It's a strange monkey that comes down the mountain to catch people.
Xu Mo saw with his own eyes that five or six strange monkeys were running all the way up from a narrow forest road, as if they were walking on flat ground. They had strange strength and could hold people with one hand. One monkey grabbed two, and they carried them directly up the mountain no matter how they cried for father or mother.
, thrown into the cage pavilion.
Cage, that is, a tower cage built with wooden bars, layer by layer, more like a cage, no different from captive animals.
Newcomers will quickly learn the survival experience here from the old people. They really can't learn it. They are the ones who can't understand the situation at hand and shout. As a result, they will be taken directly to the alchemy room by the strange monkey.
Enter the furnace to make elixir.
Those who make alchemy are also strange monkeys.
But they look old, like some ferocious old monkeys.
There is a copper furnace that must be two people high. The firewood is burning very brightly below. The person's clothes are torn off, his limbs are chopped off with a sharp knife, and he is thrown into the furnace first. Don't throw away the blood left by the wound, and fill it with pots and jars for later use.
Then put some herbs in, then quickly throw the person without limbs in, increase the fire, pour in human blood after a while, sting, the blood will rise, immediately seal the fire eyes, wait for the furnace to cool, scrape the wall inside, and mix in berries
juice and knead into balls.
Then put it into the furnace and soak it in ashes.
Finally the elixir was completed.
This is the 'spiritual pill' that Hu Li brought in early in the morning.
This is the alchemy method in the secret art of human elixir. Xu Mo could see it, but reading it in words at that time was far less shocking than seeing it with his own eyes now.
Xu Mo didn't think this was a 'method of cultivating immortality', but more like some kind of heretic.
Damn, it shouldn't be like this.
That’s not how it’s done!
True disciples can walk freely in Chaoyun Temple, and can go anywhere except the master's training place and alchemy room.
So Xu Mo walked east and west and visited Chaoyun Temple all over.
Then I crouched down at the spot where the strange monkey captured people and went up the mountain to watch.
There is a path going down the mountain here.
It may also be the only road. Since there is a road, it is not difficult to follow it down the mountain.
Xu Mo approached.
But as soon as I got closer, I felt a dark shadow flash in front of me. Several strange monkeys jumped out of nowhere and stood in front of me. They were all murderous, as if if I took another step forward, they would be torn alive by them.
Xu Mo did not move forward. These strange monkeys were extremely ferocious, fast and powerful. They were definitely not easy to deal with. He didn't know how the fat Taoist tamed them.
In short, this road is blocked.
Xu Mo understood that the only passage was guarded by strange monkeys, not to mention the cliff. Unless he had wings, there was no way he could survive.
That leaves the Black Soul Forest.
In fact, the Black Soul Forest should be more dangerous. Judging from the information Xu Mo had gathered in the past half day, the Fat Taoist did not set up guards around the Black Soul Forest.
It's not necessary, because anyone who enters the forest will die.
Maybe even the fat Taoist would not dare to go in.
The situation is like this. Xu Mo is sitting on a high platform overlooking Chaoyun Temple, thinking and waiting.
The fat Taoist will definitely look for him.
This is beyond doubt.
How to deal with it specifically can only be determined step by step based on the actual situation. Of course, Xu Mo also has a bottom line. If he is pushed into a hurry, he may end up in a fight.
Xu Mo is still a little confused, not because of the current situation, but because everything he knows about cultivating immortals now seems extremely absurd, weird, and even abnormal.
No matter it is Mr. Xuanshan, Taoist Piaoyun, or the fat Taoist in Chaoyun Temple, it is the same. It is just like the cultivators of immortals. Even the scriptures and books they come into contact with are the same. The secret of human elixir, the return of three animals
1. All of the tricks in Nightmare Mountain are vicious, cruel and contrary to ethics.
As the saying goes, you can tell when autumn is coming by looking at a leaf. Could it be that the immortals here really practice this way?
Xu Mo felt that the future was a bit bleak.
After a long time, Xu Mo figured it out.
You should still move forward. Although immortality is weird, you still need to cultivate. Just choose a path that suits you. From the current point of view, "The Order of Controlling the Gods" is good, and you can pay more attention to this method.
So Xu Mo got up and since he had thought about it, he had to take action.
The Fat Taoist hasn't come to him yet, but it will happen sooner or later, so Xu Mo plans to take the initiative and find the Fat Taoist first.
It's not about trying your best, but about making excuses.
How many can be applied, how many can be applied.
The main hall where the fat Taoist is located is the largest building in Chaoyun Temple, but in Xu Mo's opinion, it is still in shabby condition and cannot be used on the stage.
Knowing that Xu Mo was coming, the fat Taoist asked the strange monkey to lead Xu Mo into the room, and said: "I had something to do last night and I didn't have time to talk to you. I didn't expect that before I went to look for you, you came to the door yourself? Interesting, haha.
interesting!"
Xu Mo said that it would all happen sooner or later, so it was better to take the initiative.
"You are arrogant and ignorant. You don't know. I will kill you like an ant." The fat Taoist said with murderous intent.
Xu Mo refused to answer the question and changed the subject: "Don't you know the taboo of my father's name?"
