Chapter 84
Under the urging of several people, Mr. Yi said slowly: "You have never studied Taoist culture, so naturally you don't know the origin of this thing!"
An expert asked: "Is this thing related to Taoist culture? I think this thing looks like a tripod. Ding was used as a food vessel in ancient times, and it gradually evolved into a sacrificial tool in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Because The power of sacrifice is often in the hands of the controllers of the country. Therefore, the tripod has gradually evolved into a symbol of power. This is why there are idioms such as "one promise and one tripod, aspire to the Central Plains". I don't know what relationship this tripod has with Taoist culture?"
This expert is an expert on gold and stone cultural relics who just proposed the sacrificial method of stewing living people with a copper tripod. His colleague who asked the question also told the origin of the tripod, which opened Chen Feng and Liu Yuesheng's eyes. It turns out that the origin of the tripod is Such.Sure enough, being with these cultural people is still useful.
Mr. Yi heard the expert's explanations and questions, and explained to him: "This is indeed a tripod, but it is not an ordinary tripod. Ordinary tripods used for sacrifices and symbols, such as the unearthed Simuwu tripod are four The shape of the footed square tripod and the Wangziwu tripod unearthed in Luoyang are in the shape of a three-legged round tripod. The tripods unearthed in these years are nothing more than these two shapes. But this tripod is indeed quite different from those two shapes. It not only It has five legs and is divided into upper and lower layers. The other shapes are the same as the Yuanding, they are all round and have two ears. So everyone has never seen this thing."
Mr. Yi talked for a long time before getting to the point, everyone was a little anxious and hurriedly urged: "So, what does this shape of the tripod have to do with Taoism?"
When Chen Feng heard that it was related to Taoism, this Mr. Yi talked about the appearance for a long time.He went back to the kitchen and took out the bell-filled lid from his bag, and brought it over.
When everyone saw Chen Feng walking over with a cover engraved with five elements and eight trigrams, they realized that this tripod might have something to do with Taoism.When Mr. Yi saw the cover, his eyes lit up: "I said something was missing! It turned out to be it! This way everything has a reasonable explanation!"
Chen Feng put the lid on the bell tripod and said: "This is the lid of this tripod."
"How is it possible!" An expert stood up and said, "The cauldron has no lid, how could this thing have a lid?!"
Mr. Yi fiddled with the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams patterns on the lid of the Zhongqinding Ding for a long time, and suddenly several pleasant clicking sounds came from the Zhongqindingding, after which the lid was integrated into the body of the tripod extremely tightly.Even Chen Feng, the owner of the bell-exhausted cauldron, has never seen this kind of situation before. Chen Feng hurriedly stepped forward to lift the lid, but the lid was tightly attached to the body of the tripod. open.
Mr. Yi said to Chen Feng: "Master Chen, don't waste your efforts! Just listen to me first, and the lid will open automatically."
Chen Feng had no choice but to give up, and began to listen to Teacher Yi's small class.Mr. Yi continued: "After the lid is closed, what do you guys think it looks like?"
Several people looked and looked around Zhong Qingding, and an expert said with doubts: "It looks like a Taoist alchemy furnace. But the alchemy furnace does not have this shape! I have seen few alchemy furnaces, because since the Jiajing period in the Ming Dynasty, alchemy has been used for a long time. Gradually disappeared from the stage of history. So there are very few remaining alchemy furnaces, but alchemy furnaces are generally refined on top of stoves or firewood. This kind of alchemy furnace can put firewood inside, such a small mouth It’s okay to heat a hot pot, but if you want to make alchemy, I’m afraid it won’t be able to reach the heat required for alchemy, so please forgive my ignorance, I haven’t seen it before.”
Mr. Yi nodded and continued: "Professor Gao is right, this thing does have the same function as an alchemy furnace. This is a alchemy cauldron!"
Everyone was in an uproar, Dan Ding!It turned out to be Dan Ding!Some of them have never even heard of it, and some have only heard about it in myths and novels, but they actually saw it today.
"Ahem!" Mr. Yi was very satisfied with everyone's expressions, he coughed for silence, and then continued to speak: "I also saw this thing described in an ancient Taoist book, saying that this kind of thing was developed by a Taoist cultivator. A kind of alchemy tool that comes out. After they put a small amount of fuel into the small mouth below, they stimulate the true energy to make the fuel emit high energy and high heat to refine the elixir. The lid on the top coincides with the five elements and eight trigrams, corresponding to the time when the elixir is refined. The five elements and eight trigrams can move the pattern on the cover to close it, and the cover can be opened automatically when the alchemy is completed or when the fire is extinguished. But this is the first time I have seen this thing, and I followed the records in the ancient books. After a while, they can actually live together.”
