Chapter 67: The Taoist Priest Joins
Shuo Fang, Feng Fu
"General, a group of Taoist priests came outside, saying that they came at the invitation of the general", an iron guard reported to Feng Daiwen:
"Oh, it's here so soon, please hurry," Feng Daiwen commanded happily.
"Haha, Master Hou! We're meeting again," Feng Daiwen saw Yuan Tiangang greeting from afar with a few Taoist priests as soon as he walked into the front hall.
"Haha, the old fairy came so fast," Feng Daiwen was also very happy to see Yuan Tiangang, and greeted with a smile:
"Isn't this a story about defending the country?" Yuan Tiangang smiled and said:
"Dao Chief, please," Feng Daiwen invited.
"Thanks, excuse me, please!" Yuan Tiangang thanked him one by one:
Everyone sat down, and Yuan Tiangang said: "Lao Dao will introduce to Hou Ye, this is Li Chunfeng, the nephew of the old Taoist, who is proficient in astronomical counting, likes to refine some gadgets, and specially came with Lao Dao to listen to the story to help sort it out." ”
"I've seen Master Hou," Li Chunfeng, who was still very young, gave a Taoist one-handed salute:
Li Chunfeng, this is another famous figure, "Dao Chang is polite", Feng Daiwen nodded and replied, after all, now Feng Daiwen is the Hou Ye, if he is polite to Li Chunfeng, it will not be appropriate.
"These two are Zhongnan Mountain Qingyun, the two Taoist masters of Qingshan, who love refining golden pills, and behind them are several of their disciples." Yuan Tiangang introduced to the two Taoist priests with ruddy complexions and weak physiques: Jindan is refined by minerals and other things, and the medicine is generally called Dan and plaster, many of which are glued together with animal bones and placed on dog skin, so many are called dog skin plasters, not fakes as later generations.
"These two are the Jindan masters in Shu, and they have a lot of experience in mineral combination refining, and I heard that Hou Ye can use saltpeter to condense water into ice, so he specially brought his disciples thousands of miles to listen to Hou Ye's teachings" Yuan Tiangang waited for Qingyun and the two of them to finish their gifts, and then introduced the other two to:
"Poor Dao Xuanzhen, this is the junior brother Xuanhai, I have seen the Hou Ye" Two Taoist priests, one tall and one short, Shi Li:
"A few Taoist elders don't have to be polite, those who come are guests, please sit, please sit" Feng Daiwen said:
"Master Hou, the saltpeter ice you made is really magical, I heard that Master Hou has a lot of novel things for us to develop," Xuan Zhen took the lead in speaking:
"That's true, but Ben Hou made it clear first, about Jin Dan, maybe you have all heard of it, I don't believe that it can cure diseases, it may have an effect, but the bigger thing is the side effects, so it is not allowed to refine Jin Dan for people to take" Feng Daiwen said seriously: After speaking, he said his understanding of Jin Dan.
"Master Hou, Poor Dao wants to ask, is it because animals can't eat the refined golden pill that is why they will die, you see that my junior brother and I have been taking the pill for many years and now there is nothing to do, and the red face is full of red light" Qingyun Dao Chief asked:
"Nothing at all? Do you really think so? You can find someone who is proficient in Qihuang to see it, but why does the official see that the two of you are weak and skinny, don't you believe it? Can be carried with gold pills. Feng Daiwen said:
"Yes, yes," Qingyun was also shaken by Feng Daiwen's words, and took out a few bottles of Dan and handed them to Feng Daiwen.
Feng Daiwen ordered someone to bring two chickens and two sheep over, Feng Daiwen poured out the golden pill and smelled it, there is indeed a smell of ore, after all, blacksmiths for many years, there is a family identification method for ore, and there is a smell.
After a short time, the chickens and sheep were brought, Feng Daiwen asked people to feed half a bottle of chickens in front of them, and the sheep fed a bottle, and then let people lead and stand there.
