People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1370 Life Extension Pill? Five stones scattered!
The night falls at the foot of Songshan Mountain.

A black carriage quickly headed towards the mountainside of Songshan Mountain, escorted by a whole team of black cavalry in front and behind.

The cold wind blew and the black curtain swayed.

Under the cold moon, it was now clear that the entire carriage was shrouded in black cloth.

Beside the road, in a closed wine shop, a pair of cold eyes looked at everything sternly.

The moonlight swept across, and a trace of scarlet flashed at the bottom of his eyes.

The scarlet color disappeared, and a trace of doubt suddenly appeared in the cold eyes.

The next moment, Leng Yan had closed his eyes, and a figure lay down silently behind the window.

In the cage on the other side, there is a wild cat.

In an instant, the invisible wind blew up and flew directly out of the window. In an instant, it had flown to the side of the carriage, and then flew extremely gently from the bottom of the black cloth into the carriage.

A pair of cold eyes suddenly looked over from the front, but everything was as usual and they didn't notice anything. Then they turned around and looked at the mountain road ahead.

The moon is slanting like a hook and the earth is dark. Even on the groomed mountain roads, you need to be cautious.

……

Inside the carriage, a pair of eyes slowly opened at this time.

Li Chong was not dead. This was something Leng Yan never expected.

He originally thought that after Li Chong was sentenced to death in Chang'an, his body was sent to Luoyang.

Unexpectedly, the emperor also played the trick of the golden cicada escaping from its shell.

The person sentenced to death in Chang'an was not Li Chong at all, but another substitute death row prisoner.

After the news of his death spread, Li Chong completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

But by chance, he was sent out of Chang'an and sent to Luoyang quietly.

Li Chong's body was now paralyzed, his consciousness was completely comatose, and his body was forcibly occupied by others. However, outside, he was sent to Songshan Mountain, to a place where the furnace was ready.

This makes people have to think more. Li Chong was sent to the mountain while he was alive, but what about King Cao Li Ming?

According to official documents from the imperial court, Li Ming died in Qianzhou in September.

If we follow Li Chong's example, then Li Ming most likely did not die in Qianzhou. The person who died in Qianzhou was just a substitute. The real him has been sent to Songshan.

He died in Songshan.

If Li Ming is like this, what about Li Zhen and Wu Chengsi in the future?

Li Zhen was sent to Anzhou for resettlement. No one cared about his life or death. Li Ming was the precedent. Li Zhen was dead.

And it was far outside the hearts of Chang'an and Luoyang, so actually not many people would care about how Li Zhen died.

This situation gives others room to maneuver.

It seemed that he died in Anzhou, but in fact he was secretly sent to Songshan.

Of course Li Zhen could not escape death, but what about Wu Chengsi?

Wu Chengsi was inspecting Henan, Hebei, and Andong. There were high mountains and countless rivers in between. Is it really going to happen as Li Xuan guessed, and one of them fell into the water and died?
If you slip and fall into the water, you are giving others room to maneuver.

A fake corpse was made and thrown into the river to replace it, while the real person was sent to Songshan Mountain and disemboweled...

"Li Chong" was sitting in the carriage. Although he couldn't see everything outside, he could still feel the direction he was going.

When we reached the mountainside, we did not go straight up to a higher place, but drove directly into the dry forest on the side.

After passing through the dead forest, a path spread by dead grass appeared in the field of vision.

That is to say, it is winter now. If it were summer, this road would not even lead to getting lost.

……

Follow the path toward the mountain, heading straight to the south side of Songshan Mountain.

The middle peak stands tall, blocking the view of the northern peak where Li Xuan originally lived.

Soon after, the carriage finally arrived a hundred meters away from the top of the mountain.

A waterline fell straight down from the peak into a blue lake.

There is a stone palace standing by the lake with its back against the mountain peak, and the rock behind it is like cutting.

Zhongyue Songshan, Shaoshishan and Jietian Peak are the highest, while the other mountains are somewhat blocked from view.

The place was chosen cleverly, so even if they were specifically looking for it, very few people would be able to find it.

The carriage stopped and the curtains were raised.

A general covered in black armor waved his hand, and two soldiers stepped forward to lift Li Chong down.

At this moment, a middle-aged solemn Taoist priest wearing a black Taoist robe walked out of the stone hall with an expressionless face.

Looking at the unconscious Langya King Li Chong, the middle-aged Taoist priest lamented in his eyes, turned one palm over and chanted to himself in a low voice: "Immeasurable Ten Directions save the God of Suffering."

"Master Zhong, this man is just like before. He will be executed according to the law without any worries. Please cherish your time." After the black-armored general finished speaking, he waved his hand. The next moment, all the black-armored cavalry had turned around and headed down the mountain.

In the blink of an eye, only the green lake, the stone palace, the Taoist priest and Li Chong were left on the mountain.

"The Great Sage, the Great Merciful One, the Great Compassionate One, the Great Vow, transforms the name of the ten directions to save all sentient beings. During billions of kalpas, he saves countless people. He searches for his voice and expresses his feelings. Taiyi saves the suffering Heavenly Lord."

Zhong Daoshi closed his eyes and sighed, then grabbed Li Chong's belt and carried him directly into the hall.

……

In the main hall, immeasurable light and heat instantly flooded into sight.

A furnace cauldron that is as tall as one person sits on a stone platform, with a young man on each side filling it with a large piece of firewood every two quarters of an hour.

There seemed to be reflections in the cauldron, which attracted people's attention, but they didn't dare to pay too much attention.

There is a skylight in the roof above, and the heat reaches the sky from the skylight. The clever design makes the entire stone hall not stuffy.

