Recently, the article talked about a Jiang Immortal Master who offered the immortal elixir to Emperor Jiajing, and the elixir refined by this person was very powerful, and he could swallow arsenic without dying.

While writing this episode, a guy with a tiger's head asked me, "Is this elixir you wrote about relieving arsenic toxicity operable?" Is it possible to operate at the level of technology at that time? ”

Well, you see, discussing whether a certain plot is operable in the description of foxes, fairies, demons and ghosts, this brain hole is thicker than a waist, right?

But I like it!

In fact, even in ancient times, this arsenic is not without antidote, in the pharmacopoeia "Suixingju Diet Recipe" recorded that after taking arsenic by mistake, you should immediately swallow mung bean powder or raw eggs, and then drink a spoonful of fecal soup to induce vomiting, you can detoxify without harm.

But why did this arsenic, which obviously has an antidote, become an antidote in the process of folk word of mouth?

Answer...... It's that spoonful of vomiting.

In the past, in addition to the doctor's home who specialized in prescribing pulse diagnosis, who would always prepare emetic drugs?

But saving lives is like fighting fires, if you find that someone has taken arsenic by mistake, you have to quickly wash your stomach and induce vomiting. Just have a spoonful of dung soup, every house has a toilet anyway.

However, arsenic can severely burn the stomach mucosa after entering the patient's stomach, causing moderate gastric bleeding; At this time, a spoonful of fecal soup full of bacteria was poured into the bloodstream, and those deadly microorganisms immediately entered the blood circulation from the bleeding point in the stomach, and then it was difficult for the person not to die!

So arsenic is not incurable, provided you don't drink that spoonful of yellow bula.

Now the question is, what exactly is Immortal Master Jiang's detoxification elixir? It must not be mung bean flour or raw eggs, otherwise it can't hide the nose of the imperial physician.

With the support of the modern chemical industry, modern medicine has a special antidote for arsenic poisoning - dimercaprol, which can combine with poisons after entering the human body to form stable, insoluble and non-toxic arsenic compounds.

How good is this, just pull some black poop and it's over, and you don't even have to spit it out.

So, with the chemical strength of the Ming and Qing dynasties, can we synthesize dimercaptopropanol, or isopropanol?

OK.

Because there has been a high degree of distilled liquor in the Ming and Qing dynasties, have you heard of the famous name of Erguotou?

Alcohol, whose scientific name is ethanol, is the brother of propanol; In the process of distillation, ethanol is distributed, and what is mixed in the lees is propanol!

Briefly talking about the specific process, not to mention the previous process of fermentation and distillation of ethanol, the key is that after distillation, the remaining distiller's grains should be filtered with gauze, and finally the brown viscous glycerol (glycerol, boiling point 291 °) is obtained.

Glycerol is then dehydroxylated by touching a red-hot silver nugget to produce a small amount of isopropanol (boiling point 97.4).

Finally, through the different boiling points of isopropanol and glycerol, further distillation and separation, at this time, isopropanol can relieve arsenic toxicity is obtained.

But that's only half the story.

If you want to deceive Jiajing and the imperial doctor, in addition to the life-saving isopropanol in that elixir, you must have a fake death drug that can make you feel unconsciously even if you are pierced by a golden needle.

In addition, there is a dye that spits 'black blood' out of the mouth and nose and pretends that you have been poisoned by arsenic.

However, for a high-level alchemist like Immortal Master Jiang, since he has the knowledge and ability to make isopropanol, the above two points should not be a problem for him.

Wow wow, this man ate arsenic, and he didn't even die!

With such miracles, Immortal Master Jiang suddenly soared in front of Emperor Jiajing, who was fond of elixir magic.

However, the emperor is easy to deceive, but it is difficult to get out after the deed. If you don't refine the elixir for Jiajing, you won't want to leave!

So, Immortal Master Jiang didn't stop doing anything, and simply ascended to the immortal in front of Jiajing!

But Jiang Immortal's form of ascending to the immortal was a bit terrifying, not only throwing down a human skin with eyebrows, but also leaving a pool of red, white and smelly pus and blood...... It doesn't seem to be the same as the imaginary scene of ascending into an immortal?

In fact, the reason why modern people have an overly romantic misunderstanding of such a thing as becoming an immortal should be attributed to a Jin Dynasty Danshi named Ge Hong (the master who invented gunpowder).

This person once defined the three modes of becoming immortals in "Hug Puzi and On Immortals": the sergeant lifts the form and ascends to the void, which is called the heavenly immortal; The sergeant swims in the famous mountain, which is called the land immortal; The corporal dies first and then sheds, which is called the autopsy immortal.

The problem is actually in the four words 'lifting the shape and ascending to the void', at first glance, it does give people a feeling that after becoming an immortal, the whole body is flying in the clouds.

However, in the Jin Dynasty, the shape is a fake word, the same "type", when the mold is spoken; It can be simply understood as a leather case that looks like a human.

In addition, the word lifting has the meaning of bulging, so this 'lifting the shape and ascending to the void' is describing the sudden bulging of the skin of the person who ascended into an immortal into a balloon, and then 'hew' to get it, deflated (ascending to the void).

Such a creative way to die naturally deserves a fairy word.

In addition, there is another corroborative evidence, that is, the autopsy immortal.

There is no difference between this corpse and normal death, but after the dead are buried, when the coffin is opened and reburied again, it is found that the corpse in the original coffin has disappeared, leaving only a wrinkled and shriveled human skin (molt).

