391 Thirteen years
Dealing with medicinal materials, thinking about medicinal properties, configuring prescriptions, and refining elixirs...... After this set of procedures, the time will not be short.
When Bai Xiaosheng sealed the Dan furnace and raised the flame, half a year had passed. This was his first elixir. No, he can't say that the pill is pill, he threw the bead chain into it, and although it is a pill, it is mainly a bead chain.
The absorption of medicinal power by the bead chain is a long-term process, and it takes time to refine the pill in general, and this high-grade elixir is not something that can be practiced in a short time.
Sitting in front of the Dan furnace, Bai Xiaosheng paid attention to the color of the flame, and was always ready to add charcoal. His eyes seemed to be closed, and the whole person seemed to be ignorant, as if he was sleepwalking.
Bai Xiaosheng has no child, all these things can only be done alone, although the front ones are tired, but they are also limited, but this matter of watching the fire can't be sloppy, someone has to be watching and adding firewood at all times, simple but annoying.
He also thought about asking Lin Fengjiao and Qiusheng to help, but neither of them had ever refined Dan, Qiusheng was also young, and the two of them had their own things to do, so watching the fire didn't bother them.
Looking at the brightly colored flames, Bai Xiaosheng sighed: "I wouldn't have been alchemy in the courtyard if I had known." ”
He thought about whether to run into the space to alchemy, but Lin Fengjiao was too enthusiastic and prepared all the qiē, and there was no fire in the space, so he could only imagine going to the alchemy inside, otherwise he wouldn't have to be so boring.
Adding a spoonful of charcoal, Bai Xiaosheng got up and moved, shook his head, walked to the bookshelf on the side, pulled out a book from it, returned to the Dan stove and sat down, reading a book. While watching the fire.
Soon the sound of footsteps sounded. A person pushed the door and walked in and said, "Fellow Daoist." How's it going?"
Bai Xiaosheng turned around and smiled at him, and said, "It's all ready, as long as there is no problem with the fire, there is nothing else." ”
Lin Fengjiao said: "I heard that the most difficult part of alchemy is the step of Cheng Dan, and it is better for Taoist friends to be careful." ”
Bai Xiaosheng was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "What Daoyou reminds me is that I am also a little careless after being busy these days. He didn't say it. The medicine you refine yourself doesn't need to be a pill. He refines medicine, mainly refining the medicinal power in the medicinal materials, and letting it rotate in the closed Dan furnace for the bead chain to absorb. He doesn't need Cheng Dan at all with this hand, how can he have difficulties?
"By the way, didn't Daoyou go out to help Master Wu in the county town see Feng Shui? Why did you come back?" Bai Xiaosheng asked casually.
Lin Fengjiao said: "This little thing can be decided at a glance." He sighed and said, "Most of the people nowadays don't believe in us old things. ”
"Oh, what's going on?" Bai Xiaosheng thought. After all, the entry of Western learning has made middle schools face great challenges, and most of them are even meditated on feudal superstition.
Lin Fengjiao said: "Master Wu's family has a kid who only came back today. What did you learn from the West? The old man knew that he was not in good health, and his son had returned, so he wanted to determine his grave. The kid said. Just find a random place, the old man is not happy. So he asked me to go to Kanyu to find a good tomb. The boy of the Wu family has made me laugh at me a lot......"
Bai Xiaosheng patted him. comforted: "You don't have to be sad, those of us who learn the Tao have always been feudal and superstitious liars in the eyes of secular people. We have to blame those who don't learn and don't know how to do this, otherwise these good things left by our ancestors will not be ruined like this. For those of us, cultivation and inheritance are the most important, and everything else is a little lighter. Daoyou already has a disciple, teach well, live up to what he has learned, and have a clear conscience. ”
Lin Fengjiao nodded, a smile bloomed on her face, and said, "Let Daoyou see and smile." I've seen a lot of these things, but I can't think about them when it comes to the end, and I still don't have enough heart. ”
"Haha...... Who isn't like that? If this doesn't happen to Daoyou, even if I encounter it, I also feel uncomfortable. ”
The two of them were chattering, Bai Xiaosheng thought of a question and asked, "Fellow Daoist, has the time of the original spirit out of body been customized throughout the ages?"
