Zheng Lao left the small building, leaving only Qi Xiang drinking tea in the living room.

"Star Chacha ......"

Qi Xiang was thoughtful, he thought carefully, and vaguely remembered that in some literary works, there seemed to be a mention of the existence of floating chacha and xingcha. It seems that it is a kind of magic ship.

Legend has it that someone once rode from Haizhu to Tianhe and met the Cowherd and Weaver Girl.

In the past, Qi Xiang regarded the record of Xingcha as the reverie of the ancients. But now, listening to what Zheng Lao meant, it seems that Xingcha really has a real thing. It's just that, like many precious things, it has been lost.

Qi Xiang would not suspect that Elder Zheng would lie, after all, in comparison, he could only be regarded as a rookie who had just come out of the rivers and lakes. Even if he has experienced a lot of things, he must not be compared with Zheng Lao, who has decades of experience in the rivers and lakes.

An old Danshi, not to mention strength, just his life experience will definitely be better than him.

But soon, Qi Xiang came back to his senses. No matter how good Xingcha is, it is no longer presented in the world, it is equivalent to a mirror and a moon in the sky, and no matter how much you mourn, it is useless.

Instead of thinking about it, it is better to pay attention to what is going on with the futon underneath.

Qi Xiang moved his buttocks and looked down at the futon underneath.

From the point of view of appearance, the futon process is very simple, and can even be described as rough. It's about forty centimeters in diameter, which isn't that big. One or two inches thick, woven in two layers, quite soft and comfortable.

However, it is such a simple thing, and there is an aura surging.

Qi Xiang was surprised in his heart, couldn't help but study it carefully, and finally easily came to a conclusion. The rattan grass that weaves this futon is definitely not an ordinary thing, it should be a spirit grass, a spirit vine and the like.

There are definitely many benefits to meditating on such a futon.

"It's exquisite, it's too exquisite."

Qi Xiang smiled, and he was also a little envious.

After all, there are only people who have "surplus wealth". will pay attention to the details of life. Like him, if he has any resources, he will use them for himself first, and strive to improve his cultivation, so how can he waste superfluous things on the enjoyment of life.

Zheng Lao is different, and is estimated to be one of the founders of the Dan Society. No matter how bad it is, he is also an early member of the Dan Society, not only has prestige, but also has more strength.

This strength. That refers to the level of alchemy.

For decades, whether it is helping others to make alchemy or alchemy for yourself, the rewards you have received are definitely a lot. After working hard for many years and having a certain status, it is a matter of course to treat yourself.

The emperors of the past dynasties, at the beginning of their accession to the throne. All of them are diligent and love the people, and want to make a career. But in his later years, he focused on enjoyment and began to become mediocre. It's not without reason. No matter how much ambition there is, in the wine pond meat forest and the beautiful and gentle countryside, it is also quickly corrupted.

Of course, Zheng Lao will not be corrupted. But the enterprising spirit is certainly not as vigorous as it was back then. Perhaps Zheng Lao himself is also very aware of this. That's why I took the initiative to take charge of the chores of the Dan Society.

It's not that we don't want to forge ahead, but that we are pinning our hopes on the next generation. He is willing to do things like preparing for the Dan meeting, logistics management, and welcoming newcomers.

Just like parents, they always want their children to be better than themselves. Blue is better than blue, hope that the son will become a dragon, hope that the daughter will become a phoenix, what you can't do, your children will always have a chance to achieve......

When Qi Xiang was thinking nonsense, Zheng Lao also walked back.

Qi Xiang hurriedly looked at it, only to see that Zheng Lao's hand was holding a palm-sized jade box. As expected, the contents of the box are naturally Biluo incense.

"Qi Daoyou, I've kept you waiting."

At this time, Zheng Lao walked over with a smile, put the jade box in front of Qi Xiang, and said softly: "Oh, this is the Biluo incense knot you want, about eight hundred years, two or two." ”

"Ah......h

Qi Xiang was surprised: "So long? ”

"It's not long."

Zheng Lao chuckled: "You open it and see if it's the right one." ”

"You keep saying that, you must be right."

Having said that, Qi Xiang couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and carefully lifted the lid of the box.

At first glance, he was also a little surprised. Because there is indeed something in the jade box. It's just that the contents of the box are a little different from what he imagined.

In his imagination, a natural treasure like Biluo Xiangjie is definitely not in bad condition. Considering that the thing is liquefied from the sap of the Biro tree, then the incense knot should be in the form of gelatinous. The blue color is transparent, and there is a peculiar fragrance.

But now, Qi Xiang looked with wide eyes, but saw the contents of the box, which was a gray-brown mass that looked like a pimple at the root of a tree. Judging from the appearance, it is completely different from the Biluo incense knot he imagined.

Fortunately, after all, he is an antique collector and knows very well that inconspicuous things are not necessarily tattered. Otherwise, there will be no frequent leaks in the collection line.

No man shall be disguised, and no sea shall be measured.

Baby, you can't just look at the outside, the inside is the key.

Therefore, in an instant, Qi Xiang immediately condensed, raised his head and asked, "Old Zheng, can I get started...... Ahem, can you pick it up and take a look? ”

"Absolutely."

