Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Chapter 3 Thousands of Birds Hold Their Nests!But are there really gods?
The mountain road was winding, and Meng Tian took the lead and rode his horse forward.

Magistrate Wu guessed right, Meng Tian was already furious!

Ever since Meng Tian's grandfather, the Meng family joined Qin from the state of Qi, they have been reused by successive kings of Qin.

The ancestor worshiped the general and became the minister.My father worships the general and is the minister.When he arrived in Mengtian, he also worshiped the general and became the minister!

For such a great kindness, Meng Tian would be a fan in repayment!
For this reason, after he destroyed Qi, he went north non-stop to resist the Xiongnu, chased and drove the Huns between the grasslands and deserts for several years, recovered the land for more than [-] miles, and took over the land of Henan.

The next time, they drove the captives and criminals to build the Great Wall. According to the terrain, they gained more than [-] miles from the city.

Then the Qin Straight Road was built, connecting Jiuyuan County to Xianyang, with a total length of [-] miles, in preparation for the First Emperor's inspection of the north.

However, the Qin Zhidao, which was built with great pains, was finally built near Xianyang, only a few dozen miles away, but it was blocked by several temples!

These temples are part of the 270 temples built by the first emperor in response to what the alchemists said.

If you want to make a detour, not to mention that you have lost the original intention of the straight road, the group of temples covering hundreds of miles just happened to be stuck on the main road of Lishan Mountain. If you want to go around, you may have to go around more than [-] miles.

When the army sets off, the infantry can only march one camp a day, which is thirty miles.A detour of more than [-] miles means that if there is a war in northern Xinjiang, the army will set out from Xianyang and walk for thirteen days before leaving Xianyang less than [-] miles away!
How could military matters be so ridiculous!
Reluctantly, he returned to the court to repay the first emperor, but happened to meet the first emperor looking for someone to test the medicine. Meng Tian was favored by the king, so he was naturally unwilling to be left behind.It's a pity that he returned to the court in a hurry and did not fast and pray, so Zhao Shuan took his place.

Originally, Meng Tian was still lamenting the loss of such an eternal honor as the First Emperor. He never expected that Zhao Shuai, one of the nine noble ministers, would actually bleed from his facial features and die from intestinal rupture!

The same is true for the other 29 people who tested the drug!
The First Emperor was frightened and angry, so he gave Zhao Shuai a special gift. He heard that his son Gao was sent to the hidden palace for his mother's crimes and was tortured with mutilation.The First Emperor ignored Gao Nai's punishment and granted him the title of Chefu Order!

Afterwards, the First Emperor ordered Da Suo Tian Xia, a general above Meng Tian, ​​to volunteer.

Feeling his sincerity, the First Emperor specially ordered Meng Tian to lead three thousand troops, with his son Fusu as the deputy second supervisor, and set out from Xianyang, vowing to kill all the soldiers in the world.

Meng Tian crossed the Han River in Nanyang County and entered Nanjun County.

Because Yunmengze was densely covered with water and the roads were winding, making it difficult for cavalry to move, Meng Tian asked his son Fusu to sit in Jiangling County, the seat of Nanjun, and command the army.He led a hundred infantry to attack Yunmeng County.

As a general in charge of the army, Meng Tian, ​​who had fought hard at the border for nearly ten years and killed many people, never believed in ghosts and gods!
Since the first emperor ordered that anyone in the world who dared to be called an alchemist should die, then...

Meng Tian swears that there will be no more alchemists in this world!

……

The mountain road is deep and winding, and the mountains are filled with fog.

This place has already entered Yunmeng Lake, Yunmeng Lake is steaming and rosy, and the fog on the mountain is much thicker than other places, and only a vague shadow can be seen after more than ten steps.

Meng Tian has returned to the center of the team.Although the war horse under his crotch is a rare good horse and tall, it is more suitable for charging into the battle.In this kind of mountain forest with towering trees and dense vines, it is certainly not as good as the ordinary war horses ridden by the guards.

And the guards didn't have any reason to let him, a general, rush first.

A soft "Hey" sound suddenly sounded, and the orderly sound of horseshoes began to be chaotic, and then the two vanguard guards slowed down, and a voice came softly from the front: "General, there seems to be something strange here!"

There was suspicion in the voice of the guard, and Meng Tian also slowed down his horse: "What's wrong? But there are enemies?"

"No trace of the enemy has been found," the guard's voice was obviously confused, and he continued hesitatingly, "General, there are so many birds here, it's very strange!"

Meng Tian was slightly taken aback.

The personal guards around him are all selected brave soldiers in the army, braving the sky and arrows to charge into battle.How could he be frightened by a mere bird?

He lightly rode his horse forward and walked behind the vanguard's personal guard. The next moment he frowned suddenly.

I saw two personal guards stationed at the mountain pass, hesitating.

And more than ten feet in front of the two of them, there is a thick old tree, and the tree is full of birds. At a glance, there may not be less than a thousand birds.

These birds come in different sizes and have different feather colors, but they don’t fight or sing. They jump around in the trees, as if they are looking for something.

Meng Tian was slightly unhappy.He and these personal guards are all Qin people, and they have never seen so many birds quietly falling on a tree.But there are many birds, which is a signal of safety here.

"It's just a tree and a bird, what's there to be afraid of?" He reprimanded coldly.

The two bodyguards suddenly trembled and subconsciously turned their heads, obviously startled by Meng Tian's voice.One of them argued: "General, I'm not a coward. There's more than one tree here. General, please take a look..."

"Hmph!" Meng Tian felt even more unhappy. He snorted angrily, turned his head to look in the direction the bodyguard was pointing, and said coldly: "So what if there are more birds? You are still my Da Qin's warrior……"

His voice suddenly stopped and he looked forward in shock.

Only two feet away from him was a mountain pass, and beyond the pass was a small hillside.

Maybe it's because of the terrain, the mountain pass is covered by fog, but the other side is clear without a trace of fog.

At a glance, you can see lush greenery and towering old trees.

The ancient tree did not surprise Meng Tian. What really shocked him was that there were countless birds landing on the ancient tree!

Meng Tian's eyes froze.

There are no less than ten ancient trees on the hillside, and there are no less than thousands of birds perched on each of them, adding up to tens of thousands!
Moreover, he finally saw clearly what these birds were looking for.

Every bird holds something in its beak, including flowers, leaves, branches, unknown grass...

It turned out to be thousands of birds holding branches!

Just as he was about to speak, a red bird seemed to be aware of the group's approach. It suddenly let out a crisp chirp and took the lead in fluttering its wings and flying away.

next second...

A loud "hurrah" sound sounded above everyone's heads, just like the sound of tens of thousands of Qin army crossbowmen firing crossbow arrows at the same time.The sky suddenly darkened, and countless pairs of wings suddenly covered the sky.

The war horse neighed suddenly, obviously frightened by the sound of the birds spreading their wings.Meng Tian tried his best to control the horse while staring blankly at the sky.

After dozens of breaths passed, the sounds in the sky slowly faded away, and the forest became bright again.

A low growl sounded out of focus: "How can there be so many birds!"

At some point, the rest of the guards had already gathered beside Meng Tian, ​​their faces pale.One of the vanguard's personal guards said in a daze: "Everyone in Chu said that Yunmengze is the residence of their ancestor god Donghuang Taiyi. Could it be that in this world..."

He didn't continue, but Meng Tian knew what he wanted to say.

In this world, could it be...

Are there really gods?
