Chapter 5: The Cultivation Method Lacking in the Life Palace!

"Young master, now you should understand the master's good intentions. ”

Shui Bo bowed and continued: "If you still want to set foot in the court, you must know that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and it is difficult to enter and get out of the tiger's den in Longtan." ”

"The lord now has an Annan Protectorate in his hands, even those ministers of the court, and even His Majesty himself, will be jealous of the lord, but...... After all, the master is old, and one day he will ...... Young master, you should understand. ”

Li Yiqi's eyes jumped slightly, Shui Bo's words were very tactful, straightforward, and even a little disrespectful, but they hit the nail on the head.

Now the Li family is supported by Li Jiu killing alone, once the towering giant tree of Li Jiu killing falls, the end of the Li family will come, but Li Yiqi knows that this incident happened more than a year later.

"One year, what can I do in one year?" Li Yiqi clenched his teeth, his face was quite hideous, his hands were on the sandalwood chair, and his nails were unexpectedly buckled with a layer of sawdust.

"I must tell grandpa that grandpa can't fight in that big battle a year later!"

Li Yiqi's eyes flickered, he looked up at Shui Bo, and was about to speak, but the next moment, a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

He is just a noble man who lives in the Hou Mansion and has no merit and no name, let alone grandpa, even a subordinate may not believe that he can predict what will happen in a year.

And if this kind of thing reaches the ears of people with a heart, it can't be said that a hat that you are bewitched by the demon outside the party and the devil can be buckled.

Not only that, Li Yiqi also knew that even if he explained everything to his grandfather in person, there would be absolutely no way to stop his grandfather, that was because his grandfather was too confident.

There is a black-armored cavalry guard known as the best in the world in the Nan'an Du Protector Army, and 70,000 people can defeat several times the enemy on the battlefield, and it is with this army that Li Jiu killed the southwestern border of Great Xia and suppressed the Southern Barbarians for decades, so that those barbarians have not stepped into the Central Plains once.

Who would believe that in a year's time, the 600,000 Annam Protectors would be defeated by those blood-drinking aliens?

"What should I do, what should I do?" Li Yiqi felt his head hurt again.

"Young Master, are you alright?" asked Shui Bo with a frown.

"I'm fine, Shui Bo, do you know which prince our Li family has taken refuge in now?" Li Yiqi held back the feeling of powerlessness in his heart, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked up at Shui Bo.

"Young master, alas—"

Hearing this, Shui Bo sighed, shook his head and said, "Young Master, I'm afraid you still don't know that the nine generations of the Li family have never participated in the battle for succession. This is also the master's wise way to protect himself, even now, the lord has never wanted to help a certain prince win the heir, but some people who have a heart don't think so. ”

"I see. Li Yiqi sighed weakly and nodded, probably understanding the current situation of the Li family.

Sometimes, the situation of not taking sides is often more serious than the consequences of standing in line, if you stand in line, you can offend one party, but you can win the welcome of the other party, but if you don't stand in line, you will often offend both sides.

This is also the reason why in the battle for succession, the princes will bury their bones here......

"It's not participating, it's not participating, the Li family seems to be in a dead end......"

Li Yiqi's face was extremely ugly, and suddenly, his heart moved, he looked at Shui Bo, and asked solemnly: "Shui Bo, you tell me honestly, if the life palace is incomplete and you can't condense your life soul, you really can't cultivate?"

He had obviously heard that the medical officer, Lord Yang, seemed to have some kind of method, but Shui Bo let him out in time. obviously doesn't want to let himself know, but it also shows from the side that Shui Bo himself must know this method.

"Young Master......"

Seeing Li Yiqi looking directly at him, Shui Bo's old, wrinkled face showed a thick wry smile.

"Uncle Shui, if one day, grandpa really falls, what will happen to the eldest aunt, the second aunt, and my younger sisters. Li Yiqi's voice is very solemn, and his eyes are even more profound, which makes people feel jealous.

"Back to the young master, the master's plan is to let the Li family withdraw from the court from now on, hide in the world, or return to the rivers and lakes. ”

"'The rivers and lakes are far-reaching, the sky is high and the earth is big', this is the old man's original words. Shui Bo replied respectfully.

Li Jiu had already thought about the future path of the Li family, that is, to give up the glory of his ancestors and choose an ordinary life to avoid those who coveted the power of the Li family.

However, is it really that simple?

"It's useless!"

A loud shout suddenly sounded in the hall, Li Yiqi suddenly raised his head, a light of hatred burst out of his eyes, and the expression on his face was a little hideous.

