dead body search

Chapter 447
Yunxiao Mansion.

A pool was successfully excavated in the mansion, and gurgling water was introduced. The surface of the water was sparkling, like a huge sapphire, reflected in the emerald green pool water, crystal clear.

This pool is called Taiji Pool.

There are Liangyi inside and gossip outside.

One person sits in each of the Liangyi seats, and one person sits in each of the Eight Diagrams seats, a total of ten people sit and discuss Taoism.

Today, Shen Qing, who is in the foundation building period, sits in the yin position, the master Liu Heng sits in the yang position, and Zhou Yuanzhi, Han Ming, and other Tai Chi masters are sitting in the eight trigrams positions around them.

They will discuss here on the first day of each month, teaching you the practice experience and the essence of martial arts in Tai Chi.

Today is the time for discussion.

"Han Ming, Zhou Yuanzhi, what do you two understand about the word 'Qian Kun'?" Liu Heng asked in the main seat.

Han Ming and Zhou Yuanzhi are both three spiritual roots, one is the founder of Xuanyang Sect, and the other is a Tai Chi genius. Powerful, and also has a unique understanding of Tai Chi.

Hearing Liu Heng's question, Han Ming stood up and said, "Return to the master, go up and down, go up and go down, positive yin and positive yang, combine to form heaven and earth... There are laws in the operation of all things, if you can understand the mystery, you will be able to Let your own strength advance by leaps and bounds!"

Liu Hang nodded upon hearing this, and gave him a glance of approval.

Then, he turned his gaze to Zhou Yuanzhi next to him, and said, "What about you?"

Zhou Yuanzhi thought for a while after hearing the words, and said: "There is only heaven and earth, but there are no people. Heaven, earth and human beings lack one of them, and they cannot be round and satisfactory."

Liu Heng smiled and nodded: "Then what is your point of view?"

"Yuan Zhi doesn't understand these principles, but instead of talking about heaven and earth, it's better to talk about life and death."

"life and death?"

Zhou Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows lightly: "Life and death are the same as the universe, they are yin and yang against yin, but between life and death, there is a so-called 'life'. I once saw an old man struggling to die, but he still had a strong desire to survive... ...We are monks, we can't leave people, but only talk about the Yin and Yang of Qiankun..."

"That's right, that's right!" Liu Heng nodded with satisfaction on his face: "What Yuan Zhi said is very true. If we talk about the principles of Taiji Yin and Yang today, if we can't apply them to the principles of boxing, then it is just rhetoric. You must know the way of the world. Dharma requires both Dao and art, and Dao and art complement each other to achieve the highest state."

at dusk.

When the sun and the moon shine together, the yin and yang converge, and the world is in chaos.

Hou Dongsheng stepped on the Tai Chi Lake, and on the calm water surface, practiced the yin and yang double fish hands, lying fish body technique and yin and yang secret technique of qi movement.

Although these three Taoist methods are all Qi-refining-level exercises, they also involve yin and yang, the sun and the moon, and the universe...

Taoism and art complement each other.

Just like the refining weapon, although Hou Dongsheng understood all the theories, he was unable to refine the magic weapon because his skills were not good enough.

Swinging hammer after hammer, forging again and again, this is practicing art.

Just like the oil seller, after pouring oil thousands of times, he can naturally keep it from dripping.

There is no need to comprehend the theory, as long as you practice thousands of times, you can eventually turn decay into magic, and once you have an epiphany, Taoism and art become one.

On the contrary, if you don't practice hard, no matter how much you know, you are just a waste.

suddenly.

Hou Dongsheng has a sympathetic relationship with yin and yang.

A powerful force surged out of his body, as if some shackles had been broken.

boom!
Afterwards, Hou Dongsheng's whole body erupted with a burst of soft light, illuminating the Taiji Lake, and the entire small courtyard was dyed with a layer of pale gold.

This kind of vision lasted for a long time before dissipating, and finally returned to silence.

Standing on the pool, Hou Dongsheng felt indescribably happy all over his body.

Thousands of times of practice will lead to an epiphany, and the continuous accumulation of self-made masters is by no means something that can be achieved by devouring the souls of several masters.

The key to craftsmanship and craftsmanship is to learn it by hand; the key to cultivating the Tao and the Tao is to stay close to the Dao.

No matter what you do, you have to work hard at the beginning. If you can immerse yourself in it, you will naturally reach a height that is difficult for others to reach.

15 year later...

