Tricked by a ferocious beast into time-traveling, the story begins with fleeing famine.

The futon looks ordinary from a distance, made of yellow silk, with a Bagua picture in the middle. When you get closer, you can see that there are densely embroidered small characters around the Bagua picture. Qingyan took a closer look, and it turned out to be the sixteen-character Taoist meditation formula. and its explanation.

They are virtue, nourishment, heart, kindness, nothing, less, quietness, fewness and lightness.

The secret of virtue: put others before yourself, treat others better than yourself, attribute fault to yourself and attribute credit to others, don’t hold on to your own opinion, I am right and others are not, don’t be arrogant because of non-human beings, belittle others to be arrogant, don’t use tricks to show off your strength. , show off one's talent and luck, use one's power to bully others, be arrogant and arrogant, one's words and writing are immoral and jealous of others, it is better to earn one's own living, self-study and self-sufficiency.

Nourishing Zi Jue: speaking less to nourish internal qi, being less lustful to nourish essence and qi, thinning food to nourish blood and qi, swallowing body fluids to nourish visceral qi, abstaining from anger to nourish liver qi, dieting moderately to nourish stomach qi, and even fetal breathing to nourish the lungs Qi, think less to nourish the kidney qi, act cautiously and store it to nourish the spirit qi.

Heart Zi Jue: The heart is the master of human beings, and it is also the master of the essence, energy, and spirit. To refine the energy, refine the energy, and refine the spirit, you must first start with refining the heart. The mind contains movement and stillness. If the mind is not moving, then the emptiness is extremely quiet. If the mind is clear and the nature is clear, and people and I are forgotten, the mind has no intention, and the mind is not correct. If the mind is not moved by name, and if the mind is not moved, it is a shortcut.

The secret of the word "kind": Cultivate a kind nature, keep a kind heart, do good deeds, be kind to others, and encourage others to do good. If there is goodness inside and outside, both virtue and conduct will be achieved. If everyone can do good, evil will disappear, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe.

Wuzi Jue: There is no boundary to the world, no dust to live in, no thought to move, no intention to use, no heaven and no earth, no one and no self.

The secret of less words: less leakage of essence, less consumption of spirit, less loss of energy, less enjoyment of blessings, less pursuit of happiness, less fame, less accumulation of benefits, less thinking and more energy.

Jing Zi Jue: The body wants to be still, the heart wants to be still, and the Qi wants to be still. It is necessary to seek tranquility during practice. You should also seek to be able to be still during normal times. You should seek to be still when you are still. You should also seek to be still when you are noisy. Quietness can produce concentration. , will definitely give birth to wisdom.

The Secret of Silence: Being quiet about words nourishes Qi, being quiet about vision is about nourishing intelligence, being quiet about vision is about nourishing one’s nature, being quiet about desires is about nourishing essence, being quiet about movement is about nourishing one’s mind, and being little about everything is about being clear about everything.

The secret of "dan": the mind of name should be light, the mind of benefit should be light, the mind of sex should be light, the mind of love should be light, the mind of anger should be light, the mind of suspicion should be light, the mind of winning should be light, if everything is light, there will be no uneasiness.

Qingyan raised her eyebrows. The futon clearly showed signs of use. The middle of the futon had collapsed. However, the pattern on the outer cloth and the words embroidered on it had not been worn at all. Looking at it this way, this futon might still have a history. .

Qingyan stretched out her hand to pick up the futon, but found that she couldn't lift it!

With her strength, it is impossible to lift a small futon, which only means that there is something fishy here.

Qingyan used a lot of strength and tried again. This time she was able to lift it. She also discovered through her hand that the inside of the futon was not made of cattails or filled with rice husks and bamboo shoots, but a stone!

With her huge strength, she had to use all her strength, so it can be seen that this stone must be extraordinary.

She struggled to put the futon up and opened the wrapping cloth. To her surprise, what was inside was not the stone she imagined, but wood.

This piece of wood can have this weight, which only means that it is even more extraordinary.

As far as she knew, the heaviest wood known to later generations was snakewood. One cubic meter weighed one ton, and when this volume was converted, it was obviously not far behind.

But this was definitely not snakewood or ironwood because the textures were different. She had seen those two types of wood before.

The grain of this wood is a kind of thin diagonal lines, dotted with many shining bright spots, like tiny stars.

