Chapter 11: Three Golden Pills
"Master Tai, Master Tai!" Zhou Yi suddenly felt that something was wrong, and almost jumped up in surprise.
Zhou Tianyong was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Yi stared, his two hands circled around his ears, thinking about something intently, looking at his expression, he was very excited.
Suddenly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and huge beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Zhou Yi looked at Tian Yong, and after a while, he spoke: "Master Tai, if I remember correctly, you told me that Ge Yuan refined three golden pills to save Master Tai, right?"
This sentence made Zhou Tianyong look stunned.
He did say that, and it did.
"And what about the third one?"
Tian Yong was dumbfounded, and couldn't say a word.
When Ge Yuan was refining pills, he had visited Xuantian Temple many times, and Ge Yuan revealed to him at that time that in order to completely cure Jiang Weng's injury, he needed to take Jindan for three consecutive years, and at the beginning of September every year, when the Double Yang Festival. Later, Jiang Weng died of illness, he went to Xuantian Temple to thank Xiao, and Ge Yuan also told him personally that the three golden pills were about to be refined, but unfortunately Jiang Weng couldn't wait.
From this point of view, as Zhou Yi asked, he did say about the three golden pills, although Zhou Yi did not ask again, but the question is still clear, twenty years ago, he and Yu Guangling put the moyu into the Dan furnace to calcinate again, but what they got was two golden pills!
Because of the rumors on the rivers and lakes at that time, people knew that Mo Yu swallowed Jindan and became a demon of fish and flesh, and over time, people's fear of this matter also covered up the problems of Jindan. Therefore, what people paid attention to later was that Jindan had returned to Wuxiang Mountain, and some people began to think about this bane, who cares how many it is!
Zhou Tianyong was stunned for a long time, and looked blank in the face of Zhou Yi.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi also began to speculate wildly, "Master Tai, you know the way of alchemy, will it be that one of them will be burned to ashes by you?"
"Impossible!" Tian Yong replied in a stern manner, "The golden sand used to refine the golden pill is the golden sand from the Western Regions, which can be dissolved when exposed to weak water, but it is difficult for the fire to burn it. Therefore, Ge Yuan used the blood of Qiqi to make it into porridge, and then mixed it with more than 100 kinds of medicines, under the calcination of the fire, the dansha can keep the herbs from being burned, and the fire can stimulate all the medicinal effects. ”
Zhou Yi listened and couldn't help nodding, "I see, this is completely different from the principle of alchemy and mercury by Jianghu warlocks, so the pill you get can really save people's lives." ”
Although the truth is so, the question still exists, where did the third golden pill go?
The grandfather and grandson were puzzled, and Tian Yong was also uneasy.
"Master Tai, will Old Immortal Ge take one of them to save others?" Zhou Yi suddenly thought of this possibility, "There was a deep friendship with him back then, except for Master Tai, but there were others?"
Tian Yong stroked his beard and frowned, "Judging from his medical ethics, there is indeed this possibility, but Jin Dan is not an ordinary elixir after all, in case the rescued person's heart is not right, I am afraid that it will cause unexpected disasters." Besides, not long after the Jin Dan was refined, there was a rebellion of Moyu, and it was less than half a year in total, who would he save?"
When Zhou Yi heard him say this, his curiosity surged up, "At that time, which respected people in the rivers and lakes reported serious illnesses?"
Tian Yong thought for a moment and shook his head, after all, more than 20 years have passed, who can clearly remember who was seriously ill in the next half a year at that time!
"Twenty years, from the Jindan refining to the rebellion of Molu, the people and things that can make me remember in the past six months are nothing more than Ji Yin's subordination, and then Brother Ji Heng was killed......" Speaking of this, Tian Yong looked shocked, he was just about to speak, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.
"No, it's because I think about it too much, the brothers Ji Heng and Ji Yin did worship under Ge Yuanmen, but ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Yi couldn't wait to ask: "What's the matter??Ji Heng and Ji Yin are also Ge Yuan's apprentices?" Zhou Yi was as excited as if he had suddenly found the answer to his question, "Since there is the friendship between master and apprentice, then Mr. Ge will definitely not die without help!"
Tian Yong sighed: "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other. Ji Yin was ordered by the emperor to be executed, and the chief manager Qu Rong personally supervised in the Ji Mansion, and Ge Yuan had no chance to save him at all. Besides, Ji Yin died of poisoning, and it stands to reason that Jin Dan could also save his life, but at that time, Ji Yin left his last words and asked the court to cremate him. Many people were present that day, and Ji Yin's body was indeed burned to ashes in the raging fire. ”
"What about Ji Heng, he is a great hero praised by the world, Ge Yuan must be reluctant to give up this apprentice, right?"
"Hey!" Tian Yong became more and more melancholy, "If I can save him, I believe that Ge Yuan will never be stingy with those three golden pills......!"
