Chapter 156 The Human Emperor and the Godly Prime Minister listened sideways
It is difficult for Huangdi Xuanyuan to forget that noon on a cold spring day somewhere in Nanzhou.
In the slow valley covered by light green, three streams of light continued to collide in the air, and then crashed into the river together. Accompanied by the sounds of 'woohoo' and 'yoho', they continued to fight in the river.
He didn't have a high level at that time, and he didn't have much energy for fighting, so he often suffered losses.
After the quarrel for a while, the three human teenagers took off their wet linen clothes and formed a human figure on the grass by the river, feet to feet.
'Mu, what do you want to do in the future?'
'Practice demonic skills and join the Yantian Army! Now hundreds of tribes are having trouble with us every day, and they even say they want to join forces to fight us. Then I will let them learn how powerful our human demonic arts are! We defeated all the heavens!
'
'Where is Feng? You are the grandson of His Majesty Fuxi.'
'The name my grandfather gave me was just the name Feng. I want to learn the innate Bagua from my father and see if I can deduce my own Bagua. I also want to learn how to govern the country. My father often warned that force alone is not enough.
Let the human race prosper.'
'What about you Ji?'
'Me? I want to be the husband of a hundred women!'
'Ji Qian, can you think about business? Father said you are a genius!'
'Don't be angry, Feng. The country with Xiong is too small. If I can marry more women, I can have more children, and my country will prosper. Reproduction is the greatest advantage of our human race!'
'Ji, what you said makes sense.'
'Mu, don't be led astray by him! Reproduction is based on the harmony of yin and yang! Yin and yang should be balanced!'
'Feng, just tell me if you want to get a wife?'
'I...I'm not like you.'
'The wind is blushing! Haha!'
The laughter flowing in the river valley gradually faded out of the scene, and the sky was filled with firelight.
Because the Shennong clan pursued a gentle policy, the Anti-Heaven Alliance maintained a superficial harmony. The Shennong clan was in seclusion for a long time due to hidden injuries, but the ancient kingdoms began to fight endlessly. Countries, tribes, and tribes started wars from time to time.
That fire almost destroyed the foundation of the Bear Country.
The young Ji Xuanyuan could only rely on the broken sword in his hand to protect his mother and sister behind him. Looking at the snake-riding ghosts attacking from the flames, he began to regret why he didn't repair the quick fix.
of magic power.
A beam of strong light struck down, and the snake rider in front of him was suddenly split open by the strong light. Blood sprayed to the left and right, and ripples appeared on the ground covered by the formation.
It was a long knife with a halberd-like head. He recognized this strange-looking weapon at first sight.
He looked up and saw beams of light falling from the sky, and in the light fell a figure surrounded by black energy.
The snake riders who invaded the city flew into the sky in a hurry.
The burly young general, wearing armor and animal skins, fell straight down, grabbed the short halberd, and turned to look at the young Ji Xuanyuan.
‘Emperor General Li Mu is here! He came to mediate with the order of Emperor Yan... Is the injury serious?’
Xuanyuan Huangdi remembered clearly that at that moment, he felt more relaxed than ever before, and he sat down on the ground, his hand breaking off the sword and exploding into pieces.
Later.
Although the Xiong Kingdom was only a small country, it rose rapidly after the great disaster. From Shaodian to Xuanyuan, it had the potential to devour Liuhe.
His chariot, carrying the men of the Bear Clan, drove to those countries of hundreds of tribes, seeking revenge, collecting people, educating them, and fighting again.
Suddenly one day, he, who was already powerful and strong, heard that Limu was demoted to herding sheep by the North Sea, so he drove a Pegasus, filled his chariot with fine wine, and drove tens of thousands of miles to meet Limu, who looked like a bear.
Since then, pictures have continued to pass by.
in the tent;
on the battlefield;
around the campfire;
When drinking to your heart’s content;
Days and nights spent worrying about the war.
Finally, on that day, the Shennong family retired to seclusion, and the common master of the world and the great troubles of hundreds of tribes fell on his shoulders at the same time.
