Chapter 43: Immortality
"This charcoal fire is still burning?" I was a little skeptical of my eyes.
Tang Yin walked over with the black cat in his arms, glanced at the things in Xiaoding and shook his head, I looked at the black cat, the black cat seemed to find that I was looking at it, turned his head and opened his mouth towards me and bit it into the void.
"It's ...... Fire cake? At this time, Tang Zhenggu walked up from behind, stared blankly at the charcoal fire in the small ding, and said.
"Fire cake? What is it? "It's weird to listen to, can this thing still be eaten? I waited for Tang Zhenggu to explain it to me.
Tang Zhenggu took a step forward and walked to the side of the stone frame to look at the stone ding, and then pulled out a knife from behind him, he stretched the tip of the knife towards the fire cake, and in a second or two he lifted the knife out of the fire, and the entire tip of the knife was already red.
"This thing has so much heat? This is much more efficient than an induction cooker! It's really more effective to cook. I quipped casually.
Tang Zhenggu nodded, "That's right, it's the fire cake, except for the fire cake, nothing has such a high calorie." ”
"Uncle Tang, what is this fire cake?" I couldn't help but ask him, he was so intoxicated by the magic of this fire cake that it was really heartbreaking.
"Okay, I'll tell you about it, to put it simply, the ancients didn't have the current science and technology, and there was no way to make fuel that could produce a sustained and stable extremely high temperature, but sometimes this temperature was needed, especially some ancient alchemists and alchemists of Dandao, so they invented this kind of thing, legend has it that to make fire cake, you need to first burn a very rare root called Zongshu, and the flame produced by burning this root contains the essence of fire, and then you need to extract the essence of fire from the flame, Fire cake is made from the essence of fire, and I don't know what the essence of fire is.
At that time, it was mainly some alchemists who would make fire cakes, because they needed to use them, since the Ming Dynasty, the Dan Dao declined, and the secret method of making fire cakes slowly was lost, and no one knew what Zongshu was. At that time, the royal family of the Ming Dynasty also thought about using fire cake as a thing for heating, but because the heat of the fire cake was too large, and the cost of making it was too high, even the royal family could not afford it so much, and it was not as good as ordinary fire coal, so it was finally given up. ”
I took a breath, and sure enough, there was no shortage of talent in this world, and even such things as fire cakes were invented.
I quickly clicked on the small tripod with my hand, "The temperature on the surface of this tripod is not very high, it seems that this tripod is also specially made, which can reduce the heat loss of the fire cake." If, as you said, this hut was built in the Ming Dynasty, and no one comes in after the owner of this hut, doesn't that mean that this fire cake has been kept for hundreds of years? It's been hundreds of years, and this fire cake can still have such a high calorie? ”
The two of them didn't say anything, if that's the case, then I can only say that this Xiaoding's thermal insulation ability is high.
Tang Zhenggu covered the lid of the small ding as he spoke, he had an instinctive love for this rare and exotic object, and he was really a member of the Tang family. There are so many of these small dings around, they can't all be this kind of fire cake, right?
I took one and opened it to see, and sure enough, it was still a piece of fire cake! I looked through seven or eight in a row, and they were all full of fire cakes, and I probably counted them, and there were almost a hundred of them.
"So many fire cakes were found here at once!" Tang Zhenggu looked a little surprised.
There are also those jade bottles above, I took one down and opened it to see, there are a few jade blue pills inside, it smells weird, I am afraid of poison and hurriedly close the lid, and I opened several jade bottles in a row, which are either pills or some strange powders, crumbs, etc., and there is no logo on the jade bottle, so I gave the name to know what it is.
Tang Zhenggu followed me and looked at the more exciting his face became, and finally he sighed lightly, "It seems that this place is an alchemist's alchemy!" ”
"Alchemist? And it shouldn't be just an alchemist, unless this place can build its own treasure aura, there will be no other way to get in, unless there is a door here that we haven't discovered. "I slowly put the bottles back in their original positions.
Tang Zhenggu nodded, "Actually, it's not surprising that the alchemist is also a medicine questioner, because the purpose of those medicine people at the beginning was to find immortal elixirs, and this may be a real medicine seeker." ”
I suddenly thought of something, picked up a jade bottle and shook it and said playfully, "Do you think there will be immortal elixir in these pills?" ”
Tang Zhenggu smiled and said, "If there is really an elixir of immortality, then this house will not be empty." ”
"Maybe the man went out? He's just not here for a while! "I don't know what kind of cramps my brain is for a while, I don't know why I always feel that this possibility exists, maybe I still hope for the existence of the elixir of immortality in my heart, right? Who wouldn't want that?
Tang Zhenggu smiled, "Then who knows?" If you dare to eat these medicines here, then you can try them, anyway, I don't dare to eat them, many of the pills practiced by those alchemists in ancient times are poisonous, such as mercury, lead and other heavy metals can also be eaten by people? But they put these metals into the elixir as a magical substance, so how could the elixir refined under that circumstance make people immortal? ”
I didn't say anything and put the elixir back, but who knows, who knows what kind of state immortality is? Can a person still be called a human after he is immortal? Maybe at that time, mercury and lead were not toxic to that kind of person, because they were no longer human!
Tang Yin didn't speak when the two of us talked, she didn't pay attention to these when she saw that there was nothing useful here, she had been playing with the black cat, she really liked cats, and the cat was also exceptionally well-behaved to Tang Yin now, no different from an ordinary pet cat, if it hadn't been for the sudden green light disappearing on its body before, we wouldn't have come here, did it deliberately attract us here? But there's nothing else here except those pills or something, what the hell does this cat mean?
Now there is only the largest tripod that we haven't checked, but that tripod is so high, so big, and the heavy lid on it, obviously not the three of us can open it, and I don't know how the alchemist here used this big tripod before? Unless the alchemist is a giant?
"Treasure aura!" I suddenly thought of the treasure aura! That's right, since you can't go in like this, then follow up and use your aura to go in like here!
I glanced at Tang Yin, who was squatting and playing with the cat, I was really embarrassed to say it, I was really worried about her body, she suddenly looked up at me and said slowly, "If you want to use your aura to enter that big ding, I can do it at any time, but I can't go in with you, you be careful!" ”
I nodded and didn't say much, I also know enough about Tang Yin, she said yes, saying more will only make her feel hypocritical, Tang Yin glanced at me and instantly urged the aura of the treasure.
I took a breath and threw out the red rope traction aura, I just rushed into the crack in the air, the black cat in Tang Yin's arms suddenly jumped in with me with a green light, the next moment I felt as if I was pulled by something, and then the next second I was thrown out of the aura and smashed towards the wall in front of me!
