Alchemy
Shi Yu didn't want to let others know the news of his coming to Beiyan, so he lived alone in an inter-hospital.
The main building in the house was being stripped down and rebuilt, and Zhao Shi was busy for two days to deal with some chores, so he came to Shiyu's courtyard with all the prepared materials.
The stone fish had already been looking forward to it, and after waiting for two days, when he saw that Zhao Shi was coming with the materials, he hurriedly Zhang Luo immediately made alchemy.
There are more than a dozen jars and jars, with stickers on the outside, and two small tripods, one bronze and one red gold.
"Proportion?" Stone fish took out a pen and paper.
“…… Four taels of red sand, one or two eight coins of yellow stone, two or eight coins ......, smoke extinguished into phosphoserine two taels or three coins ......, when the black juice has no slag, half of the cold silkworm is entered, and the cold air rises after being completely dissolved. …… The root of the blue prisoner flower is boiled, and the red jade powder is one or two or three coins........."
Zhao Shi took out the booklet and read it again, Shiyu wrote it down, and then began to weigh it in the same way with a small scale. All materials are ready.
Finally, two jade boxes were opened, one containing a silkworm and the other containing an egg-sized vine root. With a flick of his finger, a black line evenly divided the silkworm in half from the middle.
Then he weighed it with a small scale, cut about one-third of the vine root with his hand, weighed it and cut off a little.
Prepare the materials, then put the red gold tripod on the stove set up in advance, ignite the stone charcoal below, half an hour, the red gold tripod has been burned red, and then pour the prepared red sand into it, the red sand is dark red, and after a while it turns black, and then pour the second ......
After another half an hour, some black smoke began to come out of the red gold tripod, and the stone fish sat in front of the furnace and stretched out his palm, urging the internal force, and the carbon fire under the furnace hissed under the pressure of the palm, and the color began to turn incandescent.
The black smoke in the ding is getting thicker and thicker, and when the black smoke gradually disappears, the black liquid in the ding has become a black liquid.
The stone fish placed its palm on the red edge of the ding, and the liquid inside began to rotate under the urging of the palm.
"Bring the Han silkworm" Shi Yu's voice was a little hoarse, and Zhao Shi hurriedly brought the jade box over.
Shiyu picked up half of the silkworm, hesitated slightly, and threw the silkworm into the ding.
Zhao Shi estimated that the temperature in this Ding must be over 1,000, thinking that this cold silkworm would disappear as soon as it entered. Who knew that the silkworm arrived in the ding, but nothing happened, turning with the swirling black juice.
The stone fish began to stir the charcoal fire again, and the silkworm rotated in the ding, slowly getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.
Zhao Shi didn't pay attention to when the color of this tripod returned to normal, it was no longer red, and the black juice inside turned slower and slower, and finally formed a bowl shape in the tripod, which was extremely smooth.
Shiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, probably because of this extremely energy-consuming body, as a golden pill, Shiyu's face turned pale from tiredness. He took the tripod off the stove, covered it with the lid, and set it aside.
Zhao Shi touched it and found that Ding was cold, which subverted the knowledge that Zhao Shi had learned in his previous life.
"Don't move," the stone fish shouted viciously, and then put another bronze tripod on another stove, and under this stove was not charcoal, but firewood.
Half a drop of water was added to the bronze tripod, and then firewood was lit. After the water boils, the auxiliary material channel begins to enter the ding, which is much simpler than the previous one, and most of them are some plants.
Burned for almost an hour, there is only a small layer of water left in the ding, the stone fish takes the red fire vine root and puts it in the ding, the boiling water in the ding becomes red in a moment, the boiling water is quiet a little bit, only a little broken bubbles emerge on the side of the ding wall.
The fire was not vigorous, but the bronze tripod slowly turned dark red, and the juice inside was still bubbling a little.
The stone fish kept stuffing firewood under the stove, and it kept boiling until midnight, with a thick red liquid inside. The stone fish fished out the residue inside, and the vine roots were only a net-like mass.
