Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen Phoenix Temple and Xu Fu
"Fang Yetong, what should we do next?" Huang Hua asked carelessly.
Fang Yetong looked at the sketches he drew in his notebook, and then at the photo on his phone, which he copied from Pheasant, "Now." Fang Yetong's eyes haven't moved from the notebook yet, " Now it's time for us to find a place to rest, I'm exhausted."
"Can't you give some useful advice?" Huang Hua said dissatisfied.
The second uncle raised his head and looked at the sky, the clouds began to gather big and dense, and the sky looked dark. According to his experience of traveling through the Devil's Forest, there will be a heavy rain soon, if they can't find a place as soon as possible If you set up a camp, it will be difficult to move an inch on this mountain road. If you are not careful, you will slip into the vine tree area. This is no joke.
"Second Uncle, what are you looking at?" Lu Xiangxiang was more careful. Seeing Second Uncle looking at the sky from time to time with a sad expression on his face, he knew there must be something wrong.
"Let's go quickly and find a relatively stable place to set up the tent. Now, if we encounter prey on the road, we will catch a few rabbits. There will be a rain later. Now the clouds are dense, it looks like After a heavy rain, the soil here is particularly slippery when it meets water, and it is difficult to stand still. If you slip into a vine tree or encounter a wild animal, you will really have no strength to resist."
Here, the second uncle is the one who knows the Devil's Forest best, and the weight of his words has naturally increased.
Since the second uncle said that the soil soaked in water will be very sticky, it is estimated that it is in the lightest state. In this devil forest, what is impossible.
Everyone's faces were also covered with dark clouds. The third young master and the others all grew up here, and they have also encountered light rain. That kind of danger is more terrifying than being besieged by wolves. Besides, they have long been used to this place mountain road, so they naturally walked faster.
No one was in the mood to speak, and they all consciously quickened their steps, even though Fang Yetong felt that his legs were about to break.
Soon they arrived at a fork in the road. The straight main road was their current position. There were three roads ahead. Everyone turned their attention to the second uncle, hoping that he could make a decision.
The second uncle had never encountered such a road in the Devil's Forest, and he was a little embarrassed. The brothers of Beston suggested that everyone walk three separate roads and make marks along the road. There is always a right road.
This decision was quickly rejected by the second uncle, "I said big brother, if we separate, more than half of us will be in danger, what kind of wicked advice are you making?" The second uncle was very upset, thinking that the brothers knew everything Too selfish.
But which way is the right way to go?The second uncle didn't dare to make a decision easily.
"Let's go in the middle." Lu Xiangxiang said, and then bravely walked in the front. Everyone looked at each other, wondering which role Lu Xiangxiang was acting.
After walking out of the trail, the road became flatter, and Lin Xiang approached, "Lu Xiangxiang, why did you choose the middle road?"
Lu Xiangxiang smiled mysteriously, "I told you, don't laugh at me," Lu Xiangxiang repeatedly told Lin Xiang before continuing, "I just see that the fork is connected to the main road, as if it came from one point. Ray, Qin Shihuang wanted to live forever, so of course he believed in ghosts and gods, and in ancient times, didn’t they all say that they were divided into three realms, that is, gods, humans, and demons. No matter how you count, human beings are the second child, not the middle or the two sides? "
"In the middle, second child, ahem..." Lin Xiang cleared his throat, and an evil thought flashed through his mind, "That's all you think?" Lin Xiang asked in disbelief.
"That's right, it's that simple." Lu Xiangxiang raised his face and smiled at Lin Xiang. Lin Xiang felt his face turn red, and silently stepped aside, continuing to go evil.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiangxiang followed him, and hugged one of his arms generously. The soft body of the woman pressed against Lin Xiang. Lin Xiang felt the temperature of the skin, and felt something was wrong all over his body.
However, Lu Xiangxiang didn't seem to notice, "Lin Xiang, tell me, what will we encounter next?"
Lin Xiang didn't listen at all to what Lu Xiangxiang said. Although he had never had a girlfriend, as a developing young man, he had learned to have a "thumping" heartbeat from contact with the opposite sex, and at the same time his whole body was hot and his cheeks were flushed.
Seeing that Lin Xiang didn't answer her, Lu Xiangxiang looked up.
Lin Xiang's face was flushed red, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead. Lu Xiangxiang exclaimed, "Lin Xiang, are you sick?" Before he finished speaking, he put his hand on Lin Xiang's forehead to measure it for him. Temperature up.
Lin Xiang only felt a burst of feminine fragrance pouring into his nose, and then he was in a trance. He became nervous and realized his overreaction.
"Well, I'm fine." Lin Xiang pulled down Lu Xiangxiang's hand, raised his eyes, and met Lu Xiangxiang's serious eyes, and his slightly opened cherry red mouth.
Lin Xiang hurriedly turned his face away from looking at Lu Xiangxiang, his heart jumped wildly for a while, could it be that he started to like Lu Xiangxiang?Lin Xiang was confused.
No, I should like Chen Yuanyuan, that gentle girl is still taking care of her seriously ill mother in the hospital right now.
By the way, mother.Lin Xiang scolded himself in a low voice, "Damn it, mother is still on the hospital bed, what am I thinking about?"
Lu Xiangxiang only knew that he was mumbling to himself, but he couldn't hear what he was saying, "Hey, what are you mumbling about? Are you really sick?" Lin Xiang hurriedly shook his head.
"Sick? What's wrong with you? Look at this kid, his eyes are in a trance, his mouth is full of nonsense, his cheeks are flushed, don't think about it, he must be suffering from lovesickness." Huang Hua jumped over and put his arms around Lin Xiang's shoulders, "said , which girl are you thinking about?"
Huang Hua came to rescue him, Lin Xiang was very happy, but the kid's nonsense made Lin Xiang even more flustered, looking at Lu Xiangxiang who had a concerned expression in front of him, Lin Xiang didn't know where to put his hands and feet for a while.
"Lovesickness?" Lu Xiangxiang whispered, then suddenly stared at Lin Xiang, "You like me?"
Hearing Lu Xiangxiang's astonishing quotes, Lin Xiang almost choked to death on his own saliva.
"No, no, don't think about it."
"Then why do you look at me and blush, tell me, how long have you been secretly in love with me?" Lu Xiangxiang probably planned to break the casserole and ask the end, Lin Xiang couldn't laugh or cry, "No, don't think about it."
Seeing Liu Tao swaying in front of him, Lin Xiang felt a chill run down his spine. This guy is not easy to mess with. When everyone was talking about what they wanted most, Liu Tao was talking about Lu Xiangxiang.If he offended him, Lin Xiang felt that he would definitely die without a place to bury him.
