The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 42 Accepting an Immortal Weng as an Apprentice

Alchemy was still a very profound knowledge in the Three Kingdoms period. Although taking elixir has not been popularized on a large scale, Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi did not live long after taking elixir, but many people believe that elixir can live longer. , more importantly, as the enlightenment of primitive chemistry, alchemy has some phenomena of material changes, which ordinary people can't explain, so they think that alchemy has the power to transform all things, and there are many raw materials for burning alchemy. It is medicine, and it does have certain effects in treating diseases, so most people are still yearning for elixir.It's just that the raw materials for alchemy are hard to find, and the alchemy formula is a treasure that can't be passed on to the immortals, so alchemy has become extremely mysterious. Even those rich and powerful who paid a lot of money to invite the immortals to make alchemy can't get a glimpse of the secret.

To put it more bluntly, in the eyes of ordinary people, once you know the alchemy, you are basically a reserve god.

Although Sun Shao was a liberal arts student in his previous life, in the middle school chemistry class, the teacher usually mentioned alchemy when he told the history of chemistry in the first class. Sun Shao did some research on this, and later specialized in Taoism After reading some materials, I am no stranger to alchemy, so I have an impression of Ge Xuan, an old fairy.Although Ge Xuan has practiced alchemy for most of his life and has rich practical experience, when it comes to theory, he is really no match for Sun Shao. More importantly, Sun Shao can tell the truths that they have always regarded as secrets, and some of them are even Ge Xuan had never heard of it, so Ge ​​Xuan couldn't help but be overwhelmed with admiration.

The most hateful thing is that Sun Shao has bad intentions. He said half of many questions and left half, which made the old fairy Ge Xuan scratch his head and jump up and down, wishing to go forward and tear Sun Shao's head open to see what was going on inside. What treasures are hidden.

"Whether alchemy can make you immortal, let's not talk about it for the time being." The more anxious Ge Xuan was, the calmer Sun Shao was. He talked eloquently, as if he was talking about some of the most common truths: "As far as the alchemy mentioned by the current immortals is concerned, it is actually just one side of alchemy. We might as well call it Wai alchemy. Only Wai alchemy Inner alchemy is not enough, if you want to become an immortal, you must cooperate with inner alchemy, otherwise, hehe, it is difficult for you elixir to become an immortal, but it is very easy to die."

"Inner alchemy?" Ge Xuan's eyes almost popped out.

"You don't even know inner alchemy?" Sun Shao put on a look of surprise, then shook his head regretfully: "Then there is no need for us to communicate. The secret must not be leaked, so let's leave it alone." After finishing speaking, He got up to greet Dun Wu and Shuai Zeng and left.

Ge Xuan was in a hurry, and chased after him and tugged at Sun Shao's sleeve, with a flattering smile on his face, no one could believe that this old man was the famous Ge Xianweng. "Sun Jun stays, Sun Jun stays, please give me one or two more pointers."

"Isn't it enough for me to teach you?" Sun Shao couldn't help laughing: "What I said today should be more important than the Taoism you have learned in the past few decades?"

"That's it, that's it." Ge Xuan held on to Sun Shao's sleeve, and didn't care about his own hand grabbing the flesh and oil just now.Sun Shao frowned, and pushed Ge Xuan's hand away: "Xiangong, don't force others to make things difficult for you, okay? If you leak secrets to outsiders casually, I will be punished by God. I am the only son and I am not married yet. If I have a Three long and two short, the line of my late father will be broken."

He deliberately bit the word "outsider" very hard.

When Dun Wu and Shuai Zeng heard this, they came back to their senses, stepped forward and stopped Ge Xuan, jokingly, they managed to live a good life with Sun Shao for a few days, if Sun Shao died because of leaking the secret, how could they It's not miserable.No, this old man must be stopped, even if he is a fairy.

Seeing Sun Shao striding out the door, Ge Xuan was so anxious that tears came out. He wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Dun Wu and Shuai Zeng. In the end, he got anxious and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Sun Jun, I I worship you as my teacher, pass on my Taoism!"

Sun Shao stopped at the door, hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to look at the tearful Ge Xuan, thinking that the two distant uncles and nephews really looked alike, both a little crazy.He thought for a while, shook his head again, and smiled helplessly: "Xiang, don't shorten my life, how can I, a young man who has not performed the crown ceremony, be your master? You are not afraid to spread the word to others. joke?"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." As soon as Ge Xuan heard that Sun Shao's accent had loosened, he quickly pushed Dun Wu away, took a few steps on his knees, and hugged Sun Shao's leg, saying: "The master is a teacher. Although Sun Jun is young, he is a Taoist master." Smarter than me, I am willing to worship Sun Jun as my teacher, and ask Sun Jun to teach me Taoism."

Sun Shao still shook his head: "No, the way of immortality is far away, and you are already such an old age. I am afraid that after a lifetime of busy work, you will not be able to prove the way, become a member of the immortal class, and finally live a long life. Dust to dust, dust to dust, I can't help it either. In my opinion, forget it."

Ge Xuan didn't dare to let it go. With such a brilliant master, if he can't become a fairy, it can only be said that he has no talent, and he is useless in alchemy. Why not follow this master, at least he can live a long life, even if he can't live a long life, At least you can drink for free.

Ge Xuan made up his mind, and kowtowed repeatedly on the ground: "Master, please don't think my qualifications are poor, and accept me as a disciple no matter what."

Sun Shao looked at Ge Heng in embarrassment: "Sizhen, you should persuade your uncle, this... I really..."

Ge Heng was also in a dilemma. Originally, he and Sun Shao were peers. If Ge Xuan worshiped Sun Shao as his master, wouldn't he become Sun Shao's grandson?Could it be that when I see Sun Shao in the future, I want to call him Master?This is too... that.

"This... Sun Jun, my uncle is also eager to seek the way. If Sun Jun thinks that he still has a chance to create, you might as well accept him. As for... As for... Actually, I really want to ask Sun Jun for advice. of."

Sun Shao shook his head again and again: "Sizhen, you can't say that. Although I have some experience in alchemy, I am not proficient in your technique. It is barely enough to discuss with you. I can't tell you if I give you advice. We It’s better to meet with the same generation. It’s just..." He looked at Ge Xuan who had ruined his clothes, and smiled wryly.

Once he heard that he didn't want to follow Ge Xuan to call him master, Ge Heng finally let go of his heart, and he didn't care about that crazy uncle.He laughed quickly and said: "Since my uncle is sincere, Sun Jun can force him to give him some tips. I, a mortal, can't control the affairs of the immortal family."

Sun Shao pretended to hesitate for a moment, seeing that if he didn't agree, Ge Xuan would have to tear off his pants, so he had no choice but to agree.After Ge Xuan solemnly kowtowed a few times and paid homage to the teacher, Sun Shao showed a satisfied smile, Grandma's, becoming an immortal?Don't even think about becoming a fairy in this life, I put the hope of a big killer on you.
