Chapter 244 Chapter [-] The Curse of Longevity
According to legend, many emperors were keen to study the way of longevity when they were old. They wanted to be immortal, and they did not hesitate to spend a lot of manpower and material resources, but in the end it was nothing.

Among them, the most famous one is Qin Shihuang. In addition to making people refine elixirs, he also sent a team of 3000 people to find the elixir of life overseas. The leader of the team was a guy named Xu Fu, but he never returned.

And more emperors like to practice Taoist clothing pills, and Taoist priests with Taoist bone and fairy style become guests and receive great courtesy, while normal doctors are not taken seriously.

In ancient times, Taoist alchemists liked lead and mercury, because it contained the meaning of eternity, and if they took that kind of elixir for a long time, problems would naturally occur in the body. Most emperors would not listen to the advice of ordinary doctors and stop taking it, but would raise The doctor who suggested beheaded him directly, thinking that he had ulterior motives.

So as soon as Li Wuchang came to the room and saw the patient and the Taoist priest, his thoughts changed and he felt that something was wrong.

The big man in front of him is probably the person who tested the medicine, and it should be the same in other rooms, so I will leave it to other doctors to see.

I don't know if the emperor has fallen into it yet, but the emperor must have thought, otherwise there wouldn't be so many Taoist priests in the palace, and there are also people who take pills for a long time.

Li Wuchang didn't want to be an early bird, so when the old man asked him about the situation of middle-aged people, he said he couldn't see through.

At this time, if you rely on your medical skills to make nonsense, you may be left behind to do research, and you may even offend the Taoist priests, and you will not have a good life at that time.

Li Wuchang was not so naive as to think that one or two words would change anything. If the emperor had such thoughts, it would be useless to anyone.

In terms of longevity, Li Wuchang can still do his best, but longevity is simply a fantasy.

No one can stop the invasion of the years.

"Can't see through?" The old man frowned after hearing Li Wuchang's words.

"Yes, my lord, the younger generation is really ignorant, I don't know if this uncle is sick." Li Wuchang replied respectfully.

Hearing this, the old man looked at the old Taoist priest beside him.

The old Taoist priest is over 70 years old, with white beard and hair, and ruddy complexion. He is really a Taoist fairy. At this moment, he said, "It's normal that this little friend can't see through, because he doesn't practice Taoism."

Then pointing to the middle-aged man, he said: "But what you said is right, this person looks ill from his face, but he is full of energy from his pulse condition, this is a normal phenomenon after taking the elixir, it is called metamorphosis. "

Not loud, but infectious.

Metamorphosis?

Grandma is a bear, this old magic stick, Li Wuchang cursed in his heart.

The other old man nodded, looked at Li Wuchang, and asked, "I heard that you have a lot of experience in the study of elixir. I remember that the Li family has a elixir that specializes in treating internal injuries. It is said that you refined it?"

Li Wuchang took a deep breath and said: "That's true. But the junior has a lot of experience in alchemy, the junior is ashamed, just combined several other medicines for internal injuries, and mixed it a little bit. I thought I would try it casually. Thinking of it, it has a little effect, it can be regarded as a blind cat meeting a dead mouse."

The old man nodded and said, "Look at the elixir first."

Then hand over a wooden box.

Li Wuchang took the wooden box, opened it, and a big black and translucent elixir appeared in front of his eyes, which was similar to the lead and mercury balls he imagined. Just by smelling the smell, he could tell that there were a lot of precious medicinal materials in it.

At that moment, he pretended to pick up the elixir, looked left and right for a while, then smelled it carefully, and then put it down.

"How?" Seeing that Li Wuchang had finished watching, the old man asked immediately.

"I don't see anything famous about it, but after hearing about the elixir, this junior knows that there must be a lot of precious medicinal materials in it, like a great tonic, so I can't tell the specifics." Li Wuchang chose his words carefully.

The old man nodded slightly, then took out another wooden box and handed it to Li Wuchang, saying: "Look at the prescription."

Then he bowed his hands to the old Taoist priest with a strong and immortal style, and said: "Don't blame the Taoist priest, the matter is very important, and Lu must be careful, and see if there is any improvement. This little friend is still a little bit capable." , has cured several intractable diseases.”

The old Taoist's face remained unchanged, and he hummed.

Li Wuchang was stunned for a moment when he heard the old man's words.

Someone Lu?
Is it royal?

At this age, could it be that he is the emperor's cousin or something?
People like this go out in person, it seems that the emperor should be very concerned about refining elixir.

Li Wuchang pondered secretly, quite shocked in his heart.

Thinking of this, Li Wuchang took the wooden box, picked up the prescription, and slowly read it.

The prescription only listed some precious medicinal materials. As for the dosage, the refining process was not mentioned, and it took a long time to put it down.

"How is it? Is there anything you want to say?" the old man muttered.

"Excuse me, junior, is this a medicine for health preservation?" Li Wuchang directly followed the prescription, which is considered outspoken. With so many precious medicinal materials, it is not wrong to say health preservation.

The old man stared at Li Wuchang, his eyes lit up, and said: "Do you have research on health preservation?"

