Chapter 71 University Monk vs Alchemist

?

Recommended reading: In a corner of Yecheng, in the yard where the big explosion occurred, Yuwen Wen was standing by and watching with interest at a Taoist boy in front of him. He had a big head, big eyes, and small body, and was like an alien.

"Qingfeng, come and help me pick up things." The Taoist priest Niu Nose shouted. He walked around in the yard in a mess, bent over and picked up something from time to time.

et... The little Taoist responded when he heard this, then ran over to help his master clean up the mess. Seeing the little guy swaying, Yuwen Wen was really worried that his neck could not bear the weight of his head, so he suddenly shook it.

He moved his gaze away from the little Taoist boy, looked at a wooden box beside him, which contained the remains of an alchemy furnace. According to the Taoist Magistrate Niuzi, the alchemy furnace was as big as a rice jar, but now it turned into pieces of scrap copper and rotten iron.

There are only three men in the yard, Yuwen Wen and the master and apprentice, and there are a circle of soldiers outside the yard. It is strictly forbidden for onlookers to enter and watch. However, in order to avoid overshadowing the truth, it is claimed that Taoist priests are refining alchemy to disturb the people. Now the government is assisting the Taoist priests to "move".

However, some people expressed dissatisfaction; "My yard was rented to this old Taoist priest for less than five days. Now, why are there any big news? I have broken many things in the yard. Now I can move it and there is no compensation..."

"You said this yard belongs to you, but what certificates do you have?"

"Oh, neighbors can testify, isn't there any more Li Zheng?"

"Don't make a noise when you are accustomed to the money!" said a soldier, using the money to send the unlucky landlord away.

Yuwen Wen listened to the movement outside, looked at the master and apprentice in the hospital, and couldn't help but shake his head: Taoist Master Liu is really a veteran of "flying and committing crimes".

Just now in the Qiu Guanfu Prison, he was about to teach him how to be a human being, but the matter was prioritized. Yuwen Wen decided to clean up the mess first and then "discuss the truth" when the situation stabilized, so he brought the magnificent Taoist back to pick up things.

The Taoist priest Niu Nose claims that he is 43 years old this year and does not know where he is from. After being picked up by his master, he followed his surname. Because he was picked up by Taoist priest Liu under the poplar trees on the roadside, he got his name Liu Yang. He became a Taoist boy and followed his master to refine alchemy. His parents had never seen him.

As time passed, Liu Daotong also became Taoist Priest Liu. Old Taoist Priest Liu drove away, so he continued to refine alchemy and adopted an abandoned baby, which is the current Taoist Priest Liu, also known as "Qingfeng".

Master Liu did not have a Taoist temple, so Master Liu naturally did not have a Taoist temple either. Anyway, he could refine alchemy everywhere, so for decades, Master Liu has been wandering around, mainly near cities with rich resources, making it convenient to collect various alchemy materials.

Yecheng was the capital of Qi, and its products were rich and powerful. Not only were the alchemy materials easy to find, but it was also convenient to find a job to support himself. Therefore, Master Liu and his younger disciple settled in a village outside Yecheng.

A few days ago, Master Liu found a dilapidated alchemy furnace at Yecheng Market. After buying it, he felt it was difficult to carry it. He and his apprentice could not carry it, and he was unwilling to hire laborers to carry it out of the city. After tidying up the calculations, he thought it would be more cost-effective to refine alchemy on the spot in the city, so he rented the yard.

Today, he collected the materials according to the elixir recipe he had conceived, set up the alchemy furnace in the yard and made a fire. Something happened soon. The sudden explosion was quite terrifying. It was also a blessing that Master Liu went back to his room to get things, while Qingfeng went outside the city to pick up firewood, and he escaped the disaster.

Seeing the neighbors around and watching, Master Liu saw the yard in a mess and was worried that the landlord would be caught and wanted to pay for it, he hurried out and ran out. He ran towards him when he ran up to the crowd of people who were traitors who were guilty and turned around and ran away.

