The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Chapter 299 Mirage

When the King of Qin returned to Xianyang, he immediately ordered that no one should spread the news of the war.

Historians were not allowed to record it in the history books, and anyone who violated the rules would be executed along with their entire family.

He secretly ran to his bedroom and opened the magic weapon given to him by the old immortal.

It turned out to be an exquisite wooden box containing a book on good state governance.

Ying Zheng was extremely surprised. He opened the book and read it carefully. The more he read, the more excited he became.

The state governance strategies described in the book are unprecedented yet extremely ingenious.

On the second day, Ying Zheng summoned all the ministers to discuss matters.

In the hall, Ying Zheng said solemnly, "Today I have obtained a good policy for governing the country, and would like to discuss it with you all."

As he spoke, he gestured to Zhao Gao to distribute some of the copied strategies to his ministers.

Li Si was the first to take it and was shocked when he saw that it contained a proposal to establish a county system to strengthen central power.

Feng Jie stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, although this county system is novel, I'm afraid the old nobles will be dissatisfied and it will be difficult to implement."

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, and then Li Si said, "Your Majesty, I think this is a very good plan."

"Now that the disputes among the princes have been resolved, we need strong measures to control the entire country and weaken the power of the old aristocracy."

Everyone was talking about it, some shook their heads in objection, while others seemed to be thinking about it.

Ying Zheng said loudly, "I have made up my mind to try out the county system."

"Furthermore, the book also mentions the standardization of weights and measures."

"I also feel that there is great potential here. This will help to promote the prosperity of our Great Qin's trade."

After hearing this, the ministers had another round of debate. In the end, Ying Zheng rejected all objections and decided to gradually implement the policies in the book.

This wise policy for governing the country, which came from a mysterious source, was like a seed that was about to change the situation of the Qin State and even the entire world.

One morning during the court session, a minister reported that many anti-Qin letters were found among the people.

Especially the books about the heavy casualties caused by the king's attack on Fugui City.

The King of Qin was furious and ordered Meng Tian to arrest the man. Immediately, panic spread throughout the Qin State.

As a result, more than 600 Confucian scholars, folk novelists and former scholars of the Six Kingdoms were arrested.

Zixuan watched Qin Shihuang's act of burning books and burying scholars in the space and couldn't help but feel unfair for the scholars.

At the same time, he also felt that the King of Qin was right and that the story of his rich city must not be passed down to future generations.

In this way, after the governance of the King of Qin, the Qin people's ideological culture and political tendencies became much more stable.

Zixuan and Boyuan practiced diligently in the space every day. When she felt depressed, she would play in the space with Boyuan.

Although the robots are gone, spring, summer, autumn and winter, as well as the mountains, rivers and land are still there.

Moreover, there are countless pavilions, towers and tall buildings in the space.

The space is filled with charming spring scenery, cool and refreshing summer, fruitful autumn, and snowy winter.

Day after day, year after year, Zixuan paid attention to what was happening outside every day.

Fifteen years later, she suddenly couldn't see the outside world anymore. She was so anxious that she yelled in the space:

"God! What's going on? Why can't I see the outside world?"

Then a hollow and long voice came from the air: "Zi Xuan."

"You have been named the Penglai Sea God and can no longer have any contact with the world."

“Only when it’s cloudy, rainy, and foggy can you clear the space and see the outside world.”

"What's different about this space is that ordinary people can now see the scenes in it."

"Maybe it's pavilions and towers, maybe it's mountains and rivers, but their naked eyes can't see you and Bo Yuan."

"You two will enjoy the worship of billions of people for eternity."

"As long as the heaven, earth, sun and moon exist, you and space will not disappear."

Zixuan was extremely disappointed. It seemed that he and Boyuan would be trapped in space forever.

Suddenly she remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Grandpa God."

"When I open the space, is the scene people see called a 'mirage'?"

The ethereal voice came again: "Yes, this word is a new term coined by the world because people don't believe that there is a fairyland in Penglai."

"Because they couldn't explain this vision to the world, they could only describe it as a mirage..."

Zixuan was extremely excited. He never expected that the mirage he saw when he traveled to Penglai Island in his previous life was actually his own space!

Zixuan then asked the Heavens, "Grandfather Heaven, how do I know it's cloudy, rainy, and foggy outside?"

"Zixuan, as soon as you see the mist rising from the sea, you can open the space and enjoy the view outside."

"But it's only in the environment around Penglai Island and can't be seen anywhere else."

"And the opening of the space is time-limited. A maximum of half an hour."

"If you don't close the space after half an hour, it will automatically close."

"Oh, Zixuan, now it dawned on me. I was thinking the mirage disappeared after just a moment of watching it. So that's what happened."

Tiandao asked Zixuan, "Is there anything you don't understand?"

Zixuan shook his head: "No more, thank God!"

There was no response from the sky, and Zixuan knew that the ancestor had passed away. So, the two of them went to the fields hand in hand to pick vegetables and prepare to cook.

Seven days later, Zixuan discovered that fog was slowly rising from the sea, and she knew that she could open the space.

So the two of them came to the beach and she waved her little hand, and the space was slowly opened like a curtain.

The scenery on the coast immediately came into view. The once prosperous and tidy coastline became desolate.

There were overgrown weeds everywhere, and there was no village to be seen for miles.

At this time, several fishing boats rowed to the shore. The fishermen on the boats accidentally saw Zixuan's space and were immediately surprised and delighted.

He fell to his knees on the deck, kowtowed to the sea, and cried out as he knelt:

"Fairyland! Fairyland! I've heard people say there are fairies living on Penglai Island, but I didn't believe it. Now I see it, it's true!"

The people on the other boats also looked over when they heard the shouting.

In the distance, I saw pavilions and towers above the sea, reflected in the clouds and mist, shining with golden light under the reflection of the sunset.

Everyone shouted in shock, "We've seen the fairyland! There really are gods on Penglai Island!"

Then, everyone knelt down and kowtowed with their hands clasped together.

At this moment, Zixuan understood their feelings very well because he had experienced it in his previous life.

Although I didn't kneel down at that time, the shock I felt inside was the same as theirs.

From then on, the story of the existence of immortals on Penglai Island has been passed down through the ages.

Countless people come here because of its fame, wanting to see what Penglai Island, the place where the gods live, looks like.

Thousands of years have passed, and Zixuan Boyuan is still the same. Not only has his appearance not changed, but even his body functions are the same as before.

The twenty-fifth century has arrived.

When Tian Zixuan saw fog rising from the sea again, he immediately opened up the space.

Suddenly I found myself in my previous life, my husband Boyuan and four children sitting on the beach looking at this place excitedly.

Zixuan hurriedly grabbed Boyuan's hand and said excitedly, "Husband! Look! That's our family from our previous life!"

Bo Yuan grinned happily, "Xuan'er! I remembered! Look, I'm still holding the fourth child in my arms."

Then they both shouted at the top of their lungs: "Children! We meet again..."

The hollow and long sound echoed in the space for a long time...
