"You already have one at home?" I looked at the old man and asked, the old man looked very peaceful, I had no idea about these prescriptions, and I didn't know if they should have them in their family, or how rare they were.

The old man nodded slightly and continued, "The prescription we have is Kailiang, these prescriptions are not as simple as the person told you, let the old man tell you today." ”

"This still has to start from Qin Shi Huang, although the words have to start with Qin Shi Huang, but the theory of immortality is not from the time when Qin ruled the world, the theory of immortality has been spread in Qi Chu and other places during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, at that time there were also some capable people in the pursuit of immortality, these nine prescriptions have been available since that time, as for where they came from, there is no way to know, there is a saying from the divine doctor Bian Que at that time, as for whether these are really impossible to verify, anyway, there are these nine prescriptions.

After the Qin State swept away the Liuhe, the First Emperor trusted the theory of immortality, and then these nine prescriptions were collected by him. ”

Speaking of this, I interrupted the old man, "I'm sorry, you mean that these nine prescriptions are all related to immortality?" Didn't the man say that it was nine poisons? ”

The old man smiled lightly and nodded, "Yes, it matters, it's not wrong to say that they are poisons, because a single medicine is poison when released, but these nine medicines are eaten with a certain magical method, that is, the elixir of immortality, you listen to me first, and you will understand when I finish speaking." ”

At that time, Qin Shi Huang not only had Xu Fu's alchemists looking for the elixir of immortality for him, but he also selected nine of his most trusted people from among his most trusted pro-army, and he gave these nine prescriptions to these nine people, and asked the nine of them to go together to find the medicine on the prescription, and strictly ordered the nine people not to know each other's prescriptions privately, and each person could only know the prescription in his hand.

Ordinary people will not understand the majesty of the First Emperor in that era, these nine people are loyal, and they are also afraid of the majesty of the First Emperor, and do not dare to disobey the order, the nine people are loyal and dedicated to finding the medicinal materials on those prescriptions, and they have a small breakthrough, find some medicinal materials, and refine one of the medicines, which makes the First Emperor feel more hopeful, and gives them a great reward. But as you know, the First Emperor died not many years later, and the Qin State ceased to exist.

Nine people searched for so long and tired, so they took their belongings to the people, and resumed the lives of ordinary people, these nine people did not betray their oath until death, the nine people never said the prescription they mastered, and they did not know how to take it after the nine prescriptions were collected, this method was not given to any one by the first emperor at that time, and without that method, the nine prescriptions released alone were indeed an incomparable poison. At that time, when the first medicine was refined, in order to verify whether the medicine was consistent with the effect recorded on the prescription, a dead man was asked to try the medicine, and the condemned prisoner took the medicine and immediately died of poison, and when he opened his body, his heart had been corroded into an empty body, and only an empty shell like thin jade was formed on the outside, which was exactly the same as the record on the prescription, and the first emperor fully trusted the prescription after reading it.

The vicissitudes of life, time passed, and those nine people could keep secrets, but their children and grandchildren couldn't. Until the period of Wang Mang's usurpation, the descendants of one of them saw the opportunity to take refuge in Wang Mang, who had usurped the Han Dynasty and became the emperor, and told the matter of the nine prescriptions, and then Wang Mang sent that person to secretly take people to find the descendants who had the other eight prescriptions.

The descendants of the five families did not come back for safety, the five families fled separately, disappeared together and hid in the Central Plains, Wang Mang was soon pushed down, and the Zhou family, who took refuge in Wang Mang at that time, was also nowhere to be found, and that matter slowly became unknown. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he took a big sip of his teacup.

I've pretty much understood this, but there are still some things that aren't very clear.

I was silent for a minute, then glanced at Zhao Qing, then looked at the old man and asked, "In this way, your old man should be the descendant of those nine people, right?" Or in other words, including Zhao Qing, all of you in the Zhao family are. ”

The old man nodded without denial, "Yes, the ancestor of our Zhao family was one of the nine people at that time. ”

"In that case, you are one of the five families who fled and hidden? So, shouldn't that person know what you have for your prescription? But you also said that the prescription you have is to open the cool, not the Underworld and the Taizhuan that that person does not have, so how did that person know the Zhao family's prescription for opening the cold? Seeing that there was nothing unusual about the old man's expression, I immediately continued to ask the old man.

"Hehe, no, we are one of the three families that were found during the Han Dynasty, but the people of our Zhao family were not completely captured at that time, and not all of those who were caught were killed."

"Oh, that's a blessing."

"But in that case, why would that man know seven of them?"

"There is only one explanation, in the long years that followed, the five families who escaped did not completely escape these turmoil, we can all imagine that from the moment those prescriptions were born in this world, the turmoil is destined to never stop, and the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." The old man said as he looked ahead with an ethereal look in his eyes.

I didn't speak, I can figure out this truth, when those nine people accept that order, and see those prescriptions, it is doomed that they and their descendants will never get rid of this thing, as long as someone knows this thing and wants this thing, then they will definitely go to them and find them.

"In fact, I found those things in Xiao Qingzi, even if it is our family, we don't know the names of the nine prescriptions, we only know four, that is, the Zhou family, and the prescriptions of the three families we were caught at that time, and I don't know the other five, but since these four have appeared in the person's words, the other five will not be fake, so it seems that someone has already obtained seven prescriptions, and now only the Underworld and Taizhuan have not been discovered."

I nodded, took a deep breath in my heart or decided to ask the question in my heart directly, in the process of the old man speaking, this question became more and more uncomfortable in my heart, now I still ask directly, my heart can be more comfortable.

"Senior, junior wants to ask a question, please forgive the junior for being rude, I don't have any friendship with the Zhao family, although Zhao Qing and I are friends, but we haven't known each other for long, you trust me so much to tell me these secrets directly?"

"Huh." The old man smiled lightly, "Our Zhao family's prescription has already been known, maybe this is one of the reasons why the Zhao family has not been disturbed too much by outsiders for so many years." You know the prescription now, so even if it is said to you, it is nothing, and now Xiaoqingzi is also in the same trouble as you, I want her to solve the trouble, of course, there is one last point, if you want to solve this trouble, it is best to have an ally together, for now, you are the most suitable, of course, I will not hide it from you, and the last point, your master, maybe you don't know your master so well, you still underestimate your master! ”
