Text Volume Chapter 531 The sea, you are all water!

"What did you say to my nephew?"

When taking a boat from the harbor of Hexian County to Zhifu Island, Heifu saw his nephew Wei Yang in a daze, so he questioned Zhang Canglai, who was on the same boat.

"It's not a bad thing if young people know more about the truth."

Zhang Cang proudly touched the beard on his fat face and laughed.

After having been with Hei Fu for so many years, Zhang Cang found that it was okay at first. Hei Fu pretended not to understand anything and pestered him like a curious baby to ask questions. But later he stopped pretending and kept talking to him no matter what he said. , for example, "The ancient king Feng Chan was a fake, Chi You was actually a hero, and the Yellow Emperor's victory over the Yan Emperor was also fabricated by the Tian family's imperial scribes." Zhang Cang's scalp was numb from the shock.

Zhang Cang thought about it afterwards and felt that something was wrong!

"I, Zhang Cangcai, am the most knowledgeable person in the world and a follower of Xun Qing. I am an expert in everything. Why am I always led by a man who was born in the army and only took the time to learn half-dozen knowledge after his spare time in military affairs?"

But Zhang Cang really couldn't argue with Hei Fu, so he rolled his eyes and began to instill some things into Hei Fu's simple nephew, completely destroying the child's outlook on life.

Not to mention this, Zhang Cang even recommended himself: "I am willing to be your master in destroying the captives! I only need three hundred kilograms of brown sugar to make repairs!"

Hei Fu glanced at Zhang Cang, his eyes full of criticality.

"Three hundred pounds, you are not afraid of getting sick from eating it, and your knowledge is not bad, but..."

Hei Fu's tone and eyes were like holding a piece of fat in front of a meat stall in a market. He was very disgusted, which made Zhang Cang angry: "Just what?"

"It's just that my life is too indulgent and I don't know about abstinence. I'm afraid you will teach my son a bad lesson early. However, ice water is colder than water because of it, and green is better than blue. It's not impossible... Alas, brother Zihu, what are you talking about? I haven’t finished talking yet, where are you going?”

Zhang Cang staggered on the deck, turned around and sneered: "Disgusting, probably seasick. I'll go to the side of the ship to vomit for a while..."

"You guy."

Hei Fu pointed at the staggering figure of the fat man and laughed dumbly. He ignored Zhang Cang and walked to the other end of the boat to report the itinerary to Qin Shihuang.

This is a luxurious building ship. The deck building is extremely huge. The ship is tall and wide, with a building-like appearance. It can carry hundreds of people. The head and tail of the boat are carved in the shape of dragons, and many green feather flags are erected to enhance the prestige. It can be said that "riding on a water chariot and riding on a lotus cover, riding on two dragons and riding on chi".

In addition to the building boat they were riding on, there were also many ships with wings, such as large wings, middle wings, small wings, sterns, etc., each with different functions.

These ships were brought all the way from Kuaiji, because most of the ships in Qi were taken away by Yongmen Sima who opposed Qi when Qi fell. This was also the source of the pirates in Jiaodong.

The general of this Kuaiji boat division was called "Ren Xiao". He had served Wang Jian in the Ping Jiangdong and Kuaiji a few years ago and took over the captured Chu boat division. He later served as a commander in Kuaiji. This time he was specially transferred to escort the boat division. , Only then did Heifu know that the route from Yue Di to Qi Di had been opened long ago!

At that time, Zhang Cang also caught his ignorance and ridiculed him: "Three hundred years ago, the Wu army's navy sailed 800 miles and fought with Qi's army at Langya. Two hundred years ago, the Yue people made Langya their capital. If How can we connect with Kuaiji if there is no sea route?"

It seems that Heifu still underestimated the navigation technology of this era. However, no matter how great his efforts were, it was only limited to offshore navigation. Nowadays, even crossing the Bohai Sea from Jiaodong to Liaodong is an extremely difficult voyage.

In short, at this moment, there are at least hundreds of ships and thousands of people in this narrow bay. In addition to guarding against possible attacks by bandits, they are just to build up momentum for the emperor's visit to Zhifu Island.

"If you ask me, if all the ships are connected prow and stern, a wooden bridge can be built. Why bother to sail several miles out to sea? Do you want to experience the joy of seasickness?" Heifu secretly complained.

Qin Shihuang, Ye Teng and other ministers were also blowing the sea breeze near the dragon head at this time. Qin Shihuang was tall, holding the dragon head in his hand, holding his head high, his beard was blown by the sea breeze, not to mention very majestic, but in fact, his face was not How good...

His Majesty the Emperor has been in Guanzhong all year round. Even if he took a boat, he would be rafting in a windless and waveless pool. How could he have ever been on such a rocking ship?

In fact, Qin Shihuang was already prepared for this. Didn't he have so many magicians accompanying him? Everyone is so hyped, is there always a way to deal with seasickness?

As a result, the alchemists began to compete with each other and offer various wonderful recipes.

Some people say that when boarding a ship, you can hide a small piece of Fulong's liver in your hair or hat and you will not faint.

