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

Chapter 43 Message from the Heavenly Book!

Meng Tian and Fu Su were both happy and worried.

Immortals first appeared in the Huangdi period.

In ancient times, there was a strange person whose soul could transcend the body. Sitting quietly in a room, his mind could wander around.

This is unrestrained and unfettered, so he is a fairy.

This is the original intention of immortality, to cultivate the spirit, the body does not help, but instead imprisons.

Cultivation of immortality is about how to shed the physical body, but keep the soul immortal, and gain great freedom.

That is, longevity.

There is no physical body, only the soul remains. Naturally, it cannot be hurt by ordinary soldiers, and it cannot die unless it eats.

As for the rest, it’s okay. I haven’t heard of any difference. The ancients still regarded it as a crooked way. It wasn’t until Zhuangzi came out and Taoism prospered that it gradually became respected by the world.

As for celestial beings, they are different from immortals.

Heavenly beings practice the right path, and they are also the Zhengshuo passed down from ancient times.

Ancient gods such as Emperor Wa were gods. If they had luck and merit, they would become saints.

After the gods, there are the heavenly beings.

Celestial beings have supernatural powers, and the most basic supernatural power is the tyranny of the physical body.

For example, it is said in "Liezi" that there is a foolish old man in Beishan, who lives in front of Wangwu Taihang.Wangwu Taixingzhe has a square area of ​​seven hundred miles and a height of ten thousand ren.

The foolish old man punished me for going in and out, so he gathered in his room to plan and said: "You and I will try our best to overcome the danger. Although I have the strength in my remaining years, I may not be able to destroy a hair on the two mountains. However, after my death, my son will survive. He will be born again. Grandsons, and grandsons beget sons. Sons have sons, and sons have grandsons. There is no limit to the number of descendants.”

"If the mountain doesn't increase, why bother?"

The god of snakes heard this and informed the emperor.The emperor felt his sincerity and ordered the two sons of the Kua'e family to carry two mountains to move it.

The Kua'e family is a god, and his second son is a heavenly being.

The two of them can carry a distance of seven hundred miles and a mountain ten thousand feet high. Although there is a reason why Kua'e is originally a powerful god, it can also be seen that the supernatural powers of heaven and humans are far beyond the comparison of immortals.

Removing a million-jin cauldron is like looking at the lines on the palm of your hand.

however……

Heavenly beings don’t seem to be good at alchemy.

"That's it."

Fusu suddenly burst into laughter and shook his head.

"I am here to guess what heaven and man can do, just like the words of summer insects."

Meng Tian was stunned for a moment and then smiled freely.

As Fusu said, the two people's understanding of the so-called heaven and man, and even immortals, all come from ancient books or folk rumors.

The two have never met a real celestial being or immortal, so what is the point of discussing the supernatural powers of a celestial being?
But now the heaven and man have gone, taking away the alchemy furnace, but leaving behind their own thatched hut.

That being the case, how can you feel at ease if you don't go in and have a look?
The hut is next to the pine tree. It seems to be made of wormwood that can be seen everywhere in the mountains. It is small and exquisite, antique, with a touch of indescribable feeling. It seems that it is already ethereal at a glance.

The gate of the hut is made of logs from the mountains, the bark has not faded, and there are still young leaves emerging from the cracks, swaying in the mountain wind, full of vitality.

Taking a deep breath, Meng Tian took the lead and stood in front of the door.

"Would it be disrespectful for us to go in like this?"

"Salute before entering!"

As he finished speaking, the wooden door suddenly opened without any wind, as if to welcome him.

The two people looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces.

Could it be that God already knew that we would come in?
The supernatural powers of heaven and man are indeed beyond our knowledge!
The thatched hut was very clean, so clean that it was unreal.

As far as the eye can see, there is a bed, the bed is bare, without grass or bedding.There has never been dust on it, and there has never been a trace of someone sleeping on it.

Apart from the bed, there are no other furnishings in the hut, not even any utensils for meals.

