Chapter 12 Going to Sea
On the morning of the 30th day of the silkworm month in the 29th year of the first emperor, the coastal pier.
The morning sun is high, like gold dust, spread in the rippling sea next to the coast, as if crossing a layer of golden light.
The magnificent sea is endless, stretching to the end of the line of sight, and the sea and the sky meet, on the coast, thirty tall and magnificent, exquisitely shaped buildings and ships are neatly arranged on the edge of the coast, each building boat, are covered with rows of building boats, the body is straight and upright.
On the board, five hundred children of different ages with immature faces and eyes full of infinite longing, stood on the board, or leaned on the railing, looking at the sea in the distance, with surprise or excitement or sadness in their eyes.
On the shore, the Great Qin Ironclad Army, which occupied almost the entire wharf, was imposing, and the black pressure formed an impermeable wall.
At the dock in front of him, near the sea, Qin Shi Huang sat on top of Luan, leading all the officials and guards in the entire Xianyang City to stand here, ready to see off Xu Fu.
Xu Fu took Mo Ting and some guards behind him, slightly bowed his body, and respectfully obeyed King Qin's instructions.
Thirty building ships, five thousand building boats, this trip is not ordinarily spectacular, and when I think that this is the biggest action for the elixir of life, especially looking at this magnificent sea, even Qin Shi Huang, who is in a warm state of mind, is full of pride in his heart at this moment, and when he thinks of this kind of battle, and Xu Fu is absolutely sure that he can retrieve the elixir from overseas, Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing in his heart.
Longevity is expected.
"Aiqing, this time the journey to sea is hard and difficult, you have to be more careful, find the elixir of life for the widow as soon as possible, and return as soon as possible, the widow will definitely be rewarded heavily."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, after Wei Chen finds the elixir of life, he will definitely rush back as soon as possible, and he will not delay for a moment." Xu Fu said respectfully.
"Aiqing, this time I went to sea, how long do you estimate it will take to come back, and at that time, the widow will be able to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Aiqing!" Ying Zheng asked.
Xu Fu groaned, and then said: "This time to go to sea, the road is far away, and the fairy mountain is also difficult to find, I estimate that it will take more than three years!" ”
"Three years, so long?" Qin Shi Huang frowned, three years was too long, and he couldn't wait.
"Maybe it won't take three years, it's just Wechen's speculation, Wechen must rush back as soon as possible!" Xu Fu said.
"Okay, that's good, in that case, Aiqing will come back as soon as possible!" Qin Shi Huang smiled.
"Yes!"
Li Si and the others stood on both sides but didn't say anything, this Xu Fu going to sea was a foregone conclusion, and they couldn't change anything if they wanted to.
"Hehe, three years!" Li Si sneered in his heart, he didn't expect Xu Fu to go out for so long, but there were too many things that could be changed in three years.
In the past three years, there is no Xu Fu in Xianyang City, so he has to plan carefully.
He immediately frowned, thinking of the person next to Wei Zhuang at the beginning, Chi Lian, who had not caught this woman until now.
I really don't know where I ran away, if Wei Zhuang's death was known by the Guigu faction, I am afraid that I would also be in trouble, and this Xu Fu is good, he escaped a catastrophe when he went to sea.
After bidding farewell to the First Emperor, Xu Fu led the Moting entourage and others to board the ship, and the sails were unfurled and set sail!
Thirty huge buildings like exquisite restaurants gradually moved away from the dock and disappeared into shadows in the sea.
Ying Zheng sighed, and there seemed to be some kind of longing left in his heart that was shattered with the departure of Lou Chuan.
He always felt that something was moving away from him.
"Xu Fu, don't let the widow down, the widow will be waiting for you here in three years!"
"Drive back to the palace!"
……
The sea is blue and magnificent, rippling blue waves, endless, the blue water is like a ripple in the sky, and the thirty buildings are like pebbles in the sea, sailing in the sea.
The sea breeze was blowing, and Xu Fu stood on the third deck of the building ship, smiling for the first time.
The wharf is gradually going away, Qin Shi Huang and many ironclad soldiers are gradually moving away, Xianyang is gradually going away, the Great Qin Wang Chao is gradually going away, and the mortal world is gradually going away.
Ten years of sharpening a sword, only for today.
After five years of planning and five years of savings, I finally have to go to sea to Xianshan.
At this moment, Rao is Xu Fu has a mature mind that does not match his current age, and he can't help but be a little excited, and the hands behind his back can't help but clench.
Xianmen, I'm coming!
Mo Ting stood aside, looking at Xu Fu, who rarely showed such a side, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, this young master, who was much younger than himself, had always been quite mature and calm, and his wisdom was like a demon.
Today, this kind of performance is very rare.
"Young master, are you okay, Moting has never seen you like this!"
"It's fine!" Xu Fu waved his hand, suppressing the fluctuating state of mind in his heart that changed as he gradually approached the immortal gate.
"Now that I am far away from the Qin Dynasty, I have chosen to tell you some things!" Xu Fu smiled and turned to look at Mo Ting.
Mo Ting was slightly surprised: "Young master, please say, what's the matter!" ”
"Mo Ting, do you believe it, there are immortals in this world!" Xu Fu said slowly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"You said Immortal Master?"
"Naturally!"
"This, Mo Ting doesn't know that there are immortals in this world, but some of the strange things that the young master usually shows are like immortals in Mo Ting's eyes!"
