"Silver-eating ghost? The one with the corpse tiger king?"
Lin Jue was surprised and alert, staring at it closely.
The fox also jumped onto the bookshelf lightly, squatted on the top edge of the bookshelf, and stared at the silver-eating ghost with his head crookedly lowered. It seemed that he only had clear curiosity in his eyes, but in fact, he could jump down at any time depending on the situation or Lin Jue's command.
It catches. It seems to be its instinct.
"The real person is calm, and the little one has no ability to harm others. Even if he is an ordinary strong man, the little one may not be able to beat him, let alone the real person and this... this..."
The big-headed ghost raised his head and glanced at the fox who was bowing his head on the bookshelf. He felt extremely nervous and immediately lowered his head:
"Not to mention the little one was seriously injured..."
"Don't talk nonsense! Whatever I ask, you answer!"
In fact, Lin Jue could vaguely feel that this ghost probably didn't have much fighting power, but he didn't let down his guard either.
"Yes, yes...please ask me, real person..."
"How did you get here?"
"The little one is hidden in the real man's sword..."
"Of course I know this! What I'm asking is, how could you hide in my sword? When did you meet me, why didn't I know?"
"Near Dangshan..."
"Dangshan?"
Lin Jue frowned, that was near Li Village and Gong Village.
Didn't it come from the Yaksha ghost?
"Aren't you at the Corpse Tiger King's place?"
"It turns out yes, but the little one has been imprisoned by the tiger demon for a long time. The tiger demon gave me some smelly money every day. Even after it became the demon king, it was obvious that the elixir I spit out was completely useless to it, but it still
He refused to let me go, and used the elixir I vomited to cultivate demon soldiers and generals for him. The little one could no longer bear it. So when it was wiped out by the god and the whole mountain was in chaos, he tried his best to escape."
"Then why did you choose my sword?"
"It's because the real person is powerful!"
The big-headed ghost raised his head, but his face was not flattering, but very serious.
"Nonsense!" Lin Jue waved, took back his sword, held it in his hand and stared at him, "Who am I to be a real person? How am I to be a powerful person?"
"Why should the real person deceive me? Outside of Dangshan Mountain, I saw with my own eyes that the empress sent the dharma body and sent down the five-color spiritual light, which removed all the evil spirits and evil things in Dangshan Mountain! I searched hard for the empress and could not find it, but I saw the empress in the real person.
With the few strands of aura left behind, I naturally know that the empress must be related to the real person!" Shiyin Gui said, "If it can be related to the empress, and I can invite the empress to take action, why should the real person deceive me?"
Does this have anything to do with Empress Yaohua?
Lin Jue seemed to understand a little better.
After thinking for a moment, he continued to ask: "Then what did you do with the empress after you escaped from the Tiger King?"
"Of course we have to find the empress! We have to find the empress! When the little one was imprisoned by the tiger demon, he chanted the title of the empress every day!"
"Why?"
"What the real person doesn't know is that the little one is a man-made ghost of alchemy. It is born to eat silver, and after eating it, it will spit out the elixir. It was originally for good when it was created, and it was also prepared to help orthodox practitioners, but unexpectedly it turned out later
Sixty-seven out of ten times, they will all be attacked by evil spirits.
In this way, monsters like Xiao Xiao, who are born with treasures and are weak, can only live a stable life if they find someone as powerful as the empress, who has both moral conduct and virtue. Otherwise, even if they escape from this tiger monster,
There will be another tiger demon."
This is pretty much what Lin Jue thought.
"Then you have found the wrong person." Lin Jue temporarily put away the sword and did not point at it, but still held it in his hand, "I am not a real person, nor a powerful person, just an ordinary Taoist.
"
"How can you be an ordinary Taoist when your empress, who has not been seen for many years, can show her Dharma body to help you and be accompanied by her descendants?" Shi Yin Gui didn't believe it.
"There is no need to tell you more," Lin Jue said, "but I see you are pitiful, so I can point you to a way: this is the territory of Yishan Mountain, and the mountain god of Yishan Mountain is also a man of morality and ethics. Not to mention his old man.
You have long ignored worldly affairs. Even if you don’t seek refuge from the mountain gods, you can still live peacefully in Yishan Mountain. There are countless spirits who are protected by the mountain gods in this mountain and can practice their lives peacefully."
"Master, please don't hand me over!"
This silver-eating ghost seemed to have had a similar experience before. He seemed to be stimulated and frightened:
"I only believe in you!"
"..."
