Chapter 12 The Transformation of the World Chapter 6 Xu Fu
After sacrificing Mount Tai, the first emperor left the Lu realm, continued to tour the east, and came to Langya Mountain.
Langya Mountain is the eastern starting point of the Great Wall of Qi, facing the East China Sea, the scenery is beautiful, and the majestic and majestic Mount Tai is different.
The first emperor climbed the Langya platform on the top of the mountain, this platform was built when the Yue King Goujian migrated to Langya for 25 years, the mountains are stacked in the west, verdant and dripping, the east looks at the East China Sea, the waves are turbulent, and the waves are like snow. Standing on the top of the mountain this time, he was no longer alone, but had thousands of subordinates supporting and guarding him. As far as the eye can see, a piece of splendid robes, bright armor, and flags are released, forming another sea of choppy flags.
Facing the sea breeze with the smell of salt and humidity, he has the vigor of King's Landing, and also has the feeling of wanting to return with the wind.
He turned to Langya County Shou Qilu, who was standing aside, and said:
"Such a beautiful scenery, but under the poor eyes, there is no trace of people in sight, which is really a bit of a fly in the ointment."
"Originally, there were a few families at the foot of the mountain, but it was not suitable for farming and fishing, so they gradually moved to Yingcheng and Jimo." Qilu bowed down and replied: "But when the king of Yue and Jian, Langya was the capital of Yue, densely populated, and there were many households under Langya Mountain."
The First Emperor thought for a while and said, "The scenery of Langmi Mountain is beautiful, and the land is fertile, how can it be said that it is not suitable for home farming!?" It's just that human nature likes to be lively, so I moved to a place with a lot of people! But it's a pity that this place is not used. Qilu, I ordered to move 30,000 households here within a year, so that with the aura of this mountain, a prosperous city will be formed in the future!"
Qilu was taken aback when he heard this: Isn't this a big disturbance to the people! There was some hesitation for a moment. When the first emperor saw that Qilu should not, he suddenly felt angry and was about to attack.
Fusu's mind was dizzy, knowing that his father was so happy, and the problem of liking to do things with a lot of money had flares up again, and he hurriedly said: "Father, the beauty of Langya Mountain lies in the verdant scenery and nature, which and the original beauty can move people's hearts the most, but it is said to be a rare beauty in the world!" However, if a large number of people are relocated here, the people will have to live. It is inevitable to open up the mountains, destroy the grass and destroy the forest, and the Langya Pass may no longer exist, so it is a pity! The reason why the Yue people will leave Langya Mountain must be that they can't bear to destroy the beauty of the mountain! Therefore, the sons are willing to ask their fathers, so that the descendants of Dagong can continue to enjoy such beautiful scenery, and the relocation of the people should be natural! Not only that, but the father also ordered Lord Qi to vigorously protect the beautiful scenery of Langya, so that when the people of the father and king see such a beautiful scenery in a thousand years, they will definitely be grateful for their father's kindness!" Fusu was very smart, and knew that if he bluntly persuaded the First Emperor, he would definitely not allow it, but it would be much easier to turn a corner and put on a top hat!
The First Emperor was really stunned when he heard this, thought about it, and said with a smile: "What Wang Er said is quite reasonable!" Maybe too many people can ruin such a beautiful scenery, so let it be!" As he spoke, he glanced at Fusu meaningfully, how could he not see the little Jiujiu in Fusu's heart that the First Emperor was so smart, but he felt that Fusu was reasonable, and the surface soil was more glorious, so he got off the donkey down the slope!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Fusu also smiled respectfully: "Father Shengming!"
The First Emperor looked at the sea with a thoughtful expression, and after a while, the First Emperor suddenly said: "When I lived in Handan when I was young, I often heard rumors that there is an immortal island in the East China Sea, and there are immortal immortals living on it, I don't know if it is really true?"
Feng Zheng heard this and said: "Your Majesty, although the matter of this Immortal Island is widely spread in the vicinity of Langya, it is a pity that no one has ever really seen the Immortal Island. Your Majesty is the fortune of the Great Qin State, so you really shouldn't take this false matter too seriously!"
