Chapter 195: Resurrection Elixir When Master Yunchan heard that they were interested in Juxian Mansion, he did not hesitate to give a detailed introduction: "Since the You Dynasty, the prime minister established the Juxian Mansion, which was intended to gather extraordinary people from all over the world to help the court exorcise demons. "In the previous dynasty, Taizu was incomparable in style and thought that the court and the army alone could exterminate demons and intimidate people outside of Buddhism and Taoism, so he did not set up the Juxian Palace. Until the female empress of the previous dynasty reopened the Juxian Palace, she only collected some strange people who were good at entertaining people with drama and performed for fun. "In the early years of this dynasty, it was about the same, with some able to exorcise demons, others skilled in theatrics and even other magic. "However, the capital is the ancient capital of three dynasties, and the Juxian Mansion is also inherited from the You Dynasty. It is said that the Prime Minister of the Great You Dynasty is an immortal who has descended to the earth. In my opinion, even if it is not true, he must be a real person with great cultivation. Therefore, there are often some rare books in the Juxian Mansion, which is also the reason why some cultivators are willing to go there to serve." Lin Jue listened silently and thought to himself. It sounds like a good place to settle down in the capital and collect magic spells. There is no reason why the predecessors of Fuqiu Temple would not know about this kind of place. Those predecessors who did not practice in a fixed Taoist temple after coming down the mountain probably went to Juxian Mansion to eat the imperial food. I wonder if it left a reputation. …… Master Yunchan really came to visit them.
Perhaps out of respect for the cultivators who were willing and able to eliminate evil spirits, or perhaps out of a sense of sympathy for those who also wanted to serve the people, he came to visit. His intentions were simple, and he did not deliberately strike up a conversation, make friends, or engage in other business dealings. He left the next day. There were only four people left in the Taoist temple, and it was extremely quiet. The weather gradually became colder. It’s all because of the autumn rains, each one colder than the last. Lin Jue was in the room, counting the silver and money carefully. The fox lay beside him, resting his chin on the bed, staring at him with blinking eyes. "call……" A puff of white smoke emerged from the wood carving and transformed into a big-headed ghost. The process was very smooth. At this time, the silver-eating ghost had plump cheeks, rosy face, and chubby arms and legs. After coming out, he stared straight at the silver in Lin Jue's hand. Lin Jue counted out about twenty taels and handed it to the silver-eating ghost. "Take it and eat it." "Thank you, Masato!" The silver-eating ghost took it immediately. He took a quick glance at the remaining silver and saw that there were probably only a dozen taels left, and his heart sank. Lin Jue was also a little worried. At this time, almost all the money Lin Jue had was earned in Cuiwei County. Since arriving in Cuiwei County, he has been feeding the silver-eating ghost twenty taels of silver every month, in exchange for two Lingyuan Pills, one for himself and one for the fox. His expenses were terribly high. If there were no silver-eating ghost, ten or twenty taels of silver would have been enough for them to use for a long time. But now there were only a dozen taels of silver left, and they actually started to worry. Lin Jue couldn't help but smile, put away the silver, looked at the silver-eating ghost who was eating silver like candy beans, and asked: "I want to ask you something." Upon hearing this, the Silver Eater immediately put down the silver in his hand: "Please ask, real person!"
