Longevity begins with Orion

Chapter 283 281. The Imperial Capital, the Tianshi Mansion, and the Imperial Fairy Boy (please subscribe)

It's not the worst consequence if something goes missing.

At least, it was taken away.

As long as someone takes it, there will be traces to follow.

What's more, Li Yuan didn't even know the use of the "Secret Technique Stone Tablet" and "Animal Way Gate" in this era, and it would be useless for those people to take them away.

The key is that he needs to find out what happened to the eldest grandson San Niang's family and who took these things.

Returning to the old place, things have changed and people have changed.

Li Yuan still remembered the scene when he left. At that time, even Beidou had not broken up with him and was still pretending to be his little maid.

But now, even he has changed his appearance and is back here again.

He quickly searched the house and observed it. Except that he could tell that the eldest grandson's mother's house had been abandoned for many years, nothing else could be seen.

Li Yuan had a lot of patience, so he quietly returned to the inn and looked at the family of three lying on the collapse bed, lying down like little naughty boys returning from a pee.

However, maybe it was due to the [Fate Star Technique] and "Metamorphosis". Even though he was very close to this family, he didn't have much real close feelings. At most, it was just a good relationship.

If he had just traveled through time, he might have regarded them as family, but now this feeling has faded.

Early the next morning.

Li Yuan opened his eyes and saw Ating's face in front of his, as if staring at him.

Those eyes were quiet and dark, making people feel inexplicably peaceful.

Ating saw him open his eyes, grinning with a simple smile: "Dad, grandma sold a lot of fish, they are so happy."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Are you happy?"

"Happy!" Ating stretched and ran away.

Li Yuan noticed that she was wearing clothes one size larger. The clothes seemed to be of the same style as what he was wearing at this time. They were both the former sons of the fisherman couple, so he said: "Let daddy and aunty buy you a new clothes." Bar."

"No need." Ating blinked and said, "Get up, eat, and go back to the village after eating."

Li Yuan nodded.

On the way back, the car passed Changsun Sanniang's house. He tried to find out the news, but fishermen like Hei Niu and Wuniang had no idea at all.

Hei Niu thought for a while and then said: "I heard that in Muhai Town, a large family that raised horses suddenly left. The government searched everywhere, but found that they were missing."

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes.

He also needs more information.

The wheel hub of the oxcart turned "yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" at the wheel, and Ating sat beside the car, looking curiously into the distance. There seems to be always a curiosity about the world in her eyes.

Li Yuan's eyes kept scanning.

He was also curious.

This is the world after a great change.

Others don't know that "extraordinary" still exists in this world, but as Li Yuan, who personally used "Twilight" to kill the strong men of the old era, he clearly knows: extraordinary still exists.

He thought about it himself and found that an unknown condition was missing, but he never dug it out. He wanted to see if there was anything ready-made in this world.

If there is, he can "copy the answer".

Li Yuan glanced over, but there was no data above "5". Occasionally he saw a swordsman boasting about his strength, but his strength was only "4~5".

This is really a world where if you kill a tiger, you can become a "tiger-fighting hero".

Li Yuan looked away, only to find that Ating was still staring into the distance.

He looked over curiously, only to find that Ating's pupils had almost no focus, just moving along with the carriage in such a dull manner, wherever the scenery went, she saw everything.

This is no longer looking at the scenery, but being in a daze.

Li Yuan shouted: "Ating."

Ating replied: "Brother Yu."

The name Brother Yu was chosen by Li Yuan for himself at will. He used the name of Master Li in his previous life and called himself Li Yu. He was attacked by bandits at home and was living abroad.

Li Yuan asked: "What are you looking at?"

Ating said: "Looking at the small town."

"Does it look good?" Li Yuan asked.

Ating nodded and said, "Don't you look good?"

"But I didn't see what you were looking at." Li Yuandao.

Ating said: "Because every place is beautiful."

After saying that, she grinned, showing her white teeth and cute smile, raised her hands, and her larger-sized cuffs drooped down.

