Longevity begins with Orion

Chapter 304 302. Mirage of Kunlun, Emperor of Light (please subscribe)

Empress Li Youning of the Tang Dynasty was a dashing woman. When she put on the armor, she was a general with astonishing momentum who could not be underestimated by anyone. When she took off the armor, she was the mother of the country who cared about the world and was impeccable in every move she made.

At this time, it was the twelfth lunar month.

The palace in Yundu has only been built for a few years, everything is new, and the atmosphere is also new.

Although the construction of the new palace was a waste of time and money, the Kyushu region was huge and the population was large, so the construction did not take a toll on the people.

In a world without ghost lands and meat fields, even if it is exploited by the powerful, the world's population is still much larger than before. According to preliminary statistics from the Ministry of Household Registration, the latest number of household registrations has been reported, which is 2.3 billion people.

The queen sat next to the emperor with a freshly cooked radish and beef soup.

She looked at the side of the emperor's face with her peripheral vision. Even though they had been married for more than five years, this man was still distant and noble. Only when men and women were happy, could she feel the closeness to each other and the power contained in the man. human nature.

Li Yuan, on the other hand, was looking at the household registration certificate. He knew exactly what he should do.

The troubled times have not been determined by the hands of the Human Emperor, nor by the hands of Emperor Xuan, so it is up to him to bring an end to it, so that if reincarnation occurs again, it will not lead to a new troubled world.

He was tired of the troubled times.

"Encourage fertility."

“If you have two children, your tax will be reduced by half.”

"If you have raised children for three years, you will be exempt from tax for three years, and then the tax will be reduced by half."

He murmured in his mouth, then suddenly turned his head, looked at Li Youning, and asked: "Queen, what do you think?"

After that, he smiled mockingly to himself and said, "This thing gives me a headache all by myself."

He was obsessed with practicing, but he had to take care of these things. However, he didn't have much time to do this. That's all I need to do is take some time, come back and look at the excerpts and make some suggestions.

Li Yuan didn't read the book, but in the past it was the queen who did.

When the Queen is watching, it is actually the Li family who is watching.

But the queen is not stupid. She insists that when she gets married, it is her husband's family, not her natal family. Although this husband's natal family is actually just a ceremony of "ancestral blood returning home", as a queen, she still understands it very well. "Harm caused by relatives".

Li Youning looked at the fold and said: "I thought that while increasing the number of households, we also need to select talents to serve as officials in the court. Otherwise, if there are too many household registrations and no one takes care of them, or if they are not managed properly, it will only increase chaos.

In the past, officials were all monopolized by major families.

During the reign of Emperor Xuan, the academy tried to recruit civilians, but it ended due to the sudden death of Emperor Xuan.

The concubine thought that the reason why it ended was entirely because the high-level officials were all members of aristocratic families.

The aristocratic family does not allow ordinary people to share their power. "

Li Yuan smiled and said: "You are also from a family."

Li Youning said: "But I know better what kind of world your Majesty wants."

Li Yuan's expression became gentle. He threw the fold to the queen, picked up the beef and radish soup, took a mouthful of it, and the slightly spicy meaty aroma coated his taste buds before he swallowed it.

"Did you add pepper?"

"Manjiao is a specialty of the mountains from the Barbarian tribe. In the past, Yujing was far away, but now Yundu is close, so Manjiao is plentiful and cheap."

"Queen, let's take care of this. It's best to ask me before making a decision."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Youning did his part.

Snow is falling outside the window, the mother of the country is writing and starting to deal with the piled up memorials, while the emperor is drinking beef soup.

He glanced at the vast palace. The screen blocked the draft, but he could vaguely see the two strings of red lanterns hanging outside the door, as well as the snow covered in the light field of the lanterns and the guard palace maids on duty.

It's freezing cold, so a bowl of beef soup is really good.

After finishing the drink, a while had passed. Li Yuan glanced sideways at the serious and focused queen.

Long-term fatigue has left traces on her face.

Li Yuanhu said: "Let's form a parliament."

"Parliament?" Li Youning put down his pen, with a thoughtful look on his intellectual face, and then said, "I heard that there are many parliaments in the Golden Account in the North.

Nomadic people often follow the leader, and several leadermen can form a small tribe.

Major events such as tribal migration are jointly decided by these leaders.

