Back to the early Tang Dynasty to be a fairy

Chapter 132 Simple and rude alchemy, gold succeeds, mercury dies

In a thatched hut in Zhongnan Mountain, the lights were dim, the alchemist who was tied up with five flowers, the servants with daggers in their hands, the shadows with teeth and claws, and the faces of exasperation.

"Master Wang, I see that you don't cry when you see the coffin..."

Cheng Bi with a jujube-faced face looked at the alchemist in front of him with a calm face and wearing a Taoist robe, and suddenly became angry from embarrassment. He gritted his teeth, and raised his dagger towards the Taoist's arm and chopped it off.

"I have to give you some color today..."

Looking at the dagger that Cheng Bi chopped down, even this bound alchemist could not help but close his eyes reflexively.

At this moment, a white light suddenly shot in from the window, and circled around Cheng Bi's arm holding the dagger.In an instant, Cheng Bi felt a sharp pain in his arm.

"what……"

In the shrill cry, his arm holding the dagger fell off his body directly, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Cheng Bi's screams suddenly came from beside his ears, and the tightly bound Taoist priest couldn't help but opened his eyes with some doubts.

Then under the dim light of the hut, he was surprised to find an ancient tripod-shaped sword hanging in the air in front of him and Cheng Bi, the snow-white blade gleaming coldly under the light.

"Flying sword?"

The alchemist then looked down, and saw that Cheng Bi, who had been baring his teeth and claws just now, was already kneeling on the ground, with one hand tightly covering his arm, and there was a miserable howl from his mouth, and blood flowed from between his fingers. The water dripped down and landed on the floor of the hut.

There was also a bloody severed hand on the floor, holding a dagger in it.

The Taoist blinked, as if he hadn't reacted yet...

I was rescued by someone?

pat!

The door of the hut was pushed open, and a clear voice rang out in the room.

"Those who hurt people are always hurt. Since this Mr. Cheng Sanwa failed to rob and wanted to chop off other people's arms, then you shouldn't mind your own arm being chopped off."

The next moment, the Taoist priest who was tied to the ground saw a young Taoist priest wearing a white Taoist robe waving his whisk, walked in from the gate of the hut, smiled at the two of them, and shook his hand. A sheet of paper with portraits drawn on it.

"Do you think what Pindao said is right, Mr. Cheng Sanwa from Xiahegang Village, Zhongnan Mountain, Chang'an County."

"Demon... demon way..."

Cheng Bi, who was hugging his arm and trembling with pain, exclaimed suddenly when he saw the Taoist priest in white, and crawled towards the corner of the room as if seeing a ghost.moved sideways,
"How dare you say that the poor way is a demon way, Cheng Sanwa, you are not so brave..."

Kong Qing, a Taoist priest in white, shrugged his shoulders, pinched his sword formula, and a black stick flew out of his sleeve, hitting Cheng Sanwa's body amidst Cheng Sanwa's horrified cry.

crackle!

"Ah ah ah ah..."

When the black stick hit his body, Cheng Bi's screaming figure suddenly became up and down, very scary.

Kong Qing then tapped his hand, and the ancient bronze sword suspended in the air turned into a beam of sword light, lightly circled around the bound alchemist on the ground, and then flew back to the scabbard behind him.

"Brother Daoist, get up first!"

The alchemist moved his body, and sure enough, he found that the ropes that bound him had been broken every inch. He got up from the ground in some embarrassment, and saluted Kong Qing Jishou.

"Warlock Wang Chang, thank you brother Dao for your help."

"Poverty and humble, Chang'an Qingdu Guanzhangyuan...Mr. Cheng Sanwa, you are too noisy."

A look of disgust flashed across Kong Qing's face, he snapped his fingers, and a blue light flashed on the black stick on one side.

crackling...

A burst of electric sparks flashed, and Cheng Bi, who was screaming, rolled his eyes, fell to the ground, and passed out.

"It's much better now!"

Seeing Cheng Bi's miserable state, Wang Chang, the alchemist, showed a look of unbearable expression. He rummaged through the box to find an old dress, and squatted down to help Cheng Bi bandage the wound on his severed arm.

"Wang Daoyou, you really have a kind heart..."

