"There are Wu Peng, Wu Di, Wu Yang, Wu Xu, Wu Fan, and Wu Xiang in the enlightened east,...... They all the medicine of immortality to refuse. - "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"

What is the red hole, in fact, is the Dansha mine, Dansha has been quite a magical thing since ancient times, also known as cinnabar, cinnabar, in the eyes of the ancients it is not only a pigment for coloring paintings, but more importantly, as a magical medicine.

The medicinal effects of Dansha are varied, internal administration can calm hypnosis, interpret antiseptic, external use can kill bacteria and parasites, the ancients also discovered the efficacy of Dansha very early, "Shennong's Materia Medica" will be listed as a top-grade medicine, the medical range is very wide, it is written on "calm and nourish the mind, benefit the qi and eyes, pass the blood, on the trouble, kill the evil spirit, remove the evil, abdominal disease, poisonous gas".

From the perspective of modern people's concepts, dansha is nothing more than mercury sulfide, the so-called sedative and hypnotic effect, in fact, mercury enters the body and directly damages the central nervous system, but this is not important, the important thing is that in the eyes of the ancients, dansha is quite a magical and important thing. Its wide application can be said to be throughout the ancient class, the poor class regarded it as a miracle medicine, many rural earthworks used dansha, and it was even more important for the aristocratic class, who wanted to refine the elixir of immortality.

And this elixir of immortality, throughout the ages, can't bypass Dansha.

Ge Hong once said in "Hug Puzi Immortal Medicine": "The one above the immortal medicine is dansha, the second is gold, and the second is silver." He was a famous doctor in the Eastern Jin Dynasty of China, the author of "The Book of the Elbow", the nephew of Ge Xuan, a famous scholar of the Three Kingdoms, and was respected as the little immortal Weng.

Once Di Zi'an looked at the history books, countless princes and generals, and the famous master died in the hands of this so-called immortal pill, at that time, it was just a joke to laugh at the ignorance and ignorance of the ancients, but when Di Zi'an really completed the promotion through the ceremony of mercury for blood, he didn't think it was ridiculous to look at these examples.

If the elixir of immortality is really just a joke, so many people throughout the ages will really be so stupid, willing to devote their lives to the pursuit, the culture of the Celestial Empire is broad and profound, up and down for 5,000 years, there are as many people as many alchemy cultivators as the stars in the sky, and there are not many capable and wise people who overwhelm an era.

Compare your heart to your heart and put yourself in your shoes, those who have been regarded as wise and ghostly for a whole era are really so easy to be deceived and spend their energy on a big lie? Di Zi'an didn't think about this deeply, but after experiencing the promotion of mercury himself, Di Zi'an thought that the elixir of immortality was really something, and most of the raw materials were really dansha.

The reason is very simple, since mercury can be used as a raw material for a promotion path, its supernatural nature is naturally enough to support it as a promotion material for another promotion path, and mercury is from dansha.

It's just that it's definitely not a simple matter of refining mercury and refining it into a mercury pill and swallowing it, just like the alchemy matrix is needed for the promotion of a metal mentor...... In addition to the elixir refined by Dansha, there must be something else needed, or work on the ingredients of the elixir.

Along the way, Di Zi'an thought so much that he didn't even notice that he had reached the destination, if Wen Zhujun hadn't grabbed him, maybe he would have gone straight like that, Di Zi'an looked around, and he had already arrived at the tribal settlement of this Ba people.

The architectural style is quite simple and vulgar, that is, the wood is the support, the straw mat is the sheltered house, the bonfire is burning outside the house, you can see many Ba women polishing something next to the fire, at this time to see the return of the large army, immediately there are many Ba women to greet them, they are carrying a big wooden barrel, just approaching Di Zi'an and Wen Zhujun to smell quite obvious bitterness, like the smell of fish gall in the seafood market is punctured.

"Herbs?" Di Zi'an looked at the viscous green liquid in it, and the Ba women carefully smeared it on the wounds on the bodies of the returning strong men, although it was a triumphant return, but in fact, basically everyone had more or less knife wounds on their bodies, and if they were cut by iron tools in this era, if they were not taken care of, and there was no effective treatment, if they were really infected with tetanus, it would be a death.

Don't look at them as burly and strong, with first-class physical fitness, but in fact, the ancients had a very low ability to resist many diseases.

If you get it, you're dead.

Di Zi'an and Wen Zhujun, two outsiders, are quite eye-catching, and the Ba people who come and go will look at it a few times from time to time, but soon, a young Ba woman will come to receive them.

