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

Chapter 216: The prayers of all peoples, the gathering of all peoples of Kyushu at the Imperial Mausoleum of Mount Li, the resurrection of the First Emperor!

Qinling Mountains, Mount Li.

Between the mountain walls, there is a piece of pure land that seems to be carved by magic, existing naturally in this world. The mountain temple is embedded in it, reflecting a hint of sacredness and mystery.

From a distance, this scene looks like a painting copying an ancient legend.

"The battle for the Nine Provinces has begun... I wonder if the Great Qin Dynasty can sweep across the world like the First Emperor did and unify the country again?"

The Holy Mother Wu Dang, dressed in white and looking like an immortal, stood far away on the cliff, gazing at the end of the sky and earth, as if she was aware of something.

With her cultivation level, even if she is in Mount Li, she can clearly see the current situation of Jiuzhou.

The uprising in Sanchuan ignited the anger of countless people in Kyushu. Since the turmoil in the Spring and Autumn Period, the endless anger accumulated was bound to set off a prairie fire.

Even if there are 100,000 Buddhist soldiers alone, it would be difficult to resist.

There are also monks from the Buddhist country of Canaan in the west... A hint of coldness lingered in the eyes of the Holy Mother Wu Dang, and she murmured, "Traitors!"

"If I hadn't been concerned that the Heavenly Court hadn't made any move yet, I would have killed this despicable and shameless rabbit who had fled from the battlefield with my own hands!"

This hatred and indifference was directed directly at Buddhism and involved an old event from the past.

At the beginning, the Three Pure Ones separated, which led to the Battle of Conferred Gods, and eventually the Jiejiao was defeated. The grand scene of thousands of immortals coming to pay homage was never seen again.

Most of the Jiejiao immortals were included in the List of Gods, and now they are among the immortals in the Heavenly Court and have become immortal gods in the Heavenly Court.

But there are a few disciples of Jiejiao... their names are not on the List of Gods, and they are not even in the Heavenly Palace.

For example, the Buddha of Joy and Delight.

His predecessor was a disciple of the Jiejiao, and was the long-eared Dingguang immortal, one of the seven immortals serving under the leader of Tongtian. In terms of status alone, he was far above the third and fourth generation disciples, and possessed the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Six Soul Banner.

However, at the end of the Battle of the Gods, Jiejiao was already on the verge of defeat, and Patriarch Tongtian set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation in an attempt to turn the tide, hoping to use this treasure to reverse Jiejiao's decline in one fell swoop.

However, the immortal Chang'er Dingguang betrayed the Jiejiao at this time and secretly presented the Six Soul Banner to the Chenjiao, causing the leader Tongtian to fail in his plan.

Later, thanks to this betrayal, the long-eared Dingguang immortal escaped the calamity of being deified, and was taken to the West by the Taoist Zhunti of the Western Religion, where he became the Dingguang Happy Buddha, established the Canaan Buddhist Kingdom in Xiniu Hezhou, and became the ruler of that Buddhist kingdom.

In addition to Dingguang Happy Buddha, there was another person from Jiejiao who entered Buddhism and became the co-leader of the three thousand Buddha kingdoms in Buddhism today.

"Duobao... or now he should be called Tathagata Buddha!" ​​Mother Wu Dang murmured, looking up at the sky with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

In the past, thousands of immortals came to pay homage to the Jiejiao. It was such a grand scene, but now it is completely gone.

Even though the Holy Mother Wu Dang had practiced in seclusion in Mount Li for thousands of years, she still found it difficult to understand all of this.

Did the Heavenly Dao give up on Jiejiao, or was it that from the very beginning... this was a murderous plot to bury Jiejiao?

Just like the Qin Dynasty today.

"Master, what should I do now?"

The Holy Mother Wu Dang sighed quietly. Today, she viewed the Qin Dynasty as the Jiejiao of the past.

Being surrounded by enemies on all sides, they are all calculations.

However, the Jiejiao at that time still had the Patriarch Tongtian, who was able to turn the tide at the critical moment.

But what about the current Qin Dynasty?

The First Emperor is no longer with us. Can the Second Emperor of Qin alone turn the tide?
...At this time, at the foot of Mount Li.

Groups of laborers either used carts to carry rocks and huge trees to the top of the mountain, or dozens of people worked together to pull the huge stone carvings deep into the mountains.

They were civilian laborers conscripted from the city of Xianyang. After two uprisings, they were retained by Qin II Emperor Ying Xuan himself, to work in exchange for relief. They repaired the collapsed imperial tombs and were going to rebuild Mount Li.

The previous unrest caused most of Mount Li to collapse, almost burying the imperial tomb.

Therefore, these laborers had to repair all the collapsed parts of Mount Li and clean up some rocks and rubble that buried the imperial tomb.

If it were in the past, these common people would definitely complain all the time, blaming the collapse of the world and the tyranny of Qin II.

But now, the laborers volunteered to do such hard labor without complaining, which caught the soldiers such as Meng Wu who came to supervise them by surprise.

"Your Majesty must have a way. Just by coming here, these civilians are so enthusiastic!"

Meng Wu was wearing armor, serving as a supervisor, watching these laborers coming and going. They were sweating profusely under the scorching sun, but he did not back down at all. Instead, he looked excited and could not help but shake his head with emotion.

If it were him... I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to have such passion and throw himself into the great wave of repairing the imperial tomb and rebuilding Mount Li.

"It's not that Your Majesty has a solution, but that Your Majesty ignited the fire in their hearts." The magistrate of Lishan County shook his head, feeling slightly touched.

He understood that it was the promise made by Qin II that had brought about the current impact.

Earlier, when Ying Xuan's last stop on his tour was Mount Li, he happened to encounter civilians who believed rumors and surrounded the touring carriage.

In order to appease the people and eliminate their hostility towards the imperial power, Ying Xuan promised the laborers a recognition that all the rocks and soil transported to Mount Li by these laborers would be engraved with their names.

From then on, their names will be left in Mount Li forever. Even if they die a hundred years later, this honor will still be passed down in Mount Li for thousands of years.

If it were placed on those high and mighty immortals and gods, they would definitely not be able to understand such behavior.

But these civilians are just ordinary people, and their ideas are very simple.

To have such an honor that will be passed down through the ages, even if only people in later generations pass through the mountains and happen to catch a glimpse of their names engraved on Mount Li... it is extremely worthwhile.

What's more, Ying Xuan's promise was not just about Mount Li, but also about using the rocks and soil engraved with their names to repair the imperial mausoleum at Mount Li.

In this way, they are like the countless terracotta warriors in the imperial mausoleum, sleeping forever with the First Emperor in the underground imperial mausoleum.

For the people of the Qin Dynasty, this is undoubtedly the highest honor.

It is no wonder that the laborers were so enthusiastic and had no complaints at all.

"Seeing how hard they are working, I'm afraid they can complete the repairs before the coronation ceremony. In this case, the reconstruction of Mount Li will also be coming to an end!" Meng Wu looked at the huge number of laborers going up and down Mount Li, feeling a little emotional.

This speed... is really hard to imagine.

The Magistrate of Mount Li County standing by also nodded with deep emotion, then looked at the huge cave excavated in the mountain and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

If the First Emperor were still alive and saw this scene, he would probably feel happy for the current Second Emperor, right?

……

However, no one noticed at this moment that countless rocks and bricks engraved with the names of the people of the Qin Dynasty were gradually integrated into Mount Li.

In the dark, the wishes and fortunes of the people came from all over the Kyushu, gathered in the Qinling Mountains, and poured into the depths of Mount Li.
