Jiang Xiaodong spread his hands: "I live in seclusion here to practice, but it is not closed here. I also have a mobile phone and can see news related to you. In addition, I also have friends in the cultivation world, and they have also talked about you. Although you and I It’s our first time meeting you, but I know a lot about you. To be honest, I admire you.”
Ning Tao smiled: "Tonight's arrival is really too abrupt. I even broke Daoyou Jiang's window paper. I'm really sorry, but if you don't mind it, I'm willing to make friends with Daoyou Jiang. What do you think, Daoyou Jiang?" ?”
He stretched out his hand, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Jiang Xiaodong looked hesitant. He subconsciously glanced at Qing Zhui, who was standing in the car, and then glanced at Bai Jing out of the corner of his eye.
Qing Zhui's face was expressionless.
Bai Jing smiled and looked very friendly.
She is not as strong as Qing Zhui, who came first and turned into a dragon first, but her emotional intelligence is much higher than Qing Zhui.
Jiang Xiaodong finally looked back at Jiang Hao, who was standing behind him.
Jiang Hao nodded to Jiang Xiaodong. Although he didn't smile, it was still a friendly gesture.
Jiang Xiaodong then stretched out his hand to shake Ning Tao's hand.
However, he still seemed a little reluctant. Not for anything else, just because Ning Tao's family, especially Ning Tao's three women, put a lot of pressure on him. Making friends under such circumstances always feels a little forced.
Bai Jing has the highest emotional intelligence. She seemed to know what Jiang Xiaodong was thinking. She smiled and said: "Qing Zhui, dear sister, let's go out. We don't understand and are not interested in men talking about things. Let's go out and wait."
Jiang Hao nodded and walked towards the door.
Qing Zhui was unwilling to leave, but was pulled away by Bai Jing.
Ning Tao and Jiang Xiaodong were the only ones left in the yard.
Jiang Xiaodong felt a little better, and he smiled bitterly: "Your three wives and two dragon girls, this is the first time Jiang has seen this kind of thing after living for five hundred years. Dare I ask Fellow Daoist Ning, are you How did you do it?"
Ning Tao said: "When I was with them, they were not dragon girls, they were snake demons. I helped them turn into dragons. If they were real dragon girls from the beginning, I wouldn't dare to think anything wrong."
If Bai Jing among them was a true dragon girl from the beginning, that is, a born true dragon, she would be almost a god-like existence. He, a mortal, would not dare to think too much.
His "humility" gained Jiang Xiaodong's favor and surprise: "You actually helped two snake monsters turn into dragons. Oh my God, how did you do that?"
Ning Tao smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you said you have heard a lot about me. You must also know that I am a cultivation doctor. I am good at refining elixirs and can also refine demon bones. I refine dragon bones into their demon bones, and then supplement them with The elixirs and spiritual materials are their creation. However, this is also related to their own creation, I just gave a little help."
"You can actually refine demon bones?" Jiang Xiaodong looked surprised and curious. "I have never heard of such a thing. I wonder if Ning Daoyou can talk to Jiang about how you did it?"
Ning Tao smiled and said: "You and I hit it off as soon as we met. This way, the elder fellow Taoist and the younger fellow Taoist show their identity. Brother Jiang, you are older, so I will call you Brother Jiang, and you can just call me Brother Ning."
"Haha, brother Ning, let's talk in the room." Jiang Xiaodong immediately changed his title.
Ning Tao followed Jiang Xiaodong into a room, which was the room where the stone statue was enshrined.
There was only one hand-woven mat in the room, and there was nowhere to sit. Ning Tao was about to take off the small medicine box on his shoulder and use it as a bench to sit on when he saw Jiang Xiaodong walk to the shrine, clasped his palms together and bowed, and then He reached out and grabbed the base of the statue and rotated it to the right.
Kaka…
The ground under the shrine opened, revealing a passage. Stones extended downward step by step. Several oil lamps were hung on the stone-brick walls. The dim light illuminated the passage. You could see the secret room at the end of the passage at a glance. .
The alchemy energy that I smelled before turned out to be diffused from here.
"Please." Jiang Xiaodong ducked into the passage under the shrine.
Ning Tao followed him in and walked down the stone steps. When he walked to the end of the passage, he discovered that it was an alchemy room with a wide space. The most amazing thing was that there was an underground spring flowing through the ground. The spring water had a little... A touch of aura.
Today's world is short of spiritual energy, and cultivators are trying every means to find spiritual energy, even if it means breaking a dike dozens of meters away. If it weren't for the aura of this underground spring, Jiang Xiaodong obviously wouldn't have dug so deep underground to build an alchemy room to refine elixirs.
In the middle of the alchemy room stands an alchemy cauldron. The cauldron is half a person tall, bronze-colored, and has a fat belly, a bit like a jar for pickled vegetables. The tripod is engraved with runes, as well as bamboo and the totem of King Yelang. It is an alchemy tripod with a minority style.
There are also some spiritual materials, bookshelves and beds. It seems that Jiang Xiaodong often lives here.
"That cauldron is called the Golden Bamboo Cauldron." Jiang Xiaodong pointed to the alchemy cauldron and said, "It is the alchemy cauldron of a cultivator from the Yelang Dynasty more than two thousand years ago. I am fortunate to inherit it. It is very spiritual and can improve the quality of the elixir. , I wonder what kind of cauldron Brother Ning uses to make elixirs?"
