Chapter 85 Three Years of Taoism (please ask for monthly votes)
Returning to the Taoist temple, I took it to my second senior brother for advice.
The second senior brother glanced at it and smiled.
"When I heard you say it, I knew that this was probably the opportunity you met in the mountains."
"What's this?"
Lin Jue and his junior sister looked at him curiously.
Only the fox digs holes on the bluestone for fun, even if he can't dig them out.
"I don't know what it is. I only know that Xianyuan Temple calls it 'Dragon Eye', and we call it 'Dragon Eye'." The second senior brother said with a smile, "It's called 'Dragon Eye' because it looks round.
There is also a legend that there was a dragon entrenched here in the mountain. It is called 'Alchemy Fruit' because it is round and looks like an elixir, and there is a legend that an ancient emperor once made elixirs here."
He paused for a moment:
"In our Fuqiu Temple, a senior who specializes in alchemy has recorded its origin, but we don't know whether it is true or not."
"What's the origin?"
"It is said that there are ancient immortals in Yishan Mountain. They often play chess and drink tea on Tiandu Peak. What they eat are immortal fruits that are rare in the world. After eating, they throw the core of the fruit down the mountain. If they can get the chance to take root and sprout, it will become a miracle.
It’s one of the few spiritual fruits that can be found in this mountain but cannot be found.”
"Then what effect does it have?" Lin Jue asked.
"If you eat the birds and beasts in the mountains, even if they were extremely ordinary before, you can immediately become a spirit. If you eat the fairies and ghosts in the mountains, you can increase your spiritual wisdom and talent. The increase in Taoism and magic power is not much, but it is equivalent to not knowing the spiritual method."
More than ten years of hard training.”
"Have people eaten it?"
"Mortal people don't know, I haven't seen anyone eat it. If a Taoist cultivator eats it, it will be as hard as an ordinary Taoist who studies spiritual methods for three years. From now on, it can be as few as a few years or as many as ten years, and the practice will be several percent faster. If
Feeling the charm of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, it feels like having divine help."
"So powerful!" Lin Jue was a little surprised, "Can it be used to make elixirs?"
"What thing in this world cannot be used to make elixirs? It's just that it's not easy to find such a rare thing, so where can we get its elixir recipe?"
"Then this is the only way to eat?"
Lin Jue thought for a while, this was neither a spell nor an elixir, and even thinking about ancient books would have no effect.
"Eat it, eat it, this is the only time in this life." The second senior brother said casually, "Many amazing spiritual fruits and elixirs have this in common, that is, they have overlapping effects, and you can only take one pill in your life.
If you take more, the effect will be very weak. Unless the second one you get is more effective and you can get the extra medicinal properties, it is almost impossible to make a fundamental change. Unless you get the one the immortal took."
"Is it like the Giant Spirit Pill?"
"You can take three giant pills."
"Have all the senior brothers eaten?"
"It's natural."
"No wonder..."
If the effect of taking the second pill is very poor, not much better than the elixir made from ordinary spiritual plants, then there is no need to spend so much effort on watering it, and there is no need to waste this natural treasure. Besides, it is also
It's not something you can find casually, and watering it requires a lot of spiritual fluid. It takes an unknown number of spiritual plants, so it's not cost-effective.
Lin Jue knew its preciousness.
"Then after we finish eating the core, can we plant it again?" the junior sister asked.
"No one has ever grown one."
"oh……"
The junior sister showed regret.
Lin Jue looked thoughtful.
In my hometown, Shu Village, there is a legend that three aunts went to Yishan to steal fairy peaches and ate them to become immortals. In fact, to be precise, they did eat fairy peaches, but some people also built temples for them. I don’t know what the so-called immortality means.
It’s hard to tell whether the credit for the peaches or the temple incense was due to each.
I don’t know what kind of fairy fruit they encountered.
Could it be that while traveling in the mountains, I accidentally walked into the fairy orchard and picked the original fairy fruit?
