Returning to the palace, Ying Zheng was helped to the study by Zhao Gao.
After sitting down, Ying Zheng motioned to Zhao Gao to wait outside the door.
Zhao Gao turned around and went out. Li Si came to the opposite side of Ying Zheng and sat down.
"Sir, what you just said was that I provoked Tai Sui?" Ying Zheng asked rather weakly.
"Exactly." Li Si said calmly, "Does Your Majesty know what Tai Sui is?"
"I heard from folklore that it was a big black ball, like a ball of meat." Ying Zheng said weakly.
"Haha, that description is not false. We should wait until the king is cured." Li Si said with a smile on his lips.
"Is this disease easy to cure?" Ying Zheng asked.
"It's easy to cure." Li Si replied firmly.
Li Si took out a small pottery bottle, pulled out the cork, and poured out five red pills.
Ying Zheng asked weakly: "Isn't this the red elixir that senior gave me? Can it also cure this disease?"
"Of course you can, Your Majesty, you just need to use more," Li Si said.
After that, Li Si found a bowl, poured some more water, put five red pills into the water, then took out a dagger from his arms, stirred it, and dissolved the pills.
But he didn't know whether it was the red elixir that really worked, or whether there was something weird about Li Si's dagger.
After all five pills were dissolved, Li Si brought the bowl to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, drink it."
Ying Zheng originally wanted to ask something more, but out of his trust in Li Si, he stopped asking. He took the bowl, raised his head, and drank it all.
Li Si said: "Please rest for about a quarter of an hour, Your Majesty. After that, there should be nothing to do. If you have any questions, Your Majesty, you can ask them after you recover."
Ying Zheng nodded and was helped to the bed by Li Si, where he lay down to rest.
Within a few breaths, Ying Zheng fell asleep.
When the quarter hour came, Li Si didn't have the heart to wake Ying Zheng up.
It wasn't until two-quarters of an hour that Ying Zheng woke up leisurely.
After rubbing his eyes, Ying Zheng sat up. His headache, dizziness, and general weakness disappeared, as if he had had a dream about being ill.
Ying Zheng stretched hard, as if to drive out all the resentment accumulated in his body.
Li Si turned around and went out. He didn't know what he said, but a man entered the door together with Li Si.
It was Lu Buwei who came.
Lu Buwei was busy dealing with the surrender of troops these days. When he heard that Ying Zheng was back and was ill, he hurried to the palace. But outside the door, I heard that Ying Zheng needed a rest, so he kept waiting outside the door.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you fell ill on the road?" Lu Buwei asked eagerly.
Ying Zheng stood up and took a few steps back and forth, feeling the state of his body.
"I'm fine now. Father Lao Zhong is worried." Ying Zheng was surprised that he recovered so quickly, but his expression remained calm.
In Ying Zheng's impression, the effect of the red elixir was the time when he shed blood to recognize his relatives. As for when he first obtained it from the old man in white, the old man told him that the elixir could resist strange light, but due to the strange light He didn't show any symptoms, so Ying Zheng really didn't have any intuitive feeling about whether he could withstand the strange light or not.
But this time was different, Ying Zheng really felt the effect of the elixir.
"It's fine. I heard that the king is seriously ill, so I was very worried." Lu Buwei said sincerely, "Now that I see that the king is indeed fine, I feel relieved."
From Lu Buwei's eyes, Ying Zheng saw sincerity, and his worry came from his heart.
Ying Zheng turned his arms and waist a few more times: "It's really okay. I have recovered."
He didn't seem to care much on his lips, but Ying Zheng was greatly surprised in his heart.
Lu Buwei nodded and said, "That's good. Does your Majesty know what the disease is?"
Ying Zheng said with a thoughtful look: "I heard from the imperial doctor that he contracted some evil disease. After all, it is a cemetery and the yin energy is a bit strong. But after taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor for a few days, he is fine."
"Your Majesty, did the burial of Chenglong's body go smoothly?" Lu Buwei no longer dwelled on Ying Zheng's illness and turned to ask about business matters.
"It went very well," Ying Zheng said. "I wonder how General Zhong's father handled the matter of the rebels?"
"The old minister has followed the king's will, disrupted the organizational structure of the surrendered army, and added it to Wang Jian and Meng Wu's army." Lu Buwei said, "All the rebel generals have been executed. The remaining ones have also been condemned one after another. Go to Zheng Guoqu."
Ying Zheng nodded and didn't ask anything.
Lu Buwei saw that Ying Zheng was still a little tired and didn't want to disturb him any more, so he said: "Your Majesty, it is a good time to rest. If anything happens, I will summon the old minister immediately."
"I really want to take a rest, so I won't see Father Zhong off." Ying Zheng said.
"Old minister, please retire." Lu Buwei handed over his hands and walked out. After giving Zhao Gao a few words at the door, he walked out of the palace gate and went straight to the construction site of Gucheng Palace.
After Lu Buwei left, Ying Zheng quickly pulled Li Si to him and asked anxiously: "Sir, what exactly is this elixir that has such a miraculous effect?"
"Haha." Li Si smiled slightly, "This elixir is not an ordinary thing, and its effect is not to cure diseases. The only thing that can be told to the king at present is its name, which is called Linggu Dan."
"Linggu Pill?" Ying Zheng muttered in a low voice.
Li Si nodded and said: "As for the rest, I will tell the king when the time comes in the future."
Ying Zheng didn't get too entangled, and then remembered what Li Si mentioned about Tai Sui, and asked doubtfully: "I remember that Mr. I said that I was in the trap of Tai Sui, so what exactly is Tai Sui?"
Li Si looked at Ying Zheng and asked, "The king really wants to know?"
