Palm life and death, turn the tide
In 224 BC, Qin Shi Huang unified the world.
The first emperor sent hundreds of people to ask for immortal medicine, and at this time, all kinds of folk evil arts, alchemy warlocks, and strange arts arose in the world. Religion flourished.
Ten years later, Xu Fu returned from Penglai Xiandao to visit a Dan Fang, returned, Yingzheng sent civil and military officials out of the palace for dozens of miles to greet each other, this is the greatest courtesy of the monarch to his subordinates since the unification of the world, only later Tang Wang sent Xuanzang to the west to learn scriptures to have such a scale, the two are the same way.
It's just that after Xu Fu returned, he asked to send dozens of Dan Warlocks to refine the elixir together.
At this time, Yingzheng had reached his twilight years, and he felt powerless, so he often sent people to ask how the elixir was refined.
Xu Fuhui: The name of this pill is Huanyang Dan, which takes 7749 days to refine.
Finally, forty-nine days later, Yingzheng was in the early dynasty, and hundreds of civil and military officials knelt in front of the court to witness together.
How is Xu Aiqing's elixir refining?
"Back to Your Majesty, the medicine has been refined and can be taken. ”
Ying Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, "Aiqing has worked hard, if this elixir is useful, I will make you the prime minister of the country, and one person will be above ten thousand people." Offer the elixir!
Xu Fu knew the dragon's heart at this time, and this kind of gift was simply a dream, and the time to offer the treasure was just right at this time.
Who knew that the minister Wu Jiyi on the side was waiting for the performance.
"Your Majesty, by all means. ”
Ying Zheng was displeased when he heard that these pedantic ministers actually dared to sweep his Yaxing. Longmu glared at the hundred officials, "If you can't tell a reason, I will behead him today." ”
"Wu Qing, why don't you let me take it?" Ying Zheng lowered his voice relatively low, but it made all the civil and military officials feel frightened.
Your Majesty, the elixir refined by Xu Fu was given to His Majesty for consumption without being tested In case this elixir is poisonous, Your Majesty is the Lord of Great Qin, so there must be no mistakes!
When Ying Zheng heard this, there was nothing wrong with this, and his anger disappeared a lot. looked at Xu Fu and then at Wu Ji and the others, what should you say?
"Your Majesty, there are many condemned prisoners in this prison, and they can be used to test medicine. ”
"Xu Aiqing, what do you think?"
Although Xu Fu was a little displeased, he was full of confidence in his medicine, this is a great tonic, how can it be poisonous, even if he can't live forever, it is no problem to prolong life.
"Back to Your Majesty, there is no problem with the pill, since Lord Wu and others have proposed it, the subordinates have no opinion. ”
This kind of answer makes Ying Zheng even happier, quasi-
After a while, the Praetorian Guards brought in a death row prisoner who didn't seem to have any energy. The scars all over his body have broken in several places, and his face has been burned with a prison word, and it looks like he won't live long.
Emperor Yingzheng Dog wants to kill or chop whatever you want, and eighteen years later, Lao Tzu is a good man again.
If this rebellious remark had been put on weekdays, he would have been sentenced to death long ago. It's just that Yingzheng was in a good mood today, looked at the condition of the death row prisoner with satisfaction, and said:
"Bringing you up today, you have a chance to live, would you?"
When the death row prisoner heard this, he said, "Live, as long as he can survive, who wants to die." ”
I do.
"Okay, well, if you can be fine after taking this elixir, I will allow you to go home. ”
The death row inmate's eyes were full of golden light when he heard this.
Xu Aiqing gave him a pill. ”
The death row prisoner only hesitated for a moment after getting the pill, anyway, he was dead left and right, and he gambled.
The civil and military officials all watched the reaction of this death row prisoner, and at first it was very ordinary, the death row prisoner kneeling on the ground, his eyes slowly became sharp, and he felt a lot more energetic.
"Hey, why is Xu Aiqing so ......?"
Back to Your Majesty, I'm afraid the power of this elixir is working, wait a while.
Sure enough, the death row inmate's hair fell out, and his face and wounds on his body had changed significantly.
The painful struggles of death row inmates.
Wu Ji pointed at Xu Fu at this time, "Okay, you Xu Fu actually dared to take such poison to His Majesty, what kind of crime should you be guilty of?"
Xu Fu glanced at him with disdain, and His Majesty looked at it patiently.
The death row inmate actually grew new hair, and the injuries were gone, and some people exclaimed.
When Ying Zheng heard this, sure enough, this death row prisoner actually became young and looked very energetic. He was getting more and more excited in his heart, so good.
