Chapter 97: There is indeed an immortal pill in the world!
Xu Fu and the others were stunned, with the Book of Heaven in hand, the First Emperor did not seem to be irretrievable. But after all, the Book of Heaven is left by the heavens, not to mention that only professional people can understand the meaning, and even the words are not readable by ordinary people.
Although the title page went well, there was some speculation in it.
After that, it is about alchemy, even if you guess, you must be able to get the true meaning right.
"The elixir of immortality?"
Is there really such an elixir? In the end, General Meng Tian saw it wrong,
Or is it ......
Everyone seemed to hold their breath.
I can't guess by feeling anymore.
Xu Fu took a deep breath, his mind was a little dizzy, he stared at it, and saw that there were indeed four big characters written on the title page. However, among the four big characters, he only knew one, which was the word "no".
The word "no" written in the Book of Heaven is not much different from the unified text of Daqin today, it is just a horizontal circle on the top, a small circle, and then a vertical side under it, there are two points on the left and right.
"No" is taken from the pictographic lettering, which is different from when engraved on oracle bones, but it is only an extra top and a horizontal. And now the word in front of me is the same as the word "no", but there is no square circle at the top and below.
On the oracle bone, there is no such circle.
For Xu Fu, who couldn't see the oracle bone divination of the ancient sorcerer, this word could be recognized at a glance.
As for the other three words, they are completely different from what Xu Fu knows.
The word for "death" is the mind.
The so-called death is also the night of people. The sun sets, and people die.
When it comes to the oracle bones in the old days, there is also a pictogram meaning, death, and the prisoner of man. Its form is more like trapping a person in a cage, which is seen as death.
In addition to these two.
There is also a saying from the people, the so-called "ζΊ" and "evil" sound, this part of the word, the word seen, has always been related to death.
And the word in front of you, how to look at it, that is, there is no meaning of no prisoner, and no one means that there is no night.
Only the last one remains to be studied.
Let's talk about the word "zhi", "" out also, this word has the meaning of breaking the ground, and there is also a "branch" to say, taken from the growth of plants and trees, the pen is sharp, not now there is no meaning of breaking the ground.
And the word "medicine", when Jin Wen, is a line of sound to make words, take the line, about the sound. From θΈ (θΉ) from the music (about), so take the pronunciation of y in the covenant, and combine the pronunciation of ao in θΉ.
By the time of the small seal, "medicine" became the word huiyi, which means to use herbs as the main thing to cure all diseases.
Xu Fu's head is big, and the words in front of him don't look like "immortal medicine" no matter how you look at it, maybe General Meng Tian misunderstood?
Xu Fudao: "What about it, take a look at it later?" β
"Listen to the Immortal Messenger." Meng Tian agreed very simply.
Xu Fu was taken aback, it seemed that the general was not sure. He continued to scroll back, and after more than ten pages, he saw the end.
Xu Fu smiled awkwardly and looked at Fusu and Meng Tian, who were a little confused, "Come to think of it, what the general said is the "medicine of immortality". β
"It's a big deal, don't speculate." Fusu Road.
Xu Fu nodded, he naturally knew that if the First Emperor was still holding his breath and taking the medicine he had mistaken to drive the crane westward, it would not be an exaggeration to punish the Nine Clans.
He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and returned to the page.
If Xu Fu knew at this time, when he was in the Han Dynasty in later generations, someone named Xu Shen would have written a book of "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" and would have it! If it is paired with the "Xinhua Dictionary" of later generations, his current pain will be solved.
Xu Fu was not discouraged, after all, it was a book from heaven, and it could be easily understood, so wouldn't everyone know it.
These words on the book of heaven seem to be completely different from Qin Zhi's small seal, but they are faintly in the same line, often between the same word, the two writing methods are not related, but they can be guessed from the glyphs, and there is always a wonderful feeling.
This is actually normal, Chinese characters are originally based on symbolic symbols, as long as you know those symbols, such as a circle with a dot to represent the day, you can naturally compare some fixed changes from the Japanese characters.
No matter how the font changes, the symbol never changes.
Even if there are other ways of making characters, they are nothing more than pictograms, signifiers, understandings, shapes, sounds, transcribings, and pretending to borrow six middles.
But in the strict sense of the word, transfer and borrowing are the use of words. The four methods of wording, in the final analysis, are also inseparable from the original pictograms.
Chinese characters are an extremely sophisticated type of writing, which can be divided into two types: monolithic and combined. Needless to say, the monomer is a variant of the symbol itself. And the combination is nothing more than a number of symbols put together, such as the sun and the moon together, which is the light. Among them, the sun and moon are pictograms. And Ming, on the basis of pictograms, is derived from the meaning of the word. Before the moon sets, the sun has already risen, isn't it dawn?
