Chapter 043: The Centennial Agreement
After the 90s, growing up in a fast-growing society, Li Xian has never been hungry and can't afford to eat.
There was no one on the earth in that life, and neither did the Li family, who could eat and drink.
When I went to school, I didn't feel much when I learned these two poems, and I was starving for thousands of miles, and there were idioms with rare words, probably just thinking that they were no different from those poems, which were exaggerated for thousands of miles, thousands of miles, and thousands of years.
It wasn't until today that he really saw what it meant to be hungry for thousands of miles, Zhumen smelled of wine, and there were dead bones on the road.
The price of rice has skyrocketed, and those who hoard strange people are like whales crossing the river, and the government has not been able to come up with a decent way, and opening a warehouse to release grain is also a drop in the bucket.
Eighty percent of the disaster relief food funds allocated by the imperial court in the vicinity are not much left when they arrive in the localities.
The tragic situation and all the hustle and bustle outside, even if you go out to buy something, you can see it everywhere, Li Xian is upset, and he really doesn't know what the situation is in this strange weather and the sudden drought.
It was so sudden that everyone was not prepared.
Li Mingtong is really busy these days, and the only thing that makes him feel proud is that the olive branches of the sect are coming one after another.
The Beiyang Dynasty can ignore it, but this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the sect is not common for a small family like the Li family.
Xian'er said that she was going to the sect, so it was just right, choosing one is, the only thing to consider is which one to go?
Tang Que came back, and he said that he would rush to Qingyang City after finishing his business.
The place of meeting was the backyard of the Li family, and although his identity was sensitive, it was not known. Now the Li family is full of people coming in and out, no one cares about him, the person who enters the Li family, the most dangerous place is the safest.
"Childe, I've heard a lot about you, and it's all because of the godhead of your Li family's ancestor, Li Chaoge. ”
Li Xian sat opposite Tang Que and nodded: "Yes, everything has changed, it is no longer the way it was." ”
Tang Que smiled suddenly: "This kind of change is faster than I expected. ”
Li Xian smiled for no reason: "People are always changing." ”
Li Xian was a little surprised, this guy was completely calm this time, and he no longer persuaded him to join the Demon Gate as soon as he came up.
It's impossible to give up, is there any other moth.
Li Xian thought for a while and asked, "Why didn't you convince me to join the Demon Gate this time?" The letter before leaving, but I swore that I would not die until I reached the Yellow River. ”
"Just like you just said, people will change, no one can say what the future will become, and the twisted melon is not sweet after all. ”
When he went back this time, his father's words woke up the dreamer, and his father said that Li Xian was also an ordinary person after all, and he could not accept Shang Hongye's godhead, but he would not reject the godhead of Li Chaoge, the ancestor of the Li family.
Embarking on this road, Li Xian will find how enjoyable it is to have strength in this world; from luxury to frugality, the desire is endless, and then Li Xian will face this cruel world; with experience, he will understand how lucky he is; with Li Chaoge in one hand and Shang Hongye in the other, he can play with the whole world in applause.
One is good and one is evil, one dark and one is bright, all are one person, how unstoppable it is, ask who in the world can refuse.
Others can't refuse, and neither can Li Xian, it's just that the time hasn't come yet.
Tang Que figured it out, and it was better to let him understand it if he forced it.
Li Xian didn't say anything about Tang Que's words, but I hope he thinks so and does the same.
"Childe, there is something I need to tell you. ”
Li Xian listened carefully: "You say." ”
"Han Shiqing has already come to look for you, right?"
"Yes. Li Xian nodded.
"He's wooing you. ”
"I can see it. "How could Li Xian not see Han Shiqing's intention that day, he had done so much to the Li family, it was nothing more than that he felt that he was valuable and useful to the Beiyang Dynasty.
"Childe, have you thought about it, why did Han Shiqing want to win over a young man whose strength cannot be determined for the time being, and he is so eager?"
The only reason for the potential he has shown alone seems to be untenable, and Li Xian thought for a moment and said, "Why?"
"Childe, the recent sudden drought has come rapidly and unprecedentedly. Ordinary droughts are caused by a certain place without rain for a month or two, but this time the drought in Liangzhou was in just seven or eight days, and the crops were instantly damaged and destroyed, and the water level of the rivers dropped until they withered. There are tens of thousands of wells, and there is not a drop of water. Now it is still the rainy season in Liangzhou, but there is such a rare scene. ”
Li Xianhe had never thought about this strange place, but he was not an immortal, how could he get a satisfactory answer.
