Chapter 3 The elixir of life seeks the emperor's life
Twenty-eight years of Qin Shi Huang.
"This is Xianyang!" Lu Yu was dressed in a Taoist robe, sitting on the restaurant in Xianyang and looking down. Thanks to the strict laws of the Qin Dynasty, the streets are cleaner than modern ones, the garbage is neatly piled up in one place, and people's faces have the confidence of a strong country and the vigor of life.
Looking at the people on the street, Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh: "What if they knew that there were only a few years of good life to live?" ”
Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority in his heart, but he was left behind in the blink of an eye: "What's so superior about this?" Isn't bullying them traversal? ”
"Pass on the Qin Emperor's order." At this moment, the voice of the herald came from the street. "Emperor Qin ordered to recruit scholars from all over the world to refine the elixir of life. If you can succeed, you will be rewarded. The herald read it aloud three more times. Immediately, a middle-aged Daoist man with immortal wind and Dao bones stepped forward to talk to the herald, and then an army walked towards the imperial city towards the Dao man.
"Huh? That guy is Xu Fu. With his extraordinary ear power, Lu Yu heard the name of the Taoist. To be honest, Lu Yu still has a lot of interest in this recruitment, his qualifications are not good, and now there is no such cave blessed land as the Sanxing Cave for him to use, so the Imperial Purple Qi is very helpful to Lu Yu's cultivation, which can help him get married as soon as possible.
Cultivation starts from mortals, opens the pulse realm to exercise**, and opens up the meridians to lay the foundation for future cultivation. The Qi Acceptance Realm contains the five qi in the five organs, constituting a small circulation of the inner heaven and earth. The Jindan Realm gathers vitality in the Mud Pill Palace, condensing the qi into a pill. Yin God Realm, turning the soul into a Yin God can travel at night. Yang God Realm, turning the soul into a Yang God can travel every day. At this point, it is necessary to merge the yin and yang gods, turn into a primordial god, and become an immortal.
"But what about Xu Fu?" Lu Yu was a little worried in his heart, this person was sent to take Qin Shi Huang's life! "Forget it. It doesn't matter what you're doing so much, let's eat the benefits in your mouth first. "Lu Yu has never liked too complicated calculations, for him, life is a journey, a paragraph. Immortality is for better enjoyment, if it is immortal, but can only live in aggrieved terms, it is sin. No wonder C. C went back to seek death.
Thinking about it, Lu Yu decided to go and 'apply' for the profession of alchemist, and said in his heart: "Although I am not familiar with alchemy, but with the high-quality material and earth treasure supplied by Qin Shi Huang, I can also casually refine some health-preserving pills and mix them up." Wait, in this way, I can also collect materials for refining cards, a dynasty is better than me alone, it's just two birds with one stone, it's great! ”
Walking to the registration office, Lu Yu thought that he would be able to play two tricks, and he could pass the test by playing casually with exorcism. As a result, the person in charge just pouted and motioned for Lu Yu to accept the second round of assessment.
"Why?" Lu Yu said that he didn't understand, he had obviously proved his strength, why he was not welcomed into the palace, competently worshipped, won the imperial princess, and walked to the pinnacle of life! Well, Lu Yu admitted that he was talking about it. But the gap between reality and ideals is still obvious!
"First, there is intelligence that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms may take the opportunity to assassinate His Majesty this time. The second is that you just show that you know some Taoism. The real immortals that our Great Qin wants, such as Daoist Xu Fu is a world-famous monk, who are you? ”
"Uh............ "What can Lu Yu say" is famous, it's good! But my brother is also a decent family, and he even said that my strength is not good.
Just as Lu Yu was about to have a good reason with the people at the registration office, he saw a burst of shouts: "Come from the mountain." "Then, I saw a mountain on the left outside the city, and in an instant it ran to the right side of the city." Hey, who's this guy! Can such a high-level supernatural power as moving mountains be used? Lu Yu looked at the registration point in another place, and saw a person wearing a navy blue robe, a goatee, and a whip-shaped magic weapon, driving the mountain to the other side. I'll go, if it's really not fierce. It's been more than 800 years since I became a god, why is there still this kind of person in the Pulse Opening Realm who is holding a powerful magic weapon and doing something stronger than me, a Qi Acceptance Realm? ”
Just when Lu Yu kept complaining, the Taoists who came to the test from other registration offices also showed their magical powers. Whether it is the use of magic weapons or innate abilities, which are stronger and more gorgeous than Lu Yu's performance that just teased the child.
"Do you have any questions?" The test officer asked.
Slapped in the face, slapped in the face, slapped in the face. Pretend not to be forced but be fucked! Lu Yu couldn't wait to take out the Lion King and give them a shot, but Lu Yu still waved to the officials in a gloomy manner, and then ran to the waiting area to wait for the next one. After Lu Yu went down the mountain, the first show was already despised and ended.
"There are so many capable people in the world! And don't look down on the ancients, they have seen everything. ”
—————————————————————————————————————————————————
After a little wait, the real test began.
The registration office just lets you show that you are eligible to take the test, so as not to let the uneducated guys get in. This test is to test the ability of alchemy. After all, Qin Shi Huang wanted a monk who could refine the elixir of immortality, not a capable person who could fight the law. Sure enough, it is still the old emperor who is happy and domineering, what kind of master has it, the emperor can still pick and choose, if the emperor of the Ming and Qing dynasties encounters here, any one of them will have to be an ancestor as if he has to offer it!
