"Just by looking like gods, you can get the favor of heaven and earth and the wonders of creation..."
Li Fan suddenly remembered an anecdote from Daxuan's previous dynasty.
The last emperor of the previous dynasty, the Zhengxu Emperor, was originally a rare renaissance king. Since he inherited the throne at the age of sixteen, he has killed powerful officials, suppressed bandits, promoted water conservancy, exempted taxes, and swept away the decline of the dynasty. He is quite like the ancient sages. However, For more than twenty years, the seas and rivers in the world were clear, and prosperity was extremely prosperous. The people had no worries about food and clothing, and praised the emperor's majesty. The ministers begged for their heads and bowed, and wrote books to express the virtues of the emperor.
If he had always been like this, I'm afraid there wouldn't have been anything like the founding emperor Daxuan who changed the world later.
But everything took a turn for the worse when Emperor Zhengxu was thirty-seven years old. The reason was that the love of Emperor Zhengxu's life, Queen Duanmu, died of illness.
After hearing the bad news suddenly, Emperor Zhengxu almost fainted on the spot. Then he was so sad that he ignored the government affairs for several months. If it was just that, with the imperial court and the Dukes around, even if the emperor disappeared, the Dazheng Dynasty would not be able to do anything. There was no big trouble. But perhaps it was because of the impending luck of the Zheng Dynasty that when Emperor Zhengxu revisited the place where he and Queen Duanmu first met, he saw a woman who looked very similar to Queen Duanmu.
Not only the appearance is eighty-nine times similar, but even the expression and tone are exactly the same as the person in the dream.
And younger.
Emperor Zhengxu was shocked and thought it was destined, so he immediately took her back to the palace, made her a noble concubine, and loved her day and night.
In order to please the other party, Emperor Zhengxu did many ridiculous things. He built palaces, built gardens in the palaces, and even dug a small river connecting the outskirts of the imperial city to provide clouds and rain in the river during rising times; he ordered his subordinates to take action among the people Collect rare things for the noble concubine to play with...
The uproar caused uproar in both the government and the public, and the people were filled with resentment. If the ministers dared to dissuade anyone, they would be deposed, or beheaded.
Even so, relying on Emperor Zhengxu's accumulation in the first half of his life, the Dazheng Dynasty would not die suddenly.
But when the imperial concubine gave birth to a son, Emperor Zhengxu didn't know what medicine he took wrongly, and despite the opposition of all the ministers in the court, he wanted to depose the prince. Seeing Emperor Zhengxu's resolute attitude, the prince naturally would not sit still and wait for death, and gathered the crowd to rebel. " Kill the demon concubine and clear the emperor's side." This matter also received support from many wealthy families in Beijing, including the Duanmu family.
After several days of fighting, although the rebellion ended in failure and the prince committed suicide in defeat, the Dazheng Dynasty was also severely weakened.
Emperor Zhengxu has not seen his ministers since then and only cares about enjoying himself.
The situation deteriorated day by day, and finally when Emperor Zhengxu was fifty-six years old, the Forbidden Palace was breached by the rebel army. Emperor Zhengxu and his concubine embraced each other and burned themselves to death.
When later generations of scholars studied this period of history, they all found it puzzling that Emperor Zhengxu was addicted to women and his country perished.
The reason can only be attributed to the fact that Emperor Zhengxu's love for Queen Duanmu has reached an incredible level. Therefore, after Duanmu's death, Emperor Zhengxu completely lost his mind and even changed his mind when he met a similar woman again. You must be a little crazy. You will ruin your great country in one day.
There is nothing new in the world. Similarly, if the clone Xu Bai is favored by heaven and earth just because he looks like Mr. Bai.
Then either Mr. Bai is the incarnation of the Dao of Heaven, or he is crucial to the Xuanhuang Realm.
So much so that the world is always looking forward to the appearance of the next "Mr. Bai". Even to the point where just looking alike can have a special bonus to the affinity with the laws of heaven and earth.
"Mr. Bai..." Everything related to what he had seen in the Fallen Fairyland in the past flashed through his mind, and Xu Bai remained silent.
After a long time, his thoughts calmed down for the time being, and he took out the seventeen-petal Heavenly Spirit Flower that was sealed with a special secret method.
Squinting his eyes slightly, after looking at the many scenes on the petals, a completely different feeling from the original one slowly emerged. It was like looking down from the sky and the earth, quickly passing through the entire Tianling Prefecture. In a trance, you could vaguely see mountains, rivers, and hundreds of creatures.
Pictures of state of affairs, changes in situation, prosperity and decline, etc.
Facing the Tianling Flower, it was like really seeing all the things happening in the world in Tianling Prefecture.
A glimmer of enlightenment quietly passed through Xu Bai's heart. But like snow falling into water, it disappeared without a trace in an instant, making him feel as if he had lost it.
"This feeling is just like when I used the Canghai Pearl to see the changes in the world from the vast perspective of the world. I finally understood the [Shadowless Murderous Intent]."
"The magical powers and spells of monks mostly come from the heaven and earth itself. It is naturally easier to understand from the perspective of heaven and earth."
"However, after all, it is just a flower that records the scenery of heaven and earth, and does not really fit in with heaven and earth. It is not so easy to gain something from it, and it requires a strong understanding. Just like before, I made it with my own hands.
, I have carefully observed it many times, but I still feel that it is just a mere ornamental item.”
"But this is not a problem of flowers, but a problem of people."
"snort."
After fine-tuning the plan in his mind, before Liu San returned, Xu Bai continued to concentrate on observing flowers and enlightening the Tao.
…
Tianyu Prefecture.
After wasting a lot of time, Li Fan and Dongfang Yao finally arrived in Tianyu City, but they did not go to the Huanyu Villa where Li Fan received formation training in the previous life.
Instead, he came to a private room in the Lundao Building in the city.
"Wait a minute, I've already informed Brother Huangfu, he will be here soon." Dongfang Yao sat cross-legged on the ground, tapping his fingers on the floor, and soon a cup of spiritual tea came out.
"You're so damn stingy." Dongfang Yao curled his lips, drank the spirit tea in one gulp, and muttered in a low voice.
Li Fan can be said to be a frequent visitor to Lundao Tower. Knowing that Dongfang Yao is short of money, he can only drink the free spiritual tea.
Smiling slightly, his consciousness came into contact with the control jade tablet in the room.
Not long after, a dark green teapot appeared.
"Brother Dongfang, please!" Li Fan said with a smile.
"Brother, it's so refreshing!" Dongfang Yao suddenly beamed with joy, poured the cup happily, and drank it all in one gulp.
"It's still the most superior [Thousands of Cultivations on the Way], Brother Li is so grand! The last time I drank this level of spiritual tea was when I came back from [Thousand Pages of Books] and couldn't help but celebrate!" Dongfang Yao!
Full of praise.
He shook his head and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was comprehending something.
"Dear Dongfang Yao, you have such a good thing as [Thousands of Cultivations on the Way], but you can enjoy it all to yourself behind my back!" At this moment, a voice that was quite familiar to Li Fan sounded.
A fat monk with a big belly and a very kind face appeared in the room.
The face was pretending to be slightly angry, but in reality there was a hint of a smile at the corner of the mouth.
His gaze passed over Li Fan without any trace, Huangfusong remained calm and looked at Dongfang Yao.
"Brother Huangfu, you came just in time!" Dongfang Yao suddenly opened his eyes, poured a cup of spiritual tea, and threw it over.