Lin Xiang blushed, looked at everyone, and became nervous, thinking of Chen Yuanyuan, but slipped out, "I like Liu Qingfang."
As soon as the words came out, everyone burst into laughter, and Liu Qingfang's cheeks turned red. Lin Xiang felt that he was finished, and everyone in this circle would be offended by him.
After hearing Lin Xiang's words, Lu Xiangxiang walked to the front with a sullen face, while Liu Qingfang pulled the atom and cast a fiery look at Lin Xiang from time to time.
Lin Xiang wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to say it. What he said now could only be regarded as a powerless struggle, or it might be said to be evasion.
Along the way, Lin Xiang felt that he was a mouse caught in the cracks, with Lu Xiangxiang's cold face on one side and Liu Qingfang's fiery eyes on the other, Lin Xiang was in a dilemma like this.
"Look, what's that?" Someone exclaimed, "There seems to be a house over there."
This exclamation saved Lin Xiang from all the embarrassment.
Not far away, there is a classical building located in the mountains. Maybe there are people living there. In the forest, there are enough prey to survive. They can live for a while, but at other times, they still have to move into the forest to live.
But the second uncle said: "This is not where we live. Everyone has seen the situation in the village. Although the village is not worried about food, there is no way to send game outside, so the village has always been poor. What's more, For the villagers, such a building can be regarded as a royal palace, and they can only live in a naturally formed cave in the mountains. Such a house has never existed before, and the ancestors in the forest have never known the Devil Forest There is such a house here."
The second uncle's words made everyone tense up again, the dark clouds became thicker and thicker, and the sadness on the second uncle's face became thicker and thicker.
"Second Uncle, let's go up and take shelter for the time being, otherwise we will have to walk around when it rains." Lu Xiangxiang tugged on Second Uncle's sleeve and said coquettishly.
"That's right, we still have weapons. If anything happens, we won't suffer." Huang Hua carried the Desert Eagle on his shoulders and smiled "hehe".
Everyone thinks this is reasonable. They have guns. If there is any problem, at least it is safe. If it is not good, it will blow up here with a grenade.
After making up their minds, everyone moved towards the house. It would be best if they could meet kind people, shelter from the rain, and food and clothing would not be a problem.
When I got closer, I realized that it looked like a temple. There was an incense burner in front of the door and a ten-year lamp.Some temples like to build a statue of Buddha outside, or put a statue of God on both sides of the gate, but this temple in front of us broke these specifications, and only placed incense burners and ten-year lamps outside the temple.The door is slightly opened.
Entering the lobby, it is even more different from the Buddhist hall in common sense. It is more like an exhibition hall.
This made everyone dumbfounded.
In the lobby, phoenixes are presented in various postures, some are grooming, some are dancing. All the phoenix statues are inlaid with various colored glass, and there are small holes on the top of the wall to refract the light in. The bodies of those phoenixes in different shapes, those phoenixes, illuminated the entire lobby resplendent and resplendent.
"My God, is there a craftsman living here in seclusion? It's really a wonderful creation." Fang Yetong couldn't help but sigh.
"What kind of temple is this? Why are there so many phoenixes placed, and I didn't see a single Buddha statue?"
"It's so beautiful." Tears were already rolling in Lu Xiangxiang's eyes.
"Hey, Lu Xiangxiang, why are you crying?" Liu Qingfang spotted Lu Xiangxiang's tears with sharp eyes, and Lu Xiangxiang hurriedly raised her hand to wipe it, and she touched a warm liquid, "I just feel so touched, those phoenixes seem to be alive Usually, I feel like I'm watching it live in front of my eyes."
Liu Qingfang laughed, "Why are you still a child." While speaking, her eyes were searching for Lin Xiang.Seeing Lin Xiang not far away, "Yeah." Liu Qingfang cheered in a low voice, her cheeks flew red, rubbed her hands behind her, and ran towards Lin Xiang with a small jump, Lu Xiangxiang felt sour all of a sudden. .
Lin Xiang was looking at the statue of the phoenix flying among the clouds, when Liu Qingfang suddenly appeared beside him, Lin Xiang felt very flustered, "Lin Xiang, do you think it looks good? Lu Xiangxiang was crying when he saw it." Liu Qingfang said softly Say.
"Oh." Lin Xiang turned his head and glanced at Lu Xiangxiang, who was staring at him viciously, and was so frightened that he turned his head away and pretended to be looking at Fenghuang.
Seeing Lin Xiang glance at him and then turn his head away, Lu Xiangxiang was secretly upset, but soon began to comfort himself, it's good, a man is talented and a woman is beautiful, and they are in love with each other, why am I jealous here.Thinking of this, Lu Xiangxiang also continued to look at those beautiful phoenixes. All the way down, they were all the beauty of phoenixes, but the last statue seemed to be a record of something.
I saw the phoenix turned his face to one side, with an expression of enduring humiliation, in front of it was a half-kneeling man who cut a gash on phoenix's body with a knife in one hand, and was catching phoenix's blood with the other hand.
This scene made everyone guess wildly.
"Why is this scene so familiar? Fang Yetong, do you still remember the story you told us?" Lin Xiang asked doubtfully.
"What story?" Fang Yetong was obviously puzzled.
"Sou Shenlu, on the night of Lu Xiangxiang's birthday, you told us that Xu Fu fought against Fire Phoenix. After a hard fight, he finally defeated Phoenix, and then took Phoenix's blood back, but it's a pity that he hasn't returned yet. Qin Shihuang He is already dead." Lin Xiang reminded.
"Oh, yes, what you said is a bit like that scene," Fang Yetong finally remembered. "However, look at this statue. The phoenix is still brightly feathered, and its head is tilted to one side. If it is forced, it should be angrily staring at the other party." Fang Yetong pulled Lin Xiang over, Raising his fist as if to hit him, Lin Xiang quickly reached out to block it.
"Did you see it?" Fang Yetong turned his head and asked everyone, "Just now I made a gesture to hit Lin Xiang, and his first reaction was to resist. If I stabbed him with a knife, he would definitely run away, or even resist me. You won't just stand here and turn your head away from me, and just obediently let me poke you."
After listening to Fang Yetong's analysis, everyone felt that it made sense, "Then this statue means that Phoenix was not forced, or even acquiesced to Xu Fu's actions?" Huang Hua guessed.
I saw Fang Yetong nodded and continued: "If it is coerced, then there must be soldiers holding up the phoenix, or even binding the phoenix, but the phoenix in this statue is not in any state of being restrained, nor is it Stare angrily at the man who is taking its blood."
Fang Yetong looked at everyone mysteriously, "It is very likely that something happened between Fenghuang and Xu Fu, and some kind of agreement was even reached."
