Chapter 157 Arrangement

If you guess correctly, this bizarre story was written by a woman named Qingru, and the origin of the story is Chen Lang in his mouth.

Moreover, the writing time was clearly recorded, just ten days ago.

Then this story may have only appeared recently.

And just now, Meng Fu also said Qingshui Zhenchen's words before his death.

Unfortunately, Meng Pui persisted until Xianyang was exhausted. Gentle might be the disciple who killed Meng Pui, but who was Chen Lang? Where is Qinghe Town? If it were in Nanyang, would it be in Funiu Mountain?

As the emperor of the ages, Qin Shihuang was not very talented. From enduring humiliation to the unification of the Qin Dynasty, which was not as good as the Chinese and unified, both mind and means were not accessible to ordinary people. Therefore, it was soon possible to infer from these simple information that Chen Lang might be the person he needed to find, or even the immortal disciples he met recently by Liezi's disciples.

"Come!" Qin Shihuang closed the booklet in his hand.

"Your Majesty, please give me instructions!" A black armored guard knelt down on one knee.

"Go and call Zhao Qing to see me!"

"Here!" Xuanjia Guard left the hall. In just a few minutes, a middle-aged scholar wearing a gray gown entered the hall. After bowing his hands, he bowed his hands respectfully without saying a word.

"Zhao Qing, go to Chi County, Nanyang County immediately, and look for a place called Qinghe Town in Funiu Mountain. Inquiry for a young man surnamed Chen. He is young, but may be very famous. Remember not to rush around recklessly and observe carefully. If you find any abnormalities, you must report them to me immediately!"

"I'll do it now!" The middle-aged scholar bowed and turned around and left. Although he seemed rude, Qin Shihuang did not make any statement.

The room returned to silence again, with deep palace forbidden areas, thick stone walls and thick tiles, and the light was not bright. The air in the room seemed to solidify, but Qin Shihuang was very accustomed to and familiar with this atmosphere.

He slowly sorted out several copies of the book copied by the Legend of the White Snake in neatly. Looking at the remaining few, he thought about it but couldn't help but pick up a book and open it.

"I first met Chen Lang, dressed in rags and rude, Rou felt disgusted and indifferent, but Chen Lang did not blame him, Rou was panicked..."

This was written by the woman named Qingru, as if a diary of a junior and high school girl in later generations was full of mood. She wrote the situation of seeing Chen Xu very thoroughly. She was both nervous and regretful, but there was a deep attachment between the lines. All of them were longing for love at first sight, and the little daughter's thoughts were clear at a glance.

Because of his mother, Zhao Ji, and his confusing life experience, Qin Shihuang disliked women since childhood. Therefore, even if he ascended the throne and became the First Emperor, he never established a descendant in the harem. After the death of the eldest son Fusu, the harem lord was always vacant. Even if he was abducted and filled the beauties of the six kingdoms in the harem, he went to favor him just for the successor of the Qin Dynasty. The relationship was not a question, but just a physiological and family inheritance.

But at the moment, this woman named Gentleman explained her heart to Chen Lang in detail in the book, and every word was touched, which actually touched a ripple in his heart. In an instant, Qin Da was a little missed by women.

"Chen Lang said: When falsehood is true, it is true, and sometimes Wuwei still has nothing. This sentence makes Roo toss and turn and unable to fall asleep..."

"Chen Lang said: People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon has phases and waxing, and this is difficult to be complete in ancient times. I thought softly for several nights..."

"Chen Lang said: In the West Kunlun Mountain, there is the Queen Mother of the West Yaochi Imperial Garden, with the jade grass and jade flowers everywhere. It is the holy land of the immortal family. The soft heart is longing for it, and I hope to go day and night..."

"Chen Lang said:..."

Qin Shihuang sat in front of the desk, looking at and pondering each page, line by line, word by word, sometimes blurred, sometimes shining, and sometimes happy and sometimes surprised.

These words and sentences are all about Shui Qingru's words and deeds when he spent several days with Chen Xu. Because of the deep love, they also recorded almost everything in detail. They also mentioned mosquito nets, toothbrushes, toothpaste, stone mills, noodles, etc. She recorded almost every bit of everything Chen Xu made.

"The yam, poria, honey cake made by Chen Lang has been received. It is delicious and Rou likes it very much. He just hopes to spend time with his husband as soon as possible, accompany Chen Lang, and talk to him in his heart. Rou thought about it very much, but he didn't know if Chen Lang knew it!"

The last sentence is obviously the last record, and the longing is even more important than before, and it undoubtedly reveals Shui Gentle's thoughts.

