In the twenty-eighth year of the First Emperor, Xu Fu wrote that there were three fairy mountains in the East China Sea: Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou. Immortals might live on them. He wanted to go to the East China Sea to find the fairy mountains and seek the elixir of immortality for the First Emperor.
After several years of preparation, building a large boat, building a fleet, preparing food, clothing, shoes, and various supplies, in the winter of the thirty-third year of the First Emperor, the trip finally took place.
Because the Qin calendar begins with October, winter is the first of the four seasons. In the first month of the thirty-third year of the First Emperor's reign, the alchemist deceived the First Emperor.
The First Emperor sent Zhang Ping to command the Qin Navy and ventured out to sea. Even if he lost his troops and generals, and suffered heavy losses, he could not return. He vowed to capture Xu Funai!
At this time, the Daqin Navy had arrived south of Fusang, and no one knew that Xu Fu actually appeared outside Langya!
The horse boat is small and light, but if there is only one person paddling, the speed will not be much faster.
Xu Fu was obviously not good at physical strength. He rowed hard a few more times and then stopped panting. He didn't even have the strength to continue sitting, but lay down weakly and panted.
But even though he was lying down on the boat, he still managed to raise his head, his eyes anxiously patrolling the sea.
However, after a while, he finally lowered his head dejectedly, patted the side of the ship and cried.
"Xianshan, why did you abandon me?"
It has been nearly half a year since he went to sea in winter to look for fairy mountains.
We have been living in the open for half a year. Although the East China Sea is usually calm and calm, after all, the East China Sea is still an ocean and is by no means a safe place.
In the past six months, he has encountered a big fish that swallowed a boat, encountered a storm at sea, and even encountered a so-called dragon sucking water. Because of the unfamiliar geography, he accidentally bumped into rocks in the sea and missed various dangers.
However, until he was homeless and had only a small horse-drawn boat beside him, he still could not find the fairyland on the sea.
A few days ago, Xu Fu ran out of food and water. Fortunately, he had been wandering on the sea for a long time and had a good understanding of things in the sea, and there were many small rocks and islands in the surrounding sea area. Xu Fu found a small island with many crabs and ate raw crabs to barely fill his stomach.
However, eating too many crabs is not good for your health, and Xu Fu still ate them raw. He thought he would die on the island and his body would become food for the crabs, but he didn't expect that when he was lying down waiting to die last night, he suddenly saw the glow rising into the sky in the distance!
Xu Fu, who had been weakened to the extreme, exerted his last strength, immediately climbed onto the horse boat and headed towards Xiaguang!
Although the horse boat is a small boat, it is still a bit big for one person.
In particular, the horse boat was originally a warship of the Great Qin Navy. It was not operated by one person. Even the oars were row oars, not oars on fishermen's boats.
Therefore, it took most of the night and half of the morning for Xu Fu to row his horse boat less than ten miles toward Xiaguang.
Rather than saying that it was Xu Fu who paddled over, it would be better to say that he floated over on the waves and paddled just to adjust the direction.
And the closer he got to Xiaguang's direction, the hotter his heart became.
Because along the way, he encountered a lot of big fish. These big fish came from all directions, and many of them were vicious fish with big mouths that could swallow a boat in one bite.
However, these big fish turned a blind eye to Xu Fu above their heads and just swam towards the direction of the glow.
Moreover, although it was far away, Xu Fu could still see a big fish leaping high and splashing water all over the sky through the glow of the rays.
The mist surrounding the glow is also extremely magical, and you can vaguely see the changing scenery of heaven and earth.
However, just when Xu Fu finally reached this sea area, the glow suddenly disappeared!
There was only a hazy mist left on the entire sea surface. Whether it was the big fish jumping high or the mist that could change the world, everything disappeared!
But he was exhausted at this time and could no longer move forward half an inch, so he could only drift with the tide.
Moreover, even if he still has the strength to return to Crab Island, he will only be able to survive for a few more days.
Fairy Mountain!
Tears flowed freely on Xu Fu's face.
He knew that the glow he had seen before must be related to the fairy mountain!
In order to search for the gods, he did not hesitate to put himself in danger. He thought that even the gods felt his sincerity and knew that he was about to die, so he deliberately fulfilled his long-cherished wish before his death.
However, it was like a dream.
"Am I not destined to be an immortal in this life?"
His voice was sad and heartbreaking at first, but soon became deeper.
Apparently exhausted and desperate, he had already begun to fall asleep.
At this moment, a voice sounded above his head.
"Xu Fu, you deceived the First Emperor and caused catastrophe to the world's scholars. How can you dare to say that you are destined to be immortal?"
Even in a coma, Xu Fu was still shocked!
This sound is like a bell and a bell, as thick as heaven and earth, and as misty as clouds and mist.
"I never deceived the First Emperor. I never asked for the First Emperor's golden beads, nor did I get involved with the beauties of the Six Kingdoms. The only thing I wanted was for the First Emperor to build a big boat so that I could go to sea to search for the immortal islands and seek immortality for the First Emperor. medicine!"
He spoke involuntarily.
"So, are you a true alchemist?" The ethereal and thick voice came up again. The two feelings were extremely contradictory, but incomparably harmonious.
"Of course I am a true alchemist! All I seek is immortality!"
Xu Fu couldn't help but answer again. He just felt that under this voice, all his inner thoughts were inescapable.
"Did you get what you asked for?" The voice sounded again, and Xu Fu couldn't help but feel sad.
"No!"
The mere word "ceng" has saved countless sufferings.
