Chapter 260 Five Colored Medicine Stones and Immortal Dew
Ye Zhen tapped her fingers lightly on the blackboard.
Obviously Ye Zhen reserved time for everyone to think.
Suddenly, Ye Zhen's voice brought everyone's thoughts back to reality.
"Do you still remember the tomb of the South Vietnamese King Zhao Wei from the beginning?"
I don’t know why Ye Zhen suddenly talked about Zhao Wei again.
Does this still matter?
"Zhao Tuo lived until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."
"And he lived to be 103 years old and killed all his sons."
"He directly passed the position to his grandson, who is Zhao Wei."
"But after Zhao Tuo died, it actually existed in name only."
"In the end, he was destroyed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."
"Everyone still remembers what I said back then, that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was actually the same as the First Emperor of Qin."
"Do you also like the things of gods very much?"
"If we talk about immortals, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is even worse than Qin Shihuang."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also liked things about gods?
Some viewers are new viewers and have never watched Ye Zhen’s show before.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who seemed so wise and powerful, was actually an emperor who believed in gods very much.
The audience exclaimed.
"Does Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, actually believe in gods?"
"This is not written in the history books."
"Do you want immortality like Qin Shihuang?"
"Isn't it the female corpse from Mawangdui before? The body does not rot!"
Obviously everyone was very surprised that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also pursued immortality and believed in gods.
Ye Zhen smiled and said: "The Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was looking for the elixir of immortality.
People were also sent overseas to search for elixirs.
It is the same as Qin Shihuang back then.
However, at the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, these Qi refiners had also made progress, and they wanted to refine their own elixirs.
Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed the words of these Qigong practitioners.
A huge immortal dew tray was built.
What is the function of this Immortal Dew Tray?
It is used to collect the essence of the sun and moon.
It is recorded in the book: There is a bronze figure standing on top, holding a plate in his hand, which is called "Chenglu Pan".
The water that falls from the Big Dipper at the third watch is called "Tianjiang" or "nectar".
Take this water and grind it into pieces of beautiful jade, mix it and take it, you can rejuvenate your youth.
The contents of this Immortal Dew Tray were called Immortal Dew by the Qi Refiners at that time.
Mixing it with beautiful jade can make you live forever.
This method was imitated by the Yellow Emperor. "
After hearing this, the audience felt very outrageous.
How can one live forever by eating stones and drinking dew? But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did believe in this thing.
“Isn’t the dew on this dew tray just dew!”
"It's so funny. Do you actually believe this?"
"No, didn't Teacher Ye say it before? This jade stone is a spiritual stone. This is not unreasonable."
"The spirit stones in this novel are not chewed directly. The method is wrong!"
Hearing this, some researchers from the Life Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were dumbfounded.
Isn't this method used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty the same method they are currently experimenting on mice?
They thought their experiment was advanced enough, but they didn't expect that the ancients more than 2000 years ago had already done it.
And the experiment is not done with white mice, but with real people.
This man is still an emperor!Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.
"So it turns out that the ancients had already tried it?"
"It seems that we underestimated the ancients."
"What happened to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the end? Is there any result?"
Obviously they think modern science is everything, but they don't know that there are many things that science cannot explain now.
Ye Zhen introduced content that was not in the history books.
“When people study history, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is an emperor who cannot be skipped.
It can be said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty developed the Han Dynasty to a peak, an unprecedented height.
Among them, the most important records in history books have influenced our country for more than 2000 years.
Something that is still deeply affected by it to this day.
That is to overthrow all schools of thought and only respect Confucianism.
It has to be said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a master of great talent and strategy.
But when he got old, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became obsessed with immortality.
Like Qin Shihuang, he also wanted to become an immortal.
For thousands of years, I have believed deeply in those Qi refiners.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would take some unknown pills every day.
It was precisely because of these pills that not only did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fail to become an immortal, but it actually made him shorter-lived.
As mentioned before, if you seek the elixir of life, you can become an immortal.
The second is to visit famous mountains and become an Earth Immortal.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty visited the mountains and rivers several times in order to become an earthly immortal.
Unfortunately, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not succeed until the moment of his death.
After his death, he was buried in the dragon jade box, which was the highest standard jade garment with gold threads.
However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to become the lowest corpse-exposing immortal, which was an extravagant hope.
why? Because the tomb of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was robbed five times in total, and even the body was pulled out.
Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not even succeed in dissecting the corpse.
But Zhao Wei, the king of South Vietnam, was different. "Ye Zhen changed the topic and mentioned Zhao Wei.
At this time, a jade object appeared behind Ye Zhen.
This jade article was also unearthed from the tomb of the Nanyue King.
A jade cup is placed on a bronze flat tray.
There are three bronze snakes guarding the cup.
The cup is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, with the middle position appearing like petals.
"This is the jade cup with a copper tray and a tall foot." Ye Zhen introduced: "When it was excavated, the cup with a tray and a tall foot was placed at the head of the coffin of the King of Nanyue."
“This cultural relic is composed of three parts: a sapphire cup with a tall foot, a jade bracket with petals on the dragon’s head, and a copper tray.
The shape is like a three-dragon arch cup. It is made of five materials: gold, silver, jade, copper and wood. It has exquisite craftsmanship and unique shape.
Therefore, this plate-bearing goblet was used by the King of Nanyue to gather nectar and take the elixir of immortality during his lifetime.
