Chapter 118: Breaking the Golden Pill

What is Jindan?

It is a yellow medicinal gold made by smelting dansha with lead, sulfur and other raw materials. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The pre-Qin book "Shennong's Materia Medica" has a saying, "medicine makes people safe, prolongs life, ascends to heaven, and immortals", and the way of alchemy, Dansha is the first.

Not long after, Ge Hong of Wei and Jin Dynasty said in "Hug Puzi", "All plants and trees are burned to ashes, and dansha is refined into mercury, and the accumulation and change are also into dansha, and its plants and trees are far away, so it can make people live forever." ”

Not to mention the remarks of "lead and mercury knotted dansha, Geng Geng purple gold".

In Liu Chan's view, this method of inferring chemical properties based on physical properties is simply nonsense, but with the concept of people in this era, this is the correct solution.

What is Dansa? The ancients didn't know, but modern people understand that this alchemy holy object is actually red mercury sulfide, this heavy metal eats, and normal people know what will happen.

What's more, in the golden pill, there are generally not only these things, sometimes there will be some gold and silver, these strange things, magnet purple lazuli or something, as long as you think this thing is magical, you will throw it inside, and it doesn't matter whether you eat or not, it is the destiny of heaven to die, and to live is to change your life against the sky.

Ignorance, ignorance, this is Liu Chan's evaluation, but it is this ignorance that can be called the pioneer of ancient chemistry.

Liu Chan now wants to break this ignorant behavior to the right path.

Ma Husi on the side has already been embarrassed by the serious evaluation of Qingsong Daoren, but he is also a veteran Taoist who has been on the rivers and lakes for many years, and the thick-skinned people present are estimated to be invincible.

A golden pill is about two centimeters in diameter, Liu Chan took out the knife that had been prepared, divided a golden pill into two parts, took out one with water, and put it back in the Dan furnace.

At this time, Qingsong Dao found that the Dan furnace was different from what he used on weekdays, there was a detachable channel connected to the outside world, and it was closed when the alchemy was made, and Liu Chan opened it from time to time.

And the old butler came back with a worm out of nowhere at this time, that is, a mouse, of course, except for Qing Song, who noticed it, the others didn't even know when he disappeared.

The old housekeeper put the insects in a crockpot, and Liu Chan quickly closed the lid connected to the iron pipe channel, at this time, the Dan furnace and the crockpot formed an integrated environment, but the crockpot was not sealed, and there were several small holes at the bottom, in order to leave oxygen for the insects to breathe.

When everyone was confused, Liu Chan lit the small kiln under the Dan furnace, and the rising flame made Liu Chan, who was already exposed to the sun, instantly have a few more drops of sweat on his forehead.

If Zhang Man was here, he would probably take out a scarf to wipe it for him.

Liu Chan shook his head and put aside the daydream that suddenly appeared, and then stood aside and waited quietly.

"Young Master Zen, this is ...... What are you doing? Qingyun didn't have the concentration of his senior brother, so he couldn't stand it for a while, and asked in Qingsong's helpless eyes.

Liu Chan shook his head and didn't speak, but the smile on his face became more and more inexplicable in Qingyun's eyes.

Inexplicably underwhelmed.

Qingyun, who hasn't been down the mountain for a long time, can't help but sigh that the young talents are so temperamental now? Where has the Han family's tradition of respecting the elderly gone?

After another moment, Liu Chan estimated the time, and the effect of dragging it out any longer would not be good, so he held his breath and stepped forward, and waved his hand at the same time, asking Ma Huhei and the old housekeeper who were about to come forward to help to step back.

Under the gaze of Qingyun and Qingsong, Liu Chan extinguished the fire source, and then completely closed the inner mouth of the pipe of the Dan furnace, and then removed the pipe, quickly pulled out the insects in the crockpot, and then threw the pipes and crockpots into the cold water tank that had been prepared, and then walked towards the people behind him with the insects.

At this time, everyone found out that the insect was alive, but in fact it had begun to convulse all over its body, salivating at the corners of its mouth, and its lower body was dripping with yellow turbid liquid.

After everyone watched for a moment, he suddenly kicked his limbs and died no longer alive.

"This ......" Before Liu Chan could speak, Qingsong's face changed, of course, the same change in face, as well as Qingyun and Ma Huhei.

Until now, they still don't understand what Liu Chan means, which is clearly saying that this Taoist Jin Dan is completely poison!

Looking at everyone's hesitant expressions, Liu Chan smiled lightly.

He knew that just this could not completely let these Taoists understand what the gold pill they were refining on a daily basis was, but this was only the first experiment, and he himself was trying to see how much mercury was contained in this gold pill.

Next, after experiencing the two experiments of drinking pill water and soaking in scorching pill water, the faces of the three Taoist people present were so dark that they couldn't be darker, and even Ding Xun, an old housekeeper who was standing on the side, couldn't help but twitch a few times on his face......

"What does that prove?" At this moment, the originally silent atmosphere was interrupted by Qingyun who suddenly spoke, "Man is the spirit of all things, how can it be compared to the rats?" ”

His voice was hoarse, as if he was enduring great suffering. It's like the last passerby who sees an oasis in the desert, but in the end he finds that it is just a mirage.

Of course, Liu Chan understands the collapse of this consistent belief that has been broken, just like the feeling when the Qing Dynasty was broken by the great powers with strong ships and cannons, and broke the pride of belonging to the Heavenly Empire.

Who knew that before he was ready to speak, Qing Song was one step ahead of him.

"Qingyun!" A reassuring reprimand came out of Qing Song's mouth, and at this time he no longer looked like the senior brother who had been protecting his junior brother, but a master who had truly inherited the Dao system.

"Wrong is wrong, the way of heaven rotates, the way of self-existence, it is nothing more than our last study and understanding of mistakes, know the mistake and change, and it is not difficult to build the avenue again!"

His voice was as tired as when he learned that the Celestial Master of the Ascending Sect was in fact sitting and dying.

Qingyun, who was reprimanded by the elder brother in charge, blushed and wanted to argue about something, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't say a word.

As for Ma Huhei, Liu Chan found that this guy had returned to normal at some point.

"I mean, the old guy was really sick at the beginning, but he didn't die like this, and now I think it's mostly caused by the gold pills he wants to eat to continue his life, but I didn't expect that this gold pill that everyone has been competing for since ancient times is precisely the most deadly poison." Ma Husi sighed in his heart, but he thought that he would have to meet the young master, otherwise when he was old, he would probably have to follow in the footsteps of his master.
