Chapter 275 Longevity Taboo [1 more]
A group of Confucian scholars and alchemists were angry at Fang Xiaoyu, but Zhao Gao and other people from the Qin Dynasty looked admiring.
At this time, the great Qin Dynasty was at its peak. The Huns invaded the northern part of the country, Meng Tian led his army to defeat Hetao, and most of the wilderness of Baiyue in the south had been taken down. No one dared to refuse to follow the direction of the dragon flag wherever the Iron Cavalry of the Great Qin Dynasty passed.
Lu Sheng stepped forward and took off the shackles in his hand for Fang Xiaoyu, and said with appreciation: "This fellow Taoist, I am Lu Sheng, you are willing to join my Daqin Fangshi Mansion."
At the moment when the shackles were removed, Fang Xiaoyu felt that the internal breath that could not be called in his body had all recovered all his magic power. The feeling of losing and regaining made Fang Xiaoyu's heart slightly turbulent.
It would be great if you could have an official identity in the Qin Dynasty, and the Great Qin Fangshi Mansion seemed to be a good choice.
Under Lu Sheng's expectant gaze, Fang Xiaoyu nodded slightly and said, "I dare not ask for what I wish."
Lu Sheng laughed loudly.
Fang Xiaoyu ignored the Confucian scholars and the alchemist's eyes and walked to Bao Yuzi and said, "Fellow Taoist Huo Yuzi, I see that you have no disgust for the Qin Dynasty. This is a disaster that is not a false alarm. I would like to serve the Qin Dynasty with me."
Bao Yuzi was slightly stunned. After reacting, he nodded slowly after just pondering for a moment.
People who practice Taoism seek the way of immortality. The more they pursue immortality, the more they are afraid of death. Holding Yuzi may be able to face death calmly, but it does not mean that he will let go of the chance of survival.
Besides, what Fang Xiaoyu said was right. He had no resentment towards the Qin Dynasty. He did not want the Qin Dynasty to perish like those who came from the nobles of the six countries, and even took it as his responsibility to destroy the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, Fang Xiaoyu's invitation was opened, and Bao Yuzi immediately responded along the steps.
Seeing that he agreed to hug Yuzi, Fang Xiaoyu turned to Lu Sheng on the side and said, "Master Lu, this is a fellow Taoist Taoist who hug Yuzi, and his heart is on my Daqin, I don't know..."
Lu Sheng glanced at Bao Yuzi and felt aroused in his heart. With Lu Sheng's strength, he could certainly see that Bao Yuzi had a high level of cultivation. It is said that such an expert is difficult to capture alive. Even if the Qin army formation is supplemented by the powerful people from the Alchemist Mansion, it will have to pay a huge price to win such an expert.
Now the other party is actually shackled, which is enough to prove that Hu Yuzi is not the kind of person who is determined to fight with Daqin.
Many of the alchemists themselves are homeless and have no country concepts, so the Daqin alchemist Mansion can take advantage of the great momentum of the unification of the world to gather the strange people among the alchemists in the world, making the Daqin alchemist Mansion extremely powerful.
"Okay, since Fellow Daoist Fang is the guarantee, then this fellow Taoist will join our Fangshi Mansion together."
As Fang Xiaoyu and Bao Yuzi were removed from their shackles and walked out of the range of care, the Confucian scholars who were originally wailing and cursing seemed to have calmed down a lot now.
Zhao Gao's eyes fell on the pile of scribbles that looked like a hill, and he said decisively: "Create all the scribbles written in the six kingdoms for me."
This is to cut off the culture of the six countries and eliminate the influence of the six countries from the root. Among the Confucian scholars and alchemists, people from the six countries who were born in aristocratic family were immediately as if they were lost when they saw this situation. They were wailing and crying.
The fire was burning, and piles of book scripts were burned like this. Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but look regretful in his eyes.
Lu Sheng saw Fang Xiaoyu's expression in his eyes and said, "What, Fellow Daoist Fang is a pity for these book scripts?"
Fang Xiaoyu shook his head slightly and said, "I just sighed that the knowledge that was beneficial to me in the books and the Qin Dynasty was burned to pieces, but it was a pity."
Hou Sheng, who was standing by, chuckled and said, "Your Majesty the First Emperor is not a fool. Your Majesty has already issued an order that all records recorded in the world and people's livelihood and beneficial to our Great Qin will be copied down to absorb the essence of the six kingdoms for our Great Qin to use. What is burned out is just some dregs."
Fang Xiaoyu was slightly stunned. Even historians couldn't understand what it was like to burn books and bury scholars in history. However, now he is in this world, it seems that burning books and burying scholars is not a tyrannical act of Qin Shihuang.
Looking at what Emperor Shi Huang did throughout his life, he built the Great Wall and built straight roads to defend against the invasion of the Huns in the northern Huns. Burning books and burying scholars was to unify the text and culture. Objectively speaking, any emperor with great revenge would do this.
However, Emperor Shin-Emperor's grand renovation of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor and the construction of the Afang Palace also revealed that the Emperor Shin-Emperor was the only one who was very proud of his merits.
There were alchemists and Confucian scholars who walked out of the encirclement of the Qin Dynasty and chose to join the Qin Dynasty. In the face of life and death, they pursued and ideals were not important.
However, for those remnants of the six kingdoms, even if they were willing to surrender, the Qin Dynasty would not accept it. As the saying goes, "Cutting grass without eradicating the roots, the spring breeze will grow again."
