The guards tied up Li Shui quickly.
As a result, Li Shui kept shouting: "Lu Lie destroyed my elixir, why didn't you tie him up?"
Lu Lie's face turned pale.
But who does the little eunuch care about who is right and who is wrong? He said directly: "Tie Lu Lie up too."
Li Shui shouted again: "These alchemists are all guilty. They all had a share in destroying my elixir."
The alchemists were all frightened and tried to defend themselves. But the little eunuch didn't even listen, and all of them were kidnapped. Of course, someone will decide whether they are guilty or not.
As a result, the alchemists were tied into a bunch and escorted out of Yingxian Palace in a mighty manner.
Li Shui walked in the front, arrogant, as if he had made great achievements.
The alchemists who followed behind all regretted it. If they had known that Huai Guzi was so crazy, they would not have joined in the fun. Now that he has failed in refining the elixir, he will undoubtedly die, but when he is about to die, wouldn't it be terrible if he bites back and drags a few people into the water?
The group of people trembled in fear, and were finally taken to a side hall by the young eunuch.
Li Shui saw a middle-aged man standing in the courtyard.
The middle-aged man was not wearing a cumbersome dragon robe or an imperial crown, just ordinary clothes, but his majestic demeanor was intimidating.
Li Shui immediately guessed that this person was Ying Zheng who had just unified the world.
The young eunuch shouted in a high voice: "Why don't you show respect to the king when you see him?"
So Li Shui and the alchemists behind him knelt down one after another.
Ying Zheng frowned, but ignored them and just looked at a room.
The door of that house was closed tightly, and there was a faint coughing sound inside.
After a while, the door opened and an old man with white hair and beard came out. He bowed to Ying Zheng and whispered: "The ulcer on the young master's back has swollen to a huge extent. It is red and tight and will burst at any time. At this time, it is no longer possible to use medicine."
Ying Zheng's expression changed and he asked: "What will happen once it breaks?"
The old man gritted his teeth and said, "It's hard for gods to save you."
Ying Zheng was a little depressed, sighed and said, "That's it, I'm destined to leave you."
The old man bowed and left carrying the medicine box.
Li Shui knelt on the ground, thinking: "Ulathenia? In fact, this thing is just a big pimple on the back. In later generations, it was not considered a disease at all, but in ancient times, it was simply a terminal disease, because once the ulcer collapsed, what followed was It's an infection. If the infection can be eliminated, it's not difficult to treat..."
Just when Li Shui thought of this, he heard Ying Zheng say calmly: "Who is Huai Guzi?"
Li Shui quickly raised his head and said, "I am Huaiguzi."
Ying Zheng's face was expressionless: "It has been ten days since you came to the palace, and you have not refined a single batch of elixir. Many people have told me that you are a liar. What do you say?"
Before Li Shui could speak, Lu Lie behind him said loudly: "Your Majesty, this Huaiguzi is really a liar. Everyone knows that elixirs belong to the Immortal Family. Such treasures can only be obtained from the Immortal Family. Isn't that right? Can it be refined by mortals? This demon is misleading the public with his evil intentions."
After Lu Lie spoke, the other alchemists also agreed. He said that elixirs can only be obtained from immortals and cannot be made by oneself.
At this time, Li Shui finally understood why Huaiguzi was hostile.
Originally, the alchemists in Xianyang were all seeking medicine.
This group of people is like the unreliable entrepreneurs of later generations. They boasted to the investor Qin Shihuang, attracted a large amount of investment, and then traveled around the world, euphemistically called looking for immortals.
After the money is spent, I will come back and say that the fairy mountain has something to look forward to, but the distance is long and the funds are not enough. So another investment was brought in.
As a result, Huaiguzi broke in rashly and said that there was no need to look for the fairy mountain, I could open a furnace to make elixirs. Economical and effective, it works quickly.
This is simply ruining the jobs of the alchemists. Smashing people's jobs and creating a life-and-death hatred, it's no wonder that Lu Lie was sarcastic and sarcastic towards Huaiguzi all day long.
Ying Zheng asked Li Shui: "What did you say?"
Li Shui said calmly: "All the alchemists have been searching for the immortal mountain for decades, but in the end they found nothing. Your Majesty, I won't blame you. Why do you want to blame me if I don't get the elixir in the next ten days?"
