Chapter 661: Seeking immortals is better than cultivating immortals
"Outsiders say that Surabaya County has a genius."
"How come Naigong, a native of Surabaya, don't know about this?"
In Juchao County, Jiujiang County, in a small wooden house by the river, the bearded Liu Ji looked at the old man opposite while holding a bowl and putting rice in his mouth.
Fan Zeng was chewing a piece of fish meat in his mouth at this time, and when he heard Liu Ji's words, he spit out the thorny fish meat in his mouth, glared and said, "The old man borrowed you a book last time and asked you to study it well, but you used it when you left it." With your kind of goods, you can know something. ”
"Hey, Fan Gong's words are fallacious. I haven't forgotten to read the classics, doesn't this mean that I am eager to learn and work hard? How many people in the world can compare with me? It's just that I didn't have anything suitable at hand at that time, so I borrowed it for the time being. Fan Gong can rest assured that when I Liu Ji is developed in the future, I will pay you ten times or a hundred times! ”
Liu Ji held his head high and patted his chest, acting very arrogantly.
Fan Zeng listened to the familiar words and shook his head helplessly.
This Liu Ji is quite a scoundrel, and he is not easy to learn classics and books, but in fact, Fan Zeng got along with him and found that this person is very smart, can judge the situation when doing things, and often has his own unique views on many issues.
Sometimes Fan Zeng communicates with him, and what Liu Ji says can even make Fan Zeng gain something.
"The old man used to have some friendships with several big clans in the Chu State, and I once heard them say that more than thirty years ago, King Qin Zhao sent troops to destroy the Zhou family. The son of the king of Zhou was unwilling to surrender to Qin, and secretly took Yuzhou Ding, one of the nine tripods, to the east ·····."
In a few words, Fan Zeng told the story of Yuzhou Ding's sinking in Surabaya, and talked about the rumors from Surabaya County.
After Liu Ji listened, he couldn't help sneering and said: "Heh, what kind of genius, Surabaya Baoguang, the ghost cried in the middle of the night, I think this matter is instructed by someone behind." Maybe the Surabaya county guard wanted to take the opportunity of the emperor's eastern tour to take this Jiuding as an auspicious rui, so as to ask the emperor for credit.
"You're right, there are indeed people behind this."
Fan Zeng nodded in agreement.
But he didn't say the rest of the story.
According to his intelligence, it was not the Surabaya County Detention Center that was behind this incident, but someone else.
Don't look at Fan Zeng's old age now, when he was young, he was also a well-known figure in Chu, wandering around the mansions of the major nobles of Chu State, and had some friendships with Jing Zhao, Xiang Yan and other nobles of Chu State, and in the lower echelons of Chu State, he also made many friends with heroes and powerful heroes, and his connections were very broad.
It's just that later Fan Zeng saw that in the face of strong enemies, the Chu State was still in frequent civil strife, the monarch was mediocre, and the nobles only thought about arrogance and luxury, so he knew that the Chu State could not grow, so he simply lived in seclusion in the nest to be a fisherman to avoid disasters.
Although it is said to be a seclusion, with his reputation and connections, it is still easy to know something.
"Zhang Zifang, what do you want to do when you bring Emperor Qin to Surabaya?"
Zhifu Island is located in the easternmost coastal area of Jiaodong County.
Pengcheng, Surabaya County, belongs to the hometown of Western Chu in terms of geographical division, and the distance between the two is nearly 2,000 miles, and there are several counties in between.
This distance of nearly 2,000 miles, according to the speed of 40 miles a day, it will take almost 50 days, not to mention that the First Emperor is not only in a hurry, but this workaholic has to do the task of this trip together.
He sent the right prime minister to the east of Chengshan to worship the Lord of the Sun.
He and the ministers went all the way south, out of Jiaodong into Langya County, stayed in Langya for two days, and sacrificed to the Lord of the Four Seasons.
As for the other Qidi gods who were not on the way, the emperor also sent other ministers and important ministers to worship, so as to sacrifice all the eight main gods and leave no regrets.