The fat Taoist was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect the other party to be so bold.
Then he laughed.
"It's okay to tell you. My Taoist master's common name is Zuo Yuantao. How do you treat me?"
Xu Mo waved his hand and said that he didn't want to do anything. He just wanted to ask Taoist Master Zuo some questions, which is commonly known as discussion.
"You?" The fat Taoist sneered, and his two blood-hole-like eyes looked particularly sinister and terrifying.
Obviously he doesn't like it.
"The trick of Nightmare Mountain." Xu Mo said, and sure enough, Zuo Yuantao stopped laughing. Xu Mo continued: "Master Zuo, please help me solve my doubts. I will also help you solve your doubts."
This is a deal.
Fair and just.
After a brief silence, Zuo Yuantao asked: "What do you want to know?"
It has to be said that Zuo Yuantao is a polymath, at least in the eyes of Xu Mo at this stage, he is a polymath. He is different from a beast like Mr.
Yuan Tao knew better.
Just like the difference between primary school students and college students.
For several days, Xu Mo spent most of the time beside Zuo Yuantao, studying Dharma and listening to sermons.
Zuo Yuantao also discovered Xu Mo's Wandering God. After learning that the other party was practicing the "God Controlling Order", he was quite curious. After all, he had never taught the "God Controlling Order" to anyone else in Chaoyun Temple.
, even he himself only knows a little bit about it, but has never practiced it, let alone mastered it.
It can only be said that Xu Mo knew how to do it before he came, and he is also an immortal cultivator.
On the seventh day.
Xu Mo has gained a lot. He feels that his Death Text Nightmare has passed the fourth level. In addition, his basic knowledge is also solid.
Mainly the secret technique of human elixir, Xu Mo was deeply involved in it, but he only learned it but did not practice it.
Zuo Yuantao would still refine the human elixir every day, and at some point he would invite Xu Mo out to practice behind closed doors. Xu Mo knew that there would be drawbacks to swallowing the human elixir, and this was not his wild guess, Zuo Yuantao said.
However, the human elixir has a soul and two qi, including essence and dross. The most terrifying thing is the resentment and hatred entangled in the human elixir when you die. If you take too much of this stuff, you can improve your cultivation. Likewise, it can also
You will be poisoned and affected by it.
In layman's terms, it means getting nervous at a fixed time.
"You control the gods, don't you also have to donate blood and flesh, and longevity? In fact, for us, it's only half a pound." Zuo Yuantao smiled strangely.
His attitude towards Xu Mo has also undergone some changes in the past few days.
The biggest change was that a few days ago, he suddenly went crazy and attacked Xu Mo, but at the critical moment, he was blocked by the wandering spirit spitting out of Xu Mo's mouth.
We couldn't attack for a long time, and even suffered some losses.
Of course, Zuo Yuantao never said anything about suffering a loss, it was shameful.
I was also afraid that Xu Mo would have other thoughts.
It's just that Xu Mo is not a fool. He saw the clues. Although he didn't know the details, he was sure that the wandering god he had summoned at four times the price this time was not a good person and was not simple.
As a result, the mentality of the two people has also undergone some changes. It means they are a bit on equal footing, similar to "I will kill you like crushing ants". Zuo Yuantao has never said it again. Obviously, no matter where he supports it,
Status is always determined by strength.
If you have strength, your body will be strong.
Xu Mo is very tough now.
"Old Zuo, tell me what the green fire is when you refine the human elixir." Xu Mo sat on Zuo Yuantao's special door panel, eating fruits picked by strange monkeys, and chatting with old friends.
General speaking.
With this attitude, Zuo Yuantao would have had to practice him seven days ago.
But now, the fat man just laughed: "That's a weird fire, it's hard to get."
Saying this is like not saying it.
Xu Mo thought of the will-o'-the-wisp lantern and thought: "Is it from the Black Soul Forest?"
As soon as these words came out, Zuo Yuantao laughed dryly.
Obviously hit the mark.
"Didn't the tricks of Nightmare Mountain written in your robe also come from the Black Soul Forest?" Zuo Yuantao also said.
Regarding the origin of Nightmare Mountain's trick, Xu Mo had already told Zuo Yuantao, but he didn't tell the truth.
Of course, if you just talk nonsense, you can't deceive the other party, so Xu Mo is half-truth and half-false. The real part is his and Xuanshanjun's interpretation and understanding of this trick.
Mr. Xuanshan is also unambiguous. If a tiger can cultivate to this level, his insights will naturally be unique and extraordinary.
I mentioned this theory to Zuo Yuantao. If the latter's attitude changed again, he would probably call Xu Mo a 'fellow Taoist'.
Regarding the doubts in his heart, Xu Mo continued to seek answers.
"Lao Zuo, what are those strange monkeys and how did you tame them?"
"This is Zuo's secret private matter, and it's inconvenient to talk about it!"
The key information is that this guy is very strict with his words and can't even get out a single word.
After thinking about it, Xu Mo suddenly thought of his previous confusion and asked: "Is this really the only way for immortals to cultivate?"
Zuo Yuantao didn't understand what this meant at first, but after Xu Mo explained it, he nodded and said: "Immortal, this is how you practice!"
