Chapter 201: Two Hundred Years Later, Qin Shi Huang
Time passed by imperceptibly.
In the following years, many major events occurred.
When Peng Feng appeared, it was 473 BC.
In 464 BC, King Goujian of Yue died, and the national strength of the Yue State also declined sharply.
In 453 BC, the three major families of Jin, Zhao, Han, and Wei, joined forces and destroyed the largest family of Jin, the Zhi clan.
In 379 BC, Duke Kang of Qi passed away, and his fiefdom was taken over by the Tian clan. The Jiang surname of the Lü clan withdrew from the historical stage of ruling Qi. This event is known as Tian Chen replacing Qi.
In 376 BC, Han, Zhao, and Wei abolished Duke Jing of Jin, moving him to Duanshi ((present-day Qinshui County, Jincheng City)). They divided the remaining land of the Jin ducal house, establishing their own states. The last three of the Seven Warring States finally emerged.
From 380 BC to 363 BC, the ruling class within the Yue State engaged in continuous infighting, causing the Yue State to be weakened considerably from a major power. It was eventually destroyed by the Chu State.
At this point, the Seven Warring States were officially formed.
These seven states were Qin, Chu, Qi, Zhao, Han, Wei, and Yan.
This period is historically known as the Warring States Period.
Of course, there were other states during the Warring States Period, such as the Zhongshan State.
The Seven Warring States fought against each other for hundreds of years without respite.
During the Warring States Period, four famous generals emerged: the Killing God Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Li Mu, and Lian Po.
In addition, there were the Four Lords of the Warring States: Lord Mengchang Tian Wen, Lord Pingyuan Zhao Sheng, Lord Xinling Wei Wuji, and Lord Chunshen Huang Xie.
There were also many other famous people.
These people traveled across the seven states, creating a series of stories.
The era of the Seven Warring States was an era of heroes and outstanding individuals, producing countless wonderful stories.
Many people who lived through the era of the Seven Warring States thought that the seven states might fight each other forever.
But at this time, a peerless hero and hegemon appeared.
The Eternal Emperor, Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng worked diligently to strengthen the Qin State’s national power. His own strength also continued to improve, eventually reaching the Loose Immortal Realm. He was also the first person to reach the Loose Immortal Realm in the human world in thousands of years, since the separation of the human and immortal realms after the Investiture of the Gods War.
Ying Zheng also unified the six states, established the nine provinces, standardized the writing system, and standardized the wheel tracks.
The world was unified.
The world was called, Qin!!!
◈◈◈
At this time,
On the southeast coastline of the Qin State.
Maoshan.
This place was known as a mysterious mountain.
It was said that there was a strange barrier here.
No matter who approached this mountain, they would automatically circle around at the foot of the mountain, unable to ascend it at all. The locals all said that there were immortals on this mountain.
And at this time,
On top of Maoshan,
On a huge stone chair that was ten meters high.
A middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged.
This middle-aged man had a firm and handsome face.
However, this middle-aged man probably hadn’t moved for a long time, and his entire body was covered with a thick layer of dust.
After an unknown amount of time,
This middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes.
In that instant, it seemed as if a divine light suddenly shot out.
*Pa!*
It could be seen that in the distance, a tree was directly blasted into powder under the gaze of the divine light.
And this middle-aged man on Maoshan was naturally none other than Peng Feng.
Peng Feng looked at the dust all over his body and sighed helplessly, “I don’t know how many years have passed again.”
He first patted off the dust on his body, and then, with a splash, he jumped directly into a nearby pool of water.
*Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle,*
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn,
The dust and dirt on Peng Feng’s body had long been washed away, revealing his solid muscles.
He then took out his clothes.
How were these clothes preserved?
◈◈◈
He had directly used some techniques to create a vacuum environment, throwing a set of clothes inside. In this way, the clothes would not be damaged, and he would have clothes to wear after waking up.
After Peng Feng put on his blue robes, he raised his head and looked at the sky.
In the sky above, the Heavenly Dao Three Rankings were displayed.
He had no interest in the other rankings. The first one he looked at was the Heaven List.
Heaven List First: Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng.
Heaven List Second: Wang Jian.
Heaven List Third: Meng Tian.
Heaven List Fourth: Li Si.
Heaven List Fifth: Zhao Gao.
Heaven List Sixth: Wang Ben.
Heaven List Seventh: Meng Ao.
Heaven List Eighth: Zhang Han.
Heaven List Ninth: Xiang Liang.
Heaven List Tenth: Zhang Liang.
Seeing this list, Peng Feng was stunned.
Looking at the names on this Heaven List.
So, now it was the Qin Dynasty, the era of Qin Shi Huang. It seemed that it should be the timeline after Qin Shi Huang unified the six states.
When he appeared in this world, it was 473 BC. He and Xishi had lived in seclusion on Maoshan for seventy years. The timeline when he went into slumber was around 400 BC.
In other words, he should have slept for about one hundred and eighty years.
He really slept for a long time.
Peng Feng yawned lazily.
What should he do next?
An idea immediately flashed in Peng Feng’s mind—to meet the Eternal Emperor Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng.
In this era, Huaxia itself was strong and powerful, so there was no need for him to do anything. But it would be interesting to meet a great emperor like Qin Shi Huang.
Since he had made a decision, he would no longer delay.
First, he ran to the tomb of his second wife, Xishi, cleaned the tomb, offered fresh flowers, and placed them in front of the tomb: “Xishi, I have awakened again. Unfortunately, you are no longer here. However, I still want to thank you. After Qingzhao passed away, for a thousand years, I have felt a bone-deep loneliness. The seventy years I spent with you allowed me to feel the warmth of a home again, and I was not so deeply lonely.”
“Well then, goodbye.”
Peng Feng simply packed up and went directly down the mountain. He was also well-prepared for this trip down the mountain, bringing a lot of wine. There was no way around it, this was the Qin Dynasty, and there was definitely no good wine.
And so,
Peng Feng carried a huge blue wine gourd that was as tall as a person, containing at least a hundred pounds of fine wine, and leisurely went down Maoshan.
Of course, after going down the mountain, he continued to add some power to the formation to prevent anyone from going up Maoshan. This was Xishi’s resting place, and he did not want anyone else to disturb it.
When Peng Feng went down the mountain, there were a few woodcutters at the foot of the mountain cutting firewood.
These woodcutters saw that a person had actually come down from the legendary mountain, and they couldn’t help but be terrified: “Someone has actually come down from the mountain. Could this be an immortal?”
Then, when these woodcutters went back and told others, the nearby villages all had this legend, saying that an immortal carrying a huge wine gourd had come down from the mountain.
◈◈◈
After Peng Feng went down the mountain, he was not in a hurry.
He was leisurely sightseeing, enjoying the completely natural scenery of the Qin Dynasty.
When he encountered injustice on the road, he would stop and intervene.
Of course, he also discovered that the food now was much better than in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was barely edible.
And so, he was already close to the capital of Great Qin, Xianyang.
