Chapter 202: Diji: Look carefully, little fox, this is how a matchmaker works!
In the courtyard.
Li Hong fell into a long silence.
His eldest son is a genius.
How could he not know about this?
It was only when he was educating his other sons that he discovered how smart Li Zhiyi was.
Although the totem source energy caused Li Zhiyi to enter a state where his emotions were often out of control early on.
But it also made him an extremely precocious person.
Not to mention children of the same age.
Even adults may not see things more clearly than a six-year-old child in some aspects.
Zhiyi...likes reading.
I also like to ask myself for advice when I encounter something I don’t understand.
It’s a pity that such a child may have to stay in the study room forever.
Li Hong felt a little disappointed. In fact, he had been thinking about a question before. If he had not been stressed out by Pu Minglong and Li Runyue at that time, and had educated Li Zhiyi in a gentler way, many things could have been avoided.
after all.
Today, Li Xingluo can actually stay on the altar for an hour.
The demon puppet looked at him with a half-smile: "Father-in-law, do you still want to see this Memory Gu?"
"Look!"
Li Hong took a deep breath and placed the Memory Gu between his eyebrows.
The perspective of this memory undoubtedly comes from Qin Muye.
In Li Xingluo's sight, the insecure little girl has completely disappeared.
It was as if the whole soul had settled down.
Every gesture and movement is full of confidence.
Although he was still struggling and in pain on the altar.
But when he jumped down from the altar, he just raised his eyebrows and laughed off all the hardships he had experienced in the past.
Take off the Memory Gu.
Li Hong remained silent for a long time. When he recovered, he said with emotion: "It is her luck to meet you."
The demon puppet smiled slightly: "She could have been luckier."
Li Hong: “…”
Yes!
If I were a qualified father.
Then she doesn't have to wait for a husband to save her from danger.
Li Hong breathed a sigh of relief.
He suddenly felt that this abdication might be a trap in itself.
When I remove the word "emperor", it becomes easier for me to think about things from a father's perspective.
But it was obvious that he was not a good enough father.
Sort out your emotions.
He couldn't help but ask: "How did you do that?"
Yao Kui thought for a moment and said with a smile, "I have listened to a few lectures given by my elder brother-in-law. He said that the so-called 'gods' are just a group of people who pursue power. The so-called absorbing willpower is nothing more than concentrating the energy of the general public on themselves.
The way of drawing and utilizing the power of will is different, and the path of "God" is also different.
The so-called bloodline of God's messenger is nothing more than an imprint of God's path.
The 'god' behind the Pu and Mu families pursues the ultimate desire.
They believe that all actions of all living things in the world are in pursuit of survival and reproduction.
So they try to explain everything in terms of survival and reproduction.
There is certainly nothing wrong with this approach.
But... the means are too crude and vulgar.
They treat every living being as a piece of rotten meat seeking to multiply.
This is obviously against common sense, which is why they keep running into obstacles.”
"color!"
Li Hong couldn't help but sigh. He had thought Pu Minglong and Li Runyue were crazy before, but he also felt that there were clues and they were not just crazy without any signs.
Now he has some understanding.
The alien gods are fighting against each other, so how is it possible that every god has the same path?
Desire is certainly an entry point, but there are definitely differences in the perception of desire.
Pu Minglong and Li Runyue were going crazy.
On the contrary, Pu Wanjun, who is as sober as a normal person, can better embody the concept of "God".
They...seem to be completely indifferent to the process and performance of achieving their desires.
And I believe that ignoring them is a form of practice.
It’s just that Pu Wanjun was born gentle and sentimental, and she always blamed herself for not being a qualified believer.
Li Hong's voice was somewhat bitter: "Then how does Zhiyi think it should be solved?"
Yao Kui smiled and said, "Brother-in-law thinks that the rotation of the sun and the moon, spring, autumn, winter and summer are meaningless to most people. Only the shining stars, snow, moon, wind and flowers are the meaning of life.
The cultivation of "God" is based on human beings, so human beings cannot be regarded as rotten meat.
People have struggled to survive in the barbaric era, then fought against ferocious beasts together in the tribal era, and now the dynasty order has collapsed. No one knows what the world will be like in the future.
