One night when the wind and rain hit the banana trees, Xiao Hei drank three glasses of wine, but little did he know that his unintentional act made the two little guys' cultivation progress faster by more than ten years.
Just as the old man said, if Xiaolang and Qingqing were to wait until they were two years old before taking such a magical medicine, even the old man would not dare to try it easily.
Except for masters like the old monk.
As for the little ones now, one is less than one year old and the other is just one year old, it is the time when heaven and man become one.
With the old man's cultivation, he could refine most of the medicinal power for the two little guys with a wave of his hand, and they only needed to slowly refine the rest by themselves.
It can be said that in this way, the two little guys are born with supernatural powers. As long as they start to learn to walk and talk, it will not be long before they can directly gather Qi and build the foundation.
It's just that Xiao Hei was born as a Madaha, so how can he know how to teach others to practice?
Fortunately, the old man had divine power and could not help Xiao Hei, but it was a piece of cake to help the two little guys refine the snake's inner elixir and snake gallbladder.
Xiao Hei, who got up early, was not lazy. After practicing his sword for a while, he asked the inn clerk for two large braziers.
Two grills were set up in the backyard of the inn, and the big snakes brought back were sliced, marinated with salt and spices, and roasted slowly on the grills.
He planned to spend two days roasting hundreds of kilograms of snake meat into dried meat and take it to the Imperial City of Northern Qi to eat slowly.
After getting up, the old man helped Xiao Hei feed the two little ones. Seeing that the goat milk was almost finished, he carried Xiao Qingqing and walked out of the inn.
A message came from afar: "Xiao Hei Barbecue, I'm going to buy two pots of goat milk and come back."
The little white wolf looked at the old man and barked twice, obviously you remembered to bring your sister back?
Xiao Hei held her in his arms, flipping the snake meat on the grill, and said with a smile: "When you don't need to breastfeed anymore, my brother will feed you meat."
The little white wolf whined twice and then closed his eyes again.
Her mother is gone, and the Xiao Hei now belongs to her mother. Fortunately, she is not hungry, otherwise she would bite like Qingqing.
So, Xiao Hei and the old man worked hard for two days and finally roasted the big snake into dried snake meat.
After drinking the snake meat soup, the two little guys became stronger and more energetic. They were able to stay awake and have trouble with Xiao Hei for two hours a day.
It's just that for some reason, Xiao Qingqing still likes to bite Xiao Hei at every turn. Although Xiao Hei's skin is thick and cannot be broken, he still screams when she bites him.
It made the two little guys giggle non-stop, as if Xiao Hei was their pistachio.
No, it should be said that the two little guys have regarded Xiao Hei as their mother.
Fortunately, the old man hired two coachmen. In the following days, Xiao Hei could finally stay in the carriage with the two little guys and go crazy for a while every day.
Every day, he spends half an hour teaching Qingqing to speak, whether she understands it or not. He starts with his brother, then his grandfather and sister.
In the end, he was taught everything about eating, drinking, being hungry, sleeping, and hugging.
While they were making a fuss, the carriage in front stopped. The old man told him that he had arrived in Liangzhou and could take the materials of the big snake in his hand to deal with them.
After all, taking such a treasure to Yecheng for disposal will only make people care about it.
Lao He had already reminded Xiao Hei to dispose of this material on the road as soon as possible so as not to cause trouble for himself.
Xiao Hei has also heard from his brother that it is a crime to hold a jade in his arms.
When we arrived at Liangzhou City, we were not far from Yecheng, the imperial city of Northern Qi.
The two first found a clean inn to stay. After a night's rest, the old man went out to find a merchant with the information about the big snake, and bought some milk for the two little guys.
Xiao Hei seemed a little more honest, playing with the two little guys in the courtyard of the inn.
If he couldn't get milk or buy goat's milk these days, Xiao Hei would make snake meat soup and white porridge and serve the two little guys carefully.
