It seems to reveal the reasons why emperors with great achievements in history died suddenly and mysteriously. Qin Shihuang died suddenly, Li Shimin died suddenly, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also died suddenly, and their deaths were all related to elixirs and alchemists.
Moreover, this is recorded in history books and is not nonsense.
But this is just the surface. Is the real reason really like what Master Guo Huai said, that he died suddenly because his extended life span has expired?
And because these emperors lived longer than expected, they brought retribution, so serious turmoil occurred after their death. For example, when Qin Shihuang died, Hu Hai usurped the throne, and uprisings broke out in various places. After Li Shimin's violent death, Wu Fu established Zhou Dynasty and killed the Li family.
There are countless descendants, and after the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang had power
, during this period, Li Xiuyuan, an emperor who was deposed by Huo Guang, was also seen.
That was the Yin Tianzi who was executed outside Jinling City that day and was granted the title of Marquis of Haihun.
"The history books at home are not burned thoroughly enough." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.
He felt that Master Guo Huai had not deceived him, because there was no need for it, and Taoists were also taboo about lying, especially about things related to emperors of the past dynasties, and they did not dare to make up random things.
"I don't know whether the Taoist priest came to Danding Taoist Temple to ask for elixirs or medicine? The poor Taoist knows this place quite well and may be able to help." Master Guo Huai said.
Li Xiuyuan came back to his senses and said, "I'm not asking for elixirs or medicine, but I'm looking for a fox, to be precise, a fox spirit. I've been practicing Taoism for five hundred years and was captured here. I
I want to save that vixen and leave."
"Oh, fox spirit?" Master Guo Huai's expression changed slightly: "The Taoists who come here are all asking for medicine. The alchemists of the Danding Sect rarely use spirits as medicine. If the Taoist priest wants to come here to look for fox spirits, he is probably looking for the wrong thing.
Maybe you can go to the first floor and have a look. There are many fairy birds, auspicious beasts, fox spirits and the like.
There are quite a few.”
"What would a Taoist do if he catches a fox spirit protected by merit?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
Master Guo Huai said: "Maybe some immortals or masters will want one or two spirits to act as boys, do miscellaneous things, and receive guests."
"What would the immortal give in exchange?" Li Xiuyuan asked again.
"Probably something like Ganoderma lucidum and fairy grass. For immortals, they travel around the world and collect medicines much easier than us Taoists. They don't use the fairy medicine they pick, so they either send it in or take it away.
If you don't want to repay others' kindness, it's not impossible to replace it with a vixen." Guo Huai
True truth.
"Yes, the alchemists of the Alchemy Sect don't need spirits, but they do need Ganoderma lucidum. Could it be that some disciples of the Alchemy Sect capture the spirits in exchange for Ganoderma lucidum?" Li Xiuyuan said.
Master Guo Huai pondered: "This poor Taoist has never thought about it, but if the Taoist thinks that the Danding Sect is suspicious, you can go find it. Although I don't know where the Taoist got the news from, if the Danding Sect is really involved,
I believe the Danding Sect will not tolerate such evil words."
"I hope so, then I won't disturb the Taoist priest. I will continue to inquire around." Li Xiuyuan bowed and said goodbye.
Master Guo Huai watched Li Xiuyuan leave, his brows tightened involuntarily.
"Master, why don't you make an elixir today? The medicinal materials have been prepared." At this time, a Taoist from the Alchemy Sect came up to him respectfully and gave him a salute.
"Which disciples have been in and out of Tianmu Mountain in recent days?" Master Guo Huai asked.
The Taoist said: "Master, this disciple doesn't know, but if I give you a few hours, I should be able to figure it out."
"Okay, I'll give you half a day to find out. Remember, any disciple can be counted as long as he has been in and out of Tianmu Mountain, even poor Taoists are no exception." Guo Huai said.
"Disciple understands." The Taoist responded, and then said curiously: "It's just that the disciple is a little curious. Why is the master checking this? Which disciple made a mistake."
Master Guo Huai stood with his hands behind his hands, looked at the direction in which Li Xiuyuan left and murmured: "It's not as simple as a disciple making a mistake, it's because our sect general may be in catastrophe. The elixir of immortality is about to be refined, but something like this happened suddenly today.
Does God really not want such an elixir to be born?
Even before the elixir is refined, disaster is already brewing."
Thinking of this, he could only sigh.
The alchemists of the Alchemy Sect throughout the ages all wanted to practice the elixir of immortality.
It just fails every time for various reasons.
The experts of the Alchemy Sect had long realized that the reason for the failure of the alchemy was not lack of medicinal materials or lack of skills, but rather the divine punishment.
Therefore, in this generation, Master Guo Huai chose to refine elixirs in Tianmu Mountain.
This is a small world. Even if the monsters become immortals here, there will be no disaster.
Therefore, Master Guo Huai thought that he could hide the truth and successfully refine the elixir of immortality.
But he already smelled the smell of disaster today.
Is it true that God cannot be bullied?
Li Xiuyuan didn't know what Master Guo Huai was thinking. What he was thinking about now was how to find the two Taoist priests of the Danding Sect, who were the senior brothers of the Taoist Shang.
With such news, he thought it would not be difficult to find out.
The premise is that you have to find the Taoist priest of the Danding Sect to find out the truth.
But would people from the Danding Sect say it casually?
"It seems that the only thing that can be done is inducement. Aren't the Taoists of the Danding Sect asking for Ganoderma lucidum?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly: "I remember that I still have some thousand-year-old jelly in my hand, which was left behind by the Polygonum multiflorum essence that day."
He touched the Ghost King's bag and took out a small piece of something like a dry branch.
This is the root of the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum essence.
It's real jelly grass, not on the same level as that blood lingzhi.
Thinking of this, he immediately took this object and walked to the place where the Taoists gathered the most.
In front of me, a group of Taoists gathered around and let out continuous exclamations of exclamation.
"Rare, rare, really rare. I have only seen it in Taoist canon and ancient books for many years. I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today. This is really a great experience."
"The legendary Changbai Mountain Ginseng Baby actually exists. How many years has it been around?"
"It takes at least five hundred years to be able to transform into the Tao. However, the plant spirits and monsters attained Tao very late. It takes at least three hundred years for the ginseng essence to channel spirits. In addition, after practicing for five hundred years, this ginseng baby's medicine age is at least
Eight hundred years is comparable to a thousand-year-old fairy grass."
These Taoists in the crowd exclaimed again and again.
Li Xiuyuan squeezed over and took a look, and was immediately surprised.
He saw a chubby baby with yellow skin whose hands and feet were bound in red by a person and was held in his hand.
"Let me go, let me go quickly, you bad guys." The ginseng baby struggled hard, yelled, and waved its chubby arms and legs in an attempt to break free.
But the red color wrapped around it glowed red, locking its path and preventing it from breaking free.