Lin Fengjiao shook her head and said, "It depends on a person's foundation." Those with a thick foundation will take a little longer, and those with a weak foundation will be faster. In our Maoshan records, the earliest out-of-body is three years. Three years, what is enough to do? Dao Youyou has only spent three years preparing these things, you can imagine the consequences of that person. ”
"Oh?" Bai Xiaosheng was happy, and said, "What about the one who has been out of the body for the longest time?"
Lin Fengjiao said: "Eighteen years!"
"Eighteen years!" Bai Xiaosheng muttered, muttering to himself.
Lin Fengjiao followed: "Yes, it's eighteen years! When we cultivators condense the primordial spirit, there will be an out-of-body experience, which is a sign of the unity of heaven and man, and I think Daoist friends have already experienced it." This first out-of-body experience, what you see will sink into the depths of the Yuan Shen and be gradually digested and absorbed by the Yuan Shen. Those who have a deep foundation will get more naturally, and the digestion time will be longer, and vice versa. The second out-of-body is different from the first, the first time is the condensation of the original spirit, the power explodes, and it will not affect itself, but the second time needs the support of the real power of measurement. If you condense the golden pill early, you are naturally not afraid, and if you don't condense the golden pill, you can only take the path of the outer dan. Judging from my Maoshan records, the harvest of Daoyou this time is enough to support the Yuanshen out of the body. ”
Bai Xiaosheng had also discussed these things with Simu, Master Yixiu and others before, and heard them talk about them.
The Yuan Shen is condensed and penetrates the power of heaven and earth, so for the first time, there is the energy of heaven and earth, which does not need to consume its own energy, and will also help itself. The second time he went out of the body, it was the primordial spirit that flew out of his body and traveled between heaven and earth, which naturally needed energy support. After this time, there will be a third and fourth time, but the further you go, the lower the difficulty of getting out of the body, and as you go out of the body again and again, you will also increase your control over your Yuan Shen until you are handy and minimize the energy consumed by the Yuan Shen.
At that time, the original spirit will not go out of the body at will, but if you want him to go out of the body, you will go out of the body, and if you don't want to, you will not move.
This is the first step in the cultivation of the Yuan Shen Realm. This step is not too dangerous for authentic Buddhist monks, and when it comes to danger, it is a left-handed monk like Bai Xiaosheng.
And. It is also from this step that there will be a clear difference in the cultivation of the two.
Authentic Buddhist monk after taking the first step of the original spirit out of the body. The Yuan Shen will be completely stabilized and condensed with the golden pill. The rest of the effort is to polish the golden pill and nourish the original spirit, until the golden pill turns into a baby.
In fact, Jindan is the most prosperous state of a person's true strength, in modern terms, gaseous, liquid, solid, and solid, the solid state is the highest, isn't it?
The same is true of simplicity, and the infant that has been transformed later. It's not based on true power, but on the original spirit. To put it bluntly, this is a baby born from within you, and this baby is God, not force.
Bai Xiaosheng's Dharma Protector cultivation is the opposite, after he controls the Yuan Shen, he needs to completely imprison the Yuan Shen in the body, run in the two, and let the body absorb the power of the Yuan Shen little by little. Satisfactory state. It is that the two are completely one, and there is no longer any separation from the other. This is definitely a long-term water grinding effort, and it is also at the beginning, the combat power of a monk like him will be relatively high. But the pace of progress is slow. On the contrary, authentic Genshin Taoist priests will progress quickly, especially those with outstanding talents. All it takes is an epiphany to be a realm.
To put it simply, the path of Dharma protector is taken by fools. As long as you're diligent enough, that's it. And the road of the original god. It's genius who walks. It seems that the two are not superior, but this one is not an idiot, who will choose the former. Therefore, throughout the ages, when the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism choose to protect the Dharma, they will also choose those who are physically outstanding.
After seventy-seven forty-nine, Bai Xiaosheng opened the furnace, and in the Dan furnace, only the medicinal residue remained, covering the beads inside. pills, but not even a single pill. This made Lin Fengjiao on the side feel sorry, and at the same time comforted Bai Xiaosheng and said: "Fellow Daoist, alchemy is not a simple matter, if you fail this time, you can succeed next time." ”
Bai Xiaosheng laughed secretly when he said this, failed? That's what you think, I didn't fail.
