I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 350 This year, the world suffered from Qin; Ying Lou was forty-one
This section of the Great Wall almost completely connects the southernmost tip of the Qinling Mountains and Dujiang.

There are only a few buildings left to close and some finishing work to be done.

at this time.

Ying Lou stepped on the stone bricks of the Great Wall and ordered the beacon towers to light smoke, and all the craftsmen and slaves along the way to retreat ten miles behind.

The Black Water Dragon Seal and the Golden Phoenix Seal were held up by Ying Lou with one hand and rotated side by side in mid-air.

On the two jade seals, there is a small black dragon and a golden phoenix half the size of a palm, entangled with each other.

"The southern mountains, the vertical ridges, the jagged peaks; the vast expanse of land, all like a mirror, the clear waters flowing; the mountains, rivers, and peaks, all submit to me."

Say it.

Suddenly, the Great Wall, which was thousands of miles long, was shrouded in black and gold mist.

In the Qinling Mountains, the rocks creaked and made a low humming sound.
In the Dujiang River, the water was surging, rolling up waves.

"In the name of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, I call upon the destiny of the Central Plains and wish for the collapse and destruction of the Nine-Directions Palace in the future, so that they will never dare to covet the territory of the Qin Dynasty."

After Ying Lou finished speaking again.

On every beacon tower of the Great Wall, two beams of black and gold light flashed out of nowhere, breaking through the clouds and rising straight to the top of the universe.

Followed by.

The roars of dragons and the cries of phoenixes echoed in the ears, and the Qinling Mountains and Dujiang River rose from the ground.

Between heaven and earth, the shadows of countless magnificent buildings that had never been seen in the Central Plains reappeared.

The five inverted flaming mountains, the rushing rivers of gold and copper, the towering trees full of precious animals that have been skinned and deboned.
The lingering fairy music that can be seen, the wine cups that are bigger than the mountains, the candles with several suns and moons placed on them
But then, these heavenly palaces and the strange phantoms began to shatter, collapse, and melt.

But all this only lasted for half a moment.

It flew up to the Qinling Mountains and Dujiang River, which were less than ten feet high, and then fell back to its original place.

The broken heavenly palace also disappeared.

Hu~hu~
Ying Lou’s face turned pale and he was sweating profusely.

He covered his chest with one hand and held on to the stone bricks on the city wall with the other, breathing heavily.

Traces of blood oozed from the mouth, nose, eyes and ears.

"His Majesty!"

Li Si exclaimed and hurried forward, but was stopped by Ying Lou.

"I'm fine."

Say it.

Ying Lou took out a bottle of Golden Cicada Pills that he had prepared long ago from his arms and swallowed them all.

After a long time, the color returned to his face.

"Sure enough, this body alone cannot bear it, but..."

Ying Lou frowned, his eyes serious.

He knew very well that even if he could merge his two bodies into one at this moment, it would only last less than a month.

But when the day comes when the Jiufang Heavenly Palace comes into being, it will be impossible to end this war against heaven in just one month.

"It is too much of a stretch to promise a country a future victory without even fighting a war."

Just now, Ying Lou had planned to try to prepare for the future national destiny of the Qin Dynasty's massacre of the Jiufang Heavenly Palace more than ten years later.

But unfortunately, this thought only appeared in his mind for a moment, and his body almost collapsed.

Moreover, Ying Lou also vaguely sensed that there seemed to be a force that did not belong to the mortal world, which was resisting the destiny of the country.

At the same time, inside the sealed Jiufang Palace.

The present Buddha who was chasing the Buddhist golden cicada suddenly stopped.

The supreme halo surrounding him flickered and seemed a little unstable.

"Haha, old bald donkey, you didn't expect that there would be an emperor in the mortal world who could change the 'cause and effect' of Bodhi. I'm afraid the mortal beasts you created will have to ride on your head and pee and shit."

Although only half of the bloody bones were left below the waist and abdomen, the Buddhist Golden Cicada continued to laugh wildly.

There was no trace of fear in those shining eyes.

"Humph, they are just a bunch of mortal animals that we will eat. Even if you put them on a plate, I won't even look at them."

Although the Buddha spoke toughly, a drop of sweat shed from him within the halo, which had not appeared in millions of years.

And the other side.

The same is true for the Jade Emperor Lingxiao, the Queen Mother of the West, and the Tushita Lord.

The supreme halo, which had been calm for a long time, flickered at the same time.

As for Nuwa of Kunlun, she pouted her lips and frowned.

But after just a moment, he seemed relieved.

He continued to lie on the bronze couch, swinging his nimble feet while using the clay to mold a unique, never-before-seen shape.

From the depths of the three heavenly palaces, namely, Cangtian, Nantian and Jiulong Island, came unprecedented violent roars.

He was so angry that the immortals in the palace were afraid to speak or move.

