Chapter 501: Ann De Immortal Medicine
Shi Renyun: Guanzhong rivers and mountains are one hundred and two, only Taihua and Zhongnan are the most victorious. The victory of Huashan lies in the danger, and the victory of the end of the south lies in the show. This mountain is steep and beautiful, such as a splendid painting screen, towering in the southwest of Xianyang, famous for being rich in medicinal materials, rare birds and beasts.
Wait until Qin Yihai, after Guan Dongfang Shi entered Qin, Han Zhong, Hou Sheng and others came to Zhongnanshan to investigate, returned to Qin Shi Huang, said that Lao Tzu went west to Qin, and ate dew and dancao here, so he had to live a long life.
Qin Shi Huang was skeptical, but he still allocated funds for them to build a "serving table", and every year a lot of dansha would be transported from Bashu for this group of monks to toss.
On this day, Hou Sheng, the leader of the "Ancestral Stove Zhiwu School", was inspecting the dew and medicinal herbs that his disciples had picked from Zhongnan Mountain, when he heard that a guest had visited......
Hou Sheng came out to take a look, but saw a figure in a green robe with black hair, and when he turned around, he was shocked to realize that this person was not young, at least fifty or sixty.
Hou Sheng suddenly laughed: "Who should I be, it turned out to be Lu Gong." ”
The person who came was one of the leaders of the "Overseas Immortal Seeking Sect", Yan Lu Ao, according to his own claim, he was nearly seventy years old.
Both of them are the best of the magicians, although there is competition, but they are often familiar with each other, Hou Sheng invited Lu Ao into the room and poured his own Zhongnan fruit wine to entertain.
After taking a seat, Hou Sheng quipped: "Duke Lu didn't go to Jieshi to ask for envy, swear to the two immortals, and didn't look for Penglai and the abbot, why did he come to Zhongnan Mountain?" Isn't that the opposite of the opposite? ”
Lu Ao didn't think it was angry, and said elegantly: "Don't mock Duke Hou, we seek immortals, we have been living in Xianyang all these years, and we are not used by Your Majesty, how can we have the money to go overseas to seek immortals?" ”
He looked at the Dan temple occupied by Han Zhong and Hou Sheng, and said with a smile: "But it seems that Hou Gong is not much better, your house and temple have not been repaired for a long time, and termites have been born." “
"Lu Gong has good eyesight."
Hou Sheng did not deny it: "In the second pillar on the left hand side of the door, there are indeed a few termites. ”
Lu Sheng smiled: "Not only that, I heard that recently you and Han Zhong wrote that you need to collect rare medicinal materials from Bianyi, but they were also denied?" ”
The implication is that they can't mix up with the overseas immortal faction, and your ancestral stove is also average.
Hou Sheng's face turned pale: "Is Gong Lu here today deliberately mocking me?" ”
"How dare you."
Lu Sheng became serious: "Duke Hou, although you and I have differences on how to achieve immortality, we are all on the same path, you should know that I, Lu Ao, and even all the monks who advocate for His Majesty to seek immortals overseas, are friends and not enemies for you, and we currently have a common enemy-Guanxi Wuzhu!" ”
This is also the most unconvincing thing for Hou Sheng, their magicians have formed a set of rigorous theories after a hundred years of inheritance.
Wrapping himself with those ethereal and mysterious words in the old village, and borrowing the "Great Kyushu" and "Five Elements Theory" of the Yin and Yang family to improve it, it makes people believe it. In the past hundred years, they have also deceived many kings, and the traditional witches of Qi, Chu, and the Central Plains are not their opponents at all.
Therefore, when they first came to Xianyang, Hou Sheng and Lu Ao didn't take Qindi's Wuzhu in their eyes at all, and both regarded each other as their biggest competitors.
Unexpectedly, just when the warlock was about to persuade Qin Shi Huang to seek immortal refining medicine, Chen Baoci's witch child stood up. This open-toothed old guy memorized half of "The Biography of Mu Tianzi" and told some legends of the Western Queen Mother, which attracted Qin Shi Huang.
In Hou Sheng's opinion, Wu Zhi's words have no technical content, and any of his apprentices are better than him, and he is deeply ashamed to lose to such a person!
