Chapter 804 Remnants of the Qin Dynasty
Even Li Canghai found it inconceivable.

Immortality has always been a nonsense, but Linlin and others have lived for nearly 800 years, which is too unbelievable.

"Since we found the elixir of life, why didn't Xu Fu give it to the First Emperor?" Li Canghai asked.

Yan Nanfei said: "Brother Li doesn't know something. My father has never found the elixir of life. This matter needs to be discussed from the beginning. At that time, the first emperor unified China. He compared himself with the three emperors and five emperors, so he called himself 'emperor'. The first emperor The end of the Spring and Autumn Period, hundreds of years of wars in the Warring States period, books with the same text, and cars with the same track, can be said to be a meritorious service, which should be admired by all generations. However, the first emperor was cruel and extorted. Then, in order to build the Great Wall and the mausoleum, six people were recruited. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the country, causing the people to live in poverty. At that time, my father saw that Qin Shihuang was so tyrannical and wasting people and money, so he went to speak, saying that there are fairy mountains in the East China Sea, and the gods in the mountains can live forever. He can go to find the elixir for the first emperor. "

Di Qingxiu frowned slightly, and said puzzledly: "The Emperor Shi Huang was so cruel, why did Xu Fu look for the medicine of longevity for him?"

Linlin took Yan Nanfei's words and said: "The reason why my lord father did this is to let the first emperor stop building the imperial mausoleum and waste money and people. After all, if the first emperor lives forever, he won't need the mausoleum, and this imperial mausoleum will There is no need to build it."

Yan Nanfei nodded, and continued: "Father is good at the art of alchemy, so he won the trust of the first emperor, but the first emperor was also obsessed with longevity, so he agreed to my father to go to sea to find the medicine of longevity. Back then, the people of the six countries were deeply loved. Suffering, there are many bones everywhere, and there is not even a living person in many villages and towns. In order to save the people, my father told the first emperor that the gods lived in the overseas fairy island for a long time. Go to sacrifice."

"I know that the first emperor agreed to Xu Fuzhi's request, so he sent Xu Fu thousands of boys and girls to the sea to find medicine. However, he led the crowd to the sea, but did not find the fairy mountain. Later, Qin Shihuang visited Langya in the east. When he went to the audience, the first emperor asked about the search for immortals. Xu Fu said that after he went out to sea, he encountered a dragon making trouble, and all those who went to search for immortals died in the sea. He asked to send more people and find more boys and girls to continue to search for medicine in the sea. Coincidentally, at that time, the first emperor had a dream, dreaming that he was fighting the dragon, so he agreed to Xu Fu's request, and also prepared several years of food, clothing, and farm tools for him, allowing him to go to the sea again to seek immortals." Di Qing blinked her eyes and said.

Wanyu said: "Sister Qing'er said, should it be the records of later generations? This record is somewhat different from the real situation. In fact, my father brought the first batch of virgins to 'Pingyuan Guangze', that is, Today’s Dongying. But my father still wanted to save more people, so he returned to the Central Plains again. He said that he met Jiaolong on the sea and wanted to find more virgins and virgins to go to the East China Sea to find immortals. The first emperor did agree to his father’s request. He ordered to find [-] pairs of boys and girls from the six kingdoms, and let father and lord go to the sea again to find immortals. However, the first emperor had another purpose in going to sea this time."

"Oh? What's the purpose?" Di Qing asked impatiently.

Yan Nanfei took over the conversation and said: "The Emperor Shi Huang heard that his lord father encountered a dragon at sea, so he wanted to catch the dragon and bring it back, and use it as a divine beast to guard the imperial mausoleum."

"Ah? This is just Xu Fu's casual remark. Could it be that Emperor Shi Huang took it seriously?" Di Qing asked in surprise.

Yan Nanfei nodded heavily, and said: "Just now you said that Emperor Shihuang had a dream, in which he was fighting a dragon. And at this moment, my lord father also said that he had met a dragon, which convinced the first emperor. .”

After a pause, Yan Nanfei continued: "In order to catch Jiaolong, the First Emperor sent the most elite team to go to sea with father. My father had rescued nearly a thousand boys and girls before. If we take this team to the 'plain' Guangze', the consequences were unimaginable. Therefore, my father took us to sail in the sea for more than half a month, trying to deliberately delay the time. However, I did not expect that we actually encountered Jiaolong near Penglai Island!"

"You met Jiaolong?" Di Qing asked in surprise.

Yan Nanfei nodded solemnly, and said, "That dragon has several heads, and it looks very strange. When that elite team encountered the dragon, they unleashed their bows and crossbows, and the dragon was no match for the strength of the Qin crossbow. , and fled. For the next month, the team was trying to catch the dragon. But the dragon went to hide in the cave and never came out again. At that time, the time limit given to them by the first emperor was three months, and the time limit was approaching. The general in charge of catching Jiaolong thought of a way. They made a trap at the entrance of the cave, and then used boys and girls as bait to lure Jiaolong out of the cave. Although the father strongly objected, they could not stop them at all. They caught ten A few boys and girls were tied together with ropes, but they were driven into the Jiaolong Cave."

Hearing this, Di Qing involuntarily let out an ah.

"This general is so vicious, he doesn't care about his life or death for the sake of a dragon?" Di Qing cursed bitterly.

Li Canghai frowned, looked at a few people, and said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, the boys and girls who are being used as bait are you, right?"

Yan Nanfei and the others turned pale, as if recalling something extremely terrifying.

After a while, Yan Nanfei continued: "Yes, it is indeed us. After we entered the Jiaolong cave, we already knew that there is death and there is no life. But I didn't expect that the cave is extremely deep and the inside is intricate. Let's walk in it. After waiting for a long time, I didn't see Jiaolong, so I found a hidden place, took out the dagger that my lord father secretly gave me, and cut the rope."

Wanyu wiped the fine beads of sweat from her nose, and said to Yan Nanfei, "Let me tell you about the next thing. At that time, although we cut off the rope, there were Qin soldiers guarding outside, so we didn't dare to act rashly." Go out. But stay where you are, but worry about encountering Jiaolong, so you decide to continue along the intricate road. I don’t know how long you walked, but you came to an open cave. There are lush vegetation growing in this cave. There is a hot spring inside. The most amazing thing is that there is a fruit tree growing in the hot spring, and the fruit tree bears unknown fruits. At that time, we were so hungry that we rushed up desperately and picked the fruit from the tree. I ate it."

"What happened after that? What happened after that?" Di Qing asked impatiently.

"Afterwards... we all fell into a coma. We didn't know how long it took before we woke up. Because we were afraid of Qin Bing, we hid in the cave for a few days before quietly leaving the cave. Unexpectedly, the entire island There is no one there." Wanyu said.