In our great Tang Dynasty, all power belongs to Your Majesty, how can we choose such a leader? Make such a parliament? "

Li Yuanluo thought for a while and said: "Politics and religion are integrated, and the teachings state that they have a bright heart. If they prey on the common people for the family's personal gain and cause disaster, the teachings can kill their hearts and destroy their power."

This was his past train of thought.

If the existence of Wendao Palace wants to enter the fourth level, it must plant jade in its heart, but it is a pity that it is no longer extraordinary at that time.

But now that there is visualization and the Light Sect has been established, it might as well be to use the teachings to restrain people's desires.

"But the strong men who emerge from the common people are just a new batch of heads of aristocratic families." Li Youning said, "They will be bright in their hearts, but their heirs may not be so."

Li Yuandao: "Those who join the parliament cannot have a family, and their descendants cannot be officials or engage in business."

"Then what do they do?" Li Youning asked curiously.

Li Yuandao: "Join the religion as a holy servant, practice the teachings, and understand the power. Children who have been bathed in the teachings since childhood will no longer have greedy thoughts.

It's just the teachings of the Illuminati Sect, but it needs to be carefully compiled. "

"I understand, I understand." Li Youning nodded.

This seems unbelievable in any dynasty.

But now the Tang Dynasty was newly established, and the prestige of his men in the world had reached an unprecedented peak. He could completely cover the sky with one hand and push the country in an unprecedented direction.

The Mother of the Nation continued to review some excerpts, and thinking that in the future these excerpts would probably be placed in the middle of the round table and discussed by a circle of members, the Mother of the Nation felt both novel and dignified.

At this moment, a pair of strong hands suddenly hugged her waist.

There was a voice in the ear of the mother of the country.

"It's rare to come back alone, so the queen should rest early today."

The mother's face turned red, and her body was as soft as water in the arms of the man behind her.

Li Yuan picked up the woman who was still worried about the world just a moment ago.

The soft and boneless warm fragrance clings to the strong arms.

Then the beauty stretched out her arm and hooked Li Yuan's neck. The flowers were broken and her eyes were blurred.

The mother of the country must be pregnant with a child. Only in this way will the new dynasty be more stable.

The Li family is looking forward to the Queen's belly bulging.

The people are also looking forward to the birth of Longzi.

A hard night's work.

Li Yuan called the maid to serve the queen, and then went out.

He came to a study and stepped in. There were already new books on the bookshelves in the study.

These new books are all about "Western Travel Notes" and the like, which were searched by Shencelou from all over the country.

The Shence Building is a world-class intelligence organization with a long history. It was founded by the Li family, and its current owner is Li Tianshi.

Li Yuan glanced at the books, paused briefly, and then pulled out a thin leather volume.

This scroll is stained with blood.

Li Tianshi was a sensible person, and he would not deliberately suppress these really important things just to make "the things delivered to the emperor look good."

The more it is stained with blood, the more it proves the value of the words inside.

And it is even more so if it can be sent to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan opened the book.

The leather roll was taut and had many wrinkles. Not only was there blood inside, but the writing was also extremely sloppy and smeared in many places. It looked like it had been thrown into water and then taken out to dry.

There is also a brief text on the side of the leather scroll: The fisherman in the west of Yundu City obtained it from the belly of Hua Cui.

Hua Dian is a big fish that likes coldness and hides in fresh water.

Li Yuan thought to himself: 'Since it was obtained from the belly of a fish, it must have come from upstream. ’

He still remembered that in the past, when the ice and snow in the gods' cemetery moved, the corpses from the upper reaches would always be carried down, and then some would form ghost realms in the extremely gloomy places downstream.

The little wolf mother who likes to watch the sunset is one of them.

He looked at the scroll with interest.

This is a diary.

It is not known who kept the diary.

However, when Li Yuan took control of the Southland, he had ordered that "anyone who can provide information about the journey to the west or information about the Queen Mother" will be rewarded, but if there is deception, it will be a serious crime.

He gave many rewards, and even showed the reward of "consecrating Zen to Christianity".

For a time, there were many people traveling westward.

And this could very well be one of them.

At the beginning of the diary, I wrote some routes, but the terrain in the mountains was extremely complicated, and gradually the person who wrote the diary seemed to have lost his way.

But he still records.

At the end of the record, he saw a sacred tree on a high mountain in the distance.

