Grant immortality?
Ye Qin glanced at Qin Shihuang and did not answer.
Everyone in the world wants to seek immortality, but immortality is not so easy to find. Even Ye Qin today does not dare to boast that he will live as long as heaven.
"Why do you want to live forever?"
Seeing that Ye Qin did not reject him directly, Qin Shihuang felt happy and pondered for a moment:
"Although the empire is unified now, it is still in turmoil. The old nobles of the six countries are dormant, and the Huns are watching. If I die, where will this country go? I don't want the foundation that I have worked hard to build to be destroyed. There are still so many There are so many things that I haven’t done yet, I want to achieve eternal success, and even more, I want to be famous throughout history!”
Qin Shihuang talked eloquently, with ambitions and desires in his eyes, as well as worries and plans for the country. It was such complex emotions that built a flesh-and-blood character, not just a few words recorded in history books.
Later generations have both praise and criticism for Qin Shihuang. Some people think that he was cruel and unkind, centralized the monarchy, burned books and humiliated Confucian scholars, used torture, strengthened ruling ideas and speech, and made the people live in dire straits.
Others believe that he established the great unified dynasty of the Daxia nation. The chariots and books were on the same track, and the weights and measures were unified, which would benefit the future. He also reused talents and built the Great Wall to resist the harassment of the Xiongnu.
"So you want to continue the Qin Empire?"
Ye Qin hit the nail on the head and saw through the innermost thoughts of Qin Shihuang. He single-handedly established this dynasty, and naturally hoped that this dynasty would never be destroyed.
However, flowers bloom and fall, and the rise and fall of all things has its own destiny. How can it be intervened by human power? Even if a saint is alive, he dare not say that he has such ability.
Qin Shihuang nodded, "If I can live forever, the empire will naturally prosper forever. As long as I don't die, the people of this world will naturally live in peace."
He believes in his ability. If he is given enough time, he will be able to fulfill his ambitions and expand the country's territory so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
Seeing that Ye Qin didn't speak, Qin Shihuang looked puzzled and asked, "Don't you believe in my ability?"
"I succeeded to the throne at the age of 13, conquered six countries and became emperor at the age of 39. After that, I carried out many reforms, opened up territories, unified the country, unified the writing system, and established the system of counties and counties. Who can reach my level?"
Qin Shihuang's tone was full of conceit and pride. He did have this capital. After all, the achievements were all here. Although there were some harsh tortures, it was undeniable that the unification of the Qin Dynasty accelerated the overall cultural process of Daxia.
His reign lasted only a few decades. Some people in later generations said that if Qin Shihuang had lived longer, the process of Daxia might have moved forward for a hundred years.
It is a pity that the Qin Dynasty died in the third generation. Less than three years after the death of Qin Shihuang, the Qin Dynasty fell into pieces, and the Ying clan was also slaughtered.
"You still don't understand."
Qin Shihuang was even more troubled, and subconsciously bent over, his posture could be said to be respectful and pious, "Please ask the fairy to clear up my doubts."
Unconsciously, a layer of hazy mist appeared around him. Ye Qin's figure was looming in the mist, and the breath of time fluctuated again.
"Follow me."
Qin Shihuang's mind became a little confused. After hearing this voice, he stood up subconsciously, but his whole body felt light and airy, as if he was walking on the clouds, and his entire vision became much higher.
Realizing something was wrong with his body, he looked back.
I saw someone exactly like him below!
The man closed his eyes tightly and breathed long and calmly, as if he was asleep. Could this be the legendary soul leaving the body?
If he had doubts before, after seeing this miraculous method, Qin Shihuang could be said to be convinced at this moment. He was not worried that Ye Qin would take the opportunity to harm him. If he wanted to do it, he had too many opportunities before.
Qin Shihuang followed Ye Qin and saw that the space was chaotic and the visibility was extremely low. He was confused and said in a respectful tone: "I don't know what the demon immortal wants."
"Wait a moment."
Qin Shihuang didn't know why. He saw Ye Qin looking into the distance with a far and long sight. He also looked over, but there was nothing.
"Rumble--"
There was a rumbling sound not far away, as if something was speeding towards them.
Sooner or later, I saw a long river falling from the sky, surging forward, as if a huge gap opened in the sky, and countless years of time poured down.
Waves as high as half a man rolled up in the long river. The waves were turbulent, and several human figures appeared inside. Along with countless war horses neighing, gold and iron horses, flags swaying, and the sound of fighting echoed throughout the sky, forming a lifelike scene.
Qin Shihuang's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his breathing became rapid, "Is this?!"
As the river got closer and closer, Qin Shihuang could see more clearly. It was clearly the scene of the war between the six countries. The figures were so real, and even their expressions were meticulous, as if a real battle was taking place in front of his eyes.
The death and shadows caused by the war formed a black aura that spread around, and even the water turned bright red.
In the era of chaos among the six kingdoms, the world was not at peace and the people were in turmoil. It could be said that the people were in dire straits and too many people died.
