Chapter 1530: Gathering Merit to Form a Golden Elixir
Birds hunted locusts everywhere. A large number of locusts disappeared quickly, and the people watched with joy. At night, the birds were tired and flew back to the mountains and forests to rest, but no one noticed. A locust came out of the soil and looked around. Then, he spread his wings and flew towards the capital.
The locust flew all night and felt exhausted. After eating some grass blades, it burrowed into the soil again. In this way, it stayed day and night and flew to the capital in three days.
After flying over the city wall, fly directly to Huguo Temple.
After passing through the huge temple, I flew to the main hall of Huguo Temple. I paused at the window and saw the national master sitting on a futon chanting sutras. He flew over and landed on the floor in front of the national master.
The imperial master who was chanting sutra paused, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the locust in front of him, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You only have a remnant of your soul left?"
He stretched out his hand and sent out a stream of spiritual power, which penetrated into the locust's body. With the nourishment of this spiritual power, a residual soul flew out of the locust's body and turned into the locust god. However, at this moment, the locust god was only a shadow.
When the Locust God saw the Imperial Master, he immediately cried out in mourning: "The Imperial Master, save me!"
The Imperial Master looked at the Locust God and said in a deep voice: "Why have you become like this, lost your true form, and even lost your divine status?"
"It's all those damn Bird Immortals and the Capital City God." The Locust God lamented.
The Imperial Master was slightly startled, "Bird Immortal? Capital City God?! Please tell me in detail."
The Locust God hurriedly told his experience, "When I arrived in Henan, I followed the instructions of the national master and sowed hundreds of millions of locusts. The children ate the crops. It went very well at first. I practiced in one place. But after a few days, suddenly Feeling that the energy absorbed was drastically reduced, I went out to check and found a golden eagle with the power of a golden elixir. There was also a man with the golden eagle who called himself the City God."
"They besieged me together, and I was about to escape, but they summoned countless birds to deal with me. In the end, I was defeated and was torn apart by a big rooster and a duck. It was so painful that I couldn't bear to die.
Fortunately, I practiced the method of distraction taught to me by the Imperial Master. A ray of soul attached to the locust, and it burrowed into the ground in the chaos, so it was preserved. "
The Imperial Master squinted his eyes and said, "The golden eagle with the strength of the golden elixir must be the golden eagle in Feixian Lake. The golden eagle's strength is pretty good. It has its own magical power and can fly very fast. Apart from that, there is nothing else. The man who is called the City God is Who is it? If there is no god in this world, how can there be a city god?"
"I saw the Great Seal of the City God he released, and I can feel the divine power on it, but I don't know about the rest." The Locust God lowered his head and said.
He was besieged as soon as he came out of the cave, and then he ran away. He knew very little about Jiang Hao's situation, only this little.
"City God's Great Seal, is the situation similar to yours?" the Imperial Master asked.
"I don't know." Locust God replied weakly.
The Imperial Master thought about it and realized that the Locust God in front of him was actually just a human ghost. He accidentally obtained the Locust God's Seal and was sucked in by the God's Seal after his death. In the end, he was allowed to refine the Locust God's Seal and become a new generation of locusts in this world. god.
Later, this guy caused a locust plague. At that time, in order to seize the country's fortune, the imperial advisor had been named the imperial advisor by the emperor. After the locust plague, he was ordered by the emperor to eliminate the disaster. He met this locust god and finally accepted him as his subordinate.
"Where is your Locust God Seal?" the Imperial Master asked, looking at the Locust God.
The face of the Locust God was full of pain.
"It was exploded!"
"They took away my Locust God's Seal. Now I only have this remnant soul left. I beg the National Master to save me and help me regain the Locust God's Seal."
The Imperial Master looked at the Locust God and suddenly his face darkened, "You're a useless thing. What's the use of keeping you after losing the Locust God's Seal?"
The Locust God's heart was filled with fear.
The Imperial Master opened his mouth and breathed lightly at the Locust God. The Locust God's soul flew towards the Grand Master's big mouth, and the Locust God was shocked.
"National Master, please forgive me, National Master, please forgive me, ah~~!"
This remnant soul of the Locust God was sucked into the belly of the Imperial Master and was swallowed up instantly. The Imperial Master pursed his lips and felt that the taste was okay.
"You are of no use to me now, so what can I do with you?" the Imperial Master said softly.
Then he thought about what the Locust God had just said. He didn't care about the Eagle King, but he was a little worried about the Capital God whom he had never heard of.
