Longevity starts from Liaozhai

Chapter 41 The Book of Pills
Qiuyun Temple is a dilapidated small temple, not much bigger than the Dragon King Temple in Qin Village. I don’t know which dynasty built it. When the autumn wind blows, the walls on all sides will make crackling noises.

It is doubtful how long this small temple can last.

The old fox was a little embarrassed, "Sir, please come inside."

In fact, this condition, let alone a fox den, is a place where human beings live. I am afraid that no one is willing to come to teach and teach.

What Laohu said before was naturally exaggerated.

The environment here is really rough.

However, when Qin Chuan walked into the main hall, there was a change in the interior. Although the furnishings in the hall were simple, it was very clean, with a faint fragrance of grass and trees, and it was not dull.

Even the corners of the eaves are spotless, and no cobwebs can be seen.

At least this litter of foxes is clean.

For Qin Chuan, he has experienced both carved beams and painted buildings, shabby rooms and empty halls. It is good to enjoy a rich life, but it is not necessary.

His purpose of making money is ultimately to obtain resources, and enjoyment comes second.

A dozen little foxes with snow-white fur came out from behind the Buddhist hall, trying to walk like human children, holding books one by one, making weird noises, and saluted Qin Chuan.

Presumably they wanted to say hello to Qin Chuan, but they didn't refine their bones like the old fox, so they could only make strange noises and couldn't speak human words.

Even the movements are mechanical.

Obviously, the old fox had rehearsed in advance.

The eyes of the little foxes are far less humane than the old foxes.

But compared to those beasts in the mountains, it is indeed much stronger.

Qin Chuan smiled at the old fox, "Old Tu, you were talking about some students to my maid."

The old fox quickly apologized, "Sir, don't misunderstand, I mean, you can choose a few clever teachings, and then let them teach other companions. It's just that the little old man didn't understand clearly."

Qin Chuan smiled faintly: "Teaching one is teaching, ten is teaching, but Tu Lao, in your situation..."

The old fox's heart was pounding in his throat, for fear that Qin Chuan would regret it.

Fortunately, Qin Chuan just paused, and then said: "We need to pay more."

The old fox let go of his heart, cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, sir. We also know that it is not easy to find a teacher to teach at present. The salary will definitely not treat you badly. How about you try a class, if you think you can teach, you will decide." Come down. If you can't, the little old man should also thank you sir, so that you won't make him go back and forth in vain."

Qin Chuan nodded slightly, "Then let's start."

"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good; nature is similar, habits are far away..."

Qin Chuan started from the simplest three-character scripture.

These little foxes made strange noises and struggled to follow along.Qin Chuan spoke very slowly, and they could keep up, but they couldn't understand human speech very well.

Qin Chuan was very patient, he recited the beginning of the Three Character Classic repeatedly, and then explained it bit by bit.Even so, because they don't understand the human language, they are still confused.

I just read it over and over again, and finally two or three little foxes could pronounce the six words "at the beginning of human beings, nature is good" with a very strange tone, seven parts like wolf fox barking, three parts like human language.

If someone passed by here, what they heard would definitely not be the opening content of the Three Character Classic, but the howling of wolves and foxes, which was somewhat shrill and creepy.

Qin Chuan was in such a strange scene, teaching calmly.

If there are eminent monks and Taoist priests who practice Taoism here, they might think that Qin Chuan is a big demon in shape, and he is here to enlighten the little foxes.Maybe it's the Zen stick and the flying sword serving him.

After about an hour, Qin Chuan stopped.

Among them are two clever little foxes who can already pronounce the first sixteen characters of the Three Character Classic in a rhythmic way and with a strange accent, generally fluently.

Qin Chuan asked: "Old Tu, is this okay?"

The old fox seems to understand Kaizhi, but it is a good thing that Qin Chuan is willing to teach.It can speak human words and understand many human affairs, but it strayed into an old cave deep in the mountains and ate a elixir left in it by the Taoist priests of the previous generation.

Such opportunities are rare.

For the Tushan clan, it is easier to develop intelligence than other beasts, but it is only relatively easy.

In any case, Qin Chuan's knowledge is far superior to his.

The old fox replied: "Mr. Lao, the greatest hope of the little old man is that Mr. can make one or two of them enlightened and embark on the road of cultivation. We are very grateful for this."

Qin Chuan: "Let's do this first. I'll come every two or three days, either in the afternoon or in the evening, to teach an hour-long class. Mr. Tu, let's talk about the salary first."

The old fox immediately took out a thumb-sized gold cake, which was red all over.

The ancients said that "there is no pure gold, and no one is perfect", pure pure gold cannot exist naturally.Moreover, with the technology of this era, it is difficult to create pure gold.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan was slightly surprised, and asked, "Old Tu, where did you get your gold?"

The old fox hurriedly said: "Sir, don't misunderstand, this is not stolen. It was found by the little old man in a cave on Langshou Mountain. The original owner there was a Taoist priest from the previous generation. When I entered, he It’s already a pile of bones, and I left a bag, a book, and a pill. The pill was given to me, but the book is still there. These little gold cakes are in the bag. We live in this deep mountain and old forest. It costs nothing. So none of these little golden cakes cost anything."

Qin Chuan: "Can you lend me that book?"

He guessed that this pure red gold was probably burnt by Taoist priests.Because red gold, also known as medicine gold, is the medicinal material used by Taoist priests for alchemy.

Because Taoist priests believe that gold is immortal and will not corrode. After refining pure gold, it can be used as medicine to help them cultivate the golden elixir.

Qin Chuan was very interested in alchemy, and when he saw Chi Jin, he thought of it.

It is impossible to find out the secret of alchemy from that book.

Old fox: "I still have the book, but the words on it are quite different from the current ones. I don't know the old man. You don't need to borrow it, just take it."

For it, it is very cost-effective to exchange Qin Chuan's favor for an unused book.

The old fox disappeared in a flash, and came back soon, holding a book made of unknown material in its front paws.

Qin Chuan took it, and the hand felt neither silk nor paper, the material was peculiar and light.

The above text is impressively oracle bone inscriptions.

Qin Chuan has studied oracle bone inscriptions, he looked at the beginning,
The general meaning is the four characters of "the first solution of Dan Dao".

That is to say, what this book talks about is Dan Dao.

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

With this Danjing, this trip is very valuable.

"Thank you Tu Lao, this book should be very useful to me, so I took it back."

"It's good if you like it, my little old man. There is also a vermilion fruit here. After taking it, sir, it will be very good for your body. But I can't go to Langshou Mountain again. My wife was murdered by the White Wolf King in the mountain. Now I don't know how to live or die." The old fox presented a vermilion fruit, which was very bright.

Zhu Guo is the old fox's so-called big thank you.
