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

Chapter 52 The world is in chaos!

Li Si looked at the fairy mountain in the distance with dumbfounded eyes.

The celestial mountain seems to appear directly above the sky, and the celestial energy is transpiring, looming.

On the fairy mountain, there are pavilions, towers and pavilions, which are different from the Qin Dynasty, but they are also towering and majestic, like a palace in heaven.

Between the pavilions, there seem to be immortals coming and going, and their clothes are also different from those in the world.

If you look closely, the ancient trees on the fairy mountain are so towering that they seem to be tens of feet high.Surrounded by ancient trees, a hall of golden characters rises from the ground, and the sun is shining on it, as if it is covered with gold.

Li Si's mind was buzzing.

This is definitely not the land of Great Qin, and it doesn’t even look like a creation on earth!

I'm afraid, it's really a fairy mountain!

Those tens of feet tall ancient trees never existed in Great Qin!
Perhaps, this is the legendary Jianmu?

"Shan Hai Jing" has a cloud: There is wood, its shape is like a cow, and the lead has skin, like a tassel or a yellow snake.Its leaves are like luo, but in fact they are like luan, and its wood is like stalks, so its name is Jianmu.

According to legend, Jianmu was used by gods and men to ascend to the sky. I am afraid that only such a tall ancient tree can be equal to the sky, right?
As for the huge gold-shaped palace, it can actually poke its head out from the canopy of the tree. Could it be that this is the residence of the Emperor of Heaven?

"Si, is this the Eastern Sea Fairy Mountain?" The voice of the First Emperor sounded, waking Li Si from his trance.

Only then did he react and his face turned slightly red.

After all, just now he said with certainty that he had never discovered the genus of Xianshan.

As a result, in the next moment, a fairy mountain appeared from the horizon, showing in front of the first emperor and himself.

Could it be that the gods heard themselves slandering it?
Do gods have such evil destinies?
Shaking his head slightly, Li Si put aside the absurdity in his heart.

The First Emperor obviously didn't pay attention to Li Si's words. He thought he had already seen the fairy mountain at that time.

After regaining his composure, Li Si spoke respectfully and confidently: "Ask the First Emperor, this may not be a fairy mountain, but a mirage!"

"Mirage? What is it?" Shi Huang finally turned his head and looked at Li Si with red eyes.

Li Si's heart skipped a beat, and he continued to speak: "Does the First Emperor know about Fajiu Shan?"

"I know it naturally. I have also read Jingwei Filling the Sea." The first emperor's voice became hoarse and deep again, and the red light in his eyes became brighter.

Li Si was the prime minister of the first emperor, so he knew the first emperor very well.Since the first emperor lived with the alchemist and took the pill, his temper became much more irritable.

In the past, the first emperor was only cruel to kill. He was cruel and merciless to those who dared to stand in front of his unification of the six kingdoms, but he loved his subjects and the people of Great Qin extremely.

It has been more than thirty years since he took the throne, and he has never been punished for innocence, except for the two children born to Changxin Hou Lao Ai and the Queen Mother Zhao Ji.

But the current Emperor Shihuang has a surly temperament, even when he is alone, he can't help but hold the sword hilt.Presumably, there are many reasons why the alchemist cheated, and he felt that his lifespan was approaching, and there was no medicine for immortality.

And whenever his voice is hoarse and low, and his eyes are red, it means he has murderous intentions.Although no minister has died under his sword so far, who is willing to bet on the patience of the First Emperor?

However, Li Si had to gamble!
He peeked into the depths of the curtain, where a pair of eyes stared at him meaningfully.

Li Si was sweating profusely, he bowed his body to the lowest position, and said respectfully: "The First Emperor manages a lot of things every day, and he is so knowledgeable, I admire him very much."

"There is a cloud in ancient books, two hundred miles to the north, called Fajiu Mountain, on which there are many Zhe trees. There is a bird Yan, which is shaped like a crow, with a head, white beak, and bare feet. The trees and stones of the Western Mountains are placed in the Eastern Sea. The Zhangshui flows out, and flows eastward into the river."

"However, Jingwei is a female, and there is a male bird on Fajiu Mountain. It is famous, has the same appearance as Jingwei, and its voice is sweet."

He continued: "The two birds came out with wings together, reached the sea together, and returned at the same time. However, Jingwei kept filling the sea with stones, while Zhiniao threw himself into the sea. If it enters the sea, it will become a mirage!"

"When the mirage receives sunlight, it emits water vapor, which turns into a mirage, or a fairy mountain, or a land of golden pearls, so as to mislead the world!"

"As the ancients said," Li Si took a peek at the face of the first emperor, "the daughter of Emperor Yan, Nvwa, drowned in the East China Sea, turning good and evil birds. The good bird fills the sea, vowing that there will be no more drowning people in the world. And the evil bird throws itself into the sea mirage, to lure those who don't know into the sea and drown them."

"As Er said, the two birds look the same, and come out and return together, so how can we tell them apart?" The red light in the eyes of the First Emperor gradually receded, replaced by a hawk-like sharpness.

"We can only observe his actions and argue his words." Li Si breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't show the slightest expression on his face.

He continued: "Jingwei people are slow to speak and only do their own thing. Even when they sing, they only call themselves Jingwei. Those who are like birds tempt people with their sounds and seduce people with attractive things!"

The First Emperor's eyes were slightly closed, as if he was thinking deeply.

After ten breaths of silence, he spoke again: "Let's go back, pass the order, Wei Ting is very knowledgeable, and I will give you a pair of jade buckets."

