"How does the tea taste? This is the lightest of the teas sent from various states this time. Perhaps it will suit you better."

Under the old tree in the storage room, a woman dressed in heroic attire, but still unable to conceal her beauty, smiled and brewed tea with her bare hands. The Taoist in front of her had a gentle and peaceful temperament and said with a smile, "Of course it's fine."

Now the Shenwu Kingdom no longer has nine states, but already has thirteen states.

Li Zhai's army is unparalleled in strength. In recent days, it has approached the capital of Qiulong State. Now, it is gaining momentum. Countless people have surrendered at the sight of it, and some even surrendered their cities. This demonstrates the theoretical value of the strongest military force. In today's world, many people believe that Li Zhai's military tactics and achievements can almost compete for the number one warrior of the human race.

Even if it is placed in the thousands of years of history of this world, it is definitely in the first tier.

No one objected to this.

With the rise of humanity's fortune in recent days and more and more people practicing martial arts, the fortune of the entire human world is improving. The [human Qi] in Qi Wuhuo's body is advancing in an absolutely stable and undelayed manner. After the improvement of humanity's fortune, within the Shenwu Jiuzhou, there is land above and city gods below.

It also stabilizes at the level of Yin and Yang Qi and the earth.

Within the territory of the Shenwu Kingdom in the human world, there are at least three levels of protection at this moment, which is ridiculously stable.

The Kitchen God, the God of Land who was bestowed with the destiny of humanity as the core, now has a new name, which is [Sheling].

As a cultivator, Qi Wuhuo was very clear-headed and knew that as long as Li Zhai conquered the last state of Qiulong Kingdom and melted all the human artifacts in its capital into a tripod, the [Jedi Tiantong] formation in the human world would be stabilized to a higher level, and the condition of Queen Wa would be much better.

At the very least, the incarnation time outside will be much longer each day.

The scope of free movement will also be greatly expanded.

When the tea tasted weak, Li Qiongyu suddenly smiled and said:

"Come to think of it, Master Wuhuo, you should be twenty years old now."

The young Taoist holding the tea paused and calculated carefully. Two years had passed since the first New Year's Day of Queen Wa. Now Qi Wuhuo, apart from the dreamlike time when his teacher Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun taught him, was indeed already twenty years old. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

Li Qiongyu sighed and said with a smile: "It seems that Master has reached the age of [coming of age] again."

And come of age...?

Qi Wuhuo paused, his thoughts inevitably returned to that dream - the coming-of-age ceremony, for people in the mortal world, has a very important meaning, and there will also be some changes in attire, which is of great significance. The Taoist lowered his eyes, suppressed this thought, and chatted and laughed for a while. After seeing off Li Qiongyu, he walked back.

Walking past the old tree and deep well, he raised his hand to touch the hairpin on his head and said to himself:

"Is it time to come of age..."

The Supreme One has his hair tied up.

Who can win the crown?

…

Eating roasted chestnuts in the palace was not a problem. As long as the emperor said a word, or any dignitary gave an order, the chefs in the imperial kitchen could prepare and serve delicacies from all over the world, no matter how luxurious and rare the food was.

However, it was unprecedented for the current regent to personally lead people to roast chestnuts in the hall where the ministers discussed national affairs. Perhaps it will never happen again in the future. In fact, in nature, it was more serious than simply leading people to roast chestnuts.

The autumn outside was almost like winter and the temperature could be called extremely cold. They arrived at a courtyard in the imperial palace.

He also lit a bonfire with some discarded files, and after filling his arms with chestnuts, he threw them all into the bonfire with a shake of his hands. Then he sat around, chatting, listening to the popping sound of the chestnuts in the fire. One by one, the round chestnuts cracked open in the flames, emitting a sweet fragrance.

It’s just like the chestnuts we ate on snowy winter nights in Zhongzhou City.

Li Weifeng, Mingxin, and Xiao Yaoling ate their fill.

Li Weifeng did not disappoint his two friends and brought a lot of honey. When they talked about the natural scenery outside and the unique landscapes, it was as if he was traveling around the world with them instead of being trapped in this place. In the end, he finished eating all the chestnuts and drinking all the honey.

Even the warm bonfire had gradually gone out, and the warm flames gradually dimmed. The files that were covered with ink-colored words and carried the fame and honor of the mundane world were actually burned in the flames, revealing a hint of golden red, which was absolutely beautiful.

