Chapter 30: Chemistry lessons
The last name of the week looked just a not much brain dude ah, pretend so like?
May not be loaded, dude does not mean no brain, he is very good use of the means of the dude, picking fights, use of relationships, flexing .... to try and take me away in one set.
And, the aftermath of doing so is very small. Although the Beijing inspection is approaching, but the whole death of an insignificant Xu official; county magistrate constable, it is difficult not to shake the minister of the Ministry of the household, the hall is the third grade?
Just surnamed Zhou did not expect, I not only and the Secretary for Heavenly Supervision on the relationship, and even let the cloud deer academy of the great Confucian personal appearance ...... Thinking about this, Xu Qi'an had the thrilling feeling of walking a tightrope.
"From the day I solved the tax and silver case, I had already offended the Minister of the Household and was passively involved.
Thanks to that, I was still thinking of staying away from the imperial power and living a boring and simple life as a rich man with many concubines.
If it is not that Erlang happens to be sending poems to the elders of the Academy, if it is not that I suddenly wrote a bit of chemical knowledge from memory on a whim the other day .... I might have cooled off.
Didn't even understand the real reason why I got myself killed, just thought I had messed with the second generation of dilettantes."
One coincidence after another stacked up to get me through this crisis .... It was luck! Xu Qi'an drew in a breath of cool air, and suddenly his heart moved, "Miss Caiwei, you know how to look for Qi?"
"Uh-huh." Chu Caiwei swallowed the food in her mouth, "Eighth grade warlocks are called Qi Lookers. Qi Looking is the most basic ability of our Warlocks. All the subsequent divinities are built on the foundation of Qi Looking."
She looked chatty and excited as she talked about her cultivation system, chirping, "But do you know why the ninth rank of a Warlock is not a Qi Looker but a Healer?"
Xu Qi'an shook his head and pursued the question as if he were a comic, "It's not as if all of you warlocks have a heart for saving lives and helping people."
Chu Caiwei straightened her small waist, put on a serious demeanor, seemingly enjoying the feeling of being a teacher, and said:
"Everything in the world has qi, which is the most human, life eight suffering, seven emotions and six desires are qi. As a healer saves lives and helps the injured, he will inevitably be tainted by old age, sickness, and death, and over time, he will be born with a pair of clear pupils that can see through qi."
I like this kind of girl who knows everything ..... Xu Qi'an said, "Then can you look at my qi?"
Chu Caiwei wiped her small mouth with a handkerchief and gazed at him, her dark eyes bursting with clear qi, occupying her pupils a little.
In the gaze of the clear light-drenched eyes, Xu Qi'an's spiritual sense was touched, like a thorn in his back, very uncomfortable.
In a moment, the clear light in Chu Caiwei's eyes faded, her face as normal: "The qi is pale red mixed with black qi."
"What does it mean?"
"The red color, represents that you are eating official food. However, the pale color means that you are a bottom-feeder Suxian. The black aura, on the other hand, is a symbol of bad luck, something I think you know all too well."
Xu Qi'an frowned and tried, "Are there no other colors? For example, the color that symbolizes the Son of Heaven's Destiny."
"It's fine for you to say this in front of me, if someone with an axe to grind hears it, it will be a crime of great disrespect. Other than the Emperor, no one dares to call themselves the Son of Heaven's Mandate." Chu Caiwei was taken aback, so much for great disrespect, where did this person get the nerve to think that he was the son of the Mandate of Heaven?
Giant Dragon Giant Dragon you wipe your eyes and properly look again ah!
She can't see it, maybe it's a segmentation problem, or my Ou Huang physique has nothing to do with qi .... Xu Qi'an was calm on the surface, but his thoughts rose and fell in his heart.
Slap!
Chu Caiwei opened Xu Qi'an's hand with food with another slap, puffing out her cheeks to express her unhappiness, "You wait for me to get full, I'll give you food when I'm full."
Xu Qi'an glanced at the sumptuous food that had been half finished off, secretly speculating on the extent to which her current stomach was several months pregnant.
"By the way, what is the situation of the Minister of the Household now?" Xu Qi'an sat upright, not looking at the food.
"The Minister of the Household Department impeached Minister Zhou the other day, and the folders were suppressed by His Majesty." Chu Caiwei said, after a pause, she added:
"Those two committed suicide in fear of their crimes."
So it was no evidence? But these days, the emperor really wants to screw anyone, in fact, do not need evidence, everyone free heart evidence .... It is also possible that it involves when the party quarrel .... Or the emperor has other ideas ..... Uh, I do not understand the matter of the court, after all, I have not been in contact with, have to look for an official old man to probe the wind ....
