I saw Mu Qingzi twist his beard and sighed: "Although it is difficult to build a foundation, in these years, there is still a way to let some disciples with extraordinary qualifications who can cultivate to the Great Perfection of Qi cultivation build a foundation." ”

"Oh?" said Old Mai, intrigued.

Mu Qingzi raised his voice word by word and said, "Have you ever heard of Tsukidan?"

Lao Mai naturally hadn't heard of it, so he shook his head.

Mu Qingzi said with a smile: "In this world, there are still several medicinal materials that survive to refine the Zhuji Pill. ”

"Zhuji Dan medicinal materials?" Lao Mai asked, "Then where can I pick these medicinal materials?" Naturally, he didn't need it himself, so he just asked casually.

Lao Dao shook his head and said: "Now the wild is no longer able to pick, on the current general water, soil and air environment, self-growth is basically not able to survive, must be opened in some light, soil, rainwater suitable places to open up medicine gardens, special people to plant alone, after ten years of cultivation can mature, and then collect into medicine alchemy." ”

Lao Mai remembered the alchemy furnace that appeared in the movies and TV series of the world, and then asked: "Is this alchemy made with an alchemy furnace?"

Mu Qingzi laughed and said: "Daoyou when the pill is all refined by Taishang Laojun Alchemy Furnace, in fact, it is just a myth and legend, maybe that kind of alchemy method will only exist in the spirit world and the fairy world, as for burning lead and refining mercury, it is just a pill method for ancient monks to deceive the world and steal their fame, in fact, it is an attempt to turn stones into blonde fortune, and in the end it was unintentional to invent explosives." ”

Old Mai asked with interest, "Then how did you refine the pill?"

Lao Daomu Qingzi said with a smile: "It's easy to say, mash the medicinal materials in the medicine mortar, put them in the medicine jar and add rootless water to boil and let them cool, and knead them into pills, which is similar to the traditional Chinese medicine method of refining pills, but the ingredients are different, the key is the medicinal materials rather than the refining method." ”

"Oh," Lao Mai also knows what rootless water is, in fact, it is clean rainwater without pollution, this kind of rain is basically absent in modern times, and the clouds and air in the sky are full of particulate pollutants released by the civilized world.

He couldn't help but think of the martial arts novels he had read before, where those martial arts aliens rubbed a handful of old mud from their bodies, pinched them into black pills and stuffed them into other people's mouths, saying that they were a panacea for all diseases.

Mu Qingzi suddenly asked, "Do you know the intention of the poor Dao to come to the cold house tonight?"

Lao Mai smiled: "You won't just sit and talk about tea, right?"

Mu Qingzi said a little bit of Ai Ai: "Naturally more than these, the poor road that day I met Mai Daoyou, it can be described as a coincidence, when I talked about it, I felt that it was very deed, after returning to the mountain, I thought about it for a few days, and then I had an idea, that is, I want to recognize Daoyou as a junior brother, I don't know if it is possible?"

"Hehe, it's true that Daoist cultivation is higher than that of poor Dao, so it's a bit arrogant," his eyes lit up after he finished speaking, and the intention of solicitation was undoubtedly revealed, and he stared at Lao Mai expectantly.

Lao Mai couldn't help but hear this unexpected proposal, and couldn't help but cry: "This, this, Daoist, do you want to become a Taoist priest in the next home?"

"NO, NO, no, non, non, and then say that transcendence is a Buddhist saying," Mu Qingzi, a veteran who is very up-to-date with the times, laughed and said, "Poor Dao was originally led by the government, but it was just convenient to walk the rivers and lakes, hang a single Taoist temple, and occasionally have a place to live, and being the master of the Wuxiang Taoist Temple is also a secular identity that is covered, in fact, the poor Taoist is just a Taoist cultivator, not a Taoist person."

"As the saying goes: Buddha cultivates reincarnation, Tao cultivates longevity, for cultivation, for longevity, do whatever you want, do everything, believe in the law of the jungle where the strong are respected, useful is the truth, don't take care of so much, what is beneficial to cultivation is just how to do it. ”

Lao Mai frowned and touched his chin and thought about it, it seems that this old Tao has no evil intentions, and he is also very free and easy, he got the Tao by chance, and he has nothing to belong to, even if he admits it first, he stood up straight from the futon sitting cross-legged, wrapped his left palm with his right palm, took a deep look, and said respectfully: "Senior brother Megard meets senior brother! ”

Mu Qingzi was still sitting cross-legged on the futon, holding his right palm and bowing his left hand in return, and nodded: "Senior brother doesn't need to be polite, sit down quickly." ”

When Lao Mai sat down again, the old Taoist Mu Qingzi smiled and said: "Since you and I have become senior brothers, those vulgar etiquette do not need to be restricted, you are still your own Taoist priest, and your junior brother is still your government official." ”

Lao Mai bowed slightly, and since he had decided to worship Lao Daomu Qingzi as his senior brother, he didn't say anything more, and just listened to his brother's teachings.

I saw that Mu Qingzi put his hands on his knees and said: "The junior brother has entered the sect today, and in the future, he will choose Ji to worship the ancestor, and then enter it into the sect portal.

"This door was founded more than 1,800 years ago, the name of the sect is called Jinshi Zong, the founding ancestor is two brothers, one partial metallic, one partial earth attributes, a strange fate, the brothers together to cultivate to the foundation period, then founded this door.

