Chapter 425 My legs are numb, squat
Chenming is the master of Yangquan Temple. He has a deep understanding of Taoist scriptures and is highly respected by all fellow Taoists.
Three wisps of black beard, white face, and bright eyes.
"What a god!"
Lei Hong couldn't help but praise.
Bao Dong nodded, "But Master Chen Ming?"
Chenming nodded, "It's me."
Bao Dong reported outside the duty room, "Boy Wu Yang, Taoist Chen Ming is here."
"Please come in."
After rushing to the ground, Mingjing stood up.
Has this woman been a female crown for a long time, and she really thought she was a Taoist child?
When Chen Ming came in, Ming Jing bowed his head immediately, and then he realized that something was wrong. He was no longer a female crown, but an "eunuch". He turned his bow to bow halfway, "I met the Taoist priest."
Chenming just glanced at her and nodded slightly.
Do the Taoist priest really have no impression of me, Xiao Transparent, who was once acquainted with me?
Mingjing was a little depressed.
"But Wu Yang Bo?"
Chen Ming bowed his head and asked.
Jia Ping'an nodded, "What's the matter with Taoist Master?"
Chen Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a sharp look. He saluted again seriously. "A few days ago, a friend said that Wu Yang Bo taught the method of curing realgar and cinnabar. He even heard that Wu Yang Bo said that the alchemy is poisonous. Today I am here, so I would like to ask..."
The man moved his feet and walked closer. Jia Ping'an almost wanted to take a Huang Feihong position, and then he realized that this was the Baiqi. With his order, Chen Ming would be killed by a random knife in an instant.
Majesty must be maintained...
But Chenming seemed to be here to ruin the situation.
"Do you understand material changes?"
Chenming shook his head.
"Do you know that ore is toxic?"
Chenming shook his head.
Wushi Powder began to be popular since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and people still take it. I ate Wushi Powder every day, and then my whole body became hot and my skin was extremely sensitive. I wore old clothes with wide robe and big sleeves and spread everywhere... Note here: The old clothes must not be washed, preferably with mud and dirt, so that they will not rub sensitive skin.
Should I save this person?
Jia Ping'an was a little hesitant, but when he saw the admiration in Mingjing's eyes, he felt that it would be better to stretch out his hand.
"Water boils when it reaches a certain level, and steel liquefies when it reaches a certain level. Many wild vegetables are toxic to eat raw, but blanching them in boiling water is non-toxic... Do you know why?"
Chenming looked cold at the beginning, but gradually changed color.
yes!
Why does the water boil?
Why does steel liquefy?
Some wild vegetables are poisonous and will get caught if you eat too much. But you can eat them after blanching them. Everyone knows these things, but who knows the truth?
Chen Ming swept away his previous coldness and bowed, "There are all Taoist brothers in Yangquan Temple who are defying this, and I also ask Uncle Wu Yang to go and solve our doubts."
This is a challenge!
What's up to me?
Jia Ping'an turned his face cold, picked up the message and started reading it.
Chen Ming's face turned pale and he smiled and said, "Does Wu Yang Bo not dare?"
Jia Ping'an raised his eyes, "I give the order, and you will die in an instant without a place to bury you. What do you say to me to dare? Who are you? Is that worthy?"
He didn't like this kind of aggressive general. If the other party was not a Taoist, he would have been able to win Chenming long ago.
Chenming then remembered that this commander of the hundred cavalry, and his attitude was a little over.
He bowed, "I beg Uncle Wu Yang to go."
"No time." Jia Ping'an took a deep breath, feeling that it was time to see his long legs.
Mingjing felt a little embarrassed when she saw Chen Ming being defeated, but she was not easy to persuade him, so she winked at Cheng Da.
Go and persuade me quickly!
Cheng Da was confused: Why?
It's nothing to do with me!
Mingjing's eyes gradually became cold and harsh: I won't persuade you... I will go back and put on small shoes for you!
Cheng Da: Can I just pass away?
Cheng Da smiled and said, "Bo Wu Yang, Taoist Master is also quite famous in Chang'an. This matter is probably a misunderstanding. Taoist sect is compassionate. If Wu Yang Bo can have a good relationship with the Taoist Masters, I think... it is also a good story."
At present, the Tang Dynasty is dominated by Buddhism and Taoism... To be honest, although the old Li family claims to be a descendant of Lao Tzu, they do not support Taoism much. But at least they still want their face. These Taoists lived in Chang'an quite freely and had many friends with the powerful.
In this way, the Taoists are also a force. If they can get along well, it will be of great benefit to Jia Ping'an.
Jia Ping'an looked up at him, cold.
Do I want my face? If I don’t bow my head, I won’t go.
