Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 71: The Qin Dynasty in the Eyes of the Ancestral Dragon! The Rage of the Immortals!

"This horse...if I remember correctly, when you asked someone to carve it, they thought it was a mistake."

Qin Changye laughed.

Looking at the old horse carved in front of me, I can't help but think of that turbulent period.

Those craftsmen all thought that Ying Zheng was of noble birth, so such a horse should not appear here. But they had no idea that it was this horse that carried the most important days of his and Ying Zheng's life.

The march did not stop until they arrived at the State of Zhao.

However, Ying Zheng attached great importance to this horse. I remember that when the horse was dying, he was still complaining for a long time. Finally, he took the little guy out fishing to clear his mind, and his mood began to improve.

Other than that,

Stone mill, table, clothes….
In the cemetery,
Everything was what Qin Changye was once familiar with.

If someone passing by arrived here, they would at most just admire the murals and might not even care about them. But for Qin Changye, these... were all part of his past life.

This was specially prepared for him by Ying Zheng, fearing that he would forget everything he once knew.

"Kid, you have a heart."

Qin Changye let out a breath.

In the eyes of many people, even countless people, Ying Zheng is the tyrannical emperor, but in Qin Changye's eyes, he is still just a child.

He watched him grow up, he also knew about his dark history, he...had also seen the child cry, laugh, and even be confused.

He was like an elder, watching Ying Zheng grow up slowly.

"Brother, why do you look like you're about to cry?"

Little Sizi was carried on Qin Changye's back. At this moment, he used his little hands to wipe Qin Changye's tears: "Don't cry, don't cry. Did someone bully you? Humph~, then Sizi will help you out."

Qin Changye was amused when he heard this, and said with a smile: "You are still helping me? Just don't cause me any trouble."

Little Sizi pouted and snorted, "Damn it! Sizi is very powerful! In addition to father, mother, and sister, many people in the palace say that Sizi's martial arts are powerful~!"

Do they dare not say it?

After all, you are a little princess, and the most favored one in the Li Tang royal family.

"Yes, yes, our Sizi is the best."

Qin Changye didn't want to argue with Xiao Sizi, so he just nodded in agreement.

Only then did Xiao Sizi smile.

Although the little girl was quite naughty, after her behavior, Qin Changye's melancholy after arriving here was greatly relieved.

He continued to carry the little guy on his back and walked inside.

The further you go,

The extremely familiar feeling in my bones reached an unprecedented level.

soon.

Then we arrived at the main tomb chamber.

There is an ice coffin in front, which is the same place where Qin Changye is sleeping.

Qin Changye took out a pot of wine from his arms, walked to the coffin, touched it carefully, and the feeling that everything had changed came over him again.

This ice coffin was made of rosewood. He remembered clearly that this was the wood that he had collected at Taiji Mountain in Zhao State with great effort.

And under this wooden coffin lies...his student, the founder of the Qin Dynasty in history, the first emperor from this land, Emperor Qin Shi Huang.

Qin Changye stared at the coffin, staring, staring, staring...
Eyes twinkling.

In his turbid eyes, the gaze was no longer focused on the decorations in the tomb passage, but as if he had returned to his childhood and saw a childish child sitting in the carriage with him.

"Sir, you said that there are many other countries on the other side of the sea, some of which are even more powerful than the Qin Dynasty and the six kingdoms. Is that true?"

"Yes, in addition to those countries, they also have their own characteristics, just like what Qin has but Zhao does not."

"Then...I want to grab it."

"Grab it? That's a bit difficult. After all, the other side of the sea is far beyond our current capabilities."

“Just because it’s not possible now, doesn’t mean it won’t be possible in the future.”

That day,
Qin Changye saw it, in the child's eyes, he saw a desire called ambition.

……

After arriving in Zhao State.

"Teacher, I went to the academy today, but they all hated me. They said... I, Ying Zheng, was an abandoned child. The Qin Dynasty didn't want me anymore, and my father didn't want me either."

"Who said that?"

"It's Yan Ti, the eldest son of the Yan family."

