"The pheasant slave has met his father, the emperor, and his mother -"
In terms of mental age, compared with the two people sitting above, Li Zhi is only about ten years younger than them.
Especially the eldest grandson, Queen Wugou, still looks very young even though she has given birth to seven children.
However, after all, he was the one who took away the body of his son, and the other party was an "ancient man" who was at least a thousand years earlier than him. Calling him "Father" and "Mother" would not hurt him much.
The most important thing is, can I still go back?
Since I am destined to stay here, what can I do now that I am just a seven-year-old child?
"Pheasant slave, are you finally willing to leave your 'Lizheng Palace'? Haha, come to Father quickly——"
Knowing that his son's injury was not serious, Li Shimin did not go to the "Lizheng Palace" these days. After all, as the king of a country, he still had many things to do every day.
However, the news from the "Lizheng Palace" will be sent to Li Shimin's desk every day.
"Second brother, I haven't seen you for more than ten days. Pheasant slave seems to be a little stronger. He even seems to have grown a little taller?"
Li Zhi followed his words and walked over, but was pulled beside him by his grandson Wugou.
Although the eldest grandson Wugu is a virtuous queen, he may not be able to treat his children equally.
Her doting on her youngest son was above all other children, and only Li Mingda, known as "Si Zi", could compare with him.
"That's because I heard from the steward of the Imperial Kitchen that Pheasant Slave's food intake is now two or three times what it used to be. I don't know how a little seven-year-old like him got such a big belly."
Ignoring Li Zhi's "embarrassment", the emperor and the empress sang along.
Parents are naturally very happy to see that their son has fully recovered and is even healthier than before.
"The pheasant slave also wanted to get well soon, so that his father and mother would not worry every day, so he took two more bites. Our Tang Dynasty is a huge country, and we can't afford to miss out on our son's mouth, right?"
Seeing his parents in this body so happy, Li Zhi rarely spoke in the tone that a seven-year-old child should have, but he ignored the "self-proclaimed" in front of these two people.
"Haha, the pheasant slave is the most considerate. I heard that Taoist Master Sun taught you a set of 'Five Animals' before he left?"
"Although you can't practice martial arts, with Master Sun's 'Five Animals', your physical condition can be slightly improved. At least you won't be as sick as before."
Li Shimin said to Li Zhi while drinking tea soup, but his eyes glanced at the old eunuch Zhang Anan standing aside.
Zhang Anan stood there without saying a word. When he saw Li Shimin's questioning look, he shook his head without any trace, but nodded inexplicably.
"Yes, Taoist Sun said that his son's health is actually better than before. Although he still cannot practice martial arts, he can certainly practice this set of 'Five Animals'."
Li Zhi knows the energy of his father, not to mention this is a world where everyone can practice, I am afraid this father's energy is even more terrifying.
However, he was cautious and only said that Sun Simiao had taught him a set of "Five Animal Operas", but he did not tell Li Shimin what Sun Simiao said when he taught him "Five Animal Operas".
…
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I have already calculated that your future will be extremely valuable. Although you cannot practice literature and martial arts, you can still illuminate the world."
"But Pindao doesn't know what happened recently. The destiny of King Jin has changed, and even the destiny of His Majesty and the Queen has also changed. Whether this change is good or bad, I am afraid only the future can reveal the answer.
"
"Pindao has two sets of 'Five Animal Plays' in his hands. One is the one that is popular in the world, and the other is passed down from the master's sect. Even Pindao has never fully practiced it. I wonder if Your Highness is interested?"
Sun Simiao stared at Li Zhi in front of him. Although Li Zhi was only seven years old and had lived for nearly a hundred years, Sun Simiao did not treat him as a child.
"Pheasant Nu understands Taoist Master Sun's good intentions, but Pheasant Nu has a 'heavenly leakage body' and is destined to have no chance of practicing cultivation in this life. I'm afraid Pheasant Nu will not be able to accept Taoist Master's magical skills."
Sun Simiao was sincere, but Li Zhi did not dare to accept it.
He would not believe that the other party would give him benefits for no reason, and it seemed to be quite a big benefit.
"Haha, I didn't expect that His Highness would have such scheming and determination at such an age. It really doesn't match the rumors."
Being rejected by a seven-year-old child in person, Sun Simiao did not show any impatience and laughed.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin does not know that of these two sets of 'Five Animals', one can be practiced by everyone and is just for strengthening the body. The other is some kind of body-building technique of the witch clan that has been passed down from generation to generation."
"Pindao thought that maybe it was just a rumor. At least Pindao has never seen anyone practice to great success. However, Pindao really wants His Highness Jin to give it a try, so as to form a good relationship..."