There is also a mortar for pounding medicine, and there are a few unknown medicine residues in it, which exudes a fragrance of grass and trees.

I dare not take the mortar for pounding medicine, after all, it is the abode of heaven and man.Meng Tian directly tore off the cloak on his back, carefully scraped off the remaining medicine residue in the mortar, and wrapped it in the cloak.

Meng Tian is busy, and Fu Su is not idle either.

His eyes fell on the bed, where a strange object was placed.

He curiously picked up this object, which was square and about the size of a palm, with an outer shell that seemed to be made of leather, but inside were sheets of white inexplicable things, very thin, with traces on them.

"This may be a book from heaven!"

A pleasantly surprised voice sounded, it was Meng Tian.

At this time, he had wrapped up all the medicine dregs in the pounded medicine mortar, looking at the thing in Fusu's hands with burning eyes, his face was full of joy.

And Fusu's eyes were also full of joy, he carefully groped for the thing in his hand, his tentacles stretched out, and there was a strange fragrance.

"This seems to be the fragrance of ink, but there is no such fragrant ink in the world!" Fusu flipped it gently, slightly amazed.

Ink has been around since the Western Zhou Dynasty, and even the writing brush has also been invented. The first person to make it was Meng Tian.Although the characters are carved on bamboo slips these days, the murals and painted pottery are already painted in ink.

"There are words on it!"

Meng Tian's sharp eyes saw what seemed to be writing in it at a glance.

Fu Su is also in high spirits, and he also agrees with Meng Tian's views.

This must be a heavenly book!
The words in the book may be written by gods. No matter what, they are left by the gods!
And the Book of Heaven should reveal the secrets of the world.

He quickly turned back to the page he had seen before, and the next moment, both of them stared wide-eyed.

There are indeed words in the Book of Heaven, and there are many of them.

At this time, the page they turned to had a few lines of words on it.

It's just that the two of them couldn't understand it.

Since the advent of Chinese characters, they have been pottery inscriptions, then bronze inscriptions, and then Yin Qi, that is, oracle bone inscriptions.

By the Zhou Dynasty, seal script was popular all over the world, and by the Qin Dynasty, official script had emerged.

The words in front of the two of them are neither gold nor deeds, they have the meaning of seal characters, but they are far from the official script of Qin Shi, which inherited the seal characters.

"This word seems to be written with charcoal."

Meng Tian carefully looked at the words on the heavenly scriptures, and there was a lot of ink in his natural chest, which could invent a brush.

Fusu had more ink in his chest. He frowned and made unconscious gestures with his fingers in the air.

And Meng Tian didn't urge him either.

After all, this is a bible!

Just by hearing the name, one can tell that this book is absolutely extraordinary, and what kind of secrets are recorded in it!

Meng Tian couldn't help recalling the scene when he first met the celestial being, and he remembered every word the celestial being said in his heart.

On that day, on the Tianmen platform, the heavenly man once said that the world would undergo great changes!
This matter has been weighing on Meng Tian's mind.

He has been a Qin general for generations, loyal to the First Emperor, and very concerned about the Qin world that he conquered with one sword and one shot.

Perhaps, within this heavenly book, there is information about how the world will change!

He waited quietly at the side, and after a full quarter of an hour, Fusu's face finally revealed the meaning of relief.

"I know!"

With a proud smile on his face, he carefully raised his sleeves to wipe away the sweat on his head.

"I refer to seal characters and supplement them with official script..."

"What is it said in the heavenly book?" Meng Tian interrupted Fusu's words impatiently.

But Fusu didn't take it seriously, he took a deep breath and prayed to the sky with a solemn face.

"We were supposed to take a bath and fast and pray, but we are in a hurry, so it's no wonder that we look up to the sky. After going down the mountain this time, I will fast and pray for three months!"

"I will also fast and pray for the third month!" Meng Tian also said solemnly.

After praying to heaven, Fusu turned his eyes to the heavenly book again. His eyes flickered, revealing the secrets of heaven and earth, and even his hands holding the book trembled slightly.