"Yan Ti? I've got that. You should eat first. The meal was prepared not long ago. It's perfect for eating now. Don't let it get cold."

"Sir, curfew is almost here. Why are you out? Where are you going?"

"I'm going out for a walk. I may not come back tonight."

The next day.

"Sir, you... I went to the school today and saw Yan Ti with a bruised face. Did you do this?"

"I did it? I didn't. I just happened to be out for a walk last night and happened to see him fall and get himself into that state. That's all."

"That's right! You just watched him fall. This matter has nothing to do with us."

"Yes. But kid, I'm sorry that I couldn't get him to apologize to you. I can't reveal my identity. If I ask him to apologize to you, it would be equivalent to telling him that it was us who did it. Now in Zhao State, we need to humble ourselves."

"That's good enough, sir. I was called a bastard and he was beaten up. That's... pretty good."

That day, Ying Zheng's eyes were burning.

He was no longer as anxious as he had been when he first entered the school, because at that moment he knew that he was not alone.

He talked a lot with Qin Changye, about everything in the school and about his classmates.

……

Years later.

"Sir, we are leaving Zhao State. Do you think... can Daqin accommodate me? After all, I have been away for so long. Perhaps in their eyes, I have already been labeled as a member of Zhao State."

"You can do it. Not only do I think you can do it, but even your guards think so. We all believe in you."

"I...I'll try my best..."

That year,
The child who will be a big shot in the future is full of insecurity.

At that time, no one believed that a child could lead the Qin Dynasty to greater success. People thought that it would be great if the Qin Dynasty under the child's rule did not go backwards.

And only they,
Qin Changye and the family generals who accompanied him always believed that the child could do everything.

……

Later, he did.

He destroyed the six kingdoms and laid the foundation for the Chinese nation for this land. He accomplished many things with far-reaching influence. Even many policies in later generations were replicas of the policies of the Qin Dynasty.

"It's been a hard journey for you."

Qin Changye stroked the coffin, his eyes slightly moist.

Looking at the coffin below,

Hazy.

Qin Changye's eyes seemed like a dream, as if he was no longer in the main tomb chamber, but had come to a dark space.

When he looked at his body again, he had actually returned to the way it was when he was wearing the clothes of the Qin Dynasty.

everything around,
It was also changing madly, and eventually became a familiar place in memory, Handan.

Qin Changye's eyes flickered.

From afar, he saw the child from that year, Ying Zheng, appear in front of him.

The child saw a room with some light.

I was walking towards that direction subconsciously.

As the child walked, his body and clothes changed rapidly, as he continued to grow.

The experiences of several decades in the human world were played here like a movie sped up a hundred times, flashing rapidly before Qin Changye and the child's eyes.

"Ying Zheng? Is he the hostage sent by the Qin State?"

"It's so small. Can such a little creature survive?"

"I don't know. I only know that I hate the Qin people very much. They killed my husband."

"Damn Qin people, damn them!"

"...."

On the way, people kept throwing eggs at us.

The child was unmoved by this and continued walking towards the room at a leisurely pace.

He spent his childhood in Handan, Zhao State. Due to the grudges in the Battle of Changping between Qin and Zhao, Qin people with special status such as Ying Zheng and his mother Zhao Ji were not welcome in Handan.

In those days of protons,

He had to face hatred, ridicule, and bullying from his peers, as well as anger and abuse from the people of Zhao towards Qin.

Those people lost their husbands, relatives, and children on the battlefield...
They needed a place to vent, and Ying Zheng became that outlet.

As time went by, the child turned ten years old.

He returned to Qin when he was about ten years old and ascended the throne at the age of thirteen.

"If a child is my Great Qin king, can he be competent?"

"It shouldn't be possible. The future of our Great Qin is in danger!"

"...."

This year,
Endless doubts attacked the child.

Managing the affairs of a country is a huge burden for an adult, let alone a thirteen-year-old boy.

They doubted him and did not believe that he could lead the Qin Dynasty well.

As time went by, I reached the age of twenty-one.

