Chapter 6: The Gods
Afternoon Stargazing Terrace
Xu Fu was already standing on the hundred-foot tall stargazing platform, which was the tallest building in the Xianyang Palace, and even ordinary people outside the Xianyang Palace could still see this building through the tall city walls.
The sky is clear, cloudless, and the scorching sun hangs high in the sky, making it a quiet and peaceful afternoon, which is very suitable for a nap.
And at this moment, almost all the eyes in the Xianyang Palace converged on the thin and young figure on the stargazing platform.
The figure folded his palms in front of his chest, his eyes closed, and the time was gradually passing, the sun was dappled, and the shadows of the observatory were also deflected.
At noon, the stargazing platform led thunder, and all the people in Xianyang Palace already knew about this news, so at this moment, time gradually passed, and the doubts that were originally unbelieving were gradually getting bigger and bigger.
"An hour has passed, and it seems that this Xu Fu can't trigger the divine thunder!" One of the ministers of Li Siwei's army smiled, his face smug.
"What Master Zhang said is that this Xu Fu is a liar at all, relying on some enlightenment and abduction tricks to deceive everyone, and there is no divine power that can communicate with God at all!"
"What the two of you said is that time has passed for so long, Xu Fu is still insisting, if it doesn't work, hurry down, I'm afraid he must be extremely anxious now, for fear that once he comes down, His Majesty and Lord Li will hold him responsible, so now he may be thinking about retreating!"
"Huh!" Li Si also sneered twice, looking at the figure on the stargazing platform.
Everything was expected by him, this Xu Fu is an ordinary person, and he thought that he could really lead the divine thunder, which was just a joke.
"What should I do, looking at this situation, it seems that Lord Xu can't lead the divine thunder!" And several adults in the team with Xu Fu, seeing that this hour had passed, the sky was clear, and no special vision had occurred, they were already extremely worried in their hearts, I am afraid that what Li Si and the others said was true, Xu Fu was not as strange as rumored, all of this was just his own disguise and deception.
They don't care if Xu Fu has divine power or not, what they care about is that once Xu Fu is obstructed by Li Si, the fate of the few of them will not be very good.
"Hey, it seems that it has become a fact, defeat is defeat, and there is no way now, or we can bow to Li Si, so that we may be able to escape!"
Several adults discussed in a low voice, and the burning color on their faces became more and more intense.
And Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng was also staring at the stargazing platform very seriously at the moment, as well as Xu Fu, who was as immobile as a mountain on the stargazing platform.
At this moment, an hour has passed, and his neck is already a little sore, but looking at the situation, nothing has happened.
Could it be true that this Xu Fu has no divine power, and has been deceiving himself for so many years.
"Zhao Gao, what's going on, why hasn't Xu Fu made any movement yet!" Ying Zheng couldn't help but get a little irritable.
Zhao lowered his head and glanced at Xu Fu at the stargazing platform, also frowning, but still said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, maybe you have to wait, after all, Lord Xu wants to communicate with the heavens, it is estimated that it will take some time." ”
"Forget it, in that case, the widow is waiting for a while!" Qin Shi Huang waved his hand impatiently.
Mo Ting stood on the stargazing platform, he was also nervous at the moment, sweating profusely, yesterday he had already followed the instructions of the young master, everything that should be arranged had been arranged, but looking at the situation, it seemed that it was not right with the young master's expectations, this has been an hour later, many adults and guards have lost confidence in the young master, and even the first emperor of the Great Qin Empire, Yingzheng, is already a little impatient.
Xu Fu stood on the high platform, his hands folded, and a lot of fine sweat had already seeped into his thick official uniform and on his forehead.
He frowned, sure enough, it was still a little different from what he thought, after all, he didn't have a special tool, so he couldn't measure the exact time, and could only rely on the wind direction and the stars to infer the approximate time.
Time passed bit by bit, and for another hour, many ministers and Ying Zheng couldn't wait, and Xu Fu hadn't led the divine thunder down.
"Lord Xu, it's better to come down early, everyone is colleagues, even if there is a gambling agreement between us, but as long as Lord Xu and I apologize and give up going to sea, I can not blame other things." Li Si shouted at Xu Fu.
"That's what I'm saying, Lord Xu, you might as well listen to Lord Li!" Another minister chimed in.
"Hehe, that's true!" The other adults looked like they were watching a show, with teasing smiles on their faces.
Bang!
And at this moment, in this scorching sun and clear weather, suddenly, a huge crashing sound like a mountain collapsing rolled from the clouds in the sky, resounding throughout the entire Xianyang Palace.
The mocking smiles of the adults were startled by the sudden thunder, and the smiles froze on their faces.
Then they looked at each other, looking at each other.
"What was the voice?" An adult frowned, somewhat incredulous.
"Did I hear me wrong, it seems that there was thunder in the sky just now?" An adult was puzzled, but there was also some disbelief in his eyes, especially above the sky, the sun was still hanging high.
"Did you hear that?" Li Si frowned and asked a minister beside him.
"My lord, I think I heard thunder!"
"Thunder, how is that possible?"
Thundered!
Thundered!
Thundered!
