King Jian'an, Mu Jisheng!

One of the most mysterious trump cards of the Mu family.

Naturally, he didn't come to accompany Xiaolian at this time because of An De's good intentions. He just didn't want to make the matter a big deal and wanted to keep things quiet.

"King Jian'an, if you say that, you are trying to offend this junior."

Qingyun still held the stem in his hand, and his alert posture did not change at all.

This is not because he is afraid that King Jian'an will suddenly take action, this is just an attitude, an attitude of drawing a clear line.

"Oh?" King Jian'an did not declare his title, but the young man in front of him could tell the truth. He was obviously a well-informed person.

According to etiquette, people usually refer to him as King Jian'an and keep his name anonymous.

It is not unusual to know that the army of King Jian'an is coming. If he knows that King Jian'an is Mu Jisheng, he must not be a common man.

King Jian'an couldn't help but look at Qingyun a few more times, "I wonder which Taoist master this young knight worships?"

"Winds, clouds, thunder and lightning know my will, and the Three Pure Ones in ancient times were my teachers. Six desires and seven emotions are all incorporated into the sword, and everyone laughs at me for becoming a martial artist."

Qingyun has seen many fake Taoist sects with "Tao bone and fairy style". In order to look more like the real thing, they like to make some mysterious and mysterious opening remarks.

Qingyun's whim was just a small test, which was equivalent to feeding King Jian'an a soft nail and ignored his question.

But in fact, he did not lie. Qingyun is neither a member of the Taoist sect nor a master in the true sense. He thinks that the ancient Sanqing is my master, which can only be regarded as a joke at best.

These words were very harsh to the ears of King Jian'an. Since the person who came here knew his identity, he still behaved stupidly in front of him and said some disrespectful words. It was obvious that there was no need to talk about it.

But the more Qingyun behaved like this, the more King Jian'an did not dare to take action.

Could it be that this bastard was placed here by the King of Wei to test my feelings?

King Jian'an thought so.

So instead of being angry, he deliberately put layers of wrinkles on his face to put on an awkward smile, "What a spirit, what a spirit! There are three pure beings in the immortal world, and emperors are respected in the world. The young hero is really extraordinary. I dare to ask you for your name.

?”

"Shang Qing Xia Yun."

"Qingyun, um, okay..." King Jian'an muttered this name and suddenly seemed to realize something.

Bang, a beard was directly cut off by his wiping hand, and he didn't realize it, but a huge wave was already rising in his heart.

"Qingyun? That's the chess piece that the military advisor missed before! I thought he would assassinate the King of Wei out of revenge for his father's death, but he ended up standing in front of the King of Wei? Yes! That's the name. He is indeed the King of Wei

people!"

Qingyun has never been a person who likes to cause trouble, but he is a very meticulous person, so he took the initiative to provoke King Jian'an today. Every little movement and micro-expression of the other party fell under his eyes.

"Sure enough, this person has heard my name. He showed confusion, hatred, fear, and a little regret towards me. Well, the Five-way Dragon Imprisonment Operation that the Mu family participated in was planned by Tianzong behind the scenes.

There must be some connection with Tianzong. I have to keep an eye on this old guy!

Wait, the puzzlement and confusion in his expression has overwhelmed everything else and is about to overflow! Why? I shouldn't arouse that much interest in him... Could it be that what he is looking at is..."

Qingyun slowly turned his head.

Sure enough, Hu Caiting and Yin Seke also poked their heads out to see the excitement.

"King Jian'an recognizes someone among them..."

Regarding this point, Qingyun was actually not surprised.

But just when he wanted to say something to test the old fox, he suddenly gave up.

"It's really reckless of us to bother Young Master Qing. You guys go about your business first. Later, I will make a room for the two female relatives. Say goodbye..."

King Jian'an came to say hello with great momentum and ran away in despair, leaving Qingyun confused.

Mu Jisheng was obviously not afraid of himself.

Could it be that... there is someone between Senior Sister Hu and Miss Yin that the Mu family is afraid of?

Seeing that the Mu family's army had all retreated, Liu Ying, Xunzhi and Qingyun looked at each other for a moment, and then they also withdrew their swords and returned to the room.

"Fifth brother, your tone of voice today is a bit strange, but did you find something fishy?"

Liu Ying knew his sworn brother very well, and he was rarely so eccentric as usual.

"The Mu family was on the side of the Tianzong during the Five-Road Prisoner of the Dragon battle. This time they brought so many masters, and the purpose is not simple."

After Qingyun mentioned something, Liu Ying seemed to have noticed something was wrong.

"Yes, they had four masters attack me just now, and the skills of each of them are not inferior to the Tiannu of Snake Killer Villa. And the aura of King Jian'an himself seems to be stronger than those four... Their juniors can't tolerate it either.

Be careful, Mu Changcheng, the phoenix-winged boring machine, is at least as good as a land slave. The hundred or so people brought by the Mu family are no less powerful than the servants of the King of Wei. However, they really dare to pray for good years.

Do you want to do it at the ceremony?"

"I don't know. I feel that Tianzong will definitely not allow the ceremony to be peaceful." Qingyun hissed lightly, and there seemed to be some worry between his brows.

Bang, bang, bang.

The knocking on the door is just right and rhythmic, reflecting the politeness of the person coming out.

Qingyun opened the door, but when he saw Mu Changcheng's arrogant and respectful attitude, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Heroes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was impulsive just now. There are three rooms in this cross-courtyard, and we have packed them all. Two of them are reserved for you, and there is another one. Later today, there will be distinguished guests.

Say hello to you in advance."

