Chapter 40: The Past Is Like a Knife

That year, she was also the county lord of Nanzhi City, who was loved by thousands of people, weaving a beautiful time that belonged to her!

It was a April day in the world, but the years were not twilight, and the world was in autumn. She went through something that shouldn't have been what she should have experienced at her age.

The Han family, who was born in several major families, has a noble status, and is the only daughter of Han Cheng, and she is a little red in the millions of bushes, so she is naturally the stars and the moon. Even Han Huaqian himself felt that she was different from those sons, at least Han Cheng in his eyes from childhood to adulthood regarded her as the meat of his heart.

Han Huaqian's personality is unrestrained, informal, and has a smart and clever face, she has been likable since she was a child, and Han Cheng is indeed doting on her, and this kind of doting is unprincipled and does not distinguish between right and wrong.

However, it wasn't until she was ten years old that she learned that this was not the case.

There is no distinction between right and wrong, but it is not to the main right and wrong. The reason why she is used to spoiling her is that she just thinks that those pampered pets are inconsequential and will not involve the level of interests.

She never expected that she would also become the candidate for the golden pill, just like her two brothers who were also concubines. But isn't she separated from them? They have no status, they have been drowning in all kinds of cynicism and foul language since childhood, how can they be the same?

In fact, what she didn't know was that "testing the golden pill" was a "sacred" and "glorious" task in Nanzhen, just like the previous dynasties were selected as the emperor's burial, can you say that it is not honorable to die with the emperor?

Jin Dan is a "holy object" and "rare thing" of the Nanzhi Langhua School, and ordinary people cannot covet or desecrate, so those who can be selected as the Jin Dan can only be people in the family clan.

For the Nanzhi people who have already gone mad, the legend that Jindan can make people immortal has become an eternal truth from the legend of the Arabian Nights. So in this case, shouldn't everyone rush to such a sacred errand as the "golden test"?

It stands to reason that this should be the case, but they will not doubt Jin Dan itself, they can't trust their own technology! Who knows whether it is a golden pill or a poison that is refined, so someone must first make a "white mouse" to help them test them one by one to ensure that everything is safe before taking it themselves.

Crazy is not the same as being confused!!

The final decision on the candidates for the "Golden Pill" is in the hands of Han Cheng, Han Cheng has a total of three wives and has four sons and one daughter, Han Zhang and Han Biao are born to the eldest lady, that is, the main wife, Han Zheng and Han Ying are born to the second wife, and Han Huaqian is born to the third lady. Although Han Zheng, Han Ying and Han Huaqian are all concubines, the third lady is quite popular with Han Cheng, and Han Huaqian looks smart and has a flattering personality, so there is still a big difference in the status and treatment between the two and Han Huaqian.

This is also the reason why Han Cheng did not hesitate to choose the two of them in the first two "Golden Pills" instead of Han Huaqian.

As for this time, Han Cheng was reluctant to go to Han Hua at the beginning, the person he chose was Han Zhang, and Han Biao was the eldest son, who would inherit his position in the future, and it had been ruled out.

Han Chang is a dispensable existence for him, and he was originally listed as a candidate for heir, but as long as he has practiced the art of immortality, do he still need to worry about inheritance? He himself could sit in that high position forever.

Unexpectedly, before he announced the candidate, Han Zhang first came to the saddle to curry favor with him, and promised Han Cheng to help the Ronghua faction win the huge "funds" allocated by the next Guozijian.

Under the premise of great interests, Han Cheng had no choice but to choose Han Hua, which was also highly recommended by Han Zhang.

Moreover, in Han Cheng's view, the "Golden Pill Test" is originally sacred, and if the test is successful, you can live forever, and the two sons of the world are mentally sluggish after testing the drug, and the symptoms of dementia may just be that the formula is not adjusted well or the heat is not enough to cause side effects, and it is not poisoning, as long as it is treated, they will still recover.

And what he didn't know was that the two of them didn't die just by luck.

Their so-called gold pill contains lead, mercury and other toxic heavy metals, these heavy metals can make many proteins in the human body inactive, and if they reach a certain amount, they will also cause people to die directly.

Han Huaqian also worshipped the Jin Dan as a magic medicine like ordinary Nanzhi people, but since she learned that his two elder brothers had become delirious after taking the Jin Dan, she began to reject that thing.

Besides, she is still young, she has no concept of immortality at all, and even if she knows that Jindan is sacred, she has no intention of chasing it, not to mention that the facts presented now are not the same as she thought.

She still remembers the scene vividly.

Next to the huge alchemy furnace was her shrunken and thin body, standing alone in the center of the main hall of the "Yu Dan Room", waiting for the sentence in fear. The alchemy furnace is one zhang high, shaped like a three-legged tripod, which makes her even more pitiful.

She was surrounded by a large group of people from the Han family's clan, with familiar faces. Yes, they are all her relatives, relatives who have watched her grow up since she was a child and are gentle to her. Now their position is also "the stars and the moon", but unfortunately their eyes are no longer gentle, but like jackals, they urge her to take the "elixir" that seems to be surrounded by golden light.

At this moment, her heart is like the bronze on the furnace, even if it is burned with a high temperature of 10,000 degrees, it is still as cold as ever.

In this situation, how can she warm her frozen heart!

She was disappointed, she was helpless, she was sad, her eyes were red from crying, but everyone remained indifferent.

