72. Prepare materials

"It's a good thing for young people to have ideas, but it's not a good thing to be reckless!"

"Yes! Ge Hong, I've tried it more times than you've ever tasted! Imperial Physician Qin shook his head and said, "It's a pity that it doesn't work at all!" ”

"Then let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see!" After Zhang Muzhi gently helped Zhang Tianshi Zhang Normal down, he hurriedly withdrew from the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

"Look, follow me to get something!" Zhang Muzhi looked at Li Yusong, who was stunned in place.

"Here, Uncle Junior!"

Li Yusong hurriedly kept up with Zhang Muzhi's pace, and Zhu Biao was also very curious, so he hurriedly followed!

The two followed Zhang Muzhi's steps to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in Longhu Mountain.

"What are you doing here?"

Zhu Biao continued to follow, and Zhang Muzhi had already pushed the door open.

There was a small Taoist priest standing at the door, who was talking to Zhang Muzhi, "I've seen Uncle Xiaoshi, what is Uncle Xiao doing here?" ”

Zhang Muzhi didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly, "Find me a book!" ”

"Uncle Junior, what book are you looking for?"

"Find out the book "Yellow Emperor Jiuding Shendan Sutra" written by Gu Gangzi in the Tang Dynasty!"

The little Taoist priest just wanted to go in and find him the book on alchemy, when a lazy old man came out of it.

The old man stretched his waist and yawned, "No one has borrowed this book for a long time, you are here for alum oil!" ”

"Exactly!" Zhang Muzhi responded.

"You stand here and don't move, I'll be back in a moment!"

The old man stretched his waist and walked in, and in a moment he took out a bottle of alum oil!

This alum oil is also a method for refining sulfuric acid recorded in this book "Yellow Emperor Jiuding Shendan Sutra".

"Take it!"

"Thank you!" Zhang Muzhi took the alum oil and was about to leave.

"Slowly, as a thank you for the three jars of good wine buried in the mountain behind you, it's not too much to miss two jars!" The old man squinted and patted him on the shoulder.

"You ......" Zhang Mu was stunned, and then said, "That's it, you don't drink it all!" ”

He immediately called Li Yusong and said, "Go and dig out the wine I buried in the back mountain!" ”

"Uncle Xiao, when is this, are you still in the mood to drink?"

"What do you think, wine is used to heal the old man!"

Li Yusong immediately went to the back mountain and dug out the jars of wine brewed by Zhang Muzhi.

These wines are all made by Zhang Muzhi with modern technology, and they have almost 60 degrees of alcohol.

"Let's go, I'll take you to pick stinky artemisia!" Zhang Muzhi handed Zhu Biao a basket.

"Good!" Zhu Biao followed him to pick stinky artemisia.

Soon, they found a large patch of stinky artemisia at the foot of the mountain!

In March and April, Artemisia annua has begun to grow, but the artemisinin content in Artemisia annua is lower than that during the fruit-picking period.

But this thing is a whole herb, so as long as you pick more, the effect is the same!

Until the third pole of the sun, the two of them carried a basket full of yellow artemisia up the mountain.

Behind him, Zhu Biao's guards were carrying a large bundle on their backs, and the place where the yellow artemisia grew was directly bald!

The three imperial doctors on the mountain sat on the stone bench and looked at the stinky artemisia they had picked back, and couldn't help laughing.

"Why are the imperial doctors laughing?"

It was none other than Zhu Biao who said this!

If the fruits of his labor are not recognized by others, of course he is not happy!

"My lord, this is not Artemisia annua, this thing is called Artemisia annua, also called Artemisia annua!"

Imperial Physician Liu's words made Zhu Biao stunned in place. Could it be that they have been busy for a long time, and they actually picked the wrong herbs?

"Artemisia annua leaves are dark green or brownish-green, with curly leaves with comb-like pinnate deep fissures." Imperial Physician Qin hurriedly explained, "Although the leaves of this yellow artemisia are also green, they will turn yellow when they are old!" ”

"Such a subtle difference, if you are not a perennial herb picker, I'm afraid you won't be able to tell the difference!"

"So, even if it's wrong, it's common sense!"

Zhang Muzhi stepped forward and said, "Several imperial doctors are really extraordinary, but what I want to pick is Artemisia annua, not Artemisia annua!" ”

"What?" Several people frowned, as if they had heard a joke.

"Ge Hong's "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" records that Artemisia annua is a hand, soaked in two liters of water, wringed to extract the juice, and served it." Imperial Physician Liu said contemptuously, "Although this method doesn't work, but what is clearly recorded on it is Artemisia annua, is it possible to replace it with Artemisia annua?" ”

Several imperial doctors looked at the hesitant Zhang family brothers and said, "Two, malaria is really incurable, it's not that I can't wait for it!" ”

"Yu Chu, Yu Qing, I will treat the diseases they can't cure!" Zhang Muzhi patted his chest and said.

Several imperial doctors smiled and did not continue to speak.

After all, in their eyes, Zhang Muzhi couldn't even distinguish between Artemisia annua and Artemisia annua, and it was impossible to cure malaria that even they couldn't help!

"Don't talk big, we know that you are a skilled doctor, but no matter how powerful you are, can you be as powerful as a doctor?" Zhang Yuchu said, "I know you are comforting me, after all, my father is the one who raised us!" ”

"That's it, it doesn't make sense with you!" Zhang Muzhi asked people to transport all the collected artemisia annua back to his place of residence.

After lunch, he brought out high-purity wine and prepared alum oil, which was his first step in making medicine.

He's going to make ether!

He made a miniature version of the kiln out of mud.

As the temperature in the kiln slowly rose to a temperature that could be fired, he placed the wine container on top and used a homemade dropper to mix the alum oil into the wine, drop by drop.

His whole body is hot and sweating, in this ancient time when the conditions are very poor, he has to concentrate even more, what he wants to do is a success!

One, two, three......

As time passes little by little, as the last alum oil is well mixed.

All he had to do now was wait quietly, and finally he extracted the ether.

"Are you doing alchemy?"

Zhu Biao on one side also looked at Zhang Muzhi intently throughout the whole process, and didn't ask questions until he finished Zhu Biao.

"Sort of, but it's not too rigorous!"

"That'...... So is this the elixir of life? ”

Zhang Muzhi walked up to Zhu Biao and gently tapped his head and said, "Changsheng, you are big, how can there be such a thing as an elixir in the world!" ”

"And what are you doing with this thing?"

"To save the old man's life!"

"A few of you cut these dayemisia pieces and set them aside for later use!"

Zhang Muzhi looked at the others around him again, "A few of you go and take out the jar in my house and clean it for later use!" ”

After a few people had finished the work he had ordered, he put the artemisia annua cut into pieces in the jar, and then poured all the ether into it!
