Qin Dynasty snare people

Songhai City, a small building by the sea.

Luo Yan and Ying Zheng talked about what they had seen along the way. He did not expect that the first person he saw when he came back would be Ying Zheng. After the other party learned that he had gone to sea, he began his second eastward tour, during which he spent a lot of money. For more than a month, he traveled around various places, and finally stopped in Songhai City, waiting for Luo Yan's return.

Three days have passed now.

It was luck. Just when Ying Zheng was about to leave Songhai City, Luo Yan's mirage returned from the East China Sea.

"So, what the Yin Yang family has been pursuing for hundreds of years is just an illusory thing."

After listening to what Luo Yan had witnessed along the way, Ying Zheng didn't look too disturbed. He said calmly, even when he heard that Luo Yan had found Penglai Immortal Island, his expression did not change much. After all, what Luo Yan said, Without seeing it in person, the shock is ultimately lacking.

"Those things are too far away from us after all."

Luo Yan shook his head and chuckled.

Although he said a lot, he deliberately concealed some of the things about Xiao Li. This was also a disguised form of protection for Xiao Li. As for those who saw Xiao Li display his magical power at that time, most of them did not Knowing Xiao Li's true identity, the rest are our own.

To put it bluntly, the people in the mirage will not stay in the Central Plains anymore. They will go to the Maurya Dynasty with Luo Yan, and they are destined to die of old age there.

The word "immortality" can sometimes really become a source of confusion.

Rather than letting Ying Zheng pursue these things, it would be better to let him be his Qin Shihuang with peace of mind and give up his pursuit of immortality.

"I am relieved to see that your husband has returned safely. I wonder what your husband's plans will be next?"

Ying Zheng did not continue to ask about the Penglai Immortal Island, perhaps because of his trust in Luo Yan, or perhaps because he simply did not believe that anyone in this world could live forever. Without practical examples, how could he have that desire? If there were immortal people in the world, what would this world look like?

A qualified emperor will be very rational and able to control his desires.

"Wang Li's second expeditionary force has been formed. I will go with him to Baiyue. When Baiyue is in trouble, I will take the mirage to the Maurya Dynasty. It is time to capture my fiefdom."

Luo Yan pondered for a while, looked at Ying Zheng, chuckled and said his next plan.

"The Maurya Dynasty...it's a pity that I can't go with you, sir."

A flash of longing flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes, and he said with regret that he also wanted to see the outside world and countries to see how they were different from the Central Plains, but unfortunately he was the leader of a country.

"When the empire becomes more stable, His Majesty can free up his hands and feet to take a look outside."

Luo Yan comforted.

Ying Zheng smiled and did not dwell on this issue. As the leader of a country, how could he be so free unless Fusu could really shoulder the responsibility and stabilize the operation of the entire empire, and this would take time. He I don’t want to see the world become chaotic again.

The world has been in chaos for too long.

Think of this.

Ying Zheng suddenly raised his tea cup and saluted Luo Yan, smiling and saying, "Sir, here's to a peaceful and prosperous age."

Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, then raised a glass to greet him and said with a chuckle: "To this peaceful and prosperous age!"

Today's world deserves these four words.

…

When he walked out of Ying Zheng's place, night had fallen, and before he knew it, he had chatted with Ying Zheng all afternoon.

Luo Yan looked up at the stars in the sky, turned to look at Zhao Gao who had accompanied him out, and asked, "How are Li Si and Zhang Han doing?"

"His Majesty's decree is to eradicate the roots!"

Zhao Gao's voice was calm, without any waves.

It seems that another group of people have died... Luo Yan doesn't feel anything at all. Perhaps he has seen too many people's lives and deaths, and now he has a much indifferent view of human life.

Some things do not distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, only positions.

The butt determines the choice.

Luo Yan nodded, and for a while he lost interest in chatting with Zhao Gao. It was late at night, wouldn't it be good to go back and sleep with the Frightened Salamander in his arms?

Zhao Gao continued: "My lord, did you ever remember to hide the sun? Some time ago, Dongchang accidentally captured him."

Covering the sun? !

Luo Yan frowned, a little surprised: "Where did you catch him?"

This guy is notoriously slippery, and he is very good at hiding his traces and identity. Luo Yan tried to catch him several times, but he evaded him. As a result, he was suddenly caught by Zhao Gao, which made Luo Yan Some people are curious as to what happened that caused Zhi Lu to be killed.

"Some time ago, Ri Zhi Ri contacted General Wang Li with the intention of contacting the Wang family through Wang Li and persuading them to rebel. He also claimed that both the Prince and Your Majesty would die soon. For this reason, he pledged his own life as a guarantee. He was suppressed by Wang Li, and was later transferred to the hands of Dongchang, and is now imprisoned in the Tooth-gnawing Prison."

Zhao Gao said calmly.

To persuade the Wang family to rebel? !

Zhan Ri is really a professional in treason... Luo Yan's expression is a little weird, he really can't understand Zhan Ri's tricks. Not to mention, he really has a lot of tricks, which was the case with Lao Ai back then.

"Have you confirmed your identity?"

Zhao Gao nodded: "Your Majesty guessed it right, hiding the sun is Xiaoyaozi."

"Then go and see this Taoist master!"

Luo Yan smiled. He was actually very curious about what Xiaoyaozi was trying to do. A good Taoist sect leader had to come to make trouble in this world.

…

When I saw Xiaoyaozi again.

