Chapter 94 The Emperor Slurry?
At this time, Qi Xiang was surprised and her heart trembled wildly, and she was very excited and danced with her hands and feet.
If it were a few days ago, Qi Xiang would definitely not know the mystery of the few water droplets in this plate. However, after obtaining the inheritance of Shuiyue Sanren, his experience increased greatly and his knowledge improved by leaps and bounds.
After a little verification, he knew that the water droplets in the plate were very not simple, that was rootless water.
The so-called rootlessness refers to water without a source. Generally speaking, it refers to rainwater that has not fallen to the ground, or steam dew condensed by hot and cold temperature differences in the early morning.
In the eyes of ancient Chinese medicine scientists, such rootless water is a kind of medicine. In addition, in the eyes of cultivators, this rootless water is also a spiritual dew that nourishes the body and cleanses the impurities of the internal organs.
During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che made a fuss to seek immortality. He heard from the alchemist that using nectar from heaven mixed with jade crumbs to stop the yin energy from producing yang energy and immortality. So he ordered a tray of Chenglu copper immortal in Jianzhang Palace in Xi'an.
According to historical records, because the immortals like to live in a building, Emperor Wu built Tongtiantai, which was twenty feet high and used cypresses as the hall beam. The fragrance was ten miles away, so it was also called Bailiangtai.
In addition, in order to receive the rootless water, someone also built a copper pillar on the stage, which was thirty feet high, with an immortal on it holding a copper plate and a jade cup on it, to carry the nectar on the clouds, which is the so-called immortal inheriting dew plate.
So after seeing the dewdrops condensed from rootless water on the plate, Qi Xiang immediately thought of the Chenglu plate ordered by Emperor Wu of Han to build.
Of course, compared with the immortal Chenglu plate built by Emperor Wu of Han, this plate is undoubtedly very small, but from a functional analysis, there is no difference between the two.
In contrast, Qi Xiang felt that this plate seemed even more magical.
After all, although the immortal Chenglu Pan of Emperor Wu of Han was very tall, the dew it received should be in the shape of water. At present, the dew condensed on this plate looked like beads.
Looking at the few water beads in the plate, Qi Xiang also felt a little surprised and was a little unbelievable. What exactly is the reason that the dew in the plate turned into beads?
Qi Xiang couldn't figure it out, but couldn't help but reach out and pick up one of the clear water beads to look carefully. Unexpectedly, the water beads broke down as soon as they got started, turning into a ball of clear water.
There seems to be some residue in the cool water.
Qi Xiang was thinking, rubbed her fingers slightly for a moment, and felt that this residue seemed to be ice...
He looked closer to the plate and saw that there was indeed a small ball of clear water flowing inside the remaining few water droplets. In that case, it was like a layer of transparent ice film that wrapped the water in it, forming round water droplets.
However, the ice film on the surface of the water droplets was too thin. After he picked it up, the heat from his fingers immediately melted the ice film, which made the water droplets break and spill.
The question is, how does the ice film on the surface of the water droplets form?
Qi Xiang pondered and thought, suddenly reached out and touched the wall, and immediately felt a biting cold air. The crystal clear wall seemed to be covered with ice, which was very cold.
"What's going on?"
Qi Xiang was shocked, and was a little surprised at the formation of the water droplet ice film.
He moved the plate, and a few water droplets on the plate suddenly rolled around, and then it was like a snowball rolling, spinning lightly along the wall of the plate, and it couldn't stop for a long time.
Seeing this, Qi Xiang understood what the dripping water in Zhu Hongwu's mouth was like, and what was going on.
It turns out that the moon is gathering, and the water drips into beads. These two phenomena are true. However, the phenomenon of the moon is gathering, which happened in the first half of the night, while the water drips into beads is the situation in the second half of the night.
It is estimated that Zhu Hongwu only saw two scenes after drinking all night...
Qi Xiang was amazed. When he was studying the magical phenomenon of the plate, he noticed that as time went by, the temperature in the room became higher and higher, causing the water droplets in the plate to melt.
At around nine o'clock, the sun shone brightly, and the water droplets in the plate suddenly cracked silently and turned into pieces of water stains.
At this time, Qi Xiang touched the plate again and found that the temperature of the plate had returned to normal, completely gone from the coldness just now, and seemed very warm and delicate, just like mutton fat and beautiful jade.
"What a weird plate..."
Qi Xiang was intrigued and studied it for a morning, and after lunch, he immediately rested. After a night of sleep, he got up on time and then prepared to spend a night watching the process of forming water droplets on the plate.
On the dark night, the moon is bright and bright, like a night light hanging in the sky.
The clear plate seemed to be able to absorb the moonlight, gathering layers of veil-like moonlight, and finally shining in the air, turning into a hazy moon halo.
The silver-white moon halo gradually becomes clear and transparent, like the real moon, clear and flawless, cold and luxurious.
Seeing such an illusion again, even though he was mentally prepared, Qi Xiang couldn't help but lose his mind. It took a long time before he could barely stabilize his mind and concentrate on observing the plate itself.
Time passes slowly, bit by bit.