The inner driving force is, of course, survival and reproduction.
The outwardly manifest morals, desires, laws, and dogmas have changed countless times.
The human world will develop and will continue to develop. It cannot be explained by a lump of rotten meat.
The future is unknown.
The knowledge inside is endless.
If you want to become a god, you should study humanity in depth.
Anyone who ignores the desire to survive and reproduce is extremely foolish.
Those who simply and crudely attribute everything to survival and reproduction are as stupid as pigs. "
Li Hong: “!!!”
He was shocked by this statement for a long time.
Over the years, he has been preoccupied with state affairs and has had no energy to study the principles behind many things.
Hearing what Li Zhiyi said, I felt like I had suddenly been enlightened.
I was in a daze for a long time.
He suddenly laughed out loud, and patted Shen Kui's shoulder while laughing: "Look! My son!"
Shen Kui flattered with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty!"
The demon puppet curled his lips and said, "I have already cut my bones to repay my father!"
Li Hong: “…”
The smile on his face suddenly stopped.
He fell into a deeper depression.
The demon puppet was afraid that he would die if he got angry, so he quickly excused him, "Of course! It's also because you laid a good foundation for him!"
Li Hong's expression eased a little then: "Can we deal with the Baiyue attack on Lingnan this time?"
The demon puppet smiled and said, "Of course you can!"
"That's good!"
Li Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although Li Zhixuan's attitude towards Lingnan and Nanwu City was a bit petty.
But in fact, there is nothing wrong with it for the monarch.
As a monarch, after taking the throne, one should indeed eliminate destabilizing factors.
Let’s not talk about whether it violates the will of the late emperor.
Reclaiming the power of Lingnan and Nanwu City is always the right choice.
If everything were to follow the ideas of the previous emperor, then there would be no need for him to be emperor.
What really made Li Hong unhappy about Li Zhixuan were two other points.
First, they were fond of ostentation and indulged in the false prosperity of a wise ruler, and gradually became deaf to the voices concerning foreign threats.
two……
He clearly knew that Pu Minglong was present in Baiyue, but he had no intention of stopping him by force.
He even wanted to borrow Pu Minglong's power to attack Lingnan.
Of course it will work.
But don’t you think about it, would Pu Minglong do such a thankless task?
Does he also want to use this incident to achieve his own goals?
In short.
In terms of attitude towards Pu Minglong.
Li Hong was quite dissatisfied with Li Zhixuan.
However, this dissatisfaction has not yet reached an unbearable level.
Fortunately.
Qin Muye has the confidence to deal with it.
Li Hong stared at the demon puppet for a while, and suddenly asked, "Do you have many puppets?"
"A lot, what's the matter?"
"Since there are so many..."
Li Hong curled his lips and said, "Then leave one to accompany an old man like me to relieve my boredom."
The demon puppet raised his eyebrows and said, "I am a demon puppet of the upper demon realm. Am I staying here just to keep you company and entertain you?"
Li Hong slammed the table and said, "What else? Otherwise, I, an old man, will be bored to death. If something goes wrong in the future, who will drive the evildoer off the throne?"
Demon Puppet: “???”
No?
Why are you still acting like a rogue?
aside.
Shen Kui sighed softly.
After all, he is just a lonely old man!
……
Lingnan.
Princess's Mansion.
Li Xingluo looked at Niu Pingtian, who looked miserable, and said with a smile, "Pingtian, you should change your diet. Your feed-to-manure ratio is too low recently. You have absorbed everything. How can you produce fertilizer to nourish the farmland?"
Niu Pingtian was shocked: "Princess Di! You are so heartless to say that. I have rectal prolapse every day. All the doctors in Lingnan who are good at treating buttocks, which one would not feel sorry for me, Niu Pingtian?
What's wrong with you asking me to absorb more nutrients?
Although I have already broken through to the Great Demon level, I am still thinking about working towards the Demon Emperor level!
I am also a cow with dreams. I am in the period of growing up. Why do I keep pulling? "
Li Xingluo smiled and asked: "Then guess why you were able to break through the Great Demon so quickly."