"Okay, now that we're full and it's getting late, we have to go back."

"If we don't leave soon, Uncle Qi will definitely scold us."

The young Taoist Mingxin picked up the little medicine spirit who was drunk from eating honey, stuffed him into his backpack, then carried him on his back swiftly and said goodbye to Li Weifeng. Li Weifeng saw him out and stood inside the deep red gate. He watched the young Taoist in a light blue Taoist robe and tight leggings, who crossed the gate with incredible ease.

Walking into the world of mortals in the sunset, the silhouette slowly fades away.

Li Weifeng saw them off with a smile on his face, then turned around and put on a thick red cloak with white edges. After accepting them, he turned around and walked back to the palace step by step. When he glanced around, he saw that the fire had been extinguished, and the white files that had just emitted a golden-red light were now just a disgusting black.

The servants were sweeping the place with brooms, but Li Weifeng stopped them: "No need."

He looked at the bonfire for a long time, and then said, "Let's leave this fire here."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The attendants dispersed. In the past few years, the mighty King Li Zhai had been invincible, and the Regent King Li Weifeng was also very skilled. Everyone inside and outside obeyed him and his prestige was extremely high. Li Zhai swept across the four directions, while Li Weifeng could ensure that the people had enough food to eat and had surplus wealth at home.

Although the difficulty of the former is unprecedented, there is only one person who can unify the world.

It is not so rare to find a ruler who can maintain the status quo and the people.

But how can ordinary people care about this?

Don't worry about the destiny of eternity, don't care about the reputation in future generations, as long as we can make their lives good and give them some extra money in their pockets for the New Year, that's good enough.

The people all said that having two kings in power was a situation that had not been seen in thousands of years.

It is a great auspicious sign.

Li Weifeng sneered.

He has his own selfish motives.

His talent is inferior to that of his sister Li Qiongyu and Wen Shang who died heroically, not to mention the domineering Li Zhai. He is just an ordinary person, and he has achieved what he has today by trying his best and working day and night.

He was very smart, a little clever, so he knew that the people were cunning but also very honest. Their cunningness lies in the fact that they will try every means to find loopholes in order to protect their families and property. Sometimes, it is the people who are as cunning as foxes and as vicious as wolves; but the people are also very honest, so honest that they will remember whoever is good to them.

So, he tried hard to be better and better to the people.

He worked hard to make people's lives better and better, all for the purpose of obtaining, or even surpassing, the reputation of the mighty King Li Zhai.

then--

Li Weifeng stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the hall.

The towering hall slowly unfolded. It was cold and empty inside, as if representing the supreme power. Li Weifeng walked through here step by step, his sharp eyes swept across the front, and saw a man with drooling mouth. His limbs were twisted, his hair was no longer smooth, but gray, and he looked crazy.

It was Li Weifeng's uncle, Li Zhai's father, the former Human Emperor. At this moment, the injuries on his limbs had been healed, but because he suffered from the [Soul-Loss Syndrome], he was like a madman. However, even though he was mad, he seemed to recognize Li Weifeng, who often came here. He immediately let out a roar and pounced towards Li Weifeng.

Li Weifeng stepped to the side and clenched his right fist.

The Qi-nourishing Technique taught to him by Taoist Mingxin has already cultivated his Qi. Although it is not at the level of true Taoism, it is at least good for strengthening the body. At this moment, he clenched his fist and smashed it hard in the abdomen of the former Human Emperor. The force was so great that his body flew backwards and hit the table hard, letting out miserable wails like a wild beast.

Li Weifeng gasped for breath, he slowly straightened up and looked at the beast-like man in front of him——

His father and mother were both forced to death by him.

He pushed his younger brother into the water. If his sister Li Qiongyu had not suddenly woken up from her dream, ran out, jumped into the water and rescued her brother, his brother would have died.

My sister was poisoned.

What's more, his parents have to bear countless blood debts and infamy!

There is an eternal infamy in history books!

The Human Emperor roared and rushed over. Li Weifeng stepped on him and stepped on his chest. He stared at the former Human Emperor. The young man known as the Regent King had cruel and murderous eyes that were several times stronger than the Human Emperor. He panted heavily, drew the sword from his waist, and pressed it against the Human Emperor's throat, gritting his teeth:

"I really want to kill you with one sword!"

"But, no, no..."