Lu Ao stroked his beard and said: "I also couldn't understand why we lost to Wu Zhi, and I only understood it recently......"
Hou Sheng knew that Lu Ao was erudite and intelligent, so he said, "Please also ask Lu Gong for advice." ”
Lu Ao said: "Hou Sheng should know that His Majesty is a person with an anxious personality, but if a magician has a medicine offeror, if he can't achieve the effect he said, he will be regarded as not directly deceived and will die!" ”
This is a sharp sword hanging above Fang Shi's head, so Hou Sheng and they kept making requests to Qin Shi Huang, saying that refining immortal medicine requires all kinds of rare medicinal materials, and some things are far away in the barbarian land, only existing in legends, and they can't get it at all if they don't have a few years or ten years.
There is no way, only by exaggerating the difficulty of refining the immortal can the magicians drag their time without failing to complete the task and losing their heads.
Of course, Hou Sheng himself is convinced that he can turn stones into gold and refine immortal medicine.
"It just takes some precious materials and a lot of time...... I heard that thousands of miles away in the south, there is Ganoderma lucidum that is half a person high, and if it can be recovered, it will definitely be able to become a medicine! ”
This has become his trick to prevaricate Qin Shi Huang.
Lu Ao pointed out the ignorance of this approach: "You have been refining medicine for five years, but you have always pushed back and hindered it, and there has been no medicine output for a long time. After only three things, after a few times, His Majesty was naturally disappointed, and the money given to this side became less and less. ”
After exposing Hou Sheng's shortcomings, Lu Ao also revealed his shortcomings:
"The same is true for our immortal seekers, although there are Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou Sanshen Mountain outside the clouds, there are immortals and immortal medicines, if people seek to take this medicine, they can live forever. But this statement was believed by King Qi Wei, King Xuan, and King Yan Zhao, and sent Fang Shi into the sea to ask for it, but they were all impossible, and His Majesty of course was also skeptical. ”
The most important thing is that these three kings did not live long, and it was difficult to be regarded as a model of success, and the magicians could only say that they lacked "virtue", so they could not find the immortal mountain.
The implication is that Your Majesty, you have surpassed the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, as long as you are sincere, you will definitely be able to reach the Immortal Mountain and be favored by the gods.
But even so, in addition to bragging that he had seen immortals at sea when he was a child and had eaten dates as big as melons given by immortals, so he was still full of black hair at the age of seventy, Lu Ao couldn't provide more expectations.
"And Wu Zhi said that the state of the Queen Mother of the West is not, the legend of the ruins of Kunlun is older than the overseas fairy mountain, and it is the same as Penglai, ethereal, difficult to find, but it is rumored that King Zhou Mu has seen the Queen Mother of the West, and he has the immortal medicine given by him, and he lives a hundred years old."
There is no successful case of seeking immortals overseas, but the other party has, and the warlock loses one point first.
"Moreover, Your Majesty's westward expansion has lasted for more than four years, whether it is the land of Shuofang that was just captured the year before last, or the conquest of the Hexi Yue clan this year, or the news that the envoy sent back from Wusun and Loulan, and some strange products brought back by Shang Jia from the Western Regions."
"In the past four years, almost every few months, His Majesty has been able to hear about something new, which makes him feel that the things about the West that Mu Tianzi has written about are substantial, so he feels that the search for the state of the Queen Mother of the West is being carried out in an orderly manner......"
The magician couldn't get anything real, he only knew how to procrastinate and prevaricate, and kept asking for this and that. And the process of finding the mother state of the western king was accompanied by the expansion of territory, military victories, and the arrival of Chief Hu, which made the emperor happy, coupled with the continuous feedback sent back, it seemed to be more and more reliable to seek immortals from the west.
"That's why I'm defeated!"
After Lu Ao's analysis, Hou Sheng was sweating profusely, and it turned out that what really made his side lose was not the advantages and disadvantages of rhetoric, but a series of follow-up things.
He thought about it, it was impossible for him to provide the emperor with so much expectation and satisfaction, and his face suddenly turned pale: "What can I do about it?" ”
If the emperor didn't believe in them, he would have no money to invest, and the elixir of immortality that Hou Sheng also believed in would never be refined, and his dream of immortalizing himself and his family would become empty talk.