Ying Zheng nodded vigorously.
"Okay." Li Si sighed softly and said, "Sooner or later, the king will know about these things, and the humble ministers will tell them."
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si with a strange look and asked, "Isn't this the same old rule again?"
Li Si smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with the old rules?"
Ying Zheng smiled helplessly: "Okay, sir, may I ask."
Li Si asked: "Did Master tell the King before in Qishan Mountain that the place where we live has experienced three major floods?"
"Senior said it," Ying Zheng said, "but he told me to just listen to it as a story."
"Then I think it's okay for me to tell a story to the king." Li Si said.
"Are the stories that senior told me not stories?" Ying Zheng was slightly surprised and asked.
"Of course it's a story." List paused and said, "It's just that it's a relatively true story."
Ying Zheng frowned and lowered his head to think.
"I understand." Ying Zheng raised his head, looked at Li Si and said, "The reason why senior told me that those are myths and stories is actually because I was afraid that I would find them ridiculous and not believe what senior said."
"That's right." Li Si said.
"Sir." Ying Zheng's eyes were bright and he said sincerely, "I believe what the senior said, and I believe what the senior said even more. I believe that the senior said he would meet me in three years and then tell me what I need to know. We need to let the poor people have a process of adapting."
"Yes, Master's intention is indeed this." Li Si said.
"Then..." Ying Zheng seemed to be making a decision, "Since I have seen King Wu's Mausoleum and the things in it, how can I doubt that my senior and sir are lying. So I beg you, sir, if I can know it , I will tell you everything. If it is inconvenient for me to know now, then let me know it when the seniors meet me."
"Okay." Li Si said softly, "It's not that Li Si intentionally hid some things from the king, but based on the current understanding of the world, many things are difficult to imagine and understand. If the king really understands After preparing some truth, the minister gradually told the king some secrets."
Ying Zheng said firmly, "I am ready, sir. Let me start by talking about how Tai Sui caused my illness."
Ying Zheng said this because he was really ready to learn some secrets unknown to the world, and he also didn't want Li Si to ask him to guess slowly again in the form of questions and answers.
Li Si nodded and said: "The master mentioned the great flood to the king, so he should have also mentioned the purpose of the Jiuding. As for the separation of the dragon clan and the human clan, the master should also have mentioned it."
"Senior did say that the dragons were originally the rulers of this planet. Later, the humans discovered this planet and had a battle with the dragons." Ying Zheng said, "Sir, can you tell me first what the planet is?"
"This is not difficult to understand." Li Si explained, "The sun the king sees and the full moon he sees at night are both round, right?"
Ying Zheng nodded.
"Since they are all round, it is not difficult to understand that the land we live in is also a round ball." Li Si said.
Ying Zheng did not look very surprised: "That means that the land we live in is only a small part of this sphere, and this sphere is just one of the many stars."
"It can be understood this way." Li Si said, "But to be precise, the sun is one of the many stars, because at night, each of the stars we see is a sun, and they shine individually. They are even much larger than the sun. But because they are so far away, their light is already very weak when it reaches here."
Ying Zheng was stunned. He couldn't imagine that there were so many stars in the sky, and each one was a sun. It seemed that the story of Hou Yi shooting the sun was not necessarily a lie.
"The planet we are on is a dark star attached to the sun. It is divided into three parts land and seven parts ocean." Li Si continued, "But the original beginning was not like this. It was half land and half ocean. Divided into four seasons, it feels like summer all year round.”
Ying Zheng imagined the scene Li Si described.
"In the vast universe, there are two types of living creatures with different origins." Li Si said slowly, "One is the fetus line that is born from the womb, and the other is the egg line that is born from the egg. Due to the needs Their living environments are not the same, so they all have their own territories. Although they occasionally interact with each other, they do not infringe on each other."
Ying Zheng was a little confused after hearing this, so he asked: "Humans are born from the womb, as are pigs, horses, cows and sheep. This is the fetal line, right? And chickens, ducks, fish, snakes, etc. that lay eggs are eggs." Is it tied?"
"Exactly." Seeing that Ying Zheng understood quickly, Li Si raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "The Tai Chi attributes of the two families are different, so the control and use of energy are also different."
There were already many questions to ask, and the concept of Tai Chi was added. Ying Zheng's thinking was a little unable to keep up: "Is the Tai Chi that the gentleman talks about the same as the Tai Chi that the world knows?"
"The concept is similar, but the world's understanding of Tai Chi is very different." Li Si said, "As far as the understanding of yin and yang is concerned, the world's understanding is very different."
"Where is the deviation?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Tai Chi creates two phenomena, yang is energy and yin is matter. There is yin in yang, which means that energy can be condensed into matter, and there is yang in yin, which means that matter contains energy to varying degrees." Li Si said, "The so-called sun The origin of the word is that the ancients named it based on the extreme energy that this glowing and hot star continuously releases."
Ying Zheng frowned, thinking carefully about every word Li Si said.
"The egg system is a natural master of controlling various types of energy, so it currently exists among the Nine Netherworlds and controls the energy of this planet." Li Si spoke faster, "And the so-called Tai Sui is The egg-type guardian who separates Jiuyou and Jiuxiao."
Ying Zheng: "..."
"The king's groundbreaking is false, but the grief is real." Li Si said, "And this kind of grief condenses a lot of emotional energy, and the cemetery is a gathering place for this kind of emotional energy. Tai Sui used this method The energy attacked the king, causing most of the king's cells to be in a state of shock. Then such a reaction would occur."
Although he didn't understand everything, Ying Zheng understood to some extent why Tai Sui attacked him, and he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat again.
