Liu Hongbo, Song Zhen and others did not know about the establishment of the alliance on the pirate side.

At this time, they were discussing the alchemy trend that had recently prevailed throughout the country in the Assassin's Mansion.

Liu Hongbo asked Song Zhen and the others: "You have been doing business in laymen all the year round, and you have seen and heard a lot more than your own officials.

I don't know if you've ever heard of someone gaining immortality by swallowing pills? ”

After listening to Liu Hongbo's words, Song Zhen smiled and said, "Don't believe in those legends.

This so-called elixir of longevity, the immortal herb is all a random imagination of some poor people who have never seen the world.

These people have limited knowledge, and if a long-lived person suddenly appears around them, they can quickly come up with a mythical story. ”

Zhou Chong, who was sitting opposite Song Zhen, spoke: "What Brother Song said is right, Zhou also searched for masters everywhere when he was young.

Occasionally, I heard the legend of a long-lived person, and I once ran to verify it myself.

The results obtained, as Brother Song said, are generally illusory. ”

Zhang Xin, who was sitting under Song Zhen's hand, spoke: "I don't know why the adults suddenly want to inquire about this?" ”

Liu Hongbo opened his mouth and said: "You don't know, now officials at all levels of the Tang Dynasty and the opposition are looking for people who are proficient in Dan Dao.

Many of the official's colleagues have also asked the official to search for them on their behalf. ”

Zhang Xin opened his mouth and said: "Adults don't know, those in the outside world who claim to have passed on the immortal law often have a shorter lifespan.

Even if a few people are barely considered to be long-lived, it has nothing to do with the Dao they profess. ”

After hearing this, Liu Hongbo sighed and said: "Having said that, this is the atmosphere of the court now.

If this official has not participated in it, I am afraid it will be difficult to live in harmony with the colleagues around him! ”

After hearing this, Song Zhen and the three looked at each other speechlessly.

Then Song Zhen spoke: "Even if the atmosphere is so good, adults can't fall into the cliché.

In the care of Lord Damon in the lower Domeng, there has been no retribution.

It's better to come forward to invite a Tianzhu monk for the adult.

At that time, adults can also gain some face when they talk with their colleagues. ”

Zhou Chong also said on the side: "Since Brother Song is willing to invite senior monks for the adults, he will pay for a few Dharma meetings for him."

At that time, it will attract some good men and women, monks and Taoists to come to listen to its lectures, which will quickly boost the fame of the monks. ”

Zhang Xin said, "It's best to directly find a high monk who can refine the pill."

We can't say that we can make a lot of money by joining forces. ”

After listening to Zhang Xin's words, several people's eyes suddenly lit up.

Liu Hongbo said directly: "Brother Zhang's plan is wonderful.

Now that the trend has been formed, we can make a lot of money just by following the trend.

How can such a good thing be missed? ”

Song Zhen said: "In this way, I really have to send someone to Tianzhu to investigate."

If the invited monk really has some ability, he can't say it, and he can recommend it to a big man in the court.

Won't we have another layer of protection? ”

As several people discussed, more and more ideas were raised.

Several people's enthusiasm for this matter is also getting higher and higher.

The merchants' keen eye led them to quickly come up with several ways to take advantage of this wave of superstition.

So in the next day, Song Zhen sent more than a dozen of his subordinates to Dongtianzhu urgently.

It is the site of Nalanda Temple, the holy place of Buddhism, and Buddhist monks from all over the Tianzhu region are willing to go there to discuss the Tao.

During this period, Master Xuanzang, who was very famous in history, was also studying Buddhism at Nalanda Temple.

It's a pity that Li Zhidu has no time to pay attention to these things now.

Because at this time, he was trying his best to prevent Li Shimin from taking pills.

"Father! There are so many highly toxic things in this elixir, should it be verified before taking it? ”

Li Zhi looked at a golden pill in Li Shimin's hand, swallowed it with difficulty, and said after spitting.

This stuff contains a lot of heavy metals.

If you swallow it like this, I'm afraid I'll lose half my life if I don't get sick, right?

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Shimin frowned and said, "This Dan is a high-level offering.

I heard that he has been taking it for many days, so I don't think I need to verify it anymore, right? ”

Li Zhi opened his mouth and said: "Father, there is naturally no need to doubt the intentions of the eldest brother.

But this alchemist is not a big brother.

It seems that it is better for Erchen to be cautious. ”

Li Shimin said: "Then how to verify it according to your opinion?" ”

Li Zhi hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, why don't you find a fierce beast and let it take a few pills in a row to see how the effect is?" ”

Li Shimin said: "What is the effect of such verification? ”

Li Zhi said: "Since there is no adverse reaction after the eldest brother takes the medicine, it means that even if the drug is somewhat toxic, it will not attack immediately."

In this way, the conventional test is not telling.

It is better to find a beast and let it swallow a large amount, if the beast finally dies of poisoning, it is enough to explain the problem. ”

Li Shimin frowned and said, "This pill is not easy to refine, and the price is even more expensive.

Wouldn't it be a shame to waste it like that? ”

Li Zhi said: "My father doesn't need to worry about the price, and what my son has is money."

As long as it can be proved that the pill is non-toxic, Erchen is willing to spend more money. ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Shimin reprimanded: "You kid just don't know how to be thrifty. ”

He was criticizing Li Zhi at this time, but his eyes were full of smiles.

His son is willing to spend some money to get a safety for himself, how can Li Shimin be unhappy?

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Zhi said: "How can the safety of my father be measured by something outside his body."

As long as the father can be disease-free, the children are bankrupt, so what's the matter? ”

After hearing this, Li Shimin shook his head with a smile and said, "That's it, since you don't want to rest assured, then everything will be according to your idea." ”

After Li Zhi heard Li Shimin's words, he immediately smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, the son will take people to conduct experiments."

I will be able to give my father an answer in a few days. ”

After saying this, he immediately took the ten gold pills that Li Chengqian gave to Li Shimin and ran to the medical school.

The heavy metals contained in these gold pills are already so abundant that they can show their colors.

Without experimenting, Li Zhi could guess that eating too much of this thing could kill people.

At this time, Li Zhi was going to find a fierce tiger and directly feed it all the ten golden pills at once.

Li Zhi didn't believe that this tiger would still be alive if swallowed so many heavy metals at one time.

Sun Simiao and the others couldn't help but feel a chill when they saw that Li Zhi actually planned to feed the tiger so much gold pill at one time.

They have also previously experimented with animals for metal poisoning.

But there has never been an attempt to deliver such a large dose at once.

These people know how many animals react to metal poisoning.

Therefore, when Li Zhitou finished feeding the tiger, everyone immediately pulled him to a safe place.
