After hesitating, Daoist Qingyun admitted, "Naturally. ”

After eating it for so many years, it's really lucky, Han Rui muttered in his heart, and continued: "Then what can you feel in your body...... Abnormal. ”

"Anomaly, what anomaly?" Qingyun was puzzled.

If he said it directly, he would definitely turn his face, so Han Rui changed his way and said with a smile: "Elixir, isn't there some magical effect, such as being as light as a swallow, turning over rivers and seas, and flying away from the sky......

After listening to a few words, a black line immediately appeared in the head of Qingyun Daoist, if it is really so powerful, the palace treasury has already traveled, why let the powerful worship, the kid really dares to think, and it is not easy to fool, he slandered in his heart, and explained in his mouth: "Han Gongzi, you are thinking badly, ordinary pills, not so magical, only the elixir has such an effect, the food soars into immortals, just supernatural powers, what is it, you can even turn stones into gold." ”

Immediately realizing that this was a temptation, Daoist Qingyun hurriedly said: "Young Master Han, when it comes to turning stones into gold, Poor Dao also has some experience......

I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I didn't expect that the poor road also deceived the world, everything is for the sake of the elixir avenue, but afterwards the poor road will compensate for it, Qingyun Taoist sighed in his heart, but his belief became more and more firm.

"Didn't you say that this is the magic power of the immortal family, why did the Taoist suddenly know." Han Rui said with a smile, don't say it, the ancient alchemy only has two purposes, one is to refine the elixir and look forward to immortality, and the other is to use ordinary metals to refine gold and silver to obtain huge wealth.

Hearing Han Rui's hidden ridicule, Qingyun Daoist's old face was slightly red, and it disappeared in an instant, his face was slightly straight, and he said solemnly: "The so-called Tao is not passed on lightly, if it weren't for the fate of the poor Dao and the son, it would not be easily leaked, if he had taken the pill for many years, if it didn't have the slightest effect, how could the poor Dao ignite the fire in the air just now." ”

Han Rui smiled silently, just looked at Daoist Qingyun, this little trick, not to mention the Taoist priest who subdues demons and catches ghosts, just find a monk who often recites scriptures and practices, and it is estimated that he will also do this trick.

cough, Qingyun Daoist also thought of it, and hurriedly added: "Other Daoists, just light the rune paper seal book, but the poor Dao can use water to make fire, naturally better than them......"

Waving his hand slightly, Han Rui asked, "Dao Chief, can you show me the gourd 'water' just now?" ”

How can people fool around at will, they can coax a lot of money, but it doesn't work when they get here, Qingyun Taoist self-reflected, heard Han Rui's request, but was embarrassed, when his thoughts were irritable, he vaguely heard Han Rui ask in a whisper, Qingyun Taoist was in a trance, puzzled: "No oil, no oil?" ”

Sure enough, he was not a traverser, otherwise he wouldn't have mixed so badly, he actually became a Taoist priest, and he didn't want to take alchemy to eat, inexplicably relieved, Han Rui smiled: "The Taoist is well-informed, and he just asked you for something." ”

"What's the matter?" Daoist Qingyun asked, feeling strange in his heart, not used to Han Rui changing the topic in such a jump.

"Dao Chief, have you ever seen a black stone that can be burned?" Han Rui asked casually, but his eyes quietly paid attention to Daoist Qingyun's reaction.

Slightly frightened in his heart, Daoist Qingyun remained silent and muttered: "A stone that can be ignited...... The Han book records that Yuzhang County produces stones, can be burned as salaries, the water is injected with clouds, there are mountains in the north of Quci 200 miles, the night is firelight, the day is said to be smoke, people take this mountain charcoal, smelt this mountain iron, and Hengchong 36 countries use, presumably what Han Gongzi said, is this kind of charcoal. ”

Wow, knowing so much detail, it can be seen that a lot of effort has been put in, Han Rui smiled: "It should be that right." ”

"Then Childe is the right person, this kind of stone, but Poor Dao has seen it." Qingyun laughed and said: "And it's nearby, if the son has walked around in the nearby mountain village, there is no need to ask the poor road for advice." ”

Han Rui asked curiously: "In this way, the people in the nearby mountain villages have already begun to use coal...... Uh, that kind of charcoal fire for heating? ”

"That's true." Qingyun nodded and asked, "Why did Childe inquire about this?" ”

"It's winter, the preparation of charcoal at home is insufficient, and the dry firewood in the capital has risen by 30%, which is really ......" Han Rui looked ashamed, and arched his hand and said: "I vaguely remember, it seems that there is this kind of charcoal, which accumulates in the mountains, abounds, and is very cheap, thank you for the guidance of the Taoist." ”

Hmph, as soon as I heard it, I knew it was an excuse, who believed who was a nerd, Qingyun Taoist snorted haha, and said that it was just a trivial matter, no need to be polite, and then, the two of you look at me, I look at you, silent, for a long time, Qingyun raised his head and observed the tiles on the roof, Han Rui lowered his head, boringly counting the lines of his clothes, and the atmosphere in the room was very weird.

For a long time, Han Rui couldn't hold it back, coughed lightly, Qingyun was secretly proud, little fox, no matter how cunning he was, he couldn't fight an experienced hound dog, but he wanted to see what medicine you sold in the gourd, at this time, he could be considered to have figured it out, Han Rui had no interest in what alchemy and becoming an immortal was, but he came to ask him, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Han Rui begged, "Dao Chief, where is that kind of coal, can you take me to see it." ”

Glancing at Han Rui seriously, Daoist Qingyun agreed with a smile, and did not hesitate, he directly led Han Rui out of the door, he didn't believe it, the little fox would behave such a strange behavior for no reason.

