The world of Taoism

Chapter 171 Zhu Youshu (asking for a monthly ticket)

King Chunjiang denied the middle-aged man's idea.

"Mr. Gongshu, don't worry too much. I can still trust Mr. Zhou's character." King Chunjiang laughed.

Zhou Xuan rescued the most beloved daughter of King Chunjiang, who is the most honored guest of the palace.

Although it was only the first time they met, King Chunjiang still chose to trust Zhou Xuan.

King Chunjiang picked up the elixir. This elixir is very heavy. After all, it is made of lead and mercury. The density of lead and mercury is very high and the toxicity is very strong.

"Golden stone elixir?" King Chunjiang looked at the elixir in his hand with interest.

This elixir is said to be an elixir, but it is actually a small metal ball.

"What is the effect of this pill?" King Chunjiang looked at Zhou Xuan.

"Strengthen the body and nourish the body." Zhou Xuan slowly explained, "This elixir is extremely powerful, so it is recommended to take it several times."

The moment he finished talking about the effect of the elixir, the people around looked at the elixir with a little surprise.

The fragrance alone is so calming, the real medicinal power should be very strong.

Perhaps enough to rival hundreds of years of ginseng.

This golden stone elixir is really powerful!
"I don't know how many of this pill you can refine? I am willing to buy it at a high price." The white-haired old man stood up and said.

"Oh? Mr. Chen also likes this thing? Why don't you be alone?" King Chunjiang said with a smile.

Chen Lao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't dare to take away people's love, this little brother should have it, right?"

"It is indeed what I did." Zhou Xuan said, secretly surprised in his heart, he did not expect such a pill to be so popular.

In fact, what Zhou Xuan didn't know was that golden stone elixirs hadn't appeared for many years, and most of them were just ordinary golden sore medicines.

There are almost no pills for nourishing leanness and Qi.

People generally use medicinal materials, but there are many restrictions on the use of medicinal materials.

The efficacy of medicine is generally linked to the year of the medicinal material, and it does not have the ability to turn decay into magic like Jinshi elixir.

A hundred years ago, the emperor died suddenly because of taking elixir. At that time, hundreds of alchemists were buried with him, resulting in the loss of many elixir refining methods.

So a elixir is actually very rare.

"Then how much will it cost? I'm willing to pay a high price for it." Chen Lao said.

At his current age, his body is not as good as before, and his vitality is seriously depleted. He needs to use a lot of supplements to ensure his health.

Ginseng that is hundreds of years old is rare, but medicinal pills can be bought with money.

Zhou Xuan said that the failure rate and the ingredients of the elixir were several times higher.

"Probably that's it. What I got is also fragments. Only one or two of the [-] materials may be successful. It will take a lot of time, and I can't get ten of them a year." Zhou Xuan said.

"Okay, let's discuss it carefully next time." Mr. Chen looked rich and powerful.

In fact, Zhou Xuan let go of the practice, fifty or sixty pills a month is no problem, but he didn't want to say it too easily to avoid others' envy.

"It turns out that this elixir is so precious, Mr. Zhou's gift is too heavy."

King Chunjiang smiled, feeling very satisfied with this gift.

What do people worry about most in middle age?
It's nothing more than poor physical fitness and a decline in certain aspects of ability. Zhou Xuan's elixir just relieved King Chunjiang's troubles.

People have not arrived yet, people come one after another.

While courteous to the guests, King Chunjiang asked the maid to present melons and fruits to the guests, so as not to chill the atmosphere.

Zhou Xuan sat next to Mr. Chen.

After some exchanges, Zhou Xuan knew that Mr. Chen was actually the heir of the legendary Zhu Youshu.

Zhu Youshu is a school with a long history, and Xuanyuan Huangdi set up a special official position for him, which shows how high Zhu Youshu's status is.

The method of wishing you, that is, including Chinese herbal medicine, is a method of treating diseases with the help of spells and prohibition.

This is a method similar to that between witchcraft and medicine.

The Zhu Youshu inherited by Mr. Chen is this kind of witchcraft that cures diseases and saves lives.

"What is the difference between Zhu Youshu and ordinary medical skills?" Zhou Xuan became interested.

Ordinary medical treatment either uses herbal medicine, and people with superb medical skills may use some surgical operations.

This wishing technique may be a means of healing with magic.

"To put it bluntly, it is spells, using spells to cure diseases." Chen Lao said, "Spells can do things that ordinary people can't do."

"If the leg is swollen, there may be pus and blood inside. If the pus is removed by surgery, it may cause the invasion of external pathogens, which will become more serious and even life-threatening."

"And through the Zhuyu technique, this behavior is made a little bit safer."

"For example, I can associate your legs with the wall through related spells. Just take a knife and stroke the wall lightly, and pus will flow out of the wall. Your leg can take out the pus without an operation. This is the magic of Zhu Youshu."

Mr. Chen said inscrutablely.

"Amazing!" Zhou Xuan's eyes were wide open.

This kind of spell that replaces the knife is really powerful.

It is estimated that the operation will be cured on the spot, and there is no need to delay for too long.

"By analogy, this method can be used to treat brain diseases, internal organs diseases, etc. Of course, the difficulty will be higher."

Talking about his spells, Mr. Chen talked endlessly, without any intention of stopping.