If the record of Senior Fuqiu Guan mentioned by the second brother is true, I can guess that after the fairy fruit was eaten, the core of the fruit fell to the ground and took root. It was discovered and cultivated by the mountain spirits, and the spiritual fruit grew. And the cultivation of the spirits is naturally better than
Without the care of the gods, the spiritual fruit is not as effective as the fairy fruit. After eating it, the fruit core will not grow out.
"..."
That Golden Rooster Taoist friend should be disappointed.
"What about the leaves and trunk?"
"Huh? The tree trunk you got is quite thick." The second senior brother looked down and seemed a little surprised.
"We got the bottom one."
"The one I got at the beginning was also the lowest one, and it was thinner than what you got."
"Maybe we watered it diligently, or maybe there were more monsters watering this time."
"You are lucky." The second senior brother smiled and did not delve into the reason. He just continued to answer, "I have no use for it, but it can be used to make bean soldiers. Among the three most powerful bean soldiers of your third senior brother
Two of them were carved from it, and the shields and bows of the other bean soldiers were also carved from it."
"Are there only two third senior brothers?"
"Do you think everyone is as lucky as you guys? They are all tree trunks that are just suitable for making bean soldiers. Not to mention whether the trees you encounter are that big, some of them are just branches and no trunks at all. It is enough for your third senior brother.
Used to make bows and spears." The second senior brother said, "And have you forgotten, the senior brother also has to learn to be a bean soldier."
"That's true..."
There is no doubt that if anyone among the senior brothers in Guanzhong obtained suitable tree trunks and branches before, no matter how precious the thing was, it must have been given to the senior brother and third senior brother, and only they could use it.
There are only a few people in the Taoist temple, and it is quiet and boring in the mountains. Even cooking is done in turns. Not only do we depend on each other, but we also help each other. What are we going to do if we don't leave it to the brothers?
While Lin Jueru was thinking this, he could already feel the eyes of his junior sister looking over.
"What about the leaves?"
"Master used it to make tea, which was very unpleasant to drink. I touched its medicinal properties and used it to make elixirs, but the effect was only about the same as the ordinary spiritual plants on the mountain. Your third senior brother also chewed a few tablets
, if you are interested, you can ask him how it tastes."
The second senior brother said, as if he suddenly remembered:
"By the way! Aren't you going to go to the Mingqian Mountain Jiao Festival? You can take it there and ask. If you meet a Taoist friend who knows what he's doing, it's better to change it to anything instead of using it to make tea."
"knew."
"Go back and eat the fruit early. The aura in the fruit is so strong that it cannot be sealed or preserved by picking methods. It will inevitably disperse within a day." The second senior brother waved his hand.
Lin Jue nodded and thanked his second senior brother.
As expected, after walking out of the alchemy pavilion and before entering the door of the Taoist temple, the three tree trunks had already belonged to Lin Jue.
At this time, the little junior sister was holding a pill fruit in her hand, and Lin Jue was holding two pills in his hand. The fox in front was heartless and running and jumping. He jumped towards the pine tree next to him.
It was so light, it kicked off the tree trunk and fell back to the ground, then continued running without stopping.
"Fuyao."
"?"
With a cry, it stopped and turned its head to look at people.
Seeing Lin Jue waving, it ran back slowly.
Lin Jue took out one of them.
"It is said that if an ordinary beast eats one, it will turn into a spirit immediately. I will give you this one to see if you can turn into a spirit."
After saying that, he threw it towards it.
The fox turned his head and took it lightly, then looked at Lin Jue strangely, as if he had always thought that he was just doing odd jobs, but he didn't expect that he actually had a job.
"Wait for me to eat first."
Lin Jue looked at the pill fruit and didn't bother to wash it. He just wiped it on his body and put it in his mouth to bite.
As soon as the lips and teeth moved away, they were filled with a touch of fragrance. This fragrance poured into the nose and rushed to the forehead, giving an extremely comfortable feeling.
"Bah!"
Is enough juice to be heard.
It seems to be swallowed, but also like it was shed.