As a result, he ran into Yuwen Wen in Taoist robe. He mistakenly thought he was a "Taoist fellow" and wanted to "run together", but the two were arrested together.

Qingfeng, who went out to pick up firewood, came back. Qingfeng, who was of master's character, had no scheming. When he saw a group of people pointing around the yard, he didn't think about anything and wanted to "go home". As a result, he was caught by the angry landlord, but was controlled by the soldiers who followed him.

Later, Yuwen Wen brought Liu Yang back to clean up the mess and brought Qingfeng back. Seeing the garbage all over the yard, he was a little impatient, so he asked Liu Yang to pack up the important things and then called the soldiers to clean up the mess. The other party's treasures that were no different from the rag were loaded and transported away.

"Justice Liu said that he had been practicing alchemy for decades, and wanted to be proficient in alchemy techniques?" Yuwen Wen began to raise the topic and then wanted to teach the other party to "be a human being".

"I dare not be proficient, but I have quite some experience." Liu Yang replied with his beard twisted, feeling quite complacent. Seeing this, Yuwen Wen sneered in his heart and continued to ask: "I think the Taoist priest has read "Baopuzi"?"

"Is the inner or outer chapter what I asked?"

"Of course it's the inner chapter, but I heard that Bao Puzi said, 'Cinnabar burns into mercury, and then it becomes cinnabar'. I wonder if this is the case?"

"This is true, and I have seen this phenomenon when I was refining alchemy."

"I don't know how to explain this phenomenon?" Yuwen Wen pressed step by step.

"This has to be converted from the five elements..."

"This is a fallacy!" Yu Wen Wen suddenly interrupted the other party, and he came to a wake-up call without caring about the misconduct. "Cinsha is mercury sulfide. After heating, the reduction reaction occurs, and the sulfur escapes and remains mercury, which is mercury. The oxidation reaction of mercury plus sulfur occurs, which is mercury sulfide. It is black at first, but then turns red, which is cinnabar."

Liu Yang almost pulled off his beard. He looked at Yuwen Wen as if he was looking at a ghost. He seemed to be able to understand every word the other party said, but he could basically not understand it when it was connected.

Sulfur draws mercury? It also reflects the roundness? It reflects the admiration? What is that? What are you talking about?

His mouth opened and closed, trying to say something but couldn't say it. If the other party was talking about alchemy, he would naturally have the confidence to refute it, but now it is inconceivable and he doesn't know where to start if he wants to refute it.

"Mr. I just said that sulfur is painted with mercury, and I don't know where to start with the reverent words?"

Yuwen Wen glanced at Liu Yang. He saw the expression of the other party just now, and could not tell that it was a suspicious thing about the time traveler, so he continued: "The Taoist master is quite proficient in elixir refining? I wonder what kind of elixir he is practicing?"

When it comes to alchemy, Master Liu immediately became energetic and did not bother with the terms he had just made. He said that Bao Puzi's nine elixirs had been tried, and he didn't know which one he wanted to know.

Yuwen Wen only knew that Bao Puzi was Ge Hong, a famous Taoist priest in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but he didn't know what the Jiudan was, so he humbly asked for advice: "Nine Dans only heard of its name, so the Taoist priest might as well explain it one or two?"

"The "Baopuzi Nei Pian" says that the Nine Pills are the key to immortality, which is not something that ordinary people should see..." Liu Yang began to talk, without seeing the stupid and cute appearance in the prison at all.

He said that the first elixir of the Nine Pills was called "Danhua". He should first make Xuanhuang, and use realgar water, alum stone water, Rong salt, brine salt, Yushi, oyster, red stone fat, talc, and Hu powder each. It is considered to be the six-one mud, and the fire will be completed on the thirty-sixth day, and the seven-day immortal will be taken.