"It's very possible, but then again, what kind of agreement will it be?" Lu Xiangxiang was puzzled.
"Then it's impossible for us to know, but this place may be related to Phoenix, there is a door over there, let's go inside and have a look." Fang Yetong pointed to a red lacquered wooden door next to it.
There was no handle on the door, and it couldn't be pushed. The boss looked at the walls on both sides. The walls were clean and there was nothing unusual. After thinking about it, the boss bent his knuckles and knocked around.
Knowing that the boss wanted to use the method of fighting back to try to see if he could find some mechanism to open the door, he called a few brothers to help.
"Mom and Dad are thoughtful, and find a few people who can fight and be reliable to help me." Lu Xiangxiang felt very grateful in his heart, and felt very excited when he saw the eldest brother and his brothers were very busy.
However, I have read about fighting against each other in novels, and now that I am fighting against him, Lu Xiangxiang is inevitably a little excited.
Just as the boss thought, there was something strange on the wall. There was a floating brick in the lower right corner of the door, which lifted everyone's spirits.
But the brick was close to the base of the wall. The boss pressed it, but he could only push it in about a centimeter each time, and then he couldn't press it anymore. "Brick, come here." The boss shouted.
The hunk's strength is the strongest among the brothers, and he can only do the work that requires strength.
The hunk was half-kneeling on the ground, pushing the brick hard.But his situation is not much better than that of the boss, and he can only press a little more than the boss, so subtle that it is impossible to tell whether it is the boss who presses more or the hunk who presses more.
If you are good at pressing, the strength is always a little bit worse.I can feel another force in the wall in my hands, and that force is not pushing out, but rebounding. When I press the brick, I can feel that there seems to be a compressed spring inside.
"Damn it, I don't believe in this evil anymore." The hunk stood up and kicked the brick wildly with his foot.
Strong men are used to wearing military boots. People who have never been in contact with military boots do not know the strangeness of military boots. Military boots are generally heavy. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to stand being kicked by someone wearing military boots.
At this moment, the hunk is kicking the bricks angrily. He is so angry that his strength will not be weak. The surrounding walls have been kicked to bloom, and some attachments on the surface of the walls have begun to fall off, and the bricks have also been kicked out. A small pit.
"Boom" a loud noise.
Before everyone realized what happened, they had already fallen into a small room, no, it was a prison.
It fell heavily, causing everyone's buttocks to hurt.I saw everyone clutching their waists and buttocks, moaning "Ouch, Ouch".
"Does it hurt?" a voice asked.
"Bullshit, try falling down and see if it hurts." Huang Hua screamed while covering his butt.
"Didn't we all fall, really?" Liu Qingfang was a little dissatisfied, seeing Lin Xiang huddled in a corner without making a sound, she almost crawled over, "Lin Xiang, are you okay?" Liu Qingfang stretched out her hand to shake Shake Lin Xiang.
"I'm stupid, I threw myself." The voice said again, and laughed "hehe".
"Who is laughing there? The fall hurts so much, and you still have the mood to smile. The scholar really admires you." Fang Yetong's facial features were wrinkled in pain.
"Scholar? That means you haven't passed the examination yet, and you still don't pay homage when you see my lord?" The voice became stern.
"Are you out of your mind?" Fang Yetong fell by the iron door of the cell, heard the voice in his ears, turned his face to the outside of the iron door and yelled without thinking.
Turning his face away, Fang Yetong yelled in fright, "Who are you?" Fang Yetong kicked his legs and took a few steps back, ignoring his butt that was about to crack.
Several iron poles staggered horizontally and vertically, with movable gaps in the middle, but iron chains were wound several times around the two adjacent iron poles, and a large lock was hung on them.It's like a prison door.
A man with beard and braids put his face close to the iron gate. Just now, he just stared at Fang Yetong beside the iron gate.
"Bold, you don't know my lord?" Fang Yetong, who was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, saw his bloodshot eyes, felt timid, and his voice began to tremble, "No, I don't know."
After finishing speaking, the man's face turned pale, and he didn't speak for a long time, but just stared at Fang Yetong. After a while, he looked around at the people in the cell, "What about you? You don't even know me in strange clothes?"
"Are you crazy, Uncle? Why do we need to know you?" Lin Xiang thought to himself that this person is really sick, and he wants others to know him for no reason. Hey, I don't know him yet, what's wrong?
"Abbe? Don't mess around with me. I don't know you. Why do you call me Uncle?" That person seemed to be very clear about kinship.
"That's right, you don't know me, why do you want us to know you? I said, who are you, my lord?" Lin Xiang thought it was funny to himself. This person probably escaped from the mental hospital, so Follow his wishes and act with him.
Unexpectedly, the man tossed his hair, stroked the hair on his forehead, and said: "It's easy to say, easy to say, I am Xu Fu, Master Xu, who was ordered by the first emperor to go to the East China Sea to seek the elixir of life." After saying this, The man also clasped his fists and posed.
His crazy words caused everyone to be speechless, Xu Fu, isn't that a figure who disappeared two thousand and hundreds of years ago?If you want them to believe that the person in front of you is Xu Fu who was looking for the elixir of life two thousand and hundreds of years ago, this, isn't this an international joke!Besides, if he was really Xu Fu, he would be a living antique.
"Then Mr. Xu is not going to seek the elixir for Qin Shihuang, what are you doing here?" Lin Xiang rolled his eyes, clasped his fists at the man, and continued to tease, Liu Qingfang looked at Lin Xiang's serious look, and secretly smiled When he got up, Ziyuan saw Liu Qingfang laughing, and couldn't hold it back anymore, so he covered his mouth and smiled secretly.
The lunatic was serious, shook his hand, and said with a sad face: "I have disgraced my mission, the first emperor is dead, the first emperor is dead!!!"
"Hey, is this kid really into the drama?" Fang Yetong asked Lin Xiang in a low voice, Lin Xiang waved his hand to signal him not to speak, after thinking about it, he winked at Fang Yetong, and then pointed at the lunatic.
Fang Yetong quickly understood what he meant, and accompanied Lin Xiang to play with the lunatic. "Master Xu, didn't you drink the Phoenix blood? Could it be that Qin Shihuang is gone, so you can make decisions and take away the master's things?" Fang Yetong sternly shouted.
"Ah..." The lunatic backed away in fright, bumped into the chair behind him, and fell to the ground with him and the chair, "You, who are you, why did you know? Could it be that everyone in the country has known? It will be ruined once." While speaking, the lunatic was already tearing up. "Shi Huang... I am sorry for you..."
After resting for a while, everyone was almost rested. They all fell heavily just now, and they were rejuvenated after the rest.The lunatic was so delirious that he kept crying on the ground. The boss went to check the lock on the iron door, only to find that the lock was not locked at all.
