Chapter 63 Bestowing a Surname and Naming a Name, Chapter 4 Suppressing and Refining Demons
In the following days, Jiang Jun stayed at home "refining objects with his own hands," continuously refining the four protective objects to improve his cultivation level.
The "Starving Ghost" and the "Blood-Stained Lotus" occasionally caused trouble in the "Gourd of Devouring Ghosts," but neither of them made any waves.
When he had nothing to do, he would sit in the flower room and tease Huangjing Tongzi and Mazhi.
Gradually, he discovered that these two little guys were really extraordinary.
At this moment, Huangjing Boy sat upright among the spiritual plants, holding two lotus seeds, one golden and one red, tightly in his arms.
It first uttered a "ba" sound, and golden ripples spread out; then it uttered a "mi" sound, and red light flashed slightly.
As it was being read, it suddenly connected the two syllables together.
"Ba mi, ba mi, ba mi..." Her little mouth opened and closed, and the rhythm was quite steady.
The red and gold light pulsates rhythmically with the chanting.
Ma Zhi lay down beside it, its front hooves tucked in, its little head resting on its hooves, its eyes half-open and half-closed, but its ears standing straight up, as if it were listening intently.
Each time Huangjing Tongzi uttered a phrase, its ears would twitch, somewhat resembling the scene depicted in ancient books of "a high monk preaching the Dharma, and spirits listening to the teachings."
However, the high monk was a tiny baby the size of a palm, and the monster was a newly grown miniature foal; they looked rather comical no matter how you looked at them.
Jiang Jun looked at the two of them and couldn't help but laugh.
This little guy doesn't seem very bright, yet he can recite the mantras of two lotus seeds at the same time.
Ma Zhi also seemed to have a knack for it, quietly lying down beside him without making a fuss.
"A pure heart is indeed closer to the Way." Jiang Jun couldn't help but smile. "Unlike some people, who have too many distracting thoughts and can't sense anything even if they chant until their throats are hoarse."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huangjing Tongzi stopped, turned his head, stared straight at Jiang Jun with his small eyes, and turned down at the corners of his mouth, looking like he was saying "Are you talking badly about me?"
Ma Zhi also raised his head and snorted, as if to chime in.
Jiang Jun smiled and said, "What? I was talking about Cai Liang, not you..."
Huangjing Tongzi let out a "beep" and ran over with two lotus seeds in his arms, bumping headfirst into Jiang Jun's arms.
Ma Zhi also stood up and nudged his legs with her little head.
Jiang Jun was both amused and exasperated, and rubbed their little heads: "Alright, alright, I won't say anymore, you two are the smartest."
Huangjing Tongzi was finally satisfied. He picked up the lotus seed and ran back to his original spot, continuing to chant "Ba mi, ba mi".
Ma Zhi also lay back down, her ears twitching as she listened.
As Jiang Jun looked at them, something suddenly occurred to him.
As the "Spiritual Plant Purification Project" progresses, more Polygonatum children, as well as more Ganoderma lucidum, Ganoderma lucidum, and Ganoderma lucidum will inevitably be purified in the future.
But those things obviously can't be compared to these two little guys.
"So, let's give them names!"
After thinking about it, he decided to let them take his surname, Jiang.
The whole plant, Huangjing, is warm yellow, so let's call it "turmeric".
Ma Zhi... Ma Zhi is a form of Ganoderma lucidum, called "Jiang Zhi", which sounds like "ginger juice" in Chinese, so it's easy to remember.
"Turmeric," Jiang Jun called out to Huang Jing Tong Zi.
The little one looked up, blinked, and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Huh?"
Jiang Jun: "From now on, you'll be called Jiang Huang."
The little guy paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he cried out, "Ah-beh-ah-beh!" He hugged the lotus seed and spun around twice, clearly overjoyed.
It now has its own name, no longer just the random "Huangjing Boy," but a spirit with a real origin.
"Ginger juice," Jiang Jun called out to Ma Zhi again.
Ma Zhi snorted, nodded its little head, and gently pawed the ground with its hooves, clearly delighted.
