"Lord, ...... your head?" Sun Lu said worriedly as he looked at Zhu Gaoxu's head.

Zhu Gaoxu reached out and touched it nonchalantly and said, "Come on, how is Master Pan?"

Seeing this, Sun Lu didn't dare to say more and bowed down: "Pan Tianshi entered the Danfang early this morning to practice Dan, saying that it was for the prince to prolong his life, and he was waiting outside the door, but when he heard two rumbling sounds, Pan Tianshi's alchemy room collapsed, and then a burst of smoke rushed out of the Dan room, and the lowly office couldn't see the situation clearly, so he came to inform the prince?"

When Zhu Gaoxu heard that this elixir was refined for himself, his heart was hot, and he couldn't care about dignity and said, "Quick, take this king to have a look?"

"Yes!" Sun Lu answered and took the lead out of the room, and Zhu Gaoxu immediately followed.

Dan is a dosage form of traditional Chinese medicine, and many prescriptions in ancient and modern times are called "Dan" to show miracles, such as Tianwang Buxin Dan, Zhibao Dan, Shanhai Dan and so on. These prescriptions, mainly formulated from animal and plant medicines, are no different from Dan in the original sense, but only borrow the name "Dan". Alchemy, also known as Wai Dan Huang Bai Shu, or Jin Dan Shu, referred to as "Wai Dan", began in the middle of the Warring States period and became popular after the Qin and Han dynasties, but the real alchemy originated from Qin Shi Huang.

Throughout his life, Qin Shi Huang had crazy fantasies about the magic of immortals.

According to the "Historical Records", when Qin Shi Huang was in his twenties, he became obsessed with elixirs and "real human arts". In order to achieve the purpose of cultivating immortals, under the instigation of alchemy alchemist Lu Sheng and others, Qin Shi Huang even moved the palace into the Xianyang underground palace, staying in it without leaving home, while reviewing the chapters, while "leading" the immortals, and not allowing outsiders to disturb. Such records left a lot in the history books, it is said that he took mercury as the river, lake and sea of the mausoleum palace, and it is likely to imply that he was convinced until his death, Dansha mercury has magical magic to help him continue to rule this "eternal" country after his death, since the first queen of Qin, alchemy has always been happy by the emperor's family, the most enthusiastic about alchemy is Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Western Han Dynasty, he summoned more than 1,000 people in his palace to practice Jindan and perform special functions, and later compiled "Huainanzi", as well as "Huainan Wanbishu" and other works, but unfortunately " The book Wanbi Shu is now lost.

Liu An, the king of Huainan, was later killed for rebellion, and Liu Xiang got a secretary for refining gold when he copied the home of the king of Huainan, so he went to the trial himself, but he was unsuccessful. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che is Liu An's nephew, and he is also keen on the strange performances and alchemy of Fang Shi, he summoned many people with special functions into the palace, and when the performance was successful, he was named a general, and even married the princess, but once the scam was revealed, he was immediately pulled out and beheaded. However, alchemy did not decline because of this, but continued to grow because of the enthusiasm of Emperor Qin and Han Wu.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei Boyang compiled a work on alchemy "Shen Tong Deed", which is a theoretical work that studied and summarized a large number of alchemy books of predecessors "Six Hundred Chapters of Fire Records", Wei Boyang divided substances into two categories, yin and yang, and proposed that to produce new substances, yin and yang must be coordinated, and similar substances will not be combined together. He also pointed out that if "the medicine is not of the same species, the division of the dosage is uneven, and the discipline is lost", then it will be "flying turtles and snakes, and becoming more and more perverse", which is actually the explosion in the process of alchemy (this is the prelude to the invention of gunpowder by alchemists) , but the people at that time did not understand, coupled with the subsequent Ge Hong era, the story of the elixir continued to attract many emperors, such as Wei Daowu Emperor Tuoba Jue set up an immortal fang in Beijing to refine medicine, Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao summoned Wei Wenxiu to ask Fang Shi Jindan and ordered people to visit the immortals in the mountains, Xu Jian Caiying alchemy for Emperor Xiaowen to make Jindan, to achieve the "longevity method", for a time alchemy was extremely prosperous, after the development of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Song and Yuan Dynasties, there were alchemy masters Ge Hong left "Hug Puzi Inner Chapter" and "Hug Puzi Outer Chapter". The "Inner Chapter" talks about the Tao of Immortals, and the "Outer Chapter" talks about Confucianism, which embodies his idea of "the foundation of Confucianism and the end of Confucianism", which made the emperors of later generations more and more obsessed with alchemy.

Pan Tianshi's alchemy room was located in a manor on the west side of the palace, because the alchemy was extremely mysterious and strange in the cultivation activities or processes. If you think that the choice of Dan place should be in the famous mountain and scenic spot that is inaccessible and there are immortals, otherwise "the evil spirit can enter, and the medicine will not succeed." "When the tripod is opened, the warlock must fast and clean the crown, kneel to hold the medicine furnace, face the south and pray to the heavens of the avenue; And so on, all of which are filled with extremely strong superstitions. In addition, alchemy also has a lot of unknown dangers, although it is in the palace alchemy, the location of the Dan room is the outermost, just a few tile houses, when Zhu Gaoxu heard the sound and rushed over, the roof of one of the three tile houses collapsed a large piece, and thick smoke continued to come out of it, Zhu Gaoxu and Sun Lu knew each other, and hurriedly rushed in.

