Volume 2 Taihe Dragon King Chapter 20 Fire Rain
Qian Wancai said: "Nephew Song Xian, can you create a rain of fire?" ”
Everyone looked at Qian Wancai and Song Zhimin with some surprise when they heard this, and they didn't know why Qian Wancai asked this. Song Zhimin looked at Qian Wancai with a puzzled expression, and Qian Baozhu said: "Dad, do you mean that this fire rain was caused by Song Gongzi?" ”
Qian Wancai said: "Nonsense! I mean, if Song Xian's nephew can create a rain of fire, he can give us a demonstration, and we can prove it to them when the time comes! ”
Song Zhimin said: "My father once told me about fire rain, I can't guarantee that I can make it, but I can try!" ”
Qian Wancai said happily: "What do you need for nephew Song Xian?" ”
Song Zhimin said: "Phospholite, sulfur, saltpeter, fire oil, flint." ”
Qian Wancai said to Xue Kai: "Xue Kai, you and Wu Hai go to prepare these things!" ”
"Yes!"
Song Zhimin said: "My father used to say that the conditions for the formation of this fire rain are also very strict, and many phosphorite will spontaneously burn under the scorching sun, so that the fire rain will not be formed!" By the way, I almost forgot that Lime does all this, but Lime is white, and it is not easy to sprinkle it everywhere, and it is easy to be noticed! ”
Qian Wancai said: "Yes, the words of lime are indeed more perfect to explain all this, but the lime is white." ”
Qian Baozhu said: "Isn't there any black lime?" ”
Qian Wancai said: "I have never seen black lime!" ”
Song Zhimin pondered slightly: "Perhaps, the problem lies in phospholite, sulfur and other things!" ”
As soon as Song Zhimin said this, everyone looked at Song Zhimin, and Wang Binqi asked: "Zhimin, what you said, is it the formula of these materials?" ”
Song Zhimin shook his head slightly, and said to Wang Binqi: "Master, although you often go to the tomb with your father, but you have never been interested in these things, my father has been studying tomb tombs, and he has also studied these things, I remember once my father told me that he once went to a tomb, and there was a Dan furnace for alchemy and Qi in the tomb, and all around, because of the fire that was needed for alchemy, there was black powder all over the ground. ”
When Qian Baozhu heard this, he immediately said to Qian Wancai: "Dad, look at it! Isn't this with black lime? ”
Qian Wancai said to Qian Baozhu: "Don't interject! Then he said to Song Zhimin: "Song Xian's nephew, you continue!" ”
Song Zhimin nodded and continued: "My father only thought it was the soot that floated out during the alchemy, but when he drank the water, he accidentally spilled the water on the ground, but after those black powders encountered the water, they quickly evaporated and released heat. I think this fire rain in Junzhou may be like this. ”
Qian Wancai said: "Nephew Song Xian, you just said that it was alchemy?" ”
Song Zhimin said: "Yes! ”
Qian Wancai said: "On this Wudang Mountain, are there people who can't make alchemy?" ”
Wang Binqi said: "By the way, I think of something!" ”
They asked, "What is it?" ”
Wang Binqi said: "When I went to Fangzhou, I was separated from Zhimin, and I came to Junzhou, when there was no disaster in Junzhou, but a strange thing happened in Junzhou at that time!" ”
The crowd asked, "What is strange?" ”
Wang Binqi said: "At that time, I heard that Junzhou Taihe Guanzhong wanted to worship the Dragon Lord, and it was necessary to use gold, silver, jade, copper, mercury, etc. to shape the Dragon Lord. ”
Qian Baozhu said: "What's so strange about this? It shows that the locals believe in this! ”
Wang Binqi said: "But the problem is here, think about it, this Taiheguan, formerly known as the Five Dragons Temple, there are five dragon kings in the east, west, south, north and south, which is to reshape the statue of the god with gold, silver and jade for the five dragon kings, the cost is very huge, not to mention, the first emperor of Qin Shi also collected all the gold in the world, and only then did he cast twelve gold figures." ”
Qian Wancai said: "I have heard of using copper as a material as a god and god, and that is only in the White Horse Temple, as for the gold, silver and jade, there are a few in my family, but they are all small, and I don't think it is possible to become such a big one in the temple!" And how can mercury be used as a material for idols? ”
Song Zhimin said: "Gold, silver, copper, jade and mercury, these things can be used to refine pills, legend has it that Xu Fu in order to seek immortal alchemy for Qin Shi Huang, when he went to sea, he brought a lot of gold, silver, jade, mercury and many precious medicinal materials. ”
Qian Wancai said: "Nephew Song Xian, do you mean that these things can be used to refine pills?" ”
Song Zhimin: "As far as I know, alchemy is generally divided into two types: inner pill and outer pill. Inner Dan, originated from the art of Huang Lao, is the Taoist family swallowed the essence of the sun and the moon, the evolution of the five elements of the change, supplemented by the elixir miraculous medicine, this kind of inner Dan, can only be carried out in their own body, so those who refine the inner Dan are all people in the Xuanmen. Wai Dan is different, Wai Dan is a Taoist smelting pill through various secret methods, used to eat, in order to ignite their own yin and yang, so that yin and yang are reconciled, so as to achieve immortality. ”
Li Xianhui said: "So, if someone is refining the pill here, it is refining the outer pill?" ”
Song Zhimin said: "Not bad! Generally, refining Wai Dan requires a lot of materials. Gold is refined, and people believe that taking the gold pill refined from gold can achieve the effect of immortality! Silver, jade, mercury, dansha, sulfur, saltpeter, flint, zengqing, magnetite, alumite, talc, feldspar, asbestos, mica, lead, arsenic, frost, lime, etc. are all essential things for alchemy! ”
Li Bao'er was surprised: "Aren't these things poisonous?" ”
Song Zhimin said: "Not bad! Therefore, people who make alchemy will use other drugs to get rid of toxicity, such as ginseng, snow lotus, pearl, ganoderma lucidum, poria cocos, gallnut, raspberry, aracea, honey locust, dodder silk, vermilion, chicken blood vine, snake gall bladder, bezoar, agarwood, sandalwood, ambergris, musk and other precious medicinal materials. ”
Qian Baozhu praised when he heard this: "Song Gongzi is really knowledgeable and talented!" After speaking, I didn't forget to look at Li Xianhui.
