Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

Chapter 94: Jiuyou formed an army and sent an urgent report over a distance of miles. The disaster at the Emperor's Mausoleum at Mount Li, chaos has already occurred!

The Jiuyou Army is the second elite army after the Futu Army. If the Iron Eagle Warriors are included, the Qin Dynasty now has three elite armies.

In terms of military strength alone, the current Qin Dynasty is even stronger than when Emperor Zulong was alive.

After all, Zulong used up all the resources of the Qin Dynasty, but he only managed to raise a group of Iron Eagle Warriors.

And now Ying Xuan has successively created two elite forces, Futu and Jiuyou.

However, the selection of the commander of the Jiuyou Army caused some doubts among the civil and military officials in the court.

The Wang family can be said to be the most powerful family in Daqin, second only to the royal family and the Meng family, and even surpassing the Meng family.

After all, although the Meng family had been in officialdom for several generations, it was not until the time of Meng Tian that they truly prospered.

However, compared with the Meng family who enjoyed the emperor's full trust, the Wang family was slightly weaker.

But judging from the fact that Wang Ben was designated as the commander of the Jiuyou Army... it seemed that their Second Emperor did not doubt Wang Jian and his son, and even trusted them.

On the contrary, there was some excitement among the Qin army.

Because, one Futu Army can be said to be an accident, but the second Jiuyou Army can be said to be the foundation.

Their Second Emperor must have a lot of good things hidden in his hands!

The people who were most excited about this were the soldiers of the Great Qin. After all, to be a person endowed with the military spirit meant that they could embark on the path of cultivation, and it was not impossible for them to break through to the realm of heavenly immortals or true immortals in the future.

And this means one most basic thing - longevity.

Even in this mythological world with a primitive background, everyone envies immortality, but not everyone can achieve immortality.

Any creature that cultivates and transcends the four realms of mortals and breaks through to the realm of celestial immortals will no longer have any limit on their lifespan.

However, this is a treatment only available to humans.

If a demon is successful in his cultivation, even a demon king in the Golden Immortal Realm will have a limited lifespan.

Just like the original Journey to the West, when Sun Wukong returned from practicing in Fangcun Mountain, his time of death came in his sleep, and his soul was taken away by the Black and White Impermanence, and he entered the underworld to meet King Yama, because his time of life had come to an end.

At that time, Sun Wukong became a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi and trained under him. When he returned to the Flower-Fruit Mountain, his cultivation level had reached at least the Xuanxian realm. If viewed from the perspective of human beings, he would have already reached the end of his lifespan.

As for why only humans who have achieved success in cultivation can have unlimited lifespan, it involves the secret of how the saints of the past achieved enlightenment.

Among the many acquired creatures, the human race is the most special. It was created by the goddess Nuwa from the earth in the past, and contains unspeakable mysteries. It is born in the form of Tao, and is endowed with the spirit of heaven and earth, and contains infinite potential.

On the other hand, although the demon clan is also acquired creatures, if you trace their origins back to the innate sacred relics, they are actually the descendants of the innate gods. However, later on, the heaven and earth changed drastically, they experienced great disasters, and their bloodlines declined, so they fell out of the ranks of the innate.

Therefore, the limit on the lifespan of the demon race is more like a backlash, the consequence of the demon race's failure in participating in the battle for the great calamity of heaven and earth in the past.

……

at the same time.

While people in Xianyang City were still discussing the Jiuyou Army, a disaster struck Mount Li, thousands of miles away.

Mount Li is just a branch of the Qinling Mountains. Logically, it should not be a place for setting up a county or prefecture. However, the tomb of Emperor Zulong is located in Mount Li.

Therefore, the Xianyang Palace set up a county government office in Mount Li.

The mountain people near Mount Li also gathered here because of the existence of the county government. Over time, the name of Mount Li County came into being.

However, Lishan County was not one of the 36 counties divided by the imperial court, but a county government office built on a mountain. Therefore, the people in the county were not registered in the Qin nationality. In other words, the people in Lishan County were a group of "illegal households".

But being an illegal household also has its advantages. The construction of the imperial mausoleum in Mount Li required a large number of laborers and conscripts. The county government recruited more than 100,000 conscripts from Lishan County in just one month.

Most of these laborers were mountain dwellers from all over Mount Li. They had lived on the mountains for generations and were very familiar with the terrain and topography of the mountains. After being conscripted as laborers, they relied heavily on these mountain dwellers, and the Imperial Mausoleum of Mount Li was able to be completed so quickly.

At this time, in a restaurant in Lishan County, several young nobles dressed in luxurious clothes gathered together to drink, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

"Li You, is there really no way back to Xianyang City?"

A young man in fancy clothes raised his cup and took a sip. He looked at the silent figure sitting in the main seat and couldn't help asking, "Prime Minister Li is the prime minister of two dynasties. He is also a great cultivator in the Golden Immortal Realm and one of the few remaining masters of the Legalist School in the world. Can that person in the Xianyang Palace really do something to him?"

The words fell!

Others at the table also cast their gazes in that direction, their eyes full of curiosity and inquiry.

Today's gathering was not initiated by them, but by Li You.

But they came here to find out some information.

After all, news had already arrived from Xianyang City that Li Si had been demoted to a commoner. In name, they allowed him to return to his mansion to rest because of his old age and overwork, but in reality he had been imprisoned.

In this situation, the most dangerous person was not Li Si, but Li You, who had been tricked by Ying Xuan into coming to Mount Li to serve as a supervisor.

After all, Li You is Li Si's legitimate son and his only offspring. Moreover, at a young age, he has already reached the realm of true immortality. There is great hope that he can break through to the realm of golden immortality in the future and become a great cultivator in the world.

"I don't know. My father didn't send any letter. He just told me to stay in Mount Li for a while." Li You drank silently and shook his head.

He indeed did not receive Li Si's secret letter, and had no idea what to do next.

Moreover, although Ying Xuan demoted Li Si to a commoner, he did not do anything to Li Si's family.

Therefore, Li You also escaped.

Not only that, he was living a comfortable life in Lishan County, which was much better than Li Sike who was imprisoned in Xianyang City.

"In that case, don't think too much. We are here to drink during the day off. Come, let's drink!" Upon hearing this, the young man in gorgeous clothes immediately skipped the topic, picked up a pot of wine and greeted everyone.

Seeing this, others also raised their glasses and drank together, and the atmosphere gradually became heated.

Li You, on the other hand, was sitting in the main seat, but was very silent. He did not clink glasses with the others, but just drank silently with his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.

He didn't lie just now, he did not receive the secret letter from Li Si, but he met someone.

Li You recognized the other person. He was an aide to his father and one of his father's most trusted people.

……

After three rounds of drinking, everyone drank a little too much and gradually fell down.

This group of people are all the dignitaries in Xianyang City. They have started the path of cultivation since childhood and have a good level of cultivation. The weakest of them are at the celestial immortal realm.

Therefore, ordinary alcohol cannot make them drunk.

But now, they were all drunk.

Li You watched this scene silently, drank the last glass of wine as if nothing had happened, stood up and walked to the window, looked in the direction of Mount Li, and murmured: "Mount Li..."
