The bright moon leaves the branches startled by magpies, and the breeze chirps cicadas in the middle of the night.
The night wind blew by, stirring up the lights on the candlesticks, and also disturbed Monk Kongchan's silent Zen mind.
"Fellow Lingyun Daoist, is there really no other way?"
At this time, Monk Kongchan's handsome face was full of bitterness. He asked subconsciously.
"Yes, but you can't do it."
Hearing this, Monk Kongchan's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked eagerly.
"What is the solution?"
"Little monk, you have to know that if the living soul of this green snake is refined into the weapon spirit in the Ten Thousand Spirits Cauldron, it will be a great opportunity that no one knows how many Qi practitioners can ask for.
"
"Besides, even if you really want to reshape his physical body, you won't be able to obtain the natural resources and treasures required."
The long and admonishing voice of Ling Lun Gourd gently echoed in the room.
"Fellow Taoist, please tell me, no matter what kind of treasure it is, the young monk is willing to give it a try. The green snake has grown up with the young monk since he was a child, and he is like a relative of the young monk. The young monk really does not want its soul to become a human being.
A magic weapon."
As soon as Monk Kongchan said this, Xie Heng and Lingyun Gourd immediately fell silent. After a long time, Lingyun Gourd whispered:
"If you want to reshape your body, there is only one thing in the wilderness that can do it."
"What?"
Xie Heng and Monk Kongchan said in unison.
"Purple golden lotus root."
"Purple golden lotus root? Where is it? The young monk will look for it now."
Monk Kongchan asked eagerly.
"Little monk, don't be anxious. Listen to what I have to say."
The spiritual gourd wrapped in clear light floated randomly in the room. A crisp sound came slowly.
"This purple-gold lotus root is in the lotus pond in the Zixia Palace in Yujing Cave Sky in Kunlun Mountain. As far as I know, this purple-gold lotus root is personally guarded by the elders of Xutian Palace. It is a valuable treasure of Kunlun Mountain and is very important.
Kunlun disciples are not allowed to use it without authorization."
"Are you sure you want to ask for it?"
Hearing this, Xie Heng was immediately shocked. Even Monk Kongchan frowned deeply at this time.
After thinking for a while, Xie Heng asked:
"Brother Calabash, Xie has been in Kunlun Mountain for more than 20 years, why has he never heard Master mention it?"
"Hey, kid, there are a lot of things you don't know, and this is not the least of them."
For a moment, Xie Heng was speechless by this weird gourd.
"Brother Taoist, please help me, little monk, I'm very grateful."
Monk Kongchan turned around and looked at Xie Heng, couldn't help but bowed and begged.
Just when Xie Heng was about to accept the matter, the mellow voice of Sealing Heaven's Seal sounded in the sea of spiritual awareness.
"Boy, don't waste your efforts. The purple-gold lotus root will be of great use in the future. Even if you go to Xuancheng Master now, it will have no effect."
"Huh? What's the big use?"
"You don't need to know now. Anyway, it is impossible for you to use this purple lotus root now."
After hearing this, Xie Heng's expression suddenly froze. Looking at Monk Kongchan with a sincere face, he suddenly didn't know where to start.
"Brother Kongchan, Xie...Xie..."
Staring at Xie Heng's somewhat evasive eyes, Monk Kongchan understood immediately. He couldn't help but look downcast. For a long time, he seemed to be in a state of collapse and spoke slowly.
"Even so, please ask fellow Taoist Lingyun to cast a spell."
"Little monk, don't blame this kid. Even if he begs his master, he won't be able to get the purple gold lotus root."
Ling Yun Gourd paused slightly and continued.
"Moreover, even if the green snake is refined into a weapon spirit, if the opportunity is right in the future, it may be possible to reconstruct the physical body."
Hearing this, Monk Kongchan finally had a sparkle in his eyes. He nodded silently.
"Boy, take out the Ten Thousand Spirits Cauldron."
With a wave of his hand, Xie Heng took out the Ten Thousand Spirits Cauldron from the Qiankun Ruyi Bracelet and dropped it on the table.
As soon as the Ten Thousand Spirits Cauldron came out, the roar of the Ten Thousand Spirits in the cauldron spread throughout the entire mansion, shocking everyone. Xiaobai and Qingmu also swayed, rushed into Kongchan's yard, and asked anxiously
.
"Xiao Daojun, little monk, what happened?"
Xie Heng waved his hand to seal off the space in the small courtyard. After blocking the roars of all the spirits in the cauldron, he turned around and his eyes fell on the roast chicken in Xiaobai and Qingmu's hands. He couldn't help but stroke it.
On his forehead, he looked helpless.
"It's okay, why are you eating again?"
"Uh, aha, aren't we a little hungry? The city lord made this roast chicken for us. How about, Uncle Master, you can eat some too."