When he turned around to look, he saw that many of Limu and Fenghou's friends had gotten married, and everyone had become fathers, clan leaders, and husbands.
When we say goodbye, we are fighting to the death in a desperate situation.
Countless soldiers have fallen, and he has bid farewell to countless friends...
…
In Dong'an City.
Emperor Xuanyuan closed his eyes and sighed.
The human emperor flashed and appeared silently in the sky above Dong'an City. The disguise on his body was gone, and he returned to his original appearance and clothes. He lowered his head and looked at Mu Ningning's figure.
Mu Ningning is walking with her master Qingxu.
They followed Li Dazhi and the two immortal masters of the Wan Yun Sect and rushed to the high-rise building of the Wan Yun Sect in the city.
After the wind, the heavenly forces rose into the air, and each of them regained their appearance, standing behind Xuanyuan Huangdi.
"Feng," Xuanyuan Huangdi asked in a deep voice, "since Limu's daughter received the order from fellow Taoist Fuxi, why didn't anyone look for her later?"
"Your Majesty!"
Fenghou cupped her hands and said:
"When we faced a desperate situation, our human race scattered more than a hundred kinds of fire, and the daughter of Li Mu was one of them.
"Later, all the fires returned on their own, but only a dozen fires were extinguished in the flames of war. I looked through the inscriptions at that time, and the daughter of Li Mu was regarded as having died in the flames of war.
"This matter is due to the incompetence of the inspector, which caused the general to be homeless and suffer a lot of hardships!
"Your Majesty, please punish me."
"Alas," Huangdi Xuanyuan sighed, "Li Mu loved his little daughter the most back then. His little daughter has been keeping the fire for our human race to this day. This matter really makes me feel bad."
Old Man Tianli secretly muttered in his heart: 'I? This self-proclaimed... Your Majesty has begun to show off, which means that His Majesty really takes this matter very seriously.'
Xuanyuan Huangdi said again:
"I look at her soul and I see that this woman is the daughter of Li Mu, but this woman is not the daughter of Li Mu.
"She has given birth to a new soul, and it has been perfectly integrated with the old soul. It is like living a new life.
"Feng Xiang thinks, can I give her some reward?"
Fenghou said: "Your Majesty, although brother Limu died in the battle, his clan has been proud for tens of thousands of years, and Limu's daughter is no longer the same person as she was back then. It's hard to find a reason for a reward."
Xuanyuan Huangdi glanced at Tianli: "Dali, what do you think?"
"The general will be terrified!"
Old man Tianli said hurriedly:
"The general only knows about the conquest and does not dare to make any assumptions about such a major event!"
Xuanyuan Huangdi sighed: "This is my nephew!"
Fenghou cupped her hands and said, "I would like to accept her as my adopted daughter and take care of brother Limu!"
"Um?"
Huangdi Xuanyuan turned around, stared at Fenghou, and said slowly:
"Feng Xiang, why do I smell a conspiracy in you?"
Fenghou raised her head and glanced at Huangdi Xuanyuan, and sneered: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I am by no means my grandfather. I and brother Limu are also close friends. It is natural for me to take care of his daughter."
"You wait a moment."
Xuanyuan Huangdi lost his majesty, crossed his arms, scratched his chin, and muttered:
"In the past, the Fuxi family retired and left behind three instructions. Your Feng family has been following these three instructions since Fuxi.
"The first criticism should be given to the Shennong clan. Your father is the Nongsang minister of the Shennong clan. He is well-known and assisted the Shennong clan in its rise.
"The second criticism belongs to me. You were my childhood playmate. I didn't understand political affairs at first. Most of these political skills and balancing techniques were learned from you. Now you are also a human being.
"The flames fall from the grass, and wildfires spread everywhere. The bear rules the world, and when the army is defeated, the people are prosperous."
"The third comment is the revival of heavenly principles and the fall of disasters..."
