Turbulent Times Chapter 78: Eternal Life Pill


Sha Qianmo let out a long laugh and patted his palms. Immediately, some beautiful young women with conical hats and enchanting figures entered the attic with all kinds of food. There are various delicacies, mostly meat, and there are also several kinds of melons and fruits that can last for storage. Wang Junlin took a piece of melon from the Western Regions unceremoniously, took a bite, and felt extremely refreshed.

Sha Qianmo usually listens to compliments a lot, and often Sha Qianmo dismisses them, and even cuts off the tongues of those who compliment him, but Wang Junlin's words made him quite comfortable.

Shaqianmo is well-known in the Western Regions, but Wang Junlin's reputation as a poisonous general is also not small. It is rumored that he was poisoned and burned to death by Wang Junlin, and killed no less than 100,000 people. Tens of thousands, but it seems that it is still much inferior to Wang Junlin.

For a peerless murderer like Sha Qianmo, the Great Khan of the Western Turks may not be very attractive to him, but a murderer like Wang Junlin who seems to him to be of the same level as him is in his heart The weight is extremely heavy. This time, the camel city was deliberately laid down, and grand etiquette such as nine corpses welcoming guests and young girls' wine cups were used to show Wang Junlin's importance. King's Lin came captive, naturally he also had bright muscles and threatened with powerful force.

At this time, several dancers wearing veils turned out from behind the curtain, holding sharp short knives instead of musical instruments, and a rapid tambourine sounded from behind the curtain. , twisting her body and swinging her hips, she began to dance, with a flame-like pattern on her navel, which turned into a blooming lotus in the rapid swing.

"The poisonous general just saw the strange poison in the king's body at a glance. I wonder if there is a way to detoxify?" The two of them pretended to be coercive for a long time, and finally Sha Qianmo couldn't help asking the most urgent words in his heart again.

At this time, Wang Junlin found someone stabbing him behind him, but when he looked back, it was Xiao Yu'er. Compared with Su Jingxiang who was still trembling beside her, Xiao Yu'er seemed to have forgotten the fear just now, and her eyes were black. Turning around, I don't know if she has a lack of brain, or she is born with thick lines. Just now she was so scared that she was almost made into a wine glass, but now she started to drool just looking at the food on the case.

Wang Junlin gave her a piece of melon, and she gave it to Su Jingxiang next to her. The latter didn't pick it up, so she ate it in two or three bites, and then kept looking at the oily fat chicken, almost sticking out her tongue , Wang Junlin smiled, and gave her the plate together, and then took a piece of melon and handed it to Su Jingxiang who was next to him. The latter took the melon and ate it, and his body finally stopped shaking.

Wang Junlin then said: "I was just guessing just now, what kind of poison your Excellency was poisoned, I need to make a further diagnosis. But when I came out of the mountain, the master once told me the school rules, only poisoning is allowed, and detoxification is not allowed. .”

Sha Qianmo's expression turned cold, he stared at Wang Junlin like a poisonous snake, and said in a deep voice, "Isn't the poisonous general afraid of death?"

Wang Junlin's expression did not change at all, thinking that the rumors that Sha Qianmo was extremely greedy, now it seems that the rumors are true, and he didn't even plan to pay the consultation fee. Only the next person can solve it.”

After a pause, Wang Junlin said again: "Your limbs haven't turned black yet. If I'm not mistaken, your skin has started to itch slightly now. In another month, your itching will be unbearable. Control it." I couldn’t help but lick my skin until it festered, and then bleed to death. Moreover, if the poison spreads all over the body, it will be difficult to detoxify it even if it is lying down.”

Wang Junlin looked at Sha Qianmo's pupils constricted, then burst out laughing, and said, "Okay, as long as you cure this damned poison to me, the consultation fee will satisfy you."

Wang Junlin suddenly said: "It's better to let me detoxify you first, and then ask about the consultation fee."

Sha Qianmo obviously did not expect that Wang Junlin, who was not afraid of death just now, suddenly showed a look of indifference to the consultation fee. Although he was puzzled, he heard the diagnosis now, and said impatiently: "What preparations do you need?"

Wang Junlin shook his head and said, "No, you just need to answer some questions about the poison truthfully."

Sha Qianmo took a deep breath and said, "Excuse me, the poisonous general?"

Wang Junlin said: "Your Excellency was poisoned a month ago?"

Shaqianmo nodded and said: "That's right, it's been thirty-seven days since now, I have tried everything I can, and I have searched all the famous doctors in the Western Regions, but there is no way to cure the poison, even these quack doctors have never seen this kind of poison." A strange poison."