"The six countries have not been destroyed by me, how could it be possible?"
Qin Shihuang soon understood that this was the magical method of the demon fairy to show the scene again.
Just why did the demon fairy let him see this?
Ye Qin seemed to be aware of Qin Shihuang's doubts, "You continue to read."
Now in the time segment, he can use many methods, and they are extremely magical. Many magical powers that cannot be used in reality can be realized here.
Soon the six kingdoms perished one after another under the iron cavalry of the Qin army. Qin Shihuang also saw countless familiar people among them, and even some were deceased. Some were enemies and some were friends.
It's just that now they appear in front of him in another form. No matter what, he is the final winner.
Seeing the scene of him ascending the throne, ruling the world, and being worshiped by all the people, the corners of Qin Shihuang's mouth unconsciously curved.
However, the good times did not last long. After his death, mobs broke out in various places and revolted one after another. The empire he built was crumbling.
The once huge and arrogant Qin State collapsed in an instant, and the unified dynasty established by the ancestors after more than 500 years of struggle was destroyed in one fell swoop. It can be said that "the peak is the end."
The smile on Qin Shihuang's face froze in place. He looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief and his eyes were splitting. "How could this happen! I don't believe that even if I die, Qin will not be able to weaken so fast!"
Under Qin Shihuang's assumptions, even if he could not live forever, according to his previous policies, the Great Qin Empire could last at least a hundred years. How could it only exist in such a short period of time.
However, the picture in front of me cannot deceive anyone.
Looking at the empire that was gradually dissipating, Qin Shihuang suddenly stretched out his hand to grab it, but it was in vain. He didn't catch anything. He became a little lost.
Qin Shihuang had never been so out of his mind. Under the violent movements, even his hair became a little messy.
He pretended to be calm, still holding on to weak hope in his heart, like a drowning man grasping at the last straw, "Demon Fairy, none of this is true, is it?"
Judging from the previous destruction of the six kingdoms and the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the things that emerged on the river were all real and happened, so the Qin Dynasty would eventually be destroyed.
Ye Qin didn't answer him. Qin Shihuang already had the answer in his heart. He couldn't help but look despairing and couldn't help but murmur to himself: "How could this happen? What link went wrong? Why did the Qin Dynasty exist for such a short period of time?" "
History will never change because of one person. Time keeps moving forward and will not be changed by external forces. It appears to be extremely cruel and just. All living beings are equal, and no one is exempt.
The behemoth Qin Dynasty staggered along the long river of history, like a dying old man, and finally came to an end. The demise of one dynasty heralded the rise of another dynasty.
Several waves burst out, all representing the glory of an era and the splendid history, not only the Qin Dynasty, but also the Han Dynasty that followed, and even the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Each wave has a long or short existence, some are short-lived, and some can last for hundreds of years, but no matter what kind of waves, they can't withstand the crushing of time.
The serious light of Qin Shihuang also extinguished little by little. From the initial confusion and anger, he gradually became calmer and stared at the scene in front of him.
Time goes by and the years change. No matter how huge the empire is, it will one day perish. Nothing is immortal.
This is a historical necessity that no one can change, even if the saint is alive, he is helpless.
Qin Shihuang was a participant in history, and now he is also a witness. He pointed at the years and witnessed the rise and fall of a dynasty in a blink of an eye. His eyes were a little dazed, as if he didn't quite understand.
The long river flows very fast, and all the waves settle in the tunnel of time, all of which are sealed up. These are the remaining memories of history, but Ye Qin showed them to him in a unique way.
Standing at the head of the long river, they could only watch the rolling river flow eastward, sinking into the endless nothingness. The unknown wind blew slowly, and everything disappeared. They became a member of this huge history, and also a part of the history books. A few strokes of it.
Qin Shihuang slowly opened his eyes. Those sharp and unfathomable black eyes seemed to have lost some desire and ambition at this moment, and seemed to have gained something else.
The scene just now kept flashing in Qin Shihuang's mind, but he couldn't remember it clearly, as if a hazy veil shrouded his memory, blurring his memory.
But even so, he already knew the result, but he didn't remember the process.
Because it involves what happened in later generations, in order to avoid historical changes, Ye Qin used such methods.
Even a small butterfly flapping its wings could cause a tsunami, and Ye Qin did not dare to take it lightly.
If it really changes history and involves the fate of tens of thousands of people, I am afraid that the causes and effects on him will be countless, and the impact will be incalculable.
That's why Ye Qin took action to blur Qin Shihuang's memory just now. Although he knew what happened just now, he couldn't recall the specific content.
Of course, this is a fragment of time after all, and everything is just in case.
"Do you understand?"
After a long time, Qin Shihuang nodded slowly.
To be known as the emperor of the ages, he naturally has his own merits. He is indifferent to emotions and anger, has a strong ability to accept, and can face it calmly. This is why Ye Qin is willing to mention him.
