Chapter 25: The Rescue
Equivalent exchange .... Song Qing's mind felt like a bolt of lightning struck through it, and it was as if his soul had been struck by something.
This sense of impact was like heirloom poetry to a reader.
Equivalent exchange was the unchanging principle of alchemy!
"Yes, that's right, it's like this ...." Song Qing whispered to himself.
Whenever he succeeded in refining something, accordingly, the raw materials would disappear or transform into something else.
This phenomenon had always existed, but few people would notice it. Or noticed it, but didn't think too much about it, didn't think about it so deeply.
"Back then, when our teacher taught us alchemy, he once said that the essence of alchemy is not "change", but conversion!"
"Equivalent exchange, so that's what it means ...."
The outline-like sentence made this fanatic lover of alchemy unable to hold back his wariness.
After calming his excitement, Song Qing began to think about the meaning of the words "Edward Elric".
Was it a name?
There was no such thing as a strange name.
Is it a code word, or is it some kind of code word in the field of alchemy?
I couldn't figure it out, and my heart itched for a moment.
Song Qing took a deep breath, stabilized herself, and couldn't wait to turn to the next page, expertly and patiently reading the distorted and ugly font.
The first sentence of the opening page was: step into the world of alchemy!
This was teaching people to step into the realm of alchemy?
How arrogant! Song Qing said in her heart.
Alchemy has never been taught by word of mouth and passed on by word of mouth, those with great talent can get started in a year and a half, those with dull talent will accomplish nothing for thirty to fifty years.
To this day, there is no set of serious textbooks in the SZT.
However, the sentence in the opening preface gave Song Qing enough patience.
"Section 1: Changes and Properties of Matter, There are many examples in nature that are invisible to the naked eye, which constitute matter, and there are many kinds of interactions between substances, as well as changes that are constantly taking place ...."
"I categorize such changes as: chemical and physical changes ...."
Song Qing looked at it and fell into deep thought.
What was chemistry.
What are atoms.
What am I looking at.
Why is it that I recognize every word, but when they are combined, I can't read them?
The classics of the sages still have set notes, why is it that when it comes to you, there is nothing?
However, Song Qing was not left with nothing, he keenly perceived that this was a heavenly book that was unrivaled in the world.
It elaborated on the original face of the world, pointing out the most essential structure of all things in heaven and earth.
Song Qing's body trembled slightly, and for a moment, he wanted to tear this book apart, this was a mystery that only gods could know, and mortals shouldn't pry into it.
But deep inside, there was a force that supported him, that was the most primitive human desire to know.
The alchemy room was silent.
The white-robed men looked at each other, not daring to make a sound to disturb them, deeply worried about Senior Brother Song Qing's unpredictable face.
"Senior brother is thinking about some unacceptable alchemy again, isn't he."
"Yeah, last year he tried to refine the flesh and blood of a cat into a tree so that it could grow back even if its head was cut off, but he was confined for a month by Mr. Supervisor Zheng."
Song Qing was immersed in his own world, fearful and excited at the same time, looking at it, his eyes snapped open as he saw a detailed explanation of alchemy on how to refine tax silver.
Step 1: The first choice is to filter the brine and purify the sodium chloride (refined salt).
Step 2: Steam the brine dry, precipitate the crystals, and melt them at eight hundred degrees Celsius.
Step 3: Note! This step was the key to refining tax silver, and success or failure depended on it.
Song Qing's two sides let out a brilliant light, finally, finally he was going to solve the problem that had been troubling him and his brothers for a long time.
This was truly a divine book.
Song Qing realized that he had already reached the end of the page, he dipped his saliva in his fingertips and couldn't wait to turn to the next page.
A blank page!
Song Qing: "????"
There's no more?
There's nothing after that?
What exactly is the third step, why is there no record of it, who wrote this book, this kind of broken chapter writing is to be killed by a thousand cuts.
Song Qing a mouthful of old blood sprayed out.
