Chapter 382: Alchemy Stone
The wine bottle in the man's hand fell, and the Seven Evils took out one free hand to catch it, threw it down, Lei Zi held it in his hand, put it under his nose and smelled it: "The taste is the same, the bottle is exactly the same, he is the one who went to the cave last night, and, the Seven Evils, take him down!" ”
The seven evils pulled the man, and suddenly jumped off the stone, the two of them landed together, and Xiaoshan also jumped down, and the man was suppressed with a disdainful expression: "You Han people just like to bully more and win disgrace." ”
"You can speak Chinese." Bai Yicai didn't care about what was bright and upright, if he talked to anyone about what was bright and upright, he was afraid that he would die countless times: "With an axe tattooed on your face, aren't you the guardian of this forbidden area?" What is this called, the guard stealing himself? Come in with a bottle and get a drink......"
"It's not wine." The man's face was dark, but he could still see that Bai Yi had poked his sore spot just now - the prison guard had stolen himself, and his identity was written on his face.
Attacking people is about attacking people, Bai Yi laughed secretly in his heart: "I don't know how your clansmen will react when they know that you have stolen here, generally speaking, the person who can be selected as the guardian of the forbidden zone must carry the hope and trust of the clan, but unfortunately, you have so easily shattered your clan's trust in you." ”
"Say no more!" The man roared, "What do you know? ”
Lei Zi still made a bad move: "Yes, we don't understand, but we know what it means to be a guard and steal, just now, we thought you took advantage of us, the first time you sneaked in, but, now it seems that you are not the first time to come in, quite familiar with the road, the first time it can be said that you didn't hold it yourself, this second time, the third time, you are simply deliberate, how did your people choose such a guardian as you?" It would be nice to protect the forbidden area and not open it for people to enter! ”
This guy's mouth has always been sharp, and today he was tossed enough, and the fire in his stomach just didn't have any air, this man was almost angry by Lei Zi's words, and his eyes became red: "This is not wine!" ”
"What's that?" Bai Yi immediately asked.
The man's mouth was open, and he was about to speak, realizing that Bai Yi was playing tricks on him, he immediately closed his mouth, a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, Bai Yi had already grabbed his cover door, and immediately said: "If you don't say it, it's okay, after you go out, we will publicize the fact that you entered the forbidden area without permission......
"Don't push me." The man gritted his teeth and said, "Who are you, do you know that this is a forbidden area?" ”
"You don't know." Xiao Ning sneered: "You know that you can come in, and it makes sense to break in by mistake if we don't know, right, Tang Sancheng?" ”
"Yes, 100 percent right." As soon as Tang Sancheng finished speaking, the man closed his eyes, his body wanted to struggle, but he was helplessly beaten to death by the seven evils, and the man scolded: "What do you people want to do? ”
"What are you doing, what is this place, and why is it a forbidden zone?" Bai Yi played with the wine bottle in his hand: "Also, this liquid is not wine, what is it?" You have the right to say it or not to say it, but I want to remind you that we can't keep it a secret for you when you enter the forbidden zone privately, you speak Chinese well, and you have been in the outside world in the future, and you know what it means to be fearful, and this alone can make it impossible for you to stay in the clan, right? ”
The man finally softened, and the four words of rumor fell on his heart like a hammer, and he sighed: "This is not wine, although this stone is called tartar, and the liquid that flows out smells like wine, it is actually medicine." ”
"Medicine?" Lei Zi dared to lower his mouth now, he stretched out his finger and rubbed it on the stone and put it in his mouth, it was really, it smelled like wine, but it was very bitter when he put it in his mouth, and there was a strong smell of medicine: "Bah, it's so bitter, what kind of medicine is this." ”
"It is said that this was the alchemy room in the past." The man's words surprised everyone.
Dan is a dosage form of traditional Chinese medicine, and many prescriptions in ancient and modern times are called "Dan" to show miracles, such as Tianwang Buxin Dan, Zhibao Dan, Shanhai Dan and so on. These prescriptions, mainly formulated from animal and plant medicines, are no different from Dan in the original sense, but only borrow the name "Dan", and the profound influence of ancient alchemy on later generations can be seen.
Alchemy, also known as Wai Dan Huang Bai Shu, or Jin Dan Shu, referred to as "Wai Dan", is different from the "Nei Dan" guidance technique of the Longevity Zhenren Qiu Chu Ji Quanzhen Longmen School. Alchemy began in the middle of the Warring States period, after the Qin and Han dynasties, it began to prevail, after the two Song Dynasty, Taoism advocated the cultivation of the inner Dan, the "Danding faction" was popular for a while and excluded the outer Danshu; Until the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Waidan fire refining method gradually declined and gave way to "Materia Medica".
Alchemy is a method used by the ancients to refine elixir in pursuit of immortality. Dan refers to Dansha or mercury sulfide, which is an inorganic compound of sulfur and mercury. Unlike plants and trees, dansha not only burns but does not ember, but "the longer it is burned, the more wonderful the changes become." "The mercury produced by mercury sand is a metallic substance, but it is in a liquid state, with the luster of metal, but it is different from the shape of hardware, and it is stubborn and stagnant.
Usually alchemy requires a ding or furnace, but there are no tools found here that can be used for alchemy, and this liquid is "Dan", which is also incredible.
"Damn, are you fooling us, I haven't even seen the shadow of an alchemy furnace in this place, just this stone can be alchemy?" Lei Zi spat on the ground: "You lied to your uncle!" ”
"Believe it or not, this stone is called the alchemy stone by our people, the ancestors have explained, the alchemy stone is not trivial, and the liquid on it is left over from the alchemy of the year, which can solve all diseases." The man said, "I came in to get it just to treat my old mother, and I had no other purpose. ”
"Has this liquid been flowing over and over again?" Bai Yi asked in a sullen voice.
"For as long as I can remember, I have known that there is an alchemy stone in the forbidden area, and as for why the liquid on it flows all year round, we don't know, the forbidden area was forbidden to enter it three hundred years ago." The man said: "Although I was chosen as the guardian, but over the years, no outsiders have broken in, and you are the first batch. ”
"Outsiders, we are indeed the first batch." Lei Zi is endless, and Bai Yi finally has a little conscience: "Okay, it's over." ”
"Is this the only place that big?" Bai Yi is most concerned about this.
"I don't know." The man said honestly: "This is the second time I have come in. ”
"Have you ever been to a cave before?" Tang Sancheng suddenly asked, "There is a wine bottle in that cave that is exactly the same as yours." ”
"I've been." The man said honestly: "Last night I remembered that the bottle was still in the cave, and I originally wanted to retrieve it, but I didn't expect to see a fire inside before I got closer, and I expected to leave, so I hurried back." ”
Xiao Ning's brows furrowed: "You're lying!" ”