"Even if you hide, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. That faint monarch ordered, our Li family hid to the ends of the earth, and the whole clan would fall to the ground!"

Li Yiqi thought back to the helpless crying of his young sisters in front of Yong'an Gate, and his eyes were full of tyrannical killing intent.

"Young Master, what are you talking nonsense?" Shui Bo was frightened into a cold sweat.

Slandering your majesty is a capital offense!

"Young master, this kind of thing will never be said outside in the future, Your Majesty is a benevolent king, a holy king, and you can't tolerate such criticism. Shui Bo's body was bowed like a shrimp, with a wry smile on his face, and his back was soaked.

“......”

vented the resentment in his heart, Li Yiqi slowly calmed down, and also gasped, and was afraid for a while.

It's so dangerous, this is the Li Mansion, and not a word of what the two of them said today will be passed on. If it is outside, the big crime of raiding the house and destroying the door will not need to wait for a year later, it will happen immediately.

"I know, Shui Bo, don't worry, I'm just ......"

Li Yiqi shook his head with a wry smile, calmed down again, and secretly said in his heart that now is not the time to blame the faint king, but to think carefully about how to make the Li family avoid this catastrophe.

"Shui Bo, please tell me how to cultivate if the Fate Palace is broken. ”

Li Yiqi said with a straight face: "Don't ask why for the time being, I am free to assert this, besides, even if you don't tell me, I can find out for myself." ”

Li Yiqi's thoughts fluctuated, in his previous life, he was the best man in the world, what can he do?

When he raided his family and exterminated his family, he couldn't even beat two ordinary soldiers, and watched his family members being escorted to the execution ground one by one. If you follow the route of the previous life, after more than a year, even if you win the championship again, you will only be re-embarking on the old path of the previous life, and the ending will still not change.

If the text can't be done, then there is only one way to go!

"Young Master?!" Shui Bo was shocked, he didn't expect Li Yiqi's attitude to be so resolute, and he could hardly tolerate his own opposition.

A bitter smile came out of his heart, Shui Bo lowered his head, as if he hesitated for a moment, before he said in a deep voice: "Young master, the old slave will not hide it from you, the Heavenly Life Palace is deficient, but he can cultivate martial arts, this kind of thing has indeed happened before." ”

"Really?" Li Yiqi's eyes lit up.

"Ahh

Shui Bo sighed in his heart, lowered his head, and said slowly: "Two hundred years ago, the last of my Xia Dynasty's protector beasts returned to the ruins, the contemporary Xia Emperor was critically ill, the court was turbulent, and the world was even more plagued.......

"Young master, you are familiar with Confucian allusions, do you know who calmed down the troubled times and restored the world to peace?"

Li Yiqi's face changed suddenly, a glint shot out of his eyes, and he exclaimed: "You mean, that ...... Empress 'Martial Emperor'?!"

However, Li Yiqi's brows furrowed immediately, and his face was puzzled: "What does this matter have to do with that 'Martial Emperor'?"

......

Two hundred years ago was a rare era of chaos in the thousand-year history of the Great Xia Dynasty, because there were so many stories that happened in that era.

Whenever there is troubled times, someone will appear, but the one in the Great Xia Dynasty two hundred years ago is a little special.

It was a woman! a weak concubine who had been in the harem and served the king.

The Great Xia Dynasty was deeply solidified by Confucianism and advocated the superiority of men and the inferiority of women. Women have no status in the Great Xia Dynasty, and even if they are the queens of the world, they still can't get rid of the shackles of this ideology. It wasn't until the amazing concubine walked out of the inner courtyard of the deep palace and came to the eyes of the world

She handled the government on behalf of the king, suppressed traitors, purged cool officials, and stabilized the most chaotic court at that time.

She used powerful means to stabilize the world and expel foreign enemies, and in the turbulent era of the Xia Dynasty, this woman took the responsibility of the world on her shoulders.

There are not too many Confucian allusions to the story of that strange woman, because there is one thing that has been criticized by the world.

That is, after the first emperor drove the throne, that concubine actually ascended the throne against the sky with the name of 'Martial Emperor', and became the first empress in the Central Plains for thousands of years!

It is recorded in the book that the news came that in the land of Kyushu in the Xia Dynasty, some old Confucians who held the book of sages and sages in their hands and had been poor all their lives knelt on the ground, weeping in pain, and bluntly said that the death of the Xia Dynasty began today.

Those old Confucians complained bitterly, their words were fierce, they were excited, and they even hit the pillar and died for the country.

