Chapter 451: Hundred Poison Pill
When Cao Shuo left the Fire Dance Camp, Zuo Ci rubbed his wrists and followed closely behind him.
"Aren't you a god?" Glancing at him, Cao Shuo said, "After being tied by a rope for a short while, is it possible that your wrist will hurt too?" ”
"Look at what Childe said." Zuo Ci said with a shy face: "I am an immortal in front of others, but in front of my son, I am not even a fart." What kind of little trick of mine hasn't been seen through by Childe? ”
"Speaking of which, you still have some real skills." Cao Shuo said, "Go back and teach your breath-holding technique to the people I assigned." ”
"What did Childe ask people to learn from that?" Zuo Ci said: "Except for pretending to be dead, it is useless at all. ”
"It's only a good thing for you to play dead, but for my men, sometimes it's life-threatening." Cao Shuo asked, "Could it be that you still want to hide it?" ”
"How dare you!" Zuo Ci smiled: "If the son wants to learn, I will teach everything." ”
"Don't run around in the future, just follow me." Cao Shuo said: "Originally, I thought you would be useless except for cheating, but I didn't expect to make smoke bombs." ”
"What are smoke grenades?" Zuo Ci looked dazed.
"It's the kind of thing that emits smoke when you escape." Cao Shuo said: "It's also a little useful. ”
"What is this?" Zuo Ci said: "I can still let people chase and look at me in front, but chase farther and farther." ”
"What's the trick?" Cao Shuo asked with a smile.
"If Childe wants to know, I must know everything." Zuo Ci said with a smile: "It's all some tricks. ”
The two of them talked and came to Guo Jia's residence.
A guard who followed behind Cao Shuo stepped forward, grabbed the knocker and knocked a few times.
The door opened, and out of it came a squire.
Seeing that it was Cao Shuo coming, the attendant hurriedly greeted: "Childe! ”
"Bonghyo is not there?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Alchemy in the backyard." The attendant said, "Childe, please come in, and I'll go to Tongyu." ”
"Don't be careful, take us to see it." Cao Shuo instructed his attendants.
The attendant answered, let Cao Shuo and the others into the courtyard, and led them to the backyard.
Guo Jia's Dan room is in the corner of the backyard.
Although Cao Shuo has been here many times, he has never been to the Danfang.
The attendant led them around and around several paths, and Cao Shuo saw a stone-built hut in the distance.
"Childe, that's it in front." Seeing the hut, the attendant said to Cao Shuo.
"Stand down." Cao Shuo said: "Let's go by ourselves!" ”
The attendant stepped back.
Cao Shuo walked to the hut with Zuo Ci and a few guards.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, fires were usually made with hay or dead branches.
When you burn hay or dead branches, the smell will inevitably overflow.
Outside the hut, Cao Shuo didn't smell the smell of hay or dead branches burning.
Looking at Zuo Ci, Cao Shuo asked, "What kind of fire do you usually use for alchemy?" ”
"Carbon, of course." Zuo Ci said: "The firewood and hay don't burn for long, and the stove is not hot enough to refine the elixir at all. ”
Coal has been widely used since before the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially in the forging industry, where blacksmiths and coppersmiths would use coal to smelt metals.
He just didn't expect that alchemy would also use coal with a relatively long burning time and a higher flame temperature.
No wonder Guo Jia's Danfang did not emit the smell of burning plants and trees.
When he arrived at the door of the room, Cao Shuo instructed the guards: "Go and knock on the door." ”
The guard stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.
After a while, the door opened, and a grizzled Guo Jia appeared at the door.
Unlike Cao Shuo in the past, Guo Jia looked very embarrassed at this time.
Not to mention the thin soot on his head, his face was also smeared with black toner.
"Childe!" Seeing Cao Shuo standing outside the door, Guo Jia was stunned: "Why are you here?" ”
"I promised Guo Gong to find someone for you to guide you in alchemy, of course you have to do it." Cao Shuo looked at Zuo Ci and said, "This is Mr. Zuo Ci, Guo Gong should have heard of him." ”
Zuo Ci was particularly famous among the warlocks, and Guo Jia had certainly heard of him.
Not only had he heard of it, he had seen it.
It's just that Cao Shuo was present, and Guo Jia didn't immediately greet Zuo Ci.
Cao Shuo introduced, and Guo Jiacai arched his hand to Zuo Ci: "Could it be that Gongzi asked Mr. to draw up a Dan prescription for me?" ”
"Childe wants me to come, how dare I not come?" Zuo Ci replied and asked, "Can Gong Guo show me the Danfang?" ”
"Go into the Dan room and say." Guo Jia made way for Cao Shuo and Zuo Ci.
Entering the Dan room, Cao Shuo saw a huge Dan furnace placed in the middle of the room at a glance.
There was still a raging fire burning in the Dan furnace.
Standing outside and not smelling, when he entered the Dan room, Cao Shuo smelled a faint medicinal fragrance.
"Is the elixir almost ready?" Cao Shuo asked.
"It's coming!" Guo Jia said: "At this time tomorrow, this furnace of elixir will be completed." ”
"When Gong Guo is away, who will help take care of it?" Cao Shuo said: "The Danfang is lit on fire at any time, and it is impossible to leave people. ”
"I have a few attendants, and they also know the method of alchemy." Guo Jia said: "Let them take care of me when I am not there, if you follow Cao Gong on the expedition, the pill can only be temporarily refined." ”
Taking out the prescription of the elixir, Guo Jia handed it to Zuo Ci: "Mr. Fulao can help take a look." ”
After browsing the recipe, Zuo Ci's brows furrowed slightly, and he said with a very solemn face: "Who gave Guo Gong this Dan prescription?" ”
"I figured it out myself." Guo Jia said: "After eating the refined pill, I really feel refreshed......
"If you eat too much of this kind of pill, I'm afraid that it won't be able to prolong your life, but it won't be good for Guo Gong." On the way here, Cao Shuo explained to Zuo Ci and asked him to do everything possible to persuade Guo Jia to refine the pill without lead and mercury, and to deceive all year round, of course Zuo Ci knew what to say.
Sure enough, Guo Jia was taken aback and asked Zuo Ci, "Sir, what does this recipe think is wrong?" ”
"It's not that there's anything wrong with it, it's that it doesn't work at all." Zuo Ci said: "Many medicinal materials in Guo Gong's prescription restrain each other, although you will feel refreshed when you eat such an elixir, it will be fatal after a long time. There is another saying about the elixir refined by Guo Gong......"
"What's that?" The words came out of Zuo Ci's mouth, and Guo Jia was a little panicked.
"This elixir is called the Hundred Poison Pill." Zuo Ci said: "If Guo Gong has an enmity with someone, he can send the pill over, take it for a year or two, and the person who takes the medicine will die!" ”
Zuo Ci's words made cold sweat break out on Guo Jia's forehead.
He had been taking this elixir for a long time.
Glancing at Cao Shuo gratefully, Guo Jia said: "Fortunately, Gongzi invited Mr., otherwise I wouldn't know that I had hurt myself!" ”
"It's still too late." Zuo Ci asked, "Guo Gong, do you have any pen and ink?" ”
"Yes!" Guo Jia ran to the low table in the Danfang and said to Zuo Ci: "Please sit down, sir, I will personally serve the pen and ink!" ”