Ying Zheng was slightly startled and felt that there was some truth in this statement.
Li Shui was full of energy and continued to say to Ying Zheng: "I am just a mortal body, how difficult is it to refine the elixir? In the past ten days, I have been defeated and defeated again and again. Today I finally have some clues. But I didn't expect that I would be beaten by Lu Destroyed violently."
"Lu Lie and others have been sneaking around, spying endlessly, and adding cynicism, affecting my state of mind. As a result, one wrong step caused the immortal energy to suddenly arouse, like a torrential flood, all gathered in the small alchemy furnace. How could the alchemy furnace withstand it? It exploded suddenly, causing the alchemy room to be filled with smoke and dust. If the king doesn't believe it, let people know it at a glance."
Li Shui sighed and said with a sad face: "Refining the elixir also requires opportunities. With the right time, place and people like today, I don't know when we can gather them all. Maybe we can wait another ten years before we can refine the elixir. "
The alchemists around him almost fainted when they heard this. Huai Guzi is trying to trick everyone to death. Just one look at you and you’ve failed in making alchemy? This is really unreasonable.
Ying Zheng looked at the young eunuch beside him. The young eunuch understood and hurried away.
A quarter of an hour later, the young eunuch came with a man.
The man bowed and said, "Wei Ting is here to meet the king."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
Cao Peng said straight to the point: "The official has already inspected the alchemy room. I saw that the alchemy furnace was broken into pieces, and there were many cracks in the wall. Judging from the fractures, it was indeed not man-made. It seemed that there was a current in the alchemy furnace. The Qi suddenly expands and cannot be vented, so it explodes. As for whether this Qi is the so-called immortal Qi, I don't know."
When Lu Lie heard this, his heart became cold. Could it be that this guy Huai Guzi really made the elixir? Impossible, this is impossible.
His eyes were red, and he stared at Huaiguzi and said: "The elixir is a thing of the immortal family, why do you know how to refine it? You are obviously lying."
Li Shui shrugged nonchalantly: "A few months ago, I met an immortal in my dream. The immortal taught me the magic of immortality and ordered me to come to Xianyang to assist the king."
Lu Lie was going crazy. This lie was simply an insult to people's intelligence. He, Lu Lie, has been searching for immortals for ten years, but he has never dreamed about it. Why would this guy Huai Guzi dream about it?
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui coldly for a while and said calmly: "The explosion of the alchemy furnace may be caused by the elixir, or it may not be. How can you prove it yourself?"
At this moment, Li Shui suddenly realized that Ying Zheng was not as stupid as he thought. The lies I made up may not be able to deceive him.
That's right, since he was the emperor for eternity, how could he be so stupid and be fooled by the alchemists?
Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han just wanted to live forever so much that they would rather believe in their existence than their non-existence, and gave support to the alchemists with a ten thousandth of hope.
Once the emperor's patience is exhausted, he will kill these impostors. But their desire for immortality led them to support another group of scammers.
Li Shui's mind was clear at this time. He knew that he had to find a way to prove to Ying Zheng that he really had immortality. Otherwise, even if he doesn't kill himself, he will still have to lock himself up until he can refine the elixir.
Ying Zheng walked slowly to Li Shui and said with a cold face: "I am asking you, how can you prove it yourself? Do you want me to wait ten years for you to refine the elixir?"
Li Shui suddenly remembered something, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Your Majesty, ulcers are a terminal disease. If I can cure the ulcers on the young master's back, does this prove that he has magical powers?"
Ying Zheng suddenly changed his color and looked at Li Shui with a hopeful look on his face: "Is this true? If you can cure the ulcer, I will be rewarded."
Before Li Shui could answer, Ying Zheng's face darkened again and he said, "If you dare to deceive me, you will be cut in half."
Li Shui shuddered, but the cooked duck's mouth was hard, and at this time, he had to hold it straight.
He glanced at Lu Lie, raised his hands to Ying Zheng and said, "If I cure the young master, what will Lu Lie do?"
Ying Zheng said: "The false accuser will sit down. If you are innocent, Lu Lie will be cut in half."
Lu Lie suddenly felt dizzy.
Li Shui smiled at Lu Lie, and then said to Ying Zheng: "I, please check on the young master's condition."
