Great Song

If someone else said this, Chi Liaozi would only think it to please him, but when he said it from Zhen Qiong's mouth, he really disliked it.The implication was "I've given you all the blueprints, why are you still here?!" But this appearance made the smile lines on Chi Liaozi's lips a bit deeper.

That day when he was caught using the alchemy furnace indiscriminately, in order to get rid of the crime, he actually revealed the method of refining mercury without any secrets.Chi Liaozi went back and thought about it, and suddenly found that this method is not only feasible, but also should have a formula, and the "tool" that Zhen Qiong mentioned is the key.However, this kind of wonderful method can be passed down from generation to generation as a treasure of Zhenguan, no matter how careless a person is, shouldn't it be so easy to say it?

Feeling itchy, Chi Liaozi asked Duan Xuanshuang to test it out.The phrase "tell the abbot" was just a joke, intended to see how much he valued this prescription.Unexpectedly, he was really intimidated, and what he handed over was a sketch of a large furnace capable of refining thirty catties of cinnabar.Now even Chi Liaozi was speechless. Fang Zi, who could occupy the entire Anyang City, and even Xiangzhou Shuiyin City, was not as important as a steamed fish?

Is this kid too stupid, or did he not take this wonderful method of refining mercury to heart at all?So what is the extent of his alchemy?The more curious he became, Chi Liaozi still couldn't help coming over to have a look.As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he received such a disgusting "greeting". It seemed that he really didn't pay attention to the sketch.

Without directly explaining the purpose of coming, Chi Liaozi walked around the room with his hands behind his back, and lit the pill furnace that was about to fire: "What are you going to refine?"

Zhen Qiong almost rolled her eyes at him: "Uncle Shi also saw it, since green vitriol was put in, it is naturally acid refining."

Isn't the water furnace designed for refining acid?The hot steam of green vitriol evaporates and dissolves into the water of the tripod, which becomes sulfuric acid.Simplest.

acid?This word is a little strange, but Chi Liaozi is also proficient in alchemy, he pondered for a while and said: "But you want to refine alum essence?"

There is a saying in the "Tang Dynasty Tudui Jing" in the Tang Dynasty: "Both sand and gallbladder are corrosive." Using these two medicinal materials, what is refined is "water" and "alum essence".

Chi Liaozi himself has tried it, if green vitriol is used to suffocate the furnace with water and fire, green vitriol oil can be refined.This thing is very powerful. Not only can it burn clothes and corrode weapons, but it can also burn your hands if you accidentally touch it. It is very poisonous.So he just gave it a try and stopped practicing these things.Since this kid entered the alchemy room, no one has ever taught him, how did he come up with the idea of ​​refining alchemy?

Chi Liaozi frowned involuntarily, fearing that Zhen Qiong might have been misled by some alchemy, thinking that this essence was really a strange thing that "becomes all medicines, all medicines are gods".

Unexpectedly, Zhen Qiong blinked: "Of course it is used to observe the change of physical properties. If there is no acid and alkali, many reactions can only be carried out in the alchemy furnace. How to observe with naked eyes?"

In fact, the refining of acid and alkali was first researched by the "Water and Fire School". They like to tinker with these things the most. They have made seventeen or eight kinds of acid-base derivatives alone. It is said that they will learn from those who study Gewu and try the electric method. .In Zhen Qiong's eyes, this is a bit of a nonsense, but the stones of other mountains can be used to attack jade.Whether it is acid or alkali, gold and stone can change when they enter it, and produce completely different new things.Analyzing the principles and finding out the source is the goal of the "Golden Stone School".It is precisely because of this that at the beginning of alchemy, acid and alkali are first refined, which has become the practice of Jinshi School.

But after the words were out of his mouth, Zhen Qiong remembered that the Dao of Alchemy here is not prosperous, and the factions have not even been demarcated, so he hurriedly explained: "It's like the sulfuric acid distilled from this green vitriol, which is used to dissolve copper ore, and then Putting in iron pieces, copper will adhere to the iron, and pure copper will be smelted. How can such changes be seen in the furnace.”

This, isn't this gall water refining copper?Chi Liaozi is also considered to have extensive knowledge and knowledge, so he naturally knows that some places can produce "bile water", the water is green in color, and copper can be leached out when iron blocks are placed in it.In the alchemy room, there is also a formula for "turning iron into copper", but the alchemists are all secretive, and they think it is the method of touching gold, and they will never pass it on to non-confidant children.Who would have thought that the evolution of it could be explained so clearly in this child's mouth!

After hesitating for a moment, Chi Liaozi finally said, "What's the use of observing these?"

"Naturally, it is to distinguish nature, to understand the Dao!" Speaking of her great wish, Zhen Qiong immediately cheered up, "There are countless gold and stones in the world, but only a few kinds can be distinguished. Who knows how many others have not been discovered. What is it? We only hope to find new gold, identify its effectiveness, and use it to find the root of good fortune!"

When she said this, Zhen Qiong's eyes were shining, she was full of enthusiasm, but Chi Liaozi didn't know how to respond.For golden alchemy, isn't the most important goal "longevity"? "Pretend to seek external things to strengthen themselves", so they "swallow gold" in order to be able to borrow the solidity of gold; refine "lead and mercury" to make it change nine times, and achieve great medicine.And all of them are for the purpose of becoming a fairy by committing suicide and living forever.

