"Thank you for your hospitality, Master!" Yang Di, on behalf of everyone, walked over and gave a salute, smiling politely.
"Please sit down and have tea!" The old monk smiled and nodded.
Afterwards, everyone was no longer cautious. After climbing for several hours, they were indeed a little tired. After sitting down, they drank tea all night and felt refreshed!
The sun is shining brightly and it is very hot on the mountain road, but here, it is very cool under the shade of the trees, and there is also a refreshing and refreshing atmosphere here, as if the whole person has relaxed after entering the temple.
What a powerful spiritual formation! Yang Di was shocked. This was by no means a natural environment. It was probably the work of an expert. There were many hard rocks on the Kunlun Mountains, but the surroundings of the temple were full of life, with ancient trees and lush greenery.
"Master, why doesn't this temple have a plaque?" Yang Di was very curious. When he came in just now, the eaves of the main entrance were obviously bare, without even an inscription.
There are no stone tablets around the door.
Even after entering, Yang Di and the others suddenly discovered that both the main hall dedicated to the Buddha and the Zen rooms here were extremely simple, with no plaques hanging and no calligraphy and painting decorations inside.
Despite this, the entire temple already exudes an ancient atmosphere, simple and natural, as if it is integrated with this mountain.
"It's just an unknown place, and it's not a treasure temple, so why bother with those illusory things?" The old monk explained with a calm smile.
"What about the monks in your temple? Why are there no traces?" Yang Di was dumbfounded, but the old monk could see clearly.
"There are no monks. Only a few disciples of Lao Monk live here permanently. However, except for the young disciple Lingxi, the other disciples have all gone down the mountain to practice in the world. They will not come back until the beginning of winter at the earliest." The old monk told the truth.
Next, Yang Di and others chatted a lot with the old and young monks.
The delicate little monk was very shy and didn't like to talk much, but the old monk had no taboos and talked about everything. He even talked to Yang Di and others about many ancient Kunlun allusions and shared many of his own opinions.
The old monk said that in the legendary Kunlun Mountains, there is the Wuji Taoist Temple, the Ten Thousand Gods Palace, the Eight Immortals Temple, the Qizhen Ancestral Palace, and the Jade Emperor Pavilion. These are not groundless rumors, but there are related clues. Some
At that time, those monuments had appeared in the Kunlun Mountains, but they were full of mysterious and ancient colors, erratic and unknown to the world.
Even today's monastic community is quite puzzled by the elusive monuments. Some people speculate that they are just strange images projected by ancient Taoism, while others firmly believe that those monuments are still hidden in the Kunlun Mountains.
Yang Di felt that he had gained a lot, and was also quite surprised by the old monk's casual and peaceful attitude. It was really strange to meet such a broad-minded monk in such a secluded place.
"The benefactor's body contains pure yang, and the soul power is majestic. I think he should be in the alchemy field. He has profound knowledge and is hard to find in the world!" After chatting for a long time, the old monk narrowed his eyes, smiled calmly, and said his own
Feel.
"Haha, the master is over praised, it's just some minor skills." Yang Di was startled, then shook his head and said modestly.
As expected, he was an expert, and he could see the clues about himself at a glance. Yang Di's understanding of this old monk couldn't help but reach a new level. He felt that the old man was probably not an unknown person in the monastic world.
"Donor, would you like to have a good relationship with me?" the old monk said calmly.
"I wonder what the master is referring to?" Yang Di was surprised. The old monk was indeed prepared for their arrival.
"I have lived in vain for more than three hundred years. I am still living in this world. I still want to live in this world to understand some of my wishes. I want to ask the donor for a golden elixir for longevity." The old monk did not mince words and said frankly that he had something.
What you want.
"This..." Yang Di looked strange. This old monk was so frank, but the request he made really left Yang Di speechless.
Yishou Dan is a high-quality elixir. Yang Di had used it to extend life for the elderly Xia Zhenxiong and others, and the effect was good.
However, what the old monk wanted to obtain was not this. What he wanted was the golden elixir of longevity.
This is a bit scary. Most of the true elixirs can be further extracted and refined to reach the terrifying level of golden elixirs.
But as long as it is a golden elixir, it must be at the level of a great elixir. Regardless of whether he is willing to help or not, at present, Yang Di still lacks many conditions for refining the elixir.
First of all, his cultivation level is a little low and the failure rate is too high. Secondly, he lacks a strong enough tripod. At least he has to engrave Dao patterns on the three-legged tripod to sublimate it in order to meet the conditions.
Also, the auxiliary ingredients required for the Great Spiritual Pill can be replaced by the Spiritual Base Liquid, but the main ingredient must be solved!
And in Yang Di's opinion, this old monk is really free and easy. Other eminent monks can't see through life and death, but this old monk bluntly said that he is now afraid of death, which is indeed a bit surprising!
"If the benefactor is willing to help, I can give him many rare elixirs. In the future, if the benefactor returns to the world and encounters trouble, as long as he doesn't harm the world, he can ask his disciples for help!" the old monk said with a smile,
Many benefits were promised.
"My master has several drawers of elixirs, including gentian, jade snake orchid, and Tianling aesculus. If you help, you will definitely not suffer!" The shy little monk rolled his big black eyes.
, intercede for his master.
"Gulu!"
Hearing what the young monk said, Yang Di couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Every one of those precious elixirs made his mouth water. They could be used to refine many very powerful elixirs.
Even Ye Shenyu was secretly frightened. She didn't expect that the old monk's collection was so rich and even more powerful than hers. Precious medicines such as gentian grass and jade snake orchid may have been extinct in the world for a long time.
"Master, to be honest, if I want to refine the longevity elixir, it still lacks some heat, and it will take at least a while." After being excited, Yang Di smiled bitterly and shook his head. The old monk made things very simple. To put it bluntly,
trade.
This actually made him happy to talk in detail. After all, everyone has their own needs and there is no point in letting good things slip away.
But the problem is that he really can't refine the longevity elixir at the moment, so he hastily agreed, and if he fails to fulfill his promise, he will be slapped in the face. Otherwise, this old monk with profound Taoism will be dissatisfied!
"Haha, don't be embarrassed. I don't need it right away. As long as I get it within three years, I can accept it!" The old monk said calmly, stroking his beard and smiling, showing that everything is easy to discuss.
"Okay! Then I'll trouble you, Master, to take a look at the elixir you can give me. If I'm tempted, I can help you!" Yang Di smiled, and after clarifying the words, he felt much more relaxed and no longer had to be secretive.
"Lingxi, go and pack the best elixirs in the drawer into a medicine box and bring them over!" The old monk nodded, and then asked the young novice to get the medicine.
"Yes, master!"
The shy and delicate little monk nodded obediently and walked towards the main hall.
"Ah! Xiao Zi, you are stealing the master's elixir again!"
After a while, the young monk's angry voice came from the main hall. When the young monk came out again, he was holding a large medicine box and a small squirrel on his shoulder.
That little squirrel is very strange, its fur is all dark purple, and its furry little head has a pair of big black gem-like eyes, which are very smart, and there are crystal lines hanging from the corners of its mouth, and there is a fragrant medicinal fragrance emanating from it.
Apparently I just ate something good.
"Wow! What a cute little squirrel!"
A shy and delicate little monk had already made the girls happy, and now a cute purple squirrel suddenly appeared. The crazy girls and the others screamed, almost drooling, and little stars popped into their eyes.
