Chapter 207

Xuandu guanhou street.

Merton walked along the bluestone street in strange clothes. The shops on both sides of the street were selling incense and candles.

"Four young masters, but they want to go to the xuandu temple to burn incense. It's only when they bring some incense that they seem sincere." a shop clerk dressed up in Taoist clothes greeted the four people.

Qin Huaiyu waved impatiently. This was the fifth wave. The four people were dressed in strange clothes. In this busy street, they turned back almost 100%. In addition, although the four people wore strange clothes, their clothes and fabrics were exquisite, clean and tidy. At first glance, they were not poor people, and soon became the sales target of many merchants.

Merton was not angry, but he was used to this kind of business behavior. He reached out to find some Kaiyuan Tongbao in his pocket and put it in the hand of the Taoist clothes clerk: "we don't need incense and candles anymore. We're looking for some materials for alchemy."

Merton and others turned around and didn't find that the alchemy materials such as saltpeter were all incense candles used by ordinary pilgrims. Since they couldn't find a place, they asked a local snake.

The waiter's face was happy. These are a few big money, enough for his salary for a day. As soon as his hands shrunk, several Kaiyuan Tongbao immediately disappeared into the middle of the generous Taoist robe: "you young masters, you can ask the right person. This street is all for pilgrims. The materials asked by the young master are used by the Taoist master. Naturally, they will not be sold in the open."

Merton frowned and said, "where can I buy it?"

"Along this street, turn right and see the alley with a gossip flag!" the man said brightly without selling off.

According to the address the man said, the four saw a gossip flag in a corner.

After entering the alley, Merton immediately felt that he had entered a small workshop like chemical plant in later generations, where there were almost all kinds of chemical materials.

"Alum!"

Chumo looks at the gall alum they just pounded and says in surprise. It's such a little magical thing, but it gives them a big surprise.

Along the way, Merton couldn't help being an eye opener. Here are not only alum, borax, stone mother, dansha, realgar, etc., but also the famous chemical raw materials called by Merton, which have a complete variety. It's like walking into an open-air chemical laboratory.

"Ah sneeze"

A pungent smell came. Merton couldn't help sneezing. Which guy burned the sulfur.

"Be careful!"

Merton looked at the shop on the right. A man with a waxy yellow face and thin face didn't wear a mask. He just padded it with a few pieces of sheepskin. He poured a jar of silvery white liquid into small bottles, and next to him was filled with blood red cinnabar, which are commonly used by Taoist alchemy.

Merton saw clearly that it was a jar of mercury, commonly known as mercury, which was the most commonly used thing in Taoism.

"Young master, I've been careless. I've been refining mercury for decades. I've never made any mistakes. As long as I don't touch my body, I won't have any problems." the waxy yellow man opened his yellow and black teeth, threw aside the sheepskin cushion in his hand, and said indifferently.

Merton and other waxy yellow men sealed the vials one by one with corks. Then he slowly approached and looked at the waxy yellow man's face and said, "do you often have dizziness and headache?"

The waxy yellow man was stunned and his face changed from yellow to white.

"I'm afraid your teeth have dropped almost, and even the only teeth are probably loose!" Merton sighed and said with pity.

The waxy yellow man's hands shook again, and his face turned from white to red.

"And your hand shaking is not for a while and a half, but often! I'm afraid you have some difficulties with chopsticks now!" Merton sighed as he stared at the waxy yellow man's trembling hands.

"The young master is really a miracle doctor!" the waxy yellow man said with sincere admiration. "The villain has been shaking his hands for more than ten years. I didn't expect the young master to be able to see it at a glance."

At this time, out of the inner room came a woman with the same sallow complexion, holding a large porcelain bowl of water in her hand, holding a yellow pill in her right hand and saying, "my husband, it's time to take the medicine!"

Suddenly, Merton's eyes were attracted by the pill in the woman's hand. The pill had a smooth surface and attractive color. When illuminated by the sun, it fainted with a trace of luster, which made people unable to help being attracted.

The waxy yellow man picked up the pill, picked up the water from the porcelain bowl and drank it. Soon, the waxy yellow man's face flushed. After a while, there was sweat oozing from his forehead. The whole man was excited. The original non-stop Sinian's hands also recovered their stability.

"Master xuandu temple's pill is worthy of the art of immortals. Villains have been suffering from this disease for decades. There is no medicine for many famous doctors, but this pill makes villains like reborn." the waxy yellow man looked at the direction of xuandu temple with respect and worshipped three times. His face was solemn like a reborn parent.

Merton's face immediately stagnated. After a long time, he sighed: "next time when refining mercury, it's best to choose an open place. If it's not enough, it's OK to buy some charcoal to make a mouth cage, which can alleviate the symptoms."

The waxy yellow man disapproved, but the woman stretched out her hand and pulled him down. Then she quickly saluted and said, "thank you for reminding me, young master. I should just keep it in mind."

Merton knew that the waxy yellow man didn't listen to his words. He couldn't help sighing. He had done what he said here.

After walking a long way, Merton couldn't help looking back. He saw that the waxy yellow man continued to turn the cinnabar in his workshop without taking Merton's words to heart.

"This man is deeply poisoned!" Qin Huaiyu said meaningfully.

"The poison has entered the body! Three points into the bone!" Merton said word by word with a trace of pain on his face.

"How? I think this man is very smart. He uses a sheepskin cushion. Obviously, he also knows that Mercury is not suitable for human contact. How can he be poisoned?" Chumo wondered.

"Do you think you'll be fine without contact? If you buy the jar of mercury, open the plug and put it down for a few days, you'll find that your Mercury is gone?" Merton explained the volatilization of mercury.

"Ah!" Wei Chi Baolin said in a surprised voice, "since Merton can see this person's condition at a glance, is it...?"

Looking at Wei Chi Baolin's hopeful eyes, Merton shook his head regretfully.

In this era, it is impossible to synthesize drugs to solve mercury poisoning, otherwise Merton would sit back and watch this phenomenon.

"Let him go to Mo hospital. I believe doctor sun and doctor Hua must have a way."

Merton shook his head and said with a heavy face, "it's hard to save the stone!"

The nerve damage caused by mercury poisoning is irreversible and lasting. This person has been refining mercury for a long time and has been poisoned into his internal organs. Now he can hold it. It is probably because he has been exposed to mercury for a long time because he has developed a certain resistance over time.

"How is it possible? Isn't the pill of xuandu Temple very effective?" Wei Chi Baolin suddenly looked up and asked incredulously, but he saw the waxy yellow man recover immediately after taking the pill with his own eyes.

"What if mercury was mixed in the refining pill?" Merton said faintly. He knew the reason why the waxy yellow man was energetic. The pill in this era acts as a stimulant, which can naturally give the waxy yellow man the illusion of healing.

"Isn't that a pill..." Qin Huaiyu and his three men were shocked. How many people have been pursuing the illusory way of long life and taking pills, isn't that

Qin Huaiyu shuddered when they thought about it. In this hot afternoon, their hearts were as cold as 39 days.
