Chapter 1000: Alchemy (Part II)
"Brother Dongyuan, this ...... How about these herbs? I picked them the way you taught me......"
Seeing Qin Dongyuan take out the herbs he picked one by one, Qin Feng's expression looked a little nervous, according to Qin Dongyuan, the medicinal properties of ginseng can almost be made up for by other herbs, but if the quality of all the herbs is not enough, then Qin Dongyuan is also a clever woman who can cook without rice.
"Yes, where did you find these medicinal herbs?"
Qin Dongyuan nodded, pointed to the rhizome of the Ganoderma lucidum and said, "I'm afraid the year of this Lingzhi will be more than 13,000 years, even if it is extremely rare in our place, I didn't expect to be bumped into by you......"
In the space where Qin Dongyuan lives, the animals in the mountains are very spiritual, and they know that herbs are good things, so in addition to the medicinal materials that grow in some special environments, rare medicines that are more than a thousand years old are also very rare, Qin Feng took out so many thousands of years of herbs at once, even Qin Dongyuan was shocked.
"Is that usable?" Qin Feng's face showed joy, although his cultivation was slightly higher than Qin Dongyuan's, but when it came to alchemy medicine, it was far inferior to Qin Dongyuan.
"Well, you keep it well, let's open the furnace for alchemy......" Qin Dongyuan said: "The fresh medicinal materials picked can't be left for a long time, it is better to refine them as soon as possible, it is best not to be disturbed during the alchemy period, you tell the people outside......"
"Okay, Brother Dongyuan, I will protect the Dharma for you and promise that no one will interfere with your ......"
Qin Feng nodded heavily, took out his mobile phone and dialed Meng Lin, and as soon as he connected it, he said straight to the point: "Brother Lin, I'm going to refine the medicine now, you tell the people over there, don't come to the door within five days." Otherwise, don't blame me for not being emotional......"
For Qin Feng, refining the elixir for Meng Yao is the most important thing now, everything else can be put aside, if the people in the ability group want to see him, then they will have to wait for Qin Feng to refine the elixir.
"Start making a drug now, don't you need to prepare?"
Meng Lin, who had just driven away from the manor, slammed on the brakes. As soon as the steering wheel turned, he drove in the direction in which he came, and said murderously: "Qin Feng, I'll be back soon, don't worry, before you refine the medicine, I promise that no one will appear in the manor......"
For this alchemy, Meng Lin's attention to Cheng Dù was no less than Qin Feng's, and after turning the head of the car, Meng Lin made a call. The first call was made to a buddy in the capital garrison, and asked him to send a company to guard outside the manor.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Lin called the person in the ability group who contacted him, telling him that Qin Feng had not been able to meet them in the past few days, and before the person could raise an objection, Meng Lin hung up the phone, he was not in the mood to talk to that person now.
"Qin Feng, do you need any help?"
Almost returning to the manor at the speed of a racing car, Meng Lin rushed into the room. He said, "Give me a few hours, and I can mobilize the most famous potion experts in the capital to come and help." There is also the top heart surgery expert in China, and he happens to be in the capital......"
In addition to asking Qin Feng and Qin Dongyuan to diagnose Meng Yao, Meng Lin also found some other well-known experts in China, and now Meng Yao will go to the hospital every other week for follow-up consultations, so that those experts can know her condition at any time.
"What's the use of looking for them? Do you have what it takes for them to cure that girl's illness? ”
Hear Meng Lin's words. Qin Dongyuan said unceremoniously: "Boy, I only agreed to refine the pill for the sake of Qin Feng's face, you had better knock on the door next time and come in, otherwise you will delay my refining of the pill, and you will harm your own sister......"
"I'm sorry. Old Qin, I'm really sorry. Qin Dongyuan's words made Meng Lin realize his Meng Lang, and hurriedly said: "I'm also too anxious, Old Qin, I promise that without your orders, no one will break in again......"
"Okay, let's go out......" Qin Dongyuan waved his hand angrily and said, "It's okay to have Qin Feng here to help, it's better not to approach my residence if you have no extraneous personnel......
"Yes, Old Qin, you can rest assured......" When Meng Lin was about to go out, his eyes suddenly swept over the Dan furnace in the room, and he couldn't help but be stunned, turned his eyes to Qin Feng, and said, "Qin Feng, you ...... Do you really want to do alchemy? ”
Hearing Qin Feng say the term alchemy before, Meng Lin only thought that this was the statement of Taoist medicine, but when he saw this Dan furnace, Meng Lin was a little confused, were they really ready to refine the pill like in Taoist legends?
You must know that the ancients sought immortality in alchemy, which has been recorded since the time of Qin Shi Huang, according to legend, after Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, he searched for Fang Shi Taoists, let them refine the elixir for themselves, the most famous "book burning pit Confucianism" incident in history, in fact, is related to alchemy.
At that time, there was a monk named Lu Sheng, who was extremely trusted by Qin Shi Huang, and he told the emperor that if the emperor lived in a room that no one knew about, and no one knew about it, he could get the elixir of life.