"No need to do that. You continue eating and we can chat casually." Lin Jue paused and said, "Since you are a famous alchemy creation and have lived for a thousand years, I wonder if you know some alchemy recipes?" "A pill recipe? Are you interested in pursuing the path of pills?" "I don't have such intention, but my senior brother is devoted to the Dao of Alchemy and has made some achievements in this field." Lin Jue said, "It's just that our Fuqiu Temple is not a formal Dao of Alchemy after all. It's a pity that his heart for seeking the Dao and his talent are lacking in the recipe of the alchemy." "I see!" The silver-eating ghost quickly swallowed the silver in his mouth and said as he thought: "Although I am a creature of the alchemy path, I do not make pills, nor do I like alchemy. However, after living for so many years, I have heard of several good pill recipes. But firstly, I only know the pill recipes and the general refining methods, but not the detailed tricks. Secondly, I have to think carefully, and I don't know if I am wrong." "It's okay. You can think about it slowly after you finish eating." As long as there is a recipe for the elixir, Lin Jue has no shortage of detailed know-how, and as long as it is recorded in ancient books, he has the ability to distinguish the true from the false. It didn't take long for the silver-eating ghost to finish eating all the 20 taels of silver. It also sat beside Lin Jue and thought carefully: "I remember a few pill recipes. The simpler ones include the Giant Spirit Pill, which can strengthen your body and increase your strength. There is also the Golden Light Pill, which can stimulate the magical power of golden light to protect your body after taking it for a period of time. The better the pill is, the better the effect will be." Lin Jue was surprised when he heard this. He knew about this giant elixir. I still remember that when Second Senior Brother first saw the "fake Giant Spirit Pill" made from the residue of the real Giant Spirit Pill, he said that this kind of pill was not easy to refine, but in the mouth of the Silver-Eating Ghost it was just a simpler pill? As expected, he is the creation of a great alchemy master, and his vision is very broad. Then he heard the Silver Eater continue: "The more difficult ones include Lingyuan Dan, which is what real people often take; and Zhuyan Dan, which is vomited by the Golden Ghost. If a woman takes it regularly, she can stay young forever. However, it will only work if she is a virgin. Otherwise, it must be taken with other pills. "The more difficult ones include the Fish Transformation Pill and the Crane Transformation Pill. After taking them, one can transform into a swimming fish or a crane. The better the pill is, the longer it will take. “The most difficult, the most difficult one is the unique golden elixir of the great alchemist who created me, the Shenhua Huisheng Golden Elixir. At first, it could make people become immortals on the spot. Later, although it no longer had the function of making people immortal on the spot, it could still bring people back to life after death. "That's all I can remember for now." When it came to the final resurrection elixir, it was obviously a little hesitant, but it still said it. "Golden elixir? Resurrection from the dead?" Lin Jue couldn't help but be surprised. There's actually an ancient elixir formula hidden in the mind of this silver-eating ghost? But it sounds like a recipe for an elixir that has fallen into the mortal world. "I dare not deceive you, it is indeed possible to bring a person back to life." The silver-eating ghost said honestly, "If a person is dead, as long as he still has a body or soul, if the body is still there, put the elixir into the mouth of the body, or cut the body open and put it into the stomach. If the soul is still there, let the soul absorb the elixir, and within three days, he will definitely be resurrected. If the elixir is taken before the person dies, within a few days, even if the soul is scattered and the body is gone, he can be reborn somewhere in the world, but he may not have the ability to practice Taoism." "It's so..." After hearing this, Lin Jue was even more surprised. Is this the great magical power? As he got to know the Dao of Alchemy for a longer time, he could understand more and more what his second senior brother had said - Before the birth of the Lingfa School, all cultivators in the world were alchemists. Whether it was becoming an immortal or achieving immortality, prolonging life or regaining youth, no matter what abilities they acquired, they were all accomplished through alchemy and elixirs. It can be said that each elixir was a kind of magical power. This golden elixir is the "supernatural power" of that powerful person. Bringing the dead back to life and recreating life is truly worthy of the word "great power".
At the same time, thinking in this way, most of the ancient "golden pills" had their own effects, in addition to making people immortal. Even after falling into the mortal world and no longer having the effect of making people immortal, they still had their original effects, and these effects were still extraordinary. For example, this magical elixir of life can bring the dead back to life. For example, the Four-Directions Five-Element Golden Pill given to him by Lady Yaohua is in line with the spiritual school. Even if one falls into the mortal world, it can help people achieve enlightenment, consolidate their Taoism and comprehend the spiritual charm of the Four-Directions Five-Element. "The main material of the Giant Spirit Pill is linden. The older it grows, the more spiritual it is, the better..." The Silver Eater began to tell the story. Lin Jue also picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and began to write. He had already known about the Giant Spirit Pill and the Lingyuan Pill, and had already written them down. But it doesn’t hurt to write it again. The fox came over to watch him write. This is a farewell gift to my second brother and also a gift in return to him. In the blink of an eye, another period of time passed. The evil god had been eliminated and the famine was slowly getting better. Although the second brother was still refining famine relief pills, there were not many people left. Then it was time to say goodbye. Several people packed their bags and put them on the backs of donkeys or horses, and the cart had already been sold. "Second Brother, Second Brother, I want to stay with you for a while longer, but the weather is getting colder. If we wait any longer, we will have to wait until next spring." The third brother said to the second brother while leading the horse, "You live in a remote place. No one comes here. You have to find a way to get to know some people in the city so that you can bring letters to other brothers and sisters." "Let's talk about it later." “Remember to buy a donkey.” "Where are you going first?" asked the second brother. "The remaining Taoist temple is outside the capital, so we'll naturally go to the capital. But Junior Brother is very interested in the cave of Goddess Yaohua in Qingyan County and wants to go take a look. Qingyan County happens to be between here and the capital, so I guess it's a bit of a detour, so let's go take a look." "Stop talking and let's go." "Oh, your place..." The third brother couldn't help but look around the Taoist temple, and showed a rare anxious look: "I don't even know what you eat every day." "I have the Desert Rescue Pill." "Is that something that people eat?" "I can grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks." The two chatted for a while, and Lin Jue walked forward and handed an envelope to the second brother: "Brother, take care." "You too." The second senior brother said to Lin Jue and the younger junior sister, "If you feel that things are not good outside, come back to us. If you need any help, just ask someone to bring a letter to us." "take note of it." "take note of it!"