Another suggestion was to pound the root bark of Plantago Seed and tie it half-close with cloth and put it on the belt and head to avoid this problem.

There is even something more mysterious: if you dip in the water of a big river, you can write a native character in your palm, which means there is no fear...

Finally, the Nanjun earth recipe presented by Heifu is more reliable: apply fresh ginger slices to the belly button, it may be useful.

At the moment, I don’t know which prescription Qin Shihuang used, but the effect is not good. Although the mainland is not far from Zhifu (fu) Island, today’s storm seems to be guarding the principle of "not to survive for Yao, not to perish for Jie" The laws of nature were not calmed down by the arrival of the emperor.

The emperor is a person who has a good face. He is a high-ranking king and a god walking in the world. Of course, he cannot be seasick and vomiting in public. Isn't it shameful? So he still stood on the deck with force, but his expression was a little too serious and he didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, General Ren said that we will be able to reach the shore in half an hour!"

After Hei Fu reported it, the Emperor's face became a little better. As the ship broke through the waves, Zhifu Island on the opposite side became larger and larger...

Zhifu got its name because the terrain here is very unique, resembling a giant Ganoderma lucidum. As for "罘", it means barrier. Lying in the Yellow Sea, it looks like a natural barrier, protecting Jiaodong behind it.

Zhifu is not far from the coastline, so it cannot be considered a complete island, because every winter, a narrow sand ridge several miles long emerges from the water, enough for people to pass. It's just that this sand path disappears and appears with the ebb and flow of the sea. If you miscalculate the time, the people on it will be swallowed by the sea water.

Therefore, of course His Majesty the Emperor cannot walk barefoot on this road that may be flooded at any time. He must still take a big boat and solemnly land on the island.

Fortunately, Qin Shihuang was not the first big shot to come here. As early as three hundred years ago, Qi Jinggong, who liked the sea view, stayed here several times. He was so happy on vacation that he even forgot about state affairs. He heard that Yan Ying was about to die. Only then did Pegasus rush back...

Half a moment later, the building boat entered the harbor. The temporary dock set up by the governor of Heifu was of great help. Qin Shihuang, surrounded by his officials, set foot on the island.

This island is neither big nor small, with a radius of more than fifty miles, a winding coastline, vast tidal flats, and several natural harbors where fleets can land. The island has undulating hills, dense forests, and lush greenery.

The emperor glanced at the island curiously. The beach was covered with hermit crabs. After being disturbed, he retracted himself into the shell. A group of sand gulls soared in the air against the sea breeze. They were also afraid of these uninvited guests and regarded the ship as a terrible threat. The monster dared not fall for a long time.

Stepping on the hard land, he finally no longer had to endure the torment of shaking the ship and making him vomit. Only then did Qin Shihuang have the time to turn around and take a good look at the sea.

This is the north of the island, facing the endless sea with a wide view. Although the wind is strong and the waves are strong, the sunshine is just right. There are few clouds in the sky, making the sea look particularly blue and wide.

The coast here is more beautiful than Miyan Fields, Yeyi, and Huangxian. If this was not a forbidden area set up by the emperor as a place of worship, Heifu would even want to build a big villa here...

Qin Shihuang stopped at the seaside for a long time. Fortunately, he was indeed rated as "slightly lacking in literary talent" by later generations. He was not like those poets and emperors who would blurt out any romantic verses. At most, he asked his officials to build a monument here. Record the great deeds of the emperor, and let the echo of the sea sing the words above for a long time.

"Most of those things were written for others to read. If he had to write them, Qin Shihuang would probably only write a simple sentence."

I come, I see, I conquer!

Heifu accompanied the emperor on the beach to enjoy the breeze, secretly complaining.

As for him? Heifu, who has no artistic ability, could only write one sentence after holding it for a long time if he didn't copy poems.

"O sea, you are all water!"

In any case, as soon as he was disturbed by this beautiful scenery, the emperor's mood, which was caused by seasickness, improved a lot. He waved his hand energetically and asked Heifu to lead the way, and the group went straight to Yangzhu Temple...

That's right, Qin Shihuang came here precisely to worship the "Yang Lord" among the eight gods of Qi!

That day, Zhang Cang and Wei Yang agreed that the three gods of heaven, earth, and soldiers would be worshiped in the west of Qi State, while the remaining five gods would be concentrated in the east.

Among them, Yin is worshiped in Canshan, Yeyi County; Moon is worshiped in Laishan, Huang County; and Sun is worshiped in Chengshan, Buye County, where Heifu exiled several Confucian scholars in the bustling city.

The fifth ranked Yang Lord was sacrificed on Zhifu Island.

The Eight Gods are the gods of Qi. However, after the unification of Qin, other gods were not abolished. Instead, they were selected, some were abandoned, and some were included in official sacrifices.

For example, the fate of the Eight Gods is different. The highest-status God of Tianqi must be abandoned, because that is where the kings of Qi worshiped heaven. Now that Qi is dead, the emperors of the Qin Dynasty will only worship in Guanzhong and Mount Tai. God, Tian Qiyuan will never come again.

The landowners located in Liangfu Mountain were highly regarded because they coincided with the Fengchan of Lu.