The sacred tree looks like a locust tree, but it is rooted in the sky, in the clouds, and in the fog, which is extremely mysterious.

The person who wrote the diary was ecstatic, thinking that he had found the legendary "Land of the Queen Mother". He ran quickly to the sacred tree and took time to record it.

By this paragraph, his handwriting was no longer calm, but appeared very excited. Obviously he felt that he had found extremely important information, whether it was "The Legend of the Queen Mother's Immortal Medicine" or "The Emperor's Rewards of the Tang Dynasty", they all made him feel... There is infinite power in the body.

But when the text reaches here, it stops abruptly.

Obviously, the person who wrote the diary died on the way to the "Sky Tree".

How he died, Li Yuan didn't know.

But he did have some opinions about the sacred tree.

Xiao Lin cultivated the heavenly soul, and all the souls merged into one, and finally only one soul remained.

And that soul is a locust tree.

As for why it is in the sky, Li Yuan probably is a mirage.

The reason is very simple. He himself knows how far away the tomb of the gods is from here. If this person really saw the tree near the tomb of the gods, then there is no way that the skin roll could be eaten by the fish and then swim there. Come here.

Still, it makes sense.

At least the description of the "Sky Divine Tree" is most likely the current state of Xiao Lu's Heavenly Soul clone.

Li Yuan looked carefully.

The leaves are green and black, and giant bees as big as mandarin ducks are flying among them.

The roots of the trees protrude from the ground, like a flock of pythons undulating in the sea of ​​clouds. Between the tree roots, there are a group of sheep crouching, with four horns, dark eyes, and indescribable sacredness.

Li Yuan closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

What he felt was not something "holy and unspeakable" but "evil and unspeakable".

"Sure enough, something happened."

He narrowed his eyes.

But immediately, strange emotions arose in his heart, because he still remembered the world before he traveled.

There is a book in that world called "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", and similar scenes are recorded in the "Book of Western Mountains" in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

He vaguely remembered those two sentences.

One sentence: There is a bird on the hill of Kunlun. It is shaped like a bee and as big as a mandarin duck. It is called Qinyuan. Birds and beasts will die, and trees will wither.

One sentence: There is a beast, which looks like a sheep with four horns. It is called a soil cricket, and it eats people.

Li Yuan took a deep breath, then put away the scroll, looking at the falling snow outside the door with a faint expression, feeling weird in his heart, and thought to himself: 'Is it possible that this other world is still connected to the world before I traveled through it? ’

At this moment, a guard hurriedly came from outside, half-kneeling outside, saying that he had urgent news.

Li Yuan asked: "What urgent report?"

The guard said respectfully: "There is internal strife in Youzhang. King You is dead. Now the North Wolf God and the Saint are leading the team south. The rest of the information will arrive in the near future."

A few more days passed.

More information about Youzhang was handed over.

The mysterious King You also revealed his true identity.

King You's name was Yanhai, and the Huyan family seemed to have moved from the central land to the north. As for when they moved, it is difficult to ascertain.

Another half month.

The letter from You Zhang was finally delivered to Li Yuan quickly.

The letter spelled out everything clearly.

Everything went as Li Yuan thought.

Hu Yanhai is a reborn person, and was Yu Lie, the "Emperor of the Yu Dynasty" during his lifetime.

And he used a nursery rhyme of "the emperor is healthy and blessed always" to gather the rest of the reborn people of the Yu Dynasty in the north. Then he studied the method in the five years after Mrs. Yu broke through the extraordinary. When Shouyuan was about to leave, At the end of the day, I broke through the extraordinary, and my blond hair turned into black hair.

After that, all the life of Hu Yanhai was explained one by one.

The intention of the surrenderer was also very simple. After seeing that the world was unified and the situation was over, he thought of defecting to the Southland to obtain more cultivation resources.

The one who had a grudge against the Tang Emperor was Hu Yanhai, so they killed Hu Yanhai and then sent back the "door" that the Huyan pirates had taken.

Li Yuan showed the letter to Mr. Mu and Tuoba Yin respectively.

They both nodded and said there was nothing wrong.

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, logically speaking, there is no problem.

After he unified the mountains and rivers, he began to use his power to suppress the Youzhang.

The result was just as he expected.

However, he was not a careless person, so he sent someone to tell him to "recruit the envoys of Youzhang to come alone to see him."

