Chapter Twenty-Six: Purifying the Poison of the Corpse
As for the trip to Heizhugou, according to Wu Jian later said in the tomb of the King of Dian, the so-called Dianwang clan actually came from Heizhugou, and Heizhugou was the first compatriot of the Yi nationality, in fact, before that, it also belonged to the Nuwa tribe, so the two places of Heizhugou and the tomb of the King of Dian are actually implicated, or even the same thing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In this way, the tomb of the king of Dian and the Xingtian tomb in Heizhugou are actually related to the Queen Mother of the West, because Wu Jian once told us that there were three major tribes of human beings in the ancient years, one was the Fuxi tribe, one was the Nuwa tribe, and the last one was the Yang Hui clan, and this Yang Hui clan was the later West Queen Mother tribe, so it was bound to be related to the West Queen Mother.
Speaking of the past, all things, more or less, are related to the Queen Mother of the West, and there are countless mysteries in it, I wonder, is it the same as the ancients, as long as we find the underground tomb of the Queen Mother of the West, we can solve all the current mysteries?
I'm beginning to believe in the so-called fate, maybe we people will be like the ancients, and put the final goal in the underground mausoleum of the Queen Mother of the West in the Kunlun Mountains? But we don't care about the legendary elixir of immortality, and we also know that the so-called elixir is actually poison, and because of this, the West Queen Mother Kingdom has gone to complete destruction, will we still go to the underground palace of the West Queen Mother in this case?
I immediately vetoed this possibility, because I had carefully discussed it with Biaozi when we came to the Nyingchi area, and this time, as long as we found the legendary holy water and lifted the corpse poison on our bodies, then the last thing we had to do was to complete the transaction between me and the third uncle.
Then, we can't say, we have to use the power of the third uncle's family to flee abroad, because our current status in China is still a wanted criminal, and this is not a place to stay for a long time.
For Liu Bowen's matter, the three of us discussed for a long time, and when we found that many things were all coincidences, everyone was not only embarrassed, but even Wu Jian joined the discussion, but Sancora's next narrative surprised us even more, because he told us that the biggest secret of the reincarnation of the living Buddha is actually inseparable from the Queen Mother of the West.
At this moment, we were all stunned, including Sancora himself.
It took a long time for us to recover from the shock, and Sankra said like a fool: "Really, what I said is true, if you really count it, the matter of the reincarnation of the living Buddha is really inseparable from the matter of the Queen Mother of the West." “
Sankra then told us that Liu Bowen had indeed brought back a bottle of poison.
After Zhu Yuanzhang got the bottle of elixir, he carefully asked about the underground mausoleum of the Queen Mother of the West, Liu Bowen naturally did not dare to hide it, and told the whole story of the matter, including the fact that the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West was not opened.
When he learned that the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West was indestructible, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed at the pity, but not only thought of another thing, which made him feel faintly uneasy.
What Zhu Yuanzhang thought of was that the elixir was such an important thing, why was the Queen Mother of the West not placed in the invincible tomb, but generously placed in the unimportant companion room? Could there be a problem?
Liu Bowen also felt that things were a little strange, because he had been to Maoling and found a jade plate for the elixir in it, which meant that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had also obtained the elixir, but he did not live forever in the end, which was very problematic, and it was a means used by the Queen Mother of the West to deal with tomb robbers.
Thinking of this, Liu Bowen broke out in a cold sweat, and he immediately suggested that one of the guards should try the medicine. The results of the drug test can be imagined, and the elixir made by mixing corpse poison is naturally something wrong with eating.
After the guard ate the corpse pill, he was kept in a hidden place, and Zhu Yuanzhang would come over to check the situation from time to time. However, after two months of peace, the guard began to behave abnormally, first, his personality became irritable, tearing and biting at the sight of people, and second, he became bloodthirsty, no matter what blood he had, as long as he ate it, he would not make trouble.
Most importantly, the guard began to lose his ability to speak, and his skin turned black, and black hair that did not belong to a human grew from it, which looked strange and inexplicable.
After another two months, the guard had completely lost his ability to speak, and his eyes had turned red, and even when his family was standing in front of him, he rushed over and tore and bitten, not even recognizing him.
After eating the legendary elixir, in just a few months, it turned into such a bloodthirsty monster, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally furious, if it weren't for the sword guard Song Taibao to prove that the bottle of elixir had been guarded by himself and Liu Bowen at the same time after it was in his hands, and he had not opened it, so he couldn't say that Liu Bowen was guilty of seeking the king, and he was cut down on the spot.
Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang was not reconciled, and continued to ask Liu Bowen to find the legendary elixir of immortality, that is, to ask him to find a way to open the morgue of the Queen Mother of the West. Liu Bowen carefully studied the tomb door and knew that without the corresponding key, it could not be opened by brute force alone, so he had the next tomb robbery trip to find the key to open the tomb door.
While looking for the key, Liu Bowen also made a second-hand preparation, that is, to find a way from the existing poison pill, that is, to get rid of the toxic ingredients in the pill and make it a real elixir.
Liu Bowen not only has a certain attainment in metaphysics, that is, in medicine, but also has a lot of achievements, he took the Jin Dan back to study, and soon found that the reason why the guards after eating the Jin Dan will become the legendary zombie is because the Jin Dan is mixed with the ingredients of the Corpse Pill, so he decided to find something to remove the ingredients of the Corpse Pill from the Jin Dan.
Strange people like Liu Bowen naturally know the legend of the earth spring, but it is just a legend after all, where can they find it? But he thought about it, the earth spring water is water after all, so soaking the corpse pill with water can also get rid of the corpse poison in the golden pill? If this is really the case, then is the powerful corpse poison on his body also saved?
Thinking of nature, although in order to verify his ideas, he sacrificed a group of dead soldiers, but this is also a last resort, after all, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, otherwise, not only himself, but also his own people will be implicated because of this, which is more important Liu Bowen naturally knows.
The results of the verification are just as Liu Bowen guessed, the water can indeed purify the corpse poison in the golden pill, although the purification is very slow. At the same time, he also found an exciting thing, that is, the colder the water, the better the purification effect of the corpse pill, so Liu Bowen began to order people to find the coldest spring in the world.
This process was naturally arduous and long, so that in late May 1375, Liu Bowen's corpse poison finally broke out, and until the moment of his death, he failed to fulfill this grand wish, which can be described as the first regret of his life.
Although Liu Bowen died, Zhu Yuanzhang's dream of immortality still hadn't woken up, so he found other alchemists to replace Liu Bowen and continued to find ways to get rid of the corpse poison in Jindan from the aspect of water. As for the indestructible strange tomb of the Queen Mother of the West, after many attempts to no avail, Zhu Yuanzhang has given up.
The corpse poison in the golden pill is very powerful, although the colder the water, the more it can dissolve the corpse poison, but in any case, it cannot be completely removed, after more than ten years of experiments, this big problem has still not been solved.
At the beginning of 1392, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already dying, knew that his time was running out, so he paid more attention to the matter of purifying the elixir, and coincidentally, at this time, Fang Shi told him that there was a major breakthrough in the matter of the elixir, because after some dead soldiers ate the now purified corpse pill, five months have passed, and there has been no change in his body.
This news made Zhu Yuanzhang's heart happy, so he planned to take the elixir, but he began to be suspicious again, although there were no side effects after five months of taking the elixir, so after a longer period of time, will the side effects come out?
Thinking of this, the suspicious Zhu Yuanzhang began to hesitate again, although he wanted to live forever, he was more afraid of death, so he decided to let another dead man eat the elixir to see the after-effects.
Prince Zhu Biao is Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son, this person not only attaches importance to filial piety, but also is very benevolent, Zhu Yuanzhang has heard of the matter of testing medicine with a living person, this time he heard that he is going to test the medicine with a living person, he can't bear to see his father, hoping to persuade him to this brutal act.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little upset about the elixir, and now the prince came over and said that he was very annoyed, so the two had an argument, and Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he drew his sword and wanted to stab the prince Zhu Biao to death on the spot.
Zhu Biao saw that Zhu Yuanzhang actually wanted to kill himself for this matter, and he was both sad and excited, and impulsively, snatched the bottle containing the elixir in Fang Shi's hand, tilted his head and poured it down, and ate all the elixir.
Zhu Biao believed that these so-called elixirs were the source of evil, and they were also the tumors that caused the relationship between their father and son to deteriorate to this point, and he laughed madly and ate the elixir, while claiming that now that there is no so-called elixir, his father can become the former Mingjun who has the world in mind.
Zhu Yuanzhang was almost blindsided at that time, he never expected that his eldest son, who had always been loving and filial, would do such a thing today, and in a fit of anger, he immediately ordered someone to put Zhu Biao in prison, and after abolishing his identity as a prince, he was immediately decided.
Without the elixir, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, but he did not completely lose his mind because of this, knowing that there was still an elixir in the underground palace of the Queen Mother of the West, so he ordered Song Taibao, the chief of the guard, to set off again to find medicine.
But at this time, a minister came to report that the body of the dead man who took the elixir last time began to change, and it should be that the corpse poison in the elixir has not been completely purified. (To be continued.) )