During the period, he also talked with Zhou Xuan about his views on pills.

"Why can the golden stone elixir replace the poisonous thing with the great tonic? Do you know this?"

"I don't know." Zhou Xuan shook his head.

Old Chen showed an expression that I had known for a long time.

Zhou Xuan's expression didn't seem to be fake, and Mr. Chen knew that Zhou Xuan had indeed only obtained some fragments, not the true biography.

"Flame! It's flame!"

Old Chen said: "Lead and mercury are stubborn substances, and flames are needed to quantify their toxicity, to remove the chaff and save the chaff. Ordinary ordinary fire is not enough to refine the impurities."

"You need to use the fire of the gods to refine the impurities, because this kind of flame cultivation is extremely difficult, so it leads to failure, and the alchemy technique is lost because of this."

In fact, the loss of alchemy was not the fault of the emperor, after all, most of the buried ones were charlatans.

If it wasn't for the problem with the alchemy they refined, how could the emperor die because of it?
"So that's how it is. Flames are needed to refine elixir, no wonder my failure rate is so high."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "I don't know if Mr. Chen has any information about Huoyan. If there is, I am willing to provide ten pills for free as promised, and the fragments are fine."

Mr. Chen pondered for a while, brushed his white beard lightly, and said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to inquire, and I'll tell you if I have any news."

"Thank you, Old Chen!" Zhou Xuan suddenly realized.

The reason why Shensha Rhubarb Pill cannot be deduced is that there is indeed something missing, which is actually flames.

I am afraid that only by adding flames can the deduction go to the next step, and a more powerful medicine can be practiced.

Put this aside for now,
Zhou Xuan pointed to the middle-aged man just now, and asked, "Old Chen, who is that man?"

Old Chen took a closer look, and it turned out to be this white-faced, beardless middle-aged man, and said, "So it's Gongshuquan, he's from the Gongshu family."

"The ancestor of the public loser was first named Gongshu Ban, the ancestor of the carpenter and mason. The public loser is very strange. Every generation will suffer from widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness, and disability. It is best not to provoke such people. "

Gongshuban is a master carpenter. He knows that carpentry is a coolie industry. He has no power and no power.

Therefore, many secret techniques have been handed down for carpenters to use for self-defense.

Therefore, there is a saying among the people.

When building a house, don't offend the carpenters and masons, otherwise they may tamper with the house, leading to the ruin of the family and the separation of wives and children.

Members of the Gongshu family can use the house to make a person rich and powerful, and they can also tamper with the house to make the whole family suffer bad luck.

Gong Shuquan is such a person, widowed and disabled, he committed the crime of widowed and alone, without a wife, and alone.

Xuanli is actually Gong Shuquan's apprentice and godson.

"You offended him?" Old Chen thought about what happened just now, and suddenly understood.

Zhou Xuan talked about the reason of the matter.

"So that's how it is. Since I offended you, you can either reconcile or..."

Speaking of this, old Chen's eyes burst out with a murderous look, "Be the first to attack! If you are alone, you will die if you die. Is there anyone else who can't avenge a corpse?"

At this moment, Gongshu Quan seemed to sense something, and looked towards the two of them.

There was no murderous look in Gong Shuquan's eyes when Zhou Xuan met him, in stark contrast to Xuanli's resentful eyes behind him.

Seeing Zhou Xuan's gaze, Gong Shuquan cupped his hands, Zhou Xuan returned the salute, and the two looked amiable.

Hearing Old Chen's words, Zhou Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't dare, how dare I kill the people around the prince."

"Old Chen, you can't say this nonsense. How could I, a nobody, dare to provoke the famous Gongshu family."

"Hey, I'm just joking." Old Chen smiled.

The two drank happily, Zhou Xuan's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind.

At this time, people have gradually arrived, and the banquet is about to begin.

But what puzzled Zhou Xuan was that King Chunjiang clearly said it was a painting boat.

It should be on a ship, why is it here?
"My lord, where is the painting boat? Why can't I see it?" At this time, Old Chen said loudly.

"Don't worry, it's far away in the sky and close in front of you." King Chunjiang said drunkenly with hazy eyes.

Suddenly, King Chunjiang stood up, his body standing upright like a pine tree, giving people a majestic and evil feeling.

Then, under the surprised eyes of everyone, he slammed down the cup in his hand.

Bang!

The cup was torn apart, and the emerald green wine splashed out.

"not good!"

Zhou Xuan secretly said.It was thought that 500 knives and axes were about to burst out from behind the screen.

In the end nothing happened.

"Get up!" King Chunjiang spread his hands and held the sky high.

Thick mist rose all around, and the white mist filled the entire hall, making it difficult to see the surrounding situation clearly.

"Cover your nose! Close your eyes!" Mr. Chen reminded in a low voice, "It's not good to suck too much of this thing."

Hearing this, Zhou Xuan immediately held his breath, covered his nose, and closed his eyes.

This time I couldn't see the surrounding things at all, only heard a series of footsteps, and the sound similar to the rotation of the machine.

After a quarter of an hour, the mist gradually dispersed.

"Look, everyone!" Chunjiang Wang Qinglang's voice came.

　Thanks to the little dragon in the north, repenting and dreaming, brother Kevin, the big reward from the claws of the wolf
