Chapter 11: The Moon Lake (1)
However, what Xiao Xue wants to refine is something like an elixir, and it is definitely not possible to use an ordinary medicine tripod.
Fang Ling said solemnly: "Imperial Doctor Lin, there are no more treasures in this palace than outside, there must be this hundred-year-old medicine tripod somewhere, you think about it." ”
Lin Mowen didn't dare to slack off when he saw Fang Ling's serious appearance, he quickly frowned and thought deeply, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't have a clue, and said to himself: "This medicine tripod is all ceramic, if it is made of copper......"
At this, he slapped his head with a look of delight.
"Thought of it?" Fang Ling couldn't help but be secretly happy, he originally planned for Lin Mowen to go to Chen Mou without a clue here, but seeing his abrupt look, he hurriedly asked.
Lin Mowen smiled and said, "I just remembered that a hundred years ago, our Chu State had the matter of refining copper medicine tripods. ”
"The copper one is not easy to break, so is it still preserved now?" Fang Ling said happily.
"Of course, it's just below the Moon Lake. Lin Mowen said with a smile.
"What, under the Moon Lake?" Fang Ling was a little confused, that Moon Lake was the big lake under the North Mountain, this medicine tripod should be in the palace of course, how could it be under the Moon Lake.
Lin Mowen explained: "A hundred years ago, the Queen Mother at that time had a strange disease and had been seeking medical treatment to no avail. At that time, there was a minister who got a prescription that was said to be able to treat from nowhere, but this prescription was made in a special way, and it needed to be refined with a special copper medicine tripod, so the Chu Emperor specially ordered the craftsman to cast a medicine tripod in copper, but the pill was not completed, and the queen mother had returned to the heavens, so this medicine tripod was sunk under the moon lake as a sacrifice. ”
When Fang Ling heard him say this, he remembered that he had indeed read this historical fact a hundred years ago, so he asked, "Speaking of which, the medicine tripod should still be in the Moon Lake?"
Lin Mowen replied with a smile: "This is natural, that thing is not valuable, I'm afraid no one will fish for it, and the Moon Lake seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact, the lake is quite deep, and the bottom is turbulent, even people with good water characteristics dare not set foot easily." ”
Fang Ling smiled, it is true that there are very few people around the Imperial City who have good water nature, but he is indeed an exception.
As early as when he was six or seven years old, Dong Canghai let him often practice in the pool in the back garden in order to train his apnea, this apnea has not yet been learned, until he learned to swim, but after the age of 13, he can come out of the pool as soon as he stops, and Fang Ling has not swam at that time.
However, now that he can close the qi of half the pillar of incense time, coupled with the water nature he has practiced before, there should be no problem at the bottom of this Moon Exploration Lake.
Early the next morning, Fang Ling came to Moon Lake.
Lake Moon is very vast, and there are a large number of peach trees planted along the lake's edge, and it is said that every year when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, there is a crowd of people here.
However, the danger of the Moon Lake is also well known, and the old people in the city all know that there are several undercurrents under the Moon Lake, turbulent and turbulent, and no matter how good the water is, people will accidentally lose their lives.
Therefore, people who have lived in the imperial city for a long time only appreciate the beauty of Moon Lake, and no one dares to use this place as a place for swimming.
Fang Ling stopped under a forest next to the Moon Lake, took off his coat and jumped into the lake.
