Longevity begins with Orion.

Chapter 229. 227. The Two Tribulations of Yin and Yang
In the golden autumn of October, the sky is covered with warm snow, and the golden sea of ​​wheat is covered with white snow.

People cheered.

The old man's frown relaxed;
People who are going to sell their children this year if they can't survive the winter are crying loudly with their ignorant dolls, crying tears of joy and no need to separate their children;
Struggling on a long journey, thinking about whether to lose dignity and conscience to do some shady activities in exchange for enough money, the men suddenly have more choices. They see the harvest of wheat fields and receive the long-lost letter from home, and suddenly think go home.

A chivalrous man in white, holding a bamboo hat and carrying a seventh-grade long knife, walked through the countryside and small streets.

He had traveled a long, long way, and finally saw that the "mood" on this land had changed.

He also heard that some gentry conspired to "grab all the grain and hoard it", but many high-level forces in the local area were putting pressure on them, and those pressures made the "little devils" below have heart but no courage.

Of course, these all come from Li Yuan's "oppression".

In the past ten years, he has not only promoted Nuanxue, but also passed down a sentence through his own network: A grain of grain from the people cannot be taken away, but if taken away, one must be punished.

After a few times of "hundred times and thousand times of punishment" and killing chickens to scare monkeys, this system that is completely oppressive to the powerful has been implemented in this way.

The queen mother supported him.

The Lotus Church supported him.

Empress Yan Jun supported him.

Gu Xuejian, the master of the Shenmu Palace, took the lead and led all major forces to support him.

Even those who don't support it don't dare to disobey it.

What's more, warm snow seems to be good for everyone, so no one will refuse.

No one has ever been able to twist so many forces together to carry out one thing only for the common people at the same time.

The point is, no one knows Li Yuan at all.

At most, those who are at the top can vaguely perceive that there is an invisible big hand behind this weird tacit understanding.

Li Yuan walked for a long time, watching the changes in the world. During the period, he also helped farmers harvest wheat, and assisted the government in arresting some bandits. The blood stained by the blade was innocent.

He finally smiled, and felt a kind of happiness from the bottom of his heart.

He suddenly understood a truth, his chivalry is not "robbing the rich and giving to the poor", nor "killing the villains", or even "serving the country and the people", but "revitalizing the family".

This family is not only those warriors, but also the common people, and all kinds of orders.

The dynasty can be changed, but the common people are the first.

What is the head of the common people?
People eat for food.

Li Yuan took off his white clothes and changed into dusty clothes.

White clothes get mud easily, but gray clothes don't.

Feeling the changes of the ancestors in his body, he continued to obediently help harvest the wheat in the world, helping to quietly resolve some unfair and insidious things that he could see.

Today, there are eighteen thousand Dao ancestral scripts in his body.

He went to the Sword Palace to harvest every year, and naturally he accumulated more and more.

These ancestral scriptures were originally complicated and chaotic.

But under the influence of his bright state of mind at the moment, these ancestral scriptures are all changing.

The ancestral book was originally a collection of thoughts, but because it came from others, even though it was swallowed by Li Yuan, it was never digested.

Now it's digesting.

Just like the three methods of "Kurong", "Changqing" and "Huiliu" in Shenmu Temple, only "Kurong" can step into the third rank;
It is also just like the three skills of "Earth Fire Wandering Around", "Demon Fire Surrounding the Heart", and "Heavenly Fire Burning Forest" in the Holy Fire Palace. ;
Among the three paths of Li Yuan's "tyrant sword", "jue sword" and "demon sword", finally one of them began to change, and that was: Tyrant sword.

Knights travel thousands of miles, not for fame and fortune, but for the sake of bringing light to the world.

The whole autumn passed.

The light snow in December is falling again.

The new year is coming.

Xie Yu not only broke through the fifth rank, but also completely consolidated the realm.

The abundance of qi and blood provided by the third-grade meat field made her practice unimpeded.

After that, she needs to go out to practice in order to get out the original blood as soon as possible.

In the evening, when she got up from under the apricot tree, she saw Li Yuan who had returned.

