Chapter 10 True and False Immortality Medicine

Hou Jing was nervous, but was very happy on the surface. He followed Zhao Gao through many checkpoints and finally entered the palace to meet the First Emperor with his jade box.

In the magnificent palace, the emperor was wearing a black dragon robe, decorated with crimson red, with gilded sleeves, and a crown hanging down twelve tassels. His appearance was blurred, and a sense of majesty and heavy came to his face.

"Your Majesty." Zhao Gao and his party bent down under the steps, bowed deeply, and said respectfully.

"Zhao Che's Mansion Order, but the immortal medicine has been refined." The emperor in the palace spoke reservedly, and his voice seemed to be uploaded from the nine heavens.

"I have fulfilled my mission and I have refined the immortal medicine for Your Majesty." Zhao Gao replied happily, bent down and bowed, and held the jade box with both hands.

Ying Zheng was uneasy, waved his long sleeves and said hurriedly: "Put it up."

Hearing this, the eunuch who served on the side immediately walked to the steps, carefully took the jade box with both hands, and then quickly returned to the hall. He asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you need to test the medicine."

The emperor hesitated. When he was about to wave his hand to let his servants try medicine, Hou Jing on the steps could no longer sit still. He gritted his teeth and took a risk to take a step. He bowed deeply and said, "I beg your Majesty to take the immortal medicine immediately, otherwise the essence will be absorbed by people close to you as soon as the jade box is opened. If you practice another one, you won't know what year or month it will take."

When the First Emperor frowned and spoke, Zhao Gao of His Highness suddenly shouted loudly and said with anger: "Bold, if something happens to Your Majesty, will you be responsible?"

"I'll take responsibility!" Hou Jing raised his head and said righteously. His confident look seemed to be impossible to fail.

Don’t say it, Ying Zheng really admires confident talents. He looked at Hou Jing with deep meaning, waved his sleeves and said, “Okay, I also need some sincerity to seek immortality, and maybe I can bless the Emperor and Queen.”

"Give me my immortal medicine." Ying Zheng said to the eunuch on the side. The jade box was brought up. After he opened it, he saw a round red pill lying quietly in the groove. The size of a little finger, the surface was smooth and crystal clear, and it looked extraordinary. At least two thousand years ago, the technology that could make pills was indeed possible.

Unexpectedly, the emperor said in confusion: "Since it is an immortal pill, why don't you smell the strange fragrance?"

"Your Majesty, this is a elixir technique passed down by my family. I attach a layer of elixir clothes to the outside, lock the essence, and return to nature, and the magical objects are natural." Hou Jing explained respectfully.

The ancients who had not yet been baptized by the Internet literature were particularly convinced by Hou Fangshi's "novel settings" and the emperor decisively swallowed the bright red pill.

If Wu Ming was here, he could only sigh at the talent. The Records of the Grand Historian recorded the tricks of Hou and Fang. After the failure of the Immortal Medicine, they immediately came up with another set of settings, saying, "Your Majesty is the emperor, and he has the energy of dragon and tiger, and he will not invade all laws. Those real people and immortals will seek benefits and avoid harm. So please ask Your Majesty to take the white dragon fish and go out secretly. If you don't tell others, you may be able to find the Immortal Medicine."

Until Hou and Fang fled, the First Emperor still believed it without doubt. Of course, the deeper love was, the more urgent hatred it was. The alchemists who stayed in Xianyang eventually became a string of cold numbers in history books.

"But this time, on behalf of the priest, I will stab you in the back first." Wu Ming, who was sitting on the stone in the forest, whispered. He stared at the 'sundial' in front of him. This object was the teacher's lifelong effort and time calculation was accurate.

"If you think it's good, Zhao Gao and the others will soon offer the immortal medicine." Wu Ming murmured to himself with the bamboo slips in his hand.

He suddenly stood up, messed up his clothes, stretched out his hand to pull the jade crown on his head, and became crooked, with a few strands of ink hair hanging down, and then the boy walked quickly with wandering.

After a moment, Wu Ming turned back and came to the bronze tripod, gritted his teeth and grabbed some material ashes from the burning of five energy and applied them to his skin, then kicked his feet and flew out of the boots. Then Wu Ming ran out of the forest in panic.

The boy ran away and shouted, "It's not good, it's not good, it's wrong to refine the immortal medicine. It's a fake pill, and it will kill people if you take it."

At this time, the alchemists who were watching the ceremony in the forest dispersed early and prepared to go back and brag about their awesomeness with their colleagues. However, they looked back in shock when they heard the sound.

"Witch Lord is confused?" someone asked in surprise, walking into the chaotic boy.

Wu Ming was reluctant to make things worse, so he stretched out his hand and said hurriedly: "The immortal medicine has gone wrong, immortality has become a poisonous thing, and you must not let His Majesty take it."

When the man saw Wu Ming's arms stained with black ashes turned red and even showed signs of ulcers, he immediately retreated in horror and said, "Don't come over."

Seeing this, the alchemist who had originally wanted to surround melons and the Qin soldiers who stopped them all retreated one after another. Wu Ming seemed to be reborn, and wherever he ran, the crowds there scattered.

Wu Ming even had an idea and shouted: "Go and invite all the top priests to go to the alchemy to get the residue of immortal medicine to verify. There are also warriors who have sent people to surround the forest. You must not order your Majesty and you must not let anyone get close."

After the words came, everyone woke up from their dreams and quickly took action. Some smart people even thought to themselves with chills: "If His Majesty has something wrong with him, we will not be spared."

Wu Ming, who was running all the way, shouted at the right time: "It's all Hou Lu and the others. The method of refining immortal medicine is correct, but the last step is wrong to take the pill, and the good pill becomes extremely poisonous."

