Xiong Huai was immediately overjoyed, the appearance of this five-color stone was indeed not a coincidence, and it could appear in large quantities, which was enough to show that Yan Zong had mastered the secret recipe.

It's just that now that Yanzong is dead, thinking about it, Xiong Huai hurriedly asked: "Sikong, then does this Yanzong leave a secret recipe for making glaze or five-color stones." ”

"Yes!" Zhao Yu's face showed a look of joy: "Great King, although Yan Zong is dead, there is still a disciple here, and he also knows the method of refining glaze and five-color stones." ”

"Oh!" Xiong Huai's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he said, "Sikong, has the workshop strictly forbidden others to enter and leave the workshop for confidentiality?" ”

Zhao Yu responded: "King, everything has been arranged. Yan Zong's disciple Wei Xuan has been imprisoned in the workshop. ”

"Good!" Xiong Huai nodded and ordered, "Sikong, get ready, the widow will go to the workshop now." ”

Zhao Yu hesitated and persuaded: "The king, please think twice, if it is late today, will you go again tomorrow?" ”

Xiong Huai disagreed: "There are many long dreams at night, and the five-color stone is very important, and the widow can't wait." ”

······

An hour later, after completely entering the night, Xiong Huai and the others came to Yanzong's residence.

As soon as he entered Yan Zong's small courtyard, Xiong Huai immediately asked A strange smell, slightly pungent, so Xiong Huai covered his nose with his hand and said: "Sikong, what kind of smell is this, the widow remembers that there was no such smell when he came to the workshop last time!" ”

Zhaoyu sniffed slightly, sniffed carefully, and then said: "The king doesn't know, this is the taste of refining glass and refining legendary paper." ”

"Because the matter of glass and paper is very important, after receiving the order of the king three years ago, the minister deliberately separated the place where the glass and paper are refined from other workshops. These smells are the smell of firing glaze, because Yanzong has only practiced a furnace of glaze today, so the taste here will be more obvious. ”

Xiong Huai nodded, but there was a faint disappointment in his heart.

Compared with glass, in fact, Xionghuai is looking forward to paper more. However, it is very insexual, and the glass can be refined by luck, but the paper, after all, is not the product of the summary of experience, and there is still no trace of it, and it is still in the process of exploration.

While speaking, Zhaoyu led Xiong Huai to a side room in the courtyard.

Zhao Yu introduced: "Great King, this is the place where Yan Zong refines his own pills in his spare time, because Yan Zong is hired by the Chu State for a lot of money, so he is different from other craftsmen of my Chu State, and he has his own free time." ”

"According to the agreement made by Yan Zong when he came to Chu, Yan Zong helped my Chu State improve the furnace and assisted my Chu State in refining colored glass, while my Chu State supported him in refining the elixir. Originally, for this kind of illusory thing, the minister didn't care, I didn't want to, when Yan Zong was refining the elixir, he actually found the refining method of glaze and five-color stone, and he also ungrateful concealed the method, which is really hateful. ”

Saying that, Zhao Yu said in a cold voice: "If it weren't for the sudden death of this Yan Sect, his disciples called the guards in a panic, I'm afraid the ministers would still be kept in the dark." ”

Xiong Huai bowed slightly.

Entering the alchemy room, there were already several guards in the room holding wooden plates filled with glass in their hands and saluting forward.

Most of the glaze in the plate is variegated, with three colors and four colors in the majority, and there are many five-color stones in the mouth of Zhaoyu, but the colors of these five-color stones are mostly disorganized, not only not beautiful, but also a little ugly.

The most eye-catching Xiong Huai is the monochrome glass, although it has not yet achieved the effect of transparency, but it is like a beautiful jade, and it looks very pleasing to the eye.

Seeing so much glass, Xiong Huai suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

If refining one piece is a coincidence, refining two pieces is luck, refining three pieces is fate, then refining such a glass at the same time is the mastery method.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai smiled at Zhaoyu and said, "Sikong, I don't know how this glass and five-color stone are refined?" ”

Zhaoyu opened his mouth and arched his hand: "King, the minister has ordered someone to test this matter, but there is no result yet, and the minister does not dare to say anything." However, Yan Zong's disciples were imprisoned in another side room, and if the king wanted to inquire about it, he could summon his disciple Wei Xuan to ask about it. ”

Xiong Huai nodded and said, "Okay, pass on the guard, the widow wants to ask how this glass is refined." ”

After a while, a man whose clothes had been soaked with sweat and who looked extremely nervous walked in with his head down.

Zhao Yu opened his mouth and said, "Great King, this is Wei Xuan, a disciple of the Yan Sect. ”

Xiong Huai was interested when he heard this, and said: "Raise your head and let the widow see what kind of person he is, not only can he find the refining method of the glaze, but also dare to deceive the widow." ”

When Wei Xuan heard King Chu speak, he immediately raised his head tremblingly, and the sweat on his head was rising.

When Xiong Huai saw Wei Xuan's appearance, he was immediately disappointed.

This warlock not only does not have the legendary fairy wind bones, but also has a withered face, bloodshot eyes, a thin body, and a sick seedling.

When Wei Xuan saw that the king of Chu didn't like it, he yawned nervously, immediately fell to the ground, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "The king spares his life..."

Xiong Huai saw that it was so bad, and said unhappily: "Excuse me, tell the widow Yanzong how to refine the glaze, as long as other people can also refine the glaze, the widow will spare you from dying." ”

When Wei Xuan heard King Chu speak, he immediately replied happily: "Back to the king, in fact, the method of refining glaze is very simple, just like the method of refining elixir, but the main medicine of river sand is added. ”

"Elixir?"

Xiong Huai was stunned when he heard this, and immediately asked, "How did you refine the glass?" ”

When Wei Xuan heard the King of Chu ask about the specific refining process, his spirit suddenly perked up: "Back to the king, Lao Tzu said in the past: The reason why heaven and earth can last long and long is because they do not generate themselves..."

Xiong Huai frowned when he heard this, and immediately stopped: "Don't talk about these theories, just say how you refined the glass?" ”

"Yui!" Wei Xuan was frightened by the King of Chu, yawned, and replied: "King, the refining of the elixir is made with sand and stone as the main material, supplemented by cinnabar, broken iron, broken copper, lead stone, gold stone, jade, plus a large number of herbs such as tortoise shell, cinnamon branches, and spirit immortals, and burned them with fire for seven days, and the elixir is completed." ”

After Xiong Huai heard the refining method of the glass, he was stunned, smelling the smell in the air, and suddenly felt a sense of shock.

Then, when I saw Wei Xuan's appearance again, I couldn't help it anymore. Without saying anything, he held his breath, glanced at Zhaoyu, and walked out quickly.

Zhao Yu didn't know why, so he had to take someone and follow the king of Chu out of the small courtyard.

After leaving Yanzong's small courtyard far away, Xiong Huai didn't stop until he couldn't smell that smell, and he breathed rapidly.

Zhaoyu came to Xiong Huai's side and asked, "King, what's wrong?" ”

Xiong Huai slowed down, and then said: "It's not proper, it's very inappropriate, if the widow expects it to be good, then the reason why Yan Zong died suddenly must be because of refining the elixir." ”

Just now in the courtyard, when Xiong Huai heard that the cinnabar needed to be added to refining the glaze, his heart suddenly cooled half. Xiong Huai has heard that cinnabar turns into mercury when heated, which is a chronic poison. Moreover, mercury will also volatilize at room temperature, not to mention high-temperature cautery, and the human body will definitely be poisoned and die if it inhales a large amount of mercury.
