In the autumn of 211 BC, on this crisp day, in the court hall in Xianyang Palace, Yingzheng slowly walked to the dragon chair, turned to look at the civil and military ministers in the audience, and then sat on the dragon chair. I saw that his face was haggard, his eyes were in a trance, and a voice sounded in the court: "The emperor has arrived, go to the court!" ”

Then the ministers above the court knelt on the ground and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The voice sounded again: "Something to play, nothing to retreat!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a deep voice said: "Chen Xu Fu has something to do!" ”

"Quasi-play!" The emperor slowly opened his lips, and his voice was a little hoarse.

Xu Fu's face was full of smiles, and his eyes were full of confidence and said: "The minister recently heard that there is an immortal mountain in Penglai, Shandong, and there are immortals living on the mountain, and he has an elixir, and the minister wants to ask for this immortal medicine to be dedicated to the emperor." ”

The emperor's trance-like eyes changed suddenly, his eyes were full of surprise, and he said happily in his heart: "Is there really this medicine?" ”

Xu Fu's eyes were firm and said: "I implore the emperor to give the ministers half a year to go to the immortal mountain and visit the immortals." ”

The emperor became energetic, with some expectations in his heart, and then said silently in his heart: "If there is really this medicine, my body will not be so bad, and I am not worried that I will not have time to govern the world!" ”

Then he said happily: "If you can really ask for this medicine, I will be able to live for thousands of generations, and Xu Fu will make great contributions and will be rewarded." ”

Xu Fu knelt on the ground, and began to fantasize about the future scene of one person under ten thousand people, his eyes were a little excited, and he said in his heart: "I sent someone to explore the location of the immortal mountain for many days, there will be no mistake this time, the day when the Xu family will come out is not far away!" ”

He then said to the emperor: "Thank you for the emperor's favor, the minister will live up to the emperor's trust, if you can't ask for the elixir, come to see you." ”

In the early morning of the next day, Ying Zheng came to the gate of Xianyang City with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and Xu Fu and thousands of boys and girls had been waiting here for a long time. After Ying Zheng explained to Xu Fu for a while, Xu Fu knelt down to say goodbye to Ying Zheng, and the immortal search team slowly left Xianyang. After a month's long journey, they finally arrived at the foot of the legendary Penglai Xianshan Mountain, a flat land the size of a football field with weeds growing everywhere. This land is bordered by Xianshan Mountain in the west and the sea in the east, and the waves hit the flat shore from time to time, making a crackling sound. The sea is sparkling in the setting sun.

Xu Fu looked up at the Immortal Mountain, this mountain is not high, it is estimated that it is more than a thousand meters high, compared with the mountain of Shu Dao, it is much shorter. He looked at it, a little worried in his heart, the confidence in his eyes was reduced by half, and he said in his heart: "There is nothing special about this mountain, could it be that the spies are mistaken?" It's getting dark at this point, so I'll have to stay here for one night! ”

The sun is gradually setting, and the night is slowly falling, and everyone has a tired expression on their faces. Xu Fu looked at everyone, and said with some guilt in his heart: "We will camp here tonight, everyone will eat and drink well, and we will enter the mountain tomorrow." ”

Then the guards got busy, some of them set up tents, and some of them were responsible for chopping wood and making fires. I saw that their hands and feet were nimble, and they all handled it in a while. Then everyone gathered around the bonfire, eating meat and drinking wine, talking and laughing. Xu Fu stood up from the crowd and looked at the crowd, his eyes looking at the children a few more times. The group of children smiled innocently, completely unaware of the purpose of the trip.

Xu Fu's heart was a little throbbing, his eyes were complicated, and then he said in his heart: "Tomorrow they are about to become the sacrifice of the gods, I, Xu Fu, have done such a thing that has lost my conscience, and I will definitely go to the eighteenth layer of hell after death, right?" ”

Then he comforted himself in his heart: "As long as you are immortal, how can you go to hell?" A smile gradually appeared on his face.

He held a bowl of wine, a little excited in his heart, and said with a look of impatience in his eyes: "Tomorrow I will complete the emperor's entrustment, and then Xu Fu will not forget everyone's hard work all the way, come, we will make this cup for tomorrow!" Then everyone picked up their glasses and drank them all.

