General Qin

"This Martial Arts Marquis has great malice towards us!"

In a residence in Linzi City.

The three alchemists gathered here to discuss what happened today.

Listening to Han Zhong's gloomy voice.

A long-faced alchemist in his thirties said doubtfully: "The auspicious unicorn reflects the emperor's enshrining of Zen. It is of great benefit to the emperor and can show his virtue as a holy king. This matter is not only for the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, but also for him The Marquis of Martial Arts must also be clear about why he wants to study the Qilin auspiciousness proposed by us, which is a bit unreasonable?"

The person who spoke was called Shi Sheng, who was Lu Sheng's disciple.

When Lu Sheng and others went to Xianyang to persuade the king, Shi Sheng stayed in Qilu and ran the headquarters of the alchemists. With his eloquent skills, he became the guest of honor of the governor of Linzi.

The auspicious signs in the counties of Linzi County and the Qilin omen in Linzi City are all his masterpieces.

Lu Sheng, who had always been calm, laughed.

"There is nothing unreasonable. Marquis Marquis hates us alchemists. Naturally, he wants to destroy our auspiciousness to please the emperor."

Han Zhong frowned and said, "Marquis Wugong remembers hating us? But when we were in Xianyang, we never had any contact with him. Since we didn't even have any contact, how can we say anything about grudges?"

Lu Sheng stroked the white beard under his chin, and sighed: "It is because of Hou Si's relationship. The few strange medicines that Hou Si presented to the emperor caused the Martial Arts Marquis to fall ill, and he was unable to get out of his couch. He is a warrior in the battlefield. Naturally, there will be resentment in my heart. Although Hou Si and those people who made medicine were murdered by the emperor, this Martial Arts Marquis probably couldn't swallow that breath in his heart, so he turned his hatred to us."

Han Zhong said angrily: "So it was all Hou Si's fault!"

Shi Sheng had already heard about the killing of alchemists in the Xianyang pit, and he said angrily, "This Martial Arts Marquis is also very unreasonable. The one who harmed him by making medicine is Hou Si. What does it have to do with our alchemists who are looking for immortals? He wants to do this." Bear grudges against us. We have no grievances or enmities with him, but such a bad thing is really abhorrent."

Lu Sheng smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter. Didn't you see that the emperor stopped him from investigating the Qilin matter today? In this Qin country, the emperor has the final say on everything. As long as we can always catch the emperor Even if he is the Marquis of Lun, it is still useless."

"What Lu Gong said is that we only need to grasp the emperor's heart."

Han Zhong and Shi Sheng nodded in agreement, a smile gradually blooming on their faces.

But in the afternoon, apart from issuing an edict announcing the birth of the unicorn, and asking Li Si to write an imperial article to show his virtue as a sage king, the emperor did not reward Linzi city sheriff and the local people at all.

This is completely unreasonable!

You must know that the first few counties that offered auspiciousness were either exempted from corvee labor for a year by the emperor, or rewarded with cattle, wine and cloth, and even the county magistrates were rewarded.

In short, as long as you offer auspiciousness, the emperor will give you a reward to show the celebration.

This is also the reason why the governor of Linzi County is willing to listen to Shi Sheng's words and bring the whole county together to make auspicious omens. Not only can flattery win the emperor's favor, but there are also practical benefits.

As a result, all the small fights in the past have benefited, but when it comes to the big move of "Kirin Comes to the World" in Linzi City, there is nothing?

This unusual event itself showed the emperor's attitude.

In the evening, a gossip spread out.

Auspiciousness stops at the unicorn.

It is said that this is the emperor's words, as to whether it is true or not, everyone needs to consider for themselves.

Han finally said regretfully and angrily: "It must be the Marquis of Wugong! The emperor let him stay alone before, and I am afraid that Marquis of Wugong took this opportunity to persuade the emperor. This person really should not be underestimated. Lu Gong, this auspicious man thing, it can’t be done.”

Lu Sheng said "hmm": "It's good that the auspicious things go to the end, it's just embellishment. The previous things have made the emperor happy, and that's enough. What we really want to do is take the emperor to the seaside. As long as he sees When you see the endless, misty sea, you will be deeply shocked, and you will have the desire to seek immortality and medicine. By the way, how is the contact with Xu City?"

Shi Sheng said: "Xu Shi has come from Langya and is already waiting in Jiaodong. When the emperor arrives, he can show the emperor the beauty of the sea."

"Very well, with Xu Shi here, the possibility of success in this matter is much greater. However, the matter of going out to sea to find immortals is of great importance and cannot be lost. The Marquis of Martial Arts is quite hostile to us, and he may have a heart to hinder us. I should go to make friends with him, and by the way use the theory of Xianshan to find out the meaning of this prince, if I can convince him, it will be the best."

Lu Sheng whispered.

Let the first emperor subsidize them to go to sea to search for immortals. This is the most desired thing for the alchemists of the Xunxian sect. He absolutely does not want this matter to be ruined because of the involvement of Marquis Marquis.

...

the second day.

After accompanying Qin Shihuang to visit the palace and historic sites in Linzi City, when the emperor's work addiction broke out, he dismissed his officials, and ran to the house to review documents by himself.

Marquis Marquis Zhao Tuo came to Linzi City to blow air on his own.

On the towering Linzi city wall, Zhao Tuo stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the scene inside the city.

In the past, Su Qin once said: Linzi is very rich and real, and all its people play the Yugu, the zither, the qin and the building, fight cock and run the dog, and play the six games of Cuju. On the road to Linzi, the hubs of the carts hit each other, shoulders rubbed against each other, curtains were formed, curtains were raised, and sweat was poured into rain.