Hou Dongsheng sat cross-legged on the Taiji Lake, and with every breath, clouds were swallowed into his stomach. As his breathing continued to change, the clouds that were originally on the water surface gradually condensed, forming a cloud. a small vortex.

"The sky and the earth act on their own, and the clouds form Taiji." Hou Dongsheng said softly, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he had forgotten everything around him.

In the world of dust.

lava island.

The huge refining furnace turned slowly, and the six flying swords in the refining furnace swam like fish in the flames, endlessly.

Suddenly, the six flying swords trembled and buzzed, as if trying to break free from some restraint.

"Today is the time when Tianhuang Liuhe Sword is released." Outside the refining furnace, the Lord of the Dust World led the eight ghost kings quietly waiting for the magic weapon Feijian to be released.

Seeing the tremors of the six flying swords at this moment, the Second Primordial Spirit was also quite excited. After 20 years of hard training, countless times of forging, and countless comprehensions, Hou Dongsheng could finally become a master of weapon refining.

"Go!" Suddenly, there was a shout from the refining furnace, and then six flying swords turned into several sword shadows and rushed out of the refining furnace, suspended in the air.

At the same time, a huge coercion swept across the entire lava island in an instant, and the eight ghost kings all showed surprise, which meant that the Tianhuang Liuhe sword had been refined successfully.

The six female ghosts in spring, summer, autumn, winter, green and red each obtained a magic weapon flying sword and began to refine it.

Yunxiao Mansion.

Hou Dongsheng, who was in seclusion, opened his eyes. He had already obtained the Tianhuang Liuhe Sword, and now only the Tianlei Sword was missing.

Sky Thunder Sword.

Main material: Siren Thunder Bone.

Auxiliary materials: ghost grain iron, fire thunder stone, cryolite.

The sea demon thunder bones have been repeatedly forged by Hou Dongsheng himself, and the natural formations on the thunder bones have been fully exposed. It only needs to be combined with the other three auxiliary materials, the formations, to completely strengthen it, and thus cast it into a sword. The flying sword is a magic weapon of thunder attribute.

However, the refining furnace of the magic weapon level cannot refine the Tianlei Sword at all, and only the refining furnace of the magic weapon level can refine this treasure.

But all thunder-type magic weapons are easy to fry furnaces, and the quality of the refining furnace is extremely high, and the main material of the Sky Thunder Sword, the sea monster thunder bone, has reached the level of the third-level high-grade or even the fourth-level level. The furnace cannot be refined at all, and a magic weapon-level refining furnace must be used.

Even the Hu family doesn't have magic-level refining furnaces, and the Excalibur Sect definitely has sword-refining furnaces. What's more, he is still claiming to be sick and bedridden, so it's not suitable to find someone to ask for a magic weapon refining furnace.

According to the memory of the soul...

Hou Dongsheng currently still has a way to use the magic weapon level refining furnace.

The Shenhuo Palace, one of the Ten Righteous Ways, is a great sect famous for its crafting, and holds a Heavenly Crafts Conference every ten years.

The so-called Tiangong Conference is an exchange conference for refining masters, similar to the gathering of puppet masters in Qizhi Mountain.

During the Tiangong Conference, all the refining masters in the world will be allowed to show their strengths. As long as they think their refining skills are passable, they can sign up to participate in the Tiangong Conference.

At the finals of the Tiangong Conference
Participating refiners can participate anonymously regardless of their origins or identities. During the finals, participating refiners can use magic-level refining furnaces to forge magic weapons.

After the magic weapon is refined, the refining furnace must still belong to the Shenhuo Palace. The Shenhuo Palace only takes it out for the refiner to use temporarily. The main purpose is to publicize the background of the Shenhuo Palace.

According to the rules of the Tiangong Conference, if the material is prepared, then whether it is a magic weapon or a magic weapon forged, it is owned by the craftsman himself.

After thinking about it, this is currently the only way for Hou Dongsheng to refine the Tianlei Sword.

two years later...

Hou Dongsheng feigned illness and got out of No.18.

He came to Huochi City in Yongxing Kingdom alone.

Apart from the two sisters of the Yue family, no one knew about this trip.

Hou Dongsheng came to Shenjianmen this time only to refine weapons and not to fight, so he didn't bring the golden armor corpse with him.

Huochi City is built next to Huoshen Palace, which is equivalent to the outside market of Huoshen Palace. Originally, Hou Dongsheng thought that the most sold items in Huochi City were all kinds of magic weapons and even magic weapons, but he only found out that the most sold ones were here. It turned out to be dog meat.

