Regarding matters like the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart, Su Ziji did not explain it to the wild Taoist. The list he made for the wild Taoist contained very common materials. Although there seemed to be a wide variety, it was not difficult to find.
"Some of the flavors are indeed common elixirs."
"Refining something that covers the breath, and getting mixed up in it."
Everything Su Ziji needed was hidden in this list. If this list fell into Huo Wu's hands, he would probably just think that he was going to try his hand at refining ordinary elixirs.
Su Ziji returned to his home and sat alone in the study, listening to the howling of the cold wind outside, leaning back and just lost in thought.
"As for Xiao Huan Dan, I'm very interested in it, but one of the main ingredients in it is demon core."
"Isn't the so-called monster core the heart of a monster?"
"It turns out that it is not only about eating people, but also about eating monsters, so hunting monsters has become the main job of the Taoist sect, mostly for financial gain."
"My lord, something happened in southern Xinjiang!" Jian Qu hurried into the study just after seeing the wild Taoist off.
When Su Ziji heard that something happened in southern Xinjiang, his heart moved.
Jian Qu continued: "The Ning Kingdom invaded and plundered three counties. The border counties were shocked and reported it to the court."
"People from the Ning Kingdom?" Su Ziji thought about the fact that when he met Zhezi before, he was talking about thieves disturbing the border, but now he realized that he was from the Ning Kingdom.
This matter has directly changed its nature.
When Su Ziji went to the cabinet this morning, he had not seen the news about Ning Guo's invasion, but when he thought about it, he had only been there for about an hour and then came out. Judging from the speed that Jian Qu knew, there should have been another news after he left in the morning, so
This kind of thing is shocking and does not involve Dazheng's seizure of the throne. It can easily be used as a talking point, and the news will not be specially blocked. Jian Qu has been ordered to keep an eye on the affairs in southern Xinjiang, so it is not surprising that he would learn about it immediately.
"You continue to keep an eye on this matter. If there is any other movement, come and report to me immediately." Su Ziji thought for a moment and asked Jian Qu to continue to keep an eye on this matter.
"Whether it's Duan Qin's death or the accident in southern Xinjiang, everything is like a dream. Even if it all comes true, I will protect you." Thinking of what happened to Ye Buhui in the dream, Su Ziji thought to himself.
Suddenly, Su Ziji thought of Zhou Yao again.
"In the dream, I also dreamed about Zhou Yao. At the end of the dream, she was sick. I thought she was really sick before, but now it seems that there is something strange."
"Thunder, rain, and dew are all God's grace. If the emperor really wants Zhou Yao's heart, I'm afraid Zhou's father will have to kneel down with tears to thank God for his kindness, and then report his death to others."
Not to mention monarchs and ministers, they are brothers and sisters. Back then, the Tokugawa family had always regarded the Oda family as their allies. However, as the Tokugawa family expanded and occupied the territory of the Three Kingdoms, and as the hegemony of the Oda family gradually formed, Nobunaga asked
Tokugawa Ieyasu expressed his loyalty.
In order to preserve the alliance with the Oda family, Tokugawa Ieyasu killed his wife, Mrs. Tsukuyama, and forced his eldest son Nobuyasu to commit suicide.
In a society of monarchs and ministers, Zhou Yao, a mere civil servant, had no choice but to die of illness no matter how much his father loved Zhou Yao.
"Zhou Yao has taught me Buhui many times. She was really targeted and had her heart taken because of her joining Taoism. I must stop such a thing."
He was preparing to make an elixir while also refining something that could be worn with him to block aura fluctuations. The matter was urgent, and Su Ziji planned to make the elixir today.
In the afternoon, the wild Taoist had prepared all the materials on the list of the alchemy furnace and Su Ziji. Su Ziji asked someone to move the alchemy furnace to a vacant courtyard room in the mansion. From today on, this place is Su Ziji's.
The alchemy room.
"Mr. Lu, before I come out of my alchemy, no one is allowed to disturb me unless there is something important. Do you understand me?" Su Ziji told the wild Taoist with a solemn expression.
"My lord, don't worry, I understand." If it were others, they might be able to give advice, but a wild Taoist would not.
"What?"
When Ye Buhui learned the news, she was trying to strum the strings. Ever since she learned the piano from Zhou Yao, she would take some time to play one or two pieces every day. Although she was not as fond of playing chess, she could still hear the sound of her piano.
As you become more fluent day by day, you will feel a sense of accomplishment.
"My husband is refining elixirs?" Ye Buhui asked someone to put away the piano. She slowly stood up and walked in the warm spring house, moving her legs that were numb from sitting and kneeling.
"Yes, Mr. Jian seems to want to ask Madam for persuasion." A maid lowered her head and said.
Ye Buhui listened thoughtfully. The upper-class lady once ridiculed her for not reading much and for being a country girl. She also read a lot of books and understood what Jian Qu meant.
Let’s not talk about this dynasty, nor the emperor who was far away from the previous dynasty, but the Taixing Emperor who was not far away from death. I believe this very much. It was a top-secret incident at the time, but now it has been revealed that he issued an order to transport the necessary materials for alchemy.
He bought items 157 times, an average of two or three times a month, and finally died suddenly after taking pills.
It can be said that Confucianism has always been opposed to alchemy, believing it to be a heretic and evil way.
But my husband never did anything wrong, so Ye Buhui hesitated.
"Chirp!" At this moment, a small ball of white hair with yellow inside suddenly rushed out from outside the main courtyard door.
Hearing this cry, Ye Buhui felt happy: "It's Xiaobai!"
During this period of time, the little fox disappeared. Although Ye Bugui didn't say anything, she was a little worried. Now seeing the little fox wearing the sweater she knitted, she finally showed up and came home. Although she was angry, she still came out to greet him.
And the anger that arose from worry disappeared like a gust of wind when the little fox circled around her and chirped.
But she still tapped the little fox's nose with her fingertips and complained: "Xiaobai, where were you before? You couldn't run home. Do you know that I am worried about you?"
"You've been out for a long time. Have you grown up? Did you find someone outside?"
"Chirp!" The little fox, who was originally looking very proud, as if asking for credit from someone, heard it, stretched out his paws angrily, and swept Ye Buhui's fingers with his furry tail, and barked twice more, as if in protest.
"You still dare to protest, should I be beaten?" Ye Buhui strangely understood what it meant, and knocked it twice on the little head. He was already worried about her, but he also found that the sweater on the little fox's body was a little dirty, and he didn't know how to run away.
Wherever you go, if you are stained with dust, call the maid.
"Go and bring me the new sweater I knitted."
Then he said: "The chicken legs on the stove are warm and the meat for lunch is hot. Bring a basin to each of the two foxes. Remember, it is two basins."
If this is a pot, two foxes will fight.
"yes."
After a while, the big fox followed the food, smelled the fragrance and rushed over, and had a hearty meal with the little fox.
There were some untouched meats at noon, which were specially provided for the Duke of Dai and his wife, and they were all given a discount.
After eating, the two foxes cuddled up next to the stove. They were full and warm now, and they felt really comfortable.
"Chirp!" The big fox asked him how things were going. The little fox lay there proudly and simply said to the big fox.
When I was about to elaborate, I suddenly sniffed the air with my nose, as if I smelled something.
"Chirp!" Where are you going?!
The big fox couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw the little fox stand up and rush out.
