The prince's head was wrapped with a cloth, his left eye was big and his right eye was small, and his face was still bruised.
Below, Chang Sun Chong, Fang Yiai, and Gao Jingxing were not in any better condition. They were all in a miserable state with bruises on their noses and swollen faces.
When Du He's name was mentioned, several people gritted their teeth with hatred.
Changsun Chong: "When I recover from my injuries, I will fight to the death with Du He!"
Fang Yiai: "Du He is so hateful. It's a pity that we still regarded him as a brother before!"
Gao Xingcheng: "Your Highness, we must not let Du He go!"
Li Chengqian stood up and said angrily: "Why don't I want to punish him severely? It's just that he has been banned from Laiguo Duke's Mansion by his father's order. We can't go to Laiguo Duke's Mansion to arrest him!"
Chang Sun Chong's eyes suddenly lit up: "Your Highness, I have a way to ensure that Du He's reputation will be ruined! Moreover, he will not be able to become the consort!"
Changsun Chong came to Li Chengqian's side and whispered.
After hearing this, Li Chengqian said excitedly: "Okay, okay, I'll leave this matter to you!"
"Okay, this time, Du He is dead!" Changsun Chong said confidently.
…
The carriage left the west gate of Chang'an City, drove forward for a moment, and then stopped.
Du He opened the curtain and saw a small but very luxurious Taoist temple next to him: Qingfeng Temple.
Du He got off the carriage, went up the steps, knocked on the door, and a little Taoist priest aged seventy or eight came out and opened the door.
"Guests, are you okay? Our Qingfeng Temple does not accept donations, and we cannot offer incense!" the little Taoist priest said politely.
Du He shook his head: "We don't donate money or offer incense. Let me ask you, Master Yuan Tiangang, does he live here?"
The little Taoist priest nodded.
Du He was about to go inside, but was stopped by the little Taoist priest.
"If you want to see my master, you must wait for my notification before you can go in."
Du He saw that it was almost dusk and there was no time to waste, so he waved his hand gently.
Lu Bu stepped forward in two steps and carried the little Taoist priest on his shoulders.
The master and servant entered Qingfeng Temple in a swaggering manner.
Inside is a small courtyard, a main hall, and several rooms.
In this huge Taoist temple, only Yuan Tiangang and the young Taoist priest lived.
As soon as Du He walked into the courtyard, he saw smoke coming out of the window of a room on the left, and a violent coughing sound came from inside.
Du He hurriedly walked over and opened the door.
In the room, there was a thin middle-aged man wearing a gray monk's robe. There was a stove in front of him, with a hemispherical casserole on it, and he was stirring something. A rich and pungent smell came to his face.
Needless to say, this person is none other than Yuan Tiangang.
Yuan Tiangang was also an official in the court in his early years, and even held an official position in the Sui Dynasty. Later, he suddenly became a Taoist priest, but he still had some abilities. He was highly appreciated by Li Er and was named a national preceptor. What kind of sacrifices does the royal family have?
For activities like this, he needs to be invited to take part.
Hearing the movement behind him, Yuan Tiangang turned around and became furious.
"What kind of thief dares to act wild in our Qingfeng Temple? Put down my disciple immediately!" Yuan Tiangang reprimanded loudly.
Du He waved his hands behind him.
Lu Bu hurriedly put the little Taoist down.
Du He stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Yuan, please introduce yourself. I am Du He. I am here today specifically to discuss buying a house with you!"
"Go away, I don't want to talk to you...don't delay me from doing my business!"
Yuan Tiangang left no room for negotiation and pushed Du He out.
Du He glanced back and asked hurriedly: "Master Yuan, is there something wrong with your alchemy?"
Yuan Tiangang was stunned and stared at Du He: "You... actually know how to make alchemy?"
Du He shook his head: "I don't understand, but I know you added a lot of sulfur to it, right?"
"I don't understand, so what are you talking about? Get out of here, Xiaofeng, see the guests off, and don't let them come in again!"
boom.
Yuan Tiangang directly pushed Du He out of the room and closed the door.
The little Taoist priest came over: "Please go out, you two, we don't welcome you in Qingfeng Temple!"
Du He was delighted and shouted: "Lu Bu..."
As soon as the tall and powerful Lu Bu came over, the little Taoist priest was so frightened that he ran away.
Du He was strolling in the yard and suddenly walked outside the room. He saw a lot of alchemy waste and raw materials piled at the door, so he squatted down and started studying.
Among them, there are several things that Du He is very familiar with.
charcoal!
sulfur!
Saltpeter!
In later generations, primary school students all knew that these three things were the raw materials for making black powder.
Du He became interested for a moment, so he took the tools from the side, ground these three things, and then mixed the sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal in a ratio of 1:2:3. These raw materials were all dry, and they only needed to be fully
Stir evenly, the simplest black gunpowder, and you're done.
Then, Du He got so playful that he found a bamboo tube, filled it with black gunpowder, sealed the opening with wet soil, and drilled a hole in the bottom, allowing some of the black gunpowder inside to leak out, and then threw it away.
In the far corner is a burning stove.
In the blink of an eye, a shining white light appeared in the stove and a rustling sound was made.
Snapped.
There was an explosion, and the stove suddenly went out, and all the firewood inside was blown out and scattered all over the floor.
squeak.
Yuan Tiangang ran out in a hurry and looked at Du He dumbfounded.
The little Taoist priest also ran out and hid behind the willow tree, looking here curiously.
Yuan Tiangang stepped forward and looked at Du He in surprise: "What happened just now? Why did my stove explode?"
Du He pointed to the remaining black gunpowder on the stone slab next to him and said calmly: "Is this the thing that exploded just now?"
Yuan Tiangang stepped forward and carefully observed the black powder for a long time, but could not see the reason. Finally, he said: "You are talking nonsense, how could this thing explode?"
"Watch it..."
After Du He finished speaking, he took out a finger of Chinese cigarette and lit it with a lighter, then put the cigarette butt on the black powder.
Swish, rustle, rustle.
The gunpowder burned instantly, emitting a white-blue flame.
"This...this...yes, this is the raw material of the elixir of life...hahaha!"
"Half a month ago, I also refined it when I was refining the elixir. However, later I didn't know how to refine it and kept trying... I didn't expect that you would refine it!"
Yuan Tiangang's face was full of shock!
Ding!
"Congratulations to the host, you have received 30 shock points from Yuan Tiangang!"
The shock value is as high as 30. You can imagine how shocked Yuan Tiangang was!
Then, Yuan Tiangang rushed forward, grabbed Du He's sleeve, and said excitedly: "Quick, quick, quick, tell me the formula for refining the ingredients of the elixir of immortality..."
Du He looked at the crazy Yuan Tiangang and thought to himself, is there something wrong with this guy's brain?
He looked at the other person curiously: "Do you think this thing can be used to make an elixir of immortality?"
"That's right, you are not the first to refine this thing, and neither am I... Historical records record that during the Northern Dynasties, someone made something that burned violently and emitted a fairy light. After refining it for seven, seven and forty-nine days, it became
After taking the immortality elixir, you can live forever!" Yuan Tiangang said yearningly.