The head of the Taoist sect has become a prisoner of the empire, sitting cross-legged in the deepest dungeon of the Tooth-gnawing Prison. His own internal strength has been suppressed by Zhao Gao with poison. At this moment, except for his realm, he is on par with the useless. There is no difference. It doesn't even require the siege of an expert. Ordinary imperial soldiers are enough to kill it on the spot.

However, even if Xiaoyaozi fell to this point, he still maintained his immortal aura, and it seemed that the current situation did not interfere with his state of mind.

Until Xiaoyaozi saw Luo Yan walking into the dungeon, his indifferent expression froze instantly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Luo Yan who had returned from An Lai with some surprise, as if he was confused as to why Luo Yan could appear intact. in front of myself.

"It seems that the Taoist priest is surprised that I appear here."

When Luo Yan walked into the dungeon, he was naturally observing Xiaoyaozi's expression. When he saw the change in his expression, his heart moved slightly and he asked.

"..."

Xiaoyaozi was silent, but he was very frightened at the moment. He didn't understand why Luo Yan could come back intact. Could it be that Donghuang Taiyi failed?

But how is this possible!

The real identity of Donghuang Taiyi is Jiang Ziya, a figure who has survived for more than 800 years. With the other party's peak strength in the Hedao realm, it is not difficult to kill Luo Yan. Even with help, he can't change everything. The relationship between the two The combat power is not on the same level at all.

How could Luo Yan come back!

Luo Yan slowly walked up to Xiaoyaozi. Looking at Xiaoyaozi's shocked expression, his eyes flickered and he said softly: "It seems that Taoist Xiaoyaozi and Donghuang Taiyi have known each other for a long time~"

"Since you're back, that means he failed...how on earth did you do it?"

Xiaoyaozi did not pretend to be deaf and dumb this time, frowned and stared at Luo Yan, and said in a deep voice.

It is puzzling why such a change occurred suddenly in a game that was guaranteed to win.

"The things that Donghuang Taiyi pursues all his life are illusory things, and he will naturally fail. Compared with these, I am more curious about how the Taoist priest and Donghuang Taiyi met, and what is the purpose of the Taoist priest's actions over the years? Could it be that it’s really for the people of the world?”

Luo Yan asked back, as for what happened with Donghuang Taiyi, he didn't plan to tell Xiaoyaozi because it was unnecessary.

A dying person does not need to know so many things.

As for Zhenri, Luo Yan had never thought of keeping him. After all, this guy was full of thoughts of rebellion. Keeping such a person would be a disaster, and eradicating the roots would be a blessing to the world.

"...for the sake of Tao."

Xiaoyaozi took a deep look at Luo Yan. He seemed to understand his situation and did not hide anything. He said slowly: "Since King Yueyang and Dong Huangtai have decided the winner, he should also understand that this world has long been divided. It has been separated from the Three Realms. With the gate of the Three Realms closed, this realm can only rely on the power of luck to break through the Hedao realm.

If I can change the sky and use the power of the empire's luck, I may be able to enter the realm of Hedao! "

"Is this the Taoist priest's answer? The power of luck is illusory, so how can the Taoist priest be sure that the path he is on is correct?"

Luo Yan frowned and asked in a deep voice. He was a little surprised by Xiaoyaozi's answer. He did these things just to break through the Hedao realm. Is it really worth it?

You can't live forever in the Hedao realm...

Thinking of this, Luo Yan thought of Donghuang Taiyi, and his eyes felt a little relieved.

Perhaps this statement is far-fetched, but now that there is a living example like Donghuang Taiyi, how can Xiaoyaozi refuse?

Xiaoyaozi might have been able to stay sober when he was young, but as he gets older and his hair becomes grayer, can he really hold back his heart?

Everything seems to have been doomed.

Xiaoyaozi didn't answer but asked: "Does King Liyang know the true identity of Donghuang Taiyi?"

"Jiang Ziya?"

"Since King Yueyang knows this, why bother asking these questions? When there is a clear path in front of you, how should I make a choice if it were me, King Yueyang?"

Xiaoyaozi looked at Luo Yan calmly. He never regretted what he did. He was just a seeker of truth. When he was young, he used to conspire for the world, but as he got older, some things naturally changed. I gradually became numb and took a dim view.

When people live, they will think about themselves.

Because human nature is inherently selfish.

"I understand what you think, but I don't agree with what you do."

Luo Yan pondered for a moment and said softly.

Xiaoyaozi frowned, stared at Luo Yan, and asked in a deep voice: "Prince Liyang has no interest in that throne? No matter whether Donghuang Taiyi succeeds in opening the door to the three realms this time, it will damage the fortune of the empire and cause The consequence is that Ying Zheng's lifespan will be greatly reduced. Once Ying Zheng dies, King Yueyang can take the opportunity to conquer the world."

"...Ha, I've never been interested in this world~"

When Luo Yan heard this, he stared at Xiaoyaozi in surprise. After a moment of silence, he chuckled and said slowly.

Xiaoyaozi didn't wait to say anything more.

Luo Yan continued: "I have never cared about power. I am not interested in power."

"?!"

Xiaoyaozi felt that his intelligence had been insulted at this moment. How could someone like Luo Yan not be interested in power?

Luo Yan did not continue chatting with Xiaoyaozi, but turned around and walked out of the dungeon. Before leaving, he did not forget to leave a sentence: "Taoist Master, why don't you think about what you have gained in your life? Before you die, look back on the past, Have you ever had anything worth remembering? If there was nothing at all, how boring would such a life be~"

Life is difficult.

Come to this human world and experience it~

Ask Luo Yan how he feels.

This life is very smooth~