"Because the Great Saint Temple worships me!"
"Why does the Great Saint Temple always worship you? With so many incense offerings, you can even be ranked second."
"because……"
Niu Pingtian's expression became serious. He pointed at his nose and said, "I poop a lot." Li Xingluo held his cheek and said, "Hmm?"
"hiss……"
Niu Pingtian scratched his head frantically.
Long thought.
He felt that Li Xingluo was right.
Gritting his teeth, he said in a deep voice: "I can accept the new diet, but Princess Di, you must arrange two more doctors to treat my buttocks. Also, give me two days off. Recently, there are cattle-tribe beasts wreaking havoc in the east. Although I am an agricultural official, the task of cleaning up the mess must be left to me."
"Yes, yes!"
Li Xingluo smiled and waved his hand.
Watching Niu Pingtian leave, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional. How great it would be if all officials were as easy to please as Niu Pingtian.
She had indeed not expected that Lingnan's development model, which was purely about providing welfare to the people, would have so many problems in its operation.
In a nutshell, officials at all levels want to reap the benefits, but very few actually reach the hands of the people.
This year, she has devoted most of her energy to this.
However, thanks to the God's bloodline's keen sensitivity to desire, she has been gradually improving in the fight against human greed. After several policies, she has basically maintained a balance between officials and the people.
of course.
If we want to promote it throughout the country, we must make some changes based on local conditions.
Fortunately, the officials of the Princess's Mansion have gone deep into the people's lives and will be of great use in the future.
"Then the great temple keeper, can I go too?"
Tushan Qinglan looked at Li Xingluo, still somewhat confused as to why Li Xingluo did not accept incense offerings but insisted on the title of "Grand Temple Priest".
But that’s okay.
I spend all day helping people find love and treating infertility.
Do what you like and get rewards.
This is truly a life like that of a god!
In the past, with so many incense sticks, those religious sects would have fought over it to death.
whee!
I have helped create so many couples in this world, which should be enough for me to return to Tushan!
I love working here the most.
"and many more!"
"Ah? Anything else?"
"Qinglan, come here for a moment."
"Oh!"
Seeing her acting mysterious, Tushan Qinglan also moved closer and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
Li Xingluo lowered his voice and asked, "Recently I saw Long Ji bringing back a lot of treasures from the sea. Did she give you a mission?"
"what!"
Tushan Qinglan's expression suddenly changed, and the whole fox looked a little hesitant.
Li Xingluo asked in a low voice: "Are we one of us?"
Tushan Qinglan quickly said, "As long as you don't kill my customers, we are of course family!"
"Then tell me about it!"
"But Sister Ao Jin won't let me say it."
"I'll open another marriage temple for you."
"She said she wanted us to help her sneak back, and the time is set on the day you ascend the throne."
"..."
Li Xingluo's expression changed: "What else did she say?"
Tu Shan Qing Lan quickly said, "She said she hates Zhu Long the most, but because they are allies, she has to pretend to have a good relationship with him every day. It's really hard."
Li Xingluo pursed her red lips and said, "Then do you think she really hates Zhulong?"
"Of course not, she likes it very much."
"Does Zhulong like her?"
"Of course he likes it! I feel like Zhulong wants to mate with his eyes..."
"..."
Li Xingluo felt a little sour in his heart, but he couldn't help getting excited.
She thought for a moment, lowered her voice and asked, "If Pu Minglong gave you money now and asked you to seal Mu Ye's cultivation, would you still do it?"
Tushan Qinglan immediately frowned and said, "Except for the main mission, it's up to me whether I accept other missions or not. The incense you give me is much more than the reward for this mission. Do you think I'm stupid?"
"of course not!"
Li Xingluo smiled and shook his head: "Then you find a chance to tell Long Ji that my throne is actually secure. Since she escorted us to Lingnan, both sides have been even. And you won't do anything to Muye, so there is no need for her protection here.
In fact, he no longer has any concerns about this world.
The sooner you smuggle back, the sooner you can start over.
If she asks you who said this, just say it was Qin Muye who said it. "
"what?"
Tu Shan Qing Lan was shocked: "Are you chasing her away?"
