The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 93 Longevity Pill

The cellar is not that big, one or two hundred square meters. It is said that it is a small ice cellar that has been prepared. It has been empty for the time being without storing ice cubes, and it is just used for experiments.

Chen Jingke ordered many scarecrows to be put on and stood in the cellar with armor on them.

As soon as it was ready here, Ren Feng sent the big baby over.

Li Shimin looked at the iron bumps with tortoise patterns on the heads of the two babies, and said, "Is this the baby you mentioned?"

As he spoke, he picked up one and weighed it in his hand.

Chen Jingke's eyelids twitched wildly when he saw it, and he hurried over to snatch it carefully, and said: "My lord, if you miss, none of us in this circle will be able to escape, and we will all confess here."

Li Shimin obviously didn't believe it, is this thing so dangerous?

"Okay, the things are brought, you can do the experiment quickly, I want to see how powerful it can make you so nervous."

Chen Jingke took one to the cellar and put it among the dummies, lit the fuze and ran out, closing the door habitually after going out.

He ran outside and said nervously: "Stay far away, be careful of accidental injury. The sound will be very loud later, just like a thunderstorm in a drought, so be mentally prepared."

Seeing him like this, Li Shimin didn't dare to be careless, and retreated a few feet away.

For safety reasons, Chen Jingke left a relatively long lead wire, so there was no movement for a while.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden movement the next moment.

"Boom!!!" A thunderous voice sounded, and the ground under his feet trembled.The thick wooden door was shattered and flew seven or eight meters away, and a puff of gunpowder smoke emerged from the cellar.

Li Shimin's face changed drastically, Ren Feng and the others were also terrified, but they rushed over to protect him immediately.

Chen Jingke was also very surprised, the power of this black powder must be too great.

Didn't I just adopt the most scientific formula and granulate it... Do you want to be so fierce, you are black powder.

In fact, he knew in his heart that the reason why it was so powerful was directly related to the confined space.

It's just that he didn't expect the effect to be so obvious. To put it bluntly, he still underestimated the power of black powder.

He sneaked a glance at Li Shimin, who couldn't hide his frightened look, well, the effect of scaring this man was ideal.

After regaining his senses, Li Shimin immediately grabbed him and asked, "Is this the movement caused by your iron lump?"

Chen Jingke could understand his feelings, and said: "Yes, this thing is called a bomb, and it is made of black..."

"Shut up." Li Shimin interrupted him, glanced around, and said, "If a word of today's incident gets out, it will be the Yi tribe."

Ren Feng and the others tightened their expressions, and said, "Here."

Li Shimin glanced at the bomb on the ground again, remembering his reckless operation just now, the corner of his mouth twitched.

He gave Chen Jingke a vicious look, and said, "Ren Feng, take care of it, don't let anyone get close."

Ren Feng hurriedly said: "Here."

Then he arranged for someone to go down to check it out, and after making sure it was safe, he went down to the cellar first, and Chen Jingke hurriedly followed behind.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strong smell of gunpowder smoke, and he subconsciously covered his mouth and nose.

Entering inside, more than a dozen dummies have been blasted to pieces, with charred pieces of wood everywhere, and the armor on the dummies has also been broken.

Li Shimin picked up a breast shield, which had several holes pierced through it, and a piece of broken iron was inlaid on it.

Despite speculation about what was going on inside, seeing him in person was a shock.

If you throw it in the crowd, you can't even think about it.

This is indeed a big baby.

Li Shimin didn't say much, and left first after the inspection, went outside and said: "Ren Feng, you clean this place up and erase all traces yourself."

Then he walked to another bomb and picked it up carefully, both trembling and excited in his heart, he had already begun to think about how to use it in the military.

Back in the study, Li Shimin looked at the iron bump on the table and asked, "Tell me, what is this?"

Chen Jingke said: "This thing is called a bomb. It has a cast iron shell on the outside, and the tortoise pattern is to facilitate the production of fragments...the inside is gunpowder..."

"Wait." Li Shimin interrupted him: "Isn't gunpowder used in Taoist alchemy?"

Chen Jingke thought about it and said: "The elixir of immortality does not exist at all. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the norms of heaven. If you can live forever by taking medicine, wouldn't everyone in the world be able to become a fairy?"

"The so-called Longevity Pills are all deceitful, especially if gold and mercury are used as medicine, it is like taking chronic poison."

"These elixirs not only harm one's own body, but also pass the toxins on to the offspring... causing difficulty and even extinction of the offspring, and they have to adopt the children of other bloodlines to inherit the clan."

"This kind of thing happened frequently in the former Han Dynasty. Your Majesty will know it by just looking through the history books. It is better to go to bed early and get up early, eat well and drink well, and maintain a good attitude to eat elixir for longevity."

When mentioning the ancient Taoist priests refining longevity pills, he felt dizzy for a while.This stuff has too much to do with it, and if it is exposed, it will offend a large number of people, and it will have a huge impact on the entire Taoism.

But fortunately, after the new medical theory was put forward, Sun Simiao had already started to compile the new Danjing, and he would quietly complete the work of stealing the beam and changing the post, so as to minimize the influence.

And he has already planned to use the new alchemy to incorporate the outer alchemy faction.

As for the Neidan faction, it will take hundreds of years to grow, and it is estimated that it is still in its infancy.

Hearing these words, Li Shimin's expression was uncertain: "Is there really no longevity pill?"

Chen Jingke knew that Emperor Taizong was also an addicted user of Changsheng Pill, and the cause of death was likely to be poisoned to death after eating the so-called elixir given by a monk from Tianzhu.

Although he is not obsessed with this way yet, but telling him that the longevity pill does not exist, it is estimated that he will not be able to accept this reality for a while.

"What do you think of the medicines I brought, His Majesty?"

Li Shimin said: "The magic medicine, especially the adrenaline, is a life-saving medicine."

Chen Jingke said: "The person who made adrenaline can't make longevity pills. Do you think those Taoist priests can make it with copper stoves?"

There are clear examples for comparison, which completely broke some of Li Shimin's extravagant hopes.But still unwillingly said: "If you don't seek longevity, you can't prolong your life?"

Chen Jingke breathed a sigh of relief. Li Shimin was in his prime, and he had no sense of urgency for birth, old age, illness and death, and this was the best time to persuade him.

Instilling him with scientific health preservation every day should dispel his obsession with longevity.

If he was old and frail in another ten years, he would not believe the evidence, or he would not believe it, even if he put the evidence in front of him.

Thinking of this, he quickly said: "It is possible to prolong life, but it does not rely on any elixir but medical skills. Only the advancement of medical skills can solve various diseases and prolong people's lifespan."

"People who make adrenaline have been able to extend the prime of life to 60 years old, and the life expectancy is generally over 80 years old. It is not impossible to live a hundred years old."

"It's just that the research of medical skills is a long process, and sometimes it takes two to 30 years to see the effect. But once it is harvested, it will definitely bring huge returns."

"If your Majesty wants to live a long and healthy life, you should raise your status as a doctor and pay attention to the research of medical skills. It is best to start researching now, so that you can just enjoy the benefits of the advancement of medical skills in ten years."
