Chapter 42: The Legend of the First Emperor (Part II)
After listening to the miracle of the mountain priest, Yudong talked about the mystery of the sun-fixing needle.
The stone bridge in the East China Sea in Qin Shi Huang's dream is no longer short of raw materials, because he can "drive" the mountains and rocks from all directions to the junction of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea with a mountain drive.
But the problem is that no matter how many mountains are driven here, they will eventually be swallowed by the bottomless water.
So, the second treasure given by the sea god, the heliostat needle, came in handy.
The sun-fixing needle looks like a delicate golden hairpin, so the Qin Emperor often wore it on his head. But it's this delicate little thing that has the terrifying power of a time-defying time. Even, it can set the mountains, seas, sun and moon to a certain moment!
With these two treasures, the construction of the divine bridge leading to Penglai Immortal Mountain in the East China Sea is just around the corner. The more Emperor Qin thought about it, the more excited he became, and he simply took matters into his own hands to complete this second act against the sky after the Great Wall.
Qin Shi Huang first separated the Yellow Bohai Sea with a whip, leaving a way to build a bridge. Then, the heliostat was used to freeze the turbulent sea, and the state of both seas was fixed at that moment. Finally, he waved the mountain priest again and drove the mountain to the sea.
In this way, the sea will no longer destroy his vast project of building bridges through the mountains.
Although the mythological color of these two treasures is too strong, everyone saw that Yudong and Moshang were so serious, so they didn't question the exorcist and the sunset needle.
And if you want to talk about Qin Zhen and Gu Jie today, they are definitely not people who have never seen the world. From the national wall of Kowloon Town to the eye of Shangri-La, those who should save zĂ i and those who should not save zĂ i. They've seen the possible, the impossible.
So, even if there is something here that can drive mountains and reclaim the sea, they won't make the same fuss as they did at the beginning. It's still incredible, but that's about it......
What's more, judging from the words and deeds of Yudong and Mosheng, it is not the first time they have heard of these two things. None of them have actually met, but they're certainly not strangers.
According to Moshang, the whip of the mountain drove the Qinchuan River for 800 miles, and the fixed day needle created the ancient project Dujiangyan. The exact time before and after these legends is uncertain. But the legend of these two treasures has long been spread to the people.
There are not a few people who know that King Qin drove the mountain whip. But no one knew where the artifact ended up.
Qin Shi Huang unified China, annexed the six countries, and then sought immortal medicine, which was a miraculous thing. In the process. He took advantage of the supreme position of kingship. It can be said that all the treasures of the world are in the bag. Even though this mountain whip is magical. But it's just one of them.
No one knows if these treasures have already been brought into the Mausoleum of the First Emperor by King Qin?
Almost all night was spent studying these inscriptions. Fortunately, they have finally gained a lot.
However, at this time, Qin Zhen still had another question in his heart. That's the thing about the bridge to heaven.
After thinking about it, Qin Zhen still asked Yudong and Mosheng, "Eh, I said...... Even if we believe in the legend of the Exorcist and the Needle of the Fixing the Sun, then Qin Shi Huang should have succeeded, right? The sea god also came out, and he got the baby, and Huang Bohai was split, so his bridge was ...... Why wasn't it built? In my impression, the old iron mountain should be the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula. Facing Penglai across the sea, the tip extends into the sea for dozens of miles. If you think of it as a cross-sea bridge that was stopped halfway through, it's not impossible. But since Qin Shi Huang wanted to build that bridge so much, why did he suddenly stop? â
Not to mention, this is also the question that Lao Gu wants to know the most. Because according to the previous statement of Yudong and Moshang, even Qin Chuan was "pumped" out by the Shan Duo, and Huang Bohai was also "split" by the Shan Duo, so what other reasons could there be that Qin Shi Huang's East China Sea Stone Bridge was not built in the end?
Mo Sheng squatted beside Yudong at this time, still looking at those ancient seal inscriptions, carefully studying the deep meaning. It seems that it is not easy to figure out the meaning of the words on the entire monument. After all, the age is too old, and the handwriting is too old and too blurry.
However, for Qin Zhen's doubts, Mo Sheng and Yu Dong naturally explained the reason for them.
It turned out that the reason why Qin Shi Huang did not build the East China Sea God Bridge was mostly because of his arrogance.
At that time, after the sea god gave Qin Shi Huang the sacred object of driving the mountain, he did not actually reveal his true body. But Qin Shi Huang really wanted to have more friendship with the "immortals", so he repeatedly invited the sea god to "go to the appointment".
Under the countless sincere and warm invitations of the First Emperor, the sea god finally agreed to meet Qin Shi Huang at the starting point of the mountain reclamation and the stone bridge that leads to the sky, that is, on the old iron mountain at the top of Liaodong today.
But...... The sea god still has a small request......
The request that is not a requirement is: "I am ugly, I am about to figure my shape, and I should meet with the emperor."
