Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 2 The Talented Zhang Wei

Looking at the aggrieved little maid outside the window, even if she was dressed in ordinary clothes and squatted on the ground, she could not hide her graceful and beautiful figure.

Unfortunately, now I have more than enough energy.

Zhang Wei called out softly, "Xiao Qian."

The little girl under the tree moved her body, as if she wanted to stand up, but held back.

The little girl is also emotional, she just drove her away, and now she wants to call her back.

"Come here, the young master has something to ask you." Zhang Wei called again.

This time, the little girl finally stood up, but she was still a little puffed up. She stood there and asked, "Young master, do you have anything to ask the servants?"

Zhang Wei said directly: "Do you know honeysuckle, mangosteen, honey and earth dog?"

Xiaoqian was taken aback for a moment, obviously very strange to this question.She thought for a while and said, "Honeysuckle and Luo Han Guo are in the medicine of the young master. I often make medicine for the young master, and I know him well. The young master often drinks honey water, why do you ask this? As for the local dog, is it a dog raised in the countryside? ?"

Zhang Wei said: "Then can you bring me some, I want to see."

Xiaoqian nodded and said, "That's not a problem. It's just that the native dog is going to the countryside to hold one. I don't know if there is any."

After speaking, she hurried out of the courtyard.

Not long after, she was holding a tray, and the sharp-eyed Zhang Wei saw a few things inside, probably what he wanted Xiaoqian to find.

Xiaoqian was about to come over with the tray, and Zhang Wei immediately said, "Okay, put it on the table, I'll wait and see."

Hearing this, Xiaoqian became cold again.You called me in a good voice just now, but now you are not allowed to get close?Men are really big hooves.

She put down the tray heavily, turned around and left.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Wei shook his head again. He couldn't continue doing this. He had to find an opportunity to explain it to her.

But when the little girl is gone, he can come and see these things.

On the tray were two globs of dried medicinal herbs and a small bottle of honey.

Zhang Wei put his hand on a ball of medicinal materials, and before he could take a closer look, the word "Honeysuckle Flower" in the alchemy furnace in his mind lit up slightly.

Um? !Does this pill furnace also have an automatic recognition function?
He put his hand on another group of medicinal herbs, and sure enough, the word Luo Han Guo also lit up.

But his hand was on the porcelain jar containing honey, but the word honey did not light up.

Zhang Wei was stunned for a while, he knew this honey, that's right.

He thought about it for a while, poured a little honey from the bottle into his hand, and sure enough, the word honey in the pill also lit up.

Zhang Wei suddenly realized that he had to touch the medicinal herbs with his hands in order to identify the pill furnace, and it would not work if there was something in between.

Zhang Wei tried to add these medicinal materials into the pill furnace, but the pill furnace was unmoved. Zhang Wei had a vague feeling that this was because of insufficient materials.Incomplete materials, Dan furnace does not work.

Or the main ingredient of that flavor is missing.Since this thing is marked as the main material, it must be indispensable.

Xiaoqian is gone, and she won't be able to come back for a while.Zhang Wei looked around at his room. His room was very large, it was a suite, the outermost was a small hall for receiving guests, the middle was a sleeping bedroom, and the back was a convenient place to wash.

The room is big, but not much stuff.Zhang Wei came to his bookcase and saw only two books.

One is "Spring and Autumn Five Thousand Words" and the other is "Eshan Geography".

Seeing these two books, Zhang Wei remembered that, in addition to being a tuberculosis ghost, he was also a scholar who was admitted to the scholar's name.

This world uses Chinese and speaks Chinese, but the history is different.

Just like the "Spring and Autumn Five Thousand Words" he learned, it uses more than 5000 sentences to cover the history of the thirteen dynasties for thousands of years.It has been revised by countless generations of great Confucians.

This book is subtle and righteous, obscure and difficult, because there are many authors, and the ideas contained in it are also very complex. It is the most difficult classic to learn.But the former Zhang Wei was a tuberculosis ghost. He had nothing to do but read books to relieve his boredom every day.

Maybe he really has the talent for reading, relying on a book, abruptly passed the exam.

Xiu Cai went to Fucheng to take the exam. Back then, he dragged his sick body to take the exam. The pain of traveling back and forth almost cost him his life.But he also passed the Tongsheng and Xiucai exams at one time and became one of the junior students in Eshan County.

This is the young student who eats the tribute rice from the Dynasty, not the one who donated money to donate rice.The name of this young scholar is also the most proud of the original name.

That time, the rush for the exam almost cost him his life. As for going to the state city to take the exam, don't think about it. The family doesn't agree, and the original body is also afraid.

As for the "Eshan Geography", it was a gift specially given to him by the county magistrate after he was admitted as a scholar.

This book is not a classic and historical book, but a novel that records the mountains and rivers of Eshan County and its surrounding landscapes, anecdotes of strange people, and legends of ghosts.

For this kind of book, the original body is not interested, and after taking it back, it is put on the shelf, and now Zhang Wei is not interested in "Spring and Autumn Five Thousand Words", but is more interested in this 'novel'.

With the original literary quality, Zhang Wei has no difficulty reading this book.He opened the first page and began to read.

"Eshan is also a majestic mountain. It is more than a thousand feet high and stretches for thousands of miles. There are more than one hundred large and small peaks in it, ancient trees and forests, rapids and waterfalls, and dangerous cliffs and abyss of unknown size. It is called Eshui, Eshui Tangtang, which flows around the city, enters the waterfront, and enters the East China Sea."

Seeing this, the records are very normal, and it is a serious geography of mountains and rivers.

But what follows is a bit of a mystery.

"In the year of severe drought, when the Eshui falls, there will be a strange fish with a length of three feet, with a single horn on its head, a wide mouth and a long tongue, its body is black, its sound is like that of an ox, its line is like the wind, and it passes through the Eshui and enters the waterfront. ,Disappear."

Well, seeing this, this book has a strange plot. It can be said that it is a record of the Eshui Water Monster.However, this kind of plot is mostly hearsay and rumors, whether the author regards it as an interesting story or a true story, it is normal to memorize it.

A normal scholar must learn to distinguish between true and false, to distinguish the truth, and not to copy what others say, otherwise the vast water monkey rumors come from this way, and it takes a lot of hard work to refute the rumors of water monkey experts.

Taking a rough look, there are still many such records in this "Eshan Geography", which are absurd and uninhibited, and Zhang Wei sometimes has to admire the brains of these people.

But anyway, it is regarded as a novel, Zhang Wei also thinks that there is nothing incomprehensible.

After reading a few pages, Zhang Wei suddenly felt dizzy, and his weak body prevented him from continuing to read with his brain. Then he saw that something was wrong, so he could only put down the book and lie down on the bed.