When the child was about twenty-one years old, he experienced the Tai Po Incident.

Lao Ai was the lover of his mother Zhao Ji, and even had two children with her.

That day, he discovered their filthiness.

"A Zheng, please don't kill my two children. They...they are your brothers."

"Don't kill them, please, please!"

That day, the voice of mother Zhao Ji's constant prayers rang out again.

The voice was sobbing and full of pity.

The child was moved, and seemed to want to spare the two men.

But Lao Ai said in front of others that he was his "fake father", which hurt the child's heart.

Keep walking and keep walking.

This time,
Qin Changye heard bursts of crying and at the same time saw the child's knowing smile.

That was when Ying Zheng's child was born. He had endless expectations for him and named him Fusu.

The world of Ying Zheng, which had been dark for half his life, seemed to have some light because of the arrival of Fusu.

this moment,
The child standing in front of Qin Changye couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Fusu, you are still so fond of crying."

Ying Zheng's steps, which had never wavered but were determined to move forward, now stopped for Fusu.

He stretched out his hand, subconsciously wanting to pinch his son's little face, but it was like reaching into water, nothing happened except creating ripples.

At this moment, all the words that Ying Zheng originally wanted to say to tease Fusu came to a halt.

Then he sighed, withdrew his hand and continued walking forward.

while walking.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of him, full of blackness and shrouded in darkness.

No one could see his face clearly, but when Ying Zheng saw him, his eyes, which had been calm as a well, began to ripple a little.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to give you everything! I am willing to give you everything!"

The black shadow shouted loudly, then abandoned everything and rushed towards the enemy, dying together with the enemy.

after that,

Dark shadows appeared one after another, they protected Ying Zheng from that year, and every word and sentence they said expressed their ardent support for Ying Zheng. Their fierce will to fight was only for Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng had followers around him.

Later, more and more followers came.

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands...
More and more dark shadows were protecting him on both sides.

Too many eyes were focused on him, which made Ying Zheng feel pressured. He didn't know if he could bear the burden.

The shadows gathered and gathered, and there were more and more of them.

They followed behind Ying Zheng, chasing after Ying Zheng, and the flag with the word "Qin" on it could be seen everywhere.

Surrounded by them,

Ying Zheng came to the door.

Gently, slowly.

Ying Zheng pushed open the door.

At the same time, endless light appeared in front of Ying Zheng and Qin Changye.

Inside the room,

That is...that is a world.

A world called Daqin.

Ying Zheng saw it, and Qin Changye saw it too.

The Qin Empire is famous throughout the world. We can see that Ying Zheng's former followers have achieved merit and lived a good life one by one. We can also see that Fusu, Ying Zheng's son, who had high hopes, is leading the Qin Empire today.

original,

Inside the room was Ying Zheng's imagination of the future of the Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng watched and watched.

Finally, his eyes fell on a flag. That flag also had the word "Qin" written on it. It was no different from the other flags, except that it kept fluttering in the wind.

"Sir, is Daqin okay now?"

The child, with ambition in his eyes, spoke slowly.

In his eyes,

There is still only the black dragon flag fluttering in the air.

"Da Qin...is dead."

Qin Changye sighed softly.

The words fell.

The child's eyes flickered with desolation: "The Great Qin, is it dead..."

"Fusu, after all, couldn't carry it." As he spoke, Ying Zheng's figure turned into sand and drifted away with the wind.

This space,

It is also constantly turning into sand and collapsing.

This is Qin Changye’s nightmare.

He often wondered, if he had told Zulong everything back then, would the outcome have been much better?

But he wasn't sure.

Because of his experiences in the Shang Dynasty and later generations, he understood that as long as the people of this land have desires, they will never be eternal.

Killed Zhao Gao and killed Hu Hai.

How can you be sure that there will not be a new Hu Hai in the Qin Dynasty in the future?
Where there are people,
Wherever there is a world, there is conflict.

As long as human desires exist, there will always be struggles.

If there are countries outside, then we will fight with them. When we are invincible all around, then we will start fighting internally, and it will never end.

