Liu Yuanlu continued: "When the second son took out the small Buddha statue, I felt a little troublesome, that Buddha statue is a talisman with the blessing of Buddhism, which should be used by his ancestors for him to protect himself, the workmanship is fine, and it is absolutely extraordinary." If it had been dissolved, it might have been okay at the time. But if the second son is sober-minded, or his elders blame him, maybe there will be even more trouble. So I'd rather be misunderstood, I'd rather be beaten than dissolve it. ”

"That means you could have melted the gold away, right?"

"Yes, I've noticed a long time ago that if you mix the proportions right, you can melt gold; But there is a problem with this, that is, if the acid I make can dissolve gold, then silver can't; Conversely, if you can melt silver, then you can't melt gold, which is a bit strange. ”

Abu looked at him and said very seriously: "You do have a strong talent in alchemy, and you have reached such a height just by practicing and groping, which is really admirable." It's just that I don't know how the immortal chief understands the difficulty of alchemy? ”

At this moment, there was movement in the room next to him, it turned out that Wu Ye woke up, Yun Niang hurriedly got up to take care of him, asked him for some food, and ate in the next room, where the two talked in a low voice.

Abu continued to talk with Daochang Liu, only to hear Liu Yuanlu sigh: "The journey of alchemy is like being lost in the mountains alone, and I don't know where the road is. It seems to be in a labyrinth, there seem to be a lot of roads ahead, but most of them are forks, and if you want to find the right way, you must do experiments to go through those forks one by one. And experimenting is a game of burning a lot of money. In the past, my father had some savings, but after a long period of alchemy experiments, most of the money was used to buy various materials, and there was not much left, so in the end I ended up in such a field. If you just want to be a rich man, you will definitely be more comfortable than now. Then he smiled wryly.

"Since the Immortal Chief has this opinion on alchemy, have you ever regretted it?"

Liu Yuanlu thought for a moment and said firmly: "No, although I stand out among my fellow practitioners, I know that the knowledge I have mastered is only a drop in the ocean compared to the vast alchemy. I am willing to work hard and spend a lot of effort to explore, so I decided to go to Tianzhu to see if there can be new progress in alchemy. ”

"There is a road in the book mountain, and there is no end to the hard work of learning the sea. It seems that the immortal chief is also a strong-willed person! ”

"These two sentences of Engong are simple and concise, and the artistic conception is far-reaching, which is exactly what I think in my heart." Liu Yuanlu couldn't help but admire.

Abu secretly screamed ashamed in his heart, until now, Han Yuhan's mother may not have been born yet, so let's borrow his sentence first. Then he coughed lightly and said to Liu Yuanlu: "Actually, I feel that the journey of alchemy may not be as complicated and unfathomable as the immortal chief imagined. I have also read a book on this subject before, which clearly pointed out some laws, as long as you master the rules, you can clearly predict the results of experiments. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Liu Yuanlu's eyes light up, flashing with excitement, and said in a trembling voice: "En...... Engong, is this book still there, I beg Engong to take a look at the poor road, I will be more careful, and I will return it to you after reading it. ”

"I can't find it anymore."

When Liu Yuanlu heard Abu's answer, the body that had grown up just now was like a skin pricked by a needle, and it suddenly softened again, which showed that he was extremely disappointed in his heart.

"However, I basically have mastered this book, if the immortal chief is interested, I can talk to the immortal chief when I have time."

"Okay, more kindness, then tell me now."

"Then what's the matter, after all, the immortal chief has just been injured, and he needs to be carefully recuperated, and when your body is better, let's talk about it slowly and in detail." I'll have to help the immortal chief re-strengthen it in a while, otherwise your legs will be tied together and you won't be able to walk." "Abu Xin said that you have to take your time when fishing, anyway, I won't let you run, just bait little by little.

At this time, Liu Yuanlu's heart was like there were several little paws scratching and scratching, and the feeling of seeing Baoshan and not being able to take it was really uncomfortable, but what Abu said was also a real please, if he didn't untie his legs again, he could only pee his pants for a while. He thought to himself that when he was well in the future, he would use all the tricks of Sampo and kowtow, and he would also beg Abu to explain those principles to himself.

