Chapter 104: The King is blessed with great fortune and has the qualifications to become an immortal
When the chamberlain finished reading all the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng looked down at the alchemists below and said, "Do you know the sin?"
Some The alchemist was about to confess when he heard a voice: "I don't know!"
Is this voice Xu Fu?
There are just a few alchemists who occasionally exchange their experiences on refining elixirs for immortality. They all know each other, especially Xu Fu, who is the best among them.
Hearing Xu Fu's voice, the alchemists who wanted to confess stopped their movements and closed their mouths again. After confessing, there was no turning back, so it was better to listen to what Xu Fu said first.
Wouldn’t it be better if Xu Fu could be exonerated?
Seeing that the person speaking was Xu Fu, Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes imperceptibly, but did not make any move. His eyes calmly fell on Xu Fu and asked: "The evidence is conclusive, why don't you know?"< br>
Xu Fu didn't seem to feel the pressure in Ying Zheng's eyes at all. At this time, he must not panic or show his cowardice. If he panics, it will be all over. He said calmly: "It is not appropriate for your Majesty to feed chickens and mice with the elixir prepared by my ministers!"
Seeing that Ying Zheng did not interrupt him, Xu Fu spoke eloquently: "The elixir prepared by my ministers and others is taken from the spirit of heaven and earth. It is made by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon. It is a thing worthy of gods and immortals. Only people like the king who have deep blessings and can become immortals can take it. Otherwise, it will lead to disaster and life will not be saved..."
"Ordinary people can no longer tolerate it, let alone ordinary animals such as chickens and mice, which have even less blessings and cannot tolerate it. If they are forced to take it, it will only cause disasters to enter the body, cause frequent illnesses, and eventually lose their lives."
Xu Fu said it plausibly and with a firm look on his face. After all, if you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself. If you don’t believe it yourself, why do you want others to believe it? At least put on a show.
Especially if you want to deceive the person in front of you, you have to put on a show, otherwise you will end up disastrous!
Ying Zheng looked at Xu Fu and saw that he was calm and calm, with an expression that said, "That's the truth. Your Majesty has wronged us." He couldn't help but said, "If I hadn't watched these chickens and rats getting worse every day, Also, I learned from Li Nian that you took the three thousand boys and girls given by me to seek immortality overseas and never returned. I couldn’t believe it! ’
Xu Fu’s performance was so good, his tone was calm and firm, as if what he said was the truth, and at the same time, he also reflected the grievance of being wronged: I am loyal to the king in making elixirs, but the king is suspicious of the king.
Ying Zheng thought that Li Nian had said that he died suddenly during his fifth eastward tour in the thirty-seventh year of the Qin Dynasty. Although Li Nian did not explain in detail why he died, he guessed that it was probably caused by taking alchemy pills for many years.
Because these chickens and mice were not poisoned to death in one day, but they took the elixir every day and died after a certain period of time.
It means that the poison of the elixir will first accumulate in the body, and when it accumulates to a certain level, it will completely kill people.
As for the person Li Nian said in history, he must have eaten an unknown number of elixirs without Li Nian’s reminder. The poison of the elixirs accumulated in his body was probably terrifying, and it suddenly attacked and claimed his life. This is not impossible.
‘If this matter is true, wouldn’t Li Nian still be my savior? ’
These thoughts flashed through Ying Zheng's mind. He did not immediately comment on what Xu Fu said. Instead, he looked at the other alchemists and asked calmly: "Do you also think like this?"
Your Majesty What does this mean? Do you believe what Xu Fu said, or do you not believe what Xu Fu said?
All the alchemists murmured in their hearts, wondering what Ying Zheng wanted to do, but they seemed to have no more choices now: not to mention the poor fortune of chickens and mice, who could not enjoy the elixir, how could they have to admit the elixir itself? Have a question?
Two alchemists said: "Your Majesty, what Xu Sheng said is true. The elixir is made of the essence of heaven and earth. Chickens and rats cannot enjoy it."
Ying Zheng looked at the speaker. The two alchemists, and two "old acquaintances", were Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng whom Li Nian mentioned in "Burning Books and Trapping Confucians". Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng took the lead, and other alchemists also spoke one after another: "Elixirs are the medicine that can lead to immortality and transformation. Only those with profound blessings and the resources to become immortals can take it."
An alchemist even said in a heartbroken tone, "Your Majesty, you are a waste of natural resources": "It's not easy to refine the elixir, but you, Your Majesty, do it with chickens and mice..."
It is indeed not easy. For the sake of the elixir, he He invested too much in various rare medicinal materials and ores, as well as heavy rewards for these alchemists, but what they gave him in return were poisonous pills, and until now, they still want to continue to deceive him.
It's obviously their fault, but they still say it's my fault. It's my fault that I wrongly blamed them. What a bunch of shameless people!
Especially when I think of what Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng said behind his back, they clearly knew that there were no immortals in the world and they ran away because they couldn't make the elixir. Instead, they said it was for the good of the world and they didn't want to give it to him. Refining the elixir of immortality prevents him from escaping after attaining immortality and causing harm to the world.
How shameless!
Ying Zheng's heart was filled with murderous intent. If Li Nian hadn't mentioned that these alchemists were still useful, he would have wanted to exterminate the three tribes of these people, punish them all with five punishments, and cut off the city in half.
Suppressing his murderous intention for the time being, Ying Zheng asked: "Excuse me, everyone, are there really immortals in the world, and is there really an elixir of immortality?"
The king even knows that there are immortals and elixirs of immortality in the world. Starting to have doubts?
This is not possible!
Believing that there are immortals and elixirs of immortality in the world is the foundation of their survival.
Xu Fu immediately said: "Your Majesty, there are immortals in the world. Not to mention the ancient legend that Chang'e stole the elixir of immortality, King Mu of Zhou traveled west to meet the immortals, and there were three immortal mountains overseas. ”
“One is called Penglai, one is called abbot, and the other is called In Yingzhou, some people have seen the appearance of a fairy mountain, where immortals live, eat the clouds and eat the energy, and they will live forever. "
What happened today made Xu Fu feel that he could not stay in this palace any longer. If he could survive it. In today's disaster, he must find a way to escape and never come back.
This King of Qin became even more terrifying. He gave pills to chickens and mice when they had no idea, and suddenly attacked them. Who knows what might happen next time?
If he stayed any longer, Xu Fu felt that even if he had the life to take money from King Qin, he would not have the life to spend it!
After hearing what Xu Fu said, Ying Zheng seemed to be interested. He stared at Xu Fu and asked, "Will you be willing to search for the three fairy islands of Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou overseas for me?" The immortal on the island asked for the elixir? "
When Ying Zheng said these words, Xu Fu was not happy at all, but felt scared.
Because he mentioned the Three Immortals Island overseas, his purpose was to propose to Ying Zheng that he was willing to seek immortality overseas for Ying Zheng, take the opportunity to defraud a large amount of rewards from Ying Zheng, and then escape.
But before he revealed what he meant, Ying Zheng had already spoken out what he was thinking. How could he not feel scared?
Moreover, how did King Qin know what he wanted to say next? What else did King Qin know?
The reason behind this makes Xu Fu even more frightened!
The King of Qin is attacking them today. He must come prepared, but I am afraid it will be difficult to escape intact!
Xu Fu is a top-notch smart man. He suddenly thought of this, but now that the matter has come to this, there is no way to turn back. He can only say calmly and calmly: "I am willing to share the worries of the king!"
I copied a great person who said, thank you, thank you!
