Chapter 405: Li Shiyi
The Dai Kingdom is no different from the feudal society that Li Guanxuan knew in the past.
Rise and fall, the people are suffering.
Although the Dai Kingdom was relatively strong in the Three Kingdoms, because the emperor wanted to live forever, he consulted those Qi refining cultivators about the method of cultivating immortals.
This also led to an increase in the amount of money needed, but how could the treasury have so much money to help the emperor cultivate the Tao, so those who wore official hats could only change the law to exploit the people at the bottom.
And those Qi refining cultivators are equivalent to the "nuclear weapons" in the Three Kingdoms, about ninety and one hundred years old, and they belong to the ancestor level figures in the sect family.
If there is no spiritual energy leakage on the side of the Ancient Tantric Sect in a few years, these Qi Refining Ancestors will basically die.
With the outbreak of spiritual energy, these Qi refining cultivators will undoubtedly break through the bottleneck.
As for whether they can step into the foundation building, it depends on their personal creation and chance.
"Hey, that little monk is here again."
Since Li Guanxuan gave the little monk a meal, whenever a thick layer accumulates in front of the house gate due to heavy snow, the little monk will automatically come over and clean it up, and then leave silently.
It seems to be to repay the kindness of that meal.
"Here in the capital of Daiguo, many people have frozen to death."
Under the cover of Li Guanxuan's divine thoughts, every move of everyone in the capital, including the imperial palace, could not escape Li Guanxuan's eyes.
There are frozen bones on the road.
Up to the mansions of officials and nobles, it is still singing every night, which is in stark contrast to the cold winter of the outside world.
Li Guanxuan naturally won't meddle in this kind of thing, at most, someone will come to the door to beg, and he will give him something to eat if he can.
In such a cold winter, a fast meal is enough to save a life.
"That little monk is a person with a conscience, after eating this meal, he didn't spread it to the outside world, otherwise our house would be lively." Chang Hongchen said lightly.
At this time, if anyone is a good person, the threshold will definitely be broken by a group of people.
The Emperor's Christmas has passed, and there are many people who freeze to death and starve to death on the streets and alleys.
If these people knew that Li Guanxuan's mansion was very kind, in order to survive, they would definitely dare to smash the door.
The little monk obviously knew about this situation, so every time he got a meal, he would hide it silently, and then run to a no-man's land to eat it quickly.
On this day, the little monk still ran to the door of the house and knocked lightly, holding up one hand and holding the broken bowl in the other, on which red chilblains could be seen.
Li Guanxuan opened the door, but this time he didn't give the little monk a meal, just looked at him calmly.
Seeing this, the little monk's heart suddenly sank.
But he didn't have any complaints, he had already eaten many meals at this house.
The little monk bowed deeply, recited the Buddha's name, and turned to leave.
"Come in."
Li Guanxuan called out to stop him.
The little monk was stunned for a moment, and then said cautiously: "Is there a shortage of miscellaneous servants in the Engong Mansion?" ”
The little monk has been wandering outside for many years and understands that there is no free meal in the world.
What's more, those high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the mansion avoid "little beggars" like him, thinking that people like him will only bring bad luck to the mansion.
Therefore, the little monk did not dare to eat and drink in vain, and proposed that he could do odd jobs for the Engong Mansion in exchange for food.
"A monk who recites sutras and recites the Buddha is also willing to be a servant?"
Li Guanxuan led the way in front, and the back of the great shore made the little monk look a little dazed.
At this moment, Li Guanxuan is like a bright sunshine in winter for the little monk.
This year's cold winter is not necessarily cold.
"If you can have something to eat, you can do anything."
The little monk hurriedly followed and said eagerly.
Li Guanxuan smiled, but didn't say anything more.
The little monk didn't keep asking questions, obediently followed behind Li Guanxuan, and soon stepped into a courtyard.
The courtyard is full of purple and red, and a hundred flowers are vibrant.
The little monk's eyes were full of shock.
How can there be so many flowers blooming in the cold winter wax moon?
Moreover, since he entered this mansion, the chill on his body has disappeared, as if it has come to summer.
"There is a monastery on the West Mountain, why don't you go over and take refuge in Buddhism."
"I've been there, but the temple is already full and doesn't accept people."
"It's not too full, I think there are still a lot of pilgrims over there."
"I don't want me because I'm too young to do a lot of work."
The little monk replied honestly, and there was no complaint or indignation in his words, because he knew very well that in the current environment, it was not easy for anyone to live.
