Sixty-four Lu Sheng
Great Qin was strong for a while, and when Qin Shi Huang reached his old age, he began to indulge in the art of immortality. As a result, Fang Shi gathered in Qin, including Xu Fu, Hou Sheng, Lu Sheng, etc.
Lu Sheng is an interesting person, full of talent and ambition. Xu Fu and Lu Sheng went out to look for the elixir at the same time, and the news they brought back was different.
Lu Sheng led the fleet to ride the wind and waves and led the order. After all, Lu Sheng is a doctor of Qin Chaowen, who knows the longitude and latitude of heaven and earth, and is good at observing feng shui. He has always been the best among the alchemists. In the Fang Shi Sect, his status is under Xu Fu, and he can't help but be unwilling all the time. This time I was ordered to go to sea, and I was also ambitious.
Lu Sheng was very smart and lucky, and chose a sunny day to go to sea.
The fleet has been sailing on the huge calm sea. After walking for more than half a month, I saw a huge mirror in front of me. The scene in the mirror is another fleet.
"My lord, I have heard that there is a monster on the sea called a mirage, which is formless and incorporeal, and it is specially transformed into a scene in the world to lure humans to go and take the opportunity to devour people's souls. My lord, how can there be such a big mirror in this world? It must be a mirage. The experienced sailor said to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng thought for a long time, and ordered someone to drive directly towards the center of the mirror.
"My lord, no!!" The old sailors are still trying to dissuade.
Lu Sheng pursed his lips and smiled: "Just go and see." ”
Lu Sheng's fleet entered the center of the mirror, and immediately after, it disappeared into thin air. In the center of the mirror, there were huge ripples several feet high.
Lu Sheng's fleet appears in the world behind the mirror. An island in front of you, ethereal like a fairyland.
"The aura above this island is ethereal, and there must be immortals living there." This Lu Sheng is also a bold person, thinking that if he can find the elixir, his position in the Fang Shi Sect will definitely be in the sky, and he will not be able to suppress Xu Fu's head? Thinking of this, he led his group to the island to look for traces of the gods.
Curiously, the island is not inhabited. Instead, the ground was covered with dense grass, and birds' nests could be seen everywhere in the grass, and the sound of insects chirping in the jungle was incessant. Such a tranquil place is perfect for seclusion. However, Lu Sheng was fashionable and had no intention of living in seclusion, so he recognized that there were immortals here, and only focused on chasing the traces of immortals and elixirs.
The group searched for a long time on the island to no avail, Lu Sheng walked in the middle of the team to direct the route, and the people walking in front cut bamboo poles and knocked on the ground as they walked to prevent poisonous insects from biting people.
Lu Sheng was looking for a place with abundant spiritual energy while directing the team forward. Unknowingly, I fell into a foggy bamboo forest.
"This fog barrier is weird, you should be careful." Lu Sheng did not tell the truth, this fog barrier is actually a poisonous miasma, and inhaling it into the lungs will hurt the internal organs. But the elixir is right in front of you, how can you retreat? Telling the truth will only cause people to panic.
After the crowd walked for half an hour, the two people who took the lead said, "My lord, this fog barrier is really weird. It looks like we've just been here. ”
Lu Sheng carefully observed the terrain and found that this place was artificially set up in a trap. Not only was he overjoyed: "This place looks uninhabited, how can there be a formation set up by a warlock?" It must be a cultivator who cultivates immortals here, in case mortals don't bother him. And look carefully. ”
When the group heard Lu Sheng say this, they also had a bottom in their hearts. If you find an immortal, although you don't dare to ask for half an elixir, even if you get a little spiritual energy, you can prolong your life. I couldn't help but feel the spirit and continued to follow the route pointed out by Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng took out a wooden box with a magnetic needle on the axis. Lu Sheng adjusted his position, looked at the surrounding trees, and said, "Sure enough. Then let everyone go in one direction, along the leafy side of the tree.