Qi Lu smiled when he heard this: "What Lord Feng said is that there is nothing in the world that comes from nothing, and there is always some basis for it!" Now there is a person in Langya County, surnamed Xu Mingfu, who said that he had been to Xiandao! Even a few days ago, he sent a letter to the minister, asking the minister to send a ship to send someone to him to find immortals again! But the minister thought that this matter was too absurd, so he did not agree!"
"Oh, there are such strange people! I'd like to see him? Qilu, pass on Xu Fu to see me tomorrow!" The First Emperor's eyes glowed eagerly!
Fusu was taken aback, and was secretly horrified in his heart: "Could it be that my father is still obsessed with cultivating immortals and attaining enlightenment as in the original history!" This is too bad, it will be taken advantage of by traitors, and my years of hard work will not be in vain!" Fusu's eyes couldn't help but show a trace of killing intent!
The first emperor summoned the warlock Xu Fu in the Langya Palace, and Fu Su, Feng Zai, and Qi Lu accompanied him.
Xu Fu looked to be about forty years old, with a strange face, fair complexion, five locks of long beard, fluttering chest, but also a fairy wind and bone style.
Xu Fu suddenly saw the First Emperor and made a routine salute, but his face was calm and calm, and he couldn't help but secretly surprise Fusu: "This famous liar in history can't imagine that his psychological quality is so good, but it's no wonder how ordinary people dare to deceive the First Emperor, I'm afraid that they will tremble with fear when they see the First Emperor!"
The First Emperor said to Xu Fu in a very good mood: "I heard from the county guard that Mr. has been to the East China Sea Immortal Island, and I wonder if I can tell what I have seen and heard to increase my knowledge!"
"This is the minister's honor!" Xu Fu said respectfully.
The First Emperor motioned to Xu Fu to sit down, and Xu Fu arched his hand again before sitting down.
Xu Fu stroked the five locks of beard under his forehead, and said a miraculous encounter, he could speak well, and his face was full of strangeness, and the first emperor couldn't help but be fascinated when he heard it. Xu Fu said: "On that island, the four seasons are like spring, the flowers and trees are always green, and the only thing that can tell the season is a high mountain in the middle of the island? In spring, the ice and snow begin to melt, and the mountains seep and the water trickle and flow; In summer, the crater at the top of the mountain will burst into flames, high and high, and the fire and smoke will cover the sky, which is very spectacular, and the stone slurry that emerges, after cooling, is the best fertilizer for cultivating and fields; In autumn, the northern birds come to the island to take refuge from the cold, and the island is full of all kinds of birds, some of which are particularly bright in color, and there are also those whose chirping is particularly delicate, and you can't enjoy it when you stand in front of the door of your residence; In winter, the temperature still hasn't changed much, but the mountain is starting to be covered with snow and ice, and the mountain streams are drying up, and people know that winter has arrived.
The inhabitants of the island are not much different from the Central Plains, but the men and women are handsome and beautiful, just pick the most ordinary man or woman, and when they arrive in the Central Plains, they will be the reincarnation of Mi Zifang and Xi Shi. Although they were also young and old, they reached a certain age, and they could return to the age of eighteen by marrying and drinking a spring called the 'Fountain of Youth' on that high mountain, so many grandfathers looked younger than their grandchildren. In order to control the number of people on the island, they have stopped having children for many years. So there are people everywhere who look like they are over eighteen. ”
The First Emperor listened and said leisurely, "In this way, I can also get this 'Fountain of Youth'." Wouldn't it be like an eighteen-year-old man forever to keep his youth forever! By the way, if you have any other anecdotes, sir, let's talk to me about it!"
"In fact, there is more than this fairy island in the East China Sea, according to the islanders, there are three places that have contacts with each other, one is called Penglai, the second is called the abbot, and the third is called Yingzhou, the three islands are thousands of miles apart, there are special clippers on the island without sails or oars, burning the oil made of a stone at the bottom of the cave on the island, and the huge wheels rotate under the water, pushing the boat forward, and it can go back and forth thousands of miles in a day." Xu Shi said that his mouth was foaming, and even he was a little fascinated.
"Ahh Wouldn't it be invincible in the world if this and the ship were used to form a prismatic fleet?" The three sentences of the first emperor are inseparable from the thoughts of the emperor.
"That and the clipper ship has a complex structure, and it is not easy to imitate, and that and oil is only available in three fairy islands, and it is not very useful to get the Zhongyuan." Xu Fu said with a little regret.
