At the end of March, Qin Shihuang was parading to Nanjun on the Wuguan Road. Although the weather was exhausted all the way, the weather was still good and occasionally drizzled. The spring scenery along the way was pleasant. Except for the attack on the car driver in Wancheng, the road was calm, which seemed to be different from what Chen Xu said at the beginning.

In early summer of April, the parade arrived at Jiangling, where the Nanjun Government Office was located. After staying for two days, he took a boat down the river and headed towards Changsha County. The famous mountains and county towns along the way were all docked, either one or two days.

There is a big lake between Nanjun and Changsha County, called Yunmeng.

During autumn and winter, water falls on the island, and in spring, water plants and wild flowers flourish like grasslands. However, with the arrival of summer, thunderstorms appear at almost the same time upstream of the four tributaries of Xiangshui, Zishui, Yuanshui and Lishui, causing the river to surge. Therefore, the water pours into Dongting Lake. Under the sweeping water, Yunmengze, which has been calm for several months, has a vast wave of smoke and waves in an instant, forming a vast ocean that stretches for thousands of miles, leaving only an island in the middle of the lake, called Junshan.

On April 15, a huge fleet entered Yunmeng Daze along the river, and then broke through the wind and waves to break through the vast and tumultuous Yunmeng Daze and then continued to go south to Xiangjiang River to Changsha County.

But when the fleet had just arrived near Junshan, the wind suddenly changed. With the gusts of strong winds, the lake surface rolled and turbid waves surging, and it was shaking violently, and it was impossible to continue moving forward. So Qin Shihuang had to order the fleet to stop at the island in the middle of the lake to avoid the wind and waves.

The strong winds and waves came and went quickly. Soon after the fleet stopped, the strong wind stopped and the lake water calmed down. Qin Shihuang ordered the fleet to set sail again, but who knew that just after leaving the island, the strong wind rose again, and the turbid waves were emptying, and the sea was thundering. The big ship suddenly began to shake violently again, and there were faint signs of overturning.

Qin Shihuang had to order the fleet to retreat to dock at the island in the middle of the lake again.

But strangely, as soon as the fleet turns around, the strong wind begins to calm down slowly.

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, this Eastern Tour will inevitably lead to difficulties and obstacles. The storm and thunder are all the power of the wrath of the gods who go against the will of heaven..."

Suddenly, Chen Xu's words rang in Qin Shihuang's mind like a spell.

"The gods are angry, is this the gods are angry?" Qin Shihuang sat on the big ship, looking at the strong wind and waves in front of him, and couldn't help but murmur.

After a moment, he frowned and called the accompanying doctor: "Where is this?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, this place is called Dongting Mountain, and there is a goddess Xiangjun buried. This is inherently a problem!" The accompanying doctor said quickly.

"Is the goddess Xiangjun the one who is Yao, Shun's wife, Ehuang, and Nuying the two concubines?"

"That is, Emperor Shun died in the wilderness of Cangwu when he conquered the country of Sanmiao and was buried in Jiuji Mountain. When the two concubines Ehuang and Niaoying heard that Shun was destroyed, they chased him to Jiuji Mountain and shed tears and sprinkled bamboos. In grief, they jumped into Xiang River and died. Later generations built temples on Dongting Mountain and worshiped as the goddess of Xiangjun, so this mountain is also called Junshan." The doctor replied.

"Your Majesty, Xiangjun is the God of Water, so he is buried on the mountain. I suggest that Your Majesty go to Xiangjun Temple to worship and ask the goddess to calm down the evil waves and not to stop Your Majesty's itinerary!" Jiang Heng, who was standing next to him, reminded.

"I am an emperor, and a mere female concubine dares to claim that she is the God who blocks my way!" Qin Shihuang suddenly became angry after being silent for a moment.

This time he toured the Southeast, his main purpose was to meet Chen Xu, and his biggest wish was to gain immortality.

But the so-called greater hope, the greater the disappointment.

He was nervous when he set out in Xianyang, excited along the way, and excited when he saw Chen Xu at that moment, but all his wishful and eager anticipation was shattered by Chen Xu's few words.

Not only did Chen Xu not have the art of immortality, he also directly told him that there were neither sacred mountains nor immortal medicines overseas.

In the extreme disappointment and anger, he drew his sword and almost killed Chen Xu, but then he came to the sky and thunder to blew the house down to the sky, revealing the Taiyi Divine Monument, and completely smashing his anger to pieces.

Chen Xu is a disciple of the Immortal Family. With the protection of Taiyi Tianzun, he cannot move him, but now a dead concubine of Emperor Shun also wants to stop her journey.

Qin Shihuang, who had been holding it in for a long time and could not vent his anger, finally couldn't hold it in this moment. He waved his sleeves and shouted: "Send an order to conquer 3,000 prisoners nearby, cut off all the trees in this mountain and burn the temple with me. I want to see, how can she stand with me?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please calm down, and we will make arrangements immediately!"