Old man Tianli was refreshed and his mind was filled with thoughts. He glanced at Fenghou's back and risked his life to remonstrate:
"Your Majesty, I will be brave! Please use the probing method to take a look at Li Ping'an's tomb!"
Xuanyuan Huangdi frowned and said: "The Lingtai is the destiny of the monks. How can I easily detect it? Even though I am the Great Luo Jinxian, how can I be so disrespectful to my human descendants...the power of heaven?"
Xuanyuan Huangdi leaned back and turned his head to glare at the Queen of the Wind.
Feng Hou didn't know why, he really didn't plan this...
Fenghou looked at Li Ping'an who was rushing back to his house. He saw Li Ping'an changing his clothes and using the method of transformation in the middle of the road. After looking at it carefully for a while, he said:
"There is indeed a ray of heavenly power in his body."
Old man Tianli didn't dare to hide anything, so he quickly reported the incident of people's sacrifice in Xizhou.
Xuanyuan Huangdi snorted: "I know this myself, and I went over there to scold them. These women in the Holy Mother Palace are becoming more arrogant and arrogant."
Feng Hou smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if Li Ping'an is chosen by Heaven and becomes its slave, it would not be a bad thing."
"Please Feng Xiang think twice!"
Old man Tianli said hurriedly:
"Ping'an has a loyal temperament and a quick mind. He is truly a rare talent in our human race.
"Even if he cannot become an immortal, he has never surrendered to the way of heaven. Now that he has obtained the method of spiritual transformation, he will open up a path of self-cultivation even if he has no choice but to do so!
"He has made numerous contributions to ASEAN, destroyed the Blood Demon Palace, and followed the New Deal..."
Xuanyuan and Fenghou looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"Feng, look, Dali, the deputy leader of ASEAN, is so protective of a young man."
Old Man Tianli quickly knelt down and said, "General, I have made many mistakes in my words. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"Get up, don't be so formal, I'm not a tyrant."
Xuanyuan Huangdi sighed softly:
"Feng, you asked me to come here, probably because the daughter of Li Mu reminded me that the leader of the next great world has appeared here.
"My two Taoist friends have advised me before that I should retreat when I should.
"I have done what I should do, and I am looking for the person to pass on the throne."
Fenghou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, haven't you already retreated?"
"Although I have retreated, the position of Human Emperor passed down to me remains in Nanzhou, and Nanzhou is covered by the Juetian Formation.
“Southern China is now beyond recognition.
"The ancient traditions no longer exist, human sacrifices are popular, blessing sacrifices hold power, and the divine court remains untouched.
"The most ridiculous thing is that there is still an afterimage of me in the divine court, but it is the gratitude of all living beings and the resonance of the great road. This is a disaster caused by the lack of control of heaven.
"But that is just a secular country founded by the Holy Mother, and it has nothing to do with me anymore."
Emperor Xuanyuan put his hands behind his hands and sighed:
"The only thing I'm worried about now is actually the more than six million immortal soldiers in Dongzhou and ASEAN.
"This is our human race's barrier, and our force must never be weakened."
Fenghou asked: "Why doesn't Your Majesty establish a heavenly palace for the human race?"
"The law of heaven has nothing to do with me," Huangdi Xuanyuan shook his head and chuckled, "I will never obey the command of heaven, and heaven does not dare to let me take charge."
Then, Xuanyuan Huangdi looked at Li Ping'an, lowered his head and pondered.
When Fenghou saw this, he stood quietly with a smile on his face. He stopped talking and began to plan carefully in his heart.
Before he came, he really didn't have so many calculations, but now...
Old man Tianli was a little confused while listening.
Your Majesty and Shenxiang, what does this mean?
To reward or not to reward?
Xuanyuan Huangdi smiled and said: "Let's discuss it later. Let me take a good look at this Li Ping'an...Tsk, tsk, he is going to meet my eldest niece."
In the flower hall on the top floor of Wanyun Sect's high-rise building.
"Ning Ning?"
Mu Ningning was looking at the sea view outside the window. She was feeling relaxed and happy, and her heart was at peace, when she suddenly heard a familiar call from behind her.