Ming Jing bowed, "Wu Yangbo's mind is broad."
Jia Ping'an glanced at her Taiping and thought to himself that he was at least wider than yours.
Chen Ming bowed, "I'm wrong."
Jia Ping'an got up, Ming Jing came over to support him, "Wu Yang Bo is slower."
I'm not old yet? Why did this person just come to please me?
Mingjing whispered, "That's the senior I admire. Give me a face and it's easy to talk about everything when I look back."
This woman is really able to bend and stretch!
Jia Ping'an knew that he would not do something that the emperor did not like in the future, so it became more and more urgent to build a one-man show for hundreds of qi. Cheng Da was a fence-bearer, and as long as Jia Ping'an did not fall, he would not dare to stab him.
The only thing that can be considered is Princess Mingjing, Taiping.
It would be nice to make her owe a favor.
Jia Ping'an snorted coldly, "For you, that's all."
Does Jia Ping'an actually value me so much?
Mingjing couldn't help but feel uneasy, and then she felt disdainful again.
Do I care about what he values?
But why am I a little excited?
That's not excitement, it's just...I'm in a good mood!
When we arrived at Yangquan Temple, more than ten Taoists sat in the hall and were debating.
Jia Ping'an had a headache when he listened to those terms, but Mingjing was excited.
Does this woman still like to practice Taoism? She would like to practice both with me.
As soon as the three of them entered, the Taoists stood up to greet them.
"Is this Wu Yang Bo?" A Taoist sneered: "I heard what changes you said, this is the Great Dao. There are thousands of elixirs, the temperature changes slightly, the order and number of materials are placed, and the elixirs produced are different. This is the Great Dao!"
Isn't this a chemical experiment?
Various substances are thrown into the stove and calcined, fused, and see what changes can occur between these substances... Who dares to eat them in the end?
Anyway, Jia Ping'an didn't dare.
"Does Wu Yang Bo know the alchemy?"
Jia Ping'an shook his head, and the Taoist laughed, "He Yi is invited like this? Let's continue to argue."
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Mingjing looked at Jia Ping'an and felt a little sad for him.
I used him to achieve the goal of meeting these senior experts, but I could only sit back and see him make a fool of myself. Am I wrong?
Mingjing felt a little despicable.
Jia Ping'an waited for them to laugh enough before asking lightly, "Cinnabar is poisonous and can kill people, right?"
The Taoist was stunned. An older Taoist stood up, and the wrinkles on his face moved, "I am the ultimate truth, I have met Wu Yang Bo."
Some people refuted, "Where is the poison of cinnabar? It's nonsense!"
Shengyi shouted, "Stop your mouth!"
The Taoist was stunned, "Brother Dao..."
Shengyi stared at Jia Ping'an, "You said Chensha is poisonous, when will it be poisonous?"
Chensha is cinnabar. Because Chenzhou used to produce the most, it is also called Chensha.
This Taoist is a bit interesting, Jia Ping'an said: "It is poisonous when calcined."
"Yes!" said the Taoist who was refuting again: "Where does the poison come from?"
"Get out!" Shengyi was furious, and the Taoist quickly sat down.
"I heard that some people said that chensha and realgar were poisonous, so I came to see who it was. At first, I saw Wu Yang Bo being young and couldn't help but look down on him. But when I heard Wu Yang Bo say that calcination was poisonous, I deeply agreed."
Everyone was shocked, and Chen Ming asked, "Why did Brother Dao say this?"
Shengyi sighed: "This is the benefit of living a long life. Over the long years, I watched those Taoists go from teenagers to middle-aged people, from being curious at first to later burning the pills himself... Someone added cinnabar to calcinate them, and often burned them. After a few years, this person became crazy. This matter is not only the same."
Everyone was shocked.
Chen Ming said in surprise: "Is this actually the case?"
Shengyi nodded and looked at Jia Ping'an with deep meaning, "Dare you ask Wu Yang Bo, why do you know about this?"
yes!
The ultimate truth is to live long and be good at observing. Only then did I discover my fellow corporations who were poisoned by calcined cinnabar, but why could Jia Ping'an be so young?
Mingjing also felt something was wrong.
I really don’t want to give you a lecture, but if I don’t explain it clearly, the woman Mingjing will not owe anyone favors.
Forget it!
Jia Ping'an said: "Cinnabar was first used as a pigment. When those ancestors engraved letters, in order to make the marks eye-catching, they applied the marks on them, and then there were red characters. Later, the cinnabar dyed the color of clothes, and some people even used cinnabar to draw..."
When there is no pen and ink, oracle bone inscriptions are engraved on objects such as tortoise shells, and the marks are easily ignored and difficult to distinguish. They are dyed with cinnabar, so those oracle bone inscriptions turn red and are clearly visible at a glance.
