After leaving Changle Palace, Li Mu stopped by the Worship Department to have a look.
Before leaving, two high priests stopped Li Mu and asked, "Master Li, there were two visions from the sky in the palace in the past few days. What were they?"
Li Mucheng said: "It's a vision of the birth of the Tianji Talisman."
The two rubbed their hands and asked anxiously: "Those two secret talismans..."
Li Mu nodded and said: "Yes, it's for you. You work hard here. When the time comes, those two secret talismans will be in your hands intact."
When the two heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, and your Majesty the Queen, we will definitely fulfill our duties and be dedicated to our work..."
There are still a few years before the delivery of the Tianji Talisman to the two great worshippers. The Zhou Dynasty is a vast land with abundant resources. It will be enough for the court to gather a few more sets of materials in a few years, so there is no need to worry.
For these high-level practitioners, the biggest enemy is Shouyuan. Fu Daozi and Sang Gu were so anxious to recruit disciples because they planned to pass on the mantle before Shouyuan was cut off, but it was a pity.
After practicing hard to reach the seventh level, his lifespan is only one hundred and eighty years. Li Mu also feels that it is too short, but the Queen is right. Spending a lifetime with the one you love is far better than practicing hard for a few years and retreating in seclusion.
Come out, the deadline has come and it will be much more meaningful.
Liu Hanyan and Li Qing were not here, and there were only Wanwan Xiaobai and a few maids at home.
Li Mu usually doesn't spend much time alone with them, but today he took the initiative to take them for a walk on the street.
What he owes the most is Xiaobai. As his undercover agent, Xiaobai is so sensible that it makes Li Mu feel bad. He often suffers injustice and delivers important information to him. As a result, Li Mu still has other foxes around him first. Xiaobai is still there.
have no idea.
On the streets of Shendu, Li Mu was held by them, one on the left and the other on the left. Xiaobai and Wanwan were chattering all the way. Suddenly, Li Mu noticed that Wanwan's footsteps stopped and her voice stopped abruptly.
Li Mu turned his head and was about to ask her what was wrong when he noticed that Wanwan was looking in a certain direction on the street, her face a little pale.
Li Mu followed her line of sight and saw a beggar couple begging along the street. People in Shendu were willing to give alms. From time to time, passers-by would take out one or two copper coins and put them in their bowls.
Wanwan stared at the beggar couple with mist in her eyes.
Li Mu realized something, silently took Wanwan's hand and shook it hard.
The beggar couple begged for dozens of copper coins and walked into a remote alley.
The beggar couple were obviously very familiar with the alleys in this area. After turning around in the alleys more than ten times, they finally came to a dilapidated courtyard. The walls of this courtyard were mottled and most of them collapsed. The courtyard was also overgrown with weeds.
It has not been inhabited for a long time, and only some homeless beggars in Shendu will use this place as a temporary residence.
The two of them walked in through the collapsed courtyard wall. In the courtyard, a thin young man in tattered clothes took the bowl from their hands, poured the copper coins into his arms, curled his lips and said, "They say all gods are generous.
, it’s nothing more than that, it took so long to get to this point.”
The woman said: "You can get this in one hour, which is a lot. You must not gamble with it..."
The young man waved his hand and said: "I know, I know, I'll go out and you can find another place to beg. This god is so big, it's enough for us to please for several months..."
Watching the young man leave, the man said: "I asked you not to hand over the money to him. He ran to gamble, and soon he was gone..."
The woman waved her hand and said, "If you don't have it, go and ask for it again. The people here are so generous, so I'm not afraid of not being able to ask for it. But we only have one son, and we will have to rely on him to die in the future..."
The man sighed and said nothing more.
At this time, the woman said with some regret: "I really shouldn't have thrown away that money-losing product. If I had kept it till now, I would have sold it for a big price, at least a hundred taels..."
The man waved his hand and said: "Stop talking about this, while the sun is still early, I can still ask for more money today..."