Jiang Jun looked at the two little ones' happy faces, but he felt a little guilty.
Turmeric, ginger juice... these names sound like a spice shop.
But as long as they like it, that's fine.
After playing with them for a while, Jiang Jun calmed his mind, sat down cross-legged, and began his cultivation for the day.
He took out the "Gourd of Devouring Demons" and held it in his palm.
The gourd contains the "Starving Ghost" and the "Blood-Stained Lotus".
Although they are temporarily sealed, they still cause trouble from time to time, requiring continuous suppression and purification with the power of the sedative.
The "Starving Ghost" is a lord-level monster with extraordinary characteristics, and Jiang Jun has no way to deal with it for the time being.
But the "Blood Lotus Stained by Demons" is different.
In recent days, Jiang Jun discovered that there was actually a trace of his own spirituality hidden within, which had not been refined by that Blood Demon.
In other words, this is also a strange plant with the potential to be purified into a spiritual plant.
Although Jiang Jun felt that his strength was still insufficient to purify it in a short time, he believed that perseverance would eventually lead to his goal.
He activated the "Five-Colored Stone" visualization diagram, and the five-colored stone slowly rotated in his sea of consciousness, with wondrous fluctuations emanating from his body and flowing into the "Swallowing Ghost Gourd".
Unbeknownst to him, five-colored rays of light emanated from between his eyebrows and condensed into a faint halo behind his head.
The halo swirled with five colors, gentle and not dazzling, subtly exuding an aura of sacred solemnity.
Jiang Jun himself seemed oblivious, but the two little ones beside him stared wide-eyed.
Jiang Huang hesitated for a moment, then ran over with two lotus seeds in her arms, sat cross-legged beside him, and began chanting two Sanskrit mantras.
A golden and red glow shimmered between its brows, echoing the two lotus seeds of Brahma's sound.
The crimson and golden light intertwined and gradually merged into a crimson and golden light curtain, enveloping the entire greenhouse.
That is the Dharma realm of the red-gold lotus formed by the fusion of the two lotus seeds, "Ba" and "Mi".
Ginger juice also lay to the side, its body gradually radiating a faint crimson-gold glow, resonating with the Dharma realm.
Although it cannot chant incantations, it can still sense the power of the lotus seed.
While Jiang Jun used the five-colored stones to suppress the two monsters inside the gourd, he also kept an eye on the condition of the two little ones.
As Jiang Huang chanted the mantra more steadily, the crimson-gold Dharma realm flickered between light and shadow, as if it were breathing; the radiance emanating from Jiang Juice, though faint, was perfectly synchronized with the Dharma realm, without the slightest disorder.
With a slight sense of relief, Jiang Jun continued to operate the "Five-Colored Stone," and a magnificent glow rose throughout the entire greenhouse.
If it weren't for the "Unforbidden" talisman itself covering it, it would probably be visible from a great distance.
Inside the "Gourd of Devouring Ghosts," the starving ghost struggled incessantly, its eerie aura surging and churning, emitting terrifying screams.
Hunger pollution surged forth like a tide, seeping from the gourd from time to time, but was dispelled by the crimson golden light.
The "Demonic Blood Lotus" may seem quiet, but it is actually quite troublesome. Its strange demonic rhythm continues to spread, as if it is sending out some kind of signal.
Jiang Jun remained unmoved, his true energy intertwined with the power to suppress things, and under the control of the "Five-Colored Stone," it continuously poured into the "Gourd of Devouring Demons."
The "Ghostly Prohibition" light flickers, subtly diminishing their sense of existence as "ghosts".
The purple and white light of "Ghostly Sorrow" is like a sword, constantly slashing away at its eerie nature.
The "Divine Rooster Catches the Five Poisons Talisman" transforms into a small rooster covered in crimson flames, constantly burning and pecking at the eerie energy.
Meanwhile, the "Gourd of Devouring Ghosts" was both suppressing and refining the true forms of the Starving Ghost and the Blood-Stained Lotus.
The four protective objects are interconnected, and these two troublemakers cannot cause any immediate trouble.