Shengyi nodded frequently and looked at him with praise, feeling that Jia Ping'an was indeed knowledgeable.
I just love Baidu!
Jia Ping'an continued: "Cinnabar warding off evil spirits and can even be used as a medicinal material to cure diseases. So someone added cinnabar to the calcinnabar to calcinate, but he didn't know... The higher the temperature, the mercury in the cinnabar will be decomposed. Mercury is a poison. The man sat by the calcinnabar and was poisoned by mercury every day. He was crazy at first, but he couldn't escape death."
Everyone burst out, and some people scolded, "I'm just talking nonsense, so why are you not stupid?"
"Because cinnabar is mercury sulfide, you will not get acutely poisoned. If you cannot digest it, it will be pulled out after eating it. Do you try calcining it frequently?"
Mercury sulfide is calcined and mercury dioxide can be parsed out at more than 300 degrees. If you squat and breathe hard, try it and take it.
“Mercury sulfide?”
The ultimate question asked, "What is this?"
"In Xinxue, cinnabar is mercury sulfide, and it is also a compound." Jia Ping'an gave Xinxue a small advertisement and felt that he was really smart. "Everyone, if you take cinnabar in treatment, the amount is not hindered. But be careful not to calcinate. Even if you want to calcinate, don't stand by the side and stay away."
"This is nonsense..."
Do you say nonsense?
Jia Ping'an looked at the Taoist with a bad look.
"shut up!"
Shengyi still could only stop talking, and then said excitedly: "There were more than one person who burned cinnabar at the beginning, but the few people guarding the alchemy furnace were crazy, but the people outside were fine. I said how could this happen? After hearing Wu Yang Bo's words today, I realized that it was because the calcined mercury was sucked in..."
This man is indeed smart and experienced.
Jia Ping'an nodded slightly, "As I said before, many things look harmless on weekdays, but after other treatments, they will become poison. For example, if you boil something poisonous, the person standing next to you may be poisoned."
Is it simple to say that?
Those Taoists were confused.
This is because it feels that cinnabar is poisonous and is too desperate.
Shengyi felt that this was an opportunity, "When we know this, we can play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses when calcining the elixir..."
There was a look of excitement in Shengyi's eyes, "In the future, we can throw more things into the alchemy furnace, and we may really be able to calcinate the immortal pill."
It is impossible to calcinate some strange chemicals, such as glass, and various compounds.
Jia Ping'an felt that the alchemy of this era was actually closer to chemistry. Later, alchemists appeared in the West. Both sides had ambitions and calcined all kinds of strange things together.
But why the ending is different?
Because the starting point of the alchemists in China is immortality and refining immortal pills, if you say that this compound is interesting and has any effect, it is blasphemy!
What we refine is loneliness, what we refine is long-lasting vision. Things in the world have nothing to do with us.
So everything he refined was thrown aside or ate it into his stomach, and the alchemy masters were focused on immortality.
The starting point is wrong, and the obsession with the way of immortality has led to the fact that China's alchemy has been on the spot and has not advanced to chemistry.
Everyone was excited.
"I have many ideas. If I can test them one by one, I can really burn the elixir."
"I tested it once last time and burned the alchemy room."
Who are these people...
Mingjing looked at Jia Ping'an and found that this man was leisurely looking at the decoration of the lobby.
"Stop it!"
Shengyi shouted loudly and bowed, "I heard that what kind of water is used to wash it... I would like to ask Wu Yang Bo for advice."
Will they wash everything again and then calcinate it in the future?
Thinking of that kind of scene, Jia Ping'an's spine became cold, "Many things will change once they encounter heat, and even release toxicity. Some things will reduce toxicity once they are heated. For example, aconitum must be boiled for a long time, otherwise it will be toxic, so..."
This water flying method seems to be made by Sun Simiao and the great master Sun?
Has he made it out now?
You don’t have to worry about making it out, that’s what heroes see.
Jia Ping An said with peace of mind: "Put the cinnabar into water and grind it. The finest ones will be suspended in water. Pour the suspension into the container to settle. Pour the clean water later and replace it with clean water... The original cinnabar coarse grains have all settled down. Add water and grind it again. Repeat these again and again, and finally dry the water, and you will get the washed extremely fine cinnabar powder."
Shengyi said happily: "Yes, not only isn't hot, but it's also very fine. Thank you for your advice!"
He bowed his head solemnly.
Jia Ping'an turned sideways and said that he did not dare to accept the courtesy.
Mingjing felt that she was redundant, so she left the lobby.
She turned around and looked at Jia Ping'an, and saw him talking to Shengyi with a smile, with a calm attitude.
