Chapter 828

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 did things relatively flashily. First, when the Mirage appeared in the world, Young Master Fu Su came to Sanghai to hold an unveiling ceremony. Later, the Mirage was anchored in Sanghai and did not set sail for a long time. As expected, it was prepared to wait for Seeing Ying Zheng to tour east to Sanghai and personally hold the Mirage's setting sail ceremony.

However, thinking about it carefully, it was not strange.

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

The more grand the Yin-Yang School did in dealing with the Mirage, the more Seeing Ying Zheng cared about the trip to sea to find immortals, and then concluded that the so-called immortality medicine must be true.

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

And the purpose of this Mirage going to sea, he had already made it clear to Seeing Ying Zheng at the beginning.

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

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

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

The Mirage had stayed 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 Grandmaster of the Confucian School, 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.

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

Yan Lu agreed with this statement quite a bit, 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 Changping found this clue and then told Su Xuan about it. Su Xuan stepped into the library of the Confucian School and found this clue.

Then, where did this clue come from initially?

Actually, it had something to do with Fu Nian's teacher, "Wuming".

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

The Luo Wang of the Qin Guo, for some reason, knew Wuming's identity, and for the sake of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, had sent people to hunt down Wuming.

Wuming knew that his identity was leaked, so before the people of Luo Wang found him, he hid the clue of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon of the State of Qi elsewhere, and even told a good friend about this secret. 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 once 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 also unable to protect the secret that his teacher Wuming intended to protect.

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

Now, the Mirage was built, and they went out to sea to find immortals, which probably meant that Su Xuan had already collected the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon and was about to solve the secret that had been passed down for thousands of years.

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

Whether it was Seeing Ying Zheng or the State Preceptor Su Xuan who bewitched Seeing Ying Zheng to seek immortals, neither were good people.

Immortals? Where are there immortals in this world?

It would be best if Seeing Ying Zheng was distracted from 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 Seeing Ying Zheng never told the real purpose to the outside world, they could guess some truth from it.

Another place in Sanghai City.

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

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

Next, they were about to go to Xianyang.

Qin Guo, Xianyang, Seeing Ying Zheng soon received the news that the Mirage had set sail.

He sighed leisurely, and then focused all his attention on the matter of conquering Baiyue that was about to begin.

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

These three tribes called themselves states and their power was extremely powerful.

One was Nanyue. The State of Nanyue was the indigenous people of the Lingnan land. They were powerful, backward and primitive, and extremely cruel. They usually hid in the mountains and forests, and often came out to plunder the Nanhai Commandery and the Lingbei land. When the Qin army arrived, they fled into the vast forests and wilderness. In the forests and wilderness, it was filled with many poisonous miasmas, poisonous insects and fierce beasts. Often, before the army even stepped into the territory where the Nan 403 Yue tribes lived, they suffered heavy casualties.

But even so, they could not be ignored. Leaving them would bring great hidden dangers to the Central Plains.

Seeing Ying Zheng conquering Baiyue, besides the meaning of expanding the territory, did not mean that he did not have the intention to solve this hidden danger.

However, wanting to get rid of this hidden danger was not so easy.

You know, in the original history, Seeing Ying Zheng once sent Tu Sui to lead 400,000 Qin troops to attack Lingnan, and initially occupied the Lingnan Guangdong region. In the war to unify Lingnan, the first stage quickly took down the Guangdong region, almost without encountering any major resistance. In Guangxi, it fought for six years, and it was at the cost of "corpses flowing with blood for hundreds of thousands" that it 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.

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

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

He began to reformulate the plan to conquer Baiyue.

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