Chapter 43: Miniatures
The collapsed Dan House smashed down with a thud, and the scorching bricks shot out like arrows with flames.
At the moment when he was completely knocked down, Zuo Tianyou pounced on Yao Tiancheng, who was seriously injured, without thinking, and the broken bricks, copper pieces, and Dan powder fell on Zuo Tianyou's body.
However, Zuo Tianyou was not knocked unconscious, he was still very conscious, but he smelled a smell of burnt flesh, and then he felt a piercing pain in his bare neck, which was the pain of scalding, and he remembered this pain very clearly, because when he was a child, when a cup of boiling water was poured on his leg, the pain was also like this, but this time it was not boiling water, but bricks and copper sheets that were burned hot.
Ignoring the burns on his neck, Zuo Tianyou tried his best to move his body, legs and feet under the bricks again, fortunately, it's okay! The parts can still be used, so he stretched out a hand and patted the black ash on his face, tried to open his eyes that were almost sealed by the ashes, and carefully looked at the surrounding situation.
The Dan chamber had completely collapsed, and the copper furnace had been shattered, only the copper feet of the two Dan furnaces were scattered aside, and the other parts were gone. The bricks were scattered everywhere, and a gust of wind blew, and the white smoke gradually drifted away, and the sight improved.
Zuo Tianyou shook his upper body suddenly, shook off a pile of bricks pressing on his body, supported his two arms, and looked around to find Yao Tiancheng's figure.
After looking around, no. Zuo Tianyou couldn't help but wonder in his heart, I should have pressed him under the moment of the explosion, why was there all bricks under my body? Could it be that I remembered wrong, could he have been blown away?
Just as Zuo Tianyou turned his head around to look for Yao Tiancheng, a faint moan suddenly came from the pile of bricks beside him.
Huh? Wasn't he under me just now? Zuo Tianyou was very puzzled by the sound coming from his side, why did he run next to me again? Oh my God! This old man was already seriously injured, and he didn't know if he would still die after being smashed like this?
Zuo Tianyou hurriedly stood up from the broken bricks, knelt on it, and desperately tried his best to pull large and small bricks and copper pieces with both hands, and Zuo Tianyou's palms were burned red by the hot debris, but he couldn't care about the burning pain at all, there was a big living person below!
Finally, after Zuo Tianyou moved away a large stone brick, he saw Yao Tiancheng's luxurious robe, touched it, and seemed to be breathing, this time Zuo Tianyou accelerated the speed of cleaning, and soon the bricks on Yao Tiancheng's body were thrown aside, and Yao Tiancheng, who was reexposed to the fresh air outside, took two breaths of clean air, and then coughed loudly, opened his eyes slightly, and saw Zuo Tianyou's face that was almost like a panda, and a trace of doubt floated in his eyes.
Zuo Tianyou also knew that he might be unrecognizable now, so he hurriedly clarified his identity to Yao Tiancheng: "It's me, the guy from the Linxian Inn." How are you?"
Yao Tiancheng just wanted to speak, but coughed again, and tried to sit up, but he was injured, and when he got up half of his body, his brows were furrowed in pain, and he couldn't move anymore.
"Don't move, I'll help you, just now, the Dan furnace almost completely exploded, we should be safer now." Zuo Tianyou said and went to help Yao Tiancheng sit up first.
Yao Tiancheng heard Zuo Tianyou's words, his body immediately froze for two seconds, and asked anxiously: "What did you say?
When Zuo Tianyou saw him like this, he immediately became anxious: "Don't move, I don't know where the injury is, and I don't know what the injury is, so it will be more serious if you move like this." ”
Yao Tiancheng didn't listen to Zuo Tianyou's advice at all, gritted his teeth and wanted to check the things under the bricks, Zuo Tianyou looked a little angry, thinking that I tried my best to save you, but you didn't say a word of gratitude, just thinking about your alchemy furnace!
Zuo Tianyou's annoyance had not yet attacked, and there were noisy voices in the bushes in the distance, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a group of servants who had stayed here just now and waited to rescue Yao Tiancheng, and they were also frightened enough by the last explosion, and they all lay on their stomachs in the grass, not daring to move.
At this time, Uncle Que also hurried to Gulai, came to the front of the Dan room, found a ruin, and almost fainted, but fortunately saw that Yao Tiancheng was already sitting there, and then his voice whimpered and pounced: "Master, master, how are you? Where are you injured? Does it matter?" After speaking, he turned around and shouted: "A bunch of useless things! Don't you see that the old man is injured? Go! Bring the cool couch over and help the old man down!"
The domestic servants who stood in a circle got Uncle Que's order, and rushed up, a group of people lifted Yao Tiancheng with their hands and feet, and put him on a delicate couch.
Although Yao Tiancheng was knocked out by the air flow just now, he had profound skills and a strong body, although his whole body was covered with wounds, he still struggled for a while, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Que, please go back with me, and let the immortal doctor come over and take a look." After saying that, he closed his eyes. Uncle Que was instructed, so he went to the doctor first.