Song Qing opened his mouth, forgot something, and said in a deep voice: "Who sent this book?"
"Didn't pay attention."
"Didn't listen."
"Forgot."
The replies of the senior brothers were unusually truthful.
Song Qing immediately went downstairs and found the disciple who had previously received Sheriff Wang and asked after the story in detail.
It was an exchange .... After analyzing it, Song Qing came to this conclusion.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you." The white-clothed senior disciples chased after him down the stairs.
"What's wrong with this book?"
Song Qing's face was unrivaled in its seriousness as he swept over the faces of the crowd, "Senior brothers, listen to me. This is a, a chance for the Sitian Supervisor to rise by leaps and bounds. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Alchemy may usher in unprecedented splendor."
.....
Sheep Pavilion.
Two carriages slowly drove down the official road, each seated with the two great scholars who had just finished mouthing fenghuang.
Xu New Year and a group of fellow students rode on horses and crashed behind the carriages.
"I shouldn't have told the truth just now." Xu Xinxin was somewhat remorseful.
The two great scholars were bickering and spitting, and seeing that they were about to fight, Xu Xinxin said bluntly: in fact, Teacher and Mr. Mubai were just trying to get a heirloom poem, right?
The scene used to be awkward.
Although it stopped the two great scholars from strangling each other, Xu Xinxin also realized that it was wrong to tell the truth.
"Mother is right, I've never been able to speak, I need to change!" Xu Xinxin engaged in the nth introspection in his life.
His hand reached out to his bosom and touched the quick warm jade pendant, Xu Xinxin was glad to look far away, and just as he was happy, a galloping figure appeared in his line of sight.
In a moment, the silhouette of that figure came into view, it was his father, Xu Pingzhi.
Xu New Year froze, clipped his horse's belly and swept past the carriage to meet him.
"Father, why have you come ...." After saying that, Xu Xinxin's heart sank, his father's face let him sense that things were bad, even though he knew nothing about it.
Xu Pingzhi informed Xu New Year of the matter as quickly as possible.
Squire Zhou s son molested his sister in the street ..... Almost stepped on a horse and killed Suzaku .... Big brother was escorted to the Ministry of Justice ..... Xu New Year's brain was so hot that his blood poured out.
"Nian'er, your big brother's life and death depends on you."
"Father, take it easy." Xu New Year's many thoughts flashed by, quickly had an idea, turned his horse, forced the carriage to a halt, and said in a loud voice: "Teacher, Mr. Mubai, resignation has something to request."
The curtain lifted, Zhang Shen and Li Mubai poked their heads out, "What is it?"
"My brother is in trouble, I ask teacher and Mr. Mubai to help." Xu New Year repeated what his father had told him.
Zhang Shen stared at him and said in a deep voice, "Is that the talented man who wrote "No one knows a friend in front of you, and who in the world doesn't know you"?"
His voice was serious and earnest, as if this was important.
"Exactly!" Xu New Year nodded his head.
Zhang Shen was just about to speak, when Li Mubai in the carriage at the side spoke up to cut him off, "Resignation, leave your elder brother's matter to me, you and your teacher go back to the academy first."
"Hmph!" Zhang Shen snorted coldly, "Idle people, don't be nosy. I'll handle my student's matter."
Xu Pingzhi was overjoyed, not expecting his son's face to be so big.
"Teacher, Mr. Mubai, my brother has been taken to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, please go quickly, lest things change." Xu New Year urgently said.
Don't fight at this time.
PS: First, the last chapter of the picking star building is written wrong, is the stargazing building, has been changed.
Secondly, the chapter of Mianyang Pavilion, that Farewell to Dong Da is a seven-character stanza with only two couplets. Seven-character stanzas are a kind of seven-column stanzas, but seven-column stanzas are four couplets. The first one will not be changed, but here is a patch.
Thirdly, I would like to thank the big brother "Shi Xiu" for his alliance reward.