The stone fish filled the firewood, then ignored it, and began to meditate on the side, resting for a while and looking better.
Then put the two tripods side by side, and pressed his hands on the red gold tripod with a solemn expression.
After a while, the bowl-shaped solids inside moved little by little, and in about the time of two pillars of incense, all the inside turned into black juice, which rotated rapidly against the wall of the tripod, slowly revealing the bottom of the tripod.
The stone fish roared, and slapped the wall of the bronze tripod next to him with his free right hand, and the red juice in it swirled and pulled out a column of water, drawing an arc into the middle of the red gold tripod to expose the top wall. In a moment, it all flowed to the middle of the red gold tripod.
The moment the black and red came into contact, the juice that had been spinning rapidly suddenly froze, and the middle was red, and the sides were black.
The stone fish hurriedly pressed the red gold tripod wall with both hands, and the inside began to rotate slowly again, gradually gathering black and red to one side, and the tripod began to make a buzzing sound.
A white mist appeared on the stone fish's head, and the robe on its body swelled up like an inflated one, and its face was as bloodless as a dead man.
After about six or seven turns, there were two dull roars in the ding, like thunder, and then black and red smoke rose up, but the taste was very refreshing, and the smell made people feel refreshed.
The two hands of the stone fish hung down weakly, and after a long time, the smoke faded, and the black and red colors in the ding rotated and intersected, with a round head and a thin tail, like a yin and yang Taiji diagram.
"Is it done?" Zhao Shi asked curiously.
Shi Yu ignored him, took a long breath, reached out and began to dig in the ding, both hands trembling a little. Qiu Zhengyang Chengdan's furnace is like this in the end.
The stone fish's heart was about to jump out, and soon found a black pill on the red side, smaller than the grapes, emitting a dark luster.
Then I found a crimson pill on the black side, which was smaller than the black one.
Shi Yu put the two pills aside, and then poured out all the residues in the tripod and crushed them one by one, but in the end, there was no third pill, and his originally gray face was even more dilapidated.
"You read that recipe once," the stone fish said hoarsely.
Zhao Shi took out the booklet and read it again, and Shi Yu took out the paper he recorded in his arms and compared it word by word.
Not a word is bad, Shiyu grabbed the booklet and looked at it blankly.
"Isn't this out of Dan?" Zhao Shi stretched out his hand to take a look at the two pills on the ground.
"Put it down" Shiyu roared angrily, startling Zhao Shi, shrinking his neck, and said in his heart, this person is crazy.
Seeing that Shi Yu had been staring blankly at the booklet that was a book of heaven for him, Zhao Shi got up and dusted off the soil on his body, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
Just came back two days ago, Hong Yan, who accompanied him the first day, went to Guan Tingwan last night, Zhou Ruolan and Guan Tingwan lived together, and the three of them spent a ridiculous night.
Gu'er and Ning Cui are still waiting today, there is a Wang Ke outside, and someone has said a few times that there are "important" matters, and in the middle of the night, who has the heart to go crazy with him.
……
It was too late in the evening, Zhao Shi got up at noon, and went to Wang Ke to study "important" matters for an afternoon in the afternoon.
"Did the one in the side yard do anything today?"
"No, I didn't even take the food that was placed at the door," Zhou Ruolan's personal maid Die'er replied.
As he spoke, he leaned Zhao Shi, and his two big eyes were about to burst out of the water.
No, the deficit in the past two days is too serious, Zhao Shi suppressed his thoughts, and pinched Die'er's ass: "Get out, I still have business"
"Annoying" Die'er stretched out her little foot and kicked Zhao Shi, twisting her little butt and swaying away.
Zhao Shi asked people to pack a food box and carried it to the side yard.
When I opened the door, I found that the stone fish was still sitting there, and the position of the things on the side was the same as last night.
This old thing sat on this day without moving, Zhao Shi was very surprised.
"Shi Changzhi, if it doesn't work this time, let's refine another furnace, don't worry so much, come, eat something first"
"Where's the difference?" Shi Yu ignored Zhao Shi and asked to himself.