"I'm afraid that the people of Xiandao will use this kind of ship to invade China, and they will not be able to control it!" The First Emperor said with a sad face.
"Absolutely not, everyone on the island is happy to know their fate? It's immortality, how can you still have the ambition to invade others? They plough and weave, work at sunrise, and earn and rest every day. The officials who handle public affairs on the island are all elected by the people, and the supreme ruler is called the chief of the island, and he is not elected every ten years. ”
"Oh, the people in the fairy island are so comfortable and enjoyable, they are really envious of others! Xu Fu, I don't know if you can find such a fairyland again, I don't want anything else, just to be able to obtain some 'Fountain of Youth'!"
Xu Fu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Actually, this is not difficult, as long as the surname can allocate some ships and manpower to the minister, and bring some gifts, the minister will definitely go to the soup for His Majesty, and then go to the East China Sea to seek the immortal island, and seek the 'Fountain of Youth' for His Majesty!"
The First Emperor was overjoyed when he heard this: "Great, it's rare for Aiqing to have such a loyal heart, then I will grant you what you want!" Mr. Xu needs anything, just say it!"
"The ministers need 100 large ships, 5,000 sailors and armorers, and 3,000 boys and girls!"
The First Emperor was stunned: "What does the gentleman want a boy and a girl to do?"
Xu Fu's expression remained unchanged and said: "The boys and girls are not contaminated with the smell of the world, and they will not pollute the breath of the fairy island, otherwise mortals talk too much, and the filthy gas is too candle, I am afraid that the fairy island will not appear!"
The First Emperor nodded frequently and said busily: "Qilu!"
"Wechen is here!"
"Everything Mr. Xu wants, I limit you to prepare it within three months, and there must be no mistakes!"
"Obey the order!" Qilu couldn't help but regret in his heart, why did he introduce Xu Fu to the first emperor, and now he wants to disturb the people, sin, sin!
Fusu has been watching coldly, listening to this Fufu unashamedly say boundless lies here, at this time he couldn't help it anymore, and suddenly got up and said: "Father is slow, Xu Fu is a charlatan, deceived his father, please behead his father, to correct the world!"
The First Emperor was displeased when he heard this: "How can Wang Er say this about Sir, if it weren't for Mr. who has been to Immortal Island, how can he say it so vividly?"
Hearing this, Fu Su sneered: "If my father wants to listen to these rhetoric, his son can say ten times more beautifully!" This Xu Fu has not yet shown any flaws in the shuttle boat and the armor, but he wants 3,000 boys and virgins to clearly deceive, and the sons see that this person clearly has the ambition to be the king on a small island in the East China Sea! Please, father, punish this evil man!"
The First Emperor said in disbelief: "The prince also knows about this immortal island? Why haven't I heard you say that? Let's talk to me!"
Fu Su nodded and said: "Actually, the matter of this fairy island is purely based on imagination, if the father wants to listen, the king will make up a few to ensure that it is vivid!"
Fu Su raised his head, put his hands behind his back, looked at Xu Fu, who was forced to be calm, and sneered in his heart: "Let you see the knowledge of modern people!"
Fu Su smiled and said: "The secret legend that this world should be divided into three realms: the heavenly realm, the underworld and the human realm, needless to say, what the son wants to say is this heavenly realm and the underworld!"
The heavenly realm is the place where the gods and immortals of the heavens gather, located outside the thirty-three heavens, there are a total of thirty-three heavenly palaces, each heavenly palace is Qiong Ling Yuyu, gorgeous and very. The incomparably precious gold and jade in the world is more precious than dung in the fairy world, and even the floor of the fairy world is paved with a whole piece of beautiful jade. The whole palace is made of gold, which is extremely luxurious. During this period, there were as many as a million immortals, and there were hundreds of thousands of immortal soldiers!