So Xu Qi'an poked around and probed, but Chu Caiwei was not interested in the affairs of the court and did not give valuable information.
"Oops you're so annoying, we don't ask about the affairs of the courtroom in our Sitian Supervisor." When she was asked sharply, she raised her willow eyebrows and looked unhappy.
I seem to have struck her pride as a teacher .... Xu Qi'an sensibly stopped asking more questions.
.........
"How much silver for this table?" Xu Qi'an ate without joy.
Chu Caiwei, who was full of wine and rice, boarded her fingers and counted half a day, and then there was no then.
"Hmm?" Xu Qi'an looked up.
"I gave the shopkeeper four taels of silver, and got back to me one tael and three coins and 60 coins." Chu Caiwei said bitterly, "Then how much did I actually spend?"
The frowning look was adorable, reminding Xu Qi'an of the look of a seven-year-old little girl doing math problems.
"...." Xu Qi'an mused and sulked, "I don't know."
One tael of silver was equal to eight coins, and one coin was equal to one hundred wen. Because it wasn't a 10:1 ratio, it greatly increased the difficulty of the calculation.
Looking at her, she probably only knew how to read, but hadn't learned arithmetic.
So Xu Qi'an didn't try to be this heroic.
Once Chu Caiwei heard this, her eyebrows arched, feeling that Xu Qi'an was a kindred spirit.
"Then how did you calculate so well when you solved the case."
"I thought about it for a long time."
"Oh." Chu Caiwei stared at him, "You don't seem to be happy with the food?"
"No, the flavor is just general."
"Nonsense, this is Drunken Heart Residence is the best restaurant in that part of South City."
"I've eaten better."
Chu Caiwei's eyes brushed up.
Xu Qi'an continued, "When you're free to come to my home, I'll make delicious food for you."
.....
Alchemy room.
A group of white clothes surrounded in front of the experimental apparatus, staring at Song Qing as she operated.
The porcelain cup as thin as an eggshell was set up on a fire candle and sizzled, steam curled up, the water in the porcelain cup evaporated and precipitated into crystals.
Song Qing flicked his fingers, a cluster of brightly colored flames wrapped around the crystals, slowly melting.
"If I had this skill in my past life, snapping my fingers and lighting smoke, it's definitely a great tool for picking up girls ah ...." Xu Qi'an was a little envious of the fancy Warlock.
As the sodium chloride crystals melted, Song Qing revealed a look of gravity, having been stuck in the next link countless times in the past:
Lightning Strike!
Song Qing subconsciously looked at Xu Qi'an beside him.
Including the wide-eyed cute sister Chu Caiwei, the other white clothes had cast their gazes towards Daolang Xu.
Xu Dalang nodded expressionlessly.
Surprisingly, he did not make a sound to guide .... This means that all my steps so far have been fine .... Song Qing's heart was greatly settled, and he snapped his fingers.
Slightly bright arcs of electricity suddenly traced through the air, continuously infusing the porcelain cup.
"Hold your breath."
Suddenly, the crowd heard Xu Qi'an's voice, and without hesitation, they immediately held their breath.
In fact, even if you directly inhale the toxic gas, you non-humans will be fine .... Xu Qi'an, out of the inertia of his thinking, told everyone to just hold their breath.
In the next moment, a scene that shocked the white clothes of the SITC occurred.
Irregular silver-white lumps were formed in the porcelain cup, which were generally the same as silver, and the edges of the lumps were sticky with fine salt that had not been completely transformed.
"Success, success ...."
"Senior Brother Song Qing, how did you do it?"
The white clothes were shocked, how could they not succeed before, this time they even refined fake silver in one go.
Unsurprisingly ah, that day Caiwei girl could refine fake silver and succeeded in one go, it wasn't a stroke of luck .... No, it was just a stroke of bad luck, because there was me around, involving me ..... Xu Qi'an watched in silence, verifying the speculation in his heart.
Song Qing looked at the fake silver, and then looked at the excited senior brothers, his face slightly confused.
I haven t changed much ah .... It was all like this before ..... Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Xu Qi'an and found that this little constable was not the least bit surprised, his eyes were dark, and he seemed to have expected it.
Song Qing's heart moved, "Xu Ningyan, you know the reason?"
Chu Caiwei, who was thinking, immediately looked at Xu Qi'an.
The other white-robed ones turned their heads.
Xu Qi'an stood with his hands behind his back and smiled, "This question shouldn't be asked of me, a mature alchemist should learn to think independently about issues."
"I think you should be able to realize where the crux of the problem lies."
