Chapter 426: Pills? Poison?
[PS: There is no meaning that the black monk is still a Taoist, and the brain makes up the speculation that the party will retreat......]
The old Taoist priest's hair and beard were all white, if it weren't for the fact that his face was red at this time, and he looked at Li Yi angrily, he would also be a first-class image of a fairy in the eyes of everyone. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"He said it unintentionally, don't be angry...... a few Dao Masters" Seeing the displeased expressions on the faces of several Dao Leaders, Li Mingzhu hurriedly walked over and said.
Although Si Tianjian is also under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, the identity of these Taoist leaders is not only officials, especially the old Taoist in front of him, who has a very high reputation in the Daomen, and even his father treats him with courtesy on weekdays.
Hundreds of officials and magnates in Beijing are all eager for the elixir he refines in order to prolong their lives.
"Insult my Daomen for no reason, how can the poor Dao not be angry!" The old Taoist priest obviously hadn't lost his anger yet, so he pointed at Li Yi and asked, "Tell me, how is the old Dao's elixir useless!" ”
Since the appearance of Wushisan, drug abuse has become one of the hobbies of rich and powerful people in ancient times, in order to prolong life and become immortals, the number of alchemists began to grow explosively, mercury, gold, lead ......, what is the use of alchemy.
Drug abuse has become a trend, it's okay to ask a few friends to knock drugs, that's a graceful thing, the social atmosphere is like this, what else can Li Yi say?
If this is left in modern times, gathering crowds to suck du, one by one they will have to sit through the prison.
Obviously, Taoism has not yet changed from the outer Danshu to the inner Danshu, Li Yi did not popularize the idea of what is heavy metal poisoning with the old Taoist priest at all, and a group of people wanted to become immortals and wanted to go crazy, which was the same as telling the old monk Tanyin that his Buddha was useless.
Even Li Xuan, Li Mingzhu and even the old emperor believed that taking drugs was useful, and what he said made no sense at all.
"I'm sorry, I lost my words just now, dare to ask the chief, can the holy medicine be allowed to be seen in the next view?" Li Yi arched his hand to the old man and said.
"Hmph, remember in the future, don't be unobtrusive." Although Lao Dao was still a little annoyed in his heart, seeing that he was with Princess Yongle, he still didn't continue to make trouble, took out a brocade box from his sleeve, and opened it carefully.
Lao Dao was very cautious about this elixir, he took it himself, and didn't let Li Yi do it at all, his eyes stared at Li Yi, as if he would withdraw his hand at any time.
Li Yi's eyes looked at the pill in the box, this pill was the size of a quail egg, the appearance was dark red, it was actually reflective, and it was brilliant in the sun, it looked very strange, except for mercury sulfide, which is what else they called dansha, what else could have such an effect?
It seems that the alchemy methods of these Taoist priests are still very traditional, mercury is available, I am afraid that there is no less lead, gold powder, silver powder ......, I don't know if I haven't put other things yet, Li Yi looked at the old Taoist with white hair and beard, and thought to himself that he must never eat the pill he refined.
"I'll go back first." It didn't take long for Li Yi's gaze to retract from the pill, and without looking at the old way, he said a word to Li Xuan, turned around and walked outside the hall.
"Hey......"
Li Xuan stretched out his hand, and before he could speak, Li Yi had already walked out of the door.
He and Li Mingzhu glanced at each other, and chased after them a little helplessly.
I didn't expect Li Yi to have a conflict with these Dao elders, you know, in the face of these people, even if he and Mingzhu are inconvenient to say or do anything.
Li Yi walked in the direction of the palace gate alone, and his brain would only run out on a hot day when his brain was in water, anyway, the old emperor didn't have long to live, although eating those pills was also certain to die, but at least in the early days, he could still feel the feeling of being cheerful and his physical strength increased, otherwise it would not be possible for so many people in the world to believe it.
"Master Li?"
A slightly surprised voice suddenly came from behind him, Li Yi stopped, and saw a person running out of a small palace next to him.
"It turned out to be Imperial Doctor Liu." Li Yi arched his hand to him, and the person who came was Liu Jimin, the imperial physician he had met in Qing'an Mansion.