After issuing the order, an inexplicable loneliness arose in his heart: After all, he was the Emperor of Heaven during the Yu Dynasty, and he was someone who had truly witnessed the glory of the ancient gods. Did he just die in the rebellion like this?

After more than a month, at the end of March, the flowers are blooming, but the nights are still cold.

Li Yuan met the saint and the wolf god from the north.

The saint's data is "300~800", but the wolf god's is "500~1100". After all, they are both in the realm of small true knowledge.

The saint's name was Xiao Bing'er. She wore a silk robe with an ice blue border and her long hair tied up. She prostrated herself before Li Yuan and begged for forgiveness.

The wolf god could actually speak human words, which amazed the watching ministers.

Li Yuan forgave this man and wolf, and promised to become a Zen monk, so that he could practice more mountains and rivers.

And that "Door of the Animal Way" finally returned to Li Yuan's hands after more than 130 years of struggle.

He closed the door and stored it deep in the Yundu Palace, and then sent his army north to receive the golden tent and even the dark tent first. Then he would lead the cavalry to follow, seal the northern land, and expand the territory to accommodate more mountains and rivers. gas.

And it's not over yet.

This is simply controlling the territory of the kingdom that now seems to exist.

After that, he still needs to send people to the Great Wilderness, the East China Sea, the West Pole, the South Pole, and even to the end of the world, so that his name can be heard in every corner of the rivers and mountains, and then he can be enshrined in the four poles.

Until that day, his power should be qualified to achieve great success, and he should have the opportunity to reach the "fourth realm".

At that time, he will run the "Fate Star Technique" again and graft new power into the body.

Then observe the operation of the "ancestral land" and "underworld", wait until the time is calculated, and then place the door at the closest place in advance to form a link.

Properly placing doors is not an easy task.

Although he can see "the movement of the world" in a state where he has not been reincarnated, that is only if he has not been reincarnated.

But Li Yuan had a vague feeling that if he could really reach the "fourth realm" and complete the "human emperor system", then the situation should change.

In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed.

The vanguard cavalry has already started.

After Li Yuan completed a practice, he also led three thousand cavalry northward.

During this trip, Li Yuan's clothes were very different. He wore an imperial crown and a dazzling white gold robe. There was a delicately embroidered blazing sun on the chest of the platinum robe. However, the blazing sun hung down into the dusk, showing how much it looked like. It is bright, sacred and has experienced the vicissitudes of time.

Behind him were young men and women in gray robes. These young men and women were extremely talented and were descendants of some of the aristocratic families he had consecrated. This time he selected him as a rising star and took him with him to teach him when he went north.

He enshrined a family, and after obtaining permission, that family could also lead the family's children to worship the mountains and rivers, and then gain "cultivation rights."

However, the authority to transfer a few hands in this way has become very small.

But the teachings of the Guangming Sect will be spread to these aristocratic families, and the talented children in the aristocratic families can gain something by practicing Laoquan and visualizing Li Yuan. Although they will not reach the sky and step into the extraordinary in one step, they will always be outstanding. .

At this moment, those who can surround Li Yuan can be said to be "fanatic believers in the future."

Keep your mind bright and not stained by dust.

Even though the eternal night comes, the twilight remains.

This is the beginning of a brief and popular teaching.

Anyone who visualizes the "Lord of Light" needs to recite this teaching silently and meditate quietly without letting his mind deviate even a little.

Naturally, there are many interpretations, but one of the most important meanings is "to maintain the purity of the soul, do not be greedy, do not commit crimes, and do not do evil. Even if the devil full of filth comes from the eternal night, you must remember that the light is still there, The dusk is still there.”

This is Li Yuan cleansing the souls of future leaders.

Of course, if there is too much light and hatred of evil, it will also appear to be too paranoid, and then there will be no fish.

But this is better than the darkness and aristocratic families trying to gain power and oppressing the common people.

The boys and girls in gray robes followed behind the man on horseback, watching his words and deeds and listening to his teachings. There was an indescribable sense of sanctity on the faces of these children.

It was a feeling of following a myth and witnessing history.

The "trace of disciples of aristocratic families who are born to consider the interests of the aristocratic family" on their bodies is fading away, replaced by "bright glory."

Everyone has seen the vitality of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and can also know what will happen to the Guangming Sect in the future.

And the starting point of everything in the future is now.

At this time, they were not only walking on the road heading north, but also walking on the history books of the future.

