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

Chapter 147 The First Emperor, who was touring the four directions, had a conversation with the immortals in heaven, the legacy of the ancient human race!
Gods are different from those practitioners who have proven themselves to be immortals by their own practice. Most gods are canonized, or the power of incense and vows is gathered to cast a golden body, thus possessing the power of immortals.

In fact, this is also a way of cultivation, which can help one achieve one's own great path through the merits of burning incense.

But in the eyes of those practitioners who are cultivating their magical powers and practicing themselves, most gods are not of the highest caliber and are not worth mentioning.

There is a notable example in heaven.

Those are the people who were deified during the Conferred Gods War in the past when their bodies were killed and only their souls remained. They were included in the Conferred God List and were listed as gods.

Most of these gods who were conferred titles on the List of Gods had no control over their fate, and it was difficult for them to speak or act, and their realm of cultivation was forever stagnant at the moment they were listed on the List of Gods.

Therefore, even if one holds divine power in a certain area and holds a clerical position, compared to the fact that the great way has been lost and one no longer has freedom...it is easy to understand which is more important.

However, Qu Yuan's situation is very different from those gods conferred in the List of Gods.

He took the most primitive path to deification. After his death, he was commemorated by the people of the 800-li Dongting Lake, who offered sacrifices and prayed for him every year. As a result, he gathered incense and merit, and was cast into a golden body, becoming a rural god.

This kind of deity is not recognized by the heaven or the human dynasty, so it is a wild god with no origin.

This is also why some officials accompanying the emperor proposed to disband Qu Yuan's incense and golden statue, and let Ying Xuan appoint a new water god to rule the 800-mile Dongting Lake.

What these words actually mean is that they do not recognize Qu Yuan's identity.

But just because the officials accompanying the emperor thought so doesn’t mean Ying Xuan also thought so.

……

The patrol carriage entered the area under the jurisdiction of Dongting Lake. Along the way, he saw that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, with no signs of being disturbed by the flood of Dongting Lake.

This also made Ying Xuan curious, so he called Zhao Cheng to invite Qu Yuan, who was leading the way, to ride on the imperial chariot. Then he asked, "Qu Yuan, I am very curious. The Dongting Lake under your rule seems to be much better than what I know."

"Why?"

There is no county town or village close to the sea or lake that is not invaded by aquatic creatures or floods.

Often when things like this happen, the human dynasty that rules over the nine provinces will have to take action.

Otherwise, if we allow such things to happen, we will lose the support of the people.

But Ying Xuan recalled that since he ascended the throne, he seemed to have never heard of any flood in Dongting Lake.

However, in coastal areas such as the East China Sea and the West China Sea, there were constant reports of aquatic creatures causing trouble in the sea, causing storms and making it impossible for fishermen to go out to sea to hunt, leaving the people living in misery.

On the other hand, looking at Dongting Lake… in such an area of ​​800 miles, there isn’t even a single aquatic creature causing trouble?
how can that be!

"Your Majesty has a keen insight. It is true. Dongting Lake is safer and calmer than other waters."

Qu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be really surprised that Ying Xuan could notice this. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "This is because in Dongting Lake, apart from me, the Water Lord, there is only the giant turtle. Apart from this, there are no other water creatures."

"Therefore, Dongting Lake is naturally peaceful, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

The words fell!

Not only Ying Xuan, but even Zhao Cheng, who was attending beside him, could not help but raise his head and look at Qu Yuan presumptuously.

In this 800-li Dongting Lake, besides Qu Yuan, the God of Water, there is only that giant turtle?

How can it be!

"Did you wipe out those aquatic creatures?" Ying Xuan guessed.

He would not think that Qu Yuan was just a wandering poet, weak and without any courage. You should know that before becoming the Lord of Dongting Lake, Qu Yuan was a general of the Chu State, and was an expert in the art of attack.

After becoming the God of Water, Qu Yuan gathered countless merits and virtues through the commemorations, sacrifices and prayers of the people every year. His cultivation had already broken through to the Golden Immortal Realm.

Although he is far inferior to great practitioners like Fusu and Li Si, he is still in the Golden Immortal Realm. With the help of the giant turtle... it is not difficult to clear out the aquatic creatures in the entire Dongting Lake.

However, Qu Yuan shook his head and said slowly: "Your Majesty, it was not me who took action, but the First Emperor who swept away the aquatic creatures in the entire Dongting Lake!"

The First Emperor... Ying Zheng! ?

Ying Xuan raised his eyebrows. It was another unexpected answer, and he felt a little interested.

The first stop of this tour seemed to give him a lot of surprises.

"Why did the First Emperor want to wipe out the aquatic creatures in Dongting Lake?"

Wang Ben, who was traveling with the emperor in the carriage, couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

Qu Yuan did not answer, but cast his eyes towards the other person in the imperial chariot, and asked curiously: "Didn't you tell me about this?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the emperor's chariot turned their eyes over.

The young man sitting below Ying Xuan was silent. He was dressed in luxurious official robes and looked like a nobleman from an aristocratic family.

If his background and identity were not mentioned, no one would know that this noble young man was the second son of the Meng family, the most aristocratic family in the Qin Dynasty, and also the second son of General Meng Wu, Meng Yi.

Some people may be unfamiliar with this name, but when it comes to Meng Yi's brother... everyone knows him.

Meng Tian is the first general of the Qin Dynasty and also the strongest person in the Qin Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, although I was with the First Emperor when he went on tour, I do not know his original intention to wipe out the aquatic creatures in Dongting Lake."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Meng Yi paused for a moment, then met Ying Xuan's vague gaze, sighed inwardly, and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I knew about this but did not report it. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, everyone's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, they felt something strange.

However, Ying Xuan just waved his hand and said calmly: "Ignorance is not a crime. I have never asked about it. You have your reasons for not telling me. There is no need to judge me for that."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Meng Yi bowed silently.

Ying Xuan looked at Qu Yuan without moving his eyes and asked, "Shui Jun, please solve my doubts."

Qu Yuan nodded when he heard this, but he looked at Meng Yi and Ying Xuan strangely. His intuition told him that this Qin II seemed to have other ideas.

However, Qu Yuan could not understand the mind of Ying Xuan, the Emperor of Qin, so naturally he had no idea what Ying Xuan was thinking.

"In the past, the First Emperor's touring carriage came to Dongting Lake just like Your Majesty did today, and I also showed up to meet the First Emperor..." A look of reminiscence emerged on Qu Yuan's face.

There was a hint of surprise and admiration in his eyes!

Obviously, in the heart of the water god who now controls the 800-mile Dongting Lake, the First Emperor is a figure worthy of admiration.

"The First Emperor seemed to be looking for something. While talking to me, he learned about the origin of Dongting Lake and wanted to find the whereabouts of something in Dongting Lake."

Qu Yuan recalled the past and said slowly, "But at that time, Dongting Lake was inhabited by various aquatic creatures and the waters were complicated. The things that the First Emperor wanted to find in Dongting Lake were nowhere to be found for a long time..."

“So, the First Emperor got angry!”
