Land god

After the old Taoist left, the two monsters were very grateful to Du Qian and expressed their willingness to be his demon servants in the future. They were also frightened by the old Taoist. Find a generous and benevolent strong man to be your backer.

Du Qian didn't want to take in the two little demons at first, but when Liu Lao saw his refusal expression, he immediately gritted his teeth and took out a square wooden box from his bosom. As soon as the wooden box was opened, there was a scent of fresh fragrance. After coming out, Du Qian was immediately refreshed after smelling it, feeling that the fatigue caused by collecting the real fire of the extreme earth just now had been eliminated.

"This is... a thousand-day flower?" Du Qian took a look at the wooden box, and there was a light green flower shaped like a snow lotus inside, but it happened to be a kind of spiritual flower he had seen in the elixir. After that, it can be in full bloom for three years, so it is called a thousand-day flower, and the fragrance of the flower can warm and nourish the soul, which is especially precious to the spirit body Yinshen.

The little demon offered such a good thing, Du Qian couldn't refuse any more, he thought for a while, and then said: "Forget it, I'll set up the talisman array here and set up the inscription, so I don't have to worry about someone snatching it up. The two can stay here to guard the valley, practice with peace of mind, as long as they don't cause harm, they can get my protection."

The two little demons happily agreed. Du Qian's arrangement was the most suitable for them. They could not only get the protection of the backer, but also practice freely without worrying about losing their freedom. The gratitude to Du Qian was more real in their hearts at the moment a bit.

Afterwards, Du Qian took out dozens of Explosive Flame Talismans that he refined on a daily basis, arranged a small fire cloud formation around the valley, and erected a stone tablet at the entrance of the valley, using his divine power to engrave the four characters "Hot Spring Valley".

The fire cloud formation composed of dozens of Explosive Flame Talismans is not very powerful, it can only block some low-handed players, and is vulnerable to real masters, but this is exactly the effect Du Qian wants.

After all, this place is just a small fire vein, which is of no use to a higher-strength cultivator. If he guards against it, it will look suspicious.

The Fire Cloud Formation is only to defend against the weak-name practitioners like the skinny middle-aged Taoist priest, but the master will naturally know his identity after seeing the stele left by him with divine power, and will not offend anyone for a small hot spring. gods.

The reason why Du Qian was able to retreat from the old way in a few words was largely due to his status. The relationship between gods and cultivation is a bit complicated. Many powerful gods were enshrined by cultivation in order to obtain protection and guidance, while the weak Maoshen Xiaoshen may be controlled by Taoist priests who are good at exorcising ghosts with talisman spells to do things against the enemy. Generally speaking, strength determines treatment.

As for Du Qian, a righteous god whose strength is high or low, ordinary practitioners would not provoke it. After all, if you kill a god, the karma is much greater than killing someone, and you will suffer a lot of disasters in your future practice. , Serious ones will even be directly punished by heaven.

And Du Qian didn't dare to rely on his status to be too arrogant. He was also afraid that if he offended a master like Jing Guang, he would be able to refuse to punish him arbitrarily with a talisman.

So he set up a talisman formation and erected a stone tablet out of caution, to ensure that he would never have disputes with others over this valley in the future.

When Du Qian was dealing with these matters, the bald head kept squatting not far away with the little tiger for fun, and did not speak out to participate.Originally, he was quite familiar with Liu Lao and Xiao Qi, and they were very enthusiastic when they met, but just after he found out that these two were monsters, his attitude softened.It's not that bald heads discriminate against monsters, it's just that many monsters attacked Du Qian before, and even a little rabbit monster was dangerous, so he felt that he had to be vigilant against all monsters.

Du Qian's purpose of this trip has also been achieved, so after arranging the valley and the two little monsters, the group returned home.After he went back to the valley to make sure everything was all right, he went to Shiyuan Village through Futian, and handed over a cupping jar filled with real earth fire to Lin Zijuan.

