Chapter 29 Chapter 27 Chiyou Metallurgy
Shennong's new tribe in the east was built in Qiongsang, and all the princes came to congratulate him.Chi You presented some gold wares, and Shen Nong was very surprised.Xiaoxuan presented oracle bone inscriptions. Shennong was overjoyed and named Xiaoxuan the leader of Qiongsang.Chi You was unhappy.When Shennong, the captain of the guard, Zhu Rong, and his daughter Nvwa came to Jiuli to search for herbs, they found that Chi You was making gold on a mountain, so they knew the origin of the gold.Shen Nong also discovered the five criminal laws invented by Chi You at this time.It turned out that Chi You was expanding Jiuli's territory. He wanted to smelt a sharp weapon, but the method was improper. After receiving the guidance of Shennong Guard Captain Zhu Rong, Chi You's metallurgy increased greatly.
Emperor Shennong's newly developed place-Qiangsang, the capital of the great tribes on the east coast of the sea, was finally completed, and naturally it was another grand celebration.This time, in addition to the Huoyan Hall, the palace of Emperor Yan, Shennong also built a very large platform for worshiping the sky in the style of Fuxi Terrace.It's just that the area is larger, not only Shennong stands on the stage, but more than a hundred people including the four major princes of the world can stand on the stage, and the emperor Shennong leads the people to worship to the sky. The new tribe, Qiongsang, was very lively. Day and night, in addition to singing and dancing, and bright pine fires, the princes and states also offered congratulatory gifts to Shennong.Shennong sits cross-legged in the center of the hall of Huoyan Hall, with Baifu standing beside him. Bai Fudao: "The new tribe, Qiongsang, was completed. The emperor, empress of the emperor and princes from all over the world all had congratulatory gifts. The emperor Fuxi sent someone to send a stag antler staff for the celebration ceremony. Empress Nuwa presented five pairs of pottery pots with fish patterns, pig There are five pottery bowls and five pottery pigs each, and more than a dozen pottery men. The Fire tribe presented an ivory bird-shaped dagger and three ivory carvings with double birds facing the sun. The Xiong tribe presented twenty stone sickles and stone millstones One pair. The Shaohao tribe presented four pairs of pottery xuns and twelve bone whistles with seven holes. The Jiuli tribe presented a pair of stamped pottery, a stone ax with shoulders, a pair of large stone rings, a golden hat, and a golden stick .” When Shennong heard this, he turned his body up and said: "I have heard and seen all the things mentioned above, but I have never seen the golden hat and golden stick presented by Jiuli. I remember that when Suiren was around, he got a golden stick. Chi You, you Is the stick offered the same as what Suiren left behind?" Chi You held up his stick and said, "Generally there is no difference." Shennong frowned and said, "How did you get this treasure?" Chi You said: "When we went to the Grand Ceremony of Taihao and Chenzhou, the Emperor Fuxi once broke the giant stone with force, and the other stone was smelted with fire. After three days of smelting, it was small and hard. I got this enlightenment, and returned to the Jiuli Queen's School Five hundred people searched for stones everywhere, and finally obtained countless stones, took them back and refined them, and then got this hat and stick. May I ask if the grandfather, Emperor Fuxi, is here?" Shennong said: "The emperor takes it as his mission to travel thousands of rivers and mountains, so he won't come this time." Chi You sighed: "Among the world, I am the most convinced, only grandpa Emperor Fuxi and you. You treat people generously. Helping all living beings with grains, and I are brothers. Although the emperor Fuxi is old, he can break stones with strength, and his strength is far better than mine. In our Jiuli, no one does not know that grandpa Fuxi and grandma Nüwa have worked for mankind. Continuing the story of brother and sister getting married, there is no one who does not know the supernatural power of Emperor Fuxi, but after I refined this gold, I thought, Grandpa's strength can break stones, so I wonder if I can break this gold?" After Chi You finished speaking, he looked around.There was a complete silence all around, everyone was looking at the things in Chi You's hands.Suddenly a person said: "Grandpa is not here, how about I try it?" Everyone followed the prestige, and saw Xiaoxuan, the son of Shaodian of the Xiong tribe, coming out of the crowd.Xiaoxuan said: "Brother Chiyou, you and I look about the same size, but I don't know who is older. But I know that you are the son of my aunt and daughter Deng. You are the most admired by grandpa Fuxi and Shennong, and you are my grandpa. The people I admire are my grandfather Fuxi and my master Ji Bo, today I will