"This lock is not locked." The boss took off the lock and took off the iron chain one by one. "Our eyes are all white, and we have done the decoration." The boss made a bad joke, which provoked everyone stunned.
The lunatic watched everyone come out of the cell one by one, and said, "You finally found out?" I don't know when the lunatic stood up, with a mocking expression on his face, "I thought you would yell for help inside." Woolen cloth."
"Uh, first, we fell too hard, so we went away worrying about the pain, and didn't have time to think about whether the door was really locked. Second, since you didn't intend to lock us, why did you make it look like a cage? Thirdly, the upper door is just a decoration, you obviously want the people who come in to come down here in a flying way instead of walking smoothly, is that right?" Lin Xiang listed them one by one, and the lunatic finished listening. After his words, he nodded and said yes.
"Actually, there is a door above, but you didn't discover it yourself." The lunatic said seriously.
Now everyone was a little confused, obviously only saw one door, and there was no other door.Is this madman playing with them again?
"Where's the door? We've turned around, but we didn't find any door. You're lying again." Lu Xiangxiang pouted.
"Is it because you haven't observed carefully enough?" The lunatic tapped Lu Xiangxiang's forehead, "The walls are so porous, not only for the light to shine in, but also for the light refracted by all the phoenixes to gather on the middle one. , that phoenix is actually a door with a doorknob on it." The last sentence was almost said by the lunatic in a playful voice.
It was only then that Lin Xiang remembered that there was a phoenix in a flying state. There was a fine mark on the glass beside him, and one of its claws was right next to the fine mark.faint! ! !That's the door? ? ?Is it too delicate? ? ?Who would have thought that it was a Daoist sect, with so many statues in the hall, it would be nice to think it was a Bagua formation.
Gossip array!
Lin Xiang's heart skipped a beat, luckily it wasn't some sort of formation, otherwise the whole group of them would be in danger.
"Who the hell are you?" Lin Xiang looked at the lunatic and felt that this person was not simple.
The lunatic stroked his beard and stared angrily, "Boldly, I said that I am Xu Fu, Mr. Xu. You common people have not paid homage to this official. I have not said that I will punish you. How dare you ask who this official is?"
Lin Xiang took a deep breath, this guy seemed to want to continue singing the play, well, let's play with you, "Then may I ask Mr. Xu, what is this place?"
It seems that Lin Xiang's sudden change of attitude made the lunatic feel much more comfortable, "This is the Temple of the Phoenix."
"Phoenix Temple? Why is it here? This is the Devil's Forest." Lin Xiang asked.
"Devil Forest? Is that what you're talking about? Haha, it's clearly just a forest that was slightly remodeled by the First Emperor. At most, it's the back garden of the Hades Palace."
"The back garden of Hades Palace? Do you want to say that most of this place is artificially built?" Everyone was surprised to hear that this place was artificially built.
"Yeah, man-made, what, great? Haha..."
"You said it was artificial, how do you prove it?" Lin Xiang challenged him.
"Proof? I am familiar with everything here. The road map in my heart is more detailed than the map." The lunatic said with a proud expression.
"I'm afraid you've been here for a long time, and you've already figured out everything here!" Huang Hua refused to let go.
"Nonsense. You are an insult to this official. You can kill a soldier, but not humiliate!" The lunatic was almost angry.
Lin Xiang hurriedly avoided the topic, "You said you were Xu Fu, so tell us, Qin Shihuang was suspicious by nature, how did you make Qin Shihuang trust you so much, and let you go find the immortal medicine?"
When Qin Shihuang was mentioned, a sad expression appeared on the madman's face again, but it seemed to sink into the memory soon.
"My family lives on the coast of the East China Sea. There is a legend in my hometown. I have been fascinated by this legend since I was a child, and I believe in this legend from the bottom of my heart. It is not just a legend." Listening to the narration of the madman, everyone seemed to follow him. Travel through the millennium and return to BC.
"In legend, there is a kind of elixir of immortality, which is called 'Thousand Years'. It is said that just smelling it can increase a person's life by a few years." The lunatic grabbed the teacup on the table, held it under his nose and sniffed it. He made an intoxicated expression.
"If you smell it, you can increase your lifespan. If you eat it, you can keep it alive for thousands of years. In those days, the world was divided into several countries, large and small, and there were wars and chaos all the year round. Although I was young, I saw countless deaths. Every time someone dies because of the war, my mother would hold me and cry, and then tell me the story of 'Chitose'.
"I remember my mother told me this story: According to legend, there is a Penglai fairy island in the distant sky. Smelling it can also increase your lifespan. If we mortals can live to sixty, it is considered a long life. If we can live for thousands of years, what will it be like? But ah, if this kind of life is always in chaos, then live less In a few years, I would also like to. Every time my mother said these words, there were tears in her eyes. I knew that she was missing my father who was captured and exiled as a strong man. Although I am young, I will always Straighten up and tell my mother that there will be a day of peace, and when the day is too, I will go find this immortal fruit for my mother.
"Finally, a god-like man appeared. He ruled the world and made the world peaceful. My father never came back, and my mother was getting old.
"The day of peace in the world is the time for me to look for the fairy fruit.
"But what should I use to find the fairy fruit? Just rely on two legs?" The lunatic laughed at himself. "So I studied art with a teacher, and I learned from those who have the prestige. I choose to learn from the people with the prestige, because what the man with the prestige seeks is the way of eternal life. This is of great benefit to me in seeking the fairy fruit." One harm.
"There is no unparalleled road. Just when I came back from my studies and was about to go on the road, the first emperor recruited people with literature and knowledge from all over the world. So I thought, if I climbed to the first emperor, I would have to spend money to find it. Immortal fruit, I thought so, so I did so, I unveiled the notice, and went to see the first emperor, the first emperor cherished talent, and soon I climbed up, and I was qualified to ask for a face-to-face. After the memorial, the first emperor agreed to let me go to see him.
"The majesty of the first emperor was enough to shock everyone. It wasn't until the moment I saw the first emperor that I realized why the world was willing to submit to this man. I lay on the ground and looked at the first emperor. I forgot to make a pilgrimage for a while. I cleared my throat softly, and asked me in a shrill voice why I didn’t salute after seeing His Majesty, I just realized it, and hurriedly lay down on the ground and saluted Shihuang.”
The time was successfully pulled back more than two thousand years by the lunatic.
Long live my emperor, long live, long live.In the main hall, a man bent over the ground and shouted loudly, long live, long live, my emperor, and the father-in-law at the side of the hall smiled and nodded.
The man didn't dare to raise his head. There was a long desk in the hall. The four corners of the desk were engraved with auspicious fetishes. A majestic man buried his head in a pile of memorials. After a long time, he raised his eyes and glanced at the man who was kneeling and worshiping under His Highness, " Flatten your body." He said lightly, and his eyes continued to turn back to the memorial.