As if to explain further, she said: "There are many colors, there are many sounds, there are wide streets, and there are many people."

"oh"

Li Yuan responded without showing any interest in taking up the topic.

He crossed his chest slightly and leaned against the car wall.

Outside the car, the fisherman named Hei Niu was driving the car.

In the car, the large wooden barrels for selling fish had not been rinsed very much and exuded a strong fishy smell. But this family is fishermen and they are used to it.

Back home, Wu Niang took the wooden bucket to the lake to wash the bucket. A neighbor next door approached Hei Niu and said that he wanted to fish with Hei Niu.

Now everyone in the village knows that the Heiniu family's girl yells about "River God" every day, and the Heiniu family has indeed adopted a boy.

Although no one thought that the boy was a river god, everyone saw Hei Niu's harvest every time he fished. Yesterday, he even took a cart full of fish to the town to buy them, but now they are all sold out. When you come back, you will definitely have a lot of money in your pocket.

Black Bull is naturally unwilling.

But the next day, more fishermen came.

Li Yuan listened to a few words, and all he said was, "You can't live in one family alone. We all make money together, and we all belong to the same village."

Hei Niu had a bad temper, so he agreed after looking at the many people.

But it was impossible for Li Yuan to catch fish for them all the time. After a few times, everyone found that fishing was really a matter of luck, and the "fishing alliance" slowly broke up again.

Li Yuan, who had landed on land, no longer needed to hide after settling down, and his life was peaceful.

On this day, after Hei Niu and Wu Niang went out to fish, he took a branch from the yard.

He waved the branch a few times.

Although it was only a few strokes, it conveyed a sense of "great skill but no workmanship".

His power is stored in his ancestral land, but his skills do not need to be stored, but have always been rooted in his soul.

The shadows of the branches swayed, making sounds that were fast and slow as they danced.

Li Yuan glanced at the status.

Sure enough, the human soul technique never appeared.

But if it were in the past, a skill would have been formed directly.

He swung the branches, but he couldn't use any of his constricting, explosive and spinning powers.

After practicing for a while, Li Yuan felt that it was really boring, so he took a break temporarily.

As a heavenly being, Li Yuan grew up very quickly.

Half a year later, he looked like a teenager and was quite strong. He also began to help Hei Niu fish and sell fish.

But Ating still looks like a girl who has not grown up.

In the village, several families are slowly falling into ruin because they cannot pay taxes. Although they have not yet reached the point of selling their wives and daughters, they are almost there.

Because Li Yuan is here in the Heiniu family, the "black rainbow fish" has never stopped, and they can get tax exemption almost every year.

But this spring, an accident occurred. Hei Niu was accidentally bitten by a "black rainbow fish" while fishing. Although he found a doctor in time and was fine, he had to lie down and rest.

However, this batch of fish has to be sold to Muhai Town.

Li Yuan volunteered to take over the task.

He could just go to the small town of Muhai to inquire about the news of the third grandson's family.

Wu Niang refused, saying that Li Yuan was still young.

Li Yuan directly grabbed the big black vat filled with water in the courtyard, lifted it three times, and then gently put it down, his face not red and his heart not beating.

Wu Niang was stunned before agreeing.

Ating also wanted to go with Li Yuan, but Li Yuan refused. Wu Niang said next to her, "Wait until Ating is older, then follow your brother." Ating did not insist, nodded, and then ran outside to chase the newborn butterflies.

The next day, Li Yuan returned and successfully sold all the fish.

Therefore, Li Yuan has the right to legally sell fish in Muhai Town.

There is also a young fish seller in the fish market.

Naturally, the young man also began to inquire for information.

One is about the Changsun family.

The second is about martial arts.

There are many "replaced people" among the fishmongers, and they are quite proud on weekdays. Li Yuan often chats with them and listens to their bragging.

So soon, he received the first piece of information: the house with the seal was the former residence of the old lady of the Huyan family. About nine years ago, the Huyan family suddenly disappeared, and the government sealed their home, but no one knew where the Huyan family had gone.

Li Yuan was a little helpless.