break the gold in your hands, is that okay?" Seeing that it was Xiaoxuan, Chi You laughed and said, "Brother Baby, if it's your master Uncle Ji who came to meet me, it's justifiable. You're too young, you better go back, don't make a fool of yourself!" Xiaoxuan said: "Even if it's to make a fool of myself, I'm here too. There's no reason to go back!" After that, Xiaoxuan swung his hands and went to snatch the golden stick from Chi You's hand. in front of.Seeing that he couldn't grab the golden stick, Xiaoxuan rushed towards the golden hat. Chi You followed the trend and picked up the hat and put it on his head. Can't dodge, let Xiaoxuan's fist hit his head. Hearing the sound of "铛啷啷...", Xiaoxuan turned somersault out of the circle, grinned, and his hands kept shaking, obviously in unbearable pain.Look at Chi You again, standing there without moving.Seeing Xiao Xuan's attitude, Chi You laughed loudly and said, "Brother, you are really ignorant, do you think you are Emperor Fuxi?" Everyone knows how hard this gold is.All of a sudden, there was endless praise from everyone.Chi You handed the golden stick and hat to Bai Fu and said, "This hat and stick are my Jiuli's tribute to my brother Shennong Yandi." Everyone clapped their hands in congratulations. Xiaoxuan also smiled and said, "This thing is indeed a sacred thing." After speaking, he waved his hand to Cangjie from the Xiong tribe and said, "Cangjie, bring up what I have offered." I saw Cangjie, Darao, Linglun, etc. The three of them came forward carrying a few bundles of bones.Xiaoxuan said: "This is the oracle bone inscription I dedicated to Emperor Shennong." "Oracle bone inscriptions?" After hearing this, everyone discussed.Shennong asked, "Xiaoxuan, what are oracle bone inscriptions?" Xiaoxuan said: "It is the words and deeds of the people recorded with a carving knife. This kind of writing material is taken from turtle bones or animal bones, so I call it oracle bone inscriptions." Shen Nong wondered: "So our speech today can be recorded in oracle bone inscriptions for future generations to read?" Xiaoxuan said: "Yes! However, ordinary people cannot memorize it. Only those who know how to write can memorize it." Shennong asked, "Then who can understand writing?" Xiaoxuan said: "Nowadays there are very few people who can understand characters, only me, my master Ji Bo, Cang Jie, Da Rao, and Ling Lun understand some. However, as time goes by, more and more people who understand oracle bone inscriptions will gather. .” Shennong said happily: "According to Xiaoxuan, this oracle bone inscription is similar to the Jiesheng Jiji written by Grandpa Emperor Fuxi, and it seems to be better than Jiesheng Jiji." Xiaoxuan said: "Emperor Shennong is right. My grandfather, Emperor Fuxi, has also seen my oracle bone inscriptions, and he praised them vigorously! The emperor also said that in the past, people used only language to transmit information. After the oracle bone inscriptions, written words It will become another way of transmitting information, and this way is more conducive to the horizontal and face-to-face transmission of language. It is a vertical transmission method. Today's oracle bone inscriptions can be passed on to any future era. people." Shennong said in surprise: "That's great. In this way, this object should be the most precious among all the tributes, and my wish can be fulfilled!" . During the banquet, Kuafu asked Shennong, "Emperor Shennong saw the oracle bone inscriptions presented by Xiaoxuan just now, and said that there is a wish that can be fulfilled. I don't know what the wish is?" Shennong said: "I search for herbal medicine day and night, develop farming, and seek the way of herbal medicine to heal diseases. However, it has never been able to find a good way. It is enough to develop farming and allow the people to plant and use it widely, but the study of herbal medicine is not something that can be generalized by agronomy, and there are only a few people who can understand it. Today there are After learning Xiaoxuan's oracle bone inscriptions, I can make a classic of Materia Medica and pass it on from generation to generation." After hearing this, everyone nodded and said: "Although Xiaoxuan is small, his skills are great!" Therefore, Shennong named Xiaoxuan and Chiyou first-class heroes, and made Xiaoxuan the Marquis of Poor Sang.Shennong also distributed the double-toothed wooden lei, the segmented stone adze, the plowing stone hoe, the wooden pole and stone plow, and the hemp spinning wheel, which he created, to the various tribes for use. But Chi You said that when he returned to Jiuli after the celebration, he remained silent all the time.Qiuqiu asked: "I see that you are troubled, is there something on your mind?" Chi You said: "This time when we went to the new tribe of Qiongsang, Xiaoxuan, the son of Shaodian, and I made first-class meritorious service, but he