For Qin Shihuang, this record made him feel more clearly that this young man named Chen Lang was definitely not an ordinary mortal, because Qin Shihuang was the emperor because he had never heard of the things recorded between the lines, let alone seen them.

Qin Shihuang was very moved by the yam, Poria, honey cake mentioned in it, and then his eyes fell on the bamboo tube tied with twine in the package.

The bamboo tube is an old bamboo, with a diameter of four inches and two feet long, with joints at both ends, and about one-third of the straight cut, untied the hemp rope, removed the cover on it, revealing the snow-white round cake inside, and instantly a faint medicinal fragrance and sweet smell emanated.

Only half of the poria cake was left, and the other half had been eaten as a snack when water was writing, but she obviously cherished the gift and the delicious food she had never tasted before. Therefore, she cherished it very much. If this cookie was given to a foodie, it might be gone in ten minutes.

Looking at the half-cylindrical round cake and smelling the sweet fragrance of medicine, Qin Shihuang was about to reach out to take a piece to taste it, but hesitated for a moment and retracted his hand and said, "Call the Taiguan Ling and the Taigong Ling to come immediately!"

"Here~" A black armored guard at the door turned around and left.

Soon, a middle-aged man in his fifties and an elderly man with white hair and beard hurried over, and then bowed together after entering the room: "Your Majesty, I wonder what instructions do you have to call us urgently?"

"Come and see this kind of pancake. I want to eat it, okay?" Qin Shihuang said, pointing to the snow-white round pancake inside the bamboo tube.

"No!" the two of them exclaimed almost at the same time.

Taiguan Ling is the leader of the dietary department under the Shaofu, and is specifically responsible for the dietary production of the emperor and the inner palace. Anything that the emperor eats must undergo their strict inspection.

The Imperial Physician Order is responsible for the safety of the use of medicines for the emperor and the inner palace, and all medicines must also be strictly reviewed by them.

At present, this vulgar bamboo tube is a use for food among the people. Naturally, the things inside can be imagined. The origin is unclear. Once the emperor is poisoned or infected, neither of them can afford it.

However, seeing Qin Shihuang's expression still restless, the Imperial Doctor order quickly took a step forward, "Your Majesty, why not let the old minister try it first!"

"Accurate!" Qin Shihuang nodded.

The imperial physician Ling, who had white hair and beard, slowly walked to the front of the case and knelt down. He looked at the round cake in the bamboo tube for a long time. He carefully picked up a piece and sniffed it, then broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth.

"Yeah~" The old man was shocked, then he showed an extremely surprised expression on his face, and then... he broke off a large piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly and tasted it.

"There are yams... there are poriasis, um, and honey!" The old man turned to look at Taiguan Ling, "Sir Zuo, come and try it too!"

Taiguan Ling also quickly stepped forward and knelt down, picked up a piece and broke it off and put it in his mouth. After tasting it for a long time, he nodded slightly: "What the Taiguan Ling said is good. This cake is made of yam, poria and honey. It tastes very beautiful. It should be safe to eat it!"

While talking to the imperial physician Ling and the imperial officer Ling, they kept stuffing the pancakes into their mouths. Soon the two pancakes were eaten clean.

"Can I eat now?" Qin Shihuang asked calmly.

"Your Majesty waited for a while. Although there was no odor in the mouth of this cake, its origin was unknown. You should not eat it rashly!" said the Taiguan Ling licked his mouth.

"The things that Liezi disciples eat may be made by that immortal disciple. There is nothing unusual about you when you wait for food. Why should I wait for a long time?" Qin Shihuang said as he reached out and picked up a piece of Poria cake, broke off one piece and put it in his mouth. After tasting it, he suddenly looked loud and said, and there was endless surprise in his eyes. "This cake melts in his mouth, crispy and sweet, and has a faint smell of medicine. It is more addicted to the stomach than elixirs, and it is really a good thing."

The Imperial Physician Ling and the Imperial Official Ling were helpless with Qin Shihuang's great nerves. However, as veteran foodies, the two of them knew that the ingredients of this cake were safe and did not taste the odor. There should be no problem with safety, so they could only give up with a wry smile, stand up and step back to the side and watch Qin Shihuang eat happily.

In the eyes of later generations, Qin Shihuang should be a serious and majestic emperor, but in essence, he is still an ordinary person. His power over the world cannot reduce his demand for delicious food as an ordinary person. He also needs to consider that he has an extremely strong heart for immortality. Now, in addition to government affairs, his favorite thing is to study various immortal techniques. Now, a large group of medical priests in the palace are refining various elixirs for him, and he has to take some every day.

