"Mr. Guanyin, how many days has it been since the pheasant slave left?"
Chang'an City, Li Zheng Hall.
Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was having a banquet. Sitting beside him were the eldest grandson of the empress, Wugou, and two little girls carved in pink and jade.
One is the nine-year-old Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang, and the other is the six-year-old Princess Xincheng, whose nickname is A Yuan.
"It's been one hundred and sixty-eight days, and I don't know how the Pheasant slave eats every day? How is his living situation? Will he get cold in this snowy day..."
Outside the Li Zheng Hall, the snow is falling, the red plum trees are thick, and the year is coming to an end.
Li Shimin asked casually, but unexpectedly received a long series of "nagging" from Changsun Wugou. He gave a helpless smile and drank the wine in his glass in embarrassment.
"Mr. Guanyin, how many times have I told you that the pheasant slave today is no longer the original pheasant slave."
"He will be thirteen years old in the next year. With his level of cultivation, there is probably no one in the entire Tang Dynasty who can match him. Do you still have to worry about him?"
"Besides, doesn't he write back every month? He also sent the latest miracle medicine developed by Master Sun, and you and Chang Le's 'qi disease' has been completely cured."
"This kid, Pheasant Nu, is the most kind-hearted. It's snowing heavily. He wants to go around and see. He is worried that the people in Henan Province will suffer from cold and hunger."
Li Shimin is completely satisfied with Li Zhi's performance in the past six months.
There were not only letters written by Li Zhi himself every month, but also memorials from Wei Zheng that kept coming, as well as news secretly delivered by the "Li Jing Sect".
Go from house to house, ask for help, and personally deliver food and clothing to households without labor.
He even went with Sun Simiao to sit in Luoyang City for consultations, practice medicine and administer medicine. Naturally, he did not take any money from the patients who were really in difficulty, and he actually treated many patients who were on the verge of death.
You know, Li Zhi was a doctor with superb medical skills in his previous life. Now he also studied civil and martial arts. He was accompanied by Sun Simiao, a miraculous doctor, and curing illnesses was a daily routine.
For a time, the reputation of King Li Zhixian of Jin spread around Luoyang, and with the promotion of merchants from south to north, it gradually spread to Henan Province and became famous in the Tang Dynasty.
Especially those people who had been treated by him, or who had received food and clothing from Li Zhi, even offered Li Zhi's longevity tablet at home.
Li Shimin was happy, but his other sons may not be happy.
The palace of Wei King Li Tai had discussed this matter many times. He also wanted to follow Li Zhi's approach. Unfortunately, how could Li Tai, who was delicate and rich, be willing to go to people's homes?
In the end, he decided to make a fuss about literati, which was the only aspect he was good at.
To improve the treatment and social status of literati, all states and counties were called upon to appropriately increase the number and scale of government-run schools within the Tang Dynasty.
It was originally meant for comparison, but it actually promoted the development of culture and education in the Tang Dynasty, which can be regarded as a contribution to the prosperity of the literature of the Tang Dynasty.
"Has His Royal Highness fallen asleep?"
In the East Palace, the guard commander He Gan Chengji came to the prince Li Chengqian's bedroom and asked the guard at the door softly.
"Commander, His Highness the Crown Prince is still having a banquet, but the Crown Prince has already issued an edict. No one is allowed to come in and disturb him. Please see, Commander..."
The two guards at the door looked at each other and said with some embarrassment.
"Okay, this commander also knows your difficulties and will not make things difficult for you. But who is with His Highness the Crown Prince inside? Just now I saw the Crown Princess taking His Highness King Hengshan into the palace."
He Qian Chengji looked in through the crack in the door, feeling very uncomfortable.
Originally, he was the commander of the bodyguard of the crown prince Li Chengqian, and he could be regarded as a "student from the same school". He should have been Li Chengqian's confidant.
However, since that man arrived, he has not been able to stay alone with Li Chengqian for a long time.
Thinking back to the decision made half a year ago, was it right or wrong to do that?
Hegan Chengji shook his head, and finally left helplessly.
…
"His Royal Highness Prince Jin, this is your unique skill. Sister Pingting and I are satisfied if we can learn just a few things, so how can we accept it in its entirety?"
Looking at the complete volume of "Five Animals" in front of him, Qin Huaiyu's eyes shone, but he didn't dare to really reach out and take it.
"Take it, you and Miss Pingting will not be able to find suitable advanced skills for a while after reaching the realm of 'tongshen' in the future."
"This set of 'Five Animals' is no longer the same as before. I don't know how many times better it is. If I can fully practice it, I don't know if I will become a 'celestial being' in the future."
As Li Zhi spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.
After fainting inexplicably, Sun Simiao said that he had lost "one soul and one soul" and slept for five days and five nights. He was actually sent to the dilapidated "Luo Temple" to seek medical treatment.
After waking up, something inexplicably appeared in the sea of consciousness—a green jade talisman.
The jade talisman dances with golden words one after another, and it is unknown how many words have been burned into it.
This is not a simple set of exercises, but more like an encyclopedia of cultivation.
