Fusu stared at Meng Tian, looking up and down carefully.
Young Master Fusu's reputation for kindness is known all over the world. What's rare is that Fusu's kindness is not a persona, but true kindness from the heart.
However, benevolence does not represent the benevolence of women!
He was the eldest son of the First Emperor, and with the First Emperor's great talent and broad strategy, how could he give birth to a son who had no bottom line and was benevolent?
Fusu's benevolence is only for the good people in the world!
Regarding Fang Shi, his attitude was no different from Meng Tian's, they both wanted to kill him!
First, it was because the alchemists dared to deceive the First Emperor, which tarnished the First Emperor's reputation as a holy king.
Historiographers these days are all hard-headed and would never say such shameless words as "history serves politics." The First Emperor searched the world and killed nine thousand people in three days. This kind of thing will be recorded in the history books by the historians and cannot be changed.
This is so cruel!
Even though the First Emperor was a genius and had the great cause of unifying the world, he could not reverse the cruel name he would leave in the history books!
If there were no alchemists to deceive him, how could he have reached this point?
Secondly, the First Emperor valued alchemists, and the whole world followed his example. Let's not talk about how much food the two hundred and seventy temples consume every day. The local area alone is complaining endlessly because of supporting these so-called fake doctors.
Moreover, many alchemists took the rice provided by the local area and did not want to repay their kindness, but instead took advantage of the local preferential treatment, fish and meat countryside.
During Fusu's journey, he discovered dozens of cases of alchemists occupying people's fields, even robbing other people's wives and daughters, and defrauding property in the name of curing diseases. This is the most minor case!
What's more, by taking advantage of the government's lenient treatment of the foreign soldiers in the casting of gold and iron, privately forged weapons and armor were made by local wealthy families, but the government was unable to make them!
I don’t dare to control it!
This is the source of chaos in the world!
Therefore, the alchemist must die, which has become an obsession in Fusu's heart.
Including those Confucian scholars who pretended to be alchemists, they also deserved to die!
However, today, as a general, Meng Tian actually said that he had to meet a strange person!
Putting aside other things, the mere existence of the alchemy furnace is enough to prove that the so-called stranger is actually an alchemist, right?
Moreover, might Meng Tian not know?
If you don’t know this, how can you become a general?
"General," Fusu's eyes flashed, "Do you believe in gods?"
"I don't believe it!" Meng Tian shook his head without hesitation. If he believed it, there would be no need to worry about the identity of the stranger.
"Since you don't believe it," Fusu said meaningfully, "then how can you say that he is a stranger, and he is a stranger with an alchemy furnace?"
Fusu deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the words "There is a stranger in the alchemy furnace", and the meaning is very obvious.
If you have an alchemy furnace, you are an alchemist, and the alchemist claims that he is making elixirs.
But since immortality does not exist at all, where does the alchemist's elixir come from? Aren't all their claims about obtaining the Dharma taught by immortals lies?
"It's not an immortal, maybe it's a heavenly being." Meng Tian also frowned.
He naturally understood what Fusu meant, but he himself did not know the answer to this question.
"Heaven?" Fusu smiled.
Half of it was because of anger, and half of it was because it was funny.
Immortals and heavenly beings sound similar, and most people in the world confuse them. In fact, there are subtle differences.
Immortals, what alchemists seek, originate from the witches of Chu. They are the reverence of the ancient Chu people for the sun, moon, heaven and earth, mountains, rivers and other things, saying that they have spirits and will not die unless they eat them.
Heaven and man are what Taoists want. Since Lao and Zhuang, there have been Taoists in the world, who say that all things have their own reasons. If you can identify things and understand their reasons, you will naturally know the way.
Fusu had been fond of reading since he was a child, and had dabbled in literature from various schools of thought, so he naturally knew the difference between the two. However, he knew better that the difference between the two was more in genre and name.
The alchemist said that the mountains, rivers and swamps have spiritual energy, so they can make elixirs in the mountains, rivers and swamps, hoping to seize the spiritual energy of the mountains, rivers and swamps for their own use and make themselves immortal.
Taoists believe that the reason why mountains, rivers, and swamps last forever is because they have a way to last forever. If you figure out this way, you will naturally be able to be like mountains, rivers, and swamps, which will last forever.
In the final analysis, it’s all for longevity!
In an age where hundreds of schools of thought are contending, each school of thought is taking advantage of its own strengths and perfecting its theories. Taoists and alchemists with similar theories have already copied each other. You have me, and I have you.
"General," he said seriously, "Heavens, humans, and immortals are one and the same."
"Our trip south this time is not based on the identity of the school, but on the basis of its conduct."
He said seriously: "If you have the behavior of an alchemist, you are an alchemist, whether he is a Taoist, an immortal, or a Confucian and Legalist!"
Meng Tian's expression moved slightly, and he raised his hands seriously: "I now know the benevolence of the young master!"
He bowed to the young master Fusu sincerely. There were very few books these days and few people were qualified to learn knowledge. Therefore, the world highly respects knowledge, and still retains the enthusiasm and simplicity that can lead to death in the morning and evening.
Even though Meng Tian was born in the Jiuqing family, he was not exempt from the secular world.
He knew very well that Da Qin was a legalist, and legalists firmly believed that human nature was inherently evil, and they needed to use severe punishments to force them to do good.
It means that no matter who you are, you are born a criminal, and it is the law of the country that forces you to be a good citizen. If the father is a prisoner, then the son born will be a very evil person and must be dealt with severely.
If ordinary people discard ashes on the road, it is not because of laziness, but because they are dissatisfied with His Majesty the First Emperor's decree that "all ashes of plants and trees must be put into the fields for fertilizer" and need to be killed.
If the prisoner's son had done this, the evidence would have been exposed and the whole family would be killed.
According to later generations, it is called Shanggang Shangxian.
However, the benevolence of the young master Fu Su only focused on his actions and did not punish his heart. If you abandon ashes in the Tao, you will be held responsible for abandoning the ashes in the Tao. There is no need to kill, let alone sit down with the whole family and beat them up.
Young Master Fusu had a smile on his face. Although he was the eldest son of the First Emperor, he had just lost his crown at this time. It was obviously extremely rare for him to be praised by Meng Tian, the God of War of the Qin Dynasty.
He also handed over his hand, preparing to be humble, but unexpectedly, Meng Tian's hand quickly dropped.
"Young Master," Meng Tian said seriously, "Since the Young Master is benevolent, but I don't know the Young Master's benevolence, how can I show it to the people of Chu?"
Young Master Fusu's smile froze on his face, and he said in shock: "What do you mean, General?"
"To be honest, young master, I am now in a dilemma."
Meng Tian said honestly: "Yesterday when I went to Yunmeng Mountain, I gave an order that if there is a god in the mountain, I will bow to him as a general. If not, I will kill all the Chu people in Yunmeng County."
"However, the strange people on the mountain are quite mysterious, which makes me hesitate."
"If I recognize him as a god, I will violate the First Emperor's three-kill order. If I don't recognize him, two thousand Chu people will be slaughtered."
He bowed his hands respectfully again: "Young Master is the eldest son of the First Emperor, and he has a name. Please give me your advice!"
Fusu vomited a mouthful of old blood.
He looked at Meng Tian in disbelief, tears flowing in his heart.
Despite what the general said, Fusu was no fool.
He immediately heard that General, this meant that he was going to take the blame!
All he wanted to do now was roar.
General!
Why did you cheat on me!
