Chapter 585 Undercurrent(2/2)
It was supposed to be a big joy, but it deteriorated due to the complete coma of Emperor Zhou.
Before, foreign enemies invaded, so the court could unite and resist foreign enemies. However, now the foreign enemies have retreated and the emperor is in a coma. When the capital is in a central position, it is trapped in a turbulent situation.
Emperor Zhou's previous ambiguous attitude towards the prince made countless people who were interested wanted to take advantage of the success of the dragon.
------------------------------------
Wudang Mountain, Medicine King Valley.
This place is the place where the Medicine King Sun Shichang lived in seclusion and practiced in a quiet place. Every time he returned from collecting herbs from the mountain, Sun Shichang would practice in a quiet place. In his spare time, he would go up the mountain to discuss the alchemy with Zhang Laodao.
Although Old Dao Zhang is sloppy, he is also one of the best alchemy masters in the world.
But at this time, the Medicine King Valley is no longer as quiet as before.
The Black Arrow Team of the East Factory is guarding the Yaowang Valley to prevent outsiders from entering.
Director Cao Zhengchun of the East Factory and his subordinates were waiting in the valley.
Cao Zhengchun was ordered by the emperor to come to Wudang to wait for the birth of the Tianchang Pill.
Tianchang Dan, this is a strange drug, which can be called a life-long prolonging medicine under special circumstances.
This is a useless pill that Sun Shichang accidentally tinkered with when he was studying the method of immortality.
The human body is an endless treasure house, and no one can know the potential contained in it. After taking the Tianchang Pill, the potential of the human body can be squeezed out to help those who are seriously ill to live for two more years. In these two years, the symptoms will be eliminated, and the mind and body will be no different from ordinary people.
But when two years arrive, there is no longer any vitality. Even the Three Lights Divine Pill and Tianxiang Cardamom are useless.
But he can also use it during battle because it takes at least three days to exert its medicinal power and cannot be used against the enemy. In addition, the medicinal materials required are rare.
What’s important is that if you refine this pill, disasters may come, so Sun Shichang did not refine it again.
However, it was also urgently needed by Emperor Zhou. Although Emperor Zhou's current physical condition could only maintain his vitality for eight months at most, only eight months was enough for Emperor Zhou to make a stable arrangement in the matter of passing on the throne.
Half a year ago, Emperor Zhou asked the medicine to take the medicinal materials needed to refine the alchemy and asked the medicine king Sun Shichang to refine this pill.
Although the side effects are obvious, Emperor Zhou didn’t care about so much!
He can't die now!
This is also the sorrow of being a wise king, even death must be at the right time.
On the Blue Star in later generations, there were many emperors who caused chaos in the world due to untimely death.
Those who died too late include Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Emperor Wu of Han.
Many people died too early, and there were even more people going to go. Taizu of Later Zhou, Shizong, Xuanzong of Ming... there are countless.
The throne at the scene was not yet decided, and Emperor Zhou could not rest assured to meet Emperor Taizu.
Cao Zhengchun has been waiting here for more than a month, but the Tianchang Pill has not been released for a long time, which has made the Governor Cao very anxious.
He can afford to wait, but the emperor can't wait!
However, although he did not understand the elixir, he also knew that this alchemy must be a major event that is focused and not disturbed by the outside world.
So he could only protect this place and ordered the Black Arrow Team of the East Factory to surround the Medicine King Valley to prevent outsiders from entering.
On this day, Lord Cao was waiting outside the alchemy room as usual.
But I saw the gathering of the heaven and earth energy over the Yaowang Valley, and even cloud energy was accumulated.
Cao Zhengchun showed joy when he saw this. As a master of Dongxuan, although he did not understand the alchemy path, he could also detect the changes in the heaven and earth's vital energy. At this moment, the heaven and earth vital energy was constantly gathering into the Medicine King Valley, which was obviously a sign that the Tianchang Dan Cheng was about to be born.
But just as Cao Zhengchun was overjoyed, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
Cao Zhengchun suddenly kicked Pi Xiaotian away, and then retreated quickly. A thunder as thick as a bowl hit the big tree beside the two of them.
Although Pi Xiaotian was kicked by Cao Zhengchun and rolled around the ground, in a mess, nothing happened.
Although Cao Zhengchun moved in time, he was still affected by the thunder.
Fortunately, he has been full of forty years of Tiangang Boy's skills, which is extremely pure, so he is not injured, but now his appearance has become a little unfair.
His hair was pricked into the sky and his face was charred, like a coal miner who had just come out of the ground.
"Supermaster! Are you okay! Subordinate..."
Before Pi Xiaotian could finish his words, Cao Zhengchun flew up again and kicked Pi Xiaotian away again, and at the same time dodged with light skills.
With the experience of the last time, Cao Zhengchun was not hit this time and avoided the aftermath of the sky thunder.
But the stone benches and tables under the big tree have turned into powder under the thunder.
Cao Zhengchun had already realized that something was wrong, and this Tianchang Pill may not be so easy to refine.
But I think so, this is a pill that can force people to prolong their lives. Although it is far less than the elixir of immortality, it is also amazing enough.
Just when Cao Zhengchun didn't know what to do, he felt a flash in front of him, and a veteran civil-clad Taoist appeared in front of him.
ps: In fact, for the previous chapter, the big boss was Monk Wanyan Chen rather than Nurhachi.
When reinforcements arrived early, the victory was already locked. If I were water, I could have two or three chapters in the final battle of Jinyang, and there was no need.
I personally think that Nurhachi, who was shot to death by Governor Yuan, is still not as good as the Mongolian cavalry with 400 or 8,000 peaks, and defeated the monk Wanyan Chen, who was not defending the city, but in a field battle.
If Huang Taiji hadn't been successful and seized the opportunity, Nurhachi would not have been so famous, at most it would be a border trouble.
As for Monk Chen, he is considered a foreign general whom the author admires more. He is loyal, brave, resolute, and strict military discipline, which is very rare.
