Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Chapter 1 Spirit Deer Holds Grass?What is the face of my emperor!
Nanjun, outside Yunmeng County.

In front of a rare flat ground, countless people were lying on a low wall, carefully peering into the open space not far away.

This is where the grass market of Yunmeng County is located.It's said to be a wall, but it's actually just a wooden fence that's no more than half a person's height.Yunmeng County is sparsely populated and wild animals are rampant, often attacking residents.The purpose of this wooden fence is only to prevent animals from intruding, and it does not have a military role.

Of course, there is no need to have a military role anymore, because eight years ago, the six countries were unified, and the world was called Great Qin!
What everyone was watching with curiosity and fear was none other than a group of Qin troops!
Except for a dozen knights who were probably used as scouts and personal guards, and a dozen vacant horses, this Qin army was all infantry.Although the number is less than a hundred, they are still subdivided into square formations such as crossbow soldiers, spear soldiers, and sword cards.One by one stood quietly in place, like Yue Linyuan.

It can be seen from their slightly old armor full of repair marks that they are obviously the same army that defeated the Six Kingdoms in a hundred battles!

A Qin general was quietly riding his horse and standing in front of the army formation, on the earthen platform where the Caoshi tax collectors were originally sitting.

He has a majestic figure, and the large armor can't even hide it.A square face with the characteristics of a typical Qilu warrior, iron-blooded and cold, with a full beard that looks like a lion's beard.Coupled with the helmet tassel on top of his head that has turned dark red, as if stained with enemy blood, it makes people look intimidating.

General Qin's eyes were like those of a hawk. He glanced under the platform. Several men, women and children wearing wide robes and long sleeves were tied under the platform and kneeling in front of a large pit.

In addition to these men, women, old and young, there were also several monkeys, goats, cranes and other various animals that were also tied tightly and placed in front of the pit, with their mouths even sealed. The scene was extremely weird.

"Wait, are you an alchemist?" General Qin's voice was as sonorous as metal and iron, which shocked the group of prisoners in the audience.

No one answered, and no one dared to look at General Qin's sharp eyes on the stage. Everyone shrank subconsciously.

General Qin was not angry either, he casually glanced at a personal guard who was holding a sword to prevent the prisoners from rioting.The latter understood, strode forward to a bound prisoner, and swung his sword fiercely under the latter's desperate and terrified eyes.

With a muffled "dong", the head fell to the ground and rolled into the dust.The blood spring shot out with a "chi" sound, dyeing the side of the platform red.The headless body even straightened up reflexively, before falling to the bottom of the pit with a plop, splashing a cloud of dust.

There was a low exclamation, and the Chu people behind the fence not far away were a little agitated, and the thirty or so people kneeling under the pit were shaking like sieves.

"Hey, are you an alchemist?" General Qin spoke again, while the guard was eager to try with a blood-stained bronze sword in his hand.

A soft sigh sounded, and the oldest old man among the group finally spoke.He glanced at the headless corpse still twitching in the pit, smiled bitterly and said, "We are indeed alchemists."

He reluctantly raised his head and looked at General Qin on the high platform: "I wonder who the general is?"

"General, Tian!" General Qin said indifferently.

The old man's eyebrows jumped suddenly: "Unexpectedly, it was Jiu Qing in front of him!"

He said humbly: "But I don't know why our alchemists were offended by the general?"

"You really don't know?" Qin Jiang's eyes sharpened suddenly.

He looked down at the bound old man in the audience with a cold voice.

"In the 27th year of the First Emperor's reign, the alchemist Hou Sheng and others came forward and said that they had learned the magical alchemy of immortals. They did not eat millet and wheat, but drank gold and pearls, so that they could refine the elixir of immortality."

"Shangxin Zhi, plotted a land of 270 miles in Xianyang, built [-] palaces and temples, recruited underworld warriors to refine medicines, ordered palace people and beauties from six countries to test medicines and served them, Wei Weijie led [-] elite soldiers to guard, and daily supply gold beads as food. "

"Also, because the alchemist said that the elixir needed the blood of spiritual beasts, he opened a deer park in the city. From then on, the stench of excrement in Xianyang City skyrocketed!"

"The rewards are not too generous, and the extravagance is not too much."

"Six years later, the Golden Elixir of Immortality is nothing to see, but in these 270 temples, there are no less than three thousand more virgins and boys."

General Qin glanced at all the alchemists kneeling under the platform, and his voice was still cold: "At the end of last year, the golden elixir was finally completed. The alchemist Xu Fu said that the elixir of immortality is extraordinary, and it requires fasting and praying for ten days. He said hurriedly Three thousand boys and girls went to sea to find the gods and tell their stories to heaven.”

"The emperor was pleased to obey and ordered the whole palace to fast and pray. According to what the alchemist Xu Fu said before leaving, on the night of the full moon on the 30th, a total of [-] people including servants, generals, ministers, and concubines were ordered to test the medicine."

"After taking the medicine for only ten seconds, all 30 people died of bleeding from their mouths and noses!"

"Shang Nu ordered Jie to arrest Hou Sheng. But Hou Sheng left a letter saying that the Qin Emperor was tyrannical, and we will go there early."

General Qin's eyes suddenly became sharp. He stared coldly at the old alchemist under the earthen platform, and his voice was as sonorous as a knife: "In this case, you alchemists, should you die?"

The old alchemist's lips moved, but he had nothing to say and could only lower his head dejectedly.

Yunmengze was far away from Xianyang, he was old and frail and unable to travel far, so he never thought of answering the call of the first emperor, but he also knew that the first emperor treated alchemists very kindly.

