Great Song

Because of the teacher's new discovery, Qingfeng is also busy during this time without touching the ground.To sort out the notes from previous years, restart the furnace, verify the process of "gathering elements" and "eliminating elements", and deduce the origin of matter, there is still a lot of data to be calculated.Although there is Mingyue to help tidy up and several new juniors to help, it is still not an easy job.

But Qingfeng didn't complain.This is a great discovery that can change the way of alchemy. The mentor did not keep it private, and passed it on to them directly, and let them participate in the process of sorting out and summarizing.This is not a matter of dividing credit, but giving them the foundation to settle down, and even the opportunity to make a name in history.

Qingfeng only wished that he could not eat or sleep, and be embarrassed for his teacher.What is a little bit of hardship and tiredness, can it compare to the cultivation of their mentor?

So when Zhen Qiong called him and Mingyue to go over, Qingfeng didn't doubt that he was there, and excitedly hugged the notes he had just sorted out and went to answer.

"Teacher, this is just sorted out. The experiment has been repeated 34 times, and your guess should be correct." Even if he is mature and prudent, Qingfeng couldn't help showing his merit.The test this time is alkali salt, which can produce several kinds of things that look similar but have very different effects, and can be divided into two types: poisonous and non-toxic, which is very strange.The mentor guessed that there must be something in it that can make ordinary salt corrosive, making it different from salt.Judging from the experimental results now, this guess is really not bad.

This is also what Qingfeng admires most about his mentor. Every time he has a whimsical idea, he can point to the key point, making people suddenly enlightened.This is really a talent that no one else can learn!

Unexpectedly, Zhen Qiong waved her hand: "I'm not looking for you today because of the affairs in the alchemy room. Take these two books and read them first."

As he spoke, he handed the two identical books to Qingfeng and Mingyue.Qingfeng looked at the ink words printed on the cover, and couldn't help being dazed: ""Mengxi Bi Tan"? Could it be Shen Sitian's new book?"

When Zhen Qiong and Shen Kuo were studying printing inks together, Qingfeng knew that the famous "Mengxisheng" in "Ri Xin Bao" was actually Shen Kuo.No wonder the length of those essays was so refreshing, even a monk like him was amazed.

It's just that no matter how good the relationship between the mentor and Shen Sitian is, there's no need to ask them to study after the book is published, right?Could it be that there is another talk about refining qi?

Qingfeng's mind was full of thoughts, but Zhen Qiong would puncture it with a single mouth: "It is indeed Brother Cunzhong's new book. This book has sold thousands of copies, and the manuscript fee for only one edition is 10,000+. You guys Go back and read it carefully, and write some essays later!"

Qingfeng: "..."

Mingyue: "..."

No, what our Taoist temple eats is imperial food, and we also earn money from selling elixir and lightning rods. Are we short of these 10,000+ money?

Or Mingyue thought less, just stopped and hurriedly said: "Men, how have we ever learned poetry? It's okay to take notes, but I don't know how to write..."

Zhen Qiong waved her hand generously: "Don't worry, I've read this book, and it doesn't even have a single uncommon word in it, it's like a script. You should think about it first, and I'll go to Yixue to hire a gentleman later. Help you make up your lessons. In fact, making money or not making money is still a trivial matter. How can we learn from nature and fall behind?"

A half-way monk who studies Gewu can sell so many books.He is a dignified descendant of the Good Fortune School, and he is also the master of the Grand Dao Temple of the imperial court, so he is naturally no worse than others.Zhen Qiong has already thought about it, write some by herself, let Li Gefei revise the manuscript, and then ask the apprentices to write some, as long as it can be made into a book.Later, I asked Brother Miao to print it for him. With the money, I can improve the lives of the apprentices, right?

Mingyue's face turned green in an instant. When he was in the free school, he couldn't read well, and reciting those poems and essays was even more troublesome, and he had a terrible headache.Now you don't want to learn math and want to study poetry instead?Could it be that the questions he gave Han Erlang were too difficult and he was punished?

However, Qingfeng has already regained his senses: "Teacher, many of the things in our view are forbidden to be passed on to the outside world. If the book is published, will the officials blame it?"

Zhen Qiong was obviously taken aback, but he didn't expect this.Yes, a lot of things in the view are used for the military, and some of them have to be used to make money, so it is impossible to leak them.So what is he going to write?

Pinching her chin and thinking for a while, Zhen Qiong finally said: "It's okay, we can also write something less important. For example, what kinds of minerals and elixirs are commonly used in alchemy are poisonous, and how the toxicity behaves. It must be Someone will buy it!"

Qingfeng was almost choked to death, coughed twice, and said in a low voice: "If this comes out, I'm afraid only Taoist priests will buy it, and it won't sell many copies."

Zhen Qiong frowned even more, and thought about it again: "Or write about ordinary household recipes? Use vinegar to remove scale, add alkali noodles when raising dough, test acid-base with litmus, etc.? There should be some Is there a market?"

This is really all about making money.Qingfeng couldn't laugh or cry, it seems that the general method will not work, he coughed again: "I don't know about this matter, but the master runs the newspaper, and Shen Sitian's book is also published by the old man, so it's better to go to the teacher first Ask him for his opinion?"

The enthusiasm was almost extinguished by the apprentice, Zhen Qiong said weakly: "That's all right, I'll go ask first."

How can you be careless about making money?Maybe Brother Miao has an idea?

