Chapter 902 The Difference Between the Old and the New, the Secret Medicine Sequence
A path twists and turns in the remote barren mountains and ridges, and finally extends along the roughly polished stone steps to the entrance of the dilapidated Taoist temple on the top of the mountain.
Above the old dilapidated wooden door, there is a plaque with mottled and peeling paint leather: Qingyang Temple. This is the lair of the 'Water Pot Sheep', the dojo for practicing.
Now, Lang, a bully from the world, takes his daughter to occupy the mountain as king and become the new owner of this place. Not only occupied the best room, but also sharpened the knife, butchered a "alchemy boy (sheep demon)" who didn't have long eyes, made it into cumin skewers, and ate most of it.
In addition to the main viewer of the Taoist temple, 'Water Pot Sheep', there are six disciples who have been passed down to refine Qi, and several Daoist servants. In addition, in the firewood room and the burrow in the backyard, there are more than ten "stainless bodies" and a large number of little demons, all of which are used for refining medicine on weekdays.
20 years ago, the 'Green Goat Temple' was still a Taoist temple in the human camp, and it was somewhat famous. Not only do people often go up the mountain to pray for blessings, and the incense is strong; they often accept commissions and go down the mountain to kill demons.
Until the master of the temple, "Mr. Qingyang", was stuck in the foundation building period and was unable to break through, and finally used evil methods to enter Taoism and transform demons. This Taoist temple belonging to the human race changed its camp overnight and became a famous demon stronghold with a radius of hundreds of miles. It is also the sacred place of practice in the hearts of countless little demons, and it controls several villages at the same time.
There are also Zhengdao who came to encircle and suppress, but the "Qingyang Lord" was a human being, and his wisdom was different from ordinary monsters. He actively visited and connected local monsters and ghosts, exchanged ideas and shared recipes, and eventually formed an alliance with each other.
Not only did he block the right way to suppress, but he also made a name for himself. He stood out and worshiped the great demon "Blood Daluo" as his backer; The "Obaon Festival" organized by the company has become an industry.
It can be described as a talent among demons, a top reserve member of the 'Fu Gui Pill'. It's a pity that unlocking [Must Die] requires 1000 delicious points, so Bailang can only give up with regret.
...
In the main hall of the Taoist temple, Bailang sat cross-legged on the futon, browsing and reading a few "New Method Formulas" written in traditional Chinese characters. In each exercise book, there was a [Secret Medicine Prescription], in addition to the "Water Formula" Basins' practice experience and medicine refining experience annotated in small print.
Fu Fu beside her was not idle either, holding thick volumes of "Medical Classics", "Medicine Classics", and "Examination of Foreign Objects", reading them with relish.
Outside the main hall, a group of little Taoist boys with the body of a sheep's head, human head and horns, or human beings, coweringly hid in a corner, secretly observing Bailang's father and daughter. They include both demons and humans who are being demonized, and they are all disciples in Taoist temples.
The dynasties, history, and timeline of this world are completely different from those of the Celestial Dynasty. Over the past two hundred years, the folks have re-compiled the new "Medical Classics" and "Medicine Classics", which contain a large number of "commonly polluted medicinal materials" (drugs that can be obtained and used by humanoids) that only belong to this world and that Self has never heard of.
In addition, the last "Examination of Foreign Objects" is a book in the practice world, and Shuipen Yang was a personal book, which records the causes, properties and uses of a large number of highly polluted medicinal materials.
Most of them are 'little monsters' that are not monsters, but are active and can run around. For example, eyeballs with legs, carnivorous herbs that take human form... and so on.
Most of them are 'heterogeneous' who are polluted by the radiation aura of 'evil' and then activated. After some culprits die, their organs and flowing blood will not be resurrected from the dead, but they can contaminate and transform living and dead things, giving them vitality. Let the stones open their eyes, the benches run around, and the planing wild dogs grow human mouths to imitate speech.
