The elixir of life, whether in TV dramas or novels, has been shown too much, and some clues can even be found in some well-founded historical documents.
As long as Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng is mentioned, most people will think of his eternal hegemony and his ambition of immortality. But whether these are real, I am afraid no one can give an accurate answer.
But the ancient book Zhang Yi was holding at this time once again added a legendary color to this historical mystery. What was recorded in the book was to refine the magic elixir of immortality for the First Emperor, so that it was searched all over the world.
There were famous doctors and hermits in the world, and there were many talented people from different walks of life. Finally, they actually found a way to refine this magical medicine.
Seeing this, Zhang Yi was immediately shocked. Based on his current understanding of medicine, theoretically humans can indeed achieve immortality, but this is just a theory. Because the human body is too mysterious, and life is related to countless things.
factors are interrelated.
Theoretically speaking, it is completely possible to enhance or extend a certain function of the human body, and it is not difficult to even extend some lives. But no matter what method is used, slight changes to the human body will affect the delicate balance of the human body, and this
Once the balance is broken, it is very difficult to restore it.
If you want to make a person immortal in a real sense, you must keep all the functions of the human body normal and maintain normal vitality while excluding all external factors. At the same time, you must maintain that extremely fragile balance point. If you want to do this
This is actually completely impossible. Even if it is theoretically possible, it would take thousands or tens of thousands of years to make a person immortal. And who can wait for such a long time?
However, what was recorded in the book at this time shocked Zhang Yi. Out of his professional interest in medicine, he was even more curious about this method and wanted to know what method could ignore personal differences in quality.
, thus achieving this miracle.
The second half of the note was about preparations for refining the elixir, but in the end, this heaven-defying plan still came to an end and disappeared from the world inexplicably.
However, due to his love for various literary and historical materials, the final record was that Li Si copied the most critical and mysterious method in alchemy. And this method was the "Three Emperors Bible" held by Zhang Yi.
The second half of Tonggu's notes are filled with various strange characters, characters without any historical basis. Behind each character or group of characters, Li Si wrote annotations and translations in small seal script. Zhang Yi did not recognize the characters, but
He could still understand the characters in small seal script. In the end, he must have been exposed to the resurrection plan in the Military Research Bureau as part of these characters.
It's just that the notebook in my hand is not a complete translation of the "Three Emperors Bible", but a translation of one of the character forms, and it is not complete.
Zhang Yi once classified the words of the "Three Emperors Bible" according to their forms of expression, and found that in addition to oracle bone inscriptions and other characters that could be translated, those characters that had no basis were divided into four categories. At this time, the Tonggu Notes in his hand
, are most of the translations in one category. In other words, the origin of the method of refining the elixir sought by Qin Shihuang more than 2,000 years ago came from the "Three Emperors Bible", and it can also be judged from this,
The "Three Emperors Bible" was not in the hands of one person back then. At least the key to truly understanding the mysteries of the "Three Emperors Bible" was kept separately.
The only person who can see the subtle differences in character translation is Zhang Yi, who owns the "Three Emperors Bible". In the translation he saw at this time, except for this type of characters, no other types of characters appeared.
Judging based on these factors, Zhang Yi can roughly guess what happened that year. It is assumed that the four parties who mastered the opening of the "Three Emperors Bible" have a translation method of character categories. At that time, Qin Shihuang wanted to obtain
Regarding the elixir of life, there were differences among the forces that held one of the "keys". Finally, one person defected to Qin Shihuang and refined the elixir according to what he knew.
In the end, of course, it was impossible to refine it successfully, so he disappeared from the world with the Qin Dynasty or before that. And this part of the things he mastered was recorded by Li Si, and was eventually buried in Dai Mingchao. The three brothers went there for some unknown reason.
Among the ancient tombs.
Zhang Yi obtained this part of the character translation. Although it was not a complete part, with these translations, he finally discovered that there is indeed a record of the Immortality Pill in the "Three Emperors Bible". Perhaps this is indeed recorded in this ancient sacred book.
The method of refining the magic medicine.
But at the same time, Zhang Yi also discovered that if he wanted to fully understand the records of the Immortality Pill, he had to get the translation method for all the characters. Without any one of them, there was no way to completely translate it.
"Could it be...that there really is an elixir of immortality in this world?" Zhang Yi said a little confused for a moment. After all, as a person who devotes himself to medicine, this matter is simply unacceptable, regardless of Western medicine.