Soon after, letters from the land of Kyushu began to fall like snowflakes. In the capital, inside and outside the court, people were panicked, and even the three dukes of the dynasty felt powerless. Because that Martial Emperor is not only amazing, but also uses force against the sky, and his means are even more unfathomable, and the government and the opposition have been controlled by her alone.

The accession to the throne was unstoppable, and at that time, the Empress Wuhuang did another shocking thing, that is, to change the name of the country "Xia" to "Zhou"!

As soon as this move came out, many old ministers were in a hurry and vomited blood and died on the spot......

After the empress 'Emperor Wu' ascended the throne, she ushered in a period of peaceful and prosperous development for the Great Xia Dynasty, but in less than ten years, the empress passed away quietly, leaving only a 'wordless monument' and many moving stories after her death......

"This matter has something to do with that Martial Emperor?" Li Yiqi's face changed slightly.

There are not many records about the martial emperor left by Confucianism. It cannot be denied that this 'Martial Emperor' did many outrageous things, but he also made great contributions to the reform of the Xia Dynasty's national system, among them, the most far-reaching influence on later generations is to improve the status of women in the social system of Great Xia.

Who says women are inferior to men?!

Even today, women in the Xia Dynasty can still enter the school palace to study, and can even teach, become officials, and join the army.

Which is right and which is wrong, right and wrong, and there are posterity to comment......

However, there are many records about that strange woman in the wild history, and there are many romantic and elegant things that have been passed on to the people, which has been cited as a generation of good stories. But Li Yiqi knew that Shui Bo suddenly mentioned this Martial Emperor, it was not because of this, there must be other reasons.

"Young Master, the Martial Emperor himself is a person who lacks in the palace. "Shui Bo's words are generous and powerful, and he spits out word by word.

"What!"

Li Yiqi exclaimed in surprise, with an incredible expression on his face.

Shock!

It's amazing!

In the official history, the martial emperor cultivated against the sky, otherwise, how could those evil ways outside the party who were invited to assassinate her by someone with a heart be killed by her one by one, if it was not for the force against the sky, how could he lead the army to conquer the Quartet and pacify the borders of Great Xia.

Such a strong character, how can he be a person who lacks in the palace?

"Uncle Shui, don't lie to me, old man. Li Yiqi touched his nose and smiled bitterly.

"How could the old slave deceive the young master. ”

Shui Bo also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "At that time, the ancestor of the Li family, 'Li Yun', had a good relationship with His Majesty the Martial Emperor, these things, except for the sporadic records in the secret scrolls in the palace, I am afraid that only the Li family knows a little bit." ”

"I see. ”

Li Yiqi nodded, and soon a touch of joy rose to his eyebrows, that Martial Emperor can cultivate, and even become a strong person in the world, and he is in the same situation as that Martial Emperor, doesn't it mean that he also has a chance?

"Young Master, don't be too happy, even in the records of the Li family's dossier, there is no record of the reason why the Martial Emperor was able to cultivate martial arts despite the lack of the palace. ”

Shui Bo said respectfully: "But there is a paragraph in the record of the ancestors of the Li family about the reason why Emperor Wu died of illness. ”

"......" Li Yiqi frowned, but did not speak, he knew that Shui Bo would continue to tell him.

"That peerless Empress Martial Emperor was only nineteen years old when she ascended the throne, and she died of illness in less than ten years, don't you think it's strange, young master?"

Hearing this, Li Yiqi's eyes shrank slightly, and he said in a condensed voice: "Shui Bo, do you mean that the method of cultivating martial arts has a great hidden disease, and it will ...... Shorten the life span of a person. ”

"Not bad. ”

Shui Bo nodded, spit out two words heavily, and said:

"It is written in the book of the Li family ancestor that His Majesty the Martial Emperor personally said this matter to your ancestor Li Yun. That kind of cultivation method that goes against the heavens and the way is harmful to heaven and harmony, and cultivators will not live more than thirty. ”

"So young master, don't think about this matter anymore, listen to the master's words......"

After Shui Bo finished speaking, the old man's face seemed to be much more relaxed. He believed that with his young master's intelligence, he would definitely know how to weigh the pros and cons.

"No!" a very solemn voice sounded.

Li Yiqi's face was cold, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and a resolute essence burst out of his eyes.

"Young Master, why are you ......?"

'So disobedient!' Shui Bo held back in his heart and didn't say it, but the wry smile on his face became more and more intense.

"Shui Bo, what is the cultivation method of the Martial Emperor?" Li Yiqi had an extremely relaxed smile on his face, and his eyes were even more excited, as if he didn't care about the consequences.

Can only live for more than 20 years? So what? No matter how bad the result is, will it be worse than in the previous life?
