"Yes, it's the elixir of life. As a Chinese, I think you are no stranger to this." The middle-aged man replied.
Yin Tian nodded, he had naturally heard of such things.
The elixir of life is a kind of medicine in ancient Chinese myths and legends that can make people live forever. The oldest record is from "Han Feizi · Shuo Lin Shang": "If the guest offers the medicine of immortality, the minister eats the medicine and the king kills the minister. The medicine is the guest deceiving the king."
The elixir of life that all the emperors of China have been pursuing, after Qin Shihuang, the emperors and princes and nobles of all generations are obsessed with elixir.
However, according to ancient records, it seems that only Qin Shihuang really found the elixir of life, but his life was not good, and he died before the elixir of life was returned.
In 219 BC, Qin Shihuang used a boat to circle the Shandong Peninsula, where he stayed for three months. There he heard that there were three fairy mountains in the Bohai Bay called Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou. There are three immortals living on the three immortal mountains, with the elixir of life in their hands.
The person who told the magical story of Qin Shihuang was called Xu Fu. He was a local alchemist and heard that he had seen these three fairy mountains with his own eyes.
Qin Shihuang was very happy after hearing this, so he sent Xu Fu to lead thousands of boys and girls into the sea to find the elixir of life.
The vast fleet led by Xu Fu set off, but after drifting on the sea for a long time, he did not find what he called the fairy mountain, let alone the elixir of life. Qin Shihuang was a tyrant. Xu Fu didn't complete the task. After he returned, he would be decapitated according to Qin Shihuang's style. So he took these thousand boys and girls to the current island country.
Although Xu Fu never returned, Qin Shihuang did not die of his desire to seek immortality. Four years later, in 215 BC, Qin Shihuang found another Yanren named Lu Sheng, who specialized in cultivating immortals and Taoism. Alchemist, Qin Shihuang sent Lu Sheng into the sea to seek immortality this time is different from Xu Fu. Xu Fu was looking for the elixir of life, while this time Lu Sheng entered the sea to find two ancient immortals, one called "Gao Oath" and the other called "Xianmen." .
Later, according to legend, Lu Sheng really found two ancient immortals and used a kind of magic ore powder to help Qin Shihuang refine three elixir of life.
It's a pity that Qin Shihuang had a bad life and died before the elixir of life was delivered back.
Naturally, Yin Tian didn't believe in this kind of legend, and just regarded it as a kind of wild history.
"The elixir of life is just something in Chinese historical legends, don't you think it really exists?" Yin Tian frowned and asked.
The middle-aged man smiled mysteriously: "Why don't you believe it? Now that I have found someone who has lived from the Qin Dynasty to the present, he has also hired him personally!"
"This is impossible! Did you make a mistake, how can someone live so long?" Yin Tian couldn't believe it.
"It's not wrong, it was originally a secret, but so that you can do things for me wholeheartedly in the future, I'll tell you." The middle-aged man said: "The person caught is called Zhao Gao and belongs to China Qin Dynasty. Person, yes, I heard that this person is very famous in your Chinese history, right?"
Yin Tian nodded, he was naturally familiar with Zhao Gao, who was the famous prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, a famous traitor in history, and the creator of the idiom "referring to a deer as a horse".
Seeing Yin Tian nodding his head, the middle-aged man continued: "Zhao Gao was arrested in the city where you are. He is afraid that others will know that he is a person who will never die. He will change his life in a city every few years. Not all day long, but he was unlucky and was discovered not long ago. After interrogation, Zhao Gao revealed the secret of immortality..."
After listening to the middle-aged man, Yin Tian still seemed to be living in a hallucination.
I thought that the life-extending treasures extracted from the blood of purple blood coral and the devil were already very precious, but who would have thought that there are real elixir in the world.
According to Zhao Gao's account, a meteorite from outside the sky landed in the Tianxing Village of the Qin Dynasty, so it was named the Tianxing Meteorite.
The meteorite has a magical power. It is not affected by gravity and the earth’s magnetic field. It can be easily read in the air. Moreover, within a kilometer around the meteorite, there is a strange force field. Things in this range are also Are not affected by the gravity of the earth.
In addition, the meteorite is extremely strong and cannot be damaged.
At that time, the two immortals "swear high" and one was called "Xianmen." No, according to Zhao Gao's statement, they should be two ascetics. They struggled and thought of countless ways before they could barely take it down from the meteorite. A little powder, and after research, made three elixir.
Zhao Gao knew about this incident and brought three elixir of life to Qin Shihuang, but it was a pity that Qin Shihuang was already dead.
So Zhao Gao took an elixir. Before that, in order to verify that the elixir master was poisonous~EbookFREE.me~, Zhao Gao also forced a woman to take an elixir, which was originally North Korea. The country is dedicated to Princess Yushu of Qin Shihuang.
After taking the elixir, Zhao Gao did not want others to live forever, so he killed Princess Yushu and the two cultivators who made the elixir, and put the last elixir into the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. , From now on there is no elixir in the world.
As for the meteorite, it became the base of the numerous large formations of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. Under the buried hundreds of millions of tons of mercury, there is no possibility of seeing the sky again.
After knowing these secrets, it became obvious what the middle-aged man asked Yin Tian to do, that is, to enter the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and get the last elixir of life!
Even, if possible, take out the meteorite!
However, the middle-aged man only asked Yin Tian to assist them, and did not ask Yin Tian to take the elixir.
He is very smart, knowing that in the face of things like elixir, Yin Tian is likely to abandon women and children, and swallow the elixir!
After the middle-aged man gave Yin Tian time to digest the information, he said: "In the next half month, we will have a batch of professional instruments shipped to China. You have to help even some of the early projects, the imperial mausoleum. It is not easy to enter. Of course, you can also choose to refuse, but I hope you will not, because your woman and children are still in our hands. In addition, I also know that your parents live in Yinjia Village. If you do not I will visit them for what I should do. Okay, you can go back to China and wait for news."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, the strong image went out.
Giggle...
Yin Tian clenched his fists, and this middle-aged man dared to threaten him!
"Don't let me know who you are, otherwise, I will chop you into pieces to feed the dog!" Yin Tian said angrily.