The man under His Highness stood up, still bent over and did not dare to straighten up. He raised his eyes slightly, secretly looking at the tall man in the hall, the domineering emperor who ruled the world, Qin Shihuang.
After a long time, Qin Shihuang put down the memorial in his hand and stood up.
The man caught a glimpse of the emperor standing up with his sleeves flung, bending even lower.
"I've seen your memorial. Is there really such a fairy in the world?" Qin Shihuang had the usual indifferent expression of looking down on everything.
"Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing. There is a legend in my hometown, about 'thousand years'..."
"I don't want to hear this." Qin Shihuang picked up a memorial on the table and tapped it with his knuckles, "I have heard of what you said a few years ago, and I know it. It is this kind of thing that transcends the world, the reason why I call together people with lofty ideals from all over the world is not only to make suggestions for the country, but also to stabilize my country for generations to come." Qin Shihuang flicked his sleeves, and his words were full of domineering.
That's right, the man of His Majesty is Xu Fu. This Xu Fu is so shrewd. When Qin Shihuang said this, he could hear it. Qin Shihuang would not be so interested in a legend for no reason. The sentence that the country is stable for thousands of years, Qin Shihuang's thoughts can be regarded as the opposite He, Xu Fu, explained that Qin Shihuang really wanted to match the sentence of pilgrimage, long live long live long live.
Xu Fu smiled secretly in his heart, he stopped playing around, and pointed it out clearly, "I have read it well, and the book indicates that the fairy island is in the Eastern Sea."
While speaking, Xu Fu secretly observed the subtle changes in the expression on Qin Shihuang's face, "My minister talked with his schoolmates when he was a well-rounded scholar. Everyone believed that immortals must hide in deep mountains, dense forests, and on top of cliffs, but my minister I think that the theory of Shan Hai Jing is true."
Qin Shihuang picked up the sword on the side and wiped it, seemingly listening to Xu Fu casually, but he didn't interrupt, obviously, he was listening carefully and secretly planning in his heart.
Seeing that Qin Shihuang didn't seem to be bored, Xu Fu boldly stood up straight and took a step forward, "My mother also talked about the legend of 'Thousand Years' when I was young, but others rarely heard about it. I think it's because Weichen's hometown is on the coast of the East China Sea. For this reason, Weichen once conducted an investigation. The closer his hometown is to the East China Sea, the more widespread the "thousand-year-old" saying is. Therefore, Weichen believes that the fairy must be based on the East China Sea. If I travel along the East Sea, I will surely be able to find the 'Thousand Years' for the first emperor, first emperor, I boldly beseech Your Majesty to allow me to go to sea on behalf of the first emperor to find the elixir of immortality."
Xu Fu knelt down with a "plop", and the sound caused a small echo in the empty hall. Qin Shihuang retracted his sword and glanced at Xu Fu indifferently, but his heart was filled with turmoil because of Xu Fu's words. Is the man in front of him believable?He is also a person who hopes to live forever, will he take this opportunity to let me help him find the elixir?
Xu Fu knew that Qin Shihuang would not easily believe his one-sided words, what's more, he was not a close friend of the first emperor, and it was a great favor to grant him permission to meet him.
Qin Shihuang stood on the top of the hall without speaking, his lips were tightly pursed, Xu Fu started to get scared, he was impulsive, so passionate and indignant, Qin Shihuang might think that he had bad thoughts, this time, Xu Fu knelt on the ground and did not Dare to peek at Qin Shihuang again, beads of sweat began to fall, and Xu Fu felt that the clothes might be wrung out.
After a long time, Qin Shihuang finally opened his mouth, "You are a well-rounded person, pursuing the way of eternal life, do you want to find fairy things?" Before asking, without giving Xu Fu a chance to answer, Qin Shihuang then asked himself, "Oh , Of course, this will be your lifelong ideal, why don't you want to find a fairy thing!!!" The last few words, Qin Shihuang's accent was very heavy, obviously intended for Xu Fu.
Xu Fu hurriedly looked up at Qin Shihuang, eager to express his feelings, "Shihuang is wise, finding immortal objects must be the dream of all well-rounded people, but the meaning is different, depending on whether it is for oneself or for devotees. "
"Dedicated? How do you say that?" Qin Shihuang touched his chin and glanced at the roof.
"The world was once divided up by the little ones, and they became kings on their own, and they raged all the year round. The first emperor destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world. This is the blessing of the people in the world. This is one of them. The country is also the blessing of the world, this is the second, and..." Xu Fu listed a bunch of them as soon as he opened his mouth, and Qin Shihuang carefully considered his words to see if there were any hidden meanings.
As Xu Fu talked, he felt his head was blank. He didn't know what he was talking about or what the consequences would be. He only knew that if he couldn't dispel Qin Shihuang's doubts and get permission, he should be beheaded. up.
After a long list of examples, Xu Fu finally said the concluding remarks, "To sum up, Shihuang is for the gospel of the country and for the devotees."
Qin Shihuang is not the kind of person who listens to slander. If he is the kind of person who likes to be praised so high that he has a little merit, then he may not be able to achieve his great career, so Xu Fu keeps talking about praise, except Consider whether there is a voice-over, Qin Shihuang is basically treating him as a fart, why does he care about that, if it is about his merits, a small person like Xu Fu is not worthy to talk about his behavior.
