Chapter 8 Red Sparkling

 Liang Shicheng smiled and unscrewed the lid of the jade bottle of "I Riding a Green Bull", poured out a handful of rejuvenation elixir, held it in his left hand, and presented it to Lin Lingsu, whose mouth was forcibly pried open by two imperial guards.
Lin Lingsu shouted inarticulately: "The Emperor Changsheng can't do it! Liang Xianhuan can't do it!"

Since the first time he met the original owner Zhao Ji, he has been telling his lies that we are all immortals in the Jiuxiao Palace in the sky. Therefore, he has always called Master Liang an immortal eunuch, which is also according to Lin Lingsu's

According to the "Jiuxiao Sect", even if Liang Shicheng was an immortal in heaven before reincarnation, he was still a eunuch servant of the Zhao Guan family when he was the Immortal Emperor in heaven in his previous life.

"Hehe..." Liang Shicheng smiled meaningfully. He is a smart person. Perhaps without the burdens underneath him, he can see everything more clearly.

When he entered politics six years ago, the Zhao Guan family believed in Lin Lingsu. Although on the surface he appeared to believe in Taoism as much as the Zhao Guan family, in his heart he had long felt that Lin Lingsu was a bunch of nonsense.

Liang Shicheng smiled at the two imperial guards and ordered: "You two, let go. Our family has something to say to Taoist Lin."

The two guards of the Forbidden Army pried open Lin Lingsu's mouth after hearing the order of Liang Shicheng, the eunuch known as the "Hidden Prime Minister". Now that Liang Shichengdu had spoken, they naturally let go.

Zhao Ji was a little puzzled when he saw this. He just sat on the dragon chair and continued to watch what Liang Shicheng was going to do.

Lin Lingsu, who could speak normally, immediately begged for mercy and shouted: "Pindao has a sincere heart towards the Immortal Emperor! Pindao can swallow it according to the dose, but he cannot swallow so many rejuvenation elixirs at one time.

Ah! Please ask Liang Daguan to intercede for me."

"Director Lin, please stop shouting. Let's give you some advice!" Liang Shicheng stopped smiling and advised seriously:

"Taoist Master Lin, think about it, this bottle of rejuvenation elixir that Zhao Guan's family rewarded you tonight, since it was refined by you yourself, if you don't swallow it twice as much as the holy will, then how can you make the officials and our family believe in this bottle?"

Is there no problem with the Rejuvenation Pill?"

After hearing this, Lin Lingsu couldn't help but suddenly realized. So, there was something wrong with this bottle of rejuvenation pill, which made Zhao Guan's family treat me like a prisoner. But, how could there be something wrong with this bottle of rejuvenation pill?

Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair watching the show, also understood why Liang Shicheng made it so that the imperial guards did not have to pry Lin Lingsu's mouth open. It turned out that Liang Shicheng did have a way of doing things. He wanted Lin Lingsu to

Swallow the rejuvenation pill willingly.

At this time, Lin Lingsu thought carefully and was extremely frightened, and said: "Sir Liang, this rejuvenation elixir, Pindao also told Zhao Guan's family that you should not take more than three pills a day! Moreover, you should not swallow it before having sex.

Take more than two pills of the rejuvenating elixir!"

After Zhao Ji heard Lin Lingsu's defense, he complained in his heart:

"Lin Lingsu, you are numb! Didn't my original owner, Song Huizong Zhao Ji, swallow the two rejuvenation pills in advance in the boudoir of Li Shishi, the oiran of Fanlou, according to the dosage you gave?

I haven’t seen any effects, but it’s very possible that I gave the drug to the original owner of my body, Zhao Ji, to death.”

Of course, Zhao Ji also doubted whether the original owner was killed by the rejuvenation pill.

As a time traveler, he knows that the ancient emperors did not end well if they took the elixirs refined by Taoist priests.

The main reason is that when alchemists or Taoist priests refine elixirs, the main ingredient is cinnabar.

Zhao Ji remembered the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" that he had read before traveling through time. It seemed to have said: Alchemy is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. The best elixirs can make people become immortals. The elixirs are given to the emperor.

The medicine is usually the best external elixir.

Zhao Ji, who has some knowledge of modern chemistry, knows the chemical principles of alchemy.

Refining alchemy involves mixing a variety of highly tonic Chinese medicines with several times the amount of cinnabar (cinnabar), heating and refining them in an alchemy furnace for a period of time, and then steaming them out of the furnace to get the desired effect

Extremely beautiful, red granular substance - elixir.

Although the elixir looks beautiful, ancient people basically regarded it as a treasure.

However, the time traveler Zhao Ji knew that this red elixir was as poisonous as the plant sung in the song "Red Sparkling" that he heard on the Internet before traveling.

The difference is that people who accidentally eat poisonous mushrooms like "Red Shining" will be "carried away" and "buried in the mountains"...