"Huh!" Xu Fu smiled: "Now what I want to tell you is that although I don't know if there are real immortals in this world, there is such a group of people, they pursue strong strength, they can make their bodies strong, and they have overwhelming powers, and they are immortal cultivators, a group of people who pursue immortality!" ”
"Is there really one?" Mo Ting was shocked: "Then young master, are you?" ”
Xu Fu's performance has always been miraculous enough, and he can also promote himself to such a high level of cultivation in a short period of time.
"Me!" Xu Fu shook his head: "I'm not, but someone is!" ”
"Who!"
"Lu Chen!"
"The guy who was locked up for five years?"
"Yes!"
Xu Fu explained: "He was met by me five years ago, and he wanted to kill me at that time, but he fought with another immortal cultivator, was seriously injured, was taken down by me, and has been locked in our dungeon. ”
"Doesn't that mean that young master, when we go to sea this time, we can really find the elixir of life for King Qin!" Mo Ting also showed a smile.
"Elixir of life, hehe!" Xu Fu smiled: "How can there be such a thing in the world!" ”
He had already learned from Lu Chen's mouth that the elixir of life did not exist at all, and the way to cultivate immortals was actually to cultivate immortals against the sky, fighting for life with the sky, every step of cultivation was accompanied by many hardships and dangers, there was no such thing as a handful, if you want to live forever, you must practice step by step, improve your cultivation, so as to make your body strong, so that you can increase your lifespan and reach the realm of immortality.
"Moreover, we didn't go to sea this time to find any elixir for Yingzheng!" Xu Fudao.
"What, young master, what do you mean!" Mo Ting frowned, and at the same time shook a little.
In this way, isn't his young master deceiving King Qin, this is a crime of killing his head, and he will be convicted.
"Moting, since there is a sect of cultivating immortals, why do we have to go back, don't you want to live forever, don't you want to become an immortal, you know that if you can practice, who else can help us in this secular world!" Xu Fu said.
"But young master!" Mo Ting was a little hesitant, he had never thought about this, the laws of Great Qin had always been ingrained in his mind, and he had never thought about cultivating immortals or becoming immortals.
"Okay, you can think about this matter slowly, anyway, it will take a while to reach the Immortal Gate!" Xu Fu smiled and turned back to the room.
And above the deck, five hundred children, after the sadness and some excitement after leaving the Great Qin Dynasty at the beginning, all that was left was amazement.
Some of them had never seen the sea, let alone sailed in the sea, not even a ship.
The boundless sea, the blue waters, all this was full of wonder and filled their eyes and hearts.
But after a month, the wonder had vanished, and with it came the endless dull navigation of the sea, and the cramped, immovable deck.
Some children even began to get seasick and had many problems.
But fortunately, Xu Fu prepared all the things he had prepared, the supplies on the ship were complete, and even the doctor had brought a few, which was not a problem.
The voyage takes a long time, Xu Fu knew that he had learned from Lu Chen's mouth that the distance was that immortal cultivators could walk in the air, so the time was very short, and he calculated that if he sailed by boat, it would take about a year, so he asked King Qin for three years' supplies, just in case.
Lu Chen didn't bring it, and now he is still locked up in Xu Fu's dungeon.
He had thought about killing Lu Chen, but Lu Chen said that every cultivator had a so-called soul card in the sect, and once the death could be known by the sect, he himself dispelled this idea.
Fortunately, Lu Chen's cultivation realm had reached the point where he could cut the valley without eating, so Xu Fu locked him under the dungeon.
The ship sails aimlessly in the sea, from day to night, and so on.
And Xu Fu himself reads in the room every day, implements the work and rest plan very regularly, and falls asleep at night.
In the middle of the night, Xu Fu's room was already pitch black, and the surroundings were invisible, and at this time, a slight sound sounded in the room like the sound of twisting hands and feet.
Xu Fu immediately opened his eyes, he had been sleeping very lightly, this was a habit he had cultivated since he came to the Great Qin Dynasty, as long as there was the slightest wind and grass, he could wake up at the first time.
The sound of footsteps was very shallow, and it was already trying to be as low as possible, but at night when it was calm on this sea, Xu Fu could still hear it very clearly.
But who the hell dared to enter his room on the big night, and seemed to have bad intentions.
Could it be that these people brought by himself were mixed in with Li Si and others to assassinate him.
He didn't move, he was still pretending to be asleep, he wouldn't have anything to do, because Mo Ting was also there, and Mo Ting should be there at this moment.
The figure had already come to Xu Fu's side, but he didn't do it immediately, and just when Xu Fu couldn't help but open his eyes, the figure actually tiptoed away again.
When the figure disappeared, the lights in the room turned on, and it was Mo Ting who came out and lit the candle.
Xu Fu opened his eyes: "Did you see who it was just now?" ”
"Young master, it's the woman next to Wei Zhuang!" Moting replied.
"Oh!" Xu Fu raised his eyebrows, and the figure with fiery red, fair skin, and weak and boneless appeared in his mind again.
"When did he get in!" Xu Fu frowned, but then laughed again: "It seems that this woman really wants to avenge Wei Zhuang!" ”
"Then young master, do you want me to arrest him!" Mo Tingchi asked.
"No!" Xu Fu waved his hand, and his eyes lit up: "Such a boring voyage has become a little interesting now." ”。