“那何为意义？人心都为己，这一点寡人深有体会。”秦始皇继续试探徐福的口风。
作为一国之君，若不懂得识人，那必为一方笑谈，更何况，秦始皇这样犀利的人，更是懂得捕风捉影，宁错杀三千也不可放过一人。
自然，秦始皇的作风，徐福也心知肚明，他知道始皇问的话里有话，若是错答哪怕一个字，恐怕等待他的，只能是死无全尸了。但刚刚的话，他也只是随口一说，这下可好，该如何作答才能尽消秦始皇心中的疑虑呢？ !徐福心乱如麻。
最后，徐福决定了，反正横竖都是一死，那就怎么想怎么说好了，与其小心翼翼地讲话，生怕言错一个字，那还不如坦坦荡荡说个痛快，能过了这一劫，他徐福也算是苦尽甘来，日后也不怕秦始皇不信他所言，但倘若不能过这一关，他横竖都是会去阎王爷那里报到，只是早晚的时间问题而已。
秦始皇还在殿堂上等着看这徐福如何作答。
秦始皇看着那个跪在地上的有方之士，也在暗自心想，倘若真的有私心，那就直接拖出去砍了，以除后患，倘若是真心去为寡人求取仙物，那就姑且让他试上一试，看他的神情，还有谈及“千岁”之时，那种坦荡荡的自信，怎么看都不像是装出来的。
徐福第一次觉得自己算是个顶天立地的人物，这是自出生以来的第一次，他顾及不了其他了，索性丢开礼仪，不等秦始皇发话，就径自站起身来讲话。
一旁的公公吓得眼珠都快掉下来了，扯着尖锐的嗓音高声喊起来：“大胆刁民，陛下还没叫你起来呢，谁叫你起来的？你是吃了熊心豹子胆吗？”
公公的声音颤抖着，伸出手，翘着个兰花指，直直地指向徐福。
秦始皇默默地看着这一切，然后挥了挥手说：“无妨，让他讲。”
“是。”公公低着头退到一边。
徐福看了公公一眼，却被公公恶狠狠地瞪了一眼。
“陛下，微臣只是仅凭一颗真心而言，平心而论，人会为自己考虑，这乃是天性，天性所然之物，无论是秉性，还是智慧，这都无妨，因为可以后天克制，或是培养，但人天性中有一物，谓之良心，做人不就是要凭良心吗，如果不懂得尊重自己的良心，那么那个人就没必要去尊敬了，因为不值得，更不配。遵从良心，这就是意义。但是，就请仙物这件事情而言，微臣所言句句凭着良心，天下皆是陛下的，如果我为自己，哄骗了始皇，借助始皇之力，取得仙物，并据为己有，即使我有万条性命，始皇一句话，我这万条性命也都会被始皇夺走，我冒大不敬之罪在始皇面前进谏，如若始皇要赐我一死，徐福万死不辞。”
徐福双手在胸前抱拳，重重地跪了下去，“微臣不是什么大英雄，也秉承怕死的天性，但是，微臣恳请始皇赐死！”
徐福一番慷慨陈词，倒是叫秦始皇愣住了，英雄，秦始皇见多了，但这徐福的确算不得什么英雄。窝囊废，秦始皇也见多了，听说要被砍头，吓得直接出恭的，此类人，也都并不缺乏，但这徐福却直接承认自己是怕死之人。
but.
徐福自己请死。
“请始皇赐死。”就为这一句话，秦始皇对殿下跪在地上的男子，突然有点刮目相看。说不定，他还真的就是真心为寡人去求取仙药的，万一，寡人将他给错杀了，那么选谁去帮寡人求取仙药呢？即使找了其他人，还是会有一个共同的问题，那就是，那个人，会不会对仙药有私心。
此刻，徐福跪在殿下，目光直直地盯住秦始皇。秦始皇还在思考。
秦始皇知道，看一个人是否在说谎，就要盯住他的眼睛，但徐福的眼里，此刻，写满悲壮，一番慷慨赴死的表情，倒也有几分气魄。
“准奏。”
听到这句话，徐福腿都软了，他一下瘫软在地，他看到一旁的公公嘴角泛起一丝微笑，狡黠的，不怀好意的，摆明了是在看戏的，微笑。
这下完了，彻底完了。
这一刻，徐福还真是连死的心都有了，看来，阎王爷已经迫不及待地等着接他去地府了。徐福的眼前一下子浮现地狱的场景，他看到，鬼差拿着叉子叉住鬼魂，旁边是烧得滚烫的油锅，徐福仿佛能看到有烧滚的热油溅了出来，只见，鬼差一用力，叉子上的鬼魂就被扔进了一旁的油锅里，哀嚎尖锐地传出来，震荡着徐福的耳膜，鬼差面无表情，将叉子伸进油锅，不时将鬼魂翻个个儿……
徐福面如土色，全身都僵直了，于是直直地朝着殿堂之上的，高高在上的秦始皇磕了一个头，“谢始皇赐死。”徐福的声音有气无力，已经细若游丝了。
秦始皇正在不解，自己已经答应了他的要求了，他怎么愣在那里呆若木鸡了？ ? ?
这个人的反应还真是奇特，人类之中已算少数了，秦始皇觉得有些好笑，干脆将手搭在桌子上，托着下巴，看着殿堂之下。
突然，徐福动了，但像虚脱了的人一样，在秦始皇的眼里，他就是软软地跌倒在地的，然后，就开口谢恩了，不是谢他恩准徐福去求取仙物，而是恩准徐福去死。
“真是滑稽之人，如同市井小儿一般。”秦始皇哈哈大笑起来，声音浑厚，中气十足，徐福听到秦始皇笑他滑稽，不解地看着秦始皇。
“寡人说准奏，是说准奏你去求取仙物，你求见于寡人，不过就是为了此事，何时你有上奏折求赐死过？倘若你去意已决，那你先补奏一本，容寡人稍后再议，现在，你要去替寡人把事情办好。”秦始皇的笑意愈发浓重，这个徐福，真是有意思。
嗯，这是什么意思？秦始皇不是要他的脑袋？real?