The First Emperor was furious. The officials accompanying him, including Li Si and Wang Ben, felt a chill in his heart. He could only arrange for people to hold the imperial guards token and the prime minister's hand-order to go to several counties near Dongting to quickly mobilize prisoners and civilians.

Fortunately, Dongting was the prosperous place of the old Chu. The fertile land along Dongting Lake was a place of fish and rice. Luoxian, Pingjiang, and Huarong counties were all densely populated. In just one day, all three thousand prisoners were escorted, and then nearby fishermen were recruited to send all three thousand prisoners to Junshan Island with ships.

For a moment, the trees on the small Junshan Island fell like autumn millet grass, and then thick smoke rose into the air, and the Xiang Concubine Temple, which was sacrificed by nearby fishermen, was burned.

Looking at Junshan, which was cut barely and almost burned to white land, Qin Shihuang seemed to be unhappy and ordered people to carve their two seals under the cliff on the east side of Junshan, trying to seal Junshan in the name of an emperor, and then ordered the imperial guards and their entourage to board the ship again.

But when the fleet set sail, the strong wind came as scheduled. Not only that, the sky was dark clouds rolling, the lightning and thundering, and the violent heavy rain poured down. The entire Yunmeng Lake seemed to be flooded by the strong wind and rain. The huge waves were as if a dragon was churning. After a few times, the ship almost overturned and overturned, and the fleet was also dispersed. Qin Shihuang had to order his return to Junshan again to dock.

"Destroying the temple is a great disrespect, which caused the Xiang God to be angry. He also asked His Majesty to rebuild the temple and worship it sincerely, and the evil waves will naturally be calmed down!"

Li Si, Zhao Gao, Wang Ben and the accompanying officials all asked.

In this era when the sayings of gods are the most rampant, it is definitely not a rational behavior for mortals to fight against invisible gods and men. The emperor's behavior is obviously already confused.

Qin Shihuang stood on the bow of the boat and stood on the railing to ponder what was happening in front of him. He couldn't help but take out the letter Chen Xu wrote to him again and unfolded it.

"Your Majesty the First Emperor respectfully said: Although the storm and dangers are in the southeast, your Majesty is the king of heaven, so there is no danger..."

Just when Qin Shihuang saw this, a gust of wind suddenly whistled by, and the letter in his hand was swept away by the wind. He rolled and flew in the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Your Majesty, be careful~" Both Li Si and others and Xuanwu Guard were so scared that their faces were pale.

Qin Shihuang stood at the side of the ship, his hands in the air and grabbed forward. Unfortunately, the gust of wind was too fierce, and he disappeared without a trace without a trace without a trace after he caught anything.

"The god is angry...the god is angry..." Qin Shihuang repeatedly said this sentence, and then his face gradually became extremely depressed, and he seemed to have suddenly become several years older.

"Arranging craftsmen to rebuild the Hunan God Temple, I... want to worship the goddess in person!"

"Yes, Your Majesty is wise!" All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

Before the three thousand prisoners left, they were recruited from nearby craftsmen to direct the construction. Three days later, the construction of the Xiang Shen Temple was completed, and several adjacent temples were completed one after another. Qin Shihuang personally led the accompanying officials, under the leadership of Taibu and Taizhu, presented three animals, fruits, divination, burning incense and worshiping.

And just after their worship, the hazy sky gradually cleared up, and the vast clouds of Yunmeng Lake also calmed down.

Arrived on the ship again, everything was calm, the wind was bright and the sun was bright for thousands of miles, and the fleet moved forward smoothly without any twists and turns.

"Am I really an ordinary mortal?"

Standing at the bow of the boat and looking at the vast blue waves of smoke and water, Qin Shihuang's heart became heavier and heavier, but another voice seemed to be getting clearer and clearer in his ears. A young man in a weird costume was standing in front of him without being humble or arrogant.

"Your Majesty is now in its prime, so why should you strive for illusory immortality? You should have the ambition to sweep the six kingdoms in the past, conquer the Baiyue, the Xiongnu in the south, and the Qiang Yuewusun in the west, expand our territory of the Great Qin ten times and a hundred times, truly become a human emperor who is powerful and powerful, and create a prosperous Qin era with peace and prosperity. Perhaps by then, the immortal saints in the sky will pity His Majesty's contribution..."

In late April, Qin Shihuang toured Changsha County. After staying in Linxiang for two days in the county town, he continued south to Dupangling, which bordered Nanyue. After inspecting the Qin soldiers who were stationed in Dupangling, the tour turned east. After half a month, he arrived at Dayuling, one of the five ridges belonging to Jiujiang County.

Dayu Ridge is the pass closest to the east. From Dayu Ridge is the East Yue, which is the Guangdong and Fujian in later generations. Qin Shihuang inspected Dayu Ridge for ten days, and conducted several deductions and discussions with the garrisons and officials who were stationed in Dayu Ridge. The parade team set out again to Kuaiji County to prepare to head north to Langya.