Several experts began to admire the wisdom of the ancient Chinese, but they sneered at the use of zhenqi for alchemy recorded in ancient books.Mr. Yi said that he didn't really believe it either, but Naihe really saw the same Dan Ding as recorded in the ancient books, how could he not believe it.
Mr. Yi asked Chen Feng: "Where did you get this alchemy tripod?" He doubted very much that this altar tripod was dug out of the soil, but he couldn't say clearly.If the source is not correct, he still has a chance to get this alchemy tripod.
Chen Feng definitely couldn't say it was fished out of the pond, so his pond must have been dug up, so he made up a lie and said: "This is passed down to me by the master who taught me to cook. He said that cooking with this will be more delicious. tasty."
Mr. Yi didn't get the answer he wanted, so he continued to lie to Chen Feng: "Actually, this tripod should be golden. The reason why it is like this should prove that this thing came out of the soil! After it came out of the soil, The color of the exterior quickly oxidized and turned into the current bronze color. Isn’t that right, Master Chen?”
Chen Feng was shocked, he didn't expect that Mr. Yi knew so much!Even the one that was always golden when it was caught just now knows how much is recorded in that ancient book!Chen Feng shook his head and said: "I don't know the origin of this thing that my master passed on to me, and I don't know if it was unearthed, but my master said that it is really delicious to cook!"
Mr. Yi felt that he couldn't get any useful information from Chen Feng, so he had no choice but to say: "Because of the long-term refining of golden elixir, this ding ding has a layer of golden elixir oxide layer on the outside, although it oxidized and faded quickly after it was unearthed. But some of the taste and medicinal effect of the golden elixir remain in the inner wall of the elixir cauldron. Cooking is naturally very delicious!"
Chen Feng nodded, Mr. Yi was right!
Mr. Yi asked: "So Mr. Chen, although this thing is good for cooking, it is an unearthed thing after all. Presumably everyone is not willing to use unearthed things to eat. Why don't you sell it to me, I am interested in Taoism Some research. It's worth the money!"

Chen Feng did not expect that this Mr. Yi knew so much about Dan Ding.Although Chen Feng didn't understand Taoist culture very well, let alone read the ancient book Mr. Yi mentioned, he had heard about alchemy.I also know that alchemy is ancient alchemy, and ancient emperors liked alchemy for immortality.But I didn't expect that besides the alchemy furnace, there would be such a thing as Dan Ding.
If it wasn't for Mr. Yi's explanation, Chen Feng would have thought that the Dan Ding was an invention of the aborigines in the wild world, so the earth also has this kind of thing.
However, although this Mr. Yi has a kind face and looks gentle with his glasses, he keeps referring this tripod to the unearthed cultural relics in his words. I don't know what his intentions are.Chen Feng kept explaining that it was the alchemy tripod handed down by his master, not something unearthed, but he actually explained the details of the oxidation reaction after unearthed very clearly. While talking, his eyes kept looking at Chen Feng's face, as if he wanted See what clues.
Chen Feng had long seen that this old guy was harboring evil intentions, so how could he show a surprised expression.
At this time, after Liu Yuesheng saw Mr. Yi finished speaking, the atmosphere was a bit awkward, no one was talking, he stood up and wanted to lift the lid of the Danding: "Everyone eat, this is the Danding who has practiced Jindan! Now it is used by us to eat hot pot, today we are really touched by Master Chen!"
But after he finished speaking, he didn't lift the lid. He could only smile awkwardly and look at Mr. Yi and Chen Feng.
Mr. Yi's sharp eyes were still staring at Chen Feng. After noticing Liu Yuesheng's words, he noticed that he wanted to lift the lid this time, so he said, "Boss Liu, please wait a little longer. This Danding has a special function. After the elixir or the food inside reaches the heat, it will be opened automatically."
Liu Yuesheng and several experts' eyes widened. Is it such an amazing function?Could this be a microwave oven? There will be a "ding" sound after it is cooked!