"It seems that you are not a sincere believer in Buddhism." Li Guanxuan said with a smile.
The little monk also replied honestly: "If you are not a monk, sometimes you can't go to the street to ask for food, so you can only take refuge in Buddhism and do good deeds." ”
Only a monk can justifiably fast.
Li Guanxuan laughed and asked again: "Do you drink wine and eat meat?" ”
The little monk looked at Li Guanxuan in surprise, not knowing what Engong was thinking, but he still nodded:
"What to eat, don't pick."
Soon, the little monk saw the two beautiful scenery in the pavilion, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.
Engong abducted the queen mother in the palace?
But he hadn't heard of two queens in the palace!
"Look again, be careful to gouge out your eyeballs." The Realm Demon Emperor frightened.
When the little monk heard this, he was frightened and hurriedly knelt on the ground, his forehead pressed against the ground, his small body trembled slightly, and he was very frightened in his heart.
He had to eat a lot outside, and he was coldly watched and beaten by others, and he knew very well that the people in this mansion were by no means ordinary rich and noble, at least he was also a master who was proficient in martial arts.
Martial Arts Grandmaster, the status of the Dai Kingdom is extremely high, only under those few "immortals".
Li Guanxuan's palm was raised slightly, and a gust of wind brought the little monk up, and asked:
"What's your Buddha name?"
"The shaved head, the clothes and shoes that I went to find, there is no Buddha name, and there is no name, if the engong does not dislike the boy, you can give the boy a name, so that it is convenient to call."
"In the future, you are willing to let the boy betray Buddhism?"
"Yes, Engong gives the kid a bite to eat, and his life is Engong's, and Engong will do whatever I want."
The little monk is very knowledgeable and speaks the truth.
He himself knows that if he dares to be sloppy now, a pair of eyes will really be gone.
"How old are you?"
Li Guanxuan patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to come to the table to eat.
"Exactly eleven."
"My surname is Li."
"Thank you for the name, the kid will be called Li Shiyi in the future!"
As soon as the little monk sat down, he immediately got up and took a step back, kneeling down and kowtowing to Li Guanxuan.
Li Guanxuan said with a smile: "Kowtow is not an apprentice, I don't want to accept you as a disciple, I just reward you with food, if you are really good in the future, you may be able to be a registered name under my door." ”
"Eleven remember!"
The little monk Li Shiyi kowtowed heavily, his eyes were slightly red, but he also held back his tears and did not flow out.
"Eat."
"Yes."
When Li Shiyi served the table, looking at the dazzling array of delicacies in front of him, his eyes were about to be dazzled.
"Eat as much as you can, just don't hold on." Li Guanxuan said with a smile.
Li Shi nodded, looking at Engong's appearance when he was eating, and planned to follow suit.
But when he noticed that Engong's two wives did not drop the chopsticks, he didn't dare to grab the chopsticks in front of him, and sat obediently and waited.
Chang Hongchen and the Realm Demon Emperor didn't say anything, and the two women ate a few bites, and then put down their chopsticks.
This also made Li Shiyi dare not eat more.
"Eat, they're not interested in this kind of food, and if you weren't here, they probably wouldn't have eaten a bite." Li Guanxuan said with a smile.
The Realm Demon Emperor smiled and said, "It's a little guy who understands the rules, work hard, and strive to be stronger than the immortals." ”
"Uh-huh."
Li Shiyi nodded obediently, but he didn't dare to say anything nonsense.
Mixed stronger than the gods?
In his eyes, it is enough to have a bite to eat if you can mix.
After the meal, Chang Hongchen was cultivating in the house, and the Realm Demon Emperor was pruning flowers and plants in the garden, in her words, this is called cultivating sentiment, and maybe she can compete with Li Guanxuan here.
After all, when flowers are beautiful, people are more beautiful, and it is easy to make people fall in love.
"I've taken care of the leftovers by myself, there's your clothes in the wing, go back and try it yourself."
After Li Guanxuan finished eating, he gave an order, and then walked to the side and sat down.
"Thank you."
Li Shiyi didn't find out where Engong came up with a book.
However, Li Shiyi looked at the table full of delicacies, there were a lot left, and it would be a pity to pour them out.
If you take it out and distribute it to the homeless, it will obviously not be enough to eat, and it is easy to cause trouble.
Pregnant!
Li Shiyi cleaned up the dining table first, then poured all the food into a bucket, and then ran to boil water and take a bath, and then returned to the wing room to change into new clothes.
