71. Alchemy?

No longer lingering, the two looked at each other, looking at the groove, Zhuyue left it, got up, patted the dust on his arms, and said, "Let's go, go in and have a look." ”

The wind seemed to stand by casually, his eyes fixed on the stones, but it was only for a moment, and he went to pull the cart again, and the two of them went in with the dead men. The rockery then closed again, blocking everything, leaving no traces, as if it was still an ordinary, rockery for people to enjoy.

The surroundings were calm again, and if it weren't for what he had seen with his own eyes, Taketsuki would have really mistakenly thought that everything was just an illusion and that nothing had ever happened.

It's a pity that he really saw it and kept a heart in his heart.

The wind was a little hard, and there was a lot of sweat in his clothes, and some of the fabric was soaked, and he had just been dried a lot, and now his clothes were cold and not warm, so that he always shivered from time to time, and got a lot of goosebumps.

Zhuyue's eyes were very pointy, and it was naturally easy to see his strangeness, "What?" Are you cold? ”

He felt that his internal qi protected his body, not to mention that he was more than half a master, but it was really embarrassing to retreat because of the coldness, so he quickly shook his head and denied it: "No, no, what's the matter, I'm hot to death from my work, where does it get cold?" Don't guess. ”

Zhu Yue couldn't imagine that his character of dying to save face and suffering sins couldn't change anywhere, so he shook his head helplessly and said to him: "You, why don't you change your dead nature?" It's not a big deal to admit it, look at you, what are you afraid of, this is human nature, are you afraid that I won't be able to go to you? It's supposed that I'm afraid, I'm afraid that you will turn around and catch a cold, and I will eat all the hardships of the mission, wouldn't it be cheaper for you! As he spoke, Takeyue unbuttoned himself at the same time, took off the thin piece of material he was wearing, and threw it on the wind's head with a flick of his hand.

The sight in front of him suddenly went dark, his eyes were covered by something, Feng subconsciously reached out to grab it, but when he saw it, it was Zhuyue's clothes, and he hurriedly said: "What are you doing?" I said I'm not cold. ”

"Come on, who are you fooling when you're shaking like that, do you think I'm really so kind to wear it for you? I'm just lending it to you for the time being, I don't want to carry you back later, and it's only the outermost piece, it's so thin that I can't wear it or not, I'm not stupid, how can I take off the warmest one for you to wear? Don't ink it, hurry up, put on at least the starting point. Oh, don't get dirty, you can see that your gloves are dirty, remember to wash them for me when you get back! ”

Zhuyue crackled and finished a long sentence, completely turning into a stern adult who was teaching an ignorant little doll, so that he couldn't answer a word, after all, Zhuyue was really good for him, but the meaning he expressed was not very gentle.

"Huh?! …… Oh, okay, I'll wear it for now, but don't be complacent! Even if it's dirty, you're willing to borrow me first, but don't expect me to wash you when I go back! ”

The wind was draped on his body while not forgetting the wording, Zhuyue looked at him: "The stinky boy really doesn't forget to take advantage of any cheapness!" ”

He was already fully dressed, although the fabric really didn't play a role as he said, but for some reason it really warmed a lot, maybe his heart was also warmed to feel like this.

I saw him smile and said: "Hehe, Zhuyue, you are only two years older than me, don't give me the style of an elder, I'm not afraid, your trick has never worked in me!" You, be careful and easy to grow old with a bitter gourd face all day long! Let's go! ”

Zhuyue was kind to him, but when he saw that he choked himself so much that he couldn't say a word, he suddenly felt that what he did just now was so stupid, so he just let him freeze to death! If you can't rest all day long, you know that you are angry!

The two of them went around and around a few forks before they really saw the so-called "incinerator in Zhuyue's mouth".

It turns out that it is hidden in the most remote place at the end of the entire compound, an ordinary place to burn paper money, can it be so hidden and so heavy?! Zhu Yue felt more and more wrong in his heart, he felt as if he was about to discover something, but every time he couldn't grasp the ethereal feeling, it was so strange!

According to visual inspection, the shape and characteristics of the furnace are basically similar to those described by Taketsuki. It is more than one meter and six meters high, but the width of the opening is less than one meter, it is very small, it is a boxy rectangle, the color is black with a little brown, iron, to put it bluntly, it is a large cylindrical iron block!

But in front of Zhuyue and Feng, it is not a behemoth, after all, the height of the two young men is much taller than it.

The bottom of the stove also has a rectangular shape, but it is not the same as the opening, obviously this one is sunken in, and it is much larger than the opening, and if you look closely, there are still some ashes inside.