The former swordsman in white has become the swordsman in gray.

The swordsman in gray was laughing.

Xie Yu also laughed, and then asked: "You seem to be very happy today, what's the happy event?"

Li Yuan clenched the knife again and said, "My heart is not disturbed anymore."

"No more chaos?" Xie Yu was a little surprised.

Over the years, her ears have become calloused every day when she hears her man say "disturbed heart", and now it has suddenly come to an end, it feels amazing.

Li Yuan didn't see any movement, he suddenly let go of the handle of the knife, but the long knife was out of its sheath, floating around him lightly in a circle.

This is a Seventh Grade Knife, not a connection between a person and a spiritual weapon.

The only thing that can support this whirling knife is the unique domain power of the fourth rank.

"You have returned to the fourth rank!" Xie Yu showed joy.

Li Yuan smiled and nodded.

But although he nodded, he was still not sure.

The [-] ancestors in his body have completed the unification, and his panel also shows that he has reached the "fourth-rank ancestral realm", which means that he has indeed entered the fourth-rank, but he has not yet understood the reason .

And although he stepped in, it still needs time to consolidate.

Xie Yu also stretched her face, her eyes became crescent moons with a smile.

But she didn't dare to ask more questions, because she still remembered the hundred-foot-long golden giant that appeared behind her man. Compared with his strength, even if her man broke through the fourth level, there might still be a gap.

If compared with his past, this is still a blow, right?

Li Yuan didn't show it again, but said: "Since I can hold the knife again, then I will continue to pursue a stronger way of the knife."

Xie Yu looked at him happily, suddenly put his arm on his arm, put her cheek intimately on his shoulder, and said, "It's the end of the year, and there is today's temple fair in the Yanjun Empress Temple. Are you going?"

Li Yuandao: "Okay."

He originally planned to take Xie Yu to the temple in a carriage, but when he saw that the road outside was packed with people, he gave up the plan and took the waterway instead.

Not far from the door, Yinxi goes north by boat, and it takes more than half an hour to reach the foot of the temple mountain.

There were many people in the boat, Xie Yu sat next to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan looked around, there were merchants, knights, some went alone, and some with their families.
In the boat, people are chatting, saying things like life is starting to get better.

And as the boatman said "here", the bamboo poles hit the shore, the boat docked, and people disembarked.

Xie Yu held Li Yuan's arm and walked at the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, strings of festive red lanterns are shining.

There are hawker restaurants on both sides, but every place is full of people.

The voices are noisy and the fireworks are curling up.

Behind the cart in the butcher shop, there is a big man with a swollen face wielding a knife, chopping and finely slicing, and then handing it over to the waiter to make roasted meat; There are more than ten different kinds of cakes; after drinking the fruit in the tea shop, there are pretty girls busy.

Xie Yu looked at several restaurants and thought they should be good, but unfortunately there was a long queue outside, and it looked like she didn't know how long the wait would be.

The two came to the most popular mountain building again.

The relationship between restaurants that can be built near the temple is very good.

Xie Yu looked around on tiptoe and saw the word "嘅武". She couldn't help but sigh and said: "There are so many people here every day. I have been here more than a dozen times and I have never eaten anything here."

Li Yuan smiled.

Fifty years ago, he never thought that Hengwu Restaurant would look like what it is today.

Now, behind the scenes of this restaurant is the court case, and to put it bluntly, it is the Empress Yan Jun.

It is also because of Yan Jun Niangniang that such a large restaurant and the subsequent chamber of commerce are actually engaged in charity, which is unbelievable when you think about it.

At this moment, of course, he could immediately vacate the branch of the Hengwu Restaurant built on the mountain with a single word, and then greet him and Xiao Yu'er with the largest scale.

However, he didn't want to do that.

When the two were hesitating in front of the door, there was a sudden cry from the tall building.

"Brother Simon! Sister-in-law!!"

Li Yuan looked up, amused.

Isn't this iron killing?
Sitting next to Tie Sha were Fang Jianlong, Zhao Chunxin, Zhu Qiaoer and her son, who were here for a group meal.

