Chapter 183: The Law of Water Refining
ps: In the last few days of the month, everyone has a monthly pass, don't keep it, please support a lot, please, please.
The war was about to break out, Qi Xiang didn't say a word, turned around and left, hiding far away, ready to watch the excitement.
"Humph!"
However, after only a moment of confrontation, the two glared at each other as if they had a tacit understanding, then put away their things and parted ways. Jun carried the long sword into the canyon, and the imperial mansion returned to the cliff cave with the jade pendant.
"Why don't you fight?"
Qi Xiang was a little disappointed, thinking that he could enjoy a peak duel.
"Alas, anticlimactic!"
Qi Xiang sighed and followed into the canyon. At this moment, a group of big men have begun to build tents, build bricks and stoves, and set up camp.
Seeing Qi Xiang coming, Jun Buying also greeted him: "Master, where do you think the Dan furnace is more appropriate?" ”
"Don't worry, I'll talk about this later."
Qi Xiang waved his hand and asked curiously, "Just now, why did you stop?" ”
“…… I can't figure out his strength, and he has concerns. Jun lived up to the truth and said: "If you really fight, you may lose both." It's not good for everyone, so just don't fight. ”
"A smart move."
Qi Xiang expressed his approval: "Remember, our purpose is alchemy, not to provoke trouble. Endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky. As long as he doesn't come to disturb me, we won't pay attention to him, and everyone will be safe and sound. ”
"Good ......"
Jun nodded and continued to ask, "Master, where do you think the Dan furnace should be placed?" ”
"Uh......"
Qi Xiang was convinced, looked left and right, and pointed to the middle of the canyon, and signaled: "There, the flattest position, put the Dan furnace there." Then put up a tent and put it around. ”
"Understood."
Jun left in a hurry, busy and busy, and did a hot job.
Qi Xiang watched from the side, feeling embarrassed, and wanted to go up to help, but was blocked back. In desperation, he had to take a walk in the mountains to alleviate his guilt?
Speaking of which, the mountainous terrain in the valley is also a bit strange.
A mountain peak in the middle. It's not very tall, and it bulges like a big bun. On both sides of the big buns, there are continuous mountains with peaks like screens, sandwiching the canyon in the middle.
That's why the canyon doesn't see sunlight all year round, and then the yin energy gathers.
Qi Xiang thought about it, turned around the mountain and came down, the camp was also set up, and he began to cook on the fire. In the light of the raging fire. The camp was also a little more angry, dispelling some of the icy chills.
The whole camp is a bit of a strong and weak branch.
In the center of the camp is an oversized tent. Around this great tent, small tents were scattered one after another, like stars holding the moon and guarding around the big tent.
The largest tent. It is the place where the Dan furnace is placed.
Qi Xiang walked in, only to see a few pots of charcoal fire in the four corners of the tent. Warm the tent like spring. The floor is covered with a very soft wool carpet, which is really warm and comfortable.
In addition, in the center of the tent, there is a Dan furnace.
This Dan furnace, the shape is somewhat different from Qi Xiang's Dan furnace, it is a low cylinder, the three legs are short, standing at the bottom. The ears are like rings, buckled on both sides of the large round belly, the round lid is hollowed, and there are seven small holes arranged according to the shape of the Big Dipper.
Qi Xiang approached to observe, and saw a sliding door in the belly of the Dan furnace, so he opened it easily.
In the belly of the Dan furnace, it has its own Qiankun, which is divided into two layers of structure. The upper layer is where the alchemy is located, and the lower layer is the stove where the fire is burned.
Whether it is an alchemy space or a stove for burning fire, the structure is carefully designed to ensure the maximum combustion of the charcoal fire, and also to make the medicinal materials heat evenly and boiling and condense to the greatest extent.
"Dan furnace is good." Qi Xiang looked at it, and then he praised it, and then shook his head and said, "But I also said before, refining this Dan actually doesn't need a Dan furnace." ”
"Why?" Jun was surprised and suspicious.
"Because refining this pill, you can't use fire to refine the Fa." Qi Xiang said bluntly: "It can only be refined!" ”
"Water refining?" Jun was stunned: "How to refine water?" ”
"This, confidential!"
Qi Xiang smiled, and then explained: "In fact, the method of water refining has existed in ancient times, but the method is relatively biased, and there are not many people who have mastered this technology. ”
"Generally speaking, the fire method of alchemy is enough to deal with the vast majority of pills, and there is no need to use the method of water refining. However, this elixir is different and can only be refined by the water method. ”
Qi Xiang said softly: "Because the attributes of this Dan are feminine and feminine, it is an extreme path, and in the process of refining, it cannot be mixed with the slightest fire, and it is best to refine it with water." ”
"Or conversely, the formation of this Danfang itself is tailor-made for the method of water refining."
Qi Xiang glanced at it and said with a smile: "You don't know why, when you try to make your own alchemy, you don't miss the furnace, right?" ”
“…… Master, eyes like torches! ”
Jun lived up to the shock, but also convinced: "You are right, before this, we tried to refine the Dan two or three times, but after putting the medicinal materials into the furnace, not long after the furnace was burned, the Dan furnace immediately exploded......"
