Mystery Makes Me Strong

Just when Wenren was promoted to a family and was at a loss, Lu Zhi gave the answer.

Before she gave the answer, she went to a secret room, and no one knew what she did in it.

Everyone can only see her holding the fur ball and turning into a porcupine...

They were all stabbed with needles, and they were dying.

"Tell them that on the other side of the sea, and on the other side of the mountain, there is the fountain of youth, the medicine of reincarnation."

She then said to Mao Qiu: "You have to make them believe it."

As she spoke, she inserted a needle into the opponent.

"Why did you change the needle?" Mao Qiu didn't answer, but asked an irrelevant question.

"It's a bit tiring to insert a knife, people are lazy, and I'm no exception." Lu Zhi took it for granted.

The furball was silent.

Afterwards, the ruling and opposition parties became excited.

"I heard no, there is a spring of immortality in the west!"

"It's fake. The pre-Qin once organized a sea search for the medicine of immortality. It was useless to exhaust the people's power. The medicine of immortality was not found, but it became one of the reasons for Qin's death."

"That's not necessarily true. It's rumored from the palace. It's said that the queen mother gave 300,000 taels of fat powder to prepare a ship for the sea. At the same time, she sent a land caravan to fight both sides. Now she is raising capital. Those who say that they are investors will have a chance." Get the fountain of youth."

"An honorable person like the Queen Mother believes it, so why don't you believe it?"

There was a lot of discussion among scholars.

Those who had money but nowhere to spend it began to feel agitated.

It's just that most people still feel that it's too ethereal and illusory.

Only a very small number of old rich men tentatively invested in a share, and it was better than nothing, so it was just a thought.

If you lose money, you should honor the Queen Mother.

"It's a joke, you don't talk about it, it's strange, and you don't know how many emperors and wise monarchs have been deceived by this kind of nonsense. I didn't expect that someone as shrewd as the Queen Mother who can read people's hearts would be fooled." The chief assistant of the cabinet faced three people at home The son shook his head.

"What my father said is that nothing is more feared in life than death. The Queen Mother is so majestic, so she naturally thinks of immortality, which is understandable." The eldest son echoed.

"Where did this news come from? Since the news is spread, it means that it is groundless. There must be a reason." The second son was smarter, but thought of another place.

"It must be those profit-seeking Westerners who found some messy pills and used them as elixir to deceive the Queen Mother. I have seen this kind of thing a lot before, using white elephants as auspicious signs. These seemingly honest Westerners will There are so many tricks to play." The third son said disdainfully.

"What the third brother said makes sense. Forget it. If the queen mother is obsessed with the theory of immortality, it is a good thing, so as not to toss the court and drive away the Ming Dynasty. Boss, if you take out one thousand taels of silver, we will treat it as our honor to the queen mother." Shoufu talking.

The money is not much, but the attitude is there.

Whoever opposes this kind of thing just doesn't want the Queen Mother to live forever.

Therefore, those who advised the emperor not to make alchemy in history will not have good fruit to eat.

You don't let me make alchemy, and you don't give me other ways to live forever, because you want to watch me die, right?

Then before I die, I will kill you first.

That's what the emperor thought.

So throughout history, few people can persuade kings not to pursue longevity...

So what if he is as wise as Tang Taizong?

It is said that he is the most wise master, with a big heart and good at accepting advice, isn't he obsessed with alchemy? In the end, he died of the elixir.

ridiculous.

Shoufu was born as the second place in the list, and he can say that he can see the lines on the palm of his hand for those histories, and he couldn't be more clear.

So he will not persuade at all.

Whoever persuades whoever dies.

As a result, the iron-headed baby really exists.

Zuo Yushi, who was born as a top-ranking Jinshi, said: "Chen Zuogang risked his life to remonstrate: Since ancient times, there has never been anyone who has obtained the medicine of longevity and lived forever, let alone someone who has obtained the medicine of longevity and sat in the world forever..."

After reading the memorial on this person, Shoufu felt that he was dead.

Others also persuaded this upright censor to withdraw.

They didn't have good intentions, but felt that such iron-headed babies should be used at critical times, after all, the Queen Mother's eyes are too poisonous.

However, unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager did not grant him death, but issued an edict instead:

"It was not possible in ancient times, but it may not be possible today. In ancient times, there were no large ships from overseas, but today there are. In ancient times, there was no such a large territory, but today there are."

"If you say no, then you go to sea and prove it to the Ai family."

"If you prove it, Aijia will believe you."

