Huai'an Temple

"Master, why are you walking at night?" Xue Zhu asked strangely.

Shen Tuan didn't even look at him: "Why are you still afraid of walking at night?"

Xue Zhu scratched his head: "I'm not afraid, it's just strange. Master, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Tuan didn't answer, just walked away.Xue Zhu had no choice but to follow.This road went all the way until the next afternoon, Xue Zhu was tired and hungry, his breath was disordered, drums were beating in his abdomen, and the temple of five viscera was overturned.Shen Tuan was still calm and relaxed, walking lightly.

Xue Zhu couldn't stand it, and asked tentatively: "Master, let's not be in a hurry..."

Shen Tuan glanced at him and asked, "Tired?"

After walking for almost a day and a night, he finally spoke, and Xue Zhu answered quickly: "Good master, take a break! I'm mainly hungry! If I keep going like this, I'm going to ascend to heaven!"

Shen Tuan looked ahead and said: "The county is in front of you, let's stay overnight."

Seeing his serious face, Xue Zhu didn't dare to ask more questions, so he came to the city, found a random inn, arranged meals in the guest room, and sat opposite Shen Tuan.Looking at him a little anxiously.

As soon as Shen Tuan took the bowl and chopsticks, Xue Zhu lowered his head and ate it as if he was about to be amnesty.After a while, the hunger was relieved, and then he slowed down.

After thinking about the wording, I asked, "Master? What's wrong with you?"

Shen Tuan rolled his eyes and glanced at him, and said: "Why do you call it Hun? Hunxi returns, add name, add hometown. Didn't I teach you?"

Xue Zhu's expression relaxed: "Oh! Master, you scared me to death. I didn't talk for a day and a night. I thought it was a big deal!"

Shen Tuan frowned: "I told you to put your soul first and then your soul. You are preparing for a day, but you didn't draw the talisman?"

Xue Zhu said awkwardly: "I, I didn't see you here, I just..."

Shen Tuan asked again: "Call Tang Huanran, I gave you the soul, if you call the Yin Division ghost messenger, will you still grab it?"

Xue Zhu said with a playful smile: "It's okay! I know the judge too!"

Shen Tuan's face fell, and he put the rice bowl in his hand on the table.

Xue Zhu quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and stood up.Cautiously probing: "Master... why are you so fierce all of a sudden? Didn't it always be like this before..."

Shen Tuan rolled his eyes and said, "I'm afraid you will die before me!"

Xue Zhu hurriedly leaned forward, beat his back and squeezed his shoulders, and said flatteringly: "That's for sure! Master, you are immortal! I was right before I die!"

Shen Tuan frowned: "Stop talking nonsense!" He took out a glass vial from his bosom, only half the size of his index finger.It is crystal clear, and a small golden pill can be seen inside.Handed it to Xue Zhu, said: "After the new year, you are 19 years old. The essence has been solidified, this is a golden elixir in shape."

Xue Zhu took it without looking at it, just pulled out the cork and poured it into his mouth.Straight neck, swallowed.

Shen Tuan was taken aback: "You didn't ask why?"

Xue Zhu said with a smile: "Bring it to me, it must be something to eat! Eat first and then ask before it's too late."

Shen Tuan took a deep look at him, and explained: "This is the prescription handed down by Yiheng Dao to guard the mountain. From then on, the foundation has to be built, and two or three hundred years have passed. The body, shape and appearance have been solidified, almost stagnant. I am 300 Sui Na De Jin Dan, this year...you know?"

Xue Zhu hurriedly bowed: "Yes, I have waited for two years! I will give you a whole birthday!"

Shen Tuan's face turned dark again, and when he slapped the table, Xue Zhu quickly knelt down on his knees, lay down on his lap, and begged for mercy repeatedly: "Oh, oh, master, please spare me. What, I...I I won't call you a soul anymore!"

Shen Tuan made him grit his teeth in anger, and was taken aback when he heard the words: "What?"

Xue Zhu's eyes were sparkling, and he looked up at him: "I won't be called a soul anymore. I'll save calling some messy people. My master...is not happy."

Shen Tuan looked away from him, his voice was a little hoarse: "Nonsense, I..."

Xue Zhu put a sticker on him again, saying: "Did I guess wrong? No! This sour smell is enough for the whole city to eat dumplings!"

Shen Tuan took a quick breath and didn't answer.

Xue Zhu asked softly: "Master, what did you encounter in Han Jiu's illusion?"

Shen Tuan narrowed his eyes and twitched the corner of his mouth: "What's the name of your sword?"

