soul repair

Since the brothers of the Mo family were gone, Ji Qingyan asked for a thorough search of the house.I didn't see anything else, but there was a broken stone on the bed. It was the size of a palm, but now it was broken into several small pieces.

"Why are there stones on the bed?" Guan Lingdao was puzzled.

Ji Qingyan looked at the stone and said nothing, Song Guzhui said: "After killing soul cultivators, such stones are occasionally found around them, and I still don't know what happened."

This stone is like an ordinary stone, without brilliance, without aura, and plain, as if it was picked up from the side of the road.It wouldn't be a big deal if it was placed in a cave, but it's a bit strange lying on the bed now.

Guan Lingdao looked at the stones, and suddenly climbed onto the bed, curled up and hugged the stones.Seeing his appearance, Shi Kousheng frowned: "What are you doing? Can't you go back and sleep again?" What is this old hen trying to do with its eggs?

"Why is this Mo Zhongxian sleeping with a rock in his arms?" Guan Lingdao tapped the rough surface of the rock, "This is not a spirit stone. You can find it anywhere. Why is he so rare?"

Ji Qingyan stood in the distance and looked down at him without making a sound.

The sound of the stone knocking was also puzzled. He grabbed the stone and looked at it: "It is the most common fire rock, and it can be found anywhere. Did you accidentally get it on the bed?"

"Are you okay to accidentally sleep with a stone in your arms?"

Ji Qingyan looked at them thoughtfully: "When Mo Zhongxian was practicing soul art, he was also asleep."

Song Guzhui also felt a little strange, and said softly: "This is the third time we have seen similar stones nearby, but they were not on the bed before, so we didn't pay much attention to them."

It wasn't until noon that the matters of the Mo family brothers were finally dealt with, and the group went back along the original road.Song Guzhui didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, when he came to Shangqing Palace, Ji Qingyan said: "Come tomorrow to receive the punishment."

"Yes." After speaking, Song Guzhui turned and left with his head down.

Guan Lingdao didn't have a good rest for a few days, his eyes were black and blue, he washed it casually, and fell asleep when he returned to his room.

Sleeping until midnight, he sat up dizzy and dizzy.

The old man in the deep mountain was teaching again, this time it was different from the past, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to hear, the voice ran through the valley like a dragon chant.Guan Lingdao couldn't sleep with his ears covered, and buried his head in the quilt with a mournful face.He has never been popular with old people. Except for the master, almost all the old people don't like him and want to beat him, and now even the soul is no exception.

After waiting in agony for two hours, when it was almost dawn, the sound of teaching finally stopped. Guan Lingdao couldn't take it anymore, tilted his head, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

At the right time, Ji Qingyan sat quietly in the hall of Sanchen in the Sleepless Mountain, and Song Guzhui stood beside him, telling Sanchen about the events of Baiping Town in an orderly manner.

Sanchen nodded and said, "Gu Zhui wanted Mo Zhongxian to serve the Shangqing Palace wholeheartedly, so he agreed to go to the Bai family to propose a marriage. This matter is not only about the brothers of the Mo family, but even our Shangqing Palace is wrong. If a woman marries the wrong person, then It is to kill her life, which is more hateful than killing people. You are at fault for rushing this matter, and no matter what you want to do, you must investigate clearly. "

"Yes." At this point, I can't say anything, I can only accept the punishment.

After Song Gu pursued the crime and went out, Sanchen asked: "You said that Mo Zhongxian knew nothing at first, and he didn't want to learn the soul technique of killing in a dream overnight. The soul he needed when he started practicing Where does the gas come from?"

Ji Qingyan took out a few extremely ordinary stones: "The disciple thought that this stone contained soul energy. Because Mo Zhongxian had the evil thoughts of resentment and murder in his heart, the stone was touched, so he had the soul of the teacher in his dream. Afterwards, the soul energy in the stone is gone, and it will become no different from ordinary stones——however, this is all a disciple’s guess. When the previous soul cultivators were killed, most of them had practiced soul arts for a long time. These stones have long since disappeared, so there is no real evidence."

Sanchen said: "You mean, these stones looked like spirit stones before."

"good."

Sanchen pondered for a moment, then smiled: "This trip can be regarded as some gains. Three years ago, [-]% of the soul cultivators were killed, and since then it has become a lot more secret. No one knows how they taught the soul art. You met a person who just practiced soul art, and found some clues. Misfortune is a blessing, let’s not talk about it for now, let me think of a way."

"Yes."

Ji Qingyan resigned and left the Sleepless Mountain. At a quarter of noon, he pushed open the door of the alchemy room at the foot of Muzhe Palace.The disciples were performing their duties in an orderly manner, and when they saw him suddenly appear from the door, they all stood up and saluted respectfully: "Master of the third palace."

Ji Qingyan glanced at his disciples, raised his eyebrows slightly: "Where's Guan Lingdao?"

The disciples looked at each other in blank dismay.Who is Guan Lingdao who also works in this alchemy room?

Sui Tianyou was the only person in the alchemy room who knew who Guan Lingdao was. He quickly stood up and said, "My disciple lives next door to Guan Lingdao. When I came to the alchemy room in the morning, he was still sleeping. I'll go now." Find him."

Ji Qingyan's face turned ugly, and he sat down in the alchemy room and closed his eyes.There is a stipulation in the door, except for the deacons in the Shangqing Palace, the ordinary disciples have to keep their positions at every hour of the day. Now it is past noon, and he is still sleeping?

Seeing that Ji Qingyan came to the alchemy room in person, the disciples didn't dare to make a sound, and now he was obviously in a bad mood, they all sat down and concentrated on their work, and didn't dare to make any noise.