The head of this heavenly realm is the Jade Emperor, who has gone through 1,333 eons, each of which lasts for 100,000 years, before he can get this avenue. The well-known gods under his command are: Tota Li Tianwang, Li Jingcheng Immortal of Chentangguan at the end of the Shang Dynasty; His son, who is now also a great god of the heavenly realm, has three heads and six arms, and countless magic weapons, and is a rare god of the three seas and five guilds in the heavenly realm; The Venerable Taishang, who was transformed by Li Er, the ancestor of Taoism, respected his status and smelted the elixir for the Jade Emperor; The Four Heavenly Kings: Demon Lixiu, Demon Lihong, Demon Lihai, and Demon Lihong, these four people used to appear in the late Shang Dynasty during the Great War of the Gods, and the Qinglong Sword, the Mixed Yuan Umbrella, the Soul-Shaking Pipa, and the Divine Mink are also well-known artifacts in the human world; The rest of the well-known figures in the lower realm, such as Erlang God Yang Jian, Mu Qi, Jin Qi, etc., who have become immortals and gods, are also innumerable.
These immortals are all profound, and it is common for them to drive clouds and fog, move mountains and reclaim seas, and move stars. There are even blessings, blessings, and longevity stars that are in charge of the human world! Of course, these immortals are all immortal and live with heaven and earth, and they don't need to drink any 'fountain of youth' at all. Because they have long been immortal bodies!
This underworld is more weird, located under the thirty-three heavenly passes underground, and after death, all souls will be detained by the black and white impermanence sent by hell and sent to the underworld.
After entering the underworld, the ghost must first cross the Nai He Bridge to show a complete break with the yang world, and then enter the Yin and Yang Hall of the underworld to be judged!
The supreme ruler of the underworld is King Jizo, who is the head of the underworld. He was the ruler of the Jade Emperor. Under the king of Jizo there are ten halls of Hades, which are often referred to as the king of Yama, and these Hades are responsible for judging ghosts, praising the good among the ghosts, and punishing the wicked!
The general reward for good people is to be reborn again, to enter the home of great wealth and wealth, and to enjoy the next life. Of course, to enter the head of samsara, one must have drunk Meng Po soup that makes people forget all their previous lives, so that the next life can start again.
As for the wicked, it is miserable, because the underworld has eighteen layers of hell specially prepared for them to entertain them, and the torture is also many and varied.
For example, if a deceiver plucks out his tongue and burns it in a fiery hell, the ghost will be tortured forever because the ghost does not die. The murderer will be boiled and fried in boiling oil, locked in a pot of oil, and will not be reincarnated forever; Those who commit adultery with their wives and daughters will be slowly sawed off by demons with a long saw, then closed again, and sawn off again, so that they will be subjected to this terrible torture for eternity. The rest of the things like skinning, bonelessing, cramping, eye-gouging and torture are also prepared for the wicked people of the world, and nothing else, that is, those who have committed sins in the world will atone for all their previous sins in the underworld! No sinner wants to escape, because all the actions of the world are watched by the eyes of heaven, and there are judges who write and write on the record, so I advise some deceivers to be careful of going to the eighteen layers of hell after death, and suffer from the tongue plucking out and the flames!
Father, the son is finished, which do you think is more vivid and magical, what the son said or what Mr. Xu said?" Fusu asked with a smile.
Naturally, as a modern person, Fusu is far more capable than Xu Fu, and everyone was stunned when he heard it, especially when it came to the eighteenth layer of hell, it made everyone couldn't help but feel creepy, and their backs were cold, and there was really a pair of ghost eyes staring at them in the dark.
The bold First Emperor couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and said astringently: "What the king and Wang Ershi said is true?" After all, what Fusu said is vivid, and there is a little history and legend as a basis, especially the section on hell can't help but make the first emperor frightened, he has killed countless people in his life, how can he not be afraid of being tortured after death!
Fusu shook his head and said with a smile: "Fake, of course it's all fake!" As long as you have the talent to learn and understand some history, you can make it more vivid! Don't worry, Father!"
The First Emperor breathed a sigh of relief, sweat broke out on his forehead, who had always been calm, and at this time, his eyes on Xu Fu also changed, with a little gloomy, and said coldly: "Xu Fu, is what you said true or false?"
Xu Fu's face was a little panicked, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister has indeed seen Xiandao, and he will never dare to coax His Majesty!" After all, the First Emperor still believed in this ghost and god theory, and couldn't help but hesitate a little!