Ning Tao said: "Meixiang Ding is a small tripod. If Brother Jiang wants to see it, I can take you to see it now. I have a convenient door. You can go there just by opening the door."
Jiang Xiaodong's eyes were full of surprise and curiosity. He seemed to want to take a look, but he was a little hesitant.
Ning Tao did not dissuade him, and his eyes suddenly fell on the main wall of the alchemy room.
There is also a shrine under that wall, with a portrait enshrined on it. The portrait depicts an ancient man with a protruding forehead. At first glance, one might think that it is a portrait of a longevity urn, but upon closer inspection, one discovers that there are four bumps on the exaggeratedly protruding forehead.
In the past few thousand years, only one person has had such a forehead, and that was Gui Guzi!
Ning Tao couldn't help but walk towards the portrait.
"Brother Ning?" Jiang Xiaodong was curious and followed him, "What are you looking at?"
Ning Tao stopped in front of Guiguzi's portrait and said tentatively: "Brother Jiang, why do you have Guiguzi's portrait hanging here?"
Jiang Xiaodong bowed deeply to Guiguzi's portrait, and then said: "To be honest, brother Ning, I am the descendant of Guigumen."
When Ning Tao heard this, he turned to look at Jiang Xiaodong, his eyes seemed to be shining.
He met Xiang Sang, a disciple of Gui Guzi in the past time and space, and then followed Xiang Sang's instructions to find Xiang Sang's secret treasure in the mountains on the eastern outskirts of Ye City in the state of Wei, and obtained the Demon Mirror and the "Gui Gu Zhen Jing". Xiang Sang left a last word that he must give the things he left to the descendants of Guigu Sect when he met them in the future.
Although Xiang Sang's last words did not specify what he wanted to give to the successors of Guigu Sect, there is no need to guess that it was also the large pile of bamboo slips, which is the "Guigu Zhenjing". As for the demon mirror, that's his courier fee.
Jiang Xiaodong didn't know what Ning Tao was thinking, and Ning Tao looked at him a little unnaturally: "Brother Ning, why are you looking at me like this?"
Ning Tao smiled: "Brother Jiang, are you really the descendant of Guigu Sect?"
Jiang Xiaodong was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Brother Ning, I am definitely a descendant of the Guigu Sect. How could I lie to you about such a thing? Why do you ask like this?"
Ning Tao smiled and said nothing.
Jiang Xiaodong continued: "My mentor Wang Qingyang, whose Taoist name is Sanshengzi. Five hundred years ago, not long after I was born, he wandered here and saw that I had strange bones and spiritual roots, so he discussed with my parents to accept me as his disciple. My parents agreed, and he stayed here to teach me how to cultivate. He stayed here for a hundred years. My parents passed away, and I lived with my mentor. Later, he accepted a female disciple. That is my junior sister, her name is You Xiangjiu, her Taoist name is Jin Guzi, and she is a retreating disciple of my mentor. One hundred years after his mentor accepted her, he failed to escape the tribulation and died. There are only two descendants left, me and my junior sister, but she likes to tinker with weird things, so we haven’t contacted each other for almost a hundred years.”
It is true that every cultivator is a thick history book. One hundred years is like ten years for ordinary people. Children of ordinary families go from elementary school to junior high school, but to them it is the beginning of a dynasty. The vicissitudes of life they have experienced, things have changed and people have changed. How can it be experienced by ordinary people
There are currently two descendants of Guigumen, and there is also a young insect that has passed away for a long time. But even Jiang Xiaodong hadn't seen her for a hundred years, so Ning Tao didn't bother to think about it. Anyway, handing it over to Jiang Xiaodong can be regarded as fulfilling the promise to Xiang Sang.
"Brother Jiang, do you know Xiang Sang?" Ning Tao asked.
"Xiang Sang?" Jiang Xiaodong's eyes flashed with confusion. After a few seconds, he seemed to suddenly remember something: "I remembered, he is my mentor's master, that is, my master, how do you know of?"
Ning Tao smiled: "This is a long story. I will tell you in detail in the future. I will briefly talk about it tonight. I was fortunate enough to meet my respected master. He told me that he hid something and He told me the location, and I went to find the things he left behind. He asked me to hand over those things to the descendants of Gai Guigumen. I didn't want me to meet you, Brother Jiang, here. I am an impatient person. It’s better to catch up with the sun, let’s do it tonight, I will hand over to you the things left by Senior Xiang Sang.”
Jiang Xiaodong was a little confused: "What... is this?"
Ning Tao said: "I'll keep it a secret for now, and you'll know later when you take a look."
Without explaining, he took out a prescription with a blood lock on it from the small medicine box, opened the convenience door in front of Jiang Xiaodong, and walked in.
Jiang Xiaodong watched Ning Tao enter and disappear. He wanted to follow him in, but he was a little worried and did not go in in the end.
It was normal for him to have such a reaction. After all, although he and Ning Tao had a lively chat, it was the first time they met, and they were not familiar with each other and had no friendship. How could he easily believe these ridiculous and weird things Ning Tao said
But just when he was hesitating and guessing in his mind, Ning Tao walked over with a lot of bamboo slips in his arms and placed them in front of him.
Ning Tao said nothing, turned around and walked into the convenience door again.
There was a huge pile of "Guigu Zhenjing", and he had to go back and forth many times to pick it all out.
Jiang Xiaodong casually picked up a bamboo slip, opened it, and was shocked...
