Chapter 46 Coincidence
"Oh, Miss Yufei, why does your alchemy also have something about Qimai?" The master came over curiously.

Xuan Yufei shook her head: "Although I don't quite understand what the seven veins you mentioned mean, but I feel that the seven points you mentioned actually correspond to the seven metal elements of alchemy, which are lead. , tin, iron, gold, mercury, silver, and copper. Alchemy is called alchemy because ancient Western alchemists believed that gold is the purest thing and the most perfect metal, while ordinary stone or It is iron. The reason why they cannot be turned into gold is because they are not perfect, just like silver. In the eyes of us alchemists, they are flawed gold. As long as we complement the flaws, we can refine ordinary metals. into the most perfect gold, which is also the origin of alchemy!"

"Then what does this have to do with these seven points?" I continued to ask.

"Don't worry, I haven't made it clear yet, but among us alchemists, they always think that there is something that can instantly turn base metals, that is, the iron and tin in our mouths, into noble gold. The frequently used idiom of turning stone into gold is the same, and we call this thing the Philosopher’s Stone, but the Philosopher’s Stone can not only turn stone into gold, it has the magic power to turn all defective things into perfection, then we The human body with defects, we are in the theory of western alchemists, they believe that they can also achieve perfect immortality through the Philosopher's Stone!" Xuan Yufei explained to us.

Upon hearing this, the master smiled and said, "It sounds like the elixir of immortality for our alchemists?"

"In fact, there is no subversive difference between alchemy in the east and alchemy in the west, but in the eyes of alchemists, there is only one way to refine the Philosopher's Stone, and that is to fuse all perfect and imperfect elements Together, so that it is possible to refine into a real Philosopher's Stone, and these seven points, we extend a line in parallel, and mark a square from these lines, you see What is this now?" Xuan Yufei drew a picture on a white paper with a pencil and handed it to us.

The master and I were taken aback for a moment and looked at it. The original seven points have now become seven lines, and with the squares, these seven points have become seven areas.

"This is, seven cubes?" I looked at Xuan Yufei with some doubts.

"No, these are not seven squares, but seven different formulas. This is the formula for refining the Philosopher's Stone, and the place where my sister mainly studies alchemy is the Philosopher's Stone, because the legendary sage The stone symbolizes life, and it also symbolizes the soul. Even if the soul of the dead has dissipated by using the Philosopher's Stone, it can be revived again through the ability of the Philosopher's Stone, so if my sister can find these seven points , she must be aware of it!" Xuan Yufei said firmly.

My master and I looked at each other. Although we still don't quite know what the alchemy in Xuan Yufei's mouth means, we have a general understanding. It seems that this place can be detoxified not only through Maoshan technique, but also through that kind of alchemy. can also be interpreted.

"Then Miss Yufei, if I give you these seven points, can you arrange a route?" The master asked tentatively.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yufei wrote and drew on the paper, and he handed it to us after a while.

When my master and I saw it, we froze in place on the spot.

Because the route is almost exactly the same as the route deduced by the master using the seven veins.

"This?" I looked at the master.

The master was also very shocked at this time.

"Miss Yufei, who are you?"

"This is very simple. I said that the seven metal elements are the formula for refining the Philosopher's Stone, so the formula must always have a sequence. In fact, this is the sequence of refining the Philosopher's Stone, so I stipulated This route!" Xuan Yufei explained.

The master and I nodded suddenly, this dispelled the doubts in our hearts.

But a new problem has started, who built this place? If it was Yun Lingzi who built it, would there be any Quanzhen disciples who knew Western alchemy?

"Master, have you ever heard of this Quanzhen Yun Lingzi?" I looked at the master and asked.

The master frowned again and again: "No, and didn't you see that it was already said on the stone tablet? Their ancestor was Guigu, and as far as I know, Quanzhen has always had a side branch, and they also said that they are Quanzhen. Disciple, but he calls himself a member of the Guigu Sect. I think it is this side branch, but in the history of Taoism, this side branch of Guigu has almost no contact, whether it is the prosperity of Taoism in the Tang Dynasty or the Taoism in the Yuan Dynasty. They are on the verge of extinction, and they have never appeared before, and even the Quanzhen sect probably doesn't have much information about them, let alone an ordinary disciple!"

"This... it seems that it can only be regarded as an unsolvable puzzle?" I sighed.

At this time, Mr. Wang couldn't bear it any longer, and walked up to us and asked: "I have no other intentions about those two, Master Song, I would like to ask, can we continue to move forward, I am worried about the fog here? "

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, we forgot about it on a whim. I'm really sorry!" The master quickly apologized with a smile.

Soon the team set off again.

This time, the master and I were familiar with the road, so the team quickly passed one place after another, which was very close to the evil place we went to last time.

The compass began to shake violently, and the master waved his hand violently, signaling for everyone to stop immediately.

"Master, what's the matter?" I looked at the master beside me.

The master looked at the compass with a serious face.

I saw the pointer of the compass shaking suddenly, and the master's expression was already in a high degree of tension.

"Master Song?" Mr. Wang yelled, not knowing what happened in front of us.

The master put away the compass, motioned me not to let others move, and walked quickly to Mr. Wang.

"Mr. Wang, we don't include me, Yangyang, you and your daughter. Do you have enough bodyguards for eight people?" The master asked anxiously.

When Mr. Wang heard this, he nodded quickly and said, "Enough, definitely enough, I was worried about what would happen, so I brought some more people this time, and they all stood guard at the back and followed us to the back!"

"Well, you call them over immediately, I have something to say to them!" The master urged.

Soon, eight bodyguards wearing mountaineering suits came in front of the master according to Mr. Wang's instructions.

The master searched in his backpack for a long time, and finally took out eight live charms and chicken throats.

The last one was handed to all the bodyguards one by one, and they were ordered to surround Mr. Wang and Wang Yuanyuan and stand in a gossip pattern.

"Master Song, what is this?" Mr. Wang looked at me suspiciously.

"Eight Yang Formation!" said the master.

The eight yang array is to use eight objects with equal yang energy to lock their yang energy in one area at the same time. The power of the eight yang array has a lot to do with the material of the eight yang array. It was widely used in the Tang Dynasty. In some buildings, columns, or bricks and stones are generally used to fill some pure yang items, such as chicken throat powder and red salt, etc. Most of the eight yang arrays are made of dead Things are the main thing, because the eight yang array must require the eight points to maintain a high degree of consistency. Once there is a slight disclosure, then there will be leakage of yang energy, and the eight yang array will have no meaning.

If an evil spirit or an evil spirit wants to attack the target protected by the eight yang formation, then it is possible to succeed only if it consumes at least eight times more yin energy than usual. However, the fatal shortcoming of the eight yang formation is that it must It is a small space, if the space is too large, then the effect of the Eight Yang Formation will be greatly weakened, so it was gradually abandoned.

But now the only way the master can think of is the Eight Yang Formation.

Wang Yuanyuan couldn't move, and Mr. Wang was a good-for-nothing. Except for a little strength, these bodyguards couldn't help at all, so now the master can only come up with such a way.

However, in general, dead objects are used in the Eight Sun Formation, mainly because if the Eight Sun Formation is to move, the height of the eight people must overlap. If someone takes a small step, all previous efforts will be for naught.

"You eight, let me tell you, this is a life talisman, and this is a chicken throat. You can put it on your body, but you must not cover it all. If you smell something bad, call us immediately. You must move around. To maintain a high degree of consistency, there must be no problems, are these clear?" The master said very seriously.

The eight bodyguards present all immediately agreed.

The master breathed a sigh of relief, followed by holding the compass, and entered the place where we had been before bit by bit.
