I am engaged in construction in Datang

After a while, Li Xiaoxia coaxed the child into submission and came out to call Li Yin.

"Are you a Taoist?" This was a pleasant surprise. Taoism and chemistry are inseparable.

The craftsmen in Zhuangzi have started learning physics, but are still at a loss when it comes to chemistry. I wonder who this kid's teacher is and whether he can be fooled?

"Where did you learn from?"

"Qinling West Mountain Chuyun Temple." The child began to despair again: "Master told me to go down the mountain and won't let me go back!"

There is a Taoist temple in Qinling Mountains? How come I have never heard of it?

Li Yin thought that she didn't know about this because she had been here for too short a time. However, when she asked Xiaoxia and others, they didn't know either.

We ate too much meat yesterday, so everyone can just have some millet porridge at noon today, and the little Taoist priest can also eat with us.

"What's your name? Oh, do you have a Taoist nickname?" Li Yin wanted to ask the name, but then changed the subject and thought that asking the Taoist nickname might be easier to win favor.

"My name is Lu Zhen. I don't have a Taoist name, and I'm not very good at martial arts."

Poor little kid, Li Yin thought, could this child be bullied by the Taoist temple?

"Are you going back to see the master?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhen burst into tears again: "Master didn't ask me to go back."

While everyone was drinking porridge in silence, Li Shimin finally woke up and brought Empress Changsun to eat, along with several civil officials.

As for the generals, they were still sleeping soundly.

"Brother." Li Yin pointed at Lu Zhen and introduced him to Li Shimin: "The man who performed the intestinal abscess surgery that day was called Lu Zhen. He was a small Taoist priest who was expelled from the Chuyun Temple in Xishan, Qinling Mountains."

"There is a Taoist temple in Qinling Mountains?" Li Shimin was also surprised. He had never heard of any Taoist temple in Qinling Mountains.

How about he go back and ask Yuan Tiangang to see if it is one of their branches?

"Brother, do you still remember what my sister said about chemistry?"

"Chemistry is related to Taoism? Does gunpowder belong to chemistry?" Li Shimin was smart and immediately thought of the alchemy that the sorcerers were doing all day long. Some of them were indeed magical, such as spontaneous combustion of powder and blue will-o'-the-wisp.

They blew up furnaces all day long, and then the army had gunpowder.

Li Yin nodded: "Not only that, many medicines are also related to chemistry. For example, the special medicine for gas disease that my sister-in-law wants to take contains a chemical called terbutaline sulfate."

I drew a structural formula on paper and wrote the molecular formula.

Everyone felt a headache when looking at these earthworm characters.

"Brother, you can use the excuse of refining the elixir of immortality to recruit sorcerers from all over the country to come to the capital!"

“Hiss—” Before others could react, Lu Zhen began to gasp: “You tricked people here and killed them!”

"Ouch!"

Li Yin flicked Lu Zhen's head and said, "What's the point of killing them? I'm just giving them a chance to get promoted!"

"Hypocrite, big liar!"

"Bang!" Li Yin knocked the other person's head again: "You are responsible for taking my people to Chuyun Temple and tricking your master and brothers to come here!"

"Wow, wow, wow..." Lu Zhen burst into tears again and drank porridge while crying.

"Sister, do those medicines have any side effects?" Li Shimin hadn't started taking the 'magic pills' yet, and he actually didn't believe in those messy things.

Li Yin thought for a moment and said, "There are no side effects that will harm the body, but some people may feel nauseous after taking it, but it will be fine after a while."

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, it was not a big problem.

"Sister, is there really someone in the world who can live forever?"

"Brother..." Li Yin was helpless. Li Shimin was a die-hard in history. "If someone uses the rhetoric of immortality to fool you, they must be a fraud gang."

“?” Li Shimin’s mind was full of question marks.

"Just to cheat you out of your money."

Li Shimin had a blank expression on his face, and would never admit that he had been fooled: "Sister, can you trust my face?"

He thought of Yuan Tiangang, that old guy was good at reading faces.

"It's credible. But it's actually a discipline called psychology, and it also includes some criminal investigation content." Li Yin said, "For example, when a Taoist priest reads your face, he not only looks at your face, but also at what your face reveals."

"A poor person's face must be weather-beaten, and his eyes are different. You can see that his teeth are yellow, his eyes are numb and cloudy, and his fingernails are covered with dirt."

"A rich man who has encountered difficulties, he has fine clothes and delicious food, but he is sad and miserable. You can ask him if he has encountered difficulties in his career, marriage, money... Then according to the changes in his expression, you can continue to say that I guess you have suffered a setback in your career. Then others will be surprised, how did you know?"

Li Shimin: "..."

So that's it, just some tricks.

When Yuan Tiangang looked at himself, he would always ask some questions, so it seemed that he was giving the answers to others.

"Some Taoists are good at fortune-telling, and some are good at refining elixirs. They are all talented, brother!"

The few of them were talking happily, while Lu Zhen was trembling beside them.

It was just after noon when several generals finally arrived. Everyone ate something to fill their stomachs and then went to take a bath.

The next day.

The news of recruiting sorcerers to the capital spread throughout the Tang Dynasty.

This commotion naturally alarmed the two Taoists who were still in the capital.

"Brother Tiangang."

"Yellow crown."

Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng met at the palace gate. After greeting each other, they looked at each other and walked towards the palace silently.

"Brother Tiangang, you said..."

"Hey, don't speculate on the Holy Spirit."

"Hey... that pill is not a good thing. You can't eat too much of it."

"So you and I came here to find out."

The two chatted briefly and then fell silent again. After all, this was too sudden and they had not made much preparation.

If Your Majesty insists on taking medicine, he might as well make a non-toxic sugar pill for Your Majesty to fool you.

……

Qinling West Mountains.

Lu Zhen looked gloomy as he took Li Xiaosong and others towards Izumo Temple.

"Wuuuu... Master, I am an unfilial disciple..." Although he was crying out of breath, he walked quite fast.

Soon, a dilapidated Taoist temple came into view.

The plaque of the Taoist temple fell down and was placed upright in the left corner of the wall, with three words "Izumo Temple" written on it.

"Lu Zhen, why is your Taoist temple so poor?" Zhao Erniu was surprised. It was even poorer than when Zhuangzi was poor. Looking at its shabby state, it might collapse at any time.

"Well, I was careless when I was refining the elixir before..." Lu Zhen blushed: "The temple has no money to repair it."

Their Taoist temple has no fields or anything like that, and they make a living by deceiving people every day by selling all sorts of elixirs and talismans. They are afraid that people will get sick from taking them, so they never sell more than one product in one place.

Because the master sold the food cheaply, gradually several of the brothers went down the mountain because they couldn’t get enough food.

When he left, only the master, the eldest senior brother, and a younger junior brother who was about eleven or twelve years old were left in the temple.

Lu Zhen walked forward and pushed the door open: "Master, I'm back!"

'state! '

The door fell down.
