Chapter 25 Corpse Refining Kiln

The sound of the ghost knocking on the door lasted about half a stick of incense, and the cry of the raccoon cat also changed from a strange cry to a howl during the half-incense period, just like the cry of a baby, which made the five people in the room scream in fear. Chang simply knelt on the bed and howled outside the room, shouting to the immortal for his life.

What people fear most is not death, but the fear of death. Although Chang's family has made up their minds to die, facing this deadly unknown force, it still reveals the innate desire for survival of animals. Not only Chang's family, but even Ding Yi began to fear at this moment. Originally, Ding Yi knew that as a key criminal arrested by the imperial court, he was already very content to survive until now, and never took death seriously. The reason why he did not hesitate to hide from all over the world to survive was to take his life for his wife and children. But at this moment, Ding Yi felt for the first time since his life.

When it was about to die, the stiff body of Sishan's family in the past appeared in their minds immediately, especially Chang Sishan's father, whose eyes were open when he died, and his eyes were hung with his eyes open, and his face was ferocious. This was the first time Ding Yi saw him. Although he was already hard, the fear of dying in his eyes seemed to be frozen in his pupils. At first Ding Yi couldn't figure it out, but at this moment he had fully understood that the old man didn't want to hang himself. When he was hung on the rope, his consciousness was probably awake, and he might have watched himself hang himself with his own eyes...

Just as Ding Yi was thinking about it, the sound of the ghost knocking on the door suddenly stopped. I don’t know if it was the howling of the raccoon cat played a role or the sound of Chang’s head that influenced the thing. There was no other sound in the room except the muffled groan of the raccoon and Chang’s sob. Then Chang was also frightened. The cat stopped humming, leaving only a dead silence, and the atmosphere seemed to be even more strange than when the ghost knocked on the door.

Just as Ding Yi wiped his sweat and was about to hang the demon mirror that fell to the ground, the door suddenly opened with a clang, and the huge force suddenly pushed Ding Yi back, his head was knocking on the corner of the table. The cat rushed past Ding Yi and stood at the door with a sound. Ding Yi covered his head and slowly raised his head. Suddenly, he saw that the cat at the door seemed to be several times larger, and his huge body almost blocked the entire door. Nine tails opened in a fan-shaped shape, and the hair on his body was scattered with black air. Ding Yi closed his eyes and shook his head, and then took a closer look. The cat was a cat, but it had not become bigger, and there was only one tail.

"Can I open the sky in the dark?" Ding Yi stood up with the table and grabbed the peach tree branches. At this moment, the raccoon cat suddenly turned his head to Ding Yi, bit Ding Yi's neck of clothes with his mouth, and pulled it out the door desperately, with great power as if he was a living person.

Ding Yi understood that the cat had no malicious intentions, but asked him to follow it. "Maybe, this cat knows how to break this thing? But if he follows him, what should he do if the four young and old in the room?"

While Ding Yi was hesitating, his youngest son suddenly rolled his eyes, and his pupils immediately turned into spinning spindles, or rather, they turned into a pair of cat eyes. "Ding Gong, follow me, your wife, children and my benefactor will be safe!" After saying this, the youngest son spitted white foam on the bed, and pierced his head in Luo's arms and was unconscious.

After hearing this, Ding Yi completely understood that this cat was here to repay the kindness of Chang's family and would not say lies, "Please take good care of the child, I will go back if I go... If I can't come back... You can quickly take Sister Chang and the child out of Chang's camp tomorrow morning, and you must pull the child up!" After explaining to Luo's family, Ding Yi stepped out of the house one by one, took the door with his backhand, and disappeared into the night with the black cat.

It's strange that Ding Yi usually has no strength to tie a chicken, and he has to grab a chick from the fence for a long time, but that night he felt like he was full of energy. He jumped over the house and walked onto the flat ground. He was born with night blindness, and it was difficult to see things as soon as the sky was dark. Without the lights, it was impossible to see things. But he was particularly clear that he could see things four or five feet away in front. He could see every move clearly.

After jumping around, Ding Yi followed the black raccoon to Chang Sishan's house and saw the raccoon stop in front of a large water tank.

"What does this mean?" Ding Yi came to the water tank and looked at the water tank carefully. It was obviously not a thing from the current dynasty. The water tank was very strange in shape, a bit like a gourd. There were two protruding "belly" in the middle and upper sections of the tank. There were a circle of beast patterns engraved around the edge of the tank. It seemed that it was not something used to hold water, but some kind of sacrifice dish in ancient times. He had visited Changsishan home before, and there were only a few pieces of broken furniture. He had never seen this thing at all. "Is it because he dug from the mountains these days?

Ding Yi was thinking about it, and suddenly saw the raccoon suddenly building the water tank, and his head was bleeding. The sound was like a landslide. The raccoon family shook three times, but the raccoon did not give up. Instead, he took a few steps back and continued to hit the water tank with his head. Another loud bang. After these two strokes, the raccoon could no longer stand firm, but he still shook his way back and prepared to continue to hit.

"It turns out that something happened in Changjiaying is because of this..." Ding Yi sighed, "God bless my wife and children! I will leave!" After sighing, Ding Yi took a few steps back and suddenly hit the water tank. He heard a loud noise like the sky collapsed and the earth cracked. Even the trembling Chang and Luo were shocked...