"Oh?" Qingyun glanced at the two sides, the classic layout of one door and three rooms across the courtyard.

People's hearts are like this. Although one room can make do, once you get two rooms, it's still quite annoying to have an outsider in one of the three rooms. You always have to worry about the conversation being heard through the wall.

"Who is this distinguished guest? I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask around. After all, I am going to be my neighbor for a few nights." Qingyun said with a smile.

"Understood, understood! I heard from the elders that the other room was given to the Crown Prince of Song Dynasty." Mu Changcheng was smiling all over his face. He answered all questions and his attitude was extremely good.

"The Crown Prince of Song Dynasty?" Qingyun's mind jumped out to the sick man Liu Chengwu.

The King of Song Dynasty was also the heterosexual king of Wei Dynasty, so it was understandable that he would attend the ceremony of praying for good harvest.

However, since King Song was injured in a sword fight with Qiongqi, his whereabouts have been mysterious, and no one knows where he is now.

There is nothing wrong with the Song Dynasty’s sons taking their father’s place.

Before Qingyun Baishan and his party, he had not noticed anything strange, but now he remembered what Li Jing of Chentangguan once said:

If you want to be a Heavenly Lord, you must at least have the identity of an overlord and the title of a prince.

The King of Song Dynasty was once the emperor of the Southern Dynasties.

The whereabouts of Tianzun are mysterious, and the whereabouts of the King of Song Dynasty are also elusive.

Could it be...

"Time to knock on the blackboard"

The blackboard time in this chapter is used to pay off debts, so it may be a bit complicated.

There are still a few knowledge points left to be covered in Chapter 159.

Among them, ghost-haired lead refers to needle nickel, which is shaped like a hair and can be golden, green or even mottled. There are rich ores in the Guanzhong (Shaanxi) region of Hexi (Gansu) and Shaanxi in my country. The main source of needle nickel is The component is nickel sulfide. The sulfide has active chemical properties. It is very feasible to use the reduction method to directly produce nickel.

Regarding ancient zinc production, we have briefly mentioned that in the Ming Dynasty science and technology book "Tiangong Kaiwu", there is a very detailed introduction to the preparation method of Japanese lead (zinc). This method relies on sealed distillation to reduce zinc from calamine.

, has been defined as a real hammer. Moreover, the archaeological community has also discovered a large number of zinc kilns in the Ming Dynasty, which were based on the same method. Therefore, scholars conclude that the purification of metallic zinc in China began with the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, this conclusion is somewhat arbitrary, because as early as the Five Dynasties Xuanyuan Shu's "Treasure Theory" had proposed that "Japanese lead can be used to hook gold", which was quoted in the "Compendium of Materia Medica". Some scholars once questioned the Japanese lead here and the so-called Japanese lead in the Ming Dynasty.

Not the same thing. But don't forget, "Japanese lead can turn gold" is a common sense of physics that China has mastered for more than two thousand years. Zinc can turn copper into gold. Interpret it based on the meaning, and translate Japanese lead into any other

The metal is somewhat defective.

If some people think that the author's views are too radical and arbitrary, then perhaps another example will make the result clearer:

The "Kangxi Dictionary" entry on the nugget: "Yupian", the nugget stone is like gold. (The nugget stone is wild brass) Later there is an article: "Gegu Yaolun" the nugget stone is the essence of natural copper. Nowadays, the one made from calamine is a fake nugget

Ye. Cui Fang said: One pound of copper, one pound of calamine, can be refined into a stone.

Calamine is the zinc mine chosen for zinc smelting in "Kangong Tianwu". Cui Fang, a Danshi of the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote "Waidan Materia Medica". His era was not much different from that of the Five Dynasties. He described copper and zinc mines very clearly.

The detailed method of co-refining fake gold, "Japanese lead can be used to hook gold". The copper here is already prepared copper, and co-refining with calamine means refining calamine into zinc and then mixing it with copper.

The process. The chemical changes involved in this process are zinc production.

Because this example was recorded in a dictionary and the book "Waidan Materia Medica" was lost, it did not receive the attention of metallurgical scholars and was rarely used to discuss the understanding of zinc (Japanese lead) in ancient China.

There is a similar example in the Southern Song Dynasty. Dai Tong's "Liu Shu Gu" says: Lu Lugan stone was smelted into copper and made into a phoenix.

Xuanyuan Shu, Cui Fang, and Dai Tong told us that the Chinese Dan family had long understood the physical and chemical properties of zinc. As the civilization with the longest lasting bronze culture, China's research and summary of copper alloys far surpassed other civilizations in the world.

From discovery, control, to understanding, it is a long process. Therefore, the discovery and use of zinc in China should actually be far earlier than the Five Dynasties.

Let’s verify it from the perspective of technical feasibility. The sealed distillation method to reduce zinc requires a high temperature of 900 degrees, which is far lower than the temperature required for steel smelting. As for steelmaking in indigenous kilns, the Chinese have mastered it as early as the Spring and Autumn Period.

, the earliest unearthed steel sword identified as steel is the Spring and Autumn Bronze Lattice Steel Sword.

Near Sweden, a Chinese sunken ship was once salvaged, which was full of porcelain and zinc ingots. The age of the shipwreck was around the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The zinc ingots were all cast in China, and the "Fan" (mold) characters were all inscribed in Chinese. Its purity is as high as 99%.

, crushing the zinc purification process in Europe at that time. (Special note: The author found no absolute evidence for this example. However, Wikipedia cited it with relevant report links, and Baidu Encyclopedia quoted it and adopted it into the "ancient zinc production process" entry.) It can be seen