Lin Jue could understand it.
For monsters like it, although the elixir it spits out is useless to people who have attained enlightenment and become real people, it is only of no use to the real people themselves. If you really don't care about it at all, either you really don't care about it at all.
If you meet a virtuous and upright practitioner, you may be someone like the Yaohua Empress.
And it can be heard that the empress has a very high status in its heart.
"A clear lesson from the real person! Although the little one was possessed by the Tiger King before, he is still just a little devil of the alchemy world. Eating silver and spitting out pills is a natural thing. The Tiger King is imprisoned by me, and all the evil things he has done have nothing to do with me!
"
The silver-eating ghost seemed to see the reason for his attitude. He huddled in the corner and begged him for mercy and said:
"Please, Master, keep me by your side! No matter if Master is really an ordinary Taoist or someone who has gone through many calamities and re-cultivation, after I recover from my injury, I can spit out spiritual elixirs by swallowing silver, which can help my practice. If you have any concerns, Master, after I recover from my injury,
Just let me go, I can't thank you enough. Or next time I see Empress Yaohua, you can dedicate me to her, and she will be able to tell the good and evil of my heart."
After hearing this, Lin Jue fell into thinking.
The silver-eating ghost huddled against the wall, shivering, as if waiting for judgment.
Because the head is big, it shakes its head when it shakes.
The fox was still lying on the bookshelf above, tilting his head to look at it, as if he had judged that it was no longer a threat, and kept shaking his head on the bookshelf, imitating its trembling appearance.
"It's not impossible. It just so happens that I want to find Empress Yaohua." Lin Jue said while looking at its expression.
"That would be best!"
"Heh, it doesn't look like you're cheating."
"It's definitely not fake!"
"Then why don't you want to surrender to the gods?"
"The gods also change. If they imprison me, I will come out one day and cause trouble, so they will definitely kill me!"
"Um……"
Lin Jue thought about the reason.
"Master, just give me a hiding place, and I will recover slowly." Silver-eating Ghost wanted to persuade him, and said weakly, "It would be better if I could have a little bit of silver every month."
"That elixir..." Lin Jue couldn't help but be curious, "Can it really increase your Taoism?"
"nature."
"Is it really Lingyuan Dan?"
"Probably."
"perhaps?"
"Zhenzhen Mingjian. If it is a pure Lingyuan Dan, it will have no side effects. You only need to control the dosage. Small ones can also spit out pure Lingyuan Dan, but the silver must be properly obtained. If the silver is stained
If it is full of blood, it will smell extremely fishy when eaten. If
It smells like rancidity if it is stained by deception and plunder. It also tastes wrong if it is stained with other things. If you eat such silver, the Lingyuan Pill you spit out will also be contaminated with "miscellaneous gas".
If you eat such Lingyuan Pill, you will be affected by these impurities."
"Is this still a strange thing?"
"Alchemy has always been like this." The Silver-eating Ghost said to him, "In ancient times, there was a saying: If you practice the best elixir, eight ounces of virtue, half a pound of good deeds, seven exquisite orifices, nine-colored glazed glass, and ten carts of mantras,
Hundreds of years of hard work are all raw materials. This is an exaggeration, but it also makes sense."
"I have only heard of clouds and mist, and sunset light."
"There are so many mysteries in the way of alchemy."
"Then Tiger King..."
"The Tiger King has been evil since he gained the Tao. The silver he fed me came from all sources, and he didn't care about the amount of the medicine. He took it as food, so naturally he went further and further."
"Um……"
Lin Jue continued to think.
From what it sounds like, this silver-eating ghost was created by a powerful alchemist, and it does seem like it was prepared to help decent practitioners.
There are as many restrictions as you might imagine.
However, people's hearts are complicated, and evil people and demons don't care whether their spiritual path goes astray.
"Real person?"
"Actually, I've heard about you a long time ago. I knew you would take Yin Tu Dan, and I knew this medicine could improve your spiritual practice." Lin Jue said, then paused, "I can't tell you whether you are good or evil, but I don't want to deduce it either.
You go into the pit of fire. If I can really see Empress Yaohua one day, I will hand you over to her."
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master! Please keep it a secret for me, don't tell others about it easily! Just in case there is any accident!"
"But I have to say yes-"
"Seriously, please tell me."
"It's okay if you recover from your injuries here. If you are discovered by someone, for example, if the gods come to find you, the most I can do is let you escape, and I will never protect you. Of course, correspondingly, if you want to leave after your injuries, I will also
I will never imprison and raise you like the Tiger King, and you can leave at any time. But if you want to stay by my side, and I also want to see the Lingyuan Pill that swallows silver and spits it out, we can exchange it."
