Chapter 246: The Secret of Immortality?
Three days later, Xianyang Palace, the Great Dynasty Meeting.
Because Hazhusu came to Xianyang on behalf of Beihu and Kaqu on behalf of the Western Regions, they took the lead in meeting with the two.
Kaqu was still so fat, and stood up respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, King of Tianshan, the Western Regions have not yet fully recovered, but in order to show their respect for Your Majesty and their submission to Great Qin, the countries of the Western Regions have specially prepared an incomparable gift for Your Majesty, please accept it with a smile." ”
After I nodded, Ka Qu waved his hand, and immediately two people from the Western Regions walked outside the hall.
Both of them are fifteen or sixteen years old, one is a black-haired and blue-eyed teenager, extremely handsome, well-proportioned and slender, and fair-skinned.
The other is a blonde girl with blue eyes, who is even more beautiful like a fairy, with no flaws in her skin, graceful and graceful, wearing the traditional clothes of the Western Regions, and holding her exposed willow waist, many people in the hall secretly swallowed their saliva.
Seeing that everyone was a little out of shape, I cleared my throat and teased: "Kaqu, these two people are your incomparable gifts?" I'm afraid it's a bit valuable, right? ”
I can still understand sending a woman over, after all, men are, but what do you mean by matching a man? I'm not a good man...... Besides, instead of giving me beautiful women, it is better to exchange it for a cart of gold and silver treasures.
Kaqu didn't seem to hear my sarcasm, and said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, don't misunderstand, the gift is not the two of them, but something from the two of them!" ”
I frowned slightly, I didn't see what he had in mind, the two of them were dressed simply, if there was anything special...... Only those two pairs of eyes are particularly eye-catching. I looked closely, and then I made a surprising discovery: the eyes of the two turned out to be double pupils! And there seem to be thousands of stars shining in it, as if it is filled with a universe of stars!
But no matter how strange this thing is, it's just a bunch of human tissue, and it can't contain supernatural and mysterious powers, right?
"Kaqu, don't sell it, you and I are old acquaintances, let's talk about it." The ancients had a peculiar way of doing things, and I was too lazy to play dumb riddles with him.
Kaqu lost his previous flattering smile, and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, what the countries want to offer to Your Majesty are the eyes of the two!" ”
My eyes narrowed slightly, what were these people thinking? What do I need a pair of eyeballs for? Boiling soup to drink? It is estimated that it is not as delicious as fisheye soup!
"What do you mean?"
Kaqu looked into the eyes of the two and said respectfully: "Legend has it that the Tianshan Mountain in the Western Regions was originally a white hair of the Tianshan God, and the Tianshan God was shocked when he found out that he actually had white hair, because the white hair represents old age and indicates death, but how can the god die?" So the god of the Tianshan Mountain angrily plucked off the white hair, threw it on the ground, and turned into the Tianshan Mountains across the Western Regions. ”
Although the white hair was gone, the god of the Tianshan Mountains was afraid that he would continue to grow old, so he visited the method of immortality, and finally met the supreme god emperor at the end of the sky. The God Emperor remembered that he had protected mankind for a lifetime, and his merits were immeasurable, so he took a drop from the essence blood of two gods, a man and a woman, and turned into twin sisters and brothers who were born in the world, and told the gods of the Tianshan Mountains that refining the elixir with the eyes of the two of them when they were twenty years old can ensure that they are immortal for a thousand years, and after another thousand years, the two will be born again, so that the gods of the Tianshan Mountains can live forever! ”
"But the premise is that the Tianshan God still has to protect the peace of the world, otherwise the two will never be born again after a thousand years, until the Tianshan God dies. Since then, the gods of the Tianshan Mountains have been protecting the countries of the Western Regions for a long time. ”
After saying that, he waved his hand at the two of them, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, now that the two of them have reappeared, they have been collected by the Qiuzi royal family in a specially built temple since they were children, and they have received incense from the people of the Western Regions, and they are still in perfect shape, and they are still seventeen years old, in order to maintain their immortal power increasing day by day. The god of the Tianshan Mountains watched coldly when the Wusun and the Xiongnu burned and looted, and he no longer deserved to enjoy the way of immortality, His Majesty saved the people of the Western Regions from fire and water, as the king of the Tianshan Mountains, he deserved this elixir of immortality! ”
"Your Majesty can make people take out the eyes of the two alive and refine them by the alchemists of Great Qin, if you really refine the elixir of immortality, you will be able to live forever and protect Great Qin for all eternity!"
Everyone in the hall listened with relish, I didn't expect that the court would be able to listen to the anecdotes for free, and they had a strong interest in young boys and girls. The temptation is too great, even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance, not only Yingzheng, but some people will also want to try it!
I can't fix it now, Changsheng? Although it is already a fact that the crossing is a fact, if someone tells me that I can live forever, I absolutely do not believe it, if there are really immortal people, it is impossible not to leave any traces, but throughout history, who can achieve it?
I glanced at Kaqu, and then at a man and a woman, all three of them had very serious expressions on their faces, and the boy and girl seemed to have known their fate for a long time, but they just lowered their heads and listened to Kaqu, without the slightest fear of taking their eyes alive.
With so many people watching, Kaqu didn't look like he was making up nonsense, and I couldn't refute his face, so I could only say helplessly: "Then I will accept it, but they are not yet old, and I am still young, so I will refine the elixir when the first strand of gray hair appears on my head." Someone came, and sent the two to Shaofu to live and raise. ”
Shaofu also has the slaves and singers brought back by Zhang Wei, and I have never been to see them, to be honest, compared to the dances of the Western Regions, I still like ancient Chinese dances, and I don't have time to watch them.
Seeing that I accepted the two of them, Kaqu's face was overjoyed, and he said respectfully: "The King of Tianshan will definitely live a long life, and I wish the King of Tianshan and Your Majesty in advance!" ”
I smiled slightly, people pay tribute, there must be a little return gift, but it is worth thinking about what to return, if it is too valuable, the two people are not worth it, if it is too light and thin, and the face is dull.
I thought about it for a moment, and there it is!
"Uncle Sun Tong, there is a backup of the hundred schools of thought in the palace of the hundred schools!"
Uncle Sun Tong got up, bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, there is no complete backup, but there are quite a lot of teaching materials for the county school palaces, and there are as many as five carts of various books!" ”
I nodded, enough is enough! Turning his head to look at Kaqu, he smiled and said: "Kaqu, now the land of the Western Regions belongs to Daqin, and there are endless trade exchanges, and the countries have paid tribute to me with such a great gift, I am very relieved!" I will give you a great reward, and when you think about it, only knowledge and books are the most precious treasures. Rich families don't need to buy fertile land, they have their own thousands of bells in the book, they don't need to raise their houses in peace, and they have their own golden houses in the books. ”
"So I will give you two carts of gold and silver money for the construction of the Western Regions School Palace, and then give you five cars of books for the enrichment of the School Palace, so that everyone in the Western Regions can know Qin characters and Qin rites, and the Western Regions and Great Qin can be more closely connected, what do you think?"
