Great Song

With Chi Liaozi as a coolie, Zhen Qiong doesn't have to stay in the Taoist temple.Simply throw the work of building the alchemy room to the other party, and go to sneak away by yourself.

Chi Liaozi was also quite moved by the fact that he was so relied on when he first came to the new Taoist temple.The alchemy room is very important to the Jindan sect, and there are naturally many things to pay attention to.However, he was really surprised when he saw the alchemy room under construction in Baoying Temple.This is too surprising!

What about the alchemy well, the location is not particular at all, and the alchemy furnace has not calculated the proper position, let alone the huge wooden barrel on the roof.What's the point of putting water on the fire, isn't it offensive?This is not over yet, what made him even more confused were the other two large smelting furnaces.An iron-making blast furnace under construction, and an open kiln that does not know what kind of refining it is, it is not alchemy at first glance.Do you still have to do some side jobs in the Taoist temple?

When Zhen Qiong returned to the Taoist Temple to inspect, he was blocked by Chi Liaozi.

"The location is not good?" Zhen Qiong was very surprised to hear Chi Liaozi's question, "Why is it not good? The Danfang is the closest to the pool, and the door is still open. In case of fire or explosion, it is very convenient to escape. Firewalls are used, and two warehouses have been repaired separately, and the flammable and non-flammable ones can be stored separately."

Chi Liaozi: "..."

What kind of orientation is this? !Alchemy pays attention to five directions and four seasons, yin and yang complement each other, just thinking about how to run after frying the furnace, is it plausible?

His face turned black, and Chi Liaozi couldn't help but said: "The old man dare not use such a pill room!"

Oh, he understands this.Zhen Qiong hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry about this. You can arrange your own alchemy room however you want. The yard is big enough to build seven or eight alchemy rooms. There will be more refining things in the future. It's better to separate them. There must be a place to teach."

There are countless people who have many problems in alchemy.Some people like to choose the location, the time, and even the furnishings in the house.This is said to increase the chances of success.Zhen Qiong doesn't really believe in this, but pays more attention to saving her life.But others believe that he will not stop.Anyway, the place of the Taoist temple is huge, and there is still a lot of maintenance fees approved by the imperial court. In addition to the kilns for steel and glass smelting, he is planning to build a few more alchemy rooms, so that the apprentices can try to refine some simple potions Well, it doesn't matter if you build a pill room specially for Chi Liaozi.

Hearing this, Chi Liaozi couldn't help being slightly startled, and soon felt emotional again.Although this trail is not very interesting, it is really good for him.Besides, people can refine so many things to offer to the emperor, maybe the sect also has some rules?

The anger in his heart subsided, Chi Liaozi nodded and said: "The old Taoist thanked the temple master first. But what are those two kilns for?"

"Of course it's steel-making and glass-making." Zhen Qiong's eyes lit up immediately, "I also specially hired a craftsman. These two furnaces will not only make alchemy, but also make some utensils in the future. They can be used by Taoist temples." , can also be taken out and sold. The officials have agreed!"

Chi Liaozi was also dumbfounded when he heard the words, why did he sell other things besides pills?Can the emperor agree?But these are all matters of the outer court, and should not have much to do with him.After pondering for a moment, Chi Liaozi still said: "Is it too philistine to sell such things? I wait for the Taoist sect to be clean, and I still want to focus on pills."

Herbal school is herbal school after all, Chi Liaozi has this idea, it is very normal.Zhen Qiong coughed: "The change of gold and stone is also the foundation of good fortune. In the future, we will always use kilns for teaching. Besides, if we research something, it will be reported to the emperor. Wouldn't it be a credit?"

"Isn't this similar to a craftsman?" Chi Liaozi frowned slightly.Huangbaishu is indeed something that Taoists will use. He has also seen glassware, and it is not bad to use.But studying this seems to deviate from the scope of Taoism?How is it different from the workshop that will be the supervisor?

"This is wrong!" Zhen Qiong immediately said, "Alchemy is like stargazing. It seems to be a simple observation, but in essence it is to explore the origin of all things. It is like a gold and stone watch. If there is no previous experiment, how can it be made? When one thing is steamed by fire and water, acid-base reaction, it becomes another thing, and the reason is the root of the Dao!"

Chi Liaozi knew Zhen Qiong's way, which was somewhat different from his own.But compared to stargazing, this is the first time I hear it.Thinking about it carefully, it seems to make sense.

"What is that gold and stone watch?" Chi Liaozi couldn't help but asked.

They are all from her own family, and Zhen Qiong can't hide it. She led people to the inner room, found a notebook, and handed it over: "This is the watch. It was researched by my ancestors. The properties of gold and stone are arranged according to the difficulty of replacement. The root cause is really fascinating."

