The sun is coming in the west.

Dream of Mt. Kinabalu.

Immortal throws.

Capture the Beast.

Xu Shi's few short sentences directly brought the whole thing into a mysterious and unpredictable atmosphere.

And in this ancient pre-Qin era, this kind of supernatural statement is very popular, and it is far more acceptable than talking about scientific principles.

Of course, the most important thing is that basically none of the many ministers of Qin present have ever been to the seashore.

They grew up among the mountains and rivers of the mainland, and were accustomed to seeing the scene of high mountains and steep mountains and fertile plains, but they had never seen such a unique island scenery in front of them.

As far as the eye can see, the island is surrounded by vast and mighty waters, and the sea and sky are endless.

The salty smell of the sea breeze blows and pours into their noses, and from time to time there are gulls and birds in the sky that have never been seen before, and the strange beast in the pond in front of them creates an atmosphere like a fairyland.

Such a scene adds credibility to Xu's words.

This is the reason why the Immortal Sect must persuade the First Emperor to come to Zhifu Island.

Just boasting about the immortal elixir of Xianshan in Xianyang City, after all, it is unfounded, and it is difficult for the emperor to believe it.

Only when you get to the islands off the coast, with the addition of the environment, can you increase the convincing power of the ethereal fairyland in the mouth of the alchemist.

Sure enough, among the ministers who followed, there were already people who really believed Xu Shi's words.

"Immortals trust dreams, this is to let Fang Shi make a special trip to offer strange beasts to the emperor!"

Zhisu Neishi Wang Wu rushed to the front line, and immediately said to the First Emperor: "Your Majesty, this strange beast He Luoyu is a gift from overseas immortals to congratulate Your Majesty on the success of Feng Zen and to thank the Dream Fangshi. His Majesty's exploits seem to be already well-known in the ears of overseas immortals! ”

As soon as Wang Wu opened his mouth, he brought the rhythm of sycophancy.

The rest of the important ministers such as Kui Xiang, Wang Xuan, and Li Si, whether they believe it or not, can only follow the compliments.

Perhaps alarmed by the compliments of the ministers, the He Luoyu lying on the bottom of the pond actually moved, and the ten "bodies" shook and swam in a strange posture.

"It's moving, Heluoyu is moving!"

Hu Hai shouted in surprise, he didn't care about the sycophants of the important ministers, and all his thoughts were on this rare beast in the sea.

The First Emperor stood on the edge of the pond, his eyes fixed on the He Luo fish moving in a strange posture in the pond, and there were bursts of compliments in his ears calling the gifts of the immortals.

This made his original suspicion of overseas immortals begin to change.

"The scenery of the island is really very different from the mountains and rivers in the mainland, and there are such strange beasts in the world. Maybe the immortals really exist, and what these alchemists said is true. Immortal Mountain, Immortal, Immortal Elixir ......"

The First Emperor's breathing began to rapid.

What the alchemists said was true, then his dream of immortality could come true.

He will become a sun that never sets, shining on the land of Great Qin forever.

Seeing the first emperor's expression, all the scholars were overjoyed.

Xu Shi took the opportunity to bow forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that there are three divine mountains in the sea, called Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou, which are inhabited by immortals, and there are immortal elixirs, which can make people immortal. Today, the immortals gave strange beasts to His Majesty, which is actually a gesture of goodwill. Please fast, go to the sea with the boys and women, or ask for the medicine of immortality for your majesty. ”

Lu Sheng, Han Zhong and Shi Sheng showed joy on their faces, this Xu Shi is really good, he knows the skill of striking while the iron is hot, and now he wants to take advantage of the shock brought by He Luoyu to take down Qin Shihuang in one go.

fasting, and going to the sea with boys and girls to seek the elixir of immortality.

The First Emperor's face moved slightly, and he seemed to be somewhat persuaded by Xu Shi.

Seeing that Fang Shi took advantage of the situation to attack the emperor's heart, Zhao Tuo knew that he couldn't wait any longer, and he had to stop it.

Xu Shi is the first fraudster in the Qin Dynasty, and now he dares to commit a crime in front of him Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo took a step forward and said directly: "Your Majesty, the ministers heard that the overseas immortal mountains are ethereal and difficult to find, and in the past, Qi Wei, Qi Xuan, Yan Zhao and other kings have sent people into the sea to search for immortals, but they have nothing to gain. Now although there are immortals with strange beasts to give, but there is no intention to give immortal medicine, if you spend a lot of time to send people into the sea to ask for immortal medicine, but in the end there is no gain, in addition to the empty consumption of financial resources, will not let Your Majesty down? ”

Hearing Zhao Tuo's words, Xu Shi, Lu Sheng and others changed color in unison.

Xu Shi glanced at Zhao Tuo, and from his clothes and age, he roughly guessed Zhao Tuo's identity.

