Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 63: Mysterious words confuse the public
Li Yuan cherished his status, and Li Jiancheng was the pillar of the Li family. These two did not want to get too entangled with Liu Qing.
Therefore, it fell to Li Shimin to see Liu Qing off.

However, Li Yuan granted Li Shimin full authority to represent the Li family in return for Liu Qing's promise.

Therefore, the slight resentment in his heart disappeared after Li Yuan's words. This also shows that Emperor Taizu of Tang, who had a low presence in history, also had extraordinary ability to control his subordinates.

Li Shimin led Liu Qing out of Lijiawu Fort through the back door.

The spring rain still lingers, and the oil-paper umbrella is held up, heading towards the northwest in the hazy sky.

"Brother Liu, please forgive Shimin for being suspicious. After Xuanba wakes up, will he still be Xuanba?"

As they walked, Li Shimin seemed to hesitate for a long time before asking. Although his face showed a bit of shame, his eyes were firm.

It seems that all that is left for Liu Qing is the answer he wants in his heart.

The magical power of sending incense is to use the divine power of incense to replace the missing souls of living beings. The three souls are heaven, earth and man. Among them, the heavenly soul returns to heaven and controls the luck.

The earth soul goes into the earth to eliminate cause and effect. The human soul resides in the body during life and wanders around the cemetery after death, just like a thought, following the memory.

The seven souls are joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate and desire. Liu Qing saw that after Xuanba woke up, he felt hungry, understood joy, and knew love and hate, so he thought that all seven souls were there.

Since all seven spirits are present, then three souls must be missing. If one can recognize his father and brother and still have memories, then the human soul is also there.
Then, Xuanba must be missing one of the two souls of heaven and earth.

Thinking about the later novels, Xuanba was killed by lightning, which meant that he had lost his luck and was rejected by the heaven. Therefore, Xuanba may have lost his heavenly soul.

The incense god's divine nature was placed in the Xuanba God's Treasure. At this time, it only replaced the Heavenly Soul and had no effect on the other two souls and seven spirits.
Therefore, Xuanba is still Xuanba at present.

As for the future, it is uncertain. Perhaps Liu Qing yearns for prosperity, and after his ability to send incense is perfected, he will possess Xuanba and enjoy himself.

Even at this time, with the divine power of incense, if Liu Qing calmed down and concentrated, he seemed to be able to vaguely sense Xuanba's every move.

Li Shimin was a little confused, and he seemed to be a well-informed person.

Liu Qing nodded seriously: "Brother Li, you are worrying too much. How can Xuanba not be Xuanba?"

Li Shimin let out a long sigh, his face flushed slightly. He bowed sincerely to Liu Qing, "Brother Liu, you took the risk this time and saved Xuanba's life. This is a great favor to the Li family. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask. The Li family will use all their strength to fulfill your wishes."

Liu Qing smiled and said, "Brother Li and I have been connected for a long time. With karma entangled, why should we bother with the cause and effect?"

Li Shimin opened his mouth to speak, but Liu Qing interrupted him with a wave of his hand, his eyes full of meaning: "If you really want a reward, please remember this promise. When I come to you later, don't refuse, brother Li."

"Brother Liu, you don't know that our Li family values ​​promises the most."

"It's not the Li family, but you, Brother Li. Among the Li family, I am only connected with you. The others have nothing to do with me, Liu."

What a joke! Li Yuan would become a puppet-like emperor in the future. Li Jiancheng started the precedent of early death of the crown prince in the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuanji was an unlucky guy who was beheaded and his head was passed on to other people. Li Xuanba was about to become his clone.
Among all the Li family, only Li Shimin had the last laugh. If not your promise, whose else can I ask for?
Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning, that will happen in the future.

This trip is so mysterious and full of pretense, isn't it all for you, Li Shimin? Now that everything is going well, it's time to reap the rewards.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently.

Afterward, the two continued their journey westward, passing the Li family's fields along the way. Thousands of acres stretched across the fields. The millet and wheat, having weathered the harsh winter winds and snow, now flourished even stronger after the spring rains. Within the family fields, dozens of figures, wearing straw raincoats and hats, braved the rain to tend the millet and wheat, channeling the excess water from the days of rain to the higher, dry fields.