became Marquis of Qiongsang, and I only had a title." Qiuqiu said: "Are you angry too? I think that Shennong's Jiang Yan and you are brothers and have a brotherhood. The reason why I didn't give you anything is because you already have Jiuli. What if I ask you to do it again?" Poor Sanghou, what should Kuafu, Xingtian, and Baifu think? I think Shennong did the right thing!" After hearing this, Chi You was in a good mood, and smiled on his face and said, "So, I think too much. But I still have a lot of new ideas. Since my golden rod and golden hat have been called divine weapons by everyone, why don't I Do more, and do better." Qiuqiu said: "This idea is really good!" Chi You then selected 800 strong and strong men from the Jiuli tribe to form a team, which they called the Golden Team.Chi You said: "From now on, the 800 of you are the strongest and most capable members of our Jiuli tribe, now I will divide you into two groups of 400 people each, one group is Xunshan, led by Uncle Feng, you have to go They searched all over thousands of mountains and valleys for those colorful stones, that is, stones with gold content, and transported them back to Jiuli. The other group was smelting, led by Yu Shi, to smelt the returned stones into gold and make gold. into golden hats, golden sticks, golden daggers, and golden armor. Therefore, the team of Yushi must have some people design and develop, and some people to burn. The first thing is to build the stoves that I have seen in Taihao. I need to find a place to build more than a hundred of them. In addition, I have to cut down the trees, pick up branches and sticks as fire materials for forging gold utensils, etc. When we succeed in refining, I will refine hundreds of them. The golden man who is as strong as me has become an invincible and invincible warrior of our Jiuli people." What Chi You did is now called a smelter, and it used to be called a metallurgical furnace.The gold they refer to is not the gold and silver that is now referred to, but actually a kind of bronze.This kind of bronze is made of three metals: copper, tin and lead.In the past, what Suiren obtained on Qishan Mountain was that copper ore, tin ore, and lead ore were accidentally gathered together and calcined during volcanic eruptions.This kind of hard utensil obtained by accident was called gold by Suiren, Fuxi, and Jiang Yan, and it was also the source of what people later called the gold of metal materials.Fuxi went to Qishan Mountain to find the ore containing copper, tin and lead. He was inspired by the five elements in the conversation with Jiang Yan last time. Material, if this material can overcome wood and break stone, it will be great for the development of human beings in terms of tools and utensils.But Fuxi has something that Fuxi thinks is more important, so he speaks out his thoughts and shows them to these capable people in the Taihao tribe, hoping that any of them can turn his thoughts into an action, and create things into things. service, as the beginning of smelting.So, at the last family banquet, he slapped stones and alchemy at the same time, and gave Jiang Yan, Chi You, Kuafu, Xing Tian and others a simple rehearsal, and when the goal was achieved, he returned to his Kunlun Mountains went.He was really right. Among these few people, someone really noticed his practice of alchemy, and that person was Chi You. Time flies like an arrow, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle, and in a blink of an eye, a few years have passed.The mountains and rocks recovered by Chi Youjin's team have piled up like a mountain, but the fire stove used to burn the gold and stones has not been able to burn many gold products.Although Chi You had great ambitions, he was often worried when he saw all kinds of gold products that could never be burnt or could not be burnt well. One day, Shennong Jiang Yan brought his daughter Nvwa, chief guard Zhu Rong and several guards to Jiuli, Shu. Seeing Chi You walking back and forth by the stove, scratching his ears and cheeks, he called out: "Chi You, I am Jiang Yan!" When Chi You heard this, he ran over and knelt down and said, "Chi You didn't know that Emperor Shennong came here, and he was far away to meet him. He is guilty and guilty!" Jiang Yan stretched out his hand and said: "You and I are brothers, so there is no need to be so polite!" Chi You asked, "Why did you come here?" Jiang Yan said: "In the past year, the two tribes of Huozu and Taihao have had epidemic diseases. This disease is not limited to one or two people, sometimes it is contagious, and hundreds of people died of the disease. Let me go I traveled all over the mountains and rivers in order to find a kind of medicinal material to save the people from their illnesses." Chi You said: "Brother is really a kind and compassionate person. The whole world has a Shennong Emperor like you, and it is really a blessing. In