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

Chapter 148: Shennong's handwriting, relics of the Battle of Zhuolu, the First Emperor did not confer a title on Qu Yuan!
Even if Qu Yuan didn't say it, everyone could imagine what happened next.

It was nothing more than Ying Zheng's order to let the Qin cavalry accompanying the patrol sweep away all the aquatic creatures in the 800-li Dongting Lake.

From then on, there were no more aquatic creatures causing trouble in Dongting Lake.

And that is indeed the case.

"After an unknown amount of time, I saw the First Emperor's carriage again."

Qu Yuan paused here, glanced at the giant turtle being carried by many soldiers behind the carriage, and said slowly: "At that time, the First Emperor gave this giant turtle to me and asked me to release it in Dongting Lake. He said that he would come to take it back when he returned to Xianyang City in the future."

"Who would have thought that I would not wait for the First Emperor to return to Xianyang City, but instead wait for the First Emperor to die in the sand dunes, and for your Majesty, the Second Emperor of Qin, to arrive."

The words fell!

Everyone suddenly realized and reacted, looking at the giant turtle behind them that was being carried by the soldiers... Could it be that this thing was really left in Dongting Lake by the First Emperor?

"Where does this giant turtle come from?" Ying Xuan asked.

Just now Qu Yuan talked about the origin of the giant turtle, but it was very vague and not detailed.

"Rumor has it that long ago, the world encountered a catastrophe. It was the darkest period for the human race. Countless humans perished in the catastrophe and became food for demons."

After a moment of silence, Qu Yuan slowly said: "In that catastrophe, the Buzhou Mountain that supported the sky collapsed, causing the sky to collapse and the world was facing doomsday."

"At the critical moment, Goddess Nuwa took action and cut off the limbs of the North Sea Black Turtle. She then refined it and used it to replace Mount Buzhou and support the Pillar of Heaven."

"That giant turtle is the descendant of the North Sea Black Turtle, but it only has a strand of bloodline, which is incomplete. Because of this, it is not only unable to transform, but also unable to speak."

"Back then, the First Emperor was on a tour to the North Sea and happened to see this giant turtle fighting a nine-headed demon. He rescued it and kept it with him ever since."

"Until I put it in Dongting Lake, thinking to let it roam free for a while, and then bring it back to Xianyang City."

Having said that, the origin of the giant turtle has become clear.

But what is puzzling is... why did the First Emperor go to Beihai during his tour?
Ying Xuan's eyes flickered, and he had a vague sense that the First Emperor's tour was nominally an tour, but in fact he was just looking for something.

As for what it is... Ying Xuan had a guess in his mind that it should be a treasure that could allow the First Emperor to restore his cultivation!
"Is there any treasure hidden in this Dongting Lake?" Ying Xuan asked bluntly.

The Dongting Lake must have a great history to be able to hold the Qin Shi Huang in his mind and to be believed to be a treasure that could help him recover his cultivation!
"It's just a rumor actually, but there's nothing in the lake."

Qu Yuan shook his head. He was the god of water in the 800-li Dongting Lake. He was the one who knew best whether there was anything in the lake.

However, since it was Ying Xuan who asked, Qu Yuan naturally did not hide it.

According to legend, when Dongting Lake was still known as the Yunmeng Lake, the human tribe that occupied this marshland had a treasure, which was the handwriting of Shennong, one of the three ancient human emperors, the Earth Emperor Shennong.

It records the names and whereabouts of the countless magical herbs, roots and precious medicines tasted by Shennong.

Among them, there is even the location of innate spiritual roots!

This is also the reason why Ying Zheng asked for Shennong's handwriting. With his cultivation level of Daluo Jinxian, ordinary spiritual roots and elixirs are of no use to him.

But if it is an innate spiritual root... then it is another matter!

Especially those innate spiritual roots in the ancient legends that have supernatural powers. Not to mention allowing Ying Zheng to restore his cultivation to the level of a Daluo Jinxian, even allowing him to take a further step... is not an impossible thing.

However, rumors are just rumors.

There is no handwriting of Shennong in Dongting Lake at all, only a relic that sank to the bottom of the lake from ancient times.

"Ancient ruins?" Ying Xuan raised his eyebrows, a little curious, and asked, "What kind of ruins?"

"In ancient times, a great war broke out here. It was a war between the Emperor Xuanyuan and the great wizard Chiyou." Qu Yuan shook his head.

At this time, the patrol car stopped in front of an extremely large lake.

This is also the main water area of ​​Dongting Lake. The water of the 800-mile Dongting Lake will eventually flow through here and into the East China Sea.

Qu Yuan got off the emperor's chariot and led everyone to the edge of a lake. With a wave of his hand, the lake water flowed to both sides.

A relic, filled with the breath of time and tragedy, suddenly saw the light of day again and appeared before everyone's eyes.

The countless broken walls, the corpses that could not be washed away by time, the unimaginable traces of blood... every scene was shocking everyone's mind.

"The remains of the ancient war... are indeed between the witch clan and the human clan!" Wang Ben's eyes narrowed slightly, and he vaguely felt a sense of familiarity from these corpses.

Not long ago, there was turmoil in Xianyang City, and he had fought against the witch soldiers refined by Li Xin, so he was very sensitive to the aura of the witch clan.

The countless corpses sinking to the bottom of the lake gave him a stronger feeling than those of the wizards!

Obviously, these corpses all belong to the real descendants of the witch clan!

"Has the First Emperor also seen this relic?" Ying Xuan seemed to be thinking.

"nature."

Qu Yuan nodded and said, "After seeing the ruins, the First Emperor gave up and left with his imperial carriage."

Previously, Ying Zheng went on tour in order to find a way to restore his own cultivation.

Shennong's handwriting is obviously one of the ways to make Ying Zheng's wish come true.

But obviously Ying Zheng's expectations were dashed.

Under the Dongting Lake, there is only an ancient relic, but no Shennong's handwriting.

"I have another question."

Ying Xuan glanced at the ruins at the bottom of the lake and found nothing unusual. He then turned to look at Qu Yuan and asked slowly, "The First Emperor had seen you before... Why didn't he confer a title of deity on you?"

To this day, Qu Yuan is an unregistered rural god in both the Qin Dynasty and the Heavenly Court.

This kind of deity is not recognized, so no temples can be built to attract worshippers.

Every year, the people of the 800-li Dongting Lake offer sacrifices to Qu Yuan and pray for him by the lake.

Therefore, even though Qu Yuan had millions of people praying to him within the 800-li Dongting Lake, he has only reached the initial stage of the Golden Immortal Realm.

Qu Yuan was not an evil god, nor did he have a bad reputation. With Qin Shi Huang's courage and vision, since he knew of Qu Yuan's existence, he should have conferred a deity title on him in the Qin Dynasty and built a temple and erected a statue for him.

Instead of being like it is now... like a lonely ghost of a rural god, he can only build a water palace in the lake and can hardly see the light of day.

However, as soon as Ying Xuan said this, before Qu Yuan could say anything, the faces of Wang Ben, Meng Yi and others who were accompanying him changed.

"Your Majesty doesn't know?" Qu Yuan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

Although he did not compare Qin II, Ying Xuan, with the First Emperor Ying Zheng in his heart, but no matter how he looked at it... this Qin II seemed like an emperor of the Qin Dynasty who knew nothing?