Chou Chou took one look and rushed over, "What a profit! This is actually the wood of the legendary immortal tree! I don't know how Hou Sheng got it."

Qingyan had a question mark on her face, "Immortal tree?"

Chou Chou nodded, "Yes, it is the Immortal Tree. According to legend, it is called "Immortal", also known as "Ganmu" and "Shoumu".

According to legend, the Immortal Tree can make people immortal and can also resurrect the dead. It was born in Kunlun in the west, where the Queen Mother of the West lives.

In my inheritance, the description of immortal trees is as small as a few inches, heavier than a thousand kilograms, with fine lines and slanting lines, and a star in the middle.

Some say that eating the fruit from this tree can lead to immortality, while others say that by scraping a little bit of the wood to refine elixirs, one can live longer and become immortal.

It seems that Hou Sheng's intention to practice elixirs for the First Emperor was not without purpose. It turned out that he had obtained the immortal tree, so he thought he was very sure of it.

I just don’t know why it didn’t succeed, and whether there was a lack of medicinal materials that made Xu Fu go to sea. "

Qingyan carefully touched the wood in her hand, then remembered what it was for, and frowned again.

"I don't know what Hou Sheng was thinking, sitting on such a precious thing as a futon. Sitting under his buttocks all the time. If he tries to make elixirs again, won't he feel uncomfortable?"

Chou Chou smiled and shook his head, "You are overthinking it. He should just be here and not necessarily sit on it to meditate.

Not to mention that the wood is very hard and it’s not comfortable at all to rub your buttocks on it, but let’s just talk about how such a good thing could be wasted like this.

If you take off the cloth cover on top, it must be clean inside. It is probably put on top to hide it from others. "

Qingyan retorted disapprovingly: "But before I moved it up just now, there were traces of meditating on it. Didn't you see that the middle part had fallen down?"

At this point, she herself felt something was wrong. She couldn't move such a hard piece of wood. How could she create a pit by meditating on it?

With this thought in mind, I kept taking off the yellow silk wrapping cloth with my hands.

I discovered that the outer ten centimeters or so of this piece of wood was actually solid wood. The reason why it was concave in the middle was because it was basically hollow, with a fur mat on it.

The mat is filled with rice husks. When you open it, you can see a ten centimeter-deep hollow underneath. I don't know what tool was used to grind it out. It may be that the sawdust was ground down to make medicine.

Qingyan moved it before and didn't touch the middle with her hands, so she didn't realize that the middle was soft and there was something inside.

Taking out the cloth padding inside, I found a few thin pieces of jade at the bottom, which were neatly stacked underneath.

Qingyan gently flattened the wood again, then took out a piece of jade and took it in her hand to look at it. The shape of the jade piece was irregular, like scraps from somewhere, and it was only about one centimeter thick.

She turned her hand around, and the jade pieces actually reflected different colors under the light of the night pearl.

"What kind of jade is this? It can come in so many colors."

Chou Shangyan looked over, as did Jin Yang and Huang Huang. They were checking the painting nearby when they heard Chou Chou said it was an immortal tree, so they gathered around.

Chou Chou looked at the jade piece. He had never seen it before and couldn't explain it for a while. Jin Yang knew better. After all, it had been in the human world and had been with the immortal cultivators. Although it was later sealed in the tomb and never came out, it still knew some treasures.

He also picked up a piece of jade, sensed it with his spiritual consciousness, and then said: "We are really here, this turns out to be the Five Elements Stone."

Qingyan blinked in confusion, "What kind of jade is the Five Elements Stone?"

Jin Yang explained: "The Five Elements Stone is similar to the Lingshi. It contains spiritual energy, but the general Lingshi only has the spiritual energy in it, or like the Fire Spiritual Stone we collected before, it contains the Five Elements elements.

There is only one element in those, but the Five Elements Stone contains metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Although it is not as rich as a single one, because all elements are present, it is suitable for immortal cultivators, no matter what spiritual root it is. All of them can be used for cultivation, which is much stronger than a single spirit stone. "

Qingyan nodded, thinking that she had put this in the futon before, and it should be used as an aid during meditation.

Put this below, and the spiritual energy here is richer, it will have a greater bonus, then Hou Sheng may really become an immortal.

Of course, this immortal may be just a legend. After all, they have never seen a real immortal. They all exist in legends, so there is still a little doubt.