The origin is the same as that of Emperor Wu of the Han , it is not as majestic as the dew-bearing plate built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Just an ordinary sized cup. "
But this also shows that at that time, there was a matter of collecting immortal dew to cultivate immortality.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not the only one doing it, but the most powerful people at that time were doing it.
Some viewers are confused.
"Is it possible that this is just an ordinary jade cup?"
"That's right, it's possible this is just an ordinary vessel."
"This is a bit far-fetched. No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary jade cup."
But then Ye Zhen's words dispelled some of their doubts.
“Didn’t it say that some carbonized pills were unearthed from the Persian-style silverware? In fact, some five-color medicinal stones were unearthed in the tomb of the Nanyue King.
And when it was unearthed, it was also accompanied by tools for pounding medicine. "
Another picture appeared behind Ye Zhen.
"These five-color medicine stones and medicine-pounding tools are used in conjunction with this dew cup.
It is the same method as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who used jade chips mixed with fairy dew to take it.
In Taoism, these five colors are green, yellow, red, white, and black, which are also the correct colors.
Theoretically, the five colors can produce all colors according to different proportions.
In the Hetu Luoshu, these five colors represent wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.
It also represents the five directions, east, west, south, north, and center.
In Chinese medicine, this represents the five internal organs, liver, heart, spleen, lungs and kidneys.
In Confucianism, these are the five constant principles, benevolence, etiquette, trust, righteousness, and wisdom.
If in mythology, this is the colorful stone used by Nuwa to mend the sky. "
After hearing Ye Zhen's introduction, they realized that this simple five-color medicinal stone had such a huge origin?
Some archaeologists who had excavated the tomb of the Nanyue King knew about it for the first time.
"So this cup and this medicine stone are the same set?"
"Does this five-color medicine stone actually have so many meanings?"
"Nuwa's stone to mend the sky? If you eat it, you will become an immortal!"
But some viewers thought of it.
The tomb of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was robbed shortly after his burial.
And it has been stolen five times in history, so it has long been empty.
It turned out that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, those tomb robbers moved for ten days and ten nights.
None of the treasures inside were emptied, only half of them were moved.
One can imagine how many good things were in the tomb of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
This also led to the failure of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to unify the corpse of the immortal.
Why did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believe so much in the elixirs refined by those alchemists? We all now know about these so-called elixirs that can lead to immortality.
In fact, they are all highly poisonous things, made from things like cinnabar and mercury.
But here's the coincidence: these pills containing lead and mercury have a sedative effect and affect the central nervous system of the human body.
It can paralyze people and produce significant sedative, sedative and asthma-relieving effects, making people feel refreshed and refreshed.
This was the unexpected effect of the pill at the beginning.
Why was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty so superstitious and obsessed with it?
Because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was addicted to drugs! A little bit of this dose is enough at the beginning, but later you need to increase the dose if you want to achieve the same level.
It’s a ghost if you can live in good health.
Some people say that this five-color medicine stone is the prototype of Five Stone Powder.
Later, those people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty started to like Wushi San from here.
These five-color medicinal stones were also analyzed after being excavated from the tomb of the King of Nanyue.
Amethyst is silicon dioxide containing manganese, which is non-toxic and has no medicinal properties.
Sulfur is elemental sulfur, which can cure wind and cold and has certain toxicity.
Realgar is arsenic disulfide, which has certain effects on poisonous insects and malaria.
Ocher is ferric oxide, which has weak medicinal properties and is non-toxic.
Turquoise is a copper-aluminate mineral with weak medicinal properties and non-toxicity.
This is the five-color medicine stone.
"Do you still remember why Zhao Wei's jade clothes don't have metal threads?" Ye Zhen mentioned what he said at the beginning.
The jade garment was originally intended to make the physical body immortal.
"Everyone, imagine if Jade Clothes can really resurrect you and become a zombie immortal."
"A gold-lined jade garment that completely wraps you inside is like a sealed coffin."
"If you survive inside, how are you going to get out?"
Ye Zhen mentioned a very tricky angle.
The audience was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, if the ancients really believed that this jade garment can make one's body incorruptible and live a new life."
"There should be some kind of passage out."
"But this golden jade garment is obviously impossible to do."
"If you really came back to life inside, it would be too scary and depressing. It would be worse than death."
"So the ancients didn't believe it either."
Come to think of it, just think about it.
You were wrapped in golden jade clothes, and then you came back to life because of the Corpse Executioner.
Then you are still trapped in this golden jade garment, and you can't move at all.
There is no way to move around!
Ye Zhen smiled mysteriously at this time, "Do you still remember the second burial?"
Second burial? This Baiyue custom of secondary burial? After hearing Ye Zhen's words, everyone suddenly felt an indescribable feeling.
"Why is there no skeleton in Zhao Mei's jade garment, and there is not even a metal thread."
"Is this because the King of Nanyue is not qualified enough? Doesn't he have enough money?"
"Obviously not. The South Vietnamese country was independent back then."
"Zhao Wei knows how to use the jade clothes with gold threads. This is in line with his throne."
"Even if he surrendered to the Han Dynasty again, he would still be a prince and king, and he could also use gold threads and jade clothes."
"But why are the jade clothes in Zhao Mei's tomb scattered all over the floor?"
"And why are Zhao Wei's bones not in this jade garment?"
Ye Zhen's voice connected everything together.
Everything I mentioned just now shows you a scene.
Zhao Mei's mausoleum is buried deep enough because it is buried under Xianggang Mountain.
All that no one has ever discovered.
But there is a custom of secondary burial in Baiyue.
Zhao Wei's tomb was probably opened by later generations.