Yao Tiancheng's outer house in Zuo Tianyou's view is the outer study of the ancient big family, for this kind of architecture, Zuo Tianyou is very familiar with it, he has seen a lot of this kind of mansion in the ancient architecture books.
But there is one thing that makes Zuo Tianyou feel a little different, the entire wall in Yao Tiancheng's outer study is full of all kinds of ingenious miniature stoves, large and small, occupying every grid, the largest one is only the size of an adult's fist, and the particularly small one is about the size of a small walnut. The furnace on this wall felt as if it was rushing to his face, which really surprised Zuo Tianyou, and he couldn't stand in front of him and couldn't stop watching.
Furnace Ding, as the name suggests, is used to burn fire alchemy, the size may be different, Zuo Tianyou has seen some ancient furnace Ding in many documents, according to the introduction of the book, the small one is much larger than Yao Tiancheng's largest, and some huge furnace Ding was described by the ancients as standing up to the sky and the earth is not rare. The size of the furnace is generally very related to its function, because ancient alchemy requires many mechanisms to be placed in the furnace, and a sea of water used for cooling alone is the size of a small basin. Therefore, the Dan furnace cannot be too small, otherwise the furnace will even become a problem to operate.
And Yao Tiancheng's Dan furnace on this wall obviously does not meet the requirements of alchemy, and some of the larger pills are only afraid that they are larger than the smallest Dan furnace.
Did he have a habit of collecting models of Dan furnaces? These tiny Dan furnaces were all collected by him?
Zuo Tianyou immediately overturned his assumption. This is the world of cultivating immortals, there is nothing here that is useless, especially related to cultivation is even more wonderful in its own way, getting a Dan furnace in the Yao family, which is famous for alchemy, is just a decoration, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible.
If that's the case, his wall stove must have something practical. But can such a small Dan furnace be used for alchemy? Just now I saw the Dan furnace used for alchemy in his family in the Dan room that did not collapse, it was not a little guy, Zuo Tianyou estimated it in his heart, and felt that the furnace was only higher than himself.
Yao Tiancheng was carried by the servant to a couch inside, lay down for a while, drank a few sips of water, slowly recovered some of his spirits, looked around, and found that Zuo Tianyou was looking at the wall of Dan furnace outside, so he said, "Your Excellency, come in and have a cup of tea." ”
Zuo Tianyou heard Yao Tiancheng speak, and hurriedly came in and asked, "Are you awake? ”
Yao Tiancheng smiled slightly: "Hero I am in a moment of crisis, I haven't thanked me yet, how can I be too bothered! It's too polite!" After speaking, he coughed twice, and then asked: "How is your health? It seems that you are in good spirits." ”
Zuo Tianyou nodded and said, "I'm fine, it's just that there are a few burns, and it's not in the way." ”
Yao Tiancheng was a little surprised and said: "If my Dan furnace explodes, the power should be not small, Your Excellency is really in good health!
Zuo Tianyou was reminded by him like this, and he felt that it was indeed a little strange. Whether it was Yao Tiancheng or Yao Jianmu, when the hot air jet spewed out, they were all stunned, only although he hid in time, he was basically not seriously injured, and he had to say that it was a little magical.
But his body was fine, and of course Zuo Tianyou didn't bother to study why, his mind was full of those exquisite Dan furnaces.
Yao Tiancheng saw that Zuo Tianyou still couldn't help but look at the small furnace outside the ding, so he asked with a smile: "Your Excellency is curious about the furnace ding outside?"
When Zuo Tianyou heard this, he immediately came to his senses and exclaimed: "These furnaces of yours are really strange and interesting!But I don't know what practical use they are? Or are they just used for decoration?" After Zuo Tianyou and Yao Jianmu called him a brother, he found that this family had a very bold personality, and this Yao Tiancheng in front of him was a master among alchemists, and he was old, so what to say would definitely have the best effect.
The wound on Yao Tiancheng's body was still a little painful, and his brows were still wrinkled, but Zuo Tianyou had a life-saving grace for him, so he still adjusted his breath and said slowly: "Your Excellency is really as wise as a torch. The Dan furnaces placed here are all rare treasures, and they are not so simple as decorations. I have studied alchemy since I was a child, and I especially like to collect Dan furnaces, which are some of the fine Dan furnaces I have collected since I was a child, some of which are very old, even dating back to ancient times. ”
When Zuo Tianyou heard this, he was even more amazed, and then asked: "This Dan furnace is extremely small, how can it be used for alchemy?"
Yao Tiancheng smiled a little weakly, and then explained: "This is a high-level spell, this spell can shrink the Dan furnace to a very small size, and this is done to make it easy to carry. Before he could finish speaking, there was another violent gasp.
Zuo Tianyou heard this wheezing sound and felt that the scorching air flow in the Dan furnace just now still had some damage to Yao Tiancheng's muscles and veins, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, picked up a cup of tea by the couch, and wanted to feed Yao Tiancheng two sips, just picked up the cup, only to hear a rush of footsteps outside the house, and a group of people lifted the curtain and walked in.
