Chapter 182: Did the Old Man Really Refine Gold?

Yan Junqing read solemnly:

Wills

I, Xie Yunqing, am sixty-eight years old. I gave Xie Jiazhuang as an inheritance to Xie Yan and Xie Juan.

The land is divided into two areas of equal size by a small river. I gave Xie Juan the land and manor on the right side of the river, hoping that she could live in the manor, just as I did when I was alive.

The land on the left bank of the river and the small log cabin used for hunting in the woods were gifted to her sister Xie Yan. Xie Yan is already married and travels to Dongzhou and other places frequently, so she can use this cottage as a villa.

However, Xie Yan's land was slightly smaller than that of her sister Juanzi, and the wooden hut used for hunting was dilapidated, and it would cost a lot of money to convert it into a more magnificent villa.

I am going to bequeath 3.5 million yuan to Xie Yan as the cost of building the villa. However, this is not a sum of cash, nor is it money in a bank, but a gold powder that I have refined with alchemy techniques. According to the market price, it is estimated to be worth at least $3.5 million. About where these gold powders are stored, I will write on another piece of paper.

I have truly refined pure gold, a great idea that mankind has dreamed of, and I have finally succeeded in experimenting. I have made a memo of the specific methods and steps for extracting gold from lead, and I have recorded it in detail. When the time comes, I'm ready to make it public.

Now, the only person who is fully convinced that I have succeeded is the notary public, Mr. Yan Junqing, because I once gave him a few grams of pure gold powder that I had extracted.

Fearing that there would be a misunderstanding in the division of the inheritance, I drew up a map with detailed boundaries on it, and you should use this map as the basis for the division.

I'll keep this map in the drawer at the right of the lab, and if I open it, I can see the boundaries of the area. In order to successfully divide the land in two, I devised the following method:

When Juanzi was a child, she often went to the three willow trees to play and play, and drew a line from the willow tree in the middle to the westernmost roof pillar at the gate of the manor, and drew a line as a dividing line.

"That's what the will says."

Yan Junqing took out a handkerchief and wiped the beads of sweat from his head. Everyone let out a chorus of amazement.

When the three willow trees were mentioned in the will, Juanzi and Lang Xiaobai understood and quickly exchanged glances.

For both of them, the meaning of this sentence is too great. If the location of the three willow trees is consistent with what was written in Xie Yunqing's will, then there is no problem. However, if someone moves them somewhere else, there is a clear difference in the size of the two plots of land drawn with it as a dividing line.

When her sister Xie Yan heard the "gold powder", she seemed to feel incredible, and her big eyes opened wide.

And Xiao Bin, who was sitting next to him, just smiled coldly, he never believed in alchemy.

"So, this means that there is pure gold powder worth 3.5 million yuan hidden in a corner of this manor? Guys, can you believe it?" Xiao Bin said mockingly.

Seeing Xiao Bin's disdainful expression, Juanzi raised her face and said slowly: "I believe it!"

"What? Miss!"

"There is indeed a refined powder of pure gold."

"How so?...... I can't believe it. ”

"No, that's true. During the three months I came to the manor, I spent every day exploring, indulging in innocent childhood memories, and I often went to my grandfather's small house for experiments, holding up each experimental vessel to remember my deceased grandfather, and quietly wept.

"I found a map of the estate in my grandfather's laboratory, which I had helped my grandfather draw when I was a child. After a while, I found the gold powder that my grandfather had extracted. ”

"You've found ...... But until today...... Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Xie Yan's tone was very angry.

"It's my fault that I didn't mention it to you. But my grandfather once told me, 'Even if I succeed in refining pure gold, I will not want to tell outsiders about it.' Because if I do that, not only will no one believe me, but they will probably think I'm insane.

"So, I'm going to hide the pure gold powder in an unknown place, and even you won't know about it, so my grandfather told me. Little did I know that my grandfather had succeeded in refining pure gold powder. However, a few days after finding the map, I stumbled upon pure gold and was amazed.

"Grandfather was such an extraordinary man, he finally refined the pure gold powder, and he finally got his wish. But I suddenly remembered that my grandfather had said that he did not want to reveal alchemy to the world or to tell us, so I quietly put it back in its place and never told anyone about it again. I'm sorry, sister, I have a hard time, please forgive me. ”

"It doesn't matter." Xie Yan paused, and then continued: "Didn't my grandfather's will state that alchemy would be announced to the public when the time came? I think there's never been a better time to do it. ”

"Yes, the time has come."

Lang Xiaobai, who had been silent, spoke at this time.

"Alright! Since everyone thinks so, then I'll take you to see the gold powder that my grandfather has extracted, please follow me!"

Everyone followed Juanzi up the stairs.

Juanzi led the group to the large attic on the roof. It was a very spacious room, full of shabby furniture and luggage. In one corner of the room lay a broken cabinet with many porcelain pots, some of which had cracked and cracked.

"Here." Juanzi pointed to a porcelain pot on the side.

Xiao Bin took it off with both hands.

I saw that the porcelain pot was covered with dust, and when Xiao Bin opened the lid, he couldn't help but scream. I saw a golden glow in the dark room.

"Ah...... Gold ......," Xiao Bin muttered to himself. "Yes, it's gold."

Yan Junqing took out a handful from the pot. "These are exactly the same as the gold dust that Mr. Xie Yunqing gave me before, no, not exactly. These powder particles are relatively large and are no longer powders. To be precise, it has turned into gold sand. He said excitedly.

The other porcelain pot was also full of gold.

"These alone are worth as much as three and a half million...... That's a huge legacy. ”

"So, Mr. Xie Yunqing has really refined gold? It's incredible! From the point of view of modern science, this is absolutely impossible!"

Xiao Bin was also very excited.

"It's truly a miracle. Since ancient times, mankind has dreamed of refining gold from lead, and now that Mr. Xie Yunqing has completed this problem, all the chemical books have to be rewritten...... But how did Mr. Xie Yunqing do this?"
