Chapter 98                                

Zhou Mengchen thought to himself: "Li Shizhen is still too naive. Why did Tengxiang deliberately ignore this when he just said it? Now he doesn't stop me from meeting Li Shizhen. Because there are many things that can be up and down. Since I have met Li Shizhen, it means I'm not afraid that I will know."

"There is only one road in front of me, Huashan."

"I can't retreat at all."

"Please choose one between saving the situation and being a scapegoat to take over Emperor Jiajing's rage."

Zhou Mengchen did not answer Li Shizhen's naive and almost cute words, but instead gave the recipe in his hand to Li Shizhen and said, "Look."

Li Shizhen took the prescription and looked at it, saying, "Isn't this what Tao Zhongwen calls the golden elixir, it's true that I don't know what it means."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Then explain it to me, what does it mean?"

Li Shizhen said: "Are these two medicines, spiritual mercury and spiritual lead, what are they?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "Is it specially refined lead and mercury?"

Lead and mercury are important objects for refining the Taoist golden elixir. Zhou Mengchen felt that although there was an extra word "spirit" written on it, it was just some mysterious things. In essence, it was heavy metals such as lead and mercury.

Li Shizhen sneered and said, "No. The so-called spiritual mercury is the urine of a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, and it is refined, also known as autumn stone. The so-called spiritual lead, also known as red lead, is the thing extracted from the girl's first meridian. All are tiger and wolf medicines."

Zhou Mengchen was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

I never expected that the so-called spiritual lead and spiritual mercury were like this. It simply subverted Zhou Mengchen's three views.

Have these Taoist priests gone through the three paths of refining medicine?

What made Zhou Mengchen even more confused was why they didn’t play according to the routine?

To be honest, after Zhou Mengchen guessed that Li Shizhen's incident was related to the Jindan, he had already recalled a lot of things about heavy metal poisoning. He was preparing to flip the cards from this aspect. But he never expected that Taoists would not use these heavy metals now.

To be honest, although Zhou Mengchen thinks these human secretions are disgusting, is this thing poisonous?

Zhou Mengchen was a little confused for a moment.

These human secretions should not be eaten to death, right?

His series of plans were ruined.

Zhou Mengchen was a little unwilling to give up and said, "Look at what other medicines are?"

Li Shizhen glanced at it and explained the medicinal herbs one by one.

What are the ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, Ganoderma lucidum, etc.? There is no need to explain these.

There are also some things that sound strangely named, Kongqing, which is said to be a kind of ore that is accompanied by copper ore. It is blue. Zhou Mengchen's conjecture is sure that it is not pure natural and pollution-free copper rust?

Zhou Mengchen can still guess and understand this.

But what Zhou Mengchen couldn't understand at all. What is five-color stone fat? Does stone still have fat? It sounds like a genius treasure in the novel of cultivating immortals.

How did Zhou Mengchen understand this?

However, it turns out that dogs can't change their eating shit. How could they not use lead and mercury when practicing elixirs? In the end, Zhou Mengchen discovered two medicines. One of them was spiritual sand and the other was blue gold.

The so-called spiritual sand is the basis of alchemy, which is essentially a mercury compound, and lapis is not gold, but lead.

It can be said that without these two things, it is a bit difficult to refine the golden light of the elixir.

Although there were some accidents, things were still back on track.

Zhou Mengchen stood up and said to Li Shizhen: "You can wait here with peace of mind, there is no problem." Zhou Mengchen said in his heart: "It's just that you don't want to be in the Imperial Hospital in the future. I don't dare to open your mouth."

After Zhou Mengchen came out, he said to Tengxiang: "Let's go. Your Majesty is about to wake up."

Tengxiang said: "Tao Zhongwen and Shao Yuanjie are both waiting outside His Majesty's Hall."

Zhou Mengchen acted slightly and said, "It was expected."

Although it has been three o'clock on the sun, Emperor Jiajing's work and rest time is different from that of ordinary people, and now he is lying in the palace. Zhou Mengchen actually saw an old acquaintance outside the Wanxiang Palace, so he was naturally Tao Zhongwen's disciple, Wang Yongning, and Wang Yongning's nephew, and now he has become the kingly Taoist for his disciples.

