Chapter 167 Dream Alchemy
As soon as this childish voice sounded, the King of Qin stood up, although he was not sure whether the person opposite could see him.
"It seems so."
Jiang Lin smiled and nodded, then stood up and said with a cupped hand: "I'll wait for you in Kyoto."
"Well……"
The childish voice on the other end seemed a little hesitant, and muttered, "But if you grow up a little more, you will no longer be a child, and your mother will be very disappointed."
Jiang Lin and King Qin looked at each other and said nothing.
Obviously, the reincarnation of this Cave Star Lord is a bit complete now, or in other words, he still has the wisdom he once had, but has a lot more childishness.
This is a good thing for Dongmingxingjun himself, because he can see many different scenery through it.
But it may have an impact on the entire plan.
“Actually, you don’t have to grow up.”
The King of Qin suddenly spoke up and said, "In ancient times, Gan Luo became prime minister at the age of twelve. It is not a big deal for the King to follow his example."
"Makes sense."
Dongmingxingjun answered thoughtfully, "I shouldn't be much worse than Tianquan."
"I'll leave tomorrow!"
Dongming Star said excitedly.
As the voice fell, the Ziwei Jade Talisman stopped humming and fell back onto the table.
King Qin put away the jade talisman, looked at Jiang Lin, and said hesitantly: "Master, I don't know..."
He hadn't finished speaking, but Jiang Lin understood what the King of Qin meant.
Is it really reliable for a star god with a child's heart to be reincarnated? Or, will there really be no twists and turns?
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Since it was arranged by the Emperor, he must have taken everything into consideration."
Jiang Lin said with a smile.
This principle is actually very simple, and the King of Qin is not a fool, so how could he not think of it?
However, in that position, it is normal to be a little negligent or worried about gains and losses.
Before Emperor Taizong of Tang launched his rebellion, he hesitated.
The King of Qin is now considered the destined emperor of the Zhou Kingdom and is getting closer and closer to that position. It is normal for him to feel worried.
In other words, it was not until now that the King of Qin began to show signs of worrying about gains and losses, which showed that he had become mentally tough.
"I am overthinking."
The King of Qin also came to his senses the next moment, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said: "I never thought that I would be confused sometimes."
"Faced with that position, it's inevitable."
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Next, we just need to wait for Xingjun to arrive in Kyoto, and everything will be solved. No matter how the old emperor tries, it will be in vain."
"only……"
The King of Qin asked, "Just what?"
"If the old emperor wants to achieve his goal, the means he uses will not be simple."
Jiang Lin raised his hand and drew messy marks on the table.
"I'm afraid that if Kyoto is in chaos, people will die."
Upon hearing this, the King of Qin frowned and stood up, pacing back and forth.
Finally, he looked at Jiang Lin and asked, "Master, is there anything I can do for you?"
King Qin gritted his teeth and said, "Even if we fail, I cannot sit back and watch the people in chaos!"
Jiang Lin looked up at King Qin, looked at him deeply, and said nothing.
There is no doubt that the King of Qin is a hero.
In the eyes of the heroes, it is not difficult to accept that one general's success comes at the cost of the lives of countless soldiers, let alone facing the throne.
No matter what the King of Qin thought in his heart, at least he said this.
When it comes to deeds, there is no heart, and there is no saint when it comes to heart.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. This is something we should take care of."
Jiang Lin said softly: "It is your business to sit in that position, and it is my business to wipe out the evil cults and sects."
"boom!!"
At this moment, a loud explosion suddenly came from the backyard of the palace.
Jiang Lin and King Qin were both stunned.
"It's in the direction of the attic!"
As soon as the King of Qin finished speaking, Jiang Lin disappeared from his sight.
He didn't care about anything else and strode to the backyard.
The attic belonging to Zhou Rou was burning, and the rising flames were shooting straight into the sky.
But the strange thing is that there is a smell of medicine in the flame.
Mr. Baihua stood under the attic, looking helpless, with some black dust on his body.
Next to Mr. Baihua was Jiang Lin with a sullen face.
In Jiang Lin's hands, he was pulling both ears.
Belongs to Miaoqing and Liu Yunxiu's ears.
The two unlucky kids were grabbed by Jiang Lin, one on each side, half-squatting there with bitter faces. Liu Yunxiu looked as miserable as if he had been caught.
Miaoqing's face showed some dissatisfaction.
On the side, Zhou Rou lowered her head, rubbed the corner of her clothes, and smiled awkwardly.
The three girls' faces and bodies were all dirty.
When the King of Qin arrived, this was the strange scene he saw.
"As long as everything is fine, it will be fine. If everything is fine, it will be fine."
Although the King of Qin didn't know what the three girls had done to cause such a commotion, since they were all fine and had no missing limbs, it was a good thing.
As for the loss of the attic, the King of Qin really didn't take it seriously.
"Reflect on it."
Jiang Lin's face darkened. He let go of the two ears in his hands and hit the two unlucky children on the forehead.
