Chapter 460 Half-Immortal Zuo Ci (I)

Lao Zuo's house is simply unsightly, I have never seen such a simple house. The surrounding walls are made of stones, which seem to be randomly piled up like children playing with toys, and they are crumbling and dangerous.

Yun Ximing walked in the front, and our group walked into this small dilapidated house, and when we walked in, we found that the roof was already full of holes, and in order not to leak rain, there were two iron sheets on it, and I don't know how they did it.

"Can this also be called a house?" Dazhe said.

"There's nothing to make a fuss about, I've seen more houses than this one that are in serious danger, and that's nothing." Uncle Lu said.

"Lao Lu, you are naturally well-informed, and we also know that there are countless such dilapidated houses in China, but this Bayun Village used to be a tourist mecca, although the people here are simple, but the villagers here are not poor, and every family is well-off along the way. It's amazing to see a house like this here. Yun Ximing said.

Lao Zuo's house can be called a family with four walls, there is nothing in the house, the door is the living room, the right hand side is the bedroom, the living room is a stove and a table of eight immortals, the bedroom has only a simple double bed with an iron shelf, a broken quilt is not folded, just rolled up at random and thrown aside.

Strangely enough, there is nothing in the house, but there is a plaque on the wall of the living room.

"What has become of the poor family, and the mood is still in the mood. What's written on this? Jiudan Gold... Gold... Brother Childe, what kind of word is this? Dazhe asked.

"Jiudan gold liquid, 洂 is a variant of liquid, so it is not wrong to write it like this." Yun Ximing said.

"Is there such a name on the plaque? Why does it sound so similar to the name of the drug? Yun Xian said.

"It's just that, it's really strange, how can there be a medicine name engraved on the plaque. Brother Childe, aren't you Baidu Encyclopedia? What's written on this? Dazhe asked.

"It seems to have something to do with Taoist alchemy, but this aspect is really not my domain, and I can't say what it is." Yun Ximing said.

"I know." Unexpectedly, Sister Wang Na whispered.

"Sister Wang Na, do you know?" Dazhe asked.

"I studied medicine before. Both Chinese and Western medicine are involved. It's also a medical thing, so I know a little bit about it. Sister Wang Na said.

"So what exactly is this Jiudan Gold Liquid? Some kind of pill? Uncle Lu asked.

"Gold liquid and Jiudan are two different things, gold liquid is a kind of elixir refined by ancient Fangshi. It is also said that it is a special technique to refine a fine wine. There are ancient books that say. The golden liquid Taiyi is served, and the immortals are also. Do not reduce nine Dan. It means that after drinking the gold liquid, you can become an immortal, and the prince Zhenren drank the gold liquid to become an immortal. The effect is not weaker than that of Jiudan, in fact, it is a kind of immortal prescription in the legend of the ancients. Sister Wang Na said.

"It's not weaker than Jiudan, so that means Jiudan is a more powerful pill?" Min Lan said.

"That's right, Jiudan is from the "Yellow Emperor Jiuding Shendan Sutra", which is also referred to as "Jiuding Shendan Sutra". In this book, it is believed that if you want to live forever without the golden liquid of the elixir, it is not possible to breathe guidance, spit out the old and absorb the new, and take the medicine of plants and trees, you can prolong your life, but you are not exempt from death, but taking the elixir makes the gods live in the world. The book also lists a variety of alchemy methods, such as the Xuanhuang method, the Danhua method, the Shen Rune method, the Shen Dan method, the return Dan method, the bait pill method, the alchemy method, the Rou Dan method, the Fu Dan method, the Han Dan method, etc., and proposes that alchemy must choose a master to receive the formula. The book also talks about the specific production of many kinds of medicines, such as mercury, dansha, realgar and so on. Sister Wang Na said.

"So these pills are all made by the Yellow Emperor?" I asked.

I don't know who wrote this book, but it is mainly an account of the Yellow Emperor's quest for Taoism. Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor was returned to the Xuannu. Xuannu is the Heavenly Maiden, and it may be Nuwa. The Yellow Emperor took the elixir and became an immortal. The Heavenly Maiden also told the Yellow Emperor how to maintain it in order to prolong his life, and even told him about the practice of these gold liquid nine pills. In order to thank the Heavenly Maiden and the gods for their help, the Yellow Emperor formulated the rituals and procedures of sacrifice to thank the heavens. Sister Wang Na said.

"So what kind of Jiudan is Jiudan?" Min Lan asked.

