Chapter 156 Still found nothing.
After Shanzheng Zhenren and Shi Zelan went out, they both decided to stay at home and practice.
Master Decheng went to the Taoist temple and naturally received a satisfactory answer.
Shi Xiaoliu practiced the water method to concoct elixirs. After failing again and again, he asked Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, why can others successfully concoct elixirs with water methods, and why can't I?"
"Xiao Liu, have you ever seen the elixir prepared by water method?"
Shi Xiaoliu shook his head: "No, Master has seen it once a long time ago, and he only saw it."
"Xiao Liu, is it possible that the way the elixir is formed using the water method is different from the way the elixir is refining using the fire method? Not quite the same?"
After listening to Shi Zelan's words, Shi Xiaoliu thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, the shape will definitely not be exactly the same. I will try it a few more times."
Shi Xiaoliu turned to try the water method to prepare the elixir, while Shi Zelan sat under the eaves and drew talismans.
At Shenshi, Master Decheng came back from outside and saw Shi Zelan drawing talismans under the eaves, and asked: "Where are your master and Xiaoliu?"
Shi Zetou smiled when he saw Master Decheng: "Master, you are back. Master and Xiaoliu are both in the room."
Shi Zelan went into the kitchen to boil water and soaked it for Master Decheng A pot of tea was brought out.
"Uncle, drink tea."
Master Decheng picked up the tea cup and drank tea, and said to Shi Zelan: "Next spring, Sister Lan, please join us for free clinic."
“Okay, I know a lot of herbs.”
There is something to do, so the four of them living here will not be too conspicuous.
"Sister Lan, do you think Xiao Liu will be successful in concocting the elixir with water?"
"Uncle, I think so."
"Are you right? Xiaoliu is very confident, Sister Lan?”
“Uncle, Xiaoliu is very confident in himself, I believe in Xiaoliu”
Master Decheng listened to her words, nodded and said: "He also has great confidence in you, thinking that you will definitely break the curse. What do you think?"
"Since ancient times, evil has never prevailed over good. We cast There has never been a very evil person in our ancestors.
That person did not dare to fight against my ancestor and my father, but his character was twisted when he attacked a baby. < br>
I am now able to practice, practice swordsmanship, and draw talismans. His curse can no longer block my path to practice."
Shi Zelan told Master Decheng quite proudly that she believed it. She will be able to break the curse one day.
Master Decheng looked at Shi Zelan and smiled: "Sister Lan will definitely build the foundation smoothly."
Master Shanzheng came out of the room and saw Master Decheng and Shi Zelan talking, he smiled and said: " Senior brother, you are back.”
“You are back and have arranged things for spring.”
Shi Zelan took two steps back and poured a cup of tea directly for Master Shanzheng.
Master Shanzheng took the tea and said to Shi Zelan: "Did you go smoothly in drawing the talisman this afternoon?"
"Master, for a short while, the painting was not smooth."
Shi Zelan looked at Master Shan Zheng curiously: "Master, it became very smooth after that."
Master Shan Zheng looked at He glanced at Master Decheng and said to Shi Zelan: "Nothing, but your uncle must have mentioned you and me outside in the afternoon."
Master Decheng was surprised: "I also mentioned Xiaoliu , I will ask about Xiaoliu’s situation after he comes out.” Master Shanzheng looked at Master Decheng and said, “What you are going to do will definitely interfere with the order of life in the mortal world.”
After listening to Master Shanzheng's words, Master Decheng said to Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, after the snow stops, you and Xiaoliu go to the mountain."
Shi Zelan turned to look at Master Shanzheng and nodded when he saw him Later, he asked Master Decheng in confusion: "There is a lot of snow on the mountain. Should we go to the mountain to dig herb roots?"
Master Decheng looked thoughtful, so Shi Zelan stopped asking further. They went anyway. On the mountain, you naturally know what you are going to face.
The sky is dark, and the moon hangs high in the sky, making the winter night particularly cold.
Shi Xiaoliu opened the door with a face full of joy. He first saw Shi Zelan sitting in the yard: "Sister Lan, let me show you the elixir concocted by my water method."
< br>
Shi Zelan reached out to take the elixir and felt something vaguely moving in the black elixir. She looked at Shi Xiaoliu: "Xiao Liu, you are really capable. Isn't the effect of this elixir very good?"< br>
Shi Xiaoliu sighed: "The effect is good, but it cannot be preserved for a long time."
Shi Zelan looked at the disappointed look on his face and said to him: "Ask the teacher Uncle, maybe the uncle has a good way to do this."
Shi Xiaoliu went to see Master Decheng with the elixir in hand. After seeing it, he said to Shi Xiaoliu: "You understand now, why water. Will the method of processing be lost in the end?”
“Master, is there really no other way to preserve the effect of the medicine for a long time?”
"Only when water flows can it have vitality. When water stops flowing, it will easily decay."
"Master, I understand, and I will never do useless work again."
" It’s not that you have done nothing in vain. Write down your experience and I will send it back to the Medicine Pavilion to keep it and pass it on to people who are destined to know it in the future.”
Shi Xiaoliu’s face turned slightly red: “Master, I’m here again. If you’re not a foundation-building monk, I’d better not use it.”
“It’s necessary. The things you read in the Medicine Pavilion are also the experiences of previous generations.”
Shi Xiaoliu went back to his room and carefully recorded the process of preparing the elixir using the water method, and handed it directly into the hands of Master Decheng.
Afterwards, he quietly said to Shi Zelan: "Many years from now, if any disciples of the Medicine Pavilion are interested in water processing, they will definitely be able to find my experience records."
Shi Zelan looked at it with admiration. He said to him: "When the snow stops, Master said we are going to the mountain. Do you know what we are going to do?"
Shi Xiaoliu shook his head: "Master hasn't told me about going up the mountain yet. "
A few days later, the snow finally stopped. Master Decheng said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "Tomorrow, you go to the east mountain. As for what you can find, it's up to you. An opportunity for two people.”
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were very surprised to see him. Was there no purpose in being so casual?
"No matter if you find anything or not, you must come back down the mountain, you know?"
"Yes." Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan agreed.
It was still dark on the second day, and Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were already lined up in the crowd leaving the city, waiting for the city gate to be opened to leave the city.
The city gate opened. After the two of them left the city gate, when there was no one on the road, they walked quickly towards the east mountain.
They went up the mountain, and when they encountered a fork in the road, they looked at each other and took the middle path up the mountain.
Before noon, they were already standing on the mountainside. Shi Zelan looked at Shi Xiaoliu: "Xiaoliu, did you feel anything?"
Shi Xiaoliu shook his head. Said to Shi Zelan: "There will be no one on the mountain now. Let's go to the top of the mountain quickly."
"Okay."
Both of them felt that maybe they could see something on the top of the mountain. , but when they reached the top of the mountain, they still found nothing.
