Chapter 325: Achieving Fame and Returning to the World of Liaozhai

At the moment when the Yaki Orochi died, the so-called "royal palace" near the Fuso tree also became chaotic.

The king who was once high in the sky disappeared in plain sight.

The men lost their backbones, and at first they were at a loss, and then they began to make a mess, scrambling for the belongings and women in the palace......

Within two days, news of the complete eradication of the Yaki Orochi began to circulate on the island.

This also led to a vigorous confrontation, and the long-enslaved people finally began to break out, fighting to the death against those followers.

Hundreds of Qin soldiers also participated in the battle, wiping out the followers within a radius of a hundred miles.

Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang and the others were not idle, searching for the opponent's strong people all over the island to wipe them out......

In this way, those followers who already have no backbone have become a rabble, torn to pieces by the long-standing resentful people.

In just a few days, the situation on the island had initially stabilized, and the few surviving followers were already frightened and hid in the mountains.

What they will face is another round of hunting of wild beasts in the mountains......

And at this time, Gu Ming and his entourage, including the hundreds of Qin soldiers, undoubtedly became the existence of the heavenly soldiers and gods in the eyes of the people on the island.

In their philosophy, only gods could kill an ancient beast like the Yaki Snake.

That's a lot easier.

As soon as Gu Ming said this, hundreds of people responded, helping to cut wood, process and transport wood, and assist in repairing the damaged mirage.

When the people witnessed the huge mirage, they couldn't help but kneel down one by one and worship reverently.

The so-called number of people is powerful!

With the help of so many people, the repair progress of the mirage has been greatly improved, and Master Ban is overjoyed, saying that it will be repaired in half a month at most.

As for food reserves, there is no problem.

Those followers used to loot a lot, and it was enough to take a little out at will.

Gu Ming was idle, and he walked around the Fusang tree all day long......

"Childe, is there any secret to this Fusang tree?"

Seeing that Gu Ming had been observing the Fusang tree for several days, the Chao Banshee finally couldn't help but step forward and ask.

"It's hard to say...... It stands to reason that this island is not small, but it is not big, how can such a huge tree grow?

I have also traveled a lot of places, the Central Plains, the Western Regions, Kunlun...... However, this is the first time I have seen such a large tree. ”

"Well, it's really strange, I've seen a lot of thousand-year-old trees, but those thousand-year-old trees are like a small sapling compared to this Fuso tree."

"That's right, the largest tree I've ever seen in Kunlun is only two or three hundred meters tall, but this Fuso tree is about four hundred meters tall.

Also, the dryad that grew in Black Mountain at the beginning was only more than 100 meters tall for more than a thousand years, and it was cultivated into a big demon.

Although the vitality of this hibiscus tree is quite vigorous, there is no sign of becoming a sperm, which is indeed a bit weird. ”

The tide banshee couldn't help but smile: "Perhaps, it's because of the isolation here, right?" ”

"It's just a small factor...... However, the aura of this island is indeed much richer than that of Great Qin......"

Gu Ming subconsciously took a long breath and glanced at the root of the tree.

"Childe, could this be the legendary fairy island of Great Qin? Although we haven't seen any immortals or anything like that, there is the Fuso Sacred Tree, the Yaqi Giant Snake, and the Immortal who sealed the Yaqi Giant Snake back then......"

"It's hard to say. Theoretically, since there is a large snake in Yaki on this island, there must have been an existence of immortals in ancient times. ”

"That'...... Is there any need to continue our voyage? ”

Gu Ming thought for a while and said, "Since it's out, let's try again, and then go back and discuss it with Master Ban and them before deciding on the itinerary." ”

"By the way, Childe, those princes ......"

"The prince?" Gu Ming smiled: "It's okay, they will be reborn when they go back." ”

The tide banshee couldn't help but cover her lips and smile: "Also, with the sincere guidance of the son, they will definitely change their minds and be good people!" ”

After chatting for a while, the Chao Banshee said unintentionally: "This Fuso tree is so big, so I'm afraid its roots have grown to the bottom of the sea?" ”

"Under the sea?"

As soon as he heard this, Gu Ming's light flashed......

"yes, how did I forget about it? They only look at what they see, but forget where it takes root. ”

This is not to blame Gu Ming's negligence for a while, after all, this is the middle of the island.

However, the island is not suspended in the sea, and the roots of the island are still in the sea after all.

"Hahaha, great, it's really a word to wake up the dreamer!"

Gu Ming was in a good mood, and immediately hugged the tide banshee.

"Childe ......"

The tide banshee's face blushed and subconsciously looked around.

"Okay, I'll go down and have a look, you can go back first."

"That boy must be careful."

"Yes, I know!"

Gu Ming responded, and then his thoughts moved, and he directly used the technique of controlling the soil to go deep into the ground.

