Chapter 287 - Departure

Zhao Chen looked carefully at the laws and decrees that Qin Shihuang had promulgated all those years ago, and started to study the ways of governing a country.

Amongst these laws and decrees, the most important thing is how to make all the books in the world be the same, and how to make a decree the same. The most difficult part is actually "writing the same"!

Before the Qin Empire took over the world, the seven countries had different languages. Of course, they were essentially ancient Chinese characters. If the world did not unify in the end, the Seven Nations could develop their language like Europe. The differences between the different countries were getting bigger and bigger, just like the differences between English, French and German. But in the end, Qin Shihuang unified the world, and unified the language! In the process of writing the same words, the remaining nobles of the seven nations were opposed to it as much as possible. All the nobles of each nation wanted to preserve their country's language to the best of their abilities, because writing was a symbol of civilization, its existence meant that this nation's civilization still existed. However, Qin Shihuang used extremely cruel and cold-blooded methods to unify all of these.

"Qin Shihuang is truly worthy of being the great emperor of this generation! It was because of his unity of character, law and measure that China was completely unified! After Qin Shihuang, although the world has been in chaos many times, every time after the chaos, China would once again unify. Because our language and civilization were all the same, and there was no way to separate them! Qin Shihuang has done a lot for China! " Zhao Chen secretly thought.

"Your Majesty, there are a lot of books left behind by scholars!" At this time, Zhang Xian cried out in alarm.

"Oh!" Zhao Chen regained his senses and immediately headed towards Zhang Xian.

After Qin Yuzhen heard the voice, she also unexpectedly headed towards that direction.

Originally, after coming to this place, Qin Yuzhen was not very interested in ruling a country or using weapons. She was a person of the martial arts world, so how could she be interested in these things? However, after hearing about Fang Shi's books, she became interested!

Fang Shi could also be considered to be a "cultivator", but there was still a certain difference between him and future generations of Taoists! Later generations of Taoists, they were all disciples of the old village, studying the ancient texts and ideas left by Laozi, Zhuang Zi, and the others. As for the ancient cultivators, they were all left behind by Guang Chengzi, Rong Chengzi, Western Queen Mother, and Pure Maiden. There were many similarities between Taoists and Taoists in various aspects, so Qin Yuzhen was very interested in the ancient scrolls of the Taoists.

"This is the ancient book that Qin Shihuang left behind to study immortality!" Zhao Chen received a bamboo scroll and laughed.

"That's right!" Your Majesty was right, this place really does have ancient books. " Curved End also laughed.

"This book seems to be the West Queen Mother's Qi Refining Art!" Flipping open the bamboo scroll, Zhao Chen was slightly startled.

He had originally thought that Western Wangniang's mother and the others were characters from ancient legends, but he never expected that such a person actually existed! There were many similarities between the Qi Refining Art and the inner force skills of this era, but it was much simpler than inner force skills. Moreover, there was almost no system at all: the 12 true meridians, 8 meridian channels, other meridians, and other types of cultivation methods were all put together. There were also some strange thoughts on how to extend one's longevity, how to consume the essence of the world, and there were also some pill refining methods.

"This is the Art of Immortality of Peng Zu!" Just then, Qin Yuzhen also cried out.

"Peng Zu?" Zhao Chen was stunned yet again.

Peng Zu was also a legendary figure. It was said that in the last years of the Shang Dynasty, Peng Zu was already 767 years old, but he did not show any signs of aging. He lived in seclusion deep in the mountains. He loved peace and quiet and had no interest in fame or fortune. His favorite thing to do was to take care of his health. When he first saw his mother, he was already astonished. Now that he saw Peng Zu, he was even more surprised.

"There are no longer any books left behind by these scholars in the future, only some legends about them. No one knows whether or not these people really exist in this world! So it turned out that all their related books were kept by Qin Shihuang here! "No wonder, no wonder!" Curved End said.

"This is very different from my sect's cultivation technique!" Qin Yuzhen said as he flipped through the books that Peng Zu had left behind.