It is impossible to kill all corrupt officials, and the same goes for people who are full of desires.

And he, Qin Changye,
He is destined to be just a person, at most someone who lives longer. He cannot stop the new "Zhao Gao" of the Qin Dynasty in the future. He has to sleep, and he must sleep.

The Qin Dynasty could not escape destruction because there were desires on this land. The subsequent dynasties could not escape destruction either. As long as there were desires on this land, the destruction of the country was only a matter of time.

Just like human life span,

Where there is a beginning, there is an end. Some people just live a little longer, and the same goes for those so-called countries.

and,

Apart from this, he also had other unspeakable secrets.

Shaking his head, Qin Changye didn't think about it anymore.

In an instant,
The main tomb chamber appeared before his eyes again, and he was back here.

"Sorry, kid..."

Qin Changye let out a breath and expressed his apology again.

Over the past thousand years,

Every time he arrived here, he was filled with such emotions and would also say an apology.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that... I brought your favorite wine back then, let's have a drink first."

Qin Changye began to open the small wine flask, then sprinkled it around Ying Zheng and started drinking.

Downed a few glasses of wine.

Qin Changye's mood was better now, but he suddenly discovered that Xiao Sizi was missing.

"Hmm? Sizi, where are you?"

Qin Changye said with a serious expression.

"Second brother, Sizi is here~!"

The voice of Xiao Sizi came from not far away.

Hearing this,

Qin Changye breathed a sigh of relief, luckily the little guy didn't get lost. However, the little guy ran around too much, and he almost disappeared after just a few moments of watching.

He walked over quickly.

I saw the little guy staring blankly at a black brick below.

"Sizi, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Changye asked,
Little Sizi's pretty eyebrows were almost wrinkled into a ball: "Second brother, did you notice that this brick is different from other places!"

"Based on Sizi's excellent experience in tomb exploration, there is definitely something wrong!"

Qin Changye looked over and indeed found something wrong.

"This... this brick is darker than other places."

Qin Changye touched the brick, and in that instant, he heard a click, as if some mechanism had been pried open.

Subsequently,

A bamboo slip was pushed out by the brick.

This!
There is another world!
Qin Changye was a little surprised.

"Wow! Brother, something came out!"

There was light in little Sizi's eyes. She was the first to discover this and her heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Qin Changye smiled and rubbed the little guy's head: "We still have to rely on our Sizi, otherwise, we won't be able to find this place."

"Hehe, no! Sizi also found it by chance." Little Sizi was rarely humble.

Qin Changye didn't say much. He took the bamboo slips very seriously and opened it slowly.

[Sir, these are Zheng'er's last words to you.]

Qin Changye was stunned just by seeing this beginning, and then his eyes turned slightly red.

"Hey, Zheng'er? Second brother, who is that?"

Little Sizi was a little curious.

She can read. At her age, if she can read, she is considered a little genius.

"Zheng'er... He is an ancestor, an ancestor to you."

Qin Changye rubbed the little guy's head and said.

"Ancestors?"

Little Sizi was confused: "What ancestors? Sizi doesn't understand. Second brother, please open it quickly! Sizi wants to continue reading!"

Qin Changye smiled lightly: "Okay."

He opened it slowly.

At the same time, his heart, which had been relatively calm for almost a thousand years, became more and more nervous as he opened more bamboo slips.

What did that child leave for him a thousand years ago?
Are you blaming him?

Qin Changye was a little nervous, and at the same time, he felt unusually uneasy.

Finally, it’s opened.

[Sir, I wanted to write this bamboo slip for you yesterday and place it where you are sleeping, but the arrival of Fusu Yaoyao and the others made me want to go into the ancient tomb to visit you, so I will leave this bamboo slip to be written today.]

[And this bamboo slip will not be placed in your sleeping place, sir, because I am afraid that Fusu and his men will accidentally open it when they visit next time, so I will place this bamboo slip in my tomb in the future.]

[Sir, when you wake up again, you must be the future Qin Dynasty, right? I don't know what generation the Qin Dynasty will be at that time, but I believe that the future Qin Dynasty will be more glorious and powerful than the present one.]

