Jiang Chuan still carried out the matter of entering Qi alone.

Although Ru Shuang wanted to go along and see her daughter's condition with her own eyes, she also knew that all the people Jiang Chuan cared about were here. Even though this place was close to the real Shu Mountain, Jiang Chuan had an excellent relationship with the Shu Mountain tribe. If an accident really happened, he could ask Shu Mountain for help.

But Ru Shuang still has to protect this place when Jiang Chuan is not around.

After all, the Shushan tribe were outsiders, while she was one of Jiang Chuan's own people.

So, not long after Jiang Chuan returned the Jingni Sword to Ru Shuang, he took it back from Ru Shuang.

So returning the sword was actually a waste of time.

The distance from Shu to Qi was naturally quite far.

But that's only in comparison to ordinary people.

For a Grandmaster like Jiang Chuan, who is at the pinnacle of power, he can fight around the clock; while others rest, he does not.

His walking speed was far faster than that of horses or similar vehicles.

In just a few days, he traveled day and night and arrived in the land of Qi and Lu. It should be noted that it would normally take a normal person at least half a month, or even several months, to travel by horse-drawn carriage.

This is a common problem of our time: transportation is too underdeveloped.

A message can take anywhere from a few months to several years to travel from the central government to the local level.

Sometimes, even when the emperor has passed away, the people at the bottom of society are unaware of it.

The most prominent example is Liu Ji in history. After becoming an outlaw, he admired Lord Xinling's character and went to Xinling to seek refuge with him. However, when he arrived in Xinling, he found that Lord Xinling had been dead for many years and the grass on his grave was already several feet tall.

However, Liu Ji did indeed admire Lord Xinling very much. Even after he became emperor, he would often go to Lord Xinling's tomb to pay his respects.

Upon arriving in the land of Qi again, Jiang Chuan had no intention of sightseeing.

Several years ago, he came to Qi from Yan. On the way, he met Gongsun Liji. Together with Gongsun Liji, he traveled almost all over Qi and was quite familiar with the country. It was because he had already traveled there once that he lost interest in traveling.

However, he also noticed that the atmosphere in the State of Qi was much more oppressive than the relaxed atmosphere he had experienced during his previous visit.

In the past, because of its friendly relations with Qin, the people of Qi forgot about war and lived a peaceful life, never worrying about anything, unlike other countries that were afraid of being invaded by Qin.

But things are different now. Qin has destroyed five states in succession. Originally, Qin did not border Qi. Qin could attack Qi from multiple directions.

While Qi and Qin had a good relationship in the past, that was then. Now, apart from Qin, only Qi remains in the world.

Will the ambitious Qin state really let the Qi state go?

Within the State of Qi, there were not only those who were content with the status quo and only knew how to live a life of comfort, but also those who were concerned about the country and its people. According to their accounts, the State of Qin might invade Qi at any time.

This created an extremely oppressive atmosphere throughout the entire state of Qi.

However, there are some people who want to save the country.

But with the other five states already destroyed, how could they possibly save the State of Qi?

After all, the State of Qi today is no longer the State of Qi of the past.

If it weren't for Tian Dan's use of the fire ox formation to break through the city and recover eighty cities in a single day, the State of Qi would have been destroyed by the State of Yan long ago.

Chapter 392 The Land of Langya, Mount Tiantai!

The State of Qi, Langya Commandery.

This place is quite famous, with a well-known scenic spot called Langya Terrace. Langya Terrace is surrounded by the sea on three sides and connected to the land on one side. It is named Langya Terrace because the mountain is shaped like a platform in Langya.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the state of Yue conquered the state of Wu. King Goujian of Yue, desiring to dominate China, moved his capital to Langya in his twenty-fifth year of reign and erected a viewing platform to overlook the East China Sea. After Qin unified the six states, the First Emperor ascended Langya and relocated 30,000 households to the area below the platform, rebuilding it. From then on, Langya became famous throughout the land.

However, since the Qin state had not yet unified the world at this time, Ying Zheng did not perform the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai or visit Langya Terrace. Although this place was quite famous in the Qi state, it was nothing special.

Xu Fu was the head of the Jin family, one of the five elders of the Yin-Yang School, and his ancestral home was Langya County in the State of Qi.

But when Jiang Chuan actually arrived in Langya County, he found nothing.

He was not at home.

However, it was in Xu Fu's hometown that Jiang Chuan learned about his reputation.

The other party in this area is known as a living god. It is said that he is skilled in alchemy and qi cultivation. Whenever someone falls seriously ill, Xu Fu can capture them with ease.

Langya County is home to many alchemists, as it is close to the sea, which has always been shrouded in mystery for people. Some believe that traces of immortals exist on the vast ocean.

It is precisely because the sea is mysterious and rarely visited by humans that immortals would hide there, far from the mortal world.

These alchemists of Langya County dedicated their lives to seeking immortality by sea.

They do not belong to any of the schools of thought among the Hundred Schools of Thought, and compared with Taoism and Yin-Yang School, they lack its ideological theories. If we really want to examine them closely, they can be considered as another school that went to extremes during the formation of Taoism.

Xu Fu had been operating in Langya County for many years and had a great reputation among many alchemists.

These alchemists, for reasons unknown, repeatedly praised Xu Fu.

This was Xu Fu's first step in carrying out the Yin-Yang School's plan.

Cultivate your potential!