Seeing Qingmu take out the half-roasted chicken in his hand, Xie Heng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and turned to look at the Wanling Cauldron in the room.
However, at this moment, the Ling Yun Gourd ignored these two little guys, but a ray of cyan mysterious light flew out of the gourd's mouth and fell towards the Wan Ling Cauldron, instantly covering it.
As the cyan black light fell, the roaring and roaring sounds suddenly disappeared, leaving only the small bronze cauldron spinning endlessly in the air.
Time passed quickly, and when the sun rose in the east, a thick black smoke suddenly spewed out from the mouth of the small bronze cauldron. Mixed in the thick smoke were countless ghosts such as Tengu, Winged Bird, White Rhinoceros, etc.
It was constantly struggling and roaring.
"This is the anger of an innocent soul."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xie Heng said in surprise.
"Amitabha, sin, sin."
At this time, Monk Kongchan could not help but lower his head and recite scriptures about past lives to save these innocent souls.
"Boy, give me some Xuanhuang Qi, hurry up."
A voice suddenly rang in Xie Heng's ears.
The next moment, Xie Heng formed a seal on his hand, and a streak of black and yellow energy shot out from Xie Heng's fingertips and landed on the body of the Ling Yun Gourd.
As the black and yellow energy was absorbed by the Ling Yun Gourd, a pale flame suddenly jumped out of the gourd's mouth and floated towards the black smoke.
In the smoke, there was a "crackling" sound from time to time, as well as a disgusting stench.
As the fire of heaven and earth burned in the black smoke, the roaring and roaring sounds gradually dissipated, and the whole room became quiet again.
The time for tea passed by in the blink of an eye, and the black smoke in the Wanling Cauldron disappeared completely. And the small ball of heaven and earth karma fire had expanded to the thickness of a thumb.
The Ling Yun Gourd shook slightly, and the thumb-sized Karma Fire floated towards the mouth of the gourd. When the first ray of sunlight fell on the earth, the Ling Yun Gourd immediately brought the small bronze cauldron outside.
In the sky, a very thin wisp of purple energy suddenly appeared, then disappeared in a flash and disappeared into the small bronze cauldron. Suddenly, the originally bronze cauldron turned into purple gold.
When he saw the innate purple energy covering the small bronze cauldron, the Ling Yun Gourd's voice rang out.
"Little monk, do you want to change the appearance of this Ten Thousand Spirits Cauldron?"
"Um?"
For a moment, Monk Kongchan was a little unable to react.
"I think I can give you an alms bowl, which will just match your outfit. How about it?"
He floated to Monk Kongchan's side, constantly circling and looking at Kongchan's spiritual gourd, and suddenly said jokingly.
"Amitabha, if it is possible, the young monk will also be happy."
Hearing this, Ling Yun Gourd seemed to be choked and muttered secretly:
"Humph, a little bald donkey with no interest at all."
Xie Heng, who was on the side, rarely saw the shrunken Ling Yun gourd, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Even Aoki and Xiaobai had their little faces turned red from holding back their emotions.
The next moment, a ray of green light shot out from the spiritual gourd, approaching the core of the Wanling Cauldron. I saw a mark of the soul of Tianxing Daozi, standing cross-legged, and a ray of green light passed by, directly.
It shattered into pieces and turned into nothingness.
An ancient cave in an unknown deserted mountain thousands of miles away was filled with the bones and remains of mortals, as if all the essence, blood and energy had been absorbed.
The moment Tianxing Daozi's Yuanso brand disappeared into the Wanling Cauldron, Tianxing Daozi, who was adjusting his breath, suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"It's really a good method and skill to break the soul mark left by this Daozi in the Wanling Cauldron. The surnamed Xie and the empty cicada bald donkey of Emei Mountain will definitely skin you after I recover.
Cramps, my soul lights up the sky lantern."
A series of low and sinister roars came from the ancient cave, making the surrounding chill seem to become a bit thicker.
At the same time, the spiritual gourd floating in the air shouted:
"Little monk, quickly squeeze out a drop of blood."
Hearing this, Monk Kongchan knew that this was the most critical moment. The next moment, drops of bright red blood floated out from his fingers and flew towards the Wanling Cauldron suspended in the air.
The moment Monk Kongchan's essence and blood came into contact with the Cauldron of All Spirits, a green snake suddenly appeared in the mouth of the cauldron, swallowed its essence and blood in one gulp, and disappeared into the cauldron.
In the blink of an eye, another blue mysterious light fell on the Wanling Cauldron.
In an instant, the Ten Thousand Spirits Cauldron gradually lost its original appearance in the cyan black light and began to change in the direction of the alms bowl.
When the alms bowl was formed, the cyan black light suddenly dissipated, and a bowl wrapped in purple energy floated quietly in mid-air. At the same time, the breath of a top-quality true treasure suddenly filled the small courtyard.
