Chapter 21 Asking To See Li Xianren
The manor has beautiful scenery, with the breeze blowing and Lotus flowers swaying by the lake.
However, at this time, the dozens of alchemists kneeling by the lake seemed to have fallen into the abyss of The Underworld. They were physically and mentally frightened, and they almost did not dare to breathe louder.
"Xu Fu!"
Ying Zheng's deep and majestic voice seemed to fall from the sky high above, making Xu Fu tremble all over.
"My lord, my lord is here!"
Xu Fu's voice became stammering. His throat felt very dry and his voice was a little hoarse, as if someone who hadn't spoken for a long time suddenly spoke.
"Is there anything else you want to say now?"
Ying Zheng's voice reached Xu Fu's ears again.
Xu Fu, Lu Sheng and others are alchemists who belong to the sect of summoning gods and impeaching ghosts. They are more imaginary existences than the so-called Qi Refining sect. They use ghosts and gods to seek the elixir of immortality.
The bottom line is that I can communicate with and know the situation of some ghosts, gods and immortals. The First Emperor will pay me, and I will find the elixir of life.
Both Xu Fu and Lu Sheng had already gone overseas to seek elixirs with Ying Zheng's investment, but they had gained very little. They both said they were close to finding it, so they needed to invest more.
Xu Fu even proposed that 3,000 boys and girls, together with hundreds of workers and a large number of soldiers, would be able to impress the immortal and grant him the elixir of immortality.
"Chen, minister..."
After hearing Ying Zheng's question, Xu Fu was already frightened into confusion, and he couldn't say anything for a while.
"It seems you have nothing to say."
Ying Zheng couldn't help but show disappointment on his face. The people he trusted most before were the alchemists of the Summoning Gods and Impeaching Ghosts faction represented by Xu Fu.
Afraid that Pill Refining and Qi Refining would be found to be deceiving Own, Ying Zheng still has some hope for Xu Fuliu.
After all, Mr. Li has a true biography, and he also talks about the power of Supernatural Power and immortal magic. Doesn't it mean that there are real immortals in the world?
And Xu Fu and others are also looking for immortals. Have they really received revelations from immortals?
However, it now seems that the alchemists of Xu Fu's faction are just liars.
After recruiting so many alchemists, none of them were as capable as Li Jing.
"What about you? What do you want to say?"
Ying Zheng looked at the remaining alchemists and his voice gradually became colder.
"Your Majesty, we did act according to what the ancient books said. There must be immortals living in the immortal mountains in the world, and there must be elixirs of immortality in the world. We failed to help your majesty obtain the elixir, and we deserve death!"
Finally, at this time, Xu Fu came to his senses. Hearing the change in Ying Zheng's tone, he was shocked and hurriedly spoke loudly.
The saying that there are immortal mountains and immortals in this world has been spread since the Warring States Period and was recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
So Xu Fu's words are not a lie.
But of course, after searching for so many years, Xu Fu has never found him. Knowing that Ying Zheng will convict him sooner or later, Xu Fu really has the idea of running away.
But he never told anyone this idea. To the outside world, he had always served the First Emperor conscientiously.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"We have absolutely no selfish motives, let alone deceiving His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty has now cultivated Qi. Isn't it a good proof that mysterious powers beyond ordinary people do exist. Immortals and elixirs of immortality do exist!"
After hearing Xu Fu's words, Lu Sheng and many other alchemists who were kneeling behind them suddenly became more alert.
yes! The alchemists who were beheaded in the front were all harming the First Emperor or practicing fake magic to fool the First Emperor. We are all actually looking for the elixir of immortality according to ancient books.
There must be ghosts, gods, and immortals in the world, otherwise how could your Majesty have developed "Qi"?
Everyone had just seen the shocked and disbelieving expression of Alchemist Han Zhong at the end. No matter what, the First Emperor did seem to have come up with something real.
"Maybe we haven't succeeded in these years and still haven't found the right direction. There really are ghosts, gods and immortals in the world!"
While talking, at this time, the dozen or so remaining alchemists present could not help but believe in their own theory.
But of course, before Xu Fu, Lu Sheng and others claimed to have received revelations from ghosts, gods or immortals, it was naturally nonsense.
However, the original intention of the alchemist was to believe in ghosts, gods and immortals, but he had not seen them for a long time, and he had not been exposed to the power of Transcendent. Naturally, he had to lie in response to Ying Zheng's inquiry.
You can't tell Ying Zheng that you have achieved nothing and seen nothing in these years, right?
There is no need to wait until now. When he said those words, his head was not on the ground and he had already been exiled to nowhere.
Hearing the words of Xu Fu, Lu Sheng and others, Ying Zheng couldn't help but frown.
"Those who are coming, take them all into custody and wait until they are released!"
After thinking about it, Ying Zheng decided to communicate with Mr. Li when the time came, and then deal with Xu Fu, Lu Sheng and others according to the situation.
After hearing Ying Zheng's order, which was not to behead the owl, the dozen or so alchemists present immediately relaxed as if their muscles and bones had been ripped out of their bodies.
"It's good that you're not dead, it's good that you're not dead!"
Lu Sheng even thought silently in his mind.
Now he just prayed that Hou Sheng would not say anything treacherous about the previous private exchange between the two of them, otherwise he would still be dead.
"Your Majesty must have encountered something in Peixian County. Are the rumors about Immortal Li in Peixian County true? Did your Majesty really meet the immortal?"
Xu Fu, who had saved his life from the critical moment, had already thought about many things in his mind.
Not long after, the remaining dozen or so alchemists were all taken into custody.
But while Ying Zheng was dealing with many alchemists, the scene on Yinxian Peak was very different.
I saw an endless stream of people carrying large and small packages of gifts up the mountain. All the gentlemen and families in the countryside wanted to pay homage to Li Jing, the alchemist.