Looking at the page he turned to, Chi Liaozi was also stunned.I saw that it was full of all kinds of gold and stones, and they were dispatched in order, and there were many of them that I didn't know at all.

Seeing the bottom at a glance, he couldn't help asking: "What are the 'nickel' in front of the copper and the 'platinum' in front of the gold?"

"Nickel is evil copper. Brother, have you ever seen nickel-nickel? It contains nickel, which is iron-friendly and magnetic. It is used in steelmaking and can prevent corrosion. Platinum is platinum, which is similar to gold in nature and white in color. It is soft and conducts heat, but its physical properties are extremely stable. Like gold, only aqua regia can melt."

"This... this..." Chi Liaozi's hand holding the note trembled.Can you still purify so many things?Nickel and platinum, at least he still has some concepts, and some others, he doesn't even recognize them at all.Such a table can be regarded as the foundation of the sect, and Zhen Qiong was not stingy about showing it to him.What a trust!

Glancing nostalgicly, Chi Liaozi put down his notes and sighed: "The Master knows and learned much better than me!"

"In the future, we will all have the alchemy room, so can we refine it by ourselves?" Zhen Qiong encouraged, "The road is hard, and we need to study it!"

Looking at the confident Xiaodao, Chi Liaozi couldn't help feeling a little excited.He nodded vigorously with some gaffes, and he said seriously: "Leave the alchemy room to me. Don't worry, the temple master, the old Taoist must work hard to complete it as soon as possible!"

Hey, this momentum is what I want!Zhen Qiong smiled with satisfaction.

With Chi Liaozi as the supervisor, the construction of Danfang really went smoothly, and it was finally completed before the end of the year.

Located in the northern suburbs, Baoying Temple occupies a much larger area than those in the inner city.The inner courtyard is divided into two layers, three courtyards with gardens, and a total of seven alchemy rooms were built.Zhen Qiong exclusively occupied four of them.Two large equipment such as alchemy furnaces and stills are placed, one is used for operating glassware on the countertop, and a special room is set aside for high-risk operations such as synthesizing acid oil.There were three alchemy rooms left, Chi Liaozi's master and apprentice were assigned to one, and there were two more rooms for Taoist boys to learn alchemy and try their hands.The blast furnace and glass kiln are placed in the corner of the courtyard, separated by rockery and shadow gates.In the future, besides alchemy, it can also produce export products such as lightning rods.

Just these, the inner courtyard is occupied by seven to eighty eight.Wing rooms, dining rooms, study rooms and quiet rooms were also built.The courtyards entered three times were all divided up.

The outer courtyard is the main hall, the side hall for receiving guests, as well as accounting rooms, warehouses and so on.They are all in the original view, and can be used with a little repair.

Knowing that the alchemy room has been repaired, Zhen Qiong excitedly brought Han Miao to visit together.

It's been a while since I've been in Tokyo, and Chi Liaozi has naturally met Han Miao, and knows that he is the Lord's best friend, so he is inevitably a little embarrassed: "The official Han is here too?"

"We need to arrange some people from the outer court, come and have a look." Han Miao replied with a smile, and then asked politely, "How do you two live here?"

not good at all.Duan Xuanshuang muttered something in his stomach.The matter of repairing the alchemy room was left to the master. He was the only disciple who came to the capital this time, so how could he watch his teacher work hard?Therefore, during this period of time, the really cumbersome things were Duan Xuanshuang running up and down.The soles of the shoes are worn down, and the eyes are black from tiredness, can it be better?

However, Duan Xuanshuang had no chance to answer in front of the master.All I could do was watch the master talking and laughing happily with the senior official Han, and they were polite again and again.Don't mention the pain in my heart.

A group of people entered the inner courtyard, Duan Xuanshuang thought they were just looking around hastily.Unexpectedly, Han Daguan could look very carefully, even the white ash on the wall of the alchemy room had to be touched with his hands to check whether it was evenly brushed.

Duan Xuanshuang's face turned green, and she followed behind obediently, not daring to make a sound.Fortunately, the supervisor was quite capable, so Han Miao looked around and only picked out two or three places that needed to be changed.

However, if he made a wrong choice, he turned his head again, and patiently said to Chi Liaozi: "This is an important place for alchemy, with fire and sourness. It's not a big mistake to be careful."

Chi Liaozi is also a person who has practiced alchemy for many years. During this period of time, he watched Zhen Qiong practice a heart-protecting alchemy, so he naturally knew the horror of the alchemy school.So he nodded happily, and didn't mean to despise him for being troublesome.

Seeing this, Han Miao also smiled and said, "Now that the alchemy room is completed, you two have worked hard. I asked someone to prepare some bedding and washing utensils, and I invite you to accept them. If you need anything, just mention it."

