dream bubble

Chapter 15
In the clouds, a spaceship is moving slowly.

In the cabin that was always full in the past, there were only three people sitting at the moment.

The seat in the middle belonged to Xie Xiaoyu, and he kept fiddling with a talisman in his hand. This talisman circled around his fingers, as nimbly as a loach in the mud.

The uncle and Master Su sat opposite him, and they looked at his movements with great envy.

The uncle is a complete layman, and only thinks this hand is very handsome, but Su Mingcheng is an expert. He knows how much control is required to achieve this step. If it were him, let alone five fingers, I am afraid Even the palm has been cut off.

Now, the helmsman no longer has any doubts about what Xie Xiaoyu said.

Of course he could see that the true energy in Xie Xiaoyu's body had already been transformed into sword energy.

The true temperature is moist, the sword energy is sharp, and the feeling is completely different.

But the rudder master didn't follow suit, because Xie Xiaoyu had already told him that if the meridians were not strong enough, doing so would be courting death.

"Although "The True Explanation of Sword Talisman" is unfathomable, it is a pity that it is only a commentary, and there is no way to practice it. You can find another sword technique to practice." Xie Xiaoyu said this half out of good intentions, this is his way, and on the other hand Part of it was selfishness, he was afraid that the helmsman would plunge into the true interpretation of the sword talisman and find out something in the end.

He never dared to underestimate the wisdom of others, even an idiot may be smart for a while.

"Which sword technique do you think is the most suitable?" Su Mingcheng was completely convinced by Xie Xiaoyu now, so he asked directly.

"That's not the right question. I said Taiqing's Sword Sutra of Boundless Birth and Death is very good, and Hunyuanhun's sword art is even better. Do you have a way to get it?" Xie Xiaoyu asked with a smile.

Su Mingcheng understood that this was a joke with him. Although he had never heard of the Taiqing Boundless Life and Death Sword Sutra and Hunyuan Hunyi Sword Art, he could guess from the words that it was something extraordinary.

"You'd better get a few more Sword Cultivation Secret Records, get as many as you can, and then choose the most suitable one from them." Xie Xiaoyu actually wanted to say, don't be so ambitious.

"Brother, help me take a look." Su Mingcheng took out a few exercises from his sleeve.

Someone had already persuaded him to switch to other methods. Although he still couldn't make up his mind, he had already done the preparation work. These few sword cultivation methods were usually collected.

These exercises are all the same as the "Lishi Jing", thin booklets, just copied copies, not the original secret collection like "The True Explanation of Sword Talismans".

Xie Xiaoyu flipped through it casually, but this time he didn't look so carefully.

These exercises are much stronger than the "Lishi Jing", but they are incomparable with "Six Rufa" and "The True Explanation of Sword Talisman", and they are not even of reference value.

After looking through all of them, he picked out a copy of "Xuanming Qisha Dafa" and threw it into the hands of Master Su.

Seeing that this exercise was picked out, Su Mingcheng lost even the last trace of doubt.

At the beginning, he also asked the hall master for advice, and the hall master also chose this book, but at that time, the hall master thought about it for a quarter of an hour, and it was obviously not enough.

"Xuanming Qisha Dafa" is not a pure sword cultivation method, but there is a kind of method in it, which can be practiced into Xuanming Qisha sword.

To practice this sword, one needs to ingest fierce souls to refine it into the sword, and then infiltrate the seven evil spirits.

Once refined, it can communicate with yin and yang, borrow the power of ghosts and gods, and the flying sword itself will become tangible and intangible, strange and unpredictable.The lethality is also terrifying. Once blood is seen, the seven evil spirits will invade and take people's lives in an instant, which is extremely sinister and ruthless.

Back then, the hall master had explained to him the reason for choosing this sword technique.

The material of Xuanming Qisha Sword itself is not important, what is powerful is the power of ghosts and gods and the poison of Qisha, which fits the characteristics of the sword amulet.Besides, what Tianbao Prefecture lacks most is all kinds of poisonous miasma and evil spirits, not to mention the seven evil spirits, even the seventy evil spirits, and the seven hundred evil spirits can be found.