our Jiuli tribe, someone once advised me to go back to Taihao and the Fire Clan, saying My combat power, able to take over the whole world, was dissuaded by me, now it seems that only because you, brother, think about the common people in the world, I, Chi You, have no second thoughts about you." Jiang Yan asked: "You are not in the Jiuli Palace, what are you doing here?" Chi You sighed, "I'm doing alchemy! It's been a few years since my grandfather Fuxi's method of alchemy. Look at how high this mountain of gold and stone is. I've started more than a hundred stoves. I've followed my grandfather's method. Not many gold objects have been refined now, only five golden sticks, six golden daggers, ten golden hats, and one golden sword handle have been refined. And the golden clothes I want most have not been refined. I am so angry Me!" Jiang Yan didn't answer, but Zhu Rong, who was standing next to Shennong, said, "You can't get much gold with a stove. You should change the stove to a stove!" Chi You asked: "What? You said to change the stove into a furnace?" Zhu Rong nodded and said: "Yes. Your alchemy stove is too small and short, the wind is not strong and it can't hold too many gold stones. If you change more than a hundred alchemy stoves into fifty alchemy stoves, the height of three people and the capacity will increase. Big, like four stoves, standing against the wind. I don't think the gold you get will be so little!" Chi You stared blankly at Zhu Rong, then asked Jiang Yan for a while, "Brother, who is this?" Jiang Yan said: "His name is Zhu Rong, and he is my chief guard." Chi You said: "What a god-man, I've been sitting here for more than a year, but why didn't I come up with such a wonderful method?" Zhu Rong said: "Actually, you should also have stayed in the Taihao tribe. In the process of firing pottery, the Taihao empress Nuwa used a kiln that was bigger than a stove! When firing pottery in a kiln, Pay attention to the use of fire and charcoal, and put the wood from the mountain into the fire to burn the charcoal, so that the fire used can be even. And when you use fire to burn harder gold, you should pay more attention to the quality of the fire." Chi You stared at Zhu Rong for a while, and said, "I wonder if Emperor Shennong also has a great god like you who has studied fire by his side, you are really a god of fire!" Jiang Yan said: "You praised him. However, he really has some knowledge about fire research." Chi You said: "This time you come, you have to stay with me for a few more days, so that I can ask your chief guard for advice." Shennong said: "It's easy to say." Then he turned to his daughter Nvwa and said, "My son, I have seen your Uncle Chi You!" Nvwa bowed her head and saluted.Seeing the girl's politeness, Chi You said, "I didn't expect the girl to be so big." The girl smiled in the wind, Fengwu had long hair and white clothes, she was absolutely beautiful, and the young Zhu Rong was in a daze! Chi You took Jiang Yan and his party back to Jiuli and talked with them all night.Ask about Fuxi, Nuwa, Kuafu, and Xingtian.Jiang Yan said: "The emperor's footprints are all over the world, and he has not returned for a long time. The empress Nuwa burns pottery every day. Kuafu is still cheerful and optimistic. He already has a son. Xingtian and Baifu comment on the sky and the earth every day, and often learn how the emperor blows. Playing Tao Xun, also live a chic and unrestrained life, each of them has a daughter. What about you? Don't you have any children?" Chi You said: "I also have two sons!" Then he asked Qiuqiu to lead the sons and said, "One of my two sons is called Feng and the other is called Lei. If they are born again, I will call them Shan, Shui, and Yu." , Snow..." Jiang Yan and the others burst out laughing. The next day, Shennong took the girl up the mountain to look for herbs, and Chi You specially sent some guards for Shennong.Shen Nong kept Zhu Rong to help Chi You study the burning of gold alchemy.Zhu Rong first walked back and forth on the mountains near Jiuli, pointed to a valley and said, "Nanhuohou, you should build the alchemy kiln in this place!" Chi You didn't understand, and asked, "This place is nine miles away. Li is a bit far away, why is it built here?" Zhu Rong said: "The key to the prosperity of the fire is the wind. This place is an outlet. Let your kiln stand against the wind. When the wind blows into the kiln, the fire can borrow the wind. Besides, look around this mountain. Big trees, these trees are the materials for burning charcoal. There is also that place..." Zhu Rong pointed to a relatively flat place and said, "How many gold and stones can be placed!" Chi You nodded and said, "What you said is true, this place is indeed a good place." Zhu Rong asked, "Where is the place where you put the gold stone? I'll go and have a look." Chi You led Zhu Rong back to the place where he used the