Zhuyue squatted down, reached in and stained some ashes, put it in his hand to observe, rubbed his fingers for a while, and then turned to the wind and said, "These are some ashes after the firewood is burned." ”

When the wind heard this, he was a little stunned, and he also squatted down to take a closer look: "It's strange, I usually burn some things that are used after worship, and they are all burned together with the fire, why do you have to separate this?" It's kind of like a ...... for cooking."

"Well, I feel the same way, but how can a normal person come here to cook? It seems that what we guessed before may be wrong, and this is not a place to burn paper money at all! ”

Zhuyue's face was grim, she looked at the wind seriously, and said word by word.

Feng waved his hand: "Although I also have doubts, but you are too decisive to deny it completely, you are not burning paper money, so what else can you do?" I really can't think of it, or can you give me an answer? ”

Zhu Yue clapped his hands and shook off the ashes in his hand, and said, "What you said is the same, it seems that if we open this opening, maybe there will be an answer inside." ”

Wind nodded in agreement.

This opening is pulled to the left, and when you touch it, you can't help but make a crunching sound.

It was pitch black inside, but I could still see that there was nothing inside. Feng pressed and said: "Look at what I say, even if there is something, it must have been burned, you say, you can see a yarn coming out." ”

"That's not necessarily, how do you know if you don't try?"

Feng naturally knows Zhuyue's temper, he will never give up easily without trying everything, his stubbornness, nine cows can't pull it in.

However, he didn't have the interest to waste time: "Okay, okay, you have to try yourself, move quickly, the sun is about to go down." ”

Taketsuki looked inside again, and it was not difficult to see that the structure inside was obviously different.

In the middle of it was a thin, straight, silvery-white iron pole, around which several round, bowl-shaped objects were formed, small enough to hold a child's fist at most. It looks like the pole is extended, and the construction is very delicate.

It's all silvery white, but there seems to be something on the bowl-shaped tops, black and black. There was nothing under the pole, but there was a faint smell, I couldn't tell if it smelled or notched, it was so faint that it was almost impossible to smell.

However, Taketsuki still noticed the abnormality, he went to touch the thing on the bowl, and found that it was some black sticky liquid, a bit like oil, and it smelled stench.

He couldn't help but frown.

Feng Jiao Erlang stood aside: "How is it, detective, have you found anything?" ”

"Wait, I'm still looking."

This reply made Feng can't help but roll his eyes, "Okay! You're really addicted! I think you're unfounded, and even if you're fine, you'll probably find out what happened. ”

Zhu Yue was a little confused, and she couldn't stand his interference on the side, so she couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "Hiss! Don't be noisy, you talk a lot! ”

Feng pouted: "Okay! Shut up! Can't I shut up?! ”

Zhu Yue didn't look back, and ignored him.

He touched the bottom again, and found what seemed to be the residue of something......

He took it out and put it in his hand, flipped it through with his fingers, and sniffed it closer, and a faint smell of medicine entered his nose, which was in stark contrast to the stench just now.

At this moment, the original erratic thoughts all returned to their places and gradually condensed into a considerable result. When the answer loomed into his mind, his eyes widened suddenly, but he couldn't believe that it could be so.

Quickly turned to the wind and shouted, "I've found the answer!" I dare to guess that this place may be the place where this family refines medicine! ”

What?! Alchemy?! Since ancient times, except for professional alchemists and physicians, the rest of the people have no knowledge of such exquisite and complex professions as alchemy, and even if they understand a little, they are just small insect carving skills and side doors, and they really can't get on the stage.

Could it be that there were doctors or alchemists stationed here before?! If so, then there are extenuating circumstances, their place of alchemy is like the heart of a person, and it is crucial! Its secrecy work, including the process of refining medicine, must not be revealed to outsiders! You must not leak the slightest rumor! Unless you want to be one of them.

Therefore, throughout the ages, if outsiders want to know a thing or two about refining medicine, it is really more difficult than digging three feet into the ground!

Feng was surprised by Taketsuki's answer, "What did you say?" Zhuyue, I think you're confused! This place is only a rich and noble family at most, Ninghe City is just the border defense place of the Eagle Country, no matter how big this mansion is, it can't be a place where princes and nobles live, how can it attract those arrogant alchemists to come and refine medicine for this?! After a long time, you can only say such ridiculous things, or are you just guessing, what are you doing? ”

Feng was a little impatient, he couldn't imagine that Taketsuki's reasoning ability had dropped to such a point!