In the past two days, the weather has cleared, and the sun has come out, but the snow has not melted, and when I go out of the door, I look at the mountains and fields all over the white color, but occasionally there will be green trees dotted, in the ice and snow, there is a little more vitality, and it is also interesting to see such a landscape.

"Dao Chief, is the place far away?" Han Rui asked, ready to call the servants to lead the horse out.

Qingyun pointed slightly at the finger and said casually: "It's not far, it's there." ”

Wangshan ran a dead horse, originally Han Rui wanted to ride a horse, but Qingyun insisted on walking, so he went with him, didn't think about walking for a while, crossed a mountain, and slowly walked to the position of the mountain col, Qingyun picked up the ground with his feet a few times, and said with a strange smile: "This is it." ”

Yes, there is a coal mine in the col not far from Han Rui's house, so Qingyun is so surprised, extremely doubting whether Han Rui is looking for his own happiness, the reason why he is not sure is because Han Rui behaved too realistically, as if he really didn't know about it.

God knows, Han Rui really didn't know, looked at the raw coal piled up in the snow, and sighed, could this be the so-called dark under the lamp, there is a treasure hidden in front of his house, and he actually wants outsiders to tell him.

Wait, the coal mine is here, then...... Han Rui hurriedly summoned the servants and asked softly, "These mountains should be our family." ”

The servant's answer must be very, the mountain and forest contract sent by the eldest grandson Wuji has been filed with the Chang'an County Ya, and has been recognized by the government and the court, this is Han Rui's private property, that is, the emperor is here, there is no reasonable reason, and it cannot be said that it will be recovered.

The eldest grandson Wuji's gift was even heavier than he imagined, Han Rui was stunned, maybe he was too excited, but he had a feeling of hitting the head with gold, dizzy, and at a loss.

Fortunately, Qingyun next to him would not let him continue to be dazed, and shouted: "Master Han." ”

"What." After a trance, Han Rui came back to his senses and smiled: "...... Daoist, what do you command? ”

"I didn't dare to tell the order, I just hoped that Han Gongzi would tell me honestly, what is the use of looking for this kind of coal?" Qingyun asked, staring at Han Rui with a pair of eyes, and if he noticed that what he said was untrue, he immediately brushed his sleeves and left.

After hesitating, Han Rui asked, "Daoist, do you think that if these coals are transported to the capital to be sold, will anyone be willing to spend money to buy them?" ”

I couldn't see any clues, Qingyun's heart moved slightly, thought about it for a moment, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that it will disappoint the son, the charcoal fireworks are rich, and there is a peculiar smell, ordinary people can use it occasionally, and the rich and honest people must be disdainful." ”

It makes sense, because this is raw coal, it has not been refined, the smell must not smell good, and maybe it contains toxic substances, and Han Rui is also very helpless, he is from a liberal arts background, and he only has a superficial understanding of chemistry and physics, knowing that coal mines need coking, the problem is that what are the specific steps, but he is blind.

However, he didn't understand, someone knew, Han Rui glanced at it, thinking seriously, groaning, pondering, and speculating...... Halfway through, Han Rui smiled and said, "Dao Chief, it's windy, maybe it's going to snow, please go to the cold house to take shelter." ”

"Thank you Han Gongzi for your kindness, but it's getting dark, and it's time for Poor Dao to leave." Qingyun politely refused, but his footsteps did not move, he had already guessed a few points about Han Rui's intentions, but he didn't understand it clearly and thoroughly, and his heart was itchy, how could he leave easily, now he just wanted to get away with it.

"It's rare for the Taoist to come to my house as a guest, how can I leave easily." Han Rui said enthusiastically: "By the way, I haven't officially asked the Taoist for guilt yet, so let's stay tonight, so that I can talk about my heart and show my sincerity in apology." ”

Why didn't you say anything about pleading sins just now, but now you are offering your courtesy, what is the reason? Qingyun racked his brains to guess, puzzled, and hesitated, not knowing whether to leave with his sleeves or go with him to find out.

Sensing Qingyun's hesitation, Han Rui's eyes rolled a few times, and he smiled: "By the way, some time ago, I met Daoist Xiyin in Jingyunguan in the capital, and she ......."

Qingyun's face changed slightly, and he asked urgently, "What's wrong with her?" ”

The distance between the Laojun Hall and the Pilgrimage Palace is so close, but Qingyun Taoist priest does not know Li Xiyin's situation, the relationship between the father and daughter is really worth studying, Han Rui pondered, but the answer was not slow, and said with a smile: "She is very good, but she is a little bored, as if it is for the ......"

"For what?" Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask.

If I really don't know, then it's easy to do, Han Rui took the opportunity to say: "It's a long story, it's better to go back to the house with me and talk about it slowly." ”

"In that case, what to do, let's go." Qingyun was very simple and went first, although he knew that this was Han Rui's little trick, but his daughter's matter was more important, as for the rest, I will talk about it later.

Han Rui responded, hurriedly followed, couldn't help but turn around and look at the black stone, with a smile on his face, in his imagination, coal was just an appetizer, but the real meal was......
