Wen Jia's question was more direct. However, Bai Lao's answer was ambiguous.

"It's nothing, I recently got an ancient book by chance, which talks about some alchemy, I think it's worth studying, and the historical data is of great value."

Bai Lao said, raising his hand to the assistant.

The assistant immediately walked into the study and came out with a wooden plate, in which there was a pair of white gloves and a thin thread-bound booklet.

Only then did Tang Yi understand that the news of Hong Bo's death was just a reason!

Bai Lao definitely expected Wen Jia to come, and he was already ready to ask Wen Jia about this!

Otherwise, Hong Bo's matter can be completely called by the assistant.

Since Bai Lao's body suddenly became ill, it was forgivable not to meet.

However, whether this Bai Lao is interested in the historical value of this ancient book or the art of alchemy is still inconclusive.

The assistant placed the wooden plate on the coffee table.

Wen Jia nodded and brought gloves.

This is a manuscript with only a four-character small seal title on the cover: Huadan Dayao.

After opening it, the font inside is a line letter, and there are also more scribbled places, which are considered grass, but in general, it is easier to recognize.

There is only the title and content of the book, there is no author and writing time.

Tang Yi didn't follow, just took a closer look at the paper and ink, this manuscript should be something from the Yuan Dynasty.

When Wen Jia was in time, Bai Lao shook off the folding fan and fanned it gently, "You two are here today, this thing is also worth discussing, Tang Yi, you can also refer to it, what age is this ancient book." ”

"This is something from the Yuan Dynasty, Bai Lao must have been there a long time ago, but the manuscript is different from the engraved version, and the origin is complicated, I'm afraid it's hard to say."

Tang Yi smiled, pointed to Bai Lao's folding fan and said, "Who can this folding fan come from." ”

The folding fan waved by Bai Lao, facing Tang Yi's side, is the last four sentences of a five-word lawyer: a bottle of wine with bamboo leaves, pomegranate flowers***, you might as well hold on to the cane and go to the white clouds.

This poem was written by a person named Cheng Zhun in the Song Dynasty, called "Leaving the Title of the Mountain and Stopping the Fang".

The first four sentences are: After the rain breaks the yellow plum, before the autumn wheat is ripe.

Occasionally, with the Golden Horse, visit Yulongquan.

Cheng Zhun was a poet of the Song Dynasty and was not very famous.

However, this poem is really well written, especially the last two lines: "You might as well hold on to the cane and go to the white clouds"

It is often quoted, and the mentality of idle clouds and wild cranes is often quoted, including many people who are lustful, and it is also used to pretend.

"I mainly like this poem, and when I get old, I really appreciate the artistic conception in it."

Bai Lao nodded and said, "This is inscribed by Mr. Wu Hufan, with your eyesight, it must be able to do it at a glance." ”

The title of this poem is "Lake Sail"

, from the calligraphy to the door.

And whether it is fan bones or paper and ink, they are all things during the Republic of China.

Wu Hufan is a very legendary figure, not only a master of calligraphy and painting, but also an appraisal of everyone, as mentioned earlier, the half volume of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" "Leftover Mountain Map" was identified and acquired by him.

In the thirties and forties of the last century, in the appraisal world, Wu Hufan had "one eye"

The title shows the authority of the high.

In terms of calligraphy and painting, he also has many names, and he is the "Four Masters of the Sea"

One of them, and Wu Zishen, Wu Zhiqiu, Feng Chaoran, is known as "Three Wu and One Feng"

, and Zhang Daqian also has "Southern Wu and Northern Zhang"

reputation.

It is said that Zhang Daqian once said that in the painting world at that time, he only admired two and a half people, one of whom was Wu Hufan, one was Pu Xinji, and half was Xie Zhiliu.

"The price of Mr. Wu Hufan's works has been rising, and it reached more than 300,000 square feet three years ago."

Tang Yi said with a smile, "The key is that he has a special status in the hearts of people who play with the ancients." ”

"There's another side!"

Bai Lao flipped the fan and painted landscapes.

The thatched huts on the peaks, the pomegranate stone platform, the white clouds in the distance, and the bubbling mountain springs in the near distance are exactly the scenes described in the poem.

Needless to say, this is also Wu Hufan's handiwork.

"Wonderful!"

Tang Yi nodded again and again, "I have never heard that Mr. Wu has such a work handed down, although this folding fan is small, it is really rare!" ”

"You like it so much, I'm going to send you!"

Bai Lao closed the folding fan.

"How does this work?"

Tang Yi waved his hand again and again.

Bai Lao was about to speak, but Wen Jia put down the ancient book and said, "Bai Lao, the alchemy of this book is written very smoothly, and there is nothing difficult to understand. What are you? ”

Wen Jia asked very cleverly, which means, is it possible that you want to cultivate?

If you don't want to cultivate, as long as you can do it, there is no need to delve into the rights and wrongs and feasibility of alchemy.

"The origin of this book is unknown, but it says that you can refine the outer pill first, and after swallowing it, it will turn into the inner pill, and eventually you can even live forever. Have you ever heard of that? I think, is this a new discovery in the study of the history of Taoism? ”

Bai Lao replied very cleverly.

Wen Jia smiled, and this time the answer was very direct, "I really haven't heard of this kind of alchemy, but there doesn't seem to be any loopholes." ”

"Oh?"

Old Bai moved, "Since you haven't heard of it, how can you determine that there are no loopholes?" ”

Wen Jiabai Lao, "Didn't you say that the principle of things is the same? ”

Bai Lao seemed to realize that he seemed to be a little anxious at this time, and coughed, "Since there is such a seemingly feasible method, but there is no similar faction, it is most likely only mastered by a few people, and it was later lost." ”

Wen Jia's eyes rolled inadvertently, pointed to the ancient book and said, "It may not be lost." Because in this, there is a raw material for refining pills, and it is difficult to determine what it is. So, even if it works, it's possible that no one will succeed. ”

Bai Lao said, "Although the raw materials of this book are expensive, some are weird, and some are in short supply, there is nothing that is literally unheard of. ”

Wen Jia waved her hand, "It's because it's not secluded, so it's easy to make mistakes." It's this 'Heavenly Decay'. ”

"Oh? What does this mean? Generally speaking, doesn't Tianqi refer to women's menstruation? ”

"There is indeed this explanation, a woman is debilitated in 27 days, and she is exhausted in 77 days. However, Tianqi not only refers to women's menstruation, but also refers to men's essence: men are twenty-eight days old, and eight or eight days are exhausted. ”

Wen Jia explained, "More importantly, in this book, Tianqi does not refer to women's menstrual affairs or men's essence. ”

On Bai Lao's face, there was a surprise that he couldn't help but have, "What do you say?" ”

"The method of refining the outer pill, from beginning to end, is to pay attention to the way of balance, except for the raw material of 'Tianqi', the others can achieve the balance of yin and yang, it is impossible that only this one cannot achieve balance. Moreover, since the outer dan must be internalized, the outer dan must also be balanced by yin and yang, otherwise after entering the inner pill, not only can it not be internalized, but it will cause abnormal changes. ”