Li Shiyi's face was full of smiles, and he looked back and forth in the bronze mirror as he put on his new clothes, and his heart was happy.
Then, Li Shifei tried his best to take out the food in the bucket, put it on the cart, and carefully pushed it to the garbage dump.
The current garbage dump is just ash and feces, and what can be eaten has long been emptied.
Li Shiyi struggled to lift the bucket down, then poured it into the trash can, reached out to pull off some of the residue inside, and finally put the bucket back on the cart, and pushed it away without looking back.
Soon, the smell of the food overflowed, and even the smell of feces here was difficult to hide, attracting many homeless people to rush to grab food.
Li Shiyi didn't care whether they would fight because of food, anyway, he did what he had to do, dealt with the leftovers, and passed the level in his heart, and the result had nothing to do with him.
After returning to the house in a hurry, Li Shiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then he had a sad face.
If he does this kind of thing too much, the homeless people will still stay in front of the house......
When the time comes, he will be angry, and he may be kicked out.
At this time, Li Guanxuan didn't know where to come from, and said to Li Shiyi:
"Take this bag of silver, go back and buy vegetables and meat...... By the way, literacy? ”
Before Li Shiyi could react, there was an extra heavy bag of silver in his arms.
It was the first time for Li Shiyi to get so much silver, and his eyes were full of shock, but he also hurriedly responded to Li Guanxuan and shook his head.
"Let's go to the study."
Li Guanxuan also spoke very briefly.
Li Shiyi was full of anticipation, and this was the first time he could read a book.
Shen Zhengshi.
Li Shiyi reluctantly put down the book, got up and said, "Engong, I'm going to the vegetable market." ”
Li Guanxuan nodded, and didn't tell him what to buy.
Li Shiyi didn't take all the silver out, but estimated it in his heart, and according to the standard of the lunch meal, he would go out after calculating the silver.
Fortunately, the house is not far from the vegetable market, and after buying vegetables, Li Shiyi hurried back to cook.
For dinner, the two wives of Engong didn't come over to eat, Li Shiyi didn't dare to think about it, after all, he was the only servant in this huge mansion.
After the meal, Li Shiyi still poured a lot of unfinished meals into the bucket, pushed the cart and went out.
This time, he changed places to take out the "garbage".
"Something interesting."
When the Realm Demon Emperor noticed that Li Shiyi hadn't gone to the garbage dump at noon, a smile appeared on his face.
This Li Shiyi is still a little cautious, and it is similar to Li Guanxuan.
……
In the following days, Li Shiyi read and read in the study in his spare time, and when it came to dinner, he would obediently run to buy vegetables and come back to cook, then pour it into a bucket and push the cart out.
However, as he did this more and more, many homeless people targeted him and even followed him, wanting to see which mansion he was from.
On that day, Li Shiyi turned around, and he didn't even want rice buckets and carts, so he got rid of those homeless people and returned to his house.
Of course, in order to avoid trouble, Li Guanxuan will also secretly erase the traces.
Since then, Li Shiyi has not gone to take out the "garbage" every day, but only goes out every few days, and which garbage dump to go to depends on the mood.
A year later.
Li Shiyi was surprised to find that he already had the ability to remember by eye, he basically knew all the words, and his physical fitness was many times better than before.
On this day, Li Shiyi ran to the next house and practiced martial arts with the daughter of the house.
Half a year ago, when Li Shiyi went out with a cart, he met the old man and the young lady in the house next door, and there were a lot of interesting stories from the garbage dump recently.
It is said that it is on the house next door, but in fact, it is also a few streets away, and this mansion is not an ordinary mansion, but a Hou mansion.
"Li Shiyi, you have only practiced martial arts for half a year, and you spend less time on martial arts every day, why is your physical fitness stronger than mine?"
The daughter of the Hou Mansion looked at Li Shiyi's tough body and bones, and even the martial artists who taught them were more surprised.
Li Shiyi was stunned: "I don't know." ”
"Do you not know, or do you not want to say? My grandfather said your husband was amazing. Miss Qianjin raised her eyebrows.
Li Shiyi pondered for a moment, and then said, "Mr. said that there are three major items to improve physical fitness. ”
"What are the three other things to improve physical fitness? What is it? ”
It was also the first time that the martial artist had heard of this, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Do you really want to say?"
"Speak quickly!"
"Less salt, less sugar, young women......"
