All Chapters Chapter 20 Immortal Destiny
I thought I would be called out to work by Gan Jiu early the next morning, but who knew that he would not open the door of the firewood room until almost ten o'clock. This book overspeed update address t.cn/RzSvXvv we stayed in the dark for more than ten hours, and our spirits were on the verge of collapse, and I thought that if we continued like this, I would be able to go crazy without Gan Jiu's hands.
The three of us came out of the cage of the firewood house like dead dogs, and when we arrived in the courtyard outside, our eyes could not stand the light of the fire in the lamp, and it took a long time to get used to it. Gan Jiu stood at the mouth of the well and said lightly: "Take off all your clothes." ”
I am now like ashes, Zhao Lein said that I would wait for the opportunity to make trouble, I have no heart at all, and I am completely numb. Gan Jiu let him do whatever he wanted, and I mechanically twisted the buttons of my clothes. We have been in the mountains for almost a week, and we have not washed our faces, feet, let alone baths, and our bodies stink.
They're all big men, and there's nothing to be ashamed of. It is estimated that there are a few girls standing next to me now, and I will also take off my essence numbly, my brain has entered a sluggish state, and I subconsciously follow Gan Jiu's orders.
The three of us stood at the mouth of the well, Gan Jiu used a wooden bucket to pour water from the well, he carried the heavy bucket as if it were nothing, and raised it to the top of his head, before he could react, he poured a whole bucket of cold water on my head. I instantly snorted, the whole head was hot inside and cold outside, like a tight hoop, not to mention this uncomfortable energy.
I hugged my shoulders and shivered, Gan Jiu poured new water one after another, and poured Brother Dong and Zhao Lein from head to toe. Brother Dong's body could no longer support it, and when a bucket of water went down, he was paralyzed on the ground, trembling, and his face was as white as paper.
I saw that the wound on my chest healed at an astonishing rate, turning into a red knife mark, moisturized by the cold water, the red and bright red was different from the surrounding skin, and it looked very eye-catching.
Gan Jiu took a rag and threw it over, and said coldly, "Wipe it clean and put your clothes on." ”
It took more than half an hour for us to get dressed. After pouring cold water, my brain is a little lively, and I am somewhat refreshed. Gan Jiu said: "To refine the Nine Turns and Seven Immortal Pills, choose the auspicious day of the Heavenly Doctor, and the refining Danke must bathe and change clothes." I just counted the hours, and I started refining at eleven o'clock at noon, and now I still have some time, so come with me to prepare. ”
He led the three of us into the alchemy room in the west wing. Gan Jiu lit a few lanterns in the corner of the room, and the light came to life. I saw that strange alchemy device again.
Gan Jiu instructed us to disassemble the device first, and remove every part. The device is composed of large and small rings or long cylindrical parts, which are disassembled and always placed in a pile on the ground.
The device is surrounded by an iron shelf, and the ground under the device is very mysterious when you can see it through the light. There was a pit that was not deep or shallow, and there was a pile of black stuff in it. Gan Jiu asked us to use a shovel to take out all the black things inside, and then we realized that it was all burned waste charcoal, and it turned out that this pit was specially used to make fire.
We dug up the pit and put the branches of wood that we had cut the day before yesterday into the pit in an orderly manner. Gan Jiu led us to start reassembling the dismantled alchemy device, and placed the bellows next to the fire pit first. This bellows is connected to the fire pit by pipes, and it seems that it is necessary to control the fire. When I was a child, many families in the countryside used bellows, placed next to the stove, composed of a piston flap and a wooden box, pulling the piston back and forth, which can blow wind and exuberate the fire.
Directly above the fire pit is a large clay pot, I don't know how many years it has been used, it has been smoked so that the primary color cannot be seen, and it is dark. This basin is quite large, about the same as a bathtub, and I really don't know how such a large pottery is made. Several people have to move at the same time to put it up.
A flat porcelain plate is placed in the basin, and there is a round hole in the center, which should be able to isolate the direct baking of the fire pit, which can help to better control the temperature of the fire.
After finishing these, Zhao Lean suddenly said: "Alchemy all said that it was going to be a furnace, but now that the furnace is there, where is the Ding?" ”
Gan Jiu glanced at him: "Xiao Zhao quite understands." In fact, the so-called tripod is the reaction chamber during alchemy, as long as it can play this role, the shape and form of the tripod do not have to be rigid. If you want to refine a high pill like the Nine Turns and Seven Immortal Pills, you must also use a special Qi Ding. ”
With that, he walked out the door. As soon as his figure disappeared, Zhao Lean came to my side and pinched my hand. He blinked, and that meant don't forget last night's promise.
My heart is beating wildly, and if I really want to fight when the time comes, it will be either me dead or you will live.
At this time, Gan Jiu walked back, and there was actually a person behind him. We looked at each other, and when we looked closely, we were all shocked. He came in on his back the headless body of Daoist Chen that we found in the well.
"This ......," I was speechless in surprise.
Gan Jiu smiled: "This is the tripod needed to refine the Seven Immortal Pills." He took off all of the corpse's robes, revealing the corpse inside. Chen Daochang's death was rare, the corpse had become a dry corpse, covered in skin and bones, and the skin showed a black highlight.