徐福一下从地狱升到天宫，心，也安安全全地放回了肚子里。“始皇万岁万岁万万岁。”徐福忙不迭地跪恩，老太监在一旁气急败坏。
置之死地而后生，这是徐福生平第一次体会，这一次，他才真正懂得了这个词的意思，而并非只是看着书本，仅仅看个表面意思。
“既然，徐爱卿已经胸有成竹之势，那么寡人，也只好成人之美了。徐爱卿上前听封。”这架势，分明就是在说，好的，寡人已经批准你的申请了，现在，你可以去做你申请的事情了，但是，这是你的任务，你要像当初蔺相如完璧归赵一样，也要给寡人信守承诺，把你今天在殿堂之上说的话，踏踏实实地给寡人实践喽，如果，你做得不好的话，那么，你就是在欺骗寡人，而欺骗寡人，就是欺君之罪，那么，寡人就可以堂堂正正地去治罪于你，甚至是株连九族。
但是，秦始皇显然是不可以将这番话，原原本本地搬到台面上来说，所以，他选择了一种比较隐晦的，但是又比较有分量的话，在不自觉中，将这徐福的地位提高，大张旗鼓，昭告天下，这徐福，就是寡人认命的，你们给我认清楚了，万一，哪天出了什么岔子，你们就给我抓这个人，光明正大的，说不定，寡人一高兴，还挂上个悬赏，让江湖中人都不会去藏匿你徐福。
因为寡人昭告天下了，你去找的，是要献给寡人的，能让寡人长生不死的仙物，如果，你老老实实回来的话，那么，你的安全，绝对有保障，谁敢跟我秦始皇过不去，是不是？
但是呢，如果，你跑走了，你带着的仙物，即使是在江湖之中，也必定会引起一阵血雨腥风，我秦始皇不去找你，江湖上大把的人也都会去追杀你，你说，是不是这个道理！
所以，秦始皇这话说得有水平，任谁听了，都只会觉得，是这徐福非要自动请缨不可。而秦始皇也很大仁大义，还特地给你徐福个封号，把你徐福加官进爵，这可是你几辈子修来的福分。
徐福自然能听出来秦始皇的画外之音。
因此，徐福也捏了一把冷汗。
看来，找到仙岛，求得仙物之后，一定是要回来一趟的，不过，现在的话，我还是能走就走，尽快出发，谁不知道秦始皇生性多疑啊。万一，你秦始皇突然认为，我徐福是在拿仙物哄骗你，是在阿谀奉承，迷惑君王，那还说什么写奏折呈上去啊，你秦始皇要杀一个人，哪里会真的给时间别人提出抗议啊，如果会给时间别人思考怎么抗议的话，你这天下怎么来的？难不成是因为你凡事都要走程序，别的国君觉得事务烦琐，而你喜欢按部就班地整理这些事情，所以索性都给你了，自己乐得清闲，甚至是特地找死不成，所以，能提前动身也好，自古伴君如伴虎，我还是早点离开是非之地好了。
于是，徐福上前一步，单膝跪地，“微臣在。”此刻，徐福的心里只有一个想法，我还是早点走好了，你秦始皇快点封，爱封什么就封什么，赏赐什么的，我也不稀罕要，我只要有这条命在，这就够了。
这一点上，秦始皇也够老奸巨猾的，他果然只给了个空头衔，再象征性地给了些银两，这也就算是给徐福盘缠了。
不久，徐福就如秦始皇所愿的那样，大张旗鼓地出发了，国内大大小小的城市，都张贴了关于徐福求取仙物的通告，以至于徐福走到哪里，都会被关注，徐福觉得很头疼，这秦始皇摆明了就是阴了他，直白地给他摆了一道，别说他逃走，江湖上的人会追杀他，就是他不逃走，江湖上的人，也都没打算，说是要放过他徐福，有些有方之士，甚至偷偷跟踪起徐福来，不是等着他徐福找到仙物之后杀了他，夺走仙物，就是打算在他凯旋而归的途中，直接跟他抢。
这徐福也不是吃素的，对于去东海寻求仙物的事情，他既然敢跟秦始皇进谏了一年，也就没打算害怕，那些有非分之想的人，也不会从他徐福这里，讨到半点好处。
但是徐福没想到的事情，还是发生了。
跟随徐福出发的队伍之中，有一个人是公公派来的，就是在秦始皇身边的那个太监，对于秦始皇没有诛杀徐福，反倒加官进爵，他心里暗自不爽。
要说他一个阉人，也没什么前途可言了，偏偏他又是小肚鸡肠的人，仗着伺候秦始皇，也就变得目中无人了，当日，徐福在堂上没等秦始皇下令，就自己站了起来，公公对此很是不爽，他徐福只是个小人物，如果不是有方之士，又怎么会出现在皇宫，就算进得了皇宫，也必然是阉人一个，见了他，也应该要作个揖，问一声好，但是，当日秦始皇居然没怪罪他，却还有半分赏识之意。
要说阉人就是阉人，目光短浅，没什么大出息，他自然看不透秦始皇的想法了，擅自揣测圣意，本身就是死罪一条，可他却没有这个意识，只是觉得被煞了面子，要赢回来。
于是，公公派了个人跟着徐福一起去寻找仙物，目的倒不是弄死徐福，要是徐福死在寻仙物的路上，秦始皇怪罪，下令查个水落石出的话，这一顺藤摸瓜，迟早会摸到他这里来，到时候，他不知道会死得有多惨，所以，这一点上，这个公公倒也算精明。
他只是找了个人去从中作梗，顶多就是让徐福寻仙物的路上，多点坎坷，没那么顺利罢了。
偏偏他找来的这个人，脑子似乎不大好使。
徐福与秦始皇一样，认为这仙物必定需要顺海去找，关于“千岁”的传说，又是来自东海之滨，所以，徐福决定从东海出发，顺海去寻求不死仙物。
说公公找来的那个人脑子不好使，就在于这一点，明明都在船上，要出了什么事情，大家那还不是一条绳子上的蚂蚱嘛。但他偏偏就没想出来什么好主意，想不出来好主意，你安安静静待着不行吗？你想到好主意再说不行吗？可这个人，偏偏就不是乐于闲着的那一号人。
就在徐福跟船出行半个月的一天晚上，这个人想出了一个办法，那就是在船上凿个洞。
你说，这不是摆明了就是找死嘛。
但是这个人可不是这么想的，人家想得还挺美的。
他觉得，已经行驶了那么远了，应该也快碰到岸边了吧，如果，洞凿小一点，水流慢慢地流进来，等快到岸边的时候，船底也就不堪一击了，然后，他就趁机再把船底砸破，他懂得水性，游到岸边肯定不成问题，倒是徐福，必然是要受一点苦头的。
想到这里，这个人“嘿嘿”贼笑了，于是，在一个月高风黑的晚上，他就在船底凿了个小洞。
说他笨，他又不是太蠢，船底有个小房间是放杂物的，平日根本不会有人去，因为没有有杂物堆到里面，更没有什么必需品放在那个杂物间，即使被发现了，也可以说是杂物间年久失修，这样一来，责任也可以推得一干二净了。
所以，他选择的，正是这个杂物间，这里，是他下手最好的地方。
显然，他并不知道海水的冲击力会有多大，做完一切之后，他高高兴兴地回去船舱准备睡觉。
临铺的人睡得迷迷糊糊见他回来，模模糊糊地问道，“大半夜的，你怎么还不睡觉啊？”
他吓了一跳，然后笑着回答，“我起夜去了。”说完脱了衣服躺到床上，开始睡觉了。只听临铺的“嗯”了一声算是回答，然后翻了个身，继续睡觉了。