[My generation is not capable of crossing the sea and conquering the countries you mentioned. We can only build the Great Wall in the north to resist the Huns, but I firmly believe that the future Qin emperors will be able to do it.]

[Just like the six generations of Qin Fen, who conquered the six kingdoms in one fell swoop, the emperor of the Qin Dynasty will also need time to settle down and do what we have discussed before, to unify the whole world.]

[In the future... sir, it must be the black dragon flag of the Great Qin that sweeps across the world, right? The Great Qin emperor of the future, my era is very interesting, I guess your era is also very interesting, right? ]

[In my time, we were still struggling to fight the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, hoping to wear out their generation. Are you already living in an era without the remnants of the Six Kingdoms? ]

[It is my dream and that of Meng Tian and others to have the black dragon flag of the Great Qin fall to more places without the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, because in that era, we can see the Great Qin Empire with all its people as one, without too many opposing voices to launch external conquests, and without sour Confucian scholars to disrupt the court.]

[We believe that in your era, you have already successfully unified the entire Great Qin, expanded the territory, and continued to advance beyond the borders of the world called Blue Star that you mentioned.]

[Have you already rushed out of Asia, as you mentioned? Have you conquered the Western world? Have you ruled more territories?]

[We have laid the foundation for you, the foundation for uniting the seven kingdoms. When you and the future of the Qin Dynasty see this bamboo slip, you may be marching to the other side of the sea, and you will uncover more new worlds that our generation does not know.]

[Can the school be expanded? Can the Great Wall be built without construction? Will the Xiongnu be destroyed? Will the borders of the Qin Dynasty be expanded several times more than they are now?]

[There are many more things that I think you can do, because my ancestors laid the foundation in this way, so that my generation has strong power enough to unify the six kingdoms.]

[I… have also laid the foundation for you. I believe you can definitely achieve what I envision. I have to say that I envy you very much. You can see a more powerful Qin.]

[Sir, I also envy you because you can see the future of Daqin.]

[Sir... Please continue to look at Daqin. The Daqin you woke up for the first time, the second time you woke up, the third time you woke up, and even... the times you wake up in the future, please continue to look at it, look at it seriously, and keep growing up.]

[Daqin is still a child in my hands, but I know that you will be able to watch him grow up and become an "adult". ]

【Take care, sir. Take care, future Daqin.】

The bamboo slips record the text, and this is the end.

Read all.

Qin Changye's eyes became more and more complicated. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed and couldn't say anything.

"Brother, this bamboo slip says Daqin. What is that? Is it the same country as the Tang Dynasty?"

Little Sizi was still young and didn't understand the history of the Qin Dynasty, so he simply thought that there were other countries besides the Tang Dynasty.

"Daqin... Daqin, it's gone..."

Qin Changye sighed softly.

His thoughts were complicated at the moment. Would it have been much better if he had told Zulong everything about the Qin Dynasty?

But he is sure that there will be new "Zhao Gao" in the future.

Human desires,

Just like a rolling stone on a mountain, once it starts rolling, it can never be stopped.

As long as "desire" exists, the so-called empire will exist forever, but it will always be just a wish.

Because of this,

He walked through the times, more as a spectator than a participant.

In addition, apart from this reason, he also had other unspeakable secrets and could not really help Daqin.

"Ah? Gone?"

Little Sizi tilted his little head.

Qin Changye smiled bitterly: "Well, he is gone. Sizi, don't ask anymore. We have been here for a long time. Let's go. We should go back."

"We'll come again next time."

"Okay!" Little Sizi agreed without saying much.

Qin Changye put away the bamboo slips, then picked up Xiao Sizi and walked slowly out of the main tomb chamber.

After waking up and visiting Zulong, it was time to leave and start... life in the Tang Dynasty.
.
…….….….….….
Not long after Qin Changye left,

The tranquil main tomb chamber, or even the tranquil Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, once again welcomes a new visitor.

“Da da da”….
The rhythmic sound of footsteps echoed in the tomb.