Before Li Si's words fell, there was a huge thunder and lightning sound comparable to a sound in the sky clouds, and then lightning appeared in the sunny weather, and the lightning like a thunder snake crackled and flashed in the sky above Xianyang Palace.
Immediately afterwards, the clouds changed dramatically, the originally clear blue sky quickly faded, and then the thick and rich dark clouds quickly occupied the sky as if covering the sky and the sun, and even the sun was completely hidden in the clouds.
The light of the entire Xianyang City immediately dimmed.
Heavy clouds tumbled from the clouds, changing like a thick fog, and thunder and lightning surged through the clouds like a chain of gods.
A low roar between heaven and earth spread out in all directions, resounding between heaven and earth.
Crackling!
Crackling!
Electric snake-like lightning continued to shine and sound from the depths of the clouds, bringing a dazzling lilac light.
The atmosphere was suppressed by the dark clouds as black as ink, followed by the sound of lightning, and a torrential rain poured out of the clouds from the depths without warning, towards the earth.
The rain poured down, like a waterfall, completely covering the world.
The ministers and soldiers all opened their mouths in astonishment, their faces in disbelief.
"Lord Xu, you really have divine power, and you have led the divine thunder down!" A soldier's face was full of shock, and his eyes were full of admiration.
"Sure enough, it's a god thunder, Lord Xu is really a god!" The other soldiers chimed in.
"This ...... How can it be! Li Si muttered to himself, a little bitter, more incredulous, or didn't want to believe it, this Xu Fu actually led the divine thunder down.
"Hey, could it be that this Xu Fu really has divine power and can convey the will of the immortals!" One minister couldn't believe it either.
Another minister saw the bitter look of Li Si and the adult beside him, and immediately said: "Lord Li Si, it's too hasty to think like this at the moment, maybe this divine thunder was led down by Xu Fu, but the bet between you and Lord Xu is to lead down the divine thunder, and let the divine thunder surround the body unharmed, this Xu Fu just let the divine thunder appear, not to mention whether he can let the divine thunder fall to himself and not die, just this divine thunder falling from the sky may not be able to do it." ”
Hearing this, Li Si and several ministers immediately lit up their eyes, and what they said was that they were thinking like this now, it was too hasty, or this storm just came as scheduled, and it happened to be touched by Xu Fu's guy, maybe today was the day of rain, and this kind of weather did not happen before.
After being reminded by the minister, Li Si and the others once again gained enough confidence and stared at Xu Fu on the stargazing platform in the storm.
"Lord Xu has succeeded haha, it's really gratifying!"
"There is really a divine thunder appearing, sure enough, Lord Xu didn't lie to us, what he said will definitely be done!" The two ministers who were with Xu Fu were immediately overjoyed when they saw this situation.
"Don't be too happy, have you forgotten the details of the bet between Lord Xu and Lord Li?" Another minister frowned, like a basin of cold water poured on their heads.
The two adults suddenly smiled and looked at each other, not only were they a little excited when they saw the appearance of the divine thunder, indeed, the bet between Xu Fu and Li Si was not as simple as the appearance of the divine thunder.
Ying Zheng was also overjoyed when he saw the appearance of Shenlei, and continued to wait and see.
Boom Boom!
Then, one after another, the thunder and lightning became more and more dense, as if something was pulling them.
In the thick clouds, a rather dense group of thunder and lightning shuttled and flashed among the clouds like electric dragons.
The lightning flashing in the sky seemed to have reached a certain level, and immediately after, one of the huge chains-like thunder and lightning suddenly came out of the clouds and came towards Xianyang Palace.
The ministers and the soldiers around them, as well as Ying Zheng, suddenly looked panicked, and almost subconsciously took a step back in fear.
Bang!
However, the chain-like divine thunder fell from the sky and directly slashed into the eaves of the pavilion on the stargazing platform.
In the eyes of everyone, Xu Fu was in the pavilion of the stargazing platform, the closest to the thunder and lightning, and the shocking effect was really shocking.
And the divine chain split on the eaves of the pavilion, but it was quite strange that it did not dissipate, and the pavilion did not damage in the slightest.
The chain hung above the eaves of the pavilion, circling around.
Boom Boom!
Immediately, the divine chain descended again, slashing on the stargazing platform, and the thunder and lightning that were extremely terrifying, as if crowded together, suddenly fell from the eaves of the pavilion, turned into a thicker thunderbolt, and headed towards Xu Fu in the center of the pavilion.
Many soldiers and ministers were amazed, and some watched in astonishment.
And the divine chain with the thickness of a bucket fell on Xu Fu's body, and it didn't hurt Xu Fu in the slightest, but like a winding electric snake, hovering around Xu Fu's body.
The thunder and lightning continued to flicker in the sky, and there was a rumbling sound, and the sky and the earth were vast, the dark clouds were thick and dark, and the rain was pouring down.
And Xu Fu in the pavilion is like a god, his body is straight, steady as Mount Tai, not moving, his hands are folded in front of his chest, his face is pious, and the thunder and lightning around him are flashing, like a god descending to earth.
His face was not sad or happy, his face was calm, but under the light of thunder and lightning, his delicate and handsome face looked a little sad.
