Chapter 229: Fate
After the rangers who killed people in anger were beheaded, the crowd that was almost boiling finally calmed down a lot.
When you see blood, it's always easier to talk.
This little-known Emperor Xia, who ascended the throne by chance, was not afraid to kill people.
As the saying goes, a new official starts with three things to do when he takes office. So where will the fire burn to when the Xia Dynasty was founded? Although there is no definite destination yet, the new country has been announced and has begun to be implemented.
We can no longer tolerate the knights-errant being lawless and acting arbitrarily relying on their own force.
At this time, many people just noticed the white flowers placed on the roadside.
Those white flowers covered the ground, stretching endlessly, surpassing the various colorful flowers around them that were competing for beauty.
These white flowers were not left to celebrate the founding of the Xia Dynasty, but to mourn the passing of the saint.
After all, only a few people are able to make their voices heard.
Many ordinary people actually just watch the fun.
But when I know that the saint is no longer here, and the person who worked wholeheartedly for the people is no longer here, I cannot help but feel sad.
From Dayue to now, they have suffered too much hardship for too long. Even if the Four-Nation Coalition has withdrawn, if they have no hope for the future, what is the difference between staying in the Xia Dynasty and staying in Dayue?
Most people's appreciation and joy for saints come from hope in their hearts.
I believe that if there is a saint leading the way, their lives can be better. This is the role of the flag bearer.
When the initial excitement passes, what remains is the cold and numb reality.
To them, the dead cannot be resurrected.
Since the saint has passed away, he will never come back.
And they still have their own things to do.
No matter who leaves or who comes back, life must go on, right?
It's nothing more than a lack of expectations for the court.
Isn’t that how we lived in the past?
The crowd began to disperse.
Only a few scholars remained where they were, still criticizing the Xia Dynasty and Emperor Xia.
But after hearing it too much, I get too lazy to listen to it again.
When most of the people on the street had disappeared, Gu Dan sent Xu Zhian and the others back to the courtyard.
We have seen all the excitement, and the remaining mess needs to be cleaned up slowly.
"Who is Emperor Xia?"
When they returned to the small courtyard, Andy Hui asked.
"Wang Mang, when the martial arts school and the medicine shop first opened, a little boy came. Do you remember him? It was him."
Gu Dan replied.
"Wang Mang?"
Andy Hui's expression became a little strange, and a look of deep emotion appeared on his old face, as countless memories flooded into his mind.
Of course he still remembers.
At that time, the Chief Physician Pang Qi, Imperial Physician Lin and others were still there. They had just participated in the fasting and offering ceremony set up by Emperor Zong Ming. Pang Qi also got in touch with the Third Prince. The entire Imperial Hospital seemed full of vitality and vigor. It was believed that they could snatch back some voice from the clutches of the alchemists.
I'm afraid no one would have thought that a little guy who couldn't even sit at the main table at that time would actually establish a country on the former territory of Dayue at this time, and he would be the founding monarch! "I still remember that little guy for so many years."
Andy Hui's eyes are full of memories.
But unlike Mo Qiu who lived in the martial arts gym, Wang Mang did not stay in the Gu family courtyard for too long. Although he often came to Gu Dan's place to eat and drink, he did not stay there after all. He was not familiar with Andy Hui, but had met him a few times.
"If you want to see him, ask him to come over sometime when he's free."
Gu Dan smiled and said, "Why don't we let Xun Ke come back and stay for a few days?"
"What are you talking about!"
Andy Hui’s face turned serious.
As soon as he saw his expression, Gu Dan knew that he was going to be scolded.
Sure enough, after so many years, Andy Hui's habit has not changed at all. He immediately stretched out a finger and poked Gu Dan's chest, "He is already an emperor, an emperor! How many things do he have to do all day? How can he delay? Just for an old guy like me, he specially came to see me? It's not worth it for my old face!"
Xu Zhian continued to scold, "Also, Xun Ke is already an adult, he should have his own things to do, how can he stay here with you all day long?"
