Liu Bowen's words suddenly aroused Li Yu's curiosity.
The sudden decline of the Ming Dynasty and the collective death of the entrepreneurial generation have always been a mystery.
Li Yu wanted to know what was going on in this time and space.
Liu Bowen sighed and said: "This starts with the Battle of Chaohu. Do you know Chen Youliang?"
Li Yu nodded and said: "Chen Youliang... is a person, but it's a pity that he met Ming Taizu."
"He only has the word ruthless. Although his power is not small, he still can't be compared with Taizu." Liu Bowen talked about his old master and did not hesitate to praise him. It was rumored that they were at odds with each other and that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill him several times.
He didn't know if it was true.
Li Yu did not speak and continued to listen to his story. Liu Bowen said: "In the Battle of Chaohu, Taizu defeated Chen Youliang, the most powerful man at the time, and got a rare treasure under his pillow in his palace."
Li Yu's eyes gradually brightened. He had this natural reaction when he heard the treasure.
In fact, he doesn't need those things very much now...
However, it is difficult to change habits after all.
Liu Bowen did not notice the change in Li Yu. He was immersed in the past, and his expression was a little more excited.
Perhaps it was the eventful years back then that were still fresh in his memory.
"Chen Youliang placed the treasure under the pillow, and installed a layer of mechanisms and a flame crystal box, but it still couldn't be concealed. When a group of us entered, there was a faint halo all over the room."
"Later everyone found out that it was the missing corner of the Human Emperor Seal."
Li Yu suddenly realized that when it was rumored that the Emperor's Seal was in the hands of the Han Emperor, Comrade Wang Mang rebelled.
Wang Mang broke into the palace of the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun and asked for the imperial seal. Wang Zhengjun was so angry that he yelled: "You are favored by a big man, but you take the opportunity to seize power. You are really worse than a pig!" Then he threw the jade seal angrily, and a corner of the jade seal was missing.
As a person who came from the fiery era, Comrade Wang Mang probably does not feel any guilt about rebellion. On the contrary, he definitely feels that rebellion is glorious.
But since then, the Human Emperor's Seal has been missing.
Regardless of whether it was Wang Zhengjun who fell or not, it is certain that a corner is missing.
Liu Bowen said: "Actually, this piece was cut off by someone. It must not have been dropped. Thinking about how valuable the human emperor's seal is, it is said that a woman dropped it. Even if it was cut with the Zhuxian Sword, it might not be able to do it.
It’s easy to cut off a piece. What’s more terrible is that this piece is extraordinary, the earth spirit in it has not been removed, which means that this is an undamaged human emperor’s seal!”
"It's no wonder that Chen Youliang, who was not very strong, dared to proclaim himself emperor first. When Taizu got this treasure, he just smiled. Not only did he not proclaim himself emperor, but he was even more determined to build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow down
King, so I tell you, Chen Youliang is too far removed from Taizu!"
"I see."
Li Yu sighed and said: "I don't know who cut this piece off and how it was preserved. I think this senior must not want to see the earth veins completely drained by heaven, so that the Emperor can live up to his former power.
, I can only surrender to heaven and become the emperor. It would be great if I could find him, maybe he can be a strong support."
Now Li Yu only hopes that all the hidden human monks will come forward. In fact, the human monks are really not weak, because at this time when spiritual energy is scarce, those who can cultivate to the realm of Sanxian are all ruthless people with amazing talents.
.
Qualifications can determine the upper limit of a monk, and cannot be compensated by resources.
But they are all very stubborn, and there are only a few people like Lu Dongbin, Chen Tuan, Lin Lingsu, and Zhang Daoling who doesn't know where they stand. Although he is a heavenly master of the Ming Dynasty, he also has a background in heaven.
As for people like Zuo Ci and Ge Hong, they can be trusted and are firmly on the side of the human race.
"Speaking of this, on my way back, I met a Mao Shen who set up an ambush and I killed him."
"Oh?" Liu Bowen didn't dare to neglect and asked, "What's your name?"
Li Yu killed many gods, but killing gods is still very thrilling for mortals. This impression will not change just because Li Yu kills many gods, unless they themselves kill a few.
"Look, this is his wat card. I don't know this guy, but he set up an ambush halfway and used eight stone pillars to form a formation, which almost killed me."
Liu Bowen held up the wat tablet and saw the words on it: Twenty-four of the Lei Department's heavenly kings, Bi Tianjun Huan, urge clouds, help rain, and protect the Dharma.
