Chapter 1154: Unprecedented Scale of Sea Expedition

Although it was only a short line of record, after reading it, I was shocked and excited.

Everything, all the layouts and plans, started from Xu Fu's sea voyage to visit the immortals. It can be said that if Xu Fu had not gone to sea, then none of this would have happened.

And what this paragraph records should be the reason why Xu Fu went to sea.

I took a deep breath, calmed down my excitement, and continued to read on.

Sure enough.

Then I saw it continued to write: "The Jade Book has no words, and no one knows its secret. The First Emperor gave it to the Imperial Teacher and asked the Imperial Teacher about entering the fairyland. The Imperial Teacher had a secret talk with the First Emperor for a day, and then left with the wordless Jade Book. Three months later, the Imperial Teacher brought the Jade Book to meet the First Emperor. Later, the First Emperor ordered Xu Fu to lead 300 boys and 300 girls to go out to sea, meaning to visit the fairyland."

Seeing this, I frowned.

Because I found that the wordless Jade Book that I just ignored seemed to be extremely complicated.

And this Imperial Teacher seemed even more complicated.

"What they saw at sea should be a mirage, but... what exactly is a mirage? Could it be that it is really the manifestation of the fairyland where the immortals live?"

Experts have also explained the mirage as a projection after the change of light and shadow.

However, an explorer once witnessed a mirage with his own eyes. Since then, he has traveled all over the world just to find the scene in the mirage, but he found nothing.

There are also images displayed in the mirage that do not look like the human world at all. So, how can these places that do not exist in the human world be projected by the change of light and shadow?

Or... the expert's explanation is wrong.

Is the mirage actually an accidental manifestation of the fairyland?

"What on earth is that wordless jade book? Why did the First Emperor allow Xu Fu to lead the boys and girls to go out to sea to visit the immortals after the Imperial Teacher had studied it for several months? Could it be that the wordless jade book is actually a nautical chart?"

I frowned, and then continued to look down.

"Xu Fu went out to sea to visit the immortals and seek the elixir of immortality. He did not return for several years, and the First Emperor and the Imperial Teacher gradually grew old. However, one day of a certain year, the ship suddenly appeared on the coast, and the three hundred boys and girls and the crew were nowhere to be found. Only Xu Fu fainted on the deck alone."

At this point, the record of this voyage came to an end.

As for what happened to Xu Fu after he went to sea, where did those boys and crew members go, and whether Xu Fu visited the immortals, there is no record, as if the matter has been left unresolved, but I know that things are definitely not that simple.

"This time, Xu Fu didn't seem to have gained anything." The following records are all about the turmoil in the court and the country after Xu Fu came back, which has almost nothing to do with Xu Fu's voyage.

"Is there no record of things at this point?"

I know that such records must not appear in history books. They should have been recorded by writers or some practitioners at that time. Therefore, some things are not known in detail by the recorders, so they are just passed over.

Next, I watched it patiently for a while, and just when I was about to give up, I suddenly became excited again.

Because nine years after the first voyage, the First Emperor actually sent Xu Fu out to sea again.

And this time, the scale was even larger than the first time. There were nearly a hundred ships alone, and countless boys and girls were brought with them. There were even countless skilled craftsmen, technicians, warriors, qigong practitioners, archers, and grain seeds, utensils, countless food and fresh water...

This voyage was unprecedented in scale, so it was recorded in history books.

However, historical records show that Xu Fu never returned after this voyage. However, I know that Xu Fu must have returned, and he may have even brought back the elixir of immortality. Even if he did not bring back the elixir of immortality, he brought back the secret method of immortality, the method of making living corpses, and even the method of making famous Qin Dynasty generals into flying zombies.

Otherwise, the First Emperor and the so-called imperial teacher would not have survived until now.

"In this case, Xu Fu should also be alive, but I don't know how Xu Fu survived? What role did this person play in this layout that spanned nearly two thousand years? Is he sleeping in an ancient tomb, or following the First Emperor?"

I took a deep breath and continued to flip down.

But what disappointed me was that the whole book that followed never recorded any information about Xu Fu's voyage to visit the immortals. Until the death of Qin Shihuang, the disappearance of the imperial teacher, and the change of dynasties in the Qin Dynasty, I could not find any clues about that voyage.

"Huh..."

After closing the book, I let out a long breath of foul air, and then rubbed my eyebrows tiredly.

However, at this moment, I suddenly heard a sneer in the air.

The voice gave people a very sad feeling, and inside, there was even a taste of disdain and ridicule.

"Who?" Before I could say anything, Xiao Qi suddenly jumped up, staring with a pair of big eyes, looking around fiercely, and shouted: "Which shrunken old bastard is playing tricks? Come out, believe it or not, I will beat you to death?"

"..." My mouth twitched when I heard it, and I thought to myself, damn, Xiao Qi has learned nothing good from being with Mu Yunxi.

Silence.

At this moment, the safe house was silent, and only my breathing echoed in the air.

And that sneer, as if it had never appeared, never sounded again.

I couldn't help but secretly wondered, thinking, could it be that I was hallucinating?

But it's impossible, if I was hallucinating, Xiao Qi wouldn't have such a big reaction?

"Could it be that old man?" I looked at Xiao Qi and asked, "Xiao Qi, what did you hear and feel?"

"I felt... as if someone was looking at us from a distance." Xiao Qi said very seriously, but I was shocked when I heard it.

"Someone looked at us from a distance... Who was it? Could it be... the legendary imperial teacher? Or... the First Emperor?"

As soon as I thought of this, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine, and the hairs on my body stood up. I immediately swallowed my saliva and continued to ask, "How does it compare to the energy fluctuations you felt before? Could it be emitted by one person?"

"No." Xiao Qi shook his head: "I am very sure that the old man you mentioned who suddenly appeared and mysteriously disappeared is definitely not the one who just looked at us."
