"Are you Xu Fu?" Li Xiu looked at the weirdo in surprise.
Although it is just a sentence, in the thousands of years of human history, there is only one person who deserves this sentence, and that is Xu Fu, who led thousands of boys and girls to go to sea to find the elixir of immortality under the orders of Qin Shihuang. Apart from him
, no one can deserve such a sentence anymore.
"Could it be that Xiaoyue and the others are the virgins who went to sea with Xu Fu? Those boys and girls sleeping in those coffins are those boys and girls?" Li Xiu connected many things at once.
But there are still many doubts. Xu Fu should be a human on earth. Even if he really went to sea to find the elixir of life, he should be on earth. How did he end up in the Dead Sea in the kingdom of demons? So what?
Will they stay on the Dead Sea for thousands of years? What did he mean when he said Xiaoyue and the others were not human?
The weirdo smiled and said: "It seems that you have also heard the story of Xu Fu going to sea, but the story I tell you today may be a little different from the story you have heard."
Li Xiu looked at the weirdo without saying anything. He really wanted to know what kind of story the weirdo would tell.
"Do you know the origin of the theory of immortality?" the weirdo asked with a smile.
"Isn't it a hypothesis put forward by the alchemist?" Li Xiu thought.
"Alchemists were originally a group of people who pursued immortality. Seeking immortals and seeking immortality was indeed what the alchemists did, but who came up with this matter must have a source." The weirdo said.
"I really haven't studied this before." Li Xiu shook his head.
The president turned around, looked at Li Xiu and said with a smile: "He said I'm not a human, right?"
The weirdo looked at the sea in the distance and said quietly: "My story will start with an enlightened person."
"Taoist?" Li Xiu muttered.
"Sure enough, not long after, when the young people accompanied the then emperor to inspect the seaside, they saw the scene of fairy mountains emerging from the sea. The scene shocked everyone, even the supreme emperor in the world was shocked by the scene.
Jaw-dropping..." the weirdo said slowly.
"From his point of view, he is right." The president's answer surprised Li Xiu.
"Really? If I told you that if you don't eat the food on the ship, you will never get off the ship, would you still think that way?" The weirdo looked at Li Xiu and said with a half-smile.
"Your words are somewhat contradictory. Since you are already immortal, what replacement do you need?" Li Xiu naturally didn't believe what the weirdo said.
"How do you know I don't believe it if you don't tell me?" Li Xiu asked.
However, Li Xiu suppressed the impulse in his heart, lay down and continued to sleep, ignoring the knock on the door.
Even the form and level of the demon spirit can be sensed clearly, which makes Li Xiu somewhat confused.
"It's almost time. We should be able to arrive in four days at most." The president smoked a dry cigarette and looked a little solemn.
There was no answer, but there was still a rhythmic knock on the door. Li Xiu looked at the door in a daze, and couldn't help but think of what the weirdo said.
The president was the same as before, eating and drinking without caring, and didn't say much to Li Xiu. He just asked Li Xiu to rest more and conserve his energy.
"Tao has never been a religion. There are countless religions in the world, but no matter which sect there is, there are gods and demons. Humans can only pray for the protection of gods and demons. Only Tao pursues the laws and principles of heaven and earth. Taoists
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a scientist from ancient times. In ancient times, there was a young man who wanted to establish a sect, create a theory, and be the founder of a theory that would be passed down forever. However, there were many great masters in that era, and although that young man was not
He has some talent and learning, but compared with everyone at that time, he is still much inferior."
"Don't worry, he is in the guest room and can't hear any noise outside," the weirdo said.
Li Xiu didn't answer, just looked at the weirdo.
"Where are you from? Demon country?" Li Xiu asked again.
As time passed day by day, Li Xiu gradually had a strange feeling. He gradually seemed to have a sense of this big ship.
The weirdo chuckled and said: "Why do you think he lied to me and took boys and girls out to sea? What he wants are those boys and girls. Those are the best blood among human beings. That's what he needs."
Before Li Xiu could speak, the president said with a smile: "No need to say anything, just remember what I told you before coming here."
Li Xiu was stunned for a while, then laughed out loud and said, "How long will it take to reach the Sea of Heaven?"
When he was in the room, he sensed the warning from the dragon. He originally thought it was his illusion, but when he went out to the deck, he found that the dragon head had indeed reacted, and a god-level demon approached the ship.
Li Xiu knew that the incident mentioned by the strange man should be the mirage that Qin Shihuang saw on the beach. Legend has it that this was the starting point for Qin Shihuang to send people to go to sea to search for the elixir of immortality in the Immortal Mountain.
Although the demon spirits that can survive in the Dead Sea are at least light-based, it is a pity that Li Xiu is no longer interested in light-based demons.
Not long after he lay down, there was another knock on the door.
As the days passed, Li Xiu's sense of the ship became more and more sensitive. He could even sense the fluctuations caused by the friction between the ship and the sea water as the ship moved in the sea. Whenever a demon approached the ship, Li Xiu would be able to sense it without the dragon's head warning.
Every time Li Xiu went to sleep, there would be a knock on the door, but it wouldn't last long. Most of the time it would just be ten rhythmic knocks on the door. If Li Xiu didn't open the door, the knock on the door would disappear.