"Okay, let's move on to the others first, just said Jindan, I'm talking about others, I think Taoism is actually a chemist, a lot of things have actually been discovered but not studied in depth, now there are two options for you, I said, you think about it, don't rush to answer me." Feng Daiwen to:
"First, what is the effect of studying the reaction of various minerals and their combinations, and what can be used for them? This is the largest department, and there will be many people who will join in the future, such as saltpeter ice, which can continue to be used after drying, why is this, this is because saltpeter absorbs the heat in the water, and you have to study whether he has other functions, but this department is confidential and cannot be revealed, so as not to be known by the enemies of the Tang Dynasty. Feng Daiwen continued:
Several people nodded frequently, both looking very interested and thinking that it should indeed be kept secret.
After everyone digested it for a while, Feng Daiwen continued: "The second department is a completely confidential department, if you join, you may live under surveillance for the rest of your life, your family and you will live in isolation for a long time in the future, and now Ben Hou has a problem that needs to be studied by people in this area." ”
"Dare to ask Hou Ye what the problem is, he is so strict." Hyun Zhen frowned and asked:
"Okay, what I said today must be kept secret, even if I don't join," Feng Daiwen thought for a while and looked at everyone seriously: After all, at this time, except for them, the rest of the room is Feng Daiwen's personal guard.
"Master Hou rest assured, the old way is a guarantee, and no one else will know about today's events." Yuan Tiangang was serious:
"The kid believes in the old immortals, but this matter is too important, if it succeeds, my Tang Dynasty is invincible in the world, opening the mountain, breaking the city is just a trivial matter, and you will also leave a name for eternity." Feng Daiwen said:
"Leave a name for the ages? It's not eternal, it seems that if this thing is successful, many people will die," Li Chunfeng opened his mouth for the first time in addition to the ceremony, his mind was flexible, and he heard Feng Daiwen's words at once.
"Yes, if it succeeds, it will rewrite history and make the world different, and many people will die under our inventions, and the enemies of the Tang Dynasty will be wiped out." Feng Daiwen glanced at Li Chunfeng meaningfully.
"Please also ask the Hou Ye to make it clear," Yuan Tiangang solemnly said:
"Old immortal, may I ask, you Taoists have a legend of palm thunder, I don't know if it's true or not?" Feng Daiwen asked a topic in vitro.
"This, Lao Dao is just ear warm, no one in the world knows, at least Lao Dao doesn't know." Yuan Tiangang thought for a moment and said:
"I'm talking about this thing that's similar to palm thunder, I know the formula, but it's not mature, what I want to study is how to increase the power, and how to use it in other aspects, and I'll introduce these people to him separately if they join in the future." Feng Daiwen to:
"Palm Thunder?" All the Taoist priests were surprised and shouted: they all looked at Feng Daiwen with wide eyes.
"Yes, you see," Feng Daiwen opened a box, took out a bamboo tube and lit it and threw it in a clay pot, took a few steps back, and told everyone to retreat a little, only Xuan Zhen took two steps forward, Feng Daiwen thought that there was no power anyway, so he didn't care,
This is the black powder made by Feng Daiwen himself, there is no power, later Feng Daiwen often followed a grandfather in the yard to take a soil dog to the mountains to hunt rabbits when he was a child, and the black powder made by the grandfather himself was used, as long as there are three kinds, saltpeter, charcoal, sulfur, and it is very fine and dried ,,,(not to mention the specifics, so as not to be harmonious, if you like it, you can find Du Niang),
"Bang," there was a muffled sound, the sound was not very loud, but the clay pot was still blown to pieces,
"Slap," Xuan Zhen was so frightened that he sat on the ground, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"Master Hou, Lao Dao joined, Lao Dao didn't have a family, Lao Dao joined." Xuan Zhen got up from the ground for a long time, and excitedly pulled Feng Daiwen and said:
"Okay, okay, Dao Chief, calm down," Feng Daiwen hurriedly agreed, after all, such a dangerous matter should be left to others to rest assured,
"Immeasurable Tianzun, it's really incredible, since the senior brother has joined, the old Taoist has also joined, the apprentices are all orphans we have adopted, those who are willing to stay, and those who are unwilling will go over and stand on the side of Uncle Qingyun", Xuanhai to:
Seeing that several apprentices didn't move, Xuanhai nodded with satisfaction...
