After the Han Dynasty, Taoism emerged, and the above-mentioned various alchemy techniques became the masterpieces of Taoists. As the pioneer of Taoists, alchemists were also divided into two veins: one entered the Taoist temple, obtained Taoist priests, and became professional clergy; more people were

Scattered among the people, wandering around, becoming all kinds of warlocks of the world.

These are all things that will not be mentioned later. Besides, during the Spring and Autumn Period, there were many folk alchemists with great skills. Gubu Ziqing from Zhao State was good at appearance art and once looked at appearances for Confucius and Zhao Xiangzi. Dan Bao from Lu State was a seclusion who was proficient in alchemy and was proficient in alchemy.

According to legend, he was able to avoid eating grain and not wearing warm clothes. Gongsun Chuo claimed that he could bring people back to life. There was also a master of Chu who was very skilled in reading photos and was very effective. After hearing this, King Zhuang once asked him for advice. In addition, Qi State

There are also people who are good at looking at dogs and swords.

From the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was a period when alchemists were extremely active. With the establishment of the theory of Yin and Yang and the prevalence of Huang and Lao Studies, various alchemy techniques were extremely popular in society, from emperors to the people, all of which were keen on this path.

The team of alchemists expanded rapidly, and these people can be roughly divided into two categories:

One type is the masters and hermits with superb skills and good conduct. They used arts such as divination and medicine to benefit the people and serve the society, and had a great reputation. At that time, there was a "sage who did not stay in the court, must be in divination and medicine."

Let me give you some examples:

Bian Que, whose original name was from Qin Yue, was from Bohai. He followed Changsangjun to learn medical skills and secret recipes, traveled between Qi and Zhao, and saved lives and helped the wounded. The effect was significant. People at that time called him "miracle doctor". Later, he came to Qin and became famous. .The Qin Imperial Doctor Li Xi was jealous of his ability and knew that his medical skills were not as good as Bian Que, so he sent someone to assassinate him.

Duke Nan of Chu was a alchemist who was good at talking about yin and yang in Chu. He was good at knowing the changes and the numbers of abolishment and prosperity. He once predicted: "Although Chu has three households, Qin will be destroyed." This prophecy later made important contributions to Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's rebellion against Qin. Promotion effect.

Yan Junping, a native of the early Han Dynasty, set up a stall to make a fortune in Chengdu to make a living. After thinking that he had hundreds of dollars every day, he put away the divination stall, put down the curtains, and devoted himself to studying "Laozi". The great scholar Yang Xiong once followed him to ask for teaching and asked him A hermit master who is noble in his works.

Sima Jizhu, a native of Chu, made a living by divination in the eastern city of Chang'an City, and distinguished the way of heaven and earth with his disciples, the fortune of the sun and the moon, and the good and bad luck of yin and yang. It is natural to have a profound understanding. The famous minister Jia Yi has listened to him many times. He was highly praised by his teachings.

Another type of alchemists in the world use various witchcraft to spy on the people, bewitch the people, and cause trouble. Some alchemists also use the emperor's mentality of seeking immortality, pretend to be a god and a ghost everywhere, boast about themselves irrelevantly, and deceive the favor of those in power. He forgets his righteousness when he sees profit, exaggerates his words, corrupts the government, and makes the rulers feel distracted and has no master. He seeks gods and worships immortals everywhere like a demon, mobilizes the masses, and wastes the people and damages the money, which makes the people suffer, destroys themselves, and destroys the country. This phenomenon was very prominent during the Qin and Han dynasties.

Hou Ping and Lu Sheng were considered orthodox alchemists with serious education. As for the group of people they found, they were a little unlucky, all of them were martyrs.

Because, because the serious alchemist is not as good as them. Those serious alchemists either hide in the deep mountains and forests and are hard to find traces, or they dodge early after getting the news. Who can't do anything about it? The method of deduction is that Hou Ping and the two fools were blocked by Lu Sheng. The remaining group of serious alchemists had been away from each other early in the morning. The two of them could not catch anyone, so they could only do so. Take action against those warlocks.

Of course, this does not mean that Qin Emperor Ying Zheng is surrounded by some alchemists in the martial arts world. He is still surrounded by some real alchemists. For example, those alchemists who like to pursue fame and fortune will take the initiative to join Qin Emperor Ying Zheng, but this kind of alchemists are still under the command of Qin Emperor Ying Zheng. The Taoist priests and Taoist priests are generally not very good. If you think about it, you will understand that those Taoist priests who practice hard and practice hard are pursuing the great way in the deep mountains. Only those who have no hope of seeking the Tao will take the wrong path and want to find another way, rely on Qin. Huang Yingzheng, the big tree, took a shortcut to Zhongnan.

The alchemist who met the Four Seas Recruitment Hall soon became a group of demons dancing, performing illusions (kills), dancing gods, writing spirits, burning turtle shells on site to prepare for divination... For a moment, the Four Seas Recruitment Hall was in a mess, like a large non-mainstream jumping Di live.