"Jia has a lot of business, so she will stay soon."
Jia Ping'an bowed and said goodbye.
"Wu Yang Bo is full of talent, why doesn't hesitate to sit with us?"
"This... Jia is full of mundane affairs and has no choice but to do anything."
As soon as you open your mouth, you will be a girl, a man of your heart, and a man of your yang. I don’t understand! You will reveal your feelings when you open your mouth.
Jia Ping'an smiled and said, "I'll come again next time Jia."
I will definitely not come next time!
Mingjing stood there with some concealment, Jia Ping'an frowned, "Why don't you leave?"
Mingjing glanced at Shengyi.
This woman had admired Chen Ming before, so why did she change her idol in a blink of an eye?
Sure enough, women are fickle!
Ming Jing bowed, "I met Taoist priest before, but I didn't dare to speak out at that time, today..."
She was a little nervous, but in order to achieve her goal, she still said what she thought, "Can the Taoist priest give me words? If there is no more or more, just two words. If not, forget it."
Not only is it fickle, but it also has a weak position!
Jia Ping'an felt that this woman was not qualified to be a fan.
Shengyi glanced at her, and there was a lot of harmony in her cold eyes, "What words do you want?"
Mingjing's heart suddenly jumped around.
The ultimate righteousness is quite prestigious and highly respected in the Taoist sect. Any Taoist sect is honored to have his words. After getting his words, they will be scribble and hung.
But not everyone can find the ultimate meaning and seek the word "Subordinate". The master of the Taoist temple where Mingjing was in the past took her to the party. Xiao Transparent Mingjing was very curious and watched a group of Taoists talking around the ultimate meaning, and the master of the temple also came over to seek the word "Subordinate", but he got two words.
vulgar!
The host came back in shame and lamented that the ultimate truth was indeed a real person and refused to give him even words.
It is difficult for her little transparent person to speak. She thought she would probably be rejected, but she didn't expect that Sutra was asking what words to ask for.
Tao can be told, it is extraordinary. Name can be named, it is extraordinary... Can a Tao Te Ching work be done?
Mingjing felt that she would be beaten to death by these seniors, so she whispered: "The word Mingjing."
Jia Ping'an turned around, his body trembling constantly.
This woman asked for her name, so why didn't she add a few words?
"Take the pen and ink."
The calligraphy of the ultimate righteous is very powerful. The word "Mingjing" is written on the hanging wrist, and there are cheers on the side.
Mingjing's face turned red and she took the paper happily. When she was about to bow her head, she quickly changed it. She was preparing for a blessing...
A Taoist smiled and said, "Is this a blessing?"
I'm going to die... Mingjing smiled and said, "My legs are numb, squat."
She carefully held the paper and blew the handwriting all the way.
After leaving the Taoist temple, Jia Ping'an asked curiously: "Why didn't you ask the Taoist priest to write a few more words? For example, Zhu Mingjing is as beautiful as a flower and is free and easy every day."
"yes!"
Mingjing really regretted it, "Anyway, it's your face and favor, I should ask for a few more words."
shameless!
Jia Ping'an got on Abao and "leave."
"Hey! Wait for me!"
Mingjing got on his horse and chased him all the way.
...
"Recently those people are making trouble in the morning and attacking you, auxiliary machine. This matter should be taught a lesson."
Chu Suiliang was a little dissatisfied.
"What are you panic?" Changsun Wuji took a teacup and took a sip. "Those people are unwilling to be the leader, and they are even more unwilling to be the ones who suppressed their ambitions, so they are particularly dissatisfied. But what if they are dissatisfied? I can suppress them for a moment, and I can suppress them for a lifetime."
Chu Suiliang sighed and stood up and said, "Anyway, you have a plan, I will follow you."
Changsun Wuji nodded, maintained his original intention for this most determined comrade-in-arms, and smiled and said, "Come to the yamen and drink at home?"
"Okay, but you have to bring out the wine for the auxiliary machine."
Changsun Wuji put the teacup on the table, "It's easy to say. Far East, go and see Dengshan."
Zheng Yuandong smiled and stood up, "Captain Chu, please."
The two went out one after another, Chu Suiliang muttered: "Why did you forget to tell Zhang Saizhi about it... whether you were exiled or demoted..."
Zheng Yuandong was still smiling, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
That Zhang Sai is someone his Majesty values. It is reported that he is preparing to enter the Ministry of War. If he is exiled, his Majesty will be wiped out...
The key is that the Ministry of War is very important. If they win Zhang Sai, they will inevitably get people in trouble. At that time, not only Li Ji will have trouble, but His Majesty will also lose control of the Ministry of War.
What should I do now?
Chapter completed!