stove to refine gold.Zhu Rong picked up those stones with his hand and looked at them, and asked, "How do you know that these stones can be refined into gold utensils?" Chi You said: "When I was in Taihao before, I saw the stone that Emperor Fuxi put on the stove to smelt, that's how it is." Zhu Rong shook his head and said: "I think the reason why you can't get many gold utensils is not only the problem with the refining method, but the gold stone is also a key part. If the gold content in your gold stones is relatively high, the gold produced by smelting There should be a lot of utensils. But if there is no gold content in the gold and stone? Then you will never smelt any gold utensils." Chi You said: "Unexpectedly, there is so much knowledge in it!" Zhu Rong said, "Call your people over, and I'll tell them what to do!" Chi You called those who were in front of him to Zhu Rong's side.Zhu Rong said: "You collide with stones and break them into pieces." Those people began to beat stones with stones.Chi You didn't know what Zhu Rong wanted to do, and he didn't understand what Zhu Rong was doing, so he said to Zhu Rong, "I asked my people to carry these stones from far away. It's not easy, so don't waste them." Zhu Rong smiled and said: "It can't be discarded. But many of your stones are useless. Putting those useless stones into the kiln, isn't it a waste of a lot of charcoal?" Chi You asked: "Then what are you smashing them for?" Zhu Rong said: "If you smash them, you can pick out useful things." Chi You suddenly realized, "So that's how it is." Chi You's men smashed it for several days, and smashed some big stones into stones smaller than fists.Zhu Rong asked people to pick out the colored stones from these stones, and then transported the picked stones to the newly dug metallurgical kiln.Because the newly dug kiln is more than ten times or twenty times larger than the original one, and there are not many ore blocks picked out, it took a long time to fill a kiln until Shennong came back and left again. , before slowly filling the kiln.Zhu Rong told the people of Jiuli to seal the roof of the kiln, and put tree trunks under the kiln to make charcoal fire for the kiln, and then shouted to start the fire.Looking at the blazing fire below the kiln, Chi You smiled and said to Zhu Rong, "This time it's up to you. If this firing is successful, I will promise you everything you want." Zhu Rong also laughed and said: "I don't know what the result will be. Besides, I have never made goldware before. I just watched it when Empress Renhuang Nuwa made pottery. Now I have transferred it to you. It’s an interesting thing to think about burning stones!” Chi You also laughed and said: "Transshipment may be development! I still remember that when Emperor Shennong, Kuafu, Xingtian, Baifu and others came to Jiuli for the first time, didn't Shennong also use Taihao's technique of using fire?" Did you move to Jiuli to win the trust of the Jiuli people? First people moved, then fire, then grains, and then... hahaha... this time The kiln has also been moved to our Jiuli. Hahaha..." The charcoal fire burned for three days and three nights before Zhu Rong let the fire be stopped.It took another day and night before the roof of the kiln was removed.Chi You and Zhu Rong entered the kiln first, and picked out some dark and heavy things from the kiln.Among these things, some are long, some are short, some are formed into a large piece, and some seem to be thinly connected together, which can be pulled apart by manpower, but they cannot be pulled apart. Bend and flatten.Chi You yelled, "Haha, it's a success!" Zhu Rong asked strangely: "How do you say it's successful? Why didn't I see it!" Chi You said: "It's not considered a success if so many different things come out at one time! In the past, every time I fired , only one or even one thing can come out! This time, dozens of such hard things can come out this time, what is it called success?" "Hurry up!" Chi You said, commanding the people of the clan: "Hurry up and transport these things to the river to wash them, wash them, and then polish them according to their styles, won't there be a lot of gold wares coming out?" ? Haha...it worked!" Looking at Chi You's appearance, I really got happiness that I have never experienced in the past two years!
Emperor Shennong's newly developed place-Qiangsang, the capital of the great tribes on the east coast of the sea, was finally completed, and naturally it was another grand celebration.This time, in addition to the Huoyan Hall, the palace of Emperor Yan, Shennong also built a very large platform for worshiping the sky in the style of Fuxi Terrace.It's just that the area is larger, not only Shennong stands on the stage, but more than a hundred people including the four major princes of the world can stand on the stage, and the emperor Shennong leads the people to worship to the sky.