Tie Sha stood up, raised his hands, and shouted: "Brother Ximen, come up and gather."

Xie Yu was no stranger to Tie Sha, but she only looked at Li Yuan as if this was a friend her man had accidentally met in this town.

Li Yuan looked at Xie Yu and said, "Go up and sit down?"

Xie Yu nodded.

The two left, but were stopped by Xiao Er in front of the door.

The waiter said: "You two, the seats are full, so I'd better trouble you to line up if you want to enter the building."

Xie Yu said, "There are friends up there."

Xiao Er said: "There are friends, but the seats are limited. If you two go up, the friends of other people may also follow in."

Xie Yu became angry.

Li Yuan took her hand, waved to Gao Tie Sha again, and said: "There are many people today, let's meet again next time."

Later, before Xie Yu got angry, Li Yuan pulled her away, then bought two glasses of sweet-scented osmanthus drink on the roadside, and drank while walking.

In the Hengwu restaurant, Zhu Qiaoer didn't feel anything, after all, it seemed normal to her.

But Tie Sha, Fang Jianlong, and Zhao Chunxin looked like they had seen a ghost.

Immediately, Zhao Chunxin uttered a foul language: "Fuck, I really can't believe my eyes."

Fang Jianlong was also shocked and said: "Yes, he was actually stopped by the staff of Hengwu Restaurant."

Tie Sha couldn't help but said, "I really saw a ghost."

Xiaoyun said: "There are a lot of customers in Hengwu Restaurant, so it's normal to be stopped outside. If Palace Master Zhao hadn't asked someone to line up in advance today, I'm afraid there wouldn't be a place for us."

Tie Sha laughed loudly, rubbed the boy's head again, and said, "Look, look, this kid is so right."

far away
Xie Yu was so angry that the sweet-scented osmanthus drink no longer tasted good. She stamped her feet as she walked, muttering: "My second sister is..."

Li Yuan covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Why are you so angry?"

Xie Yu stamped her feet fiercely: "A dog looks down upon others!"

Li Yuandao: "But they didn't let others in."

"I" Xie Yu was at a loss for words and said angrily, "You bullied me!!"

Li Yuan went to hold her hand.

Xie Yu shook her hand and said, "Don't touch me! I'm angry!"

Li Yuan was so coaxing, it took him a long time to coax his wife again.

Xie Yu lost his temper.

In the brightly lit place in the distance, there are people wearing pig-head masks and dancing in the human world wearing ghost masks of various colors.

The guards of the temple are divided into on-duty and outside patrols, and the guards are on duty as usual; while the outside patrols wear pig heads one after another, which symbolizes the cursed ghost pig that swallowed the shadows of the people in Shanbao County.

The pig-headed man brought peace to the south, and his terrifying appearance became cute in the eyes of the common people.

Xie Yu took Li Yuan and ran to see it.

No matter how she looked at the scene of the bustling place, she never got tired of it.

Suddenly, there was a sound of laughter and whispering in the distance.

Xie Yu was here to watch the excitement, but he thought there wasn't enough excitement, when he heard the laughter, his cheeks flushed, and he dragged Li Yuan to run over there excitedly.

When they got closer, the expressions of the two became strange.

Various sounds came from afar.

"A few days ago, the King of Chu came to pay a special visit to the empress, and then left the little daughter behind, saying that he would serve at the empress's knees."

"Even if she is the daughter of the king of Chu, if she wants to serve her mother, she is not qualified at all, right?

What's more, this king of Chu is nothing more than the Jiedu envoy of Fujiang Dao.

He is far away in the Yingling Mansion, and he never asked us about our territory in the past, but now he came here because he is looking for the power of the empress, hoping to get the support of the empress? "

"The youngest daughter of the King of Chu is quite persevering. She has been kneeling for seven days and seven nights. She is like a sculpture, motionless, not caring about eating or drinking."

At this time, someone shouted in the crowd: "Little girl, go back quickly, you will not be accepted here."

Xie Yu and Li Yuan pushed their way through the crowd and looked inside.

