Ji Feichen used the identity of the Itinerant Immortal Qing Hong to interact with the Immortals of the Mystic Sect.
His friends who had come today included Jing Xuan from the Taiqing Sect, Zhang Yuanchu and Li Jingxun from the Tranquil Daode Buddhism, Liu Zimo and Qing Lan from the Wuwei School, Qin Wu and Wu He from the Great Firmament Palace, and Yu Ming from the Lingwei Sect.
It was the fifth day of May when everyone arrived.
There was no such thing as the Dragon Boat Festival in this world. The closest one was the Five Poisons Festival. It was a festival to worship the Five Poisons Shen Jun to protect the people from being disturbed by the Five Poisons.
According to Ji Feichen's research, the Five Poisons Festival was similar to the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Five Poisons Shen Jun was originally a cultivator of the Mystic Sect. He was proficient in the Five Poisons Gu and refined a Five Poisons God Plague Gu. Later on, he accidentally saved a few mortals in the mortal world. Those mortals began to worship him in order to get rid of diseases.
As time passed, this custom gradually spread. During the Five Poisons Festival every year, they would worship the Five Poisons Shen Jun and ask for the Five Poisons Spirit Talisman to protect their families from being harmed by the Five Poisons. Therefore, the Sir God of Five Poisons became the Lord of the Divine Path and was a deity equivalent to an Earth Immortal.
The most popular saying about the Dragon Boat Festival's tradition of dumplings was Qu Yuan. Although it was not his previous life, Qing Hong still prepared some "dumplings" on this day.
Of course, immortals did not eat grains. Among the cultivators present, even the weakest Li Jingxun did not eat grains from mortals anymore. However, the grains in the Immortal Abode were deliberately planted by Qing Hong. He took the high-quality "Jade Stalk Rice" and watered it with the Triple Light Divine Water. This kind of Jade Stalk Rice was harmless to immortals. Besides, the Jade Stalk Rice contained the essence of the sun and moon, which could be used for immortals to cultivate and replenish their energy. After eating it, impurities would not be eliminated.
Speaking of which, human immortals like them would expel impurities when breathing, so they could avoid certain physiological behaviors.
Wu He played with the green rice dumpling in his hand and asked curiously, "Brother, what is this? I feel that it's no different from ordinary medicinal pills and spiritual water. "The green rice dumpling was tied into the shape of a pyramid with multicolored silk threads, and there was a faint spiritual aura locked inside.
"I call it Zongzi, or Jiaomo. It's shaped like a polyhedron and is made from millet. "Qing Hong smiled mysteriously." There's something special about this thing. You'll know once you taste it. "
The immortals looked at each other and pushed aside the leaves on the outside of the "dumpling", revealing the crystal clear Jade Stem Immortal Dumpling inside. This kind of rice cultivated by immortals was full of spirituality.
Li Jingxun picked up a Zongzi and put it under the sunlight. The sunlight shone on the green jade-like rice dumpling and saw a scarlet fire jujube inside. It looked very beautiful.
After looking at it for a while, Li Jingxun took a bite.
It was soft and glutinous, leaving a fragrant aftertaste in the mouth. If it was paired with the Osmanthus Honeydew that Qing Hong had prepared earlier. The golden honey dew dripped onto the jade-colored rice dumpling, making it look even sweeter.
"Senior Brother's craftsmanship is really good." Li Jingxun was slightly surprised. "This rice dumpling tastes good. I didn't expect Senior Brother to have such craftsmanship."
"I have nothing to do, so I'm just messing around."
He prepared a total of forty-nine Zongzi. There were fire jujube, longan, honey peach, yellow pear, vermilion fruit, and other preserved fruits. There were also peony stuffing, red bean stuffing, and other stuffing. Furthermore, he had placed a curse here.
Suddenly, Jing Xuan covered his mouth and circulated his Qi at the side with a red face. The vermilion fruit Zongzi in his hand had been cast a "Fire Curse" by Qing Hong, which could temporarily increase the power of the True Samadhi Fire.
