Xu Fu came over from behind and said to the First Emperor: "Your Majesty, please lend me your Majesty's sword."
The First Emperor turned back to look at Xu Fu. Xu Fu continued: "If you want to kill this man, this is not enough. Iron will only increase his pain and will not prevent his death. Your Majesty's sword has the spirit of a dragon. I borrow your Majesty's sword." Once used, this person can be killed."
Xu Fu wanted to kill the death row prisoner himself in front of the First Emperor. The First Emperor took off the sword from his waist and handed it to Xu Fu. Xu Fu took it with both hands and then strode to the front of the bones. At this time, the opening and closing of the bones' mouth slowly became more rapid, and the beating of the heart became more intense. The Emperor's eyes flashed. Watching without blinking, it felt as if the death row prisoner's heart was about to beat in the next moment.
Xu Fu arrived in front of Bai Gu, holding the scabbard of the sword in his left hand, and slowly pulled out his right hand. Then he aimed the tip of the sword at Bai Gu's heart and stabbed it in gently. As the tip of the sword penetrated, his heart suddenly contracted inward, and then exploded. Xu Fu had no time to dodge, and blood splashed all over his face, and some even splashed on the corners of the First Emperor's clothes.
The First Emperor ignored the dirty blood and stepped forward to look at the bones. At this time, the bones had no movement and were completely dead. Xu Fu wiped the sword clean with his own clothes, put it into the scabbard, and handed it back to the emperor with both hands.
"Your Majesty, the criminal has been punished."
The First Emperor took the sword back and nodded. He touched his sword and asked casually: "Besides my sword, what other flaws does he have?"
Xu Fu shook his head: "Unless the heart is pierced, he will be immortal. But iron cannot pierce his heart. Apart from His Majesty's sword, only some ancient magic weapons can cause some damage to him."
After hearing Xu Fu's words, the First Emperor neither believed nor disbelieved. He didn't even make any other expression. He just said to the eunuch next to him: "Show me."
That night, the First Emperor hosted a banquet for Xu Fu. The two drank for a long time. The First Emperor looked to the side, and the eunuch understood and retreated on his own. Then the First Emperor smiled and said to Xu Fu: "Who does Xu Qing study under?"
Xu Fu put down his wine glass, stood up and said back and forth: "I learned from Mr. Guigu."
The First Emperor motioned Xu Fu to sit down and continued to ask: "Mr. Guigu has countless disciples. I have heard of Pang Juan and Sun Bin's strategies, but I have never had any alchemists."
"Mr. Guigu is a sage seeker. Although he has always been in Yunmeng Mountain, he has countless tricks. The way of the alchemist is just a way for Mr. Guigu to pass the time when he has nothing to do."
"Xu Qing, since you learned the art of alchemy from Mr. Guigu, didn't you learn the method of refining the elixir of immortality from Mr. Guigu? It is said that Mr. Guigu is extraordinary and has lived for more than two hundred years."
"Although Mr. Guigu made elixirs, he never ate them. He said that elixirs were created by heaven and earth, and eating them would be contaminated by cause and effect. He didn't want to leave Yunmeng Mountain, so he didn't want to be contaminated by cause and effect."
The First Emperor nodded, then suddenly changed the topic and said: "Xu Qing, after taking this elixir of immortality, will he be like a prisoner on death row today? Unless his heart is damaged, he will remain immortal?"
Xu Fu nodded: "If the heart dies, the body dies, otherwise there will always be a glimmer of hope to survive."
"Then how many people know about this matter?" the First Emperor said lightly, as if it was an insignificant matter.
"Other than me, only Your Majesty and the guards present today know about it."
The First Emperor got the answer he wanted and no longer dwelled on the matter. After the two had a few drinks, the First Emperor said again: "Xu Qing, this time you brought back the elixir of immortality and you are indestructible. What else do you want in return?"
Xu Fu stood up at this time and said back and forth: "I only wish that your majesty will enjoy immortal blessings forever and live as long as heaven."
The First Emperor smiled and said: "I want to live as long as the sky? Haha... I want to live as long as the sky. But I don't want to die first. Xu Qing, do you have any other ways? Can I live forever by not dying?"
Xu Fu replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I will go to the Three Immortals Island in the East China Sea and ask the immortals to give me the elixir that will prevent me from dying."
After hearing this, the First Emperor was overjoyed and said: "Okay, okay! Xu Qing is really willing to go?"
"I will not give up even if I die, but..."
"But what?"
Xu Fu hesitated for a moment and continued: "But... Your Majesty, you need a sacrifice to pray for the elixir."
"What sacrifice."
"Five thousand boys and girls."
After hearing this, the First Emperor nodded and said, "I will ask people to prepare tomorrow. Xu Qing will go there when the preparations are complete."
Xu Fu knelt down and accepted the order: "I obey the order."
…………
Tianjisou said at this time: "After Xu Fu's second trip to the East, he did not come back until the death of the First Emperor. There are rumors that after Xu Fu found an immortal in the East China Sea, he also entered the fairyland and stopped caring about worldly affairs. Ha... I'm afraid Xu Fu's second trip When I first crossed east, I never thought about coming back."
