Chapter 259: Difficult
Ancient monks used 61 pieces of clay to make alchemy furnaces.
The recipe for these 61 slurries has long been incomplete and has been debated for a hundred years without accurate data. Therefore, Zhang Jintong is right. Unless there is still treasure, there will be only this sacred furnace in the world.
"The traces of the thatched hut outside the cave are said to have been left by the ancestors, but I don't know if it's true or not. The water of this waterfall can be used for alchemy, so you can rest assured. Oh, are you two staying here or coming back with me?" asked the veteran.
"Thank God for let's stay here first. Wen Gu said.
"Well, I'll bring some supplies and dinner later, and luggage for two people. I will come back tomorrow. ”
Zhang Jintong said, "Wipe your body, jump out of the cave, and don't go down the mountain." He knows the rules of the rivers and lakes, and alchemy is a very hidden thing. If outsiders peeked, he would have been killed on the spot.
Today's Shitianfu still retains some alchemy, such as the pills that Zhang Shouyang gave to Lu Yuanqing. But they used ordinary pill furnaces, and the pills were not grades, they were nothing more than some powerful life-saving medicines or tonics.
However, Shitiangong had never used this kind of stove because it was not strong enough to even open.
At this moment, Wen Gu and Xiaozhai were surrounded by the Dan furnace. Seeing that they were stupid and clumsy, and their appearance was black and black, like a thick layer of charcoal powder, they had no way to start at the moment.
"Let's take it apart first, and then clean it?" Wen Gu suddenly proposed.
"Well, you're strong, come on. Xiaozhai took two steps back.
Roar.
Wen Gu didn't bother to spit out this sentence. I have a lot of strength, but you're obviously too dirty!" He shook his head, rolled up his cuffs, grabbed the top orb, used three forces, and twisted it.
Well?
I didn't move.
With another five-point effort and another twist, he only heard a "quack" and the top of the tower loosened slightly.
Wen Gu was very surprised, so he held it vigorously, "Bang!" With a huge rumbling sound, the top of the tower was finally unloaded. He looked at a strange large container, called the "Sea of Water", which was used to cool down.
The seawater was dismantled, and underneath it was a suspended crucible for placing herbs and stones. It hangs in the stove with a red stove underneath to make a fire.
He took out a total of four pieces, which felt a little laborious, but pretended to be tired, and said, "I'm done eating, you can wash it." ”
"Oops, stingy man!"
Xiaozhai despised him very much. He stretched out his right hand and put the two fingers together. He shouted, "Water!"
"Wow!"
As the words fell, I saw the waterfall hanging upside down like the Milky Way. It was cut off out of thin air. It's like cutting off one half with scissors and the other half disappears completely. Two seconds later, the waterfall recovers and cascades down.
In front of her vanity, a large balloon of water suddenly appeared.
This water balloon seems to be alive, slowly wrapping around the four parts, and then, like a self-disciplined slime, it goes up and down greasy cooing.
Roar.
Wen Gu looked a little disgusted and said, "Why don't you stay silent and have to shout?"
"Pretend you can control the water!"
Xiao Zhai's natural reaction was to see the water balloon gradually turn from transparent to black and gray, and the two fingers were put together: "Come on!"
The black ball disappeared in an instant, appeared outside the cave in an instant, hit a black rain, and poured into the mountain forest.
“......“
Wen Gu didn't want to talk to her, he only looked at the four parts, and this expression was immediately amazing.
The treasure, which has been covered in dust for a thousand years, reveals its true character. When the charcoal layer fades, a quaint color that looks like gold but not like gold, stone but not like stone, and earth but not like soil appears.
"This is what the Divine Furnace looks like. I have wronged you. ”
Gucci was very happy and carefully assembled. The big man went there, and it was as thick as a mountain.
After all this, it was already dark.
The four disciples of the Heavenly Master Dao picked up many things and quickly climbed up the mountain. Zhang Jintong is very considerate. He had everything from tent and lodging bedding to food bowls and chopsticks, flashlights and steamlights for lighting, charcoal for fires.
Wen Gu and Xiaozhai set up a tent outside the cave. Instead of continuing, they close their eyes and meditate to tune in to their energy.
You know, in ancient times, monks had to fast, wear crowns, cover the road, kneel down and hold the medicine stove, pray for the Buddha on the road, and then enter the mountain. The time should be on the auspicious day of the first month (March or September), the altar should be built with burning seal characters, and the furnace should be equipped with ancient mirrors and swords, etc.
Some may be psychological comfort, and some may be genuinely useful.
They didn't set it on purpose, but just in time for March, they also picked a good day, tomorrow.
......
The next day, morning light.
Gucci practiced all night. At this time, he did not stop, swallowing and spitting. He was eating the breath of the sunrise. At first, Yang Xue completely jumped out of the horizon, dispelling the faint white mist in the mountains. Only then did he get up and feel energized.
The small village on the opposite side also opened its eyes, the same luster flowed, and China was restrained.
The two eyes touched and the foot stepped on, and Qi Qi jumped into the hole.
Gu Xi opened the box and took out an evil elixir. The grade of the evil pill is lower than that of Lianxing Shen Yidan. It's best to try your hand first.