"Well……"
"I shouldn't have failed..."
Liu Yunxiu covered her forehead and said nothing, but Miaoqing continued to mutter indignantly.
"Attsu."
Jiang Lin rolled his eyes and gave Miao Qing one more blow, which finally made Miao Qing calm down.
Zhou Rou, who was standing aside, held the little Qingluan who was chirping and gloating, and looked at the interaction between the three people with a bit of envy in her eyes.
"Master, there's no need to be angry about what they did. They were all small matters, small matters."
King Qin walked up to Jiang Lin and said with a smile.
"You can ask Mr. Baihua."
Jiang Lin sighed helplessly, took a few steps forward, raised his hand and made a gesture.
"God commands, clouds come, rain comes."
The true words were formed in an instant, and the divine thunder method was activated.
"Om."
Suddenly, a small dark cloud appeared above the attic, and soon, raindrops covering an area of about one acre fell.
Thunder magic is also a way to pray for clear weather and rain.
Although if one wants to pray for rain properly, one needs to open an altar and perform rituals, offer sacrifices to the sky and burn tablets, so that one can use the five thunders and borrow the power of heaven and earth and the majesty of the gods.
But such a rain that does not even cover a small area naturally does not require so much trouble. Jiang Lin can handle it with his own magic power.
Only after seeing the fire in the attic being put out did Jiang Lin turn around.
"Anyway, the princess and the two young ladies set up an alchemy furnace in the attic, but they accidentally over-burned the fire, and that's why..."
Just at this time, Mr. Baihua also finished explaining the whole story.
After hearing this, Jiang Lin was still furious. He didn't care that King Qin was present and hit Zhou Rou on the head from behind.
"You too, you let them do whatever they want?"
Jiang Lin said helplessly: "Even if it is a high-ranking Taoist priest in Shangqing Temple, he still has to open the altar and perform rituals to make sure everything is perfect before he dares to raise the fire and refine it."
"Even the position and timing of the alchemy furnace have complicated rules, and you three still want to make the elixir by yourselves?"
One was just getting started with Zhenwu, one was practicing the Three Emperors method purely for fighting, and one was not a practitioner at all.
I don’t know what’s wrong with these three unlucky kids, they actually want to make pills on their own.
"Miaoqing, tell me about it?"
Jiang Lin looked at Miao Qing.
It's obvious that this girl was the one who started it. "I followed all the steps, there's no way she could fail!"
Miaoqing yelled in dissatisfaction.
Jiang Lin raised his hand silently, and Miao Qing immediately trotted and hid behind Liu Yunxiu.
"Master, it's not Miaoqing, it's me."
Liu Yunxiu raised her hand weakly.
"Ok?"
Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the one causing trouble was not the lawless Miao Qing, but the intelligent Liu Yunxiu.
"what happened?"
Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows.
If it was Miaoqing, it might be that this girl suddenly had a brain storm and caused trouble, but if it was Liu Yunxiu, perhaps there was some inside story?
It’s not that Jiang Lin discriminates against Miaoqing, but that he understands her.
Also know Liu Yunxiu.
"I got a piece of external alchemy."
Liu Yunxiu said in a low voice.
Jiang Lin asked doubtfully, "What kind of external alchemy method did you get it from?"
The elixir can be divided into internal and external. The internal elixir is naturally the method of refining one's own essence, energy and spirit, extracting the great medicine of the human body, capturing Kan and filling Li, and harmonizing the internal breath of yin and yang.
As for the external elixir, it is refined by dragon and tiger, calcined by lead pump, and then combined with spiritual medicine to become the elixir, which is the so-called elixir.
Compared with the inner alchemy method which is secretive or has a high threshold, the outer alchemy method is more popular.
Although there are still many rules and it is quite difficult, it is already one of the easiest paths to success.
It is also because of this that the methods of external alchemy are mixed, with many of them being created by coincidence, but written into books, and self-proclaimed as a school of their own.
This is also what Jiang Lin is worried about. Both Liu Yunxiu and Miao Qing don't have much experience in this area. If they get hold of a muddled external alchemy method, it is normal for it to end up like this.
But don’t play like this anymore.
An explosion in the furnace is not a big deal, but if you refine the wrong elixir but think you have succeeded, the consequences will be serious.
"Where is the alchemy method? Let me take a look."
With this thought in mind, Jiang Lin looked at Liu Yunxiu. Although he didn't know much, he could at least ask Master Weiyuan from Shangqing Temple to take a look.
When it comes to alchemy, this Taoist is the boss.
“I can’t see…”
Liu Yunxiu pointed to her head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Only in my head."
"Ok?"
Jiang Lin frowned, but suddenly thought of Liu Yunxiu's previous miraculous deeds and his past life which obviously had a foundation.
"Here's the thing."
Miao Qing stepped forward and said, "Yun Xiu woke up the day before yesterday and said that he had received a method of alchemy in his dream. Although I don't know its name, I heard a few words and it is obviously a wonderful method."
