MTL - Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms-Chapter 57 The ancient man who wanted to refine the elixir

  Chapter 57 The ancient man who wanted to refine the elixir

  Cheng Ling stood in front of this bamboo fence, unable to move for a while.

   A deep valley is seen in the deep mountains, an old house is seen in the deep valley, and a medicine garden is seen in front of the old house.

Although the    medicine garden has been abandoned, but so many ginseng grow in it, it is conceivable that this medicine garden must have been carefully taken care of.

   These ginsengs were planted by someone, but I don’t know where the people who once planted ginseng went. What kind of story was there behind the abandoned medicine garden and this wooden house?

   There are too many secrets in this world, and there are surprises everywhere in life.

  Cheng Ling observed for a while in front of the bamboo fence, and planned to go to the wooden house to have a look.

   If the owner of the ginseng is no longer there, and this medicine garden is abandoned and unowned, then she will laugh at the ginseng.

  The moonlight was very soft, and Cheng Ling walked lightly into the wooden house.

   stepped in with one foot, and the first thing to be alarmed was nothing else, but it turned out to be a litter of mountain mice!

Several mountain mice with big fists squeaked and suddenly came out from the corner of the wooden house. When it was discovered that Cheng Ling was just standing in the middle of the wooden house and did not do anything else, these mountain mice did not run away immediately, but turned their eyes to look. Cheng Ling for a while.

  Cheng Ling thought: These mountain mice must have never seen a stranger, so they are not afraid of people.

   She took out a strong-light flashlight from the material space, and lit it around, and when the strong light appeared, the mountain rats suddenly jumped up and ran around as if they were touched by something.

   Most of the furnishings in the wooden house are old and rotten, but it can be seen that the previous layout of this wooden house has obvious characteristics.

   The most conspicuous thing is that there is a full-wall lattice cabinet standing against the wall that goes straight to the top. This kind of lattice cabinet usually appears in drugstores. The small lattice is used to store medicinal materials.

   In addition, there are several bamboo flats and bamboo flat supports used for drying medicinal materials in the house, but the bamboo flats are all broken and the supports are basically collapsed.

   On a long, dark-colored table, a broken medicine jar was lying down, and a medicine pestle fell on the ground...

  The guillotine knife used to cut the medicine was rusted, and the wooden barrel in which the medicine was soaked seemed to be a rat's nest. Then go into the east room to see, there are beds, tables, and bookshelves in the east room.

  The books on the bookshelf are not paper, but mostly bamboo slips.

   You must know that paper has been widely used in this world for many years, but bamboo slips are rare.

   Cheng Ling saw that on the desk by the window there was a dry inkstone, a bald brush, a rusty carving knife, and a bundle of bamboo slips!

   She walked over immediately.

   In the process, some small animals were frightened away, which is needless to mention.

  Cheng Ling carefully opened the bamboo slip and illuminated it.

  The characters carved by the knife appear on the bamboo slips, and some places are not evenly carved, but the handwriting is dignified and elegant as a whole, which is the popular official script of the previous dynasty!

The opening sentence of    is: "I have avoided the chaos of Jin since the beginning..."

   Jin Kingdom!

  The owner of this wooden house was from the former Jin Dynasty.

  Cheng Ling had some preliminary understanding of the history of this world after reading Wang Yi's "First Interpretation of the World's General Trend".

   In fact, the history of this world has many similarities with the Huaxia where she once lived, the difference is after the Han Dynasty.

  Before the Han Dynasty, the north and the south of Shenchuan were completely unified. At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was a rebellion of the ten kings, which caused the split between the north and the south.

   Later, Yu Qing, the commander-in-chief of the frontier, founded a state in the south of Shenchuan, which was the state of Jin in the previous dynasty.

  The north has always been in a state of chaotic rule by the Wuhu tribes. It was not until the Xiao clan in Yanzhou was born and the Wei state was established that the chaos in the north gradually improved.

  The state of Jin was destroyed thirty-five years ago. After the fall of Jin, there was great chaos in the south. At that time, the state of Wei in the north had just been established, and there was no spare energy to intervene in the affairs of the south.

  In the end, after the competition of various forces, the Southern Jin Dynasty was divided into three kingdoms, which are now Qi, Shu, and Chen.

   Therefore, the owner of this wooden house should be someone from thirty-five years ago.

   Thirty-five years, it is a miracle that this wooden house has not collapsed in this deep mountain.

  Cheng Ling read the text on the bamboo slip, and felt emotional.

  The owner of the wooden house suffered from turmoil in the first half of his life and was alone in the second half of his life.

   Tired of the war, he simply escaped from the world and came to this deep mountain. He collects and produces medicines, and even grows his own medicines. He wants to refine the magic medicine that can make people soar, and get out of this exhausting real world—

  Don't laugh, think about how many masters of the Fang family in ancient China, obviously can be a serious scientist, but they have to indulge in the alchemy of immortality.

  I didn’t make the magic pill after finishing it, but I played with the chemical elements, and along the way, I also made a lot of strange techniques.

   Where does this make sense?

  The owner of the wooden house is like this. He couldn't make the magic medicine, but he found the saltpeter mine in this mountain!

   Bamboo slips record: "Burn it with fire, and the purple and green smoke will rise. The glittering light and gold are like fairy rhythm."

  Xianyun Cheng Ling, who is not Xianyun, declined to comment, but she knew that a huge wealth appeared in front of her!

   Saltpeter, what can saltpeter do?

   Making gunpowder aside, it’s too dangerous, it’s not something she can touch now.

  Cheng Ling immediately thought of: glass, matches, ice making!

  Especially glass, glass must be huge profits.

  If, if she could have a power, if the world was stable...

  Cheng Ling stood in the same place and took a light breath. She didn't pick up the bamboo slip again until the boiling pains gradually calmed down.

"Ah…"

  Cheng Ling shook her head and laughed. This time, she was not excited anymore, but just kept the location of the saltpeter mine recorded on the bamboo slip in her heart, and finally put the bamboo slip into the backpack space.

   Immediately after, Cheng Ling quickly left the wooden house. Since it has been determined that the owner of the wooden house has long since passed away, the ginseng outside is naturally taken as it is.

   Regardless of whether it is artificially grown or grown naturally, these ginsengs have grown wildly for so many years without anyone taking care of them, and it must be a good thing now.

   Cheng Ling took the engineer shovel out of the backpack space, emptied the small medicine box, took out all the contents of the small medicine box separately, and put it back into the backpack space.

   After dealing with these, she came to dig ginseng.

  Be very careful when digging ginseng, but Cheng Ling is still very fast.

   Her strength is soaring now, and she is always able to do things very well in these things that require both strength and skill.

   After a while, Cheng Ling dug out these ginsengs one by one.

In the process of   , she also caught several poisonous snakes, which were hidden beside the ginseng. When Cheng Ling didn't alert them before, the poisonous snakes were all lying quietly and hiding, until Cheng Ling came to dig up the ginseng, and then the snakes sprang up.

   Good guys, this can't wait for the food delivery to come!

   Today, we will post two updates together, this is the first update.