"Thank you for the gift from the first emperor, please step back!" Li Si saluted, glanced at the figure behind the curtain again, and retreated casually.

The First Emperor stood quietly in the lobby, looking at the fairy mountains in the distance.

"Ling Gao!"

He suddenly spoke softly.

"Chen is here!"

A figure with a wide robe and long sleeves came out from behind the curtain and bowed at the feet of the First Emperor. It was Zhao Gao.

"Ling Gao, from what I've seen, in the entire dynasty, who is the Jingwei and who is the Zhiniao?" The First Emperor's voice was quiet, as if he was feeling emotional.

"I don't know."

Zhao Gao's face sank like water: "However, Emperor Shi Huang ordered that all alchemists who are called gods in the world be beheaded. Under this order, if there are still people who are called gods, they may be Zhiniao!"

The First Emperor nodded slightly, Zhao Gao's words spoke to his heart.

He ascended the throne as the King of Qin since he was a child. After 30 years of painstaking efforts, he finally got his wish and achieved the great cause of unifying the world.

This achievement has far surpassed the sage king of Zhou Wen, so he is named the first emperor, and the world respects him.

However, because of alchemist affairs, he became the laughing stock of the world.

The world only knows that he yearns for longevity, but they don't know that his ambition has never changed.

If his ambition is so easily taken away by external things, how can he achieve such unparalleled achievements?

The reason why the first emperor wanted the medicine of immortality was for the sake of the great Qin Dynasty, so that all people in the world can enjoy peace forever!
If it's just a misunderstanding of the first emperor's intentions, that's all.Anyway, killing the alchemist this time has already given him a reputation as a cool killer.

What really made the First Emperor furious was that during this eastward tour, he discovered that the world was in chaos!
The world that will be ruled for eight years seems vaguely about to return to the world of great struggle!
Li Si's words are very reasonable.

Immortal alchemists are all nonsense, but it is the song of Zhiniao!

Just like the mirage in the sky at this time, it is something that messes with my mind!
"Since that's the case," the First Emperor said coldly, "I want to see which bird of wisdom is talking about gods..."

"To disrupt my world!"

……

At the foot of Langya Mountain, Young Duan didn't know that the dragon boat of the First Emperor was heading east along the Yishui River and would enter Langya County from time to time.

I don't know that just a hundred feet away, there is a white snake that is transforming into a dragon.

At this time, he was so sad that he fell to the ground and cried loudly.

The poem "Praying for Rain" was composed by King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty. Although it is a rhetorical question, it is actually a self-examination.

In today's Langya County, it is the people who are in distress, and the palace is greatly prosperous, and there are alchemists and cruel officials who are slanderers, so that His Majesty the First Emperor will be heard and heard.

The Sage King Wen of Zhou asked three questions. If one question was violated, the sky would not rain.

Now if the three questions are all committed, it is natural for God to sin.

But what about us Langya County people?
The other villagers also looked sad at this time.

Langya has been suffering since ancient times, with barren land and sea salt erosion.

Although they lived by the sea, their boat-making skills were limited at that time, and the villagers were still in awe of the sea. At most, they only went to the seaside to fish and cast nets, and they did not dare to go deep into the sea, so the income was naturally limited.

Therefore, the income of the people of Langya in one year is only enough for food and clothing, and most of them still come from the fields.

If there is no harvest this year, I am afraid that all the old people in the county will starve to death.

It's okay for the old man to die. What I'm afraid of is that if the drought continues, the wild fruits on the mountains will also die of drought and the wild animals will starve to death. I'm afraid the young children present will not be spared either!
This is the cruelest wisdom of our ancestors. Whenever there is a crisis, the elderly should be abandoned first.If the crisis still cannot be overcome, give up the child.Only young and strong men and women are left to live in the spring, so there is still a chance for the continuation of the ethnic group.

Otherwise, the ethnic group will become extinct!
"Perhaps we can still find the evil spirit if we search carefully at this time." A village elder said in a low voice.

"Exactly, if we can kill that evil spirit, maybe we can appease God's anger." Another village elder also said.

"Bullshit!"

Young Duan couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up. He roared and said: "The government does not want to save the people, and God does not have mercy on me, Langya County."

"Is there anyone in the world who can save tens of thousands of Li Yuan in Langya County?"

"Only the Immortal!"

He spoke viciously.

"Immortal?" The villagers were shocked again, this was the second time Shaoduan mentioned immortals today.

"Shaoduan be careful," an old villager looked around shyly, there were no outsiders around, but the child who was doing a little play by the altar also stopped because of Shaoduan's roar, and looked over here tremblingly .

After making a gesture to indicate to the children to continue, the village elder cautiously said: "Young Master, don't talk about fairy tales!"

"That is, if it is heard by outsiders, even if we ask for rain today, we will die under the sword and ax of the Qin people!"

"Shaoduan, did you fall into the trap? Those who said that the alchemist of the gods were beheaded in the county, you are still the one who supervised the beheading!"

"Have you ever seen that strange man just now?" Shao Duan didn't care anymore at this time, he is an official of Langya County, he has a salary, no matter what he will not starve to death.

However, if a native of Langya County starved to death, what face would he have to live alone as an official of the herdsmen?
"An alien? But that gentleman just now?" A village elder said, it was the one who had reported to Shaoduan earlier.

"Exactly, he just said that this white snake is not evil, but a real auspicious beast!"

"If we want to relieve the drought, we still need to fall on this auspicious beast!"

Shao Duan spoke with certainty, but the villagers looked at each other again.
