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

Chapter 92 There really is an elixir of immortality in the world!
Xu Fu and others were stunned. With the Book of Heaven in hand, it seemed that the First Emperor was not hopeless.But the Book of Heaven is, after all, left by heavenly beings, not to mention that only professionals can understand its meaning, and even the characters cannot be read by ordinary people.

Although it went smoothly when I read the title page, there was some guesswork involved.

The next thing is about alchemy. Even if you are guessing, you must be able to get the true meaning.

"The medicine of immortality?"

Is there really such a pill?After all, General Meng Tian was wrong.
Or……

Everyone seemed to hold their breath.

Nowadays, we can no longer guess based on our feelings.

Xu Fu took a deep breath and felt a little dizzy. He looked at it and saw four big characters written neatly on the title page.However, among the four big characters, he only recognized one, which was the word "no".

The word "bu" written in the Book of Heaven is not much different from the characters of the unified Qin Dynasty today. It is just a small circle under a horizontal line at the top, and a vertical line below it, with two dots on both sides.

"No" is taken from the pictographic method of making characters. It is different from when it is carved on an oracle bone, and it is just an extra horizontal line on the top.But the word in front of me now is the same as the word "不", except that there is no square circle under the top horizontal line.

When it was on the oracle bones, there was no such circle.

For Xu Fu, who could not understand the ancient shaman's oracle bone divination, this word could be recognized at a glance.

As for the other three characters, they are completely different from what Xu Fu knows.

The wording for "die" is knowing.

The so-called death is the eve of a person's life.As the sun sets, people die.

Talking about the ancient times, on the oracle bones, there is also a pictographic meaning, death, and the prison of human beings.Its form is more like trapping a person in a cage and treating it like death.

Except these two.

There is also a saying from Congjun Congren, which says that "歺" has the same sound as "e". When this part comes out, the words seen have always been related to death.

And the word in front of me, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't mean people are imprisoned, nor does it mean people are dying.

Only the last one remains to be studied.

Let's talk about the word "Zhi", "" comes out, this word has the meaning of breaking the ground, and there is also the word "branch", which is taken from the growth of grass and trees, and the writing edge should be sharp, rather than the current meaning of breaking the ground.

The word "medicine", when used in bronze inscriptions, was created using the sound of the line.From 艸 (艹) from 乐 (Yue), so the pronunciation of y in 剹 is combined with the pronunciation of ao in 艹.

When it came to Xiaozhuan, the word "medicine" became a knowing word, which means to use herbal medicine as the main medicine to cure all kinds of diseases.

Xu Fu has a big head, and the words in front of him don't look like "Elixir of Immortality" no matter how you look at it. Maybe General Meng Tian misunderstood it?
Xu Fu said: "If not, why don't you look back?"

"Listen to the Xunxian Envoy." Meng Tian agreed simply.

Xu Fu was shocked. It seemed that the general was not sure either.He then turned back and reached the end after more than ten pages.

Xu Fu smiled awkwardly and looked at Fusu and Mengtian who were a little confused, "I think what the general said is the "elixir of immortality"."

"This is a serious matter, so don't make any guesses," Fusu said.

Xu Fu nodded. He naturally knew that if the First Emperor was still calm and took the medicine he misjudged and drove westward, it would not be an exaggeration to kill the nine tribes.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and returned to the page.

If Xu Fu could know at this time, in the later Han Dynasty, a man named Xu Shen wrote "Shuowen Jiezi", he would definitely want to have it!If coupled with the "Xinhua Dictionary" of later generations, his current pain will be easily solved.

Xu Fu was not discouraged. After all, it was a heavenly book that could be easily understood. Wouldn't it be accessible to everyone?

These characters in the Heavenly Book seem to be completely different from Qin's Xiaozhuan, but they are vaguely related to each other. Often there is no connection between the two writing methods of the same character, but they can be guessed from the glyphs, and they are always very wonderful.

This is actually normal. Chinese characters are originally a combination of characters based on symbolic symbols. As long as you know those symbolic symbols, such as adding a dot in a circle to represent the day, you will naturally be able to compare certain fixed changes from the Japanese characters.

No matter how the font changes, the symbol remains the same.

Even if there are other ways to create characters, they can only be divided into six categories: pictogram, referring to things, knowing, phonetic, transferring notes and borrowing.

But in a strict sense, transliteration and borrowing are word usage.The four methods of making characters are ultimately inseparable from the original pictographic symbols.

Chinese characters are an extremely sophisticated type of writing, which can be divided into two types: single characters and combinations.Needless to say, the monomer is a variant of the symbol itself.And the combination is just a number of symbols put together. For example, the sun and the moon come together, which is the brightness.Among them, the sun and moon are pictograms.And Ming is an ideographic word derived from pictograms.The sun has already risen before the moon sets. Isn’t it dawn?
More importantly, even if it is a text created by later generations, or a text that has undergone major changes, another principle can be used to identify it, that is, one symbol is a radical to express its meaning, and the other symbol represents its sound. .For example, the Chinese characters for medicine in bronze inscriptions are Cong艸 (艹), Congle (Yue), 艹行, and Yue sound.This is also an extended sound character based on symbols.