Not long after, Sui Tianyou walked in with Guan Lingdao.Guan Lingdao seemed to have just woken up, the left half of his face was covered with reddish folds under the pressure of the straw mat on the pillow, his hair was tied up hastily, with strands of blue strands falling down on the left and right, his belt was not fastened, it was in a mess In a ball.

Guan Lingdao could see the dark clouds on Ji Qingyan's face.He thought about it and didn't know what to say, so he smiled apologetically: "Disciple got up late in the morning, I hope the Lord of the Third Palace will forgive me."

It was fine if he didn't smile, but this smile added fuel to the fire, Ji Qingyan's face turned slightly blue.

The rest of the disciples also shook their heads secretly, although Ji Qingyan was handsome and looked harmless, but who would dare to mess with his cultivation and temperament, this Guan Lingdao was too reckless.

"I heard from Palace Master Mo that you didn't come to the court meeting in Muzhe Palace a few days ago?"

The tone of these words was not right. Guan Lingdao had always firmly denied it, no matter whether he made a mistake or not.But Ji Qingyan's tone at this time was very similar to the voice of his master when he was punished for copying books for a month, Guan Lingdao didn't dare to speak for a while, and nodded obediently.

If you admit it, you will be punished, and if you don't admit it, you will be punished. This old man in the mountains really hurt him a lot.

"I got up late twice in the morning and made a mistake. There is no excuse. I will get up before dawn at Maoshi tomorrow, clean up and down the Muzhe Palace, and then spend three days facing the wall in my courtyard to think. If there is another crime in the future, I will face the wall for a month." After speaking, Ji Qingyan stood up and went out, before leaving, he said to Sui Tianyou: "Teach him how to look at the stove today."

The punishment was heavier than usual, the disciples saw that he was punished right after he entered the palace, and Ji Qingyan didn't like him, so naturally they looked down on him, and didn't want to talk to him, so they sat down to work.Guan Lingdao didn't take it seriously, and smiled beside Sui Tianyou, "Fortunately, Brother Sui is here."

Sui Tianyou has been in Muzhe Palace for so long, and he has never seen Ji Qingyan get angry.Some disciples were also punished for breaking the rules before, but Ji Qingyan was never angry, he just dealt with them sternly and selflessly in accordance with the rules.It is really rare that this Guan Lingdao can make Ji Qingyan angry.

"Why are you so courageous, you got up late twice, and just now you were facing the Palace Master and him—"

Guan Lingdao was also bitter in his heart, and said with a smile, "From now on, I will get up early in the morning."

Sui Tianyou patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "You don't understand anything when you're new here. These are trivial things. From now on, if you do things well in the future, you won't cause any trouble." As he spoke, he led Guan Lingdao to Lin Lingdao. Suddenly, he said: "This is the alchemy furnace, and you will work here every day from now on."

Guan Lingdao looked over and saw that this was a huge cave, about four or five feet high, ten feet long and wide, with ten huge alchemy furnaces placed there.He lived with his master in the deep mountains since he was a child. He had never seen such a scene before, and he was speechless for a while.The alchemy furnace is made of black black iron, with a height and width of two feet each, and green smoke is emitted from the top, and radiates from the small holes around the mountain wall. The scene is extremely spectacular.

Sui Tianyou led him to a alchemy stove and asked him to look in through the small hole on the outer layer: "Alchemy requires innate fire, and the disciples take turns to look at the stove every four hours. The fire is too strong. If you want to destroy it, if it is too weak, you have to burn the furnace with the true innate fire, your cultivation should be able to control the true innate fire."

Guan Lingdao raised his hand and sparked a small spark: "This one?"

Sui Tianyou nodded, and taught him how to control Xiantian Zhenhuo, and before he knew it, it was afternoon.Guan Lingdao asked: "There are ten alchemy furnaces here, why are there only three for alchemy?"

Sui Tianyou shook his head and said: "Nowadays, the aura is sluggish and the hostility is full. How can there be so many spirit grasses and fairy grasses? It is a blessing to have these three furnaces. When you are new here, have you ever heard an untitled poem, "Autumn is not seen in the cloud grave", Three mountains and rivers flowing backwards?"

"Slightly heard."

"This is about the Shangqing Palace a long time ago. Every autumn, the clouds of hundreds of miles around are sucked in, and the clouds cover the fog, so the Shangqing Palace is also called Qiuyun Tomb. In late autumn, the three mountains will appear again. Do you know why the waterfall flies up and the stream flows backwards?"

"why?"

"There are not many people in the Shangqing Palace who know how to make alchemy, and the Lord of the Third Palace also supervises this matter. When the furnace is used to make alchemy, the spiritual energy in the mountains will involuntarily gather, and most of the water in Qionghu Lake will be sucked up in an instant. Therefore, before winter comes, The old palace lord will perform spells, all the water from the twelve peaks of the Shangqing will flow back upside down, and the clouds will enter the Shangqing with spiritual energy, covering the sky and covering the sun - but this is all in the past, there has been less alchemy in the past two years There is no need to deliberately store water.”

"It's a pity." Guan Lingdao sighed, feeling a little fascinated.Three mountains and rivers flowing backwards, he really wanted to see what it was like.

Sui Tianyou talked to him for a while, let Guan Lingdao concentrate on watching the furnace, and walked out alone.Seeing him coming out, the people next to him couldn't help snorting: "You're really interested too. I've explained so much to him. I wish he made a mistake. Anyway, Ji Qingyan hates him, and we need to share more with him if we keep him here." The elixir, just make a mistake and let him go out."

Sui Tianyou patted the man's shoulder and said: "He's a child who doesn't understand, what are you fussing about with him? I didn't teach well, and the fault is still on me. When the time comes, just distribute the pills to him casually. How dare you say anything?"

"I feel bad for giving him anything casually." The man sighed, "You have the final say."