Day and night, in addition to singing and dancing, and bright pine fires, the princes and states also offered congratulatory gifts to Shennong.Shennong sits cross-legged in the center of the hall of Huoyan Hall, with Baifu standing beside him. Bai Fudao: "The new tribe, Qiongsang, was completed. The emperor, empress of the emperor and princes from all over the world all had congratulatory gifts. The emperor Fuxi sent someone to send a stag antler staff for the celebration ceremony. Empress Nuwa presented five pairs of pottery pots with fish patterns, pig There are five pottery bowls and five pottery pigs each, and more than a dozen pottery men. The Fire tribe presented an ivory bird-shaped dagger and three ivory carvings with double birds facing the sun. The Xiong tribe presented twenty stone sickles and stone millstones One pair. The Shaohao tribe presented four pairs of pottery xuns and twelve bone whistles with seven holes. The Jiuli tribe presented a pair of stamped pottery, a stone ax with shoulders, a pair of large stone rings, a golden hat, and a golden stick .” When Shennong heard this, he turned his body up and said: "I have heard and seen all the things mentioned above, but I have never seen the golden hat and golden stick presented by Jiuli.

What if I ask you to do it again?" Poor Sanghou, what should Kuafu, Xingtian, and Baifu think? I think Shennong did the right thing!" After hearing this, Chi You was in a good mood, and smiled on his face and said, "So, I think too much. But I still have a lot of new ideas. Since my golden rod and golden hat have been called divine weapons by everyone, why don't I Do more, and do better." Qiuqiu said: "This idea is really good!" Chi You then selected 800 strong and strong men from the Jiuli tribe to form a team, which they called the Golden Team.Chi You said: "From now on, the 800 of you are the strongest and most capable members of our Jiuli tribe, now I will divide you into two groups of 400 people each, one group is Xunshan, led by Uncle Feng, you have to go They searched all over thousands of mountains and valleys for those colorful stones, that is, stones with gold content, and transported them back to Jiuli. The other group was smelting, led by Yu Shi, to smelt the returned stones into gold and make gold. into golden hats, golden sticks, golden daggers, and golden armor. Therefore, the team of Yushi must have some people design and develop, and some people to burn. The first thing is to build the stoves that I have seen in Taihao. I need to find a place to build more than a hundred of them. In addition, I have to cut down the trees, pick up branches and sticks as fire materials for forging gold utensils, etc. When we succeed in refining, I will refine hundreds of them. The golden man who is as strong as me has become an invincible and invincible warrior of our Jiuli people." What Chi You did is now called a smelter, and it used to be called a metallurgical furnace.The gold they refer to is not the gold and silver that is now referred to, but actually a kind of bronze.This kind of bronze is made of three metals: copper, tin and lead.In the past, what Suiren obtained on Qishan Mountain was that copper ore, tin ore, and lead ore were accidentally gathered together and calcined during volcanic eruptions.This kind of hard utensil obtained by accident was called gold by Suiren, Fuxi, and Jiang Yan, and it was also the source of what people later called the gold of metal materials.Fuxi went to Qishan Mountain to find the ore containing copper, tin and lead. He was inspired by the five elements in the conversation with Jiang Yan last time. Material, if this material can overcome wood and break stone, it will be great for the development of human beings in terms of tools and utensils.But Fuxi has something that Fuxi thinks is more important, so he speaks out his thoughts and shows them to these capable people in the Taihao tribe, hoping that any of them can turn his thoughts into an action, and create things into things. service, as the beginning of smelting.So, at the last family banquet, he slapped stones and alchemy at the same time, and gave Jiang Yan, Chi You, Kuafu, Xing Tian and others a simple rehearsal, and when the goal was achieved, he returned to his Kunlun Mountains went.He was really right. Among these few people, someone really noticed his practice of alchemy, and that person was Chi You. Time flies like an arrow, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle, and in a blink of an eye, a few years have passed.The mountains and rocks recovered by Chi Youjin's team have piled up like a mountain, but the fire stove used to burn the gold and stones has not been able to burn many gold products.Although Chi You had great ambitions, he was often worried when he saw all kinds of gold products that could never be burnt or could not be burnt well. One day, Shennong Jiang Yan brought his daughter Nvwa, chief guard Zhu Rong and several guards to Jiuli, Shu. Seeing Chi You walking back and forth by the stove, scratching his ears