Chapter 48 Alchemy

In view of the fact that after the King of Qin ordered the recruitment of Sifang Masters and Onmyojis, a large number of people rushed to Xianyang, and it was difficult to distinguish the loyal and the traitor. Meng Yi, who had just been named Shangqing by the King of Qin, thought about it and decided to make a simple assessment Screen this group.

At the same time, the unkempt man on the base of the city wall was carefully nibbling on the bag of dog meat half a month ago, staring at the edict of King Qin on the wall in a daze.

After a while, he gritted his teeth, stuffed the last bite of dog meat into his mouth, wiped his greasy face and shook his hair, and walked towards Qin Palace without looking back.

What about Qin Wang Yingzheng?Whoever is cheating is not cheating!Maybe he cheated him into the position of Marquis, and cheated him into becoming a wealthy descendant, then Xu Fu would not live in vain!

Meng Yi's work is very well-regulated, and he can't find the slightest mistake. In front of him, it seems that things should be so orderly.Alchemy, seeking longevity, this kind of thing that sounds very unscrupulous, is also done in a decent manner in his hands.Yu Zishi took the time to take a look, and immediately felt that Meng Yi was really a talent.

All the onmyojis, alchemists, and alchemists stood in a courtyard, and in front of them were placed a alchemy tripod and various alchemy materials. Everyone was burning alchemy just like the modern culinary competition.Meng Yi walked among them and inspected, without any worry on his face, he was simply watching people making alchemy seriously, even when he watched the onmyoji in front of him mix sake and arsenic into the alchemy, he still didn't change his face.

Yu Zishi briefly glanced at the materials of these alchemists, ranging from arsenic and sulfur to charcoal and grass ash. Pre-Qin alchemy really deserves its reputation.Especially the most important blind pill, everyone has a big handful of fetishes in front of them, that is the famous cinnabar.

Cinnabar, also known as cinnabar, is mainly composed of mercury sulfide, mixed with a large amount of sulfur and asphaltene impurities. It is not very clear whether it can live longer, but eating dead people is definitely guaranteed.

Yu Zishi walked up to a Tsing Yi and wide-sleeved magician, stretched out his hand and twisted slightly in the pot of cinnabar in front of him, the red powder was a bit rough, and he could vaguely smell the choking sulfur smell.He raised his eyes to look at the alchemist, and asked, "Is it really possible to refine the elixir with this cinnabar?"

Seeing Yu Zishi's sincere inquiry, the alchemist replied gently: "The cinnabar is different from the grass and trees. It is not only burnt, but the longer it burns, the better it changes. After being smelted in the cauldron fire, the shape becomes round and easy to burn." Dispersed, it turns into cinnabar after accumulating and changing, and the wind blowing by the fire is still the same as before, and its vitality is far superior to that of ordinary vegetation, so it can make people live forever."

"Have you really refined the elixir?" Yu Zishi put the cinnabar back.

"It's a pity that I only know a little bit about plants, trees, gold and stones in the world, and I still haven't made the medicine of immortality." The middle-aged magician stretched out his hand to add a piece of firewood to the cauldron. He tried to reach for the plate on the table but couldn't reach it, so he handed the plate full of gray plant ashes to the magician.

"Thank you." The alchemist smiled at him, opened the furnace and added some ash into it.

Yu Zishi watched him staring intently at the flame, moved closer, and looked into the flame, "Is there anything special about this flame?"

"Of course there are. Big fire, high fire, dark fire, and low fire are all different." The alchemist pointed to the fire and said to Yu Zishi: "This is the high fire. If you control it well, you can make the alchemy inside the cauldron. The sulfur and gold stones in the fire naturally ignite to reduce some of the toxicity. The arsenic and cinnabar are strong, and the fire poison cannot be removed without this method."

After staring at the alchemy cauldron for a long time, Yu Zishi suddenly asked, "How long have you been refining the elixir?"

"I have learned alchemy since about three generations ago." The alchemist squinted his eyes and calculated, "I have practiced alchemy for more than 20 years. My family used to be from a family of Yin and Yang in Wei State," he seemed to pause for a while and glanced carefully. Yu Zishi, seeing that Yu Zishi didn't respond, he continued, "My family was originally from the Yin and Yang family of the Wei State, and it was not very popular. I learned divination from my father for two years. I really don't have a high talent, and I finally practiced alchemy."