The two men packed their bags and led the donkey out of the mountain. The fox and the cat looked back at the second brother and followed him. At that time, eight people went down the mountain together. Walking on the mountain path, they could form a long team. Walking on the official road, they could also form a large group. Add the luggage, two donkeys and the fox running up and down, and it also felt quite a large group. Now there are only three people left. The sound of bells jingled and gradually faded away. The second brother then opened the envelope, took out the first piece of letter and took a look. This is my junior brother's handwriting. “I am going to say goodbye to my brother, and I am very sad. "I have been on the mountain for several years and have been down for half a year. My brother has taught me many things, and I really cannot repay him. "Knowing that you like to make pills and are interested in alchemy, I just happened to get some recipes for pills. I thought you might be interested, so I attached them below. There is also a spell that can make you breathe out cold air, which might be helpful in controlling the temperature, water, fire, and yin and yang when making pills. I also wrote it down and leave it to you. “Perhaps Senior Brother can achieve enlightenment through the Dao of Alchemy. "I hope we'll meet again someday." The second brother put away the letter and looked below. There are indeed several recipes for pills. The most common ones are the rare elixir recipes such as the Giant Spirit Pill and the Lingyuan Pill. If you want to talk about rare ones, there is also an ancient divine golden elixir that can bring people back to life. The second brother laughed. Not surprising. …… "Without the second and seventh brothers, I feel a lot lighter." The third brother finally rode on his horse, walking shakily and sometimes running for a while. On the contrary, since Lin Jue and his junior sister had no cart, they had to use donkeys to carry their luggage, especially Lin Jue, who had to lead the donkey while walking. The junior sister had less luggage, so she could have ridden the donkey with her luggage on her back, but when she saw her senior brother walking, she followed him. The famine situation down the mountain was indeed slightly better. The three of them passed through Langfeng County and passed by the original temple of the Qingmiao God. They saw someone busy in the temple. When they looked over, they found that they were local craftsmen who were ordered to replace the original statue of the Qingmiao God with the statue of Husheng Zhenjun. The Qingmiao Temple was then changed to Zhenjun Temple. However, due to the writings left by Lin Jue and his third senior brother in the grotto temple, someone also built a statue of the Green Emperor and prepared to place it in the side hall. The three of them looked at each other and exchanged their thoughts, but they did not stop. The Qingyan County ahead is a bit remote, with no famous mountains or scenic spots, no specialty products for sale, and not many pedestrians coming and going. Several people asked for directions along the way. It was fine when there were other senior brothers around before. Maybe they would make some plans along the way, and ask where to rest and where to eat. Now that only the third senior brother is left, he doesn't care about anything anymore and doesn't ask anything. He just goes wherever he wants. It’s just like the grand ceremony at Mingzhao Mountain in the past. The third senior brother is unreliable. He walked and walked and no one knew where he was.
Unfortunately, the weather is getting colder and colder, and sometimes it rains, so sleeping in the wilderness is no longer a good option. "Third senior brother, are we heading towards Qingyan County?" asked the younger sister. "It must be! Don't worry!" The third brother answered decisively, and added, "Even if it's not, it's still in Qinzhou. Anyway, you guys are fine. It doesn't matter where you go or which road you take." "It's going to rain tonight." Lin Jue looked up and felt the dampness in the air. This was also the skill of alchemy that his second senior brother taught him. Because the refining of some pills depends on the weather. "Huh? Really?" "Third Brother, there are no people here." The little sister looked left and right, "We haven't seen anyone for a while." When the fox heard this, it also aimed at a high place, jumped lightly, and soared straight up. One step to a higher place, another step to the treetops. It stood firmly on the treetop, where even a bird would shake when it landed, looked around, lowered its head and called out. "What did it say?" asked the third brother. "It said it didn't see any human habitation." Lin Jue said. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Didn't you learn how to talk to wild animals and birds from Old Four? You can find a bird or animal in the mountains and ask where you can stay for the night, just like Old Four did last time." "Alright." This is also a solution. But since he was just asking for directions and he wasn't in a hurry, there was no point in using magic to summon someone to ask for directions. Lin Jue looked around and saw a few sparrows standing on the grass not far away, so he walked over. (End of this chapter)