"Come with me, the witch head is invited."

Is there really a witch? Di Zi'an was slightly alert, but he didn't know which line...... Wen Zhujun obviously didn't know how to answer, and looked at Di Zi'an, in this kind of settlement equivalent to a barbarian, she could only hold on to Di Zi'an's thighs, which were not very thick, otherwise she was a weak woman, and it was easy for some restrictive things to happen.

"Please lead the way. Di Zi'an was very satisfied with Wen Zhujun's obedience, although it was useless, but at least he wouldn't make trouble for himself, but he didn't know if the witch leader was good to talk or not, Di Zi'an's eyes flashed with a touch of jealousy, Bashan Ancient Witch, even in later generations, is very famous.

Generally if there is something that can be left in history, then you can be sure that there is some kind of great place, the Ba people have been totem worship since ancient times, and legend has it that their ancestors saw the great power of the world from the natural scene, such as the rising sun and the setting of the moon, the vicissitudes of the sea. They saw the primitive power from these phenomena or disasters, established primitive totems, and then multiplied, and slowly the types of totems expanded, and this primitive inheritance also spread on the earth.

From storms, wildfires, earthquakes, floods and other disasters after the realization of the primordial power supreme, and as their own totem worship, the Ba people's witch is inherited from such an ancient worship, Bashan ancient witch in many records all have the real supernatural, although not necessarily powerful, but often very mysterious.

Because of the worship of the primordial power, and then he also gained strength, isn't this another kind of power to believe? Dizi seemed to capture something in his peace of mind, but in a flash, just as he was about to think deeply, he heard the respectful voice of the Ba woman leading the way in front of him,

"Two guests, already here. She bent down respectfully, turned sideways, in front of Di Zi'an and Wen Zhujun was a huge tent, more huge and delicate than the residence that could be seen along the way, Di Zi'an pushed open the grass curtain, a strong bitter smell of herbs came to her face, into the eyes is a huge clay pot, an old man in front of the clay pot vigorously stirred the wooden stick in his hand, every time he stirred, the bitter herb taste is even more rich and heavy.

Di Zi'an frowned, slightly covered his nose with his hand to show discomfort, the old man also stopped what he was doing, looked at Di Zi'an and Wen Zhujun, his wrinkled face twitched slightly, although it was very difficult, but Di Zi'an could barely judge that he was laughing, although it was more ugly than crying, and when he opened his mouth, he could clearly see that his teeth had fallen out, and his dry lips were cracked. No matter how you look at it, it is in line with the image of the old witch in Wen Zhujun's impression.

"The distinguished guest came from afar, and the old man was not able to welcome him. The voice was hoarse and harsh, if the sound of dry wood rubbing against it, what was even more terrifying was that after saying this, the old woman actually laughed to herself, the wrinkles on her face were completely twisted together, Wen Zhujun turned his face a little scared,

"It's a celestial gesture. The old woman didn't seem to feel Wen Zhujun's disgust and fear, staring at Di Zi'an and Wen Zhujun, facing this old face, Di Zi'an also had a little palpitations, it was really too scary. "You're the Witch Head?"

"Ji Ji, the old body is not talented, and he is the head of the line of co-workers. The old woman said, Di Zi'an's eyes flashed,

"Is it Lord Wulan?"

"I haven't heard anyone say this name for a long time," the wrinkles on the old woman's face tightened, which also meant that she smiled brighter...... Di Zi'an said that there is still this level of knowledge, Gonggong Wushou Wulan, Zhurong Wushou Wuyang, such a famous inheritance is almost well known.

"Then I don't know what Lord Wulan asked us to do?" Dizi was vigilant in peace of mind, the head of a vein witch, it is difficult to imagine what skills this level of existence has, but she is generally regarded as a top-level supernatural walking standard.

"Truly, two celestials, the old body has a reluctant request. ”

Hearing this, Di Zi'an narrowed his eyes, "Since it's a reluctant invitation, it's better to avoid talking about it." Wen Zhujun listened in horror on the sidelines, is it really appropriate to be so tough?

"This matter is about the survival of the tribe, and it is a little anxious to forgive the old man," the old witch's voice became low, and it looked even more terrifying, "You two probably know a little bit too," Di Zi'an frowned, what do you know?

"The cavalry of the Qin people is already approaching this place, and the tribal children have already encountered the spies of the vanguard before. ”