■

"Qiong'er also wants to publish a book?" Han Miao really did not expect that Zhen Qiong would come to tell him this.Could it be that seeing Shen Kuo's books sold out of stock, he felt jealous?

Zhen Qiong nodded vigorously: "My good luck faction is no worse than Brother Shen. Now he can sell three thousand copies of a book. I heard that it will be reprinted. How can I just sit idly by? I am also a founder of the school. Of course, people who want to write books and talk about it!"

Han Miao raised his eyebrows in surprise. He thought that Zhen Qiong was eager to make money from Shen Kuo, but he didn't expect such a deep meaning.But that being said, he still shook his head: "There are too many taboos in your research, so it's not easy to publish it with great fanfare."

Not to mention gunpowder, heart-protecting pills and the like, but the principle of refining acid-base, so it is not easy to spread it to the outside world.If someone has a heart to see, the few hot items in Han's shop can be imitated immediately.

Zhen Qiong also sighed: "Isn't that right, I still want to get some home-use recipes, but they are too different from Brother Shen's essays, and they are very clichéd. I don't know if anyone will buy them..."

Han Miao was not willing to see him distressed, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "If you don't want to sell, but just want to write a book, it's not impossible."

Zhen Qiong's eyes lit up immediately: "Can you still publish books? What kind of books will you publish?"

Han Miao said with a smile: "Didn't you talk about formulas and theorems all day long? If you sort out these things and only pass them on in the Jindan family or among scholars, it might have a miraculous effect."

Although Baoying Temple is now well-known, it is still a newcomer in the entire cultivation world, and it is difficult to convince the public without the accumulation of several generations.Not to mention the inner alchemy sect, but the golden alchemy sect still has many branches, and the alchemy scriptures passed down are countless.Naturally, these people seem to be in harmony with Zhen Qiong, so it's hard to say what kind of thoughts they have about the good luck faction.It is definitely not enough to rely on Zhen Qiong alone to support a sect.

What if we spread the theory of Creation School a little bit?No details, just some theorems and formulas, such as the principles of "clearing the atmosphere from turbidity" or "gathering elements and eliminating elements" mentioned by Zhen Qiong before, can it also affect other sects?Just like "Ri Xin Bao", the sales volume has stabilized at around [-] copies. As long as it is published in the newspaper, it can be sought after, which is the benefit of wide dissemination.

What Zhen Qiong figured out on a daily basis, she didn't mean to keep it private at all, and she also told the people close to her, and even the disciples in the temple, what she said clearly.That being the case, there is nothing wrong with extending it.Subtly, there will definitely be other sects, and even scholars who like alchemy will be influenced to study the Dao of Creation and worship Baoying Guan as their respect.

Zhen Qiong's eyes lit up: "This seems to be feasible! It's like the theorems passed down by my teacher that 'all things ebb and flow, and the total amount remains the same', or 'metals can be replaced, and those with strong sex are more likely to separate out' and other theorems." There are quite a few. There are also the qi refining methods I have studied, the ratio of clean qi and turbid qi in the atmosphere, and the theory of 'replacement requires vital qi', which will definitely surprise those old Taoists of the Jindan sect!"

Just like his cheap senior brother Chi Liaozi, who lived to a great age and only made alchemy based on experience, how could he conclude any theory?If these are taken out, it will definitely shock many people!

Seeing that Zhen Qiong knew everything without any hesitation, Han Miao laughed: "Since you have the intention, you should also run a newspaper in Baoying Temple. It's not about secrets, it's just about discussing the great way. It will publish some articles from time to time. , Anyone who is interested in Dan Dao can buy it. As for manuscripts, they can also be accepted, but they need to be reviewed before they can be published. In the future, just relying on this newspaper will be enough to spread your reputation all over the world and become a master."

He knew what Zhen Qiong was thinking, and he always wanted to be a great master, or call himself a real person.It is not enough to just rely on the imperial court to grant rewards, it is best to make Baoying Temple a legitimate ancestral court of Jindan.That's the only way, no matter how the emperor changes in the future, he will not treat the descendants of Zhen Qiong's line slowly.This is the true founding of a sect, which will last forever.

He has heard of this truth!Zhen Qiong also became excited.During the Great Zhao Dynasty, any achievements made by each Taoist temple had to be reported to the court.Only those achievements that can stand the test and be recognized by the imperial court and the Taoist sects in the world can achieve the title of great master and real person.The so-called truth means that the more debated the better.It's just that now the court review has been replaced by Baoyingguan review.For this point, Zhen Qiong is very guilty. Who made his school of fortune so much better than Da Song's golden alchemy?This is not to give up who I am!

"Brother Miao is so right, I'm going back to prepare the newspaper! Well, let's call it "Theory of Good Fortune". It only talks about good fortune, nothing else!" Pie stuff too!

Seeing him happy again, Han Miao couldn't help laughing and said, "If you need anything, just tell your husband."

"Find two teachers first, and make up lessons for Qingfeng and Mingyue." Zhen Qiong didn't say anything, and dragged his apprentice into the water first, "They must also publish this "Theory of Creation", and the writing is too bad No way!"

Of course, he can also learn secretly, so as not to show timidity when writing the manuscript.But if you want to publish an article on his tabloid, you can't use those goddamn golden elixir terms.It's better to tell the story as plainly as Brother Shen, and add some data and notes to support it, so that people can't see the flaws!

The author has something to say: Daoist Zhen: Disciples, you are already mature scientific research dogs, you have to learn to write papers by yourself
