Chapter eight hundred and ninety-six people old pearl yellow
"The situation in the Wu Kingdom is different from ours. Today's Emperor of the Wu Kingdom killed his brother and his father. He came to the throne with an unfair reputation and was unpopular with the people. He was spurned by the literati and officials of the Wu Kingdom. Although he used force to eliminate a wave of
, but the entire Wu Kingdom has experienced huge turmoil." Li Yi looked at Miss Liu Er and said slowly: "Today, more than half of the places in the Wu Kingdom have been separated from the control of the imperial court, including some
There are forces loyal to the former emperor of Wu Kingdom, and there are also bandits who take advantage of the chaos and raise their flags..."
"In short, the current Wu Kingdom is very chaotic, very chaotic..."
"Princess Duanrong, who mysteriously disappeared after the Emperor of Wu State seized power, returned to Wu State a year ago. She was surrounded by several generals who rebelled against the current imperial court, and also gathered a considerable force, while purging
The bandit who occupies the mountain as king is strengthening his own power and confronting the imperial court..."
Li Yi looked into her eyes and said: "You don't have to worry too much. There are many people around your apprentice now. Although it is unlikely to overthrow the entire court, there is still the ability to protect oneself."
"I understand." Miss Liu Er nodded, turned around and walked outside.
"Where are you going?" Li Yi asked hurriedly.
Although she has shown nothing during this year, there is only one precious apprentice that Miss Liu Er has taught her, so how could she not care about her affairs? If she were in Wu Kingdom now, she would have taken Liu Er with her.
The alliance's masters broke into the palace to take the Wu Emperor's dog head.
Miss Liu Er turned around and said, "I'm going to ask Old Man Xu what tricks he taught you two days ago."
Li Yi's expression changed. This was something more dangerous than her breaking into the palace. He walked quickly in front of her and changed the subject: "Ruyi, do you still remember the Taoist priest who followed us back from Qi?"
"Of course I remember." Miss Liu Er glanced at him. She had only met a few grandmasters in total, so how could she forget them.
"I heard Mr. Xu say that the Taoist priest is as old as him, but he looks like he is two generations younger than Mr. Xu. Do you know why?"
Miss Liu Er glanced at her lips and said: "What's the point? Taoist Kungfu focuses on health preservation and has a certain effect of extending life and preserving beauty. The Taoist priest must be practicing top-notch beauty-preserving techniques. I heard my father say before
…”
When she said this, she seemed to be remembering the past, her tone paused, and her face darkened slightly.
He is as old as old man Xu, but looks so young in appearance. Li Yi has been thinking about Yuan Laodao for a long time. Hearing this, his interest was immediately aroused and he hurriedly asked: "What, what did our father say?"
Miss Liu Er came to her senses, glared at him and said, "Who is following your father!"
"What you said is wrong." Li Yi looked at her and explained: "You and Ruyi are sisters, your father is Ruyi's father, I am Ruyi's husband, and Ruyi's father is my father.
, pass it on like this, isn’t your father my father... Besides, we are a family..."
Miss Liu Er did not argue with him, waved her hand to interrupt him, and said: "My father said before..."
"Our father." Li Yi corrected again.
"Before..., our father said before that he had seen a Taoist priest who had practiced the Taoist facial expression skills to the extreme. He had lived for a long time, but he still had the face of a young man until he died. His appearance
It won’t change.”
Speaking of this matter, Miss Liu Er did not take it seriously at all. She changed her words and said: "However, although this kind of kung fu can maintain your appearance, it does not help much in martial arts, and it requires long-term purchase of various precious medicinal materials.
, Not to mention the time and effort it takes, the money spent alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people, it’s just useless martial arts.”
Li Yi said nonchalantly: "We are not ordinary people. It doesn't matter if we spend more money..."
Miss Liu Er frowned and said: "The money is not the point. The point is that time is wasted. It would be better to use it to learn some practical skills."
Li Yi shook his head and said: "You can't say that. Ruyi, you are nineteen years old this year. It is the most youthful time in a woman's life. But can you guarantee that you will still be like this ten or twenty years later?
"
"Not much else to say, let's just say that in a few years, although you will continue to practice Qigong and your figure will not be out of shape, wrinkles will appear on your face, your skin will become saggy and lose its luster. In a few years, you will almost be there.
It's time for people to grow old..."
"You are old and yellow?" Miss Liu Er looked at him, and Li Yi could hear the creaking of the joints of his fists.
"Pretend I didn't say anything." Li Yi turned around and walked away, saying as he walked: "If you think it's useless, forget it, I'll let Ruyi practice and let Xiaohuan practice too. When the time comes, you will be the only one..."
"How about just me?" Miss Liu Er jumped up slightly and appeared in front of Li Yi, asking with a calm expression.
Li Yi walked around him and whispered: "You are the only one... who can experience a complete life as a woman."
As a woman, who doesn’t want to be young and have eternal beauty, but everything has to pay a price. Spending a lot of time practicing Taoist beauty-preserving techniques that are useless will affect the path of martial arts.
…
But if they don't learn, both sister and Xiaohuan can maintain their appearance. After a few years, she will be the only one who will "grow old and yellow"...
Naturally, this is something she absolutely cannot bear.
Miss Liu Er clenched her fists, looked at Li Yi who was about to slip out, and said in a deep voice: "Come back!"
Miss Liu Er looked at him and asked: "Taoist Kungfu has never been taught to outsiders, let alone this top-notch beauty-preserving technique. Yuan Laodao is a master and has a high status in the Taoist sect. Are you sure you can master it?"
Li Yi smiled, looked directly at her, and said: "There is no one in this world that I can't handle..."
…
He can even handle a monk, let alone a Taoist priest.
Although it is said that those people have no desires and only want to cultivate immortality, it does not mean that they really don't care about anything.
A few Taoist books that are not yet available in this world are tantamount to showing them a few more ways to cultivate immortality. They are just a useless secret book. He, the Taoist priest Yuan, would be reluctant to give it to them?
With one more Taoist book, he can impart his many years of experience in practicing this technique to others. With one more book, he will have a consultant on call in the future. One more book...
In order to prevent Miss Liu Er from dying at an early age, Li Yi's hands were sore.
"Take it!"
Throwing two booklets to her, one records the facial-retention technique, and the other records the insights and experiences of Yuan Laodao and his predecessors in practicing this technique, which can help people avoid detours when practicing.
Although Yuan Laodao probably wouldn't give him a fake copy for the sake of Daode Tianzun, it was still necessary to take it to Ruyi and his second uncle for identification first.
After watching Miss Liu Er go to Ruyi's room, he sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve, and opened them one by one to read.
After all, the Cui family couldn't sit still anymore, and this time, they needed to be wary of not only the Cui family, but also the Chu family.
Since returning to the capital, Grand Tutor Chu has spent most of his time behind closed doors, but recently he has frequently visited famous scholars near Kyoto. No one knows what they talked about, but the literati and officials in Kyoto have
There were frequent gatherings, and there were a lot of things going on.
The Chu family finally took action. Even though they had been mentally prepared for this, when things happened, they still felt a little complicated.
Her Royal Highness the Princess already has a high reputation among the officials in the world, but if they are not targeting the Princess...
"Mr. Chu..."
Li Yi crumpled all the papers into a ball and sighed softly.
Miss Liu Er walked out of the room, looked at him and said, "By the way, there is one more thing. I asked you about it, and Old Man Xu said that he didn't teach you any tricks."
"Ah, no?"
There was a look of surprise on Li Yi's face, and he nodded after a moment and said, "Oh, no, no, maybe I remembered it wrong..."