"Your Majesty, here is the detailed record of when Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu out to sea!" Zhang Xian said again.

"Oh!" Zhao Chen walked over and caught the other bamboo slip.

It recorded the emperor's twenty-eight years. Qin Shihuang traveled across the world and came to the Eastern Ocean, ordering Fang Shi Xu Fu to search for the legendary "Penglai, Pangang, Yingzhou" three Immortal Daos. It wasn't until thirty-seven years after the emperor that Xu Fu finally returned to Xianyang. However Xu Fu's hands were empty, and he didn't get the so-called elixir of life. Xu Fu was furious, Xu Fu declared that he had arrived at Penglai Immortal Island and met the immortals on the island, but those immortals despised the thin gift that Qin Shihuang had given them, and were unwilling to give him the Immortal medicine. Qin Shihuang asked the deities what they needed, and Xu Fu asked for three thousand children, as well as the Five Grains Seeds and hundreds of skilled craftsmen who were proficient in all kinds of arts. After that, Qin Shihuang agreed to Xu Fu's request and set sail again. Only this time, Xu Fu did not return.

"Where did Xu Fu go? Did he go to the East Ocean Continent? This is already hard to prove! " Zhao Chen said indifferently as he put the bamboo scroll down.

Everyone had already put down the bamboo block, and only Qin Yuzhen was still carefully observing it.

"If you like it, you can stay here and look it over. You can even take the books out of here. " Zhao Chen came to her side and said.

"Really?" Qin Yuzhen's face revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.

"Of course it's true! The treasure map of the Qin Emperor was originally yours in the Tianshan Sect, so you can share of this treasure! If you are willing to, you can take away all the books here! " Zhao Chen said.

"That's not necessary! The books here are way too old! I was afraid that if I took them out, I would damage them. I'll be taking this bamboo block. " Qin Yuzhen said.

She held a bamboo scroll in her hand. It contained the ancient cultivation method of Rong Chengzi, and she was very interested in it. She had been enjoying it a lot.

"Alright!" Zhao Chen smiled and nodded.

"Find it again!" Zhao Chen said.

At this moment, the soldiers under their command had already entered the area. They carefully searched around the treasure trove, but there were no other hidden doors. It seemed like this treasure trove was what they had found.

"Your Majesty, there are many mechanisms within the treasure trove, but we brought the Imperial Jade Seal in, so none of them were activated. I just took a closer look. The mechanisms here are extremely exquisite, and are worth learning from. " Curved End said.

"This place is indeed a true treasure trove! We need to move all the gold, weapons, etc out! As for these books, he would try his best to move them out as well. In the future, he would be able to copy them and pass them down to the future generations! These are the treasures of our Chinese nation, and they are rare. " Zhao Chen said.

Curved End nodded.

By the time they exited the treasure trove, the sky was already dark.

The snow was still falling non-stop, leaving the world in a vast expanse.

At this time, Qin Yuzhen walked up to Zhao Chen, looked at him and said softly: "I'll be taking my leave now!"

Zhao Chen was startled, then said: "Aren't you interested in the many scrolls and books in Qin Shi Huang's treasure trove? "Why don't you stay and take a good look, and leave now?"

Qin Yuzhen held onto the bamboo scroll which recorded the cultivation method of Rong Chengzi and said: "This is enough! In the future, if I have the chance, I might even come here to borrow your books. "

Zhao Chen was a little disappointed in his heart, and said: "In the future, will we still be able to meet again?"

Qin Yuzhen said: "Everything depends on fate, maybe there will be a time to meet again."

She smiled and turned away. She didn't even look back as she walked away.

Zhao Chen wanted to stop her, but he stopped her in the end! He was interested in her, but unfortunately, she was still very cold! Besides, they hadn't known each other for long, and their relationship was ridiculous! It was normal for the other party to leave.

"Sooner or later, there will come a day when I will take down the entire world! I'll find her then. " Zhao Chen secretly thought.

He was never afraid of hardships and dangers. In his opinion, Qin Yuzhen temporarily leaving was just another difficult obstacle he had to face!