Qin Shi Huang believed this set of nonsense, and ordered the construction of 260 palaces within 100 miles of Xianyang, the capital of Beijing, all connected by Yongdao, all surrounded by curtains, and placed bells and drums and beauty lamps in them. The emperor made daily rounds of the palace, and his entourage was not allowed to divulge the emperor's residence, and anyone who dared to divulge secrets was immediately executed.
One day, Qin Shi Huang visited Liangshan Palace and saw Li Si, the prime minister of the mountain, traveling, riding a lot, and he was very dissatisfied.
Qin Shi Huang knew that someone had leaked what he said, and he was very angry, and immediately issued an edict to arrest the entourage who was by his side that day, because he couldn't find out who leaked it, so he killed all the servants, and since then, none of the ministers know the emperor's daily whereabouts and residence. Although Fang Shi Lu Sheng deceived the emperor for a while, he was still uneasy in his heart, because he knew that according to the law of the Qin Dynasty, Fang Shi would be killed if the Fang Shi did not work twice, and he discussed with Hou Sheng in private that he could no longer ask for the elixir for him, so he secretly fled.
When Qin Shi Huang heard this, he was furious, and hated Fang Shi for wasting money and not asking for immortal medicine, and even dared to slander himself.
Qin Shi Huang couldn't catch Lu Sheng, so he was angry with the Confucian scholars in Beijing, thinking that they were also guilty of the crime of "evil words to mess with the head of the Qian", and ordered the imperial history to torture the Confucian students, and the Confucian scholars denounced each other, implicating more than 460 people to violate the ban, so there was the famous "book burning pit Confucianism" incident in history.
In addition to Qin Shi Huang, the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was also a mediocre emperor who believed in alchemy, and the secret recipes and alchemy offered from all over the country at that time were varied, among which "red lead" was the most popular alchemy method: the virgin menstruation and medicinal powder were mixed and roasted, like cinnabar.
These drugs are said to have a strong and libido effect. In order to collect enough alchemy raw materials, Emperor Jiajing forced the palace maids to take drugs that induced menstrual bleeding, which damaged the palace maids' bodies at least, and caused excessive blood loss or even blood collapse, and many people died as a result.
Due to the long-term use of pills, Emperor Jiajing's temperament was very irritable, and he often whipped the palace maids who made mistakes, which made many palace maids hold grudges, and once fell asleep at night, and was even almost strangled to death by several palace maids with ropes, which is also a strange story.
In addition, there are also Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty, there are rumors that he took a pill with black lead ingredients and died violently, because from the Qing court archives, Yongzheng did take pills for a long time, and the toxic components of the pills accumulated in his body for a long time led to his violent death, which is very likely, and many experts have made detailed inferences about this through guò works.
It was precisely because of his understanding of these histories that Meng Lin was shocked by Qin Feng and Qin Dongyuan's alchemy, he didn't expect that in the modern society where medicine is prosperous, the two of them would really want to use the Dan furnace to alchemy?
"Brother Lin, you misunderstood, our refining of pills is different from those alchemy in history......"
Seeing Meng Lin's puzzled look, Qin Feng said: "The main purpose of alchemy is to cultivate the elixir of immortality, and secondly, to convert base metals into precious metals such as gold and silver, their alchemy mainly uses hardware, eight stones, and three yellow as raw materials, and most of the alchemy is arsenic, mercury and lead preparations, but the real alchemy is based on medicinal materials, and there are no ingredients such as arsenic, mercury and lead in it, so you can rest assured......"
Qin Feng is familiar with Taoist classics, and he is naturally much clearer about the situation of alchemy than Meng Lin, and the original intention of those alchemy in pursuit of immortality is absurd, hoping to use the essence of gold and stone to make people immortal and become immortals, but it backfired, triggering a series of historical farces.
But in the space where Qin Dongyuan lived, alchemy was an important part of medical science, which could assist martial artists in their cultivation, and all the herbs used were extremely rare, so naturally there would be no poisoning of pills.
"Don't fool me, you kid." It was a matter of his sister's life, Meng Lin still didn't dare to believe Qin Feng's words, and said immediately: "After your elixir is refined, I have to find someone to analyze the ingredients before Yaoyao can take ......"
"Okay, just do as you say......" Qin Feng nodded in agreement, he was also afraid that there would be some chemical reactions after the fusion of various herbs, Meng Lin's mention was exactly what he thought in his heart.
"Nacheng, I'll ask the pharmacy expert to prepare the real room, and as soon as your elixir comes out, I'll send it over for testing......" Hearing Qin Feng's words, Meng Lin was relieved, he didn't dare to let his sister take any pill casually.
"I said you kid, you can't believe me, right?"
After Meng Lin went out, Qin Dongyuan glanced at Qin Feng with some dissatisfaction, refining a furnace of pills was also an extremely energy-consuming thing for him, but he didn't expect the person concerned to have a skeptical attitude, which naturally made Qin Dongyuan feel angry.
"Brother Dongyuan, just in case, you mix the herbs first, and I'll go outside and bring the gas in......"
Qin Feng didn't dare to offend Qin Dongyuan, so he ran to the courtyard at the moment, carried the bottles of gas and the special stove to the house, and started the preparations before alchemy. (To be continued......)