Watching Wang Chang's actions, Kong Qing said something in a teasing tone. "Can you even forgive this kind of person who wanted to cut off your arm just now?"

"Although he did have evil intentions just now, but at least he has followed a certain family for more than ten years, so this is still a bit unbearable, and made Dao brother laugh..." Wang Chang helped Cheng Bi to bandage it, and got up to tidy up His Taoist robe replied very frankly.

"Besides, he can't be entirely blamed for his evil intentions. He has been poor since he was a child, so he shouldn't have given him so much gold to test him at that time..."

Saying that, Wang Chang shook his head again and sighed.

"Sigh... It's also a miscalculation of human nature. Alchemy is taboo after all. Maybe this is the doom of a certain person!"

"If this Cheng Bi is your doom, Brother Dao," Kong Qing saluted Wang Changji. "The poor Taoist congratulates you, Brother Dao, for escaping the calamity."

"probably!"

Wang Chang nodded approvingly. "By the way, Brother Dao, when you came in just now, you announced Cheng Bi's name in one mouthful. Did you know him long ago, Brother Dao?"

"Pindao doesn't know him, but he knows this..."

As he spoke, Kong Qing turned his wrist, revealing a piece of red gold.

"Some time ago, Pindao discovered this kind of gold after enlightenment, so he traced it, and finally found that the gold came from a man named Cheng Sanwa... Oh yes, he changed his name to Cheng Bi."

"That's right, this is the gold refined by someone."

Wang Chang casually glanced at the gold in Kong Qing's hand, and immediately nodded affirmatively.

"Because Cheng Bi's mother passed away some time ago, so someone gave him some gold to bury his mother, but I didn't expect him to be obsessed with money in the end... Sigh, it's also a blind eye..."

Kong Qing nodded casually, as if listening to Wang Chang's explanation.

But in fact, Kong Qing didn't need the other party's explanation at all, because he looked at the profiles of Wang Chang and Cheng Bi and figured out the cause of the matter before making a move.

Chatting with Wang Chang to waste time now, it's just that Kong Qing is curious about the alchemy technique of turning copper into gold, and wants to steal a master from Wang Chang by relying on the identification technique.

The so-called skills are not overwhelming, and if you have learned the touch of gold, you can turn around a little bit when you need money urgently in Qingdu Guan in the future.

Anyway, Wang Chang's life was saved by Kong Qing just now, learning his alchemy is considered a reward.

"This is not... this is not... this is not..."

Kong Qing pretended to be listening attentively, and while listening to Wang Chang's words, he quickly poked on the opponent's panel with his spiritual thoughts.

"Well, I found it... First, throw the scrap copper into the alchemy furnace for refining. Is it better to build a casserole here? The alchemy furnace is obvious... Then start stirring...continue stirring... just stir, it's that simple Is it... Next, take out the golden cinnabar and throw it into the copper water, wait, what is this golden cinnabar... Finally, continue to stir, and when the copper water cools down, it will turn into gold."

Looking at Wang Chang's simple and crude alchemy process on the panel, Kong Qing looked confused.

"Is the so-called turning copper into gold so simple? As long as there is golden cinnabar, it doesn't matter if you have a hand... It seems that the key is this golden cinnabar... I have to find out how this cinnabar is refined...Okay, I found it... …First put the mercury into the alchemy furnace…Stir…Continue to stir…Then put in the Pure Sun Stone, and then stir again…Dang dang dang, the golden cinnabar is refined.”

The corner of Kong Qing's mouth twitched silently.

Who can tell him what this Pure Yang Stone is?
"Forget it, it's meaningless to watch this guy's alchemy process... Just stir and stir again... Poor Dao should look for the formula of the golden cinnabar he got back then to determine what this pure sun stone is... Find the formula... ...there is no such keyword...by the way, the book of Taoism, it should be the book of Taoism...search for the book of Taoism...there is..."

After searching all the way, Kong Qing successfully found the scene of Wang Chang getting Taoism when he was young. The person who gave him the alchemy Taoism book was...an old man with a strange appearance.

"Hey, isn't this the Taibai God?"

Kong Qing clicked on the triangle in the center of the opponent's panel with his spiritual thoughts, and then the conversation between the young Wang Chang and Taibaishen came to his mind.