Yu Zishi didn't ask any more questions. When he got up, he pushed the plate of cinnabar to a place that the alchemist could easily reach, then turned and left.

It is mellow and easy to disperse after bathing in fire, and it turns into cinnabar after accumulation. This is the nature of mercury.

If these people have experienced modern civilization, they may not be so-called alchemists, they will be extremely good chemists.

Yu Zishi walked around the alchemist twice more, and when he looked up, he found Meng Yi was looking at him, Yu Zishi indicated with his eyes that he was just walking around casually, and the latter nodded his head and looked away.Then Yu Zishi casually turned his head, his gaze suddenly froze.A young alchemist squatted in front of the Dan Ding at the farthest corner, with a solemn expression on his face.Yu Zishi recognized it right away, isn't that the magician identified by Fan Kui on the streets of Xianyang two days ago?

In fact, an hour ago, when Xu Fu walked into the courtyard, he was dumbfounded.

Xu Fu, who had just had a full meal, was completely dumbfounded by the large rows of half-person-high Dan Ding, all kinds of colorful unknown powders, and the posture of the surrounding people cooking and cooking.

Alchemy?What the hell?

He is the life teacher of the eighteenth generation of the Xu family. He counts princes and generals all over the world with one hand and two eyes. Alchemy is not his skill!Xu Fu, who was stupid on the spot, looked left and right, remembering the helplessness of living on the street, the humiliation of being chased and killed by the mob, he gritted his teeth for a long time, and gave it up!

Exhaling heavily, he stretched out his hand and picked up the white powder closest to him and smelled it, then turned his head and asked the alchemist beside him, "What is this?" He wanted to stick out his tongue to taste it.

The alchemist beside him who was seriously weighing the cinnabar did not raise his head, "Arsenic."

Xu Fu's half-stretched tongue froze, and when he loosened his fingers, the pot of arsenic splashed all over him. Then Xu Fu brushed his tongue back, and nodded as if nothing had happened.

This... This alchemy technique is quite poisonous.

Xu Fu, who had been stunned for a long time, did nothing but light a fire, finally picked up a plate of black powder from the plate in front of him under the sharp eyes of the patrolling palace guards.After sniffing it, he felt that the taste seemed to be okay, so he uncovered the cauldron and poured half of it into it.

Yu Zishi, who was watching Xu Fu from a distance, finally saw him move, and this serious look with brows did indeed look like a master.Yu Zishi crossed his arms and looked at him, his eyes flicked in deep thought.This man has been to Pei County and told the fortunes of the people there, others may want to laugh when they hear his words, but Yu Zishi is completely clear, what he said is not bad at all.

That remote and impoverished small village was indeed occupied by dragons and tigers, gathering princes and generals from all over the world.

The great hermit lived in the city, and Yu Zishi felt that the young magician in Tsing Yi might really be a hidden master.Think about Wei Chou, think about Lu Buwei, these people with inexhaustible talents probably behave more out of line, the crazier and more insane the more interesting.

Then Yu Zishi saw such a scene.

The hermit master in Tsing Yi stretched his neck to fill the cauldron enough, glanced at it and felt that adding one black powder might be too little, so he casually grabbed sulfur from the plate next to it and sprinkled it in.

Seems to be a little less?He withdrew his gaze, glanced at the pile of plates and jars, hey, this stone foam seems to be okay, throw some in it.

Then he looked at the half plate of black powder left in his hand, it was better not to waste it, he stretched out his hand and poured out the plate, and accidentally threw it in with the plate.The hidden master in Tsing Yi seemed dumbfounded for a moment, and hurriedly moved forward to take a look, thinking for a while that the plate probably really couldn't be taken out.

After thinking about it, he pretended nothing happened and put the lid on Dan Ding.

Fuck me!What is this idiot doing?Yu Zishi hurriedly recalled, did he just throw sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal?He also put the lid on?Fuck me!What is this idiot doing?

Yu Zishi hadn't figured it out yet, the next moment he had already rushed forward and grabbed the hidden master in Tsing Yi next to the cauldron, turned his head and shouted at everyone: "Get out of the way!" The hidden master who had to roll his eyes ran outside.

Meng Yi turned his head abruptly, and when he saw Yu Zishi's appearance, he immediately shouted at the alchemists and palace servants who were stunned in place: "Stay away!"