But I saw a young girl wearing a noble black fire phoenix gown, her hands were touching the ground, she was maintaining the posture of kowtowing, and the direction of worship was the gate of Yan Jun Niangniang Temple.

In the light snow, the dignified bun she combed has turned white.

Li Yuan saw the number above her head at a glance: 8~9.

In other words, this is a normal person.

Ordinary people kneel for seven days and seven nights in winter without eating or drinking. This is not far from death.

Xie Yu was very angry, and whispered in Li Yuan's ear, "You are a traitor."

Li Yuan didn't say anything, and led Xie Yu to play for a while, then went home.

Into the night, cold night.

Light snow is still falling.

In the early morning, there are few people.

The temple gradually fell silent.

The youngest daughter left by the King of Chu was still kneeling in front of the temple. She had lost consciousness all over her body, and her eyes were fixed on the cold and stiff stone in front of her.

Suddenly, she felt something dropped on her shoulder.

She still didn't move.

But there was a rattling sound that did not sound like a human voice.

"do you died?"

"No."

"what is it call?"

"Xiang Yan."

The little crow stood on the shoulder of the princess named Xiang Yan, and shouted: "Get up."

Seeing that she didn't move, he said again: "Your death will only offend the empress, and the empress' anger will come to King Chu. Is this what you want to see?"

click.
Click
A mechanical, stiff voice came.

Xiang Yan was about to get up, but only when she moved did she realize that she was completely out of control, as if an old embroidered clock was about to break down with the winding of its mainspring.

"Are you so willing to die for your father?" the little crow chirped.

Xiang Yan was silent.

"It seems not." Little Crow said cunningly.

Xiang Yan didn't argue either.

"I really want to see your mother, take good care of yourself, I will take you to see her.

It's just that the moment you meet your empress, all your past and all your goals can no longer be hidden. "

The little crow paused, and said, "Since this is the case, will you still see me?

Moreover, even if you pass the customs and stay here to serve the empress, it is impossible for the empress to get involved in your disputes.

At most, it will keep you away from the chaos of war, and one day in the future, even if Chu Kingdom is destroyed, you will be fine. "

Xiang Yan:.
The little crow quacked and asked, "Now, have you made a decision?"

"I want to see the empress." Xiang Yan hissed, she maintained a prostration posture, her body was stiff.

The little crow's pointed beak suddenly caught a leaf floating in the wind from a distance, and gently spit it on the princess.

The leaves looked like the leaves of an old locust tree, but to the princess, the leaves were a warm flame.

Her body is rapidly thawing and recovering rapidly.

She fell limply to the ground, and only then did she look up to her side, only to realize that it was a little crow who was talking to her.

She bowed respectfully: "Thank God Crow Queen."

Niangniang?

The little crow was stunned, then flapped its pitch-black wings, fluttered into the sky, and disappeared.

a few days later.

In a quiet valley near the ghost prison.

Four gentle and quiet girls stood in the snow, tilting their heads to look left and right. After a man walked in at the entrance of the canyon, the girls ran over and surrounded the man, chattering and shouting, "Daddy, Daddy!" ".

Li Yuan looked at the four identical daughters, and the words "15920~102908" floated above their heads.

A combat power of [-] means that these four daughters have been able to sweep the former Five Elements forces, and it also means that the elite of the four queen mothers - "Flying Bear Army".

Li Yuan stroked his daughters' hair with great satisfaction.

but
He has a weird expression on his face.

The little padded jacket was very considerate, and Li Yuan's expression made them understand what dad was thinking.

As a result, they changed one after another and became four "grandmothers" again, lined up behind Li Yuan.

Don't look at them changing so much, but there are only three ranges that can change, that is, human form, tree, and crow.

"Grandma tree" you speak with each other.

"Father, the girl you showed me is actually quite pitiful."

"She was forced to come. If she doesn't come, her mother will die."

"So, she has to kneel here, and only by desperately joining the temple, can her mother have status and survive in Chu Palace."