Du Jie nodded after hearing this. He knew without thinking that the First Emperor had killed all the guards on that day. Now only Xu Fu and the First Emperor know the flaws after taking the elixir. Once the First Emperor really gets the elixir that prevents death, the first one will die. The one is Xu Fu.
"So what does this have to do with the living dead?"
Tian Jisou continued: "Before Xu Fu made his second eastward journey, he gathered all the people in the alchemist sect."
On that day, all the alchemists in the world gathered together, and Xu Fu sat in the middle, waiting for everyone to arrive. Xu Fu pressed his hand down to signal to be silent. Then he said unhurriedly: "I am going to the East China Sea this time and I don't know when I will come back. I have something to tell you."
Everyone held the ceremony and waited for Xu Fu to continue.
Xu Fu said calmly: "From today on, the alchemist sect is disbanded. From now on, no one among you is allowed to call yourself an alchemist."
As soon as Xu Fu finished speaking, there was a sudden noise. No one understood why Xu Fu was doing this? Xu Fu's closest disciple asked: "Master, it is not easy for the alchemist sect to achieve what it has achieved so far. Why should the alchemists be disbanded? The disciples are not allowed to think of themselves as alchemists."
"It's very simple, just avoid the disaster of annihilation."
"The disaster of annihilation of our family? Who in the world can compete with us now. How could we have the disaster of annihilation of our family?"
Xu Fu shook his head and asked, "Isn't there?"
The apprentice thought for a long time and couldn't think of anything. Xu Fu slowly said at this time: "Have you forgotten how the Mo family died?"
Mohist family? After hearing this, the disciple asked in disbelief: "Master is working for His Majesty now, how could he end up like the Mo family?"
Xu Fu sneered and said: "You are too naive. When are you going to ask why you are doing something for His Majesty? Your Majesty only asks about gains and losses. This time I go to the East China Sea, you can go with me. Don't stay, lest you secretly gather other people and The alchemist brought him to the point of no return."
Xu Fu said this, and then pressed his hand down. The noise slowly subsided, and Xu Fu said: "I know you are confused, but I don't have time to explain. You can disperse. I say That’s it, let’s live and die according to our destiny from now on.”
After saying this, Xu Fu walked out on his own, leaving behind a group of bewildered alchemists.
At night, three alchemists took advantage of the darkness to come to Xu Fu's residence and knelt down outside Xu Fu's door. They knelt for four or five hours.
Just after the ugly hour, Xu Fu's voice came from inside the house: "You three come in."
The three of them were overjoyed after hearing this. They stood up, straightened their clothes, and then walked in slowly one by one.
At this time, Xu Fu was holding a book and reading it carefully. The three of them did not dare to make any noise when they entered the room, and Xu Fu did not speak. The air seemed to be frozen. After another long while, Xu Fu slowly put down the book, then looked at the three of them expressionlessly and said, "You three haven't left. Is there anything you want to tell me?"
The three of them looked at each other, and finally one of them said: "Master, we want to seek immortality. In order to escape the suffering of reincarnation."
Xu Fu looked at his three disciples. These three were his disciples with extremely high understanding. Xu Fu didn't give them any nonsense. He just sighed and said, "Birth, old age, illness and death are human relations. Is immortality really good?"
"Please master, please help me."
"At this time yesterday, I made a divination for myself, and the noodles showed that I will never return to the Central Plains during my eastward journey. But the method of immortality will not be cut off. If you want to ask for it, then take it."
After speaking, he handed over the book in his hand. The three of them were overjoyed. The leader hurriedly walked over and Xu Fu handed over the book. The man held the book in his palm and saw three big characters "Wan Bi Shu" written on the cover.
The three of them took the book and knelt on the ground: "Thank you, Master."
Xu Fu continued at this time: "I know you have guessed that the elixir given to His Majesty was refined by me myself. Here is the formula and method of taking the elixir. Now that you have the method, there are a few things you need to pay attention to. Things. Forgot to remember."
"Disciples listen to the teacher's instructions."
"First, as I said during the day, there will never be an alchemist in the future, and you will definitely not think of yourself as an alchemist in the future."
Although the three of them were puzzled, they nodded at the same time.
"Secondly, this method takes over the fortunes of heaven and earth. People with poor fortunes and short lives should not try it. Otherwise, they may die suddenly on the spot."
Only then did the three of them realize that this method could not really make them live forever. When Xu Fu said this, they were a little worried about gains and losses. One of them asked: "Teacher, aren't the death row prisoners in prison considered people with a poor fortune and a short life?"
Xu Fu glanced at him and replied: "Lao Ai is the symbol of great wealth and great honor."
"What, that person is Lao Ai?"
Xu Fu ignored him and continued: "The third point is also the most important point. From now on, the method of immortality cannot be taught to other people, otherwise the world will be in chaos. Remember this!"
The three of them said yes in succession. Xu Fu didn't care whether they were sincere or fake, he just waved his hand and said: "The goal has been achieved, you can leave."
Although the three of them looked ashamed at this time, their thoughts were all on "Wanbi Shu". Seeing Xu Fu asking them to leave, the three of them hesitated for a moment and then withdrew.
Xu Fu felt relieved at this time and said to himself: "Every cause will bear fruit. The Central Plains will be very peaceful in the future, but what does all this have to do with me?"