When Li Xianhui saw Qian Baozhu looking at her, she glanced at Qian Baozhu and didn't say a word to Qian Baozhu.
Qian Wancai said: "According to this, the gold and silver and other things may be used to refine the pill, just now Song Xian's nephew said that this is the Taoist used to refine the outer pill, this is the same view of Taihe, I think this speculation is nine points." ”
Song Zhimin said: "Maybe this fire rain is caused by alchemy, and the closer we get to Wudang Mountain along the way, the more serious the disaster will be." ”
Qian Wancai said: "Dare to refine the pill like this, it seems that this matter is not simple!" ”
Li Bao'er said: "Alchemy, from ancient times to the present, has been done by the royal family and nobles, I'm afraid that this matter is so big that it is unimaginable!" ”
Li Xianhui also sighed and said, "Yes! I'm afraid that the deeper part of this matter will be very dangerous! ”
Qian Wancai said: "The main purpose of our coming here is to rescue His Royal Highness the King of Luling, and we don't care about anything else!" ”
"Hmm!" Everyone nodded when they heard this.
Qian Wancai said to Qian Da and the others: "A few of you, go and clean up this inn, we can also rest, Qian four and five, you two go to find some ingredients nearby, we are here, we also want to eat!" ”
"Yes!"
After a while, I saw that Qinglian and the others also came back, and Qian Wancai smiled and said, "Four, hard work!" ”
Jiang Huai shook his head and said: "This Taiheguan is really heavily guarded, and I, Huang Lao Ghost, and the three of Feng Dumb didn't go in." ”
Qian Wancai asked Qinglian, "Qinglian Pavilion Master, have you heard anything?" ”
Qinglian said: "There are many masters in the view, in addition to Ding Zheng, there are also Gan Guisheng, Li Minwen, Wang Wei, Zhang Jianhong, Hu Songbai, Zhao Song, Zhang Kai, Liu Mi, Shi Xiaolong, Wang Xiaojun and others are also there. ”
Qian Wancai said: "It's really a big battle!" ”
Qinglian said: "I only saw these people, and I didn't see Lai Touren and Wang Hongyi either, and this time, I heard a name that should have disappeared for a long time!" ”
The crowd hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”
Qinglian said word by word: "Zhang Guangfu! ”
Li Chongrun said: "Zhang Guangfu? Hasn't he been dead for a long time? ”
Qian Wancai said: "Zhang Guangfu was condemned and reprimanded by Di Renjie, who was the assassin of Yuzhou at the time, and then framed Di Renjie to demote his official, and later Zhang Guangfu was framed and executed by Xu Jingzhen and Zhang Siming. ”
Li Bao'er said: "Not bad! So why is his name here? ”
Qinglian said: "Zhang Guangfu was married to Lai Junchen and others when he was in the court, speaking of which, this Zhang Guangfu's relationship with Lai Junchen and others is really unusual!" ”
Qian Baozhu said: "It can't be that this Zhang Guangfu is not dead, right?" ”
Qian Wancai said: "Everyone in the world knows that he is dead, if he is not dead, then it must be the Magistrate's Court who secretly saved this person!" ”
Qinglian said: "Not bad! I have long heard that Zhang Guangfu was in the court, he had discouraged the emperor from seeking the elixir of immortality, I went to the Taihe view, faintly could smell a trace of danxiang, presumably in this view, there is a place for alchemy. ”
Qian Wancai said: "We were also guessing just now that Taiheguan should be the place of alchemy!" Qian Wancai then told the four Qinglian about the analysis and speculation of everyone just now.
Qinglian said: "Not bad! These things are all necessary items for refining pills, I have been in the Xuanmen with my master for a long time, and I also know a little about the Xuanmen Taoism, and my master has also practiced the Inner Dan, but the cultivation of this Inner Pill is not as simple as swallowing the sun and the moon, evolving the five elements, and taking the elixir. ”
Qian Baozhu asked curiously, "Aunt Qinglian, have you cultivated the Inner Dan?" ”
Qinglian said with a smile: "When I first learned martial arts, I just wanted to avenge my family, I didn't have the cultivation of my master, so I didn't practice any inner dan, I just followed my master to learn some inner family exercises." ”
Huang Quan said: "Ahem...... The art of alchemy can be described as nine deaths, and I heard people say when I was young that I wanted to practice it...... cough cough cough ...... Refining the Inner Dan, but I didn't want to make a mistake when refining the pill, which made me go crazy and caused my lungs to be ...... cough cough cough ...... Damaged, it has the ghost it looks like today. ”
Li Xianhui said: "Sister Qinglian, since you have been in Xuanmen for a long time, do you think this disaster in Junzhou is a man-made fire rain or a heaven-made ghost rain?" ”
Qinglian said: "When I came to Junzhou, I felt that these trees seemed to have shrunk after being watered by hot water, and I just went to Taihe Temple, coupled with Song Gongzi's judgment, I concluded that this must be a fire rain!" ”