"I originally wanted to wait for you to come back before I settle it, but... hehe..."
As she said this, Miao Qing couldn't help but scratched her nose embarrassedly.
"But you're impatient, aren't you?"
Jiang Lin rolled his eyes, looked at Liu Yunxiu, and said seriously: "Do you remember what the person who taught the law looked like?"
If someone else said that he was teaching in a dream, Jiang Lin might still worry whether he had encountered evil spirits.
But Liu Yunxiu didn't have this concern.
Back then in Taisu Palace, Liu Yunxiu had achieved the miraculous feat of “all the gods in heaven could hear his words”.
It's easy to tell with your toes that this girl definitely has a big secret.
Therefore, Jiang Lin was not worried about being possessed by evil spirits.
"I can't see his face clearly, I can only see an old man with a white beard..."
Liu Yunxiu spoke slowly.
That day, she chatted with Miaoqing and Zhou Rou until midnight, and couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep one after another.
After falling asleep, I heard a song.
The melody was not clear, but it was so fascinating that she couldn't help but move closer.
Liu Yunxiu knew very well that it was a dream, but everything seemed too real.
She walked onto a wide loess road, and the surroundings seemed somewhat desolate.
An old man wearing a simple linen Taoist robe, with a white beard and a drooping belly came to her side at some point.
She couldn't see the old man's face clearly, but she knew that he was smiling and looking at her kindly.
"I have a volume of alchemy, which contains the secrets of Jia Ding and the wonders of the lead pump. It is indeed the ultimate book of external alchemy. Are you willing to learn it?"
Listening to the old man speak, his smiling voice was soothing and gentle, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.
Liu Yunxiu couldn't help but nodded.
The old man stretched out a hand and touched her forehead.
Suddenly, a series of extremely profound scriptures appeared in her sea of consciousness.
It was unknown how long it had been before Liu Yunxiu came to his senses. The old man in front of him had already slowly left.
She hurriedly chased after him, only to find that the old man seemed to be sitting upside down on some animal.
Liu Yunxiu was about to catch up, but found that no matter how quick he walked, he was still just a little short.
Finally she reached out to grab it, but only caught a rough tail.
The unknown animal seemed to feel pain from being caught, and its speed became faster and faster, making it impossible for Liu Yunxiu to catch up.
In the end, all they could do was watch the old man's back from afar as he walked towards a majestic pass.
…………
After saying that, Liu Yunxiu raised her head, only to find that everyone was looking at her strangely.
"Why didn't you say before..."
Miao Qing opened her mouth blankly.
"I……"
Liu Yunxiu spoke subconsciously, but suddenly reacted.
Yes, why didn’t I think of saying it before?
King Qin and Mr. Baihua remained silent. The scene described by Liu Yunxiu was so familiar that people had to rely on it.
Jiang Lin looked at Liu Yunxiu thoughtfully and asked, "You really can't guess the identity of that old man?"
"I should have guessed..."
Liu Yunxiu was halfway through his words when he suddenly widened his eyes.
She suddenly opened her hand, and lying in the palm of her hand was a short hair, with a dark green, almost black, luster.
Jiang Lin looked over, and the thoughtful look in his eyes became more intense.
"A green-haired animal, riding backwards, an old man in a Taoist robe, a heroic figure."
He stared at Liu Yunxiu closely and asked, "Who do you think of when you put these things together?"
"Of course it's the Supreme..."
Liu Yunxiu was distracted quite a few times today.
Why didn't she think of such obvious information before?
How could I not think of that?
Laozi went west through Hangu Pass. Even if you are not a Taoist disciple, if you have read a few books, you will know this story.
Why hadn't she thought of it before?
“It’s an obstacle.”
Jiang Lin said softly: "Before this, Yunxiu couldn't remember to talk about this matter, and couldn't associate it with the identity of the old man in the dream. These were obviously two very simple things, but she couldn't take them into consideration."
"This is an obstacle, obviously set up by that old man."
"Now I can speak of it and remember it because the opportunity to break through the barrier has arrived."
Zhou Rou listened and said thoughtfully: "Then, what is the reason for the barrier breaking? The furnace explosion?"
"Not too possible."
Miao Qing shook her head and said, "That old man taught me the Yunxiu Alchemy Method in a dream, and this is the result of our first alchemy. It's embarrassing enough, how can it be an opportunity to break through the barrier? I think, maybe... it has something to do with people?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Miaoqing, Liu Yunxiu and Zhou Rou all raised their heads and looked at Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin blinked and pointed at himself silently.
Zhou Rou said softly: "Yesterday, I asked Mr. Baihua to get some medicinal herbs, and Yunxiu also met with the master."
Miao Qing said, "We will meet His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin during meals these two days."
By the process of elimination, among the six people present, only Jiang Lin had not met Liu Yunxiu after she taught her the Dharma in her dream.
Today is the first time.
