Chapter 796

It's human nature to live, old and die.

Death is something everyone can't avoid.

But since ancient times, there are still many people who do not want to face death, especially the feudal emperors in ancient times. They are the son of heaven, the supreme, enjoying the taste of great power, so they are more afraid of death than ordinary people.

As a result, many emperors pursued the art of immortality in an attempt to live forever.

Among the emperors who pursued immortality, the most famous one was Qin Shihuang.

After the reign of Ying Zheng, the emperor of Qin, he felt that since he was the son of destiny, he must not be born in the flesh. If he was the incarnation of a real dragon, he would be able to find immortality as long as he sincerely looked for it.

So Ying Zheng ordered Xu Fu, the alchemist of the Qin emperor, to lead 3000 young boys and girls to Penglai Fairy Island in a specially made ship to search for the legendary immortals and elixirs.

As a result, Xu Fu never came back. Ying Zheng didn't wait for his elixir until the moment of his death.

Although Qin Shihuang's search for immortality has failed in the end, his behavior has created a precedent for the emperor to search for immortality. Later emperors have more or less searched for immortality during their reign, but no one has been successful for thousands of years.

Many emperors even mistakenly believed in the alchemists and took the so-called elixir, leading to poisoning and death. Instead of long life, they died suddenly and became a joke.

But not all the emperors who died suddenly in Fudan were laughing. There was an emperor who died because of Fudan, but the little-known secret history made his later emperors have a firm belief in the immortal pill, because that emperor was infinitely close to the immortal pill.

He is the famous emperor Wu of Han Dynasty in Chinese history.

……

The real name of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty is Liu Che. He is the seventh emperor of Han Dynasty and the most powerful emperor in the history of Han Dynasty.

Liu Che was a brilliant and strategic man. He ascended the throne at the age of 16. During his reign, he made a lot of reform and pioneering works. He was a king of the Ming Dynasty, but he also made some absurd moves.

Liu Che pursued the art of immortality all his life. He wanted to live forever and become emperor forever. Not long after he ascended the throne, Liu Che issued an imperial edict to recruit the world's alchemists and enter the palace to refine the elixir of immortality for him.

But this kind of elixir only exists in the legend, how can the world refine it.

Most of the alchemists who led the imperial edict to the palace were those who were greedy for fame and fame. They had the right to play tricks and confuse the emperor. In order to make the pills glitter and look more like elixirs, they did not hesitate to use cauldrons to burn gold and stone, and even added mercury, mercury, lead and other heavy metals in the process of alchemy.

But I don't know that these heavy metals contain trace toxins, and a small amount of them will not die. However, taking Jindan for many years will cause the accumulation of toxins in the body, which is equivalent to chronic poison.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, did not know that after years of taking the golden elixir presented by the alchemist, he even ate it as a meal. Finally, after the accumulation of erysipelas to a certain extent, it broke out completely and tortured Liu Che to death.

At this time, Liu Che knew that he had been cheated by the alchemist.

Chop! Cut it all!

Liu Che's Long Yan was so angry that he ordered Fang Shitong in the palace to be beheaded and killed nine families.

But this spirit is still hard to get rid of. Liu Che orders to arrest folk alchemists, and some famous alchemy families are also affected. All of them are arrested in the heaven prison, waiting to be beheaded.

For a time, the folk talk about Dan turned pale, and some doctors were even afraid of being treated as alchemists and hiding.

There is no place for people to get sick, there are countless deaths and injuries, and there are many dead people everywhere.

At this time, a famous woman stood up in danger.

Holding a jasper bottle, she claims to have a life extending pill that can make people immortal. She enters the Imperial Palace by herself, with swords and axes at her side, and a white silk dress like a goddess. Step by step, she steps into the imperial palace.

When Liu Che, who is sitting in the palace of three thousand, saw the white dress woman, he was also surprised to sit up from the Dragon Cave.

Beauty, beauty without words, a woman in her twenties, green silk like waterfall, white clothes like snow, flawless skin, clear eyes like the moon, not stained with smoke.

"Who's coming?" Liu Che was stunned for a moment, until the eunuch reminded him.

"Little girl, Nangong Xiayan." The white skirt woman's voice is as clear as a jade plate. Liu Che's whole body feels comfortable when she hears it, and her old body suddenly reacts.

But the next moment, Liu Che frowned“ Nangong? Are you a member of the Nangong family famous for alchemy? "

"Exactly." Nangong Xiayan nodded.

"Nangong Xiayan, since you have escaped, why did you come back from the trap?" Liu Che now has a deep hatred for master Fang Shidan. Naturally, he has heard of the reputation of the Nangong family. In the list he ordered to copy the family, the Nangong family still ranked first. Unexpectedly, there are still fish caught in the net.

"Are you not afraid that I will send you to heaven?" Liu Che looks at the woman in front of the hall curiously.

"I'm afraid." Nangong Xiayan raises her eyebrows and looks at Liu Che sitting on the Dragon seat“ But I wanted to save my people's lives, so I had to come. "

"Ha ha..." Liu Che smiles“ Just a girl, why save people in my prison? Maybe I can show you a way to be my imperial concubine, and I will exempt you from the responsibility of Nangong family. "

"I can't do it!" Nangong summer smoke cold road.

"How dare you resist?" Liu Che claps dragon in anger.

"Qiang!..." All the guards in front of the hall draw their swords. The sharp points of the swords point to Xia Yan in the south palace. They just wait for the emperor's order to kill the woman in front of the hall.

However, Nangong Xiayan's next words make Longyan's angry Liu Che more furious.

"My Nangong family has studied Dan Dao from generation to generation, practicing medicine with Dan and saving people. However, due to the fact that the emperor mistakenly believes in the alchemist, there are so many people who practice medicine with Dan like my Nangong family in the world, who have become prisoners. The common people have no medicine and the people are suffering. The emperor is so arbitrary. Is he not afraid of retribution?"

"Retribution?" Liu Che looks up to the sky and laughs“ I am the son of heaven. If I am ordered by heaven, I will not be punished. It is you masters Fang Shidan who have the right to play tricks and confuse the son of heaven. I want to kill you all! "

Liu Che smiles first and then gets angry. Finally, he looks gloomy and threatens“ I'll give you one last chance to be my imperial concubine. I'll spare you not to die! "

The beauty of Nangong Xiayan is more beautiful than any concubines in liuche's back palace. He is moved.

"Kill me, who will give you eternal life?" Nangong Xiayan smiles coldly.

"What did you say?" Liu Che's eyebrows and eyes jump wildly. The temptation of the word "Changsheng" is too great.

"My Nangong Xiayan is the most outstanding alchemy genius of Nangong family. This pill is made from what I have learned all my life. It is called Xuming pill." Nangong Xiayan said, holding the Jasper bottle high, and a snow white pill was lying in the slightly transparent bottle.

"Although this elixir can't make people immortal, it can make people live for another 30 years. If the emperor let go of my people, I would like to enter the palace and refine elixir for you forever."