Qi Xiang had enough patience and watched the second hand move like a turtle's speed, and turned around again and again.
Before we knew it, it was early morning, two or three o'clock.
At this moment, the moon in the air has also become hazy again from clearness, and a layer of halo seems to be about to dissipate, with some twists and shaking unsteadily.
Seeing this change, Qi Xiang suddenly felt refreshed and held her breath and focused on watching. She saw the hazy moon halo slowly falling in the air and then landing on the plate.
At this moment, a cold breath was spinning on the plate, faintly filled with mist. When the mist dissipated, five or six crystal-clear ice beads, like pure crystal, appeared in front of him.
"Ah, this is..."
Qi Xiang was dumbfounded. He thought it was dewdrops, but he didn't expect it to be. But what surprised him even more was that this ice bead was very similar to a legendary thing.
"Di Liujiu?"
Qi Xiang was not calm, excited and confused: "Can it be Di Liujiu?"
In Taoist classics, a noun related to moonlight is often mentioned, that is, Emperor Liujiu.
Some Taoist priests felt that the essence of the moon was the Emperor's Liujiu. In their opinion, the night moon in Gengshen was filled with the Emperor's Liujiu, which was shaped like countless olives and thousands of golden threads, and they were hanged down to the world. When plants and trees were ingested by their essence, they could become monsters, and foxes and ghosts could show their magical powers.
In other words, things like grass and trees that do not have wisdom must be enlightened by the essence of the moon. The main reason is that plants and trees have nature but no life, and they have nature, which can replenish their lives; foxes and ghosts have their own life, so they have their own life, so they have great food and good benefits, which can increase their Taoism.
In short, Emperor Liujiu is a good thing. It not only has a great effect on the vegetation monsters, but also has a great attraction to human practitioners...
Qi Xiang tried hard to remain calm, carefully pinched an ice bead. After some time, he stuffed it into his mouth and bit it. Without any effort, the ice bead melted and turned into a cool ball of fluid.
Qi Xiang swallowed the body fluid and experienced it carefully for a moment. The surprise turned into disappointment: "No, it shouldn't be the Emperor's Liquid! Or, this is the weakened version of Emperor's Liquid, which has been diluted dozens of times, and the effect is no longer obvious..."
"Oh, I know, I'm not that lucky."
Qi Xiang shook her head. No matter how magical the beaded plate is, it still has certain limitations. It may be that during the firing process, the kiln workers accidentally added some special things and went through the kiln transformation, so that the plate has the effect of condensed moonlight.
The problem is that the number of special things is too small, which is not enough to completely degenerate and deteriorate the plate. In essence, the plate is a first-class treasure in the world, and is not a mysterious magic weapon in the world of cultivation.
"However, such a moon bead is not useless. With Yuehua and Xuncao, it seems that it can be used to refine beauty pills?" Qi Xiang was disappointed, and also thought of using waste to fully explore the value of the moon beads.
Xuncao, it is a very rare plant that is believed to beautify the color.
According to the records of the Mountains and Seas, there are grasses on the mountain that are green and good. The shape is like a cherry tree, but the square stem, yellow and red. The root is like a cherry tree, called Xuncao, and the color of a beauty in the clothes is.
It means that Xuncao has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin. If ordinary people eat this grass, they can keep their youthfulness and never get old.
Qi Xiang is very clear about how much the world can pay to maintain its youthful appearance. If you can find Xuncao, then use Yuezhu to extract beauty pills.
As long as people know the magical effect of beauty pills, Qi Xiang can also think of how crazy that scene was with her knees. I am afraid that at that time, a pill was sold for over 100 million yuan, and a large group of people rushed to buy it...
Qi Xiang longed for it, but slowly returned to reality, smiling bitterly.
Xuncao, that is the legendary treasure plant of fairy spirits. It may still survive in ancient times. But now the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is shattered, and the kind of thing that needs spiritual energy to be nurtured to grow may have become extinct.
Qi Xiang sighed and continued to think about the function of the moon beads. Unconsciously, the sky became brighter, the scorching sun was hanging high, and crystal ice beads were broken and melted again.
"I forgot again, this is still timely..."
Qi Xiang didn't waste it either. She picked up the plate and drank the clean water transformed from the moon beads. Apart from a cool breeze, there was no special feeling. But if she could drink it all year round, there would definitely be some changes.
"The face is not old, the body is as light as a swallow, without disaster or illness, it seems not difficult."
Thinking of this, Qi Xiang felt much more comfortable. The only thing that was unhappy was that this process required decades of uninterrupted persistence. For modern people who are impetuous and accustomed to quick success and instant benefits, this is unbearable...
Qi Xiang drank clean water, carefully wiped the plate, and then stored it in the box. As long as the plate does not come into contact with the moonlight, the moon beads will naturally not be condensed.
Or the people in the Dong family are like this. They feel that the water droplets condensed on the plate are of no use. They just treat it as a magical strange phenomenon and do not study it in depth. Then they put the plate on the shelf and hide it deep, and will not show it to others.
When needed, take it out and watch it and show it off...