The second message: Today’s emperor is named Ying Mo, and he is a well-deserved tyrant. The late emperor's name was Ying Cheng, and his posthumous title was "Xi Emperor".

Li Yuan didn't know these two people, but he estimated that they should be the descendants of Ying An.

Li Yuan thought silently for a while and then made a plan.

He was going to the imperial capital to meet the emperor.

There are four purposes:

The first is to use the power of the emperor to track the whereabouts of the Huyan family;

Second, find out what happened in the year when the world changed, and see if there is any whereabouts of Xiao Min. After all, Ying An should also have entered the tomb of the gods;

Thirdly, he wanted to know more about this world to facilitate future reincarnations. After all, this first reincarnation was just an experiment;

Fourthly, he wanted to show off his power a little and see if he could fish out the possible behind-the-scenes.

He actually felt that maybe there was no behind the scenes.

Because if there really is a behind-the-scenes, then the best time to take action behind the scenes is "when he merges with the destiny star." At that time, he and Beidou had just played a game, and all the trump cards they could draw were taken out. It was the time to take action behind the scenes. But he didn't even appear behind the scenes. This shows that [Fate Star Technique] may really just happen to be there.

However, what needs to be done must be done anyway.

It's better to solve it as soon as possible.

Moreover, Li Yuan also wanted to test what would happen if he regained power from the Life Star, and how long it would take to recover.

He made up his mind and planned to buy a knife, then bid farewell to the Heiniu family and head to the imperial capital.

But things are different now.

In the past, he would have just flown over.

Now he needs to raise funds, and it is best to find a caravan heading to the imperial capital, then give him some money and go with the caravan.

However, not to mention the issue of money, the small town of Muhai is also relatively remote. If you want to find the caravan heading to the imperial capital, you can only use two words: dreaming.

But going alone, firstly, there is no map, and secondly, there are many inconveniences.

Although Li Yuan, the person behind the scenes, didn't think he was that great, he never thought he would be stumped by a journey.

This delay lasted until the end of the year.

At the end of the year, light snow began to fall at noon.

Seeing that the stall was empty and the fish was almost sold, Li Yuan cleaned up the stall early, greeted the men in the market, and then drove the donkey cart slowly to the fishing village.

He closed his stall early today, so he didn't stay at an inn in the town.

Of course, there was another reason why he was in a hurry, and that was: he had been chatting with the men in the fishing market recently, and heard that there were bandits in the area, so he wanted to take advantage of the New Year to try his luck.

The donkey cart was only halfway along, and it was already dark, but it wasn't long yet, when two men with their faces covered jumped out in the distance and approached with long knives in hand.

The sky was dark, and it was snowing, so no one could see anyone, so there was really no need to cover their faces.

However, as a "Celestial Being of the New Era", although Li Yuan did not enjoy "the benefits that a Celestial Being may enjoy in the Reiki Era", his five senses were indeed much better than those of humans, and he could see clearly who was coming at a glance.

He casually glanced behind him and found two more people approaching.

He scanned the words above the four people's heads. They were three "2~3" and one "3~4".

"Good luck."

Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time he felt a little emotional.

He couldn't remember the last time he was robbed, how many years ago.

The robber in front of him had no idea that he was in bad luck today. He walked up to him with his knife in his hand and said ferociously: "Boy, hand over all your money and I will spare your life!"

Li Yuan didn't say anything, jumped out of the donkey cart, and robbed the four bandits in three moves.

The four bandits fell to the ground with black noses and swollen eyes, watching in fear as the donkey cart drove away in the darkness.

Li Yuan, on the other hand, weighed a linen bag.

Now, the cost problem has been partially solved.

It's just that there doesn't seem to be much money in the bag, only three taels of silver and twelve large coins.

These large coins are different from the previous ones. They are obviously newly minted coins of this dynasty. They are imprinted with exquisite patterns of flying birds and majestic imperial chariots. It is unknown what meaning they express.

As for knives, Li Yuan didn't need to buy them. He now had four.