"It actually ruined my plan. I only have the last step left. No matter who dares to stop me from becoming an immortal, the gods will kill the gods and the Buddhas!" the national master said harshly.
"There was a locust plague in Henan, and another city god appeared. He must be related to Xue Ji. As long as we catch Xue Ji, we will definitely find out the situation of the city god."
The figure of the Imperial Master disappeared, and in the next moment, the figure of the Imperial Master gradually appeared in the study of Cheng Guoxiang, the first assistant.
"Amitabha!"
Cheng Shoufu was writing a memorial when he suddenly heard a call from the Buddha behind him. He was so frightened that he quickly turned around and saw the national master standing behind him, wearing a yellow monk's robe and a monk's hat, with a solemn face. Cheng Shoufu immediately stood up.
"I've met the Imperial Master."
The Imperial Master looked at Cheng Shoufu and said in a deep voice: "I heard that Xue Ji in Henan has eliminated the locust plague. I now order you to convict him no matter what you think of and bring him to Beijing."
Cheng Shoufu trembled: "Yes, National Preceptor, I will send someone to investigate and find out his crimes."
The figure of the Imperial Master disappeared, and Cheng Shoufu breathed a sigh of relief.
Others say that the Imperial Preceptor Pudu Cihang is compassionate and protects the destiny of the country. However, Cheng Shoufu knows that the Imperial Preceptor has controlled the entire country and most people in the court listen to him, including Cheng Shoufu himself. If he dares to disobey him, If he gives the order, he will probably end up like those prime ministers who died tragically for no reason.
Cheng Shoufu immediately called his confidants and set off quickly to Henan to investigate the situation there and see if he could find any loopholes.
Two fast horses rushed out of the east gate before closing the city gate and ran towards Henan.
Xue Ji didn't know yet that someone in the capital was brewing a conspiracy against him.
At this time, he was organizing people to hold two large-scale sacrificial activities.
After the birds ate up all the locusts, the people cheered and finally felt like they had hope again. Then the government ordered the eradication of the locust statues.
The common people have long hated the Locust God. Countless people came to the Locust Temple with the government officials and directly pulled out the Locust God statue. People smashed it hard, smashing the clay statue into pieces. The plaque of the Locust Temple was also taken off and smashed.
A new plaque will then be hung.
"Bird Immortal Temple!"
There are twenty-seven bird fairy statues in total.
The common people carried the statue of the Bird Immortal, beat gongs and drums and paraded through the streets, and finally brought it to the Bird Immortal Temple to offer incense and incense.
The birds in Feixian Lake now all have divine status, and they suddenly feel that they have absorbed a lot of incense and wish power, and they all smile with joy.
The next day.
September 9th Double Ninth Festival.
On this day, the magistrates of various prefectures and counties personally presided over the ceremony and led numerous government officials to perform grand sacrifices at the Chenghuang Temple.
The City God was originally an official god, a human god designated by the founding emperor Taizu. It was reasonable for government officials to worship him and it did not go beyond the rules.
The lobby of the City God's Temple could not hold so many people, so the crowd knelt in the courtyard. The huge courtyard of the City God's Temple was full of people kneeling, and they even knelt on the street outside.
In the Chenghuang Temple of Kaifeng Prefecture, the governor led a group of officials to offer sacrifices. After prostrating, they took out a sacrificial inscription and recited it.
"I would like to lay a memorial ceremony for you with a clear drink, and dare to declare to the God of the City God: Mountains and rivers use ventilation as their spirit, and the City God uses the accumulation of yin as their virtue, to harmonize products, help heaven and educate people, and people's gratitude, this is the ceremony of sacrifice. Say respectfully. The command of the court is to guide the southern state, and the rituals are recommended to show diligence and respect. The common people are blessed, and the beasts will not catch them, and the poisonous insects will not bite them.
At the same time, the city gods in various prefectures and counties are also conducting sacrifices at the same time.
Jiang Hao was resting in the small courtyard of the inn. Suddenly, he felt a majestic power of faith pouring into his City God's Seal. As the City God's Seal transformed, it turned into divine power and injected into Jiang Hao's soul.
What's this?
Is it a merit!
Before Jiang Hao could figure it out, the next moment, he felt that the spiritual power in his body began to operate rapidly, driven by this divine power.
Jiang Hao was startled. He thought of the exercises and various secret books for elixirs he had seen before, and thought to himself that his situation was a sign that he was about to condense the golden elixir.