After Yu Zishi ran for a while, there was a loud noise behind him, the scorching air blasted away the lid of the Danding cauldron, and a huge flame rose instantly, Yu Zishi suddenly pushed the person in his hand to the ground, followed by a huge With a bang, the entire danding exploded into fragments, and countless screams and cries of pain were drowned in the sound of the explosion.

The fire spread across the entire courtyard, almost engulfing the wooden palace at a frightening speed.

Yu Zishi endured the scorching heat on his back, turned his head and looked at Meng Yi, the latter propped himself up on the ground, just happened to raise his eyes to look at him, he didn't seem to have suffered any injuries. "Quickly get out!" Yu Zishi yelled at him.

There is a lot of cinnabar in this yard. Once the high temperature makes mercury sulfide react, it will be countless mercury vapors!

What happened next was the most chaotic Qin palace Yu Zishi had ever seen. Palace people, alchemists, and the raging fire in the wooden palace, countless people screamed and poured out towards the door.Meng Yi's voice was drowned in the crackling fire, only a few faint syllables could be heard.

The billowing smoke rose, and the choking smell filled his chest. The door was completely blocked by the crowd. Yu Zishi glanced at the completely dumbfounded young man beside him, who met Yu Zishi's sharp gaze embarrassingly. , dare not say a word.

Yu Zishi got up, dragged the person up, turned his head and saw that the fire had already rushed to the beams of the house, and countless people fled outside.The door is blocked like this, no one can get out, Yu Zishi suddenly turned his head, looking at the palace wall about three meters high, there are several people who are digging out, Yu Zishi dragged the silly man to the spot The young man ran towards the palace wall.

The fire spread quickly, but fortunately the bluestone slabs on the ground did not catch fire, Yu Zishi looked up at the palace wall, and threw him against the wall, "Turn over!"

"No! It's too high!" The young man immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"Fuck!" He is still not good at martial arts!Yu Zishi took two steps back abruptly, after running two steps, he jumped onto the palace wall lightly, turned over lightly, and when he turned his head, the young man was looking at him stupidly, and then turned towards him roared.

"My lord! Help!"

The sharp high-pitched sound almost made Yu Zishi unsteady and fell back. He stretched out his hand suddenly, and stretched it out as much as possible, "Come up!"

The young man jumped up with a swipe, and hugged Yu Zishi's arm tightly with both hands. With a slap, his whole body weight was lifted up. Yu Zishi was almost dragged down by his sudden tug. Seeing the young man sliding down Yu Zishi grabbed him by the collar without saying a word, and regardless of the young man's face turning purple for a moment, he raised his hand and threw him out of the wall.

Then Yu Zishi raised his head, countless people were still blocking the crowded gate, the fire was getting closer and closer, the screams of the palace magicians trapped in the palace room almost drowned out the roar of the fire.Yu Zishi's eyes suddenly sank, the innermost people would never be able to get out after being blocked like this!

Suddenly, in the turbulent smoke, the corner of a person's clothes took off, and the airflow from the fire rolled up his hair, reflecting a vague black figure.

Meng Yi!

He slowly drew out the long sword, the whistling sword energy was like a dragon's chant, he raised his hand and shook the palace wall with a sword, the fire was raging, countless green tiles and carved beams were wiped out, the young Shangqing stood holding the sword, his clothes were bathed fire.

The palace walls fell apart, and countless people rushed out of the ruins.

Billowing smoke and dust, Meng Yi turned his head for the last time, just in time to see Yu Zishi who hadn't been turned out of the wall, and then they both turned back and left the yard together.

As soon as Yu Zishi landed on the ground, he dragged the young man who had just got up from the ground until he walked far away, and when there was no one there, he threw him against the wall, "Say, what's your name?" He ruthlessly Press hard on the young man's neck.

The latter couldn't even finish his sentence, and tremblingly said: "Xu...Xu Fu."

When Yu Zishi pressed his artery, it froze for a moment, it was really him!

His surname is Xu, and he is also an alchemist. He is indeed Xu Fu, a well-known liar in the history of the Qin Dynasty!The alchemist who traveled east to seek the elixir and never returned, the legendary ancestor of the Japanese!

Xu Fu looked at Yu Zishi's gloomy gaze for a moment, and thought of the mess he had made just now, his legs instantly went limp.A lesson can be learned from heaven and earth, he didn't do it on purpose!Doesn't that make him an assassin?The next moment Xu Fu collapsed on the ground, and hugged Yu Zishi's sleeves, "My lord, I was wronged!"

