Nu Yalang of Tang Dynasty

After meeting Gao Xianzhi and returning to Yanqi from Qiuci, Zhou Jun began to patrol and drill with his soldiers every day.

After the first day of Tianbao's eighth year, Zhou Jun taught the training programs of the special forces in his previous life to his own soldiers.

Every day after that, weight-bearing long-distance running, obstacle cross-country, marching, strength training, crossbow training, etc., each of them was carried out according to the standards of the previous life... However, Zhou Jun was also ashamed. This set of training content

, was originally proposed by himself, but at first due to lack of physical strength, Zhou Jun could not keep up with the training pace of others.

Fei Weng couldn't stand it anymore and asked him if he had ever learned any martial arts techniques.

Zhou Jun then explained the Qi training method taught by Aunt Gongsun earlier.

While listening, Fei Weng couldn't help but shake his head, and just said, these are my mother's training methods.

Therefore, Fei Weng passed on the Taoist dragon-tiger method to Zhou Jun.

After following Fei Weng for several months and learning the Taoist Dragon and Tiger Technique, Zhou Jun suddenly felt that his body was much lighter, his ears and eyes were much clearer, and his physical fitness during the tour training was gradually able to keep up with the pace.

On this day, Fei Weng sat cross-legged on the futon and said to Zhou Jun: "Sit cross-legged, separate the yin and yang with your feet, pinch the ziwu with your hands, guard the ancestral orifice with your heart, mind, and mind, collect your Qi, subdue the dragon, and install the furnace to set up the cauldron."

The latter sat opposite and, according to Fiong's instructions, adjusted his energy and maintained the center.

Fei Weng saw this, nodded slightly, and then said: "These days, you have achieved some success in your practice, and you can take the next step."

Zhou Jun: "Next step?"

Fei Weng: "Adjusting Qi is the first step, refining is the second step, and setting up the tripod is the third step. Please listen carefully to the following formulas... Kan and Li join together and heaven and earth follow each other, dragon and tiger join together and Wu and Ji join together.

When Wu and Ji merge into one, the four images will merge into the middle palace, and the great medicine will be born."

This formula sounded familiar to Zhou Jun. Before he could ask, Fei Weng got up from the futon, took out a book from his arms, threw it in front of the former, and said: "Go back and meditate carefully.

."

Zhou Jun picked up the book, but before he had time to look through it, a guard called from outside the door: "Master's house, there is a caravan from Gumo Prefecture, parked in the courtyard, the leader is here to ask for an audience."

Zhou Jun put the book away and walked out of the side hall to the front courtyard. He saw more than a dozen large cars parked in the courtyard one after another, and many people wearing Dashi country costumes looked around.

Huayue looked excited and was chatting with a middle-aged man at the head of the motorcade. Mu Sheikh stood aside with a rare smile on his face.

Seeing Zhou Jun appear, he took three steps and two steps to draw the moon, came to the former's side, and waved to Dashi and his party, signaling them to come.

The middle-aged man who was the leader of the cannibals walked up to Zhou Jun, performed the Good Day Salute, and said in standard Mandarin of the Tang Dynasty: "I am the scribe of the Great Mosque of Fabis, and I am also a doctor.

, my name is Jabir Ibn Hayyan.”

Scribes? Physicians?

It is difficult for Zhou Jun to connect these two professions, not to mention that the middle-aged man in front of him is tall and thin, has an unattractive appearance, and is covered in dust. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as sloppy.

Seeing the confusion in Zhou Jun's eyes, Hua Yue added at the side: "Jabir is a famous scholar in Dashi. Compared with scriptures and medical skills, he is more proficient in alchemy. In the Dashi Palace,

At that time, he once taught me alchemical knowledge such as distillation, cold and hot elements, etc."

After hearing this, Zhou Jun finally understood from whom he learned the skills Hua Yue learned.

However, what Zhou Jun, who was not familiar with Arab history, did not know was that the historical Jabir ibn Hayyan was a famous chemist who was revered by the entire scientific community as the "Father of Modern Chemistry".

Jaber divided all substances into four categories: hot, cold, dry and wet, and advocated the use of distillation to separate the four elements from material entities.

To this end, he perfected the medieval distillation method and was the first scholar in the history of chemistry to use pure quantification to purify substances and prepare chemical reagents.