Li Xingluo smiled and shook his head: "On the contrary! In short, just do as I say."
Tushan Qinglan was a little confused, but still nodded.
after all.
The woman in front of her was willing to live in the same yard with her husband and a female who had a close connection with her husband.
Not only am I not angry, I'm even excited.
He must have been deeply poisoned by the evil of polygamy among human beings.
The brain is broken, it won't hurt anyone.
"But……"
Tushan Qinglan was still a little hesitant.
Li Xingluo was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Tu Shan Qing Lan clutched her little notebook: "But if she doesn't leave, then I will lose a business, right? She paid me a lot..."
Li Xingluo frowned: "Being a mercenary is just a job, being a matchmaker is the pursuit! You think about making money all day long, when can you become a truly qualified matchmaker."
Tushan Qinglan's expression suddenly became solemn.
A true matchmaker must dare to ignore the temptation of money.
Even have to overcome many unexpected difficulties.
For example, the sister in front of us is filled with the wish that "lovers will eventually get married".
She even tried to separate her husband from other women!
She is the real matchmaker.
I still have a lot to learn!
Tushan Qinglan glanced at the sky, took a deep breath and said, "Then let's do as you say! But I have to go back to Baiyue first, and show up there every day, otherwise Pu Minglong will count it as absenteeism."
"go Go!"
Li Xingluo smiled and waved his hand.
In recent days, the Baiyue people have been busy training their troops, so Pu Minglong is naturally worried about being assassinated, so it is normal for him to be careful.
After all, his bodyguards don't seem very reliable.
If you don't look at it every day.
You never know when he will start to play wild.
Look at these matchmakers who act as matchmakers every day. They almost forget who they are.
Watching Tushan Qinglan disappear with a whoosh.
Li Xingluo then stretched lazily, took a long-unseen deep breath, and returned to the inner courtyard where he rested.
The door of Ao Jin's room was closed, and he was indeed practicing as usual.
Recently she seems to be becoming more and more obsessed with cultivation.
In short, if you can avoid seeing people, then do so.
"Squeak!"
Push open the door of the study room.
Qin Muye was indeed writing and drawing.
Li Xingluo hugged his neck from behind: "Muye, are you still preparing?"
"Of course I have to prepare."
Qin Muye smiled. Although he had a sure victory in this battle, it was basically impossible for him to lose.
But there is a difference between winning and winning.
There is definitely a difference between revealing one card and revealing several cards.
If Baiyue were a small country, it would force out its own drone fleet.
What's the difference between that and losing?
So, it still needs to be designed well.
Li Xingluo didn't care whether he was serious or not, he just turned his head and gently bit his ear: "I have been busy with government affairs for more than a year and neglected you. Are you angry?"
"Ah? Busy with government affairs?"
Qin Muye was shocked: "Don't you squeeze me once a day?"
Li Xingluo snorted softly: "Only once a day is also called squeezing? I saw that you were not satisfied every time, so I wanted to ask you! Otherwise... let's go find Yuji now, it seems like you haven't had enough fun in a long time."
Qin Muye's mouth twitched: "She is still with the baby..."
Li Xingluo said, "I don't care. You have to find a way to help me relieve my boredom. Otherwise, you can find someone to drink with us."
"drink wine?"
Qin Muye grinned: "Drinking still needs to be arranged, just call Ao Jin over and drink directly. The dragon clan has a good alcohol tolerance, I guarantee that they can accompany you to have a good time."
Li Xingluo thought for a moment and said, "That's fine... But I'll leave this matter to you. You must prepare the best wine and food in Lingnan. If we don't enjoy it, I'll hold you accountable!"
"Go, go, go!"
Qin Muye smiled and nodded.
This year has indeed been a bit boring.
Every day I am busy with development, and I am also practicing in my free time.
Life does need some spice.
Then there will be no need to waste time on tactics.
Prepare the wine first!
……
night!
Qin Muye searched for fine wines in every city, and also tried out several good chefs.
The princess's mansion was much quieter.
Ao Jin's face turned pale, and he looked at Tushan Qinglan with a slightly cold gaze, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Qin Muye really said, I want to leave, can I leave now?"
