The world of Taoism

Chapter 20 Liu Linglang

A stream of red steam lingered in the room, clinging to the walls and not dissipating for a long time.

In addition to mercury vapor, these red vapors also have various synthetic unknown things.

Zhou Xuan didn't dare to set foot in it lightly, mercury is easy to volatilize, killing people invisible.

I'm afraid it will take a while to get in.

After ventilating for a long time, Zhou Xuan was fully armed, quickly entered the quiet room, and took out the inner gall of the alchemy furnace.

Inside the inner tank is a pile of golden powder, extremely fine, like gold powder, exuding a strange fragrance.

Zhou Xuan poured the burnt honey wax into it, stirred it, and tanned it into balls the size of a little finger.

At this time, the refining of the Shensha Rhubarb Pill was completed, and there were four finished products.

Including the number of failures, the total cost is 150 taels.

expensive!
I finally know why most alchemists turn to princes and generals.

"The appearance is good!" Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

Pick one up and place it in the sun.

A translucent elixir, with golden dots in it, reflecting the sun's rays.Just like the stars.

The golden powder is wrapped in beeswax, so you don't have to worry about being poisoned when you touch it.

Zhou Xuan has a background in chemical engineering and doesn't understand pharmacology, but he is 100% sure that this stuff is extremely toxic.

No matter how many times it is refined, it will eventually contain a large amount of heavy metals that are harmful to the human body.

Several emperors have personally verified this point.

However, the way of alchemy has been developed for so many years, and this is a world with spells, maybe there are some spells that can avoid toxicity.

Zhou Xuan fed the pill to the mice.

The mouse was lying on the table, and after taking the elixir, its body convulsed violently, it was hot and red, and its gray hair showed a strange golden-purple color.

Then the mouse ran around uncontrollably, but the benefits were obvious, as its body swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

One, two, four in a row....

The night was getting darker, and the sky was as black as ink.

In a secret room.

The secret room is dark, and the light of the red candle fluctuates, making it look very gloomy.

In the middle of the secret room is an altar, and various items are placed on the table of the Eight Immortals.

The incense burns continuously, and the indoor fireworks are lingering.

A man in Tsing Yi sat in front of the altar, closed his eyes and meditated, his whole body was hidden in the fireworks, his aura was ethereal and strange.

Suddenly, the man in Tsing Yi opened his eyes, which flickered with a frightening coldness.

"Did it fail? Sure enough, I will do it myself." The man in Tsing Yi was obviously the man in black who was in front of the Landlord that day.

It was this person who made the Lu family father and son trouble Zhou Xuan.

In fact, the man in Tsing Yi didn't expect anything from the Lu family father and son, but just found out Zhou Xuan's reality.

If the information is wrong, Zhou Xuan has also practiced other spells, and if he goes rashly, he may stumble.

Through this tossing, the man in Tsing Yi probably understood Zhou Xuan's reality.

Judging from the information collected during this period, Zhou Xuan's family did not enshrine any gods, and there were no family secrets.

The medicinal materials collected during this period are estimated to be used for feeding mice.

"A monk who only knows how to repel rats?" the man in Tsing Yi muttered to himself.

What can a mouse do?
And it was a mouse not much bigger than a slap.

It seems that Jing Tiansi is really in decline, even this kind of half bucket of water who can only do one or two spells.

Thinking of this, the man in Tsing Yi walked to the altar.

Draw a spell and put it into the copper bowl on the table of the Eight Immortals.

Immediately, he took out a small knife and cut his palm severely.

The blood flowed into the copper bowl, soaking the entire talisman paper.

The man in Tsing Yi stepped on his feet, his face solemn, "Yin Ling, Yin Ling, quickly show up!"

As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind blew.

The shadows of the candles on the Eight Immortals Table swayed, as if they were about to be blown out.

The white smoke converged into a human-shaped pattern, which floated in the air,
Very weird.

"Whose name is it?" the man in Tsing Yi shouted.

"Liu Linglang!"

"Whoever eats my flesh and blood is my brother."

The man in Tsing Yi wrote the name of the ghost on the wooden sign, and Liu Linglang entered the wooden sign.

Then he chanted the mantra again: "Yin and Yin spirits live and die with you. The two worlds of Yin and Yang are brothers. If you betray me, you will fall into the nether world forever. If I betray you, you will be sentenced to death."

A golden light flashed on the wooden sign, and the name engraved on it seemed to be much more colorful.

After doing this, the man in Tsing Yi held the wooden sign in his hand, and his body seemed to be covered with a layer of moonlight.

The figure flashed and disappeared into the night sky.

The man in Tsing Yi's face was pale, but it was actually due to excessive consumption of energy and blood.

Every time you drive a ghost, you need flesh and blood to summon the ghost
That's why the man in Tsing Yi always looks sick.

Only by breaking through to the realm of induction, establishing a stable altar, and reaching the level of the realm master, can one achieve a close connection with ghosts and gods.

On the other side, Zhou Xuan didn't know what happened here.

Instead, continue feeding the mice.

After having the first successful experience, the next few times are much easier.

He started to refine a furnace of elixir again, this time only failed four or five times, and successfully refined a furnace of elixir.

The mouse swallowed eight pills in a row, and Zhou Xuan thought he had reached the limit before stopping.

The further back, the slower the growth rate of body size.

By the time the eighth pill was taken, it had grown to the size of a calf, and the golden-purple color of its hair had faded.

It is four feet five inches long, one foot five inches tall, and has five-inch red claws that are cold and gleaming like daggers.

The teeth are also five inches long, which can easily bite open the iron door.

At this time, the mouse let out a soft cry and looked around anxiously.

"The nose is opened and the eyes are clear, and the smell comes out..." Zhou Xuan silently recited the spell of catching wind and catching shadows.

"Come so soon?" Zhou Xuan sniffed lightly, his figure hidden in the night

The Zhou family was in total darkness, and in the backyard, a person slowly appeared in the shadow of the treetops.

This person covered his face, judging from his body shape, he should be the man in Tsing Yi just now.

Although this person looked down on Zhou Xuan's half-bucket of water, he still tried his best to touch the rabbit with all his strength, and he was still cautious and slowly touched it.

With the power of ghosts and gods, it can hide in the shadows.

Even sneaking in through the shadows through the cracks in the door, without the shackles of body shape.

The pitch-black night did not affect the sight of the man in Tsing Yi, and he accurately captured Zhou Xuan's room.

Zhou Xuan's room was pitch black, as if he had fallen asleep.

The man in Tsing Yi took out the wooden sign and said softly: "Liu Linglang, Liu Linglang, show up and kill quickly!"

The black light flickered away.

A strange man appeared in front of the man in Tsing Yi.

The clothes this person was wearing were very bright and colorful, like paper figurines in a coffin shop.

His skin was pale, and there were deep dark circles around his eye sockets. His entire body was translucent, hidden in the black mist.

This ghost is stronger than the hanged female ghost who appeared that day.

Gathering and dispersing are invisible, coming and going freely.

It can kill in person, or in illusion.

Whoa!

Liu Linglang disappeared, and then gathered together again, less than a second apart.

"No one!" Liu Linglang made an ethereal voice.

"Where did the person go?" the man in Tsing Yi muttered to himself.

"Are you looking for me?" Zhou Xuan's plain voice came from the ear of the man in Tsing Yi.
