Great Song

Originally, Zhen Qiong planned to post a poster on "Ri Xin Bao" like Shen Kuo to promote her new issue.But Chi Liaozi resolutely disagreed, saying that in this way, many people who admired the name of "True Thunder Thunder" believed in it, and bought the town house privately. Wouldn't it delay the promotion of the Dao of Creation?Zhen Qiong thinks about the same reasoning. Shen Kuo used a pseudonym and sold [-] copies by relying on his real talents and learning. He can't sell books based on his false name!

So after the two discussed it, they put "Theory of Good Fortune" in the front yard of Baoying Temple, and sold it together with things like elixirs, lightning rods, and alcohol.

This method is very low-key, but the name of Mr. Tongxuan is really famous in Tokyo.The pills sold in Taoist temples have attracted the attention of many Taoist priests.A book popped up out of nowhere. Although it was a bit ridiculously expensive and the name was a big boast, it didn't seem very reliable, but many people were still attracted to it.But these people are afraid that there are mysteries in the book, and they don't want to make a big fanfare to let others know.As a result, for a period of time, those Xiaodao boys who came to buy alcohol all mentioned this book, and they were sneaky when they bought it, like a thief.

Such a deliberate cover-up really had some effect.Almost everyone in the Taoist temples in Tokyo has a copy of "Theory of Creation", and this new book is not well-known in the market.Zhen Qiong waited for several days, and found that the book had sold more than [-] copies, which did not mean that it was sold out at all, so she was a little disappointed.I had no choice but to comfort myself, good fortune is more mysterious than things after all, and the essays I wrote are so profound and reasonable, not everyone can understand them, right?

Unexpectedly, just as Zhen Qiong let go of this matter and was about to re-enter the great cause of alchemy, "On Good Fortune" suddenly became famous.

It's not that his three articles have attracted praise, but Chi Liaozi's "Pathogen Theory" has attracted criticism.Baoying Temple sells heart-protecting pills and alcohol, so there are quite a lot of doctors who come to buy medicines.A few of them also discovered "Theory of Good Fortune" and bought it home to read it out of curiosity, but they were irritated by Chi Liaozi's article.

This "Pathogen Theory" does not adopt the words in the medical classics, nor does it follow the principles of Yin-Yang and Five Elements or the correspondence between heaven and man. Instead, it expounds the understanding of various diseases based on the microscopic Gu discovered by the microscope.

The disease caused by fine Gu has recently been accepted by the people in Tokyo.Boil water for drinking, wash your hands before meals, and deliver both.Even some people who suffered trauma began to apply alcohol to prevent the wound from festering.However, it has never been possible to attribute all diseases to fine gu.

What's more terrible is that Chi Liaozi's bizarre article was accompanied by a lot of illustrations, drawing all kinds of small Gu he had seen, which looked creepy but also somewhat believable.However, there are not many types of fine gu that have been found so far. Chi Liaozi also bluntly stated in the article that the cause of other diseases is unknown, not because it has nothing to do with fine gu, but because it may be too small to be observed by a microscope.

This statement is too shocking.If all diseases are cured because of Gu, then what is the use of form to complement form?What is the regulation of yin and yang?All medical treatment has become a way of attack, without the help of the emperor and ministers, without the five luck and six qi, even the doctors are almost on the verge of moving.How can you not be angry when you see such "heresy" doctors?

But the problem is that Chi Liaozi is not a doctor, but a Taoist priest.Therefore, the angry doctors could only criticize him verbally, denouncing him for talking about pathology, but they didn't even dare to use the elixir for alcohol and Baoyingguan.After all, these things can really save people, if it is involved, it will appear that my medical skills are not good, and it is a piece of nonsense.

How old is Chi Liaozi, how can he care about these things.And he has not opened his mouth to refute, so some people can't help but become interested in the "Theory of Creation" and bought it for a look.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, all the educated people are dumbfounded.Then Mr. Tongxuan is too careless, isn't he?When talking about scriptures and Taoism, only a few people talk about Taoism, and they don't even involve the changes of Yin and Yang. Instead, they talk about things like "all things change and change, and the total amount remains unchanged".He also cited many examples and drew a picture of a glass dish for demonstration.The simplest one is the principle that ice turns into water, water turns into gas, gas condenses into water, and water turns back into ice.It is said in the book that everything can be turned into Qi, and Qi generates everything. From this point, the theory of atmosphere is derived.

Who doesn't know the truth that carbon gas is harmful?However, there has never been a detailed elucidation of the contents of vital gas, carbon gas, and inert gas in the atmosphere.Not to mention the fact that plants absorb carbon gas, humans and animals absorb vitality, and this cycle can only be endless.Of course, this also uses a lot of examples, there are numbers, descriptions and drawings, not only it looks clear at a glance, but if you are interested, you can repeat the experiment at home according to the gourd painting.

As for the last theory of gold and stone, it is not as fascinating as the previous two articles.However, the statement that "metals can be replaced, and those with strong sex are more likely to precipitate" still made everyone suddenly realize.It turns out that "Huangbaishu" is the truth!Those Taoist priests who cheat money are just deceiving the world!

But again, these things are completely different from what the Alchemy Sutra says. Those scholars who love alchemy will inevitably be confused, and they only hope that some Jindan family will come forward and refute one or two.But I don't know whether it's because I'm afraid of the name of "True Thunder King", or there is some truth in what is said in the article, all the Taoist gates in Tokyo City are quiet, and no one jumped out to "speak out".

Rather, it was written at the end of "Theory of Good Fortune" that contributions could be made, which made the mailboxes standing in front of Baoying Temple full.Not many real Taoist priests came to submit articles, but a group of scholars who were keen on alchemy sent random letters, which was annoying to watch.