and cheeks, he called out: "Chi You, I am Jiang Yan!" When Chi You heard this, he ran over and knelt down and said, "Chi You didn't know that Emperor Shennong came here, and he was far away to meet him. He is guilty and guilty!" Jiang Yan stretched out his hand and said: "You and I are brothers, so there is no need to be so polite!" Chi You asked, "Why did you come here?" Jiang Yan said: "In the past year, the two tribes of Huozu and Taihao have had epidemic diseases. This disease is not limited to one or two people, sometimes it is contagious, and hundreds of people died of the disease. Let me go I traveled all over the mountains and rivers in order to find a kind of medicinal material to save the people from their illnesses." Chi You said: "Brother is really a kind and compassionate person. The whole world has a Shennong Emperor like you, and it is really a blessing. In our Jiuli tribe, someone once advised me to go back to Taihao and the Fire Clan, saying My combat power, able to take over the whole world, was dissuaded by me, now it seems that only because you, brother, think about the common people in the world, I, Chi You, have no second thoughts about you." Jiang Yan asked: "You are not in the Jiuli Palace, what are you doing here?" Chi You sighed, "I'm doing alchemy! It's been a few years since my grandfather Fuxi's method of alchemy. Look at how high this mountain of gold and stone is. I've started more than a hundred stoves. I've followed my grandfather's method. Not many gold objects have been refined now, only five golden sticks, six golden daggers, ten golden hats, and one golden sword handle have been refined. And the golden clothes I want most have not been refined. I am so angry Me!" Jiang Yan didn't answer, but Zhu Rong, who was standing next to Shennong, said, "You can't get much gold with a stove. You should change the stove to a stove!" Chi You asked: "What? You said to change the stove into a furnace?" Zhu Rong nodded and said: "Yes. Your alchemy stove is too small and short, the wind is not strong and it can't hold too many gold stones. If you change more than a hundred alchemy stoves into fifty alchemy stoves, the height of three people and the capacity will increase. Big, like four stoves, standing against the wind. I don't think the gold you get will be so little!" Chi You stared blankly at Zhu Rong, then asked Jiang Yan for a while, "Brother, who is this?" Jiang Yan said: "His name is Zhu Rong, and he is my chief guard." Chi You said: "What a god-man, I've been sitting here for more than a year, but why didn't I come up with such a wonderful method?" Zhu Rong said: "Actually, you should also have stayed in the Taihao tribe. In the process of firing pottery, the Taihao empress Nuwa used a kiln that was bigger than a stove! When firing pottery in a kiln, Pay attention to the use of fire and charcoal, and put the wood from the mountain into the fire to burn the charcoal, so that the fire used can be even. And when you use fire to burn harder gold, you should pay more attention to the quality of the fire." Chi You stared at Zhu Rong for a while, and said, "I wonder if Emperor Shennong also has a great god like you who has studied fire by his side, you are really a god of fire!" Jiang Yan said: "You praised him. However, he really has some knowledge about fire research." Chi You said: "This time you come, you have to stay with me for a few more days, so that I can ask your chief guard for advice." Shennong said: "It's easy to say." Then he turned to his daughter Nvwa and said, "My son, I have seen your Uncle Chi You!" Nvwa bowed her head and saluted.Seeing the girl's politeness, Chi You said, "I didn't expect the girl to be so big." The girl smiled in the wind, Fengwu had long hair and white clothes, she was absolutely beautiful, and the young Zhu Rong was in a daze! Chi You took Jiang Yan and his party back to Jiuli and talked with them all night.Ask about Fuxi, Nuwa, Kuafu, and Xingtian.Jiang Yan said: "The emperor's footprints are all over the world, and he has not returned for a long time. The empress Nuwa burns pottery every day. Kuafu is still cheerful and optimistic. He already has a son. Xingtian and Baifu comment on the sky and the earth every day, and often learn how the emperor blows. Playing Tao Xun, also live a chic and unrestrained life, each of them has a daughter. What about you? Don't you have any children?" Chi You said: "I also have two sons!" Then he asked Qiuqiu to lead the sons and said, "One of my two sons is called Feng and the other is called Lei. If they are born again, I will call them Shan, Shui, and Yu." , Snow..." Jiang Yan and the others burst out laughing. The next day, Shennong took the girl up the mountain to look for herbs, and Chi You specially sent some guards for Shennong.Shen Nong kept Zhu Rong to help Chi You study the burning of gold alchemy.Zhu Rong first walked back and forth on the mountains near Jiuli, pointed to a valley and said, "Nanhuohou, you should build the alchemy kiln in this place!" Chi You didn't understand, and