Picking up the "Xuanming Qisha Dafa", Su Mingcheng sat aside and began to read it. This time, he didn't need to change his cultivation, so he didn't have any worries. Now this opportunity is rare, and someone next to him will point out that it will take several days to return to Linhai City. Miss it It's a pity.

The uncle didn't talk anymore, he had already started, so he naturally wanted to continue to go up. When it comes to hard work, he will definitely not be inferior to Xie Xiaoyu.

The three practiced separately.

The flying ship was sailing above the clouds, and the cabin was quiet. Xie Xiaoyu was still playing with the sword talisman, and the sword talisman was passing between his hands, and the speed was getting faster and faster.He now only spends one hour a day practicing Qi, which is the limit, no more. The rest of the time is either practicing control or making talismans.Master Su is meditating in the corner, and he has already started to practice the Xuanming Qisha Sword.The uncle got into the cargo hold, holding the big iron box containing the metal ingots, working there for strength, and when he ran out of strength, he sat on the box and breathed and adjusted his breath.

The whole voyage passed in silence.

Two days later, Linhai City arrived.

The city looks so lively no matter what time of day it is.

It was already night when the spaceship landed, but looking down from the sky, the whole city was brightly lit, the closer to the center, the brighter the lights, and the lights were colorful and blurred.

Coming out of the landing point, Master Su bid farewell to the two of them.

After parting, Xie Xiaoyu asked the uncle, "Go home first?"

Of course the uncle wants to go home and have a look first, but he can't say that.

"Let's go to Zhongyi Hall first. It's the busiest time in the entrance of the hall. During the day, everyone is busy with making ends meet. There are no people in the entrance of the hall." The uncle walked quickly to the intersection and waved towards the distance.

There was a row of two-wheeled vehicles parked a hundred paces away, with lanterns hanging in front of the vehicles. The drivers were sitting on the running boards bored, but when they saw someone calling, they all got up immediately.

The uncle didn't wait for them to approach, and shouted: "Loyalty and righteousness."

Most of the coachmen turned their heads and went back to their original places, continuing to sit on the running boards to rest. Only two cars approached, and the word loyalty was written on the lanterns in front of them.

The uncle sat down in the car in front, and said in a dignified manner, "Go to the entrance."

"You sit still." The coachman yelled, pulled up the cart and left.

Xie Xiaoyu got into the rear one. He had never been in this car before, so it felt quite fresh.

Compared with his figure, the seat seems too big, the cushion is a bit hard, and because there are many people sitting on it, it is very slippery, and the person pulling the cart is in front, and there is a smell of sweat on his body, so it is not very Comfortable.

Given the choice, he would rather walk.

Being idle and bored, what is he planning to buy in his mind?
It would be best if you could buy pills.

However, it is unlikely.

The monks in Tianbao Prefecture were either unable to get along in other places, or they were exiled here, and alchemists are very popular everywhere, it is impossible not to get along, and the government is not willing to exile alchemists here. Sentenced to serve in the army.

Without alchemists, there is also a lack of pills.

In Tianbao State, elixir is a scarce resource among scarce resources.

Therefore, the most hopeful thing is to get a prescription for nourishing the meridians and protecting the veins.

He originally wanted to buy it from Xinletang, and he would not even walk the road with the Su Tuozhu, but he couldn't persuade the uncle, and the uncle recommended him to come to Zhongyitang.

He could guess what the uncle was thinking, he must have the intention of returning home, and wanted to let people he knew before see his current achievements.There must be reasons for missing old feelings, but in the end, he still harbored resentment towards that Su Tuozhu, and didn't want Xin Letang to get this good deed.

Xie Xiaoyu didn't care about these things, as long as he didn't delay his affairs.

In addition to the alchemy formula, he must also have a dan tripod, some talisman paper, and adjusted cinnabar and a talisman brush.

Fortunately, he was not in vain in the Sutra Pavilion, alchemy, tool making, talisman making, formation... everything is good.

At the beginning, he studied so much and learned so many things because he had no foundation, and his aptitude was average, so he could only rely on himself.