"This is not even as good as Mingyue's article, and you dare to submit it?!" After flipping through two articles, Zhen Qiong became angry.What about influencing Daomen?What if you agreed to control Dan Dao?Isn't this kind of shit a waste of his time?

Chi Liaozi was very big-hearted, and persuaded: "What you wrote is the general outline of the school of fortune, which is too esoteric. The real Jindan sect will have to ponder for a while before daring to raise any objections. In the next few issues, I am afraid that only Our manuscript can be used."

"Then we can't let them send these rubbish!" Zhen Qiong almost wanted to burn all these things with a fire.Does he look idle?Look at these things, might as well go back to sleep!

Chi Liaozi coughed, but gave an idea: "Although these essays are mostly rubble, we must guard against any leftover gems in them. Since Xuanshuang and the others also want to write essays, it is better to hand them all the letters, and let them first They selected them. They can not only sharpen their eyesight, but also learn the way of composition. When they see that they are useful, they will present them to us for review."

Duan Xuanshuang: "..."

No, teacher, I am not idle either!There are more than a dozen copies of this letter every day, even if he and Qingfeng Mingyue don't eat or sleep, they can't read it, right?

Zhen Qiong didn't care about the earthy looks on the faces of his apprentices and nephews, and nodded very simply, and then said bitterly: "Actually, let me tell you, we have to send a Taoist boy to guard in front of the mailbox. Pay three hundred papers. If you don’t use it, the three hundred papers will not be refunded, and if you accept it, you will be compensated for the manuscript fee. In this way, the idlers who have nothing to do will leave!”

Isn't this too philistine?Chi Liaozi couldn't help laughing: "The main purpose of our newspaper is to communicate with our colleagues, so it's not good to do it like this. Whether the Creation School can lead the Jindan sect in the future depends on this newspaper, so let's be more generous."

When Zhen Qiong heard this, she gave up.Fortunately, he didn't torment his apprentices to death, and asked Han Miao to find a reviewer from the newspaper office. He first eliminated those who did not say the Fa, and then gave them to his disciples for review.As a result, not only the three introductory disciples Qingfeng, Mingyue, and Duan Xuanshuang, but even the newly recruited fire-burning boys followed suit to review the manuscripts.These people don't dislike too much work, and they are all very happy.So Qingfeng looked at them with a hint of sympathy.It is a pleasure to throw away other people's manuscripts, and you should regret it when you write your own in the future.

Of course, in addition to these idlers, there are also people who are interested in the new issue of "Theory of Creation".

"Ling Xiaozi's article is really unique, and there are so many accompanying pictures, which is really enviable!" Shen Kuo came to the door and praised him again and again.

These words made Zhen Qiong very happy, and coughed reservedly, he said: "It's not as good as Brother Cunzhong's book sells more. My thousand copies have just been sold out, and I'm still waiting for reprinting."

Although the number of copies is not enough, his manuscript fee does not need to be divided!Brother Miao has already said that all he needs to do is pay the engraving money, and let him keep the rest.Calculated in this way, he earns not much less than Shen Kuo!

Shen Kuo couldn't help laughing at this blatant show off: "In the future, if I get something, I can publish it in your newspapers first. "Ri Xin Bao" is too simple and obvious, and it is not easy to publish more profound things."

Zhen Qiong shook her head vigorously when she heard the words: "You are studying Gewu, and my newspaper is specially designed for the Good Fortune faction. I'm afraid it's inappropriate?"

Shen Kuo raised his eyebrows: "How did I hear that Imperial Physician Qian also submitted a manuscript for you, saying that he would publish an article about suction tube therapy?"

"Hey, that's medicine. My senior brother is in alchemy, so it's inevitable that he will be involved in practicing medicine. Imperial physician Qian also wrote a good essay, which is just for use." Zhen Qiong said hastily.

This is actually a mistake.When Qian Yi saw their "On Good Fortune", he was astonished.So he came up with the idea of ​​publishing his research on suction tubes in the past year in the newspaper.Just now, doctors all over Tokyo are clamoring that Chi Liaozi is a mediocre Taoist priest who doesn't know medical skills at all.Then Qian Yi, the master physician who invented midwifery and lived thousands of lives, must not be unaware of medical skills, right?Even writing something completely irrelevant can have an astonishing impact on public opinion.It was precisely because of this that Chi Liaozi readily agreed to the other party's submission.

How could Shen Kuo not understand the twists and turns?However, he doesn't want his own research to be excluded: "Isn't my research also a great way? How can there be any distinction between good fortune and the study of things? As long as you are ingenious, you can make a list. In the future, things in astronomy and water conservancy, I think I can also do it." Take it away. In this way, the momentum of "On Creation" will be even more astonishing."

Is this the truth?Why does it sound a bit weird?Zhen Qiong hesitated for a while, and finally groaned: "I don't review other things!"

"Why do Ling Xiaozi bother with such trivial matters?" Shen Kuo immediately said happily when he saw that he was loose, "Not to mention astronomy and water conservancy, but even geography and calculations. I can also help with the trial. Brother Zirong, too It can help. There are too many manuscripts, so we can send out a few more issues, so that you two are not the only ones writing manuscripts."

The first edition alone earned 20 yuan, and it will definitely be reprinted. It should not be a big problem to earn a million yuan.If it can be made into a monthly magazine, wouldn't it make more money?Zhen Qiong quickly made a calculation in her mind, and immediately nodded in response.

Anyway, this newspaper is called "Theory of Creation", and it was published by Baoying. Are you afraid of being robbed of the limelight?If you have money and don't make money, you are stupid!