"What's the secret here?"
"Yes, that day of the turmoil of the Passing Water River, Childe also saw the behemoth monster with his own eyes, that monster is Aoki Jiao, who has practiced for more than 2,000 years, and is almost one step into a dragon. ”
Li Xian asked blankly, "You mean, it was Aoki Jiao's doing." ”
"Yes, it all stems from the agreement reached secretly between the Beiyang Dynasty and Aoki Jiao a hundred years ago. ”
"Agreement, Beiyang Dynasty and Aoki Jiao?" Li Xian's eyes widened.
"That's right, because there is something about Aoki Jiao that everyone is eager to see. ”
Li Xian blinked and said, "What?"
Tang Que's expression became more and more solemn, and he said softly: "The name of Aoki Jiao originated from Aoki Mountain, two thousand years ago, there was a master in Aoki Mountain. He inadvertently rescued a Jiao who had just been born not long ago, and kept it by his side until he broke through the Heavenly Tribulation and ascended to the Immortal Realm. After 2,000 years, Aoki Mountain was no longer known, and Aoki Jiao only occasionally appeared in the world. So many people want to find Aoki Jiao, it is nothing more than to find Aoki Mountain, so as to get the countless exercises and pills left by Mu Xuzi back then, and the method of becoming an immortal to ascend, and the Beiyang Dynasty is also one of these people. ”
"So, a hundred years ago, the Beiyang Dynasty and Aoki Jiao reached an agreement, and the bargaining chip that Aoki Jiao paid was naturally the location of Aoki Mountain, so what did the Beiyang Dynasty have to pay?"
"Childe, you live in Qingyang City, you should also know that Qingyang City's official sacrifice to the river god regardless of the cost, in fact, the sacrificial items are all needed by Qingmu Jiao. This Aoki Jiao has been close to two thousand years, and has never been able to break through, feathering into a dragon, he needs countless resources to achieve his goals, and these resources Beiyang Dynasty has everything. ”
Li Xian understood: "To each his own, he takes what he needs." ”
"Yes. ”
"Then why did the Beiyang Dynasty do this? Under the protection of the sect, why should the location of Aoki Mountain?"
Tang Que's face became a little solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The Beiyang Dynasty has a grand national fortune, and in the past few hundred years, he has been a Ming monarch, and he is all eloquent. The secular dynasty provides the sect with immortal cultivation resources and talents, and the sect provides shelter for the secular dynasty. Such a pattern has been formed for tens of thousands of years, and the Beiyang Dynasty is naturally unwilling to send people under the fence, and its fate is never in its own hands, and it has no right to speak in front of the sect. In fact, for tens of thousands of years, it is not that there have been no secular dynasties that have rebelled against the sect, and without exception, these people have failed. The strength of the sect, with tens of thousands of years of heritage, cannot be shaken by the secular dynasty at all. As a result, the emperor of the Beiyang Dynasty at that time was ready to take a shortcut. ”
Li Xian seemed to think for a while: "Aoki Mountain's immortal cultivation method?"
Tang Yu nodded and said: "Once you become an immortal, you will have the capital to compete with the sect, and it is a shortcut to ascend to the sky in one step." ”
Rising up to resist and wanting to control his own fate, the choice of the Beiyang Dynasty is also reasonable, Li Xian said questioningly: "Since the two parties have reached an agreement, Aoki Jiao wants to make such a big move in the Passing Water River, which can be regarded as a warning." Later, there was a severe drought in Liangzhou, and further action, so to speak, the talks between the two parties collapsed. ”
"So, Childe, this is the true intention of Han Shiqing's old fox. ”
Li Xian's mind turned quickly, he immediately figured it out, and said in surprise: "The agreement between the Beiyang Dynasty and Aoki Jiao must have been reached in secret, Aoki Jiao exerted great power in Qingyang City, and the Beiyang Dynasty did not dare to go to the sect for assistance." ”
"Looking at the entire Beiyang Dynasty, it is obvious that with only one palm to break the river, you can deal with the son of the Ten Miles Open Heavenly Gate. ”
Li Xian sat on his chair and muttered, "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" ”