The guards hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, but Yingzheng waved his hand and couldn't stop it.
The death row prisoner was bent on going home, and as soon as he arrived at the temple gate, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and the person was already out of breath.
"This ...... Xu Fu couldn't believe it, Your Majesty wasn't ......
Wu Ji and the others saw that His Majesty Xu Fu wanted to use this kind of elixir to murder His Majesty, which was a big rebellion.
Ying Zheng sat back on the dragon chair decadently, compared with the previous excitement, he was a little lost at this time.
Seeing this, Xu Fu continued to speak in order to gain a glimmer of life.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates have been on your expedition for many years, and they have never harmed Your Majesty, Your Majesty sent me to search outside for ten years, and my subordinates have repeatedly broken how many pairs. The sun and the moon can be seen from the heart, and Your Majesty must not listen to slander. ”
Only then did Ying Zheng come back to his senses and scolded, "Xu Fu, you are so bold, I sent you out to search ten years ago, didn't you keep assuring me that there is no problem with this elixir?"
Xu Fu lowered his head in shame, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this medicine has been touched by someone with a heart, Your Majesty will give me some time." ”
How can the dream of immortality be broken at will, Ying Zhengli looked directly at the other ministers of civil and military affairs, and pointed at these ministers, "You waste of eating kings, how are you better than Xu Fu? Xu Fu at least begged for me to do it, what about you? all day long, only know intrigues, don't think I don't know, what do you think in your hearts, I tell you that if anyone dares to stop my plan of immortality, I will let the people of the nine clans be buried with me!"
Hundreds of officials knelt down and trembled!
Ying Zheng turned around, "Xu Fu's death penalty can be avoided and it is difficult to escape the crime of living, and he will be sent to the prison to be dealt with." No one is allowed to visit Xu Fu without my permission, I have to ask him personally!"
After everyone left, Yingzheng looked a little lonely.
In the Hall of Eternal Life, Ying Zheng held his sword and danced, immortality is not allowed, what use do I want in this world, I can care about the life and death of others, but I can't care about my own life and death.
Ten days later, Xu Fu started refining medicine from scratch.
At this time, a person in a black robe with a ruined face came out from behind the scenes, and this person made people feel a little cold!
"Your Majesty, according to your order, your subordinates have already checked it. ”
Oh~, "What did Sin find?"
Your Majesty, as you expected, this matter is a little strange, I have checked the elixir, and none of the medicines used by Lord Xu have any toxins, but there is an extra agave in this refined elixir. This kind of medicine is very rare, only in the Western Regions, this medicine does not look like a change from the surface after being added, and it will not affect the properties of the medicine, but if it is taken alone and then exposed to water, the person will die through the intestines. ”
But there is another strange thing, your majesty wants to hear it?
Ying Zheng's face became murderous, "Said." ”
On that day, after the death row prisoner who was taking the pill was thrown into a mass grave, I have not seen any corrosive phenomenon in this corpse in the past few days, and even the crows have not come to eat his flesh, which is not surprising.
When Ying Zheng heard this, there were some fluctuations in his heart, is it really effective.
"Is that an elixir that can be destroyed?"
Your Majesty, except for one that I took for inspection, the rest have been destroyed!
"Give me that elixir, I'm going to find Xu Fu. ”
"Your Majesty," the man said, rolled his eyes.
After Xu Fu's improvement, although the pill is not toxic, it can only prolong life, and this medicine Yingzheng felt useless after taking it for the second time.
Ying Zheng knew that he might not be able to return to heaven by relying on pills, so he could only find another way, but the black-robed warlock behind the scenes found a method for Ying Zheng, that is, the technique at that time.
That is, after the death of Ying Zheng, the construction of a seven-star array This formation is recorded in the ancient book, Wen Chiyou and the pharaoh had a premonition that Chiyou will be defeated by the Yellow Emperor, so he built such a large array, if Chiyou is really killed, you can also rely on this array to return the soul against the sky.
Therefore, the tomb of Ying Zheng was built on it, and in order to ensure that its soul was hooked away, he sent people to build terracotta warriors and horses, and let people with dragons and phoenixes accompany the burial to protect him.
When the seven stars return to their positions, the big array will be opened, and the vision will be born, then the big array can seize the heavens and the earth, and Yingzheng will come back to life.
Sure enough, Ying Zheng of the Ninety-Five Emperor couldn't fight the sky, and he died not long after, and the cemetery that he had ordered to build slowly stopped moving, but the poisonous pill contained in Ying Zheng's mouth melted into his body.
