Luan Er is Luan's twin brother, and it's not up to him to decide. As Luan Da's shadow exists in this world, it is not something he can decide. It can be said that from Luan Er's birth to the present, his life path has been arranged by others. His parents gave him birth and threw him away; Master let him live, but he may be in the shadow of others.

Luan Er sometimes felt that he was superfluous, and it was not until he left the mountains and forests and entered the bustling Chang'an that his outlook changed. Luan Er has always been the shadow of Luan Da, and he is another Luan Da. When cultivating Luan Er, Shao Weng was very careful, any mistake or omission would lead to beatings and even skin and flesh, thinking that if he wanted to become Luan Da, he had to be exactly the same as Luan Da, not only in his natural appearance.

Luan Da went to the Xiongnu, and became Luan Da in Chang'an Luan Er, and the emperor still admired him, gave him a Dan room and necessary utensils, and was specifically responsible for alchemy for the emperor. Luan Er is very sure whether he can refine the pills, but whether these pills can be eaten or not, and what the consequences will be, Luan Er doesn't know. He had seen Master alchemy, but he had never seen Master eat Dan, and even the other senior brothers had never eaten it.

In the large hall, the fire was blazing, and several boys sent by the emperor were busy with their own affairs in an orderly manner. Luan Er sat on the futon on the side, holding the Buddha dust in one hand, closing his eyes and recuperating. He had been in this posture for three hours, and Luan Er felt that he was not inferior to his brother Luan Da, and even his master did not have as long as he had meditated.

"Heavenly Master, the time has come!" A boy in red respectfully saluted Luan Er and spoke a little timidly.

Luan Er's eyes slowly opened, and the hour was just right. Bursts of white gas came out of the top of the Danlu, and a faint fragrance wafted in the Dan room. Luan Er took a greedy sip, he knew that this was the smell of dansha, and he also knew that this smell was harmful to himself if he inhaled it, but that kind of fragrance couldn't be resisted by ordinary nerves. Luan Er found that the people in the Dan room were very obsessed with this taste, and smiled slightly.

"Open the furnace!"

Several strong wrestlers struggled to pull the iron chains on the side, making a tooth-souring sound, the heavy Dan furnace lid slowly rose, and the white mist gushed out, encroaching on all the places in the Dan room, and even if they were face to face, they couldn't see each other's eyebrows clearly. Everyone did not move, quietly waiting for the fog to dissipate. There was not much time, and after those fragrant mist dissipated, the blood-red pill was revealed.

"Heavenly Master, it's done!" The boys were very excited, this was their thirty-second experiment, and the first thirty-one were all unsuccessful, either the herbs were completely evaporated, or the color of the pill was disgusting black and purple, and even once it even emitted a foul smell, which caused the waiters and the guards waiting outside to be very dissatisfied.

Luan Da let out a sigh of relief, handed the Buddha dust to the boy beside him, put on the special gauntlet, and carefully took the pill out of the steaming Dan furnace. He was very careful, his movements were gentle, and even a little rusty. There are three in total, each of which is an alarming bright red, this is the elixir refined by Luan Er, and it seems that it is not a good thing.

Everyone's two eyes were staring at the three pills, Luan Er gently put them down, and looked at them carefully: "Send someone to inform Your Majesty that the Immortal Pill has been cultivated, as long as you take nine hundred and eighty-one pills on time, you can soar in the day and achieve an immortal golden body." ”

A boy flew to report the good news to the emperor, and the others all gathered around the elixir, trying to sniff the smell of the air, hoping to get some benefits from these smells, at least to keep themselves free from poison and disease. There was not much time, Liu Jiqing appeared in the Dan room in a hurry, and after seeing those pills, he didn't say anything, rolled up the sleeves of his robe, took the three pills into his arms, and left the Dan room.

"Heavenly Master, this ......" A few boys felt depressed and stared at Luan Er unwillingly.

Luan Erfeng was light: "I have already made a small success in alchemy for Your Majesty, so let's rest assured that Alchemy, when everything is over, Your Majesty will naturally have a reward, go ahead, prepare for the next furnace." ”

The blood-red pill turned black and purple after contact with the air, which made Liu Che very disappointed, and after making sure again, this allowed Liu Jiqing to put away these pills, as the emperor, all the things that are imported must be strictly inspected, not to mention that these pills have changed, so naturally they have to be more careful, as long as they have to let the medical officers of the Tai Hospital take a look before they can decide whether they can be imported.