As for the most mysterious underworld, everything is normal, with ghosts floating in the forest and the Yellow Spring surging.

"This"

Li Si was just a mortal after all. Having glimpsed a corner of the Heavenly Palace, he was naturally nervous.

He glanced sideways at Ying Lou beside him.

For some reason, just one glance and my originally uneasy heartbeat gradually calmed down.

"Your Majesty, within one year, no, within seven months, I can recruit five million laborers from all over the Qin Empire. Within three years, I will build the Great Wall connecting Taihang, Changbai, and Longmen."

Li Si bowed and made a promise to Ying Lou.

"Four months. I allow Bai Longju to assist you."

Bai Longju, who was leaning on the city wall and enjoying the breeze, immediately became dissatisfied when he heard this.

But after thinking about it for three years, he could only sigh and agree.

When he returned to Xianyang, although it was already night, Li Si did not dare to stop for a moment.

He ordered the butler to call all the subordinate officials to discuss the corresponding plans in the Prime Minister's Mansion by lamplight.

At the beginning, when all the officials heard that Li Si was going to recruit more than five million Qin people to participate in the construction of the Great Wall, they all tried to stop him.

The reason is simply that the world has been settled, the barbarians have surrendered, and the court's move to stir up trouble will only make the people resentful, and the heavy labor will lose the people's support.

Moreover, if Ying Lou had not made a single-handed decision on the day to reject the noise of all kinds of opinions in the court, the two projects of building the Great Wall and digging rivers to divert water would probably have been rejected by all the ministers long ago, as they seemed to be useless and not beneficial to the country and the people.

"This is His Majesty's will. It must be completed within three years. There is no room for negotiation."

"Moreover, I have already used your official positions and three clans as guarantees to agree to this matter. If you fail to complete your majesty's instructions within three years, we will dismiss your positions and exterminate your three clans together."

Li Si paused for a moment and said.

This sentence made all the officials present curse in their hearts: "Li Si, you are a piece of shit. If you want to please His Majesty, just go ahead and please him. Why do you have to drag us into this? You even put three clans of ours in prison."

But in the end, we can only curse in our hearts, no one dares to say it out loud.

After all, Li Si was the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty and the head of all officials.

"We will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations."

the next day.

With Bai Longju's reluctant cooperation, it only took one day for the decree issued from Xianyang to spread to all counties and counties of Daqin and all nearby military camps.

For males aged 15 or above, at least one person in a family of three must serve in the military.

as predicted.

Less than half a month.

Chaos broke out everywhere.

However, since the army intervened early on to suppress the unrest, it was quickly suppressed.

But the army can suppress the signs of riots, but it cannot suppress the people's hearts.

For a time, people all over the world cursed the tyranny of the First Emperor and changed their name from the prosperous Qin Dynasty to the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty.

The end of the thirteenth year of Emperor Qin Shihuang.

Half a year had passed since the conscription of laborers. All five million laborers of the Qin Dynasty had been sent to four places, namely Taihang, Longmen, Changbai and Qinling, according to their geographical locations.

During this period, the White Dragon Horse would naturally be busy running around day and night.

The heavy snow has covered the city of Xianyang with a thick layer of silver.

The cold wind blew up snowflakes, which flew wildly in the Afang Palace.

At first glance, there were only a few black dots hurrying along in the huge palace.

In the bedroom.

The candle flame flickered, and the charcoal fire in the stove emitted a faint heat.

Ying Lou, wearing a deerskin robe, sat at his desk, reviewing memorials sent from various places.

Now that he is over forty, he has a few more strands of white hair on his temples.

But his sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes and dragon-like face remain the same.

The high nose bridge, the thin lips, and the skin without a trace of sagging.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

His straight posture showed no sign of fatigue.

It seems as if the day of the coming-of-age ceremony was just yesterday.

"Your Majesty, Crown Prince Su requests an audience."

Sudden.

Zhao Gao's shrill voice came from outside the hall.

"Xuan!"

Ying Lou put down the pen in his hand and said lightly.

After a while, Prince Su walked into the hall with steady and solemn steps.

He has a slender figure, a straight back and a handsome and clear face.

There is an innate gentleness and elegance between his eyebrows.

It formed a sharp contrast with Ying Lou's majestic and cold imperial demeanor.

He wore a white brocade robe, a black fox fur coat, a jade crown on his head, and black leather Liuhe boots on his feet.

Her clothes fluttered as she walked.

At the age of twenty, he is upright and full of vigor and vitality.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father."

Prince Su stepped forward, knelt on the ground, clasped his hands below, and kowtowed in performance of the ritual of respect.

Ying Lou raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looking at Prince Su in front of him, feeling very relieved.

He had hardly ever participated in Su's teaching for many years, but Huayang had trained him into a qualified ruler of the literary world.

