Can you live forever

Chapter 238 Nid Hogg, Ragnarok

"In the 37th year of the first emperor of Qin, Xu Fu and other alchemists searched for longevity medicine but failed. Xu Fu said that there are dragons blocking the road to Penglai."

"Therefore, Shihuang shot and killed Jiaolong in the East China Sea."

"Xu Fusui took three thousand boys and girls out to sea in search of the elixir of life."

"According to the history books, later generations thought that Xu Fu was trying to shirk with an excuse, and only said that the dragon blocked the way, and the so-called shooting Jiao in the East China Sea was just a big fish, and believed that Xu Fu had already made up his mind to escape."

"actually not."

"Shooting dragons in the East China Sea is for longevity. After repeated failures in refining medicine, Xu Fu turned his attention to the dragon. He noticed the overwhelming vitality of the dragon."

"So, he used the captured dragon to exchange blood for the condemned prisoner."

"After only two or three failures, he succeeded. After the condemned prisoner got blue blood, his vitality was unprecedentedly strong, and all the old injuries of many years recovered in a moment. Even if the limbs were cut off, they could regenerate within a few days."

"Everything is close to perfect."

Qian Heng looked at the coquettish dragon's blood in the bottle, and told the story of the past, but Zhang Zhixiang didn't yearn for it at all when he heard it, he just said: "This is not balanced."

"Yes, out of balance."

Qian Heng sighed, and said: "If the balance of yin and yang is broken, people will not be far from death. Flood dragons are so hot that they cannot live without water, but how can people bear blue blood?"

"Jiaolong itself has blue blood, and it can even use water to balance heat."

"People can't."

"Compared to blue blood, the only thing that can quench your thirst... is red blood."

blood sucking?

Zhang Zhixiang first thought of vampires, but whether vampires or dragon people, such imperfect things, Qin Shihuang would definitely not accept them.

"Shihuang will not want this." He affirmed.

Qian Heng nodded and said, "Shihuang really didn't want it, but Xu Fu believes that this way is feasible. What he will do next is to eliminate the side effects and refine the real elixir of life."

"then……"

"He went to sea with three thousand virgins."

"He needs a closed environment and an environment with a certain population base to complete the refining of the elixir."

"Fusang is very suitable."

Qian Heng stopped at this point, Zhang Zhixiang thought about the later history and asked, "Did Xu Fu fail?"

"No, he succeeded."

Qian Heng took a deep breath and said: "Qin Shihuang couldn't wait for the medicine, it was fate, but Xu Fu did succeed, it was a ceremony, a Gu-style medicine refining."

"Three years later."

"Xu Fu returned to Daqin alone with the elixir."

"I want to fulfill the agreement, send the elixir to the tomb of the First Emperor, and try to see if I can bring him back to life. But the first emperor is the only one who covets longevity in the world?"

"The Great Qin court, the nobles of the six countries, and hundreds of families, how many would like to see the first emperor resurrected and live forever?"

"then."

"On the coast of the East China Sea, the whole world encircles and attacks Xu Fu together."

Although there are rumors that Xu Fu is Guiguzi's closed disciple, but in any case, the world is encircled, and Xu Fu is in danger. The afterglow of the pre-Qin period has not yet passed, and that was the era when gods and men were born in large numbers.

Xu Fu's death is a foregone conclusion, where is the whereabouts of the elixir?

"No one got the elixir."

"Xu Fu believed that only the first emperor in the world could enjoy this medicine, otherwise it would be a disaster for the world for anyone else to live forever. Therefore, before he died, he polluted the medicine of elixir."

"It is rumored that there is a Yamata no Orochi in Fusang, and Xu Fu once beheaded the snake's head to draw blood."

"He contaminated the elixir with the poison of snake blood."

"People who drink this medicine will not only be unable to live forever, but will turn into monsters. From then on, they can only feed on human blood. If they don't drink human blood for one day, they will be overheated, and if they don't drink for three days, they will die violently. From now on, only He can sleep day and night, and the sun's brilliance is too hot for him."

"Compared to directly exchanging blood with the secret method, the only advantage of this medicine is..."

"inherited."

"Taking the tainted elixir will give birth to all blue-blooded offspring."

Zhang Zhixiang narrowed his pupils and said, "Since you know this..."

Qian Heng nodded, and replied: "Naturally, we tried the medicine back then, and several companies participated in the research. After confirming that the medicine of elixir was ineffective, we destroyed the information and the ethnicity of the people who tested the medicine."

"Originally, this matter passed away like a cloud of smoke."

"But later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty got the news from somewhere, knowing that the elixir of immortality had been successfully refined, so he also began to search for immortals and ask for the medicine."

"There were also some ups and downs in the middle."

"This situation didn't improve until the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhang Tianshi refined the golden pill of dragon and tiger, and Wei Boyang wrote "Zhou Yi Can Tong Qi", which opened the way of alchemy. Since then, alchemy has become regular, and people have seen a more feasible way. No one is looking for Xu Fu's elixir."

Having said that, Qian Heng stopped, and he turned his head to look at the dragon corpse, which was almost only a skeleton.

Said: "Unexpectedly, someone started to play with Jiaolong's idea again, and wanted to refine the medicine of immortality."

Zhang Zhixiang understood what Qian Heng meant by these stories. The injury on Jiaolong's body was obviously someone who deliberately hunted and killed Jiaolong. Is this intended to refine the medicine of immortality?

"Refining medicine will kill many people." Zhang Zhixiang said sternly.

Qian Heng shook his head and said, "The dead are another matter. The main reason is... What Xu Fu polluted back then was not the elixir, but the curse. All the elixir refined through dragon's blood will inevitably be polluted."

"Drinking that medicine will only turn you into a monster."

"Although I don't know how the method of refining medicine was preserved, since they are hunting dragons, it means that they have already started, and we have a group of blue-blooded enemies."

"That's a monster that feeds on human blood. They are no longer the same group as us."

"In their eyes, we are just food."

"We have to find a way to find them and destroy them."

Qian Heng's tone was very firm, because this is the mission of their lineage of heavenly officials to protect civilization, because not everyone is Qin Huang Han Wu, they disdain to become that kind of monster to gain strength and longevity.

But, someone is willing.

And quite happy to...

"Campaign."

Zhang Zhixiang suddenly remembered something. He remembered some rumors of conspiracy theories on the Internet in later generations. They said that the fellow shipmates were all lizard people. They said that those were blue-blooded people who manipulated the world in the dark...

"To the west, fellow boat club..."

Zhang Zhixiang's vision was raised again, he seemed to see the long river of history at a node, what kind of diversion happened, he saw a huge conspiracy.

I saw the lush and towering trees of civilization.

And a black dragon was gnawing at the roots of the tree until the tree of civilization collapsed...

When the tree of civilization collapses, "Ragnarok" will come.

This is a prophecy of destruction.
