Chapter 117 Chapter Three

Lao Tzu said that the sharp weapon of the country should not be shown to others.And people's weaknesses should also not be lightly shown to others.For example, Achilles' heel and Samson's hair should be kept secret and not let others know.Regarding the emperor among the people, Han Fei also warned, "The master does not hide his feelings, and does not hide his truth, which will make the ministers have the chance to invade his master."However, Ying Zheng still made a mistake, and he exposed his weak heart to others. When Ying Zheng killed the warlock, ordinary people only saw Ying Zheng's anger and cruelty.But those with great insight, including the silent sky, saw Ying Zheng fall off the altar, revealing his flesh and blood. Behind the killing warlock, his deep fear of death was hidden .

There are mountains, so there are climbers.The weakness is there, so there are attackers. In the thirty-sixth year of Yingzheng, the sky took the lead in making a move, and sacrificed the abnormal celestial phenomenon of Yinghuo Shouxin. Yinghuo refers to Mars. It is named because it is like a fire and its whereabouts are elusive.In the eyes of the ancients, Mars is close to a demon star, which rules drought, hunger, war, death, evildoers and so on. Heart, that is, Scorpio, the heart of the twenty-eight mansions.In the eyes of the ancients, Xinsu is the administrative office of the heavenly king, and also represents the royal family in the world.

Yinghuo generally moves around the zodiac, but occasionally likes to visit other constellations. "Kaiyuan Zhanjing" says, "If Yinghuo enters the list, the country will suffer disaster."And Yinghuo breaks into Xinsu among the columns, that is, Yinghuo keeps his heart and lingers in Xinsu, which is the most dangerous omen, which means that the emperor is about to die and the world will be in chaos. It is conceivable that such a clear and direct omen will deal a heavy blow to Ying Zheng.However, this is not the end of the story. After the unpredictable natural disasters, there are deliberate man-made disasters.

In the eastern county of the empire, a meteorite fell from the sky.I don't know who carved the words "Emperor Shi Died and Divided" on the meteorite.Examining its original intention, it probably wants to achieve such an effect, that is, these words are born in meteorites, and they are prophecies descended from the sky, in order to echo the omen of Yinghuo and guarding one's heart.But helplessly, the method was clumsy, and was soon identified and exposed.Yingzheng was furious when he heard about it, and sent the censor to investigate, but he still couldn't find the perpetrator, so he killed all the residents beside the meteorite and burned the meteorite to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Strange things happen every year, especially this year.In the late autumn, another imperial envoy was traveling at night from Guandong, passing through Huayin Pingshu Road. When he was galloping, he suddenly saw a man in the middle of the road, dressed mysteriously in black, who was motionless.The messenger hurriedly reined in his horse, and when he shouted loudly, there was a gust of cold wind, and there was a faint whimpering sound.The envoy was numb all over, and then looked at the mysterious man, whose face was hidden in the night and could not be seen, and felt even more terrified. The mysterious man took out a piece of jade from his sleeve and said, "For my legacy, Mr. Ji Chi."

The messenger took the jade bi and summoned up his courage to ask, "Who are you? And who is Mr. Jichi?" The mysterious man didn't answer, but turned and left.After walking a few steps, his body was still moving forward, but his head was turned back, his eyes flickered, and he said in a sharp voice, "Zulong will die this year." After saying that, he disappeared into the night and disappeared without a trace. The envoy was out of his wits and rushed to Xianyang to report.Yingzheng heard the news and asked the imperial government to inspect the jade bi, which was exactly the jade bi that he had sunk when he was crossing the river six years ago.Yingzheng was worried, so he called the doctor for questioning.

The doctor said, "He is also a mountain ghost. In the past, King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty lived in Ji, and Lord Gechi was called King Wu. King Wu defeated Shang, and the mountain ghost meant that the emperor was compared with King Zhou of Shang. Now he can also be defeated." The doctor was so outspoken that Ying Zheng would have been furious in the past.However, at this moment, Yingzheng just closed his eyes and sighed, his face was serious, and he said, "Why does Zulong die this year?" The doctor said, "Ancestor, the beginning. Dragon, the image of the emperor. The ancestors and dragons are collectively called, which means the first emperor."

Ying Zheng felt desolate, could it be that he really wouldn't survive this year?After being silent for a long time, he forced himself to smile bitterly and said, "Mountain ghosts only know about one year old things." He also said to the doctor, "You are worrying too much. Those who are ancestors of dragons are the ancestors of human beings, not the first emperor." Although Ying Zheng reluctantly defended himself, a series of natural and man-made disasters finally made him depressed and terrified.Even an atheist, when encountering such a situation, will inevitably feel guilty in his heart, let alone Ying Zheng who believes in ghosts and gods?

The haze and curse of death tortured Ying Zheng until he was exhausted physically and mentally, making it difficult to breathe.In desperation, I can only believe in it, and turn to seek the way to ward off evil and resolve it.So the fortune-teller made fortune-telling, got the hexagrams, and said that it is auspicious to travel and migrate. Yingzheng was already in chaos, so he had no choice but to follow the hexagrams. First, he moved 30,000 families in Beihe Yuzhong, and each of them worshiped a rank of noble, so as to cope with the migration.Then arrange to travel all over the world, in order to meet the travel of migration.

The world is so big, where to swim?The sorcerer said, "There is the spirit of the emperor in the southeast, please let the emperor travel east to tire of it." Therefore, Yingzheng decided to tour the southeast. However, avoiding every possible means, this parade eventually became Ying Zheng's death tour.Unfortunately for the warlocks, there are indeed two people in the southeast of the empire, one is waiting for Ying Zheng, and the other is hiding from Ying Zheng.One has a relationship with Ying Zheng, and the other has a close relationship with Ying Zheng.One destroyed Yingzheng's empire, and the other inherited Yingzheng's empire.One is named Xiang Yu and the other is named Liu Bang.

During Yingzheng's death journey, the supreme power of the empire underwent a paradoxical handover.