Qingyan also used her consciousness to sense the Five Elements Stone in her hand, but of course she sensed nothing.

After all, she has no practice and doesn’t know how to sense the aura and elements in it, but the radiant ones are really beautiful. They are much prettier than those made of jade, crystal, and diamonds, and they are more gentle and not very dazzling. kind of.

She suddenly thought of something and said to Chou Chou: "I remember seeing it somewhere. It was said that the piece of He's jade obtained by Qin Shihuang could show several colors, and his imperial jade seal was made of He's jade. Do you think there is a possibility that the Heshi Bi is carved from jade? It is the Five Elements Stone.

Then Hou Sheng was with Qin Shi Huang. Is it possible that he got some scraps from Qin Shi Huang?

These jade pieces were the leftover scraps after carving the imperial seal, and he got them back.

In other words, the alchemists who followed the First Emperor probably gathered together because of these Five Elements Stones.

The reason why they all ran away later was only on the surface, or maybe they didn't escape, but left after getting what they wanted.

After all, if you are really capable, since you can become an immortal, how can you be afraid of the punishment of a human emperor and just use a magic spell to leave. "

Chou Chou, Jin Yang and Huang Jin were all thoughtful after listening to it, and they all felt that what Qingyan said made sense.

If this is the case, it is actually more reasonable than what is recorded in history.

If those people were incompetent, they would not be able to stay with the emperor.

Since he has been with the emperor for such a long time, and the First Emperor is not a fool, he can become the king of a country and unify the six countries. How could he be fooled by someone without real talent and knowledge?

Only those who have real materials will be valued. As for those people who left later, it is very likely that they got what they wanted and left on their own.

As for the fact that the First Emperor did not receive the elixir of immortality, it is possible that as shown on the mural, the emperor on earth is already a supreme person, and God cannot allow him to have a long life. Wouldn't that mean that he should be given all the benefits? Come on.

Few emperors in the world have lived long. If you want to have the supreme power, you must pay a relative price, just like there is no free lunch in the world.

Of course, these are all their conjectures, and they are just conjectures without confirmation.

After that, the Futon of Immortal Wood was taken into the space by Jin Yang. There was no way, the Chou Chou space had no aura, and putting it in was not good for the wood. It might reduce its effectiveness, or make its effectiveness disappear. Yang space is safer.

The spiritual energy inside is rich and will continue to nourish it, and if you're lucky, it might sprout again.

After all, this is the wood of an immortal tree, and it may have super vitality. It would be great if an immortal tree could be planted.

Before entering the space, Qingyan took off the cloth cover and put away the fragments of the Five Elements Stone inside.

The immortal wood was placed next to the spiritual spring. In the open space next to the pavilion, the spiritual spring water happened to flow through it to see if it could be nourished and take root again.

As for Qingyan and the others, they did not return to the space. Instead, they went to the wooden shelves with bottles and cans to see if there was anything good on them.

The bottles and jars on the shelves are all made of pottery or wood. Some of them don't even have lids on them, while others have lids or wooden stoppers on them.

There is no writing or labeling on it, and I don’t know what is inside.

They carefully picked it up and looked at it. The ones without lids were mostly empty, but the ones with lids did have something in them.

There were two pottery jars among them. One jar contained ashes. It was hard to tell what the ashes were.

The color is blue-gray and very fine. I don’t know if it has been passed through a sieve. Anyway, I can’t see any other substances, just fine gray.

Because they didn't know what it was, they didn't dare to move it casually, so they put it back.

There is also a jar with liquid in it. After opening it, I smelled a faint smell of wine. It must be wine. It must have been there for hundreds of years. The smell of wine can still be smelled. This shows that the manufacturing process of this jar is still the same. It's amazing, the sealing effect is really good.

As for several small bottles, especially the wooden ones, some of them contain powdery things, some are light yellow, some are gray, and some are white, like powder extracted from some medicinal materials or some other substance.

It doesn't have any special smell, and they don't know much about it, so they really can't tell what it is.

There was only a white bottle containing pills. This bottle should have been carved out of ivory or other materials, and was very soft and smooth.

Because it is only the size of a baby's fist, it only contains three pills, but the color of this pill is quite scary, it is blood red.

Yes, it is blood red, but there is no smell of blood on it. Of course, if it is really made of blood, it cannot be this color, because blood will oxidize in the air and turn into rust color. Will not maintain this bright red color.
