Chapter 274: The Elixir of Life
"In other words, Lao Huang's method has become?" Lu Xing asked solemnly.
"I think it should be, it's a pity that his achievements and himself have been burned, and the previous efforts have been in vain." Yan Lei said gloomily, many of them have been doing things in secret here for many years, doing unknown things secretly, and they don't even have the right to tell their families, wives and children.
Lu Xing muttered, since Lao Huang can make a breakthrough, it will never be an overnight achievement, the Danfang was blown up without leaving a trace, but it is still possible to leave clues in his residence, and Lao Huang has already figured out the direction before he died, everyone present is an alchemy master with many years of experience, as long as they are clear about the direction they want to try, it will definitely be a multiplier effect with half the effort.
"In this way, you will rest here first, and the New Year will not be too panicked, I will arrange someone to bring you food, and I will talk about the pharmaceutical later."
Lu Xing spoke to appease everyone's emotions, he is still facing many questions that need to be answered, how did this sudden explosion occur, and was the sudden fire before or after the explosion? Was it an accident in the process of refining medicine, or was someone deliberately sabotage? There are many things that need to be peeled off one by one and looked at them one by one.
And now the most important thing is to go to Lao Huang's residence in the backyard to see if you can find the pharmaceutical formula left by Lao Huang.
Of course, Lu Xing would not let others do this kind of confidential matter, and personally led more than a dozen guards to walk through the ruins of the fire that still had smoke and burned down most of them, leaving a few broken walls and ruins of the backyard houses.
Fortunately, Lao Huang's residence was completely preserved, and Lu Xing led people to search for it, and easily found several pieces of paper with pharmaceutical proportions written on the desk. The handwriting on the paper was sloppy, the sketches were all traces of revision, and the brush rested on the paper on the table, blurring a large surface of ink and spreading into a piece. It can be seen that Lao Huang should have been in a hurry when he left, and he didn't even have time to place the brush, or it was caused by the urgency and excitement of the moment.
After finding the formula, Lu Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Lao Huang is gone, his research results are the most important thing he left in this world, it is something that can reflect the value of his life, and he will be relieved to know about Lao Huangquan.
Lu Xing folded a few pieces of formula straw paper and received them in his arms, he didn't know which one was Lao Huang's final conclusion, but when he took it out, Yan Lei and the others should be able to understand, although he didn't know his father's intention to let these people develop these things, but it would never be a matter of immortality, his father often had amazing actions, maybe the usefulness of these potions might really be beyond people's expectations.
Suddenly, a sound of breaking the sky came quickly, and the guards around Lu Xing all changed their faces greatly, and three or four people quickly surrounded Lu Xing's left and right, and a long arrow entered from the window, piercing the window paper and hitting the eyebrows of the guards in front of Lu Xing.
"Escort, there are assassins!"
The guards swarmed in, and several guards in the house protected Lu Xing behind him, holding knives to guard the surroundings.
More than a dozen men in strong armor masked, leaping from the ruins, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, long knives, long swords, sticks, guns and halberds, everything, when not in the army, but the number of people who came is not much, but all of them are extraordinary, the shots are all the strength of the enemy, the more than a dozen guards guarding outside the door can not resist, several people have been killed and injured in a few breaths, and the battle and retreat, has arrived at the door of the house, and is about to be forced into the house.
"Hey, there's a big fish, it's a real surprise." One of the assassins stepped forward, the decoration was slightly different from the assassin next to him, a crimson robe looked too tight and short, outlining the muscles of the whole body, like a suicide bomb ready to explode, a green turban wrapped around his head, on which was a strange Taoist symbol, a hideous mask buckled on his face, revealing a pair of eyes flooded with crimson light, unusually breathtaking, like a ghost.
"Boss, we're not here to kill people, besides, this person has a special identity, if you kill it, I'm afraid that the Lord will blame you, and it still matters if you get something." Someone among the Assassins reminded.
The ghost-faced man smiled gloomily: "Some people are one step ahead, how to get things without killing, besides, it is the purpose of our brothers to drink blood with a knife, and there is no reason to let the lamb leave the tiger's mouth." ”
The guards had already withdrawn from the house, and the group guarded Lu Xing behind them, looking at the swaggering into the door at the moment with a fearless look, Lu Xing knew that the current crisis was very urgent, although these guards were elite soldiers selected in the army, but they were just ordinary soldiers, and compared to the rest of the soldiers, they were only better than experienced and quick reactions, if they really faced the masters, they would not have the strength to fight.