Having said this, Sun Simiao's expression suddenly became serious, and even his voice became much lower when he spoke.
"Why is Taoist Master Sun like this? You must know that I am a 'Heavenly Leaking Body'."
The more Sun Simiao acted like this, the more Li Zhi felt that things here were not simple.
"To be honest, it is precisely because His Highness is a 'Heavenly Leakage Body' and has undergone such changes that I dare to ask you to try it."
"What's more, the energy contained in the 'Heart Protection Pill' in His Highness' body has disappeared? It has only been a few days. You must know that that energy is enough to create a master of 'Dark Energy'."
It turned out that that day in front of Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou, Sun Simiao had to use his only remaining "Heart-Protective Pill" to wake up Li Zhi from the coma.
However, while using it, he also secretly made some tricks to generate excess energy from the "Heart-Protect Pill" and sealed it in Li Zhi's Dantian using the master's secret method.
It is no longer a big secret that Li Zhi has a "heavenly leakage body". He has never practiced any martial arts. Only Sun Simiao dared to do it so confidently and boldly.
Today, he wanted to take away this energy under the pretext of giving Li Zhi a follow-up consultation. Although it only had one-half of the energy of the entire "Heart Protection Pill", it was better than nothing.
Unexpectedly, no matter how Sun Simiao acted, he could not sense the existence of that energy.
What's even weirder is that Sun Simiao can't feel the existence of Li Zhi's meridians and acupuncture points. It seems that this is not a human body?
In other words, have the meridians and acupuncture points in Li Zhi's body been weakened?
This discovery made Dr. Sun, who had been praised by the world for many years, frightened to the point of confusion.
If you encounter something that you can't handle, then use another thing that you can't handle to deal with it. This is what a senior in Sun Simiao's family once warned him.
Therefore, Sun Simiao exposed the incident of "Five Animals".
"Okay, I can promise you. However, I hope that Daozhang Sun can keep both sets of 'Five Animals', but only tell others that you have taught the next set of 'Five Animals', so as to strengthen your body."
At this point, it seems that Li Zhi can only handle it this way, or in other words, he wants to handle it this way.
Li Zhi could vaguely feel that Sun Simiao was curious or even afraid of him?
…
"Pheasant slave, you are seven years old this year. In the past, I always thought that you were still a child. You were born with such a body. It's not a big deal if you can't practice."
"Actually, the 'Tianluo Body' only cannot cultivate internal strength. It is also possible to practice external martial arts. Although it cannot achieve great achievements, if you really master it, your actual combat strength will not be inferior to ordinary 'Hua Jin' masters.
"
Li Shimin said sadly when he saw his son standing in front of him, who was almost catching up with him sitting on the bed.
"Oh, Father, there is a method that only trains the body without cultivating internal strength. How can it be stronger than the master of 'transforming energy'?"
These days, Li Zhi read some books in his room, especially the introduction and common sense about cultivation.
The children of the royal family became enlightened at the age of three or four. A standard otaku like Li Zhi had read half a dozen good books.
Coupled with Li Zhi's knowledge in his previous life, Li Zhi, who studied Chinese medicine and liked to search for mysteries, actually found a lot of so-called folk remedies and ancient prescriptions, and also did some research on ancient Chinese and traditional Chinese characters.
Knowing the true situation in his body, Li Zhi was not very discouraged or discouraged, but he was quite interested in hearing Li Shimin's "abnormal" statement.
"Of course, but such a method is not common, so the general public really doesn't know about it. As far as I know, there are at least three people in the Tang Dynasty who can do it."
In front of his wife and son, Li Shimin actually took some control.
"May I ask my father, who is capable of this?"
Seeing that Li Shimin seemed to be waiting for someone to "compliment" him, Li Zhi didn't mind being the discerning person.
"Haha, the first one is naturally my God of War of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing and Pharmacist Li. However, Senior Brother Yao has been closed down for many years, so it may not be that simple for him to accept a disciple."
"The second one is our dynasty's 'soap-robed general' Yu Chigong. Big Lao Hei's skills have already caught up with Senior Brother Yao. Unfortunately, he is currently guarding Northern Xinjiang and has not returned to Beijing for several years."
Li Shimin said one, shook his head and sighed, "Why are you always here to tease people?"
It is said that there is such a method, but one after another, you personally find excuses to deny it?
"Second brother, judging from your tone, shouldn't there be another one? If appropriate, invite him over to train the pheasant slave."
"I don't require the pheasant slave to have any advanced skills, as long as he is healthy and free from illness and disaster."
"In addition, if he can really practice martial arts, this child may have a more cheerful temperament..."
Of course I feel sorry for my own children, especially children like Li Zhi.