After eating it, his throat felt like he had swallowed burning charcoal, and it burned. Jing Xuan silently circulated his mystic art and finally refined the fire. Then, he opened his mouth and a scarlet gold True Samadhi Fire burned fiercely. It was ten percent more powerful than the True Fire that he cultivated.
Jing Xuan was surprised. "Junior Brother, this Jiaomo is a kind of spiritual pill?"
"Sort of."
The immortals were curious and tried other kinds of Zongzi.
Yuzhi Female Celestial ate a Zongzi with peony stuffing, and the fragrance of peony spread out from her body.
Seeing this, Qing Hong explained, "This is a Heavenly Fragrance Curse that I cast. After eating this Zongzi, you will be surrounded by the fragrance of flowers for a day. "
Qin Wu also happened to eat the same Zongzi, and the fragrance emitted from his body. He shook his head. "This thing is really troublesome." He silently used immortal light to wipe away the fragrance on his body.
However, Yuzhi Female Celestial quite liked it. She discussed this Zongzi with Qing Lan and Li Jingxun. As they talked, the three girls began to name the Zongzi.
Qing Lan said, "This Fire Jujube Zongzi. Look, the green Zongzi is like the sky, and the red jujube is in it. Isn't it a blue sky and a red sun? "
"In that case, this Zongzi wrapped in yellow pears is the moon?" Li Jingxun had an idea. "Then let's call it Spiritual Pool Reflecting the Moon."
Qing Lan held up another Zongzi with fire jujube, pointed at the top, and said, "The fire jujube of this Zongzi is at the top, and I'm afraid it doesn't match the blue sky and the red sun."
Li Jingxun said, "This is Vermilion Top Blue Cloud." She blurted it out. Next to her, Yuzhi Female Celestial pointed at her Zongzi with peony, "Sister Li, what do you mean by this?"
"Peony is the king of all flowers, and it is a national beauty."
"What about this Osmanthus Zongzi?"
"Green jade is like a Jade Toad sitting at the moon, and the Osmanthus Flower is the treasure of Moon and Moon. So it is called Jade Toad Plucking Osmanthus. "
Li Jingxun was excited. He pointed at the Zongzi in front of him and named them one by one. Moreover, he took out the red brush he got from Ling Wei Immortal Mansion and wrote some words on the side.
"Golden Dragon Riding the Clouds", "Crabapple Drunken Spring", "Jade Lotus Jade Crown", "Jade Bridge Sword Orchid" … Her handwriting was delicate and elegant. Coupled with the various charming names, Qinghong clicked his tongue in wonder. Even when he was poetic, Li Jingxun would deliberately mention a poem.
"Junior Sister, you are really talented."
Other than his appearance, Li Jingxun was inferior to Yuzhi Female Celestial and Qing Lan, he was not inferior to others in other aspects.
"Isn't that so?" Zhang Yuanchu said, "In our Daode Buddhism, Junior Sister is a female immortal with both virtue and talent. She often writes Dharma verses on behalf of the sect leader. "
The three female immortals joked. At the side, Jing Xuan and the others mixed the Zongzi together and tried their luck as if they were drawing straws to see who could eat a better spell and who would be tricked by Qing Hong's spell.
Qing Hong prepared a lot of spells, the "Heavenly Fragrance Spell" and "Fire Spell" were just small ones. Three of the Zongzi were inscribed with the "Dao Capital Diagram", "Dao Heng Diagram", and "Dao Connection Diagram". After eating these three Zongzi, they would be enlightened by the three diagrams and enter the state of enlightenment. Of course, there were a few that were frozen into ice by the Ice Soul Lightning Spell he condensed.
However, after everyone finished eating the Zongzi in front of them, no one gained any enlightenment. Only Jing Xuan and Zhang Yuanchu were frozen by the Ice Soul Lightning Spell.
Qin Wu saw Li Jingxun writing next to the big pot of Zongzi in the center and was speechless. He said, "Do you female immortals have to do this? After you named them, how can we still eat them when we see the names? " Qin Wu patted his stomach. "Anyway, we will throw them into our stomachs sooner or later, why do we have to give them such nice names?"
Yuzhi Female Celestial rolled her eyes at him and said to Li Jingxun, "Sister, look, how should he name the Peony Zongzi he just ate?"