"The prince is a daughter, you can't be in danger, let the humble position take a look first?" In front of the door of the house, Sun Lu stood in front of Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the collapsed house, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay?"

Sun Lu rushed in, brushed away the smoke, smelled a pungent smell of medicine, pinched his nose and looked around, and saw the Dan furnace, Danding, Shuihai, pomegranate jar, sweet snail, mercury extractor, Hua Chi, grinder, silk sieve, horsetail Luo, etc. sprinkled all over the ground, but the top cover of the gourd Dan furnace was gone, leaving only a gourd body, and thick smoke was constantly coming out of the gourd body.

Sun Lu didn't have a good impression of alchemy, for fear that it would be a little unfortunate to stay longer, so he shouted twice, but there was no movement, and he was about to turn around and leave, but at this time he heard a slight moan, which was not loud, but at this time there was a quiet around, and he could hear it clearly.

"Pan Tianshi......?"

Sun Lu shouted cautiously, and the voice snorted indistinctly.

Sun Lu boldly followed the groaning sound, but saw the collapse of the house, where a gourd lid was lying leaning, and there was a person lying underneath, and by the sunlight shining in, the person's face was dark, his clothes were burned a lot, and he didn't move where he was lying, and he didn't know if he heard the sound, so he opened a pair of dark eyes, turned around, and struggled a few times.

"Pan Tianshi......?"

In Zhu Gaoxu's study, Pan Tianshi, who had been in a coma for a full day, woke up slowly, and the officials of the palace who heard the movement all appeared here, according to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the palace was only one level lower than the Son of Heaven, and there were many officials in the palace.

Hearing the movement, Zhu Gaoxu just glanced up, and did not move his body, he is the king of Han, every move must be in line with face, Pan Tianshi is just a heavenly master in the house, if he is too enthusiastic, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among others, but now is an important period, and there can be no chaos.

The rest of the officials saw that King Han didn't move, and it was not easy to come forward to say anything, but the two disciples of Pan Tianshi, seeing him wake up, rushed to the bed with a happy face, pulled Pan Tianshi's palm and said: "Master, your old man is fine, but I scared us to death, you said you were going, how about letting the apprentice?"

Pan Tianshi didn't seem to wake up yet, but he glanced at everyone blankly and said, "I, why am I here?"

His apprentice hurriedly said, "Master, don't you really remember?"

Pan Tianshi thought hard and muttered: "For the sake of the teacher, I recently recited the "Jindan" chapter in Ge Tianshi's "Baopuzi Inner Chapter", and after careful research, I found that there is a method of "fire alchemy" in Ge Tianshi's book, which includes: calcining (long-term high-temperature heating), refining (heating of dry substances), moxibustion (partial baking), melting (melting), pumping (distillation), flying (also called sheng, that is, sublimation), and excellent (heating to denature the substance) to practice better pills, so I want to try it as a teacher?"

Ge Hongnai was a great pharmacist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and at the age of 16 he began to read Confucian classics such as "The Book of Filial Piety", "Analects", "Poems", and "Yi". Self-proclaimed: Less good magic, negative steps, not afraid of danger. Every time I hear something different, I think I am happy. Although I saw the laughter, I didn't think it was a relative. Later, he learned the secret art of alchemy from Zheng Yin, and he was quite respected. It is said that "there are more than 50 disciples, only the rest of them have seen the scriptures of Jindan and the "Three Emperors' Inner Text" and "The Five Elements in the Pillow", and the rest of the people are not allowed to look at the first topic of this book". Then he taught Bao Liang, followed the cultivation of Taoism, won Bao Liang's respect, and married his daughter Bao Gu. In the second year of Jianxing, he returned to his hometown and lived in seclusion in the mountains to continue to engage in the creation of "Hug Puzi". The book is divided into two parts: internal and external. The inner part of 20 volumes discusses the immortal prescriptions, health and longevity, and the evil and the evil, and summarizes the immortal prescriptions before the Jin Dynasty, including the practice of keeping one, practicing qi, guiding, etc., and accumulates valuable information for medicine; the outer part of the 50 volumes discusses the gains and losses of the world, and the affairs of the world, and expounds its social and political views. The book links the theory of immortal Taoism with the Confucian Compendium and the Changming Religion, and is the first to integrate the two philosophical ideologies of Confucianism and Taoism. The advent of "Hug Puzi" had a profound impact on the development of Taoism. In particular, in the "Jindan" and "Huangbai" chapters in the "Inner Chapter of Baopuzi", a large number of ancient Dan Sutras and Danfa are recorded, outlining the historical outline of ancient Chinese alchemy, which has been respected by alchemists throughout the ages.

"Since Master Ge Tianshi has this method, it must be very reasonable, why does the master make such a wolf?" The eldest disciple is very favored by Master Pan Tianshi on weekdays, and his words are also bolder.