After Lin Fengjiao left, Bai Xiaosheng took out the beads in the medicine residue. This string of beads looks very different from before, but the beads that were originally wooden have a crystal clear roundness.
Their nature has changed.
Soon, Bai Xiaosheng put the prepared second furnace of pills into the pills, started a fire again, and refined the second furnace of pills.
His slightly frizzy movements made Lin Fengjiao frown secretly, but when he saw Bai Xiaosheng's gritted teeth, he didn't persuade him, just shook his head and sighed. In his opinion, alchemy can't be messed up, just like cultivation, if you mess up, you won't have any gains, and you may even put yourself in and out. Bai Xiaosheng didn't take it himself, it was the medicinal herbs. That's wasteful enough.
Sure enough, just as Lin Fengjiao thought, Bai Xiaosheng's second furnace of elixir was also scrapped. At this time, he solemnly persuaded Bai Xiaosheng and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are too anxious. I think you should take a break, turn around, summarize the gains and losses, and then think about alchemy. ”
Bai Xiaosheng had already laughed in his heart, but looking at Lin Fengjiao's appearance, he knew that it was for his good, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know." ”
Lin Fengjiao nodded, he saw that Bai Xiaosheng was really not stuffy inside, but came out to bask in the sun, and smiled very gratefully.
As everyone knows, Bai Xiaosheng is basking in the sun, looking at the string of beads, and he is amazed.
After two alchemies, the bead string absorbed a lot of medicinal power and changed, the first time it was not obvious, but it had that feeling, but after it came out this time, the material of the beads completely changed, not only did it not feel like wood, it didn't look like it, it didn't look like it, it made ice lumps a bit.
In his mind, this thing will be sacrificed once or twice, and it will become jade polished.
It's really strange, but I don't know how to explain the changes? With his mouth shut, Bai Xiaosheng held the beads comfortably with his right hand, and the person was lying on the recliner, shaking and shaking.
After resting for half a month, Bai Xiaosheng opened the third furnace of pills, and this time, he succeeded and refined seven pills, which had a strong medicinal fragrance.
Looking at these seven dripping golden pills, Bai Xiaosheng was very satisfied. This is his realization, and it is his summary of alchemy. This furnace of elixir was called the Kailing Pill by him, which he summed up according to the medicinal properties and the prescriptions he knew, and he didn't think of it once and succeeded.
"It seems that I have a lot of talent for alchemy......" Holding the pill, Bai Xiaosheng was very proud, he took out two of them, handed them to Lin Fengjiao, and said, "Fellow Daoist, thanks to your help, I am so smooth." These two pills are my thank you. ”
Lin Fengjiao also looked at the two golden pills with great joy, he had never seen such a lustrous golden pill, and in today's Maoshan Mountain, it seems that no one can refine such a good quality golden pill.
In fact, Maoshan is not good at alchemy at all!
With this furnace of elixir, Lin Fengjiao was relieved, and her observation of Bai Xiaosheng was also relaxed, and Bai Xiaosheng took advantage of this to open another furnace of elixir, in his words, it was to make persistent efforts. It's a pity that his furnace of elixir failed, which made Lin Fengjiao sigh again about the difficulty of alchemy.
Bai Xiaosheng just smiled, but if you pay attention to his wrist when he is not alchemizing, you will find that the material of the bead string he carries there has changed again. The misty beads became crystal clear, just not transparent enough. I believe that as long as you do it again, this string of beads will become glass beads.
Bai Xiaosheng prepared a lot of medicinal materials, and he used these medicinal materials to open the furnace seven times, succeeding twice and failing five times. This success rate seems to be very low, but don't forget, what he is refining is not an ordinary pill. Although Lin Fengjiao was a pity over there, she also secretly sighed, saying that Bai Xiaosheng was a genius in alchemy, and if he wanted to focus on this aspect, he would definitely achieve success.
But he didn't say it, he just thought about it behind his back.
After running out of pills, two years have passed, and Bai Xiaosheng also said goodbye again, saying that he was going out to look for pills, and he also brought the pill furnace, saying that he could refine the pill while looking for medicinal materials, just in case.
Lin Fengjiao also recognized his decision, because it had been more than five years, who knows when Bai Xiaosheng's out-of-body will come, prepare more, and have more guarantees!
And Bai Xiaosheng's departure is about seven years. There were thirteen years in total. (To be continued......)