Abu found two wooden planks and re-strengthened Liu Yuanlu's left leg to prevent it from being misplaced and deformed. In the middle of the binding process, Liu Yuanlu, who was in pain, couldn't help grinning his teeth again, but when he saw Wu Ye and Yun Niang, who ran over to see the strangeness, he could only endure the pain and asked Abu if Engong could reveal some knowledge in this area to him first.

Abu said that the way of alchemy is like building a tall building and building blocks, after the reaction of the substance, the components inside are rearranged and combined, and a new substance is generated, and in the process of reaction, there may be luminescence, heat, smoke and other phenomena. If we can accurately grasp the composition of the constituent substances, it will be possible to predict the results of the upcoming reactions, and there are about 170 constituents of substances that are currently known.

Although Abu said a few words, for Liu Yuanlu, it would be like a sudden opening of a door. On this road, he is extremely rich in practical knowledge, and after a little thought, he praises it while hitting it, and his heart is even more thirsty for knowledge, and he can't restrain himself.

Abu ignored his horse, he went down to Alimu and asked him if he would like to take care of the Taoist's daily life, and the price was double the usual price. Alimu immediately agreed, and he couldn't close his mouth.

Then Abu borrowed a pen and paper and drew a cane, and at the same time attached the size and precautions to it, and asked Alimu to help make a pair, Alimu wrote them down one by one, and handed them to a small friend to find a local carpenter for help.

Abu and Alimu came to Liu Yuanlu's room together and told Liu Yuanlu to rest well. In addition to solving physiological problems, don't move around at will, everything is done by Alimu, and Liu Yuanlu inevitably thanked him again.

After another two days, under Alimu's care, Liu Yuanlu was able to walk slowly with a cane. Now the food I eat is nutritious, and my face is no longer as gray as when I first met. In addition to accompanying Yun Niang and Wu Ye to Li Yan's house twice, Abu accompanied Liu Yuanlu to chat every day.

Since Wu Ye got the white jade flute, he has really studied it seriously, and now he can play a tone that is not too harsh, it seems that the power of role models is endless, and it is estimated that Li Yan's last blow had a very profound impact on Wu Ye. Although Yun Niang is not very familiar with the flute and flute instruments, the rhythm is the same, and when Li Yan is not there, she can also guide Wu Yeyi and Er. Li Yan also heard about this Daoist Liu Yuanlu, and finally made an appointment to wait until the mid-autumn of August to invite Daoist Liu to enjoy the moon together.

In the course of the chat, Abu explained the composition of all things and the knowledge of primary chemistry to Liu Yuanlu, and briefly explained the concept of atomic weight to him. He couldn't help but sigh: "Buddhism preaches one flower and one world, and Sumeru contains mustard seeds, which feels similar to the truth explained by Brother Abu." It seems that Buddhism is profound, and it still contains a lot of philosophies. ”

Now he is no longer called Abu En Gong, but he is impressed by the knowledge that Abu has passed on, and he calls Abu a sir. Abu disagreed, insisting that we should learn and progress together, and finally he called Abu a brother. Abu no longer calls him Immortal, and directly calls him Brother Liu, after all, he is not a serious Taoist priest.

"Brother Liu doesn't need to make a fuss, you will know this knowledge later, it is all the most basic, and with the help of an altitude microscope or special detection equipment, many details of the substance can be observed."

During this period, Abu also chatted and invited Liu Yuanlu to go back with him to do alchemy research, as for the funds and materials, he didn't need to worry about it, he just had to concentrate on research, and at the same time, there were hundreds of Mengtong, and he could teach one or two when he had time. Liu Yuanlu naturally happily agreed, he could concentrate on research, without thinking about the materials, and he could follow Abu step by step along the road of alchemy, which was simply his dream of dreams. He no longer thinks about the trip to Tianzhu now, nor does he bother with the book that Abu said, Abu itself is a living alchemy book, and Abu's occasional words can make him think and gain.

Finally, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, when the sun was turning west, Abu and the others went out of the house. Because of Liu Yuanlu's inconvenient legs, he called two more ox carts and began to go to Li Yan's house.
