Chapter 461: Ancient Pills
Everyone turned their heads and saw that Ma had already walked away. Hu Yang and his party, because of their age, are too fraudulent, and almost no stall owners think that these young people are powerful, all of them are regarded as water fish, and they are extremely enthusiastic.
"Why? Young people, you don't even look down on you, your vision is a little high! An old stall owner who talked eloquently greeted Hu Yang and others and said.
As he spoke, he took out a half-meter-high stove from a large box behind him, and Hua Tsai and the others were dumbfounded.
"Hehe! How? Let me tell you, this is definitely a good treasure for the past few years, and I finally found it. The stall owners were pleased with the young people's response.
Qi Hongye asked, "What is this for?"
"Don't you know, right? My old man will secretly tell you, the ancient alchemy furnace, you know, right?" the stall owner seemed to be very sure.
This was beyond Hu Yang's expectations, but he didn't expect this boss to know that it was an alchemy furnace.
"How do you know this is an alchemy furnace?" Andy couldn't help but ask.
The old stall owner smiled and took out a box the size of a stationery box: "You see, this is what I got at the same time, and it is with this stove." ”
Qi Hongye took it, opened the box, and a smell emanated from the box.
Everyone saw that there were beads lying inside, and they couldn't help but think of ancient pills.
This thing was not uncommon in ancient times, after all, the emperors of every dynasty and generation seemed to be keen on immortality, so that nobles, officials and other high-level people also followed the trend, and taking pills became a trend.
Speaking of the production of pills, I have to say that Taoism flourished. As early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taoism has begun to multiply, because the people of this religion pay special attention to the pursuit of immortality, and believe that this purpose can be achieved by refining pills, with the continuous penetration of Taoist thought, the idea of refining medicine can live forever has also begun to enter the concept of the common people.
By the time of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, alchemy techniques could be further developed, and some more famous alchemists appeared at that time.
It is worth mentioning that before the arrival of the Tang Dynasty, in the field of medicine refining, there were indeed some products with certain health effects, and they were also favored by some royal relatives and nobles at that time. However, after the Tang Dynasty, due to his addiction to alchemy, his belief in the idea of immortality, and the promotion of feudal emperors, the art of alchemy went to a crooked path.
"See, this is the ancient elixir. Of course, even if these pills have not expired, no one dares to use them, and they are considered to be abolished. The old stall owner confessed.
In fact, Hu Yang and the others were not the first people to look at his Dan furnace. Before this, someone had specially appraised it, but the price was very low, and the old stall owner was unwilling, feeling that the treasures he had worked hard to find were belittled, so he kept it until now.
The audience in the live broadcast room also looked at each other, and actually saw the legendary elixir?
"Brothers who want to cultivate immortals, hurry up and hey! ”
"God is a fucking cultivator, I'm afraid he doesn't want to laugh at me. ”
"You won't die faster, right? I heard that in ancient alchemy, sulfur, Zhu Dan, heavy metals, etc. were added. Ancient emperors, which one can live long with drugs?"
"Brother, you may not know, there is really an emperor who lives a long time with drugs, that is Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, who is also a drug addict, but people live to be sixty years old. You must know that in ancient times, sixty years old was considered a long life, and he was an emperor for more than forty years. ”
"Ahem! If he hadn't taken drugs, he might have lived to be eighty years old. ”
"Indeed, Emperor Jiajing and his grandson are the same, both of them are lazy politicians, and the last dynasty is like fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, and there is no pressure at all. Such an easy life, as long as you don't die by yourself, can generally live for a long time. ”
As a normal emperor, the daily workload is very large, just the early dynasty is more tired than most of the current office workers, and it is not uncommon for emperors to die of exhaustion in history, and the Later Zhou Emperor Chai Rong, Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youjiao, and Yongzheng Emperor are all very famous for their diligence, which is also the reason for their short life.
However, Emperor Jiajing and his grandson Emperor Wanli reigned for a long time, and at the same time, both of them were also very lazy and did not go to court for several months, and this unbelievable and almost impossible thing happened. This was made possible by the well-established cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Jiajing delegated power to the cabinet, knew people and made good use of them, and grasped the final decision-making power, and the art of balancing with one hand flew up, and he didn't need to worry about the operation of the empire at all, he only needed to grasp the overall situation and happily cultivate in the later dynasty and live his own beautiful life.
"Putting aside the harmful things like pills, ancient alchemy still made contributions, and glass, gunpowder, etc. are all by-products of alchemy. ”
"Therefore, Taoist priests are much more pragmatic than monks. Although the current Taoist priests are also abducted and deceived a lot, and many of them are charlatans, but the real Taoist priests, in the prosperous world, hide in the deep mountains to cultivate immortals and refine medicines, so as not to cause trouble for the country, and go down the mountain in troubled times, it is better than monks to close the mountain gate in troubled times and avoid making money in prosperous times. ”
"+1 for Sympathy"
......
Seeing that Qi Hongye was a little moved, Hu Yang also spoke: "Forget the Dan furnace! This thing is too big, and it doesn't look good to move back." It's these pills, it's a bit interesting. ”
Belch?
Who else dares to ask for these elixirs left over from ancient times?
Although the stall owner was a little disappointed, the Dan furnace was not taken seriously, but if the pill could be sold, it would be a business! However, he had to explain in advance: "Young man, it's okay for you to ask for the pill, but don't eat it, I am not responsible for the consequences." ”
Hu Yang nodded: "I just think this thing is a bit mysterious, you can take it out to show off to your friends in the future, who would not want to eat this thing? ”
The old stall owner can understand, but the young man can understand that he can't look down on such a dirty Dan furnace. And the ancient elixir is more mysterious when you hear it, and you can show it off in front of your friends. Young people! It's the age to show off.
He thought for a moment: "You guys look at it!"
That's the human spirit.
Qi Hongye hesitantly asked at Brother Hu's suggestion, "Is five hundred okay?"
Ye Mei suddenly didn't see it, this guy is really not suitable for shopping, can't he just give fifty? If the other party is not satisfied, you can talk about it again. If you give five hundred at once, it's strange that people don't treat you as a fish in the water.
Sure enough, when the stall owner heard this, his face was delighted, and he smiled: "No problem, then five hundred!"
In his opinion, it is a great joy that this thing can be sold, and who will collect it? Maybe it will be poisonous.
Hu Yang casually picked up another thing on the stall and handed it to Andy: "Count this one, make up a thousand, can it?"
Seeing this, the stall owner was even more happy, and hurriedly nodded: "Success, of course it is done!