Fu Su thought to himself: I have to add another fire, and hurriedly said: "Father, this Xu Fu is clearly talking nonsense, if there are really immortals in the world, this immortal must have gone through many calamities to find the Great Dao, how can he easily reveal the immortals to mortals!" What's more, Erchen can be sure that what Xu Fu said is all a lie!"
The First Emperor wondered: "What credentials does the prince have?"
Fusu sneered: "In the East China Sea, there are indeed four islands, but they are not called Penglai, Abbot, Yingzhou or anything. Instead, it should be called Kyushu, Shikoku, Honshu, Hokkaido! These four large islands and thousands of smaller islands formed a loose tribal confederation called Fuso or Dongying. The people on the island are called the Yamato people, and they are basically some wild people who work in slash and burn, live in nests and dig holes, how can there be any bullshit of the 'Fountain of Youth'!
And it's not too difficult to get to this country of Fusang, of course, it's still relatively far from Langya, which is not very realistic! Father still remembers that there is a wild land to the south of Liaodong, where there are now two countries, one is Ma Han, which was established by the descendants of Shang He's operator, and the other is Mu Han, which was built by the indigenous people of the world. It is very close to the country of Fuso, and as long as you sail southeast by boat from these two countries, the big ship can reach Fuso in three or five days!"
When the First Emperor heard this, he was exclaimed, "How can the prince know so much? Is this really straight?" When the first emperor saw that what Fusu said was well-founded, he couldn't help but believe Fusu more.
Fusu said with a smile: "This part is learned by Erchen by studying history books and ancient books; The other is that when Erchen traveled to Qichu in the old years, he once met a descendant of the operator from Malaysia, and he introduced the situation of the four islands of Fusang to Erchen in detail. These are true and credible facts, much more credible than the false words of demons and gods.
If the father did not believe his son, it was easy to confirm it, as long as the father ordered the Liaodong Prefecture to send people south to the two kingdoms of Mahan and Muhan to inquire about the coastal people, they would give the father an answer. Of course, most of those barbarian people did not know the Central Plains script, so they would not know what the four islands of Fusang were called, but they could certainly prove that there was indeed a large country of four islands in the southeast of them. But those islanders are even poorer than them, and they are not so-called fairy islands at all!"
The First Emperor was silent when he heard this, a fierce light appeared in his eyes, and he looked at Xu Fu. How could the power of the First Emperor be able to resist Xu Fu's generation, his face couldn't help but change sharply, and his legs couldn't help but tremble!
Fusu continued: "The son can swear with his life, and the father can send the minister to the country of Erhan to inquire, if the son has half a lie, please punish the son of the minister!" This Xu Fu is obviously a liar, he relies on his eloquence, and occasionally knows some things that ordinary people don't know, so he wants to come to his father to cheat money and make profits, and wants to claim the king in the wild land of Fusang. But I don't know that Erchen knows the geography of the countries in the world well, and he is really asking for his own destruction!"
At this time, the first emperor had already believed in Fusu, waved his sleeves, and said angrily: "No need to investigate!" Come on, drag Xu Fu down with a first-class death penalty, and Ling Chi will be executed!" Whoa!" The wolf-like tiger army swarmed up and dragged Xu Fu, who was crying wolf, down.
The First Emperor's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "It's really hateful that you dare to deceive me. Qilu, pass the order down and destroy the Xu Fu Nine Clans!" Whoa!" Qilu received the order.
The First Emperor said, waving his hand angrily and retreating into the back hall.
Fusu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, Xu Fu, you are a dead liar, if you don't die, who will die!"
Qi Lu came over at this time and thanked him: "Thank you for speaking up and exposing this person's face!" If this person really succeeds, Qi is really ashamed of Sheji and Li Min!"
Fusu said with a smile: "Lord Qi loves the people like a son, and Benjun also admires him very much, but he must remember this lesson in the future." In your coastal land, there are many people who want to deceive people by using the fallacies of ghosts and gods, and when adults encounter them in the future, they can do their best to protect the country and society!" Qi Lu hurriedly said: "Obey the teachings of the king!" Then the official will resign, and he will go to get rid of the nine clans of Xu Thief!"
"Go ahead!" Fusu waved his hand.
Looking at Qi Lu's distant back, Fusu suddenly remembered Xu Fu, who was being tortured, and sneered: "You liars and want to cause trouble to the country, then you have to pass the pass of Benjun first!"