The Kitchen Goddess was overjoyed to receive the cupping pot, and said that having this pot of Earth's True Fire would help her practice for at least 50 years!Du Qian also noticed that the Firebird on her shoulder had grown from the size of a sparrow to the size of a magpie. Thinking about the half pot of Earth's Real Fire before coming here, it not only restored the Firebird's vitality, but also made a considerable growth. .

After seeing off the Kitchen Goddess, Du Qian went to the Earth Temple again, and saw Eighth Uncle and Zhang Gai greet him outside the temple.

After Du Qian and Zhang Gai went to see the Eighth Uncle that day, the old man died seven days later. At that time, the whole village mourned and buried the old man in Xishan, but the old man who officially turned into a ghost finally decided to stay in the earth temple as a ghost , continue to guard the village.

This eighth uncle has great fortune, so his spiritual body is very tenacious. Although he has just become a new ghost, after receiving Du Qian's divine power, he can walk under the moonlight without any scruples, which is faster than raising him in the temple for a year. Zhang Gai was several times stronger, literate, well-versed in affairs, and his ability to handle affairs was nothing to say, so Du Qian was more at ease and handed over the affairs of the Earth Temple to him.

Du Qian looked at the two ghosts, asked with a smile if there was anything going on recently, then took out the thousand-day flower, and said: "This spirit flower can bloom for three years, and the flower energy is good for ghosts. Just put it in the temple, you can rely on the fragrance to practice, and you can be more diligent."

When the eighth uncle saw it, he hurriedly bowed and said, "It's better for the adults to keep these spiritual objects for themselves. It's a great blessing for the two of us to share the incense in the temple."

Du Qian waved his hand and said: "Don't mind, this thing is not very useful to me, but it will be easier for you to do things after you have more skills, and you won't be easily bullied by some evil spirits."

Seeing what Du Qian said, the two no longer refused, and respectfully accepted the thousand-day flower.

Du Qian turned back to Futian, spent a lot of effort with a tooth knife to cut the huge pile of gold by the pond into fist-sized gold nuggets, then moved to an open space, took out the cupping pot given to him by the Goddess of Vesta, It was filled with a can full of Earth's True Fire.

I saw him use Lingyu to set up a formation around the pile of gold on the ground. After the formation was activated, a yellow light flashed, and all the gold nuggets got rid of gravity and floated up, suspended on the top of the formation. The position of the upper three feet.

This "hanging formation" is the basic formation method commonly used in smelting gold and stone in the refining process, and it is not very difficult, so Du Qian successfully arranged it the first time.

He placed the cupping jar in the center of the formation, under the floating gold nugget, and when he urged it with divine power, he heard a "boom!", and a white flame two or three meters high burst out from the cupping jar, and the incandescent flames flowed across the entire golden mountain. The billowing heat wave instantly formed a gust of hot wind blowing everywhere.

Du Qian quickly waved his hand and shot out a wave of divine power, and saw that the divine power was like a cloud covering the flames on the outer layer of the Jinshan Mountain, and the hot wind blowing around suddenly became weaker, as if the heat was isolated in the cloud formed by the divine power.

So Du Qian continued his efforts and unleashed another divine power, and the cloud and mist added another layer. Under the action of the two layers of cloud and mist, the air outside the formation was no longer so scorching hot, and the heat of the real fire of the extreme earth was restrained in the Within the scope of divine power, the golden mountain was fully smelted.

The technique Du Qian is using now is the technique of "Layer Cloud Stacking Flame" learned from Jingguang Zhenren's Cangjing Pavilion. Using this layer of cloud stacking flame technique can not only restrain the firepower and control the fire, but also can be practiced at a high level. Can increase the power of fire.According to the introduction in the classics, up to nine layers of cloud tents can be stacked. At that time, even ordinary fire can be used to smelt extremely strong black iron!

Now Du Qian could only stack two layers of cloud tents, and saw that the Earth Extreme Real Fire was gathered under the two layers of cloud tents, and the shape of the flames became like clouds and mist, and the firepower became more concentrated.However, the Earth's True Fire is the essence flame extracted from the lava, and its power is very powerful. Although the cloud tent formed by divine power can contain the power of the flame, it cannot last long. The real fire burned and disintegrated, so Du Qian could only continue to exert his divine power, continuously releasing layers of cloud tents, which consumed a huge amount of divine power.