The branches underground were as dense as spider webs, and some of the thick roots were almost the size of a room, which greatly affected Gu Ming's diving speed.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a rush of seawater.

At this time, Gu Ming subconsciously observed with a clear eye, only to find that the lower part of the island was actually empty, like a honeycomb, and it was full of staggered and vertical passages and holes.

The roots of the hibiscus tree had not diminished, but had become smaller, but they had become denser and more extensive, and had probably enveloped the entire base of the island.

It's no wonder that it stands hundreds of meters high.

At this time, Gu Ming felt a richer aura more and more.

Could it be that there is a spiritual spring down there?

Gu Ming's spirits lifted and he dived faster.

It didn't take long to finally reach the soft bottom of the sea.

At this time, you can still feel the dense roots extending downward.

Gu Ming performed water control and soil control techniques at the same time, and continued to dive along the growth of the roots......

After a while, his body suddenly lightened, like a foot in the air and fell down.

However, at this time, Gu Ming did not have a trace of panic, but a look of shock and joy.

Because he had already seen the terrain around him, it turned out to be an enclosed space about a few hundred zhang square.

There is a faint blue light in the space, and you can see dense roots suspended in mid-air, reflecting the blue light, which looks extremely psychedelic and psychedelic.

The bottom layer is also a soft black mud.

In the middle there is a stone vein that winds like a snake and shapes like a mountain peak.

And this stone vein is the root of the rich aura, and it is also the root of the blue light.

"It's ...... Ancestral spirit veins? ”

Gu Ming floated to the ground lightly, as if he was a little incredulous, or he exclaimed uncertainly.

He has seen a lot of introductions to spiritual veins and spiritual springs in various ancient books.

Both the spiritual vein and the spiritual spring are graded, and there is no unified standard for how to divide them, after all, this thing is too rare.

However, there is one kind of spiritual vein that is more special, and that is the ancestral spiritual vein.

The reason why it is called the ancestral spirit vein is because the ancestral spirit vein can contain a spirit vein bead, and it is said that one can only be cultivated every 100 million years.

There are two ways to identify the ancestral spiritual vein, the first is naturally to see if it has already cultivated the spiritual vein bead, if so, then it is 100% right.

The second way, looking at the two ends of it, if it is in the shape of a lotus, it can basically be confirmed as the ancestral spirit vein.

What Gu Ming saw now belonged to the kind that was 100% right, because this spiritual vein had already cultivated a spiritual vein bead, a fist-sized bead shaped like a stone egg.

The beads as a whole are blue, crystal clear, and you can faintly see that there are sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers in the beads.

Of course, it's not meant to be viewed.

Once it leaves the ancestral spirit vein body and places it in another place, it will slowly grow, and it will form a small spirit vein in about three years.

Moreover, its growth is continuous, at least for 10,000 years.

"No wonder that Fuso tree grew so big, I didn't expect its roots to grow here through the bottom of the sea......"

Gu Ming subconsciously looked up at the root whiskers above his head and sighed.

However, surprise is surprise, and he still has some regret in his heart.

Because he can't bring this bead back to the world of Liaozhai, he can only use it in this world.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, you can come back to this world in the future, just think of it as a back garden.

As for the ancestral spirit vein...... If it were moved, the whole island would fall apart, and it would be a great sin, and I don't know how many innocent lives would be affected.

So, Gu Ming accepted the spirit vein bead, and then jumped up, passed through the thick layer of seabed mud into the sea, and floated towards the sea.

After going back, Gu Ming only told the Chao Banshee about the following situation, and instructed her not to mention it to anyone, lest someone have the idea of being greedy to beat the ancestral spirit vein after the news leaked.

Although this is too unlikely, after all, not everyone can dive into the deep sea and pass through the thick layers of mud on the seabed.

But, if you are not afraid of 10,000 in everything, you are afraid of what happens.

"Great, with this bead, Childe will be able to build his own immortal mountain in the future."

The tide banshee said with a surprised expression.

"Hehe, of course, it was also very beneficial to your cultivation at that time."

"Childe ......"

For a while, the tide banshee couldn't help but fluctuate, and her soft body slowly came up.

"Childe, it's not too early, it's better to rest early......"

The night is as cool as water.

Passionate.

……

Unconsciously, half a month passed.

With the help of the people, the mirage was finally restored as before, and what should be supplemented was also replenished, and the mirage set sail again.

However, nearly 200 boys and girls who traveled with the boat volunteered to stay.

Here, they will become the disseminators of Middle-earth culture.

Next, the mirage continued to sail eastward for nearly three months, but did not find the legendary fairy mountain.

However, along the way, more than a dozen inhabited islands were discovered.

However, the people on these more than ten islands can almost be called primitive people, and they can't understand what they say at all, and they are standard native.

