It's getting late, and now there is no entertainment in this place, Zhao Ta has to maintain the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Seeing that Xilin went to the main hall to check the incense candles before going to bed, he sent a brazier to the two small yellow doors according to Zhao Ta's instructions, and when he entered the house, the light in the inner room was extinguished, and the prince had already slept, he cleaned up a place on the soft couch and lay down in his clothes, and after a while, he snored, he was tired enough today.

Zhao Ta did not lie down in the inner room, he sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, inhaled and exhaled, exhaled true qi from the mud pill palace under the Tianmu and Queqiao, after going down the heavy building, it was divided into two to both shoulders, along the inside of the shoulders to the palms and fingers, and then from the fingertips through the back of the hand along the outside of the arm to the confluence of Tiantu, down along the Ren vein to the lower dantian, and then along the belt vein around the body for a week, respectively from the left and right ring jumping acupoints to the outside of the legs to the Yongquan acupoint, open the Yongquan acupoint to discharge sick gas and turbidity; Inhale the aura of the earth from the spring, go up along the inside of the leg after the big toe of the foot, meet at the perineum, cross the lower magpie bridge, go up the tail, pass the life gate, the spine, the jade pillow, and go up to the mud pill to stop for a while, at this time I feel that the mud pill opens, and the true qi enters, so that the cycle is completed, and then the cycle is repeated.

About an hour later, Zhao Ta slowly collected the exercises, and used his mind to concentrate his true qi in the lower dantian, this set of exercises was a comrade-in-arms who was proficient in the Bajiquan training team in his previous life, and it was taught to him between trainings, but they were together for a short time, and he only learned the recuperation skills and a set of shelves, which were the foundations.

This set of internal power can regulate the body, solidify the internal organs, regulate qi and blood, nourish the spirit, step by step, increase the power, it also contains a set of auxiliary skills, it is said that the eyes can see small objects after a long practice, and the eyes can see objects clearly at night, and the ears can hear the subtle sounds around them. Now he is just using this set of exercises to enhance his physique, today's events make him very annoyed, in ancient times, he couldn't pull the gong, he couldn't hold a knife and gun, not to mention making meritorious contributions, even survival would be threatened, he had to practice his body, at least he had to be ready to run for the 'troubled times'!

Seeing that he slept very well all night, the prince actually regarded himself as a relative, so that he got a little comfort in the palace with weak human feelings, when he woke up, he found that he was covered with the prince's quilt, and the coals in the brazier were red, which seemed to be made by the prince when he got up at night. Seeing that Xi secretly blamed himself for sleeping too hard at night, he hurriedly got up, there was no one in the inner room, and he hurriedly went out to see that the prince was walking in the courtyard according to what Meng Tao taught yesterday.

Seeing that Xi stopped the little yellow door that was about to be sprinkled and cleaned, he didn't let them disturb the prince's practice, and he quietly stood aside. Zhao Ta tried to maintain the correct posture, the muscles on his body trembled suddenly, his legs trembled like chaff, and the top of his head was covered with a layer of heat, he really wanted to stand up straight and move, but he knew that he had to pass this level, until a stick of incense, his physical strength reached the limit, and Zhao Ta got up.

"Second master, don't be tired, take your time, your body is still weak!" Seeing that Zhao Ta had finished his work, he hurriedly stepped forward to support him and wiped his sweat with a silk scarf, and said distressedly.

"If you see that you are happy, you have to pay a price for everything, grit your teeth and get through!" Zhao Tan said with a smile as he moved his sore legs and feet.

······

The day of fasting is very lonely, after washing Zhao Ta put on incense again, sat in the main hall for a while, bored in the courtyard twice, I don't know what to do again, sit on the stone bench under the tree in a daze.

"Second master, let's go to Qingyun's Danfang and see what's fun?" Seeing Xi leaned over and whispered. Idle is also idle, Zhao Ta did not hesitate to follow Jianxi to the Dan room in the apse, the backyard came a lot of times, but he never entered the Dan room, that is the forbidden place Qingyun does not allow anyone to approach, it is still full of mystery for him, and now that Qingyun has run, he can just take a look.

Seeing Xi walking in front, he carefully pushed down the door, and the door opened with a 'squeak', the door was not locked, but it was hidden, and the black hole inside couldn't see what was there. Fortunately, he brought a flint with him and lit the flint to light the candles in the house. Zhao Tacai saw the inside of the Danfang clearly, the room is 3 zhang long and about 1.6 zhang wide, the walls are smooth with mud inside and outside, solid and tight, the position of the doors and windows is due east and south, and it is very tight and does not leak a trace of light after being closed.