Wang Junlin sneered in his heart, what the **** is wrong with eating the metal element arsenic, arsenic combines with the sulfhydryl group in the tyrosinase of epidermal melanocytes, makes the copper element in a free state, activates tyrosinase and increases melanin The synthesis of darkens the complexion. This kind of advanced biochemical knowledge is naturally nothing in later generations, but no one in this era can know it.

Without revealing anything, Wang Junlin smiled slightly and said, "Besides itchy skin, do you often feel dizzy recently?"

Sha Qianmo lifted his spirits and said, "That's right, I feel dizzy every time I get up recently."

Wang Junlin sighed, and said: "I have been able to diagnose the poison you are suffering from, and indeed have a way to detoxify you."

When Sha Qianmo heard the words, he was ecstatic in his heart, but he was not an ordinary person, with murderous intent in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Maybe the poisonous general can see how this king was poisoned?"

Wang Junlin said: "This poison can only be poisoned if it is eaten into the stomach."

Sha Qianmo was very calm, and instead of detoxifying Wang Junlin immediately, he lowered his head and pondered how he was poisoned.

Wang Junlin ignored him. While eating delicious food and drinking wine, he watched the rare dance performance in front of him. A few simple syllables were played over and over again, knocking out a brisk rhythm. The dancer's bare feet fluttered on the wooden board, and the fat skirts fluttered, without giving people a bloated feeling, just like flying butterflies.

This is the clothes that Wang Junlin has seen most closely to the clothes of later generations since he came to this era. It can protect the full breasts, revealing a large piece of snow-white skin. The pants on the lower body are extremely fat, and it is no problem to fit two or three dancers, but they are quickly tightened at the ankles. , actually had a naughty meaning.

Although Su Jingxiang and Xiao Yu'er were much calmer at this time, they were still restless. They were close to Wang Junlin from both sides. While serving Wang Junlin to eat, the two girls carefully looked at Sha Qianmo.

They were really frightened this time. After sending Wang Junlin away in Shazhou City, they packed up their things and went back to the Su Mansion. Yun, without saying a word, Lingyun asked the two men behind her to knock them unconscious, and when they appeared, they had already arrived in the camel city, and they were drawn to pry their heads open, using their skulls as wine glasses .

Sha Qianmo didn't know what he thought of, suddenly his face became extremely gloomy, and he roared angrily: "Bring me the longevity pill."

As soon as his words fell, a maid immediately brought up an exquisite wooden plate with a white porcelain plate on it. Inside the plate was a white pill the size of a quail egg. Tangy. In short, at first glance, it makes people feel that it is not a mortal thing, and can only be associated with elixir.

Sha Qianmo stared at the white pill for a while with an extremely ugly face, then held it up and said to Wang Junlin: "This elixir is taken by me every day, the poisonous general may wish to take a look at this longevity pill."

The maid turned around and put the plate in front of Wang Junlin again. Wang Junlin picked it up with two hands curiously. The size of a quail egg, he actually felt a heavy pressing hand, which was not much lighter than an iron egg of the same size, and the elixir shone brightly under the sunlight coming in from the sixteen windows of the tent, shining with a metallic luster. After exerting force, it turned out to be a little soft. Wang Junlin knew that it was lead and mercury, and when he took a closer look at the silver-gray lines, he guessed that it should be due to the arsenic stone mixed in.

Wang Junlin sighed, put the elixir back on the plate, looked at Sha Qianmo, and thought that this horse thief king is really talented and in good health, he eats a poison elixir every day, but he is not dead yet, indeed it is not normal people.

In fact, Wang Junlin didn't need to look carefully at the so-called longevity pill, he knew that the metal element arsenic that Sha Qianmo ate by mistake came from this longevity pill.

In later generations, anyone who has a little understanding of ancient Chinese alchemy techniques will know that most of the alchemy is actually poisonous, because these alchemists must make the alchemy look like a panacea. Add some metal substances to it, such as mercury, lead, etc.

As for the metal element arsenic, it is easy to turn people's skin black after eating it by mistake, so as long as they are experienced alchemists, they will not add arsenic stone powder to it, so the person who made alchemy for Shaqianmo must be a novice, or It is to use Shaqianmo as a little white rabbit for experiments.

Wang Junlin remembers reading an unofficial commentary on the secrets of the death of the emperors in later generations, which mentioned that in order to pursue longevity, the emperors of all dynasties liked to find some experts to make alchemy for them. The emperors who often ate these so-called longevity pills were relatively short-lived. In fact, the accumulation of harmful metal elements in the body was equivalent to death from poisoning.

Of course people just thought that these emperors died of illness or died suddenly. No one thought that it would be the longevity pill that made the emperor a short-lived person.
