Merton's four dressed in fancy clothes walked down the bluestone streets, and the shops on both sides of the street were all selling incense and candles.

"Four young masters, but if you want to go to Xuandu to burn incense, bring some incense and candles to show sincerity." A shop guy turned out to be dressed as a Taoist priest and greeted the four people.

Qin Huaiyu waved his hand impatiently, this is already the fifth wave, the four of them are dressed in strange costumes on this lively street, and the return rate is simply 100%, plus although the four people are dressed strangely, but the clothes are beautifully clothed, clean and tidy, at first glance, they are not poor people, and they soon became the sales objects of many merchants.

Merton was not angry, he was used to this kind of business behavior, reached out and took out a few Kaiyuan Tongbao in his pocket, put them in the hands of the Taoist priest and said: "We don't need incense candles and the like, what we are looking for is some alchemy materials." ”

Merton and the others turned around, but they didn't find that alchemy materials such as saltpeter were all incense candles and other things used by ordinary pilgrims.

The man's face was happy, this is a few big coins, enough for his salary for a day, his hands shrunk, and a few Kaiyuan Tongbao immediately disappeared into the wide Taoist robe and said: "A few young masters, this is the right person to ask, this street is all about buying pilgrims' things, and the materials asked by the young master are all used by the Taoist master, so naturally they will not be sold on the surface." ”

Merton frowned and said, "Where can I buy that?" ”

"Along this street, turn right and see the alley where a gossip flag is hoisted!" The guy didn't sell it, and said heartily.

The four of them followed the address mentioned by the guy, and sure enough, they saw a gossip flag in a corner.

Entering the alley, Merton suddenly felt that he had walked into a small workshop-style chemical factory in later generations, where almost all kinds of chemical materials were available.

"Alum!"

Cheng Chumo looked at the gall alum they had just made and said in surprise. It's such a little bit of magic, but it gives them a big surprise.

Merton walked along the way, and couldn't help but open his eyes, here is not only bile alum, borax, stone mother, dansha, realgar, etc., but also the chemical raw materials that Merton called are not named, the variety is complete, it is simply into an open-air chemical laboratory.

"Ahh

A pungent smell came, and Merton couldn't help but sneeze into the sulfur which guy had burned the sulfur.

"Be careful!"

Morton looked at the shop on the right, a man with a sallow face and a thin face did not wear a mask, only used a few pieces of sheepskin to cushion, and poured a jar of silver-white liquid into small bottles, and next to him was filled with blood-red cinnabar, which are commonly used by Taoist priests in alchemy.

Merton saw clearly, it was clearly a jar of mercury, commonly known as mercury, which was the most commonly used thing in Taoism.

"The young master is too careful, the villain has been refining mercury for decades, and there has never been a mistake, as long as it does not touch the body, there will be no problems." The sallow man opened his mouth full of yellow and black teeth, threw aside the sheepskin cushion in his hand, and said indifferently.

Merton waited for the sallow man to seal the vials one by one with a cork, and then slowly approached to look at the sallow man's face and said, "Do you often have dizziness and headaches?" ”

The sallow man was stunned for a moment, and his face instantly turned from yellow to white.

"I'm afraid your teeth are almost gone, even the only teeth I'm afraid are loose!" Merton sighed and said pityingly.

The sallow man's hand shook again, and his face instantly turned from white to red.

"And your hands don't tremble for a while, but often! I'm afraid it's a little difficult for you to hold chopsticks now! Morton stared at the sallow man's trembling hands and sighed.

"The young master is really a miracle doctor!" The sallow man sincerely admired, "The villain's hand tremors have been suffering from this disease for more than ten years, but I didn't expect the young master to be able to see it at a glance." ”

At this time, a woman with the same sallow face walked out of the inner room, holding a large porcelain bowl of water in her hand, holding a yellow and clear pill in her right hand and said, "Xianggong, it's time to take medicine!" ”

Suddenly, Merton's eyes were attracted by the pill in the woman's hand, the surface of this pill was extremely smooth, the color was attractive, and when it was illuminated by the sun, there was a trace of luster, which made people can't help but be attracted.

The sallow man pinched the elixir, picked up the water from the porcelain bowl, drank it all, and soon the sallow man's face flushed, and after a while, sweat oozed out of his forehead, and the whole person suddenly became excited, and his hands that had been constantly shaking also regained stability.

"Master Xuanduguan's elixir is worthy of being a fairy art, the villain has been sick for decades, and there is no cure for how many doctors have been asked, but this elixir makes the villain feel like he has been reborn." The sallow man was full of energy, looked in the direction of Xuandu Temple with reverence on his face, and bowed respectfully three times, his face solemn as if he had reborn his parents.

Merton's face suddenly froze, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh and said: "Next time when refining mercury, it is best to choose an open place, no matter how bad a room is ventilated on all sides, and buy some charcoal to make a mouth cage, which can relieve the symptoms." ”

The sallow man looked disapproving, but the woman reached out and pulled him below, and then hurriedly saluted: "Thank you young master for reminding me!" The villain should only be kept in mind. ”

Merton knew that the sallow man didn't listen to his words, and couldn't help but sigh, he had already said it was enough.

After walking a long way, Merton couldn't help but look back, only to see that the sallow man continued to turn the cinnabar in his workshop, not taking Merton's words to heart at all.

"This person has been deeply poisoned!" Qin Huaiyu said meaningfully.

"The poison has entered the body! Into the bone three points! A hint of pain appeared on Merton's face, and he said word by word.

"How so? I see that this man is very shrewd, and he wears a sheepskin cushion, and obviously knows that mercury is not suitable for human contact, how can it be poisoned? Cheng Chumo wondered.

"You think you'll be fine without contact? If you buy that jar of mercury, open the plug and put it down for a few days, you will find that your mercury is gone? Merton explained the evaporation of mercury.

"Ahh Yu Chi Baolin exclaimed in hindsight, "Since Merton can see this person's condition at a glance, is it ......?" ”

Looking at Yu Chi Baolin's expectant eyes, Merton shook his head regretfully.

In this day and age, it is simply impossible to synthesize a drug to solve mercury poisoning, otherwise how could Merton sit back and watch this phenomenon.

"Then let him go to the Mo Hospital, I believe that Doctor Sun and Doctor Hua must have a way."

Merton shook his head and said with a heavy face: "The medicine stone is incurable!" ”

The damage to the nerves caused by mercury poisoning is irreversible and long-lasting, and this person has been refining mercury for a long time, and has already been poisoned into the internal organs.

"How is that possible? Isn't the elixir of Xuanduguan very effective just now? Yu Chi Baolin raised his head suddenly, and asked in disbelief, but he had clearly seen with his own eyes that after the sallow man took the pill, he immediately recovered.

"What if the refining pill is also mixed with mercury?" Merton said faintly, he knew the reason why the sallow man was full of energy, the elixir of this era was an existence that acted as a stimulant, and it could naturally give the sallow man the illusion of healing.

"Doesn't that mean that the pill is also ......" Qin Huaiyu and the three of them suddenly looked shocked. How many people have always pursued the ethereal path of immortality, and taking pills, isn't that ......

Qin Huaiyu and the three of them shuddered when they thought about it, and on this hot afternoon, their hearts were as cold as thirty-nine days.
