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

Chapter 191: The tour, the reckoning of various schools of thought, the rumors of Mount Li, and the shackles of practitioners in Kyushu!

Shangjun, Lishan Road.

After the Qin Dynasty unified the Nine Provinces in the past, it redivided the territory of the Nine Provinces and established thirty-six counties, which were under the jurisdiction of various counties and cities. Officials such as county governors and county magistrates were sent to govern.

Among them, Shangjun was one of the thirty-six counties established when the Qin Dynasty divided the land into nine states.

On the map of the entire Qin Dynasty, Shangjun is also the county town closest to Xianyang City. Together with Hangu Pass, it is known as the two major checkpoints guarding the passage to Xianyang City.

This time, Ying Xuan's tour started from Xianyang City, went all the way along Hedong County to the East China Sea, then from the East China Sea through the old Qi territory, through Shangjun, and returned to Xianyang City.

However, when approaching Shangjun, Ying Xuan did not let the touring carriage enter Shangjun City, but went to Qinling Mountains thousands of miles away from Shangjun City.

That’s right, Ying Xuan’s last stop on this tour was not Shangjun City, but Qinling Mountains.

...or Mount Li in the Qinling Mountains.

……

The grand procession of carriages went along the official road deep into the Qinling Mountains and headed towards Mount Li.

At this time, on the imperial chariot, Ying Xuan sat leisurely on the couch, looking at Meng Yi who was telling him about the situation in Mount Li, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"…Lishan has been the most important branch of the Qinling Mountains since ancient times. However, because it is extremely mysterious and located in the deepest part of the Qinling Mountains, it is rarely visited by humans."

As a eunuch of the Qin Dynasty, Meng Yi has extremely profound knowledge. Although he is restricted by the shackles of heaven and earth and his cultivation is not as good as those of the high-ranking immortals and gods, he has also reached the level of Xuanxian realm and his foundation in Taoism is extremely solid.

At this moment, Meng Yi was talking about the origin and roots of Mount Li, and said slowly: "That's why, although Mount Li gathers the mountain people from the Qinling Mountains, it is still extremely poor. Most of the officials sent to Mount Li by our Great Qin in the past dynasties could not last more than a month."

"However, there are exceptions. Because Mount Li is located in the deepest part of the Qinling Mountains, it has a unique environment for cultivation. Many practitioners go deep into Mount Li and practice in seclusion in the mountains in order to practice asceticism."

Hearing this, Ying Xuan nodded, and had a general understanding of Mount Li in his mind.

Previously, his biggest impression of Mount Li was the Emperor's Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, located deep in the mountains.

Other than that, nothing more.

As the longest and largest mountain range in the Qin Dynasty, the importance of Qinling Mountains is self-evident. It is the most natural barrier of the Qin Dynasty and the "mother" that once fed the Qin Dynasty.

If it weren't for the existence of the Qinling Mountains, it would have been difficult for the Qin Dynasty to grow in such a barren land, gather the luck of the Nine Provinces, and accomplish the great cause of unifying the human race.

In the past, when the First Emperor was still alive, he had talked to Ying Xuan about the importance of Qinling Mountains many times.

However, Ying Xuan now has a new understanding of Qinling...

A holy place for cultivation!

Ying Xuan knew that in Jiuzhou, there were many places that were paradise for practitioners.

For example, the Taoist holy land Taiyi Mountain, and the city of Sanghai on the coast of the East China Sea.

These are the cultivator forces of Jiuzhou, the birthplace and holy places of various schools of thought, and outsiders are not allowed to set foot there easily.

This time, Ying Xuan went on a tour to the East China Sea. He wanted to visit Sanghai, but the head of Confucianism in Sanghai told him clearly that the reclusive Confucian master Xunzi avoided him and was said to have traveled far away.

After hearing the news, Ying Xuan was not angry, but ordered the patrol carriage to leave Donghai.

It's not that he possesses the bearing of the Great Qin Emperor and doesn't bother with Confucianism... but Ying Xuan already has a clear plan in his mind regarding the various schools of thought.

As soon as he returns to Xianyang City this time, he will start to implement it.

Even the person to do this... Ying Xuan already has one! "Are there any particularly powerful practitioners in Qinling?" Ying Xuan asked.

Although in the world of earthly immortals, especially in the land of Jiuzhou, it is generally impossible for there to be such things as Daluo Jinxian, quasi-saints, and so on.

However, the great practitioners in the Taiyi Golden Immortal and Golden Immortal realm are also worthy of a little attention from the patrolling carriages.

"No, although Qinling is a recognized holy place for cultivation, there has never been a cultivator above the Golden Immortal Realm," Meng Yi explained.

The Qinling Mountains are indeed a holy land for cultivation, blessed with unique natural advantages, but precisely because of this, there are often very few powerful practitioners who would go into seclusion in the Qinling Mountains to practice.

"No?"

Ying Xuan frowned, thinking, and nodded, "Go ahead and tell the officials accompanying me to change their route back to Xianyang City. Wang Ben will lead the Nine Nether Army to accompany me, and the rest of you don't have to follow."

After saying that, Ying Xuan saw Meng Yi's slightly strange expression, glanced at him, and said lightly: "You follow too."

After he finished speaking, Meng Yi's expression froze for a moment, and then he bowed helplessly.

Unlike others who wanted to always be by the emperor's side... Meng Yi felt that accompanying the emperor was like accompanying a tiger, and was very reluctant to stay by Ying Xuan's side.

The reason is that he has something fishy in his heart.

The First Emperor died suddenly at the end of his fifth tour, and Ying Xuan had already roughly figured out the hidden story.

But who were involved at that time...Ying Xuan still didn't know.

The only three people who might know are Li Si, Zhao Gao and Meng Yi!
Because Zhao Gao and Meng Yi were the ministers and eunuchs who accompanied the Emperor at that time, and they were the only two people who were still alive after the First Emperor's fifth tour.

Li Si and Zhao Gao had once been in collusion with each other, so it was very likely that he knew some inside information.

But unfortunately, Li Si has been imprisoned now. After his defeat, he remained silent in prison and refused to speak no matter what.

As for Zhao Gao... after he escaped from the Qin Dynasty with Hu Hai, the last time Ying Xuan received news from Zhao Gao, he said that he had arrived in the Buddhist Kingdom of Canaan.

Feng Quji had already followed Ying Xuan's wishes and sent an edict to the Buddhist Kingdom of Canaan, ordering the latter to escort Zhao Gao and Hu Hai to Xianyang City.

Now, if we calculate based on time, the decree should have reached the Buddhist Kingdom of Canaan.

I just don't know what the Lord of the Canaan Buddhist Kingdom will do when he learns the news.

"Even after witnessing the might of the Guardian Dragon, he is still so secretive... This makes me even more curious about who attacked the First Emperor!"

Ying Xuan looked at Meng Yi's back as he got off the imperial chariot and announced the imperial decree with a group of officials accompanying the emperor. There was a slight flicker in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

……

Deep in the Qinling Mountains.

Mount Li is surrounded by mountains. Near the top of the mountain, on a flat rocky area independent of the mountain wall, stands an ancient and majestic temple.

In that temple, there is a stone statue of a female fairy who is ethereal, beautiful and cold.

It turned out to be the mountain god belief in Mount Li... the Old Mother of Mount Li.

At this moment, under the stone statue, a figure in white was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, with his eyes slightly closed. As if he was aware of something, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance.

In an instant, his eyes were extremely cold, penetrating through layers of nothingness and reaching straight up to the sky, where their eyes met with the guardian dragon that was entrenched in the land of Kyushu!
"The Second Emperor of Qin is here..."
