Chapter 7: Burning books and entrapping Confucians is actually a lie? It is precisely because I have seen a real immortal.
That's why Xu Fu and other alchemists had the opportunity to defraud Qin Shihuang's money and go overseas to find fairy mountains.
But now we all know.
Where are there any such things as celestial beings and immortals overseas?
Not to mention the elixir of life.
Until the death of Qin Shihuang in the end, Xu Fu did not find the immortal.
So that's what's being circulated now.
At that time, Xu Fu took the three thousand boys and girls, as well as some craftsmen and tools.
He took root directly in Japan.
He became the ancestor who brought civilization to Japan.
After Ye Zhen finished explaining, everyone still looked unconvinced.
But these are all things recorded in ancient books.
It's just that no one has understood it.
"Then there is another famous historical event." Ye Zhen continued to expand.
"Everyone knows what it is. It's also taught in our history books."
"That's just burning books to enslave Confucianism."
"Many of us now say that Qin Shihuang killed some Confucian scholars and Confucian scriptures."
"What is the truth?"
"In fact, those who were trapped and killed back then were some alchemists and alchemists."
"Because even in Sima Qian's "Historical Records" I have never heard of the word "trading Confucianism."
"The actual record is 'burn the Book of Songs and trap the alchemists'."
"Why did Qin Shihuang want to kill these alchemists?"
"Because Qin Shihuang didn't get the elixir he wanted until the end."
"The so-called killing of chickens to scare monkeys is pretty much the same."
"Kill a group of alchemists and show them, if you don't get the elixir back."
"That's what happened."
"Of course Xu Fu was scared, so he didn't come back for fear of being tricked and killed."
"I just started wandering overseas."
Qin Shihuang was not a kind person. After all, he was the one who destroyed the Six Kingdoms.
Qin Shihuang was a famous tyrant in history.
It is not surprising at all to do something like this.
"After the Qin Dynasty, there was the Han Dynasty."
"Qin Shihuang's experience tells us that there are no immortals or fairy mountains overseas."
“But that doesn’t mean the elixir of life is fake?”
Ye Zhen's words made the audience dumbfounded.
Immortals are fake, fairy mountains are fake, is it possible that the elixir is real?
What does it mean? "During the Han Dynasty, the emperor at that time did not give up the desire to live forever."
"The alchemists of the Han Dynasty wanted to change the direction of their research."
"As I said before, these methods are the same as those of researchers doing scientific research now."
"If one road doesn't work, find another way."
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas, one of the three most wonderful books in ancient my country, is recorded in the Classic of Western Mountains."
"
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas - Xishan Jing" says: Mishan Mountain, "There are many red trees on it, with leaves and red stems, yellow flowers and red solids. Its taste is like glutinous rice, and you will not be hungry if you eat it. The red water comes out and flows westward. Jize. There is a lot of white jade in it, which contains jade paste. Its source is boiling soup, which Huangdi eats. It is raw black jade. The jade paste comes out to irrigate the redwood. When the redwood is five years old, the five colors are clear and the five flavors are clear. Naixin. The Yellow Emperor took the jade glory of Pishan Mountain and threw it into the sun of Zhongshan Mountain." "There are nine hills connected by water. They are named Taotang Hill, Youshu De Hill, Mengying Hill, Kun Ying Hill. My hill, the hill of black and white, the hill of red hope, the hill of guards, the hill of warriors, the hill of gods and people. There are trees, green leaves and purple stems, black flowers and yellow solids, a hundred feet without branches, nine trees, below. There are nine wolfberry trees, which are actually like hemp, and their leaves are like awns. The Great Hao Yuan passed by, and it was the work of the Yellow Emperor."
This section was found to be the key by the alchemists of the Han Dynasty.
We claim to be the descendants of Yan and Huang. The Yellow Emperor used jade and herbs as food.
In the end, he ascended. They thought that the Yellow Emperor also became an immortal.
Since we can’t find the elixir, can we create it ourselves? "
Ye Zhen's science popularization once again opened people's eyes.
Those alchemists also persevered.
However, in order to pursue the goal of human immortality, I don’t know how much effort has been spent. "So starting with the alchemists of the Han Dynasty, they started a business."
"That's right, it's alchemy. They want to refine the elixir of life."
Everyone knows that alchemy originated from our country.
And it already existed in ancient times.
But no one knows how it came about.
In fact, the ultimate goal of alchemy at the beginning is to refine the elixir of immortality.
"Who is the most famous person in the Han Dynasty? Besides the founding emperor Liu Bang."
"Let's talk about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."
"The elixir refined by the alchemists of the Han Dynasty needs to be tested by someone!"
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is the best candidate."
"The Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also wanted to pursue immortality, which coincided with those alchemists."
"But now we know that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally died from taking these pills."
"Those alchemists know how to use oxygen."
"To put it bluntly, alchemy is the prototype of modern chemistry."
"Chemistry, to put it bluntly, is an oxidation reaction and a reduction reaction."
"Everything stays the same."
"Those alchemists have mastered the use of oxygen and refined various jade powders and herbs together."
"Actually, it was the use of oxygen, but the alchemists at the time thought it was all Qi."
I didn't expect to come back to Oxygen again.
Ye Zhen said this long list.
The emperors back then wanted to pursue immortality.
Isn’t this the case with modern medicine? Those rich people don't know how much money they invest in biological research every year.
In order to be able to live longer.
There is even a wealthy man in a foreign country who has launched a plan to rejuvenate his youth.
I want my body functions to return to its youthful state.
Therefore, he hired many scientists to formulate plans and strictly implemented them himself.
All of this is to get a little longer.
Human beings are inevitably exposed to oxygen as soon as they are born.
And it is precisely because of oxygen that we have been slowly oxidized and corroded by oxygen.
From the time of birth, one begins to slowly move toward death.
"Is this how alchemy was born!?"
"It seems that only birth and death are fair to people."
"Why are some emperors so stupid? How can there be an elixir of life in the world?"
"Don't tell me, foreign scientist Hawking just said that Qin Shi Huang may still be alive!"
"Hahaha, you might as well say that Qin Shihuang faked his death back then and is still alive in the underground palace now."
"Maybe that's true! Qin Shihuang is still alive!"
Everyone started brainstorming while watching Ye Zhen's popular science.
Ye Zhen tapped the blackboard with one hand, "Our country has always been fond of jade."
"As early as the pre-Qin period, I was already very fond of jade."
"During the Han Dynasty, those alchemists were even more rampant."
"They believe that after grinding various kinds of beautiful jade into powder, they can refine the elixir of life."
"How could a normal person be fine after eating these things?"
"So when we look at some of the current immortality novels, the units are usually spiritual stones or something."
"The origin is here."
The alchemists of the Qin Dynasty wanted to find immortals and elixirs in order to stop the oxidation of the body and achieve immortality.
The alchemists of the Han Dynasty understood how to use oxygen and wanted to start refining the elixir of life themselves.
So the source of all this is for longevity.