"Hiss! This is natural!"
After hearing what he said, the big-headed ghost actually became serious and even sat upright.
"I have something that is better at containing ghosts. It may be more comfortable to stay with than this iron sword."
Lin Jue took out a statue from the bookshelf.
He is a warrior carved from wood, wearing a helmet and armor, but the armor is also made of wood.
This was the spiritual tree that the third senior brother gave him to practice at that time, and he also completed the sacrificial refining. Originally, sacred trees such as Danguomu were rare but hard to find, and thick trunks were even more difficult to obtain. At the same time, during the Taiping years, trees like Li Zu
Such a Taoist tree demon is not easy to see, so according to the process, Lin Jue's first bean soldier is likely to be it.
Unexpectedly, later there was Danguo wood, and now there is also the wood heart given by Lizu himself.
This can probably only be placed on a bookshelf as an ornament.
It's a bit heartbreaking to say -
After all, it took a lot of effort and mana.
It's just the right time to install it now.
"Thank you, real person!"
The Silver-eating Ghost thanked him first, and then looked up at him and then at the fox on the bookshelf. He opened his pitiful big eyes like a child: "The small injury hasn't healed yet, and I can't spit out the pill before it heals."
…”
"I'm not an evil person."
Lin Jue waved his hand casually.
"Thank you, real person!"
As soon as the silver-eating ghost turned around, it turned into a plume of black smoke and immediately got into the wood carving.
Lin Jue put it on the bookshelf again.
"Suddenly..."
The fox then jumped down.
But he immediately stood up from the bookshelf, got closer to look at the wood carving, and stretched out his paws to touch it out of curiosity.
"etc!"
The fox tilted his head to look at him.
"Better put it in the drawer."
"Hey!"
There is a drawer under the bookshelf. The sixth brother made it very delicately. The fox picked up the wood carving in his mouth, used his paws to pick the ring on the drawer, opened the drawer, put it in, and pushed the drawer to close it.
Looks very well-behaved.
After closing it, I looked closer, as if to see if it was closed properly, and as if I was curious about how this thing was made and how it could be opened and closed.
So there is more cleverness in the cuteness.
Lin Jue sat back on the bed and started thinking.
After learning the art of alchemy from my second senior brother, I naturally knew that Lingyuan Pill was actually a relatively advanced elixir. Generally, only specialized alchemy inheritance would have this kind of elixir recipe - maybe Jiulong Temple has one, but at least Fuqiu
There is no contemplation, and the second senior brother does not know how to practice.
In fact, Lingyuan Dan has side effects.
But not for alchemy monks.
The trick lies in the "taking" method.
Therefore, alchemy monks in ancient times could give everything to elixirs, and even take elixirs to become immortals, and even become powerful and powerful immortals.
As for whether the silver-eating ghost's description of the Lingyuan Pill it spit out was correct or not, Lin Jue only had to give it a try and the ancient book would give him the answer right away.
I don't know when I fell asleep.
…
The next morning, I had sauerkraut and shredded pork noodles.
During the autumn and winter seasons, the mountains are as colorful as the mountain flowers in spring. In summer, some trees look unremarkable. At this time, the leaves turn red and grow on the mountain cliffs, hidden in the forest.
The junior sister finished washing the dishes and her hands were a little red. As soon as she wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen, she saw her senior brother carrying his heavy hatchet and walking up the mountain with the fox.
"Brother, where are you going?"
"My heart is a little restless, so I went to the mountain to chop wood."
"Wait for me! I'll go too!"
The junior sister said without hesitation.
There is also a hatchet in the Taoist temple, which has been passed down for many years.
The little junior sister who had just finished washing the dishes didn't need to rest at all. She followed him up the mountain with a hatchet and a hemp rope.
One person is followed by a white fox.
Behind one person was a colorful raccoon cat.
"Aren't you going to build the road?"
"Originally, I was going to build a road. I felt a little uneasy, so I went to the mountain to build a road." The junior sister did not forget to imitate his words when explaining, "But when I saw you go to chop firewood, senior brother, I went to chop firewood with you."
"
"You..."
Lin Jue didn't say anything.
After a trip down the mountain, I saw a lot, learned a lot, and learned a lot. It’s normal to feel a little uneasy.
To practice Taoism, one should have a calm mind.
Chapter completed!
