A night of silence.
The next day.
When the morning sun shines on the world again.
Xu Yi slowly walked from Wenwen Township in the harem to Chengyun Hall in the front dynasty.
As soon as he stepped into the study room in the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
Yang Xian'an came slowly from outside Chengyun Hall.
After dozens of breaths.
'Dongdongdong. ,
Yang Xian'an stood outside the side hall study and gently knocked on the door of the side hall study.
"Sixth Master."
After three knocks on the door, Yang Xian'an slowly took half a step back, bent down slightly, and then said respectfully.
"Enter."
In the study room of the side hall.
Xu Yi slowly sat down on the Taishi chair and responded softly.
His voice just fell.
There was a creaking sound from the door of the study room in the side hall.
"I pay my respects to Master Six."
Yang Xian'an gently pushed the door open from outside the study room in the side hall and entered. He then gently closed the study door, stepped forward a few steps and then bowed his hands in a salute.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, then slowly asked: "How did you handle yesterday's matter?"
"Go back to Master Six." Yang Xian'an bowed his hands and said, "The arrangements for purchasing the house and bringing the Wang family to Yan have been made."
"Most of the materials Liu Ye needs have been prepared, and the remaining materials should be delivered to the palace before noon."
"Okay." Xu Yi nodded slightly, then slowly stood up from his desk and said, "Come with me first."
"Yes." Yang Xian'an bowed slightly and bowed his hands.
The words are over.
After Xu Yi slowly walked out of the study room, he opened the door of the side hall study and walked toward an unused side hall not far from the study.
After more than a hundred breaths.
Xu Yi gently pushed open the door of the side hall that had been idle for a long time.
As the door of the side hall was gently pushed open, the dusty scene he imagined did not appear.
As far as the eye can see, there is nothing wrong with the side hall that has been idle for a long time except that it is empty.
Obviously, although it has been idle for a long time, servants are still cleaning it from time to time during the idle period.
Xu Yi slowly walked into the empty side hall.
He slowly looked around the side hall for a moment.
Then he looked at Yang Xian'an who followed him into the side hall.
"Here is a charcoal stove. The charcoal stove is one foot three inches wide and two feet six inches high."
Xu Yi slowly stretched out his hand, placed a little space in a corner of the side hall, and then gave instructions.
"Yes." Yang Xian'an silently memorized the position and the size specified by Xu Yi, then slowly raised his hands in salute.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, then reached out and lifted a little space from the east window sill and west window sill of the side hall.
"A blast furnace will be built here. The blast furnace will be two feet three inches wide and three feet two inches high."
"A new blast furnace is built here. The blast furnace is two feet six inches wide and three feet three inches high."
Xu Yi ordered softly from the east and west windowsills.
"yes."
After Yang Xian'an silently remembered it, he bowed his hands again and saluted.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then walked slowly towards the outside of the idle side hall.
"Let's start preparations immediately."
"When the third furnace is completed, all the required materials will be available."
"You can find me in the study room of the side hall."
Xu Yi slowly spoke and gave instructions as he walked.
"yes."
Yang Xian'an bent down slightly and bowed again.
...
...
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
Xu Yi sat on the Taishi chair.
He looked at the two already sealed letters on the bookcase with extremely calm eyes. ….
I do not know how long it has been.
Xu Yi slowly made a strange shape with his hands.
Then he brought his hands to his mouth.
After counting the interest.
A whistle with a certain special pattern slowly came out of Xu Yi's mouth.
After just over ten breaths.
The whistle with a certain special pattern slowly dissipated in the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
After several dozen breaths passed.
There were slight knocks outside the closed door of the study room in the side hall.
"Enter."
In the study room of the side hall.
Xu Yi looked up at the closed study door and responded calmly.
Accompanied by a creak, there was a light sound.
The closed study door was gently pushed open by someone from outside.
"I ask my heart to pay homage to the master."
Leader Wenxin, dressed in the clothes of a servant of Prince Yan's Palace, slowly walked in from outside the study.
After the study door was closed again, Chief Wenxin took two steps forward and bowed his hands.
"Without courtesy." Xu Yi nodded slightly, then looked at the leader of Wenxin and asked, "Where is Shi Tiangan now?"
"Return to the master." The leader of Wenxin cupped his hands and replied: "After Tiangan Wu left the palace, he went to join Yi, Ding, Geng and Xin Tiangan."
The words are over.
The leader of Wenxin paused for a moment, and then continued: "It was a calm night last night. At dawn, Tianganyi, Tianganding, Tiangangeng, and Tianganxin left the inn one after another."
"And Tian Qianwu is still staying at the inn."