Li Wuchang's face remained unchanged, he waved his hands, and said, "This junior is just guessing. This junior may be able to come up with a few ideas for some common injuries, but he doesn't know anything about health preservation. Seeing that there are so many precious medicinal materials in the prescription, he is so bold." Guess, as far as this junior knows, health preservation is a very profound knowledge, and many old doctors can only accumulate such a little knowledge after years, and this junior is still too immature, and there is no famous teacher to guide, it is a wild way, senior forgive me."

"That's what old man Song said back then..." the old man whispered.

Although the voice was small, Li Wuchang was startled when he heard it.

Old man Song?

Could it be Doctor Song?
Li Wuchang wondered to himself, could it be that the genius doctor Song also came to visit and found out the clues, but he didn't dare to say anything, and knew it was useless to raise it, so he simply ran out of Chang'an?

At this moment, the old Taoist said: "What my little friend said is true! The knowledge of health preservation is extensive and profound, and it takes years to accumulate. It is not the case for cultivating Taoism. If you have talent, and supplemented with Taoist medicine, it will not take long. Just a mere health preservation is not a problem."

Li Wuchang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This old guy knows how to find an opportunity to speak.

The old man nodded slightly and remained silent.

After a while, the old man said: "Li Wuchang, you go down first."

Li Wuchang calmed down, cupped his hands, and immediately withdrew, heaving a sigh of relief.

"Master Li, please!" There was a little eunuch and several guards outside the door. Seeing that Li Wuchang had come out, the little eunuch closed the door carefully, and then led Li Wuchang out of the side hall.

Li Wuchang scanned the surroundings a little. The side hall is very big, and every ten feet there are several burly guards guarding the door of a room, presumably it is the room of other doctors.

The hall is very quiet now.

Li Wuchang walked out and followed the little eunuch for a certain distance, his heart moved, he gathered his mind, and worked his whole body, wanting to listen to the movement in the room.

Sure enough, the old Taoist made a sound.

"...It's normal for non-cultivators not to see the wonder of this elixir. The key is that His Majesty has made up his mind to cultivate Taoism in the future, and with the help of elixir, there will be success..."

Alas, it is true.

Determined?

Grandma a bear.

"Little eunuch, thank you very much. May I ask what should I do next? Can I leave the palace? To tell you the truth, I haven't had a good rest for a day." After leaving the side hall, Li Wuchang took out a silver ticket and handed it to little eunuch.

Li Wuchang didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. If he was not careful, he might lose his life. Now he just wants to get out of the palace quickly, and he doesn't even bother to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the palace.

"Grandpa Li has worked hard, you can leave the palace now, please follow me." The little eunuch took the silver ticket with a very respectful expression.

After walking a long way back, Li Wuchang heard a commotion coming from the side hall which was already far away, so he immediately pricked up his ears and concentrated his mind.

He currently has the strength of the sixth grade elementary level, and his eyes and ears are extraordinary.

The intermittent words coming out of the side hall in the distance are not very clear.

"...The disaster of longevity, the disaster of longevity, don't believe in these monsters..."

"Bold, how dare you confuse the crowd with evil words, slander the old gods, disturb the audience, come here, drag me down!"

……

Li Wuchang's scalp was numb, he hurriedly practiced his kung fu, and quickened his pace, he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he was far away.

Grandma is a bear, fortunately she came out early, otherwise I don't know what will happen.

"Master Li, how was the exchange today?" The money-grubbing father-in-law greeted him.

"Well, I can't learn anything. I looked at a middle-aged man, a pill, and a prescription, but I didn't see anything. Then I came out with this little father-in-law. The other doctors should be better than me. By the way, what about them, why didn't I see any of the doctors?" Li Wuchang briefly explained the situation, and asked other doctors about it.

Just be normal.

The greedy father-in-law smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just an ordinary exchange, so you don't have to take it to heart. As for the other doctors, some have already left, and some are still discussing in the side hall."

Li Wuchang nodded, and murmured: "That's right. It seems that there are many people whose medical skills are better than mine. It's true that there are heavens and people outside the sky and people outside the sky."

The greedy father-in-law continued: "Today is just an ordinary internal communication. Lord Li read a prescription and then expressed some opinions. Do you think it is appropriate?"

It seems to be unified.

Li Wuchang smiled and said: "It's suitable, it's too suitable, I'm still thinking about how to save face, it's better for my father-in-law to be considerate."

Then he took out a bank note and said in a low voice: "I hope my father-in-law will take care of it for me. Don't talk about such a shameful thing. Anyway, I also have the nickname of a little genius doctor, but I didn't notice anything."

The money-hungry father-in-law took the banknote, laughed, and said, "My lord is so funny."

Li Wuchang really admired this father-in-law, the action of receiving the bank note was natural, there was no trace at all, if it is considered a grade, it is definitely a peak of the ninth rank.

Then continue to follow the little father-in-law and walk out of the palace.

"It's really hot, it's almost a big event!" Li Wuchang said to himself.

Jiang Minglun and Zhao Xun came over immediately, they had been waiting outside the palace, and they were very excited to see that Li Wuchang had come out unharmed.

"It's nothing, just casually exchanged medical experience with a few doctors, let's go back." Li Wuchang waved his hand.

Of course Jiang Minglun and Zhao Xun knew that things would not be that simple, but they didn't ask any further questions.