After a long period of experimentation, Taoist alchemy has developed a systematic approach, including flying, lifting, pumping, prostrating, illuminating, closing, nourishing, boiling, refining, forging, grinding, sealing, etc.
Each requires a close coordination of mental strength, spiritual knowledge, skills, and temperature. Any carelessness can waste a piece of material.
There is a proverb in "Zhu Xuan Jingxin Road": To Xie Dan, half of the material is ground into small pieces, and two pieces are packed in a bag and packed in a coarse cloth bag. Half of the material is dried in the shade, boiled in water, and the cloth bag is hung on a tripod. Add water often. After two or three days, the cloth bag becomes lighter and the juice thickens. Cook until 4-5 days, the medicine is already in the juice, take the cloth bag, boil it again, add the red pill, form a red pill embryo, collect it immediately.
When adding fire, it means adding 6 taels of charcoal every day at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
Isn't Jane brief? Brief. No way. Try.
Wen Gu put the materials into the tripod, hung the cloth bag, and covered the top of the tower. The small village added charcoal to make a fire. In the blink of an eye, the inside of the stove turned red and the heat rose.
The two men then sat on opposite sides of the table, their hearts stretched out, watching the situation.
"Goo-toot!"
"Goo-toot!"
Originally a plant-based material, soaked in water for cooking, this material quickly becomes soft and rotten. Water also takes on strange reds, greens, yellows, and blacks.
The hanging cloth bag was quickly soaked with steam, wet and soft.
The waiting time is usually long. Luckily, the two of them weren't bored when they practiced. At noon, Zhang Jintong came once and saw the fireworks in the cave. He did not dare to go in and stood for a while before leaving.
In this way, the two of them added charcoal and water on time and took care of them carefully. They didn't notice for a day.
Sure enough, the cloth bag seemed to be a little dry. Wen Gu touched it with his divine knowledge, and it weighed a little lighter. And that strange pot of soup, the color slowly melted, was already infinitely close to green.
And just like that, four days later.
The cloth bag is completely dry and the soup is very thick. Xiao Zhai performed a small operation and immediately took out the cloth bag and opened it. Wow, the medicine has almost evaporated, leaving only some broken slag stuck inside.
"Almost. She said.
"Okay, I'll do it first. ”
Gucci stretched out his hands, as if hugging the Dan furnace. Two soft spiritual forces spread out along the palms of the hands and injected into the furnace mouths on both sides. As soon as the fire was lit, it rose a few inches.
However, as the spiritual power became stronger and stronger, the flames burned, licking the bottom of the tripod as if to swallow it and melt it. This thick soup is noisier, the bubbles burst, and quickly turns into a semi-liquid and semi-solid form.
This step, known as the ascending Dan, is the pre-procedure for the Dan to enter. On the other hand, there are also drop pills that will be used to refine complex pills.
Xiaozhai looked at her boyfriend anxiously for only ten minutes. His face was drenched in sweat. Rao is a person with deep spiritual strength, and he can't stand such a crazy output.
A trembling, hundreds of millions.
"Shouting ......"
After more than ten minutes of persistence, Gu Yun finally couldn't help but shout: "Take over!"
Xiaozhai didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly thought about the other party. As soon as Wen Gu withdrew his hand, he immediately took out the wine gourd, poured a few sips, and then slowly relaxed.
“......“
Xiaozhai pursed his lips, more serious than ever. She's not in good spirits and will be saving the street in 15 minutes. But at this moment, the soup became drier and smaller, and while looking at the baby, he listened to "Bang!"
A stream of green and fluffy stuff exploded, flying around the tripod and already flowing into the tires.
"Alas, my fault!"
Xiaozhai sighed, his face showing displeasure.
"It's okay, is it the first time?"
Wen Gu took another sip of wine and said, "The Ascending Pill consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Next time you come first, I'll have more time to support you so you can adjust your breathing. ”
"Good!"
As a result, they completed the adjustment and began the second round of testing.
said in front of everyone that if you want to ascend to Dan, Xiao Zhai will go first, and Wen Gu will take over. The strategy was good this time. After exhaustion, Xiaozhai successfully renewed.
When she mustered up her courage, she poked her head out. The soup in the pot turns dark green like jelly. It's like a slimy Pia lying in it.
This is the most basic Dan tire, she immediately told God to roll, wrapped the tire, and slowly kneaded it. It can only take shape if it is round, complete, and transparent.
It seemed that everything was going well, but after a few seconds, Xiaozhai suddenly seemed calm and even more depressed.
Rayfa is unrivaled in strength and is invincible against his enemies. She is capable of doing these important jobs, but her shortcomings have emerged: insufficient accumulation. This time it's the same again, just a drop away.
Bang.
After all, the corpse did not take shape and flowed out again.
She jumped up and flew outside the cave and heard crackling and rumbling. After a few minutes, she vented enough, returned to her quarters, and asked, "How long are you short?"
"I can connect it in about five minutes." A rough estimate of Wen Gu.
"It's still a matter of speed of recovery, how can we speed up some ......"
Xiao Zhai suddenly waved his hand and turned his head to look at her boyfriend. Meng Gu also felt helpless and smiled bitterly. He took out a small box with several faintly glowing spirit stones inside.
"Well, if you don't give up, you can only use this. ”
