Chapter 106 Three Ghosts of Alchemy(2/2)

Several people chatted about when Fuyao's fur changed color, and whether it was considered white or gray. They also talked about what happened to them when they stayed in the temple. After being coaxed by several senior brothers, they finally cleared the bowls on the table.

He also brought a sand table and placed it on the table, and hung the stylus on a pine branch with a string.

But the one holding the Qi was not the Sixth Senior Brother.

But the master, Taoist Yunhe.

"The Ji Immortal I have made friends with is the mentor of the Sixth Immortal. They are both knowledgeable and have similar divination skills. However, this old friend of mine should be more daring to speak out."

As Taoist Yunhe spoke, he waved away all the fallen pine needles and then sighed:

"Speaking of which, Pindao hasn't invited this old friend for a long time."

"Crack!"

Taoist Yunhe lit the incense stick and put his hands together.

"Old friend, please come."

With a breath, a breeze blew through the courtyard.

"Old friend, long time no see."

"..."

"There are still two or three years left."

"..."

"Hahaha, of course I have something to ask."

Taoist Yunhe spoke to the sand table and stylus, as if talking to himself, and as if he heard some response. At the end of his speech, he paused, shook his head and smiled, and then asked directly:

"Before, my disciple went down the mountain to slay demons and encountered some silver-stealing demons in Yixian County. Later, he was eliminated by Yili Shenjun under the command of Emperor Jadejian of Nine Heavens Fairyland. But a few days ago, he came back from Mingqing Mountain and found another demon in An.

Lin County encountered some monster monks who stole silver, and there seemed to be monsters behind them. I wonder if the two things are connected? If so, does the immortal know the reason? "

The stylus paused for a long time, and the wind kept blowing.

After a long time, the line and pen started to move:

"The old immortal opened the furnace in Chang'an. He first took the river water and then the mountains. It is half haze and jade color, half human and half elixir."

"Crack!"

The string broke immediately and the pen fell into the sand.

There was obviously another gust of wind, whistling away.

"Leaving?"

Many Taoists looked outside.

Although I don’t know why this Immortal left in such a hurry, I also know that the matter is probably of great importance. Since he is willing to say it, he must be thinking of friendship, so he hurriedly salutes.

Then I read this poem again.

If the immortals make speculations, they are not sure whether their predictions are correct, and they are also afraid of causing trouble if they explain in detail, so most of them give vague answers in the form of poems and paintings.

"This poem tells the story of an ancient immortal who has fallen in ancient times and made elixirs. It is said that the ancient immortal was refining elixirs in the capital, not only to refine elixirs and become immortals, but also to bring peace to the world."

Taoist Yunhe looked at the poem and explained:

"It is said that when the ancient immortal made the elixir, he took the essence of the sky, the earth, the sun and the moon, and the aura of the mountains and dragons. It took him twenty years to finally make the elixir. When the elixir was made, in addition to the haze and purple energy,

He could also see thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the mist, and the world on earth, and he took the elixir, became a human immortal, purged the demons, and ushered in a period of peace."

After listening to it, everyone naturally knew that this was just a quotation, and the specific answer was still in the poem.

"Is it related to the capital?"

"Or is it related to the world?"

"Could it be that someone knew that the world was about to be in chaos, so they used these monsters to collect money for military expenses and to conquer the world?" Senior Brother said calmly.

"Then what does 'half human and half elixir' mean? Is this silver used to make elixirs?" asked the third senior brother.

Then everyone looked at the second senior brother.

"Gold, silver, lead, jade, cinnabar and mercury are indeed commonly used raw materials for making elixirs, but no matter how good the elixir is, it doesn't use so much silver, right? Unless he wants to make a lot of elixirs that use silver. I have heard that

There are alchemists in other places who use the pretext of refining alchemy to defraud silver, but they are just defrauding money."

The second senior brother who specializes in elixir refining said, suddenly paused again and frowned: "In addition to refining many elixirs that require the use of silver, there is another possibility."

"What's possible?"

"Have you ever heard of the three ghosts of alchemy? They swallow gold, eat silver, and chew jade."

"What's this?"

"This is a monster created by the power of alchemy when the ancient way of alchemy was at its peak: the three are not the same, and they are not from the same power, but because gold, silver and jade are juxtaposed, they are often mentioned together."

The second senior brother explained to them:

"The gold-swallowing ghost swallows gold, swallowing ten taels at a time, and spits out the beauty-preserving elixir. The youth that he eats will stay forever, and he will not grow old even until he dies;

"Silver-eating ghosts swallow silver, and every time they swallow ten taels, they spit out the Spiritual Essence Pill, which can increase their Taoist practice;

"The jade-chewing ghost eats precious jade. Every time he swallows a bucket, he spits out the elixir of freedom. He eats it and rides on the wind. He is like a god, traveling freely in the world!"

"Really or not?"

"It's probably true, right? Doesn't Xiaoyuan Dan use silver? It's just that the rumors must be exaggerated. Either the effect is not so good, or it needs to be taken all the time." The second senior brother said, "Twenty years ago

The late emperor favored his concubine and was addicted to women. He couldn't extricate himself, so he sent strange people from the Juxian Mansion to the four seas to find the gold-swallowing ghost."

"Did you find it?"

"Who knows this? You won't tell if you find it, right? After all, although the emperor is in charge of the world, the court is corrupt, and there are also women among the senior masters who practice spiritual magic. If you don't understand the way of alchemy, it will be difficult for you to be close to a true immortal.

Escape from aging, and maybe you will be moved by it.”

The second senior brother said, then paused:

"But there are some rumors."

"What rumors?"

"After the current emperor succeeded to the throne, he was also addicted to women and took possession of the late emperor's concubine. This has always been a scandal for this dynasty and is despised by civil and military officials... The concubine must be in her forties or fifties, right?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately became thoughtful.

It seems to be mostly true.

There are such wonderful ghosts in this world.