"No dynasty lasts forever, no matter how great that dynasty is, so your wishes are bound to fail."
"The grass and trees will flourish and wither on their own, and all things will be content with themselves. Everything in the world has its own reason for functioning, and nothing can be forced."
Qin Shihuang carefully considered the meaning of Ye Qin's words, and he didn't know what he thought of. His black eyes, like stagnant water, once again caused some ripples.
"You just said, Demon Immortal, that there is no dynasty that lasts forever, so how dare you ask if anything in this world can last forever?"
Ye Qin showed admiration, and it was effortless to talk to smart people.
"Of course he is a monk."
"A monk?"
"Yes."
"It is impossible for you to build a great and everlasting empire through immortality, but if you can use your own power to change your inherent thoughts, you may not be able to reach the other side."
Under Ye Qin's explanation, a mysterious and mysterious new world appeared in front of Qin Shihuang's eyes.
His words were vivid but not complicated, fascinating, and seemed to have some kind of magic power. Qin Shihuang's originally uneasy heart gradually calmed down.
…
At this moment, the guards outside almost jumped in haste. Seeing that the time for burning incense had passed, there was still no movement from inside the gate.
They even put their ears to it, and it was so quiet that there was no sound. If they hadn't seen Qin Shihuang walk in with their own eyes, they would have almost thought that there was no one there at all.
The nearby Qin army has been mobilized by them. Under the iron cavalry, the mountains and forests are filled with a sense of killing. It feels like the wind is roaring and the trees and grass are all soldiers.
"Your Majesty hasn't come out yet, so he must have encountered something unexpected."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your Majesty is the First Emperor, so nothing will happen to you."
As time passed bit by bit, everyone's hearts gradually hung in their throats. If something happened to the First Emperor, they would be entirely responsible for their death.
Compared to everyone's anxiety, Meng Tian seemed a little calm, as if he was sure that nothing would happen to Qin Shihuang.
The guards next to him were even more furious when they saw his appearance, "General Meng, I originally thought you were loyal to His Majesty, but now it seems that you are nothing more than that. It's really eye-opening for us."
Meng Tian glanced sideways at him, his aura calm and intimidating, "What do you mean? I have no second thoughts about Da Qin and His Majesty, and it is your turn to make irresponsible remarks here!"
The guard's eyes were on fire, "If it weren't for you, how could His Majesty's life or death be unknown?!"
"I have already said that what your Majesty is meeting is a demon fairy. The demon fairy has great skills and will never do anything harmful to your majesty."
"We haven't seen any monsters. You are clearly colluding with the monsters and intending to overthrow our Great Qin Empire."
The two people's eyes collided in mid-air, neither of them gave way, and they were immediately filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Seeing that the two of them were at war with each other and almost came to blows, the leader of the guards separated the two, "What time has it been? You are still arguing here, and now the quarter of an hour is up."
Looking at the still silent door, everyone's heart sank.
"His Majesty once said that if he doesn't come out within a quarter of an hour, he will let the cavalry level the mountain!"
Meng Tian's face changed slightly, "Absolutely not! If we level this mountain, it will definitely make the demon immortal angry, and we cannot afford such consequences."
"When will you return to the Demon Immortal? Which one is more important, the Demon Immortal in your mouth, or Your Majesty!"
Just as everyone was arguing, a majestic voice sounded.
"What are you arguing about?"
Everyone followed the sound and saw Qin Shi Huang appearing at the door, and they quickly knelt down.
"His Majesty."
Qin Shihuang nodded and slowly walked out of the gate. Strangely enough, there was no obstacle this time.
I don't know if it was an illusion of Meng Tian and others, but I always felt that some kind of change had occurred in Qin Shihuang, but I couldn't tell the specifics.
If he used to be an unfathomable ancient pool, elusive, but occasionally his emotions could be glimpsed, but now he seems like an outsider, with all his emotions restrained, like an endless abyss.
Meng Tian looked at him secretly and seemed to notice his gaze. Qin Shihuang looked over and said in a calm voice: "What's the matter with General Meng?"
Facing those black eyes, Meng Tian shuddered subconsciously, feeling the overwhelming pressure. He quickly lowered his head, the fear in his heart not lessening but increasing.
"I dare to ask Your Majesty if you have seen the demon fairy?"
Qin Shihuang nodded slowly, his tone full of respect and unnoticeable fear, "I saw it, and I benefited a lot."
It is hard to imagine that such words came from the mouth of Qin Shihuang.
Everyone was stunned and thought they were hallucinating.
The leader of the personal guards blurted out subconsciously, "There are real demons and fairies in this world!"
Realizing that he had lost his composure, he quickly apologized and said, "Your Majesty, I have lost my composure."
Qin Shihuang waved his hands, looked back at the silent Shangqing Temple, with a somewhat complicated look on his face, and murmured: "Demon Immortal, you must remember your eternal covenant with me!" (End of Chapter)
