Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 246

Chapter 246

The Xu Luo whom Yu Ji spoke of seemed to be studying Taoist scriptures in the inner courtyard behind the Yuji Dojo, and was called to the front hall here not long after.

This Xu Dui looked to be in his 30s. He was also dressed as a Taoist and his clothes were simple. After being summoned at this moment, he seemed to already know that it was for elixir refining.

So he saluted Yu Ji first, and then saluted Zhu Wei.

"Xu Dui, this Mr. Zhu can be regarded as the real protector of our Taiping Dao. Now I want to ask you about the gunpowder for refining elixirs. Do you know anything? If you know, tell me directly. Don't hide it!"

Yu Ji flicked the fly whisk in his hand and assumed a respectful posture in front of Xu Zuo, which made people feel a little awe.

"No, the disciple will know everything!"

Xu Zuo answered Yu Ji respectfully, and then turned to look at Zhu Wei. Today, Zhu Wei suddenly led his troops to the dojo. He had previously demonstrated the ability to capture objects out of thin air, and the Taoist who had just gone to call him also quietly greeted him. He said it.

Now this Xu Zuo is also a little curious about Zhu Wei.

A disciple like him, who studied under Yu Jimen, was naturally not very familiar with what happened outside, so he had never heard of Zhu Wei's name.

It's just that I heard that Zhu Wei can ingest things out of thin air, which can be regarded as a real fairy magic power. Now I heard Yu Ji respectfully call Zhu Wei a real Dharma protector. Xu Luo really can't believe that Zhu Wei is so young, where did he learn this ability? .

"You are Xu Zhuo, Taoist Xu. Well, I heard that you like alchemy. I wonder if you know the theory of gunpowder, or that the alchemy furnace explodes when it encounters fire during alchemy!"

Zhu Wei was also looking at Xu Yu, seeing that he looked ordinary, like a Confucian scholar studying, but he didn't know how much he knew about alchemy.

In fact, Zhu Wei was already a little disappointed. It seemed that he couldn't find any Taoist priests who knew how to make alchemy here, and it was even more impossible to know the formula of gunpowder.

But this time, it was worth the trip to get a system-approved treasure book "Taiping Qingling Book" from Yuji.

"Returning to my son, although Xu Yu has never encountered an explosion, he has also heard that when making alchemy, if the wrong medicine is used, the alchemy may be destroyed, or as the son said, the alchemy furnace exploded, and the entire room was destroyed. Destroy, I heard that this is the theory of displacing gunpowder to anger Vulcan! Perhaps the gunpowder that you are asking about is the matter!"

Xu Yu thought about it for a while, and understood what Zhu Wei said, so he started talking about what he had heard. It seemed that he still knew what gunpowder was.

But Xu Luo's statement also shows that he has only heard of the existence of gunpowder, and he may not know how to configure gunpowder.

Zhu Wei frowned when he heard the words, "So, you just heard about it, and you don't know how the gunpowder is prepared?"

"Well, maybe. I have read a book on alchemy, and there is something in it that I must remember. It says that saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal should not be put into the furnace easily. It specifically introduces some examples of burning up the furnace for alchemy, and it is also recorded. I made some wrong recipes, that is, combining saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal, it can be made into a fiery elixir to drive away wild beasts, which can be regarded as a wild record! Now the gunpowder formula mentioned by the young master is not the recipe for refining the fiery elixir! "

Xu Luo frowned slightly, but he said something that interested Zhu Wei. The so-called hot pill raw material is also the raw material of black powder. Could it be that this is really a formula of black powder.

"Oh, there is such a recipe, can you configure it?"

Zhu Wei hurriedly asked, if he could make the so-called hot pill, maybe it could be made into a black powder bomb.

Anyway, Zhu Wei didn't need anything too precise, as long as he could use a jar or a cloth bag to make a bomb or a pack of explosives, and it would be enough to have the power to blow open the city gate.

"This..., maybe you can give it a try! Before that, I came to Kuaiji from Dantu in Wu County to study as a teacher. I was afraid that I would be robbed by bandits and beasts on the way. I once refined some hot pills. I used wax seals on the outside, and saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal on the inside. , plus some phosphor powder configuration, when used to crush the wax skin, throw it quickly, it can explode into a piece of flame in the air, but it is only dangerous, so I just refined some less powerful hot pills!"

Xu Yu once again said something that made Zhu Wei feel satisfied. Unexpectedly, he had already refined the so-called hot pill.

But listening to his words, it seems that it is a small explosive that can spontaneously ignite and explode in the air. At least the three raw materials of black powder are all there, and it may be something that is spontaneously ignited with white phosphorus added, but Zhu Wei listened. It feels like what you want is already within reach.

"That's right, that's exactly the case. Daoist Yu, can this Daoist Xu be temporarily seconded to the military barracks of the guards, and in the future, he can produce the things needed for the guards, so that he can return the copy of the Taiping Qing Lingshu to the Taoist priest together?" !"

Hearing Xu Yu's remarks, Zhu Wei naturally wouldn't let him go. As for how to arrange Xu Yu in the future, that's a matter for the future.

Yu Ji didn't expect that Xu Zuo would really do what Zhu Wei needed. Just seeing Zhu Wei's expression, Yu Ji thought about it and said with a smile, "Xu Zuo, you are learning Taoism as a teacher." It's been ten years! You have learned many Taoist scriptures in Taiping. You can follow Mr. Zhu this time, and you are not in a hurry to return to Kuaiji. When you go to Yuzhang with Mr. Zhu in the future, you can open a business in Yuzhang. A Taiping Daoist Temple, practice the Taiping Dao and preach in Yuzhang, you are willing!"

"Here, master, what Xu Luo has learned is not yet clear, and he still needs to ask the teacher for advice from time to time, so how can he bear the responsibility of preaching! Disciple..., disciple, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it!"

Xu Luo was naturally very surprised when he heard the words. He felt that he had not yet reached the time to be a teacher, so he looked at Yu Ji with confusion, but he didn't think of other aspects.

"Hehe, Xu Tuo, don't be humble. You have already learned the Taiping Taoist scriptures taught by your teacher. What you lack is the accumulation of merits and virtues of preaching. How about this? First, I will send a few senior brothers to help you for the teacher's association. Now that you have stabilized in Yuzhang, you can naturally take on the responsibility of preaching alone! Well, that’s it, Young Master Zhu, what do you think of this matter?”

Yu Ji no longer gave Xu Yu a chance to repent, but turned his head to look at Zhu Wei again. This was indeed a coincidence in Yu Ji's mind. On the one hand, he let Xu Yu be controlled by Zhu Wei, so Zhu Wei didn't have to worry about Xu Yu's future. This time, the utensils made by Zhu Wei were passed on to other places. On the other hand, it was an opportunity to let the Taiping Dao be publicly promoted in Yuzhang.

As long as there is Zhu Wei's support, Taipingdao can preach publicly in Yuzhang without worrying about the government chasing him for the crime of the Yellow Turban remnants.

Listening to Yu Ji and Xu Yu's words, Zhu Wei blinked his eyes in a daze at first, but soon he figured everything out in his mind, so Zhu Wei could only bite the bullet and agree first.

Anyway, if Xu Yu really developed a black powder-based explosive for Zhu Wei, then Zhu Wei really couldn't let Xu Yu get out of control easily.

However, if Yu Ji wants to promote Taiping Dao in Yuzhang, Zhu Wei believes that Wang Yuyan must have a way to restrict or guide Taiping Dao...
