Chapter 2366 Liberation
"Are you... Xu Fu, who led 3,000 boys and 3,000 girls to the sea to search for immortality elixir for the emperor two thousand years ago?"
I was shocked, because I never thought that Xu Fu was still alive.
I never thought that the legendary alchemist Xu Fu would drift on the ocean with this ship in such a weird state for nearly two thousand years!
"Does anyone still remember my name?" He laughed softly: "It seems that even if my Great Qin was destroyed, it has left a strong mark in the long river of history!"
"How do you know that the Great Qin was destroyed?" I asked in confusion.
"Although I am trapped here, I can still feel the passage of time. In these long years, I have also met some people who were rescued by me after their shipwreck. From them, I learned some things, including the destruction of my Great Qin."
He sighed, "But I didn't expect that your majesty had made all the calculations. Even if the elixir of immortality was obtained, the Great Qin would still be annihilated in the long river of history!"
I shook my head and said, "The First Emperor did not die. No, it is not accurate to say that. To be precise, it should be that the First Emperor achieved another kind of immortality, and the brave generals under the First Emperor's command have survived to this day in a very special way. There are even more than 100,000 Qin soldiers still available for the First Emperor to command!"
"Of course I know all this. Moreover, I participated in the construction of many tombs of famous generals, and even arranged for the descendants of my Xu family to guard those tombs."
I nodded. He was right. Almost every tomb was guarded by the Xu family, and Xu Village came from this.
However...
since he participated in the construction of these subsequent tombs, why did he come back here?
He seemed to guess the doubts in my heart and said, "I didn't want to come back here. I just blame myself for not resisting the temptation of the dragon clan and drinking the dragon blood."
After saying that, he sighed, and the sigh was full of helplessness and regret.
But my pupils shrank and I said, "You became the deadpool of the dragon clan?"
"That's right!" He continued, "My body and even my soul have been corroded by the dragon blood. I have become extremely manic and extremely thirsty for the blood of the dragon clan. In order to survive, I can only return here. However, before I left, I left a lot of clues about this place for the descendants of the Xu family, and even left some nautical charts and dragon blood samples, hoping that they will be able to solve the problem of dragon blood erosion one day. And I just hope that one day they can find this place and take me away. But, I have been waiting for two thousand years. Perhaps, my Xu family has ceased to exist!"
"So that's how it is!" I shook my head secretly.
Two thousand years have passed. Although the Xu family still has blood, the things left by Xu Fu have long been cut off. Even the blood is almost cut off, not to mention the things he left behind.
However, the Xu family is not completely cut off. At least, there are descendants alive in the world.
With this thought, I said, "The Xu family still has descendants!"
"My Xu family, there is still a bloodline passed down to this day?" He smiled with relief, and then said, "Now I don't expect to leave here anymore. You can see that I am not even a human being now. Although I feel a strong power in you, even a power that can save me, but... it's too late, everything is too late!"
"I can help you get rid of it!" I said.
"Yes, you can help me out. Haha, the people I rescued before couldn't even help me out." He sighed, and then said, "I felt the breath of His Majesty in your body. Are you... His Royal Highness?"
I didn't say anything, but he laughed, "It seems so. It seems that His Majesty has implemented the plan to raise a pig. However, now that you have grown to this point, can His Majesty really control the situation?"
"The plan to raise a pig?" I sneered. I had guessed this a long time ago.
The so-called battle of the four elephants was just the end of the plan to raise a pig to select the strongest cauldron by the First Emperor, and the strongest surviving pig...
maybe, it will be captured by the First Emperor.
I took a deep breath and asked, "Whoever survives the battle of the four elephants will be captured and replaced by the First Emperor, right?"
"That's right!" Xu Fu said, "However, it may be difficult for Your Majesty to replace him now. But... Your Majesty has always been good at planning and has absolute control over everything. Moreover, Your Majesty has the senior Guiguzi by his side to make plans, so you have to be careful!"
"Why are you telling me all this!"
I was a little puzzled. Logically, Xu Fu should be on the side of the First Emperor.
And he told me all this truthfully?
"You already have the answer in your heart. What difference does it make whether I say it or not!"
I smiled and asked, "How to enter the End of the Sea?"
"The entrance to the End of the Sea is deep in this sea. In order to enter the End of the Sea, I threw three thousand boys and three thousand girls into the sea. I will never forget the scene of countless giant creatures scrambling to bite those children. The nearby sea water turned blood-red, and terrified human heads and severed limbs floated on the sea..."
I didn't say anything, but just looked at him quietly. He took a deep breath to adjust his emotions, and then continued: "I not only feel His Majesty's breath in your body, but also the breath of dragon blood. Are you... a hybrid?"
"No, I'm a dragon slayer!" I shook my head.
"Dragon slayer?" He pondered for a while, then said: "Just pour your blood on the sea. As long as the dragon blood in your body is pure enough, you can easily open the passage to the edge of the sea!"
"Use dragon blood to open the passage?"
I pondered for a while, then looked at him and said: "Do you need me to help you free you?"
"If possible, then... thank you!"
"Do you really have no attachments?" I asked again.
"Attachment? What can I be attached to after being neither human nor ghost for two thousand years? Rather than living in this confusion all the time, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible, even if... my soul is scattered, I can accept it. I am tired and want to rest. I haven't really lay down for nearly two thousand years. I have been sitting here and even forgot the feeling of running, hehe..."
I listened to his bitter laugh and sighed, and then, a flame suddenly spread out, and with a "bang" it wrapped him in it, and then, I flashed and directly escaped from the ghost ship and stood in the void.
As for the ghost ship, it has been completely devoured by the mysterious fire.
