Chapter 1: Half of the Taoist Book

Next Chapter

The roof of the Yellow Crane Tower.

Mahogany furniture, peony screens, a table of eight immortals swinging horizontally in the center, on which a few small dishes are placed, and a pot of jade wine rests on the side, although simple but ingenious.

Li He glanced at the sea of clouds outside the window and took the lead in sitting on the chair.

With nothing to do, he took out a badly damaged ancient book, first carefully wiped the folds, and read it carefully.

After a stick of incense, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Pushing the door in, a girl with long hair hanging down her shoulders, picturesque eyebrows, and a bright mouth came in, about eighteen years old.

Sweet and charming, delicate and delicate.

It's just that his face is very cold.

He was followed by a little maid in colorful clothes, respectful.

"You are the son of the Li family that the matchmaker said?"

"Qingzhu, clean bowl!"

Behind her, the maid rinsed the dishes and chopsticks with hot water, and then sandwiched a few pieces of osmanthus cake into the lady's bowl.

Only then did Li He put down the broken book and began to look at the woman in front of him.

Indeed, the flower looks like the moon, and the face can be broken, which is the most delicate and tender age.

If you say that he is on this trip, it can be simply summed up, it is a blind date.

It's just that......

"Do you have a Biyun horse to ride?"

"Nope. Coming on foot. ”

"I heard that your family lives on Liuli Street?"

"It's just staying at my uncle's house for the time being, and I'll leave in a few days."

"What about the Li family?"

"The fire is all up to my uncle's relief, and I have given him the title of Xiangrui to his old man, replacing some entanglements and fiefs."

The little lady, who was already a little impatient, flashed a little interested.

"Oh, are you going to buy a belongings in Li Town?"

The girl said with a smile, just a hundred spirit coins, and it has cost a lot today. The fiefdom deed is also in Kuchaling, which is naturally not as good as Li Town. ”

Seeing that the other party's face was gradually cold, Li He moved his mouth, but did not speak again.

The little lady stopped talking, and the white and tender legs exposed at the hem of her skirt also quietly retracted, and she just tasted the wine and food elegantly.

After half the incense was burned, the girl was full of wine and food, and her smile was revealed, but she was slightly apologetic.

"I'm really sorry, Li Gongzi, you also know that my Zhen family is based in Li Town, and there are several shops, which costs a lot."

"If you want to leave, we are not suitable."

Li He nodded, a little lonely, and asked in a low voice.

"Indeed, I am not suitable for Miss Zhen now. Can you give Xiaosheng some objects as a souvenir, if you go to the fiefdom in the future, you also have a thought. ”

Seeing Li He's sad look, Miss Zhen was expressionless, took out a sachet from the maid's waist and threw it on the table.

"Na, this is my personal sachet, you can take it if you want."

After saying that, he got up and left, without any souvenirs.

Even as soon as he left the cubicle, the voice of the maid of disdain was heard.

"Don't take care of your identity, are you worthy of Miss? Dare to ask for personal things, it's really a toad who wants to eat swan meat. ”

"Don't say that, after all, he is an auspicious person, he can lead the fief, and if he is lucky in the future, he can return to Li Town."

"Miss, you have to think twice, he just inherits Jiupin Xiangrui, a purple jade gourd, and it is far from Zhao Gongzi, Wang Gongzi and others......"

The sound gradually blurred, and the private room of the Yellow Crane Tower became clearer.

Hey, a good maid's personal sachet, another fish after Zhao Gongzi and Wang Gongzi.

Li He's calm face inevitably shook a little, the world is right, but such humiliation is too much.

It's not because of the fire in his home that he burned the ancestral treasure, the Bapin Xiangrui Li Qingzhu who had lived for 50 years.

led to the complete decline of the Li family, and Li He stepped down from the position of patriarch and was forced to give way to his uncle Li Chan.

He was driven out of Li Town and went to the fiefdom of Kuchaling.

Of course, at this time, Li He was no longer the original, but he didn't expect to be fired for working overtime, drink more wine, and wake up here.

This is an ancient land like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but all kinds of agriculture and commerce are extremely developed, and more importantly, it has Taoism.

There are only two types of Taoism here, auspicious and bad omen.