Therefore, when the emperor's car drove all the way through Langya County and Donghai County and arrived in Surabaya County, it was already in the late autumn season
"Surabaya County······ I've been here several times. When the convoy officially entered the territory of Surabaya County, Zhao Tuo looked at the surrounding scenery and sighed a little.
This is the place where he broke out of Chu and defeated Zhaoping in a battle. It was also the place where he was ordered by Wang Jian to break through the 100,000 Qi army and make a detour into the hinterland of the Chu State.
Zhao Tuo went back and forth several times, either being chased by others, or beating people, naturally he came and went in a hurry, and he couldn't see much scenery, so he entered Surabaya County this time, and he was thinking about taking this opportunity to enjoy the scenery along the way, and it was not in vain to walk here many times.
However, at this time, it is common to welcome uninvited guests.
In the convoy, Fang Shi Lu Sheng, who had been entangled all the way, couldn't bear it anymore after all.
When the convoy stopped at a small town to rest, Lu Sheng finally made up his mind and got into Zhao Tuo's house.
"Duke Lu, please take a seat, I don't know what Duke Lu means here?"
In the face of Lu Sheng's visit, Zhao Tuo was not surprised, and even had a better attitude than when he was in Linzi before, and after inviting Lu Sheng to sit down, he also asked someone to bring slurry water.
Lu Sheng was a little flattered, after all, after experiencing the cold words of Zhao Tuo at the head of Linzi City, the other party suddenly became so enthusiastic, and his heart would naturally be a little warm.
He arched his hand and said: "The prince used to talk about immortals in Linzi City, so that the contemptible people heard about it, and the more I thought about it during this time, the better it became, so the contemptible people were brave, and I wanted to ask the prince for advice or two." ”
Seeing Lu Sheng's self-proclaimed "contemptible" attitude and his attitude was very humble, Zhao Tuo felt a sense of proportion in his heart.
He smiled and said: "Gong Lu is also a learned elder, let's communicate with each other, how to talk about the word "ask for advice." ”
"If so, the despicable man is presumptuous. I wonder if the prince had seen He Luoyu and the big fish in the sea before he accompanied the emperor to the east? ”
Lu Sheng's eyes were blazing, staring directly at Zhao Tuo.
When he was on Zhifu Island and going to sea by boat, he had observed Zhao Tuo for a long time, and judging from Zhao Tuo's expression and movements, this martial arts marquis would never be the first time he had seen those strange beasts in the sea.
Although Lu Sheng had a guess in his heart, it was impossible to ask Zhao Tuo directly, if you are an immortal, it would be too rude and stupid, you still have to knock on the side from these corners.
Hearing this, Zhao Tuo's face showed hesitation, and this hesitation made Lu Sheng even more convinced.
In the end, Zhao Tuo nodded and said, "I have indeed seen it." "Boom!
Lu Sheng swallowed hard, feeling his heartbeat getting more and more intense.
He asked cautiously: "He Luo fish is a rare species, and the big fish is a giant beast in the sea, I heard that when the prince attacked the Qi State before, he only led his troops to stop near Linzi, not near the sea, I don't know how to see this strange beast in the sea?" ”
Zhao Tuo looked at Lu Sheng, who was testing him, and felt a little funny in his heart.
This old man's observation is very strong, and he noticed his reaction at the beach, and went to find out if he had been to the beach before.
What should he say?
Do you have to say that you often ate sizzling squid in your previous life, and by the way, you eat it in hot pot?
As for whales in the sea, they are often put in the animal world.
Zhao Tuo didn't want to dwell too much on these issues, because he found that Lu Sheng did have some skills, strong observation, and fast brains. If Zhao Tuo follows his train of thought, it will inevitably reveal some flaws, and Zhao Tuo doesn't know what the current Lu Sheng's brain has become.
Talking is like a game, like leading troops to fight, you must take the initiative in your own hands and let the other party follow your own way of thinking.
Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "These little things, there is nothing to say. I guess Lu Gong came here, I'm afraid he wanted to ask me about the wonders of the fairyland when I was on Zhifu Island before, to stop Naxu City from searching for immortals, and to bring up the wonders of the fairyland? ”
Lu Sheng didn't expect Zhao Tuo to be so direct, so he had to nod.