……

At the beginning of Mao Shi, Shen Tuan pulled Xue Zhu up from the bed and meditated.Xue Zhu closed his eyes and protested: "I'll fall asleep sitting up!" Shen Tuan slapped a water diversion talisman on his head, and Xue Zhu stood up from the ice in the first lunar month, no more nonsense, and meditated according to his words.

Shen Tuan sat cross-legged, and said slowly: "The golden pill has to be melted slowly, and I will get used to it in the future."

Xue Zhu closed his eyes and asked, "I've never seen Master so strict before!"

Shen Tuan's slender eyes were fixed on Xue Zhu, his thin lips could not help but raised, but he said meanly: "You used to wet the bed!"

Because when he was young, the dental practice had a lot of training on the private parts of boys, and he was beaten and scolded frequently. In the first half year when Xiao Xuezhu arrived in Huai'an Temple, he often had nightmares and then wet the bed.Get up early in the morning to wash and brush.Shen Tuan was afraid that he would be ashamed, so he always pretended not to know.

When Xue Zhu heard it today, his eyebrows were red all the way to the roots of his ears, his eyelashes were trembling, and his lips were tightly pursed.

Shen Tuan got his revenge, closed his eyes and meditated.

The two returned slowly all the way, Shen Tuan changed from his previous laziness, and took Xue Zhu to practice Qi meditation every morning and evening, performing exercises and turning techniques.Xue Zhu remained expressionless all day long.The power of the golden elixir surges slowly, and it needs to be absorbed by moving, sitting and lying down.To get Huai'an, Shangyuan has already passed.

The Huai'an Temple was as usual, empty and empty, Xue Zhutong opened the fire wall and continued some more carbon fire.Another copper stove was lit and placed under the low tea table.

Shen Tuan sat cross-legged, boiled a pot of tea soup, shared two cups, and asked, "How are you?"

After Xue Zhu sat on the table, he shook the teacup slightly: "I haven't felt much in the past two days. I think I have digested it all. This golden pill is so overbearing! It almost made me paralyzed."

Shen Tuan was helpless: "From your tone, it seems that I fed you."

Xue Zhu said with a smile: "You feed me? □□ just □□!"

Shen Tuan drank the tea soup in his hand.

A few days later, Xiao Laodao came silently.Surprised, Shen Tuan grabbed the cloak to welcome him out, looked at his face, his eyes became dizzy for a while, and silently called out: "Senior brother..."

Xue Zhu was so shocked that his chin dropped to his chest.

Lao Xiao waved his hand and said: "No, I don't want to have anything to do with him in the end!"

Shen Tuan pursed his thin lips and said, "I'll do the math again!"

Old Xiao laughed: "It's only a few days left, you just can't see it."

Shen Tuan's long eyebrows were furrowed: "Impossible! Have you accumulated any merits? Have you fed the dog?" As he spoke, he turned back to the room, and personally removed the six small coins on the corners of his copper coin sword.

These six gossip copper coins are only half the usual size, not enough to fill the palm of your hand, and are pitch black and shiny.Shen Tuan made two hexagrams in succession, but there was no difference in the result.About to recalculate, Lao Xiao stopped him: "Stop, stop, don't lose your life! It's the same if you recalculate."

Xue Zhu looked at the hexagrams on the table, frowned, and asked tentatively: "Master, this, this counts as..."

Old Xiao pointed to the copper coin and said, "Accounting for my death date, there are still two months left. Junior, remember to carry the gift for me!"

Xue Zhu took a few glances at Lao Xiao, and seeing that he was still in good spirits, looking old and cunning, he blurted out: "Impossible! You made a mistake?"

Old Xiao laughed loudly and looked at Shen Tuan: "Your apprentice said you made a mistake! Did you never beat him up? Haha"

Shen Tuan rubbed his temples: "This is the Zhanqing coin nourished by the magic treasure. Yao lives for one year at a time. It is said...it can't be wrong."

Xue Zhu looked at Lao Xiao and said, "Senior, you... are also from Yiheng's lineage?"

Old Xiao leaned back, found a comfortable position, and said, "I see you have accepted Jin Dan too, right? Now I will tell you a story."

This Huai'an concept has not always been passed on alone. Nearly a hundred years ago, Shen Tuan's preaching master, under the seat of Master Qingshu, also had more than a dozen disciples.

Old Xiao Xinger had a Daoist name, Ruo Chong Zi.He has an upright temperament and is jealous of evil.You are good at formations, everything in the world can be used, and the changes are endless.