This kind of death, the things left behind are similar to those left after the ascension of the immortals, so they are mixed with the name of an autopsy immortal, otherwise it will be the same as a normal death.

Now the question is, why do immortals have to leave their skins when they become immortals and ascend to the sky, so that there is still a saying that everyone in the people has a stinky skin?

This 'immortal' must be the kind of immortal that people usually imagine?

Obviously not, because in addition to the heavenly immortals and autopsy immortals, there is also a kind of earth immortal, a kind of existence that lives in seclusion in the mountains and wilderness, and is immortal.

If the Heavenly Immortals were really able to bring their entire bodies to the 'Heavens' as mortals imagined, then the Earth Immortals would have no advantage at all...... is also cultivating against the sky, the difficulty of cultivating the earth immortal is not less than that of the heavenly immortal, if the return on investment ratio is so different, who should be this earth immortal who can not even enjoy the world of flowers in the world in addition to being immortal?

Therefore, what the Heavenly Immortals and Autopsy Immortals brought to the 'Heaven' in the end must not be their own bodies, but ...... Soul!!

Do you think I'm going to talk about feudal superstition next? Wrong!

I don't know if you have ever thought that a person's memories are really stored in this person's brain?

Not necessarily, because there is a condition called amnesia!

Patients with amnesia have normal intelligence and logical thinking, but they lack the memory of the previous period!

If memories are actually stored in the person's brain, amnesia means that the part of the brain cell that stores them has died.

But there is a chance that amnesia will be cured naturally! Patients with amnesia can regain lost memories!

So are the brain cells that store those memories resurrected? This explanation is too mysterious, isn't it?

Therefore, there is a hypothesis in medicine that human memory is actually the same as the sound recorded on an audio tape, which is a magnetic field recorded by special magnetic particles in a specific arrangement!!

The so-called brain is just a charger for this magnetic field and a reading and burning head...... The so-called amnesia is not the loss of memory, but the problem with the head that reads this part of the memory, the memory has always been there, but after the head is partially out of order, the information read out is incomplete, lacks logic, and is incomprehensible.

When the head is repaired, when the memory is 'lost and regained'.

If memory is just a piece of information recorded on a magnetic field, does it mean that the human soul is actually a piece of information that has not been completely demagnetized?

Wow, does it feel like a new world has opened?

When a person dies, the magnetic energy of the soul that has lost the energy of the brain will gradually weaken, causing the soul that depends on the magnetic field to disappear little by little.

So can this decline be stopped? OK!

By constantly charging this magnetic field until every magnetic particle that makes up the magnetic field is magnetized into a permanent magnet!

You all played with magnets when you were a kid, right? Take out a magnet that you played with when you were a child, and you will find that the magnetism, or suction, of this magnet is not as strong as it was back then...... In other words, magnets also have a lifespan, generally no more than fifty years.

However, human beings' exploration and transformation of the natural world is endless.

Today, the latest generation of NdFeB permanent magnets (Nd2Fe14B) have a magnetic lifetime of more than 5,000 years, and the 'tape' information made from this magnetic material can be read by VCRs thousands of years later.

For 5,000 years, the history of civilization of the Chinese people is nothing more than that; If you do this, can't you call it a god?

The so-called heavenly immortals are actually a piece of memory magnetic field information that will not disappear for thousands of years after being strengthened by a special charge!!

The process of 'lifting the form to ascend to the void' is actually to provide a large amount of biological energy to the soul in a short period of time by consuming most of the body tissues, so that it can gain the ability that will not disappear for thousands of years!!

Do you think we're alarmist? Feel like the human body can't provide the energy that magnetizes the soul permanently?

Do you still remember the eunuch master Dong Haichuan mentioned in the previous article?

According to the video data taken that year, Dong Haichuan's physique is extremely thin and short, and he is the size of a meter and a weight of about 80 catties.

However, such a thin person tore off the soaked cowhide cord wrapped around his wrist with only one palm...... Replaced by a mechanical unit, Dong Haichuan has more than 600 catties of strength this time, and he can completely send a big muscular man like the governor into the sky!

Hormones!

Why is doping strictly forbidden in sports? Because these things are enough for an untrained new melon egg to knock out those world-class players who have been trained for years in a physical competition!

And the effect of adrenaline, which is secreted by the human body autonomously, is dozens of times stronger than that of any chemical synthetic stimulant!!

The effect of this hormone is so domineering that the slightly slender blood vessels in the human body burst because they could not withstand the high-speed blood flow brought by adrenaline, causing a small amount of blood to enter the person's mouth.

Some soldiers who have experienced white-knuckle combat admit that the moment they come into contact with an enemy's blade, they will taste blood in their mouths.

The so-called hemophobia is actually due to the fact that the human brain associates the phenomenon that the microvessels of the oral cavity cannot withstand the excessive blood flow rate and ruptures, causing a small amount of blood to enter the mouth, and adrenaline, which promotes the temporary and substantial enhancement of body functions.

This will produce the peak physical state of the body under the stimulation of adrenaline, and turn to the extreme obsession with drinking bloodthirsty.

Looking back now, looking back at Cheng Xian's 'lifting the shape and rising to the void', is it like the process of the body tissues being stimulated by excessive hormones in the body to be decomposed in large quantities to provide energy, and then under the action of huge blood pressure, those cell tissue fluids that have been completely liquefied break through the local weak body surface, and finally break out of the body?

Wow, scared no? Believe me, it's a horror.

Do you want to know what happened to Yang Congxun and Hu San and what happened to this Jiang Immortal Master who became an immortal and ascended? See below...... Hey, hey, hey, hey.