The president smiled and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.
That divine demon spirit was far inferior to the black dragon. Li Xiu only used the Forbidden Spear to kill it and took away its magic core. Unfortunately, nothing exploded, not to mention the divine gems, not even the talent gems.
.
"Are you?" Li Xiu looked at the president without giving in.
"You mean Xiaoyue and the others?" Li Xiu was slightly startled.
This answer made many thoughts flash through Li Xiu's mind. He stared at the president with a complicated expression and said, "Did you establish the Demon Kingdom?"
"Because you are the person he sent to replace me. Your future fate will be the same as mine, eternally immortal and spending endless years of loneliness on the Dead Sea..." The strange man's voice was like a ghost, which made Li Xiu
The hair on my body stood up when I heard it.
"This is nothing unusual. Your sister is from the outside world. Is this worth making a fuss about?" the president said with a smile.
"He didn't get immortality?" Li Xiu asked.
"What else could it be? Of course it's the sacrifices." The weirdo replied.
Li Xiu did some experiments and found that he could command the door to open with his consciousness, and he could also have tables and chairs automatically come to him.
The weirdo laughed and said: "When the young man saw the vision, he knew that the opportunity that the man said had arrived, so he boldly told the story of what he had seen in that incredible world, which impressed the emperor, and followed a few things that the man said.
I asked the emperor for permission to go to sea to find the elixir of life, and according to what the man said, I built a boat with wood, took the boys and girls as sacrifices, and set out to sea."
"Of course you don't know, because you have never experienced that kind of loneliness." The weirdo took a sip of wine, then threw the wine bottle to Li Xiu and said, "The young man has immortality, but what he wants now is just death.
, such a simple wish, any ordinary person has the ability, but he can no longer achieve it. "
"Who?" Li Xiu asked as he sat up and looked at the door of the room.
"Who?" Although Li Xiu had vaguely guessed who was who, he still wanted to hear the answer from the weirdo himself.
The strange man did not answer him, but continued: "The man took the young man to a world that he could not imagine in his dreams. Even the fairy world was probably nothing more than this. It caused an unimaginable mental impact on the young man and made him arrogant.
That young man has to admit that compared with this world, everything he thought before was childish and ridiculous."
"If I said that your sister is not qualified to take my life, would you believe it?" The president stared at Li Xiu and said with a half-smile.
"You can name Taoism instead of Taoism. It shows that you are still involved in this aspect. Then my story will be easier to tell."
This kind of feeling is very strange. One time when Li Xiu returned to the room and wanted to open the door, before he could reach out to push the door open, the door opened by itself.
"So, you are not from the Demon Kingdom, but from the outside world?" Li Xiu looked at the president with a complicated expression.
"Did he tell you that you can't eat anything on the ship?" The weirdo said this suddenly without answering.
"You are Xu Fu who went to sea to find the elixir of immortality. Who was that person you met?" Li Xiu asked, staring at the weirdo.
"Didn't I tell you just now that Xiaoyue and the others are not human, at least not completely human anymore. The blood of ordinary people is useless to him. The Everlasting Life has been in the Dead Sea for thousands of years, and Xiaoyue and the others have been corroded by the power of the Dead Sea.
, are no longer ordinary human beings, they are what he needs now."
"Guan Jinghao told me something." Li Xiu continued.
The weirdo chuckled and said, "I've finished telling the story. It's up to you whether you believe it or not. The wine is in your hand. It's up to you whether you drink it or not. It's your business whether you get off the boat or not. It's your choice."
"Who knocked on the door?" Li Xiu asked with a frown.
"Why?" Li Xiu frowned.
Li Xiu frowned and said nothing. Although there were many flaws in what the weirdo said, it was not completely unreasonable.
"Smart." The president's expression was quite approving.
When he saw the weirdo again, the weirdo didn't even look at Li Xiu. After that time, the weirdo didn't talk to him again, as if the last conversation never happened.
After a while, when there was no response from the dragon head, no demons approached the ship, and the president never came out, Li Xiu went back to his room to rest.
"After returning from that bizarre world, the man told the young man that he would soon have a great opportunity. As long as he could seize that opportunity, he would have the opportunity to seek immortality and achieve the road to eternal life. But the man said
There are a few things that young people must complete, otherwise they will not be able to achieve immortality."
"Do you know my sister?" Li Xiu was shocked.
"Although the young man knew that it was impossible to establish his own sect with his own talents, he was arrogant and refused to give up, until he met a person, a person who should have been dead long ago.
"
This made Li Xiu have to rethink what the weirdo said to him, and he couldn't help but look at the pot of wine on the table.
At that time, Li Xiu thought there was something in his room, and he searched around but found nothing. Later, he discovered that there was nothing in the room at all, and the reason why the door opened was because of his consciousness.
The body of the demon spirit was finally pulled onto the boat by Li Xiu. This was a god-level material, and he would take it back to the old official to make a demon costume.
"Is the person who knocked on the door really someone who has never eaten or drank on the ship before?" Li Xiu had the urge to open the door and take a look.