Auspicious, the cultivation of staple food and medicine, and the production of mineral spirits are the basis of all life. Of course, Gao Pin Xiangrui seems to have the effect of protecting the country's fortune and protecting the common people, this is a rumor.

At the most basic, the people need all kinds of auspicious auxiliary production to grow food. For example, if there is no nine-grade auspicious rui such as wheat ear spirit, the yield is only one-tenth.

For example, Li He's current purple jade gourd, as well as Li Qingzhu before, are used to produce gourds and green bamboo. With the addition of auspiciousness, the effect of gourd Chinese medicine juice has been greatly improved. Green bamboo is a specialty of Li Town, which can be made into bamboo, which is one of the best choices for the transmission of Dao Qi by human-level magic weapons.

Although the Li family has cultivated it for generations, it is mostly a nine-grade auspicious green bamboo, which can only live for 10 years, and its effect is far inferior to that of Li Qingzhu.

Xiangrui is produced, mostly by planting the same kind of crops, or breeding mineral deposits, which is very rare. Like hundreds of thousands of people in Li Town, which controls hundreds of thousands of acres of land, it is said that there are only a dozen eight-grade auspicious rui and one seven-grade auspicious rui on the surface.

As for Jiupin Xiangrui, there may be more than 100 of them, but they are also very precious.

Therefore, he took the purple jade gourd to Kuchaling to open up the wasteland, and also provoked criticism among the clan, saying that it was a pity for this auspiciousness.

However, the purple jade gourd was a private property left to him by his parents, and he couldn't take care of it.

Speaking of which, we have to talk about another way, the bad omen.

Different from cultivating spiritual mines, bad omen is the dark side of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, gathering resentment, killing, hatred, disasters and other calamities into one, turning into a path of death.

More than the mountains and forests, you can also be in the middle of the city, if you just look at the appearance, or a piece of paper, or a handful of sand. Paper can eat people, and sand can bury things.

Its number is innumerable, and the harm is great, but it is restrained by auspiciousness. Therefore, even if you only have nine auspicious products, you can also have a place in the town.

Of course, the dangers of bad omens would be a different story if they were used elsewhere.

A cultivator with auspicious rui can merge the bad omen into his own body and practice, not only harmonizing yin and yang, but also mastering the extremely lethal Dao method.

After all, today is not peaceful, and the countries are fighting and strife.

Li Zhen is just a place under Shanhe County, and Shanhe County belongs to the ancient capital Daoguo. Fortunately, Shanhe County is backed by snow-capped mountains, and it is extremely remote, but it is also peaceful.

It's just that within the county and state, the power is overturned, the Taoist system is loose, and they annex and balance each other, and there are hidden mysteries.

This time to Kuchaling, although temporarily to avoid the chaotic family, but also weak, with the nine auspicious purple jade gourd, it is difficult to deal with the dangerous wilderness.

Therefore, today's blind date in the Yellow Crane Tower is not just a slaughtered dinner, perhaps the former had some admiration for Miss Zhen's family and was willing to be a fish raised by her, and he who had been devastated by the new era would not be deeply involved.

Li He took out a lilac gourd, then picked up the sachet given by Miss Zhen, gently unscrewed the lid of the gourd, and poured out a few drops of crystal clear spiritual liquid.

The gourd liquid drips on the sachet, and there is little change at first, just a "sizzle" corrosive sound.

Seeing this, Li He poured out a few more drops in pain. You must know that this spiritual liquid is the root of the purple jade gourd, and only one drop is brewed every month.

Not only can it catalyze the medicinal properties of the gourd, but it also has a special effect of neutralizing the curse of bad omen.

"Could it be that I'm wrong?"

Just as he was thinking, the antique sachet in his hand suddenly became cold, the color gradually faded, and the paleness permeated it, turning into a palm-sized paper figure.

The blush dotted on the irregular round face, a few yellowed silk threads hung on the top of the head, the two ink-dotted black eye bones turned, and the mouth was like a horizontal line cut by a cutting knife, facing Li He, smiling slightly.

If you look closely, her appearance is a little similar to that of the maidservant.

Even in the daytime, Li He only felt a chill behind his back, and controlled his arm with great will to avoid throwing it out.