……
During the day of the next day, the stone fish started another furnace, but the result was not as good as the first time, and only one red pill was produced. There was another one that was not much bigger than a grain of rice, and he said it was the black pill.
"Come, read me all the records of your father"
Zhao Shi nodded, this Qiu Zhengyang tried a dozen times in total, Zhao Shi read it one by one, and Shi Yu copied it down with paper.
"Isn't this already out of Dan? Isn't that right? ”
"No, the real Dan is red when you see the sun, black when you see the moon, and gray when you don't see the sun and moon, this Dan is not right, it's a waste Dan" Shi Yu finished speaking, picked up the black pill from the previous day and threw it into his mouth and took it.
Then Panxi meditated, and after a while, he saw that his pale face began to turn rosy, and after a long time, he opened his eyes and exhaled.
"No, compared to the real Dan, this is garbage, or something is wrong, tomorrow the furnace is trying"
After eating this pill, the stone fish was obviously full of energy.
……
"Master, master......" Butterfly called at the door.
"What to shout, what to shout? It's not clear in the morning, wait," Zhao Shi shouted impatiently from the bed.
Zhou Ruolan crawled out in a panic and began to put clothes on her body, and Zhao Shi reached out and slapped her on the buttocks.
"Take care of your maid, you don't know anything at all" Zhao Shi muttered, turned around and went to the quilt to touch Guan Tingwan.
"What are you kicking me for?"
"Get out of here, I still want to sleep."
……
Zhou Ruolan waited for Zhao Shi to get dressed, washed her face, opened the door and saw Die'er standing at the door, reaching out to grab her braids: "It's on fire?" Hurrying"
"I didn't ...... The one in the side yard said that the silkworm and vine roots are gone, let me find you and send them quickly."
", do you really think this is your home? Tell him it's gone."
Die'er said a little timidly: "Let's say it, I don't dare"
Zhao Shi sighed: "I'll go in a while"
Before Zhao Shi could go out, Hong Yan came.
"Sir, the Eastern Han Dynasty gave us a letter of state"
"Oh?" Zhao Shi took a bright yellow scroll, opened it and looked at it: "Oh, I'm preparing for peace talks, I don't plan to go to war, just come, hey, Zheng Ping is coming?" What is he here for? Threaten me with a golden pill? Tell them to come, Zheng Ping don't come, think I'm not messy enough here."
Zhao Shi said and threw the scroll to Hong Yan.
But I felt that the name of the last person was wrong, so I reached out and snatched it back, opened it and looked at the end carefully.
"Coco? But that piano sings everyone's cocoa? ”
Guan Tingwan didn't know when she ran out, wrapped in a robe and stretched out her head to look.
"What are you doing here?" Zhao Shi pulled her robe, revealing her smooth and straight legs: "I'm not dressed properly, I'm naked."
"There's no outsider, who hasn't seen anyone, don't interrupt, right?"
"It should be."
"Remember to call me when he comes," Guan Tingwan showed the expression of a little fan girl.
"Hmm" Zhao Shi replied and closed the scroll and handed it to Hong Yan: "Just let the envoy go back like this, everyone else in the mission can do it, Zheng Ping don't come"
"Huh? How could this Coco come with the emissary group? It won't be something with you," Guan Ting looked at Zhao Shi suspiciously.
"What nonsense," Zhao Shi pretended to be angry.
……
"None"
"What? Impossible, you and I don't know how many things you got back in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Southern Jin Dynasty? ”
"Then do you know how much silver this cold silkworm, a vine root, costs to my Beiyan? You have already spent millions of taels of silver in the past half a month, and my annual income in Beiyan is estimated to be not enough for you to get two or three months."
Zhao Shi couldn't help it, he opened more than a dozen furnaces in the past half a month, almost one furnace a day, and no matter how big the family business was, he couldn't stand it.
"Hey, don't give it? I'm afraid I can't help you, I don't know if it's the silver two important or your life is important? ”
The stone fish suddenly showed a fierce light, and as soon as he raised his hand, a black line rushed straight to Zhao Shi.
