In the small bamboo forest.
A pair of merchant carriages dressed in brocade and jade clothes were on their way. Sitting in the middle was a wealthy old man with a long beard and extraordinary temperament. Sitting next to him was a coachman dressed in coarse linen clothes with a full beard. However, the old man dressed in brocade and jade robes was extremely respectful to the coachman.
"Your Majesty, leaving the palace so rashly with too few people, I am worried about your safety.”
The coachman had the domineering air of a superior. He snorted coldly and said disdainfully,"I want to go to my own territory often and visit in disguise. In addition, Minister Meng has already reported to me yesterday that the owner of the celestial treasures, the luminous bottle and the music box, has already been invited to Xianyang City.”
Qin Shihuang's pursuit of immortality had reached the point where he did not even want to eat or drink.
Li Si sighed and quickly ordered his subordinates to follow closely behind.
"Eh? What a fragrant wine!"
Ying Zheng's nose twitched, and he was instantly overjoyed. He ordered the group of people to follow the carriage and follow the aroma of the wine. After a while, he saw a young man with a delicate face sitting in the bamboo forest. He was wearing a robe that was neither embroidered nor linen, and looked rather tall and elegant. He was the only one drinking by himself.
"Your Majesty, look!"
Li Si pulled Ying Zheng back and stared at the ground in shock.
Ying Zheng fixed his eyes on it, and could not help but be surprised. He saw clouds that looked like clouds but were not clouds, and clouds that looked like fog but were not fog, rising up from the ground. It was as ethereal as a fairyland. This immediately made Qin Shihuang, who had always been seeking immortality, excited, thinking that he had met an immortal!
"This one is Minister Li. Smelling such a fragrant wine, can I invite Master to have a cup?”Seeing Ying Zheng drooling, Li Si hurried over to greet him.
"Sir, you are a kindred spirit! Let's drink together!"
Xiang Yufei had been putting on airs for three to four days, and finally, Ying Zheng and his group, who were disguised as visitors, covered the ground with dry ice. The dry ice automatically sublimated, and a stage effect cloud appeared, which was used to fool the ancient people with ease.
Li Si drank a cup first, and his face immediately turned red from the spiciness. Seeing that there was no poison in it, Ying Zheng could not wait to drink another cup.
He was also snot from the high concentration of alcohol, but then his throat felt sweet.
"A long time! A long time! I…En, I've traveled the martial world for so long and have drunk countless fine wines, but this is the first time I've drunk such fine wine! He couldn't even tell if it was made from millet or kaoliang.”Ying Zheng praised without hesitation!
"This wine is called Flying Moutai, and it's not a mortal wine.”Xiang Yufei smiled.
Nonsense, if you could taste the taste of the chemicals and chemical seasonings in Moutai, then it would really be a ghost!
Ying Zheng and Li Si looked at each other, both of their faces showing a look of confusion and anger. In addition to Xiang Yufei's previous arrogant attitude, both of them were in awe of him.
"Good name! Flying Moutai! It was indeed a good name! May I know your name?" As a loyal lackey, Li Si immediately checked the household register.
Xiang Yufei pretended to be mysterious and said,"I am Xiang Yufei, from the Water Curtain Cave of the Flowerfruit Mountain in the Immortal Village!"!”
"Flowerfruit Mountain, Water Curtain Cave?"
Ying Zheng, who had never heard of this name before, looked constipated.
"I am familiar with the geography of the Six Nations, but this place…why have I never heard of it?”Li Si asked in surprise.
Ying Zheng's pupils constricted, as if he had thought of something.""Could it be that you are Xiang Yufei, the immortal master that the emperor sent General Meng Tian to invite? I heard that you have countless immortal treasures in your hands. Now, countless high-ranking officials in the court are fighting to collect them.”
"That's right, it's me!" Xiang Yufei said pretentiously.
Ying Zheng's face was filled with joy. He had never thought that he would run into that person so coincidentally.'Alright, now let me see whether this guy is a swindler or a real immortal!'
"I heard that you were invited by the emperor to inquire about immortality. I wonder if we have the fortune to listen to the immortal master's advice?”Li Si asked respectfully.
Xiang Yufei smiled and said," There is no such thing as immortality in the world. If there is really a way to live forever, then wouldn't there be no life or death in the world? By then, no matter how big the world is, it will be filled with people. By then, people will squeeze together and stand shoulder to shoulder. Wouldn't that be hell?" If the Heavenly Dao did not allow it, how could one live forever?”
"Although it is impossible to live forever, it is not difficult to extend one's lifespan. It is not difficult to extend one's lifespan by two to three hundred years.”
