back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 242 Fudge, fudge hard

Although Chen Xun was slanderous in his heart, since the little emperor asked, he still had to answer.As a Qin Tianjian, he must be very familiar with the almanac, he needs to study it every day, and when he has a whim, he has to make a divination to predict good or bad.

When going out today, Chen Xun also looked at the almanac, and remembered that three days later, it would be a good day for everything.There is no need to hide it, after all, in the eyes of the ancients, this matter could not be more common.Just find a small official from Qintianjian who can tell the truth, and he can tell it.There is no point in hiding such a small matter.It's better to answer generously, so that the little emperor can have a good impression.

Chen Xun sorted out the stakes, and answered immediately: "Your Majesty, three days later will be a good day for everything, and it will be easy to complete the construction."

Lu Chengqi nodded, he had finished asking what he wanted to know, and he had nothing to do at this moment, so he just wanted to chat with this "magic stick" who was known as Chen Tuan's successor.

Lu Chengqi, who has heard a little about Chen Tuan, has read Chen Tuan's introduction and knows that this person is called a "living fairy". It is also extremely remarkable for future generations.

There is only one thing that Lu Chengqi feels that Chen Tuan did not do well, and that is the "Zhixuan Pian" written by him. Although it expounds the techniques of health preservation, it also records the method of returning mercury to pills.

The ancients called this mercury alchemy, also known as the golden alchemy, which is a method for the ancients to refine elixir in pursuit of "immortality".Due to the chemical properties of sulfur mixed with mercury, its shape is round and flowing, easy to volatilize, its shape is stubborn, and its nature is stagnant. The ancients felt it was very miraculous, so they respected it as golden water and repeatedly refined it to achieve "Nine Turns Returning Pills". Or it is called "Nine Returning Golden Elixir".

Because Taoist alchemy is very mysterious, they usually go to famous mountains where there are few people and gods.Ever since, the ancient emperors were skeptical, and when these so-called alchemists fudged a few more words, they would often believe it completely.After believing it, they will take these so-called "Nine Transformations Golden Pills", which will lead to chronic mercury poisoning, and they will kill themselves by taking medicine.

This is why many superstitious emperors who believed in alchemy were wise and powerful in the early stage, but after fearing death later, they began to change their personality, and gradually became emotional, moody, irritable, withdrawn, suspicious, etc., killing meritorious ministers unjustly, etc., absurd behavior And so on.The most famous one is Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty in the history of the genuine card.

Lu Chengqi actually had no resistance to alchemy.After all, this is the originator of chemistry. Without the tireless pursuit of these alchemists, the history of human chemistry does not know when it will develop!It's just that the things they refine are too cheating, even metals are dared to eat, and the ancients' brains are not small!

As for the so-called physiognomy masters, Feng Shui masters, they are no less mysterious than alchemists.These three kinds of mystical arts, after being "proficient", will usually be sold to the emperor's family, become a guest on the emperor's throne, and receive the most revered treatment.

Chen Xun probably also had such thoughts in mind, relying on his own ability, he fantasized that he would be like Chen Tuan, and in a blink of an eye, the emperor would reward him with glory and wealth.At that time, it was soaring into the sky, which was beyond words.However, Chen Tuan is a real worldly expert, and Chen Xun is just a worldly person who is still haunted by the world of mortals.Which is higher and which is lower can be seen at a glance from the realm of thought.

Seeing that he was "proficient in business", Lu Chengqi also became interested, and asked suddenly: "I don't know if Master Chen Qing taught the Immortal Chen Tuan, how much can he learn?"

Chen Xun did not change his face and his heart did not beat, he opened his eyes and said nonsense: "I have already obtained the mantle of my teacher's way. As for the 'Fetal Breath Jue', 'Zhixuan Pian', 'Yilongtu', 'Xiantian Fangyuan Figures', 'Wuji Figure', 'The Notes on the Way of Changing the Heart of the Taoist in Linen', and 'Tai Chi Yin and Yang Theory' are all true transmissions."

When Chen Xun said that he looked like another Chen Tuan, Lu Chengqi secretly felt it was funny.Even if Chen Tuan himself appeared in front of him, he would be respectful at most, a little bit of admiration, after all, living for more than 100 years in ancient times with such poor medical conditions can be regarded as a human being.But if you want to listen to Chen Tuan's nonsense, it is only possible if Lu Chengqi smashed his head.

Ancient physiognomy, geomancy, metaphysics, etc. all come from the "Book of Changes", but they are just different interpretations of the "Book of Changes".The wisdom of these ancients naturally has its mysteries, but Lu Chengqi, who grew up under the red flag of socialism who believed in the way of science, would be obsessed with such things?Maybe listen to one or two, but accept it completely, that is impossible.

Based on this, Lu Chengqi asked again: "Then Chen Qing must be very good at divination?"

Hearing the little emperor ask himself such a "professional" question, Chen Xun thought to himself: "Could it be that the little emperor really suddenly became interested in metaphysics?" No wonder Chen Xun didn't believe it. Generally speaking, at Lu Chengqi's age, Still thinking about how to establish an immortal empire, how can I get a century-old thing?Generally speaking, only after the emperor's middle age and his body gradually weakened did he have the idea of ​​longevity.As a result, happiness came too fast and suddenly, and Chen Xun couldn't accept it all at once.

Dazed for a moment, the quick-witted Chen Xun immediately said: "Return to Your Majesty, my teacher's "Innate Map" is the number of images from "Yi". I don't know what your Majesty wants to know?"

The ancients still had certain rules for divination.That is to say, if one’s heart is not sincere, one cannot know;In fact, the so-called physiognomy, geomancy, divination, etc., all come from the "Book of Changes", also known as "Book of Changes".The pre-Qin scholars all refer to the "Book of Changes" deduced by King Wen of Zhou. Among the hundreds of schools of thought, there is one direction, which is biased towards Fang Warlock. And so on are just a branch of Fang Warlock.Therefore, it is customary to pay attention to these three principles regardless of Feng Shui or divination.

Naturally, Lu Chengqi didn't know these three principles, because he never went to tell people's fortunes or read faces since he was a child.Even before rebirth, a feng shui master told Lu Chengqi that you would die from drowning, do you think Lu Chengqi would believe it?If you're in a good mood, you might swear without pain, "crazy"; if you're in a bad mood, you might yell at me.

Chen Xun saw that Lu Chengqi was so dishonest, and felt embarrassed.Besides, Lu Chengqi has already decided to do this, so what kind of divination and hexagrams are there!

However, since the emperor opened the golden mouth, as a courtier, he must cater to the emperor's request!

Chen Xun had no choice but to take out his "eat guy" from the sleeve of his official robe, a tortoise shell containing six copper coins, and handed it to Lu Chengqi.