Knowing that things can't be done well at the moment, the only thing Lu Xing can do is to delay as much time as possible, so that the guards army outside can come in time, if there is the commander Pang De here, there will be no chance at this moment.
"Who are you who dare to assassinate in the city of Anyi, do you know who I am?" These people obviously knew Lu Xing's identity, and from the conversation at the moment, it could be seen that they still had some concerns about Lu Xing's identity, and Lu Xing just wanted to use this to deepen their concerns, at least to delay time through the timing of the question and answer, and give the guards outside a chance to come.
Although the Assassins were covering their faces, judging from their reactions, it was obvious that they were still sluggish, as if assassination was not their mission.
"Quack, you must tell who you are, or I really won't find a reason to kill you." The ghost-faced assassin smiled gloomily.
Lu Xing separated the guards in front of him, he knew that if these people wanted to kill, the guards would not be able to stop them for long, it was better to face the enemy, at least not lose to others in momentum, in order to give the assassin enough psychological pressure and not dare to act rashly.
"So you didn't come for me this time, it was just an accident to meet me?" Lu Xing looked into the eyes of the ghost-faced assassin and found that there was nothing else in it except for insolence.
"Hahaha, little doll, I know who you are, as long as you hand over your things, I can spare you from dying, otherwise killing people and stealing goods is exactly what our brothers do for a living." The arrogance in the Ghost-Faced Assassin's words was obvious, making people have no doubt that he really had the intention of killing Lu Xing.
Lu Xing has now determined that these people really didn't come to kill themselves, so what did they break into the fire for? Everyone knows that the status of the fireworks house is extraordinary, since the theft of the last few years of exile, no one dares to fight the idea of the fireworks house, these people come in front of them, claiming to be here to get something, it can be seen that it has been planned for a long time.
"What do you want, let's see if I have what you want." Lu Xingtao said.
"Fill less garlic and hand over the elixir of life, I can spare you from dying, otherwise today next year will be your sacrifice day." A bold female voice among the assassins shouted.
Lu Xing followed the prestige, and saw that the person who spoke was seven feet tall, standing among the assassins without the slightest height disadvantage, and his broad physique was not much different from that of an adult man, who would have thought that this was actually a woman at first glance! Only her slightly bulging breasts are slightly different from everyone.
Lu Xing almost laughed out loud, the legend of the elixir of life has been circulating in Anyi City for two years, since Lu Bu wantonly enveloped the world's alchemists, people have been saying that Lu Bu is going to follow the example of the first emperor to refine the elixir of immortality, and sure enough, the development of the incident is exactly as people expected, Lu Bu first set up a fireworks courtyard to cover people's eyes and ears, and then sent heavy troops to block it along the street to prevent anyone from approaching. In this way, the folk legend about the elixir of life is even more noisy, and almost everyone is sure that the gathering of alchemists in the world is to refine the feat that the first emperor has not completed.
And it is not only the people who believe in such rumors, even the ministers of the court, are also convinced nine times out of ten, and only Lu Xing does not believe it, he knows that his father is not reborn, does not believe in ghosts and gods, and sneers at the ignorant actions of the first emperor, he once made it clear: human life and death are the laws of nature, and the only way to prolong life is to eat reasonably, strengthen the body, and have a happy attitude, even so, you can live one or two decades longer than others, and if you want to live a thousand years long, wouldn't you become a monster, What is the benefit of being disliked by others and crowding out the well-being of children and grandchildren?
These people in front of them actually came for the unwarranted elixir, if they knew that there was no such thing at all, would they be so angry that they vomited blood? Thinking of this, Lu Xing could no longer restrain himself and laughed out loud.
"Do you dare to laugh at me, do you really think that we won't kill you?" The female assassin was furious.
A steel spike flew in the air, carrying the momentum of thunder, and the guard in front of him saw that it was not good, and he gave up his body to block in front of Lu Xing, and was pierced through the heart and lungs by the flying steel thorns, and he couldn't live.
The rest of the assassins saw that they were moving, and they didn't wait for the orders of the ghost-faced assassins, and they rose up in groups for a while, killing in the direction where Lu Xing was, and there were less than ten guards left, and they were not the opponents of the assassins in terms of strength, and they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers at this moment, and several people were killed and injured in a moment.
Lu Xing saw the danger and knew that it had reached the last moment, if he couldn't fight hard, it would be the result of death and defeat, it didn't matter if he died, the key was that he still had an important formula on his body that he hadn't brought out, once it fell into the hands of these gangsters, no one knew what the outcome would be.
