Chapter 59: Immortal?
There was a small black disc the size of a fingernail stuck on Shuo's neck. The words he spoke were converted by the small black disc and then came out in a language that Ying Zheng and the others could understand.
"Where is your Wanqu country?"
Ying Zheng asked a question that everyone was concerned about in confusion.
Including netizens, they are all very confused about where this giant lives.
Shuo grinned, not caring at all about exposing some of his secrets, and said in a muffled voice, "My country is still 90,000 miles away from where I see the sunset at Xianchi!"
The ministers were stunned. They couldn't believe what he said and said, "What nonsense!"
Facing the disbelieving looks of the crowd, Shuo just laughed and didn't care.
Whether they believe it or not, what he said is the truth.
Ying Zheng frowned, but did not express his disbelief at first, and began to think.
He had never heard of the other party's strange body shape since he ruled the Qin State. How could a person with such a horrible body shape live there?
If it really came from a very far place, even from the end of the sky, it was not impossible, but of course he did not completely believe it.
Just as they were puzzled, netizens also started discussing it.
"Aliens confirmed!"
"One li in the Qin Dynasty is roughly equivalent to 416 meters. Ninety thousand li is 37,000 kilometers. The circumference of the earth is 40,000 kilometers. Adding the distance of sunset, it must be more than 40,000 kilometers!"
"From the perspective of location, this place cannot possibly be on Earth!"
Someone agreed, "That's right, even in ancient times, 90,000 miles might have been an estimate!"
"Nine is the largest number among the yang numbers, and was considered by the ancients to be the ultimate number. Ninety thousand miles was also considered to be the distance between heaven and earth, just like the Kunpeng in Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou", the distance it soared straight up was ninety thousand miles."
"What the Wanqu people mean is... beyond the distance between heaven and earth, very, very far?"
"The aliens' hints were very clear, no wonder those ministers didn't believe it!"
Although they were surprised by the giant's words, seeing that Shuo was not respectful at all and behaved very casually, some ministers immediately wanted to step forward and reprimand him.
Ying Zheng waved his hand to stop him.
Next, Ying Zheng and Shuo started talking. As they talked, the other party even talked about the things when the world was first created. He described it in great detail, making people feel as if they were there.
Regardless of whether the ministers believed it or not, Ying Zheng's expression was very calm as he listened to the story which was not much different from a myth.
Compared to this story that Shuo spoke casually with a casual expression on his face, and it is unknown whether it is true or not, he might as well believe the story of God creating the world told by the young people of later generations.
Perhaps if there were no people in later generations, he would really be surprised?
At this time, the audience started to complain.
"Is this Shuo kidding me?"
As if to show off his status, or perhaps to arouse fear, the myth told by Shuo is a story about a giant who created the world with his bare hands, like making a clay ball.
"They must have done it on purpose. They don't believe in God at all, and they're fooling people with their claims that giants are shaping the world. It's really despicable!"
"Well, the ones who fabricated the world are giants, and they are also giants. Perfect!"
Netizens made a few sarcastic remarks.
As he spoke, Shuo looked at Ying Zheng, the first emperor, and a look of pride and boasting appeared on his face.
He said, "I can also go to various places without walking. I can fly in the air. Traveling thousands of miles a day is just a piece of cake!"
"Isn't this an immortal?" many ministers exclaimed.
Shuo quietly observed the expressions of the many ministers, and when he saw the disbelief on their faces, he suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction, and the smug look on his face became even stronger.
He stood high above, looking down proudly at the ants below.
In the distant Lunbo boat, Shui and others looked at the scene that was unfolding and couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, the expressions of these natives are so funny!" Shui laughed.
"Isn't this normal?" He suddenly said contemptuously.
However, just as they thought this, when they looked at Ying Zheng, surprise appeared on their faces.
"Why isn't he surprised?"
Shuo was surprised and suspicious.
Even if he didn't believe it, he should at least show some surprise. Why did the ruler He was a little surprised at first, but soon regained his composure, as if he had accepted it?
Not shocked at all?
Shuo and others were very surprised.
Shuo felt that the First Emperor must have been stunned by shock.
He decided to say more, wanting to see an amused expression on the Emperor's face.
While listening to the ministers' surprised whispers, he was in high spirits and continued with a smile, "In our place, we also rely on the sun to keep warm during the day."
"However, at night, even when it is dark, we can rely on something called burning stone to generate heat instead of sunlight."
"The stone is as small as a grain of rice. Just one small grain can illuminate a whole room."
After these words were spoken, there were cries of surprise again, and the faces of the ministers, including the black-armored soldiers, became even more shocked and suspicious.
"Where did this stone come from?" Li Si asked in surprise.
Shuo said casually, "This stone was dug out from our Burning Mountain. The soil and stones there can emit dazzling light. If you break these stones, the shapes of the broken stones are like grains."
The discussions and looks of these ministers made him and Shui and others feel very comfortable.
However, when they turned to the First Emperor, they found that the local official had a thoughtful look on his face and just nodded, as if he was not surprised at all.
How can it be!
They couldn't believe it.
Is there anyone who isn’t surprised to hear these strange statements?
Just look at those ministers and you will know that their reaction is normal!
Shuo didn't believe it and continued, "Not only that, even if we Wanqu people are old, we can still see things beyond the heaven and earth even if we sit at home!"
After saying this, he looked confident and thought to himself, "This should be a shock, right?"
His idea was not wrong, and Ying Zheng was actually a little surprised at this moment.
But the degree of surprise did not meet Shuo's expectations.
Why is this person's reaction so slight?
"Why aren't you surprised?"
Shuo couldn't hold it in any longer and asked Ying Zheng in disbelief.
Ying Zheng's expression was very calm, which aroused the curiosity of netizens.
The next moment, he said confidently, "What you have done, people in my future generations can also do it!"
What you have done, my descendants can also do!
When he said this, his face was full of confidence and pride, as if he was sure that people in later generations would not be weaker than the Wanqu people.
As soon as the words fell, not only Minister Heshuo and others were stunned, but netizens were also stunned and shocked.
What you have done can also be done by people in my future generations!
These words kept echoing in their minds.
Qin Shi Huang was proud of these modern people, and was confident because of them, thinking that they would not be inferior to the Wanqu people...