"Are you the Emperor of Demon Kingdom?" Although he had already guessed the answer, Li Xiu was still a little surprised.
"You guessed half of it right," the president said with a smile.
While the president was smoking a cigarette alone after dinner, Li Xiu walked over.
"I know what you are thinking, and I can tell you for sure that what they saw was not a mirage. Do you think that the one emperor who has swept across the world and wiped out the world will not even know about mirages? Even if he doesn't know, he hasn't seen it.
However, with so many strange people under his command, how can it be that no one knows what they are?"
What's even more frightening is that he can even sense the warning dragon head on the bow of the big ship.
For several days in a row, Li Xiu went to bed hungry every day because he had never met any divine demons, and he had no interest in killing ordinary demons.
"Because he can no longer get what he wants from me, and must find an obedient person to take control of the ship on my behalf. He has done these things before, but he just didn't succeed. But you are different, you have the ability to take over.
Me." The weirdo continued with a sneer: "You don't really think that he wants to take you to the Sea of Heaven, do you? There are many ways to go to the Sea of Heaven, why do you have to take this boat and wander on the sea for such a long time?
Time? That’s because only if you stay on the ship long enough can you become a part of the ship. Even your soul will be imprinted on the ship and you will never be able to leave. This wine can resist the erosion of the ship. Only by drinking
Only by drinking alcohol can you avoid being assimilated into the ship and be able to get off the ship. If you think about it carefully, if he doesn't let you eat or drink, why does he drink so much and eat meat?"
When he saw the president again, Li Xiu decided to listen to what the president had to say.
"Who are you talking about?" the weirdo asked with a half-smile.
"So?" Li Xiu asked, staring at the president.
"It turns out that the boys and girls Xu Fu brought out were used as sacrifices. No wonder the strange people said that Xiaoyue and the others were not human." Li Xiu thought to himself.
The weirdo's face was almost obscured by his messy hair and beard, but the tangled and painful expression on his face could still be seen.
Li Xiu caught the flask but did not drink. He still remembered that the president said that nothing on the ship could be eaten.
If the president wanted to harm Han Ling'er, he could not let him succeed even if he risked his life.
"Come on, but that's not the immortality he wants. If he could do it over again, he would rather face death than want that kind of immortality." The weirdo sighed: "If a person has immortality, but only
Do you want to live forever on a ship, sailing alone in an endless world with no starting point and no end, and being unable to get off the ship forever?"
"The young man is ambitious and thinks that after going to sea this time, he will be destined to be immortal and become the being who will be sent back to the emperor on earth. By then, let alone founding a sect, even if he stands on the emperor's head and shits on him, the world will
How could we do anything to get him? But when he actually took the boys and girls out to sea, he realized that everything was wrong... and it was so wrong... This was a decision that would make him regret it for the rest of his life... "
"With his ability, it shouldn't be difficult to grab it directly. It shouldn't be so troublesome." Li Xiu said.
"President?" Li Xiu said.
"It doesn't make any difference to me whether I can hear it or not," Li Xiu said.
"You may not believe what I said." The president said calmly.
After that, the weirdo turned and walked towards the cabin. When he reached the cabin door, he suddenly turned his head, showing his white teeth, and said to Li Xiu: "If you don't believe it, when you are sleeping, someone will knock on your door."
Just open the door and take a look."
"I don't know." Li Xiu shook his head slightly.
Li Xiu thought about it and it was indeed true. If he wanted to go to the Sea of Heaven, he could use the Trial Gate that goes directly to the Sea of Heaven. However, it was indeed unreasonable for the president to choose the nearer and seek the farther. It was indeed unreasonable to take a boat and wander on the Dead Sea for so many days.
"Lao Ba gave me a heaven test and found out that I died due to a spirit. Your sister's name is Han Ling'er. People are afraid of death when they get old, so I went to find out." The president blew out a smoke ring and said nonchalantly.
"Those people who took the boat in the past had nothing to eat." The weirdo said and entered the cabin.
"This thing is getting more and more interesting. According to the weirdo, he is Xu Fu. The person who gave him the opportunity is the Taoist great power... then the president..." Li Xiu looked at the ups and downs.
The submerged sea makes it more interesting.
"What does he want from you?" Li Xiu looked at the weirdo calmly and asked.
The weirdo smiled and said: "Pangu created the world, Nuwa Fuxi created man, Kuafu chased the sun, and Houyi shot the sun. In ancient myths, human beings only played the role of being saved. Until the era of Emperors Yan and Huang and Chi You, human beings were still there.
He is just a supporting role in the world. As for who gave mankind the belief to seek the Tao and become immortal, maybe everyone has their own answer, and my answer is the emergence of the Tao."
Li Xiu looked at the president without saying anything. He actually didn't believe it. Although the president was very strong, Li Xiu felt that Han Ling'er should be stronger. At least that's how the two of them gave him the impression.
"You think your sister is very strong, and that's right. She is indeed very strong, so strong that even I was a little surprised. But in the final analysis, she is essentially no different from you, but I am different." President
Said slowly.
"What's the difference?" Li Xiu asked, staring at the president.
"She is a human... and I... am a god..." the president said with narrowed eyes.
