Chapter 2: The Myth of the Elixir Solved
The first emperor of the Qin Dynasty ordered people to go to all parts of the world to find the law of immortality, the world was shaken, and the messengers who were looking for immortality searched all over Kunlun, found Penglai, and then looked for the legendary Xuanyuan country, but it was also fruitless.
King Mourning had already heard that the First Emperor was looking for the method of immortality, so he said to his courtiers: "The envoys of the First Emperor will definitely come to the Xubei Holy Domain to find it, who doesn't know, Buxian Tianchi is a place to worship the dragon, and there is also that Buxian North, which is the legendary hometown of Emperor Xuanwu!" Taishi said: "It costs a lot to find the eight continents of the East China Sea, so it is better for us to point out this road to them!" The king of mourning asked: "If the road of expansion is today, only the eight continents of the East China Sea, what if the first emperor swallows the eight continents first!" Taishi said: "The road to find the eight continents is treacherous, and there is still a dangerous return to the ruins of the sea, which is not an easy task!" The King of Mourning agreed.
The leader of the envoy group of the First Emperor was called Xu Fu, so he bowed down and saluted, and said to the King of Mourning: "I think the king must have heard that the First Emperor wants to find the method of immortality, and he doesn't know that there is a mystery here in the Void Northern Sacred Domain!" After hearing this, King Mourning smiled and said: "Of course there is, the law of immortality is by no means delusional, there are Suiren clan during the Great Wilderness, Emperor Yan during the Five Emperors, Peng Zu during the Xia Dynasty, and Wang Jian in the Shang Dynasty, these are all long-lived ancestors, you look at Wang Jiancheng, the hometown of my ancestors, are you afraid that you can't find the law of immortality?" After hearing this, Xu Fu asked, "Where should I look for it according to the meaning of the King of Mourning?" King Wai smiled: "It's better to go to Tianchi first, and then go to the Xuanwu Ancient Land to try!" ”
After that, Xu Fu led people to search for Xubei, but there was no gain, so Xu Fu came back to see the king of mourning. Seeing that Xu Fu returned in vain, King Mourning was naturally expected. This time, Xu Fu sighed again and again, cried to the king of mourning, and said: "King, I have been looking for the method of immortality for a long time on the order of the first emperor, and this time it has been fruitless, and my life will be lost when I go back!" After hearing this, King Mourning smiled and said: "Lord Xu Fu, don't worry, in fact, there is another place that can be found, but the sea route is far away, and it is not easy!" Xu Fu shook his head and asked, "Where did King Mourn save me?" The king of mourning pointed to the east and sighed: "The place where the sun rises is the eight continents of the East China Sea, we are the children of the sun, but it is a pity that we have been looking for it for generations, but we have never had a chance with it!" After hearing this, Xu Fu said to himself: "That should be the location of the ancient Nutwood Country, which has been recorded in the history books." After hearing this, King Mourning hurriedly asked, "What, Lord Xu Fu has heard of it!" Xu Fu sighed: "There is already a history of the migration of ancestors in the Xia and Shang periods, but unfortunately it is only limited to the records in the book!" King Wai said: "In this case, why don't Lord Xu Fu leave quickly!" Xu Fu said: "The mourning king doesn't know, the sea route is vast, the cost is huge, how can the villain be able to complete it by himself, it needs the power of the dynasty!" King Wai said: "Lord Xu Fu, you have no way out, with all due respect, you have to go back to the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty and go to the eight continents to find it, even if you can't find the way to live forever, you don't want to come back, your life is only in the mist!" ”
Xu Fu was grateful to the mourning king, and then said goodbye, returned to the court to tell the "progress", and took out the history books as evidence, but was still opposed by various voices in the court, and finally the first emperor still agreed with Xu Fu's idea, and once again formed a huge envoy group, carrying hundreds of workers, as well as thousands of boys and girls to follow, building a huge fleet, carrying a large number of materials, the number of nearly 3,000 people. Just less than a month after Xu Fu left, there were rumors in the court that Xu Fu was looking for the method of immortality, and it was clear that he had escaped, and this matter was heard by the First Emperor, which was very good, and the First Emperor was furious, and sent the powerful navy of the Qin Dynasty to pursue him, and he must cure Xu Fu for the crime of bullying the king.
When the mourning king of Buxiandong heard this, he was surprised that the first emperor had used the navy, and at this time someone announced: "The people of the Mahan tribe have sent back the news from Bazhou, and they have improved the Pitu of the Yuanchen Kingdom and arrived in Bazhou!" The king of mourning asked, "Has there ever been a great power in the eight continents?" The comer said: "Don't say that there is a big country, there has never been a country, the people there are happy to be comfortable, there are only scattered clans and tribes, they are deeply influenced by the five religions of Yu Shun and form a civilization." The King of Mourning sighed: "Could it be that the so-called Ancient Tree Country is just a legend, or is it that the vast territory of Bazhou has not been found!" Draw a map of the eight continents quickly! "The one who came was ordered to retreat.
At this moment, the Taibao came to visit and asked the king of mourning: "Wang, the navy of the first emperor may chase Xu Fu to Bazhou, and this territory may be the first emperor's." King Wai said: "The route is far from mature, we can't go with heavy troops, let's wait for Xu Fu and the others to land on the eight continents of the East China Sea!" ”
Xu Fu is the second time to experience the infinite ocean, the first time is to find the elixir and go to Penglai, but this time the time is particularly long, I can't help but admire the sea area is unimaginably vast, knowing that he is so small, so he secretly made up his mind to settle in the East China Sea, isolated from the world, away from the place where there is a state machine, and be a happy people.