Yu Zishi was startled by him, then frowned and said, "What wronged you?"

"My lord, I am a good citizen! I am not an assassin! The fire just now was caused by evil spirits!"

Yu Zishi was silent for two seconds, and kicked the person away mercilessly.

Evil your uncle!Good man, your uncle!

When Yu Zishi dragged Xu Fu to find Meng Yi, the latter was squatting on the ground to give medicine to an old alchemist, everyone had already been settled, and Xia Wuyan led a large group of people to deal with everyone Wound.After Meng Yi bandaged the old man, he got up and saw Yu Zishi and Xu Fu hiding behind Yu Zishi.

Meng Yi looked at Yu Zishi and asked, "Are you all right?"

Yu Zishi shook his head and looked towards the yard, "When the fire is extinguished, find some sulfur powder and sprinkle it in." The mercury vapor in the yard is simply fatal.

Meng Yi didn't ask much, just nodded and said: "Okay."

Yu Zishi saw that Meng Yi was also in a state of distress, a large area of ​​his good black court clothes was burnt, and his face was covered with black ash.Without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and pulled out Xu Fu who shrank back and forth.

Meng Yi casually glanced at Xu Fu, and asked for a while, "Are you injured?"

Xu Fu looked at Shang Qing, who had a gentle face and even gentler voice, his uneasy heart suddenly warmed up, he quickly shook his head and said, "No."

"That's good." Meng Yi looked back at the standing guard, "Drag him down and put him in the dungeon."

Xu Fu's eyes widened suddenly, and the next moment he hugged Yu Zishi's arm, "Help, my lord!" He yelled hard at Yu Zishi's ear.

Yu Zishi hurriedly turned his head, his head was dizzy for a while, and he almost vomited.The guard grabbed Xu Fu's shoulder and dragged him back, Yu Zishi felt that Xu Fu's voice suddenly rose several degrees, before he could speak, Meng Yi directly hit the man's neck with a knife, knocking him unconscious.

Then Xu Fu was dragged away by the guards.

Yu Zishi glanced at Xu Fu whose face was buried on the ground and was dragged out by his legs, and the corner of his mouth twitched.After a long while, he turned his head and said to Meng Yi, "Thank you."

……

When Yu Zishi walked into the dungeon, Xu Fu, who had been imprisoned for three days and three nights, lay on the ground like a dehydrated radish. Yu Zishi signaled the jailer to open the door, and walked in unhurriedly.The jailer closed the door for him, and retreated silently.

"Dead?" He kicked Xu Fu lightly and asked with raised eyebrows.

Xu Fu, who had been starved for three days, sat up, his unkempt hair and face like a ghost with fangs, staring at Yu Zishi gloomily.

When a person is about to die, it is easier to go crazy.

Yu Zishi sat down in front of him, looking at his face covered with all kinds of dirt, he didn't react too much, he knew exactly what kind of despair Xu Fu had experienced in the past three days.The two looked at each other silently for a while, and Yu Zishi spoke first: "Do you know? You burned down a palace by yourself. I asked Yu Shicheng, and everyone thinks that you may be the secret agent of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms."

Xu Fu snorted coldly, "I, Xu Fu, am pure and innocent, and the empress can learn from it."

"If you really work carefully, it will be more troublesome, you know?" Yu Zishi frowned and looked at Xu Fu with great interest.

"You Qin courtiers are all lackeys of King Qin, actors of the emperor, a bunch of blind fools!"

Yu Zishi nodded, and said to Xu Fu for a long time: "Do you know how the people of Qin treat fine work?" Yu Zishi slowed down his voice and said leisurely: "First boil the flesh until half-cooked, and then use an iron comb to comb your flesh off little by little. , Combing to the bones, almost all tough assassins and spies are recruited, that's called a know-it-all talker."

Silence as death.

Yu Zishi suddenly said, "Do you think the Qin people are a little cruel?"

Xu Fu was startled by Yu Zishi's sudden voice, he swallowed for a while, his face turned pale, he looked at Yu Zishi, "Barbarian... barbarian."

Yu Zishi nodded, quite agreeing, "Since Qin Xiaogong came, the customs of the Qin State and the Hu Ren Rong people have been very similar, but they are really a bit barbaric." He looked at Xu Fu, suddenly smiled and said: "Why are you shaking? "

Xu Fu asked calmly, "Am I dead?"