I also used Xuanbao Pills to place it on a fierce fire and it became gold in a moment. I lit it with 240 zhu combined with 100 jin of mercury to make it a barbecue, and it also became gold. If the gold is made, the medicine will be completed. If the gold is not completed, then seal the medicine and continue to be roasted on the fire. The number of days required is as many as before, and it will eventually be refined.

The second pill is called the divine talisman. After taking it, it becomes an immortal one hundred days after taking it. After that, you can walk in water and fire. Use this pill to apply it to the soles of your feet and walk on the water. After taking it, you can dissolve and necrotize the three corpse gods and nine insects. All diseases can be cured.

The third pill is called the Divine Pill. After taking one sword, you will become an immortal after one hundred days. If you swallow the six animals, you will be immortal and immortal. You will also be inseparable from swords and guns. After taking one hundred days, the immortals, jade girls, mountains, rivers, ghosts and gods all come to serve and turn into human forms.

The fourth elixir is called Returning the elixir. Take a sword and a sword, and become an immortal after one hundred days. The vermilion bird and phoenix fly above the head, and the jade girl also comes to her side. Mix one sword and a pound of mercury, grill it with fire, and make it into gold.

If you apply this pill to money, you can return to your master on the same day even after using it. If you apply this pill to the eyes of mortals, you can avoid it.

The fifth pill is called bait pill. After taking it for thirty days, it becomes an immortal. Ghosts and gods come to serve, and the jade girl comes to the front.

The sixth elixir is called alchemy. After taking it for ten days, it becomes an immortal. It is mixed with mercury and then grilled with fire, which also becomes gold.

The seventh elixir is called Rou Dan. Take Yidao Gui and become an immortal after one hundred days. After mixing with basin juice, the ninety-year-old man can also give birth to a child. Mix it with Jin Gong and grill it with fire to make gold.

The eighth elixir is called Fudan. You will become an immortal on the day you take it. Hold the pills of jujube pits in your hands, and hundreds of ghosts avoid it. Write the pills on the portal. The evil spirits dare not come forward, and they can also avoid the thieves, tigers and wolves.

The ninth elixir is called Han Dan. If you take a sword, you will become an immortal in a hundred days. The fairy child and fairy come to serve, fly and move easily without using wings.

"You only need to practice one of these nine elixirs to become immortals. After taking them, you can also ascend to heaven, stay in the human world, or go in and out of the two realms, freely coming and going." Liu Yang said.

‘So many names, it sounds very powerful. In fact, the things that have been refined, such as mercury and lead, have seriously exceeded the standard. If you take them, you will become mentally disabled and have chronic poisoning, and if you suffer from severe cases, you will die directly...’ Yuwen Wen complained in his heart that as a person who has received modern education, he naturally does not believe in immortal pills.

The serious alchemist in front of him is undoubtedly the kind who has decades of experience in alchemy. Many of the nouns he mentioned are different from those in later generations. Yuwen Wen didn't understand it very well. In addition to knowing that "daogui" is a tool for measuring drugs and "Jin Gong" is lead, some nouns are completely unaware of what they refer to.

But it doesn't matter. He has a trick. The reason why he asked the other party to say so much is to refute it so that it is worthless and to destroy its "three views".

"Has the nine elixirs mentioned by the Taoist priest been refined into one or two?" Yuwen Wen asked nonsense.

"Shame, I have no high understanding and have never mastered a single one so far."

"Master Taoist, Bao Puzi said so many mistakes. If you haven't learned secret techniques, why not you should learn some secret methods?"

"What secret method has your husband learned?" Liu Yang became interested when he heard this, as if a hungry man had seen a cooked cake, his eyes glowing at Yuwen Wen.

"This method is different from the Central Plains alchemy, and is called chemistry..." Yu Wenwen entered a state of recollection and began to recall the few other first- and high school chemistry knowledge left. "If you want to learn this method, you must be a monk."

"If you have to be a monk after learning this 'chemistry'?" Liu Yang was surprised when he heard this.