Time flies like a stream, and midnight comes in the blink of an eye. Everyone else was asleep, but Xu Fu was not sleepy at all, his heart was too excited, and his mind was full of the scenery when he returned to Xianyang. Xu Fu slowly walked out of the tent and walked to the shore, the autumn night sky was cloudless, the sky was full of stars, and the only drawback was that there was no bright moon. The water is much deeper than before, and the sea is very calm. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the fire was extinguished instantly, and the wind was biting, making him tremble, and he was a little uneasy in his heart: "This wind is unusual, is there any monster here?" ”

Suddenly, a penetrating voice came from the mountain: "Who is under the mountain?" ”

The sound came and went, and the whole mountain shook with it, and everyone else was awakened in their sleep. The children cried wow, and the cry reached the mountains, making bursts of echoes, which seemed even more terrifying. Seeing this, Xu Fu had no choice but to let the guards soothe the crying children, with a solemn expression, and then shouted loudly to the mountain: "In Xia Xu Fu, come to Xianshan to ask for the elixir of life, and hope that the great immortal will give the medicine." ”

The voice said angrily, "What are you?" Why did you give you the elixir? ”

Xu Fu's eyes were full of horror, and his face was a little embarrassed, so he immediately knelt on the ground and continued to shout: "Bring thousands of boys and girls below to honor the Great Immortal, and hope that the Great Immortal will give medicine." ”

The voice laughed and said, "I'll talk about it until I can survive tonight, hahahahahaha." ”

As soon as the words fell, the whole mountain began to shake along with this flat land, like an earthquake, the whole mountain came to life, and the yin wind suddenly rolled up all the people on the ground, and then blew towards the top of the mountain, and in less than a few seconds everyone was blown to the top of the mountain and disappeared. Only Xu Fu was still in place, Xu Fu had never seen such a scene, and he was almost frightened.

There were mixed tastes in his heart, and his eyes were full of despair: "It's over, it's over!" The child was lost, and he didn't even see the introduction of the elixir, and his head was not guaranteed! Heaven is going to kill me, Xu Fu! Then he fainted.

Suddenly, a black shadow floated down from the top of the mountain, and instantly landed next to Xu Fu, the speed was so fast that it was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, the black shadow looked at Xu Fu who fell to the ground, with a disgusted expression, and said with disdain: "Ignorant mortals, this little courage dares to come and ask for the elixir of life?" If Nuwa saw that the ants she had made were so vulnerable, would she have stopped them? Hahahahaha. ”

In the early morning, the sun slowly rose from the sea, and the sun shone on Xu Fu's face, only to see a little mud on his face, and some dew on his hair, crystal clear. He felt the touch of the sun, slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly felt a little dazzling, and then blocked the sunlight with his hand, sat up from the ground, his eyes were confused, and he said with a blank face: "Where am I?" ”

Then he looked around, his face was full of horror, despair came to his eyes, and he said to himself: "Alas, it turns out that at the foot of the Immortal Mountain, he is still alive, which is no different from being dead." Now there is no way to retreat, it is better to go to the fairy mountain to see. ”

Then he walked to the tent, which was still there, and he ate some dry food, and took his baggage and walked up the hill.

He climbed slowly up the hill along the path, stopping and stopping along the way, but he didn't encounter any demons or monsters. The mountains are densely jungled, and he can't see the sky when he looks up, which also helps him, and the sun is very strong in the sky, which makes people feel much cooler. The mountain didn't look high, but the road was the same as the winding mountain road, going up and down again and again, and he walked like this for three hours in one breath before he reached the halfway point of the mountain.

As he walked, a tumbling sound flew into his ears, and his eyes lit up, licking his dry lips, and striding forward with an expression of impatience. A waterfall came into his eyes, only to see that the waterfall is not big, about more than 200 meters high, both sides of the top of the waterfall are covered with grass, it is autumn at this time, but the grass is not a little yellow, like evergreen. The grass is surrounded by rocks, which are covered with moss, and a clear spring flows slowly from the top of the waterfall.

At the lower end of the waterfall is a natural pond with a few lotus flowers in full bloom, the flowers are white, very showy, and the pool is not deep, and you can see the chaotic stones at the bottom of the water at a glance. Like seeing a life-saving straw, he ran over, crawled beside the pool, put his head into the pool, drank the water in the pool, and after a while, raised his head and said with a satisfied face: "Cool! Sweet and cool, I can't imagine that there is such a quiet place in this mountain, such clear and sweet water, it is worthy of being a fairy mountain! ”

He rested here for half an hour, ate some dry food, and had no hunger in his stomach. He looked up at the road ahead, and said with a haggard face: "I must reach the top of the mountain before dark, and I don't know how far this place is from the top of the mountain!" ”

Then he got up and continued to walk along the road, time was like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, it was dusk, under the illumination of the setting sun, the fairy mountain glowed with a faint golden light, and he finally reached the top of the mountain.