He bowed his hand to Zhao Tuo and said, "What the prince said is false. His Majesty has unified the sea, and his merits have been crowned in ancient and modern times, and now he has sealed Zen and told the heavens, how can King Qi Wei, King Yan Zhao and others be compared. Since the immortals gave away strange beasts, it is impossible to say that it is a signal to His Majesty to send people into the sea to seek immortals, if they give up, but in the end they lose the opportunity to obtain the elixir of immortality, wouldn't it be a pity? ”

The First Emperor nodded.

What Xu Shi said was right, although King Qi Wei and King Yan Zhao were known as virtuous monarchs, how could they be compared with him, the number one emperor in the world, and the treatment given by the immortals would naturally be different.

Of course, the most important thing is that the First Emperor did not want to give up this opportunity to live forever.

Seeing the expression of the First Emperor, Zhao Tuo could only sigh secretly in his heart, and simply took out the second set of backup plans.

He said: "There are often fairyland wonders on the seashore, which are done by immortals to show the world the wonders of the fairy mountain. Now that His Majesty has come to Zhifu, he also has the intention of seeing fairyland. If the immortals intend to give medicine to His Majesty, they should show it to the wonders of the fairyland on this Zhifu Island, instead of conveying it through the alchemists. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Shi's expression changed suddenly.

As an old oilman who grew up on the seaside, he naturally knows that the wonders of fairyland are things that can be encountered but not sought, and many times you make a special trip to wait for the wonders of fairyland, and you can't wait for a few years.

But he really couldn't refute it, after all, the monks had already connected the wonders of the fairyland with the immortals, which was a point that could not be refuted.

Seeing Xu Shi's expression, Zhao Tuo smiled secretly in his heart.

He didn't say in public that the search for immortals was fake, after all, it was a legend that had been circulated for hundreds of years, and the kings of Yan and Qi came to endorse it, and it was in line with the values and worldview of this era.

If Zhao Tuo said it was false, then he would be against all the superstitious people in the world.

Fighting 10,000 people with one person is not the art of war.

That is far better than borrowing strength, so Zhao Tuo chose to use Fangshi's theory to deal with Fangshi, which undoubtedly saves a lot of worry and effort.

Although it is the summer season, this Zhifu Island is full of water vapor, which meets the conditions for the appearance of mirages, but if you want to deliberately pursue it, it is simply more difficult, and the odds feel smaller than winning the lottery.

At this time, Ziying also assisted Zhao Tuo, and he said: "The minister thinks what the prince said is very true. Your Majesty is the most noble person in the world, if the immortal really has the intention of giving medicine, it should be displayed in front of His Majesty with the wonders of the fairyland, as a token, why should it be said through the words of the monks, Your Majesty is better to wait for the fairyland to appear, and then look at the meaning of the immortals. ”

The First Emperor's jaw.

What Zhao Tuo and Ziying said makes sense.

"If the immortals really intend to give me medicine, let me see the fairyland with my own eyes."

In the ugly faces of the people, the first emperor made a decision and agreed with Zhao Tuo's statement.

This was the last test of the emperor.

If there is really a wonderland of fairyland on Zhifu Island and let him witness it with his own eyes, then he will no longer have any doubts about the search for immortals.

"Why did Wugong Hou do this?"

Lu Sheng bit his lip and looked at Zhao Tuo with a complicated face.

As for Xu Shi, his eyes were about to erupt with fire.

He's going to succeed!

According to the situation just now, he could immediately persuade the emperor to make the emperor pay for him to take thousands of boys and girls to go overseas to find immortals!

As a result, seeing that the big thing was about to happen, he was intercepted halfway by this martial arts marquis, which was really about to anger him Xu Shi.

Zhao Tuo ignored these monks, and after breaking Xu Shi's dream of seeking immortals with a few words, he was in a good mood, and his eyes fell on He Luoyu in the pond in front of him.

Goo-dong.

Zhao Tuo swallowed again.

"Your Majesty, since this He Luo fish is a gift from the immortals, it should be edible, maybe it is the ingredients given to Your Majesty by the immortals, and it should not be wasted."

The ministers were shocked.

This martial arts marquis actually wanted to eat this strange beast He Luo fish.

"He Luo fish is so rare, why do you eat it."

Hu Hai shouted and said, "It's better to take it back to Guanzhong and raise it, so that my father can see it every day." ”

Zhao Tuo said with a smile: "This thing is a sea beast, it needs seawater to survive, and Guan Zhongan can raise it." ”

Wang Juan also said at this time: "This He Luo fish is indeed edible, if I remember correctly, it is said that if you can eat its meat, it can also cure carbuncles." ”

The First Emperor waved his hand.

"If that's the case, then eat it, and I and Zhuqing should taste the taste of this strange beast."

Hu Hai's mouth pursed.

"Historical Records: Qin Shi Huang Benji": Qi people Xu Shi and other books, there are three sacred mountains in the sea of words, called Penglai, abbot, Yingzhou, immortals dwell. Fast, and ask for it from the virgins and boys.
