"Uncle, you said that Tai Shouxuan and I will wait here this time, so what's the matter?"

Seeing Ge Lu's back walking away, Ma Ji asked: "Could it be because of the recent rumor......"

"Don't talk much!" Ma Shou's eyes glared, "Just sit honestly and wait for Taishou to summon you." ”

"But you ...... before you come, uncle."

Ma Ji wanted to say more, but he was suddenly blocked by Ma Fu beside him, so he heard Ma Shou's son say: "I waited for this time to come over, just to listen to Taishou's orders, and by the way, I will report back the entry of several objects that Taishou explained before." ”

Ma Shou nodded yes, and then glared at Ma Ji again, and the latter reacted.

In fact, the news about the attack of Duan Xianbei has been circulating in and around the entire Dai County, and has even spread all over half of the Dai County, how can Ma Shou and the others not know?

I was talking about this before I came again, and I had some thoughts, so Ma Ji asked that, but now he was repeatedly stared at by his uncle, and then he understood, remembering that the wall has ears, but now it is in the official yamen, which is the territory of the Taishou, inside and outside the house, I don't know how many people are loyal to the Taishou, and one is accidentally heard, that is the problem.

Thinking so, his gaze involuntarily fell on the other person-

Publicization.

This is also a Mo person, and he is still related to Ma Shou and others, but after such a long period of contact, Ma Ji knows very well that this Gong Yi Hua is not a fellow traveler with himself, and his person is more like Chen Zhi's domestic servant than Mo Shi.

For example, now, they are all sitting here waiting for Chen Zhi's meeting, and the few of them seem to be much calmer, like a guest secretary, while Gonghua is nervous and expectant, waiting for the deployment of the call of the superiors.

Looking at a few people like this, Ma Ji had one thought after another in his heart-

"I just don't know, what is Chen Zhi going to see us for this time, is it related to the arrival of Duanbu? However, the few objects he set up for us looked similar to steel-making furnaces, blast furnaces, etc., and there were also ingenious places, but they were also a little too small, and there seemed to be a lack of any key objects, so that when my uncle made them, he often felt that something was wrong, and there were also big problems in terms of materials......"

While he was thinking nonsense here, Ge Lu had already seen Chen Zhi in the back hall.

However, to Ge Lu's surprise, he thought that Chen Zhi would ask him about the exploration of mineral deposits at this meeting, but he didn't expect Chen Zhi to take out a few porcelain bottles and put them on the table.

"Dao Chief, the contents of this bottle, you will not be unfamiliar with it."

Listening to Chen Zhi's words, Ge Lu's mind moved, he stepped forward, picked up the bottle, pulled out the stopper, put his nose to the mouth of the bottle and sniffed it slightly, this expression changed slightly, and then he put down the thing, turned to look at Chen Zhi, and asked: "I have heard and seen a lot of Taishou before, I thought that Taishou's ambition was already clear, but I didn't expect that you are also interested in alchemy?" The few pills in this bottle, although the taste is a little mixed, but the condition is still good. ”

Chen Zhi smiled and said: "It is worthy of being a Taoist chief, just this one looks at the face, and I can see this, I don't know what the ingredients are?" ”

"Just by relying on the nose and eyes, the poor Dao can't determine the direction, if my teacher is here, he can," the teacher in Ge Lu's mouth is the little fairy Weng Ge Hong, who is a famous figure in history, the master of Taoist Dandao, but Ge Lu, as his disciple, has also learned a lot of skills, "I can only ask about it, there is a smell of saltpeter in it, this saltpeter is an important thing for alchemy, Fan Zi Jiran mentioned it, it is not a strange thing." ”

Chen Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, I am from Pengcheng, the ancestor of the Liu family in Pengcheng, Liu Xiang, who once had the "Legend of the Immortals" handed down, talking about this thing, saying that alchemy and saltpeter are taken together, and the body is like a boy for thirty years, and the hair is red, and I am not a teenager. ”

"I see, no wonder Taishou would take out such objects, but ......" Ge Lu raised his head as he said, and asked with a calm expression, "Taishou summoned Poor Dao over, shouldn't it be for this?" I heard that recently, there are war clouds drifting in, Taishou is responsible for the safety of the entire Dai County, and he doesn't do the business of the soldiers, why do you want to talk about the matter of Dandao? Could it be that you have the heart to be born? ”

"No, I asked the Taoist chief to come over, and what I said was about the safety of Daijun, and I also need the help of the Taoist chief, but before that, I must know the ability of the Taoist chief." Chen Zhi looked like he was not afraid of offending people, and the meaning in his words was even more direct - try your catties.