Specifically, Jaber was the first in human history to prepare nitric acid. In addition, he also distilled alum to obtain sulfuric acid, mixed nitric acid and hydrochloric acid to make aqua regia, and also produced organic tartaric acid. At the same time, he also

Manufacture of lead carbonate and extraction of arsenic and antimony from sulfide.

But it is a pity that due to the interruption of Arab historical inheritance, Jaber's achievements have been suppressed and hidden for a period of time in the history of Western science. The reason is of course inseparable from religious confrontation and civilizational estrangement. Jaber expressed

Zhou Jun bowed and said in salute: "The person who led these Taishi believers and scholars was originally the imam of the Great Mosque of Fabis, but he was injured by an arrow and could not survive."

Zhou Jun looked solemn and nodded slightly.

Jaber changed the topic: "The imam insisted on taking these people out of Dashi, but I originally disagreed. My original intention was to lead these people to surrender to the Abbasid family."

Zhou Jun was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Jabir: "Mu Sheikh's letter made me change my mind... The daughter of the Khorasan chief is actually still alive. In addition, the Tang Dynasty may be a better choice than the food country that is constantly in war.

"

Zhou Jun glanced at Jabir one more time.

Mu Sheikh said from the side: "Jabir used to live in Khorasan Province for a period of time. His family had conflicts with the Umayyad nobles in the province due to religious conflicts. Later, Khorasan

The provincial governor personally came forward to resolve the dispute and appease both parties."

Zhou Jun heard the word "provincial governor" and guessed that the matter had something to do with Hua Yue's family, so he turned to look at Hua Yue.

The latter nodded slightly and said: "When that incident happened, I was studying in the palace. Although I was still young, I had heard of Jabir's name. So, I asked my father to mediate and stopped the possible conflict.

.”

Jabir nodded and said: "I have no good impression of the Umayyad royal family, but I owe the governor of Khorasan a favor. To be precise, I owe a favor to his daughter."

Zhou Jun sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't expect there to be such a story.

If he had not rescued Huayue in Zhongshi, I am afraid that today's Jabir would not hesitate to seek refuge with the Abbasid family instead of coming to the Tang Dynasty.

Dashi and his group of escapees traveled a long distance and were tired and hungry. Zhou Jun ordered his servants to prepare accommodation and food, settle them properly, and then found Mu Sheikh to inquire about the relevant details.

After Mu Sheikh sat down, Zhou Jun asked: "Is there anything wrong with this rescue?"

Mushaykh: "The whole process was a near miss. The Abbasid family focused their search on the southern coast and the western border, while the Khorasan Province in the east was left empty."

Zhou Jun nodded.

Mu Sheikh then said to Zhou Jun: "Jabir is a great scholar. If possible, we should do everything possible to keep him."

Hearing these words from Mu Sheikh, coupled with Hua Yue's previous introduction, Zhou Jun couldn't help but pay more attention to Jabir.

After thinking about it, Zhou Jun said to Mu Sheikh: "From your tone, it seems that Jaber wants to leave?"

Mu Sheikh: "The family that Jaber belongs to has always been close to the Abbasid family. If it were not for the moon painting this time, Jaber would probably stay in Dashi. At the moment, although he is under the influence of the imam of the Grand Mosque

On his deathbed, he brought the fugitive from Dashi to the Tang Dynasty, but his family members are still in the country of Dashi, so I am worried that he intends to leave."

After thinking about it, Zhou Jun asked: "If Jaber is really a talented person, what can I do to keep him?"

Mu Sheikh: "Jabir is obsessed with academics. If he can do what he likes, I believe he will stay in the Tang Dynasty."

Zhou Jun nodded slowly after hearing this.

After a while, Zhou Jun remembered something again and asked Mu Xieh: "How are Hua Yue's family doing now?"

Mu Sheikh: "During the rebellion launched by the Abbasid family, the residence of the provincial governor of Khorasan was breached and most of his family members were massacred. The provincial governor was temporarily out of town to attend a tribal meeting, so

He was lucky enough to escape. I heard that he, along with some of his own soldiers, had retreated to the vicinity of the capital of Dashi following Umayyad's army."

Zhou Jun: "What is the situation in Dashi's country?"

Mu Sheikh: "The balance of victory is tilting towards the Abbasid and Ali families, and the Umayyad royal family's army is retreating steadily."
