ps: The second is to ask for a monthly pass, please support more, please.

In the secret room, there is not much in fact, it is just a large cabinet.

In the drawers in the cabinet, there are precious Chinese medicinal materials that are densely divided and stored. What kind of ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, He Wu and the like, just like ordinary Chinese cabbage, are stacked in small boxes.

Of course, Qi Xiang also knows that these precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum can only be said to be of good quality, but they are far inferior to the century-old wild ginseng of Changbai Mountain that Jun gave him. However, as auxiliary medicinal materials for alchemy, these Chinese medicinal materials are also competent enough.

Qi Xiang carefully inspected these medicinal materials, nodded with satisfaction, and then turned around and asked, "What about the main medicine?" ”

"...... here"

Jun Bu walked to the side of the medicine cabinet, and he didn't know where he pressed it, but he saw a crack in the middle of the medicine cabinet, and a black gap appeared.

Jun lived up to his hand in the gap and carefully held out a jar. The jar was pitch black, and as if it could absorb light, the light shone through, and no light was refracted at all.

If it weren't for the gentleman holding it with both hands, there would be a wheel corridor with an altar. I'm afraid that at first glance, Qi Xiang thought that the jar was invisible, and Jun was playing with the air.

At the right time, Jun Bu put the jar on the table next to him, then took a step back and said softly: "Master, this is the main medicine of alchemy, please appreciate it!" ”

Qi Xiang looked solemn, walked over slowly, and then reached out and touched the altar lightly. At this moment, he felt a chilling chill surging through his fingertips.

"Awesome ......"

The pain of the needle prick made Qi Xiang pull his hand as if he was electrocuted, and sighed sincerely: "The one in the altar is the cold spring water?" ”

"That's right, the water of the cold spring for ten thousand years."

Jun nodded heavily, and said truthfully: "I have been searching in the Tianshan Mountains for more than three months. Only under the guidance of a master found a cold spring that was almost exhausted, and then retrieved this jar of water. ”

"Not bad. Not bad, very good. Qi Xiang praised again and again. Even through the altar, he could sense the cold aura contained in the cold spring, as well as the wisps of aura.

"By the way, what else is there?"

Qi Xiang paused, and then continued to ask: "That thing is also the key. Without it, this Dan can't be refined. ”

Jun Bu hurriedly said: "Master, something else." also in the jar. ”

"Huh?" Qi Xiang was stunned, then thought of something, and suddenly smiled: "Not bad, there are brains." Two things can be regarded as complementary to each other, and when they are put together, they can just nourish each other. ”

"I also need someone to guide me to do this." Jun Bu asked, "Master, do you want to open the altar to see?" ”

"Forget it...... Qi Xiang waved his hand and said, "Don't look at it, you should know it anyway." The quality of the main medicine determines the success or failure of the elixir, and it must not be fooled casually. ”

"Still. Even if the main drug and auxiliary drugs are complete, there is still a key medium missing. ”

Qi Xiang groaned: "If there is no such medium, my certainty of the success of alchemy is only fifty percent. If you have that media price, then it can be increased to eighty percent. ”

Jun was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what medium are you talking about?" ”

"A nether, a nether. A place surrounded by yin energy. Qi Xiang said in a deep voice: "Alchemy in a place where the yin qi is strong can increase the chance of becoming a pill. ”

"What?" Jun was stunned for a moment: "Yin Land? ”

"What is the underworld?"

Jun Bu is a little incomprehensible. Or maybe I understand a little, but I'm not so sure.

"Hmm. How to say it......" Qi Xiang thought for a while before explaining: "Similar to the mountain outside Luoyang City, it is the real Yin Land. ”

"Bishan?" Jun Bucheng seemed to be taken aback, of course he knew very well what kind of existence Bishan was.

Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, died and buried in the north, this is a widely spread proverb. It can be said that since the Eastern Han Dynasty, Bishan has become the place of choice for the death and burial of emperors and magnates of all dynasties.

From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the present, it has a history of at least two thousand years. In the past two thousand years, the tombs buried on the mountain are probably similar to the stars in the sky, and there are countless of them, and they can't be sorted out at all.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were many tombs in Bishan, and it also became the subject of repeated songs by poets. Throughout the Tang Dynasty poems, poems about Bishan can be said to abound.

The ancients said that a person was poor, and it was customary to describe it as a place without a cone. However, when there are many graves in the metaphor of Pishan, the word used is almost no lying cow, which is also a fact to some extent.

Don't talk about lying on the cow, as long as you walk around the mountain, no one dares to guarantee that there is no ancient tomb of the previous dynasty under the ground under your feet. There are many graves, and it is not unusual to call them the underworld.

"Master, do you have to do alchemy in the mountains?"

is clear about the situation in Bishan, so Jun is surprised and puzzled, and can't help asking: "Why?" ”

"Because this Dan is weird."

Qi Xiang said bluntly: "Although I don't know what kind of Dan this is, judging from the attributes of the Dan Fang, it should be related to the Yin God, which seems to have the effect of nourishing the soul, nourishing the Yin, and replenishing the spirit. ”

"Ahem!"