"However, I told her that since she came to the temple, the outside affairs have nothing to do with her, and the empress will not care about outside affairs."

The tree grandmothers are very cute.

Li Yuan sat under the tree.

A tree grandmother stretched out a branch and handed him a cup of tea. Seeing that the tea was cold, she wrapped the branch around the teacup. After a while, the tea was steaming, and the branch held out the teacup again, saying obediently, "Dad, drink tea." .”

There was also a tree grandma who conjured peeled apples from nowhere and said, "Father, eat apples."

The other two tree grandmothers offered other fruits, nuts and so on.

Li Yuandao: "Why did you change back?"

A tree grandma said: "It will make dad feel weird that we appear together. After all, in dad's heart, he only has one real daughter."

Another tree grandma said: "Yes, yes, she is in the cemetery of the gods."

Li Yuan asked strangely: "What is your current state?
Is it the same person?
Or...a different soul? "

Grandma Shu said: "Daddy's daughter in the cemetery of the gods is the trunk, and we are the branches.

We are all one tree, but different parts. Of course, Daddy's daughter in the cemetery is more important.

But we are also Daddy's daughters. "

Li Yuandao: "What about the crow?"

Grandma Tree said: "The crow is like a small protrusion that has not grown into a branch. Because it is on the tree, it is completely the daughter of the father in the cemetery of the gods.

Now we have enveloped Yang Qi, so some of it is independent. "

Another tree grandma added decisively: "But we are still daddy's daughters."

The tree grandma's speech was supported by the other three.

The tree grandmothers started to speak "rustling".

This weird experience made Li Yuan feel ashamed.

However, Xiao Jin has only recently broken through the second realm of Heaven and Soul.

But here comes the problem, the second realm of Heaven and Soul is different from the previous realm.

This realm needs to be "maintained" from time to time. In short, it is to absorb yang energy from time to time in the third-grade meat field.

But now, the third-grade meat field near Yan Jun Niangniang Temple can only maintain four second-level heavenly souls at most.

At this time, a tree grandma jumped up and said, "Daddy, let me show you our immortal appearance."

After all, a golden girl with a height of ten feet and a vague face suddenly appeared behind Grandma Shu.

Four tree grandmas are four ten-foot golden bodies.

When these golden bodies shook their hands, their palms turned into countless golden entangled roots.

With another slap, those roots turned into waves and rushed forward, as if thousands of horses and thousands of troops marched together, and the root tips were like spears sprinting, traveling for several miles, the power is astonishing.

These four pairs of "armies" rushed back and forth in the canyon.

Not long after, the owner of the "army" asked Li Yuan: "Daddy, aren't you very powerful?"

Li Yuan praised: "Good!"

The four tree grandmas were very happy, and they took away the roots and golden bodies one after another.

A tree grandmother suddenly said: "Daddy, where is your golden body? Show us too."

"Yes, are we as good as us!" Another tree grandma said innocently.

Naturally, Li Yuan had nothing to hide from his daughter. He stood in a suitable position, and a giant with a hundred feet of gold appeared directly behind him.

The giant sat cross-legged, with his hands down on his knees.

But for some reason, the originally ferocious and greedy face turned out to be a little brighter and more compassionate.

The dry fire was raging, and the temperature of the entire canyon rose in an instant, getting higher and higher.

Even if Li Yuan's golden body is sitting cross-legged, the four golden tree girls still need to look up.

This appearance is like the four mascots on the shrine and under the giant statue.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged, and he glanced at his state.

The data changed from the original "37884~626253" to "37884~720190".

The increase didn't increase much, but the biggest gain was that he was gaining "strength" again.

His rage is being reinvigorated.

Li Yuan suddenly raised his hand.

In the void, one after another of terrifying withered fires are compressing, condensing, and turning into a knife shape.

But the collapse doesn't seem to be going very well.

Li Yuanxu held it several times, felt unsteady, and then dispersed again.

The tree grandmas shouted: "Daddy, take away the supernatural powers."

Li Yuan put it away, and then watched the grandma Shu having a "tea party".

Suddenly, a tree grandma said: "Dad, the old man in the cemetery is talking again!"