With Zhao Gao's order, hundreds of Confucian scholars and alchemists were mercilessly pushed into the pit below.
Under the soil, hundreds of people were soon buried alive under the earth.
The Qin Ruis around them all looked cold and solemn, like sculptures, and their hands kept moving, ignoring the wailings and crying of those buried alive, as if burying these people alive was nothing.
Think about it, Bai Qi used to kill hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops. During the Qin Dynasty's conquest of the six countries, there were definitely many nobles in the six countries who were killed, so today's scene was nothing.
If it weren't for burning classics and killing Confucian scholars today, I'm afraid there would be no record of this passage in history.
Anyone present is used to killing. If you don’t say you don’t take your life seriously, hundreds of people are killed in front of you, and few people are really showing strange looks.
Fang Xiaoyu has led hundreds of thousands of troops to fight for the world. After a big battle, tens of thousands of casualties have been killed or killed, and a tough heart has long been tempered.
With Xianyang City as the center, a wave of book burning emerged from the Qin Empire. Anyone who hides the classics written by the six kingdoms in their homes will be implicated once they are discovered.
After this wave, although the six kingdoms' classics could not completely disappear from the territory of Qin, they were almost the same as extinction, laying a solid foundation for the unification of Chinese culture and writing.
At this moment, Fang Xiaoyu also followed Hou Sheng, Lu Sheng and his group returned to the Daqin Fangshi Mansion.
The Daqin Taoist Mansion is located in the Xicheng, the imperial capital of Xianyang, and it covers an active light on the ground. It can be said that it gathers more than half of the Taoist priests mastered by the Daqin.
Among these alchemists, the most famous are Lu Sheng, Hou Sheng, Han Zhong and Xu Fu, who cheated Emperor Shi, fled overseas.
Xu Fu, the four great alms of the Great Qin Dynasty, fled, and the almsman's mansion was under great pressure.
The scam of seeking immortal medicine overseas was exposed, and the huge pressure on the First Emperor to pursue immortality was naturally pressed on the alchemist mansion.
The entire Alchemist Mansion was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.
Fang Xiaoyu and Hu Zi were assigned to a courtyard, and they were suffering. Although they each had their own privacy, in the alchemy mansion, if they really wanted to say something about their friends, they would be the only one who hugged Yu Zi.
On this day, Fang Xiaoyu and Bao Yuzi sat down among hundreds of alchemists, listening quietly on the high platform, Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng conveyed the will of the First Emperor.
The First Emperor ordered that if someone could refine the medicine for immortality, he would be the master of the Great Qin Dynasty, and his status was respected and he would be with the country.
Fang Xiaoyu has heard from Bao Yuzi that it seems that all schools of Taoism and Yin and Yang schools have prescriptions for immortality medicine.
If no one among the many alchemists present knows the prescription of the immortal medicine, it is definitely a scam.
However, in the face of Qin Shihuang's heavy reward, none of the alchemists stood up, which was far beyond Fang Xiaoyu's expectations.
Fang Xiaoyu's face was full of confusion, especially when he looked at Hou Sheng, Lu Sheng and Han Zhong, they were probably all mastered the prescription for the immortality medicine.
As long as there is a prescription for immortality in the world, it will definitely not become a secret. One passes through ten, ten passes through hundreds, not to mention the flood, at least on a small scale, it is definitely no problem for everyone to get one copy.
Even Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng, the alchemists who encouraged Emperor Qin to pursue the way of immortality were deceiving Qin Shihuang and refused to refine immortality medicine for him.
If there is a problem, there is definitely a big problem.
Fang Xiaoyu was not stupid either. He saw the reactions of all the monks present. After a little thought, he could see that there was definitely something else in it.
The silence of many alchemists seemed to be in Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng's expectations. If someone really jumped out at this time, then they would really be curious.
A group of alchemists came out one after another, left the hall in groups of three or three, and returned to their respective residences.
Fang Xiaoyu returned to his residence like Hu Zi. When he entered the courtyard, Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel curious and said to Hu Yu Zi: "Fellow Taoist I have a question in my heart, I don't know whether to ask or not."
He hugged Yuzi and was wearing a grey robe with a wooden hairpin, and a wooden hairpin was worn through his hair bun. At first glance, he looked like a fairy-like figure, and had a look of a paradise.
He glanced at Fang Xiaoyu, hugged Yuzi and said with a smile: "My friend should be wondering why no one has taken over the will of the First Emperor."
Fang Xiaoyu knew that the person in front of him was a person who was as smart as a person, and that his thoughts would definitely not be hidden from the other party, so he smiled and said, "I knew that he could not be hidden from the fellow Taoist, so I would like to ask fellow Taoist to answer the questions."
Hu Yuzi's eyes suddenly became deeper and said, "The way of heaven is high and ethereal. We are a duckweed in the world. The way of immortality is a move to compete with the heaven for fate. This move is against the will of heaven and earth. Even if we can refine the medicine of immortality, then the person who refined medicine will be plagued by cause and effect. The way of immortality will be cut off. More importantly, if you want to refine the medicine of immortality, you need a big medicine and the fortune of a country. How many people dare to ask the First Emperor for the fortune of the Great Qin State to refine medicine. This act of cutting off the Great Qin State is probably going to be broken by the First Emperor's car."
Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he heard this. He never expected that there were so many taboos in the immortal medicine. Could it be that the death of the Second Emperor of Qin was because the First Emperor finally chose to exchange his national fortune for the immortal medicine?