"After that, I will report it according to the questioner who stayed at the city gate."
"That day Gan Yi left from the east city gate and his whereabouts are unknown."
"Tian Ganding came out of the south city gate and his whereabouts are unknown."
"Tian Gangeng left from the west city gate and his whereabouts are unknown."
"Tian Ganxin left the north city gate and his whereabouts are unknown."
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then stopped going anywhere.
Where he went and what he did during the ten days was really not important to Xu Yi.
Therefore, it only needs to understand one side.
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then reached out and picked up the two already sealed envelopes from the bookcase.
He solemnly handed one of the letters, which was written with the words "Zou Xi" and stamped by King Yan Dabao, to the leader of Wenxin.
Then he ordered: "Later, I will order someone to hand this letter over to the post station and order it to be sent to Zongzheng Temple in the capital as soon as possible."
After hearing the words, the leader of Wenxin took two steps quickly, stepped forward to take the letter, then bowed his hands and said, "Yes!"
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then solemnly handed the remaining letter to Chief Wenxin.
After the leader of Wenxin received the letter.
Xu Yi's face straightened, and then he said in a deep voice: "This letter follows the old rules."
When the leader of Wenxin heard this, his face couldn't help but straighten up, and then he solemnly saluted and said, "Follow the order!"
As for where this letter was sent, and who would escort it.
There is no need for too many words between the two, everything is in tacit understanding.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then ordered in a deep voice again: "From half past noon, all inquiries in the palace will be posted next to Chengyun Hall."
"Anyone who comes within a hundred steps of Chengyun Hall without a single order will be captured on the spot."
"If they dare to resist, you can decide whether to maim or kill them directly based on the actual situation."
The words are over.
Leader Qin Xin's expression couldn't help but become more serious.
It needs to be known that in addition to the ten Wenxins who are performing secret missions outside and the five Wenxins who are about to go to Donglai County to deliver letters. ….
The rest of the questions are all in the palace at this time.
His disguised identity may be that of a cook at a dian restaurant.
Or a servant who cleans up fallen leaves on weekdays.
Or the most ordinary official in the official office.
Or one of the young and strong guards who patrol the palace at night to ensure peace.
Or a sleepy old man who often couldn't wake up while feeding horses in the palace's garage.
Or he could disguise himself as a personal servant like the leader Wen Xin, guarding Xu Yi Zhouquan at all times in the most inconspicuous place.
But now, Xu Yi wants to mobilize all the people in the palace at once.
Ask the leader
Although I don’t know what exactly happened.
But he knew in his heart that no matter what happened next, it must be very important to Xu Yi.
All he needs to do is strictly implement Xu Yicai's order.
The leader of Wenxin raised his hands and saluted with a solemn expression: "Wenxin obeys the order!"
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then ordered: "Go."
After hearing this, the leader of Wenxin bowed his hands again and said, "Obey the order!"
After the figure of leader Wen Xin completely disappeared from the side hall study.
Xu Yi slowly moved his back closer to the back of the Grand Master's chair.
The hands are naturally crossed behind the head, and the legs are placed flat on the bookcase.
After your body and mind are completely relaxed.
Xu Yi slowly closed his eyes and recalled over and over again in his mind all the information he had read about artificially creating relics.
After combining a lot of written information, picture information in the form of documentary films, and an invention patent application for burning relics that I had seen when I was bored.
Xu Yi finally determined all the steps and precautions required for artificially manufacturing relics.
After everything is ready.
Relying on his strong memory, Xu Yi gradually rehearsed all the steps of artificially refining the relics in his mind.
Time passed quickly after Xu Yi closed his eyes and practiced.
...
...
Noon.
Chengyun Hall is a bit lively due to the construction of a blast furnace in the side hall.
From the moment the blast furnace was completely built, the peace of the past gradually returned.
Yang Xianan watched as the last craftsman completely disappeared behind the gate of Chengyun Hall.
He lightly flicked the dust off his body, and then walked towards the side hall study.
'Dongdongdong. ,
"Sixth Master."
Tens of breaths later.
Yang Xian'an stopped in front of the study door of the side hall and gently knocked on the study door.
In the study room of the side hall.
Xu Yi, who still closed his eyes tightly and tirelessly repeated the refining process in his mind, opened his eyes quietly the moment there was a knock on the door.
"Enter."
Xu Yi slowly lowered his legs on the bookcase, then slowly sat up straight and said calmly.
"yes."
Yang Xian'an responded and then gently opened the study door.
Two slight creaking sounds reached Xu Yi's ears one after another.
"Master Liu, all three furnaces have been built."
"And all the required materials have been prepared."