He touched it for a while, but didn't see any special marks on the knife, so he took a detour to a blacksmith's shop, exchanged three knives for four taels of silver, and kept the remaining knife.

He waved the knife a few times and glanced at his data.

This data has already changed from the original "7~10" to "22~25".

The sword is the worst kind of sword. The reason why it can increase the data by a full "15" is entirely because Li Yuan's martial arts has reached an "exceptionally outrageous and unbelievable" category.

In other words, if he changed to a better knife, Li Yuan would gain even more strength.

After a while, Li Yuan returned to the fishing house and hid the knife and the silver under a hidden stone outside the door before entering the house.

Afterwards, he returned to the house.

Hei Niu hurriedly welcomed him in, while Wu Niang went to heat up some food, put it on the table, and muttered things like, "I heard there were bandits on that road recently, but Brother Yu luckily didn't encounter them." Don’t go on a night trip this time” and the like.

While Li Yuan was eating, he glanced sideways at the girl.

Ating was still young, dull and clumsy, kneeling on the bench with lifeless eyes, lying in front of the window and looking at the snow outside.

Li Yuan shouted: "Ating, let's make a snowman in a while."

Ating responded.

Li Yuan quickly picked up the rice and soon brought the little girl to the yard.

It was pitch dark outside the house, and only through the light coming from the crack of the open door could a normal person distinguish Bai Xue clearly in the darkness.

Li Yuan and Ating didn't go far, so they built a small snowman outside the threshold.

Ating's face was red with excitement, and his hands were dancing back and forth on the snow, as if he was not afraid of the cold at all, and it seemed that he was not afraid of the cold because he thought the snow was fun.

Li Yuan looked at her, then at Wu Niang who was clearing away the dishes and chopsticks, and Hei Niu who was drinking water and wine in the room, shouting, "Brother Yu, you are now a grown man, do you want a glass of wine?"

He decided to say goodbye to the family once spring began, and then headed to the imperial capital.

He had to go anyway.

Before, he might have thought about settling down the family, but now his heart felt inexplicably indifferent.

Gathering brings joy;

Parting is neither painful nor reluctant.

He bid farewell to an era and came back again, only to find that he was already a passerby.

The next day, Li Yuan and Ating sat on the threshold, holding their chins together and looking into the distance.

Li Yuan didn't know what Ating was thinking.

But Li Yuan was still thinking about Pancheng.

His angle of entry is very direct:

The world today is obviously very bad, and there are many bandits.

You will encounter bandits when you walk at night, especially if you go to "places where there are many bandits rumored to be in the countryside."

Robbers have money.

And he needs money.

Therefore, he decided to continue walking at night to places "where there were rumors of bandits" in order to accumulate some money and leave some silver for the family of three.

Just do it.

"Blessed are the bandits in this area."

Three months later.

The legend of the "mysterious hero" began to spread around the small town of Muhai.

The robbers heard the news and fled.

Li Yuan also changed from the original "seven taels of silver and twelve large coins" to "twelve taels of gold, twenty-eight taels of silver, and two hundred large coins."

He buried part of the gold and silver in the fishing house, while he only kept "five taels of gold and five taels of silver", and at the same time changed to a knife that was obviously better.

After watching the data change from "22~25" to "27~30", Li Yuan decided to go to the imperial capital.

Even if it takes a little more detour and takes more time, he still has to go.

Perhaps it was his luck that before he even said he wanted to leave, a new wave of government officials arrived in the fishing village.

Before arriving at Heiniu's house, Li Yuan and Ating heard crying and indifferent scolding coming from a distance.

"Master Cha, I only have one son in my family, please."

"Lord, please!!"

"What are you yelling about? I'm going to the imperial capital to live a good life! The emperor has ordered that the Tianshi Mansion in Zhongjing will accept some fairy boys! I'm here to be a fairy boy!"

"Poor! We don't want this good thing, no"

"No? You dare to resist? And haha, every household in the village that has a boy or girl must have one."

After a while, the sound of crying came from the distance, accompanied by screams such as "Mother, mother" and "My son".