Thinking about things in my heart, time passed quickly, and the person pulling the cart had slowed down before I knew it.

Looking up, the first thing I saw was a towering archway.

It is also an archway, and it is completely incomparable with the archway where Er Zi and his family live. The archway in front of them is made of stone, and it is the hardest granite.The archway is inlaid with gold and jade, and in the center is the four vermilion characters of loyalty, justice, and integrity. On both sides of the archway, a string of red lanterns hangs down, illuminating the front of the door in a lively manner.

There are people coming and going downstairs under the archway, coming in and out, there are groups of threes and fours outside the door, and there are even shadows inside the door.

"Here we are." The uncle stepped down with one step. He was originally tall, but now his back is straight and his chest is bulging, making him look more energetic.

Xie Xiaoyu got out of the car, and walked in. He had seen many magnificent places. The mountain gate before was very grand, with a touch of immortality. He had also seen many lively places. What? Temple fairs, bazaars, and Shangyuan Festival are all crowded with people, but this is the first time I have seen a place with these two feelings at the same time.

Inside the archway is also a large courtyard, which is large enough to accommodate a thousand people. In the center of the courtyard, hundreds of teenagers are practicing boxing with a boxer. The whirring sound attracted many people to stop and watch.

On both sides of the courtyard are two rows of wing rooms, all of which are shops. A cloth curtain is hung on the door of the first room of the two rows of wing rooms. On the left side of the cloth curtain is a big gourd, hanging a pot to help the world. Needless to say, it is the uncle. The doctor who saw the doctor for free mentioned above has this gossip painted on the curtain on the right, and the word "mountain" is written underneath.Xie Xiaoyu also understood that this was fortune telling. The word "mountain" has two meanings, one refers to a mountain person, that is, not in the secular world, and the other refers to a half-immortal, and the word "mountain" is exactly half of the word "immortal".

He looked at the two curtains, and suddenly felt that someone was looking at him.

There were people in those two rooms. One was a doctor in a short shirt and a square cap. He looked to be in his 30s, with a short beard around his lips, very light eyebrows, narrowed eyes, and a slightly fat body.The other one is a fortune-teller, wearing a long green robe, three feet long beard, white hair tied in a bun, but his face is as white as an eight or nine-year-old child. the taste of.

These two people sat there quietly, looking very ordinary, but the doctor gave Xie Xiaoyu a feeling of being pricked by needles, forcing him not to look more. The other fortune teller was like a mine, deep and dark, so People can't see through it at all.

"Is the doctor in the gang the incense master or the rudder master?" Xie Xiaoyu asked the uncle in a low voice.

"No, just like me, it's just an ordinary helper, but Doctor Zhou has countless living people, so everyone respects him no less than Master Xiang." The uncle said and cupped his fists at the doctor. He had troubled the doctor a lot before. .

"This doctor and the fortune-teller on the opposite side are very secretive. They are much more powerful than Su Duozhu." Xie Xiaoyu became more and more interested in Zhongyitang.

With such two well-hidden masters sitting in town, it's no wonder that Zhongyitang can become one of the best gangs here.

"There's no need to go to the master who taught you the exercises, just go to them." Xie Xiaoyu walked straight towards the doctor.

The doctor stood up from a distance, he made Xie Xiaoyu feel the pressure, and Xie Xiaoyu also made him feel the pressure, his eyes hurt like they were cut by knives.

"Your Excellency is not from our hall?" The doctor asked directly.

"He is." Xie Xiaoyu pointed to the uncle.

The doctor originally wanted to say that if the rules of the gang are clearly written, only the members of the gang will have benefits, at most it will benefit their wives and children.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard the voice of Zhang Tiezui from outside: "What does this little brother want? We don't dare to say anything here, but what we don't have here, there are probably nine out of ten other places." Can't find it either."

That sounds like a boast.

However, as one of the top gangs in Linhai City, they are indeed qualified to say such things.

But the doctor heard another meaning, Tie Zuozhang hurriedly ran over from the opposite side, and said such words again, just to give him a hint, don't push the guests away.

Rules are dead, but people are alive.

"What do you want to buy?" asked the doctor.