Li Weifeng suddenly became dejected. He moved his wrist and the sword in his hand plunged directly into the ground. He stared at the Human Emperor in front of him and said, "I will kill you in front of everyone in the world. I will make your evil deeds public!" For this, there must be a reason.

This has been the rule in the human world for such a long time.

If the name is not right, the words will not flow.

If the words are not smooth, it will not be possible to truly vindicate his father and mother. Everyone will subconsciously think that he did this only because he is "a son". This is a subconscious association.

He did not have any sense of justice in seeking revenge for the people of Jinzhou, but he had the same hatred as those people. In order to be able to judge and execute the Human Emperor in front of all the people in the world, he needed a status.

At least--

Surpassing the reputation of the son of the Human Emperor, the Mighty King Li Zhai!

There was a hint of struggle in Li Weifeng's eyes.

The words of that minister today, or rather the advice of many ministers over the past few years, rang in my ears.

"Your Highness is the destiny."

"Your Highness's achievements have brought peace to the people and won the support and support of the people. You are far better than the mighty King Li Zhai. Although Li Zhai has the merit of defeating the enemy, he has wasted people's money and labor and is unpopular..."

"In war, logistics comes first."

"Your Highness has worked hard over the years to maintain the supply of all parties. His contributions are not obvious, but they are not inferior to those of the Mighty King!"

"Your Highness, please think twice. Take advantage of this great opportunity to ascend to the throne. The achievements of the mighty king also belong to your Highness."

"Not only will your parents' innocence be restored by then, but you will also be able to be called the greatest emperor of all time. This is an opportunity that will never be repeated."

Li Weifeng gritted his teeth, holding the sword, and stood in the corner where he was almost about to make a decision.

Great reputation, supreme glory, and the hard work day and night over the past few years.

The obsession with the trauma of the death of one's parents cannot be let go.

The name of the Human Emperor.

The greatest emperor of all time is right before our eyes.

"ah!!!!"

Li Weifeng roared suddenly, and the sword in his hand flashed in the room, slashing across the front and directly embedded into the red pillar. The huge noise made the Human Emperor, who had lost his soul, scream and retreat, hiding to one side. The roar of struggle echoed and dissipated for a long time.

Li Weifeng held the sword, breathing heavily, his face pale, as if he was facing the most powerful enemy.

The hand holding the sword trembled.

"I won't do this. I absolutely won't. I promised Brother Seven, I promised."

"I also promised Mingxin and Xiao Yaoling that I would not be the Human Emperor."

"Even if I don't become the emperor, I can still get the same reputation as my seventh brother by being kind to the people and governing with benevolence. No, I want to surpass his reputation, and then I will judge you and kill you openly! I will make public what you have done!"

Li Weifeng drew his sword.

He stared deeply at the Human Emperor, and once again, he relied on himself, facing the momentum around him who wanted to drape the yellow robe over his body, resisting the impression that everyone was persuading him to do so, and the desire to take revenge just by sitting in that position.

He lowered his eyes, staggered out with the sword in hand, and murmured, "I can do it."

"Revenge can definitely be achieved, without relying on immortals or gods, without relying on others, and without relying on Taoist priests."

"As a human being, I will kill you completely and thoroughly."

"I can definitely catch up with Seventh Brother's fame. I can definitely do it, even if, even if he is going to sweep the world... I can do it, I can definitely do it."

Li Weifeng clenched his fists, strode out of here, and gritted his teeth.

I glanced at the bonfire over there, closed my eyes, and tried not to think about anything else.

"Wait for my revenge, wait for me to finish what I have to do"

"I will go and practice Taoism with you, and enjoy the breeze and the bright moon..."

"Bring the files. The memorials submitted by various states in the past seven days have not yet been reviewed."

"yes!"

…

A few days later——

In the country of Shenwu on earth, when Qi Wuhuo, Fuxi and Queen Wa talked about the matter of coming of age, Fuxi said that it was boring and he didn't care much about it, but Queen Wa was very interested. After reading the classics, she knew that this was a very important matter for the people of this era.

It has extraordinary significance and is usually done by the elders of the clan.

So he smiled and said, "It was Daoist Taishang who did the hair-binding for you before, but the "coming-of-age ceremony" should be done by me."

Queen Wa stretched out her finger and took off the wooden hairpin for the Taoist.

Then his black hair fell to his waist.

Queen Wa looked gentle and asked with a smile:

"The Supreme Master will tie your hair and pin it for you."

"I'll crown you."

"May I?"