"There are generally 61 mud methods and Xuanhuang methods for making Jiudan. The first divine pill is called Danhua, the second divine pill is called Shenrune, the third divine pill is called Shendan, the fourth divine pill is called Huandan, the fifth divine pill is called Bait Dan, the sixth Dan is called Alchemy, the seventh Dan is called Roudan, the eighth Dan is called Fudan, and the ninth Dan is called Handan. The main ingredients of these elixirs are Xuanhuang, realgar water, alum water, Rong salt, halogen salt, and quenshi. Oysters, red stone grease, talc, hu powder, etc., it is said that the longer these gold pills are burned, the more wonderful the changes will be, and the gold will not disappear after thousands of smelting, and it will never decay like heaven and earth when it is buried in the ground. Taking these two substances can exercise people's bodies, so they can make people immortal. To strengthen oneself with the help of external objects is like grease that feeds a fire so that it will not be extinguished. When Jindan enters the human body, it will moisten the body's qi and blood. This is the principle of the Jiuding Divine Pill, but no one in the world has ever really refined and taken these pills. Some people say that people who have eaten these pills have already turned into immortals, and now medicine feels that these pills contain a lot of mercury, and if you take them, I am afraid that not only is it not an elixir, but a poison. Wang Na said.

"So how did this prescription stay?" Min Lan said, "Isn't this a disaster for the country and the people?" ”

"On the one hand, since ancient times, almost all emperors have been pursuing the secret recipe of immortality, on the other hand, it is also because these things were the tools of the ruling class to control the people at that time, many people would believe in the missionary doctrines of some religions at that time, and these teachings were obtained by distorting the original religious beliefs, but the common people flocked to it, so asking for immortals and asking for medicine has been a way to survive in the minds of the common people since ancient times. In the heyday of alchemy, almost every family had a Dan furnace, which was not unusual. It is not surprising that this recipe has survived to this day. But there is one person who can be said to have contributed to the fact that this prescription has been passed down to this day. Sister Wang Na said.

"Who?" Dazhe asked.

"You must have all heard of this person, his name is Zuo Ci." Sister Wang Na said.

"Zuo Ci, this person really exists, but isn't this person fictional in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" Yun Ximing said. "The so-called art comes from life, I think, if there is no Zuo Ci in the world, I am afraid that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms will not write him so expressively, but when I was studying Chinese medicine, many prescriptions were also passed on by word of mouth, so such people may really exist, but they are just exaggerated." Sister Wang Na said. "Exaggeration, how can this be called exaggeration, this Zuo Ci is not an ordinary person, he is a half-immortal, and now in history, the so-called feathered immortal who can be traced out, this Zuo Ci is the most capable and closest to the immortal." Yun Ximing said. "As far as you know, I can tell you, I have watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms several times, this time you may not be able to talk about me, I also know a lot about Zuo Ci." Dazhe hurriedly said. "Okay, then I'll call you, the moving Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you can tell me, what's so powerful about this Zuo Ci." Min Lan said.

He went to attend Cao Cao's banquet, Cao Cao smiled and looked around at the guests and said: Today's VIP gathering, the delicacies of the mountains and seas are roughly complete. All that's missing is minced fish made of sea bass in the Songjiang River in Wu Guo. Zuo Ci said: This is easy to get. So he asked for a copper plate filled with water. Fish with a bamboo pole and bait on a plate. After a while, a sea bass was caught. Cao Cao applauded warmly, and everyone at the banquet was amazed. Cao Cao said: One fish cannot make all the guests at the banquet eat, it is good to have two. Zuo Ci fished again, and after a while, he fished out another one, which was more than three feet long, just like the previous one. Cao Cao saw that it was really amazing, so he personally stepped forward and made it into minced fish and gave it to everyone at the banquet to eat. Cao Cao said: Now that I have got the sea bass, it is a pity that there is no ginger from Shu as a condiment. Zuo Ci said: It's also easy. As he spoke, he was going to get up and go out to buy. Cao Cao was afraid that he would buy it nearby, so he said: I have sent someone to Shu to buy brocade in the past, you can order someone to tell me to delegate and let him buy more two ends. Zuo Ci then went out and left, and came back after a while, got ginger, and said to Cao Cao: I have seen the man you sent in the shop that sells brocade, and I have ordered him to buy two more ends. Later, more than a year later, the people appointed by Cao Cao came back and bought more two-end brocades. Cao Cao asked him, and he said: On a certain day in the past month, I met a man in the shop, and he conveyed your order to me. Tell me, is this Zuo Ci particularly capable, so the world says that he is a half-immortal body, this is not a joke. Dazhe said, but we also think it's incredible when he says this, on the one hand, Zuo Ci's description in the book makes people feel really amazing to listen to, on the other hand, I also feel that Dazhe's performance this time is different from the past, I didn't expect this guy to talk about the story of the Three Kingdoms is really the head.

"Zuo Ci is certainly a smart person, and he was enlightened by a master when he was young, and he is very powerful. But Guo Hui Yixiao, Zuo Ci showed his skills like this, which also made Cao Cao dissatisfied, and then Cao Cao also tested him many times, this Zuo Ci clearly knew Cao Cao's intentions, not only did not know how to converge, but repeatedly let Cao Cao not come to the stage in public, although Cao Cao knew that he was indeed not a mortal in the world, but he still had murderous intentions against him. Fatty, what do you say in the later paragraph, you hurry up and behave. Yun Ximing said. (To be continued.) )
