Qin Tian was a little helpless.
Even though the tea leaves he took out were not extraordinary, they would still taste bitter and difficult to swallow. However, he did not expect that Liu Che could actually chew up the tea leaves and swallow them.
Helpless, Qin Tian had to give Liu Che another cup of tea.
Seeing Liu Che impatiently wanting to eat the tea leaves again, Qin Tiancai spoke helplessly.
"Your Majesty, this is not for swallowing, but for brewing. Don't eat it anymore."
According to Liu Che's way of eating, he might have finished all his tea before he finished speaking!
Liu Che's face turned red and he put down the teacup angrily.
"Immortal..." He opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Qin Tian.
"It's okay. Those who don't know are not guilty. Your Majesty has never tried this method of brewing tea, so it's normal."
How could Liu Che not know how to drink tea?
As early as a few years ago, he knew the experience of Qin Tian's conversation with Wei Qing from the secret letter sent back by Wei Qing.
Naturally, he also heard that Qin Tian's way of drinking tea was very different from the way people drink tea today.
Liu Che just pretended not to know, because he felt that the tea Qin Tian brought out must not be extraordinary, and eating it must be good for the body.
That's why he pretended not to know, just so he could eat more.
I thought that the immortal was very wealthy and wouldn't care about this. Maybe he would be happy to see himself making a fool of himself and would compensate him for something.
But he didn't expect that the immortal would be so down-to-earth and decisively tell him directly that he couldn't eat it.
This made Liu Che's face a little confused.
From a calculation point of view, even the emperor is not much different from his ministers who work hard to climb up the ranks and are obsessed with fame and wealth.
No one is higher than anyone else.
But the emperor is the emperor, and at least his level of thick-skinnedness cannot be compared to that of ordinary people.
Not long after, his expression remained normal and he said, "So that's it. I'm Xia Meng Lang. He doesn't understand things in the fairy world, and he made a lot of jokes for nothing."
Qin Tian smiled and said nothing.
He saw everything Liu Che said and did, and he didn't know what Liu Che was thinking.
But Qin Tian didn't point it out and let Liu Che perform.
The old god Qin Tian was here, drinking tea leisurely and contentedly, with no intention of speaking.
Liu Che wanted to pretend to be calm, but soon he started to feel restless.
One cup of tea after another without stopping.
This tea was indeed something extraordinary to drink in his stomach. Liu Che even felt that his body was gradually recovering its strength.
If this feeling could last forever, Liu Che might be able to endure it for a while longer.
But this effect was only achieved by the first three cups of tea. Later, apart from the delicious taste of the tea, Liu Che didn't feel anything strange at all.
After finally meeting the immortal, what he wanted was immortality, eternal domination of the world, and the achievement of supreme great deeds.
Now he was asked to sit and drink tea with the immortal here. He couldn't bear the thought.
"I don't know...why the immortal came to visit late at night?" Liu Che hesitated for a long time and finally asked.
"Aren't you looking for me?" Qin Tian said lightly: "Why did you come around and ask me what happened?"
Liu Che raised his head and met Qin Tian's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and was suddenly shocked.
He tried to take the lead in speaking, but Qin Tian calmly took it back again.
"This is the first time Liu knows that immortals have the ability to read minds?" Liu Che's expression tightened, and he felt something bad in his heart.
If immortals could read minds, wouldn't all my little thoughts have been clearly seen by the immortals?
After being frightened, Liu Che did not even dare to call himself me, but called himself Liu. His attitude could be described as extremely humble.
Qin Tian shook his head: "No one can pry into what others are thinking, and neither can I."
"It's just that everything His Majesty is thinking is written on his face. It's really easy to guess."
Qin Tian chuckled.
When it comes to what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was like, Qin Tian would only give a four-word evaluation: mixed success and failure.
First of all, there is no doubt about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's talent and strategy, and no one can deny his contribution to the Chinese nation.
But similarly, in his later years, this person was obsessed with magic and searched for immortals everywhere, which made the people miserable.
And in his later years, he gradually began to enjoy great achievements.
In other words, when he was young, this was called great talent and great strategy, but in his later years, when the national power of the Han Dynasty declined, this became a great success.
So much so that the country was in turmoil. Later, due to his addiction to alchemy, he eventually led to the disaster of witchcraft.