The two walked out of the abandoned courtyard and walked back to the main street. At the entrance of the courtyard, three figures they could not see were standing there. Wanwan's face was pale and her eyes were empty. She had been abandoned once more than ten years ago.
Many years later, the reunion with her biological parents once again opened a crack in the wound in her heart that had almost healed.
Li Mu and Liu Hanyan have always treated Wanwan as their favorite child and never let her come into contact with anything too cruel. Li Mu could not imagine how much harm her biological parents' words would bring to her.
He took a deep breath, took Wanwan into his arms, and said, "Don't forget, you still have me and Miss."
Xiaobai also felt distressed and hugged her from behind, saying: "There is still me and I, we will always be by your side."
A street somewhere in the capital city of God.
"Well done, everyone..."
"Give us a copper coin to let us eat."
"Okay, okay, okay, okay..."
…
A beggar couple is begging on the street. In fact, beggars are not common on the streets of Shendu. There are opportunities everywhere. As long as you are a little more diligent, you will not be begging on the street. Although the people think that they are getting something for nothing, they still have opportunities.
People felt pity and rewarded them with some money.
The two couples were standing on the street, muttering that the people on this street were not as generous as the people on the street just now, when three figures stopped in front of them.
The man standing in the middle was a man, and on both sides of him stood a beautiful girl. All three of them were luxuriously dressed and had extraordinary bearing. Such people were either rich or noble, so the two of them subconsciously bowed down.
The oval-faced girl on the right took out a banknote from her sleeve and put it in their bowl.
Her eyes stayed on the beggar couple's faces for a long time, then turned and left, never looking back.
The two of them did not dare to look directly at the girl from the beginning to the end. They looked directly at the one hundred taels of silver notes in the bowl. Their throats moved and they swallowed hard.
"Am I right?"
"This is one hundred taels..."
Although they had heard that the people in Shendu were generous, they never thought that someone would be so generous as to give a hundred taels to a beggar. After regaining consciousness, the woman grabbed the banknote and hid it in her sleeve.
Then, the two of them knelt down to the three figures who had gone away, and said with great joy: "Thank you, sir, thank you, miss!"
The three of them never looked back at them since they passed by.
Not long after Li Mu and Wanwan Xiaobai returned home, Master Mei came to invite them into the palace. The Queen asked them to go to the palace for dinner today.
Wanwan has always been very keen on eating in the palace, but today she only ate the plate of green vegetables in front of her. She usually only had a few bites of rice, which usually costs three bowls.
Only Ao Chengxin was enjoying his meal. Seeing that Wan Wan didn't move much about her meal, he took the initiative to take her bowl and said, "You don't like rice, I'll help you eat it..."
The Queen obviously noticed Wanwan's abnormality. After dinner, she left Li Mu in Changle Palace and asked, "What's wrong with Wanwan? Did you bully her?"
Li Mu shook his head and said: "Wanwan met her parents in Shendu today."
Zhou Wu asked doubtfully: "Shouldn't this make you happy?"
Li Mu told her what happened today. Zhou Wu stood up suddenly and said angrily: "How can there be such parents in the world!"
Li Mu looked at her and saw that the Queen's parents were no better than Wan Wan's parents.
The empress felt sorry for Wan Wan and went to comfort her. Before she left, she told Li Mu to let Ao Chengxin go. She was in the capital of Shen on weekdays and did not go out. There was no use keeping her head in the palace.
There is really no use in keeping her. The only use is that after she entered the palace, the Queen never had three meals a day left.
Li Mu looked at the little female dragon who was still sitting at the table and walked over to her and said, "You can go back to the South China Sea."
Ao Chengxin raised his head, his mouth still full of food, and looked at Li Mu with doubtful eyes.
Li Mu said: "Your Majesty has pardoned your crime, you can go back."
Ao Chengxin swallowed the bulging thing in his mouth, and then said: "I can't go back. Our Dragon Clan promised a thousand pieces of gold. The promised three years will be three years, and even one less day will not work..."
