Ten years later.

In the hinterland of Changchun Prefecture, which was named by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, a heavily armed pioneer regiment was on the march.

This is Mexico.

The fleet led by Tong Taishi himself completed the great voyage across the Pacific Ocean seven years ago, and then set foot on the American continent in San Francisco Bay, and was worshipped as a god by the natives.

For the natives at this time, they can really be regarded as gods.

However, Tong Taishi was not a European colonist, he generously rewarded the indigenous chiefs with silk, sugar, and porcelain, and established the first base on the San Francisco Peninsula, leaving a detachment and some soldiers stationed there, and then led the main force to continue south along the coastline, leaving five smaller bases along the way.

Eventually, he arrived in Atapulco.

At this time, Mexico was in the midst of a barbarian invasion......

Well, in fact, it's all about the same, in short, at the end of the Toltec civilization, the Chichimecs and Aztecs are losing and retreating under the encroachment of the south, but they are still the main forces in this land. Perhaps Master Tong was more pleasing to them, and sent an army to help them easily defeat an enemy army, which was also regarded by them as a god descended from heaven, and then fully satisfied Master Tong's request. All the things that could be found and suspected on the sketches of the hand-drawn books of King Wei that he carried were all collected, including those that were not actually produced here, but they could also get them.

In the end, Master Tong completed his journey to seek immortal medicine in this way, and embarked on the return journey with all kinds of plant seeds, rare birds and beasts.

But seven bases remained.

What he didn't know was that just after he left, the soldiers left behind in these seven bases were all facing a terrible crisis.

for there was a plague among the natives around them.

The plague broke out around all the bases, and the natives died in large numbers, and for fear of being infected, the seven bases had to be closed, not daring to go out to exchange food, not daring to go to the nearby rivers to get water, and not allowing any natives to come near them. In short, in this way, he relied on fishing and digging wells and even rainwater in his own stronghold, and in this way, in panic and despair, he struggled to support the pioneer groups that had been waiting for a year to flock to the country.

And then it's fine.

The whalers are coming, the gold diggers are coming, the bird catchers are coming......

Birds are expensive.

"If only we could catch a multicolored macaw and bring it home, we'd be rich!"

Qin Feng, a member of the pioneer group who walked in the forest with a new-style flintlock pistol on his back, a cuirass, a helmet and a machete, said with a wistful expression.

Two hot businesses in the New World.

The first is coastal whaling, and the second is to go inland to catch rare birds and animals in search of exotic flowers and plants.

The latter was the main driving force to attract the pioneer group deep into the jungle, and in the pet market of the Great Song Dynasty, the prices of rare birds, animals, flowers and plants from the New World were often speculated to tens of thousands.

Last year, the first colorful macaw to reach the Great Song Dynasty was fried to a sky-high price of 100,000 yuan.

Countless people who dream of getting rich overnight, prepare their own equipment to join the adventure of the New World, as for the danger, it is not a big deal, after all, the number of those natives is already very small, and even if there is, they are treated as gods, respectfully, whatever they want, they do not hesitate to give it, and then a few rock candy can make them dance excitedly.

"You say this is really a fairy mountain?"

His companion Liu Gui said.

"King Wei said that this is the overseas immortal mountain in our ancient books, so what King Wei said can be false?"

Qin Feng said.

"But where have those immortals gone, not to mention that these natives are not like immortal qi nourishment, if the immortal qi is nourished like this, it will be ridiculous, they are not even as good as those natives in Nanyang, and the natives of Nanyang are not good enough to use stones as weapons."

Liu Gui said.

"That's the same, you can't even smelt iron, the Jurchens can smelt iron!"

Qin Feng also said with a puzzled expression.

Suddenly, there was a birdsong in the trees in front of him, and he instinctively raised his head, and then a flock of colorful birds flew through the trees, and he was stupid......

"Colorful macaws, all multicolored macaws!"

Liu Gui screamed like crazy.

The dozens of pioneers in the back all looked at the birds like crazy.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Feng came to his senses......

"Chase!"

He shouted.

Then he plunged headlong into the nearby forest, desperately running forward.

The birds were above them, as if they were deliberately teasing them, chirping and frolicking as they frolicked, and they chased them like crazy below, running wildly through the dense forest, cutting down the vines that stood in their way, and they did not know how long they had been chasing, and even ran away with their companions behind them. Suddenly, the birds landed on a small hill, and they rushed out of the forest, only to find that there were few trees around the hill, but it was covered with vines, like a huge hat clasped to the ground, and the birds were at the top.

Qin Feng hurriedly climbed up.

However, he was dragged by Liu Gui......

"What for?"

He asked, confused.

"I know where the immortals have gone!"

Liu Gui's eyes widened and he said with a shocked expression.

As he spoke, he pointed to the hill.

Qin Feng raised his head, woke up from his ecstasy, and looked at the direction of his finger......

"W-what is this?"

He then exclaimed, with the same shocked face.

It was not a hill at all, but a huge building, a building made of stone, like a mountain, only covered with vines and moss, which he did not recognize for a while, and now when he looked closely, there were even steps to the top......

"This is the immortal ascending platform, the immortals have all soared, and the immortals have abandoned this place, so these natives are like this."

Liu Gui said with certainty.

Then he looked behind him and saw that his companion had not yet followed.

"Do you want to have a great fortune?"

He said mysteriously.

"What do you mean?"

Qin Feng asked.

"Didn't you say that the emperor should let King Wei sit? But the emperor doesn't give in, and the king of Wei doesn't mean it, even if we ordinary people want to, it's useless, but if the immortals leave any miracles, and the will of heaven wants to let the emperor give the throne to the king of Wei, can this emperor still disobey the will of heaven? Let's go, let's go to the top of Shengxiantai and carve something for them, and then we will go back and say that this is the will of God. ”

Liu Gui said.

"What's the use of our engraving, you can see the new engraving at a glance."

"You are stupid, we have to go back for a year, and the court will send someone to inspect it for another year, and in two years, the climate of this place has long been covered in moss, and those who inspect it are not ignorant, even if they see that it may be newly engraved, will they still be exposed? Let's go, hurry up, you are highly educated, teach me how to write like a fairy. ”

Liu Gui pulled Qin Feng up the steps of the Sun Pyramid with an excited face......