But at the same time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to realize his mistake in time and issued the Luntai Edict, negating his previous decision and pulling the Han chariot back from the edge of the cliff.
Generally speaking, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not a faint king, nor a tyrant. He had great talents and strategies, but he also made mistakes.
It's just that he can realize his mistakes in time and make up for it.
That's why it is said that "nothing is more meritorious than Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han".
Because it was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who established the powerful status of the Western Han Dynasty, and allowed the Western Han Dynasty to be pacified in the next hundred years, and all barbarians were submissive.
Whether it is the Zhaoxuan Zhongxing after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty or the prosperous Hanwu era when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in power, they are all inseparable from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty himself.
It can even be said that throughout the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties, he was definitely one of the people who had the greatest influence on the world.
As the founder of the centralized system, there is no doubt about the greatness of Qin Shihuang, and as the person who carried it forward, Liu Bang also made an equally indelible contribution to the Chinese nation.
But let Qin Tian say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who created "Anyone who offends our Han Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away" is no less important in history than the previous two.
Therefore, before meeting Liu Che in person, Qin Tian still had a good impression of him.
But when he actually met Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Qin Tian was a little disappointed.
It's not that he thinks Liu Che is unworthy of those historical evaluations, but compared with Ying Zheng, Liu Che has too much humanity and less divinity.
His achievements are indeed unmatched, but they are also based on the foundation of his predecessors.
It's not that Qin Tian looks down on Liu Che, it's just that Liu Che's calculations made Qin Tian quite unhappy and a little more disappointed.
Of course, Qin Tian can understand that since we are human beings, we have emotions and desires, and not everyone can suppress their desires.
Understanding is understanding, but Qin Tian can also reserve the right to dislike something.
As a person who also pursues immortality, compared with Liu Che, Qin Shihuang was a little more domineering and a little more compassionate towards the people of the world even when he was pursuing immortality.
But Liu Che was full of calculations and was a bit careless. Of course, Qin Tian didn't like such a person.
The atmosphere was strangely silent for a long time, but Liu Che couldn't hold it back in the end.
He knew that all the initiative in speaking would fall into Qin Tian's hands, but who made him the one asking for help?
"Excuse me, Immortal, how can I live forever?"
"Eternal life?" Qin Tian smiled faintly.
"How to live forever?"
"This..." Liu Che originally wanted to answer that he would live as long as heaven and earth and have no boundaries for eternity.
But on second thought, this was definitely not the answer Qin Tian wanted. Maybe Qin Tian's question had a deeper meaning, so he didn't speak in a hurry.
"Immortality...probably means being able to live forever and not grow old or die?"
Qin Tian chuckled: "I can't live forever, how can I make others live forever?"
"But aren't you...an immortal?" Liu Che asked cautiously.
"What about immortals?" Qin Tian shook his head: "Immortals also suffer from the three disasters and nine disasters. If they can't avoid them, they will lose their bones."
"All living beings in this world have to struggle to survive. Your Majesty, don't talk about those idiots' dreams, and come to something practical."
"I dare to ask the immortal, what is reality?"
Liu Che asked humbly.
"It's naturally not difficult to ensure that you are free from illness and disaster, and that you live a healthy life." Qin Tian said softly.
"But if you want to live forever, that's not impossible."
After hearing this, Liu Che's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I dare to ask the immortal, how can I live forever?"
After hearing the news, he couldn't care less about Qin Tian's contradiction just now, his eyes were filled with the desire for immortality.
"It's very simple. You only need to cast a few spells to make His Majesty unable to sleep. As long as your body is not damaged, even if you sleep until the end of the world, it's not a bad idea!"
"You can only wake up for one hour every hundred years." Qin Tian said lightly: "If your Majesty is willing, I can make your Majesty immortal right now."
"This... what kind of immortality is this?" Liu Che said in shock.
"Eternal life, immortality." Qin Tian said softly: "Isn't this a perfect fulfillment of His Majesty's request?"
Liu Che was silent.
"What about other than that?"
It would be nice to live a lifetime free from illness and disaster, but that was not what he wanted.
If he only desires these things, why should he seek immortals?
People are always greedy and always want to have more, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was no exception.