Zhao Tuo said with a solemn face: "Then I only ask Duke Lu, you always say that you go to sea to find immortals, so if you can guarantee that the emperor supports you to go to sea, can you really find overseas immortal mountains?" ”
Lu Sheng's face was embarrassed, how could this thing be guaranteed.
He shook his head and said: "The immortal mountain is ethereal, we can only do our best, no one dares to say that we will definitely be able to find the immortal mountain." ”
Zhao Tuo sneered: "Qin Fa has words, if you don't test it, you will die." If you promised the emperor that he would go to sea to find the elixir, but in the end he didn't find it, what do you think the emperor would do to you? ”
This is not that Zhao Tuo deliberately scared Lu Sheng, in history, it was because these monks talked about refining medicine and seeking immortals, but nothing came out, which made the first emperor more and more impatient, they were afraid that the emperor would blame, and ran away after complaining, and then led to the famous "pit killing warlock".
Lu Sheng only wanted to gain the emperor's trust before, so that he could get the investment of this supreme person in the world.
Now that things have not succeeded, how can I think about the fate of the final immortal search for immortals, at this moment, Zhao Tuo said that Lu Sheng sweated on his forehead.
He stared at Zhao Tuo and said directly: "The prince is afraid that he has some contact with the immortals, please give me some advice." ”
Zhao Tuo was stunned, and immediately reacted, and his heart turned, and he was already thinking about it.
"Gong Lu knows that since the giants of the Longbo Kingdom fished out the giant ao of Tuodao in the past, causing the two immortal mountains of Daiyu and Yuanqiao to fall into the vast sea, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, the immortals have set up a sealing array near the remaining three immortal mountains to prohibit all mortal things from approaching."
"Therefore, even if Lu Gong and the others are funded by the emperor to go to sea, they will never be able to get close to the immortal mountain in their lifetime, let alone climb up to get the immortal medicine, and the immortals will not let anyone approach for safety. That's why I stopped you before, but I actually saved you! "Seal the Great Array!"
Lu Sheng's eyes widened, and he muttered this noun that he had never heard before, and he felt very shocked.
But after thinking about it, Lu Sheng felt that what Zhao Tuo said was true.
The Five Immortal Mountains have become the Three Immortal Mountains, and the immortals have suffered heavy losses, if they are not fools, they must all take precautions to prevent this kind of thing from happening again.
Thinking of this, Lu Sheng felt a little hopeless.
No wonder the saying of seeking immortals has been spread in the land of Yan and Qi for hundreds of years, and several kings have sent people to the sea to search for immortals, but they have nothing to gain, it turns out that it is because of this so-called sealing array.
Seeing Lu Sheng's expression, Zhao Tuo knew that his words had an effect.
He smiled: "So instead of going to sea to find immortals, it is better to cultivate immortals, if you can successfully cultivate immortals, you can still become immortals, live forever, and be free from now on." "Cultivating immortals?"
Lu Sheng was shocked, this was a very unfamiliar word to him.
He only heard the word "seeking immortals", how could he have ever heard of cultivating immortals.
Lu Sheng couldn't wait to ask, "Junhou, what is cultivating immortals?" ”
Zhao Tuo grinned, revealing a mouth full of white teeth.
"The way of cultivating immortals is the path of immortality that conquers the creation of heaven and earth, and invades the mystery of the sun and the moon. If it can be cultivated, it will become an immortal, jump out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements, and live with heaven and earth, and be free in the four seas. ”
"On the way of cultivating immortals, there are realms. For refining gas, building foundations, Jindan, and Yuanying ······"
"If you have mana in your body, you can even use Dao magic secret techniques. Calling for wind and rain, scattering beans into soldiers······"
As Zhao Tuo spit out words that did not belong to this era, Lu Sheng's eyes straightened, his whole body trembled, and all his thoughts seemed to have left his body.
"Cultivating Immortals······ I want to cultivate immortals... ...”
On this day, Lu Sheng, a famous immortal seeker in the Qin Dynasty, opened a door to the world of cultivating immortals in front of his eyes.
Some people died, but not completely......