There are some strange plants or animals growing on the island, and Zhang Liang asked people to collect samples and bring them back to study slowly, including some seeds and the like.

This night, the moon god hurriedly found Gu Ming, and said with a solemn face: "The emperor star is dim, I'm afraid it's about to fall!" ”

"Oh?"

Gu Ming's brows jumped.

Then, with the moon god, they walked to the deck to observe the celestial phenomena.

When it comes to deduction techniques, although Gu Ming's current level is not as professional as that of the Moon God, it is not bad.

After some careful observation and quiet deduction, the results coincided with the moon god's speculation.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Gu Ming asked Xiaoyaozi and Concubine Yan to help with the deduction...... The result is still the same.

In this way, there is nothing to doubt.

So, Gu Ming immediately summoned Master Ban, Gai Nie, Zhang Liang and other important personnel to announce the matter.

Finally, he said: "According to the results of this deduction, most of the First Emperor has been terminally ill and will die soon. Well, it's time for us to go back. ”

"Well, that's what Mr. said."

"What about those princes? Take it all together? ”

Master Ban couldn't help but ask.

Gu Ming smiled and said, "Take it back, now they are bent on goodness, and they will never go to intrigue to compete for the throne." ”

So, the mirage began to return.

This return voyage is much faster because of the experience I have accumulated.

Although he encountered some wind and waves on the way, and also encountered a few huge sea beasts, he finally avoided it without danger.

After sailing for almost two months, the mirage, once again appeared in Songhai, and once again caused a sensation among the people.

After going ashore, he inquired about the news, and sure enough, when the First Emperor returned from his last trip to the east, he had already contracted the disease on the way.

After returning to the capital, he has not recovered, and his condition has become more and more serious.

At present, he has almost fallen into a state of slumber, and the affairs of the DPRK and China have been handed over to Fusu to handle.

Therefore, it is generally rumored that once the first emperor has an accident, the successor is not the son of Fusu.

When the news of the mirage's return reached the palace, the First Emperor returned to his glory and hopefully asked if he had found the elixir of immortality.

The moon god calmly told him that although there were some gains from this voyage, it also lost a lot of manpower.

As for the elixir of immortality...... Not really!

The last glimmer of hope was dashed.

The First Emperor finally ran out of oil and dried up.

No matter how strong he is, he still can't escape the cycle of life, death, sickness and death.

Before his death, he made a testament: the eldest son Fusu!

This point has not changed, but if it were not for Gu Ming's efforts, the first emperor's testament would not have been announced to the world at all, but was tampered with by Zhao Gao and Li Si, and the eighteenth prince Hu Hai was re-established.

Now, Zhao Gao has long since turned into dust, and the rest of the party kills and closes the passes, and there is no trace of waves at all.

Although Li Si has ambitions and ideas, but the people he relies on leave or fall one after another, what strength and courage does he have to change all this?

Fusu officially ascended the throne and became the new Emperor of Great Qin.

After ascending the throne, he issued three holy decrees in a row.

The first way: canonized Gu Ming as the Great Qin National Teacher.

The second way: Abolish the position of Prime Minister Li Si and take him into custody for interrogation.

The third way: the Confucian Zhang Liang was appointed as the prime minister of the Great Qin State.

After that, some officials were abolished one after another, and some Confucian, Mohist, Bingjia and other disciples of hundreds of schools of thought were promoted to the court as officials.

At the same time, the Great Qin Law was revised, the imperial examination system was piloted, the academy was established, the state capital was divided, and the army was restructured...... and so on.

As a national teacher, Gu Ming naturally has a fief.

His fief is next to Lishan, with mountains and rivers, and it is also close to the capital, which can be described as a rare treasure of feng shui.

Gu Ming placed the spirit vein bead in the depths of the earth, and after two or three years, after the bead grew into a spirit vein, his fiefdom would be filled with spiritual energy, and it would become an excellent place for cultivation.

Although Gu Ming does not belong to this world, he can shuttle freely through the system, which is equivalent to his own back garden.

The only regret is that he is limited to the rules and can only cross by himself.

Since he was canonized as the Great Qin National Teacher, Gu Ming naturally still had to reciprocate.

He talked with Fusu many times and drew up a long-term plan, such as copper smelting, mining, casting, papermaking, printing, and other industry-related content, as well as cultivating excellent crops to increase food production according to local conditions.

In addition, it is to cooperate with the Mo family to create more special mechanisms for combat, such as giant trap beasts, flying trap birds, and so on.

In this way, not only can the combat capability of the armed forces be greatly enhanced, but also the size of the armed forces can be greatly reduced, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Gu Ming's advanced ideas are undoubtedly a huge treasure for Fusu.

After all, these ideas are not Gu Ming's whims, they are all successful experiences that have been verified by history.

Fusu was not a conservative person.

