Chapter 42: Parents
The army has been vigorously reduced, and now the total number of soldiers and horses in the independent country is no more than 200,000. The state builds water conservancy and cultivates cultivated land. The people have enough food and clothing, and all industries are prosperous. The people of the country are reciting the benevolence of Emperor Datong, and there are more and more people who worship the tablet of Li Wumang's immortality.
"Isn't 200,000 horses too small?" Li Wumang listened to the words of the changed name, and was very puzzled that the army only had such a number.
"Big brother, the barbarian tribes are also united, and I have made a pact of eternal peace with the tribe. The passes that used to be connected to the tribes have been opened. There are no guards at the border gates. The territory of the original five countries is now closed to the people, and the bandits are extinct. 200,000 soldiers and horses are only a lot more. β
"When did the Savage Tribes become fully united?"
"It was a year ago. The eldest brother is the king of the tribe, like the emperor of a single country. I am on par with Qinghao, Coca and other princes. The covenant was first proposed by the tribes. β
"Well, I sing the praises of the people to finally live a peaceful life away from the sword soldiers. Li Wumang was very happy.
"There's one more thing I want to tell Big Brother SΓΉ. The name change was a little hesitant in his tone.
Say. β
"After the independence of the five countries, I consulted with several princes to find the whereabouts of my eldest brother's parents. If you find it, welcome it into the palace and support the eldest brother. So he sent people to Yizhou in the northern three states, searched in many ways, and found the village where the eldest brother lived when he was a child. I chose a painter, and according to the description of my neighbors, I painted the portraits of Ling Zun and Ling Tang, and searched for them in the territory of the independent country, but I didn't find the two old people. β
"The second brother bothered, when I was singing, Anguo was still the world of the Liu family. This time, the unification of the five countries was originally intended to find the whereabouts of my parents, but the second brother had already arranged it, so it also fulfilled my wish. "Thinking of my parents, I was depressed.
"Big brother, do you remember the situation when you were separated?"
"I remember that my parents and I were six hundred miles away from Gaozhou, where there was a small market town, and the strongman who stayed in the carriage and horse shop at night came to the strongman, and ran around in the dark and got separated. At dawn, I saw the strongman leaving, I returned to the inn, I didn't see my parents, I waited in that town for more than ten days, I had to beg all the way, and came to Gaozhou. β
"Do you remember the days?"
"The full moon was the fifteenth day of the fifth month of the twenty-first year of Qiantai. "Qiantai is the era name of Liu Sicheng's father, Liu Zhou.
"Big brother, this matter is a little strange. In June of the twenty-first year of Qiantai, someone in the northern three states saw Ling Zun and Ling Tang and went to the barbarian tribe. Sent people to look for clues to inquire around the barbarian tribe, in the tribe of King Su Maha, there is a family close to Damang Mountain, the master has seen Ling Zun and Ling Tang, saying that the couple and a few people have entered Damang Mountain. β
"How many people have entered Damang Mountain?" Li Wumang was incredulous.
"I don't know if it's a portrait problem. Yi Mingxiang took a wooden box from the bookshelf and opened it, took out two portraits from it and handed them to Li Wumang.
"Vivid, the painter is skilled. Li Wumang took the portrait and looked at it, and was impressed by the painter, it is really rare for a mortal to be able to draw a vivid portrait just by relying on the oral description of others.
"Then it won't be wrong, Ling Zun and Ling Tang went to Damang Mountain on the ninth day of June in the twenty-first year of Qiantai. β
Li Wumang was also confused for a while, even if he was the mind of an immortal cultivator in the Dan period, he couldn't think of the reason.
When he was sensible, Li Wumang lived in a small village in Yizhou. It's just that I've never walked through my relatives, and I don't know what relatives and friends I have. Every time I see my friends come back from a relative's house and bring back some snacks and playthings, I am very envious. From the words of the adults, Li Wumang knew that the Li family was not from this village. It was later to move in. When the Li family moved in, Li Wumang was only one year old.
Gaozhou's distant uncle was just the neighbor's brother, and when Li Wumang's father planned to leave Yizhou, the neighbor told the Li family the name and residence of his younger brother, saying that he could have a place to stay in Gaozhou.
Now that I think about it, although Anguo and Bai Guo fought at that time, the rest of the village did not move away, and I don't know why my parents left Yizhou.
"There is a second brother Lao. Since you have decided to enter Damang Mountain, don't look for it again in the future. Li Wumang sighed.
"Yes. "The name change also knows that there is no way to start this matter.
"Second brother, I'm going to Fengshan now, you let the prince of the original Liuzhai wait for me in Fengshan Wangfu ten days later. The three of your Yi family's ancestors and grandchildren are also present. After Li Wumang finished speaking, he stood up.
"Big brother, don't worry, there are ten days of effort, and a few princes from far away will definitely be able to arrive. "The name change sent Li Wumang out of the regent palace, and let people bring Li Wumang's jade lion.
This is because Qinghao's BMW also knows Li Wumang, shaking his head and tail very happily. Li Wumang patted the horse's head, rode up, waved to Yi Mingxiang, rode out of the city, and went to Fengshan.
......
When he arrived at the Fengshan Palace, Hei Taisui rubbed his hands when he saw it, and he was very happy. After saying some things after parting, Li Wumang went to the top of Feng Mountain and took the magic weapon.
