Chapter 767: It Is Not a Trivial Matter to Invite Gods
That night, the whole capital seemed to be calm, but many people also understood that there were undercurrents.
Of course, for most ordinary people in the capital, there were many things worth talking about tonight. The law-appraising conference was very exciting in the eyes of ordinary people.
Even if a monster appeared in the middle and scared many people, it was also exciting, not to mention the beauty of the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, and even watching the beheading was included in it.
The movement in the emperor's bedroom was so loud that the old eunuch Zhao Chaolin who was guarding outside couldn't help but smile. His Majesty was really full of energy tonight. It seemed that Master Jinlan would soon become Empress Jinlan.
Xiao Yuzhi also patrolled the city that night. Those evildoers were just well hidden, but their nature was still there. Sooner or later, they would be unable to help themselves. Before getting rid of them, Xiao Yuzhi didn't want anything to happen in the capital. At this time, he didn't know that the emperor was so impatient to let Master Jinlan sleep with him.
In Qingling Villa, Gao Hongqing was somewhat impatient tonight. He did not sleep, but gathered around the furnace with several disciples.
The fire in the furnace was burning, illuminating Gao Hongqing and the disciples around him.
A faint smoke rose from the furnace and extended to the sky, forming part of the night clouds.
Then a faint fragrance gradually became stronger.
"Master, the incense is on!"
A disciple shouted excitedly, and Gao Hongqing was also refreshed, but immediately restrained himself.
"Don't be arrogant, don't be impatient, concentrate, and put in the last medicinal material!"
"Yes, Master!"
The eldest disciple went directly to the shelf on the side, used a wooden pestle to push the lid of the furnace open a little, and then poured the ground medicinal powder into the furnace.
"Close the furnace quickly!"
"Yes, Master!"
The furnace lid was closed with a bang, and the disciples gathered outside again, while Gao Hongqing stepped on the Gang step around the furnace, chanting constantly.
The firepower of the entire furnace seemed to be getting stronger and stronger under Gao Hongqing's actions. The entire courtyard began to heat up noticeably. Even the guards on the outer sentry couldn't help but look towards the courtyard.
"Woohoo. Woohoo"
A hot wind swirled around the furnace, blowing Gao Hongqing and several disciples' clothes.
Gao Hongqing was muttering something in his mouth, reciting the Dingdan Mantra passed down by his master, but his heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
You must keep it steady, you must keep it steady, keep it steady.
Gao Hongqing could feel that the various materials inside the furnace were in a fierce and chaotic state, but he didn't feel it so clearly.
The tense atmosphere lasted for most of the night.
"Woohoo."
The hot wind finally stopped, and the faces of several disciples who had been nervous for most of the night showed joy, and Gao Hongqing also smiled.
But the next moment, Gao Hongqing's face suddenly changed.
"Get down quickly--"
Almost as soon as Gao Hongqing finished speaking, the fire in the furnace rose with a loud noise.
"Boom--"
On a clear, cloudless night, this sound was louder than thunder, awakening the people in the surrounding area.
"Get out of the way--"
Gao Hongqing roared again, followed by a "bang~" sound, and the top cover of the furnace fell from the sky, hitting the side of the furnace heavily, breaking a piece of bluestone in the courtyard.
The eldest disciple, who was only a few steps away from the furnace cover, was sweating all over, and almost died.
A burst of footsteps came hurriedly, and more than a dozen imperial guards rushed into the courtyard.
"Master?" "Master, what happened, are you all right?"
The imperial guards came in and looked at the scene with shock. The furnace was still emitting a burning breath, and there was a pleasant smell of medicine around.
Gao Hongqing's face was slightly pale, and a feeling of depression lingered in his chest. He suppressed the urge to vomit and turned to look at the captain of the imperial guards.
"No, it's okay, just a small accident when trying to mix the elixir, it's not a problem."
The captain of the imperial guards nodded.
"Then, Taoist priest, please pay attention to safety. If there is any problem, call us. We will retreat first!"
"Got it"
The imperial guards retreated one after another. Gao Hongqing couldn't hold on any longer. He swayed slightly and fell down. Two of the frightened disciples rushed over and supported Gao Hongqing who was about to fall.
"Master? What's wrong with you?" "Master!"
"Hush"
Gao Hongqing was about to faint. He was awakened by the disciples' exclamation and quickly signaled them to be quiet.
"Master."
"Don't make a noise. It's just a small matter for me. It's nothing serious. Don't alarm the imperial guards. Help me go in to rest and clean up the furnace."
"Yes, Master!"
Gao Hongqing nodded and let the disciples help him leave. However, his body was shaking a little, which made the disciples a little worried. When he got to the room, Gao Hongqing fell asleep in a daze.
Gao Hongqing was full of confidence at the beginning, but now he has become nervous and uneasy, because he has not refined any satisfactory pills for so long.
Gao Hongqing was already filled with fear when he saw the emperor ordering the beheading of several mages without hesitation.
Some of the beheaded mages were not really incompetent, but they just couldn't satisfy the emperor.
As Gao Hongqing, who was highly expected by the emperor, he knew that if he really couldn't satisfy the emperor, he would die miserably. There was only one pill left by his master.
