Speaking of which, that was three years ago. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At that time, Qin Shi Huang's desire to pursue immortality was at its peak, and he recruited a large number of monks to collect thaumaturgical exotic recipes for him.

In fact, under the conditions at that time, it was not a comfortable thing for the emperor to go far away, on the one hand, it was inevitable that the boat and car were tired, the wind and rain, and even sleeping in the wild, and there were also things of robbers and beasts; On the other hand, along the way, it is always nominally necessary to inspect the administration of officials and rectify local government affairs, which is definitely not an easy task in itself!

The old family of Qin is located in the Guanzhong region, which is now the area of Shaanxi, and if you travel eastward, most of the territories you pass through are the territories of the original six countries, although these places have newly built counties after unification, but for many unavoidable reasons, the magistrates who have been established are basically the overlords who were originally entrenched in one side, these people originally lived like the king of a small country, but now they have to suddenly accept the management and suppression of the imperial court, and naturally it takes time to adapt, and they naturally dare not make times in major events. It is also not uncommon for disobedience and non-cooperation to be in small matters.

Mo Yan's owner, the county guard of Hedong, is actually the same situation. Because he was armed in his hands, had a huge talent pool of customers, and had the financial resources of a country that was rich and rivaled, he had considerable initiative in the process of accepting the integration and negotiating with the imperial court at that time. The only shortcoming is that Du Chunjun is indecisive and lacks courage, if it weren't for Mo Yan's support from the side to help him fight for his rights, he would not have been able to easily become a county guard later, except for turning his army underground, basically nothing weakened.

But if the heads of these counties and counties just don't pay attention to the emperor's arrival and inspection, it doesn't matter, among them were former subordinates of the Six Kingdoms, had some festivals with Qiang Qin, and even secretly plotted to reincarnate the mother country, there are many people! After mastering the whereabouts of the emperor, he took the opportunity of the parade to secretly send people to assassinate him from time to time, so it can really be said that Ying Zheng's trip to the east is really dangerous, and he is gambling with his life!

This year, it was just in time for the emperor's third eastern tour, but this tour has changed a lot from the past, the most obvious is that all the magistrates only learned that the emperor had left Xianyang, but did not know where he went.

With such a big event as the Eastern Tour, the emperor may make major political arrangements at any time on the way, and not being able to grasp the key information in it will of course make everyone restless. As soon as the six gods and ownerless county guards returned to the mansion and told a few henchmen about the situation, Mo Yan immediately asked to go north to find out the matter, and insisted on not taking anyone with him except for Zuo Ji, so the two of them immediately set off and went straight to the north.

When he was walking on the road, he asked Mo Yan, "Does Childe know where to go?" ”

"Jiaodong." Mo Yan replied.

Huge Ji was greatly surprised, and asked, "How did Childe know?" ”

"The emperor's trip this time should be to finish the things that were not done last year."

"What happened last year? I remember that last year, the emperor started from Xianyang, went northeast through my Hedong, passed through Handan, Jibei, Linzi, went to Jiaodong to worship the sea, and then turned to Nanyang and Surabaya, and went back after a big circle? Are you going to Jiaodong this year? What's unfinished? How does Childe know that he hasn't finished anything? ”

“…… You have too many questions. Mo Yan frowned.

"I'm sorry, Childe ......" Ji Ji shrunk his neck and snorted.

After a long time, Mo Yan explained: "The emperor has done a lot of things along the way, but the most important goal has not been achieved, that is, he has not found a good way to live forever. Less than a year later, it came out in a hurry, and there must have been some progress. ”

Ji didn't dare to ask questions easily, but a pair of big eyes flashed and stared straight at Mo Yan, obviously full of questions in his heart.

Mo Yan had no choice but to sigh, and said: "Last year, the sea sacrifice by the East China Sea was actually not completed, and Fang Shi Yueyu, who sent the sea, returned, saying that he was attacked by the waves and strange fish, and he could not reach the Immortal Mountain, and he needed to think of another countermeasure. Now it seems that he has already come up with a countermeasure and intends to complete this ceremony. ”

Ji suddenly realized, nodded again and again, and then asked: "Does Childe think that you can find the recipe for immortality by going to the East China Sea?" ”

Mo Yan looked forward from afar, and after being silent for a long time, he said: "The so-called immortality is actually just a beginning. ”

Zuo Ji was stunned when he heard it, he didn't seem to understand, but he didn't delve into it, just following his son out to travel around was enough to make him excited.

The two were not in a hurry to go, they inquired all the way, Mo Yan's actions were arranged, and Ji only ordered and forbidden, the two cooperated very tacitly, and within half a month, they had arrived in Yi County, which was subordinate to Jiaodong County, and stayed in a small village called "Zhizhou" near the mountains and facing the sea.

The scenery around this village is extremely beautiful, and it is close to the sea, Mo Yan arrived here, he only cared about mixing with the villagers, and followed them to learn to weave nets, repair boats, go out to sea to fish, and live a life like fishermen.

When he finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked if the emperor would really come here, Mo Yan simply replied to him with two words: "Soon." ”

Sure enough, on the second day, Ji saw several elderly stewards in the village start to run around and tell each other, saying that the government had sent someone to inform them, and that a sea sacrifice ceremony would be held in three days, so that the village could prepare goods and manpower for requisition.

This incident has already been disturbed once last year, and of course everyone is no longer flustered, but the originally peaceful days have been disturbed again, and they seem a little anxious.

Three days came quickly, and early in the morning, Ru Ji followed Mo Yan to the location of the altar of the sea god three miles away, because a lot of troops had been arranged around, and the two of them could only stand on the periphery and look over there from a distance. In the middle of this scene, you can see that the so-called altar is at the bottom of dozens of small boats in shallow water, densely covered with wooden planks, and then built vertically and horizontally with logs to form a high platform, there are people holding magic weapons and runes to protect them in all directions, there are several cases in front, and some people are standing in front of the case to compare and draw, burning incense and praying, as if they are preparing.

And looking at the sea, I saw that more than a dozen large ships had been neatly parked in the offshore sea, and I couldn't see the details clearly in the morning fog, but I could see the huge outline, which was very spectacular!

"Huh? Did Childe hear any strange sounds? Zuo Ji was looking at the excitement, and suddenly turned his head to ask Mo Yan.

Mo Yan's face was solemn, his eyes went straight to the big ship in the sea, and he replied, "That's ...... The cry of a child. (To be continued.) )