That is, the sea god said to Qin Shi Huang: "I am too ugly, so ugly that I don't want to look at myself, let alone go out to meet people." If you want me to see you, then we have to say it in advance, after you meet me, you will never be allowed to remember what I look like. If you can agree to that, I'll meet you. â
When Qin Shi Huang heard that he could finally meet the god of the sea, of course he was excited and agreed! It is estimated that he is also very curious, how ugly can this sea god be?
Finally, Qin Shi Huang took the two anti-heaven artifacts and took his retinue guards to set off from the place where Lao Tieshan entered the sea to meet the sea god.
Standing on the cliff of the steep cliff into the sea, below is the surging sea, and not far from the edge of the cliff stands the sea god who helped the first emperor drive the mountain and reclaim the sea.
After Qin Shi Huang saw the sea god, he realized that this sea god was indeed ugly...... He's so ugly that it's hard not to remember......
The appearance of the sea god is a form between a fish and a bird, and its ugly and strange appearance can be imagined.
Qin Shi Huang is probably also accustomed to seeing his height of more than one meter and eight meters, his majestic figure, and the appearance of an emperor with dragon eyes.
Now at first glance, looking at the strange appearance of the sea god Wang Yin, I suddenly feel that this immortal is too individual and too casual...... So much so that Qin Shi Huang felt that it was actually necessary to record his strange appearance...... After all, it's hard work in this world to find out how to grow like this.
So, Qin Shi Huang made a not-so-wise decision. He secretly glanced at his left and right subordinates, so that the skilled craftsmen accompanying him quietly drew the appearance of the sea god on the ground with their feet.
But that immortal is a fairy in the end, no matter how ugly he is, people are still immortals. The stupid and bold little actions of these ordinary people have of course been seen by the sea gods for a long time.
So the sea god was furious and said: "The emperor has made a promise, go quickly!" â
If you use Lao Gu's most straightforward, simple and crude way to express this sentence, that is: You/mother dare to lie to me! Get out of here!
Immediately afterwards, when the giant bridge collapsed, the stone pillars broke, and the landslide cracked, the two unlucky ghosts who stole the statue of the sea god were swept into the sea and ended up with no bones left.
Thankfully, Qin Shi Huang, under the protection of the guards on the left and right, finally reluctantly ran back to safety. Unfortunately, the Heliostat fell under the cape at the entrance to the sea in a hurry.
Because of this, the dividing line between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea has never been confused again. The Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea are clearly distinguished. One side is blue, and the other side is yellow, as if there is an invisible force, which fixed the scene of Qin Shi Huang driving mountains and splitting the sea.
Having lost the sun-fixing needle, Emperor Qin was annoyed. However, he knew that the bottomless "return to the ruins" under the demarcation line was unfathomable, and there was no possibility of recovering the heliostat needle. As a result, Emperor Qin had to give up the idea of building a stone bridge over the East China Sea in a depressed manner.
This time, I stole the statue of the sea god, offended the sea god, and lost the heliostat needle. In the end, except for the hiding of the Nine Tripods of the Kingdom, none of the other projects were successful. Emperor Qin felt that the gains outweighed the losses, and feared that the sea god would take back the mountain priest in anger, so he ordered people to hurry back to Jieshi.
Hearing this, Qin Zhen had almost guessed one or two of the things that followed. So he asked: "Qin Shi Huang hid the mountain whip in Jieshi??" â
Yu Dong nodded solemnly, and then he looked at Mo Sheng again, and said with a hint of guilt in his eyes: "You said that you would investigate the root cause, but we didn't do it...... Now it seems that Emperor Qin naturally took great pains to hide the Jiuding of the country. He knew that it was a heavy weapon of the town, so how could he be lightly obtained...... If you can't get the whip to catch the mountain, you won't be able to open the real line under the Yellow and Bohai Seas. Consequences of unauthorized action...... It shook the dragon vein, and the four seas were restless......"
Yu Dong's gaze was deep, and he could see that he was trying his best to maintain a perfect state. However, the records and clues on the stone mountain of Yu Suoji pushed him into the abyss of regret again.
Mo Sheng looked at Yu Dong like this, frowned, patted Yu Dong on the shoulder and said, "Don't forget what I told you, don't indulge in past mistakes." It's not too late for us to discover such important clues now. At least, this time you didn't directly take Qin Zhen and a few of them to Liaodong. If the clue is found, we are all still alive, and this is considered a success! Next, it depends on you to find the rock, find out the mountain whip, and be in good spirits! â
Yu Dong exhaled deeply, nodded, and turned to face the sea.
At this time, the sky was already a little cloudy. The sound of the waves is incessant, especially during such quiet times.
The inscription records that the stone appeared at sunrise. We are here, waiting to see what Emperor Qin saw at the beginning. Yudong said softly. (To be continued......)
PS: PS: The legend of the First Emperor is from the "Historical Records. Qin Shi Huang Benji", "Ten Continents", "Taiping Yulan" that is to say...... That Poseidon is really ugly......