But when Zhao Tuo led the army to attack Qi and surrounded Linzi, he did not see the prosperity that Su Qin said. He only saw the people of Qi trembling under the might of the Qin army, and King Jian of Qi knelt down and kowtowed for forgiveness. look like.

This time following Qin Shihuang's east tour, passing through Linzi, he finally felt the taste that Su Qin said.

On the broad Linzi Street, there are citizens walking around, some people shake their heads, some people raise their hands and hit the building, which is full of cheerful atmosphere.

It is said that before the arrival of Qin Shihuang, there were even cockfighters on the street, and people from Qi often gathered outside the city to play Cuju and other games.

However, because of the emperor's east tour, these entertainment activities were urgently stopped by the county guard some time ago.

No matter how it is at ordinary times, when the emperor comes to inspect, he must show his best posture to greet him.

Even so, the current Linzi is still a very dynamic city that Zhao Tuo has seen, and its condition is far better than that of Guanzhong Qin under the high-handed rule of Qin Fa.

"Qin Fa..."

Zhao Tuo stood in the wind and sighed softly.

There were footsteps coming from behind, it was his entourage.

"Your Majesty, there is an alchemist Lu Sheng asking to see you."

"oh?"

After Zhao Tuo was slightly surprised, he thought about it.

He still asked his followers to invite Lu Sheng over.

"My humble Lu Ao, I have met the Lord."

When Lu Sheng came up, he smiled and saluted Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo nodded slightly and said, "Don't be too polite, Mr. Lu. I don't know why you came to see me."

Lu Sheng's eyelids twitched, he didn't expect Marquis Wu Gong to be so blunt and rude to each other.

He had planned to take advantage of the opportunity of being polite to get close to Zhao Tuo, but his preparations were in vain.

Lu Sheng said: "It's not a big deal, but I just heard that Junhou is a famous general in the world. He fought south and north, and he has a lot of knowledge. I hope to get close to him."

get close to me?

Zhao Tuo took a look at Lu Sheng, an elderly man with white hair and beard, and his face was filled with disgust.

Just like you want to get close to me, it's almost the same as a white-haired beautiful girl.

Zhao Tuo gave a casual "hmm" and stopped talking. He still stood with his hands behind his back and only looked at the scene in the city.

Lu Sheng secretly scolded Zhu Zi for being so rude, and really wanted to shake his sleeves and leave.

However, thinking of the purpose of his trip, Lu Sheng held back, and said with a smile, "I wonder if you have ever heard of overseas fairy mountains?"

"Overseas Fairy Mountain?"

Zhao Tuo turned his head and stared at Lu Sheng.

"You want to talk about Penglai, the abbot, and Yingzhou?"

Lu Sheng was overjoyed, he didn't expect Zhao Tuo to know the legend of overseas fairy mountains at such a young age.

Now that I have known about it, it seems that I am interested in it.

He only needs to brag and describe, and shock Zhao Tuo with the immortals from the three sacred mountains and the elixir.

As long as Lu Sheng restrained Zhao Tuo first, the alchemists would naturally not be blocked by the other party when they proposed to the emperor at the beach in the future, and they could even pull him into their camp.

Although Lu Sheng made a good plan, but before he opened his mouth, he heard Zhao Tuo talking on his own.

"Daiyu, Yuanqiao, Fangzhang, Yingzhou, Penglai, it seems to be these five names?"

"The roots of the Five Immortal Mountains are unconnected, and they often go up and down with the tide. The immortals on the mountain were afraid that the fairy mountains would sink into the sea, so they asked the God of Heaven to help them, and asked the God of the North Sea to send fifteen big turtles to lift the five immortal mountains with their bodies. They are divided into three shifts and changed every 60,000 years. In this way, the five fairy mountains will stabilize and will no longer flow."

"It's a pity that the giants of the Longbo Kingdom caught six big turtles in a row. In this way, Daiyu and Yuanqiao Mountains lost their burdens, drifted to the North Pole, and finally sank in the sea. Only the three fairy mountains of Fangzhang, Yingzhou, and Penglai remained. live……"

Lu Sheng opened his mouth wide, and his eyes were full of horror.

Is this Martial Arts Marquis also an alchemist of the Xunxian Sect?

Lu Sheng had also heard about the theory that the Five Immortals Mountain became the Three Immortals Mountain, but the specific details were not as detailed as Zhao Tuo's, many of which he had never heard of.

Why does Zhao Tuo know more than himself?

After seeing Zhao Tuo finished speaking, he was looking at himself with a smile.

Lu Sheng said with a dry smile: "What Junhou said is very true. I don't think Junhou knows very well about the fairy mountain."

Zhao Tuo laughed loudly and said, "It's just something I heard about it. I'm sure it's not as well known as people like Lu Gong who are looking for immortals. Does Lu Gong know how many kinds of immortal realms there are on the three fairy mountains?"

"Immortal Realm?"

Lu Sheng blinked, a little confused.

Why are immortals divided into realms, aren't they all immortal?

Zhao Tuo laughed and said, "Mr. Lu, do you know what a human immortal is?

Listening to the titles of the immortal realm that popped out of Wu Gonghou's mouth, Lu Sheng felt his whole body tremble, and his mind went blank.

What is this martial artist talking about?

Why have I never heard of these realms of immortals?

Why does it sound so powerful.

Sweat trickled down Lu Sheng's forehead drop by drop.

This is a feeling he has never felt since his debut.

Even standing in front of Emperor Qin Shi, who is known as the lord of the world, he, Lu Sheng, could still be calm and talk about immortals.

But now, under Zhao Tuo's gaze that seems to be smiling but not smiling.

Lu Sheng could only swallow his saliva incessantly, with a flush of shame appearing on his face.

As an alchemist of the Immortal Seeking School, he seems to be not as professional as the martial arts marquis in front of him.
