What is Sandan? Unlike lead and mercury, this is a path that is far from popular.
Chen Yu looked through the book and found that the cover was not old. He thought it was either a new work or had been copied.
Sure enough, I heard You Kewei say: "Hahaha, I thought the Taoist Master would be interested in this alchemy book."
Earlier, he got this from a semi-hidden Taoist temple south of Wuhu, and carved it on bamboo slips. Fortunately, the handwriting was clear. Although the owner of the Taoist temple there could not tell the origin and source, but after some research
After research, You Kewei deduced seven or seventy-eight, and copied and made rubbings of the entire alchemy book.
"Looking at the records in the book, it should have been created during the Yin and Shang Dynasties after the Dakang Dynasty. His name was Fengyunzi. What is recorded in this volume is the method of seeking Tao and refining alchemy."
Having said that, Chen Yu found that the elixirs above were very different. There was almost no mention of lead and mercury, but there were many pharmacological references. Although there may be some differences between the names in ancient times and today, the majority of them in the book were
It is not an exaggeration to say that he has a lot of knowledge about medicine and it is a medical book.
"Yin Shang?"
After hearing You Kewei's words, something related came to his mind.
This Yin Shang Dynasty is very different from the Yin Shang Dynasty in the previous life. In this land beneath our feet, there was a dynasty named Da Yin eight hundred years ago, and the founder of the country was the Shang family.
Together they are called the Shang Dynasty, or the Shang Yin Dynasty. It is not close or far away from today. At that time, Taoism had already arisen, and Taoism had to go forward hundreds of years. If you blindly follow the Taoist scriptures
It is said that there was an ancient theory of Taoism when the world first opened. Of course, that is completely unbelievable.
However, Da Yin was indeed an era when Taoism flourished.
"How did this bamboo slip survive eight hundred years ago? Is it really a miracle? An ancient scroll?"
"Originally, I was also surprised. With the texture of ordinary bamboo material, it is difficult to preserve it to this extent even if there are various methods."
You Kewei smiled and said that it turned out that the bamboo slips he got were excerpted and compiled by a Taoist sage.
Not even one person, for more than 800 years, the world's dynasties continued to change, and the Yin Dynasty, known as the prosperous age of Taoism, also fell apart.
"Perhaps someone else copied it, and it wandered around for decades. Finally, I found it in a corner of a Taoist temple."
Chen Yu nodded, thinking that this should be the case. Although ancient bamboo slips were often unearthed in the previous life, they were all damaged and incomplete. Even with the technical support that far exceeded the current ones, it would be very difficult to restore them.
And this bamboo slip is so well-preserved, I think it won't be too old.
Then, the two discussed "Fengpu Sandan" for a long time, each gaining something.
Chen Yu is far better than Wu Youyou in terms of pharmacology, but equally, in terms of Taoism, Chen Yu, a layman with only a little knowledge of it, is even worse than him, a dabbler.
After all, it is an alchemy book, and some Taoist phrases in it may sound remote and profound to others.
Chen Yu also struggled with reading, but it was much better than You Kewei.
"There are eleven kinds of elixirs recorded on it, but the types of five medicinal materials are unknown. It is unclear whether they have become extinct or were recorded incorrectly."
When he closed the book, he heard You Kewei sighing. The reason why he wanted to copy this elixir book in the first place was that the elixirs recorded did not contain poisonous lead and mercury, and secondly, there were many elixir prescriptions for treating diseases such as dysentery and red tongue.
Diseases, eye rot and other diseases, although they are given various Taoist terms, at the end of the day these are the diseases that have troubled many medical doctors.
Later, You Kewei tried to match a few pairs, and it was indeed effective. It even came in handy on one occasion.
Unfortunately, many of the above elixir prescriptions use too many Taoist theories, which are confusing and confusing, making researching them a headache.
However, the prescription is correct, at least part of it has been confirmed, but the rest is either incomplete or the ingredients of the medicine are not known and cannot be used.
"There are several medicinal materials that Pindao seems to have seen in Taoist scriptures. If I find them later, I can entrust a copy to the layman."
Chen Yu said, this is true. Books written by Taoist priests are sometimes like this. Even though the same thing has other meanings in Taoist circles, the name will change.
You Kewei thought the same thing. In fact, several prescriptions were restored with the help of Taoist friends.
There is more than one copy of the alchemy book. Giving it to Chen Yu is a good relationship.
"When the time comes, just take it to Huichun Hall in Huayin County."
You can leave a place for Xiaohehe to twist and stroke his long beard.
Chen Yu silently noted that it was still too early to send it to Huayin, so he had to find someone who could go to Huayin, or a caravan.
In fact, if we were in Da Zhao, we could directly ask the government inn to do this kind of thing, and at most we would have to pay for a meal and drinks.
Worry-free and convenient.
Afterwards, we talked about various sentiments between the North and the South, and other people's anecdotes.
"Father, just say goodbye."
After Chen Yu left the village, You Kewei had to observe him for a while to prevent Sister Liu's condition from relapse.
Although he uses force, he has a kind heart.
After a brief conversation, the two agreed on a date to see each other again.
"When I go to the Five Lakes, I must take the Taoist priest to Bailihua to see the endless sea of flowers."
"I'll write it down here first, so I can bother the layman later."
"Hahaha, that's how it should be!"
…
Qingtai Mountain, Yunhe Temple.
In the evening, Chen Yu slowly climbed up the stairs, dragging large and small bags.
Under the peach tree, a maroon deer lay half-lying on the ground, half of a pink flower petal hanging down from its mouth.
He was stunned for a moment, looked at the peach tree, looked left and right for a while, and then breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the ground again, it was clean, not as colorful as before.
Yo~
"Eat everything on the ground, you guy..."
It was a bit funny. Chen Yu rubbed the other person's forehead, went to another peach tree nearby, picked one and handed it to the deer's mouth. However, the other person sniffed it and turned away, ignoring it.
Shaking his head, he threw it into his mouth.
A little bitter, but nowhere near as bitter as the one next to the deer.
"The idea worked."
However, the deer still stayed under the tree stupidly, paying no attention to the other peach trees.
"That's fine." Chen Yu thinks this is a good thing. He can surround these peach trees with wooden fences in advance to avoid damage.
Still have to take care of it.
He thought that the peach blossoms in this world bloomed very late, and the peaches would also be a little later. It was estimated that they would not mature until August or September.
Avoiding the greedy deer that often came to eat and drink, Chen Yu picked up all kinds of goods purchased from the county town, opened the courtyard door and put them on the stone table.
"You, salt, soy sauce and vinegar..."
I bought some of these, which are not expensive except for the sauce and salt, and took them out to the kitchen.
He took out another bundle of oil paper with noodles wrapped in it.
It's not as dry as the one I saw in my previous life, it's a little moist and won't last long.
Then, there are some ginger cubes, a pot of fruit wine, and a pack of pickled plums with aged vinegar.
They are all used for seasoning, especially the vinegar plums, which were in season last year. Although there are already plums now, they are still very green and far inferior to the bag in my hand.
Chen Yu had already tasted one on the way. It was sour and sweet as honey, and had a rich fruity aroma. It was a great condiment.