"Gold succeeds, mercury dies, is there really such a thing?"

"nature!"

Taibaishen's body twisted, his clothes and robe sleeves swayed in the wind, fluttering like a fairy, as if he would fly up in the next moment.

Kong Qing's mouth twitched.

Why does this pose look so familiar to him...

Then Kong Qing saw Taibaishen put on a pose, and then replied with a serious face.

"Husband gold is born in mountains and rocks. Its beginning is also the essence of mountains and rocks, and it has been mercury for thousands of years. Mercury is affected by the air of the sun, and it flows and does not condense. When it meets the air of pure yang, it turns into gold in a flash. If mercury wants to be turned into gold, it must be melted in the mountain, and it will not be melted if it is not in the mountain. But when it meets a stone of pure yin, it will be melted when the qi is combined. I have a book, so don’t doubt it!"

Kong Qing blinked silently.

Is Taibaishen bullying Wang Chang who doesn't understand chemistry?Mercury can turn into gold when it encounters pure Yang Qi, and it must be melted in Zhongnan Mountain, but not outside Zhongnan Mountain... Wait, isn't it the pure Yang Qi mentioned above?How did it turn into a stone of pure yin below, and what is the stone of pure yang?It's just such a mess, you don't have to doubt it...

Is the co-author Jin Jin raised by your family of Zhongnanshan Mountain God?

and many more!

Kong Qing touched his chin with his hand.

Maybe this gold really belonged to Taibai God's family, after all, Taibai God's body is a spirit monster in the form of the essence of Venus...

Then Wang Chang's alchemy process is so simple and crude, and it must be melted on the mountain, and it is understandable that it will not melt if it is not on the mountain.

Because the root of his alchemy is actually Taibai God who is the incarnation of the essence of Venus.

When Wang Chang was refining gold in Zhongnan Mountain, God Taibai would secretly help him, so he was able to practice it.As for other places, because there is no Taibai God, Wang often fails to refine gold cinnabar with mercury.

But the problem is that God Taibai spends so much effort just to help Wang Chang get some gold and make him feel like an alchemist?

What is he drawing?
Kong Qing scratched his head, feeling that something still didn't make sense.

He opened the profile of the other party again, and quickly rummaged through the future.

"This guy should have died today, but after he was taken over by Pindao, the future has changed. Let me see... what did this guy do after Cheng Bi's death? Go down the mountain to help Poor people, go back to Zhongnan Mountain to refine gold after spending all the money, and then continue to go down the mountain to help the poor...There is nothing strange about it, this guy is a good person in the traditional sense..."

Kong Qing raised his head again, looking at Wang Chang, who was fanning the fire and boiling water by the stove in the hut, and chattering about something.

Could it be that Taibai God really had a benevolent attack?

"Brother Dao..."

After the water boiled, Wang Chang poured Kong Qing a bowl of water and asked with concern.

"Why did you come to Zhongnan Mountain so late? Is there something wrong?"

"Pindao works in the Taishi Bureau. This time he came to Zhongnan Mountain to kill a spirit and rescue some women who were kidnapped by him." Kong Qing said casually. "When I came back, I lost my way because of the earthquake, and happened to pass by you, Brother Wang."

"Unexpectedly, there are spirit monsters abducting people here in Zhongnan Mountain. I didn't find out before..." Wang Chang did not doubt that he was there, and said casually while rummaging through boxes and cabinets beside him. "However, it's not far from Yigu Road. If you go out from a certain alchemy room and walk eastward, you will be there soon."

While Wang Chang was talking, Kong Qing looked through his profile again, but he still couldn't find the reason why God Taibai worked hard on him.

"Forget it, if you can't find it, don't look for it..."

Kong Qing shook his head, and turned off the opponent's panel helplessly.

"Maybe God Taibai really thought this guy was a good guy, so he helped him out."

　Mercury is an important raw material in alchemy. It is an important raw material for elixir in China. In foreign alchemy, mercury is called the three sacred elements of alchemy together with sulfur and salt.

　　Of course, because mercury can dissolve the relationship between gold, whether it is domestic or foreign alchemy, that is, the trick of turning metals such as iron into gold, almost all mercury exists.