About 1,200 years ago, the fourth generation had a disciple with the Taoist name Xuanjizi, he was a pure wood attribute, with outstanding qualifications, and practiced for less than a hundred years, and it was already a breakthrough to the early stage of Jindan.

"It was the only Jindan period that appeared for many years, shaking the cultivation world at that time, but then it was nowhere to be found, which is very sad, and then more than a thousand years later, no one in the entire Middle Earth cultivation world has been able to walk to the Jindan Avenue.

"Although the generation of disciples of the elder brother is now only left with their own bodies, they were still a few junior brothers in the division at the beginning, the poorest and the smallest, there are still five senior brothers above, but it is a pity that their cultivation stays at the peak of the qi refining period, and they have never been able to break through the foundation.

"Over the past hundred years, I am still trying my best to carry forward the sect, and there are currently hundreds of disciples and grandchildren, who are six for the brother in the sect, and the sect master is the master, and today, when the world is respected as the sixth ancestor, the younger brother you are here, you should be the seventh, that is, the seventh ancestor. ”

When Lao Mai heard the music, he thought that he had come here to be a junior brother, but he didn't want to get mixed with a seventh ancestor to do it.

Mu Qingzi continued: "Brother Wei is a person who has entered the world, and has a wide range of involvement with the world, and he makes a living, in addition to the Wuxiang Taoist Temple and the headquarters of this villa and villa, there are still many industries in the world, such as medical halls and medicines, native industries, metal recycling, wood processing, etc., all over the various towns and villages in the south of the country, and places suitable for collecting medicinal materials abroad, and some industries and even some islands or something. ”

Lao Mai heard him say that the Jinshi Sect was like a hodgepodge group, and couldn't help but gasp and ask: "Senior brother, I majored in finance and economics when I was in school, and other financial resources can understand, but this metal recycling and wood processing don't seem to be very profitable, and the headquarters is located in our marginal province and city, which is not very suitable in terms of business decision-making." ”

Mu Qingzi said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a matter of money or not, it's for the sake of cultivation resources, modern cultivation resources are scarce, most of them are substitutes, most of the contemporary disciples are biased towards metallicity and wood attributes, metal recycling includes mining and wood processing, and wood processing includes forest felling, all of which are used to refine auxiliary alternative materials for cultivation." ”

When Lao Mai heard this, he understood what was going on, and stopped interjecting and continued to listen to him.

Mu Qingzi paused for a while, and then said again: "The previous headquarters is not here, but it was only moved back more than ten years ago. ”

Lao Mai heard him say very sadly, and his mood was a little heavy, and he suddenly remembered something, and asked: "But senior brother, I heard that your accent is quite like a northerner, could it be .......?"

Mu Qingzi said: "This brother was taken to the north by his parents to do business since he was a child, and later showed his talent for cultivation, and he was admitted to the sect for his first teacher, and he traveled in the northern provinces for more than 100 years, and his accent changed early. ”

breathed a sigh of relief, only to see him forget his feelings and groaned: "I have been away from my hometown for a hundred and ten years, my sideburns have not faded and my hometown has changed, and the former master introduced me into the door, how do I know that I am a mediocre talent." ”

Mu Qingzi sighed and closed his eyes.

At this time, the boy who walked quietly like a cat came in to add tea and water, and Lao Mai Pan sat and drank tea by himself, leaving the old Mu Qingzi silent.

After a long time, Mu Qingzi opened his eyes and said with a smile: "It's late at night, junior brother is tired, let's rest here tonight, and arrange a place for my brother." ”

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and brushed it on a wooden pillar, and Lao Mai, who was sitting opposite, faintly heard a bell ringing a few times in the distance.

Mu Qingzi slowly stood up and said, "Senior brother, let's go out, while walking, I will talk to you about some things that the sect will arrange in the near future." ”

Because the next day is a weekend Sunday, the old Mai stayed in the villa villa overnight, the next morning, the old Taoist Mu Qingzi took the boy back to the Wuxiang Taoist Temple, before leaving to explain to him, since he is alone, it is best to move here to live permanently, just like his own house.

Although this villa villa is the headquarters of the Jinshi Sect, in fact, except for some servants and disciples of the outer sect, no one usually comes, and it is only used as a place for the sect to concentrate on activities.

Mu Qingzi felt that there were usually no people in charge of things, only some people were left to clean, no one was in charge, and it would inevitably be abandoned after a long time.

Lao Mai himself also felt that as a cultivator, the concept of family was indifferent, and there was a place to meditate, and in ancient times, where cultivators went, they would build a simple cave house, so they decided to move here to stay permanently, and the house they just bought was their own, or they lived in it or rented it casually.

So on Saturday afternoon, he asked Ah Guang to take people to help move, take away the computers and other things that can be used, and take the vacant house and large pieces of furniture for rent, and the housing rental market at that time could also get a rent of 800 yuan a month.

Originally, Lao Daomu Qingzi wanted to give him the newly bought Santana 2000 for his exclusive use, saying that it was in line with his identity, but Lao Dao himself often took a new Lincoln brand car smuggled in, and there was a Grand Cherokee imported from the United States to prepare for going out and climbing the mountain.

But Lao Mai said that the car was parked too conspicuously in the agency, so it was left to Ah Guang to use, and he still drove the small Wuling car insurance of the unit, which was not eye-catching, and he went in and out like a tool car in a canteen to buy vegetables and pull goods.
