Travel through the heavens

The identity of the time traveler must not be revealed to anyone, so Fang Muye could only make up a plausible lie to explain why he remembered nothing, and at the same time inform Uncle Yu Fu of his current situation and needs.

After hearing what Fang Muye said, Uncle Fu immediately stared at him deeply, his eyes were filled with worry and doubt, but also with a strong love. After a long time, the complex color in Uncle Fu's eyes disappeared, and he slowly said: "I think the master must have been hit by the 'soul loss disease'. This disease may suddenly recover at any time, so the master does not need to worry. Now, I will tell you what I know first. If the master has other questions, please feel free to ask."

Fang Muye felt that Uncle Fu seemed to have some doubts, but under the arrangement of the mysterious power, he was Nangong Yan. Even Uncle Fu could not find any clues, except that he did not remember anything.

Besides, it doesn’t matter what Uncle Fu was thinking at that moment. As long as he is willing to cooperate with me, it’s fine.

In this way, Fang Muye achieved the purpose of taking the risk.

As the conversation with Uncle Fu progressed, Fang Muye finally gained a deeper understanding of the Qin Dynasty he was in.

The Qin army had two elite armies. One was the Border Guard Army, which was stationed at the border all year round to resist the Xiongnu and was commanded by General Meng Tian. The other was the Xianyang Guard Army, which consisted of the Lieutenant Army, the Guard Army, and the Guard Army.

The Zhongwei Army was responsible for guarding Xianyang and was in charge of public security within the city; the Weiwei Army was responsible for guarding inside and outside the Xianyang Palace; the Langwei Army was in charge of the inner court of Xianyang Palace, that is, the area around the palace. They were usually responsible for guarding the gates, and when the First Emperor traveled, they served as the imperial guards and shared the responsibility of guarding the First Emperor's carriage.

The Imperial General Meng Yi commanded the Weiwei Army and the Langwei Army, and under him were three deputy generals, each of whom had his own position. Nangong Yan was one of them. His main responsibility was to assist Meng Yi in guarding the safety of the First Emperor when he traveled, and to do some temporary tasks, such as accompanying Meng Yi to welcome the bride this time.

Normally, as long as the First Emperor did not leave the palace, Nangong Yan did not need to be on duty, which saved Fang Muye a lot of trouble.

Nangong Yan was the only son in the family. He joined the army at the age of seventeen and followed General Meng Tian to fight against the six kingdoms. He made many military achievements. Three years later, when the First Emperor unified the country, he returned to Xianyang and served under Meng Yi. It has been eleven years since then.

Nangong Yan first followed Meng Tian and then Meng Yi. He was a well-deserved direct descendant of the Meng family and was highly regarded by the Meng brothers. In addition, with his status as the deputy general in front of the First Emperor, he was able to thrive in the Xianyang City and had everything going for him. He only had to be wary of Zhao Gao's faction.

This was because many years ago, Zhao Gao committed a serious crime and Meng Yi wanted to execute him according to the law. However, Zhao Gao used his sweet words to persuade Qin Shi Huang to pardon him and reinstate him. Since then, the two had a grudge. Moreover, Zhao Gao was close to Hu Hai, while the brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi were close to Prince Fusu. There were many disagreements between the two sides. Zhao Gao could not do anything to Meng Tian and Meng Yi, so he would always do something to Meng's subordinates to cause trouble for the two brothers.

Fang Muye was not too worried about this. It was the 37th year of his reign, and Qin Shihuang was on the throne for a total of 37 years. In this case, Qin Shihuang would pass away this year. Fang Muye's guess when he first came into this world that "he would not be able to stay for too long and would be buried with him" was correct. As long as he could get through these few months and stay at home in the mansion and do nothing, he would not give Zhao Gao the opportunity to frame and persecute him.

After understanding almost everything and seeing that it was getting late, Fang Muye said, "That's it for today. If I have any questions in the future, I will ask you, Uncle Fu. Also, Uncle Fu, please take the trouble to help me keep an eye out for any strange people selling martial arts techniques. If there are any, I'd be willing to pay a large sum of money to get them."

This is what Fang Muye thought. If he could practice martial arts, it would also increase his chances of success in the battle for the elixir in a few months.