But the more you learn alchemy, the more you know its poison.Gold is poisonous, mercury is poisonous, lead is poisonous, sulfur, mica, stone gallbladder...all the ingredients for alchemy are highly poisonous, and after refining, they are all five poisons!In the Tang Dynasty, not only many alchemists died after taking the alchemy, but even the son of heaven, Gongqing, died suddenly because of the golden elixir.

Because of this, golden alchemy will decline in this dynasty. How can the alchemy that even the alchemists themselves dare not take can achieve longevity?

Chi Liaozi couldn't solve this puzzle, so he could only turn to medicine refining, in order to refine some elixir that could cure diseases and strengthen the body.It's just that this still can't make his Dao heart clear.Until today, he heard a "Tao" completely different from himself.

Not for longevity, but for reason.Use the alchemy furnace in his hand, the medicinal material in the furnace.

This "Tao" seems to be more clear and simple than his own "Tao".Chi Liaozi was stunned for a while, then suddenly said: "Is this from your master?"

Does Xiangzhou have such a golden core court?Why did he never know?

Zhen Qiong was stunned, it seems that it is not easy to push it on the cheap master?Coughing dryly, he said, "It's said in a Dan book I read when I was young."

"Where is the book?" Chi Liaozi immediately regained his energy and asked.

"Uh... Once I went to the latrine and accidentally fell into the pit." Zhen Qiong giggled, pretending to be innocent.

Chi Liaozi: "..."

I believe you are a ghost!Cursed in his heart, but in the end, Chi Liaozi didn't say much.Each person has a personal situation, and it is a chance for him to meet this son, why bother to ask so much?

With a long sigh, Chi Liaozi finally said: "Forget it. You can find your own way. It's not bad to have this way."

Is this going to let him go?Zhen Qiong asked cautiously: "Then can I go to the warehouse to get the ingredients? I'm almost used up..."

"It doesn't matter, with this token, you can get any ... cough, as long as it is not too expensive medicine." Chi Liaozi took out a token and handed it over.

He originally wanted to say that he could take any kind of medicine, but considering this kid's temper, it's better not to be so full.Zhu'er who can steam fish in a pill furnace might want to waste everything.

Zhen Qiong's eyes brightened, she immediately took the sign, put it in her arms, and looked at the old man with affectionate eyes.After thinking for a while, he warned: "Although the method of smelting mercury produces a lot of mercury, the mercury mist is very poisonous. When refining mercury, you must find a remote place and avoid inhaling mercury vapor. When cleaning, the sulfur will be attached to it for an hour or two before it can be completely removed."

Is this reciprocal?Chi Liaozi smiled: "I'm a little old-fashioned about these little tricks. Why don't we talk about this essence..."

A fine horse stopped in front of the gate of the Han Mansion, and a young man wearing a lacquered gauze headband and a purple narrow shirt with dark cloud embroidered patterns jumped off the horse.Han Zhong, who was waiting by the door, hurried up to greet him: "Ah Lang is back!"

Han Miao nodded and asked as he walked in, "Is grandma safe? Have you taken the pill again?"

"No, no. After the Taoist Taoist was imprisoned, the old lady stopped taking pills, and she had to practice a set of channeling skills every day. She looked good." Han Zhong replied quickly with a smile on his face.

Before that, he had ordered his servants to tell the young master the news of the arrest of the wild Taoist, and he also focused on what Daoist Zhen did that day.Asking about it now, he is still honored.Being able to meet the immortal elder is also inseparable from his recommendation.

When Han Miao heard this, his shoulders loosened slightly, but he walked faster, and he reached the back hall not long after.As soon as he saw the old lady in the hall, he immediately knelt down and saluted: "The grandson is not filial, and he can't wait on the lap of the grandma."

Seeing the grandson, the old lady almost burst into tears, and hurriedly got up to help her: "It's good to be back! Let the old man see, have you lost weight?"

Han Miao got up immediately and held his grandmother firmly by the arm.Mrs. Han took a closer look, only to feel that she was a little darker and a little thinner, but her face was weathered and her black eyes were still warm and energetic. It seemed to make people feel at ease. How could she look like she had been out for several months?

Feeling pity and peace in her heart, the old lady patted her grandson's arm lightly: "It's good to be back..."

Fearing that the old man would be too emotional, Han Miao helped him back to his seat, and then he said with a smile, "I got a lot of good things on this trip to the west. They are all in the convoy. When tomorrow comes, I will let my grandma see something new. "

Then Huatou, he talked about the scenery along the way.Han Miao had an excellent eloquence, and he chose some anecdotes and strange things to tell, and the old lady was fascinated by just a few words, thinking that this journey was just for fun, how could there be any pain in the journey?

Seeing that the grandmother was relieved, Han Miao said with a smile that he missed the dishes at home, which made the old lady rush to let the servants prepare the banquet.After a meal, the grandparents and grandchildren enjoy themselves happily, so how can there be any pain of parting?

After eating with his grandmother, he also watched the legendary "guidance technique". After the old lady rested, Han Miao respectfully exited the room.

As soon as he turned around, the smile on his face faded, and he whispered to Han Zhong who was following him: "Xiao Nian has already voted for the big sect."

As soon as these words came out, Han Zhong's complexion changed suddenly: "How could it be..."

Afraid of disturbing his grandmother's rest, he just waved his hand and strode towards the study. Han Zhong had no choice but to shut up and follow closely.

When he got to the study room and closed the door, Han Zhong finally couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that Xiao Nian really wants to betray the master when he kills?!"