Because of his natural "heavenly leakage body", Li Zhi suffered discrimination and difficulties from others before and after him. Changsun Wugou, his mother, naturally knew some of it.
Unfortunately, as long as this kind of thing cannot change the reality, it cannot completely get Li Zhi out of his predicament.
Now that he heard Li Shimin's words, Changsun Wugou felt as if a fire of hope had been rekindled in his heart.
"Guanyin Maid, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's just this third person. He is still suffering from injuries and is bedridden all year round. The latest diagnosis given by Master Sun is probably only a year or two ago..."
Li Shimin suddenly felt sad. He picked up the tea bowl and wanted to take a sip to hide his sadness, but he didn't notice that there was no tea soup in the bowl.
"Second brother, are you talking about Duke Yi?"
As the queen of a country, Changsun Wugou certainly understands the subtle relationship between Li Shimin and Qin Qiong.
However, it was hard for her to say who was right and who was wrong. Qin Qiong had been semi-retired for many years now, and his title was not as prominent as before. However, the eldest grandson Wugou still naturally called him "Yi Guogong".
Hearing his wife address Qin Qiong like this, Li Shimin could only smile awkwardly. Although he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the person sitting in front of him was his wife.
"Father, my son is willing to go to Duke Yi's mansion for advice——"
Li Zhi, who was listening on the sidelines, heard that the third person the two mentioned was really Qin Qiong, and blurted out impulsively.
Although Li Jing was the God of War of the Tang Dynasty and the person with the highest combat power in the entire Tang Dynasty, in Li Zhi's mind, Qin Qiong was the early Tang warrior general that he admired and admired most.
Qin Qiong's past, the turmoil between Qin Qiong and Li Shimin, and Qin Qiong's final outcome were all very clear in Li Zhi's heart.
Li Zhi thought of Sun Simiao's words. He said that his fate had changed, and that of Li Shimin and Changsun Wuguo had also been changed.
Li Zhi knew very well that it was because he was a time traveler and was considered an "outlier" in this world, especially since this was a world where everyone could practice cultivation.
So, the changes that this "odd number" brought directly or indirectly are probably incalculable.
The more this happened, the more cautious Li Zhi became. He didn't know when he would be "discovered", so he wanted to use every available opportunity to become stronger.
For example, Sun Simiao before, and Qin Qiong just mentioned.
If I get closer to Qin Qiong, will I have a chance to change Qin Qiong's fate?
"Pheasant slave, do you really want to come to Brother Qin's house for advice?"
Although Qin Qiong was left out in the cold, Li Shimin still unconsciously called him "Second Brother Qin" whenever he mentioned Qin Qiong.
As early as when Li Shimin was in his teens, Qin Qiong had saved the lives of his family, and he had snatched it from the hands of Yuwen Chengdu, the "Tianbao General" at that time. Not to mention a narrow escape from death, at least it could be regarded as snatching food from the tiger's mouth.
"Please also ask my father and mother to fulfill my wishes——"
Li Zhi didn't know how to explain to Li Shimin, so he simply knelt down in front of the two empresses. To outsiders, this was a child acting like a spoiled brat to his parents.
"Well, I haven't been to Brother Qin's house for a few years. The Mid-Autumn Festival will be here in a few days. If you are willing, you can go out with me to visit -"
Perhaps because he saw his son's persistence, or perhaps because he wanted to see the second brother Qin who had been ill for many years, Li Shimin actually agreed.
…
"Ananda, what did you mean by that expression just now? I was confused."
Li Zhi went to the "Lizheng Hall" to see Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou for a routine greeting.
After all, he had locked himself in his room for more than ten days, and everyone knew that he was already well. It was really unjustifiable for him to not go to the "Legend Hall".
"Your Majesty, the old slave shook his head at first, saying that His Highness the King of Jin's 'Heavenly Leaking Body' has not changed and it is impossible to practice at all."
"I nodded again because I found that His Highness Prince Jin's physical condition has really improved a lot. Maybe it was Taoist Sun who cast a magical method. Unfortunately, he wandered away again and I didn't have time to ask him what he had done."
"However, this old slave is not too talkative. His Highness, Prince Jin, is developing in a good direction after all. Aren't you happy for him?"
It was also after many years of master-slave relationship that Zhang Ananda had the courage to say something slightly over the top.
Li Shimin nodded. He had a similar feeling, but he was not as advanced as Zhang Ananda and could see more "clearly".
"Ananda, please try your best to be considerate for Pheasant Nu. Just say that Master Sun cured Pheasant Nu's injuries and taught him a set of 'Five Animal Plays' to strengthen his body. As for the rest...
.Better not let anyone know-"
In the end, the two had no choice but to attribute all these changes to Sun Simiao, who had traveled far away...