第二天一早，徐福被将士的惊恐声吵醒，有人慌慌张张地跑进来传报，“徐大人，不好了，船漏水了，看样子会沉的。”将士的脸上满是慌张。
徐福一听这话，心里也着急了，在海上，船是必需的交通用具，按道理说，秦始皇是肯定不会给他一艘破旧的船，再说了，上船之前，他还亲自检查了一番，确定没有问题，他才上的船。
“不要慌张，我去看看。”徐福故作镇定。
将士见徐福并不着急，于是也没有那么慌张了，赶忙在前面带路，经过海水的冲刷，船底已经有了一个大洞，海水正迫不及待地往船里挤。
“大家不要慌张，传令下去，大家拿出所有可以舀水的东西，将士们分为两队，一队轮流将水往船外舀，另外一队，赶紧去看看船上有什么比较重的东西，能不要的，就都丢下去吧，这样的话，船起码还可以再撑一段时间，如果船够轻的话，说不定还是有希望漂在水面上的。”
徐福显得很镇定，连声音都显得中气十足，徐福虽然没带过兵，但在危机情况下，作为这群人里，官职最大的那一个，如果都开始慌张的话，将士们也只会更加慌张而已。果然，大家见徐福一点都不着急，心里也踏实了，自觉分成两队，一队舀水，一队将不需要的，或是比较重的物品，一件，一件的，往船外丢。
在这个时候，大家都十分的团结，没有人发出抗议，也没有人提出恐慌的言辞，大家的脸上也不见悲壮的表情，他们是勇猛的将士，在战场上杀敌，眼都不会眨一下的，更何况，面前的战争，是在为自己的生命而战，他们将最勇猛的一面拿了出来。
徐福还穿着内衣，刚刚他都没来得及更衣就跑了出来，现在，见大家的情绪都稳定下来了，徐福借口回去换衣服，然后转身回船舱了。
其实，徐福心里比谁都害怕，他第一感觉下做的决定，有没有用姑且不说，他并不识水性，如果掉进海里，谁会管他呢，大家都只会作鸟兽散，自古人心就是如此，如果他的决定不管用，他也只能是必死无疑。
还好，老天并没有打算那么快就让徐福灭亡，不远处，一片海岸出现在大家的眼里，此刻，这不是海岸，是生机，大家都拼了命地往船外舀水。
船上的东西几乎都丢空了，除了一些口粮，还有淡水。
丢完船上的重物，那一队将士也自觉地加入了舀水的队伍，此刻，他们不分彼此，也没有说做完自己的工作，就对其他人眼不见为净了。
在就要接近海岸的时候，船还是令大家失望地被海水瓦解了，他们以人力舀水的速度，实在是抵不过汹涌而来的海水。
“徐大人，快逃吧，船快要散了。”有人好心地提醒徐福。
徐福有一种悲壮的感觉，站在甲板上，看着所有恐慌着的同胞，“我徐福对不起大家，在这里，希望大家受我徐福一拜。”说着，徐福就“扑通”一声跪下去了，然后朝着大家重重地磕了个响头。
“徐大人，不要这样，我们受不起。”有人的眼圈开始红了，也有人上前扶起徐福。
徐福的眼里也噙住了泪水，“如果不是要跟我徐福出来寻找仙物，大家此刻应该是在家中，过着平静的生活，你们有些人，说不定上面尚有高寿老人，有些人，才娶贤妻，还有些人，已经过上了儿女绕膝的生活，始皇一统天下，乃是百姓之福，天下已然太平，你们本该在家享受太平盛世，但现在，你们却要跟我徐福一并遇险，是我徐福对不起大家，我不能对着大家豪言壮语，不能拍着胸脯对大家保证什么，只能求跟阎王报到之后，大家能聚在一起，一起过奈何桥，饮孟婆汤。如果有兄弟识得水性，那么你们赶紧逃吧，岸，就在那边，尽力游过去，那是你们生的希望啊！”
这番话，徐福掏心掏肺，全是真心所言。俗话说了，人之将死，其言也善。徐福眼含热泪，将士们也都没好到哪里去，全被徐福的一番话打动了，没有一个人跳下海去顾着自己逃生。
徐福再次跪了下去，眼泪夺眶而出，此刻，他将眼神望向远方的海面，等待着船在海水的冲击里四分五裂，将他狠狠地抛向半空，然后坠入海中，万劫不复。
船开始下沉，有些将士开始蠢蠢欲动，终于有人行动了。
他们不是顾着自己逃生，而是将之前整理重物抛下船时发现的绳索拿了出来，“来，懂得识水性的人都将绳子绑在自己腰间，将绳子另一头绑在不懂水性的兄弟身上。”不知道是谁带头喊了一声，大家自觉地开始行动，纷纷拿起绳索开始捆绑起来。
“不要，不要啊，这样做，你们谁也逃不掉。”徐福大惊失色，这样愚蠢的办法，却是此刻他们那些，不愿抛下没有半点生机的兄弟的真挚的心。
没有人理会徐福，他们还是固执地这么做了，徐福慌忙跑上去想要阻止，却被两个将士架住，然后有人将绳索绑在他的身上。
徐福哭得一把鼻涕一把眼泪，这份恩情，他徐福这辈子都还不起。
徐福心里很清楚，在水中，会水的人最怕的就是去救不会水性的人，因为恐惧，不会水性的人，会死死地抓住，甚至抱住会水性的人，以此保住自己微薄的一点安全感。那些会水性的将士，明明知道会发生这样的危险，却还是大无私的，愿意将自己的生机，分一半给不会水性的兄弟。
“兄弟们，船马上就要被淹没了，来吧，我们出发，彼岸就在那里，冲啊。”有人高声喊着，徐福只看到阳光耀进自己的眼眸，自己的身躯，就立马被海水亲热地包围了。
海水从鼻子、从口中、从耳朵灌进体内，徐福感觉自己像快要死的人一般，努力张大口，剧烈地呼吸，但是，海水多过了空气，每呼吸一口，胸口都是刀割一般的疼痛，徐福想解开身上的绳索，不想白白再多牺牲一个兄弟，但是，他有心无力，那些将士害怕他反抗，拒绝他们的好意，将徐福的手、脚都给捆绑了。
也不知道过了多久，徐福听到有人在喊自己，他张开眼睛，看到将他绑在自己身上的将士，他的身边有耀眼的光亮，“是到地狱了吗？”徐福听到自己微弱的声音。
“不是啊将军，我们到岸上了，我们成功了。”将士的声音透着喜悦，还有一丝劫后余生的兴奋。
“你骗我，你一定是在哄我开心。”徐福咳嗽了几声。
“将军，不信你自己看。”
徐福被扶着坐起来了，他看了看四周，海岸上，到处都是将士们的身影，有些还在昏迷，有些已经清醒了，在休息，还有一些，围在自己身边，带着笑容看着自己，徐福认为，这是自己这辈子见到最美的微笑了，不由得泪雨滂沱，这个赌，将士们赌得太大了。
休息好之后，徐福恢复了力气，将士们也都恢复得差不多了，点一点人数，还是牺牲了将近一半的将士，秦始皇只点了一千精兵给他，现在，得到生机的，加上他徐福，也只有五百三十一个。
徐福在海边站了良久，在心里默默为牺牲的将士默哀，男儿愿战死沙场，他们这样无谓的牺牲，徐福替他们感到不值得。
整理好情绪，徐福带领剩下的将士去海岸巡查，看能不能找到村庄，走了不久，就发现一小片渔村，村里的人没见过外来人，都觉得新鲜，他们并不害
