Chapter 230 Immortality

At this time, the place on the wall where the white wine was splashed had already revealed a complete mural.

A series of exquisitely composed murals are presented in front of everyone, as if telling an ancient and forgotten story!
Xu Feng noticed that these murals were not the abstract paintings popular among the ancients, but were extremely realistic.

The characters are very vivid and detailed.

Appearance, clothing, expressions, including the surrounding scenery.

Everything can be seen clearly.

Xu Feng, Lao Hu, Zhang Rishan and others came forward and examined the mural carefully.

soon.

They finished looking at all the murals.

But after they finished watching, everyone had an expression of shock on their face.

The fat man beside him kept scratching his head and ears: "What is the mural about? Why do you all have such expressions?"

Xu Feng let out a long sigh and said, "There is a big secret recorded in the mural!"

"Big secret?!"

The fat man became even more curious.

"Yes, once this secret is made public, it will be like an atomic bomb, completely changing the entire archaeological world!"

"By then, all historians will question whether the knowledge they have learned before is true or false, all textbooks will be overturned and rewritten, and all tomb robbers will go crazy looking for this secret!"

"No wonder Qin Shi Huang hid these murals."

"I guess he is also hesitating whether to make this secret public."

"Because once it is announced, it will be like opening Pandora's box. No one can predict what the consequences will be."

The fat man became even more curious, and he almost pleaded, "Master Xu, what is the secret?"

"Let me tell you."

Lao Hu said.

He pointed to the first mural and began to explain.

"The previous few pictures all record the great achievements of Qin Shihuang's life."

"Qin Shi Huang, whose name was Ying Zheng, was born in the State of Zhao to a singing girl. From the moment he was born, he and his mother lived a life of dependence and being looked down upon by others."

"It was precisely because of the humiliation he suffered when he was young that tempered him and made him swear that he would trample the State of Zhao under his feet in the future."

"It was also because of this childhood oath that he worked hard to govern the country after returning to Qin, recruited talented people, and eventually conquered the six kingdoms, becoming the first emperor in history to unify the country."

"After that, Qin Shi Huang accomplished a series of unprecedented achievements!"

“For example, the Great Wall was built to drive out the Xiongnu minority that was wreaking havoc in the Central Plains.”

"For example, the Lingqu Canal was built to connect the water sources of the world."

"For example, we should have the same writing system, the same wheel gauge, and unified national culture."

"For example, the Qin cavalry swept across the world, making the Qin Empire the most powerful country in the Asia-Pacific region. Countless small countries around it sent envoys to pay homage!"

"Of course, these are all in history books. Anyone who has studied history knows them."

"But this mural also records something that is not in the history books."

"For example, Qin Shi Huang ordered the musicians to create Qin Jue, which undermined the fighting spirit of the six states and made them so confused that they could not even pick up swords or guns."

"For example, when Qin Shi Huang was young, he was able to escape from Zhao State with the help of a mysterious family. They not only rescued Qin Shi Huang from Zhao State and escorted him back to Qin State, but also reached a certain contract with Qin Shi Huang that they would help Qin Shi Huang conquer the world, and then after Qin Shi Huang unified the world, they would also help them find something."

"Mysterious family?" The fat man exclaimed in surprise when he heard this.

"Yes."

Old Hu pointed to a picture and said, "Look at this picture carefully."

The fat man looked at the mural.

It was a black hall. In the center of the hall sat a tall and burly emperor. Below the emperor stood three people. One was wearing armor and looked mighty and majestic, and the other was wearing a python robe and looked elegant and refined. The two of them stood on the left and right.

The last one is a young man wearing plain clothes but with outstanding temperament.

He faced the emperor with his hands spread out, as if telling something.

The fat man looked at the mural and said, "That emperor must be Qin Shi Huang."

"I've seen movies that say Qin Shi Huang was always being assassinated, so ordinary officials couldn't even enter the palace, let alone get close to him. Those who could get within ten steps of him were his confidants."

"So, the civil servant wearing the python robe should be Li Si, the prime minister who assisted Qin Shihuang in unifying the six kingdoms."

"That general in armor must be Meng Yi, needless to say."

"As for that young man... could it be the mysterious family you mentioned?"

Lao Hu nodded: "You are right."

"These four people are indeed Qin Shi Huang, Meng Yi, Li Si, and the young man from the mysterious family."

“As for the identity of the young man, the mural in front also explains it.”

"This picture clearly shows that the four of them are discussing something, with this young man taking the lead. He is describing something that has aroused the interest of Qin Shihuang and the other two. You can see from their expressions that they are clearly very interested."

The fat man looked carefully at the expressions of the people in the mural.

It’s no wonder that the realistic style of this mural depicts their expressions vividly.

It was indeed as Lao Hu said. When the young man was speaking, although Qin Shihuang was sitting on the dragon throne, he leaned forward with his eyes wide open. Together with the expression on his face, it was obvious that he was very interested in what the young man said.

Not only him, but also Meng Yi and Li Si on both sides had different expressions on their faces.

Meng Yi had a look of shock and disbelief on his face.

Li Si was surprised but also a little excited, and seemed to want to discuss something with the young man.

“I’m very curious now!”

The fat man said, "The three of them can be said to be in control of the huge Qin Empire. They have seen everything. What did this young man say to make them lose their composure like this?"

Xu Feng spoke in a very calm voice: "What do you think would be the thing that would interest Qin Shi Huang, shock Meng Yi, and make Li Si excited and curious?"

The fat man and Lao Hu looked at each other, pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked up with a look of surprise: "Eternal Life?!"

"That's right!"

Xu Feng: "From the previous paintings, we can see that Qin Shi Huang had already unified the world and ruled the country. There were not many things in this world that could interest him. Immortality was his greatest wish."

"and many more!"

Zhang Rishan suddenly said, "I have a question here. Isn't it said that immortality was proposed by the folk alchemist Xu Fu?"

"It is said that Xu Fu wrote to Qin Shi Huang, saying that there were three immortal mountains in the sea, namely Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou, where immortals lived."

"So Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to lead thousands of boys and girls, as well as three years' worth of food, clothing, medicine, and farming tools, to ride on a mirage into the sea to seek immortality."

"But Xu Fu led his people to sea for several years but did not find the fairy mountain. He was afraid that Qin Shihuang would blame him when he returned, so he found an island overseas to stay and proclaimed himself king. He took 3,000 boys and girls to farm, fish, and hunt whales. He never returned to the Qin Dynasty."