Chun Yuyi, as the existing miracle doctor of the Han Dynasty, although he did not enter the Tai Hospital, he was still the emperor's most trusted medical officer. When a so-called elixir was placed in front of the old man, the old man was shocked, pounced on Liu Jiqing fiercely, grabbed Liu Jiqing's collar, and roared loudly: "Who is this dedicated to Your Majesty?" Who? The old man is going to kill him! ”

Liu Jiqing moved lightly and broke free from Chun Yuyi's scratch: "Mr. Chun Yu only needs to judge that this pill can be effective, and he doesn't care about the origin." ”

"Humph! Take away such harmful things as soon as possible, whether the old decay is beneficial or not, it is better to eat this thing directly than to eat poison. ”

Liu Jiqing smiled slightly: "Can Mr. Chunyu see clearly?" This is an elixir. ”

"Elixir? You go and ask the person who offered it to His Majesty if he has eaten it? If he eats it, he can soar in the day and say whether it is an elixir, if there is such a means in the world, I will wait for these doctors not to do it, if Your Majesty does not believe in the old decay, eat it, do not use to ask the old decay. ”

Liu Jiqing was a little helpless, so he had to go home with the elixir. There are only three elixirs, Liu Jiqing has always been with him, and according to His Majesty's orders, anyone who is proficient in medicine needs to ask. Su Ren told him before that the so-called elixir was made of mercury, cinnabar and other materials. Normally, these things seem non-toxic and harmless, but if they are heated, they will immediately become highly toxic, and anyone who touches them may die. Therefore, Liu Che kept an eye on Luan Er's provision of the elixir.

The night is like paint, and you can't see your fingers. Luan Er came to the Danfang again, and he had already practiced a furnace of pills today, so there was no one in the Danfang today, not even the Imperial Forest Army guarding outside the door. There is a fire in the Dan room, so you can see five feet ahead. Luan Er saw that a black shadow was standing behind the Dan furnace, slightly depressed.

Luan Er didn't make a fuss, and gently put down the things in his hand: "But what's the news?" ”

The man didn't look back, and said angrily: "Your brother is dead, dead in the chaos of the army, and his death is very miserable and almost burned to charcoals. ”

Luan Er closed his eyes and tried to recall Luan Da's expression, but unfortunately he couldn't think of anything. The man continued: "All this is caused by Su Ren, the master who raised you, taught your brother to die in the hands of Su Ren, I have an agreement with your brother, as long as there is a breath, I can't make him feel better, now you and I are left, how can I kill Su Ren, I hope you can help." ”

"What do you want me to do?" Luan Er was very calm.

"Hehe, it's nothing, as long as you do a good job of alchemy, let the emperor eat your pill, and when the time comes, everything will be solved by me."

"But the emperor didn't eat it."

"That's because the emperor suspects that there is something wrong with your elixir, so you have to take it first."

"I eat?"

"Exactly, someone will come to you tomorrow with the elixir you have cultivated, you have to be very happy to eat it, and you can't show the slightest reluctance."

"......"

"I have already said that as long as you can make the emperor eat your elixir, I will do the rest for you."

Luan Er took a deep breath: "I don't know who you are yet?" ”

"You don't have to know, remember your mission, remember what you're going to do! If you don't do what I say, your true identity will be known by the emperor tomorrow, and I won't say what the consequences will be, you will know it! As soon as he finished speaking, the man's body moved and disappeared into the darkness.

Luan Er looked at the empty Dan room, looking at the gray and unknown fire, which was reflected on the neat mahogany medicine cabinet next to it, emitting a blood-like color. The cinnabar prepared in the afternoon was the purest cinnabar that had been carefully selected, and the mercury flowed quietly in the firelight, which was an indispensable material for the elixir, and it was also the best material that the emperor sent people from all over the country.

In a dark alley outside the palace, a dark shadow crossed the high palace wall and landed firmly on the ground. There were one or two carriages waiting, and the striking inscriptions on the huge lanterns were very clear, and the carriages were made of five tasseled draperies, indicating the distinctive identity of the owners of the two carriages. If you are interested, it is not difficult to guess who these two carriages belong to from the size of the horses and the level of manufacture of the carriages.

Coincidentally, Su Kai is the person with a heart. He came here with Zhu Maichen, and watched Zhu Maichen enter the carriage with his own eyes, and then the man in black came out of the carriage and climbed over the wall into Jianzhang Palace. Zhu Maichen, Su Kai has seen it a few times, with his understanding of Zhu Maichen, Zhu Maichen does not have this strength, so who is the person who steals like the palace? What is the relationship between this person and Zhu Maichen?

The carriage entered the courtyard through the back door of Princess Guantao's mansion, and Su Kai's surveillance came to an end. Such important news can be explained to the emperor, as for whether the emperor wants to deal with these people, or wait until another time, it depends on the emperor's intentions. However, Su Kai forgot that those who dare to do bad things are smart people, and only smart people are sure that they will not be discovered by others if they do bad things.

Just after Su Kai left the alley, more than a dozen black shadows immediately followed. They were all dressed in black night clothes, and the bright weapons on their backs proved that they were all someone's dead soldiers.

Tonight, Su Kai was very tired, he had been in the dark all day, he was very tired mentally and physically, and the night was already late, the gate of the palace had already been closed, the emperor had already rested, and he had to wait until tomorrow to return to the matter. He had already found the answer that the emperor wanted, so Su Kai walked very relaxed, not noticing the movement behind him at all. When he sensed something was wrong, he was already surrounded by people.
