My uncle was really tired yesterday, and as soon as he finished telling us, he found a place to meet Zhou Gong. In the afternoon, my uncle gradually woke up, and we began to set off towards our next goal, the Hexi Corridor.

The next day, taking advantage of the cool weather in the morning, we rushed to the area of the Hexi Corridor early in the morning. Sitting in the car and looking from afar, I could even see the Qilian Mountains stretching in the distance. It's 10 days in summer, but you can still see the snow on top of the towering mountaintop. This Qilian Mountain is indeed a magical place, revealing a mysterious atmosphere everywhere.

"Uncle, where will we get off in a while?" The entire Hexi Corridor is still too big, we can't look for it aimlessly, it's really a headache.

"You don't have to worry about this, I already know it in my heart according to the clues left by Xu Fu, plus the situation I asked the innkeeper before. There is a small town in front, although it is not very prosperous, but in the Qin and Han dynasties, it was an important stronghold on the westward road, let's go over to see and find some information. ”

"Uncle, did Xu Fu say what they were doing here, wouldn't it be just an aimless tour." My uncle nodded at me.

Although Xu Fu also has various materials provided by Qin Shi Huang during his westward trip, the comparison is some old documents and historical materials, and no one knows whether it is accurate or not. So when Xu Fu led the team to the west, it was no different from a brand new journey. In this ancient China, all kinds of legends of immortality were circulating, and when Xu Fu really arrived in the Western Regions, he also heard a lot of such legends. ”

"You think that Xu Fu's mission to the west is to find the mystery of immortality for the First Emperor, when he hears this kind of legend, how can Xu Fu not give it a try." My uncle really makes sense when he says this, if it were me, if I could get the elixir of immortality at my doorstep, then why would I have to go so far to endure hardship. But there is another question that has been haunting my mind, so why not ask my uncle.

"Uncle, according to our previous inference, Xu Fu and Zhou Tong should have led someone to find the immortal medicine. But since the two of them suffered so much for the First Emperor, why didn't they send the immortal medicine back to the First Emperor. If you are afraid that the First Emperor will kill them, you can send someone else to send them back, so that they can save themselves and complete the task again. "I raised my confusion with my uncle, but I don't know what kind of answer my uncle will make.

"Xiaoyu, what you said is very reasonable, but the information we have now is not sufficient, and it is impossible to fully know the situation at that time. However, it is true that as you said, Zhou Tong and Xu Fu may have deceived Qin Shi Huang because they didn't want Qin Shi Huang to rule the world tyranny. But it is also possible that they deceived the First Emperor because they could not bring back the elixir of immortality for other reasons. What is the specific situation, we can only know the reason when we see Xu Fu. ”

When I saw Xu Fu, my uncle said this, but what he said was that my heart was suddenly gambling, and I almost forgot that Xu Fu might still exist in this world. I don't know what kind of state we will be in when we meet Xu Fu, as long as it is not a hostile relationship like Wei Ran.

We soon arrived at the town that my grandfather had spoken of, and on the outside of the town was still a layer of yellowish, reddish rammed-earth walls, which looked antique and seemed to have retained its original appearance. As we entered the town, there were no modern roads or houses, except for the occasional occasional old street lamp standing on the side of the road, with a somewhat blackened incandescent bulb hanging from it.

Although this city is not big, but there are a lot of people, we walked into the city, and gradually found that there are more modern buildings here, as well as several relatively large modern hotels and hotels, which seem to be prepared for people who travel to this town.

With so many modern facilities here, it won't be too hard for us to spend a few days here. I thought my uncle would take us to the better restaurant in the city for a meal first, but my uncle took us around the city. In the end, it stopped at the door of an old store called the Kansai Inn.

I've seen such a thing as an inn, a kind of existence that integrates eating and lodging. But I think this inn is a bit dilapidated, and no one eats in it at all. There is a door panel outside the door, it doesn't look like someone is opening a store at all, what is my uncle taking us here for?

"Uncle, what are we stopping here for, visiting the attractions?" I asked, puzzled.

"The style of this shop is from the Northern Song Dynasty, and the fact that it has existed for so many years shows that the family has preserved it very well. Those who have been able to live here for so many years must have a very good understanding of the local conditions, habits and customs. Let's go in and ask now, maybe we can stop by and have a full meal. "What my uncle said is not wrong, but I see that there is a door panel sandwiched between the outside here, and there is anyone inside.

My uncle went up and knocked on the door a few times, but there was no movement inside, it seems that my uncle guessed wrong this time. I turned around and wanted to leave, but my uncle was still standing there motionless, and there was no choice but to come back and continue to wait there. A few minutes later, footsteps could be heard from inside the door.

"It's coming, it's been a long time, no one has come, why are there so many guests today." The door opened, and a young man came out. The man is tall and thin, and he looks sad, is this the boss?

"Hello boss, are you still open?"

"It's open for business, whether you are playing or staying in the store." This boss is still talking about drama.

"Hit the tip first, then stay in the store." My uncle led us into this little shop. The inside of this shop is clean, and there are four tables of eight immortals in it, and I should have looked at it for some years, maybe it is still an antique. There are also a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the white wall next to it, which makes us feel as if we have really returned to the ancient inn.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the business of the small shop is not good now, and I am planning to redeem it. If you want to eat, please wait a moment and let me go out and buy some vegetables and prepare a meal for you. "The owner was quite polite, a few of us sat down to rest and the owner went out to prepare meals for us.

"Uncle, how did you see that there were people in this house just now?" I suddenly remembered this question, and I really don't know how my uncle saw it.

"It's very simple, you only see the dust on the door, but you don't see the dust on the window on the top of the little building. This means that there are people living here, but they just don't go out often. You still need to learn to observe your surroundings more in the future. "It's really a long time to know my uncle.

By this time, the owner had already returned with food.