The last one is more convenient to create words to refer to things. The most representative one is the word "Shang Xia".In Xiaozhuan, these two characters do not have the last two points.A vertical line above a horizontal line is "up", and a vertical line below a horizontal line is "down".

Xu Fu encouraged himself secretly, "It's just three words, can't I still be sure!"

That’s right, it’s not about guessing and reading it like the previous article, but it must be confirmed.

The key lies in the second word "death".

Death is the end of a person's life, but I don't write it like this, but I follow the person.

"Do you have pen and ink?" Xu Fu just thought that it was difficult to guess, so it would be more intuitive to write it down.

"Yes, I brought it for the Immortal Seeking Envoy." Meng Tian stood up, went to where he and Fusu were sitting and talked, and got the pen and ink.

Xu Fu took the pen and ink from Meng Tian's hand and leaned on the ground.Reach out and write "歺".

The more I see that this word is similar to the word "death" in the book of heaven, where exactly is it similar?
Xu Fu's eyes lit up. The "歺" department has now been written as the "evil" department.If we extend the horizontal line on it and write a dagger, wouldn't it be exactly this word?

He helped draw what he was thinking and wrote the word "dagger" separately.

"The Immortal Seeker is really smart!" Fusu praised.

Nowadays, although the "歺" part has been written as the "evil" part, it has just evolved, and few people know it, let alone know it by heart.

Just this "dagger".

Xu Fu frowned, "We are familiar with each other, but not familiar either."

Fusu, Mengtian and Xu Fu looked at this character in different directions. In Fusu's eyes, this character happened to be the character for dagger!
Qin Zhi's dagger was different from the current one, in that one person was hunched downward.The writing method is the same as today, but it doesn't look much like it.If you turn your head 45 degrees to the left and look at the "dagger" in Xiaozhuan, it will be exactly the same as the "dagger" in today's regular script.

"Xunxian Envoy, this is the word "dagger"!" Fusu said and turned the cloth on the ground in one direction.

Xu Fu was shocked, it was exactly the word dagger!
The gangster is holding a dagger. What other word can there be besides death? !

"From this point of view, this is really the word "immortality"!" After Xu Fu finished speaking, he began to turn the pages forward. He pointed to a few lines of words on the title page, "Look here, sir, God and man have something to say here," Today's Peeping into the Sky Although this sentence is my guess, the meaning is probably correct. The word "的" is the same as the third word!"

"Immortal..." Fusu read out the first three words.

"Medicine!" Xu Fu added the last word.

The location where the Book of Heaven is opened now is exactly within the scope of "Elixir". Therefore, what follows must be the method of refining the elixir of immortality.

Fusu was overjoyed, "Unexpectedly... we have really found it!" "Xianxun Envoy, please read on to find out how to refine it!"

Xu Fu nodded, unable to hide his excitement.

Is the first elixir of immortality really going to appear from my hands since ancient times?
After opening a page, there are as many writings as the title page.

But this time Xu Fu didn't read every word. As long as the steps for refining the elixir were rigorous, there would be no mistakes.As long as there is some control over the refining time and the accuracy of what is needed, it will be fine.

"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, as vast as smoke and clouds. The living are called life, and the dead are called death. The change of goods and the cycle of things is the way of heaven."

"However, the way of heaven calls life a living thing, but death is not."

Xu Fu stuttered as he read on, while Fu Su and Meng Tian's fiery eyes were a little confused.

"Xunxian Envoy, what do you mean by this?" Fusu read the books of sages extensively, but he never understood the meaning.

Xu Fu said: "Sir, in the way of heaven, there is only one term of life, but no term of death."

"Since there is life, there is also death. How can the Immortal Seeker say that there is no death?" Fusu asked.

Xu Fu smiled slightly, "The vastness of Tao is beyond our ability to understand. Life will not die, it will only change the form of its existence."

"As the saying goes, those who are named without desires will live forever, and those who are named with desires will perish."

Fu Su nodded his head half-understood.

Xu Fu continued: "Xuan is heaven. People who have desires and people who have no desires receive the same energy from heaven."

Xu Fu suddenly realized, yes.Why is there a medicine of immortality in the world?Because the human spirit is immortal, only the physical body will perish.

Those who have no desire for fame will live forever, which refers to those who practice Taoism and put fame and wealth outside themselves.Those who practice Taoism live forever precisely because they abandon fame and wealth.

It is said that those who have desires will perish. This statement is talking about the vast number of ordinary people.Anyone who's physical body dies has something to ask for.

"Now I have left the elixir of immortality for those who are destined to meet it and save themselves."

"For the human body to survive, the Qi of the five elements is indispensable. Wood governs life. If the body dies due to insufficient wood Qi, it must be tempered by gathering the essence of all trees."