Lu Ao agitated: "So far, the two factions of magicians will live if they are united, and they will die if they are separated!" ”
Hou Sheng avoided the table and said: "How to get together?" ”
Lu Ao said: "First of all, to unite the purpose of the two factions, it is said that the ancestral stove is to cause things, and the dansha can be turned into gold, and the gold is made into a diet vessel to benefit longevity, and the longevity and the Penglai immortal in the sea can be seen, and those who see it and make merit can be given immortal medicine, and then use the immortal medicine into the refining device to refine, so that they can eat immortal ......."
In this way, they can take ordinary gold utensils, pretend to be made of stone dansha, and then play a little trick that can blind people's eyes, they can deceive others, so that the emperor can see that the magician finally has some results.
At the same time, they need to endorse each other, so that the two schools of theory are closely integrated, those who seek alchemy need immortals, and those who seek immortals also need alchemy.
Lu Ao will also continue to improve oriental legends such as Fusang Mu, Tanggu, and Kunpeng, and even compile some fake books......
"You can let those who are good at words, imitate the ancient seal of Jin Wen, write a "Peng Zu Sutra", and say that Peng Zu is the beginning of the magician, to take alchemy, from Yao Shun to Yin Shang, 800 years old before he became an immortal!"
Hou Sheng clapped his hands: "Very good, I'll write it myself!" ”
There is another sentence that Lu Ao did not say, in addition, he can also make up some ambiguous words to confuse the public......
After summing it up, he encouraged Hou Shengdao: "These books and rumors must be compiled as soon as possible, because this year, I am afraid that this is the best and last chance for us to persuade Your Majesty!" ”
Hou Sheng was also very well-informed, and lowered his voice: "Could it be ......"
Lu Ao bowed: "However, there is news that the southern Qiongdu has been surrendered, and the Western Yue Clan has also been wiped out by Li Xin, and the captives of the two places will be escorted back to Xianyang in three days to present to Your Majesty." ”
"The west and the south are all equal, Your Majesty has a lot of achievements to boast of, and after the prisoner sacrifice is over, he will start his eastern tour!"
God is pitiful, because of Heifu, Qin Shi Huang canceled the 28-year plan of the eastern tour and concentrated on getting the Xiongnu and Yueshi first. The warlock and the Confucian scholar took turns to persuade for a few years, but their mouths were worn out, and this long-delayed trip was finally about to begin!
"Although I don't know the itinerary of the eastern tour, His Majesty must first go to Mount Tai to seal the Zen, and then cruise to the seaside, Jiaodong and Langya are definitely going to see it."
Over the years, whenever Lu Ao was summoned by Qin Shi Huang, he would talk about his experiences at the seaside, intentionally or unintentionally, which made Qin Shi Huang, who had never seen the sea, very interested, and he always wanted to take a look.
Or, this also indirectly led to Qin Shi Huang attaching great importance to Jiaodong and sending Heifu to govern the county?
Lu Ao regretted this incident, but now, no matter who was there, he could only bite the bullet, and said:
"I also contacted two people, both of whom are Qi local warlocks, waiting in Linzi and Langya respectively, and these two will endorse our arguments and lobby Your Majesty together!"
Hou Sheng could almost guess: "One is Langya Xu City, and the other is who?" ”
Lu Ao smiled mysteriously: "When the time comes, you will know that there are 300 people in the world who are alchemists and waiting for star qi, and this time they will work together to promote this matter, and they will definitely complete their work in one battle!" ”
Hou Sheng bowed: "I will definitely seize the opportunity and ask Your Majesty to let me accompany me, I want to come to Your Majesty to see the misty waves of the sea, I will yearn for it, on Zhifu Island, in front of the Lord of the Eight Gods, I will get twice the result with half the effort!" ”
"As it should be, but ......"
Lu Ao looked embarrassed: "Our biggest opportunity is in Jiaodong, and the biggest obstacle is also in Jiaodong!" ”
Hou Sheng condensed: "What Lu Gong said, is it ......"
He dipped in wine and wrote the word "dog" on the desk!