Starting from the acquired realm, all the way to the innate, psychic, golden elixir stage, Yuanying stage, transformation stage, tribulation stage, heavenly immortal, true immortal, mysterious immortal, golden immortal, Taiyi, Daluo, Hunyuan, etc.
Previously, Li Zhi had only seen the names of these realms in the "Emperor's Qi Watching Technique", but now this jade talisman has a detailed introduction and description.
The Jade Talisman also covers everything, such as various well-known magic weapons and weapons since the dawn of time, brief introductions to various well-known exercises, and even the identities and origins of various powerful people, etc. are briefly mentioned.
Li Zhi was very puzzled, where did this jade talisman come from?
Many of the contents in the jade talisman were the same as his own inherent knowledge. Li Zhi just regarded them as a leisurely pastime and imprinted them one by one in his mind with his current photographic memory.
Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a little funny. There are so many things, can they all be true?
The second half of the jade talisman is actually two sets of exercises.
One is called "Cangming Jue", which has nine levels in total. It is actually a top-notch technique that can directly lead to Da Luo?
The second one is called "Heaven and Earth Sword Technique", but it is a set of sword techniques, with a total of ten techniques.
The problem is that Li Zhi in his previous life was also a veteran bookworm. He had read countless books on immortality and Taoism, but he had never seen the names "Cangming Jue" and "Heaven and Earth Sword Jue".
"Heaven and Earth Sword Technique" he did not dare to practice for the time being, so he wrote clearly in the beginning.
"The Heaven and Earth Sword Art, those who have not reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm should not practice it——"
Okay, what kind of "fairyland" does this thing need?
If there really is a "celestial realm", we still don't know whether we are destined to reach that realm or not.
However, the "Cangming Jue" is very suitable to Li Zhi's taste. "Cangming Jue" has nine levels in total, and you can start practicing once you enter the innate realm.
There was this jade talisman of unknown origin in the sea of consciousness, and Li Zhi was not surprised. After all, there was still a strange little gun hanging on his dantian.
After looking inside again, I realized that my meridians, muscles, bones, and soul seemed to be much stronger?
The series of changes made Li Zhi digest it very hard, and he even went into seclusion in the back house for a few days.
In the days that followed, Li Zhi would go around Luoyang every now and then to learn about the sufferings of the victims, or use his identity and convenience to solve some resettlement issues for the victims.
Luoyang is now the largest city in Henan Province. Many people who were affected by the disaster have fled here. According to the local government in Luoyang, they can only set up porridge tubes for a few meals and drinks, and eventually they have to send gifts out of the country.
However, Li Zhi didn't think so, and just ordered the government and army of Luoyang to come forward and build dozens of villages in the east and south of Luoyang City to accommodate the people who fled.
As soon as the news came out, refugees from all over the country flocked in. Li Zhi happened to gather in one place to help them. In the end, Luoyang's subordinates had more than 300,000 people.
Li Zhi spent more time practicing.
Although the jade talisman came from something strange, he didn't think much about it anymore. As long as it could make him stronger, Li Zhi was willing to try it.
In just three months, Li Zhi mastered the first level of "Cangming Jue".
The original liquid black and white energy group in the Dantian is now more solid, and the surface layer has begun to solidify. During high-speed operation, it gradually formed a black and white ball, about the size of a soybean.
What is this, the golden elixir stage?
Li Zhi was a little depressed. Even if he was in the golden elixir stage, how could he have a "Yin Yang elixir" formed in his body?
Li Zhi also discovered a problem. Since practicing the "Cangming Jue", he has been able to absorb the power of the sun.
The light golden sun power penetrates into the body, constantly washing the negative side of the "Yin Yang Pill", while the power of the moonlight at night is constantly nourishing the positive side of the "Yin Yang Pill".
As a result, the growth of this "Yin Yang Pill" has gradually begun to rely on the light of the sun and the moon, and the growth brought by the aura in the air seems to be minimal.
The first-level "Cangming Jue" doubled Li Zhi's strength more than ten times.
And the original booklet of "Five Animals" actually added several pages of text out of thin air after he reached the first level of "Cangming Jue".
In other words, it was the practice of "Cangming Jue" that led to the advancement of his "Breaking the Illusion Golden Eyes", so that he could see the words that he had not been able to find before.
Could it be that this is the complete version of "Five Animals Play"?
After another two months of practice, Li Zhi has reached a new level in the use of "Five Animals", and can now use it against the enemy.
Moreover, every time he performed various animal tricks, Li Zhi's feeling of transforming into another thing became stronger and stronger...
Li Zhi finally saw clearly that Sun Simiao's state was also in the "Golden Elixir stage", and unlike himself who was in the early stage of the Golden Elixir, Sun Simiao had already entered the late stage of the Golden Elixir.
Having made progress in "Five Animals", I naturally cannot forget Sun Simiao, the original donor. Strictly speaking, "Five Animals" originally belonged to him.