Gan Jiu didn't rush to put Chen Daochang up, but put a lot of materials in the clay pot. We can't understand these materials, they are all scavenged by him in these Dan rooms. After doing this, we thought that we were going to put Chen Daochang up, but who knew that Gan Jiu said that it was still the most important material for refining the Nine Turns Seven Immortal Pills.
He walked out of the house, and after a while, carried another corpse on his back.
As soon as this corpse appeared, my scalp exploded all at once, and Brother Dong and Zhao Lein were also stunned on the spot! Gan Jiu's back came in with Dagang!
Dagang's corpse was also naked, his skin was blue, his eyes were still open, and he didn't look dead. As Gan Jiu moved, Da Gang's hands hung in the air, swaying from side to side, as if he was still alive. His head was tilted right towards us, and his eyes were fixed on the three of us, and I couldn't help but shiver, and my hairs stood on end.
The most collapsed is Brother Dong, Da Gang has the best relationship with him, and the two of them are absolutely iron. At this moment, this scene became the straw that crushed Brother Dong, he knelt on the ground with a puff, and cried: "Da Gang, Da Gang ......"
He walked on his knees, crawled to Gan Jiu's feet like a dog, grabbed his trouser leg and cried, "What happened to Da Gang, what happened to Da Gang?" ”
Gan Jiu looked disgusted and glared at us: "Pull him away!" ”
Zhao Lean went over and grabbed Brother Dong's hands and shouted, "Calm down!" ”
Gan Jiu carried Dagang's corpse to the clay pot and carefully put him into the pot. Da Gang is also 1.75 meters tall, and he can't stretch it out when he puts it in, so Gan Jiu curls up the corpse like a baby. Da Gang bent his body and curled up in the basin, his body covered with the medicinal materials needed for alchemy.
Brother Dong knelt on the ground and cried silently: "Why? Why! ”
Gan Jiu touched the hair of Da Gang's corpse and said coldly, "I sue you why." Refining the Nine Turns and Seven Immortal Pills requires a very important process, and this move in the Dan Dao is called 'pumping'. This method was first used to extract mercury from mercury ore, and later the alchemists gradually enriched this process, and now the process of 'pumping' is distillation. Do you know what distillation is, distillation is an art of separation, when used properly, it can have amazing results, it can pump out the qiē you want! "Pit Gangjieba.
He stared at Da Gang's corpse and said, "The Nine Turns and Seven Immortal Pills have a very strange ingredient, which is to distill a mysterious substance from the human body. Alchemy throughout the ages, if you can refine anything, you can't refine the human body, let alone extract a living soul from the human body. And this method is recorded in the secret recipe for refining the Nine Turns Seven Immortal Pills, and only by going against the sky like this can I become an immortal! ”
Gan Jiu's tone did not carry any emotion, and human life was just a special material in his eyes.
He looked at us: "You should be glad that you are still alive, and to refine the elixir, you must contribute your own body alone. It's either Dagang, it's one of you. ”
Gan Jiu covered the clay pot with a matching clay lid. Brother Dong was lying on the ground and still crying, Gan Jiu frowned, and broke off: "Can you shut up!" ”
He is too cold-blooded, and if he says the same, Brother Dong is trembling and doesn't cry.
Gan Jiu looked at us, his expression was extremely stern: "Alchemy for a while, if any of you spoil my big thing, I will let him live as well as die, and there is no place to bury him if he dies." Did you hear that?! ”
None of the three of us spoke, just nodded. The scene in front of him was both strange and eerie, and Gan Jiu simply did not look like a human. He's crazy.
Gan Jiu asked Daoist Chen's headless body to sit cross-legged on the clay cover, and it looked like Daoist Chen was meditating. There is a hole in the center of the lid, facing the chrysanthemum of Chen Daochang's corpse. Looking at this posture, I suddenly understood the whole refining process: the flame burns, simmers the clay pot on it, and the clay pot has medicine and Dagang's corpse in it, which can produce a chemical reaction, and the steam that comes out will follow Chen Daochang's chrysanthemum and enter Chen Daochang's body, and then what reaction will appear in his body, and finally condense into Dan.
This device was so weird that I blinked and pondered as I saw Gan Jiu doing the final work.
He turned a black jar upside down, and slowly inserted the jar into Chen Daochang's neck with the mouth facing down, revealing only a short section of the outside. This jar is exactly the same as the black jar called the cantharid I saw in the Holy Aunt's Monastery. At that time, the jar of the Holy Aunt contained a cat that had been skinned, and used the body of the cat to refine the souls of Huang Leilei and Fan Xiong.
What did Gan Jiu do with this jar?
I blurted out, "What is this for?" ”
Gan Jiu did not shy away from us, and said: "This is called a cantharid, also called the Yangcheng jar, which is a special pill jar used to refine pills. It is used here to collect the last Cheng Dan. ”
The more he spoke, the more fanatical his eyes became: "This qiē is too smooth, it seems that I am an immortal!" ”