Yu Zishi raised his eyebrows, and under Xu Fu's gaze, he nodded leisurely, "I'm just here to ask you for a statement, and then see what method of death is suitable for you."

Xu Fu looked at Yu Zishi for a long time, and suddenly he laughed, laughing loudly, laughing up to the sky, laughing very penetratingly, he smiled and said, "Slashing Dongfeng with a knife, killing people is not for me! Isn't it fate? I, Xu Fu, am here Literally never lost! Without me, Xu Fu, Qin Guoshao said he would hate for 20 years!"

Anyway, he was going to die, and he was ashamed of living for nothing for more than 20 years if he didn't go crazy before he died.

Yu Zishi looked at his appearance, and also smiled lightly. He suddenly asked softly, "Do you know who I am?"

Xu Fu sneered, shook his sleeves and stretched out his hand to pinch his fingers. The next moment his expression froze slightly, he looked up at Yu Zishi, pinched his fingers and recalculated. After a long time, he changed his hand, rolled up his sleeves and continued to pinch his fingers .

Yu Zishi looked at him with a half-smile, and he asked, "Shall I find you a gossip disk or something? A mage?"

Xu Fu's expression was ugly, he raised his eyes to look at Yu Zishi, his hands trembled slightly uncontrollably.This man has a strange fate.Ordinary people's fortune is like a tree, one only needs to touch a tiny leaf, follow the veins of the leaf to find the branch, then the trunk, and finally the root that is buried deep in the ground and no one can know it. He can see clearly the fate of his life.But the person in front of him is different, he has no branches, no buds, no roots, no leaves, he has nothing.

Yu Zishi looked at Xu Fu, smiled for a long time and said: "Your divination ability is very strong, like a person I knew before. But do you know what happened to him afterwards?" Facing Xu Fu's gaze, Yu Zishi said softly : "When he was in full bloom, his martial arts and eyes were deprived, and he was imprisoned in a dungeon for ten years. A generation of kendo masters were only a few days old, and he almost starved to death on the streets."

There was a strange look in Xu Fu's eyes, he stared at Yu Zishi without saying a word.

"He is stronger than you, and more arrogant than you. In the end, he couldn't even save the woman he likes, and watched her die in his arms." Yu Zishi smiled softly, "Look, Xu Fu, he has been vindictive all his life to this day." , but there is no one in the world who can face the sunset with him.”

"I'm not him." Xu Fu said calmly.

"Yes, of course you are not him." Yu Zishi slightly turned his eyes away, and a faded purple seemed to appear in front of his eyes again, the blind old man hugged his sword, his white hair was in a flower, and he was crazy.

Finally, Yu Zishi stood up slowly with a flick of his sleeves, and said lightly to Xu Fu, "Do you want to live?"

"Think." Xu Fu hardly hesitated. For a person like him, he himself felt quite a pity when he died.

"Don't tell someone else's fortune in this life, tell me."

After hesitating for a while, Xu Fu looked up at Yu Zishi, and asked after a while, "Will you give me the money?"

"Package and food."

"Okay." Xu Fu nodded without thinking, and added: "I want to eat meat every now and then."

"Yes." Yu Zishi finally smiled lightly.

"Be full."

"can."

After Yu Zishi finished speaking, he turned around and walked out. Xu Fu looked at Yu Zishi's back. The cell was dark, damp and cold, exuding a rotten smell. Xu Fu sat cross-legged, looking at the light blue color.Suddenly, at the moment when Yu Zishi walked out of the cell.A bright light suddenly appeared in his eyes, "Wait!"

Yu Zishi looked back at him, Xu Fu raised the corner of his mouth, and said word by word: "I figured it out."

"What?" Yu Zishi frowned.

Xu Fu raised his eyes to look at Yu Zishi, "I have figured out your fate." Under Yu Zishi's gaze, Xu Fu smiled arrogantly for a moment, "You will die."

Yu Zishi rolled his eyes at him neatly, "Everyone is going to die, what nonsense are you talking about, can you tell me how I died?" After saying this, he walked out of the cell without looking back.

Xu Fu behind him hurriedly shouted: "Hey! Aren't you going to let me out?"

"You play for a while, didn't you say that you told the fortunes of the jailers and had a good chat? You must cherish this rare friendship." Yu Zishi's voice became farther and farther away, until finally there was only a light and long coda.

Xu Fu was left in the cell, and for a long time he cursed suddenly, it's rare to fuck your mother!