There are many mechanisms in the tomb, but this person can easily avoid them as if he was walking in his own back garden.

Finally,

He came to the main tomb chamber, and through the broken bronze mirrors, he could see that it was a masked man in a red robe.

Only a pair of eyes were exposed.

The Yin-Yang Bagua fish pattern on the back of the red robe verifies this person's identity.

The red-robed messenger of the Seven Stars, Tianji!

now,

After Tianji arrived at the main tomb chamber,

His eyes were complicated, and he slowly walked towards Ying Zheng's coffin: "Your Majesty, I came to see you getting old."

Coming near the coffin, Tianji began to worship.

But when he saw that the dust nearby was wet, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Has anyone been here?"

"Who else could be here besides me? Wait... could it be him?"

Tianji's eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent, and a person appeared in his mind at this moment, Qin Changye, who woke up yesterday and left the ancient tomb.

Apart from him, only Qin Changye knew how to get into the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

"He's here, haha... As usual, he came to see you when he woke up."

Although Tianji said this with a smile, his tone was still full of murderous intent.

"He helped you a lot back then, but at the same time, he was also full of indifference."

"Your Majesty, he once told you... and us stories about Zhuge Liang, as well as stories about the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West, and so on."

"You and we all marveled at his erudition and broad vision, but when I was immortalized because of him and slowly lived longer, I realized that all of this was true, not a story!"

While talking,
Tianji's eyes were filled with confusion. He held his head and trembled as he said, "Zhuge Liang existed in the future. I saw with my own eyes that Zhuge Liang, just like in the story he told, fell into despair step by step and finally died."

"He...he knows a lot of things, not only about the previous dynasties, but also about many things in the future generations."

"Every time we talked about Daqin's future plans before, he didn't talk much. At that time, you and we all thought that he was not interested in it, but now I know that it's because... he knows that there is no Daqin in the future!"

“He…he…”

As he spoke, Tianji became more and more emotional, and he fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face as he said, "He obviously knew all this, why didn't he tell us? Why?"

"If he had told us back then, we wouldn't have ended up like this. Why didn't he tell us? Why did we have to watch the Qin Dynasty fall?"

The more Tianji spoke, the harder she cried.

Then, he looked up at the icy coffin, with endless murderous intent in his tearful eyes: "He is so ruthless, he betrayed the Qin Dynasty! He also betrayed you!"

"I am the last citizen of the Qin Dynasty, so I have to! Get rid of such a ruthless person for you and the Qin Dynasty!"

"He is not worthy of being the Imperial Master of the Great Qin!"

"We failed several times before, and he didn't kill us because of our past friendship. But this time, we have found...a way to kill him."

"Even though the price is that he and I will die together, we, the Seven Stars, are not afraid!"

A cold voice,
It's like a cold October winter, without any emotion.

He wanted to drag the ruthless Qin Changye down with him... into hell!
.
…….….….….….
at the same time.

the other side.

After leaving the ancient tomb, Qin Changye led Xiao Sizi back.

along the way,

Without too many twists and turns, they returned to Chang'an City safely.

When they arrived at Wangyun Inn, the little one started clamoring for food. In fact, she was hungry on the way, but Xiao Sizi didn't say it.

Because even though the little guy may act naughty, he also knows what he can do and what he cannot do.

Just now we were outside Chang'an City, in a place where there was no one around. How could we find food?
So after coming back, little Sizi shouted for food, lots and lots of it!

Qin Changye agreed and was about to take the little guy to eat, but was stopped by Princess Changle.

Qin Changye could see that Princess Changle's eyes were different from before, and now there was more curiosity in them.

"Master Qin, Little Sizi, you are back."

Princess Changle smiled faintly.

"Wow, sister! Oh my God, you can come down and walk now!"

Little Sizi opened his mouth wide, stunned at the moment.

Princess Changle chuckled and said, "Yes, the medicine you brought back earlier is starting to take effect."

"Sizi, you... have been with Master Qin for so long, but you haven't caused any trouble for him, right?"