Yang Xian'an bent down slightly, cupped his hands and saluted.
Hearing this, Xu Yi nodded slightly and said, "Immediately transport all the materials to the Third Furnace Side Hall."
"In a quarter of an hour, I will first send an order to all the officials and servants in front of the palace. Those who have not received a warrant from me in the past few days are not allowed to enter the Chengyun Gate."…
The words are over.
Xu Yi took out two tokens as big as a child's palm from the side of the book.
Throw it gently towards Yang Xian'an.
"You and Wensu each have one of these two tokens."
Xu Yi looked at Yang Xian'an, who was two steps away, and spoke.
"yes."
Yang Xian'an caught the token thrown by Xu Yi, then held it in his hand and saluted.
After Yang Xianan's figure completely disappeared from the side hall study.
Xu Yi put his arms on the bookcase and slowly closed his eyes again.
Taking advantage of the quarter of an hour of free time, he quickly completed the subsequent refining steps in his mind that were interrupted by the knock on the door.
Time flies by in meditation.
When Xu Yi completed the refining steps in his mind for an unknown number of times.
More than a quarter of an hour has passed.
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
Xu Yi slowly opened his closed eyes.
Then he slowly stood up from the Grand Master's chair and faced
Go to the study door.
Tens of breaths later.
Xu Yi gently pushed open the closed door of the Sanlu side hall.
As the door of the Sanlu side hall slowly opened.
I saw that the originally empty Sanlu side hall was filled with all kinds of exquisite or rough things.
Xu Yi stepped through the door of the third furnace side hall and slowly walked towards the largest blast furnace located on the west window sill.
After checking it carefully, he looked at the remaining two blast furnaces of different sizes one by one.
After the inspection is correct.
Xu Yi slowly turned around and walked towards the dense materials.
Among the materials, there were more than ten silver ingots of different sizes.
The rest are like various pieces of cast iron.
Such as tinware of different shapes, either exquisite or rough.
If used for different purposes, they may be weapons or bronze vessels used as sacrificial vessels.
The number of each of these materials is more than ten.
In addition, there are countless combustible materials such as charcoal and coal, as well as quartz sand required for making glass.
If there is anything to say in the entire Sanlu side hall, it is the least.
I'm afraid it must be the wine jar whose contents are still unknown.
After Xu Yi checked the required materials one by one, he gently closed the doors of the three furnace side halls.
Then slowly walked to the window sill.
After all the window sills of the third furnace side hall are opened.
Xu Yi took out the fire folding piece from his sleeve and immediately walked towards the smallest stove in the three-furnace side hall.
After blowing on the fire several times, Xu Yi slowly lit the fire starter, and then added the charcoal one by one.
Wait for the stove to burn completely.
Xu Yi walked slowly to the material storage area.
He slowly opened the wine jar that contained unknown contents.
Then he grabbed a handful of gray stuff from the wine jar and put it into a wooden basin on the side.
The grayish-white thing was none other than something else. It was the ashes formed by calcining the corpse of an ape.
After the ape's ashes are placed in the wooden basin.
Xu Yi gently grabbed half a handful of quartz sand that had been ground into powder from the materials on the side.
After slowly putting it into the wooden basin.
Xu Yi slowly stirred the wooden basin with his palm.
After the ape ashes and quartz sand powder are thoroughly mixed evenly.
Xu Yi lifted the teapot on the side and slowly poured a little water into the wooden basin.
Then there was another slow stirring.
After a while.
Xu Yi slowly took out the evenly mixed material from the wooden basin, then placed it into the prepared mold and compressed it into a round shape.
When everything was ready, the stove was fully burning.
Xu Yi grabbed two exquisitely shaped tin utensils, and then walked to the stove with the Buddha's bone relics in his hands.
Place it in an iron mold above the stove and dry it.
As for the two exquisitely shaped tin utensils, their main purpose is to measure temperature.
According to later generations, there are steps for artificially making relics.
The first step is to mix one part of ashes and half of quartz sand powder evenly, then add a little water to mix it into the desired shape.
Finally, place it next to the stove for drying.
The temperature in the first step needs to be controlled between one hundred and two hundred and fifty degrees Celsius.
Because it is impossible to accurately measure the temperature.
Therefore, Xu Yi had to use tin utensils instead.
Nothing else.
The melting point of tin is 232 degrees Celsius.
An hour later.
Xu Yi walked slowly to the materials and took out the slurry made by mixing quartz sand powder and water in a ratio of one to three. ,
Then the Buddha bone relic was slowly taken out and wrapped in pulp.
After processing.
Xu Yi put it next to the stove again.
Continue drying for an hour

Ice tea is always there