Qinglan giggled at the side. "Sister's Peony Zongzi is a national beauty. But Brother Qin can't even taste it, let alone smell it. It's like a cow chewing on a peony. I think the name is just right. "
Li Jingxun heard this and silently went forward and wrote the corresponding four words on the Zongzi leaves left by Qin Wu.
Qin Wu saw that the three women had a common enemy and knew that he couldn't win against them in an argument. Thus, he looked for Qing Hong to change the topic. "Fellow Daoist, how do you make these Jiaoshu? I think the incantations inside are not bad, you can learn them later. "
Qing Hong smiled. "I have nothing to do in my spare time, so I plant grains in the residence. I thought about it and had a sumptuous meal. So I used this method to seal a few incantations for fun. "
Next, Ji Feichen explained the method of making the Zongzi. "Soak the Jade Stalk Rice in the Sweet Dew of the Mountain Spring and place it on the balcony for three days and three nights to receive the essence of the Sun and Moon."
Hearing the first step, the immortals were speechless.
"The Sun and Moon Dew is a treasure of the heavens, it is a common exchange item for us immortals. Moreover, place it on the balcony? "
The balcony was a necessary item for an immortal residence. Every day, it would produce the corresponding Star Dew for cultivators to refine pills into medicine or cultivate. Of course, all the big sects had them, but if any of the elders saw their descendants using the balcony to do this kind of thing, they would definitely come forward and beat them up.
"After soaking it, find a wide leaf of spirit wood and wrap it. Of course, before wrapping it, incantation must be cast on the leaf. This kind of incantation is similar to refining treasures. Use the veins of the leaf to carve a formation diagram. There are no requirements for the shape of the Zongzi. "
"After the incantation is cast on the leaf, wrap the preserved fruit filling and the stalk rice. Then, use the cut five-colored spirit thread to seal it, not letting the spirit energy leak. Finally, use a steamer to steam it. Of course, the material chosen for this steamer must also be a treasure made of Immortal Spirit Bamboo. "
"This step is the most important. Use the civil and military fire to steam it, forcing the essence energy in the spirit leaf into the Zongzi. Similarly, the incantation contained in the leaf will be injected into the Zongzi. And because of the five-colored thread wrapping around the outside, the incantation's power will not leak. This method is similar to refining elixirs. "
The steamer and the like were made up by Qing Hong. He used the Yin Yang Dragon Whisker Fan to steam the Zongzi. With the help of the fan, he reversed Yin and Yang and urged the Yin and Yang to steam the Immortal Zongzi.
Of course, Ji Feichen naturally did not dare to tell this method to Yuzhi Female Celestial. Otherwise, if Fairy Nun heard that he was using the sect's treasure to make snacks, she would probably use the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice to cut him.
That was why he pretended to use the Immortal Dharma treasure steamer to make it.
Fairy Nun was amused. "Junior Brother is really free. But the materials are not troublesome. My Flying Cloud Island happens to have a bamboo forest, we can try it later. "
Li Jingxun added, "I think Senior Brother's steaming method can be changed. Anyway, you only need to inscribe the formation diagram on the leaf. Later, Sister Yuzhi will cut a few bamboo and cut them into bamboo tubes. Then, inscribe the incantation inside the bamboo tube, put in the stalk rice and preserved fruit, and soak them in water to boil. First, the incantation on the bamboo tube can be used repeatedly, without using spirit leaves. Second, you don't need to use the steamer, you can just use the spirit water and sweet spring. "
Hearing Li Jingxun's words, Qing Hong was stunned. "Tubular Zongzi?"
Li Jingxun drew inferences about other cases from one case, and from Qing Hong's words, she came up with a more convenient method. Qing Hong was secretly surprised: Tubular Zongzi wasn't something that didn't exist in my previous life. It was just that I was obsessed with the appearance of the zongzi at first and didn't think in that direction. Junior Sister Li is really smart, she can think of this just from my words.
Also, looking at Li Jingxun's inscription and poem, she's outstanding. Qing Hong had a good impression of her out of nowhere. Compared to talent, appearance was a small matter.