If there was no national destiny, no military spirit, no Jiufang Heavenly Palace, and no immortality in this world.

Then "Su" is definitely the only choice for the Emperor Qin II.

"Get up and talk."

Ying Lou raised his arm slightly, signaling "Su" to stand up.

"Thank you, Father."

After Prince Su stood up, he did not dare to take a seat, but just stood there quietly.

"Tell me, what are you doing here today?"

Over the years, "Su" seldom came to see him on his own initiative. Even after he intervened in government affairs in the past few years, he rarely came.

"Father, an urgent report has been sent from Daliang. Have you approved it?"

A sudden blizzard struck, and within just one month, 100,000 workers building the Great Wall in Taihang Mountains froze to death.

Among them were 70,000 slaves and 30,000 Qin people.

Ying Lou naturally saw this memorial, but he ignored it.

However, these words made him frown slightly, and he had already guessed the purpose of "Su"'s visit this time.

"Speak your mind."

Ying Lou waved his hand, signaling Zhao Gao and the palace maids to leave.

"Father, I think that our Great Qin is now so powerful that everyone in the world is our vassal. Building the Great Wall will not only waste people's money and time, but will also cause unrest in the world. The Central Plains has been in turmoil for a thousand years, and it is time to let the people rest."

"I beg you, father, not to continue to force labor and corvée, but to be more benevolent, stop building the Great Wall, collect taxes, so as to calm the people and ensure the stability of the foundation of our Great Qin."

Prince Su bent over, lowered his head, and placed his hands in front of his chest in a bow.

Although he was a prince, when he faced the First Emperor of Qin, the pounding heartbeat and the sweat on his cheeks still made him extremely nervous.

If such horrific news had not come from Daliang today, "Su" would never have come to meet Ying Lou.

"The Great Wall was built to defend against an enemy far larger than the combined power of the six kingdoms."

Ying Lou closed the memorial in his hand, his tone very calm.

It's like talking about something that is extremely ordinary.

But when these words fell into Su's ears, they were like thunder in winter, making him tremble uncontrollably.

"Far more than the sum of the six nations?"

Subconsciously shaking his head and rubbing his ears, Prince Su asked back in disbelief.

At this moment, the first thing he thought of was the Western Regions, which had invaded the Qin border for hundreds of years.

But on second thought, of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, twelve had been destroyed by the Meng family army, and the remaining twenty-four had already fled to more western places.

Could it be Beidi?
That’s not right. My father once stepped into the air and annihilated the coalition forces of the Northern Di tribes like an immortal.

Not only did they destroy their Dragon Court, but they also built the Qin ancestral temple and erected stone tablets on the sacred mountain of Beidi, Langjuxu Mountain.

They even captured a million Northern Di slaves and drove all the remaining remnants to the desolate northern desert.

Then who else could be the enemy of the Qin Dynasty today?
Dongyi, Manchuria?
All over the world?

Or is it some other unknown threat?
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Prince Su shook his head to deny them.

Today, the Qin Dynasty has millions of lion cavalrymen, and its military strength is far greater than before it unified the six kingdoms. Even if these places pose a certain threat, they are insignificant and not to the extent of this.

Not to mention that it is far greater than the sum of the six countries in the past, even the danger of Hangu Pass back then is far beyond their reach.

What does father mean?

Prince Su was puzzled and couldn't figure it out.

"Come with me."

When Ying Lou saw Crown Prince Su in this state, he stood up and walked out.

Arriving at a tall pavilion, the father and son stood in front of the railing, one in front and one behind.

"If I tell you that it is the enemy of the Qin Dynasty, what would you think?"

Ying Lou raised his neck slightly, looked at the white sky, and asked softly.

"Him? Who is he?"

"Su" also looked up, but was still confused.

"The immortal in your mouth and the heaven in your heart are inviolable and cannot be desecrated. Even the kings of the seven kingdoms, the emperor of the Central Plains, and the emperor today must pray and kneel down to worship that supreme being."

Ying Lou's words made Prince Su's eyes confused.

He was well-versed in the academic works of hundreds of schools of thought and regarded Confucianism as the national learning, but at this moment he could not see the person in front of him clearly.

During the Fengshan ceremony on Mount Tai, Ying Lou neither reported his achievements to the heavens nor his kindness to the earth. He even pointed his sword at the sky and proclaimed an edict to attack the heavens.

This action has been condemned by students all over the world.

Although Prince Su, who had grown up, had never expressed his opinion on the matter, he was dissatisfied with Ying Lou's behavior in his heart.

But originally, "Su" only thought that his father, who had unified the world, was too arrogant.

But now it seems that his father really disrespects heaven and gods.

Intend to do something that goes against the will of heaven.

"Father, I'm afraid that the heavens will have eyes. Even you can't do this."

Prince Su moved his throat and opened his mouth with difficulty, his body and voice trembling together.