"We haven't been able to figure out what's going on."
Jun did not live up to the bitter smile and sighed: "Now I know, it turns out that there is no way to refine it." ”
"That's why it's not easy to make alchemy."
Qi Xiang stretched out his hand and touched the Dan furnace, then turned around and said very seriously: "Even if it is a water refining method, the success rate is not high. Again, you can't blame me if unfortunately it fails. ”
"This is natural." Jun nodded heavily: "Alchemy is risky, failure is failure, master, you just use it, you don't need to have any worries." ”
Jun lived up to his tone and was very sincere, even if he failed again, it was within his tolerance. Moreover, knowing that there was this water refining method, he had already been greatly surprised, and he felt that it was definitely a wise move to invite Qi Xiang to come to alchemy.
That's the difference between a professional and a non-professional.
Jun was very emotional, and said in high spirits: "Master, you command, what do you need us to do?" ”
"First of all...... Boil water. Qi Xiang said casually: "Pour two-thirds of the water in the Dan furnace and boil it until it boils." ”
"Huh?" Jun was stunned: "It's not to say. Don't you need fire? ”
"It's the process of alchemy, no fire, no pre-preparation, no fire." Qi Xiang rolled his eyes: "When the water is boiled, pour the auxiliary medicine into it and soak it, and wait for the hot water to cool naturally." ”
"In this process, the medicinal properties of the medicinal herbs naturally and slowly seep out."
Qi Xiang explained: "The steps are like this, just make a cauldron, and you can do it." That's why I said, there is not much difference between having a Dan furnace and not having a Dan furnace. ”
"Understood." Jun didn't blush a little, and hurriedly lowered his head and walked out quickly.
After a while, several big men walked in, poured buckets of water into the Dan furnace, and then took high-quality pine wood and lit it, and slowly burned it. Golden? Colored flames rose, and a large amount of grease gushed. The tent was immediately filled with a faint scent of pine.
Waiting until the water in the furnace was boiling, under Qi Xiang's instructions, Jun Buyi and the others hurriedly sprinkled bags of medicinal materials into the furnace and then covered the furnace lid. Simmer over low heat.
Simmering, to put it bluntly, is to let the stove have a certain amount of heat, but not too strong. Careful heat control is required. Although this kind of thing is cumbersome, ordinary people can also do it, and naturally Qi Xiang does not need to keep an eye on it all the time.
At this time. The sun had already set, and the canyon was getting colder and colder in the dark night. The only good thing is that there is no wind blowing in due to the surrounding mountains as a barrier.
Without the help of the cold wind, everyone can resist this coldness.
Moreover, in the camp, piles of bonfires were also lit. Everyone is close to the fire, drinking hot tea, and then eating some barbecue by the way to warm up the body and stomach, which is more comfortable.
The smell of meat is overflowing, but there is no wine.
If in normal times, a group of big men want to drink to help the fun, you will not take care of it, but now it is strictly forbidden.
Because......
"Ding!"
On the ground, Jun did not live up to his backhand wave, and with a touch of snow-white sword light, he carried an unstoppable momentum and slashed towards the grass next to him. Before the blade arrived, the sword qi was already criss-crossed, like lightning flashing.
"Huh!"
Between the grass, a black shadow rose up into the sky, and Wow Wow shouted: "Hey, didn't you say that you want to invite me to eat barbecue, and it is not the way of hospitality to cut people without asking for indiscriminate questioning." ”
"Humph!"
Jun put away his sword and said coldly: "This is what you should do when dealing with sneaky and ill-intentioned people." ”
The person who came was naturally the imperial house, and he said with a grin: "What a sneak, I walked in openly, okay." ”
Jun lived up to his voice, and his brows immediately frowned: "My people, aren't they guarding outside the canyon, what happened to them?" ”
"I didn't do anything to them, but they were cold, and they were busy burning the fire to keep warm, and they didn't notice me walking in." Otaku grinned, and was not polite, walked to the fire, picked up a string of chicken wings and nibbled on it.
"Go see them ......"
Jun didn't look back, but also a little angry. A few big men next to him also understood that the boss was in an unhappy mood, so they didn't dare to say a word at the moment, so they ran to check the situation.
At this time, the imperial house was gnawing on chicken wings, and his eyes were sneaking around, and then he approached Qi Xiang and asked in a low voice, "Hey, brother, let's discuss." Tell me, what the hell are you doing? ”
"Barbecue." Qi Xiang smiled and said, "Aren't you eating now?" ”
"Cut, don't say it, I'll ...... go"
As soon as the otaku threw the chicken bones, the whole person disappeared into the nearby grass and disappeared in an instant. If you don't run, you can't do it, he has already seen a group of Jun Buful's subordinates, and quietly surrounded them all over the camp.
If he doesn't leave, he will become the turtle in the urn, and it will be difficult to fly with wings.
“…… Bastard! ”
Jun lived up to the flickering gaze and proposed, "Master, the existence of this person has always been a scourge. Otherwise, tomorrow I will bring someone over to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and solve this trouble? ”
"Whatever you ......want" Qi Xiang didn't care, and then smiled: "However, if he deliberately hides, you may not be able to find his traces......" (To be continued......)