"Roast dog!"

"Sky fire roasted dog meat."

"The outside is charred and the inside is tender, extremely crispy. Let's have a plate of Keguan Huochicheng BBQ."

"Don't miss it when you pass by, the freshly baked skyfire roast dog meat!"

……

Street vendors shouted enthusiastically, and everyone around them also cheered:

"Boss, your Tianhuo roast dog meat is really good!"

"Yes, if you want dog meat to taste good, you can't do without chili peppers. It's red in color, smells delicious, and tastes even better."

……

Most of the people who tasted dog meat were Foundation Establishment cultivators, which surprised Hou Dongsheng. After all, Foundation Establishment cultivators had already fasted and did not need to eat at all.

It can be seen that the dog meat here is really extraordinary.

Hou Dongsheng soon saw a big shop named Huoyunju.

Hanging at the door was a flayed, disemboweled, and dismembered dog demon. Although he had been slaughtered, his body still exuded a faint demonic aura.

It is at least a first-order monster, with a huge body, hanging like a cow.

"Guest officers, let's have a plate of roasted dog meat. The roasted dog meat in Huochi City is made of top-quality Huoyun dogs. Each piece of dog meat is made from meat cut from a [-]-jin Huoyun dog. Make sure that the fat and thin are uniform, and the color is golden and attractive..." A waiter came to greet him.

Hou Dongsheng nodded and entered the store.

Compared with those roadside barbecue stalls, there are not many customers here, which also means that the consumption here is not ordinary.

Hou Dongsheng found a mahogany chair and sat down.

"Here's a plate of sky fire roasted dog meat," Hou Dongsheng said.

"Please wait."

After a while, a waiter came over with a tray, on which were placed neatly a dozen pieces of roasted dog meat.

This roast dog meat looks golden and oily, and it is still steaming.

"Guest officer, take it easy, and call me if you have any orders." The little girl said respectfully.

Hou Dongsheng picked up a piece with chopsticks, bit it in his mouth and began to chew.

Well, it is really fat, tender and smooth.

This piece of meat is grilled just right, not only removing impurities such as fat and bones in the meat, but also making the gravy full of elasticity and strong wine aroma.

"Excuse me, is there anything else you need?"

"Why are there so many dog ​​meat sellers in Huochi City?" Hou Dongsheng asked curiously.

"Hehe... The guest officer thinks he is an outsider, and he doesn't know the local customs. In the Vulcan Palace, there is a pill called Huoyun Pill that helps the fire system to practice Taoism. This Huoyun Pill needs to use the second-level Huoyun Only the demon pills of fine dogs can be cultivated. Almost all the monks of the Vulcan Palace practice the fire-type Taoism. The demand for demon pills is extremely high every year. Out of a million fire cloud dogs, only one second-level fire cloud dog can be born out of a thousand first-level fire cloud dogs. A second-level fire cloud dog can produce one demon pill, and one demon pill can only produce three pills. The Fire Cloud Pill, the entire Fire God Palace only produces more than 3000 Fire Cloud Pills every year, but it has to kill millions of Fire Cloud Dogs..."

"Fortunately, this Huoyun dog grows extremely fast. It only takes two or three years from puppyhood to maturity. Every year, the generation of the Fire God Palace kills millions of Huoyun dogs. Fortunately, the meat of this Huoyun dog is roasted. It tastes very fresh and tender, and 100 million Huoyun dogs are not enough to eat..." The little girl talked eloquently, and quickly solved Hou Dongsheng's doubts.

"One million Huoyun dogs are eaten a year. No wonder there are so many dog ​​meat sellers in Huochi City. It's really interesting." Hou Dongsheng laughed.

"Guest officer, do you know that the roast dog meat at those roadside stalls are all first-tier Huoyun dogs, and only this restaurant has second-tier Huoyun dogs." The second waiter rolled his eyes and said.

"So your price is unusual?" Hou Dongsheng asked with a smile.

"This... it's not a thousand times more expensive, but it's more than ten times more expensive." The waiter laughed.

"Then this plate of roast dog meat?"

"No more, no more, fifty spirit stones."

"Not expensive, not expensive." Hou Dongsheng said with a smile
The dog meat sold in the store is actually the meat of the first-order dog demon, but it is the top-grade first-class, not the second-order at all.

How can you eat dog meat in the foundation building period, go dreaming?

But the top-grade dog meat, coupled with this cooking method, is worth the price.

Hou Dongsheng chewed slowly and finished a plate of dog meat alone.