After the old man used the inner elixir of the big snake and the snake gallbladder to clean the bones and cut the marrow of the two little guys, they seemed to be less picky about food than before.
Xiao Hei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, whenever possible, he will ask the maid in the inn to take a hot bath for Xiao Qingqing, while Little White Wolf does it himself.
After a few baths, Xiaoqing gradually became more honest and stopped kicking and biting when taking a bath.
Seeing the two little guys snoring on the bed after having enough to eat and play, Xiao Hei reminded himself again and again.
"I'm just a brother, not your mother."
What he didn't expect was that the Orochi's materials were indeed sold at a good price.
When the old man handed two bags full of gold coins to Xiao Hei, even he who had seen money was frightened.
After thinking about it, Xiao Hei only took one bag.
Pushing the other bag in front of the old man, he said softly: "Since there is no shortage of money, let's buy a shop in Yecheng. At worst, we can sell it later."
After staying with Li Xiuyuan for a long time, Xiao Hei also learned to find a safe place for himself, let alone two little guys.
After thinking for a while, he added: "It would be best if there is a shop in the front and a larger yard in the back, which can give the two little guys a place to go crazy."
When they grow older, Xiao Hei will teach the two little guys how to practice swordsmanship.
Even if Xiao Bai Lang Yan'er couldn't learn the sword before she transformed, she still had to watch and learn with Xiao Qingqing.
How could I have the time to teach one after another? It seems that my brother also taught me and Sister Shuzi back then, but only a few times.
Later, his brother accompanied him to practice sword practice.
The old man was stunned. He didn't expect that Xiao Hei seemed to like money, but he was not as greedy for money as he imagined.
After putting away the money bag, he smiled and said: "When we get to the Imperial City, we will slowly look for a shop."
After saying that, he took out two pots of goat milk and handed them to Xiao Hei: "I was lucky today. I bought two pots. It seems that we will have to raise two dairy goats ourselves when we come to our imperial city."
Smelling the fragrance of milk, the two little guys screamed restlessly again.
Xiao Hei sighed and said: "Shopkeeper, why did God find this hard job for me? Is it possible that Xiao Hei was too comfortable following his brother before, so he is trying another trick to torture me?"
The old man looked at him and smiled lightly: "This is your blessing."
While pouring the milk, Xiao Hei looked at the two squealing guys and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we have them all."
…
After finishing handling the materials on their bodies, the two of them did not stay in Liangzhou City any longer. The weather was perfect the next day and they rode out of Liangzhou City.
If we don't hurry up, it will probably snow before we get to the Imperial City.
Not far after leaving Liangzhou City, Xiao Hei heard the morning bell of the temple ringing, and immediately called the driver to stop.
He shouted to the old man in front of him: "Shopkeeper, let's go to that temple."
My brother has practiced Buddhism, and even Xiao Hei was very happy to see the Buddha. When he saw the temple, he wanted to go inside.
The old man replied: "Then let's go to the temple first. We'll stay for half an hour before setting off."
The little white wolf howled, obviously wanting to go down and play.
Qingqing also pulled Xiao Hei's sleeves, started babbling, and pointed her little finger outside the carriage, obviously like Xiao Yan'er, she wanted to go out to play.
Xiao Hei looked at the neat fields on the side of the road and couldn't help but murmur to himself: "The City Lord's Mansion in Liangzhou is really rich. How much tax will be charged on so many fields?"
Ever since I lived in the palace for a few days, the thing I listened to the Queen talking about the most all day long was how to collect taxes.
Looking at everything in front of him, Xiao Hei started to chatter unconsciously.
Unexpectedly, when the coachman heard this, he shook his head and said, "Mr., make no mistake, the fields here have nothing to do with Liangzhou City."
"What should I say?" Xiao Hei hugged Xiao Yan'er and looked out the window and asked: "If such fertile land does not belong to the government, is it not the private property of the wealthy family?"
"That's not true."
The coachman replied while driving: "The fields here used to be owned by each family, but later they were all donated to the Baiyu Temple on the mountain."