"The elixir, the elixir that nourishes the meridian and protects the veins." Xie Xiaoyu didn't mention the elixir, he didn't want to make trouble for nothing.

It is true that an alchemist is a treasure anywhere, but it is even more reasonable to say that it is a crime to conceive a jade.

"No." The doctor shook his head again and again: "There is no such thing here, and it is impossible to have it anywhere else."

"The elixir for meridians and meridian protection is useful for everyone, and everyone can use it. As soon as this elixir comes out, people will definitely buy it and use it up immediately." The fortune teller hurriedly explained, but he is not a doctor With such a solid eye, he changed the subject and said: "There is no way, every half a month there will be a ship coming from the middle of the earth, there are our people on board, they are responsible for transporting things that are not available in Tianbao Prefecture, and medicine pills are one of them." Class. If your Excellency is willing to wait, we will ask someone to buy some pills for nourishing meridians and protecting meridians in Tianbao Prefecture."

Xie Xiaoyu pondered for a while, Su Ruozhu of Xinle Hall also said the same, the slightly larger halls in Tianbao Prefecture had people staying behind in Zhongtu.

"How long will it take to go back and forth like this?" He wanted to confirm again.

"One year." Tie Zuizhang reluctantly stretched out a finger. It would take half a year for them to bring the letter there, and another half year for them to buy the elixir and send it back.

Xie Xiaoyu is not interested anymore, he doesn't intend to wait so long, the year before the age of 20 is equivalent to the next ten years, he has already wasted a year, and he doesn't want to waste another year.

If there is no ready-made elixir, you can only get elixir.

"Then do you have any alchemy recipes in your hand? I have a friend who knows a little about alchemy. I really can't do it. I want him to try." Xie Xiaoyu didn't talk about herself, but made a friend who didn't exist.

As soon as he said that, the doctor on the opposite side showed surprise, and the fortune teller next to him showed a little more joy.

"Alchemy is not an easy task. Among the three major arts, alchemy is not the most difficult, but alchemy must be the most expensive. It may be difficult to achieve success in alchemy alone." Tiezui Zhang reminded.

This is true.

Among the three items of talisman making, utensil making and alchemy, talisman making is the easiest and the most difficult, because if you want to make any kind of talisman, you must know some spells.Making utensils is the most difficult and the easiest, because making utensils needs to be forged in a big fire, and you have to beat them vigorously. You also need to study talismans and formations. The requirements are many and high, so it is the most difficult, but most of the materials used to make utensils are metal It can be refined and reused repeatedly, and there are not many talismans and formations that need to be used. After decades of research, there will always be some achievements, so the number of tool makers among the three masters is actually the largest. Alchemy and tool making are just the opposite, and the threshold is not very high. High, it is difficult to achieve something.Most of the alchemy materials come from plants and trees. Once it fails, all the materials will be discarded. What's more troublesome is that each medicinal material has its own characteristics. What can make one kind of alchemy well may not be able to make another kind of alchemy. Teachers are all piled up with mountains of waste.

"We're going to try it out." Xie Xiaoyu didn't accept the fortune teller's kindness at all, he turned his head and asked the doctor again: "I just want to know if there is such a prescription?"

"Yes." The doctor is also interested, Zhongyi Hall has no shortage of masters, but alchemists are different.

Now he finally understands why Tiezui Zhang came here, obviously this guy has figured out something.

"It's impossible to keep something as important as Dan Fang outside, let's go to the inner hall." The doctor made a gesture of invitation.

Xie Xiaoyu frowned, this was not what he expected, what he originally thought was, buy what you have, and leave if you don't have anything, why do you have to go to the inner hall now.

Is the inner hall so easy to visit?

These two people sitting at the gate are both capable of peak qi training, and the inner hall doesn't know what kind of master is hiding!

Even if there are no masters, this is the opponent's territory. The opponent has many people and powerful forces, and there must be a formation. Once the two sides turn their faces, he may be in danger.

Having been framed by someone inexplicably, Xie Xiaoyu's heart is shrouded in a large shadow. No matter what happens to him, he always thinks of the worst possibility first.