Xu Fu said to his entourage: "Don't be afraid, after we arrive in Bazhou, we will all be free, no one will be martyred for this, and our lives will be decided by ourselves." The accompanying boys and girls and hundreds of workers also heard Xu Fu's remarks, and they were all grateful to Xu Fu, yes, what a beautiful thing it is to live, who wants to turn tomorrow into a luxury!
So, everyone in the fleet is full of expectations for Bazhou, believing that the legendary paradise is real, everyone is counting the days on the ship, waiting, more is extremely happy and joyful, because it is almost free, whenever you see the sun rising, everyone is warm and warm, that is the direction of the future home.
After experiencing the turbulence of the sea, the day finally came, the moment people walked down from the boat, people found that the place in front of them was deserted, people began to look around, found some local people, Xu Fu asked them: "Is this Bazhou?" At this time, countless locals gathered around, looked at them curiously, and someone replied: "I haven't heard of Bazhou, but this is the place of departure, you must have come from the Celestial Empire!" I don't know if the great Emperor Shun misses our place of sunrise! Xu Fu sighed: "It seems that this is it!" Xu Fu said again: "This brother, the Celestial Empire is now the era of the Qin Dynasty, and it is too far away from what you said!" Someone asked, "How long is the difference?" Xu Fu smiled: "Then I'm afraid it will take 1.8 million sunrises!" Everyone was surprised and said, "It's not that long ago, and I don't know where our ancestors lived at that time!" ”
Xu Fu asked: "Brothers and sisters, our fleet is here to find a place to stay, I don't know which country this boundary belongs to!" As a result, after hearing this, these locals all laughed, and some of them said: "We don't have a country here, and our ancestors said that Yu Shun Chonghua is the God of the East, so we are all Chinese, and we are deeply influenced by the five religions, that is, father's righteousness, mother's kindness, brother and friend, brother Gong, son filial piety, national politics This thing often deviates from the five religions, we are happy and comfortable here, why do we need a country!" Xu Fudao: "Impossible, it is recorded in the history books that there have been ministers who came here to build a country in the Yao era, among which the ancient Nutwood country is the most civilized!" It must be the vast territory of Bazhou, you don't know! The local people laughed again, and another said: "In ancient times, there was no king, but the name of the place in Yaoshi!" Xu Fu said: "Then no one will talk about the way of governing the country when the Xia Shang immigrants cross the sea and migrate!" Everyone looked at each other after hearing this, and said, "I haven't heard of this!" Xu Fu said again: "Ancient books record that there was an envoy from that country in Bazhou to meet Xia Zi Shaokang, and then he was named a doctor in Huiji!" Everyone: "There are many people who care about their ancestral land, and there are often people who take the risk of embarking on the way home!" When Xu Fu heard this, he thought to himself, these closed people still thought it was the Yu Shun era, isn't this exactly the paradise that those of us who came from the Qin Dynasty need to live in!
Xu Fu ordered everyone on the ship to land, choose an inland place, set up camp, and start a new life. Xu Fu said to the entourage: "The First Emperor asked me to find the elixir, try to ask how people can fight against the Mandate of Heaven, since everyone has followed me here, we have started the days of no country and no restraints, tomorrow everyone can freely choose to travel all over the eight continents, the eight continents are sparsely populated, we can choose to live in the place we like, do what we want to do, the people here are simple, they are all good people, and there is no first emperor who can threaten our lives!" The crowd rejoiced.
After that, Xu Fu settled in Bazhou, bringing rice and metal utensils to the locals, and then Xu Fu's prestige in Bazhou suddenly rose, and the people called Xu Fu a god.
Slowly, the news of the landing of the god Xu Fu spread all over Bazhou, and a warrior named Xi Ping found Xu Fu and said to Xu Fu: "My lord, I am a Mahan warrior sent by the King of Mourning to find Bazhou, because I am familiar with Hainan Airlines, and now my lord is hiding in Bazhou on the pretext of looking for the elixir of life, who knows that the navy of the First Emperor is about to chase and suppress!" Xu Fu was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "How is it good!" Xi Ping said: "I have heard for a long time that the First Emperor is cruel, and the people here are afraid that it will be difficult to escape, because of their temperament, I am afraid that it will be difficult to unite in a short period of time, even if they are united, how can they fight against the First Emperor's soldiers, and my Ma Han Department is not enough to fight against the powerful navy of the First Emperor, it seems that they can only escape." Xu Fu said: "It was my fault to deceive the king, and now that I have fled to the place of this sunrise, where else can I escape!" Xi Ping said: "Across the sea to the south, there is a place called Yizhou, and the situation here is similar, you can hide for a while, and continue to take a boat to the east, although the sun here is relatively large, but obviously not the place where the sun rises, to the east there is a vast sea area, there must be a continent, you might as well give it a try!" ”
Xu Fu asked: "Xiping Warrior, I have no friendship with you, why do you help me so much!" Xi Ping said: "King Mourning commands, save the lives of adults!" Xu Fu said: "No, the nearly 3,000 people who are traveling with me, how can I abandon them and flee alone!" Xi Ping said: "Since the adults are unwilling, they can only hide in the mountains and forests of Bazhou, and maybe they can avoid this catastrophe!" Xu Fu had no choice but to do this, spreading the news everywhere to those who came with him, so that they could hide on their own, but the territory of Bazhou was vast, and the news could not be transmitted.
Finally, in the early morning of one day, the black navy appeared in front of Bazhou, and the army of the First Emperor was strong, looking from afar, like a black cloud pressing on the top. The people of Bazhou were flustered, although they didn't understand what war was, but they all felt bad, and they were inexplicably scared in their hearts, not wanting this huge and strange army to get closer.