"Ladies and gentlemen, the lower official Zhao Gao is here to test your alchemy achievements." A white-faced and beardless eunuch on the stage introduced to everyone in the audience, "In this test, I, Daqin, will provide you with all kinds of spiritual materials, and I hope that there will be people present who will work for my Daqin." Of course, the most important principle is to be true and honest, do it yourself, even if you fail, it doesn't matter, I, Daqin, am not a calculating person. But if you cheat, you may not be able to afford the consequences. ”
"Is this warning me?" Lu Yu said in his heart that just now he had the idea of stealing the finished pill for the pillar, but it was better to look around.
After picking a few tonic herbs from the high platform, Lu Yu threw all the medicinal materials into the Dan furnace in one go, and the people on the side were stunned. Anyway, it's all tonic to eat the undead, and when the fire cooks them, it's good to use mana to control the pill molding. Lu Yu, who was making a small calculation, began to meditate seriously with the idea of getting by.
If you want to refine the anti-heaven elixir, you need to hold a ritual to bathe and clean your clothes, and you can only refine it with the right time and place, and you even need to survive natural disasters when the pill is completed**, otherwise it will not be refined if there is a slight difference. And now sitting here refining pills, just let everyone present show off their alchemy skills. Lu Yu, who has figured this out, doesn't have expectations for himself, so let's think about his future life, ah, it's so annoying!
After a day passed, everyone and the other pills had been refined. Of course, including Lu Yu's one, En...... The herbs are boiled and boiled, and the mana controls the balls that are formed.
"Hehe, you've all succeeded!" Zhao Gao walked out of the high platform with a grin, and then said, "Next, I will be the chief worshipper of my Great Qin, Lord Xu Fu, to judge everyone." ”
"Huh?" Lu Yu heard Xu Fu's name and looked up, and sure enough, it was the Fang Shi he saw yesterday. "Hey, it's only been a day that you've been in the position of chief worshipper? Let's hang up. ”
"I'm sure you've all heard of Lord Xu Fu's name, so I won't say more." Zhao Gao leaned over, made a gesture of invitation, and retreated behind Xu Fu, and said, "Next, it will be judged by Lord Xu Fu." ”
I saw Xu Fu step forward and throw out a pile of talisman paper. The rune paper was in mid-air, scattered and floated in front of everyone, and changed into Xu Fu's appearance in a flash. Then pick up the pill and carry out the pindan. But after a while, Lu Yu heard: "You have passed." ”
"Huh?!" Lu Yu looked at the expression of an idiot: You are stupid, you can pass like this.
Xu Fu didn't have the idea of explaining more, and the rune paper clone disappeared directly in front of him. Lu Yu looked around and suddenly found something unusual. Lu Yu was under the Bodhi Patriarch, and there were a lot of good pills he had eaten at the beginning, and he could still distinguish the quality of the basic pills. Those good medicines with strong aura and bursts of fragrance did not pass through; And those that contain a lot of impurities, even like Lu Yu, have all passed.
"Shady!" , Sure enough, the alchemy masters around them also discovered it, and immediately released bursts of dissatisfaction, and they were about to make a fuss. A strong coercion swept through, causing everyone to immediately fall silent. But it was Xu Fu who was powerful, and judging from the coercion just now, he was at least a first-class immortal, but he didn't know what his plans were.
"Next, I will be in charge of all those who pass, so go to the east hall; If it fails, I will also give a lecture, so I will go to the west temple. After speaking, Xu Fu didn't look at everyone and left the high platform directly. The people in the audience didn't say much after thinking about Xu Fu's tough performance, and honestly did what he said.
In the east hall, the atmosphere of everyone at this time was relatively dull. Everyone knows how many pounds and taels they have, and now it seems that something big is involved. Lu Yu was also distressed in his heart: he didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Hey, forget it, there's no way to complain, I just hope to have a way to live.
"I've kept you waiting." Before the person arrives, the sound comes first. Seeing the space shaking, Xu Fu sat on the first seat.
"Shrink the ground into inches!" "No, it's obviously teleportation!" Xu Fu Xiaolu directly shocked everyone.
"I am the Immortal Monarch under the Heavenly Court Haotian God Throne - Tai Bai Xing."
Lu Yu was shocked: Too platinum? The one who likes Zhao'an in Journey to the West, put his face up and let Sun Wukong go to the goods? I don't read much, don't lie to me!
"I'm here for an important mission, and I just don't want to meet someone who is quick to talk and understand, so you just need to be safe and secure. Have you ever understood? ”
Lu Yu and the others claimed to understand.
Xu Fu nodded with satisfaction and said: "What kind of material and earth treasure do you want, even if you ask for it from the domestic demand management, it can be regarded as the benefit of your coming here." After speaking, Xu Fu got up and said, "I'll say it again one last time, don't do superfluous things." Otherwise, do you still want to become immortals? After saying this, Xu Fu disappeared.
For those present, the threat of the last sentence is the greatest, and the greatest wish of immortal cultivators is to become immortals, live with the sky, and travel to the north sea in the twilight. If you decide to be in Heaven, you will only be afraid that you can only mingle among demons in the future, or be a man with your tail between your legs. So even if you don't want to be friends with Heavenly Court, you can't offend, of course, if you have a good background, it's another story.
"Actually, think about it, that's a good thing! You don't have to do anything to get the best spiritual materials. ”
"yes, yes. Maybe you can still have a relationship with Xingjun, and you can be ranked in the immortal class in the future, wouldn't it be happy! ”
"Yes, yes."
"It's the pole, it's the pole. That's it. ”
…………
Everyone echoed and praised the general direction of following Heavenly Court.
After a while, they were led by the palace people to their respective residences, and Lu Yu thought secretly: No matter what the process is, I finally came in. As for Xu Fu's matter, it's too troublesome!