I ate half of it in one bite.
As expected, the ancient book had no response.
"Eat."
Lin Jue then said to the fox.
Then throw the remaining half of the dango into your mouth.
At the same time, the fox also raised his head and swallowed the egg-sized pill in one bite.
Lin Jue smashed his mouth and had endless aftertaste.
I vaguely remembered the Thousand Days Wine on Langtou Mountain——
Both of them have one thing in common, that is, even if there is no aura or other effects, the taste alone can make people miss it.
"Not good!"
Suddenly I felt a little dizzy.
This lethargy is rapidly increasing.
"Junior sister, go back to the house and eat."
Lin Jueru said this and walked back to the room.
Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw his own fox as if nothing had happened.
I didn't have time to think about anything, so I just fell down on the bed, pulled up the quilt, and fell asleep without even being able to digest it.
…
It was three days later when I woke up.
The senior brothers all had grim faces.
Lin Jue sat in the moving mountain hall, lost in thought, and experienced it carefully.
What I feel clearly is the increased Taoist mana. The second senior brother said that it is worth the three years of hard training of an ordinary Taoist. It is said that this spiritual plant has better fruiting, and it is also a big one. Maybe the effect will be better. But I don’t know how common it is.
What if the Taoist ate it? Anyway, after Lin Jue ate it, it was far less than his three years of hard training.
It can't even last a year.
At least his Taoist magic power is far from doubled.
Maybe I practice too quickly.
As for other feelings, they are as mysterious as they are mysterious.
Lin Jue and his junior sister were right.
The junior sister's feelings are similar, but her Tao Xing has grown more obviously.
According to her, it's almost doubled.
It should be because her moral conduct is not as good as Lin Jue's, but her talent is considered excellent.
"Senior brother, what about you?"
"Almost almost..."
Lin Jue looked at the little fox outside the hall again.
This fox has not become a spirit, and no obvious changes can be seen. It cannot speak, and Lin Jue cannot ask it. I heard from the senior brothers that he and his little junior sister have been sleeping these days, and only this little fox has been sleeping every day.
They were all very awake, bouncing around, and full of energy. In the meantime, they even went to the mountain to catch a pheasant and brought it back.
I still have that pheasant.
"Junior brother, you told me that what you encountered was a Danguo tree, and it was a big one. That tree is useless to other junior brothers, but to me, senior brother, it is a good material for making bean soldiers."
"Shut up." The second senior brother rolled his eyes at him, "A bottle of spiritual liquid every seven days, do you want to refine it yourself?"
"What do you know? My love with my junior brother is as strong as gold!"
"..."
Lin Jue came back to his senses and turned around and said: "Third senior brother, I have obtained three tree trunks. They can be used to make bean soldiers. How about I give you a piece?"
"Screw you." The third senior brother sighed, "Get ready. Tomorrow we will set off to Mingqing Mountain. If it is still later, we will have to rush every day."
"knew."
Mingqing Mountain is two thousand miles away from here.
The road these days is really long and steep.
Lin Jue got up and returned to the room.
I tried the spell, and as my Taoism increased, it became much more powerful.
The remaining effects will have to be seen slowly.
Then he took out his books and books that he had not used for a long time, and put a change of Taoist robes and inner clothes in. In the past six months when going down the mountain, Taoist priests basically carry iron swords, but Lin Jue looked at the hatchets and whistle sticks on the wall and hesitated for a moment.
, he still put the hatchet into the book, and the whistle stick next to the book.
I'll just load up some groceries tomorrow.
Suddenly I noticed something unusual in the room——
Lin Jue raised his head, moved his eyes, and found that the mountain breeze was pouring in through the window, and the mountain breeze was blowing a strand of fox fur flying.
When he looked down, he saw that the fox was at his feet.
"Okay, you, such a strange and powerful elixir will only make you lose your hair, right?"
The fox looked up at him with a pure expression.
Lin Jue ignored it and stepped out.
Let’s make some tart cakes to eat on the road.
Chapter completed!