Or Chinese medicine practitioners, they may all regard immortality as their goal, but at the same time, I am afraid that not many people will think that this is possible.
Human beings always live with such contradictions, especially in medicine. Most people will devote themselves to this cause in order to cure certain terminal diseases. There are also a few people with crazy ideas, but as they learn more about this field
After that, they slowly gave up the idea because they realized that it was impossible.
Zhang Yi also hopes to have medical skills that can cure all diseases, and also hopes to be able to refine the miracle medicine of immortality. This is the basic desire of a doctor and an ordinary person. But he knows that desire is desire, and even fantasies are
It can't be said that it's impossible to achieve. But now, he was wavering.
"Haha, brother, you are thinking too much. From my point of view, this is just a trick used by some charlatans to deceive people. If one could live forever, I am afraid the world would still be ruled by the Qin Dynasty." Dai Minghao patted Zhang Yi.
on his shoulders. He saw Zhang Yi's confusion. Although he was not a medical student, he also knew that this kind of confusion coming from his profession was very dangerous. It was like if a tomb robber really believed that there were ghosts in the world, then he
Your career life is coming to an end.
"Second brother is right, I was overthinking it." Zhang Yi smiled slightly and said calmly. But in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh. If it was fabricated out of thin air, it would naturally not be credible, but this method
The root of it comes from the "Three Emperors Bible", I can't help but believe it.
"Sigh... That's what I said, but this kind of thing is simply a hot potato. After all, it points directly at the most sensitive nerves of human beings. If outsiders know that this thing is in our Dai family, no matter what we do, even if it is about to
If you hand it over, it will inevitably lead to death." Dai Mingchao shook his head helplessly, regretting that he had taken out this thing.
"Third brother, don't worry, I will never tell others about this." Zhang Yi assured Dai Mingchao. If someone showed such an important thing to him, of course he would not be able to betray his friends.
"Haha, brother, of course I believe you, but I just want to tell you that this matter is not trivial. Whether it is true or false, it is earth-shattering. Whatever secrets you have, we two brothers will not ask about it, but you must do it yourself
Remember, you must not tell anyone about this elixir of life. You must not let anyone know that you have something related to this." Dai Mingchao said very seriously.
Zhang Yi was shocked. The character translation he was looking for actually had something to do with the elixir of life. If this matter spread, I'm afraid even the Wu Shengmen would not be able to protect themselves.
"Thank you, Third Brother, for reminding me. I will keep this in mind." Zhang Yi clasped his fists seriously and returned the Tonggu Notes in his hand.
Dai Mingchao put away the pamphlet and sent Zhang Yi out of the Dai family together with Dai Minghao. Although the three brothers were far apart in age, they had a really good relationship. After parting with each other, Zhang Yi rushed to the airport without stopping to catch the flight.
Left Xi'an.
He did not expect that during this trip to Xi'an, he not only found Miao Zhenlei, but also did not embarrass his master. He also got the translation of the "Three Emperors Bible". It can be said that he only had these three things to do when he came to Xi'an.
, now everything has been successfully resolved. But at this time, he was extremely depressed, thinking about whether the longevity pill in the "Three Emperors' Bible" was real and whether it could really make people immortal.
Zhang Yi is not happy because he has such a treasure, because he knows very well what the word immortality means to human beings. If this is true, is having it a good thing or a bad thing?
This time he got the character translation, and Zhang Yi mastered the "Three Emperors Bible" a little more, and it was still a considerable part. What he had mastered before was only the part recorded in understandable characters. Although
It is also infinitely wonderful, but compared with what it is now, it suddenly seems a lot superficial.
Zhang Yi closed his eyes slightly on the plane and carefully comprehended part of the new translation of the "Three Emperors Bible". He even admired the wisdom of our ancestors in ancient times. Just relying on this part of the translation, his understanding of Chinese traditional medicine was greatly improved.
It suddenly increased two or three times. Some of the mysterious medical techniques and magical ancient prescriptions gave him more things to use when practicing medicine.
Perhaps because there were too many things on his mind, Zhang Yi didn't notice that not far behind his seat, two men were watching him silently and whispering to each other from time to time.
After getting off the plane, Zhang Yi walked out of the terminal and took a taxi. The two men followed closely behind, quietly following...