After less than a minute, there was a crisp sound like a bell hitting the tripod, which was very pleasant.Then the five elements and eight trigrams on the cover automatically reset, and there was a gap between the cover and the tripod body.
Mr. Yi was a little puzzled when he heard this very pleasant voice.There is such a nice sound, it really is a good thing!The Dan Ding recorded in the ancient books did not say that it had such a special sound.Could it be that this alchemy tripod is more precious than what is recorded in ancient books?Thinking of this, Mr. Yi strengthened his determination to get this Dan Ding.
Liu Yuesheng hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the lid, and a scent came out!Everyone couldn't help groaning, this Dan Ding is really a magic weapon!It can make such a delicious hot pot base!Several people hurriedly prepared to move their chopsticks, but an expert suddenly stopped his chopsticks and asked, "Mr. Yi, this cauldron that has been refined for pills won't be harmful, right?"
Hearing his question, everyone stopped their chopsticks. People at their level pay great attention to food safety, for fear of accidentally eating themselves to death.
"Yes, yes, I heard that the ancients used mercury and metals to refine alchemy. This mercury is mercury, a highly poisonous thing. We will have no problem eating it!"
Mr. Yi shook his head and said: "According to ancient records, the elixirs made with mercury are all low-level elixirs, and most of them are refined in alchemy furnaces. And this kind of elixir only refines the essence of various plants and trees. , and then make pills in this cauldron. I haven’t seen the specific plant essence. It should be medicinal materials with good medicinal effects and high age. So we have no problem eating hot pot with this cauldron now. As long as you don’t Just worry about whether you won't make up for it." After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at those people.
When these people heard what Mr. Yi said, they immediately felt relieved.Then they started scrambling to eat, obviously wanting to prove that they are not worthless, that they are still healthy and strong.
At this moment, Chen Feng stood aside, watching them gobble up hot pot and fried vegetables.In fact, his main eyes were on this Mr. Yi, he was afraid that this Mr. Yi would do something to his bell while he was not paying attention.
Finally they finished eating, Chen Feng took his precious tripod back to the kitchen to clean up, and then prepared to leave in Liu Yuesheng's special car.
At this time, Mr. Yi suddenly came out to see him off, and said to Chen Feng: "Little Master Chen, are you sure you don't plan to sell this alchemy tripod? I have some understanding of Taoist pill culture, so it's better for you to sell it to me than to keep it." It's good to make a hot pot in your hands, won't it make its bright pearl dusty if you treat it like this?"
Chen Feng said: "I'm really sorry, the teacher's order is hard to break!"
Seeing that Chen Feng did not let go and was about to get in the car, Mr. Yi suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Chen Feng: "1000 million!"
Chen Feng said: "Not for sale! Goodbye!"
Then he got into the special car that Liu Yuesheng had prepared to pick him up, and when the car started to drive down the mountain, Mr. Yi sternly yelled at Chen Feng: "I put the baby with you, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep it!"
At this time, Chen Feng obviously understood that Mr. Yi couldn't buy it, so he probably planned to use some dirty tricks next.But Chen Feng is not afraid of these at all!
Chen Feng went down the mountain and returned home. After cooking for a few children who had already come home from school and were watching cartoons, he invited the children to start practicing together.
Suddenly Chen Feng's phone rang. Chen Feng picked up the phone and saw that it was Director Song.What did he call him for?Do you want to return to visit the current living conditions of several children?Chen Feng picked up the phone: "Hello? Director Song! How are you doing? Why did you remember to call me?"
Director Song's voice on the other end of the phone asked in a low voice, "Xiao Chen, stop gossip. Have you offended anyone recently?"
Director Song asked like this, how could Chen Feng not know that something happened to him, Chen Feng said: "Just tell me, what's going on?"
Director Song continued: "Someone anonymously reported you for stealing and digging an ancient tomb, and there are bronze wares unearthed in your home."
Chen Feng laughed: "Hehe, you actually played this trick. Well, I understand."
Director Song scolded: "You know, I don't know yet! Of course, I don't believe that you are such a person who robs and digs ancient tombs, and you report anonymously. I think you must have offended someone."
Chen Feng said: "It's okay, you can rest assured Song Ju, I'm definitely not that kind of person! Besides, I don't have any bronze vessels at home. If you really want to perform your duties, you can come and search." Chen Feng was not afraid of any search at all, because I have already mastered a method of hiding things, that is to hook them on a fishhook and put them into the system space.