"Although the fog barrier here obscures the sun, the danzhi leaves are still sparse and dense. The side with dense foliage must be the south, the south is away from the open fire, and there is a pure yang place in the south that is the boundary of the fog barrier, go south. Lu Sheng said, his face couldn't hide his joy.
The group walked cautiously and was prepared for any danger. I don't know how long I walked, the fog barrier became thinner and thinner, and I saw that I was about to get out of the fog barrier bamboo forest. The leader suddenly stopped, tightened his neck, foamed at the mouth, and fell to the ground. Immediately afterward, some people fell to the ground one after another.
Lu Sheng stepped forward to stop the acupuncture points of the two people, took out two pills from his pocket and stuffed them into their mouths. After a few breaths, the crowd slowly woke up, their eyes glazed over, as if they had lost their minds.
Lu Sheng gave a deep salute to the end of the bamboo forest in front of him: "In the Great Qin, Lu Sheng was ordered by the First Emperor to go to the sea to seek immortals and seek elixir. inadvertently collided with the mountain gate of the seniors, and I hope that the seniors will not be blamed. ”
"Since it is entrusted by the ancestral dragon, it is not difficult for me to be with you. Go back, this place is forbidden to mortals, and do not come again. An ethereal voice outside the bamboo forest, unable to hear men and women clearly, seems to be illusory and real.
"Seniors, in the next night, they will watch the stars, and during the day, they will observe the sun, but they have never obtained the way of immortality, and I hope that the seniors will give me some advice." Although Lu Sheng was rejected, he still did not give up.
"Immortality is to go against the sky. Life and death have their own way of heaven, and mortals must not violate them. Even the ancestral dragon can't be surpassed. "The ethereal is getting farther and farther away.
"Senior, who is the one who died in Qin?" Lu Sheng shouted as hard as he could at that voice.
A leather scroll fluttered down from the air, and a small seal was written on it: "Hu of the Dead Qin". It wasn't until many years later that Lu Lettuce knew the meaning of this nonsense of the deceased Qin.
After the leather scroll was put away by Lu Sheng, the people who came with Lu Sheng also came to their senses, and they were surprised and respectful when they looked at the leather scroll in Lu Sheng's hand. "Da Hot, have you seen an immortal?"
"Hmm." Most of the people in this group are illiterate, and there are also those who are literate. Lu was afraid of leaking the sky, so he hurriedly stuffed the prize paper into his arms.
After Lu Sheng returned from the sea, he took a leather scroll and returned to the first emperor, who was furious; "Hu of the Dead Qin? Those who offend my Great Qin will be punished even if they are far away! So Qin Shi Huang attacked the Hu people in the north and built the Great Wall. Labor and money, countless deaths and injuries.
Of course, Lu Sheng's more famous thing is related to Qin Shi Huang's book burning and Confucianism, which is a later story.
Let's talk about Xu Fu.
Xu Fu, who also received the emperor's order to go to sea, was much more unlucky.
Xu Fu stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the end of the waves, and he watched the rolling black waves in the sky from far and near. Heavy dark clouds, tempting to approach the water. At the end of the horizon, there was a huge black ravine.
He listened to the jumping waves crashing against the planks of the ship like the neighing of thousands of horses. The noise of the waves sounded in his ears like a call, like a roar from the grave. It shuddered, maybe the ship would be shattered by the waves at any moment.
The fleet sailed on the vast sea, and Xu Fu felt that people were so small as far as he could see the sky.
The storm at sea came so fast that just now it was just the wind pushing the waves, and in the blink of an eye the clouds were thick and the wind was raging. The roaring waves can engulf the fleet to the bottom of the ocean at any moment.
Xu Fu stood on the bow deck of the ship, letting the ship bumper and bumping, and he said to himself in the wind and rain: "The majestic Qin Empire has existed for many years in this long river of years? Thousands of generations and longevity are just the illusions of the first emperor. ”