There are also some born naturally. For example, the 'dentures' worn by the elderly all the year round suddenly 'come alive' at night because they chewed contaminated herbs. One opened and one closed, bounced and fled to the next door, bit off the old Wang's lifeblood, and was beaten to death by the bloody old Wang. Soon, the lifeblood also came to life, squirming and running away while taking advantage of the chaos.
Bailang took Fufu all the way, and saw strange 'foreign objects' in the deep mountains and old forests. From the surprise and curiosity at the beginning, to the surprise at the end.
These 'foreign bodies' are not necessarily as interesting and beautiful as the 'flower fairies' in fairy tales. On the contrary, there are often living 'intestines' burrowing in the soil, which is very unappetizing and loses three points.
This kind of "foreign body phenomenon" is very similar to the wizard novels I saw in my previous life. The essence is the activation of the highly enriched "pollution characteristics"; or the long-term pollution and transformation of the "biological radiation field" of monsters and evils, and come back to life.
In essence, these foreign bodies are a combination of incomplete and unintelligent 'carriers' and 'pollution characteristics'. Therefore, it is impossible to cultivate like demons and ghosts; it is also not as high-risk as 'sin', and there is no possibility of continuing radiation pollution to 'lower ranks'.
But most of them are brutal and bloodthirsty, they like to attack and bite, they are dangerous, and they can grow. Occasionally, natural disasters and man-made disasters will appear on a large scale, causing crises. Mortals suffer from it, but it cannot be eradicated, and it is also the most commonly used 'secret medicine'.
When refining the secret medicine, one or two flavors of this 'foreign substance' must be selected to endow the secret medicine with 'activity and spirituality' and inject soul into it. In addition, excellent and rare 'exotic objects' are also an important part of refining 'magic weapons'.
In short, after reading "Examination of Alien Objects", Bailang no longer has any good expectations for this world. He can be sure that this is not a 'gram-type' world, but it is worth three points less than the gram-type world.
Fortunately, even if the San value is lost, as long as the 'pollution degree' does not exceed the standard, it will never go crazy.
But living in this world that is polluted and distorted all the time, and 'foreign objects' may appear everywhere, normal people have actually gone 'crazy' long ago. It's just that I don't notice it, I'm used to it.
Thinking of this, Bailang felt inexplicably terrified.
…
Just as he was thinking about the "Blood Intestine Sword Classic" in his hand, Shuipen Yang waved away the boys waiting outside after he went out, hurried into the main hall, and said, "Master, I found four caves in total."
Bailang put down the evil sword scripture, looked at the other party, and asked displeasedly: "Why so little?"
The old sheep showed helplessness, and explained: "Among the guests I entertained that night, four of them were ghosts and did not live in the yang world. Only the green-faced ghost killed the city god of a nearby town and took possession of it. Town God's Temple. The rest of the ghosts, I don't even know their locations or tombs."
Lang: "That's not enough to find four places. The monsters you invited that night were dead and crazy. After removing the ghosts and infernal things, there are at least seven places where you can search the house. Including the Town God's Temple, eight places!"
"Hey, my master doesn't know. Most of these demons just met me once. Most of them were introduced by my friends. Although they often travel together and drink and refine medicine, they all come to me. 'Green Sheep View'. I don't know where their caves are."
"What a waste. What did you find?" Bailang changed the subject and got to the point.
"This..." The sheep demon was a little embarrassed, "The harvest is actually not big, mostly refining tools and medicine refining materials. There are also some living mortals, and blood-eating little demons who used them to kill. The former was released by me. , the latter are harvested directly and stored in the universe bag."
As he said that, the old sheep took out an obviously 'meat sac/stomach pouch? ’ Cosmos bag.
At the top opening, there are two rows of sharp teeth that bite tightly. In addition, a flower is embroidered in the center of the Qiankun meat bag, and there is a squinted eye on the bud.
At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Bailang nervously, as if he was afraid that he would take away the treasure in his belly.