This red so-called elixir is not as toxic as the poisonous mushroom "Red Shining", but if it is taken for a long time, people will not live long.

The scientific principle behind this is that the toxic ingredients are determined by the materials used in elixir making.

When making alchemy, the main component of cinnabar (cinnabar) used is mercury sulfide, whose chemical name is (hgs) and contains approximately 86.2% mercury.

When cinnabar encounters high temperatures in the furnace, it will decompose into mercury, which will then be heated and sublimated. The mercury will combine with sulfur-containing substances and the powdered flue gas of various precious traditional Chinese medicines to obtain shiny, red mercury sulfide, which becomes

The so-called elixir.

Zhao Ji also knew that in addition to containing a large amount of toxic mercury sulfide, this elixir usually also contains various heavy metals, such as nitrates and other harmful substances.

Therefore, if people take elixirs or elixirs refined by alchemists for a long time, they are more likely to get sick or even die...

There are too many examples of emperors who took elixirs and fell ill or died suddenly in their later years...

Zhao Ji lamented that the original owner of his body favored a Taoist priest and had been taking the elixirs refined by the Taoist priests, which gave him the opportunity to travel through time and become the eighth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty.

And as a time traveler who has mastered modern scientific knowledge and historical knowledge, I will never take the so-called "elixir" again. What the hell, didn't I travel to the world of immortals and take some other elixir?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji became impatient and said: "Lin Lingsu, if you don't take the rejuvenation elixir I gave you, when will you wait?"

Liang Shicheng immediately spoke to Liang Shicheng with a serious face: "Taoist Master Lin, why don't you swallow this rejuvenation pill according to the holy will? By swallowing this bottle of pill, you can prove your innocence!"

Lin Lingsu thought about it and realized that she was now a prisoner. If she didn't follow the instructions, she would have poured this bottle of rejuvenation pill into her belly even if it was force-fed.

Lin Lingsu gritted her teeth and felt excited, just like when she was a teenager when she owed gambling debts and was asked to come to him, she ruined her reputation and scared away the creditors.

He laughed and said: "I am a poor man and I thank you for the reward from the officials!"

Lin Lingsu, who had his hands tied behind his back, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, then raised his head and said: "I have my hands tied, and when I swallowed this bottle of rejuvenation elixir, Senior Official Laoliang helped me!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!" Liang Shicheng said with satisfaction: "Let's feed Taoist Lin the elixir of rejuvenation right now."

As he spoke, he used the index finger and thumb of his right hand to pick up a rejuvenation pill that had fallen into the heart of his left hand and put it into Lin Lingsu's mouth.

Lin Lingsu was kneeling on the ground. When he closed his mouth, he didn't even chew, but directly swallowed the rejuvenation pill that Liang Shicheng fed him.

Then, Lin Lingsu opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue, showing that she had swallowed the rejuvenation pill to prove her innocence.

Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon throne, couldn't stand Lin Lingsu's pretentiousness.

He said angrily: "There are still eighteen pills left in this bottle of rejuvenation pills. Feed them one by one. How long will I have to wait for you?"

Liang Shicheng was so frightened that he trembled all over. He quickly turned to face Zhao Guan's family, knelt down and kowtowed: "It's all the old slave who deserves to die for wasting the official's time. The old slave then stuffed all the remaining rejuvenation pills into Daochang Lin's mouth.

Li."

Lin Lingsu:…………

Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction and said: "I can rest assured that you are doing your job!"

Liang Shicheng trembled all over again. He felt inexplicably that although Zhao Guanjia's words didn't sound very clear, he felt like he was very powerful and valued him very much.

Liang Shicheng stood up, turned around and walked to Lin Lingsu again, with a stern expression on his face and said:

"Taoist Lin, have you heard the edict?

Don’t waste time, open your mouth wide and swallow this rejuvenating elixir in one gulp!”

As he spoke, he poured all the elixirs from the white jade bottle embossed with "I rode a green ox out of Hangu Pass" into his left hand.

Each rejuvenation pill is about the size of a soybean, shiny and red. There are still eighteen pills left, and there is a small pile in Liang Shicheng's left hand.

Lin Lingsu frowned. He knew that taking too much of this rejuvenating elixir at once would not be a good thing.

However, now in order to prove his innocence, he can only act decisively.

"Come!" Lin Lingsu said, then raised his head and opened his mouth.

Liang Shicheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's a pleasure!"

He was afraid that he would mess up the errand ordered by Zhao Guan's family.

He carefully protected his left hand with his right hand, and pressed all the small pile of rejuvenation pills in the palm of his left hand into Lin Lingsu's open mouth.

Then, Liang Shicheng used his right hand to forcefully close Lin Lingsu's chin, asking her to close her mouth tightly.

Lin Lingsu struggled to swallow the rejuvenation pill...

"Hiccup!"

Suddenly, Lin Lingsu felt that it was becoming difficult to breathe?

Zhao Ji rolled his eyes when he saw Lin Lingsu...
