Chapter 1: The Mirage Crossing to the East
A few months later, Xu Fu was instructing his disciples to practice the practice of arranging the formation seal, when a group of Qin soldiers came to the mouth of the valley.
The leading soldier came to Xu Fu and said, "Xu Fu, His Majesty the Emperor is invited, quickly follow me into the palace!" Xu Fu nodded and then instructed the disciples to continue practicing, and then slowly disappeared into the valley mouth with the group of Qin soldiers.
In the Afang Palace of Qin State, the King of Qin heard that Xu Fu was coming, and hurriedly asked the soldiers to bring Xu Fu in. Xu Fu walked into the gate of the palace and saw King Qin sitting on the top of the steps, and hurriedly knelt down to say goodbye: "The villain sees His Majesty the Emperor, may His Majesty the Emperor live forever." ”
King Qin waved his hand with a smile and said, "Xu Fu! You're welcome, please take a seat! ”
Xu Fu, the king of Qin, said: "Xu Fu! Five hundred boys and girls have been found, and the great ship you spoke of is nearing completion. Go with the widow and see it! You see where else needs to be changed. ”
Xu Fu nodded and smiled: "In that case, the villain will accompany His Majesty on a trip!" But where was this great ship built? There is no sea in this Xianyang City for a hundred miles, and even if it is built, it can't go to the sea and set sail! ”
King Qin stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Hahahaha! You are more thoughtful, let me tell you! This big ship was built in Huiji County, and next to Huiji County is the East China Sea, which is one step closer to your eastward crossing. Once the big ship is built, it can set sail directly. ”
Xu Fu asked again: "Where did you find the craftsmen who built the big ships?" This big ship must be indestructible, or it will be swept up by a storm at sea, and the waves will be shattered. ”
King Qin smiled and said, "Hahahaha! The widow knows the importance of going to sea this time, so the craftsmen this time are all masters who are proficient in the art of mechanism, and the on-site supervision is the widow's cronies. So you can rest assured of the quality. So be it! You go down and get some rest. The widow will start his eastern tour early tomorrow morning, and by the way, I will go to Huiji County to see the big ship, so you can go with the widow tomorrow! ”
Xu Fu hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty Emperor Xie, this time the villain must retrieve the elixir of immortality for His Majesty even if he is broken to pieces" King Qin nodded and left the hall with a laugh.
The next morning, the entire Xianyang City was full of people, because the King of Qin was going to tour east, so the streets were full of people kneeling. The soldiers of the Qin army stood in front of the common people, fearing that an assassin in the crowd would suddenly rush out to assassinate them.
The king of Qin swept through the six countries, and the iron cavalry of the Qin army trampled all over the land of the six countries. There were many people who were unwilling to be destroyed by Qin, and they sent assassins to assassinate them. Because of the previous lessons, the guards on the eastern tour this time were particularly tight.
At the front of the eastern tour was the cavalry of the Qin army, in the middle was the carriage of the king of Qin, and then the minister of civil and military affairs.
King Qin kept asking what Xu Fuxian Mountain was like? Xu Fu didn't dare to say that those immortal mountains were actually demon mountains, and there were no immortals there, some were just large groups of bloodthirsty monsters. I could only casually talk nonsense about the immortals and the immortal mountains, and the King of Qin, who only listened, was smiling...
After walking for a while, the Eastern Patrol team finally arrived at Huiji County. King Qin smiled and said, "Xu Fu, look, this is Huiji County." Wouldn't you really like to see that big ship? The widow wants to see it, too! After speaking, he called the general of the accompanying guards and gave a few orders.
Then the eastern patrol team rushed to the seashore of the shipbuilding, and the person in charge of supervising the shipbuilding hurriedly took the shipbuilders and began to kneel down from afar. King Qin pointed to the huge ship like a big mountain on the sea in the distance and said, "Xu Fu, look, that is the big ship you want." After speaking, he asked the craftsman, "Has this ship been named?" ”
The craftsmen shook their heads and replied, "Your Majesty the Emperor, this big ship has just been built, and it has not yet been named. ”
King Qin smiled: "This ship seems to be a mirage transformed into a pavilion, just call it a mirage!" ”
Xu Fu nodded and praised: "Mirage, good name." With this mirage giant ship this time, it is much safer to go and get the elixir of immortality, haha" After speaking, he stroked his beard and laughed.
King Qin said to Xu Fu again: "Xu Fu, you can climb the mirage and take a look!" See what needs to be improved, and the widow will continue to tour the east. Then he said to the officer in charge of supervising the construction of the mirage: "This man has climbed the mirage on behalf of the widow to inspect it, and everything will be improved according to his wishes." After saying that, he got into the carriage and began to continue his tour to the east.
Xu Fu followed the official in charge of supervising the shipbuilding to ascend the mirage, and after looking around, Xu Fu nodded and said, "Hmm! This mirage is not badly built, so be it! You can add more strong bows and crossbows on both sides of this mirage, and then find a way to get some oil! ”
The official hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, the villain will immediately order someone to do it." ”
Xu Fu asked again, "When will the mirage set sail?" The official looked at the sky and said, "Just wait for the strong bow and crossbow to be loaded, and then you can set sail immediately." Looking at this weather, the wind and waves on the sea will be relatively strong during this time, and the wind and waves will be calm after half a month. ”
Xu Fu nodded, and then walked down the mirage alone. I picked up a carriage in a nearby inn and rushed back...
In the valley, Xu Fu called all the disciples. Everyone stood in a circle, and Xu Fuyi said in a straight voice: "The big ship has been built, and we will go to sea in half a month." No matter how powerful the monsters on those demon mountains are, we must completely destroy them. As for the elixir of life, after climbing the Demon Mountain this time, it will definitely be a life of nine deaths, and we may not be able to survive. Even if we come back from the Demon Mountain alive, we will find another place to live in seclusion and never come back, so His Majesty the Emperor can't kill us if he wants to. All the disciples nodded in agreement.
Xu Fu instructed again: "You guys hurry up and pack your luggage, and then hurry up and practice more exercises and secret techniques, there is still half a month to go!" After saying that, he returned to the grass where he lived.
Half a month later, the time for departure arrived. Xu Fu took all the disciples to stand at the mouth of the valley and watch everything in the valley. Several disciples held torches and set everything on fire here, and the blazing fire reflected the faces of Xu Fu and the disciples. Xu Fu sighed and said to his disciple, "Let's go, it's time for us to go." All the disciples followed Xu Fu and rushed to Huiji County.
In Huiji County, the shore under the mirage was full of onlookers. King Qin took Xu Fu's hand and asked repeatedly: "Xu Fu! This time, the heavy task of going to the Immortal Mountain to obtain the elixir of immortality will be hard for you. Don't worry, when you come back, the widow will definitely bring the people of Great Qin to greet you. ”
Xu Fu nodded and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, it's time for the ministers to go." Your Majesty, take care! After saying that, he ordered the five hundred boys and girls to ascend the mirage, and then took his disciples to ascend the mirage.
The huge ship slowly sailed away from the shore and slowly disappeared at the end of the sea.
On the mirage, Xu Fu said to the disciples: "Abbot, Yingzhou, Penglai, they are immortal mountains or demon mountains. We must go and break through, if it is really an immortal mountain, then we can ask for the elixir of immortality, and when the time comes, we will take it ourselves, and then we will feather and ascend to immortality together. If it is a demon mountain, you must remember that the mountain-walking faction must carry forward the purpose of slaying demons and punishing evil spirits. The disciples nodded passionately...
The mirage slowly drove on the endless sea, what kind of fate awaits everyone in front of them?
