Chapter 512

The Mirage finally set sail.

Su Xuan was a relatively pragmatic person and did not do too many flashy things.

Like in the original work, the Yin-Yang School was quite flashy. First, when the Mirage appeared in the world, Young Master Fusu came to Sanghai to hold an unveiling ceremony. Afterwards, the Mirage was anchored in Sanghai and did not set sail for a long time. Unsurprisingly, they were waiting for Ying Zheng to tour Sanghai and personally hold the Mirage's departure ceremony.

But thinking about it carefully, it was not strange.

The Yin-Yang School relied on playing gods and ghosts to gain Ying Zheng's trust, and Ying Zheng was a person with heavy suspicion. If they didn't do this, Ying Zheng clearly wouldn't value the matter of the Mirage.

The more grand the Yin-Yang School was in dealing with the Mirage, the more Ying Zheng cared about the trip overseas to find immortals, and subsequently determined that the so-called immortality medicine must be true.

As for Su Xuan, there was absolutely no need to do these things to gain Ying Zheng's trust, because Ying Zheng already trusted him enough.

And the purpose of this trip overseas by the Mirage was made clear to Ying Zheng from the beginning.

It was not to find the so-called immortality medicine, but to search for the treasure of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon.

It was to unravel the mystery of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon.

With the departure of the Mirage, many people in Sanghai City also noticed this scene.

The Mirage had been in Sanghai for a long time, and now that it set sail, it naturally made many people marvel.

This ship, has it finally started?

I don't know where it is going.

Confucian School, Little Sage and Virtuous Manor, on the pavilion by the sea.

Two figures stood quietly.

They were the Second Master Yan Lu who stayed behind in the Little Sage and Virtuous Manor, and the Confucian master Does Xun Zi.

"The Mirage sets sail, I don't know how long this journey will take, and when will they be able to return!" Yan Lu let out a sigh.

Does Xun Zi said softly: "I don't know how long they will take, but I believe that when they return, perhaps it will be the time when a secret that has been passed down for thousands of years is unraveled!"

Yan Lu quite agreed with this statement, and he could not help but sigh in his heart again, "Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon..."

In the library of the Confucian School, there was once a clue to the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon.

Lord Lord Changping found this clue and subsequently told Su Xuan. Su Xuan stepped into the Confucian library and found this clue.

Then, where did this clue come from initially?

Actually, it had to do with Fu Nian's teacher, "Wuming" (Nameless).

After the Tian-Chen usurped Qi, the descendants of Gan Jiang Qi were forced to hide their names and throw away all their past names, just to guard the secret of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, in order to rise again in the future. And because Gan Jiang Qi was a descendant of Gan Jiang Gan Jiang Taigong, the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon had a great origin with Gan Jiang Gan Jiang Taigong in the past, so the secrets they knew were more than ordinary people.

The Qin State's Net (Luowang), for some reason, learned of Wuming's identity, and for the sake of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, had sent people to hunt down Wuming.

Wuming knew his identity was leaked, so before the people of the Net found him, he hid the clue of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon of the Qi State elsewhere, and even told this secret to a good friend. Later, he accepted Yan Lu as a disciple, and before he died, he let Yan Lu go to the Little Sage and Virtuous Manor of the Confucian School, precisely because he had hidden the secret of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon in the Little Sage and Virtuous Manor of the Confucian School.

However, in the end, Yan Lu was unable to guard the secret that his teacher Wuming wanted to guard.

Su Xuan boarded the Confucian School and took away that clue.

Now, the Mirage was built, and they were going overseas to find immortals, which probably meant that Su Xuan had already gathered the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon and was about to crack the secret that had been passed down for thousands of years.

For many remnants of the Six States, Ying Zheng built the Mirage because he believed in the way of immortals and gods, so he prepared to go overseas to find immortals.

Neither Ying Zheng nor the State Preceptor Su Xuan, who deluded Ying Zheng to seek immortals, were good people.

Immortals? Where are there immortals in this world?

It would be best if Ying Zheng had no heart for state affairs because of seeking immortals, causing public grievances to boil!

But for people like Yan Lu who knew the inside story, even if Su Xuan and Ying Zheng had never told the real purpose to the outside world, they could guess some of the truth from it.

Another place in Sanghai City.

Gongsun Gongsun Liji held Jing Jing Tianming's hand, watching the Mirage leave.

After the Mirage completely disappeared, she held Jing Tianming's hand and turned around.

Next, they were about to go to Xianyang.

Qin State, Xianyang, Ying Zheng quickly received the news that the Mirage had set sail.

He sighed leisurely, and then focused all his attention on the upcoming conquest of Regarding Baiyue.

Regarding Baiyue is a general term for the ancient Yue tribes in the southern coastal areas, also known as the Ancient Yue or Yue tribes. Because these ancient Yue tribes were numerous, they were called "Regarding Baiyue." Regarding Baiyue had many branches, including Wuyue, Yangyue, Dong'ou, Minyue, Nanyue, Xi'ou, Luoyue, and many other Yue branches. And the Regarding Baiyue that the Qin State wanted to conquer, the most important ones were three of the tribes.

These three tribes called themselves states and had extremely powerful forces.

One was Nanyue. The state of Nanyue was a native of the Lingnan area. They had powerful forces, were backward and primitive, and were extremely cruel. Usually, they hid in the mountains and forests, often coming out to plunder the Nanhai Commandery and the Lingbei area. When the Qin army arrived, they would scurry into the vast forests and wilderness. In the forests and wilderness, there were many poisonous miasmas, poisonous insects, and fierce beasts. Often, before the great army even stepped into the territory belonging to the Nanyue tribe, they would suffer heavy casualties.

But even so, they could not ignore the state of Nanyue. Leaving them alone would bring great hidden dangers to the Central Plains.

Ying Zheng's conquest of Regarding Baiyue, besides the intention of expanding the territory, also meant to eliminate this hidden danger.

However, wanting to eliminate this hidden danger was not so easy.

You must know that in the original history, Ying Zheng had sent Tu Sui to lead 400, 00 Qin troops to attack Lingnan, initially occupying the Lingnan Guangdong area. In the war to unify Lingnan, the first stage quickly took down the Guangdong area, almost without encountering any major resistance. In Guangxi, they fought for six years, and it was at the cost of "corpses flowing with blood for hundreds of thousands" that they unified the Guangxi and Vietnam regions.

The reason why it took such a long time and spent such a great price was precisely because the geographical environment here was extremely harsh.

Ying Zheng did not know at first that these environments would have such a great impact, so in his initial plan, the first target was Nanyue.

However, because of the many preparations Su Xuan made before leaving, after Ying Zheng realized the difficulty of Regarding Baiyue.

He began to re-formulate the plan to conquer Regarding Baiyue.

Its primary target also changed from the initial Nanyue to... the Minyue State!