When I walked to the bell pavilion, I saw that the bronze bell was still hanging in the hall. Going forward to the blessed land of floating light, entering the cave, seeing that it was still the same as in the past, I couldn't help but think of the first time I reached the top, and my heart was full of emotion.
sat on the honest jade couch, and it was urgent to practice the "Fire Heaven Dayou" exercises. We want to re-experience the taste of the way of cultivation in those days.
After nine weeks of practice, he received the exercises. Li Wumang was overjoyed in his heart. This is the place chosen by Ganli, and it is needless to say that it is full of aura. The bright yellow filaments in cultivation, that is, the power of prayer, have doubled compared to those in the Kulting Mountain. The filaments are dense, peaceful and supple, and the texture is not the same as in the past. It's just that after practicing this kung fu, there is a gong text with yellow.
"This place is closely connected with the people of Acura, where the independent country and the barbarian tribes meet, and the people of the two places wish in unison, and the power of prayer is naturally strong. Li Wumang didn't expect this effect, so he gave up the idea of going to the Barbarian Tribe, intending to cultivate here for a while.
In the past ten days, Li Wumang has been cultivating hard, and he has really refined a urn text left by Feng Lian, which is a "might" word, and with the blessing of the urn text, it can not only enhance the coercion and momentum, but also suppress the cultivation of the same opponent. And when he needs to show weakness, he can also hide his cultivation, even if his cultivation level is higher than his own, immortal cultivators can't detect it. Unlike the Concealment Pill, this is a complete concealment. In the face of immortal cultivators whose level is higher than their own, the Hidden Qi Pill will reveal flaws.
"With this text, the jade beetle will be difficult to escape. Although the word "Wei" could not defeat the enemy, Li Wumang was still very happy.
Coming down from the top of Maple Mountain, I saw more than a dozen people waiting on the side of the mountain road. This is the place where Hei Tai Sui sent Li Wumang up the mountain. Seeing Li Wumang appear, these people hurriedly greeted him.
There were six village owners and the three grandchildren of the Yi family, who changed their names and became old, and no one else was allowed to come.
Seeing Li Wumang, they all rushed to greet for a while, and there was a commotion. Li Wumang greeted them one by one with a smile, especially Da Hong, tears flowed out.
When he arrived at the Fengshan Palace, he sat down in the hall, Li Wumang sat down on the main seat, and asked about the state affairs of the independent country one by one.
The princes knew everything, and they did not hide their different opinions, and in general, they all admired the change of name very much. Li Wumang listened to it, and immediately expressed his condolences to the name change.
During this period, Li Wumang talked about the matter of the county pharmacy and thought that the shopkeeper should be praised.
"It is not proper to reward money with money, so that the people should not have the idea of making a fortune by luck. It's also not fair to the others, after all, His Majesty's silver is public money. The name change said first.
"That's what I mean, and the regent asked him to send one hundred and ten taels of silver. Redeem the Ganoderma lucidum. In addition, I will give you a plaque of 'medium thickness and uprightness'. β
Everyone said that with this plaque, the business of this pharmacy will naturally prosper.
An hour later, Li Wumang let these people into the study. Came here for the convenience of speaking.
"In a few days, Wumang will leave Acura, and everyone will talk about common words. I have some longevity pills, one for each of you. If you take this pill, you can prolong your life for 60 years. After Li Wumang finished speaking, he took out Dan and gave one to each person.
The people present were very excited when they received the pill. Sixty years, what a gift!
"The minister has no merit to accept it, and he is ashamed. Only Yi Shilang stood up and held Yishou Dan in both hands. A look of unease.
"Uncle Yi, what I said is a common thing, it stands to reason that you can't get this Yishou Pill, I am filial piety for my second brother, my third brother Yi Fuan's parents are also kind to me, and the king of Qinghao of the barbarian tribe is also the first king who helped me in the barbarian wilderness. There are still three pills here, and the second brother will send them quietly when the time comes. After Li Wumang finished speaking, he gave three Yishou Pills to Yi Fu'an.
"And they ate it here, so that they would not take it home and worry about their parents, wives and children. Li Wumang knew the nature of mortals, and asked a few people to take Dan.
These people ate Yishou Dan, and they didn't have the excitement just now, and they all had some melancholy expressions on their faces.
"Thinking that I have extended my life and is concerned about my loved ones? As long as you want to know me, it is fate, and it is God's will to have a long life. My heart will feel better. Li Wumang smiled slightly.
"Yi Lin is old, he thinks he is well-versed in the world, and he has fallen into the clichΓ© just now. Without a word, Yi Linmao suddenly opened. Yi Lin stood up and gave Li Wumang a salute.
"Old man, please sit down, there are many people who are loved by everyone, and even more if it is for future generations. Twenty pills of longevity for one person here are not enough. β
"It's true. Hei Tai Sui smiled.
"There is also a Dan here, which is for the second brother, and your mother is my mother. It's the same as the third brother. It's just that my aunt is going to be sad for a while. Li Wumang handed a Dan to Yi Mingxiang.
Everyone nodded, thinking that Li Wumang was not partial.
"Actually, I still have some Yishou Dan, no matter how much I come, it will not be fair, and secondly, it will be unfair to others, so at this point, I will tell the parents of the third brother and Qinghao not to disclose this matter to others. β
Everyone knew Li Wumang's difficulties at this time, and they were very grateful. If you let other princes and ministers in the country know that the emperor sent Yishou Dan, you will inevitably complain about Li Wumang. These people swore that they would not divulge this until they died.