Tian Yong wanted to speak and stopped, his face full of distress, "It's just that Brother Ji Heng was beheaded by the Turks and died, and even when he was buried, he couldn't get his whole body!"
When Zhou Yi heard this, he closed his eyes tightly, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Hey, since the origin is a mystery, and the whereabouts are a mystery, more than 20 years of old things, don't mention it!" Tian Yong kicked the horse's belly a few times and walked forward quickly.
Zhou Yi could only see his back, lonely and desolate.
==***==
Zhou Yi still didn't understand one thing, but it was no longer appropriate to ask Tian Yong at this time, just when Zhou Shiya came over with a horse team, Zhou Yi felt like a crazy seed was planted in his heart, and the mysteries that had to be uncovered had made him unable to stop.
"Master Tai, can you tell Yi'er about why Doctor Ge accepted Ji En's two sons as apprentices back then? Could it be that Xuanyuan Sword is not as famous as Ge Yuan in the rivers and lakes?"
Shiya originally didn't know what he and Tian Yong were talking about, but when he heard Zhou Yi ask this, he guessed eight or nine, and at this time, Zhou Tian Yong left silently, I am afraid that it is also because of the memory of the deceased.
"Why didn't you ask your master? Ji Heng is your master's best friend!"
Zhou Yi said with a calm face: "Yi'er is afraid that if he asks too much, he will be sad." ”
Shiya smiled slightly, he knew Zhou Yi's temperament, this kid is just too stubborn, even if he doesn't say it now, he will think of the law to entangle himself in the future.
"Well, it's not a secret, I'll give you a rough idea, after all, I don't know very well. ”
"Thank you, Master!" Zhou Yi finally had a smile on his face.
"Back then, after Ji En was dismissed, he still left his two sons in the court, and they were both prominent and important positions. Ji Heng followed Yanshan Wang Dong Guo Tan to fight on the battlefield, and he made military achievements outside, and Ji Yin was promoted from the prince's companion to the prince Zhan Shi, and he had political resources inside. In addition, the prestige of Xuanyuan Sword is unmatched in the rivers and lakes, and those troubled people began to talk about it, saying, "The unrest of the world is not because the monarch is weak, but because the warriors are not subordinate, and in the long run, I am afraid that the country will not be protected." It's just that Ji En is a person who pays attention to fame, and what he values most is the Xuanyuan Sword that he created single-handedly. Therefore, he ordered his two sons to resign and return to their hometowns and make a white dress. What's more, in order to dispel the rumors in the court, he also asked Ji Heng and Ji Yin to worship Ge Yuan as a teacher, forcing them to abandon martial arts and practice medicine. This is a mystery that people do not see today. ”
Zhou Yi nodded, and the mystery in his heart had gradually been solved, "Since Ji Heng resigned and returned to his hometown, he can be regarded as worthy of his fate, but why did he go to the battlefield again?"
Shiya said: "A good man, his ambition is to serve the country on the way!" Ji Heng is such a passionate hero. Later, the Turks raised troops again, and Ashina Dadun led 200,000 troops, and the troops went south in three routes, and there was no grass everywhere he went! At that time, Hou Yue, a hussar general with heavy troops in the court, had 300,000 troops in the pass, but only 50,000 troops were given to Dongguo Tan to meet the enemy. Dong Guo Lie, the son of Dong Guo Tan, was afraid that he would not be able to defeat the enemy, so he went to Xuantian Temple in person and invited Ji Heng back. ”
"I'm afraid I don't necessarily need him to invite, a general who cares about the world, but whenever the common people suffer from misery, he will definitely come forward!"
Shiya smiled: "I think that's true." ”
"And then? Is it still winning more with less?"
"That's natural, the commander of the general, the Xuanyuan Sword is easy to use among the three armies, Ji Heng is the one who used Ashina's head to force the Turks to retreat!"
"Well, does Xuanyuan Sword still have disciples?"
Shiya looked at Zhou Yi and smiled reluctantly, and the weakest part of his heart began to ache faintly. He looked at the north from afar, and a familiar and mottled name came to his mind, but it was inconvenient to mention the old things that had been forgotten by people in this field today.
"I don't remember exactly, maybe there is, maybe they're all gone!"
Zhou Yi wanted to speak again, but was rejected by Shiya with a shake of his hand, "Yi'er, what has already passed, if you mention it again, it will be a whipping of the surviving!"
Zhou Yi's heart was like a lightning strike, he had heard of Zhou Shiya's life experience, and when he asked today, it seemed that he had touched his wounds.
Although the two passed by, the past events obtained from the mouths of the two masters were like legends, which not only ignited the curiosity of the unknown in his heart, but also added countless mysteries to his originally ignorant mind.
It's just that the two masters are old, and it seems that they can't be in a hurry to uncover his brother's old case. But Zhou Yi never let go in his heart, he took these things as a beginning, trying to remove this obstacle and reveal the true face of Lushan.
