EBE Chapter 189 Dan Cheng
Chapter 189 Dan Cheng
Ying Zheng and Tang Yu in Xianyang City.
The two most noble people in the entire Qin state were now lying on the ground without any regard for their image.
Tang Yu was chewing on raisins while drinking water.
At the same time, he said to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I originally thought that the white snake was just a fabrication, or that it was just a small snake."
"After all, Your Majesty knows that I come from 2000 years in the future."
After Tang Yu finished speaking, Ying Zheng nodded.
Tang Yu continued his story: "In the world 2000 years later, I heard that Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, who is the Liu Bang I brought back, dreamed of slaying a giant white snake on his way to rebellion. So he was known as the snake slayer. And he succeeded in his rebellion, eventually overthrowing the Qin Dynasty and establishing the Han Dynasty."
Ying Zheng nodded repeatedly as he listened to Tang Yu's words.
In fact, after hearing about the achievements of the Han Dynasty, Ying Zheng did not have much personal opinion about Liu Bang.
After all, what they did was actually to complete what their Qin state had not yet finished.
He didn't even dare to think that if Xiang Yu, that brute, or even an idiot, were to seize the world, it would truly be a return to the feudal system.
The entire Qin Dynasty was reduced to a series of small states. What was Ying Zheng busy with for the rest of his life?
Was it really because Qin Shi Huang had so much free time?
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng not only did not dislike Liu Bang, but actually quite admired him.
The fact that the other side was able to continue some of its political ideas, such as standardizing writing, unifying cart axles, and establishing the prefecture-county system, is already a great achievement.
"This white snake is both a symbol of Liu Bang's successful uprising and a strange phenomenon born of heaven and earth."
"Similarly, in our original historical records, this white snake is also the embodiment of the Han Dynasty's fortune."
"Liu Bang defeated the white snake, which meant he obtained the fortune of the Han Dynasty, and thus Liu Bang successfully established the great Han Dynasty."
"However, because Liu Bang cut the white snake in two when he killed it, the break was completely broken, so the fortune of the Han Dynasty was also cut in two, splitting into the Eastern Han and the Western Han."
Ying Zheng could no longer sit still. He stared at Tang Yu with wide eyes, his tone filled with surprise.
"You mean the Han Dynasty's fortunes were also interrupted, and that it even transformed into the Eastern Han and Western Han dynasties?"
"In other words, there were accidents during the Han Dynasty that prevented it from continuing."
Tang Yu nodded, his tone also quite emotional.
"The giant white snake corpse that His Majesty brought back, it looked like a snake, but it had actually become something that resembled both a dragon and a giant python."
"And the severance of the Han Dynasty's fortune was indeed as Your Majesty predicted. During the continuation of the Han Dynasty, a young man named Wang Mang suddenly appeared."
"He established a new dynasty, which actually destroyed the original Han Dynasty, thus enabling the establishment of his new dynasty."
"What! Wang Mang?"
At this moment, Ying Zheng also began to believe in destiny and spiritual fate, because the young man's name was Wang Mang.
The character "莽" in Wang Mang's name is strikingly similar to the character "蟒" in python.
Liu Bang severed the Han Dynasty's fate with a single sword stroke, and Wang Mang similarly divided the Han Dynasty's fate in two.
It's just amazing that the Han Dynasty was able to continue.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask from the bottom of his heart, "But Grand Preceptor, how did the fortunes of the Han Dynasty continue?"
How it was continued... that would be a story of a cheater using cheat codes.
But that's not important anymore.
"Your Majesty, the important part of what I'm about to say is the first half."
"Since this white snake is so extraordinary, representing the fortune of the entire Han Dynasty, its severance would sever the fortune of the Han Dynasty. So do you think this white snake is an ordinary thing?"
Listening to Tang Yu's highly interactive response, Ying Zheng also promptly offered his own emotional support, shaking his head repeatedly.
"Of course not, Mr. Tang."
"Yes, that's right, Your Majesty. This thing is definitely not an ordinary one."
"His flesh and blood can be refined into elixirs and help us prolong our lives."
"It's just that nothing is added to it, it's pure of his flesh and blood."
"What appears to be us using the flesh and blood of this white snake to refine elixirs is actually us using the very destiny of the Han Dynasty, the very essence of the next great dynasty, to refine elixirs."
"That's why he was able to live a long life."
"A person can only take a maximum of three pills, and each pill can extend life by 5 years."
"Your Majesty, the fortune of an entire human dynasty can only help you extend your life by 15 years. You can imagine how difficult it is to prolong your life."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng sighed.
He knew that Tang Yu was saying this to remind him.
Give up those unrealistic fantasies and don't do those foolish things.
"Mr. Tang, I have learned a lot. I wonder when we shall begin alchemy?"
Tang Yu said to Ying Zheng, "Now!"
Then Tang Yu stood still and gestured, and suddenly a whole object appeared in the air, made of black alloy and inlaid with various precious jewels.
An alchemy furnace that was clearly no ordinary item appeared.
Yes, this is the fully automatic alchemy furnace that the system rewarded him with.
Then Ying Zheng had his soldiers bring the corpse of the giant white snake from last time, began to dismember it, and then threw it into this alchemy furnace.
As the giant white snake corpse was added, the opening of the alchemy furnace was continuously filled.
However, this small alchemy furnace actually contained nearly 1/30 of the white snake's body.
Then, with Tang Yu pressing a button, the fully automatic alchemy furnace began to operate on its own.
First it automatically ignited, and then it automatically refined pills.
Tang Yu was speechless; this guy was truly a cyber god.
This feeling is so exciting!
A moment later, the alchemy furnace stopped operating, just like a washing machine stopping its cycle.
After two beeping sounds, Tang Yu saw the order pickup slot open.
Looking at the steaming pill in front of him, Tang Yu carefully took it out and placed it on a wooden plate beside him.
Then they kept cutting flesh and blood and throwing it in.
Finally, the entire giant white snake was completely refined.
There were also 30 pills neatly arranged on the plate next to Tang Yu.
On the side was a white snake skin covered with huge white scales.
Although there's no meat to refine into pills, judging by the snake skin and scales, it's definitely a valuable treasure.
It would be perfect to make it into armor or something.
Tang Yu looked at the pills on the tray, picked one up, and said to His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, eat the five years of life extension you desire. I heard there's a mysterious reward for eating three!"