When paying the bill, Hou Dongsheng asked by the way: "Dare to ask this fellow Taoist, where can I sign up for the Tiangong Conference?"

"Fellow Daoists are also here to participate in the Tiangong Conference?" The shopkeeper said with a smile when he bought the Lingshi.

Hou Dongsheng nodded.

"Go straight along this road and you will find Tiangong Hall, where you can sign up."

"Thank you."

Walking along this road, Hou Dongsheng soon saw the Tiangong Hall.

At the gate of Tiangong Hall, there is a wooden sign with gold characters hanging conspicuously: "Registration Office of Tiangong Conference". The bold and powerful handwriting attracts groups of passersby to watch.

Hou Dongsheng found that the team had already been tens of meters long, and in the wanton spread of the crowd, everyone was deeply affectionate.He carefully found a place to stand at the end of the line, and followed into...

After only waiting for a moment, the gate of Tiangong Hall opened, and a group of disappointed monks left from Tiangong Hall. A monk wearing the costume of Shenhuo Temple said loudly: "Everyone who is queuing up outside, come in and obey the order."

Hou Dongsheng followed the crowd into the Tiangong Hall. When Hou Dongsheng entered, the monks guarding the gate immediately closed the gate.

In the large courtyard of the main hall, the monks in the auditorium of the Shenhuo Palace were scattered like guards, and an old man with white beard came to a high platform and said loudly: "All fellow Taoists must have come to participate in the Tiangong Conference of our school. The craft conference is held every ten years. It only discusses refining skills regardless of cultivation level. The craftsmen registered in this school can directly participate in the Tiangong conference. Directly participate in the Tiangong Conference, if you don’t have anything, you must pass the assessment to be eligible to participate in the Tiangong Conference, those who have a letter of introduction go here, and those who don’t have to stay where they are.”

Among this large group of monks, even four or five monks came out to follow a monk in the auditorium to the inner courtyard.

Hou Dongsheng looked left and right to see that there were more than [-] monks left in the courtyard. Like Hou Dongsheng, these people were all self-taught in weapon refining and had no reputation at all.

"Fellow daoists, have you ever brought a refining furnace with you? If you didn't bring a refining furnace, please leave by yourself. As a refining master, I don't even bring a refining furnace with you. I can't justify it." The old man standing on the stage laughed.

"Master Yin was joking. We only have the cultivation base of the Qi refining period. The small refining furnace that we carry around is useless at all. We can only use the refining furnace and ground fire in the fire workshop to refine weapons."

"That's right, our cultivation in the Qi refining period has not mastered the supernatural power of flames at all. What's the use of carrying a small refining furnace with us?"

"We can only successfully refine the magic weapon with the help of the earth fire."

……

Off the stage, there was a lot of discussion.

Hearing everyone's answers, the old man surnamed Yin smiled and said nothing, and said after a while: "Hehe... Next, we will test your refining skills, and this is a preliminary audition, so we won't provide you with refining skills at all. If you don’t agree with me, go to the master craftsman of this faction to ask for a letter of recommendation, otherwise please leave.”

The old man surnamed Yin spoke tepidly, but his words were firm.

crunch.

The gate of Tiangong Hall opened again.

"Please don't waste everyone's time." Two disciples stood in front of the door holding halberds.

"Humph!"

There were a few cold snorts from the audience, and then three No. 40 monks squeezed out from the crowd and walked out. Seeing their gloomy faces, they were obviously very annoyed at being rejected just now.

"Hehe, back then I was also a master craftsman of the generation, but now I have fallen to this point. It's really a trick of luck." One of the thin, gray-haired old men sighed.

This person used to be a master craftsman in Qingshanfang City, and once participated in the crafts competition with a letter of recommendation, but in the end he lost his name.

Now that he is old, but his cultivation is still in the stage of Qi refining, no one is willing to write a letter of recommendation for him, so he can only leave with regret.

After this group of people left, there were only nine monks left in the garden, eight of whom had cultivation bases at the foundation establishment stage, and only one woman had a cultivation base of the fifth level of Qi Refining.

The monks in the Qi refining period can also master the Flame Taoism, and almost all the monks of the Demon Flame Sect have mastered the Flame Taoism during the Qi refining period.

It's just that the Taoism of the Demon Flame Sect is so fierce and violent that it can't be used to refine weapons at all. Even the so-called soft fire is a fire that attacks the heart and desires, which is not at all like the flame Taoism of the Shenhuo Palace.
