Duobao Zhenren looked at the back of the little Taoist priest in the distance, a touch of kindness flashed on his face, and then he turned to me and said, "Li Daoyou, it may take a while for Ziming to go to the furnace to start the fire, why don't we go to the main hall to have a cup of tea and rest for a while." ”

"It's okay, everything is subject to the arrangement of Duobao Daoyou."

I had climbed the mountain road for most of the day, and I happened to be tired and had back pain, so I readily agreed.

So Duobao Zhenren took me and Jin Ling into the Taoist temple.

But as I walked, I felt the air around me suddenly become dry, and even faintly I could smell a smell of sulfur, and before long, my throat was hot and dry, and my back was sweating profusely.

This strange scene surprised me secretly, I was now in a big steamer, so stuffy that I was panicked, and I even worried that if I continued like this, I would not be roasted.

Fortunately, I followed Duobao Zhenren all the way to turn left and right, passed through the layers of houses, and finally came to a large hall.

The inside of the hall is much cooler than the outside, the floor is spotlessly cleaned, and the tables and chairs and other items are also placed in an orderly manner.

After sitting down, Duobao Zhenren filled us with a cup of herbal tea, and said with a slight smile: "Li Daoyou looks hot, let's drink a cup of tea to moisten my throat." ”

I was already thirsty with smoke in my throat, took the cup and even saved the polite words, directly raised my head and drank it, after a while, I still felt that I still didn't quench my thirst, so I simply snatched the teapot from Duobao Zhenren's hand and drank it in a big gulp.

After drinking the whole pot of tea in one go, I finally lay down on my back in the chair with satisfaction.

"Master, look at your sweat here, the slave and maid will wipe it for you."

Jin Ling saw that I was sweating profusely, so she quickly got up and took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from my forehead for me.

When she was done, she stood behind me again, fanned me with a handkerchief, and when she had cooled me, she began to put her hands on my shoulders and massage them gently.

"Master, what do you think, is the strength okay?" Jin Ling pressed and asked carefully at the same time.

I lazily stepped up to the chair and said earnestly: "Yes, your massage technique has improved a lot, at least it won't hurt me." Even so, you can't be proud, you know, the massage is broad and profound, and you still need to make persistent efforts. ”

"Well, the slave knows it, and she will definitely force practice in the future to make it comfortable for the master to serve." Jin Ling hummed softly, and then massaged harder and harder.

I simply squinted my eyes and enjoyed it, and my heart was full of comfort and comfort.

"Ahem, ahem." Duobao Zhenren coughed lightly twice on the side and said: "Li Dao is a friendly blessing, I am really envious of others to be accompanied by this beautiful woman." ”

I nodded, and said undeniably: "Indeed, having Jin Ling is a blessing that I cultivated in my previous life, she not only took care of my daily life, but even saved me from danger several times, it can be said that she has become an indispensable part of my life." ”

When Jin Ling heard me say this, her face first flashed with surprise, and then she was full of joy, and then she secretly glanced at me from the corner of her eye, and her bright eyes rippled with color.

Of course, I had my back to Jin Ling, and I didn't know anything about all this, and after taking a sip of tea, I asked Duobao Zhenren: "Duobao Daoist, I am very interested in refining weapons, can you explain to me about this knowledge, of course, if it involves the technology of your sect, it doesn't matter if you don't answer." ”

"Hehe, Li Daoyou is serious, if others ask about the poor Dao, they will definitely not answer, but since you asked, I will naturally say nothing."

As soon as it was mentioned that there was something about refining, Duobao Zhenren immediately came to the spirit, sat upright, and talked endlessly, "Li Daoyou doesn't know, this refining tool is a university question, in ancient times, it was divided into gold refining, wood refining, water refining, fire refining, earth refining, etc., there are many refining methods.

But it's a pity, with the changes of the times, plus the loss of various technologies, in modern times, in the end, only one way of fire refining remains, and my Lingbao Sect is one of the best.

Fire refining is divided into two kinds: "Innate Yang Fire" and "Earth Evil Fire", the ancestors of my Lingbao School have learned from the experience accumulated in the process of refining that the Earth Demon Fire is not only purer and higher than the Innate Yang Fire, but also particularly durable and stable, and can extract impurities more effectively when refining the magic weapon, so that the overall quality of the magic weapon is higher, and it is more spiritual and tough. ”

I didn't know anything about refining weapons, and after listening to it, I couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What are the Innate Yang Fire and Earth Evil Fire you just mentioned?" How come I've never heard of these two fires? ”

"Hehe, it's normal that Li Daoyou hasn't heard of it."

Duobao Zhenren smiled indifferently, shook his head and explained, "In fact, these two kinds of fire are the names of ancient times, the current innate yang fire is also the yang fire in the monk's body, and the fire of the earth evil comes from the leylines of the earth, to put it bluntly, it is the flame of the volcanic eruption. About 400 years ago, I sent a patriarch named "Lingbao Venerable" to travel here, and now this Tianshen Mountain contains the fire of the earth, so I established a mountain gate here, and named the sect after his Taoist name, and finally there was the Lingbao Sect and the glory was raised. ”

I was shocked when I heard this, stretched out my hand to the ground under my feet, and asked, "According to you, there is a volcano under our feet?" ”

"That's right! The reason why our sect is famous for refining weapons is because of the volcano under our feet. Duobao Zhenren said proudly: "This is also the reason why Li Daoyou will be sweating profusely as soon as he steps into the Taoist temple, in fact, it is already good like you, and some ordinary people are even more unbearable, and it will not take long to faint from heat stroke when they enter the Taoist temple." ”

I couldn't help but gasp when I heard this, and today I was kind of eye-opening.

Before this, I never thought that the sect could be built on a volcano, and I have to say that the ideas and wisdom of human beings in ancient times were really unique and should not be underestimated.

Just as I was chatting with Duobao Zhenren, the little Taoist priest of Ziming trotted all the way to the main hall, and said, "Master, Li Guiren, the fire of the earth has been introduced into the furnace by me, please move to the refining pavilion." ”

"Ziming did a good job." Duobao Zhenren praised the little Taoist, then got up and said to me: "Li Daoyou, bring the thunder wood and drawings, and Poor Dao will start to build a magic sword for you." ”

I hurriedly stood up, suppressed the excitement in my heart, clasped my hands into fists and said, "I'm tired." ”

In this way, our group followed behind Ziming, turned a few corners, and came to a room in the central area of the Taoist temple.

This room presents a square space, about 30 zhang in length and width, and is made of an unknown light blue stone block, which feels cool to the touch.