The same goes for Chi You, although he will not be destroyed, but in order to unify the Xia, he is destined to become a rebel, and the sacrifices to him will be diluted.

As for the other gods, it all depends on the emperor's preference. Qin Shihuang likes the sun but not the yin, the sun but not the moon. Therefore, when passing through Shenshan and Laishan, I just asked the ministers to think about it and sent them to prison. The number of witch blessings and the names of the coins were also pitiful.

But the emperor attached great importance to the next few main sacrifice sites, and even decided to personally go to Zhifu Island to worship the Yang Lord...

The Yang Lord is opposite to the Yin Lord. At the level of the religious gods of the Qi people, they are in charge of natural disasters such as water, drought, wind, and hail, and are also responsible for the harvest of rice, bean, grain, and millet. In Qi State, where people live on grains, he is one of the most worshiped gods.

Among them, Zhifu Island is exactly the place of the sun in the eyes of Qi's magicians, so Qi Jinggong chose to build a temple here in the hope of praying for immortality.

This idea was also accepted by Qin Shihuang, who also longed for immortality...

The temple site of Yangzhu Temple is backed by the main peak of Zhifu and faces the vast sea. It has a mountain gate built of rocks and a wooden temple. Qi State sends people to worship it every year, but in the past few years, the incense has been cut off, and Wu Zhu has disappeared. Only an old man with white beard and hair and a few disciples were left to guard this place.

A few days ago, Heifu sent Cao Shen to search the entire island to ensure that no one with ulterior motives would stay on the island. In addition, he also investigated the old man guarding the temple and proved that he was indeed the old witch Zhu here. He stayed on Zhifu Island for an unknown amount of time, and no one cared about him, so he was allowed to stay.

But Chen Ping was cautious and asked Cao Shen to send two soldiers to search all sharp weapons in the temple. When the old man was offered sacrifices, he also had to be searched, and he was not allowed to come within five steps of the emperor!

The old man guarding the temple was unattractive in appearance and thin in stature. He was wearing a somewhat shabby blue linen robe. He stood in front of the temple to greet Qin Shihuang. He was not young, and some of his sparse long beards were completely white, but his lower body was very stable, standing firmly in the sea breeze, motionless.

Although the old man worked slowly, he was methodical. After arranging all the rituals, he withdrew and stood aside.

Qin Shihuang then wore a ceremonial robe and walked into the Yangzhu Temple. He asked people to offer two prisons and bowed to the tablet of the god in the temple. The ministers stood solemnly behind him.

At this time, there was a laugh, followed by a standard Guanzhong Yayan!

"The last king that I and Lord Yang met was King Qi Min who came here to worship the Queen of the East. Going forward, the one who comes here the most is Qi Jinggong."

"Now that Lord Yang sees that the person offering sacrifices has changed from the Marquis of Qi named Jiang, to the King of Qi named Tian, ​​and then to the Emperor named Ying, what will he think?"

Qin Shihuang frowned and turned back. Hei Fu and others also looked to the side in shock, only to see that the person speaking was actually the old man guarding the temple who looked dull and honest, said nothing, and was just arranging the rituals in a serious manner!

Hei Fu thought to himself that it was not good and glared at Cao Shen who was guarding outside and looked confused about this matter. This guy is usually very cautious. Why did he make such a big mistake this time?

Forget it, we will deal with him later. Hei Fu immediately stood up and scolded the old man: "How dare you! Your Majesty sacrificed to Lord Yang, how dare you speak nonsense here and use the past to mock the present. What do you want? Second or third son, arrest him and take him with you." Go down and hand him over to the jailer!"

But the old man laughed and waved his hand and said: "Jiaodong County Sheriff, didn't you even destroy the rural school just to hear the voices of the common people? Why don't you let me say a few more words? I mean, the fate of the third generation Sacrifice, don’t go beyond looking. Now your Majesty has enshrined Mount Tai, made Guan Yi and others enter the temple, and offered sacrifices to Lord Yang of Qi Di. This is truly the first of its kind in three generations! He deserves to be the first emperor of the Five Emperors of the German Dynasty!"

This sentence was quite pleasing to the ear, and Qin Shihuang became curious, stopped the guards, and looked at the old man: "Who are you?"

"Your Majesty, I am the benefactor of Yangzhu Temple."

The old man smiled and said: "However, I have another name..."

As he spoke, he seemed to perform a magic trick. He straightened up and opened his eyes. For a moment, he appeared to be graceful and unfazed. The simple coarse linen clothes on his body actually made him look like an immortal!

The old man, who seemed to have changed into a different person, bowed his head and said, "My lord, An Qisheng, I have met your Majesty!"

"ah!"

Alchemists Lu Ao, Han Zhong and others all made sounds of surprise, and the ministers also looked at each other, many of them with surprised faces.

"An Qisheng! This is actually An Qisheng? How is it possible!"

Seeing Qin Shihuang's expression of surprise, Hei Fu cursed in his mind: "An Qisheng? I think he's a sweeping monk! Finally, someone with a high rank is here, it's going to be fun now!"
