Chapter 380: Snake Hunting

"Let's go to Titon, the old general will go back and make more preparations, I will stay a little longer."

Li Yu sat on the soft chair and waved his hand without looking back.

"This ......"

"Yes, the old minister will live up to His Majesty's trust, and please take care of your majesty's body and watch the old minister run away from the thieves! I repeat my Datang mountains and rivers! ”

Fan Xichao hesitated slightly, but still bowed, leaving only a low but ambitious word, and left alone.

I am not worried that Li Yu will be in danger if he is left alone by a disabled person.

Now although Li Yu has abdicated, he has proclaimed himself the emperor.

On the bright side, the court and military power seem to be all attributed to the new emperor.

The new emperor is in power.

But in fact, few people know that the Tang Dynasty is still firmly in the hands of the emperor who is obsessed with Buddhist scriptures.

And it's more stable than ever.

There are indispensable expert guards around you.

After Fan Xichao left in a hurry, Li Yu sat on the soft chair alone and looked up at the sky.

Today's sky is a little overcast, and the sky is gray.

Li Yu's eyes reflected the gray sky, and he also looked a little gloomy.

A few days ago, a vision appeared in heaven and earth that shook the whole world.

How could he not know?

Today's Tang Dynasty, there are two immortal protectors who have been associated with the royal family since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, one Buddha.

One is the Master Zhizhou hidden in the Temple of Mercy and Grace.

It's just that this Master Zhizhou seems to have something unspeakable to hide, and he has never been out of the Temple of Mercy and Grace.

The other, known as Luofu Zhenren, was named the Heavenly Master of the Protector and the Duke of Yue Guo by Emperor Xuanzong during the Tianbao period.

Soon after the night banquet conspiracy against the turmoil, he returned to Chang'an.

According to this Luofu Zhenren, the vision of that day was that the gods and Buddhas above the nine nights were fighting.

Mortals are so small in the face of such great power, I am afraid that they are not even as good as ants.

It is no wonder that many heroic and strategic Terran emperors in the past generations have had to give in.

There will be a thousand years of meritorious deeds, and it is rare to have a good death.

Even after death, he has to submit to the mandate of heaven.

He even wanted to be an enemy of that being who was destined to be above the Nine Nights.

If it weren't for the big Buddha who seemed to be more majestic and lofty than heaven and earth, he finally said a word.

Even if Chen Yi was fooled into believing that he was a true Buddha and appeared in the mortal world, with Li Yi's strong heart and deep thoughts, it is estimated that he has already despaired.

Those who have three-color lotus petals in the center of their eyebrows......

If others don't know, how can he not know?

That's Master Sanzang!

Don't look at him in front of Chen Yi, he looks like he is convinced that he is a Buddha and obeys his words.

But he was an emperor after all.

The emperor's mental technique, even if he really trusts, it is impossible to really have no reservations.

The previous time he secretly intervened, and Liu Zongyuan and others, who were deposed from Beijing, were transferred back to Chang'an, which was a temptation for him.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for these people to be degraded again one by one.

Just as Venerable Sanzang said when he was leaving.

It seems that everything is fixed and difficult to change.

At this time, Li Yu was truly undoubted, leaving behind all scruples and planning to follow what Chen Yi said.

With the momentum of thunder, send troops to quell rebellions in various places and take back the military power in the world.

"How is Chun'er now, is there anything wrong?"

Li Yu suddenly spoke into the empty place.

But a voice replied: "Your Majesty, everything is normal for the emperor, I heard that he is discussing with the courtiers to reduce the power of the feudal towns in various places and return them to the imperial court." ”

"Hehe......"

Li Yu let out an inexplicable laugh.

"I, the emperor, have a bit of ambition, and I can be regarded as a wise king, but ......"

He shook his head, a grief in his eyes.

After all, it was his own son, but in order to fight for the chair, he had a great rebellion.

It's really a family without affection......

"That's it, let him do it, with the more cooperation of the generals in the army, it is just right to divert some attention from General Fan, and it is also convenient to act."

"Yes,"

The voice replied, as if hesitating: "It's just ......"

"Huh? Just what? ”

"The emperor seems to be very trustworthy recently, and there is a person next to him who is called Taiyin Zhenren, who has a bit of mana, and is quite trusted by the emperor, and recently I heard that the emperor also intends to entitle him as a national teacher......

"Oh?"

