Chapter 426: Pills? Poison?

[ps: It means that there is no black monk or a Taoist priest, and the brain supplements the speculation that the party has retreated…]
The hair and beard of the old Taoist priest are all white. If it hadn’t been flushed at this time and looked at Li Yi angrily, everyone would have seen a first-class image of a fairy.
“He is unintentional, don’t get angry with the Taoist leaders…” Seeing the unhappy expressions on the faces of the Taoist leaders, Li Mingzhu hurried over and said.
Although Sitianjian is also under the jurisdiction of the court, the identities of these Taoist chiefs are not only officials, especially the old Taoist in front of him. He has a very high reputation in Taoist gates. Be polite.
Hundreds of officials in Beijing are all eager for the elixir he refines in order to prolong their lives.
“For no reason to insult my Taoist school, how can the poor Tao not be angry!” The old Taoist priest obviously hadn’t calmed down, and pointed to Li Yi and asked: “You are talking about how the old-fashioned pill is useless!”
Since the emergence of the five stone powder, drug use has become one of the leisure hobbies of the wealthy and powerful in ancient times. In order to prolong life and become immortal, the number of alchemists began to explode. Mercury, gold, Lead…, what kind of alchemy.
Taking drugs has become a trend. It’s okay to ask a few friends to knock on drugs. It’s an elegant and charming affair. The social atmosphere is like this. What else can Li Yi say?
If this is set in modern times and gather crowds to attract du, all of them have to sit and wear them.
Obviously, Taoism has not yet changed from external alchemy to internal alchemy. Li Yi has never shared the idea of ​​heavy metal poisoning with this old Taoist priest. A group of people want to become immortals and want to be crazy. It is the same as telling the old monk Tan Yin that his Buddha is of no use.
Even Li Xuan, Li Mingzhu and even the old emperor believed that taking drugs was useful. What he said was meaningless.
“Sorry, I made a mistake just now. I dare to ask Dao Master, can the Holy Medicine be let me see?” Li Yi arched his hands at the old Dao.
“Hmph, I will remember from now on. Don’t be unpretentious.” Although the old Dao was still a little annoyed in his heart, but seeing him and Princess Yongle, he did not continue to make trouble, took out a brocade box from his sleeve and opened it carefully. .
Lao Dao was very cautious about this pill. He held it by himself and didn’t let Li Yi do it at all. He stared at Li Yi as if he would withdraw his hand at any time.
Li Yi looked at the pill in the box. The pill was about the size of a quail egg, and it was dark red in appearance. It was actually reflective. It turned bright in the sun and looked strange. In addition to mercury sulfide, it also It is what they call dansha, what else can have such an effect?
It seems that these Taoist alchemy methods are still very traditional. Mercury is available. I am afraid that lead has not been released. Gold powder, silver powder… I don’t know if there are other things. Li Yi looked at the hair and beard. Bai’s veteran thought, he must never take the pill that he refines himself.
“I’ll go back first.” After a while, Li Yi’s gaze withdrew from the pill. Without looking at the old way, he said to Li Xuan and turned and walked outside the hall.
“Hey…”
Li Xuan stretched out his hand, before he could speak, Li Yi had already walked out the door.
He and Li Mingzhu looked at each other and chased them helplessly.
Unexpectedly, Li Yi would actually have a conflict with these Taoist masters. You must know that it is not convenient for him and Mingzhu to say or do anything to these people.
Li Yi walked to the gate of the palace alone, and he would run out on a hot day only when his brain was flooded. Anyway, the old emperor didn’t take long to live. Although he would definitely die after taking those pills, at least in the early stage. At that time, I can still feel the sense of godly cheerfulness and increased physical strength, otherwise it would be impossible for so many people in the world to believe it.
“Master Li?”
Suddenly there was a slightly surprised voice behind him. Li Yi stopped and saw a person running out of a small palace next to him.
“It turned out to be Doctor Liu.” Li Yi bowed his hand to him. The visitor was Liu Jimin, who had met him in Qing’an Mansion.
Liu Grand Doctor smiled and said: “It’s really Mrs. Li. I haven’t seen him in Qing’an Mansion for more than half a year. I didn’t expect to meet him in the palace today. I was in front of the Imperial Medical Office. Mrs. Li, should I go in and sit? Sit and have a cup of tea?”