By establishing a great reputation here first, when Ying Zheng later had the idea of ​​going to sea to seek immortality, he would naturally think of this living immortal who had a great reputation in the land of Qi and Lu.

Besides, these alchemists, although not Taoists, Yin-Yang masters, or any of the schools of thought among the Hundred Schools of Thought, were still a force not to be underestimated.

Although the Yin-Yang School was backed by the Qin state, it still had a relatively small number of members.

If these people could be recruited into the Yin-Yang School's camp, it would mean having many more useful people.

Besides this, Xu Fu arrived in the State of Qi ahead of time for another purpose: to investigate sea routes.

Although the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon have not been fully assembled, according to the research of Yin-Yang School, the place this object points to is the vast ocean.

The Yin-Yang School is not actually good at how to go overseas.

But in this world, there are always people who excel at something.

For example, the people of Qilu have a long history of seeking immortality by going to sea, and they have repeatedly gone to sea, so they have an extremely thorough understanding of this coastal area.

By befriending them, you can obtain nautical charts and accurate sea routes.

We are now only one step away from unifying the world.

There are some things that need to be prepared for.

Jiang Chuan already knew many of the Yin-Yang School's plans from Xiang Jun and Xiang Furen.

After that, they began searching for Xu Fu's whereabouts.

Near Langya lies a famous mountain called "Tiantai Mountain".

The Bamboo Annals, a historical record of the Wei Kingdom, states: "Outside the East Sea, there is a mountain called Tiantai, with a ladder to heaven and a platform for ascending to immortality, where the feathered immortals reside. Tiantai is a mountain carried on the back of a divine turtle, floating in the sea for countless years. Only when Nuwa cut off the turtle's legs to establish the four poles, and seeing that the immortal mountain had no place to settle, did she move it to the shore of Langya."

This mountain later became the birthplace of the Fangxian Dao (the Way of Immortals), holding a revered position.

When Jiang Chuan heard of this mountain, he immediately became very interested in it, even though he had not found Xu Fu's whereabouts. Of course, his interest was not only because this was the birthplace of the Fangxian Dao in later generations, but also because of a place in this mountain called "Tang Valley".

Sunrise over "Tang Valley" and sunset over "Yu Abyss". Yu Abyss is located in Shu Mountain and is a forbidden area guarded by the Shu Mountain clan for generations. For this reason, the "Yu Abyss Guardians" were specially created. Jiang Chuan once climbed Shu Mountain, saw the Fusang Divine Tree, and was even blessed by the Fusang Divine Tree. It can be said that the Fusang Divine Tree played a crucial role in his current physical abilities.

Now that I've suddenly heard about Tang Valley, which corresponds to Yu Yuan, I naturally want to go and see it.

In comparison, searching for Xu Fu was a secondary matter.

Mount Tiantai is not considered high. As the saying goes, there are no high mountains in the Qilu region. Even Mount Tai is only of average height. Moreover, Mount Tiantai is not very famous in the Qilu region. Its fame is limited to the Langya Prefecture and cannot be compared with Mount Tai.

But Jiangchuan developed a great interest in this because of Yuya.

At dawn, the sun rises above the sea, the morning mist lingers, and the mountains are shrouded in smoke, creating a scene that looks like a fairyland in the clouds.

Jiang Chuan strolled through the mountain mists, admiring the relics left by the Dongyi tribes. This place was the sacred site where Xihe, the ancestor of the Dongyi people, worshipped the sun god. It was the birthplace of Eastern sun worship and sun culture, and a holy place for the Dongyi people to worship their ancestors. Legend has it that there is a ladder to heaven and a platform for ascending to immortality on the mountain.

Legend has it that Jiang Ziya once comprehended military strategy on this mountain. Later, Peng Zu, the God of Longevity, visited this mountain, drank from the spring, and left behind the couplet: "Climbing this mountain, one severs the seven emotions and is beyond the three realms; drinking this water, one purifies the six desires and is no longer within the five elements." The horizontal inscription was "One more ladle." He named the spring Shenlong Spring. In the years that followed, countless hermits and masters cultivated themselves on this mountain. One of the more recent ones was called He Shang Gong, who is said to have attained enlightenment on this mountain. His disciple was the famous An Qisheng.

During his eastern tour, Qin Shi Huang met with An Qisheng three times when he passed through Langya.

However, Jiang Chuan has never heard of An Qisheng in this world.

I wonder if the other party is an alternate account of someone from the Yin Yang School.

The reason for this conjecture is that one of Chu Nan Gong's aliases is Huang Shi Laoren, or Huang Shi Gong.

In normal history, these were actually two completely different people and should not be confused at all.

Chapter 393 The Hometown of Fusang, the Remnants of Tang Valley!

Tiantai Mountain is not high; its highest peak is only a little over 200 meters high.

However, there were many relics in the mountains, so Jiang Chuan still spent a good amount of time exploring them.

Although it is not as famous as Mount Tai, it has been visited by so many famous people throughout history, leaving behind traces of their existence.

Jiang Chuan saw the couplet left by Peng Zu and had thought about leaving some words there, but after thinking about it, he felt that leaving the words "Jiang Chuan visited here" would feel strange and lack any class.

But after a moment's thought, Jiang Chuan ultimately did just that.

He raised his hand, and a sharp force appeared before his fingers. He traced the characters "Jiang Chuan is here" in the air, and they appeared in bold strokes.

I left my own mark, which can be considered as checking in at this mountain.