Li Yu was slightly stunned, then shook his head again: "That's it, let him go." ”

……

Years have passed in a hurry.

In one year, two new emperors ascended the throne in a row.

In the past few years, the world has been leveled and the people have lived in peace.

This is what the princes of the heavens have seen.

But I don't know that all over the world, there is smoke everywhere from time to time.

The envoys of the towns and towns, in just a few months of smoke, either handed over their power and surrendered, entered Beijing to beg and surrendered, or their heads were in different places.

Power is tempting, but few people can realize it unless they are dying.

The fate of the envoys of the towns is still the latter.

In the course of several months, the killing can be described as a lot of heads.

Although there are losses, most of the towns in the Tang Dynasty have returned to their hearts.

Few people know, such as today's soldiers and horses, there are ten **, almost all of them have entered the hands of the Emperor Li Chan, who lives in seclusion in the deep palace and recites scriptures and learns Buddhism.

……

Yongzhou.

In Datang, it is a remote place, and there are even few people who have heard of its name.

It's just that a few years ago, Mr. Hedong, who was only slightly inferior to Han Changli of the Tianxia Sect, was demoted to Yongzhou and became a small Sima, and the name of Yongzhou gradually became known in the world.

Since this Mr. Hedong was degraded here, he was depressed and sometimes made a big come.

The name of Yongzhou gradually spread from the mouth of the people in the world to the world.

One of the most popular articles is "The Snake Catcher Says".

The article is written about recent years, the field of Yongzhou in recent years suddenly abundant in a kind of "black and white" snakes, no matter people or animals, touch it and die.

I heard that although this strange snake is extremely venomous, it is extremely valuable, and many nobles have bought it with a lot of money.

For this strange snake, there are also many snake catchers who make a living by catching snakes in Yongzhou.

In fact, even if the snake is different, this Mr. Hedong will not take it to heart with a heroic spirit, and there is no need to make a big fuss about it.

Anyone with insight can see that he is borrowing things to satirize the present.

In today's reign, although there is a song of merit and virtue above the court, at the bottom of the court, there is too much suffering.

It was all applied to the people at the bottom from the top down.

For example, snake catchers born from strange snakes.

If it weren't for their livelihood, how many people would be willing to risk their lives to catch snakes?

But it is said that the wilderness of Yongzhou is actually a continuous mountain.

Strange snakes are found in these mountains.

Deep in the mountains, on top of the cliffs, there is a small village.

The village is remote and secluded, and it is located on a cliff that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

Naturally, few people knew about it before.

Nowadays, because there are many exotic snakes sold in this village, people are gradually hearing about their names.

However, no one knows what the original name was, but the villagers of this village are good at catching snakes, and they are famous for catching snakes, so everyone calls it "snake catching village".

Gradually, even the people in the village themselves called it that.

It's late autumn.

On the steep mountain walls, orange-red maple leaves are everywhere.

It can be said that the mountains are red all over the world, and the forests are dyed.

"Click...... Click......"

On the cliff, the gate of the snake catcher village, made of giant wood, was pulled by the mechanism and clicked open.

One by one, the villagers had put on their backs and held snake sticks and hairpins, and began to go out of the village to catch snakes.

The village was originally very poor, and had to pay heavy taxes every year, so that people starved to death every year.

Now that there are those snakes, the village has lived a good life for several years.

To others, it is a deadly poisonous snake, but now it has become the only source of livelihood in the village, and it can also be used to deduct taxes, which can be said to be the lifeblood of the village.

"Ah Xuan! You're going to run around again! If you can't catch a snake again, I won't give you food today! ”

"That's it! In the past, you could still collect some medicine and come back to treat the villagers, but now you don't even bother to collect medicine, and if this continues, we won't help you deduct taxes! ”

A young man, carrying a bamboo basket on his back, ran away from the villagers and ran to another mountain, followed by a fat dog.

The villagers shouted loudly one by one, and he just waved his hand without looking back: "Don't worry! I'll be back today! ”

Before the sentence was finished, the figure had already turned into the mountains and disappeared, making the villagers shake their heads one by one.

But the young man took the fat dog, and with a hook and lock, and floated to and fro on the cliffs of the mountains, and was more agile than an ape.

"Master! Master! ”

"I'm coming!"

When he reached a peak, he tore open his throat and shouted.

"Bang!"

A white jade-like finger silently appeared behind his head and slammed down.

In an instant, a large bag rose from his head at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What are you calling!"

"Who is your master?!"