His father, the emperor, created the overall situation of unifying the world, unifying the written word, unifying the weights and measures, which was the creation of the world.

Therefore, he also secretly swore that his task was not only to defend this country, but to make it more brilliant.

"Sir, I still have some questions I would like to ask Mr. about the imperial examination."

In front of Gu Ming, Fusu has always referred to himself as me, not me, to show his humility.

"What questions does the emperor have?"

"I've been thinking that most of those people who read books come from poor families, and I'm afraid that most of them don't know how to govern the country at all.

Therefore, when officials are selected through the imperial examination, it is very likely that there will be people who are brilliant in literature but do not know how to be officials at all. ”

Gu Ming smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's inevitable." However, this can also be avoided as much as possible from the content of the exam.

The content of the imperial examination should be diversified, in addition to literary style, it is also necessary to understand current politics, and combine current political defense, and select the best candidates.

In this way, those who read books will no longer be blind to what is going on outside the window.

If he wants to participate in the imperial examination and gain fame, he must understand the current affairs and fully understand the essence of self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world.

Of course, the imperial examination is not the only way to select talents, and the imperial court also needs to pay attention to some special talents, such as craftsmen, doctors, and so on.

If a dynasty wants to develop steadily, it must not neglect one or the other, and scholars, farmers, industry, and commerce must all pay attention to it, so that the world will prosper......"

After Gu Ming's explanation, Fusu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Mr.'s talent is comparable to that of the ancestors, and Fusu can be assisted by Mr., which is really the blessing of Fusu and the blessing of Daqin!" ”

"Hehe, the emperor has won the award, if there is no exploration and inheritance of the sages, how can a hundred flowers bloom today?

In fact, the process of history is like a big wave sweeping sand, and the vast majority of what future generations have done is still based on the foundation of their predecessors, and through the accumulation of generation after generation, so as to promote the development of all aspects. ”

"What Mr. said is very true, Fusu is taught!"

"By the way, the emperor, the main reason for entering the palace this time is to tell the emperor, and I am ready to retreat."

Upon hearing this, Fusu couldn't help but be taken aback: "Mr. wants to retreat? How long will it be in retreat? ”

"It's hard to say, maybe a year or two, maybe longer......"

"Huh? How long is it going to take? But now I'm in need of a gentleman......"

Gu Ming smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, isn't there Zhang Liang to assist you?" Besides, now Confucianism and Mohists are also doing their best to assist the emperor, and with the plans I prepared in advance, the emperor can make great achievements. ”

Fusu sighed: "Okay, then Fusu will wish Mr. a higher level of cultivation." ”

"Well, after my retreat, if the emperor has something difficult to decide, you can also go to my maid Mingzhu, and she will definitely help find a way."

"Yes, thank you, sir!"

After chatting for a while, Gu Ming said goodbye and left.

The retreat was actually just an excuse he made, including Master Ban, Gai Nie and his party, all of whom thought that Gu Ming was really a retreat.

The only one who knows the truth is the Tide Banshee.

But, she would never reveal this amazing secret to anyone.

If it weren't for Gu Ming, she would still be alone in the depths of the mountains.

Gu Ming's arrival made her say goodbye to the past completely, ushered in a new life, and re-appreciated the excitement of life.

In this life, she will be loyal to this man who does not belong to this world.

Night.

The tide banshee bird was still lying in Gu Ming's arms, and her white fingers were drawing circles on Gu Ming's chest......

"Childe, you...... Did you really decide to leave? ”

"Well, just for the time being, after all, I don't belong to this world. I'll be back when I get the chance, though. ”

Gu Ming didn't deceive the tide banshee, because there was already an explanation in the system, and she could travel to this world at any time in the future.

And it will be more convenient in the future, there is no need to make a special trip to Kunlun Mountain like last time, only Gu Ming needs to set up a teleportation point in each of the two worlds, so that he can shuttle at a fixed location.

Merely...... According to the consistent urine nature of the system, it is not something that can be worn at any time when you want to.

First, the interval must be more than one month.

Second, each shuttle costs 1,000 points, and each day you stay consumes 10 points.

That's a bit of a pitfall......

Fortunately, the points are not too difficult to earn now, unlike before, a task rewards dozens of points, a task is basically above two hundred points, and at most four or five hundred points.

It was almost dawn, and Gu Ming was finally leaving.

This time, I had the experience to take off my clothes in advance, including all the things I had collected since I came to this world.

Because this is a rule, he can't take anything with him except for system-related items.

"Mingzhu, these things are all put away, and I will use them when I come back in the future."

"Well, don't worry, Mingzhu will live up to the trust of Childe."

"Okay Mingzhu, I'm leaving, you cultivate hard and strive to break through to the innate realm as soon as possible, then you will have a long life......"

After explaining, Gu Ming's mind moved, and his figure disappeared instantly......