"What the hell is the Kun bag?! What did the Qian Kun bag do wrong? Stop messing with words, okay?"
The Water Pot Sheep is obedient, dares to be angry but dares not speak out: Damn it, the sacrificial spell of this Qiankun bag has been spread all over Kyushu for a long time! You can seal my mouth, but can you block the mouths of everyone in the world?
"It's useless to talk less, what about the new law I want?"
Bailang stared at that eye unhappily, but did not reach out to pick up the sensual 'Qian Kun Bag'. Instead, he continued to ask for questions and asked the water basin sheep to take it out on his own initiative.
"Uh... only a few new methods have been found, and they are all inferior products for leading little demons and ghosts to cultivate qi, or small methods in the qi refining period. There are no follow-up new methods, and they are all small techniques."
"There are no new methods of 'refining Qi and transforming gods' in the four caves?!"
Water basin quickly explained: "My lord, how can such an important new method be placed in the cave? Naturally, it is hidden in a secret place that only I know, even I did the same. I use the 'Dharma Eye' to take a closer look. I went all over the cave, but I couldn't find any clues."
Bailang's eyes became dangerous: "That is to say, you have gained nothing?"
"No, no, it actually allowed me to find a lot of remnants of old laws. This is an important resource for them to broaden their horizons, increase their knowledge, deduce new methods, and comprehend the Dao. Sixty percent of the content is something I have never seen before. It will be of great benefit to you, sir."
"Old law?"
Bailang was stunned for a moment, and looked at the few new books in his hand, as well as the complete book that Fufu had read. So far, he hasn't looked at the "crippled old law" that has been eliminated by the times. It's very simple, that thing can't be used at all, let alone practice.
Using the movie downloaded by Xunlei as a comparison, the download failed, the file was damaged, and it did not support playback at all. It was a junk file that could not even be viewed from the bottom, and it was even compressed.
"Is the old law important?"
Water basin: "It's important, and it's not important. It's important, because all the 'new methods' today are born out of the 'old methods'. Practitioners like me, after 'refining Qi and transforming gods', the road ahead is bleak, and the follow-up progress is cut off." Advanced techniques. In order to seek a breakthrough, we can only comprehend the 'old method', and try to find the follow-up 'new method' from it, and find the way to advance."
"It's not important. For most monsters and humans who have stepped into practice, comprehending the old law is meaningless, and it will even mislead themselves, causing cognitive confusion, damaging the spirit, causing inner demons, and it is easier to pollute and distort the soul. And those who have the complete new law , Follow-up advancement of the famous decent school, just follow the steps, there is no need to waste energy on the 'old method' and delay the practice."
Bai Lang became interested and asked, "How did this 'new law' come to be learned from the 'old law'?"
Water Basin: "We all have to start with [Secret Medicine]..."
In the introduction of this goat demon, Bailang quickly learned the difference and relationship between the 'new and old methods'.
After the "Heavenly Change Rebellion" 200 years ago, the way of heaven was tampered with by the contractor, and the foundation of the practice system was shaken. All the practice methods in the world, regardless of the gods, Buddhas, demons and demons, all self-destructed, with a large number of defects and disorder .
Not only that, the surviving practitioners also lost the memory of the 'gongfa' in their brains. At the same time, Fang Tiandao is no longer compatible with the 'old mana'.
Practitioners cannot continue to breathe and transport mana, and the existing 'mana, immortal essence' is passing away little by little, gradually becoming unacceptable. In the end, those low-level immortals, Buddhas, and demons who were not abducted by the "contractor" also declined and died one after another.
The old method was completely eliminated by the Dao of Heaven.
Even so, this is a world based on 'comprehension civilization' after all. The old law is just damaged and cannot be practiced. But in the Dao of Heaven, it still occupies nearly 80% of the position and cannot be shaken.
In the next 200 years, the surviving practitioners re-adapted to the new environment by relying on the knowledge in their brains and their understanding of the practice system, attempting to continue the "practice system" and create the glory of the old era.