It just happened to be a little hot all the way, Li Yi thought about it, then nodded and said, “Thank you, Doctor Liu.”
“Master Li is polite, please!” Doctor Liu smiled and stretched out his hand–
“The Imperial Medical Office is quite cool.” Li Yi sat on the chair, took a sip of tea, and said.
“Speaking of speaking, Master Li offered the “wound suture technique”. The old man has not thanked him face to face. Master Li has a kind heart, and what he has done is to benefit all the people. The old man acts on behalf of the people of the world. Thank you Master Li !” Doctor Liu sat opposite him and said with a fist.
He has heard this sentence from the doctor Liu last time. Li Yi waved his hand, as if thinking of something, and suddenly asked: “Your Majesty’s disease has always been the responsibility of Master Liu, right?”
Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said: “Your Majesty’s illness, the old man and several colleagues have been trying to find a way, but there has been no progress. Somehow, your Majesty’s condition suddenly occurred a month ago. Even the old man was helpless. Fortunately, the holy medicine offered by several Taoist leaders of Si Tianjian prevented your majesty’s condition from getting worse.”
Li Yi sighed, even the imperial physician Ling said so, which shows that this kind of thinking is deeply ingrained for everyone.
Even if there are countless people who died because of this thing, in order to strengthen the illusory belief, they can always find suitable reasons, for example, the raw materials for alchemy have not been selected, the heat of the refining has not been mastered, or even Even death can be said to be “soldiers to become immortals.” If the old emperor really becomes immortal, I don’t know if the heads of these emperor doctors and Taoist priests can be kept.
“Doctor Liu really thought it was those pills that worked?” Li Yi took a sip of tea again, and said lightly.
Mr. Liu glanced at him, the expression on his face gradually froze, stood up from his seat, looked at Li Yi, and carefully said: “I also ask Mrs. Li to make it clear…”
Li Yi looked at him and asked: “Master Liu knows what the pill is made from?”
Liu Grand Doctor shook his head. He learned medicine, not alchemy. His specialty is not right. How do you know what those pills are made? What’s more, which of the alchemists did not use their own alchemy Seeing is more important than fate, how could others know?
“The cinnabar, lead powder, and maybe gold powder and silver powder…” Li Yi stood up, patted Doctor Liu on the shoulder, and said, “Master Liu, take care.”
Every time Li Yi said a word, Doctor Liu’s face turned white. When he finished speaking, there was no blood on his face.
Plop.
After Li Yi’s figure disappeared from the Imperial Medical Office, Doctor Liu finally couldn’t help limp on the ground.
“Master Liu, what’s the matter with you!” All the officials from the Imperial Medical Department immediately rushed up.
I don’t know how long it has been, the doctor Liu finally recovered and said anxiously: “Quickly, go and invite Master Li back!”
When everyone in the Imperial Medical Office was going crazy under the scorching sun, Li Yi lay on the rocking chair leisurely, tasting the iced grape stuffed grapes, and eating the fruit salad fed by the little maid. Every pore in the body should be relaxed.
This is life, it’s not a thousand times better than going to the palace on a hot day and suffering…
Li Xuan came in sweating from the outside, and after holding a piece of ice from the corner of the house, he stopped letting go, and sat opposite Li Yi~IndoMTL.com~ and asked, “What happened to you just now,” Is there a problem with the pill?”
Li Xuan didn’t understand why Li Yi’s attitude changed a lot when he heard of the pill just now. With doubts in his heart, he ran back to ask what happened.
“There is no big problem either.” Li Yi shook his head and said: “If your majesty does not take those medicinal pills, it will last several years, but at least…, only one or two years of life.”
Li Xuan looked gloomy when he heard the words, and then thought that if the pill can prolong life for several years, it would be a good ending, and asked: “What about taking pill?”
Although heavy metal poisoning takes time to accumulate slowly, since those Taoist priests dared to offer it to the emperor, they must have passed the experiment a long time ago. There shouldn’t be any problems with that dose in a short time, but the old emperor’s body It was already bad, Li Yi thought for a while and gave Li Xuan a conservative number.
“Two months.”
“What? Two months!”
Li Xuan bounced from the chair fiercely, and the ice in his arms fell to the ground, smashing to pieces.