The hoofs of the horses beat like drums, and the soldiers on the cavalry were wearing armor and holding spears, which was majestic.

These cavalrymen rode around the small fishing village like prey, making people unable to resist.

Behind the cavalry, there was a huge ox cart, and children were brought in and thrown into the ox cart one by one.

During this period, some people wanted their children to run away, but they were quickly overtaken by the cavalry.

There are also families who want their children to be hidden, but the officials who come here bring their household registration books. With a quick comparison, they can tell whether the family has children.

Looking at that scene, Wuniang felt her hands and feet were cold.

However, what can she do?

Soon, an official came to the door, swept inside, and went directly to arrest Ating. After all, Ating seemed to be more in line with the requirements of a "virgin girl."

The knife flashed with cold light, and the cold air was overwhelming.

The black bull didn't dare to step forward.

Wu Niang just cried loudly.

The room was filled with impatient looks from officials.

Ating was dumbfounded and didn't struggle. He just followed the officer out and crossed the threshold again.

Li Yuan stopped him directly.

He was still thinking about how to get to the imperial capital.

No, there is a "special car" directly.

Since there is a "special car" and food and accommodation are included, Li Yuan doesn't care about the expense.

So, he resolutely stopped in front of Ating and said: "I am also a virgin, I will go!"

"You" the official looked at the sturdy Li Yuan.

Li Yuandao: "I work a lot on weekdays and grow strong, but I am still a child, as the whole village can testify."

As he said that, he grabbed Ating and pulled the girl who was wearing clothes one size larger with sleeves covering her fingers behind him.

The official took a careful look at the household registration book, and the household registration book recorded "Li Yu, eight years old." Combined with the registration year, the child named Li Yu should be "nine years old" this year.

But whose nine-year-old child looks like this?

While the official was thinking about it, Li Yuan had already gotten into the carriage transporting "boys and girls", and then waved goodbye to Hei Niu Wuniang and Ating.

The official was in a hurry and didn't want to make any more trouble, so he went to the next house.

Hei Niu and Wu Niang cried and hugged each other.

Ating stared blankly at the cart going away, then raised his hand and waved at the ox cart that had turned into a small black dot, as if the reflex arc had just returned.

She is saying goodbye.

Li Yuan, on the other hand, was thinking about his own affairs. When he went to Zhongjing this time, he had to think of a way to see if he could fish out the possible mastermind.

A few days later.

Five oxcarts dragged the "Queen Fairy Boy" in five large carriages towards Zhongjing.

In the fishing village, when the Hei Niu couple were cleaning up Li Yuan's house, they found a lot of gold and silver in the clay pots under the bed.

But they still hugged each other and cried.

They were no longer young. After the death of their only son, they finally had a new son who was capable and handsome. How could they let this son go?

However, since there is so much gold and silver.

Hei Niu said: "Wuniang, let's move to Muhai Town and start a small business. It's too difficult here."

Wuniang said: "This kid Yu'er doesn't know when he saved so much money. When we get to town, I and you will..."

Hei Niu said: "If we have another child, then there will be three more people in this family. Let's just live well."

Wu Niang sighed, and then went to pack her clothes.

This much money is enough for them to live a good life.

She packed the clothes at home.

Of these clothes, apart from hers and Hei Niu's, the only ones left were those of her deceased son. Those clothes were all boys', so they were big and wide.

April day.

Ating was wearing tattered clothes and sitting on a lonely cliff in the deep mountains and old forests.

She held her chin and looked at the rolling hills and rolling clouds in a daze, as if she had never seen the human world.

Those eyes had a dull feeling caused by staring at something for an extremely long time.

Suddenly, there was movement behind Ating.

That's a little monkey running over just picking peaches.

Ating stood up, saw the monkey, and chased after it happily, shouting excitedly: "Little monkey, little monkey!"

The little monkey ran away, and Ating chased after him again. After chasing him, he disappeared among the green mountains and green waters of this spring day.

P.S. If I don’t write quickly, it will become erratic and ungrounded no matter how fast I write.