It is rumored that the soul of Yingzheng sent someone to lock the soul of Yingzheng back to the underworld, but as soon as he arrived at the cemetery, he was frightened away by the formation of the Seven Stars Returning to the Heavenly Array.
Buried in the ground with Ying Zheng are the Yin Divine Beast of the Coffin, as well as the souls of tens of millions of troops, as well as the sword next to his tomb, the Luhu Sword, which was cast by the swordsmith Ouyang Xuntianwaishi. This sword has only been used three times in his life, once when Yingzheng made the princes unify the world with a sword, and once when the heaven and earth descended auspicious rui when the light was opened. Once was when Ying Zheng was assassinated, the fish intestine sword used by Jing Ke was split into two pieces by a sword.
But these are also rumors, and I also listen to folklore, after all, I haven't heard of Yingzheng coming back to life after living for more than 40 years.
Think about it, such a large cemetery, even if he wakes up, whether he can get out is still one thing, and the workers involved in the construction have all been killed in the tomb.
At this time, there is a simple wooden house in a deep mountain, and not far away you can see the faint fire light from the hole, and the old and the young in front of the firewood, the picture is very warm.
"Grandpa, how did you know this story?"
Hahaha, the man peeled the hair off his cheeks, and under the reflection of the firelight, a scar with the word prison was shocking.
Huang Tian was taken aback, grandpa your face.
The old man's old face was a little old, and his silver hair made him look a little distressed.
Hahaha, I'm the death row inmate. Yingzheng's guy cheapened me!
The old man flicked the firewood and looked at his grandson, "Actually, I still don't understand your identity, but to be born in that kind of place, it is indispensable to be the heirs of some dignitaries." ”
Grandpa, are you saying I picked it up at the palace?
Wang Gusheng shook his head, sighed, and continued.
"After leaving the mass grave, I went back to look at my parents, and learned that they were also implicated by Ying Zhengzhu and the nine clans, and they all died, speaking of this, Wang Gusheng's face was hateful, and his face was a little distorted. ”
Grandpa, Huang Tian is afraid......
Wang Gusheng patted his thigh, look at my Yingzheng is also dead, I have already let go of this hatred, don't be afraid. If you don't want to hear grandpa, don't talk about it.
Huang Tian shook his head, Grandpa, I want to know.
Because of Yingzheng's affairs, all ordinary people who are over eighty years old will be arrested, and it is estimated that it is for those warlocks to study, so in order not to be discovered, I will hide!"
I remember that after Ying Zheng's death, I hid in a mountain forest buried by Ying Zheng, I don't know how long I lived, my perception limit has come, and I feel that my body is not as good as before.
I felt frightened and frightened when my hair turned gray overnight, and I was old and frail, so I could only live by paying tribute to the cemetery of Yingzheng.
Because of the fear of the prestige of the First Emperor, despite all the years after his death, few people dared to be presumptuous in his cemetery.
So I often come out at night, and during the day I hide in the forest not far from the tomb of Emperor Qin and refuse to go out.
Suddenly one day there was a thunderclap in the sky, and the wind was raging, and there was no shelter on this mountain, and I was hungry and unbearably hungry, so I went in search of food. Walked to the place three miles away from the cemetery, from the distance of the sky came dark clouds, blocked in the sky, the clouds were like a dragon swimming, the sky descended a strange beam, I felt something strange, I hid to the side and looked at the sky, but there was a sound in my ears, a thunder from top to bottom, seeing that it was about to be split, I began to run, it is strange to say, the thunder did not split me but came to the Qin tomb not far away, and then I heard the cry of a baby not far away, I didn't think much about it, kept rushing to that place, in a corner of the mausoleum, I found you。
You say it's not strange, when you saw me, you stopped crying and smiled at me, the ground was so cold, I took off my clothes and I quickly wrapped you.
Then the tomb began to shake, and the clouds dispersed, and something made a loud noise, and my feet began to collapse, and light came out of the ground, and it was very blinding. I hugged you tightly but I couldn't move my body and my eyes couldn't open.
I don't know how long, when I opened my eyes and found that I was no longer in Yingzheng's mausoleum, and looked at you beside me, I was anxious, looked around, and found that I was lying on a farmer's bed.
Fortunately, this kind farmer was rescued, otherwise you and I would not have survived!
After a long time, after getting acquainted with them, we survived by relying on them.
However, when I asked them where and when this was the rule, they said that they didn't know, only that this place was called Canglong Continent.
They had no children, only one daughter, so at that time, in order for you to survive, I gave you two children to be.