A sigh sounded, and the voice sounded again.
"Why do you live here?"
"I set out to sea on the order of the First Emperor on December 15th. I took advantage of the monsoon wind to travel eastward. I experienced storms, lost my way, and many other changes along the way. I arrived in Fusang on the 7th of January!"
"Because the fleet suffered heavy losses and the fairy mountain was never found, the captain did not want to return to Qin, nor did he want to go to sea with me again. He wanted to lead the soldiers and three thousand boys and girls to stand alone in Fusang."
"I wanted to kill me, but I only had a boatload of people to escape back to the ocean, and I wanted to go to the East China Sea to visit the fairy mountains. However, a month ago, I encountered a dragon sucking water, and my boat hit the rocks and was broken. The survivors had to use horse boats as seats. Boat."
"However, a few days later, Yu Qianxing made a mistake and strayed into a school of boat-eating fish. After the dragon sucked the water, the remaining dozens of people fell into the fish's belly. The rest of the guards risked their lives by jumping down to fight the giant fish, but Yu was lucky enough to survive alone."
Even in a coma, Xu Fu couldn't help crying.
He just felt endless fatigue welling up in his heart, full of grievances and unwillingness, and he didn't know who to tell.
He is from Langya. He grew up by the sea and heard many legends about the fairy mountains.
Later, he studied under Guiguzi, learning yin and yang, talismans, and academics, and became quite famous in Langya.
In the twenty-seventh year of the First Emperor's reign, he summoned scholars from all over the world. Although Xu Fu also knew the art of alchemy, what he liked most was stargazing and he was proficient in the art of holding stars. And the biggest wish in life is to go to sea to search for the legendary fairy mountain.
Therefore, in the twenty-eighth year of the First Emperor's reign, Xu Fu left Langya and was called to Xianyang. Then he proposed to the First Emperor that he wanted to visit the fairy mountains on the sea and seek medicine from the gods.
The legend of the fairy mountain has been circulating in Langya for a long time. The villagers in Langya County passed it down orally and vividly, and they all said that their ancestors had seen the fairy mountain in the sea.
Among them, there are some hanging high in the sky, and when the weather is extremely clear, you can see the fairy island faintly exposed in the sea from high places such as Langyatai and Zhushan.
Others just heard it, but Xu Fu was different. He learned Yin and Yang and knew how to guide the stars!
There is a key piece of knowledge in star-finding, which is to determine the direction by looking at the height of the stars and the angle they form with the horizon.
Therefore, although Xu Fu, as a Qin native, did not know that there was a big ball under his feet with a curved surface, and it was impossible to understand this theory, this did not prevent him from using the key factor of angle.
Just like when the Langya people go fishing at sea, if people on the shore keep staring, they will find that after the fishing boat moves forward for a certain distance, the hull begins to disappear under the waterline.
As the fishing boats gradually enter the sea, if the weather is fine, you can see the fishing boats completely disappearing under the waterline step by step.
If you climb higher at this time, you can see the entire ship again.
The boat is like this, so is the fairy mountain also like this?
If the fairy mountain on the sea is far away from Langya Terrace, then no matter how fine the weather is, it will be below the waterline and impossible for the Langya people to see.
And since it can be seen, it means that Fairy Mountain is not far from Langya, it is just outside Langya!
And it is very likely that it is within a hundred and fifty miles outside Langya!
Xu Fu calculated this based on the star-pulling technique, and Xu Fu was very confident about it.
And the facts also verified his conjecture.
It's a pity that the success fell short in the end.
Along the way, there were storms, giant fish swallowed the boat, dragons sucked the water, and epidemics...
In the original Huanghuang fleet, only Xu Fu was left, struggling to survive by eating raw crabs.
After going through all kinds of hardships, he finally found his destiny.
However, you are not allowed to get close!
…
The one who spoke was naturally Qin Tian.
When he asked Xu Fu just now, he used a little Taoist sound, and he already knew the life-telling technique. Although one can see through a person's past and present life with less than a glance, there is still no problem in ensuring that no one can lie in front of him.
To be honest, he was also a little curious.
As a time traveler, Qin Tian originally remembered the historical knowledge of Xu Fu's eastward journey. When he came to Langya this time, he heard the villagers talk about Xu Fu's voyage.
At that time, nearly ten giant boats were lined up, their sails covering the sky and the sun.
Three thousand boys and girls are all dressed in white, and Xu Fu is also wearing a fluttering crown, looking like an immortal.
I didn’t expect that within a few months, it would fall to this point!
He was standing on the bow of the horse boat with his hands behind his hands, looking at Xu Fu who was already unconscious, with emotion in his eyes.
The genus of alchemist comes from the witches of the Chu land in the past.
The Chu Wu learned the ancient methods of cultivating gods, humans, and gods. Although it was just a small path of ghosts and gods, in the final analysis, it was the same as the Qi Refiner. After all, they were both the path of cultivating gods and humans.
It's a pity that with the advent of the Age of Ending Dharma, only one descendant of Qin Tian is left among the Qi Refiners in the Qin Dynasty, while the alchemists, the descendants of the witches, have also declined.
Even their orthodoxy has been lost. From the original righteous path of heaven and man, they have turned into seeking immortals!
He even failed to find an immortal and turned into a swindler!
Hou Sheng and others are like this, and so is Xu Fu.
However, at this moment, Qin Tian found that he seemed to have misunderstood Xu Fu, and everyone in the world also misunderstood Xu Fu.
Xu Fu was actually a true alchemist who piously sought immortality!
