Volume 6 Ancient Doubts Chapter 489 Alchemy Furnace Source
A few people walked into the bedroom while talking.
Bai Yang walked to the bedroom window and looked out, and found that Wang Wu had already gotten up from the ground, looking at the door of the room, not knowing what was going on in his heart.
But he heard Xiang Aiguo interject and said: "I guess what Master means is that Wang Wu's master has exhausted more than 30 years, but in the end he only got the news of Gongsun Xia's confirmed death, he is afraid that he will not be happy, but will suddenly lose his enthusiasm for life, and he even doesn't know what else can be done in the future! ...... Am I right, Master?"
"That's right!" Ding Sicheng nodded, "but there is a more important reason. At that time, several brothers of Wang Wu's master, Zheng Xiangtai, followed Gongsun Xia to steal and dig Dadou, but they never came back, and even their bones were never found. Although Gongsun Xia is dead now, Zheng Xiangtai must still want to search for clues from Gongsun Xia's residence, so that the remains of several brothers can be retrieved for worship and burial. So I deliberately mentioned that I was going to go into the cellar to investigate, and with my relatively loud reputation, Zheng Xiangtai must be afraid that I would find the clue or even destroy the clue. So I decided that as long as Wang Wu went back to talk to him, he would definitely come and meet me. ”
After saying something, Poplar and others were convinced.
Just because the cellar in the bedroom had been closed, Ding Sicheng was about to squeeze in through the gap between the wooden bed and the wardrobe to activate the mechanism, when Bai Yang suddenly raised his hand and made a silent gesture.
Several people immediately understood what he had heard.
"Someone knocked on the door, and the voice was very soft!" Bai Yang said in a very low voice, quickly approaching the window and glancing into the courtyard, "That Wang Wu jumped out, it is estimated that his master is here!"
Ding Sicheng thought for a moment, and suddenly shouted loudly: "It's Master Zheng Xiangtai and Master Zheng outside, right? If Master Zheng is willing, Ding Sicheng is willing to investigate the residence of Gongsun Xia, a thief, with Master Zheng!"
He deliberately called Gongsun Xia a "thief", naturally wanting to form a common enmity with Zheng Xiangtai.
It's a pity that there was no response outside for a long time, and Bai Yang couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Do you want me to chase it out?"
Ding Sicheng shook his head, waited for a while, and finally heard a man's loud reply from outside.
"Is it really Master Ding Sicheng Ding? Zheng Xiangtai is willing to meet you!"
Ding Sicheng immediately turned around and walked out of the bedroom, walked all the way to the courtyard, and responded loudly: "The courtyard gate has been sealed by the public security, Master Zheng will wait a minute, I will ask my disciple to stand on the courtyard wall to pick you up!"
Without his need to give more instructions, the poplar had already risen and landed lightly on the courtyard wall more than two meters high.
That Wang Wu was really standing outside the courtyard wall, and beside Wang Wu, there was an old man with dark skin.
Wang Wu said that his master was only in his fifties, but the old man looked sad and wrinkled, and it was obvious that he had only cared about tracking Gongsun Xia all these years, and his life was very unsatisfactory.
It may be that seeing the poplar easily jumping onto the courtyard wall, Zheng Xiangtai showed surprise on his face.
Bai Yang bent down and stretched out his hand and said, "Please Master Zheng hold my hand, and wait until I enter the courtyard to greet Master Zheng seriously!"
Zheng Xiangtai said "There is labor", and sure enough, he reached out and grabbed one of the hands stretched out by Baiyang.
The poplar dragged hard, Zheng Xiangtai couldn't help but fly up, and couldn't help but exclaim, he felt his body fall, and he actually stood on the ground again.
It's just that the place where he stood has been transferred from outside the courtyard to inside the courtyard.
Zheng Xiangtai was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, until he let out another soft cry of "ah", and the shadow in front of him flickered, and his apprentice Wang Wu also landed firmly in front of him.
Following the poplar jumping down from the wall, like a leaf falling silently, Zheng Xiangtai finally exhaled, couldn't help arching his hand, and said: "This little brother's martial arts are really peerless, Zheng Xiangtai is really eye-opening today!"
Bai Yang hurriedly returned the salute, pointed at Ding Sicheng, and said, "This is my teacher Ding Sicheng!"
Zheng Xiangtai turned his face to Ding Sicheng, but did not speak immediately, but looked Ding Sicheng up and down slightly defensively.
Ding Sicheng smiled, arched his hand at Zheng Xiangtai first, and said: "I have admired Master Zheng's name for a long time, and today I finally have the fate to meet Master Zheng!"
Zheng Xiangtai didn't return the salute, but said coldly: "Needless to say polite words, the surname Zheng is nameless, how can you say it for a long time?"
Ding Sicheng smiled undiminishedly and said, "How can Master Zheng be said to be unknown? Thirty years ago, Master Zheng's inverted fighting faction was once famous and chased after the pioneers. Although the Gui faction later declined, Master Zheng's prestige never faded in the inverted fighting world. Twenty years ago, Master Zheng single-handedly picked up the Anhui Lu'an Gang, and ten years ago, it was a former Qin tomb, and he had a dispute with the ancient Shu Gate in Sichuan, and several masters of the ancient Shu Gate were defeated. These deeds can be said to be shocking to the inverted fighting world, I said that I have admired Master Zheng for a long time, how can it be polite words?"