She turned around and saw a young Taoist dressed in green, and her heart suddenly melted.
No one dared to disturb the meeting that had been postponed for half a year.
After a while, the two of them stood hugging each other by the window, talking a little to each other, and generally speaking, they were quite polite.
But Emperor Xuanyuan and Queen Feng frowned at the same time.
"Feng, I see why this kid needs a beating so much."
"There is indeed something wrong. A moment ago, he was in Zuiyue Tower, teasing and joking with the female cultivator from Happy Valley... He looked very much like His Majesty in those days."
Emperor Xuanyuan laughed and scolded: "Nonsense! I am a single-minded person!"
Tianli whispered: "Mu Ningning and Li Ping'an were childhood sweethearts. We didn't find out about Mu Ningning's daughter until later."
Huangdi Xuanyuan waved his hand and covered up the scene in the flower hall.
A majestic human being, a divine figure, an ordinary veteran general of a certain clan cannot watch two young clansmen quarreling with each other.
Xuanyuan Huangdi said: "Look above...Dali, is this the man of great luck?"
Old Man Tianli immediately said: "Your Majesty! The bald man is Li Dazhi. This man is very good at business and pioneered the practice of refining weapons."
Xuanyuan Huangdi and Fenghou looked at it at the same time.
Li Dazhi was summoning the elders and deacons to have a tea meeting in the flower hall on the top floor.
Most of what they talked about were recent accounts, there wasn't much new news, and there was nothing that would surprise Xuanyuan Huangdi and Fenghou.
After watching for a while, Xuanyuan Huangdi said:
"Look at Feng, this Li Dazhi has indeed brought luck to the people around him."
"I just calculated Li Dazhi's appearance. He is indeed a very wealthy and noble man. With such great luck, he will be unfavorable in everything he does. I heard that the Tiantian Clan was in trouble with him before. I am afraid that the Tiantian Clan will kill itself.
It’s hard work.”
"Is this person really so lucky?"
"It can be said that it is second only to His Majesty back then."
"Oh? It's interesting."
Xuanyuan Huangdi crossed his arms and smiled again:
"Look at that female fairy, the one who appeared next to Qing Su before. Her luck has been improved the most. She should be Li Dazhi's Taoist companion."
"Let me do the math... Xiao Yue was destined to have a calamity, but her face at this moment shows that the calamity has already passed."
"The great luck helped her avoid death?"
"It should be like this."
Xuanyuan Huangdi narrowed his eyes slightly: "According to this, this Li Dazhi can also be used."
"I'm afraid it won't work," Feng Hou said hurriedly, "My grandfather once said that the next great catastrophe is called the Taoist Immortal Tribulation, which is an opportunity for the great prosperity of heaven. The people with great luck who appear now will probably have to deal with this catastrophe."
"I don't know if this immortal calamity will affect our clan."
Xuanyuan Huangdi said warmly:
"It's really hard for me, the human race, to get involved in Taoist matters... This father and son are going to meet, let's listen to what they talk about.
"If there is nothing new, let's go back and think about how to give some benefits to Limu's little daughter."
…
Li Ping'an and Mu Ningning had a warm relationship for a while, and they made an appointment to go shopping and play in Dong'an City later, then hurriedly went to find their father.
Li Dazhi's immortal consciousness saw Li Ping'an's figure, raised his hand to screen everyone away, and arranged several layers of immortal power barriers.
Li Dazhi did not let Xiao Yue leave.
But Xiao Yue said she would make tea for Li Ping'an, and after going to the screen, she took the initiative to put up a layer of fairy power barrier.
"dad……"
Li Ping'an pushed the door open and fell weakly next to Li Dazhi. He sat on the soft left side, picked up the untouched tea in front of his father, took a few sips, and then lay down directly.
"What's going on?"
Li Dazhi chuckled:
“If you feel uncomfortable staying in ASEAN, come back and don’t put so much pressure on yourself.
"Now we have blocked most of the Tiantian Clan's offensive. In another ten years, we will definitely be able to surpass them in the art of weapon refining."
