The portrait in the Patriarch's Hall is on, and Mr. Chuanshi is coming to Wudang Mountain to read. Zhang Cuifeng wondered, had the secret really been leaked? No, I haven't told anyone about that matter, so how could it be leaked? Of course, Zhang Cuifeng cannot stop Mr. Chuanshi from reading.
Chuanshi wanted to go to the Patriarch's Hall to read, but he didn't ask so directly and went to the Book Pavilion instead. There are many books in the bookstore of Wudang Mountain, so many that there are countless stars in the sky. These books cover many categories, including humanities, history, alchemy, mathematics, and military strategy. Mr. Chuanshi walked around and felt that there were too many books to choose from, so he simply took a history of the development of Taoism and sat beside it to observe the crowd in the bookstore.
There were not many people in the bookstore. There were Wudang disciples, scholars who came to study, and some elderly people in their late teens. However, the only one who has caught the eye of Mr. Chuanshi is the old scholar. The old scholar's eyes were not dazzled, but short-sighted. When he read, he was very close to the book. When he saw the happiness on his happy face, he felt as if he had met the love of his life. When I read a sad part, I always burst into tears. I was afraid that if it fell on the book and hurt the ink mark, I would quickly change my head and the tears would fall to the ground.
"Hello, old gentleman!"
"Who are you?"
"I am not from Wudang. I pass by Wudang occasionally and have heard for a long time that Wudang Library is unparalleled in the world, so I came to take a look and read some books."
"oh."
¡°There are too many books here. I¡¯m a bit spoiled for choice. I don¡¯t know what to read?¡±
"Why bother reading if your heart is not in the book."
"This sentence exposed Mr. Chuanshi's old background. Mr. Chuanshi was not annoyed and said seriously: "Even if you are pretending, you still have to take a look."
"Then go and read that book, there are thirty-one chapters and two hundred and eighty-nine squares."
"Thank you, sir. May I ask your name?"
"I don't remember my own name. Everyone calls me an old scholar."
¡°Old sir, let¡¯s see you again.¡±
"goodbye!"
¡¡
Mr. Chuanshi came to No. 31, No. 289. There is a book here titled "History of Alchemy". This book made Mr. Chuanshi smile bitterly in his heart. The old scholar made him feel like he was meeting an expert. Now that he thinks about it, he might just be a bookworm. What is the difference between "History of Alchemy" and "History of the Development of Taoism"?
??Alchemy, to put it bluntly, is turning stone into gold, but gold is unique. It's not that it's impossible to turn other substances into gold, but the price it requires is more valuable than the gold itself. The representative figure of alchemy is Xu Daoren. Xu Daoren was a figure in the founding years of the Tang Dynasty. He was the reason why the Li family of the Tang Dynasty respected Taoism.
That year, Xu Daoren did not refine a certain substance into gold, but changed the nature of the weapon. The weapon changed from iron to steel. The hardness and sharpness of the weapon were greatly increased, which also increased the combat power of the Tang army. Got promoted.
It is said that in his later years, Taoist Xu once wrote an article. The main idea of ??the article was how he deceived everyone with his unfamiliar alchemy and made the world call him, a poor alchemist, the master who changed the world. This article was not handed down. The founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty saw this article after Xu Daoren's death and burned it. However, since then, alchemy has not been carried out in the Tang State, and the private use of alchemy to refine weapons has been prohibited.
Having seen the evolution of hundreds of years, alchemy has gradually become synonymous with alchemy. When people talk about alchemy, they think of the legendary elixir of immortality.
Without inheritance, people don¡¯t know what the relationship between weapon refining and immortality in alchemy is. Why did alchemy finally become synonymous with alchemy?
As the Tang Dynasty¡¯s national power gradually grew stronger, force began to be despised, and more and more literati took to the streets. The martial arts world was suppressed, and traditional martial arts could not stand alone against many, and gradually fell into disrepair. It wasn't until a hundred years ago that the Yiren Palace reappeared and the inner strength appeared in the martial arts in a qualitative way. The imperial court recognized the martial arts and allowed the martial arts to have a place in this society.
¡¡
With this knowledge, Mr. Chuanshi opened the history of alchemy.
On the first page, Mr. Chuanshi was surprised. This history of alchemy is completely different from the history of alchemy circulated in the public. It also does not record the famous alchemy history of the Tang Dynasty, Xu Daoren. This history of alchemy was recorded from the tribal era, and it contains the names of some revered ancient gods.
Even Mr. Chuanshi, who is very knowledgeable and rich, is very unfamiliar with these terms. Of course, he cannot delve into the people in these terms. This article mainly describes the time of the Great Flood, when people began to desire alchemy.
The floods are raging and the people are in dire straits.
In order to better control floods, a flood control man made his own alchemy according to ancient books.A ruler, his ruler can be long or short, the purpose is also for better work.
Alchemy was very popular in that era, and more and more people began to make magic weapons according to ancient books. Slowly, branches emerged. Some people were alchemists, and the other were people who used magic weapons.
In the earliest days, everyone used the materials they collected for alchemy, and used the magic weapons they trained by themselves. The alchemists were very clear about the functions and limits of the magic tools. Later, as the works of alchemists increased, exchanges began to occur, and finally magic weapons could even be purchased with money.
As the magic weapon spread to more people, people gradually forgot the original intention of using the magic weapon. They did not use the magic weapon in daily life like the water control people. They use magical weapons to strengthen themselves, and finally use the magical weapons in times of war.
The war with magical weapons changed an era. Powerful people saw the difference between themselves and ordinary people and became arrogant. Then they began to call themselves gods.
So, the gods began to occupy the fairy mountain cave and fight on their own. Like animals, they arm themselves with magic weapons to defend their territory.
This is the age of immortals. These immortals borrow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to strengthen their bodies and surpass their limits. Gradually, they ignored the role of the magic weapon. Cultivation and alchemy gradually separated, and cultivators relied on their own strength to plunder the achievements of alchemists. This behavior of digging trees and picking fruits made alchemists gradually fade from people's sight.
Even this history of alchemy does not record who the last alchemist was? There are fewer and fewer magic weapons. When the immortals realize that the magic weapons are starting to disappear, there are almost no real alchemists left. No one can refine powerful artifacts, and the magical artifacts that survived by chance gradually became top-notch existences in the era when magical artifacts disappeared.
¡¡
There was a gap in knowledge, and alchemy suffered a devastating blow. The gods disappeared, and alchemy no longer even had a name. Some people began to come out to re-defend the dignity of alchemy. But these people don't even understand the basics. At most, they can make mortal weapons stronger and harder.
Chuanshi put the book down, feeling sad in his heart. God is pitiful, pitiful on a powerful level. When he was sad, he suddenly thought of the purpose of the old scholar reading this book to him. Maybe alchemy could reappear in the world. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