"It turned out to be him..."
When Li Yu heard that Liu Bowen knew him, he couldn't help asking: "What kind of god is this?"
"This is one of the twenty-four members of the Lei Department who urges clouds, helps rain, and protects the Dharma. It doesn't matter if you kill him, but behind him is the Heavenly Thunder Department."
Li Yu sneered and said: "Whatever it is, if I don't kill these Mao Gods, they won't cause trouble to me?"
Liu Bowen was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's right."
No matter whether Li Yu kills or not, or how many he kills, he will be a thorn in the side of Heaven.
The more you kill, the more likely they will come because of fear.
After all, to them, Li Yu was a golden and great contribution.
It's a pity that they don't understand Li Yu very well.
The barrier between heaven and earth makes people in the world know nothing about heaven and think too highly of them.
In the same way, the gods don't know much about mortals, and they are just arrogant, thinking that the lower world is just a group of ants.
In fact, weren’t there any loose immortals on earth who could kill gods before?
There are many!
It's just that they don't dare.
Even if it is a small god, it cannot be killed by mortals. Killing the small one will attract the big one, and killing the big one will attract the old one. In the end, only one of them dies.
Of course, Li Yu was not worried about this at all, because he had already made up his mind to rebel.
For ordinary people in peacetime, if a county magistrate suddenly appears in front of you, you will be scared to death, although you may be able to beat him to death with one punch. But at that time, the common people may kneel down.
What if it’s time to rebel?
When a county magistrate appears, everyone will definitely scream and kill him.
"You still have to be careful these days."
Li Yu smiled and said nothing. He was careful enough.
It is impossible for him to continue to be wretched, because Li Yu still has to carry the banner of resistance to heaven.
What the mortal world lacks most is courage. He, the person who carries the flag, must be strong enough to break the fear of heaven in the mortal world.
To put it simply, he needs to kill a few more gods and Buddhas...
Li Yu asked: "Now that the situation in the Song Dynasty has stabilized, I see that your husband has also brought out a good apprentice. Don't you want to go to Jinling to have a look? Last time I came back from Jinling, Emperor Ming said that he missed your husband very much."
"Your Highness... He is now Your Majesty." Liu Bowen beamed, and when he thought of Zhu Biao, he did not hide his affection at all.
"I'm not going." Liu Bowen said suddenly.
Li Yu was a little surprised and looked at Liu Bowen, who said calmly: "It's nice to be in this small courtyard. After I go back, I will inevitably think of some things. As people get older, what they fear most is the past."
Li Yu did not continue to persuade him. Everyone has the right to choose, although if this matter had been left to Li Yu, he would have gone back long ago.
This is the uniqueness of people. They have their own emotions and personalities, and therefore they can take different paths, full of infinite possibilities.

Lu'er Lane, Xue Mansion.
At sunset, the lanterns were hung high, and laughter could be heard from time to time in the house.
Li Yu walked to the yard and heard Mrs. Xue teasing Lin Daiyu.
When he entered the room, he saw Lin Daiyu sitting in Mrs. Xue's arms, looking very intimate.
This was a bit beyond Li Yu's expectation. They seemed to get along well.
In fact, Mrs. Xue's natal family still has some grievances with Li Yu, but Mrs. Xue is obviously a traditional woman. When she gets married, she follows her husband and only thinks about her own children.
Seeing Li Yu coming in, Mrs.
"What are brothers Xue Pan busy with?" Li Yu pulled up a chair and asked with a smile after sitting down.
His favorite thing is to come here to eat, because although there are many delicacies in Bianliang, they are not as exquisite as the Xue family.
After all, he has lived in a wealthy family for so long and is used to living a luxurious life.
In Mrs. Xue's arms, Lin Daiyu glanced quietly and found that after Li Yu came in, he sat next to Sister Bao.
She secretly bit her lower lip and rolled her eyes.
Xue Baochai, who was usually very attentive, didn't notice at all. As soon as Li Yu came in, she couldn't move her eyes.
Under the table, Li Yu secretly patted her palm, and two blushes suddenly appeared on Xue Baochai's fair cheeks.
When she is sitting, she likes to hang her hands on her legs. This is the manner of a lady from a well-known family. Li Yu likes to appreciate her subtle movements, which are always full of feminine grace.
Coupled with her round oval face and subtle voice, it makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Xue Baochai asked secretly: "Where have you been?"
"Went to the palace for a visit."
"Going to see Sister Fujin?"