"With enough vitality, people will not die, so it is the medicine of immortality."

Xu Fu almost finished reading this while trembling. He clearly only read a few sentences, but he felt weak and seemed to be lying on the ground in the next second.

It takes so much energy!

He paused, took two sharp breaths, and then continued to look, "Human beings are no different from all things. As long as there is life, there will be death. If you refine the medicine of immortality, it is against the way of heaven. The behavior of heaven is permanent, and it was not preserved by Yao. , not to die for Jie, nor to leave room for those who violate the Tao."

"Therefore, the medicine of immortality needs to be prepared with the power of heaven, otherwise it will not be able to bear the punishment of heaven."

Xu Fu sighed, "It turns out that there are only two key points, one is the wood energy, and the other is the power of heaven."

Everyone was shocked. After hearing what Xu Fu said, although they were still confused, they felt that they had actually learned the method of refining the elixir of immortality!
And it is reasonable and well-founded. It is worthy of being written by heaven and man. Heaven and man are really awesome.

Although I don’t know why Xu Fu seemed to be half exhausted while reading, but they became more and more energetic as they listened!

But listening to the meaning, no one in the world can refine the elixir of immortality, only gods can.

Really all the magicians in the world are liars!

The power of heaven...

As the name suggests, there must be the so-called way of heaven contained in it.And how can mortals drive the way of heaven?

This requirement is really high, but even if it is difficult to find, you may not be able to practice it. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, you should give it a try.

Now this is the only way to save the First Emperor, even if you risk your life, you must try it!
The First Emperor was seriously ill, but it was not completely hopeless.If it is hopeless, then accept your fate.Knowing that the First Emperor was holding his breath, how could he accept his fate?
"Xunxian Envoy, are you willing to refine medicine for the First Emperor?" Fusu asked.

Xu Fu was stunned. The book said that only the power of heaven can refine medicine.

Mr. Fusu, what does this mean?

How do I know the power of heaven?

But on second thought...

I have been taught by gods and beings. The title of the Immortal Seeking Envoy was a bit ridiculous before, but now I am well-deserved.Perhaps we are still far from knowing the way of heaven, but is there anyone in the world who knows the power of heaven and man better than me?

Xu Fu held up his hand and said, "Young Master, believe me. I am willing to do anything for the First Emperor, even to the death!"

Fusu nodded, "In that case, General, please quickly prepare the materials for making alchemy."

"Here!" Meng Tian responded, and then went to find the jailer to prepare the things needed for the alchemy.

After all, Fusu was a young master. Although there were rumors that the First Emperor wanted to kill a young master and depose him, even if he deposed him as a commoner, Fusu was still the eldest son of the First Emperor.

Although he no longer has the honorific title of Young Master, the First Emperor will not sit back and watch his eldest son be humiliated at the hands of junior officials!

The jailer did not dare to disrespect Fusu, nor did he dare not to listen to Fusu's words.

After all, this is the former site of the Yue Palace, so it is relatively easy to find many things. Besides, alchemists were once imprisoned in Yanwei Prison, and there were many alchemy furnaces needed for alchemy.

At that time, the First Emperor had not yet ordered to kill all the alchemists in the world. All the alchemists had alchemy furnaces. When the alchemists were killed, the alchemy furnaces were left in the warehouse as physical evidence.

Here, after a short search in Yanwei Prison, he found many alchemy furnaces.

Fusu selected the one with the best appearance.

Xu Fu was a little worried. The heavenly book said clearly that the essence of wood energy was needed, but where to find the essence of wood energy?
"Now everything is ready, all we need is the essence of wood energy." Xu Fu sighed.

"Can the medicinal dregs we brought back from Yunmeng Mountain be considered the essence of wood energy?" Meng Tian suddenly asked.

Xu Fu was stunned, there was actually some medicine residue left by the gods!
Fusu and Mengtian gained so much from a trip to Yunmeng Mountain. If I had known, I would have gone to Yunmeng Mountain first!
If this goes well, you will have to go to Yunmeng Mountain as soon as it is over to see if you can pick up the missing items.After all, if the First Emperor really healed because of this elixir of immortality, the land of Yunmeng would be surrounded by the Qin army.It will be impossible to pick up any treasures from it by then.

"General, is there any medicine residue?" Xu Fu asked.

Meng Tian took out a wrapped cloth from his arms.Xu Fu took the dregs of the medicine and as soon as he opened it, a wave of fresh air swept through his body.

The fresh cold fragrance permeates the surroundings.

A strange color suddenly appeared on Xu Fu's face.

He had smelled this fresh cold fragrance before when he was unconscious at sea, but it was a hundred times stronger than the medicine residue in front of him!
Moreover, at this time, he also felt as if a stream of fresh air was flowing through his body, making him feel as light as a swallow.

In this way, these medicinal residues in front of you must be used as medicine!
