When Mu Sheng listened to Zhang Daoling's narration of the past, he was also amazed at what happened to him. Thinking of what he had said just now, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Master, I have something to ask you!"
Zhang Daoling cupped his hands and said, "If you have any questions from Changping Jun, I will tell you everything I know."
Mu Sheng said, "National Master, you have talked so much about the benefits and magical effects of Guixu grass. Doesn't this kind of medicine with incredible magical effects have any side effects?"
Zhang Daocheng exclaimed, "Mr. Changping asked about the idea. This grass also has another name: Life and Death Grass."
Mu Sheng asked curiously, "Life and Death Grass?"
Zhang Daoling nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the grass of life and death! As the name suggests, it is the most powerful magical medicine in the world, and it is also the most poisonous poison in the world. For example, if you are unfortunately seriously injured and want to take this grass to save your life, there are only two kinds. As a result, life or death, even if a healthy person takes this medicine, there are only two results, life or death, life and death are both half and half. Whether you can survive it depends on your destiny. At the same time, it can stimulate physical cultivation and is one of its side effects. Even if it is three-dimensional The Mu people are also very cautious in using this herb."
After hearing this, Mu Sheng's throat immediately tightened, and he retched several times, trying to spit out the Guixu Pill he had just eaten, but he retched for a long time and nothing came out. Now he really wanted to beat the old man in front of him to death.
Zhang Daoling came up with a smile and patted his back and said, "Mr. Changping, please don't worry. How could the Guixu Pill refined by Pindao easily harm Your Majesty? I have only been practicing Taoism for a few years and I haven't lived enough yet. This Guixu Pill is a pill that has been refined and diluted by my master. Although it still cannot completely eliminate its toxicity, long-term use is not a big problem, especially for monks. It has many benefits. You will know its wonderful effects after you take it more."
Mu Sheng turned around and asked with a grimace, "Then what will be the consequences if ordinary people use it?"
Zhang Daoling's face darkened. He knew what Mu Sheng meant. The emperor's constitution was that of an ordinary person. It was hard to say what the consequences would be if he took it for a long time.
At this time, Zhang Daoling hesitated for a while and said, "For your Majesty, this Guixu Pill is like a chronic poison. No one knows when it will break out, but this is also your Majesty's choice. We, the ministers, can only act according to orders. Originally, I wanted to Just activate the monk's physique and just take Gui Xu Cao. Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor. Let's see if you can survive."
"But for His Majesty, who shoulders the heavy responsibility of the country, is rich all over the world, and is destined to return, we dare not take such a big gamble. No one can afford such consequences, and His Majesty cannot afford it either, so we have to save the country and save the country. Purify and dilute Gui Xucao to make an elixir, take it slowly and see if it can stimulate your Majesty's cultivation physique."
Mu Sheng looked solemn and said, "Do you have any successful experience in doing this?"
Zhang Daoling said, "Yes, and this palace has raised three thousand boys and girls who have no cultivation physique to test medicines for Your Majesty."
"The results of it?"
Zhang Daoling pondered for a long time and said with a sad look on his face, "What a pity! Only 132 of these 3,000 boys and girls survived, of which 24 were disabled. Except for the boys who had not activated their cultivation physique, the remaining fifty All nine of them have activated their monk physiques and have great potential for cultivation. This is the power of the Grass of Life and Death. However, the price is too heavy and harms the peace of the world. Sometimes I secretly lament that maybe I shouldn’t have revealed the imperial list in the first place. Unexpectedly, This unintentional mistake has killed so many children, this is my sin, hey!"
When Mu Sheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment. In this evil old society, for the selfish interests of the supreme ruler, he actually harmed living beings and didn't take people seriously. If it were him, he would never do it even if he died now. Using so many people to conduct such cruel experiments, who is not raised by their biological parents?
Mu Sheng was speechless for a moment and felt a little clogged in his heart. Both of them kept silent when they talked about this, and returned to the gate with a heavy heart all the way.
As the iron door slowly opened, a ray of sunlight shone in and shone on Mu Sheng, which seemed to dispel the heavy haze that had just enveloped him.
Zhang Daoling said, "Mr. Changping, let's go see the alchemy room! You can also meet my master along the way."
Mu Sheng asked curiously, "Is your master here too?"
Zhang Daoling said, "Yes, my master is Ahrami, the patriarch of the Sanmu clan. This Guixu Pill was refined by him."
Mu Sheng asked curiously, "Didn't you refine this Guixu Pill? Why did you become your master again?"
Zhang Daoling smiled bitterly and said, "A poor Taoist has only been practicing for a few years? How can my three-legged cat kung fu be compared with that of my master? I am just the agent of the Three-Eyed Clan who is pushed to the front. The appearance of the Three-Eyed Clan is different from ordinary people. I also refine elixirs for His Majesty, but it’s still difficult to get to the forefront to avoid criticism from the people of the country, so I, a native of the Central Plains, can only take on the empty title of this national master.”
"I see……"
In fact, Mu Sheng also wanted to meet the talented person behind this Dao Ling? So I followed him to see what was going on in the alchemy furnace.
The two passed through palace gates one after another, and saw another round main hall in the center of the square at the entrance, surrounded by four auxiliary halls. The round hall has a strange shape, just like a Yongding earth building. The alchemy room is mainly practical, and the shape is not like that of an emperor. The Tianji Temple where you practice is so gorgeous.
There were servants carrying coal in and out of the gatehouse around the alchemy room. The two passed through the layers of guards and arrived at the alchemy room. Only then did he see clearly what was going on inside.
The alchemy room is only two stories high, and each floor has its own separate compartments, which are filled with various medicine jars, rare medicinal materials, etc. There are also small alchemy furnaces in some compartments, which should be watched by alchemists. A place where auxiliary medicinal materials are processed.