Jun lived up to his silence and suddenly fell silent.

Qi Xiang didn't mean to explore, and said to himself: "Refining such an elixir is also very important for the choice of environment. If the environment is similar to the properties of the elixir, the success rate will definitely increase. ”

"Hey, after all, we are still unprofessional Dan masters."

Qi Xiang suddenly shook his head and sighed: "It's better to think about ancient times, the ancient Dan masters, especially the alchemists who served in the palace, once they decided to open the furnace for alchemy, naturally someone would visit the famous mountains and rivers all over the country under the guise of the Son of Heaven, and find the most suitable location, and immediately someone would build the attic of the Dan Palace and hoard medicinal materials for him to squander......

Qi Xiang expressed envy, and then said some secret news: "Do you know why there are always alchemy relics such as Taishang Laojun, Ge Xianweng, and Medicine King in the famous mountains and rivers all over the country?"

Qi Xiang said with a smile: "In fact, most of those relics were done by alchemists of previous dynasties, and after they refined the Dan, in order to completely cover up the traces in them, they simply pretended to be ghosts and ......."

"No, it should be called pretending to be a god and making immortals, pretending to be immortals such as Tianzun Dao Ancestor to go down to earth, and then preach it among the people, attracting many pious believers to bow and worship, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."

Qi Xiang is not talking about the river, these secrets, that is the personal experience of the people of Shui Yuesan. Back then, the people of Shuiyue Sanren personally participated in such a god-making operation, and they must have a deep understanding.

After chatting a few digressions, Qi Xiang got back to the point: "All in all, Bishan is not only a yin land, but also a gathering place for Luoyang's feng shui and luck, and alchemy in that place has some benefits. ”

"But ......"

Jun lived up to his sudden realization, but also hesitated a little and said: "There are many people who go to Bishan every day to visit and play, and there are many management agencies on the mountain, and we are afraid that we can't hide the alchemy on the mountain." ”

"It's okay, I checked the information, and now the mountain is actually very big."

Qi Xiang said with a smile: "In the real sense, Pishan should start from the north of Luoyang City, stretch along the south bank of the Yellow River to Zhengzhou, with a length of at least more than 100 kilometers, but only the tributaries of the Yellow River north of Luoyang and the watershed of the Luohe River are densely covered with a large number of graves. ”

"Most of the management agencies you mentioned, as well as tourists and the like, are visiting this area."

Qi Xiang said confidently: "As for us, as long as we look for a relatively remote valley along the mountain range, stay in the valley in secrecy for ten days and half a month, and quietly alchemize, as long as we don't make a big move, no one should be able to detect it." ”

"Good ......"

Jun Buyi nodded immediately: "I'll call someone to explore the terrain." ”

"No need to call someone, we'll go by ourselves."

Qi Xiang stretched out his hand to stop it, and said dutifully: "The place that others are looking for may not be to our liking, so it is better for us to come by ourselves." ”

Jun Bubu had no opinion, and after assisting Qi Xiang in sorting out the medicinal materials, he left the secret room.

Early the next morning, Jun repelled a group of big men to follow, drove away from the city in person, and then descended from the remote suburbs and entered the mountain from another direction.

Qi Xiang walked up slowly from a small hillside, only to see that the nearby mountains were a little desolate, not much vegetation covered, and it seemed a little depressed.

It seems that in ancient times, the grass and trees in the mountains were very lush, and the trees were dense and green like clouds. The powerful officials living in Luoyang City, as well as the common people, all like to go to the mountain to play.

But now, the vegetation is much scarcer, and there is bare/exposed soil everywhere.

Qi Xiang stepped on the soil slope by homeopathy, and the soil under the surface of the ground is cohesive, and the soil is hard and compact, which is indeed very suitable for burial.

Looking around the desolate hillside, Qi Xiang maliciously guessed that for thousands of years, the big trees in the mountain had been cut down and used to make coffins, so it was so bleak.

Jun Buyi didn't seem to be a stranger to this place, and casually pointed his finger: "Master, there are protected ancient tombs." ”

Qi Xiang glanced at it and nodded slightly.

As a practitioner in the antique industry, he naturally understands that wherever there are large tombs, the trend of tomb robbery must be very rampant. Especially in Chang'an, Luoyang and other ancient famous capitals, there are a large number of dignitaries and nobles buried in the past dynasties.

This also means that immeasurable funerary goods are buried in various kofun tombs.

People die for money, and birds die for food, which is an unbreakable principle. For thousands of years, the ancient tomb of Luoyang has not been stolen many times, so that ten rooms and nine are empty, and the mountain is filled with many robbery holes.

This is also why, from time to time, there is always news from time to time that a place has suddenly collapsed and so on.

For the sake of archaeological research, or for the sake of safety, it is necessary to set up a special institution to protect these valuable tombs from further damage.

Of course, compared with the hundreds of thousands of ancient tombs on the mountain, only a very small part of the protection is equivalent to a drop in the bucket, and the symbolism is greater than the actual effect.

No matter how strict the management is and how hard the crackdown is, as long as it is profitable, the trend of tomb robbery will definitely not stop repeatedly...... (To be continued)