Fu Bo thought for a moment before answering, "My Lord, this may be a little difficult. After the First Emperor unified the country, in order to prevent the remnants of the six kingdoms and the common people from rebelling and causing trouble for the world, he issued an order strictly prohibiting the people from practicing martial arts. He also collected the weapons scattered among the people, melted them all, and cast them into twelve huge golden men. Since then, the martial arts of the people have declined. My Lord wants to seek to buy martial arts skills from the people. I will inquire from various sources, but it may take some time. Please be patient, my Lord."

Fang Muye pretended to be carefree and said with a smile: "If you can find it, that would be the best. If you can't find it, that's fine too."

"Yes! It's getting late. My lord, please go to bed early. I'll take my leave." After saying this, Uncle Fu stood up and said goodbye.

From then on, Fang Muye lived in Nangong Mansion and rarely went out.

The Nangong Mansion is neither big nor small, with two courtyards, front and back. Uncle Fu and several servants live in the front courtyard. Because Nangong Yan has never married and his parents died of illness many years ago, now only Fang Muye lives in the back courtyard.

There is a yard of about 50 to 60 square meters in the backyard. Fang Muye does regular fitness exercises in this yard from sunrise to sunset every day, such as push-ups, sit-ups, skipping rope, squats, etc., to improve his physical fitness.

In addition, because Nangong Yan's weapon is a portable sword, Fang Muye would spend a lot of energy practicing sword. Without any sword techniques to learn, he would repeatedly practice the simple movements of chopping, stabbing, lifting, and blocking until his arms became sore and weak that he could no longer continue. He only wanted to form these movements into muscle memory so that he could use them instinctively against the enemy in the future.

Uncle Fu occasionally saw Fang Muye doing some strange movements, but he didn't ask much. He just prepared enough meat for Fang Muye to replenish his strength every day, and also had medicinal food every few days.

If Fang Muye had not occasionally been invited by his colleagues to go out for small gatherings or visit Meng Yi, I'm afraid no one would have remembered that there was such a person as Nangong Yan in Xianyang City.

Time flies, and more than two months passed. Xianyang City welcomed a guest from afar, Prince Disha.

Prince Disha was sent as an envoy to the Qin Dynasty. Meng Yi took Fang Muye and was ordered to go out of the city to welcome him and bring him to the Zhangtai Palace to meet the First Emperor. Fang Muye had been traveling here for nearly three months and finally met Qin Shihuang. Although he knew that this was a film and television world and the person in front of him was not the real emperor in history, he still felt a sense of substitution.

In the Zhangtai Palace, Prince Disha paid homage to the emperor with state etiquette and presented jewels and beautiful women. The First Emperor was very pleased and asked him to choose one of the beauties in the harem as a reward. As a result, Prince Disha chose Concubine Li.

Concubine Li was extremely beautiful and was quite favored by the First Emperor. Moreover, Concubine Li was of great significance to the relationship between Daqin and Tu'an Kingdom. The First Emperor had to break his promise and ordered the palace painter to paint a picture of Concubine Li with a smile in spring breeze and give it to Prince Disha. At the same time, he rewarded Prince Disha with the Daqin Tianxing gem.

Speaking of the Star Gem, Fang Muye remembered that there was a related description in the movie.

"In the 36th year of the reign of Emperor Qin, Mars was in the heart of the star. A falling star landed in Dongjun and turned into stone. On the stone were carved words that cursed the Emperor Qin. The Emperor Qin killed all the people nearby to conceal the secret of the meteorite."

This is where the Star Gem comes from.

The Tianxing Stone is extraordinary and magical. When people and objects get close to it, they will float up as if they have lost gravity. Qin Shihuang's underground mausoleum was built to be like a heaven because of this. Although it is not explained in the movie, Fang Muye infers that the elixir of immortality should also be closely related to the Tianxing Stone.

Qin Shi Huang was obsessed with the art of immortality. Not only did he make several tours to the east in search of the three islands of Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou where immortals lived, he also ordered alchemists to refine the elixir of immortality. However, after so many years of refining, the elixir was not successful. However, it happened that the elixir was refined after Xingzhui Dongjun got the Tianxing Stone. Fang Muye didn't believe that there was no connection between the two.