Xiao Hei was stunned and blurted out: "They donated the land to the temple, what do they eat?"
The coachman continued to reply: "They calculated an account. After donating to the temple, they no longer have to pay taxes. Excluding the harvest distributed to the temple, the tax paid is 20% more than in previous years..."
Xiao Hei frowned upon hearing this, thinking that if the Queen were here, she would definitely chop off these guys' heads and hang them on the city gate to show the public.
Everyone donated their fields to the temple. What did the adults in the imperial city eat? Where did His Majesty the Emperor get the money to distribute to the ministers in the court?
The problem Xiao Hei encountered today, not to mention his brother Li Xiuyuan, even the old Taoist priest above Jiutian would not have imagined.
Because he lived with the Queen and Qingyu for a long time, he also heard the emperor's way of governing the country.
Although I didn't completely remember it, I didn't forget the principle of paying taxes when farming.
As the carriage moved forward, in Xiao Hei's eyes, the Baiyu Temple in front of him was no longer a Buddhist temple outside Liangzhou City.
It seems that with Baiyu Temple as the center, it has become a Buddhist kingdom spreading to all directions.
???????????????A country that is beyond the imperial city of Northern Qi and does not require taxes.
What if there were more foreign countries like Baiyu Temple in the Northern Qi Dynasty? tens of? How should the emperor of Northern Qi govern his country?
Thinking of this, he felt that he should record this incident when he arrived in the imperial city of Northern Qi, and wait until one day to return to the imperial city of Da Zhou to talk to the empress.
The carriage stopped outside the mountain gate. Xiao Hei carried the two little guys up the stairs, followed by the old man, and slowly headed towards Baiyu Temple.
It is said that the mountains are actually just a hilly area. Compared with the Xilin Temple on the Snow Mountain of the Imperial City, its majesty is much inferior.
It only took them a quarter of an hour to get from the mountain gate to the Buddhist hall.
A huge golden palace stood in front of the two of them, and there were many palaces surrounding it, making the White Jade Temple look more sacred than Xiao Hei imagined.
Since Xiao Hei came to Baiyu Temple because of his brother's Buddhist practice, he still made offerings to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in front of the merit box in front of the main hall.
Then he held the two little ones and came to the Third Buddha.
Put the two little guys on the futon in front of the Buddha, respectfully burn three sticks of incense and kowtow three times.
Xiao Yan'er was willing to behave, and followed her brother's example by kowtowing to the Buddhas on the futon. Although her appearance was funny, it was somewhat interesting.
Only Xiao Qingqing looked at the Buddhas above her head, and for some reason she burst into tears.
Just as the old man standing outside the temple frowned slightly, a sharp shout suddenly sounded from the Buddhist temple: "Where did you find this evildoer!"
The old man standing outside the hall sighed in his heart: "God's will!"
Xiao Hei, who was reaching out to hug Xiao Qingqing, became furious when he heard this. He turned around and yelled: "Where did the devil come from? How dare you act so arrogantly in front of your Grandpa Xiao Hei!"
For Li Xiuyuan, Xiao Hei was his reverse scale, and anyone who dared to touch him would be rewarded.
For Xiao Hei, the two little guys at the moment are also his enemies. Whoever dares to insult his sister, not even the Nine Heavens Gods and Buddhas, can stop his anger!
Before Xiao Hei finished speaking, he saw a six-foot-tall middle-aged monk with a sinister face appear from the left side of the main hall.
The middle-aged monk in monk's robes was furious when he saw Xiao Hei, who was only nine years old. He thought to himself, "You are a child with a yellow mouth, but you dare to call me grandpa in front of all the Buddhas!"
Looking for death!
"It turns out that you are a few monsters from the mountains who dare to disturb the tranquility of my Buddhist sect. I will take you away with one palm!"
After saying that, the middle-aged monk stepped forward and slapped Xiao Hei who was holding Xiao Yan'er and Xiao Qingqing!
