Chapter 33 Alchemy
Early the next morning, the original prince went to the funeral.
The funeral was supposed to be hosted by the king himself, but the host was Dong Huazi. At the grand ceremony, Li Qinglin and Li Qingjun's brother and sister stood silently aside. Li Qingjun cried until his eyes were swollen, and Li Qinglin was expressionless.
His mind had already drifted to the palace, where his father was summoning Qin Yi.
The father's health has been deteriorating in the past two years. Yesterday's banquet was very hard for him, and he was unable to participate in the ceremony this morning and was recuperating in the palace. However, Father Wang himself does not feel that his body has deteriorated, but often thinks that his spirit is better...
Li Qinglin sighed softly. Turning his head to look at his sister who was crying so much, he also felt a little conflicted.
On the one hand, I hope that my sister can always be so romantic, and on the other hand, I hope that she can become mature and sensible... She doesn't understand anything, and she is so stupid that it makes people irritated, but if she really understands, maybe it will be the beginning of sibling rivalry.
Speaking of which, he was a little envious of Qin Yi, being indifferent and seeking nothing, which would save him a lot of troubles.
Over there, Qin Yi was led to the bedroom by the palace servants, and felt extremely uncomfortable along the way.
Mr. Mian obviously couldn't bring the mace with him when he went to the bedroom, so he left tassels in his guest courtyard when he went out, and hid them carefully in the heart of the wooden sword array. After I thought I hid the tassels properly, I felt uncomfortable when I went out, and something was missing.
It's like forgetting to bring your mobile phone when you go out before crossing... It's even more serious. My heart feels half empty, and my hands are so itchy that I almost want to carry the eunuch next to me in my hand.
This is the first time since time travel, leaving tassels.
Fortunately, the knowledge of Taoism has been supplemented a lot recently, and it will not be easy to show timidity. Divination is just a bit of common sense and nonsense, and it is similar to Dong Huazi anyway. Alchemy and pharmacy can be regarded as a profession. Looking at Donghuazi's broken alchemy, Qin Yi feels that he can completely crush him in this respect. Generally speaking, Mian Jun has a certain amount of confidence this time, so he won't become a useless person without tassels.
This was the scene Qin Yi had imagined when he came out of the mountain. (PS: I don't know what some people who think that Qin Yi came out of the mountain just because he overestimated his capabilities to fight Dong Huazi are thinking)
Arriving at the bedchamber, the scent of sandalwood wafted through the nostrils. When I walked in, I saw the king wearing a Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged on a futon, meditating, surrounded by sandalwood, and a maid was gently fanning the wind.
Qin Yi was powerless to complain, your eldest son is going to the funeral today, so it's fine if you can't afford it, but you are here to practice Taoism!
At the banquet yesterday, the king sat high on the throne, a little far away, and his attention was mainly on Dong Huazi and Mang Zhan, and he didn't pay much attention to the king's appearance. Looking at it closely now, the king has very handsome facial features, no wonder the sons and daughters he gave birth to are handsome and pretty. He was no more than forty or fifty years old, with black hair and a rosy face. He really looked like he was good at keeping in good health. No wonder he believed in Dong Huazi.
But Qin Yi could tell that his rosiness was not normal.
This Wude King also went to the battlefield when he was young, and he is also a martial artist. A successful martial artist should be at the peak age when he is 40 or 50 years old. Unless he is born with a red face or has special skills, it is normal for his complexion to be normal. .
Can you imagine Li Qinglin's red face when he was forty or fifty?
His ruddy color is due to erysipelas, which is already affecting his health. and……
The rich sandalwood seemed to cover up the faint stench emanating from his body.
"Your Majesty, Qin Yi is here." The eunuch whispered.
The king opened his eyes, feeling cloudy for a moment, and slowly became clear.
"Five declines of heaven and man", such a term popped up in Qin Yi's mind. He felt a slight shock in his heart. He wondered if his knowledge of pharmacology was too poor. In short, if he judged by his own level alone, it seemed that the king would not live long...
"Fellow Daoist Qin." The king's tone was very kind, "Fellow Daoist is young, so I don't know where he came from?"
Qin Yi had been prepared for a long time, so he said: "My teacher, Master Liusu, travels all over the world, and I don't know where he is."
The king thought about it for a while: "I have never heard of it...but there are so many people with the right way in the world, and it is indeed beyond the reach of few people."
Qin Yi thought to himself that you are so ignorant, it's not just that you don't know everything? Of course he wouldn't say it out loud, he just saluted.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, please sit down." The king pointed to the futon opposite.
Qin Yi sat cross-legged leisurely, with his clothes raised lightly, his palms facing the sky in front of his knees, his posture was standard, he didn't look like a cultivator, but he had a sense of elegance. The king stared at it for a while, then nodded slightly: "Sitting with double shackles, with five hearts facing the sky, it is very standard, and it is indeed inherited."
"..." Qin Yi was almost speechless. What did Dong Huazi teach you? Such a basic thing should be used as a judgment indicator?
The king said again: "Which school do you major in, fellow Taoist? The art of divination?"
"Divination is just for fun." Qin Yi said: "I major in the Way of Waidan, which can help people eliminate illness and cowardice, and prolong life."
The king's eyes lit up slightly, and he said again: "It is similar to what the national teacher learned. Daoists may wish to ask the national teacher for more advice, or it may be beneficial."
This put Qin Yi in the position of Donghuazi's student, which shows how high Donghuazi's status is in his heart. Qin Yi said lightly: "It's all right to communicate with fellow Taoists."
The king then said: "Nine revolutions of the national teacher's pill can lead to longevity, but fellow daoists can only prolong life and be timid. Fellow daoists are young and vigorous. Although they have inheritance, they still need to be open-minded to the dao."
"To talk about prolonging life and being timid is to be modest. The road is hard, and you need to search for a lifetime to ask yourself how to live forever, but you talk hotly and help others live longer? Talking too full is not being open-minded."
The king was stunned for a moment, and said: "The national teacher has not said enough, and the real nine-turn longevity method is also being explored. But the usual pill, I feel refreshed and wise, and it has practical effects."
Qin Yi almost wanted to say that those pills are useless, but remembering Li Qinglin's reminder, he suppressed it and said, "I will ask the teacher for help sometime."
The king nodded, and suddenly said: "Since fellow Taoist is a person who asks questions and cultivates purely, with Zhaoyang..."
Qin Yi directly bowed down: "The two love each other, and I am willing to be a Taoist couple."
The king seemed not expecting this guy to be so direct, and was choked back by his words. He looked at him strangely for a while, and then slowly said: "Fellow Taoists are not well-connected, so why ask? I have a question... ..."
Qin Yi interrupted directly: "I don't know the alchemy of the national teacher, but did you mention such a sentence?"
The king was not unhappy when he was interrupted, he still said kindly: "Fellow Taoist, please speak."
"The first union of lead and mercury, the first marriage of a dragon and a tiger, the intersection of the sun and the moon, and the interaction of yin and yang, so the elixir produces chaos. I don't know the root of the dragon and the tiger, the transformation of yin and yang, and throwing gold and stones indiscriminately, imitating returning the elixir, is like asking for a chicken and a rabbit in water. , Climbing Suoyulong, wrong!"
The king was stunned for a while, and fell into deep thought.
Qin Yi felt refreshed.
It's no use begging others not to marry off their daughters, it's useless to mourn and act like a child. It's really pretending to be forced by his most important alchemy!