In the center of the alchemy room stands a short stone tower-like building. From time to time, alchemists bring processed medicinal materials into the stone tower.
The stone tower that the two entered had a large space. As soon as they entered the door, a wave of heat hit them. Mu Sheng felt that he had immediately entered the unbearable heat of the dog days of summer.
There are five huge alchemy furnaces surrounding each other in the center of the tower. Each alchemy furnace is guarded by three alchemists who are shirtless and sweating. Several of them are wearing robes and walking back and forth to check the heat of the alchemy furnace.
At this time, Zhang Daoling led Mu Sheng towards a mysterious man in a burqa meditating behind the stone tower, calling himself Master.
Mu Sheng looked at her thin figure but didn't expect that she was Zhang Daoling's master. He also hurried forward to greet her. At this time, the mysterious man took off his burqa. Mu Sheng was stunned when he saw her true face.
A silver-haired beauty with bright Emei eyes looked at Mu Sheng and said calmly, "Are you Mr. Changping?"
She can actually speak Chinese dialect? Although the intonation is a bit strange, the pronunciation is relatively accurate. Although this woman belongs to the three-eyed tribe, there is no scarf on her forehead and no oil paint on her face. Apart from her silver hair, she looks quite normal.
The image of the patriarch also surprised Mu Sheng. He complained a little in his heart. Could it be that the patriarch is from the Ermu clan? The fewer eyes, the higher the status? Can I blind one of my eyes and become her leader?
Having said that, although she is from a foreign race, from the perspective of the Central Plains people, this woman is also a first-rate beauty.
After being surprised, Mu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully and said, "Greetings to the patriarch, I am none other than Lord Changping."
Ahrami nodded slightly and said, "Well! Mr. Changping doesn't need to pay such a big courtesy. We Sanmu tribesmen are not from the Central Plains like you. We don't pay much attention to this. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Seeing her going straight to the point, Mu Sheng had nothing to show off and asked directly, "I would like to ask the patriarch, are you here just to help my father refine the elixir?"
Ahrami pondered for a long time and said, "No! In addition to using this elixir for Your Majesty, we also need to use this elixir ourselves. If the country is destroyed, we can only hide on the island and survive. Naturally, we do not have the conditions to practice elixirs. His Majesty, the Emperor of the Central Plains, If you ask for immortality and medicine, of course we will do whatever you want."
Mu Sheng frowned and asked, "Then the patriarch came all the way here, is this the only reason?"
Ahrami said, "In addition to being the chief of the Sanmu Clan, I am also the eldest princess of the Laima Kingdom. My Laima Kingdom was destroyed by the Taisha Dynasty because of the Guixu Pill. This happened more than a hundred years ago. Well, I have been waiting for more than a hundred years for this opportunity. Now the Central Plains has finally been unified. Your Majesty has also promised to send troops to help our Sanmu people restore the country. After the restoration, we will surrender to the superior state and forever be the vassal vassal of the Jin Dynasty. The country, this is also one of the conditions in exchange for us to practice elixir for the emperor."
Mu Sheng suddenly said, "So that's it. The patriarch is really admirable. He still has not forgotten his ambition to restore the country after more than a hundred years."
At this time, Ahrami also sighed and said, "We have been in exile for more than a hundred years, and now my people are still under the slavery of the Taisha Dynasty. I can't sleep at night every time I think about this. I just don't know this." It has been more than a hundred years, do my people still remember us exiles..."
Hearing this, Mu Sheng could only comfort him and said, "Grand Chief, they will definitely remember you. As long as they can go back one day, they will naturally eat a pot of wine to welcome Master Wang."
Ahrami smiled and nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Changping, I hope so..."
After bidding farewell to the patriarch, Mu Sheng left the Tai Chi Palace alone to go home. By the way, he also received three boxes of Guixu Pills as a reward from the emperor. He opened the boxes and counted them. Each box contained twelve purple-red pills. The cost is 10,000 gold. One box of this is 120,000 gold, and three boxes are 360,000 gold. You can buy two magic weapons at a bargain price...
Mu Shengxin said, Oh my god...this emperor is the real money-making giant, and this does not include the cost of building the Tai Chi Palace.
Looking at the large gift box of elixirs in his hand, he felt... He didn't even know what to say. No wonder everyone was fighting to become the emperor. This treasury belongs to their own family, so they can make whatever they want...
At this moment, Zhang Daoling was still sitting next to the patriarch in the stone tower.
Zhang Daoling asked in confusion, "Master, why do you want me to deliberately get close to this Lord Changping? And tell him all the secrets in Taiji Palace?"
Ahrami said, "I know a little bit about the art of looking at Qi. A few months ago, Mr. Changping came to Taiji Palace to attend court. I watched him from a distance. I felt that this person has a destiny. Maybe in the future, our Sanmu clan will be restored." The great cause of the country will probably fall on this person. Now that His Majesty is old and frail, I am afraid that he will not be able to count on it..."
When Zhang Daoling heard this, his heart was like a turbulent wave and he could not calm down for a long time. He said, "Master, is it impossible to have this destiny?...But the current prince is still there?"
Ahrami said calmly, "The destiny of Lord Changping may not necessarily be fulfilled in the Central Plains."
If Zhang Daoling had some enlightenment, he said, "Master, are you saying that it is possible for Lord Changping to become the lord of the outside world?"
Ahrami frowned slightly when he heard this, and said in an ambiguous tone, "Heaven's secrets are unpredictable."
Zhang Daoling nodded slightly and said, "Master... I understand that I will get closer to this Lord Changping in the future."
Ahrami nodded slightly, then put on his burqa and continued to meditate without saying another word...