These are all tenants who rent the Li family’s fields.

Among them, there was an old man who must have worked for a long time. He stood up and pounded his back, looking at the green millet and wheat seedlings in front of him.
His face, full of wrinkles, rarely showed a smile.

"The Li family is kind-hearted. I only have to pay 30% rent for renting their land. During lean times, I can even buy millet and wheat seeds on credit."

"Yes, Dad. We fled all the way from Shandong to here. I never thought we'd meet a kind-hearted man. It's better than the neighbors who died of starvation and cold along the way."

"Zhi Shilang, standing before Changbai Mountain, wears a pure red silk brocade back crotch, his long sheath reaching halfway up the mountain, his wheeled sword gleaming in the sunlight. He eats roe deer on the mountain, and cattle and sheep on the way down. Suddenly, hearing the government troops approach, he draws his sword and rushes forward. It's like dying in Liaodong; what harm would it do to behead him?"

The old man was humming softly, raising his old face in the rain, but I don’t know which relative he was commemorating?

Li Shimin frowned, took a few steps forward, and scolded the old man, telling him not to sing such anti-rumors in the future, so as to avoid bringing disaster to the Li family.

Seeing the doubt in Liu Qing's eyes, Li Shimin smiled bitterly and explained in a low voice: "This is the ballad that Wang Bo of Shandong used to incite the villagers when he rebelled a month ago."

"Alas, when the current emperor first ascended the throne, he was considered a capable monarch. How could he have acted so perversely in just six or seven years?"

"First, he ordered Ma Shumou to forcibly conscript millions of soldiers and civilians from the south of the Yangtze River to dig the canal. While the canal was still being dug, he conscripted millions of civilians and nobles from the north of the Yangtze River. He used the fact that Goguryeo did not pay tribute to the Sui emperor as an excuse to start a war in Liaodong."

"With such turmoil, it's no wonder that the common people have a hard time surviving. This is the beginning of the seventh year of Daye. A man named Wang Bo from Shandong, unable to bear the levies from Liaodong, has rebelled!"

At this point, Li Shimin gave a wry smile. "It's a good thing, actually. Ever since Wang Bo rebelled, he's wreaked havoc in Shandong and north of the Yangtze River, forcing refugees to flee westward and sacrificing thousands of tenant farmers to our family. Furthermore, perhaps because of his rebellion, the Sui Emperor has become less wary of our Li family."

"Look, there's news from the court that the Sui Emperor intends to recruit my father as the governor of Taiyuan."

As Liu Qing listened, his heart gradually began to beat faster.

Although it had been known for a long time that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty would be replaced by the Li family, it was still somewhat caught off guard until this moment came.

I have lived in the mountains for so long that I didn’t realize that it is already the seventh year of Daye.

In the seventh year of Daye, Wang Bo of Shandong fired the first shot against the Sui Dynasty. Immediately afterwards, Li Mi went to Wagangzhai, and Zhang Jin raised troops in Daze, Hebei, to respond to Wang Bo. After that, heroes from all over the world rose up to chase the Sui Dynasty.

Later, the Li family started an uprising from Longyou and eventually turned their family into a country.

What Liu Qing was waiting for was not the Xuanwu Gate after the Li family transformed itself into a country, Li Shimin ascending to the throne, and his own utilitarianism, right?

God trapped the demon cultivators, leaving only the Shinto. There are two Shinto, one seeks power by himself, and the other relies on others for incense. They can adapt to the four seasons to regulate wind and rain, and can answer wishes to solve problems and help the people.
But, this is too slow. After Liu Qing became a god, Hong Gu's eyes were already red from crying. So we have to be quick.
It’s fast to earn money from incense offerings, but it’s still not fast enough. It’s not as fast as being ordained as a god by an emperor on earth!
Thinking of this, Liu Qing shook the snake core and bewitched it, saying: "The Sui Emperor is unjust and the people despise him. The people with lofty ideals in the world have begun to save the people from danger. The Li family has inherited the tradition of farming and fighting, and has been supported by the people for generations.

At this moment, how can we sit back and watch the common people wail and remain indifferent? "