As they were talking, the topic changed. Andy Hui seemed to remember something and immediately asked, "By the way, speaking of this, it's about time for Xun Ke to find a girl, right? Does he have a sweetheart?"
Gu Dan: “.”
After so many years, Uncle Xu, why are you still thinking about arranging marriages for others! Seeing Gu Dan's silence, Xu Zhian was furious, "I won't say anything to you, you won't listen even if I say it. How come there is also Cang, where is Xun Ke? You don't want him to be like you, do you?! I warn you, if you dare to do it again, I won't forgive you!"
Now it was Gu Dan's turn to be helpless. "I don't know what Xun Ke was thinking. How can you blame me?"
"The people who grew up here all learned from you, didn't they? If you don't marry, what will happen if their children follow your example? How come they don't understand when they are so old? How about this, you should find some time to call Xun Ke over, and I will talk to him about it. Don't let him learn from you!"
Andy Hui has found a new target.
He had proposed marriage several times in his life, but he always hit a wall with Gu Dan.
One time, I finally brought the two girls to his house, and as soon as I entered, I saw Cang.
The more I endure it, the angrier I get. It feels like a loss no matter how I think about it!
"Okay, okay."
Gu Dan nodded repeatedly and sold Xun Ke without hesitation, "I will make sure he comes back as soon as possible, don't worry!"
"snort!"
Xu Zhian snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "One or two of them, what kind of morality!"
Then he took Cang's little hand and left.
Watching Andy Hui's receding figure, Gu Dan could only sigh.
They say that the older an old person is, the more childish they become. It's true! When thinking this, Gu Dan saw Xiaoying, who was studying medical books seriously and diligently under the big willow tree in the yard.
Facts have proved that Xiaoying was not acting on a whim this time, she was really studying the medical books very hard.
Come to think of it, Xiaoying is about the same age as Xun Ke, right? Gu Dan stroked his beard.
Perhaps Just as the thought came to his mind, Gu Dan pinched himself.
Damn, I really want to help people get together!
It turns out that the environment really affects a person.
In Gu Dan's opinion, it is natural for him to decide his own business. As long as he does not commit any serious mistakes that would anger God and people, it does not matter.
Especially when it comes to matters of the heart, a forced melon is not sweet. Even if it can quench your thirst temporarily, there will always be a time when you are full and still feel bloated.
The affairs of the next generation should be left to the next generation to deal with.
The imperial palace of the Xia Dynasty.
The newly established Xia Dynasty was undoubtedly a bit hasty. Not to mention that there was a huge shortage of manpower in various places and it was difficult to gather enough people, even the imperial palace seemed empty.
There were far from enough imperial guards, imperial guards, maids, and eunuchs, so the huge palace looked empty and even a little depressed at first glance.
Gu Dan strolled in it, his eyes not lingering for long on this elegant palace that had cost Emperor Zong Ming several years of hard work. He moved his ears slightly and walked towards a place.
The guard who was on patrol was walking when he suddenly noticed a person standing in front of him.
He was so frightened that he immediately drew his sword and asked vigilantly, "Who is it?!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The country had just been established, and the guards in the palace couldn't even recognize all the people. In addition, many regulations had not yet been finalized, and the old system of Dayue was still almost in use. It was not that they didn't want to change it, but they had to wait until all the talents were gathered, right?
That was why the guards did not shout loudly, fearing that they might accidentally bump into some unknown important person.
"Here is something. Give it to Emperor Xia."
Gu Dan directly threw a package over and said casually: "Just say it is a gift to several countries. They can give it to those seriously ill patients."
The guard took the package subconsciously, and his palms sank.
This thing is pretty heavy! "What is this?"
The guard was a little curious, but more cautious, "I need to open it and take a look first."
"Can."
Gu Dan nodded.
The guard opened the package, revealing its contents.
Are there pills inside?
They are called elixirs, but they don't look like them. They are only the size of an ordinary person's little finger nail, quite small, but there are a lot of them.