Zheng Lao stretched out his hand and chuckled: "The thing was given to you, it's your thing, whatever you look at." ”

"Speaking of which, this incense knot has been in my hands for more than ten years."

When Qi Xiang reached out to take it, Zheng Lao's eyes were leisurely, full of reminiscence: "More than ten years ago, I was collecting medicine in the deep mountains and old forests in the Yunnan-Guizhou area. ”

"It is rainy in Yunnan and Guizhou, and in the mountains and forests, dead branches and rotten leaves accumulate, which is easy to produce miasma. The antidote pills I was carrying at that time were not too much, and they were quickly consumed. ”

Zheng Lao said with a smile: "There is no antidote, I also want to leave, but I am reluctant to leave." Because at that time, I walked into a valley where there were many precious medicinal herbs. ”

"That valley, I walked into by accident, has no clear reference at all. I was afraid that after I left, I would never find a specific location again. ”

"So, I decided to continue collecting medicines, and at the same time, I used the collected medicines to refine simple anti-poison medicines. On the other hand, they collect dry firewood and plan to break the miasma with fire. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Lao also had some feelings: "It's just that in the mountains and forests, the humidity is heavy, and there is a lot of fog, and it is not easy to find dry firewood." ”

"I rummaged for a long time, and finally found a rotten wood in a remote corner of the valley. The wood was dry, and there was not the slightest sign of wetness. ”

"I was so happy that without thinking, I immediately set the wood on fire......"

Suddenly, Zheng Lao smiled and said: "I didn't think about it, a string of flames, the dry wood, all of a sudden splashed with rich grease, and then there was a strange fragrance wafting......"

"When I smelled the aroma, I realized that I had accidentally found something good."

Zheng Lao picked up the tea in the hand of the machine man, took a sip lightly, and then continued: "I brought the thing back, and after studying it for a while, I realized that the thing turned out to be Biluo incense knot. ”

"At that time, I got more than a dozen catties of Biluo incense knots, but for more than ten years, some of them were given away, and some of them were used for alchemy, and there were only two or two cents left."

Zheng Lao smiled: "Now, if you want it, I'll give it to you." ”

"Zheng Lao ......"

Qi Xiang hesitated, of course he wanted something. However, if you take it like this, it seems that you owe a favor.

Now, what he hates the most is to owe others favors.

It is difficult to repay the debt of human affection.

"It's okay, take it."

Zheng Lao waved his hand and chuckled: "If you really feel that you can't go, then when you finish refining the pill, send me two more pills, even if it is compensation." ”

“…… Good! ”

Qi Xiang thought about it, and he no longer refused. He suddenly figured out that this favor should not be returned by himself. Go back and tell Jun to bear it, and let the people from Tianmen go back.

In any case, it is a good thing that Bi Luoxiang has it.

Qi Xiang was in a good mood, and pinched something like a root pimple in his hand, and immediately felt a burst of softness and a little elasticity. In this respect, things are not ordinary.

The problem is, things don't smell much, do they have to be on fire to have a fragrance?

When Qi Xiang was groaning, he heard Zheng Lao speak: "By the way, this Biluo incense knot is also a little mysterious. I studied it for several years and found out that it needs to be soaked in realgar wine to get back to its original appearance. ”

"After soaking in wine, it can be used for alchemy and medicine, and the effect is excellent!"

Zheng Lao carefully pointed out, and did not hide any secrets.

"Soaking wine?"

Qi Xiang's eyes flashed, and he said sincerely: "Thank you for your advice." ”

"It's just a small thing."

Zheng Lao smiled and said: "Actually, there are many medicinal materials and processing techniques that have been lost, so we have to explore them again." This is too labor-intensive and time-consuming, so it is necessary for Danhui to exist. ”

"When you encounter some medicinal herbs, you don't know how to deal with them, you can ask others for advice. Someone knows and will definitely tell you. If everyone is not clear, it happens to be possible to study it together, which is faster and less troublesome. ”

Zheng Lao did not forget his original intention and explained to Qi Xiang the benefits of joining the Dan Society.

"Uh-huh......"

Qi Xiang thinks that the so-called high flame of firewood is high, and teamwork is definitely better than fighting alone. He thought about it, but didn't speak, just lightly buckled the Dan furnace-like ornament on his chest, indicating his attitude.

"Good!"

At first glance, Zheng Lao smiled heartily, and then said solemnly: "Qi Daoyou, welcome to your official return!" ”

"Thank you!"

Qi Xiang smiled and asked, "I'm already a member of the Dan Society now, is there anything I need to do?" ”

"No ......"

Zheng Lao shook his head and laughed: "What you were like before, what will you do in the future." On the contrary, I will tell you the contact information of the Danhui in the future, and if you need help in the future, please contact us. ”

"You must remember that the purpose of the Dan Club is to better serve every Dan Master, not to ask or assign any task to the Dan Master......

Zheng Lao smiled: "What you have to do is to concentrate on the study of pharmacology and settle down to alchemy." Those tedious chores other than alchemy will be handled by us. ”

“…… I see! ”

Qi Xiang's heart moved, knowing that he was still in the investigation period...... (To be continued.) )