Zheng Xiangtai looked at Ding Sicheng with wide eyes, and finally clasped his fists and saluted after a long time, and said: "Master Ding is really worthy of his reputation! Of course, I have never mentioned the matter between me and the Ancient Shu Gate, and the Ancient Shu Gate is even more secret, but I didn't expect Master Ding to be clear! No wonder people say that if there is a little wind and grass in the Dou Realm, they can't escape Master Ding's eyes, it seems that it is true!"
Ding Sicheng returned the salute and said with a smile: "I have won awards, I just pay more attention to these things!"
Zheng Xiangtai nodded, and then said, "Master Gangding said that he was willing to explore the residence of Gongsun Xia, an old thief, with me, but I don't know what price I need to pay?"
"I don't need Master Zheng to pay any price, it's just because Master Zheng has been tracking and searching Gongsun Xia for more than 30 years, thinking that with Master Zheng exploring together, maybe there will be more discoveries!
Zheng Xiangtai looked at Ding Sicheng again, but Ding Sicheng still looked calm.
Zheng Xiangtai finally nodded and said, "Okay, I also hope to find something in this old thief's den!"
Ding Sicheng made a gesture of invitation, and while walking into the house with Zheng Xiangtai, he asked casually: "I heard your disciple Wang Wu say that you found out that Gongsun Xia had dug up a small bucket seven or eight years ago. But I don't know what kind of small bucket it is, and who is the owner of this bucket, can Master Zheng tell me?"
"Well, it's really not a big fight!" Zheng Xiangtai replied casually, "It's just that when we arrived, the Gongsun thieves had already stolen most of the burial goods in the tomb, and I only knew that it should be the tomb of a Taoist priest in the Jin Dynasty, and the Taoist name was ...... I remember that there were a few beautiful murals in the tomb, and the paintings were full of portraits of immortals and Taoists! But I had never paid much attention to the murals, so I didn't look carefully at the reviews. ”
If the murals in the ancient tombs are seen by archaeologists, they will be overjoyed. But the murals are difficult to take away, so the vast majority of the inverted dou people are not very attentive to the murals.
Bai Yang and the others could understand this, but Zheng Xiangtai found that as soon as he said this, Ding Sicheng and several of his disciples looked at each other with a wry smile on their faces.
Zheng Xiangtai immediately asked, "I don't know what is so strange about this Taoist tomb?"
"There's nothing out of the ordinary!" Ding Sicheng shook his head with a wry smile, "Don't hide it from Master Zheng, we found a very old alchemy furnace in a cellar built by Gongsun Xia, where Gongsun Xia is hiding and has been cultivating pills. So we thought that this alchemy furnace was probably the treasure that Gongsun Xia had swallowed when he killed your senior brother. Now listening to what you say, it seems that this alchemy furnace was just stolen by Gongsun Xia from the tomb of the Taoist priest you just mentioned seven or eight years ago. ”
Zheng Xiangtai became more and more surprised, and asked again: "It is not a particularly unusual thing that the alchemy furnace was found in the ancient tomb, why does Master Ding think that this alchemy furnace is a treasure that Gongsun thief killed my senior brother and swallowed?
"Of course not!, but according to our investigation, Gongsun Xia got the alchemy furnace at the same time, but also got an alchemy cheat book, and a recipe for the elixir, all these years Gongsun Xia hid in the cellar to refine the elixir, and finally ......" Ding Sicheng suddenly changed the topic, "Does Master Zheng know how Gongsun Xia died?"
"I don't know! He's also seventy or eighty years old, and it's normal for him to suddenly fall ill and die, but it's just ...... It's too cheap, this thief!" Zheng Xiangtai said, and when he said the last few words, he naturally gritted his teeth and hated.
"It's not that he died of a sudden illness, he was poisoned by eating the so-called elixir he refined himself, he must have thought it was the elixir of longevity......"
Before Ding Sicheng finished speaking, Zheng Xiangtai couldn't help laughing, and nodded again and again while laughing: "Okay, good, great! This evil thief's death is really ridiculous! He didn't want to think about what kind of miracle medicine there really was, how could that Taoist priest in the small fight die? Gongsun evil thief did a lot of evil, and when he died, he became a big joke in the world! Good, it was really good!"
He really laughed heartily, Ding Sicheng smiled and waited for him to stop laughing, and then said: "There are very few people in the world who can break through life and death! Not to mention that the old thief of Gongsun is about to be eighty years old, and he has no children and relatives around him to take care of him, he may not have thought that the formula of the divine pill is not very useful, but he is already in his twilight years and has no way out, so he can only hope for a miracle, even if he can't live forever, it is good to be able to prolong his life a little!"
"That's good!" Zheng Xiangtai nodded again, "Although it is still cheaper for Gongsun to die like this, his evening is desolate, so I am really very happy in my heart!
Ding Sicheng was overjoyed and said, "I really want to ask Master Zheng for something!" But let's carefully survey the residence of the old thief of Gongsun first, and then talk about it slowly?"
Zheng Xiangtai was in a good mood, and he also had a good impression of Ding Sicheng, so he nodded and promised, asking Ding Sicheng to go first.