asked, "This place is nine miles away. Li is a bit far away, why is it built here?" Zhu Rong said: "The key to the prosperity of the fire is the wind. This place is an outlet. Let your kiln stand against the wind. When the wind blows into the kiln, the fire can borrow the wind. Besides, look around this mountain. Big trees, these trees are the materials for burning charcoal. There is also that place..." Zhu Rong pointed to a relatively flat place and said, "How many gold and stones can be placed!" Chi You nodded and said, "What you said is true, this place is indeed a good place." Zhu Rong asked, "Where is the place where you put the gold stone? I'll go and have a look." Chi You led Zhu Rong back to the place where he used the stove to refine gold.Zhu Rong picked up those stones with his hand and looked at them, and asked, "How do you know that these stones can be refined into gold utensils?" Chi You said: "When I was in Taihao before, I saw the stone that Emperor Fuxi put on the stove to smelt, that's how it is." Zhu Rong shook his head and said: "I think the reason why you can't get many gold utensils is not only the problem with the refining method, but the gold stone is also a key part. If the gold content in your gold stones is relatively high, the gold produced by smelting There should be a lot of utensils. But if there is no gold content in the gold and stone? Then you will never smelt any gold utensils." Chi You said: "Unexpectedly, there is so much knowledge in it!" Zhu Rong said, "Call your people over, and I'll tell them what to do!" Chi You called those who were in front of him to Zhu Rong's side.Zhu Rong said: "You collide with stones and break them into pieces." Those people began to beat stones with stones.Chi You didn't know what Zhu Rong wanted to do, and he didn't understand what Zhu Rong was doing, so he said to Zhu Rong, "I asked my people to carry these stones from far away. It's not easy, so don't waste them." Zhu Rong smiled and said: "It can't be discarded. But many of your stones are useless. Putting those useless stones into the kiln, isn't it a waste of a lot of charcoal?" Chi You asked: "Then what are you smashing them for?" Zhu Rong said: "If you smash them, you can pick out useful things." Chi You suddenly realized, "So that's how it is." Chi You's men smashed it for several days, and smashed some big stones into stones smaller than fists.Zhu Rong asked people to pick out the colored stones from these stones, and then transported the picked stones to the newly dug metallurgical kiln.Because the newly dug kiln is more than ten times or twenty times larger than the original one, and there are not many ore blocks picked out, it took a long time to fill a kiln until Shennong came back and left again. , before slowly filling the kiln.Zhu Rong told the people of Jiuli to seal the roof of the kiln, and put tree trunks under the kiln to make charcoal fire for the kiln, and then shouted to start the fire.Looking at the blazing fire below the kiln, Chi You smiled and said to Zhu Rong, "This time it's up to you. If this firing is successful, I will promise you everything you want." Zhu Rong also laughed and said: "I don't know what the result will be. Besides, I have never made goldware before. I just watched it when Empress Renhuang Nuwa made pottery. Now I have transferred it to you. It’s an interesting thing to think about burning stones!” Chi You also laughed and said: "Transshipment may be development! I still remember that when Emperor Shennong, Kuafu, Xingtian, Baifu and others came to Jiuli for the first time, didn't Shennong also use Taihao's technique of using fire?" Did you move to Jiuli to win the trust of the Jiuli people? First people moved, then fire, then grains, and then... hahaha... this time The kiln has also been moved to our Jiuli. Hahaha..." The charcoal fire burned for three days and three nights before Zhu Rong let the fire be stopped.It took another day and night before the roof of the kiln was removed.Chi You and Zhu Rong entered the kiln first, and picked out some dark and heavy things from the kiln.Among these things, some are long, some are short, some are formed into a large piece, and some seem to be thinly connected together, which can be pulled apart by manpower, but they cannot be pulled apart. Bend and flatten.Chi You yelled, "Haha, it's a success!" Zhu Rong asked strangely: "How do you say it's successful? Why didn't I see it!" Chi You said: "It's not considered a success if so many different things come out at one time! In the past, every time I fired , only one or even one thing can come out! This time, dozens of such hard things can come out this time, what is it called success?" "Hurry up!" Chi You said, commanding the people of the clan: "Hurry up and transport these things to the river to wash them, wash them, and then polish them according to their styles, won't there be a lot of gold wares coming out?" ? Haha...it worked!" Looking at Chi You's appearance, I really got happiness that I have never experienced in the past two years!