Sun Simiao was naturally grateful for his kindness. Although he was a senior and a strong man in the late Jindan period, he did not dare to underestimate Li Zhi, who had a "heavenly leakage body".
The boy who is less than thirteen years old, according to the eldest grandson, is already a "spiritual master" in both civil and martial arts. Now, after practicing hard for half a year, Sun Simiao can't see through Li Zhi's realm at all.
To be precise, in Sun Simiao's eyes, Li Zhi was still just a slightly burly young man.
Qin Huaiyu and Changsun Pingting, as the closest people to Li Zhi, Li Zhi also did not ignore them.
"Cangming Jue" is temporarily inconvenient to be passed on to the outside world, but "Five Animal Plays" can be given to them. Li Zhi originally taught them one play and two plays respectively.
Seeing Li Zhi's generosity, Qin Huaiyu and Changsun Pingting were deeply moved.
In their eyes, this "Five Animals Opera" was Li Zhi's unique skill, and now he was willing to come together and share it with the two of them.
How much favor and trust is this?
"His Royal Highness King Jin, Huaiyu swears here today that he will obey His Highness's orders in this life. If he violates this oath, Huaiyu will not end well -"
Qin Huaiyu couldn't refuse, so he knelt down on one knee, raised his hands high, and took the book recording "Five Animals Show" from Li Zhi.
On the side, the eldest grandson Pingting also had tears in her eyes and was speechless with excitement.
Changsun Pingting understands the importance of follow-up exercises better than Qin Huaiyu. She comes from a famous family and possesses unique skills. She has even heard of fellow students fighting each other over a martial arts secret book.
However, compared with the "Wu Qin Xi" that Li Zhi gave at this moment, it seems that the most profound martial arts in his sect is mediocre in front of the "Wu Qin Xi".
…
In the middle of winter, it snows heavily.
After Li Zhi wandered around the outskirts of Luoyang all day, when it was getting late, the three of them came to the "Luo Temple" next to Luoshui River.
Today's "Luo Temple" is completely different from what it was half a year ago.
Li Zhi was grateful for his adventure in the "Luo Temple" and admired the legendary Luo God. He took advantage of the large number of refugees entering Luoyang and rebuilt this "work-for-relief" method.
Luo Temple".
It is said to be renovated, but in fact it is almost the same as a completely new building.
Today, apart from the land where the "Luo Temple" was originally located, the only thing that has been preserved is the statue of the Goddess of Luo in the "Luo Temple".
After reconstruction, the "Luo Temple" was divided into two courtyards, front and rear.
When you first enter the courtyard, there is still the "Luo Temple" in the middle, which enshrines the statue of the Goddess of Luo. There are additional side halls on the left and right, and the backyard is used for people to live in.
Naturally, it was inconvenient for Li Zhi to live here, so he specially invited a Taoist priest from the Taoist temple in Luoyang and his two little Taoist boys.
It was recommended by Sun Simiao himself, who was also proficient in the art of Qihuang and was well-known around Luoyang.
The plaques of "Luo Temple" and "Luo Temple" were all written by Li Zhi with one stroke of his pen. His elegant "Liu Ti" - perhaps it should be called "Li Ti" from now on - is eye-catching.
Pleasing to the eyes.
Moreover, with the blessing of his golden elixir realm, each word is awe-inspiring and righteous. Hanging there, it can rectify the near and far, and ward off all evils.
In another chapter of "Luo Temple", Li Zhi also specially built a set of courtyards. The small courtyard is not big and has two entrances, each with three or five tile-roofed houses.
With Luoshui as its back, there are pines and bamboos planted in the courtyard, as well as two transplanted red plum trees, which are named "Bi Luo Ju".
It took less than a month to complete, and Li Zhi occasionally came here to stay for a short while, leaving a few guards to take care of it and also take care of the "Luo Temple" nearby.
Today, Li Zhi and the others came to "Biluoju" again. Qin Huaiyu's horse also brought two plump rabbits and two pheasants.
Although in their current state, they don't need this kind of food to satisfy their hunger. After all, they have been like this for many years, but they still can't bear to part with their lust for words.
"Ninth Young Master, please come to the room and wait for a moment. I will prepare the rabbit and pheasant right away——"
After following Li Zhi for more than half a year, Qin Huaiyu not only improved his skills and realm, but also improved his ability to serve food.
On the other hand, the ingenious eldest grandson Pingting could never learn the kitchen tricks. Li Zhi joked that she was a lucky person and did not have to cook by herself.
When I was young, there were bowls, cups and plates, stewed chicken and roasted rabbit, a red clay stove, and fragrant shochu.
"Ninth Young Master, I've been running around all day. Let's have a glass of wine to warm up. Come on, I'd like to pay you a tribute——"
Qin Huaiyu filled a cup for Li Zhi and himself, while the eldest grandson Pingting poured a cup of hot tea and stayed with them on the other side.
When they go out, the three of them don't have so many rules and sit around the table just like friends.
"Hahaha, it's snowing late at night, can I have a drink? People from the mountains and wilds pass by here, I wonder if the owner of this place can let me in and have a drink?——"
