Chapter 404: Open the furnace and take the pill
While we were chatting, Professor Dong's mobile phone rang, and he answered the phone and said a few words, and his tone suddenly became excited.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately said to us, "The parchment scroll has been restored, 90% of the text and map on it have been restored, and I need to go back to the bureau immediately." After speaking, he led Dong Xiaodan and left in a hurry.
Two days later, I thought that Professor Dong would come to us after reading the contents of the parchment scroll, or at least tell us about the parchment scroll, but he didn't, and he didn't even make a phone call. I thought that maybe it was because the matter was still in the stage of secrecy, and it was inconvenient for him to say anything to us, so he didn't dare to call and ask, despite his curiosity.
In this way, more than half a month has passed, and after waiting at home for seven hundred and forty-nine days, the day of opening the furnace to take the pill finally ushered in.
Everyone is both excited and nervous, I am afraid that the resurrection pill will not be refined, although I still keep a copy of the alchemy materials, but let me wait for another seven hundred and forty-nine days but it is really uncomfortable, during this time, I almost didn't go anywhere, just stayed at home, it was like a year.
Just in case, we didn't dare to open the lid of the furnace rashly, but first turned into a cloud of mist from the dustless and sneaked into the furnace to investigate the situation.
After a while, Wuchenzi flew out of the Dan furnace, and I hurriedly asked him, "Senior Wuchenzi, how is Dan refining?" ”
Wuchenzi did not beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "According to what the poor Dao has seen, Dan has been refined!" ”
"Really!?" I was amazed and delighted.
Wuchenzi nodded: "Now you can open the furnace and take the pill." ”
I couldn't wait to open the lid of the furnace and look inside, only to see that the pills that were originally about an inch in diameter had now more than doubled in size, and the pills that were originally reddish-brown had now turned black-brown.
I picked one up and put it in front of my nose and smelled it, but I didn't smell anything, which couldn't help but surprise me a little, because among the materials for refining the elixir, the hundred-year-old mountain ginseng and the dragon yin sand all have a strong smell, especially the dragon yin sand, which can be described as extremely fragrant, and now how can there be no smell at all.
I was puzzled, raised my head and asked, "Senior Wuchenzi, why does this Resurrection Pill not smell at all, could it be that it has been left for too long, and the medicinal effect has also volatilized?" ”
"Hehe, Engong doesn't know, this pill has no smell to emit out, so it is the best grade."
"What do you mean by that?"
Wuchenzi replied: "If there is a smell emitted, it means that the essence qi contained in the pill is gradually dissipating, and over time, it will lose its medicinal effect, and this pill without the slightest smell can be preserved for a long time." Even if it is stored for decades, it can be used as usual. ”
"Can you still eat it for decades!?" I couldn't believe it.
Wuchenzi nodded, and then said: "Of course, it would be best if there was a Dan box to store it." ”
"What's the Dan Box?" I hurriedly asked.
"The elixir is best to be kept with something that can be isolated from the external aura, so as not to be affected by the external aura, the so-called Dan box, is used to place the elixir of the box, the Dan box is generally made of precious wood such as golden silk nan, red sandalwood, etc."
As soon as Wuchenzi's words fell, Wen Qingshan said on the side: "I have already prepared the Dan box, military man, you go to my room and bring the golden wooden box on the desk." ”
"Good!" The fat man immediately turned around and went downstairs, and after a while, he came back with a wooden box about a foot square and a golden body.
Wen Qingshan took the wooden box from Niu Fatzi's hand and said: "This Dan box was specially created by someone a few years ago, using golden silk nanmu, please see if it is suitable for the predecessors of Wuchenzi." ”
As he spoke, he opened the Dan box, and I found that this Dan box was different from ordinary boxes, it was divided into four layers, and each layer was divided into many independent small squares, I counted it, and each layer was forty-forty-six squares, that is, there were sixty-four small squares in the entire wooden box.
Wuchenzi took a closer look at the Dan box and praised: "This box is quite exquisitely designed, and the gaps are very tight, which can be regarded as a high-grade Dan box." ”
I picked up a pill and put it in one of the small squares in the box, which was quite suitable.
Wuchenzi said: "Just ask Engong to put away these pills first." ”
I nodded, put all the pills into the small square one by one, and then handed the entire wooden box to the cheap, and said, "We will send this resurrection pill to Zhai Bo early tomorrow morning, and let him eat two pills a day for ten days and a half months, I won't believe ......it."
Before I could finish speaking, Wuchenzi interrupted me: "Engong, do you want to give people this pill?" ”
"Of course, I don't give food to anyone!"