Most of the money given by the court is still spent on house repairs.How could these everyday things be any better?But Han Miao was different. He was the owner of the Han family's perfume shop, and he didn't know how much it would cost just for daily use.Bedding, clothes and even incense are also picked up.

Looking at those things, Duan Xuanshuang swallowed his saliva.When he was in Changchun Guan, he had never used such a good thing.Daguan Han is really more considerate than that little uncle.Although the kaleidoscope I received before is not cheap, how can it be so practical?

Duan Xuanshuang was thinking about it when he suddenly saw Daguan Han turned his face away, and smiled at him, "Daoist Duan has really worked hard these days. Your master and Ling Xiaozi are both busy people, so I'm afraid I'll have to bother you in the future. What's the matter?" The matter, the steward of the outer court is reliable, just look for him more."

He smiled slightly apologetically, but also with some anticipation, presumably he knew who was working behind the scenes these days.Duan Xuanshuang was moved to the point of tears, and nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Mr. Han, the boy is not talented, and he will take good care of the inner courtyard, so that master and uncle can make alchemy with peace of mind!"

Han Miao also nodded in satisfaction.After this kid arrived at Baoying Temple, he became obsessed with it and ordered those who repaired the house to pile up a mountain of things for him.It's one thing to test your ability and mind, but more importantly, Xiaodao at this age should do more things, so don't go to Qionger's side if you have nothing to do.

Now it seems that he is a hardworking and hardworking person, and he doesn't have too many complicated thoughts.It's just right to be a big brother.Of course, to Zhen Qiong, he is a nephew who can do whatever he wants.What are you afraid of if you are inferior in seniority.

Unexpectedly, it was only two sentences, but Zhen Qiong seemed a little impatient.Coughed, and said to Chi Liaozi: "Brother has worked hard these two days, let's go down with nephew to rest first. Let's start the furnace to make alchemy tomorrow."

Chi Liaozi is also getting old, he is really tired these days.Since the temple master spoke, he was not polite, so he took his disciples down to rest generously.

Seeing the people leave, Zhen Qiong grabbed Han Miao's sleeves: "Brother Miao is only talking, didn't you look at the decorations in this room?"

Han Miao raised his eyebrows, and there was more interest on his lips.What's going on here?Do you get jealous when you see me talking to people?

Smiling and hugging him in his arms, he said softly: "Qiong'er arranges it, no matter what. As a good housekeeper, I naturally want to help you win over your colleagues."

This is not what Zhen Qiong cares about!He broke out with a whimper, and walked quickly to the inner wall, and coughed meaningfully: "Brother Miao, didn't you really notice any difference?"

what is the difference?Han Miao was also a little dazed, and carefully looked at the display over there.Didn't put anything unusual?It's just a narrow table, two chairs, and no calligraphy or painting... Wait, there seems to be something wrong with that table.It is narrower than the ordinary square table, but it is much shorter than the piano case, and it is also very thick. It should be specially customized.

Walking to the table, he touched the side lightly, and there was a small drawer.Pull the ring, open the drawer, and a small box of bottles and jars appears in front of you.Also, it looks familiar...

Han Miao's eyebrows flew up to his temples: "Qiong'er's preparation is really sufficient."

What is the purpose of putting these in the alchemy room?No, who do you want to use it with?

Zhen Qiong sensed the sour taste in Han Miao's mouth, and couldn't help but chuckled: "This is my alchemy room, and it's in the back of the courtyard. Brother Miao doesn't like it?"

Turning his head to look at the path, Han Miao stretched out his hand, picked him up, and put him on the narrow table: "Because you are the master of the temple, do you start to bully others?"

It was too close, Zhen Qiong couldn't help leaning back, and licked her lips with the tip of her red tongue: "I've been thinking about it for a long time, and the window behind you can still see the yard behind, how exciting!"

Without turning his head, Han Miao also knew that there was a window behind him.There is no glass, only some flowers are carved, which can breathe, and you can see the scenery of the courtyard outside.Now the cold wind is bleak, the shaded greenery is less, and the mountains and rocks in the distance can still be vaguely seen.

It is indeed an exciting place to have an affair.

Han Miao couldn't help laughing, and leaned close to Zhen Qiong's lips with a smile, and lightly bit his wet lips: "It's too unsafe for the Lord to act like this..."

"My Taoism, who dares not accept it?" Zhen Qiong wrapped her arms around Han Miao's neck and bit back.

There was a burst of rustling, accompanied by light laughter.After a while, the slender fingers hung down, flicked lightly in the open drawer, and took something.The solid wooden table creaked between the squeezes, and the rich aroma of the fat spread out.
