Chapter 46: The Immortals' Journey to the East
Langya County.
The ancient Langya platform still stands by the sea, after nearly 500 years of wind and rain, the originally flat Langya platform has begun to collapse, the middle part has been eroded and sunken by rainwater, and is covered by plants.
From a distance, it no longer looks like a high platform, but like two ordinary dirt mountains side by side.
Langya Terrace is bordered by the sea on three sides, and only one side is connected to the land. It is rumored that Langya Tai is cast by ancient gods, and then there is King Yue Goujian to rest, and the stone is used to remember the merit. After that, there is Taigongwang to worship the god of the four seasons here.
Now, the stone of the Yue King Goujian is gone, and the bronze flag left by Taigongwang when he worships the god of the four seasons has also disappeared.
Only the waves of the East China Sea remain, year after year, day after day, and they remain unchanged for eternity.
This is the so-called land of the gods, and it is not allowed to be on the stage unless it is sacrificed to heaven and earth.
And if you think of Langyatai's praise, if you don't destroy the enemy country, you are not qualified.
Therefore, since the worship of Taigongwang, Langya Terrace has been abandoned for hundreds of years.
However, at this moment, on the Langya platform, which has not been set foot on for hundreds of years, there is a young man with a wide robe and big sleeves.
The young man stood quietly at the top of the Langyu platform, the sea breeze passing by him, his big sleeves fluttering, as if he was going to float away with the sea breeze in the next second.
This young man is none other than Qin Tian.
It had been seven days since he left Yunmeng Mountain.
Seven days spanning more than 2,000 miles, if it were for the Qin people, it was undoubtedly unattainable. However, for Qin Tian, it was a trip to the mountains and rivers.
Had it not been for the delay on the road, he would have been able to arrive in two days at most.
The journey of more than two thousand miles did not make Qin Tian have any tired or other expressions on his face, and he quietly stared at Langya under the stage.
After a long time, he finally sighed and spoke.
"The so-called unity of heaven and man, although there are only four simple words, there are endless mysteries hidden in it."
His gaze fell on the two groups of ant-like people under the Langya stage.
Langyu Terrace is built on Langya Mountain, and the people who look down at the ground from the top of the platform are indeed as small as ants. But ants don't just have a visual meaning, they also have other meanings.
One of the two swarms of ants has a slightly larger group, numbering in the thousands. These people were lining up on the ground like ants, carrying stones, and there were soldiers watching along the way, and the sound of scolding was heard even on the Langya platform.
This is in vain, under the supervision of the soldiers, building the stone road under the Langya platform.
In ancient times, there was a lack of instruments and tools, even iron tools. The stones on the backs of the envy disciples were also 100 catties in size, and they were like ants, struggling to carry their burdens.
From time to time, there were envy disciples who lost their balance because of lack of strength, or because they were dizzy from the sun, and they were crushed to the ground by the stones, and blood was splashed.
The only reaction of the guards was to order the rest of the soldiers to continue to carry the bloody stone forward.
Qin Tian shook his head slightly, and his gaze fell on the other small group of ants.
The size of this group of people is far less than those who are envious, and they are not young and strong, and at a glance, they are either white-headed old men or drooping young children.
At this time, they were kneeling on the ground reverently and sadly, and they were worshipping respectfully to Langyatai.
This is a prayer for rain.
Although Langya County is located by the sea, it is short of water all year round.
This is not due to the scarcity of rainfall, but the perennial influence of the sea tide in Langya County, the fields are often invaded by salinity, and the yield is damaged. Therefore, every year, with the spring rain, all the fields are soaked to wash salt.
However, this spring, Langya County suffered from a severe drought, and the salt washing could not be carried out, and at the moment it was impossible to even sow seeds.
Originally, this was nothing, Langya planted millet, and millet was originally sown at the turn of spring and summer. If there is a drought in the spring, the people will be immediately dispatched to repair the canal and divert water from the Yishui to irrigate it. Although the salt washing process is still not carried out, and the reduction of production is a foregone conclusion, it is not as it is now, and even sowing seeds cannot be done.
"The great changes in heaven and earth are not just changes in the climate, but also in the chaos of people's hearts!"
"This, complement each other!"
Qin Tian shook his head slightly.
The drought in Langya County is a natural and man-made disaster.
As a traverser, Qin Tian knew that in the history of China, there were three famous Xiaoice periods.
Three Kingdoms, the end of the Song Dynasty, the end of the Ming Dynasty!
Needless to say, the Three Kingdoms are also a great dispute in the world. At the end of the Song Dynasty and the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was the alien race that went south and set foot on the Central Plains.
The Qin period is the beginning of the Xiaoice period, when the climate is unusually warm, and can even be described as hot.
The drought in Langya County this year is because of this incident, the drought in Langya County will be flooded in the south of the Yangtze River.
Langya County did not repair the canals, so it was impossible to sow seeds. The reason why the people of Langya County did not go to rest the canal was because they were young and strong, and the stone road was being built at this time.
This stone road was obviously prepared for the first emperor Langyatai to praise his merits, just to welcome the arrival of the first emperor.
In addition to this stone road, a new palace was also built in Langya County, which was naturally to prepare for the first emperor's stay!
However, it is not possible to criticize the First Emperor for going on patrol, after all, Qin Tian has seen a lot of chaos along the way.
It has only been eight years since Qin unified the world, and eight years has not been able to completely bring the people of the Six Kingdoms to their hearts. Not to mention Great Qin, even the future generations will not be able to do it in such a short period of time.
At this moment, although the world is full of Qin officials, these Qin officials who are from meritorious people in the army are uneven.
There are generous and benevolent people such as Lingwu, regard the Chu people as people, and personally lead the people in the countryside of Chu to open up Qianmo, plant mulberry hemp, and preach and educate, so the Chu people in Yunmeng County return to their hearts.
There are also mean and cruel people, who regard the people under their rule as enemies, and the villagers have to apply in advance to go up the mountain to collect firewood, and when they encounter more words on the road, they suspect that the other party is plotting to rebel and torture them.
And the first emperor toured all the way east, dismissed these cool officials all the way, redressed the wrongs, and everywhere he went, there was a sign of great rule.
However, even if the First Emperor took the opportunity of the Eastern Tour to inspect the world, if this continued, the collapse of Qin would not be spared.
Just because, in the era of the end of the law, not only the laws of heaven and earth are chaotic, but the world is also ruined!
In the Qin period, there were embezzlers for the first time, and corruption was rampant, and the highest one had already mixed into the position of prime minister.
It was Li Si who was building a palace for the first emperor in Langya County at this time.
And history proves that the more the last days, the more embezzlers there are. The reason for this is because people are uneasy.
"When the people are in turmoil, it may make Langya County have no harvest, and the people's hearts may be chaotic. However, the first emperor praised his merits, traveled the world, and could calm the heart of the world. ”
"This Langya, it's hard to say that it's a blessing or a curse."
"That's it."
Qin Tian's face regained his composure.
He studied liberal arts before he crossed over, and he read a stomach full of historical knowledge, and he couldn't help but use it to confirm it at this time.
But it's just a sigh, after all, his identity is already different.
"Since I am already a person from outside the world, don't worry about the First Emperor."
"But here, it seems that there is something I am looking for."
His gaze fell on the Langya platform, the villagers who begged for rain.
Asking for rain requires sacrificing heaven and earth, and sacrificing heaven and earth requires three animals.
The villagers are not qualified to use the three animals of ritual and religion, and can only replace them with other things.
And Qin Tian was interested in their sacrifices.
It was a small snake.
A snow-white snake!
