Chapter 31 Zhang Wen
It’s the medicinal material that disappeared inexplicably.
The process of refining alchemy is very simple, that is, many Taoist boys continue to add wood to the bottom of the furnace to light the fire.
The cauldron was heated to a boil, and the fire was kept constant. After about six or seven days, streams of strangely colorful phosphorescent steam flowed out from the gaps in the cauldron, covering the entire alchemy room.
The layers of color seem to have given birth to some weird spiritual creature, which can extinguish the furnace.
This represents the success of the pill.
Opening the pagoda-like top cover, climbing up the ladder and taking a look, I saw that all the materials in the full cauldron had disappeared. The cauldron became empty, with only a fist-sized piece left.
Black mud-like medicinal mud lay at the bottom of the cauldron.
This is the elixir of longevity ointment they need to refine.
But why this happens is really hard to understand.
Such a big cauldron should not be burned dry even if it is filled with water for 7 days, not to mention that it is filled with various bones, ores, cinnabar, tree roots, pure gold, and some rare metals. In the end,
This kind of thing was refined.
But this is indeed the case.
It's that weird elixir.
If you want the ointment to turn into a pill, you need to take out the last step and knead it into a pill.
But this is not easy at all. This ointment looks like a puddle of mud, but it feels like meat, but it is also soft, like water. It will deform at the slightest movement and is difficult to rub into a round shape.<
/p>
When I took it into my hand, I saw that the color and texture of the ointment were not quite right.
It is not the kind of black with many impurities stacked together, or with some colors of other medicinal materials, or black with green in it, or black with yellow in it, but it accommodates all colors, as if it combines everything.
Substances may be hard, soft, beautiful, ugly, or smelly...all the substances refined from the medicinal embryo, and even all imaginable things mixed together, are completely
Accommodate.
It contains everything that is very special in the end.
It’s hard to imagine how there could be such a complicated feeling, but it does feel that way.
You can find the color black even if you put it in 100 different black elixirs. It is difficult to describe the feeling in words, but as long as you have seen it, you will definitely be able to remember it.
It’s also the Taoists who make alchemy.
There is something wrong with each of the Taoists in the alchemy room. They all have a coldness about them and their faces are extremely pale. The older they are and the longer they work in the Taoist palace, the more serious the coldness and paleness become. At the same time, their bodies
The weaker you become.
There is no trace of a practicing person.
The alchemy room is so hot that it is almost like a stove. It is a stove in the first place. If you add this to the summer, it can really heat people to death.
But even now, the Taoists are still wrapped in black robes, tightly wrapped, and they are not sweating. They seem to be worried about being seen. Some people can even see traces of white powder on their bodies. Are you hiding something?
At the same time, everyone has a vague stench on their body, and the smell becomes more obvious.
It can be said that everything is abnormal.
The protagonist of the story, Zhang Daotong, and Zhang Wen, as a nearby villager, originally had an imagination about Tianbao Palace that corresponds to a series of related words such as immortals, magic, supernatural powers, young girl Su'e, Hongyi Yushang, etc. I have a lot of yearning and expectations, but after entering the Dao Palace, after experiencing such a thing, I saw that the things around me were far from what I expected, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was not right.
I can't help but be afraid.
Then in fear, he discovered that he was also becoming a member of this weird place. He was being assimilated into this weird environment, and his skin color began to turn pale. This person became a little bit disgusted with the sun, liked the dark, and even began to Occasionally, I can smell a vague stench on my body.
Gradually become harmonious with the surrounding environment.
He was desperate and struggled with all his strength...
The entire Taoist palace exists and thrives because of the longevity pill. The source of everything is the longevity pill, and the changes in the body should also originate from this.
He found that every time the elixir was refined, the colorful and dreamlike flow of water flowing out from the cracks in the top cover seemed to be a vision, and like cooking rice, as if it was carrying some kind of steam of doom.
The old people in the elixir room call it elixir energy, which is the aura that overflows when the elixir of longevity is achieved. It is the blessing that they can absorb and the reward for their hard work.
Every time the alchemy room is enveloped by the alchemy energy, the gloomy Taoists in the alchemy room change from their original indifference to greedy faces.
One by one, they swallowed in big mouthfuls, as if it was the supreme truth.
The older they are, the older they are, the paler their faces and the stronger the stench, the more greedy they are, and the more satisfied they are when swallowing. Every time they beat their chests, they make those people pale. His face became paler.
He remembered that when he was enveloped by this elixir energy for the first time, he felt an inexplicable fishy smell exploding in his mouth and nose with every breath he took.
My whole head suddenly became dizzy, and I felt unsteady in whatever I looked at all day long.
Then the second and third time I gradually adapted, and gradually began to become greedy.
So he began to use the excuse of being sick or going to the toilet every time to avoid the elixir energy.
These alone are not enough. To find out what this elixir of longevity is, the key to alchemy is the spiritual water. The key to the problem is the palace where the spiritual water is stored, which is the forbidden area of Tianbao Palace.
He is looking for opportunities.
That palace is too closed. Taoist Tianbao has the highest status in the entire palace and does not need to be explained to others, so it is difficult to determine his whereabouts
The only thing that is certain is that Taoist Tianbao will appear every time the Immortality Pill is practiced, but he must also appear at this time.
It would be great if I could use something or some method to determine whether there is someone there.
Then he discovered that there are often rats in Taoist palaces. There are rats everywhere, but it may be because the Taoist palace is richer than other places and has no worries about food, so there are more rats. There are more rats near the palace that is usually uninhabited.
Much.
The mice must have used it as their nest.
He dares to show up in broad daylight. As soon as people get close to him, he will run away without a trace. Otherwise, he will secretly look at you with his red eyes, making those who look at him feel numb.
It just so happened that he used this to test.
After a period of observation, one day he noticed a few rats wandering around inside and outside the palace as if no one was around.