However, last month, the situation changed suddenly, and dozens of alchemists fled into Yunmeng Mountain in a panic. It was said that the first emperor Dasuo alchemists killed nine thousand in three days!

He didn't know the reason before, but at this moment, he just felt sad.

Hou Sheng Xu Fu and his like have harmed the world's underworld warriors!
Emperor Qin's cruel killings were known to the whole world.In this case, why deceive him?
Since he has been deceived, how can he survive?

He turned his head with difficulty and looked at a donkey beside him.The donkey has been tied tightly, unable to move at all, and a pair of big eyes are looking at him tearfully.

Alchemists live in the mountains, it is inconvenient to travel, and they often feel lonely.Therefore, most alchemists raise birds and animals, one for companionship, and the other for transportation.

It's just an ordinary animal, but it's called a spirit beast to the outside world.

Many alchemists also raise white cranes, monkeys and other seemingly more spiritual animals, and train them every day to deceive the villagers.

The old alchemist also kept a donkey, and the villagers, ignorant of it, called it the mount of the immortals.

But are there really fairies in this world?

The old alchemist had never seen it anyway.

In any case, the old alchemist has been with this donkey for many years and has a deep relationship.He subconsciously looked up at General Qin, just about to plead for his donkey, but the latter no longer gave him a chance to speak.

"Beheaded!" General Qin waved his hand coldly.

The light of the saber flashed in unison, and the guards of General Qin under the earth platform unanimously pulled out their sabers. There was a sudden scream, a fountain of blood flew, and heads rolled.

Several alchemists and a few bound so-called spirit beasts were killed in an instant, and their bodies fell into the pit one after another.

"Good kill!" A hoarse roar suddenly sounded out. Standing on one side of the platform was an official wearing the black robe standard for low-level officials in Da Qin.

With a flushed face, he glanced at the corpses in the pit, turned around and looked at the villagers lying on the fence, and said excitedly: "These alchemists don't do childbirth, and they have to be enshrined by us every day, and they run wild in the countryside." !"

"Originally, we thought that he could refine the golden elixir for His Majesty the First Emperor, so we indulged in it. But we didn't expect that the rats would dare to deceive His Majesty!"

"Good kill, kill all these liars!"

"All the alchemists deserve to die!"

"That's right, last time my little girl was ill, I exchanged two stones of new grains for an alchemy pill. Zi Shi took it all, and Zi Shi died at the beginning of the day!"

The villagers are turbulent, and what is good at the top will follow suit at the bottom.The government treats alchemists favorably, and the villagers are naturally in awe of them every day.Although I have doubts, I dare not say it.

Unexpectedly, everything came to light today, these alchemists are really liars!

All the famous alchemists in the world are in the place of Emperor Qin. If they were not liars, how could they fail to refine a golden elixir in seven years?
General Qin's gaze finally changed.He glanced at the Heipao county magistrate with some appreciation, and suddenly let out a roar.

"Listen!"

He roared and roared: "The first emperor Yu Ling!"

"In the land of Great Qin, whoever is called an alchemist, die!"

"Those who are called gods, die!"

"Whoever has a beast called a ghost, die!"

This is the triple killing order..." General Qin continued to speak, but before he could finish his sentence, his voice stopped suddenly, and a gleam of brilliance suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he looked towards the side of the earthen platform.

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads and followed his gaze. In the next second, everyone present was stunned.

I saw a deer appearing at the edge of the bushes less than ten steps away from the pit.

A white deer!
This is a doe that is all white, without a single hair of any color.Judging from the body shape and size, it should be a sika deer.

Obviously, the scene can be regarded as a sea of ​​people, and there are a hundred Qin soldiers holding weapons and watching eagerly. The blood of the corpse at the bottom of the pit has not been drained. There is a pungent smell of blood in the air, and even a trace of blood shoots directly into the white deer's head. Underfoot, the white deer showed no fear at all.

It stood quietly on the path outside the bushes, with a pair of big eyes fixedly looking at the buck of the old alchemist.The buck had been beheaded, and its head had fallen into the pit, leaving only the headless bound corpse twitching slightly by the pit.

There was no sadness in the white deer's eyes. On the contrary, there was only tranquility and peace in its eyes, as well as a trace of pity.

In addition, it was holding an unknown grass in its mouth, which seemed to be the flower of some unknown plant.

General Qin stared at the white deer, his eyes sparkling.

All pure white animals were considered auspicious in ancient times.And the White Deer is the most auspicious, there are even rumors that the world will be safe when the White Deer appears!

This is no exception in Da Qin, but it was the previous Da Qin!
Because of all this, seven years after the alchemist deceived His Majesty the First Emperor, it has become a joke.

His Majesty the First Emperor didn't care about the gold and pearls that were taken away by alchemists in the name of food.Anyway, the world is his, so just go and get it.

What he really cares about is that alchemists dare to deceive him!
General Qin knew how furious His Majesty the First Emperor was.

With the dignity of the emperor, he personally beheaded the captured Hou Sheng and other eleven alchemists, and ordered Wei Jie to lead two thousand cavalry to directly trample the Deer Park in the palace city to the ground!
Thousands of so-called spiritual deer that were carefully raised were trampled into mud by war horses!
But at this moment, at the scene where the Qin general was ordered by the first emperor to capture and behead the alchemist and read out the first emperor's decree, this deer suddenly appeared and trampled the blood under his feet...

It's like stepping on the face of His Majesty the First Emperor!