How will those history books record today?

And among them, will anyone record the words and deeds of the Tang Emperor and compile them into sacred texts for future generations to learn from?

Of course, although the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has not yet said it, everyone knows that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Leader of the Light, the two positions that control the top of the world's power, have been integrated into one.

And this will soon require a new title.

As the leader of the Guangming Cult, Li Yuan naturally needs to set a good example for the children.

Therefore, the progress on the way north is not very fast.

He did good deeds along the way and solved various problems left over from various places after the war. However, there were many good and bad officials, and they all had their own camps, so it was impossible to kill them all.

In the blink of an eye, autumn came, and the Emperor of Tang Dynasty was already approaching the north.

Along the way, I saw all the suffering of the people.

The future pillars of the Guangming Sect looked at the leader's face with compassion and shed tears at that majestic face. They all felt the same and wept along with him.

"The light will shine here."

Li Yuan said majestically.

Then he looked at the children and said, "You are their light."

The boys and girls felt their souls being washed.

And on this day, everyone was passing by a place called "Luofeng Town".

There are many poor people in this place. Many of them are huddled outside the autumn wind in the restaurant, while others are walking away with their daughters in hand.

The young believers of the Guangming Sect stepped forward one after another, took out their own money, and started the "poverty alleviation action", treating it like dung. They were originally the seeds of aristocratic families, and they had no shortage of silver, but now they just wanted to use it. on these poor people.

Li Yuan was also walking in this northern town with a gloomy tone and a desolate atmosphere.

Many beggars or poor people came to worship him.

He gives money.

It was the most literal thing he could do right now.

A large sum of money may be enough to extend the life of a poor person. They cannot wait for a change in the future. All they need is food and clothing in front of them to survive the increasingly cold weather. This has nothing to do with the great changes in the world, the end of the world, and mortals. Mortals only live a hundred years, who cares after a hundred years?

Li Yuan worked hard to set an example.

One after another people come and leave.

The thanks are endless.

The Emperor of Light, wearing a crown and a white-gold robe of the sun, brings good news to this poor gray town.

At this moment, an ordinary beggar, mixed in with two or three beggars, walked toward Li Yuan with his head lowered and a flattering but timid smile.

The moment Li Yuan raised his head, he saw the beggar.

He gave a lot of money to the other beggars, but not to him.

The beggar lowered his head and his palms trembled. Just as he was about to speak, Li Yuan sighed: "It's not easy."

The beggar raised his head blankly. It was a dirty face with many scars.

Li Yuan looked him up and down and said, "Follow me."

The beggar followed him and left.

Li Yuan brought the beggar to the restaurant, threw away his money and asked the waiter to arrange for him to bathe and change clothes. Then he ordered a large table of dishes and sat aside to wait for him.

When the beggar appeared again, he had changed his appearance.

The humble temperament has disappeared. Although the ruined face is still ugly, the spine is straight, and the aura around him is gradually dissipating.

The beggar said in a hoarse voice: "Thanks to your respect, I am willing."

Li Yuan waved his hand, stared at him for a long time, and suddenly said: "If I guess correctly, you are King You, right?"

beggar:.

The expression of extreme shock was imprinted on his face. Time seemed to have stopped around him, and the crowds outside the restaurant seemed to have completely disappeared.

The gray evening wind seemed bleak and cold, and a ray of rays of the setting sun fell from the skylight, illuminating his lonely face.

"Ah"

"Hahahahaha"

The beggar suddenly laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. His laughter was full of self-mockery.

He endured, hid his clumsiness, destroyed his face, worked hard, and used all his strength to appear in front of the enemy at the best moment and in the best position, but he was seen through by the enemy at a glance.

"Hahahahahaha! It's funny, it's really funny! Hahahahaha!!"

Hu Yanhai's laughter was extremely sad.

The king who once killed gods was never able to create another miracle.

Li Yuan glanced at the "2000~21500" beside him, then looked at his own "6000~60000", sighed, and then also laughed.

The loneliness in his eyes recovered somewhat, and he said: "You are a real genius, and I admire you very much. But you really shouldn't steal that door."

Hu Yanhai didn't say anything, but suddenly grabbed a roast duck on the table and started eating it.

He needs to replenish his strength and regain his form!

Li Yuandao: "Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry, and go to sleep after eating. When you recover, I look forward to you bringing me surprises."