"Dad, mother, don't you love Qian'er, Qian'er doesn't want to become an idiot!" Whimpering, he struggled for the last time.

"No, you have to be good before, only in this way can you stay by your father's side forever!" Seemingly a little unbearable, Han Cheng quickly turned his face away and avoided Han Hua's pleading eyes.

Mrs. Han San has always been submissive, although she couldn't bear it, she didn't say much. For her, her husband is the sky, and his decision should not be wrong, and her daughter may be able to live forever in this way.

Seeing that Han Cheng did not waver, Han Hua cried even more fiercely, her eyes swept over Han Zhang, Han Biao, the eldest lady, the second lady, and the nurse...... Almost everywhere the eye goes, it is like an electric shock.

She was really desperate and sat down on the ground.

Han Cheng waved his hand at this time, and a housekeeper approached Han Hua with a saucer-like plate, on which was a golden satin cloth, wrapped in the recently refined golden pill.

The golden pill had been refined a few days ago, but after years of calcination day and night, the temperature was too high, so it had to be taken out and cooled before taking it.

In the main hall, the appearance of Jin Dan made the temperature that had been low just now because of Han Hua suddenly rise a lot. Qi Shushu's eyes moved with the plate containing the golden pill, and they couldn't see anything else in their eyes, they just wanted to stick to the holy object that belonged to their Nanzhen.

There was only one person, it was Gongsun Li Zai, who was quietly staring at Han Hua sitting on the ground at this time, and his eyes swept over Han Cheng from time to time. This was the first time he had visited other schools on behalf of the Guiyuan faction, but he didn't expect to come across the scene of the Ronghua faction's "Golden Pill". He should have watched this good show leisurely, but at this time he seemed to have other thoughts.

"Give it to her!" Han Cheng waved his hand lightly in the agitation, and after speaking, he sighed lightly, and then turned around and stopped looking at Han Huaqian.

Jia Ding was about to take a few steps forward to get closer to Han Hua, when Gongsun Li on the side gave Feng Shang next to him a look, and gestured, Feng Shang immediately understood, and quietly threw a round bead on the ground, the bead rolled on the ground, just rolled to Jia Ding, Jia Ding stepped on the bead coldly, immediately leaned sideways, fell to the ground, and the tray in his hand was also thrown out, and the satin-wrapped Jin Dan circled in the air and turned around. Together with the satin cloth that had been separated, it landed on the alchemy furnace directly below them, and the Dan furnace happened to be uncovered again.

A qiē is as fast as lightning, it doesn't look like it's artificial, where does the golden pill fall on the Dan furnace, and the people in the hall are all stunned to see this qiē happen, surprised but helpless.

In fact, this seems to be an accident, but it is not, Feng Shang has already calculated the direction of the beads and the steps of Jiading, so that Jiading seems to have no intention of falling and calculated his posture and the route of Jin Dan's flight, others do seem to have wings and want to fly into the Dan furnace. A qiē is impartial, just right, if the calculation is not accurate, the family will change a falling posture, and the golden pill may not fall in the Dan furnace.

Everyone's attention was drawn by Jin Dan, so naturally they didn't notice their small movements, and Han Huaqian, who was looking at him with a dilated eye, also inadvertently looked up to see the behavior of Gongsun Li Zai and Feng Shang. It's just, why did they save her?

"Master Han, this is the will of heaven, it seems that the golden pill of your sect still needs to be refined!" Gongsun Li then took the opportunity to summarize this qiē as providence.

Han Hou Ye obviously hasn't reacted yet, he has always been superstitious and believed it after listening to Gongsun Li Zai's words, and sighed with an expression of "God's will, what can I do": "Maybe it's really God instructing us that Jindan hasn't become a climate yet!" ”

After the other people in the hall heard his words, their souls returned to their places, and they said in unison: "Return to the furnace for retraining, return to the furnace for retraining!" ”

When it comes to superstition, the people of Nanzhi recognize the second, and absolutely no one dares to recognize the first. They absolutely dare not disobey such specious "celestial phenomena." Otherwise, how could they become loyal followers of the "art of immortality"?

In this way, Han Hwaqian survived, at least until the next Jindan was released. Grateful but full of doubts, she had heard of Gongsun Li Zai a long time ago, but this person thinks very highly of himself and is not nosy, why is he willing to rescue him this time?

She threw a grateful look at Gongsun Li again, but Gongsun Li didn't look at her again, as if it had nothing to do with him at all.

In the past, Han Huaqian, who also thought highly of herself, would definitely reply to him with a "not rare" expression, but now, the grace of saving her life is as heavy as a mountain, and no matter how ignorant she is, she will not treat her benefactor like that.

Moreover, she has already made up her mind to follow Gongsun Li to repay his kindness.

She was completely tired of this place. This cold place without a trace of temperature, this place full of her laughter since childhood, can only become a memory from now on. She decided to leave because she didn't know when she would be escorted to the execution ground again, and she didn't want to experience the pain of despair a second time.

Gongsun Li didn't expect that his momentary compassion had added a burden, in fact, he couldn't be blamed, who could withstand Han Hua's stalking?

With the departure of Han Huaqian, the matter of testing the golden pill has come to an end for the time being. It's just that the Han family is like a monk in Zhang's second year, and they can't figure out why Han Huaqian ran away to Yu Liang for no reason, and plans not to come back for the rest of his life. Most people thought that she had fallen in love with Gongsun Li Zai's dusty temperament, and since then she has not even recognized her ancestors.
