Chapter 503 The godfather wants to be a leg pendant for the little lady
She answered his question with questions.
They were not enemies in the previous life, they were lovers in life and enemies in death.
In this life, they may all know the answer to this question, but they are also asking an impossible answer.
Shangguan Hongye sat there for a long time and suddenly looked at her and smiled: "Lan Ruo, did I owe you anything in my previous life? Even now that I know that you are involved in Cang Qiao's conspiracy, I immediately thought about how not to let you go.
Involve you instead of killing you?"
Ming Lanruo said softly: "The previous life was too far away, who knows?"
In his previous life and in this life, he never treated her without reservation. In this life, she learned not to love someone without reservation, but she got better everything, and love.
Shangguan Hongye is gone.
Ming Lanruo looked at his back and then looked out the window. At the end of December, although it didn't snow like previous years, the weather had changed after all.
By this time next year, they will probably have "unexpectedly met" each other and become torn apart.
…
royal palace
Qingyun Hall, alchemy room.
People were constantly adding various materials to the stove, and the sound of pounding medicine made it extremely noisy.
"Your Majesty, the pill given to you by Master Chitose is too problematic. I am really unable to help you relieve your addiction."
An old Taoist priest knelt on the ground with a pale face.
His forehead was smashed, and the ground was littered with things smashed by the emperor.
Emperor Ming walked around irritably: "Then tell me, what effect will this elixir have on my body?"
"Your Majesty, apart from being as addictive as Five Stone Powder, this thing has no other effects that can be seen at the moment." The old Taoist priest covered his bleeding forehead and smiled bitterly.
This thing can even relieve the emperor's headache, but everyone knows that this thing will not be that simple.
But he couldn’t verify it!
Emperor Ming gave him one of the elixir and later asked him to return half of it. He couldn't even use it for experiments.
If he had known that serving the emperor was so terrifying, he should not have listened to the Zhou family and entered the palace to seek glory and wealth.
Emperor Ming took a deep breath and said coldly: "Since you can't quit, and you can't find out the impact on me, what use do I need from you? Pull it down and kill it!"
The old Taoist was shocked and turned pale. He immediately rushed over and hugged Emperor Ming's legs: "Your Majesty, you can't do it. I'm old... I'm old..."
He gritted his teeth and said wisely: "Although I don't know what medicine Qiantose gave you, I know how to refine the real elixir of immortality. As long as you take that pill, no poison can harm your dragon body."
!”
"Oh?!" Emperor Ming suddenly looked interested and looked down at him.
"I and so many Taoist priests have been refining elixirs for many years, but we have not been able to refine the elixir of immortality you mentioned. We have only refined elixirs that can eliminate erysipelas in the body and prolong life. If you really have this ability, why don't you become an immortal yourself." Emperor Ming sneered.
He is old, but not old and stupid!
The old Taoist priest who was enshrined by the Zhou family remembered what the eldest son of the Zhou family had told him.
He gritted his teeth and said, "That's because the process of refining alchemy is too bloody and cruel. Although the elixir can make people live forever, it cannot make people become immortals!"
Emperor Ming also read many Taoist elixir books. Hearing this, his eyebrows twisted: "Are you talking about entering the evil way?"
"That's right, Taoism also distinguishes between good and evil. The elimination of the right way and the transformation into immortality depends on chance!" The old Taoist said immediately.
He looked frightened: "Although the evil path is evil, it can still make people immortal. However, if you enter the evil path, you cannot become an immortal. You can only be an earthly demon for thousands or ten thousand years."
Emperor Ming narrowed his eyes for a while, and then suddenly kicked the old man away coldly: "Tell me, what method should I use?"
The old Taoist knelt on the ground. Seeing that the emperor's performance was similar to what the Zhou family said, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least he didn't have to die now!
He mustered up the courage and said in a trembling voice: "Children and babies of several years old are the closest to the original and clean. If you can use babies and children to make elixirs and use them as medicine, you can grow the elixir of life!"
"What, using children to make elixirs, isn't this harmful to the peace of the world?" Emperor Ming was stunned and fell into a tangle for a while.
The old Taoist smiled bitterly: "It is precisely because it is too harmful to Tianhe that almost no one in Taoism dares to practice this elixir."
This is tantamount to refining the lifespan of children for your own use, so it is said to be evil!
Emperor Ming fell into silence. If the old Taoist said that he could practice the elixir of immortality casually, he would have the old Taoist killed immediately.
But this old Taoist said such a cruel, terrifying and unscrupulous method.
That means...this thing is very likely to be true.
He had indeed vaguely heard of some evil methods of using blood into elixirs, but Cang Qiao said that such methods would harm the heaven and earth and would not lead to immortality!
But... when I think about it, he is already the emperor, the ruler of this world.
If he could rule this empire for eternity, why would he have to go to heaven and become an immortal?
He just wants to be the eternal human king, so what if he becomes a demon?!
Can’t become an immortal?
Now Cang Qiao is unreliable. How to practice this elixir in the end and how to become an immortal has become a matter of suspense!
"I, as long as it yields results, I will refine the elixir first and see!" Emperor Ming suddenly said coldly.
The old Taoist was shocked, gritted his teeth, and continued according to what the eldest son of the Zhou family said -
"Your Highness, it is too easy to catch children making elixirs in the capital or even in the Central Plains. This is not good for your Majesty's reputation and rule."
When Emperor Ming heard this, he narrowed his eyes in annoyance: "Isn't it the king's land in the world? Is it the king's ministers in the world? I just want a few children to refine elixirs, and those untouchables will be reborn. How can they be so troublesome?"
But he also had to admit that what the old man said made sense!
When he was not in the right position, he was attacked and rebelled, which was really troublesome.
The old Taoist continued: "Your Majesty, it's different in the border areas. There are the most wars in northern Xinjiang. Not to mention the children who are dead or missing, adults are living a difficult life!"
He secretly observed the emperor's expression: "Aren't the people of the Zhou family guarding the northern border? They can find ways to send you a steady stream of children without anyone noticing."
Emperor Ming paused, looked at the old man, suddenly became furious, and kicked him hard: "Oh, you are waiting for me here. If I want a child, do I have to obey and let Zhou Chen go?"
Anyone dares to imitate Cang Qiao and threaten him!
The veteran was in severe pain from being kicked, but he still managed to kneel on the ground——
"Your Majesty, calm down. I am just helping the Zhou family to show their loyalty to you. As long as you give the order, they will be your staunchest support and serve you forever! I am the one who was given to you by General Zhou!"
Emperor Ming narrowed his cloudy eyes and stared at the old Taoist for a long time. The old Taoist cured his horse wind and gave him an elixir that was not inferior to Cang Qiao's.
He said coldly: "Okay, I will trust you once and offer the elixir first, and then I will find a way to pardon Zhou Chen. Anyway, there is still time until next spring!"
"Yes!" The veteran retreated.
…
"I don't know what the old Taoist said to His Majesty. They were talking in the alchemy furnace room. The noise was too loud. Our people could only hear something about the elixir of immortality."
Xiao Qizi whispered.
Hearing this, Cang Qiao's slender phoenix eyes flashed with a hint of coldness: "Let people take a look at what the old man has bought."
The little empress is about to leave, and he still has to keep an eye on these monsters, which is really annoying.
Xiao Qizi looked at his master's irritable expression and felt sad.
It's really not easy to be a godfather. I just wish I could hang on my little lady like a long-legged pendant.
