Chapter Seventy-Eight: Good as Water
Liu Ruofei rode a snow-white horse, stood on a mountain pass more than three miles away from the city, and watched the mission leave. More than a dozen feet away, two young girls with long swords on their backs in the shade of the trees were scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
When the princess of the prison country travels, she usually does not have only two guards. But today is different, there is a believer, but it can reach thousands of troops, and there is nothing to worry about.
Xintianyou gave up the cyan Taoist robe that had been passed through from Yuzhi Island and dressed as an ordinary scholar. Riding a black horse with an unsightly appearance, standing beside Liu Yatou.
He walked out in a daze, taking a look at the terrain near Liucheng. In addition, seeing that everything was arranged, the pimple was also at peace and ready to leave.
The sunspots of the dog day have increased again.
Master's crow's mouth prophecy is being verified step by step.
Since the second half of last year, that is, the day he was imprisoned in Zifu, there have been small droughts of varying degrees in various places. This year's spring rains are less than usual, and there will definitely be a major drought in summer and autumn.
Liu Guo has made preparations in advance, and the loss this year should not be too great, and the people will still be able to live.
Water and grain storage have been stored, and arrangements have been made for the planting of early rice, and drought-tolerant crops such as soybeans, peanuts, wheat, corn, and sweet potatoes have been forcibly promoted.
But he can hide from the first year of junior high school, but he can't hide from the fifteenth.
Next year, glaciers at the poles begin to melt, sea levels rise, and seawater backs up. Liuguo is located inland, but the terrain is not very high. It can barely survive in the first year or two, and after that, it will be unbearable and will be ruthlessly overwhelmed.
Xintianyou's plan is to take advantage of the chaos in the world, relying on Huaguo, to control Zhou, Zeng, Song, Liu, and Yue within three years, and open up the abandoned land.
Several superpowers and super sects cannot be touched for the time being.
As for the Daomen, don't be alarmed. Even if the master is dragged onto the chariot, he will not be able to fight.
The heavens are disordered, and the common people are catastrophic.
Are the celestials ready to flee, or are they ready to save the people?
Xintianyou doesn't care much about this, and he knows the danger of probing secrets. Anyway, by then, the teleportation array was built. It can continuously send the earth's biosphere and various resources into distant star fields to open up a base area.
Liu Ruofei said:
"Brother Tian, I deliberately selected twenty young envoys from the Praetorian Guards to let them see the outside world. If you are trapped in a corner of Liucheng and are lonely and unheard, it will be difficult to achieve success after all. ”
Xintian Tour:
"Young people are hot-blooded, but they lack experience, and it's always right to exercise more. Only a hundred were selected in the first batch, which is too few to take on the heavy responsibilities ahead. Pick another 1,000 to cultivate, regardless of your origin. As long as the qualifications are good-natured, the children of commoners and slaves can be selected.
"Liucheng gathered a lot of mages and green forests, and wanted to take advantage of the great disaster to make a windfall and make oil and water, so he simply dispatched the guards to suppress it. Those teenagers can't just focus on cultivation, they need to go through the baptism of life and death...... Freedom, glory, wealth, no one will give it away, it all depends on fighting for ......"
Liu Ruofei let out a "hmm", looked at him strangely, and said in her heart that you are old-fashioned, and you are not a few years older than them. Suddenly, I remembered something again, and asked curiously:
"That day in the Star Picking Tower, when you appeared, why did you turn around slowly?"
"Ah, this one......"
Xintianyou can't explain that this is a slow-motion effect, and said perfunctorily:
"Aggravate their sense of mystery, solemnity, ritual...... Which big man did you see appearing, and it was the monkey who jumped out in a hurry? ”
Liu Ruofei laughed out loud and said angrily:
"You're just a monkey jumping out of a hurry, and you're bare-chested...... Tell me honestly, that night in the suburban cemetery, you drew a Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagram talisman in the air, what did you use? Hee-hee, Chunhua also said at the time that it was a leper dog...... What's that, enclosure ......"
The expression of the believer was like swallowing a rotten egg, and he replied depressedly:
"Ah, what do you say...... Forgot. ”
"No, you have to ......"
Liu Ruofei pursed her lips and looked coquettish. If it weren't for the inconvenience of riding on horseback, I'm afraid I would have to pounce and shake my arms.
"Hmph, if you don't say it, I'll just ...... it"
Xintianyou saw her face "threatened", and his head suddenly became as big as a fight.
When girls are familiar, how can they turn from white rabbits to tigresses? Bai Ling'er is like this, Liu Ruofei is like this...... Only Dong Shumin is not like this, oh no...... The eldest lady has always been like this, and her true colors have never changed.
He knew that if he didn't confess, he might be sad. coughed lightly twice, searched for dry intestines, and said solemnly:
"Ah...... Kindness is like water, and virtue is loaded...... Ah, the body is like a Bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror...... Tai Chi gives birth to two yi, two yi gives birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip...... Liangyi is yin and yang, heaven and earth, odd and even, rigid and soft, Xuanhuang, Qiankun, and spring and autumn...... I think that at the beginning, the two instruments were first divided, the sky was clear and turbid, and people were fooling around in the middle......"
"Brother Tian, what are you talking about?"
"Hehe, I mean, that night I used the power of the wilderness to force the goodness out of the Bodhi tree, nourishing all things without fighting for merit, and my pride soared into the sky......"
"Speak human words!"
"Pee."
Oh......
Liu Ruofei was so ashamed that she quickly lowered her head, covered her crimson face with her left palm, and raised the horsewhip with her right hand.
The god stick lowered his upper body, bared his teeth and grinned, screaming in pain.
Under the shade of the trees more than a dozen zhang away, the two sword maids of Chunlan Qiuju pretended not to see it, pursed their lips and snickered.
The whip of the red tassel inlaid with gold wire fell lightly on the young man's back, caressing it. It's not like punishment, but it seems that the girl is coquettish, chewing red mushrooms, and smiling at her lover.
Liu Ruofei lightly whipped three times, her slender hand hung down weakly, and she muttered to herself:
"If Chunhua knew that she guessed correctly, she would have to laugh for three days and three nights......"
Xin Tianyou sat up straight, silent, and looked away.
The mission's convoy was more than seven miles away from the city, and it looked like a wriggling earthworm on a ridge.
A bald-headed, ragged monk swaggered out of the East City Gate, like a ghost walking in the sun......
Liucheng is medium in size, but it holds the southeast trade route. The travel is endless, and it is extremely prosperous.
Among the four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest, the north gate leads to the direction of Yueguo, which is the main land route and is the most lively.
The South Gate leads to the Song Kingdom and is the main waterway. Recently, due to the rumors of the Yue Kingdom going south in late spring, the number of merchant ships has plummeted.
The west gate and the east gate are also depressed.
The situation was special, and the princess of the prison country issued a decree that officials were not allowed to move, and the interrogation and inspection of the guards were particularly severe.
However, they collectively became blind, and none of them saw the dervishes.
Outside the city gate, as the monks approached, a horse pulling a cart avoided the side in horror, causing the carriage to tilt. A tall bronze tripod in the carriage suddenly toppled over, and it was about to fall down and break the leg of the passer-by.
The monk smiled slightly, and waved his leaky sleeves.
The half-fallen copper tripod was tilted back into the car, as if it had been pushed back into the car by an invisible palm.