Li Ping'an sighed quietly: "It's okay for me to be in ASEAN. I took the initiative to go to the grassroots level to gain experience. I stayed in two leisure departments for half a year, and I just fished and chanted sutras to raise tigers every day."
The father and son began to talk in dialect.
Unexpectedly, among the three people listening to their chat at the moment, there was one who was skilled in all kinds of secret techniques.
Fenghou casually took out a Bagua disk. The Bagua disk flashed with light, and the three of them immediately understood the conversation between father and son.
"Invalid Encryption".
Li Dazhi wondered: "I have never understood where the ASEAN military expenditures come from? They don't collect taxes, but they actually raise millions of immortal soldiers."
"Sit back and eat nothing."
Li Pingan said:
"It relies on the treasure trove collected from the ancient heaven and hundreds of tribes.
“The first department I went to was related to the warehouse.
"I have handled several account books and can roughly estimate that 60% of the treasures in the ASEAN treasury have been consumed.
"ASEAN's days of being indifferent to world affairs and focusing on raising troops can last for tens of thousands of years, so we don't need to worry about it."
"Not always!"
Li Dazhi shook his head:
"Don't forget that there are still threats from hundreds of tribes. If there is a war, the amount of treasures consumed is astronomical. ASEAN did not plan ahead and arrange taxation in Dongzhou in advance."
Li Ping'an rested his arms on his head, looked at the ceiling, his eyes empty, and said casually: "Would you like to submit a letter?"
"I can't," Li Dazhi sneered, "I'm not qualified to be an official. If you ask me to be an official, all I can do is put on show and accept gifts. Just like what the play says, I celebrate the New Year every day and play every night... You submit a letter and earn money."
It’s also good to have some credit.”
"I'm already imagining it. I'll come up with it later when I have the opportunity."
Li Pingan swiped casually and traced the boundaries of Dongzhou.
"In the land of Dongzhou, there are thousands of people in Dazhongfang Town and tens of millions of casual cultivators. The entity that collects taxes cannot be Zongmen Mountain Gate. Zongmen Mountain Gate is the place of Qing Xiu.
"The entity that collects taxes must be a town, and the donation must be made to the sect.
"Fang Town collects taxes, which are local taxes and bonded taxes. Each shop should pay part of the tax according to the amount of profit. The inn is taken over by ASEAN, and the inn is designated as a place where no fight can be fought. It provides shelter for casual cultivators, so as to collect taxes."
Bonded.
"It will be used for three purposes, one is military expenses for cultivating immortal soldiers, the other is for the construction of towns and villages, and the third is to help mortals and low-level casual cultivators."
Li Dazhi clicked his tongue: "You are too idealistic. If you really want to collect taxes, you must first join forces with the big sects and let the big sects pay part of it, and the non-commercial cultivators will pay part of it. Then, the tax of the big sects will be paid back in full, and the non-commercial cultivators will pay the tax in full."
The taxes are used to fund ASEAN military expenditures.”
"This won't work."
Li Pingan said seriously:
"Dad, what you are doing is oppressing casual cultivators."
"But believe it or not," Li Dazhi raised his eyebrows, "If you don't do this, you won't get much at all."
Li Ping'an hesitated to speak, but said: "Dongzhou is like a jade, all kinds of rules have not yet been established. If the rules are initially established and leave too much room for relaxation, people will be evil, and the people behind will continue to test and get off the line.
"
"That's all I said!"
Li Dazhi patted his head:
"Isn't this the trick of the evil capitalists? If you have an idea, just use it.
"By the way, Ping An, have you seen the backers of Tiantianmen in ASEAN?"
On the eaves of this tall building, three figures quietly descended.
Old Man Tianli gritted his teeth, and his Taoist heart was twisted into a ball at this moment.
But Li Ping'an's next words made old man Tianli's legs go weak.
Just listen to Li Pingan say:
"In the final analysis, the backer of Tiantian Clan is our great human race...His Majesty the Human Emperor."
