Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 842 Huimeng Dan

The Tianshi Mansion is inherited according to blood, which means that although the Tianshi is a monk, they still marry wives and have children, and even take concubines. brother.

  The name of the fifth is Zhang Daozheng. As Zhang Tianshi said, studying medicine is more important than studying Taoism. According to his occupation, he is actually a doctor and a part-time Taoist priest, not a Taoist priest who has studied medicine.

   Zhang Daozheng is ten years younger than Zhang Daoyuan, but he is in his 60s or 70s. He looks well maintained, and most of his hair is still black.

   After meeting Li Xin, Zhang Daozheng lowered his head slightly and cupped his hands: "Zhang Daozheng has met Li Taibao."

   When Zhang Tianshi came to see Li Xin, Li Xin was seated anyway, but when facing Zhang Daozheng, he was no longer polite and gave a cold look at the doctor from Tianshifu.

   "I heard that Zhang Daochang has been in the capital since the seventh year of Taikang, and stayed in the capital for two or three years. He didn't leave the capital until the end of last year."

  Zhang Daozheng slowly lowered his head: "Pin Dao did live in the capital for a few years and was responsible for serving the late emperor."

   Li Xin's face was indifferent.

"The recipes you have opened in the past two or three years, Ben Hou has already sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to check them out. If you find any recipes containing bad people, you, as well as your Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, will take it as a result. Suffered the catastrophe!"

   Zhang Daozheng looked up at Li Xin and sighed helplessly.

   "Master Li, everything is destiny, why do you have to force it?"

   Li Xin was expressionless.

   "I don't believe in fate, how can fate dictate that a person can only live to be thirty-three years old?"

   Zhang Daozheng glanced at Li Xin again.

"Since there was an emperor, the emperor's lifespan has not been too long. Once the Northern Zhou Dynasty entered the customs for more than 100 years, there were eight emperors in total, most of them died in their thirties, and the youngest was only twenty-one years old. ."

The emperor is indeed a career that does not have a long life. On the one hand, it is because this position is exhausting and intriguing with countless people. On the other hand, it is because this position is watched by an unknown number of people, and it may be accidentally killed. died.

   But there must be something strange about the death of Emperor Taikang. Even if it wasn't done by Longhushan, at least they had some of the reasons!

Zhang Daozheng stood in front of Li Xin, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, bowed his head and said, "Master Hou, poor Dao has practiced medicine for decades, and I dare not speak of life and death, but I have saved a lot of people, and won't do harm to others. It’s not like killing people, the recipes created by the poor, the Taiyuan Hospital has archives, you just go to check.”

   said, he bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"All the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital have seen the late emperor, and no one has said a word to the poor Taoist prescription. The death of the late emperor caused the whole country to be mourned together, and the poor Taoist was also deeply saddened, but the Marquis cannot rely on himself. If you are suspicious, put this matter on the head of my Tianshi Mansion."

   His voice was hoarse.

"It is true that Lord Hou is a first-class Taibao in the dynasty, and he holds great power. I, the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, are only outsiders. In front of Lord Hou, I can only serve fish and meat on a chopping board, but Lord Hou is a knife. Talk about justice."

   Li Xin frowned deeply.

He took a few deep breaths, and after pondering for a while, he frowned and said: "Zhang Daoist, the imperial court sent Yu Linwei to invite your family this time. If you confess, the Tianshi Mansion may be able to escape, if you have the heart to hide it. , isn't it as simple as you are?"

   Zhang Daozheng was silent.

   He nodded deeply to Li Xin: "Master Hou just let him go and check."

   Having said that, Li Xin had nothing to do. He couldn't say nothing and kill all the people in the Tianshi Mansion, so he waved his hand.

   "Since that's the case, the Taoist priest might as well go back and wait, and this marquis will naturally check."

  Zhang Daozheng nodded, walked away from the pavilion, and walked to the courtyard where the Jingan Houfu was in charge of imprisoning the Tianshifu.

   As soon as he walked into the courtyard, the contemporary Celestial Master Zhang Daoyuan immediately pulled his sleeve with a solemn expression.

   "How's it going?"

  Zhang Daozheng glanced at his brother, his face a little unsightly.