Li Yuan asked, "What did you say?"

Grandma Shu said: "The old man said that the second realm of Heaven and Soul is coming to an end. If you want to step into the third realm of earth immortals, you have to go to the Eastern Sea Immortal Realm."

Li Yuan sneered and said lightly: "It's just to drive the tiger away and swallow the wolf."

Grandma Shu said, "Yeah, I don't believe it either. I just said that if he refuses to teach me, I will lift the coffin board."

after another meeting
Grandma Shu continued: "The old man asked me why I dared to deceive my master and destroy my ancestors. I explained to him that he begged to teach me, so the old man stopped talking."

After a while.

A tree grandma turned into a crow and landed on Li Yuan's shoulder, saying: "The old man said again, even if you don't go to the East China Sea Immortal Realm, there is a way to improve. That method may not be suitable for others, but it is suitable for me."

"He said... Even a low-grade meat field can make more of me step into the third grade.

As long as the meat field is fissioned, huge energy can be generated.

That energy can help many, many of me enter the third rank.

Even if one day the meat fields are gone, I can still go to the Bingman fire.

By the fire, I can get a steady stream of replenishment, so I can always maintain the third level and second level. "

Li Yuan's expression, which was just listening casually, suddenly tightened, and his pupils slowly shrank.

The daughter is still talking.

"The old man also said that he can teach me the Heavenly Soul Formation.

The Heavenly Soul Formation requires great tacit understanding before it can be used.

But such a formation naturally exists for me.

The old man said, as long as I learn the Heavenly Soul Formation, no one in this land will be my opponent.

Even when there are more and more of me, I can still pass through the East China Sea and unite those many of me in the big formation.

Dad, do you think I should learn? "

At this moment, Li Yuan's pupils were already constricted.

He already clearly smelled a breath of wind and rain.

Mountain rain is certainly not enough to describe the situation at this time.

This is clearly a terrifying catastrophe.

In order to destroy the great harmony of Yin and Yang, Xiji will do everything possible.

They lured Zhen Yanhuang, wanting the barbarian king to destroy the world of ghosts.

They took a fancy to Xiao Jin again and wanted Xiao Jin to devour the world's meat fields.

When the meat fields are exhausted, Xiao Yan can only return to the fireside of the West Pole, and then, like the ice barbarians for generations, become an even more terrifying tombkeeper.

To tell the truth, if many Xiaojin formed an formation, Li Yuan felt that he would not be able to beat them.

This is exactly as the old man in the cemetery of the gods said, Xiao Jin will be invincible in this land.

west pole.

Cabrol.

The wind and snow are calm, and the cold sand is lingering.

Strong as a giant bear, limb after limb.

Four hands, four legs, a strong man with a bronze head and iron forehead is standing in this wind and snow.

In an instant, his limbs disappeared, leaving only his hands and legs.

"Grandma, I have completely consolidated the first level of Earth Soul, how can I reach the next level?"

The barbarian king asked in a low voice.

The old woman with white hair on her back said: "Wolf Mother once told you to conquer the Central Plains, those ghost lands in the Central Plains are your nourishment!

Destroy them, then take away their power, store that power in your body, and you can step into the second realm of earth and soul."

After a brief pause, the old woman's voice became hoarse, excited, and sickly, from depressed to high-spirited to bewildering hysteria.

"Grey body!"

"Black body!!"

"Green body!!!"

"You will become the strongest existence on this continent!

You will be the hero of all ice brutes!

Your life will usher in the most glorious moment!
You will hang in the sky like the sun, become the sun king sung in the mythical epic, and become an unparalleled overlord in the history books! ! "

The old woman stretched her hands, the wrinkles that were shriveled like tree bark stretched out, and the deep-set eyes were full of wanton excitement.

However.
The barbarian king was not so excited.

He just picked up the golden barbarian ax silently, closed his eyes for a long time, and then showed a complicated smile, and said softly: "I should go."

He stood up, walked away, and let out a long roar like thunder.

Howling and desolate, like a lonely wolf king.