Ge Lu asked simply, "Could it be related to this elixir?" ”

"That's right," Chen Zhi was not verbose, and asked very simply, "This matter is indeed related to Dan Dao, I don't know if I know the difference between saltpeter and Pu Ni?" ”

"What's so hard about that?" Ge Lu smiled and shook his head, "These two things have their own properties, and the "Shennong Materia Medica" clearly says: saltpeter, bitter and cold." The main five Tibets accumulate heat, the stomach is opened, the food is cleansed and accumulated, the old is renewed, and the evil qi is removed. Refining it is like ointment, long-term service and light body, and Pu Ni is also similar, which can accumulate six intestines, solidify and retain habits, and can turn seventy-two kinds of stones. ”

Chen Zhi praised Ge Lu's erudition and strong memory, and then asked, "Is there a difference between the two?" How to separate? ”

Ge Lu pondered for a moment, stroked his beard and said: "Many people in the world don't know the method of separation, and my door has a unique trick, and there is nothing to say, but how do you know that Taishou is not peeking at my teacher's method?" ”

Chen Zhi knew that it was normal for Ge Lu to be worried, and he said it directly, which also meant to be frank.

Many tips in this era look simple, like a layer of window paper, which can be broken when stabbed, but no one can think of it, so that it can be passed on to future generations and become a unique skill, and whether it is a hundred schools or Taoist doors, these inheritance methods are very important, even if it is a person in power, it is not easy to ask, it is taboo.

In fact, many discoveries in history were recorded in books at a later time, and before that, the method of oral transmission or transmission of ciphertext had existed for many years.

However, Chen Zhi's original intention was to test Ge Lu's knowledge, so that he could preside over the next work, because the time was urgent, and he temporarily accelerated the pace, there must be some radicals, if there is no person who knows how to follow the foot to press the formation, it is impossible to afford it, and Chen Zhi, as the core of the county, has a lot of shoulders, and has to cooperate with all parties, but it is inconvenient to personally supervise, if Ge Lu, an alchemist, can have a certain chemical foundation, it is undoubtedly the most ideal candidate.

Thinking of this, he simply spoke: "Dao Chief, don't worry that I am defrauding the Dan Fang, I only ask you, is your method of distinguishing between purple, green, bright and yellow?" ”

As soon as Ge Lu heard it, he knew that Chen Zhi really knew how to do it, so he no longer insisted, and sighed: "This method of color selection is my teacher, and it has only been realized in the past two years. ”

Chen Zhi nodded, knowing this, saltpeter and Pu Ni are similar, but the former is what Chen Zhi needs in his plan, he wants to choose a person to act on his behalf, at least he must be able to distinguish between the two, which also represents a basic cognition.

The main ingredient of saltpeter is potassium nitrate, and the main ingredient of similar Pu nitrate is sodium sulfate, when the potassium salt is burned, a purple flame is produced, and the sodium salt is bright yellow.

Chen Zhi was a librarian in his first life, and he had read this book, and in his previous life, he used the method of signing to strengthen his memory, and searched for books, and there were still details in his heart.

With this breakthrough, the next two people talked more and more speculatively, and finally Chen Zhi took out a list and handed it over.

Ge Lu took it and took a look, and saw that it was written with names such as "Jinzhou Sulfur", "Wohuang", "Flame Nitrate", "Maru", "Thousand Lacquer", "Dingfen", "Yellow Wax", "Clear Oil", "Thick Oil", "Daijun Paper" and so on, and there were four taels, seven taels, two and a half catties and so on.

He squinted his eyes, his heart jumped suddenly, he raised his eyes to look at Chen Zhi, and asked, "This Dan Fang?" ”

Chen Zhi said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to guide out step by step, but now there is no such time, although the Taoist chief configures the things on the list, the things that are needed, long ago, I asked Chen Zi to purchase all the things, and the Taoist chief is looking for minerals, and these days should also have something to discover." ”