Wang Daozhi looked at Zhou Mengchen, his eyes full of jealousy.

Zhou Mengchen's rise will naturally have the greatest blow to whom.

This made Wang Daozhi understand one thing, that is, the encounters between people are sometimes larger than the gap between animals.

As for the starting point between the two, Wang Daozhi was actually overwhelming Zhou Mengchen. But now Wang Daozhi has no qualifications to talk to Zhou Mengchen at all. He can only stand among the gang of Taoists and secretly look at Zhou Mengchen. Zhou Mengchen didn't even notice that it was only after discovering Wang Yongning that he discovered Wang Daozhi's existence.

After all, many Taoist priests need a lot of people to cooperate. Not only a few great masters, but also a lot of Taoist priests and even Taoist children.

Therefore, there were only three or five Taoist priests who could see Emperor Jiajing. However, the disciples waiting outside were in a large area.

On one side is a group of dozens of Taoist priests, and on the other side is Zhou Mengchen alone. This forms a strong contrasting relationship.

Tao Zhongwen said: "This is the famous master Zhou Feixiong Zhou, who is known in the world and is calculated in the Ming Dynasty. He knows five hundred years in the past and five hundred years in the past."

Speaking of which, this is also the first time Tao Zhongwen has seen Zhou Mengchen.

After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen laughed and said, "I don't know that I have such great magical powers?" Then he looked up and down at the fairy-like and Taoist face and said, "This is a famous Tao Tianshi in the world."

Tao Zhongwen had a smile on his face, feeling like spring breeze, and said, "Mr. Zhou is too famous. Speaking of which, I heard that Mr. Zhou is also a senior from Taoism. I am two years older. I have some words, although they are not good at listening, I still want to explain it to Master Zhou."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Oh? What teachings does the Heavenly Master have?"

Tao Zhongwen said: "The way of calculation of the astronomy and calendar is naturally first-class, but these are just small paths. Should adults care about some real avenues?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "What is the real avenue?"

Tao Zhongwen said: "Naturally, it is the great way of heaven and man. The method of gods and immortals. I think Master Zhou has a fate with my Taoist sect, so why not enter the school? I will definitely teach you all the things I have learned in my life."

These words are somewhat sincere.

What kind of deep hatred can these Taoist priests have? It is nothing more than a disagreement on Jiajing's influence. If Zhou Mengchen enters the Taoist sect and gathers Zhou Mengchen's influence on Jiajing into the Taoist sect, it may not be a good thing for them. Just like Shao Yuanjie, he recommended many Taoist priests to Jiajing, and never thought of monopolizing the influence on Jiajing.

Because he also knows that he can't take it.

Zhou Mengchen sneered and said, "I think you are extremely ridiculous. If you don't even understand the most basic mathematics, you dare to say the great way of heaven and man and the magic of immortals. I think you can't understand the real great way of heaven and man in front of you, with your elm-wood lumps."

Tao Zhongwen sneered and said, "Zhou Feixiong, don't toast and not eat the punishment."

Zhou Mengchen said, "I don't want to eat any wine with you. I don't want to do anything."

Tao Zhongwen said to Zhou Mengchen, but said, "It's good."

Then both sides stopped talking.

Waiting quietly, Jiajing got up.

About ten minutes later, various movements came from the Wanxiang Palace. Huang Jin came out and said, "The Emperor Xuan Shao Tianshi, Tao Tianshi, and Lord Zhou met with him."

Several people performed rituals and then entered the Wanxiang Palace under the guidance of Huang Jin.

Emperor Jiajing was wearing a loose Taoist robe and swollen sleeves. When he saw Zhou Mengchen coming in, his tone was chilly, and he said, "Zhou Feixiong, I remember you were still on the wedding leave. I didn't summon you, where did you come from?"

Zhou Mengchen was stunned and immediately felt that Emperor Jiajing's tone was wrong. Obviously, Emperor Jiajing was still angry about Li Shizhen's affairs.

Is this a question knowingly? Zhou Mengchen didn't know how to answer it for a while. After all, Huang Jin's suggestion that the message from Xingye was actually a bit taboo. It's not easy to put it on the surface. But it is impossible to say that Emperor Jiajing doesn't know. After all, Emperor Jiajing is so smart that he can figure out some things with his toes.