While everyone was talking and laughing, carefully studying the production of Jiao Millet. Suddenly, a sound came from outside.
Qing Hong frowned and continued talking to Li Jingxun.
"Junior Sister is right. It's similar to printing in the mortal world. Mine is just the first form of engraving. It's a waste of resources, time and effort. But Junior Sister's idea is good, using the bamboo tube to inscribe spirit incantations can be used as a different kind of pill. Also, it's more convenient, and it can also spread the fragrance of the bamboo into the rice stalk. Junior Sister, when you have time, build a kitchen, let's go and cook for fun? "
Rumble — The sound of rocks exploding came from outside.
"Sure. As long as Senior Brother is free. "Li Jingxun smiled and agreed. Immortals like them had long lifespans anyway. Usually, other than meditating and cultivating, it was normal to find some work to do.
Rumble — The sound outside was endless, the immortals were all angry.
"It's not over yet!" Liu Zimo drew a circle with his right hand and a water mirror rose in front of him, reflecting the traces of the fiendish cultivator outside the immortal abode.
"Fiendish cultivator?" Qin Wu was instantly interested. He was a person who hated evil as if it was his personal enemy. But when he came, there was no trace of the fiendish cultivator. But now that he had bumped into them, he looked eager to try.
Seeing this, Jing Xuan said to him, "Junior Brother Qing Hong, there are many fiendish cultivators harassing here. They even caught a few fiendish cultivators and locked them in the back. Dao Brother Qin can suppress them in the Demon Suppression Tower later. It can also be considered as slowing down our tribulation. As for those outside, how about we capture them when we get back? "
"That's good." Qin Wu's face revealed a happy expression. "Our Supreme Firmament Palace was just worried about the lack of fiendish cultivators in the Demon Suppression Tower. These people can be used."
But Qing Hong said, "Today is the immortal abode's banquet, I invite you all as guests. The people outside can stay for now. I didn't want to bother with them. Anyway, the fiendish sect has a tribulation of immortals and fiends. I'll hide in the immortal abode and wait for them to cause trouble for a few days. "
But the immortals didn't think so.
Jing Xuan said, "We just happened to come, there's no time like the present. I think it's because these fiendish cultivators are unlucky. Since we bumped into them, how can we watch your immortal abode be harassed by them? Junior Brother, just raise the immortal abode, we'll help you! "
"That's right, that's right, Jing Xuan is right." Qin Wu agreed. "We're all in the tribulation, it's a good thing if we can end it earlier."
"Besides, we have a lot of people today. If one day we're not here and the fiendish sect attacks, what will you do, Dao Brother? "
The immortals were eager to try. Qing Hong had a helpless expression and couldn't help but look at the Yuzhi Female Celestial next to him.
The fairy knew his identity. Seeing his helpless expression, she thought to herself, "This kid is cunning. He was clearly prepared to attack the fiendish sect, but he had to pretend to be dignified and let others be the bad guys. Forget it, I'll do it. "
So, the fairy helped him speak. "Junior Brother, the other Dao Friends are right. Junior Brother's immortal abode is at the entrance of Southern Border, it's of great significance. As the saying goes, there's no time like the present. Today, while everyone is here, let's decide on the master of the immortal abode so that we won't be entangled by the fiendish sect in the future. "
Everyone encouraged him. Qing Hong couldn't deal with everyone's enthusiasm after repeatedly refusing them, so he could only raise the immortal abode.
A golden glow dyed the ancient battlefield, and a magnificent immortal abode appeared in front of the fiendish cultivators of the Brilliant Sun Fiendish Sect.
"It's out!" The fiendish cultivators of the Brilliant Sun Fiendish Sect were all excited and immediately sent a message to the sect, sending people to seize the immortal abode.
But before the reinforcements arrived, a thundercloud spouted out above the immortal abode, and Taiqing Sword Qi filled the sky.
Qin Wu and Jing Xuan attacked at the same time. One activated lightning, the other controlled sword qi, and they eradicated all the fiendish cultivators in a few moves.
The two were still not done. Qin Wu said, "Let them go and let them call the elites of the fiendish sect. We'll make a mess in Southern Border!"