Today's traditional Chinese medicine theory is not mature, and the properties of various medicinal materials have not been systematically determined. The abilities of those medical sorcerers can naturally guess, and they are still in a semi-primitive state. Between doctors and witches, they are in the stage of jumping to the gods. In order to have enough persuasion, the theory of yin and yang and five elements is used in the elixir. Therefore, there are all kinds of ingredients in gold, wood, water, fire and earth in the elixir. Naturally, they dare not give Qin Shihuang a poisonous object. However, looking at the emperors who wanted to live forever in the past dynasties, taking medicine must see the effect. Therefore, when these sorcerers refining elixirs and making medicines, they will put some things that refresh the spirit or stimulate the excitement center, and they will immediately get the effect after taking one pill. After eating it, they feel very happy. They hugged the concubine for half a night and half a night tossed.

In later generations, several emperors were tortured to death by alchemy sorcerers in this way.

Moreover, the more the elixir is, the more terrifying it is. In order to make the elixir look good, they actually need to add lead, mercury, cinnabar and other substances. Therefore, the elixir becomes a poison pill. Eat it and eat it, so they die early.

Qin Shihuang was a little better and didn't like women very much because he had a shadow in his heart. In addition, the elixirs of this era were not so perverted, and the formula used did not contain too much toxic substances. The theory of lead and mercury popular among Taoists in later generations has not yet been formed.

Although I don’t know what lead and mercury mentioned in Taoist alchemy in later generations, some people later pointed out that the lead and mercury mentioned by the person who first proposed the lead and mercury was not actually two substances: lead and mercury, but their color represents the yin and yang of Tai Chi. Lead is black, represents yin and mercury is silver, representing yang, and yin and yang are combined. However, Taoist priests who practice alchemy have just gone astray.

There are even more mysterious netizens speculated that the Earth's race comes from alien immigrants. At first, they directly swallow and digest various natural elements. Therefore, there is a saying that ancient immortals have infinite power. They move mountains and seas, and take the moon day by day. They are highly intelligent creatures with semi-mechanical and semi-organized creatures. However, the ability to eat elements later deteriorates, so they can only be supplemented by eating plants and animals. Otherwise, why do humans still need to supplement substances such as copper, iron, zinc, calcium, sodium, potassium, phosphorus and carbon? Moreover, these things cannot be lacking in the body, otherwise they will get sick and die. Therefore, Taoism inherited the ancient Huang-Lao technique to refine elixirs and add toxic metal substances such as lead and mercury to replenish more of the body. Perhaps once the hidden ancient bloodline is activated, they can become immortals and gods.

Although it is not popular to eat natural elements such as lead and mercury in the Qin Dynasty, it is still a popular and popular way to eat some elements of the five elements to pray for immortality.

Not only Qin Shihuang did this, but countless alchemists and sorcerers were doing this. This is inevitable for the times.

Qin Shihuang chewed it slowly and ate three poria cakes soon. Although he was still a little impressed, he thought about it and stopped rubbing his mouth with his sleeve.

"Well, it's very delicious, it's a fairy food!"

"Your Majesty, yam has the effect of strengthening the body, poria has the effect of replenishing qi and unblocking meridians, and honey has the effect of warming the internal organs. In addition to yam, the other two things are extremely rare. Eating this cake for a long time is also of great benefit, but Your Majesty also asks to control it and do not eat too much at once!" said the Imperial Physician.

"I naturally know that if you go down and arrange to collect more of these three items to see if you can make the same taste. I have to eat some every day, and the concubines and princesses in the harem will also be assigned some every day."

"I obey the order!" The Imperial Physician's order quickly agreed.

"Go!" Qin Shihuang waved his hand, and the Imperial Doctor Ling and the Imperial Doctor Ling surrendered together.

"With fairy tea to nourish the body and refresh the spirit, and with this cake to fill your hunger and exercise, this child is indeed extraordinary! I must find it, I... must go and ask him personally to pray for the method of immortality!"

Qin Shihuang had decided to do it, and instantly equated the Poria cake and Ziyunxian Tea with Chen Xu. Then he looked through a blank book again and carefully rubbed it and watched it, and then ordered: "Cheng Xuan is the young mansion order!"

"Here~"

Shortly after the marshal's mansion, Ao Ping, entered the palace, hurried out again, holding a bound blank book in his hand, and returned to the government office, and then quickly summoned officials from all departments of the government office. Soon after, many bamboo carpenters and weaving craftsmen in Xianyang City were taken by soldiers to a closed high-walled courtyard in the north of the city, and began to study how to make the book.

If this convenient and lightweight writing object can be copied successfully, it will completely change the way of recording words. As one of the nine ministers, Ao Ping knows the meaning of it.