   He said solemnly: "Brother, take a step to speak."

   Tianshi Zhang nodded and brought his brother into the room.

   This time, a total of more than 50 people were brought to Longhu Mountain, and they were locked in several small yards. Zhang Daoyuan lived in this courtyard with a total of six people, and it was not particularly crowded.

   After the two brothers entered the room, Zhang Daozheng sat down on the ground a little lost, and said, "Brother, it is estimated that things can't be hidden..."

At the beginning, when the late emperor first ascended the throne, he asked Zhang Daoyuan to enter the capital for divination. He should have said something good anyway, but Zhang Tianshi is also proficient in medical skills, and it can be seen that Emperor Taikang is not very good, not like a sign of longevity, so he is bold. Under the prophecy of only ten years.

Later, the emperor's body really had a problem, so he sent someone to Longhu Mountain to ask Zhang Daozheng to come to Beijing to help with diagnosis and treatment. Zhang Daozheng is a doctor. No problem, but...

   But this Daoist Zhang, not only gave the emperor a prescription, but also gave the emperor... pills!

In fact, Zhang Daozheng could not be completely blamed for this, because the emperor used ordinary recipes to no avail, and he would still suffer from insomnia every night. At that time, he already believed in the theory of "Qi Luck" in Longhu Mountain, so he asked Zhang Daozheng to give him some "Elixir" is used to condition the body and boost Qi.

   Coincidentally, Longhu Mountain has been refining alchemy for thousands of years, and there is indeed an elixir called Huimeng Dan that can help sleep. Zhang Daozheng bit his head and offered this elixir.

   At the beginning, it worked very well.

   The emperor, who couldn't sleep for several days, immediately fell asleep after taking the medicine pill.

   So, this medicine has become a permanent medicine in Weiyang Palace. When the emperor can't sleep, he can take one pill and he can sleep well for a day.

  Because of this reason, the emperor once again rewarded Longhu Mountain once and sent a lot of incense money to Longhu Mountain.

   But it's three-part poisonous medicine, not to mention the "elixirs" that these Taoists smelted with metals such as lead and mercury?

   Over the years, the emperor not only damaged his body, but also developed drug resistance. In the end, this medicinal pill was useless.

  Fortunately this time, Mengdan was not archived in the Taiyuan Hospital, and Li Xin could not find it when he went to the Taiyuan Hospital to check.

  The white-haired Zhang Tianshi looked serious.

   "The fact that you entered the elixir into the emperor... Who else knows?"

   Zhang Daozheng was silent for a while, his voice hoarse.

   "Eunuch Xiao, the inner guard, knows it. Every time he serves the emperor and enters the pill."

   "This Li Houye went to the imperial hospital to check, but he couldn't find anything, but as long as he went to ask Eunuch Xiao, things could not be hidden."

   Zhang Daozheng took a deep breath.

   "At that time, he will definitely put the cause of the emperor's death on this Mengdan."

   "At that time, the thousand-year-old Taoism of my Tianshi Mansion will probably be destroyed by this person..."

   Zhang Tianshi, who had a childlike face, let out a breath.

   "This Lord Li, who has learned the kung fu of our Longhu Mountain, should have been passed on to him by my disciple with the surname of Longhu Mountain. He has a relationship with our family..."

"It's useless."

   Zhang Daozheng's face was a little pale.

   "A person like him can't possibly care about the inheritance of teachers and sects that people in the world care about."

   He looked up at his brother, then took out an elixir from his sleeve and squeezed it in his palm.

  This pill is black and looks very ugly.

   "Brother, I'm afraid I won't survive."

Zhang Daozheng closed his eyes, lowered his head and said, "Fortunately, the Huimeng Pill is not poisonous. Even if Li Changan traces the Huimeng Pill, I am dead, and there is no evidence of death. Although the Tianshi Mansion may be affected, we can protect Longhu Mountain. Taoism, but there is no problem."

   Zhang Tianshi looked at his brother and frowned.

   "Why is this, we can still think of a way..."

   "That's it."

  Zhang Daozheng closed his eyes, opened his mouth and swallowed the pill in his palm.

   This medicinal pill is called "Yuhua Dan". According to Longhushan, it is used to transform into an immortal.
