due to refining ore, the big stone in Chen Ping'an's heart finally fell to the ground. Thinking of Hu Tao's embarrassed appearance again, Chen Ping'an suddenly felt that he was a little ridiculous but a little pitiful. Usually, Hu Tao relies on the momentum of Ma Er and his eldest brother Hu Hu, but he bullies Chen Ping'an and the others. Now because of Ma Changsheng, he has suffered and his foundation has been damaged. But his own family can escape this catastrophe, so Chen Ping'an can't help but gloat in his heart.
The next days were dull and boring, and Chen Ping'an went to that small courtyard every day to refine a piece of ore. After finishing the incident, he immediately returned to his small courtyard to practice in peace. Everyone was busy with the tasks that Ma Changsheng had explained, so there was a lot less intrigue.
But on this day half a month later, Jia Youdao fled back to the mountain covered in blood. Chen Ping'an learned from the mouth of the fat and thin Erdao Tong that Jia Youdao fainted as soon as he arrived at the gate of the temple, and he has not woken up until now. Ma Changsheng instructed them that if Jia Youdao woke up, he would immediately go and tell him.
Looking up at the sky of Wenxiu Mountain, Chen Ping'an muttered, "I'm afraid this day is going to change." ”