"No, I went to see Mr. Liu."
"oh."
Xue Baochai said "oh" and poured him a glass of wine. Mrs.
"I feel a little uncomfortable and won't eat!"
Lin Daiyu stood up and was about to leave, but Mrs. Xue held her back: "My son, what's wrong? You suddenly feel uncomfortable? Sit down quickly. I'll ask someone to invite your sister Lian'er to come and take a look."
"I'll go find her myself."
After Lin Daiyu finished speaking, she left. Xue Pan happened to open the curtain and come in. She hurriedly avoided it, looked inside in confusion, and asked, "Why is she gone?"
Xue Baochai looked at Li Yu with a bit of resentment in his eyes. Those eyes seemed to be able to talk, asking Li Yu what was going on?
The latter quickly spread his hands to prove his innocence.
Mrs. Xue also understood a little bit. She greeted Xue Pan with a smile, threw a pot on his head and said: "I'm not blaming you, Momoji, I'm waiting for you and I'm not coming. She's hungry."
No food was served, which made Xiao Xing go away."
Xue Pan touched his head and said, "This temper is better for my little sister."
Li Yu found it very interesting, especially Xue Pan's aggrieved expression. After he gained weight, he did not look obese, but was much more pleasing to the eye than before.
Li Yu forgot that his hand was still on Baochai's leg. He felt a little comfortable, so he swayed slightly. He didn't lower his head, so he couldn't control the distance, so he touched a little closer, which was not in the right place.
Xue Baochai trembled all over and couldn't help but snort.
Xue Pan turned around with doubts on his face, and Xue Baochai stood up in desperation.
"What's wrong with you?"
Xue Baochai's heart was pounding, and she was afraid that someone would see the clues. She gritted her teeth and cursed: "It's all your fault. You're so stupid for making people wait for so long! I'm going to see my sister. She likes to be sulky, so don't worry.
Blame us."
After saying that, he seemed to be running away.
Xue Pan was scolded twice for no reason and was stunned.
"I...I..."
Xue Pan was speechless and wanted to defend himself, but all the parties involved left, and the remaining Li Yu and Mrs. Xue ignored him. They couldn't help but feel bored.
"It's so boring!"
"Stop nagging and eat quickly." Li Yu said with a smile.
----
Jinling, Xiaoling.
Zhu Biao looked at the human emperor's seal in his hand and carefully patched up the piece left by his father.
"Father, how great would it be if you came to accept the power of this earth vein?"
Zhu Biao's words were filled with sobs. The eunuchs around him couldn't help but burst into tears, and the palace maids also looked sad.
The only answer he received was a breeze.
The bright moon is like water, spreading on Zhu Yuanzhang's tombstone. Buried inside are him and Empress Xiaocigao Ma.
Zhu Biao was a generous man, and he treated the servants around him the same way.
In this regard, he is better than his father, so he is more popular.
Seeing that the emperor was so sad, the chief eunuch made a gesture and asked the palace eunuchs to retreat.
He himself also slowly retreated.
Zhu Biao didn't realize it. He sighed deeply and began to talk about the current situation of the Ming Dynasty.
From conquering Japan, to sending troops to Liaodong, from purging the officialdom and fighting corruption, to moving the capital to Jinling to punish the wealthy gentry, Zhu Biao talked in great detail. He knew that if his father had a spirit under the spring, he would definitely like to hear it.
At this time, no one noticed that a cluster of dark clouds slowly covered the bright moon.
Slowly, a red smoke enveloped the Xiaoling Mausoleum.
Zhu Biao raised his head, looked at the sky, and moved his nose slightly, as if he smelled the smell of blood.
This smell is very weak, but it is like a gangrene attached to the bone, which cannot be dispersed and lingers around the end of the person's nose.
In front of his eyes, a blood pool suddenly appeared, and a tall and majestic figure stood out from the blood pool.
He was covered in blood, holding a sharp knife in his hand, and his momentum was astonishing. Standing next to him was a female general, whose robe was also stained with blood.
The female general smiled and said: "Brother Chongba, we won again. Daddy will be happy when we go back!"
"What does this mean? Sooner or later I will break into Jinling City!"
Zhu Biao stood up and looked at the scene in front of him. He saw two faces he was very familiar with - his father and his mother.
However, Zhu Biao, who had always been filial and missed his father, was not sad or excited. His eyes were dangerous, with a cold murderous intent.
"What kind of monster dares to blaspheme my father, the queen, and my queen? Are you trying to deceive me!"