Uh, the empress dowager's move made the ministers unable to understand.

The Queen Mother seemed sure there were overseas.

Otherwise, how could you say such a thing.

With the honor of the Empress Dowager, where is the need to talk to a sixth-rank censor?

It is enough to directly order to be punished with "big disrespect".

The shrewd courtiers began to find things interesting.

Some people start to get excited.

Of course, there are still very few people who act.

…………

The first fleet finally went to sea.

Time suddenly sped up and came to three years later.

When the fleet went out, there were thirty ships in size, but when they returned, there were only six ships, which were still devastated and dilapidated.

It's daunting, and the color changes when you talk about it.

This is the root cause of why big landowners are reluctant to go to sea.

No one wants to go to the sea to make a living if they are not driven to a dead end.

"That's not right. I remember that there was also a large fleet sailing to the west in the previous dynasty. It seems that the casualties were not so heavy?" Shoufu thought there was a way.

It must have been drifted away, and several boats were smuggled to other places as soon as they went out.

The reason why it cannot be transported by sea is that it is too easy to manipulate at sea, and no one is watching.

"Because we are going to the ocean, the previous dynasty was only sailing in the coastal waters. When we came to the farthest place in the previous dynasty, the local people told us that the spring of immortality is in the deep sea, and we should look for it there." Said the owner of the ship.

"Then did you find it?" Shoufu asked hastily.

"You can't tell this, you can only tell the Queen Mother." The captain said mysteriously.

That night, a group of assassins broke into the middle of the moored fleet.

However, as soon as they entered, they were surrounded by many guards pouring out of the cabin. The front row was wearing leather armor and holding spears, while the back row was shirtless and holding heavy crossbows.

"The queen mother has long expected that someone will pick peaches, kill me!" A handsome guard in a red official robe pointed at the assassin with a knife.

Arrows rained down, and the assassins rushed to the streets one after another.

However, there was still an assassin who was shrewd enough to secretly board the ship from another place while the brigade was being strangled. In a certain bilge, he got a bamboo tube of spring water by chance, and then escaped under the sea holding his breath.

…………

Somewhere in the secret room of the manor.

A group of aging veterans were looking at the blue spring water, under the bright butter candles, looking at each other in blank dismay.

"Who dares to drink?"

"Find someone to try?"

"No, the portion is too small, and one person will lose one drink. If it works after you try it, it's not just cheap, a pariah. Who wants to be the one who can't drink it?"

"Forget it, let me do it, Doctor Zhao said that I can live for three months, I will die early and be reborn sooner." A fat and decadent man who was too old to move said with difficulty.

Everyone thought about it, poured out a mouthful, and handed it to the other party's white beard.

The old man drank it with difficulty, then his eyes turned white, he fell down and died on the spot.

"It really is fake!"

"This water is poisonous!"

"Hedinghong is not that powerful!"

Everyone was shocked.

Fortunately, they were not deceived by the longevity medicine, otherwise, wouldn't they have died in vain?

"How to deal with this water? Did it fall?"

Someone immediately wanted to drop the bamboo tube, but someone stopped him.

"Keep it, this highly toxic and instant-onset medicine is also a rare treasure." Someone said with burning eyes.

Three days later, a strange news came that a baby boy was born in a nearby rich family.

When he was ecstatic, the little baby suddenly spoke, saying that he was Wang Chui, a senior member of the third rank of the imperial court who had already retired.

And he also clearly stated where his home is, who his wife is, who his son is, and how much fertile land the family has...

The big family thought they encountered a monster and were asking Taoist priests to suppress it.

After the group of veterans heard about it, they looked at each other again.

They sent the dead again to steal the baby away. After some conversation, they were ecstatic!

"So that's what happened! After eating it, you can stop drinking Mengpo soup when you reincarnate!"

"Sure enough, the gods really exist, but the saints are unwilling to say it, for fear that everyone will only hope for the afterlife and forget this life."

"Great, I'll take a second sip!"

Many veterans took turns drinking the blue water without hesitation... They all fell down and died, all with smiles on their faces before they died.

The death of everyone outside became a big unsolved case in the local area, which frightened and paralyzed many policemen... Until many years later, no one could solve it, and finally it was solved by a young man named Gongsun, that is a later story.

After that, many child prodigies appeared in the nearby land.

They can write stereotyped essays at the age of three, they can take the examination of scholars at the age of six, and they can take the examination of Juren at the age of ten.

I failed the Juren examination because the examiner felt that it was so young, so wait a little longer and give the opportunity to the old people first.