Xu Fu thought that there would be pavilions and pavilions on the top of the mountain, like a fairyland, but there was only one cave more than one person high. I saw that the outside of the cave was covered with grass, and the grass was very lush, and there was no trace of the existence of living creatures. However, the road to the top of the mountain is a perennial person passing by, he looked puzzled, his heart was very strange, his eyes were a little confused, and then he said in his heart, "This mountain is too strange, there is no fairy mountain should be." Let's go down the mountain first, in case last night's incident repeats, there will be no escape! ”

Xu Fu turned his head and was about to leave, and just after taking two steps, a voice came from the cave: "If you go back, you will die, why don't you go to the cave to take a look?" ”

Xu Fu was overjoyed in his heart, hope rose in his eyes, and then he knelt on the ground with his legs and prayed, "Daxian save me!" ”

The Great Immortal sneered in his eyes, "You want the elixir of life? ”

Xu Fu replied very dryly: "Yes! ”

Daxian smiled again and said, "A long time ago, someone came to me to ask for medicine, and then he regretted it. ”

Xu Fu was puzzled in his eyes: "Immortality is what many people dream of, how can they regret it?" ”

Daxian smiled again: "That's what he said when he asked for medicine. ”

Xu Fu said eagerly in his eyes: "I won't regret it, with this medicine, I can save myself, save my family, and ask the great immortal for medicine!" ”

Daxian sighed lightly and said: "Alas, you and other mortals are really interesting, there are always various reasons to excuse yourself, you come to the cave!" ”

Xu Fu was overjoyed when he heard this, and his eyes were even more impatient, and then he strode into the hole. There are no artificial chisel marks on the cave wall, it is covered with moss, it looks very damp, there are two spaces in the cave, there is an arch between the two spaces, there is an abyss in this space near the entrance of the cave, there are two arc-shaped roads on both sides of the abyss leading to the arch, the road is very narrow, only enough for one person to walk.

He slowly walked forward with both hands on the cave wall, afraid that he would fall. When he walked to the middle of the abyss, he looked down and saw no end in sight, and there was a strong smell of blood in the abyss, and he almost vomited. Then he walked through the archway and came to the inner space, let's call it the inner hole. The inner hole is not big, there is a stone table in the middle, there is a lamp on the stone table, I see some patterns on the table, but I can't see clearly, this stone table is some years, and there are several stone benches around the table.

Under the wall of the cave in the back, there was a stone bed, which was empty, and on the stone bench sat a man with his back to him. This person's hair is very long, part of it has reached the ground, and he is wearing clothes that I don't know whether it is fur or fabric, emitting a strange smell, I guess he hasn't taken a bath for a long time, like a beggar.

Seeing this, Xu Fu's heart sank suddenly, and there was despair in his eyes, and then he said in his heart: "Can such a person have the elixir of life?" He's kidding me? ”

Xu Fu's face was a little angry, and then he said, "You are the Great Immortal?" Where did those thousands of people go last night? Just the way you look, you're fooling me, aren't you? ”

The man combed his long hair with his right hand, and then said slowly: "I, the great immortal in your mouth, can make you immortal, as for those thousands of people, don't you want to honor me?" I took it all! ”

Xu Fu collapsed on the ground all of a sudden, and then knelt on the ground, with horror in his eyes: "Daxian ate them all?" Can you eat people? ”

The great immortal laughed and said, "I won't eat you and other mortals!" I just drank their blood and threw the corpses under the abyss to feed the big fish! You ants are really vulnerable, and if you play lightly, you will die, and the blood will be cold, and it will not taste good! ”

Daxian continued: "Don't worry, I won't kill you, I will give you the elixir!" Are you sure you won't regret it? ”

Xu Fu smiled, smiled very happily, with some impatience in his eyes, and then said: "As long as you can save me, I won't regret it!" ”

Daxian stood up from the stool, slowly turned around, and looked at Xu He, he finally saw Daxian's true face of Lushan. His face was dirty, and in the dim light, he couldn't tell what it looked like. Daxian looked serious and said, "Don't tell anyone about tonight, otherwise I will take back your immortality and let your soul fly away." Don't come here again in the future, make your own choices today! ”

Daisen beckoned to him and motioned for him to come over. Seeing this, he immediately crawled over like a dog. Daxian opened his lips, revealing his long tiger teeth, and bit down on his neck. He screamed a few times and fainted in pain. Daxian smiled: "A little pain will make you faint, it's really a mortal body!" ”