Fortunately, it was not a problem to smelt gold with real fire at the extreme end of the earth. It didn't take long for the gold nuggets on the golden mountain to soften and gradually melted into golden water.After a while, the melted gold water mixed with the incompletely melted gold nuggets turned into a large ball with a diameter of four to five meters.

Seeing the last moment, Du Qian gritted his teeth and put in more effort. The cloud tents in his hands passed layer by layer, gradually surpassing the burning speed of real fire. Two layers of cloud tents became three layers. The temperature rose a little more, and in the blink of an eye, all the gold nuggets were melted, completely turning into gold water.

Du Qian put away the cupping jar, only to see that there was only a shallow layer of the bottom of the jar, which showed that the consumption of more than a dozen tons of gold was huge.He breathed a sigh of relief and sat down outside the formation. With the help of the strong earth energy in Futian, he recovered his spiritual body that seemed a little empty due to the excessive consumption of divine power, and then used his divine power to drive golden runes into the formation. Among the big balls of golden water suspended above the law.

These runes are the fire refining runes needed to refine the golden treasure tree. I saw that as the runes melted into the golden water, the golden water ball gradually elongated and became a cylinder. The two ends began to fork, and each branch branched out into three branches, and then each branch branched out into three branches again. It took several hours to repeat this process. The branches at both ends were divided four times, and one tree had 81 branches. , a golden tree with 81 roots appeared in front of Du Qian, it was more than 20 meters high!

The golden treasure tree is blooming with light, like a breathtaking fairy tree!

After the Golden Treasure Tree was successfully shaped, the fire refining rune that Du Qian typed out immediately changed its appearance. Where the rune fell, the golden gold would restrain its light and be covered with a layer of blue, turning Into a deeper blue-gold color.

This kind of rune is used to increase the hardness of the magic weapon. The hardness of gold is very low. Its own hardness alone cannot withstand the bombardment of the sky thunder. It must be assisted by runes.

After hitting runes one after another, the golden treasure tree finally turned into green-gold. Du Qian finished typing the final ending runes, stopped his hands and stood up.Due to excessive consumption, his steps couldn't help but feel a little vain.

The formed golden treasure tree was left floating above the formation. Du Qian dragged his exhausted spirit body back to the bamboo house in the valley, and fell asleep on the bed.

In a daze, he felt as if he was surrounded by a warm breath. This breath was so familiar and kind. It gave him a very reassuring and happy feeling, allowing him to relax completely without any scruples, and fell into a deep sleep. caught.

When he woke up, Du Qian found that he was sleeping in the arms of the bald head, his face was buried on the pair of strong chests, and his body was also tightly held in his arms. The two of them were together like a big bear hugging a little bear. Together, the whole person froze.

At this time, the bald head also woke up, and keenly felt Du Qian's condition, and immediately sat up with him in his arms and asked, "Do you feel better?"

"Well, I'm much better." Du Qian lowered his head and struggled out of the bald-headed embrace, but found that leaving that warm and generous embrace was really disappointing.

Although Du Qian has repeatedly emphasized that he is neither sick nor injured, the bald head still treats him as an injured patient, not letting him get tired at all, not letting the wind blow, and forcing him to rest on the bed, even the mischievous little assistant is very Be obedient, don't play or make trouble, and surround him tightly.

Of course, he can't cook the rice. Xiaozhu went hunting fat pheasants and came back, and the bald head carefully boiled the chicken soup. The two guys must watch him absorb the essence of the chicken soup before they are willing.

Not to mention, it feels really good to be cared for and cared for carefully. Drinking the fragrant chicken soup, Du Qian is even thinking about whether he should pretend to be sick now and then...

Of course, Du Qian would not really pretend to be sick. After drinking the chicken soup, he immediately made a revived expression. His energetic appearance seemed to be like taking some panacea, but the bald head and Xiaozhu really liked me. Set, the two gleefully celebrated, thinking that Du Qian had been cured by their chicken soup.