A disappointed look appeared on Ying Zheng's face, but the doubt in his eyes was greatly reduced. If he had heard this man say that he could guarantee immortality right from the start, he would never have believed it. However, Ying Zheng believed him even more now that this man was so honest.
At the same time, when he heard that there was a method to extend his lifespan by two to three hundred years, he immediately revealed a look of ecstasy.
I, I have finally found a miracle in this world! It could help him achieve longevity and enjoy the country forever!
The next step was to test whether this person had true ability. He gave a look, and his good friend Li Si immediately understood.
"I've heard of Immortal Master's name. Today, I see that he's indeed extraordinary. I wonder if Immortal Master can let us mortals see Immortal Master's abilities with our own eyes?”Li Si said.
"I inherited the Flowerfruit Mountain's Water Curtain Cave's Fangcun Immortal Technique. My ancestor is the Zhongtian Emperor Ziwei. Whether it's alchemy talismans, cinnabar divination, or the Eight Trigrams, I know everything.”Xiang Yufei was already prepared.
Xiang Yufei had copied the most ridiculous feudal superstition of the later generations.
"Since I'm fated to meet the two of you, I'll give you three more glasses of wine.”
Immediately, a basin of clear water was brought over. Under the watchful eyes of Ying Zheng and Li Si, Xiang Yufei gently waved his hand, and the originally cool water basin immediately boiled, gurgling and emitting scalding hot steam. In an instant, the water boiled. Ying Zheng's face was filled with disbelief, as it was beyond their understanding. He reached out his hand and gently felt the water above him. It was indeed scalding hot!
"This first cup of wine is soju. Please!”At this moment, Xiang Yufei was becoming more and more sage-like and unpredictable in Ying Zheng's eyes.
Ying Zheng and Li Si were both shocked and gulped it down.
Xiang Yufei then took out saltpeter from his wide sleeve. Previously, it was metallic Na. When a small piece was thrown into the water, it would immediately undergo a chemical reaction, producing a large amount of heat energy. The feudal deception of the past had long been used up. However, to the people of the Qin Dynasty, they did not know the principle at all. They all speculated that it was the head of the ghost. Saltpeter itself was transparent. After throwing it into the boiling water, it did not take long for the heat to react.
Ying Zheng's eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets, as the boiling water turned into ice cubes in an instant, emitting a cold air.
Li Si touched the ice block in disbelief and felt a bone-chilling chill.
"The second cup of wine is ice wine.”Xiang Yufei smiled and threw some ice cubes into the wine.
Ying Zheng and Li Si gulped down the wine as if it was wax. At this moment, their attention was no longer on the wine, or else they would definitely have tasted the strange taste of saltpeter.
"The third cup is warm wine.”
Xiang Yufei opened his palm slightly. With a faint click, a flame suddenly burst out of his hand, as if the flame had come out of nowhere. When he opened his palm again, a ball of fire burst out from the flame and fell on the firewood. The firewood was instantly set ablaze, and the blazing fire sparkled with a dazzling light. Ying Zheng's jaw could no longer be closed.
This was no longer a superstitious trick. It was a little trick used to pick up girls in junior high school. He used a lighter to accumulate oil and gas in his clenched fist. After lighting it up, the confined space was like a natural gas tank that could maintain a flame for a period of time. It was extremely cool to light a cigarette. Now, it was used in the Qin Dynasty 2,000 years ago. It was purely a bluff.
The firewood was covered in gasoline, and the flames were three feet high. It was definitely terrifying.
After drinking three cups of wine, Ying Zheng and Li Si were completely shocked by Xiang Yufei's 'immortal' methods, while all his followers were dumbfounded.
"White Jade City in the sky, twelve floors and five cities. The immortal caressed my head and tied my hair to accept immortality.”
Xiang Yufei was composing a poem loudly, showing off Li Bai's poem. Everyone felt that it was wonderful beyond words. When they raised their heads again, they saw that Xiang Yufei had already disappeared from their sight. Ying Zheng and Li Si were shocked. They looked at each other, then immediately sent people to search for him. However, there was not a single soul within a five-mile radius. When they took a closer look, they found that the scene that was shrouded in immortal mist had disappeared, as if everything that had happened before was just a dream.
In fact, the dry ice was used up.
"Could it be that everything that happened just now was just a dream?!”Li Si was stunned.
Ying Zheng suddenly raised his head, and his eyes shone with a scorching light as he shouted excitedly,""Hurry up! Quickly return to the palace! Summon the immortal master immediately. Remember, you must treat him with the etiquette of the country and not neglect him! Hurry up!"