More importantly, even if it is a script created by later generations, or a script that has undergone great changes, it can be identified by another principle, that is, one symbol is a side to express its meaning, and another symbol is to express its sound. For example, the medicine word in the golden text, from θΈ (θΉ) from music (about), θΉθ‘, about sound. This is also a phonetic word derived from the symbol.
The last kind of finger is more convenient to make words, and the most representative is the word "up and down". In the small seal, there are no last two points in this word. There is a vertical line above the horizontal line for "up", and a vertical line under the horizontal line is "down".
Xu Fu secretly cheered himself up, just three words, can't I be sure yet!
That's right, it's not a rough guess as mentioned above, but it has to be determined.
The key lies in the second word "death".
Death, people are also night, but it will not be written like this, but from the people.
"Can you have pen and ink?" Xu Fu just thinks that it is difficult to guess, so it is more intuitive to write it down.
"Yes, I brought it for the immortal seeker." Meng Tian got up, went to the place where he and Fusu were sitting and talking, and took pen and ink.
Xu Fu took the pen and ink from Meng Tian's hand and lay his body on the ground. Reach out and write down a "ζΊ".
The more you look at the similarity between this word and the word "death" in the Book of Heaven, what is the resemblance?
Xu Fu's eyes lit up, and the "ζΊ" department has now been written as the "evil" department. If you extend it horizontally and write a dagger, isn't that exactly the word!
He helped to draw what he had in mind, and wrote the word "dagger" separately.
"The immortal seeker is really smart!" Fusu exclaimed.
Nowadays, although the "evil" department has been written as the "evil" department, it has just evolved, and few people know it, let alone know it by heart.
Just this "dagger".
Xu Fu frowned, "Familiar, but not familiar." β
Fusu and Meng Tian and Xu Fu look at this word in a different direction, in Fusu's eyes, this word happens to be the dagger of the dagger!
Qin's dagger was different from now, it was a person bowing down. It's written in the same way as it is today, but it doesn't look much like it. If you turn your head 45 degrees to the left to see the "dagger" in the small seal, it will be exactly the same as the "dagger" in the current line.
"Immortal messenger, this is the word "dagger"! As he spoke, Fusu turned the cloth on the ground in a different direction.
Xu Fu was shocked, it was a dagger!
The gangster is holding a dagger, what word is there besides death?!
In this way, this is really the word "immortal"! After Xu Fu finished speaking, he began to flip forward, he pointed to a few lines on the title page, "Childe, look, there is a saying from heaven and man here, although the sentence "today peek into the way of heaven and man" is also my guess, but the meaning will probably not be wrong." This word "zhi" is the same as the third word! β
"Immortal ......" Fusu read the first three words.
"Medicine!" Xu Fu added the last word.
Now that the position of the Book of Heaven is opened, it is the scope of "Dan", so it must be followed by the refining method of the elixir of immortality.
Fusu was overjoyed, "Unexpectedly...... We really found it! β
"Immortal Messenger, let's go down and see how to refine!"
Xu Fu nodded, and there was excitement in his heart that couldn't be hidden.
In ancient and modern times, is the first elixir of immortality really about to appear from my hands?
When a page is opened, there is as much handwriting as the title page.
However, this time, Xu Fu didn't look at it word by word, as long as the steps of refining the pill were rigorous, there would be no mistakes. As long as you have some control of the refining time and the accuracy of what you need, it will be fine.
"Heaven and earth are yellow, vast and vast like smoke and clouds. The living are alive, and the dead are dead. The change of goods, the beginning of the cycle of the week, is the way of heaven. β
"However, those who are in the way of heaven say that life is life, but death is not."
Xu Fu stumbled and read back, and Fusu and Meng Tian's blazing eyes were a little dazed.
"Immortal Messenger, what do you mean by this?" Fusu read the books of the sages extensively, but he never understood such a meaning.
Xu Fudao: "Childe, in the way of heaven, there is only one life to say, but no death. β
"There is life and there is death. How can the immortal seeker say that there is no death? Fusu asked.
Xu Fu smiled slightly, "The Dao is vast, and it is not something we can understand." Life does not die, it only changes the form of its existence. β
"The so-called, those who have no desire will last forever, and those who have desire will die."
Fusu nodded as if he didn't understand.
Xu Fu continued: "Xuan, Tianye. Those who have desires and those who have no desires are angry with the heavens. β
Xu Fu suddenly had an epiphany, yes. Why is there an elixir of immortality in the world? It is only because the human spirit does not die, only the physical body will perish.
Those who have no desire for fame will live forever, which means that those who will take fame and fortune outside their bodies. The eternal existence of cultivators is precisely because they abandon fame and fortune.
The death of those who have a desire is also a saying that the vast number of mortals are being spoken. When the body dies, there is something to be desired.
"Today, I will leave the medicine of immortality, and those who are destined to meet it will save their lives."