In the center of the Dan room, there is a Dantai about eight inches high, more than two feet wide, there is a stove below, there is a Dan furnace on it, charcoal and some bottles and jars and some alchemy tools are piled up around, there is a soft couch in the corner, a low table, a few books are messily thrown there, that is a place to rest, alchemy needs a long time, it is said that there is a high level of Taoism only once a year out of Dan, the refined pill is eaten, and it flies directly into an immortal. ,

Zhao Ta disagreed with these legends, alchemy in this sealed Dan room, smoky and burning, day and night, no silicosis, medium gas, what kind of fatigue syndrome has to say that the Buddha blessed, no, it should be the blessing of Taishang Laojun. He picked up a copy and flipped through it, it turned out to be Qingyun's alchemy notes, which recorded in detail the experience of each of his alchemy, it should be first-hand information, such an important thing is gone, it seems that Qingyun is indeed in a hurry!

'Ahh

Zhao Ta knew that these alchemy priests were called 'chemical pioneers' in the history of modern history, they dared to put anything into the Dan furnace, I don't know what strange things Lu Dao made up, and then they dared to eat it in their stomachs, and then they 'soared'. Seeing this, he knew that he was overjoyed, and quickly snatched the jar from his hand, closed the lid, opened the doors and windows, and let the air circulate to dispel the strange smell in the house!

"Damn, Qingyun's bull's nose ran away, and he hurt people, let me catch him, I have to take off his pants and spank!" Miki snorted and cursed.

"Hehe, who made you toss around, this time you will suffer!"

"Second master, I just want to see if he has any elixirs to refine Lang, let's live a long life after eating it, who knew that the things in this jar are so choking!" Seeing that Xi wiped his face, he said a little angrily.

When the strange smell in the room dissipated, Zhao Ta saw the note that was thrown on the ground in a hurry just now, and his heart moved, and he quickly picked it up. Qingyun ran away, and the source of his red phosphorus was cut off, and if the refining method was recorded in the notes, then he would no longer have to worry about not being able to get it. Thinking of this, Zhao Ta was a little excited, he hurriedly opened his notes and carefully searched page by page.

This notebook has obviously not been organized, and it is written in a very messy manner, which is written in the vernacular, Rao is that he can recite the chemical element table backwards, but Qingyun doesn't know what to do, Zhao Ta spent a long time working hard, and finally found these sentences: Qingbai stone, white sand mixed with charcoal powder, into the Dan furnace, the furnace is heated until the ding turns red, and the dark red fine powder can be obtained, and it is hammered and fried.

"That's it, but what is Qingbai Stone, white sand and charcoal powder are literally easy to understand, but there are too many blue and white stones, I don't know which kind of Lu Dao is?" Although he found it, his heart was also half cold, could he be so unlucky, did he have to recapture Qingyun Lao Dao Zhao Ta was a little annoyed.

"Second master, what's wrong?" Seeing that Zhao Ta's face changed several times, he was happy and worried, and asked with concern.

"This old guy doesn't indicate what kind of stone it is, writing it is equivalent to writing it in vain!" Zhao Ta angrily patted his notes and scolded.

"Hehe, the second master is stupid this time, I went to the warehouse next door to Qingyun just now to take a look, it is full of all kinds of stones, but they all have names written on them!" Seeing Xi laughing and teasing him, he hadn't learned the lesson just now.

"Take me to me!" Zhao Ta pulled and left, when he found the Qingbai stone in the warehouse, he really smiled bitterly, isn't this the phosphate rock used to make phosphate fertilizer in the previous life! The white sand is a bit different, not white sand but quartz sand.

"See, how about the two of us also refine the Dan?" Zhao Ta found the right thing, was in a good mood, and asked with a smile.

"Second master, you can also refine the pill, okay!" After seeing Zhao Ta's pistol, he had a blind trust in Zhao Ta, thinking that the prince really learned alchemy from the book, and he was also eager to try.

The two of them said they would do it, grind the stone and charcoal into powder, put them in a crucible according to the proportion, cover the lid and seal it with mud, put it on the Dan furnace, lit the charcoal fire, and after the crucible burned red, Zhao Ta pulled Jianxi and hid outside the house, and he was not sure if this thing would explode.

The two people who were enthusiastic at this time forgot about the cold and the hunger, and waited until the evening, when the charcoal burned out, slowly extinguished, and the crucible cooled, before gently picking off the sealing mud and opening the lid, Zhao Ta carefully picked out a little dark red crystal with a bamboo piece, carefully took it outside, and smashed it down with a hammer, the fire flashed, and there was a bang, and his heart that had been hanging for a long time fell to the ground.

"Second master, did you succeed?" Miki asked cautiously.

"Hehe, it's successful, that's what we want, but we can't eat this or touch it, otherwise it will blow us all up to the sky!" Zhao Ta's mouth was crooked, and he said excitedly.

This time, the harvest of 'alchemy' Zhao Ta is great, and he got almost a pound of red phosphorus, which is enough for him to use for a long time, he carefully poured the red phosphorus into the jar, added water, sealed the lid and buried it in the corner of the cool wall, which can not only prevent oxidation, but also reduce the risk of explosion.