Everyone who was reminded lit up his eyes. Yes, the last one to deal with the immortal medicine was Hou Lu and the other two, just push the pot on them.

Seeing that everyone was willing to look, Wu Ming nodded and did not run from the Alchemist Palace, but ran straight into the Qinhuang Palace.

He was panting and shouting, "It's a big deal. The sinner Hou Jing made a mistake in taking the pill. The immortal medicine turned into a highly toxic substance."

There were checkpoints to the palace, but the Qin soldiers did not dare to stop them. Looking at the boy's disheveled clothes, he saw his arms stained with black and gray and red, glaring at the heroes, and avoiding them.

In this way, Wu Ming's journey was unobstructed, and he didn't blink at all from the Hall of the Alchemist Palace to the "Zhangtai Palace".

It was not until the front of the palace that he was loyal to the guards, and knelt on the ground with swords and halberds. Wu Ming was not guilty and glared and shouted: "Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty. The Immortal Medicine is wrong. If something happens to the emperor, I will ask you."

Although the warriors were unwilling to let any danger escape from their mastery, they did not dare to stop them, so they hurriedly sent a guard in to ask for the First Emperor.

In the hall, Ying Zheng had just taken the elixir of immortality not long after, and called a clinic to serve him at any time, so as not to have any sudden symptoms.

Before the nervous Hou Jing could come up with a fooling voice, a noisy sound came from outside the hall. Ying Zheng looked up unhappily and asked, "Who is the noise outside the hall? Are you afraid of my punishment if you violate etiquette?"

The warrior came in at the right time and knelt down and said, "Report to your Majesty, it is a alchemist, and it is false to say that the immortal medicine is false."

After the words came, the atmosphere in the hall dropped to freezing point. Hou and Lu trembled all over, Ying Zheng was silent, and his heart was thrust.

Hou Jing reacted quickly and stood up and scolded: "Where is the alchemist who is lying, Your Majesty..."

"Enough!" The emperor suddenly shouted: "Hou Jing, Lu Feng, you two, shut up and call the alchemist outside the hall in."

The two of them were frightened and did not dare to say anything again. They were furious in their hearts, "Who is it?! Who is it that betrayed the unspoken rules between alchemists?"

Wu Ming outside was summoned, and he quickly sorted out his appearance to avoid being rude. However, he lost a boot and his jade crown was twisting and falling off. It was not ready for a while. The action of holding the crown made the handsome young man a little "cute".

The warrior on the side wanted to laugh: "It's too late for the alchemist, your Majesty is waiting inside."

"I'll go in immediately." Wu Ming replied quickly, his expression still calmly, without any embarrassment. He quickly walked into the magnificent palace. Before he could wait to see Qin Shihuang, he bowed deeply and said, "Wu Ming, a despised person, has seen Your Majesty."

When Ying Zheng saw the unrighteous boy below, he thought, "Is Ji Taishi's disciple?" On the surface, he looked furious and shouted: "What should you blame for being rude in front of the palace!"

Normal people have long crawled on the ground with fear and fear in the face of the harsh criticism of life and death. Wu Ming felt a little pressure, but then he thought that it would be okay if this body was killed, and he was afraid of hair! He became more and more calm.

"I despise the people for your Majesty's safety, and I will be rude. Please punish me after explanation." He bowed his hand calmly and asked him to take the initiative and said, "Where is the immortal medicine?"

Upon hearing this, the First Emperor examined His Highness's young man. Wu Ming, who was still calm even though his appearance was not tidy, could not help but nod. His demeanor could not be concealed by his clothes. He said lightly: "I took it."

Wu Ming suddenly felt certain in his heart, but on the surface he looked at Hou angrily. Lu and the other two said, "According to my words, these two should be killed!"

Hou and Lu, who were standing beside each other, had a bloodshot head and were furious. The most hateful thing compared to the enemy was the traitor, who wished he could draw his sword and stab the young man in front of him to death.

Seeing this, the emperor was silent. Not to mention that he was really panicked. When he took the "Yinhong Pill", the surface was slightly sweet, but after swallowing it, he felt uncomfortable in his stomach. It seemed that the weight of a piece of thing was highlighted. At first, he thought it was a necessary phenomenon, but after hearing Wu Ming's statement, he felt something was getting worse and worse.

Fortunately, when he was inconvenient to speak, his slave Zhao Gao stood up at the right time and said, "Wu Fangshi, why did you say that? He despised his colleagues."

"I'm just saying that the immortal medicine cauldron will be successful if it is opened. It doesn't take long to carve it. Their alchemy techniques were passed down in one go. This not only destroyed the blood of our alchemists, but also allowed the elixirs that turned into poisonous substances to be taken to His Majesty." Wu Mingyi said righteously.

Zhao Gao was a little helpless and had to stand up and say, "What evidence do you have?"

The boy raised his red arms stained with black and gray and said with his head raised: "This is the evidence. The residuals of the immortal medicine in the alchemy tripod will damage it only when it comes into contact with the skin. If it is swallowed into the stomach, wouldn't it be piercing the intestines and tummy?"

He bowed and said, "If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to the alchemist to get food and test it. Ordinary people swallow these immortal medicines into their abdomen. In a few days, symptoms such as stomachache, coughing up blood, skin ulcers will occur. If they are not treated in time, they may even die."

The emperor was silent and waved his hand, "Precaution the three of them and send someone to verify the matter."

After saying that, Ying Zheng hurriedly left. A medical officer behind him followed him and couldn't wait to go back for treatment, and by the way he was waiting for the effect of the medicine to evaporate. He no longer knew who he should believe.

The warriors came forward as they said and took the three of them down. No one resisted. Only Hou Jing gritted his teeth and glared at Wu Ming beside him and said, "The priest is not enough to make a decision!"