"The human body can survive, and the qi of the five elements is indispensable. The wood master is born, and the body is weak and dies due to the lack of wood gas, so it is necessary to collect the essence of wood and temper it. β
"If you are angry, you will not die, so it is the medicine of immortality."
Xu Fu almost finished reading these in a trembling state, obviously only reading a few sentences, but he felt weak, as if he was going to lie on the ground in the next second.
It's so draining!
He paused, took two sharp breaths, and continued, "Man is no different from all things, and if there is life, there is death. If you refine the medicine of immortality, it is against the way of heaven. Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for ruin, and there is no room for those who violate the Tao. β
"Therefore, the medicine of immortality needs to be used by the power of the Heavenly Dao to enter the medicine, otherwise it will not be punished by heaven."
Xu Fu sighed, "It turns out that there are only two key points, one is wood qi, and the other is the power of the heavenly dao. β
Everyone was shocked, after listening to what Xu Fu said, although they were still confused, they felt that they really knew the method of refining the elixir of immortality!
And it is reasonable, it is worthy of being written by heaven and man, and heaven and man are really awesome.
Although I don't know how Xu Fu read it and it seems like he is half prostration, but when they listen to it, they become more and more refreshed!
But listening to the meaning, no one in the world can refine the elixir of immortality, only immortals.
The people in the world are really liars!
Heavenly Power ......
As the name suggests, there must be the so-called Heavenly Dao contained in it. And how can mortals drive the Heavenly Dao?
This is a high demand, but even if it is difficult to find, you may not be able to practice, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, you must give it a try.
Now this is the only way to save the First Emperor, even if you are desperate, you have to try!
The First Emperor was seriously ill, and he was not completely hopeless. If it is hopeless, then accept fate. Knowing that the First Emperor was hanging for a breath, how could he accept his fate!
"Immortal Messenger, are you willing to refine medicine for the First Emperor?" Fusu asked.
Xu Fu was stunned for a moment, but it was said in the book of heaven that only the power of the Heavenly Dao could refine medicine.
What does Childe Fusu mean?
How do I know the power of heaven?
But on second thought......
I have been taught the law by the celestials, and the name of this immortal envoy was a little ridiculous before, but now it is well deserved. Maybe it's still far from knowing the way of heaven, but who in the whole world knows the power of heaven and man better than me?
Xu Fu arched his hand, "Gongzi Xinwu, I am willing to die for the first emperor!" β
Fusu nodded, "In this case, the general quickly prepared the things used in alchemy. β
"Whoa!" Meng Tian answered, and went to the jailer to prepare the things needed for alchemy.
After all, Fusu is a son, although it is rumored that the first emperor wants to behead a son, but even if he is abolished, Fusu is still the eldest son of the first emperor.
Although he no longer has the honorific title of son, the first emperor will not sit idly by and watch his eldest son be humiliated by the hands of the little officials!
The jailers did not dare to disrespect those who supported the Su, nor did they dare to disobey the words of the Fusu.
After all, this is the former site of the Yue Palace, and many things are said to be relatively simple to find, and there are also Fangshi in Yanwei Prison, and there are many Dan furnaces required for alchemy.
At that time, the first emperor had not yet ordered to kill all the scholars in the world, and all the monks had Dan furnaces, and the Fangshi were beheaded, and the Dan furnaces were left in the treasury as physical evidence.
At this point, after a little search in Yanwei's prison, he found many Dan furnaces.
Fusu chose one of them in the best condition.
Xu Fu was a little worried, it was very clear in the Book of Heaven that he wanted the essence of wood qi, but where to find the essence of wood qi?
"Now everything is ready, only the essence of wood qi is owed." Xu Fu sighed.
"The medicinal residue we brought back from Yunmeng Mountain, is it considered the essence of wood qi?" Meng Tian said suddenly.
Xu Fu was stunned, there was still the dregs left by the heavens!
This Fusu and Meng Tian went to Yunmeng Mountain to gain so much, I knew that I would go to Yunmeng Mountain first!
If it goes well this time, you have to go to Yunmeng Mountain as soon as it is over to see if you can pick up the leak. After all, if the First Emperor was really cured because of this elixir of immortality, the Land of Yunmeng would definitely be surrounded by the Qin army. At that time, it will be impossible to pick up any treasures from them.
"Does the Admiral have any dregs?" Xu Fu asked.
Meng Tian took out a wrapped cloth from his arms. Xu Fu took the medicine residue, and as soon as he opened it, a breath of fresh air swept through his body.
A fresh, cold fragrance permeates the surroundings.
A different color suddenly appeared on Xu Fu's face.
When he was unconscious at sea before, he had smelled this fresh and cold fragrance, but it was no less than a hundred times stronger than the medicine residue in front of him!
Moreover, at this time, he also felt as if there was a clear air circulating throughout his body, making him feel as light as a swallow.
In this way, these dregs in front of you will definitely be used in medicine!