Big Brother Nathan failed and died young.Daoist Qingshu has been practicing alchemy in closed doors all year round, and doesn't care about worldly affairs.All affairs, big or small, are decided by Taoist priest Ruo Chongzi.

Old Xiao took a long breath and rolled his eyes up, as if he was recalling something: "The first time I saw Tunan, he was still in his infancy. He was dressed in silk, with a white silk stuffed in his arms, with his name, name, and birthday written on it. At first glance, it seems that the official family gave it away privately, and no one provided for it. At first, I thought that the old man picked up a child and brought it back out of good intentions. It was only later that I found out that Tunan's birth date has a lot of origins."

When Shen Tuan was young, he was looked after by many senior brothers, so his karma was the most extensive.Kung fu and kendo, spells and elixir.Mountain doctor fortune teller, geomantic omen.Everything is clear, but not very profound.

Shen Tuan's voice was a little hoarse, and he said: "The first time I saw the alchemy furnace, I felt comfortable and couldn't put it down. The senior brothers said that I am bland and lazy, with excellent Taoism skills, and no one likes it. In fact, what I am most obsessed with is alchemy."

Old Xiao sneered: "It's no wonder, that old thief not only didn't harm you, but also passed on the tradition to you."

Shen Tuan looked at Xue Zhu and said: "Do you still remember that in Quanzhou, Tang Huanran said that he met me when I was young?"

Xue Zhu nodded: "Yes, he also said, your master..."

Shen Tuan said: "Actually, I didn't see him that day. My master's lifespan was about to expire, and he refined the longevity pill from the formula of longevity. When the pill was completed, auspicious clouds covered the top, and a strange fragrance wafted through his nostrils. At that time, there were still some incense in the Zhenjun temple. Tang Huanran came here looking for this vision."

Old Xiao sneered: "Auspicious clouds cover the top of the bullshit, and the blood is soaring to the sky! He was eager for success, and everything was incomplete, so he forced the alchemy. He killed fourteen of my siblings! What kind of vision are you talking about!"

Shen Tuan closed his eyes and said nothing.

63 years ago, the real life of Qing Shu was 370 years old.The face is like a crown of jade, and the black hair is tall and straight, but only 35 or [-] looks.He was looking at Shen Tuan with great interest.

The 15-year-old Shen Tuan has fine eyes and thin lips, which are quite clear.He took a good look at the furnace in front of him. It was as tall as half a man, with three legs and nine rings, and Yin and Yang seal carvings.Seeing Daoist Qingshu looking over, he hurriedly straightened his body, bowed his head and said, "Master! Call me, what's the matter?"

Master Qingshu said: "Tunan, I heard that you have become a Hunyuan Pill recently? When I was 40 years old, I hadn't seen the way of the Hunyuan Pill yet. It's really a formidable young man!"

Shen Tuan endured it, but still curled the corners of his mouth upwards: "It's all because of the master's teaching!"

Daoist Qingshu shook his head slowly: "Successful alchemy has its own predestined method, and the prescription is there. Eight out of ten will fail."

Before he could finish speaking, he waved his long sleeves, and Shen Tuan fell down in response.Master Qingshu turned his head and said to himself: "Sure enough, someone is born with a fairy bone, and you will surely live forever!"

Stretch out your hand and unscrew the cauldron, the white mist is transpiring, and the fairy air is lingering.The spiritual light came out through the tripod and went straight to the sky.

Daoist Qingshu's eyes were red, he picked up a pill from the cauldron, walked towards Shen Tuan, muttering, "If you take this pill, you will live forever, and you will definitely... look like a madman, with lips and eyebrows trembling.

Suddenly, a sigh came.Daoist Qingshu suddenly raised his head, and at some point, leaning on the door frame of the Dan room, there was a man in black clothes and a gold belt, with contemptuous eyes and looks like a dandy.Seeing his eyes, he sighed again: "Hey! Daoist Qingshu, we thought you had given up long ago. Unexpectedly, you would go so far as to try the pill with a living person?"

Daoist Qingshu gritted his teeth: "Tang Bing? Are you too arrogant to hinder my business?!"

Tang Bing smiled indifferently: "I don't dare! Someone dares. I won't stop you either. I'm just passing on a message to Lord Qi. The length of life, each has its own destiny, and you can't force it." He looked again and fainted on the ground Shen Tuan: "Immortal bones of immortality, the way of heaven is not aware of it. Even if there is immortality, it is him, not you." After finishing speaking, he reluctantly cupped his hands, turned around and left.

Daoist Qingshu lost his momentum, his face turned green and red, he took the elixir in the tripod, stepped out of the elixir room, and never looked at Shen Tuan again.