As a result, some people continue to regard the "old law" as a gap-filling problem, filling it with contaminated and distorted practice materials, following the practice principles of the "old law system", completing it, and practicing forcibly.
After repeated failures and unexpected successes, the [Secret Prescription] was finally summed up. Taking this special 'secret medicine' is like a key to open the locked and discarded 'old law document', successfully read the content, and complete a 'new law' that can be practiced.
Now, a [secret prescription] matches a [new method].
Successors can enjoy the convenience of their predecessors without comprehending the 'old law'. Take a 'secret medicine', practice the corresponding 'new method', get used to and suppress the 'pollution and distortion', adapt to the new way of heaven, cultivate 'mana', and master more 'spells'.
"Because different practitioners have different understandings of the 'old law', and the types of medicinal materials that are incorporated into the 'old law' are different, and the 'new methods and secret medicines' that are finally completed are also different. Therefore, the same 'old law' can evolve There are many different 'new methods' and 'secret medicines'."
Bailang nodded: "I understand that."
In Lang's view, the "old method" is not a simple fill-in-the-blank question, but more like a "big chemistry question" in the final exam.
The incomplete "old law" is like a question stem, which contains a lot of information. The thinking of exercises is like the thinking of solving problems. And the remaining out-of-order fragments are like incoherent known conditions one after another.
This plausible "big question of the old law" covers a lot of content and is also full of blanks. Different people have different knowledge reserves and see different solutions from different angles.
There is no standard answer to this question, but a certain organic structure is given, allowing you to simultaneously find the substances involved in the reaction, the reaction process, and the final product.
The raw materials needed for the [Secret Medicine] are the raw materials that participate in the chemical reaction; the refining process of the secret medicine is the process of the chemical reaction; the final 'secret medicine' is the 'compound' that meets the requirements of the big question.
Conversely, taking this 'secret medicine' is the correct 'key' to open the damaged documents of the old law. Start the old method smoothly, complete a new method, start to practice, gather 'magic power', and plan to succeed!
Because there can be many 'solutions and answers' that meet this big question, and there are also many 'new methods and secret medicines' derived from it. Different 'secret medicines and new methods' have evolved into new genres, and then continue to develop and optimize.
The old "old law" was eliminated, and the mature "new law" was sought after, became the mainstream, and was widely promoted.
But new problems follow. One 'old law' can lead to different 'new laws'. And the "old method" was originally a coherent series from low to high, from refining qi to refining gods to refining emptiness...
However, because the creators of the 'new law' have different levels and different concepts, the grade and gold content vary from weak to strong. In the end, there are a lot of low-level (low-sequence) new methods and secret medicines, and then 80% of them are dead ends, incompatible with subsequent content, or even non-existent.
A truly famous and upright sect with a solid background holds a large number of 'old methods', inherits the old cultivation civilization, systematically researches and develops 'new methods and secret medicines', and constructs a series of complete promotion channels, which is the prototype of the 'sequence secret medicine'.
And Water Pot Sheep's practice is half stuck, and they can't even get a complete set of 'old methods', let alone wild practitioners of 'new methods'. He had to rely on falling into the way of demons to complete the breakthrough and enter the 'refinement of Qi and transformation of God'.
Now that he has become a practitioner of the 'God Refining Realm', he has cut off the follow-up methods and has to collect more 'old methods' in an attempt to find a 'new way', which is extremely difficult.
Because every time you take a 'secret medicine', no matter how good the 'new method' is, it will inevitably accumulate a 'pollution'. I took too much medicine, they didn't match each other, and there were no follow-up exercises. Its own "pollution" continues to strengthen, and sooner or later it hits the street.
There are only 'secret medicines + new methods' of the same sequence, which are interlocking, echoing each other, and advancing layer by layer. The more you practice, the slower the superposition of pollution, and the continuous expansion of your own capacity, without the risk of degeneration and evil, it is really a decent demeanor of a famous family!