"Since it's for people, how can you eat two pills a day, and you have to eat them for ten days and a half months in a row!?"
I explained: "Because Zhai Bo has a terminal illness, he can't do it without strong medicine." ”
Wuchenzi hurriedly said: "Never! ”
"Why not?" I'm a little puzzled.
"Engong doesn't know, the materials used in this elixir are all superb, several medicinal materials are extremely abundant in spiritual energy, and the fire pill sand and dragon yin sand are both toxic to a certain extent, if this elixir is taken continuously, within three days, I am afraid it will be unbearable for people, at least it will lead to internal qi disorder, and it may even kill people."
Hearing Wuchenzi say this, I couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Then how should I eat this elixir?" ”
"One should be taken every seven days. Seven capsules should be effective. ”
"Can that cure Zhai Bo's cancer?" Cheap asked on the side.
Wuchenzi said: "Poor Dao doesn't know what cancer is, so I don't know how to answer you." However, as seen by the poor Dao, this elixir may really have the miraculous effect of resurrecting the dead, if that person really has an incurable disease, he might as well give it a try. ”
After listening to what Wuchenzi said, I suddenly had more confidence in curing Zhai Bo's cancer.
Early the next morning, I rushed back to Liangxian with Dan Pill.
Knowing that we had refined the Resurrection Pill, Huang Yixian still couldn't believe it, even if we took out the Pill and put it in front of him, he still didn't believe that these Pill pills were the legendary Resurrection Pill. His doubts were the same as mine, because he didn't smell anything. He even suspected that these pills were made by us using flour to deliberately fool Zhai Bo, and the purpose of doing so was to make Zhai Bo think that he had taken the Resurrection Pill and be psychologically optimistic, because the doctor had said that optimistic feelings were the best medicine for cancer.
I had to explain a lot to Huang Yixian, and he finally believed that what we got back was really the Resurrection Pill! In order to cure Zhai Bo's illness as much as possible, we let him take one on the same day.
Over the next few days, we watched him closely. Although we didn't go to the hospital to check the cancer cells in his body, we found that his complexion did look much better, which made several of us happy, which at least shows that the resurrection pill is indeed effective. As for whether he can completely cure his cancer, we can only know after taking it for a while.
And on the third day after I returned to Liangxian, I suddenly received a call from Dong Xiaodan, and as soon as I picked up the phone, I heard Dong Xiaodan's crying voice on the other end of the phone. I was busy asking what was wrong, and she told me on the phone that Professor Dong was missing.
It turned out that since he saw the parchment scroll, Professor Dong locked himself in the study and devoted himself to research, he deduced the approximate geographical location of the ruins of the Heavenly Wolf Country according to the text and map on the scroll, and consulted a large number of ancient books, after he reported the situation, the above organized another investigation, this time including Seabeard, several young men from the archaeological team of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau also followed, and they went for more than 20 days, and there has been no news. Who knew that just this morning, Dong Xiaodan received a call from Xinjiang, saying that the expedition team had an accident in Lop Nur and encountered a sandstorm, and one of the teams was missing, and the leader of this team was Professor Dong. Professor Dong was missing along with other members of the archaeological team of the Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics, including Hai Huzi, the leader of the archaeological team.
Dong Xiaodan is in a hurry now, she plans to go to Xinjiang to find Professor Dong, but she needs help, and the only person who can think of it is me.
I persuaded her on the phone, told her not to worry, and said that I would rush back to Xiangsha City to join her, and then accompany her to Xinjiang.
After hanging up the phone, I immediately told Huang Yixian and others about the situation, and then drove back to Xiangsha City alone.
On the way back, I called Wen Qingshan, after all, he is an expert in exploration, and if you want to go to Lop Nur, you naturally have to ask him for help. Moreover, just after Professor Dong came to me last time, I told him about the legend of the Heavenly Wolf Country, and he was actually very interested in the ruins of the Heavenly Wolf Country, but because he really couldn't get away from it at that time, and after all, it was an investigation organized by the government, so it was inconvenient to intervene without being invited, so he had to give up. Second, now that he heard that Professor Dong had disappeared in Lop Nur, he immediately expressed his willingness to accompany me and Dong Xiaodan to find someone.
So I immediately called Dong Xiaodan and asked her to book a ticket for us to fly to Urumqi that night.
I drove all the way to my home, and it was five o'clock in the afternoon, and after a hasty cleanup, I drove to the airport with Wen Qingshan.
Dong Xiaodan was already waiting at the airport, and the moment she saw me, she couldn't suppress the discomfort in her heart, threw herself into my arms, and cried loudly, I had to persuade her again.