"Oh...! This is a corpse refining kiln!" Hearing this, Zhang Guozhong could tell a little of his fault. He heard from his master mentioned this thing. Since the beginning of the Warring States Period, alchemy began to be popular in the world. People firmly believe that the purpose of immortality or becoming an immortal can be achieved by taking elixirs. Before the Han Dynasty, alchemy was mainly based on yellow and white art. Most of its raw materials were heavy metal substances such as mercury, lead, and tin. By the Qin and Han Dynasties, "Golden Alchemy" gradually came into being. The raw materials were added with some non-metallic substances, but most of them were still heavy metal substances. By the Qin and Han Dynasties, "Golden Alchemy" gradually. The raw materials were added with some non-metallic substances, but most of them were still heavy gold.

The main part is that, by the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the golden elixir technique was still loved by most princes and nobles. However, as we all know, elixirs should be taken in conjunction with the "heart method" of many Taoist schools (Maoshan, Quanzhen has psychic methods. Although the details vary, it can basically be said to be similar). Those who understand the "heart method" can take elixirs to increase the essence and replenish qi and prolong life. However, if ordinary people take such things with severe heavy metal content that exceed the standard, the consequences are no different from drinking pesticides directly. Not only will they not be able to live forever, but they will easily be poisoned to death.

As more and more people died of poisoning due to taking pills, by the end of the Tang Dynasty, traditional pills mainly made golden elixirs gradually lost the trust of princes and nobles. This means that some alchemists who made a fortune by refining elixirs for high-ranking officials and nobles had no jobs. In order to win the trust of these princes and nobles again, these methods invented a terrifying alchemy technique - Chiling Pill.

The so-called Red Spirit Pill is not a traditional heavy metal material, but a living person who is lively and roaring. In the early days, most people studied Taoism. When they refine people into pills, they would try every means to disrupt the arrangement of the souls and then seal it into pills. This pill will not be poisoned or stolen after taking it. On the contrary, it will also have effects similar to stimulants. For a time, the so-called Red Spirit Pill began to be popular in the upper class again. However, using human elixirs is different from using metal elixirs. It involves Feng Shui issues. Most of the red Spirit Pills' elixirs' elixirs are cultivated in the deep mountains and the yin, and the refining method is strictly confidential. This "corpse refining kiln" is the container for refining the Red Spirit Pills, scientifically known as "Golden Body Kui", and "corpse refining kiln" is just a common name.

However, not every alchemist is a master of Taoism. Due to the rapid popularity of the Red Spirit Pill, some jealous two-sword alchemist also blindly set up and changed to practice the Red Spirit Pill. However, these people do not know how to disrupt the arrangement of human souls, and do not have the ability to seal human souls in the pill. Most of the resentful souls left on this "corpse refining kiln". Over time, thousands of souls will become the climate, so these two-sword alchemists became the first batch of unlucky guys, which is also considered as

Coincidentally, although this "corpse-refining kiln" killed these two swords of alchemists, it also made another group of people have a plan to make money. These people were some Taoist children with injustice. For them, these abandoned corsage-refining kilns were simply valuable and cheap to make money. In the chaotic times of the late Tang Dynasty, there were countless Taoist scum who used the abandoned corsage-refining kiln to extort and rob families and even to commit money to kill people. This thing was also recognized by later generations as one of the most difficult things.

"Could it be that you can break that thing by hitting your head?" Zhang Guozhong didn't know much about the corpse refining kiln. He became confused when Sun Ting said this.

"No, that method was taught by the raccoon cat. It's strange. That night, Ding Yi and the raccoon cat used their lives to exchange for the lives of Ding Yi's wife and children and the old lady Chang's family. However, in the next few decades, Changjiaying was a well-known ghost village, and none of the people who went there came back alive..." Sun Ting sighed.

"Ding Yi... and the raccoon cat... are both dead?" Zhang Guozhong showed a sense of regret on his face.

"Yes... The next day, Chang and Luo looked for each other in the village, and finally found the body of Ding Yi and the cat at Chang Sishan's house. Ding Yi's brain fractured and his death was very miserable..." Sun Ting pursed his lips and kept shaking his head...

After finding Ding Yi's body, Luo fainted on the spot, and Chang also cried several times while holding the cat's body. Fortunately, the two children were quite sensible. Seeing his mother and the old lady feel sad, although he felt uncomfortable even if he lost his father, he still comforted the two elders.

Finally, Mrs. Chang and Mrs. Luo dug two shallow pits at the entrance of the village, buried Ding Yi and the raccoon cat, and took all the savings of the Ding family (Ding Yi is a poor fortune-teller, and the family doesn't have any valuable things. Although Mr. Daoguang gave him 1,000 taels of silver but had not moved much, it was cash silver, which was more than 60 pounds. Mrs. Luo took two children and a lame old lady, and at most she could get about 300 taels of rice, and the rest was thrown at home). While it was still dawn, the four people fled the Chang family camp as if they were fleeing, and Shi En settled the house.

A few days after arriving in Shien, Luo fell ill in bed. This disease lasted for a year. Although all the doctors from all over the country were invited, Luo finally died in the third year of Xianfeng and went to see his husband...