When the explosion-like sound of the elixir furnace reached somewhere outside the capital, Yan Shouyun opened his eyes in a relatively small space.
This is the cabin of a small boat. At this moment, Yan Shouyun couldn't help but look at the sky outside the cabin.
"What is this sound? Thunder?"
The sky is clear tonight, how can there be thunder?
"It's not thunder, it's someone who failed to make an elixir."
Qi Zhongbin's voice came from the side. Yan Shouyun was slightly startled, and he probably understood who he was talking about.
But then, Yan Shouyun thought of what he had just accomplished, and his face immediately showed excitement.
"I just felt it. I really felt it. I can really feel some kind of response from the gods. It's very distant, but very real!"
"Well, good job!"
Qi Zhongbin walked out of the cabin step by step with his hands behind his back. The hull of the boat shook slightly, and Yan Shouyun behind him quickly got up and followed.
Under the starlight, the river surface was rippling with microwaves. In fact, they shouldn't be able to hear the roar of the alchemy furnace here.
"It is inevitable that warlocks sometimes have lofty goals in their practice, but the so-called techniques and methods are a means of exorcising evil spirits and binding evil spirits. The most reliable support for warlocks is always the righteous god."
Yan Shouyun took a few steps closer.
"Master Qi, Heavenly Master, I have understood the method you taught me tonight, but I don't know about it."
Yan Shouyun wanted to call out the word "Master", but he felt that he was not qualified yet. Tonight, he understood a spell taught by the old heavenly master. It should not be too embarrassing, and he naturally had the desire to become a master.
Qi Zhongbin looked at Yan Shouyun who was hesitant to speak, and knew what he was thinking.
After all, Yan Shouyun still didn't dare to ask directly. He was afraid that if he asked, he would never get another chance. He had to try to behave better and not be irritable!
"Master Tian, what should I learn next?"
Qi Zhongbin smiled.
"With this method, supplemented by your own skills, the capital is enough to be destroyed. As for the next step, wait until you fully understand this method."
Completely understood?
"But Xiaodao has already understood the secret of inviting gods!"
Qi Zhongbin's smile faded and he looked at Yan Shouyun.
"Oh? Really?"
After saying this, Qi Zhongbin turned around and looked at the river, then looked up at the sky, as if looking into infinity.
"Whatever your mind thinks, your horizons are limited. No wonder you are complacent with just a little gain."
Yan Shouyun trembled slightly, feeling uneasy in his heart, but Qi Zhongbin was not dissatisfied at all and just smiled again.
"The method of inviting gods is by no means a trivial method. What's the use of just asking for the incarnation of gods? If you want to invite, you must naturally invite the true god to the lower realm!"
"ah?"
Yan Shouyun couldn't help but exclaimed, "Please ask the true god to come down to the next world?"
Although warlocks, Taoists and other mages often cast spells and ask for the help of certain gods and Buddhas, they probably know in their hearts that they are asking the gods to pay attention or to invite some of their abilities. No one would really naively think that they are really asking the gods to help. Buddha has come.
Otherwise, sometimes casting spells to fight evil spirits wouldn't be so dangerous.
"Xiao Dao, the magic power of Xiaodao is weak. How can we possibly invite the true god?"
Yan Shouyun himself felt a little ridiculous. This was not a matter of lack of self-confidence, but of overestimating one's capabilities.
"Hahahahahaha."
Qi Zhongbin stroked his beard and laughed.
"Indeed, with your current behavior, it is impossible to invite the true god, but this is also your opportunity, and there are ways to take advantage of it! Come over here."
Yan Shouyun hurried over and only heard Qi Zhongbin whispering some non-essential tips in his ear, with descriptions and names.
Yan Shouyun frowned, but he didn't dare to slack off at all. Even if there was something he didn't understand, he quickly wrote it down with his good memory.
After Qi Zhongbin finished speaking, he looked at Yan Shouyun.
"Remember everything?"
"take note of it!"
Yan Shouyun responded, but still frowned. Qi Zhongbin looked at him and asked.
"Any doubts?"
Yan Shouyun looked up at Qi Zhongbin, thought for a moment and asked.
"Why is there another person among them? Although it is indeed amazing that he is still alive, but after all, he..."
"He's just an old mortal after all?"
Qi Zhongbin looked at Yan Shouyun, shook his head and sighed.
"No matter how mysterious the techniques and methods are, they are just means. No matter how tall the immortals and gods are, they are just the first to realize and achieve. Compared with the gods who are not in the world, he is still in the world, but to a certain extent, you have already seen him. It can’t be looked down upon by mortals.”
Yan Shouyun had no further objections.
"Yes, Xiaodao noted it down!"
"Okay, here is this thing for you. Use it when you want to use it. If you don't want to use it, don't give it back to me. Return it to where it came from!"
Qi Zhongbin took out something from his sleeve, which still had a touch of shining gold under the starlight.
Yan Shouyun's heart was beating wildly, and he subconsciously reached out to take it. The heavy weight and the gold inscriptions on it all showed that this thing was extraordinary.
This is the gold medal bestowed by Heavenly Master Dayong, also known as the Order of Heavenly Master Dayong!