He quickly suppressed his thoughts and sent a message to the little fox: "I want to practice. No one is allowed to disturb me. After Xue Ji performs the sacrifice, let him lead everyone from the Kaifeng City God's Mansion to protect me."
The little fox was originally in the outer room. After hearing Jiang Hao's message, he immediately realized that something big happened to his husband. He quickly took out the paper crane and released the message after the message. The paper crane would pass the message to the Kaifeng City God.
Jiang Hao entered the state of cultivation wholeheartedly, constantly thinking about the key to making the elixir from the secret edict of the golden elixir, and did not dare to relax for a moment.
The so-called golden elixir is to use the human body as a furnace, use the essence in the body as medicine, and use the soul to refine it. The essence, energy, and spirit can be condensed to form a golden elixir, which is the golden elixir avenue.
The spiritual power was running wildly, and the vitality of heaven and earth was continuously injected into Jiang Hao's body, while he was refining it with his soul while reciting the key to making the elixir:
"Condensing Qi into water, condensing water into ice, refining pure lead to replenish Li Yuan, concentrating the elixir point with sincerity, the universe and earth merge into the middle way, chaos can be divided into yang and yin, see the real lead medicine in it, and it will take care of one hour. Dancheng!”
As Jiang Hao frantically absorbed spiritual power, the spiritual power in his body gradually condensed into dewdrops, changing from gaseous to liquid.
You must not relax at this time and continue to use your soul to refine the spiritual liquid in your body.
"The Yang fire is thrown into the water, the clouds and mist rise to the sky, the essence is collected to replenish the Li Yuan, the mercury fire is generated to increase the mental power, the lead of the earth is refined and the pure stem is refined, the flow of Qi comes to an end and begins again, the movement of the human body is returning!"
Using souls to refine spiritual liquid is like using an alchemy furnace to refine elixirs. The elixir refiner removes the stems and retains the essence, while the elixir refiner removes the mines and retains the gold.
Under the refining of the soul, the spiritual liquid soon left only a little gold liquid.
It's not that easy to pan for gold in the sand. It's like a gold mine. A ton of gold ore can only extract a few grams of gold. The ratio is one million to one, which shows how difficult it is.
He finally understood the reason why there were thousands of Foundation Establishment monks but only a few dozen Golden Core monks.
Just when the spiritual fluid in Jiang Hao's body was about to run out, the power of faith that poured in through the City God's Great Seal was instantly converted into majestic spiritual power and rushed into Jiang Hao's body.
Jiang Hao was overjoyed that merit can still be used in this way, it can transform the power of the soul, and it can also transform spiritual power.
He immediately urged the transformation to continue.
"Everything in the heaven and earth is in the void, and there are images that come and go without substance. One or two turn into three, four or five. It is always Qianyang and Kunfeng. One sight and one return have great achievements, and the same is true for the Yin and Yang of the universe. The golden crow shines on the beauty of the Jade Rabbit, reflecting the beauty of the Jade Rabbit. Show your beauty and become more rosy every day.”
As Jiang Hao continued to practice.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a roar in Jiang Hao's mind. It was like the universe collapsed, forming a vortex in his Dantian, frantically absorbing the gold liquid he extracted. The gold liquid kept gathering, and finally condensed into a drop of gold. A constantly rotating golden ball.
Jiang Hao was immediately overjoyed. He knew that his golden elixir was ready.
Moreover, he also discovered that his golden elixir was much larger than the golden elixirs of those people who had just cultivated the golden elixir recorded in the book.
I'm afraid it's the size of a mid-stage golden elixir.
Is it because the power of the incense that I absorbed was transformed into too much?
But this is definitely a good thing for him.
Ha ha,
Our golden elixir is done!
‘Gold’ refers to its strength and indestructibility, and ‘Elixir’ refers to its perfection. If you step into the golden elixir, you will be among the immortals. You can get rid of the reincarnation of grains in the mortal world and extend your life by five hundred years.
Zhang Boduan, a real person from Ziyang in the Northern Song Dynasty, once wrote a poem:
"When I swallowed a pill of spiritual elixir, I realized that my fate was not determined by God. The golden elixir was made in one day, and the words of the ancient immortals were truly worthy of hearing. If you say nine years and three years, it is just delaying the money. There are great medicines to cultivate. Whether it's easy or difficult, I know it's up to me and God."