Daoshi Zhong glanced at the furnace indifferently, and then walked into the side hall.

The side hall on the right is where the disciples and sundries are accumulated, and the side hall on the left is where Zhongdao people and various medicinal herbs are placed. In addition, there are...

With a "squeak" sound, a secret door suddenly opened, and immediately, Taoist Zhong had already carried Li Chong in. The candle was lit, it was a small stone room.

There are two grottoes on each side, and the top grotto on the left has been completely sealed.

There is a long table in front, with an incense burner full of ashes on the table, and a portrait in front of it.

His hair is in a bun, his beard is longer than his abdomen, he holds a banana fan, his face is kind, he is dressed in a wide robe, surrounded by clouds and mist, and he looks like an immortal.

Zhong Liquan, the ancestor of Zhong Daoshi.

Taoist Zhong sighed softly, then picked up three incense sticks, lit them, held them up, bowed three times, and said silently in his heart. After a while, he inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner.

Taking a step back, Taoist Zhong picked up Langya King Li Chong again and put it into the grotto on the lower left side.

Immediately, the sharp sword finger struck Li Chong's wrist.

The next moment, bright red blood had flowed into the small urn below.

Facing Li Chong, Daoshi Zhong bowed deeply, then turned and left the secret room.

With a "squeak" sound, the secret door closed.

It was at this time that "Li Chong" slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of doubts.

Zhong Daoren seemed to be different from what he expected.

He originally thought that Zhong Daoren was a Maoshan Taoist priest with good cultivation, but when he got closer, he discovered that although Zhong Daoren's cultivation was not bad, it was not that high, and it was even higher than his own cultivation without Yang Shen. Much different.

In Taoist practice, a slight difference can make a world of difference.

Yang Shen finally floated up and landed in front of Zhong Liquan's portrait.

Although this portrait has been passed down for a long time, there is nothing special about it, it is just an ordinary portrait.

Even under the years, the mottled and cracked edges are clearly visible.

If you look closely, you can find that this portrait is actually very dry.

Yang Shen shook his head, bowed deeply, then stood up and looked around.

There are four grottoes in the entire secret room, one of which has been sealed. One glance at Li Chong in the second grotto, and he knew that the person in the first grotto must be King Cao Li Ming.

It's just that Li Ming, like Li Chong, was in a coma, had his wrists cut and bled, and eventually bled to death.

His internal organs were still intact, and nothing had been disemboweled or removed.

This is completely different from the five internal organs alchemy method mentioned by Lu Zhaolin.

Just as he originally thought, Zhong Daoren is a vicious, cold-blooded demon who refines life-extending elixirs from other people's internal organs to seduce him.

But now it seems that this person is far from that.

Although Li Chong will bleed to death immediately like Li Ming, he will eventually die normally, and dying in a coma is many times better than being hanged.

The compassionate heart of this man now made Yang Shen doubt the whole thing.

This Zhong Taoist, has his family's method been lost or dispersed?

If not, why should we use human lives to fill it?

Looking up, Yang Shen had already passed through the secret room through the gap and arrived at the pharmacy outside.

Zhong Daoren has already gone to the main hall to watch the fire. Now it is time for him to come and check out what this so-called life-extending pill is.

The internal organs and innate energy are not used, but these medicines are the main ingredients. Even if they are scattered and scattered everywhere, he can still analyze what kind of medicine they are with his method.

The body is elegant, and you can smell it carefully.

Ginseng, velvet antler, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, Tianshan snow lotus, all of them are naturally available.

There is no shortage of other poria, astragalus, pearls, and cordyceps, but what really caught his attention were stalactites, sulfur, white quartz, amethyst quartz, and red stone, which also weighed heavily.

There are even small amounts of copperstone, silver and gold.

Although everything is mixed, Yang Shen has now completely determined what kind of elixir Zhong Daoren is refining.

Zhong Lu Yan Ming Dan was certainly true, but the missing parts of the prescription were not filled with human life. Instead, Wu Shi Powder was used to blend it, and a little gold and silver were added to confuse it.

Life extension pill, five stone powder.

Good means, good means.

Yang Shen couldn't help but laugh ridiculously.

Even he couldn't imagine that Five Stone Powder could be used to refine the Life Extension Pill.

Ginseng, velvet antler, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, and Tianshan snow lotus are powerful medicines that ordinary people may not be able to tolerate even one of them.

Even for the emperor, I'm afraid it's not that easy.

But if this is the time, using Five Stone Powder to boost your spirit and heat up your physical strength can actually help you stay healthy.

However, Wu Shi Powder has the effect of benefiting yang and resolving phlegm, and it has a certain curative effect on the emperor's wind disease.

If such a pill were given when the emperor was in critical condition, he might be able to survive.

As long as he survives that moment, countless imperial doctors will naturally take over, and the emperor's body may really be able to survive it.

But this kind of thing is still a gamble in the final analysis.

If the emperor cannot rush through, he will die immediately.

As for the other blood of Li Ming, Li Chong, Li Zhen, and Wu Chengsi, most of these have the effect of reducing miscellaneous heat.

Of course, it is inevitable to confuse others.

After all, although this medicine used ginseng, deer antler, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, and Tianshan snow lotus as a cover, it was Wu Shi Powder that allowed the emperor to survive.

In other words, what made the emperor think he could survive was that Wu Shi San was completely banned by the Tang Dynasty.

By the way, they also took the lives of Li Ming, Li Chong, Li Zhen, and Wu Chengsi.

On his face, the ridiculous smile gradually turned into a soft smile, and finally the lament disappeared.