In the midst of the crisis, Lu Xing suddenly had a plan, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, pinched it in his hand, and shouted: "Stop, otherwise I will eat the elixir." ”
When the assassins heard the name of the elixir, they were all shocked, and even the arrogant ghost-faced assassin stopped his hand and stared at the small porcelain bottle with a milky white halo in Lu Xing's hand, and they were already sure in their hearts that this was definitely an elixir, just looking at this precious porcelain bottle, it was not an ordinary item that could be used.
You must know that most of the containers circulating in society today are still pottery, porcelain is not a product of this era, but Lu Bu is not a person of this era, he was busy with the war before, and did not care about these trivial things, but since the armistice, in this five-year period, what he wants to do is not just one or two.
Lu Bu once said: It is not easy for people to live in this world, so it is better to be more refined in life.
Porcelain is spread in the last two years, but because the process is not mature, so the porcelain is not as delicate as later generations, but for the thick and stupid pottery of this era, there has been a world of change, the aristocracy for a porcelain and do not hesitate to spend a thousand gold, it is definitely more valuable than gold.
What can be held in porcelain, what else can it be besides the elixir!
The red light in the ghost-faced assassin's eyes became even stronger, looking at the porcelain vase in Lu Xing's hand, it was like looking at the woman he loved, no, it was different, the beloved woman might be able to give it up, and he was bound to get this porcelain vase!
"If you dare to eat it, I'll dig it out even if you leave your stomach." The Ghost-Faced Assassin's voice was dry, like a dream.
"Haha, it's okay to tell you, this morning the pill was opened, unfortunately the furnace was blown up, Master Huang, who refined this medicine, was killed on the spot, only these pills survived, I only swallow it now, this pill will melt when it encounters water and be quickly absorbed by me, you are afraid that you will have to work in vain." It doesn't matter if I'm dead, but if you don't finish your mission, what will your master do to you? ”
Lu Xing will make a plan, since these are here for the elixir that does not exist at the moment, then he can just make an information difference, and tell the truth about the elixir of the elixir, so that these assassins do not dare to act rashly. He knew that after waiting for no news for a long time, Pang De on the periphery would inevitably find that something was wrong here, maybe he was coming with troops, as long as he held on for a moment longer, there would be a moment of hope.
What Lu Xing didn't expect was that it was someone else who noticed their bad situation more than Pound, a person who had always been his enemy.
In the east of the city, the watchtower is as high as the clouds, and when you stand in it, you can only feel the size of the world and the size of the people.
Looking at the construction of the streets and alleys crisscrossed like a chessboard under his feet, the most prominent buildings such as the palace and the palace are even more visible, and the fireworks courtyard that is still smoking nearby has obviously become a ruin, and a fight in the ruins has been transferred to the house, so that Lu Gou did not see the end.
"Someone is even more anxious than me, who do you want to kill Lu Xing?" Lu Gou looked at the city under his feet thoughtfully.
Behind Lu Gou, a middle-aged man dressed in black stood with his hands tied, his gray beard did not match his actual age, even if he stood like this, he faintly revealed a strong sense of vicissitudes in the description, which was the taste of the world.
"Killing people and goods is nothing more than fame and fortune, these people have no name for their weapons and miscellaneous divisions, they are small and the like, and the people who do it are just words, I think they believe in the nonsense in the market, and take immortality seriously, but they are pawns for their sons, which is very good."
"Hahaha, if you really say that, my brother is still unlucky enough, and it is really regrettable that he will die in the hands of a group of Jianghu Xiaoxiao." Lu Gou's laughter in his tone was not shown on his face, a strange face, the skin and flesh did not move, and it looked particularly eerie.
"Childe can't be happy too early, once the prince dies, don't think about the crime of assassinating him, it must be Gongzi's doing, Gongzi should think about how to bear the wrath of King Jin first." The man in black lowered his head and said indifferently.
"Alas, my father is not bad to me, but it's a pity that he shouldn't be too greedy, and I have no choice but to give birth to two sons, isn't it?" Lu Gou's tone unexpectedly revealed a slooming smell that he shouldn't have at his age, like the twilight of a desolate autumn, like the wind sweeping through the fallen leaves.
The man in black sighed, did not speak, and suddenly looked at the ruins not far from his feet, his eyes lit up, and said, "Childe's people have arrived." ”
The corners of Lu Gou's mouth curved, and he turned around and said, "Go down, don't look at it, I really can't bear to watch my brother die tragically." ”