If you get close and smell it, you can actually smell the aroma of glutinous rice! These things are, of course, small balls made of glutinous rice.
The only difference is that Gu Dan mixed it with Aoki liquid.
According to his experiments, without his maintenance, the Qingmu Liquid can only last for three months at most in the outside world, after which it will continue to lose its vitality.
The four countries brought lavish gifts to celebrate the founding of the Xia Dynasty, so naturally the Xia Dynasty could not not express its gratitude in return, as that would be too petty.
But the Xia Dynasty itself did not have enough manpower, materials and talents! Gu Dan simply solved the problem for Wang Mang, and by the way, he could also teach others how to cure diseases and save lives.
I believe that the four countries will not only not feel neglected, but will be extremely grateful.
This kind of small favor is never too much to take on.
However, after another promotion, the Qingmu Liquid that had condensed into liquid state recovered much more slowly than before. Although there were some changes in quality, the quantity was ruthlessly reduced a lot. It could no longer be wasted as ruthlessly as before when using internal energy.
What surprised Gu Dan the most was that the total amount of Qingmu Liquid was limited!
As long as the Aoki Liquid he threw out does not disappear, new Aoki Liquid will not be produced in his body no matter what.
Only when the external Aoki Liquid dissipates or is used up can new Aoki Liquid be produced.
If there is no decrease, there will be no increase!
This kind of innate destiny is an area that Gu Dan has never touched before.
Whether it is the skyrocketing lifespan demanded in the next stage, or the particularity of this destiny, it all shows that this inner breath technique itself is by no means an ordinary thing.
Unfortunately, even Qingpingzi himself couldn't figure out the origin of the inner breathing technique.
I just know that this thing has existed for a long time, at least earlier than any country that can be found now.
That is why Gu Dan has to start taking the initiative both in terms of practicality and need. He wants to see what kind of changes the next stage of Qingmu Huasheng Jue can bring to him and whether there will be any unexpected surprises.
For example, it can help people live longer!
Even if Gu Dan didn't have this need, wouldn't he make a fortune by selling it to the immortal when he returned? Now as the number one in the world, invincible, he could use various methods to increase his own development to face the possible threats when the immortal returned.
It’s not that Gu Dan is hostile to the returning immortal, it’s mainly for his own safety considerations.
Just because you don't cause trouble doesn't mean trouble won't come to you.
There is no doubt that only with a strong enough foundation can one withstand various risks.
It is said that those who cannot bring peace to one generation are not qualified to bring peace to all generations.
What Gu Dan needs to consider is not just one lifetime, but the word "forever".
It is better to be prepared than to be unprepared. He doesn't want to be killed by the aftermath of the battle between two Jindan powerhouses just after the immortal is born, or be wiped off the map by a casual blow from a Yuanying monster.
The increase in strength was stuck in the attempt to impact the extremely strange and innate realm.
In the short term, Gu Dan does not plan to try this approach. At least he needs to be adequately prepared.
As for the cultivation of spirit and soul, referring to the White Lotus Visualization Diagram, it requires steady work and cannot be achieved overnight.
The only area where he could make unremitting progress was the Qingmu Huasheng Jue! It was obvious to the naked eye that in the next few years or decades, he would probably have to continue to cure illnesses and save lives, working hard to accumulate lifespan.
"I'm already a grown man, but why do I still feel like I'm just working part-time?"
Thinking of this, Gu couldn't help but feel quite emotional.
When you are hungry, having a full meal is a good thing; when you are full, you want something to play with; when you have something to play with, you don’t want to do too tiring work; when you don’t do too tiring work, you start to fear getting old; when you really become immortal, you start to worry about your own safety endlessly!
People are really never satisfied.
Perhaps only when you are truly invincible, you won't have to rush around for all kinds of frustrations, and you can do whatever you want, right? Such a day must be something that people yearn for.
And he is constantly working towards that direction.
More than 20 years of silence have resulted in the company standing proudly in the world today, which coincides with the passing of a generation.
Time is on his side!