Imperial Physician Liu said with a smile: "It's really Lord Li, I haven't seen you for more than half a year since I said goodbye to Qing'an Mansion, I didn't expect to meet you in the palace today, the front is the Imperial Doctor's Office, do you want Lord Li to go in and sit down and have a cup of tea?" ”
It happened to be a little hot all the way, Li Yi thought about it, and then nodded and said, "Then thank you Doctor Liu." ”
"Lord Li is polite, please!" Imperial Physician Liu smiled and stretched out his hand.

"It's pretty cool." Li Yi sat on the chair, took a sip of tea, and said.
Speaking of which, Lord Li offered the "wound suture technique", the old man has not thanked him in person, Lord Li is kind-hearted, and everything he does is for the benefit of all the people, the old man on behalf of the people of the world, thank you Lord Li! Imperial Physician Liu sat opposite him, hugged his fists and said.
He had already heard this sentence from Imperial Physician Liu once last time, Li Yi waved his hand, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly asked, "Your Majesty's illness has always been the responsibility of Lord Liu, right?" ”
Imperial Physician Liu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded and said: "Your Majesty's illness, the old man and several colleagues have been trying to find a way, but there has been no progress, somehow, His Majesty's condition suddenly worsened a month ago, and even the old man was helpless, but fortunately, there are holy medicines from several Taoist masters of Si Tianjian that His Majesty's condition has not deteriorated further." ”
Li Yi sighed, and even said so in the imperial physician's order, which shows that this kind of thinking has been deeply ingrained for everyone.
Even if there are countless people who have died because of this thing, in order to strengthen that ethereal belief, they can always find a suitable reason, for example, the raw materials for alchemy have not been selected well, the heat of refining has not been mastered well, and even death can be said to be "soldiers into immortals", if the old emperor really becomes an immortal, I don't know if the heads of these imperial doctors and Taoist priests can be saved.
"Imperial Physician Liu really thinks that those pills are working?" Li Yi took a sip of tea again and said lightly.
Imperial Physician Liu glanced at him, the expression on his face gradually froze, he stood up from his seat, looked at Li Yi, and said carefully: "Please also ask Master Li to speak clearly......
Li Yi looked at him and asked, "Lord Liu, do you know what the elixir is made of?" ”
Imperial Physician Liu shook his head, he studied medical skills, not alchemy, his specialty was not right, how could he know what those pills were used to refine, not to mention, which of those alchemists didn't regard his own pills as more important than life, how could others know?
"Dansha, lead powder, maybe gold and silver powder or something...... Li Yi stood up, patted Imperial Doctor Liu's shoulder, and said, "Lord Liu, take care." ”
Every time Li Yi said a word, Imperial Physician Liu's face turned a little paler, and when he finished speaking, there was no blood on this Imperial Physician's face.
Thump.
After Li Yi's figure disappeared into the Imperial Doctor's Office, Imperial Physician Liu finally couldn't help but slump on the ground.
"Lord Liu, what's wrong with you!" The officials of the Imperial Physician's Department immediately rushed forward.
I don't know how long it took, Imperial Doctor Liu finally came back to his senses and said anxiously: "Quick, go and invite Master Li back!" ”
When everyone in the Imperial Doctor's Office was about to go crazy under the scorching sun, Li Yiyou was lying on the rocking chair, tasting chilled grape brewing, eating the fruit salad fed by the little maid, and only felt that every pore in his body was about to open up.
This is life, no more than running to the palace on a hot day to suffer a thousand times better......
Li Xuan came in from outside sweating, and after holding a piece of ice from the corner of the house, he didn't let go, sat opposite Li Yi, and asked while panting, "What happened to you just now, is there something wrong with that pill?" ”
Li Xuan didn't understand why Li Yi's attitude changed drastically as soon as he heard the pill just now, and under the doubt in his heart, he deliberately ran back to ask what happened.
"It's not a big problem." Li Yi shook his head and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't take those pills, it will be a few years at most, a ...... at the least, and only one or two years of life." ”
Li Xuan's expression darkened when he heard this, and then he thought that if he could prolong his life for a few years because of that pill, it would be a good ending, and asked, "What if you take the pill?" ”
Although heavy metal poisoning takes time to accumulate slowly, since those Taoist priests dare to take it out and dedicate it to the emperor, they must have already undergone experiments, and there should be no problems with that dose in a short period of time, but the old emperor's body is already very bad, Li Yi thought about it for a while, and gave Li Xuan a conservative number.
"Two months."
"What? Two months! ”
Li Xuan bounced up from the chair violently, and the ice cube in his arms fell to the ground and shattered.