"Other than that, of course." Qin Tian said with a smile: "There is an elixir here. If you eat it, you will fall asleep."
"When you wake up, you need to follow the way of heaven. Before the time comes, you will still be a dead person. After you wake up, you will be immortal and have infinite miracles."
Liu Che had some concerns in his mind and was not attracted by Qin Tian's description.
"Then when will you wake up?"
Qin Tian glanced at Liu Che appreciatively. It seemed that this guy was not hopeless.
"I don't know." Qin Tian said frankly.
"Don't know?" Liu Che was shocked.
"Yes, I don't know what the world has become before I can wake up. The moment you take the elixir, everything about you will be handed over to the way of heaven."
"Your life, everything about you, has nothing to do with you, and has nothing to do with me, it only has to do with the way of heaven."
"As for whether there are any other side effects..." Qin Tian chuckled: "You can only seek answers from Heaven."
"I dare to ask the immortal, what is the way of heaven...?"
Qin Tian glanced at Liu Che, then pointed at Liu Che and then at himself.
Liu Che was a little confused. He didn't quite understand what Qin Tian meant.
"The way of heaven is you, me, and everything in this world. It is all-encompassing and everywhere."
Liu Che seemed to understand, but this was indeed the simplest explanation Qin Tian could think of and the easiest explanation for mortals to understand.
Although he didn't know what the way of heaven was, it was obvious that Liu Che couldn't accept the idea of entrusting all his wealth and life to an unknown existence.
Besides, what’s the point of such immortality?
When he wakes up, thousands of years later, he is alone, so what if he lives forever?
"Is there no other way?" Liu Che seemed a little unwilling to give up.
Qin Tian sighed slightly: "Why bother, why bother?"
"Everything you have is beyond the reach of many people in the world, so why do you still have to fill the gap of desire?"
"Immortal...what do you mean by this?"
"It's useless to say more, you realize it yourself, right?"
Qin Tian stretched out his index finger and lightly tapped Liu Che's forehead.
Seeing the finger approaching, Liu Che wanted to avoid it, but in his eyes, the finger was getting bigger and bigger, making it impossible to avoid it.
In the end, Liu Che only had that finger left in his mind.
When he woke up again, he felt like he was divided into countless parts, experiencing the joys, sorrows and joys of this world.
He is a soldier who died in the border battle, a general who was besieged, a child waiting for his father to return, and a husband waiting for his husband to return home.
He was also a parent who was devastated by the news of his child's death in battle, and he was also a soldier who still had nostalgia for the human world.
Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, seven emotions and six desires, everything was rushing towards his mind crazily at this time.
When Qin Tian collected these seven emotions and six desires, he never thought that they would be used at this time.
He collected the resentments and remaining memories of all the soldiers who died in battle he saw along the way, and stored them in the mailbox he had made before that sealed the remaining souls of the messengers.
These emotions and resentments finally turned into a ball of elixir with extremely rich black color.
It is said to be an elixir, but it is intangible, intangible, and tasteless.
Just now, Qin Tian sent this elixir into Liu Che's sea of consciousness.
The moment it came into contact with Liu Che's sea of consciousness, the elixir exploded instantly, and all the resentment and memories sealed inside flooded into Liu Che's mind.
This is tantamount to murder.
Of course, Qin Tian would not watch Liu Che die like this, so before Liu Che's true spirit was dispersed by the huge resentment, he used his spiritual energy to protect Liu Che's true spirit.
Apart from that, he made no further moves, allowing Liu Che's soul to sink endlessly in resentment.
These scenes of human tragedy, these life and death situations, these resentments... are all caused by Liu Che alone.
Qin Tian did not deny Liu Che's decision to fight against the Huns, but he could have done better. He could have made these people's deaths less worthless.
But because of his pursuit of immortality and his illusory desires, the entire man has to pay for his selfish desires!
This is a lesson for Liu Che, and it also makes him understand that if you want to get something, you have to pay for it.
Even the so-called freedom from illness and disaster was not something Qin Tian would give him if he wanted it.
When Liu Che woke up from his coma, it was already early the next morning.
The morning sun rose slowly, and a glimmer of light shone on Liu Che's face.
The dazzling sunlight awakened Liu Che.
"This... what on earth is..."
Liu Che groaned in pain, covered his forehead and sat up.
