When the Great Dao Dies, I Remain; When Spiritual Energy Withers, I Endure

In Lingtian Continent, three dynasties faced each other.

Although the impact of spiritual energy depletion on mortals is not as profound as that of monks, it is still there.

The most obvious thing is that in the past, spiritual fruits could be seen everywhere. Even if you didn’t farm or work and just picked the fruits and ate them, you could still live a good life. You could grow over a hundred kilograms and live a hundred years without being considered old.

Today, the situation has completely changed.

After the Lingtian Dynasty delegated power to Li Shanhe, they did not just focus on taking care of themselves and not care about worldly affairs.

Actually.

The most majestic eyes in the world have been staring at the operation of the dynasty.

The assassination that day hit him hard, but the most important thing was that it made him realize that times had changed.

Every era has its own rules.

The future monarchs of the Lingtian Dynasty must be young people, because they are better able to adapt to the new rules.

This man wearing a military uniform, with slightly white temples, but still a mighty dragon, would often watch the battles between the princes below him.

Some are a little childish, some are a little commendable.

Not all of the more than four hundred princes are smart, some are only suitable for cultivation, and some only like to be brave and fierce.

Over the years.

Although he didn't know clearly what kind of person was more suitable to be the emperor, he already had a general direction and candidate.

"Fifth Prince Li Tianyu."

"Princess Taiping Li Tianxia."

Li Shanhe tapped his fingers on the dragon chair. Among the more than four hundred princes, these two were the most outstanding.

Not only did he quickly adapt to the new rules, but he also took care of himself quite well.

In addition, there are several princes who are also in his field of vision, but they are not as dazzling as these two.

These two people have repeatedly given advice, and their analysis of the dilemma faced by the Immortal Dynasty is quite reasonable.

What these two princes said was not empty talk, they even bluntly stated that in the future, the Lingtian Dynasty will face a shortage of resources, whether it is food, minerals, salt, etc.

It is expected that this peace agreement will be torn apart within ten years.

…

After being struck by lightning, the swordsman, who was a little burnt on his body, walked into a small town. The town was named "Zhaoyu", which meant that he had more than enough every year. As the name suggests, he was quite wealthy.

The swordsman walked into the tailor shop and said that he wanted to choose fabrics and customize a piece of clothing. The style didn't need to be too complicated, just the same as what he was wearing now.

The owner of the tailor shop is a woman, a pretty widow who is famous all over the country. She twists her waist when she walks, and hangs a sachet on her waist. The fragrance is sultry and attracts a lot of bad peach blossoms, but her red lips He is very smart, but he is able to deal with it without touching a leaf, and his business is getting bigger and bigger.

Seeing that the swordsman was tall and exuding indescribable handsomeness, he felt moved and picked up the ruler board to help him measure his body.

It seemed normal at first, but as I measured it, my heart began to flutter.

This swordsman has a figure that makes people jealous. She has been working in a tailor shop for so many years and has already made a name for herself. She has been accepted by many passing Jianghu people, local aborigines, officials in the government, and wealthy businessmen.

Although he is not in the Jianghu, he has come into contact with all kinds of people in the Jianghu. He has personally measured all the men with thick backs and waists and the slender women.

But she had never seen someone like a swordsman, so when she was taking the measurements, she thought that for a figure like this, the best clothes would be no clothes.

It's a pity that she can't tell the guests not to wear them.

The landlady was skilled at her work, but she was complaining about her husband who had died long ago. If he were still around, she wouldn't have to just tease and tease men to relieve her boredom.

When the lady boss was measuring clothes, she would always chat about one thing or another. She would talk about some sleazy topics and play dirty jokes. Even if she tried her best to tease the other party, she would not be able to rest comfortably.

Li Changxiao was surprised in his heart. Sure enough, he was the top scholar in his profession. He felt that the landlady was a person comparable to the cook Ding. The cook was able to untie the cow and the widow measured the clothes.

Soon, the landlady took the measurements, dipped the brush in ink, and wrote something on the paper. Finally, she took out the seal, stamped it on it, and the order was completed.

There are many steps in making clothes. Cutting is only the first step. Later, you also need to choose fabrics and so on.

The proprietress said that a batch of new goods have recently arrived in the store. They come from the Western Regions and feel very silky. Clothes made of this kind of fabric must be comfortable to wear.

But Li Changxiao didn't like it, so the landlady introduced a few more items, ranging in price from low to expensive.

Li Changxiao finally settled on an expensive piece of fabric, which made the landlady's eyes light up, thinking that this swordsman was actually a rich man.

After paying the deposit, Li Changxiao asked when he could get it at the soonest. The proprietress smiled and said that if he wanted to add more money, he would be given priority, and it would be tomorrow at the earliest.

Li Changxiao said nothing and chose to add money. He is still not short of money, although he has never been able to get rid of his habit of sleeping on the ground, and the money he carries is often coveted.

However, they were all driven away by Rakshasa in the end.

After buying the clothes, Li Changxiao left the tailor shop, smelled the smell, and went to the wine alley on West Street, where he drank two ounces of wine until the two wine gourds were full.

His white clothes were somewhat damaged by lightning. Originally, the gourd should have been turned into powder by the thunder, but Li Changxiao used his spiritual energy to protect him.

After filling the bottle with wine, the shopkeeper still wanted change, so the swordsman gave up and said no, and walked away.

Passing by a restaurant.

The aroma of braised chicken legs wafts out.

The swordsman had a lot of money to spare, so he grabbed a handful and bought two delicious sauce-flavored duck legs.

The store wraps it in oil paper.

The swordsman took out a duck leg and ate it while walking. Along the way, many children stopped and stared at the juicy duck leg.

In this world today.

Adults can't eat enough, let alone children. They swallowed their saliva and wondered what the duck leg tasted like. It should be salty, not sweet, right? But how salty is it?

Li Changxiao saw that more and more children were swallowing their saliva and looked very greedy. Helplessly, he took out some more money from his pocket and threw it into the air.

It fell into the hands of each child. There was not much money, just enough to buy a chicken leg to try.

But what surprised Li Changxiao was.

These children were obviously drooling over the duck leg, but the moment they got the money, they didn't go to buy the chicken leg, but ran home and handed the windfall to the elders at home.

Li Changxiao ignored it and walked straight out of Zhaoyu Town. There was a stone tablet at the entrance of the town. It was already a few years old. After being polished by wind and sun, the surface of the stone tablet was very round and exuded an extraordinary atmosphere.

Once, people from the neighboring town spent a lot of money to hire a gang of bandits to steal the stone tablet in the middle of the night when no one was around. Later, the deeds were exposed, and a large-scale fight broke out between the two towns.

The people of Zhaoyu Town worshipped this stone tablet as a god, because in this chaotic world, Zhaoyu Town has always lived a relatively stable life. Compared with other places, it can even be called a paradise.

And the source of all this was that the mayor picked up this huge stone engraved with "Zhaoyu" on a river, moved it back to the town, and placed it at the entrance of the town. From then on, everyone's life became better and better.

The people in the town believed that it was this huge stone that suppressed bad luck and protected this place.

However, they were not wrong to think so.

Because this huge stone engraved with "Zhao Yu" once belonged to the Panlong Sect. Although it has lost its original magic due to the depletion of spiritual energy, it may really have the mysterious effect of suppressing luck.
