"Crackling——"
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, another new year comes as scheduled.
With the birth of five young masters and three young ladies, Tiance Mansion spent the fourth year of Tianbao in a lively and festive atmosphere.
As the new year passes, time enters the fifth year of Tianbao.
Bai Yuxian's life is still stable and normal. After all, as a general of the imperial army of the Tang Dynasty, there is basically nothing to do in a stable world with no rebellion, foreign enemies, and foreign races being suppressed by border troops.
Bai Yuxian was naturally happy to be free and continued to develop in secret. In addition to daily life at home, spending time with his wife, and checking the development of Tiance Army and Bafang Chamber of Commerce from time to time, the rest of his time was basically spent on cultivation.
Bai Yuxian's daily practice time is basically no less than ten hours.
However, five years after entering Tianbao, two major things happened in Datang.
The first thing was that after the New Year, Emperor Li Longji suddenly ordered the construction of a thousands-mile tribute road from Lingnan to the capital. The reason for building this tribute road was because Yang Yuhuan liked to eat lychees, and lychees were only available in Lingnan. Bian is rich and famous.
So in order to please Yang Yuhuan and allow Yang Yuhuan to eat fresh lychees, Li Longji decided to build a thousands-mile tribute road from Lingnan to the capital.
For this reason, the entire capital and even the whole country aroused a lot of discussion and impeachment dissatisfaction. They felt that Li Longji was completely wasting people and money. Just for such a trivial matter as Yang Yuhuan could eat fresh lychees, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of financial, material and human resources. Come and build such a tribute road of thousands of miles.
Even Yang Yuhuan herself persuaded Li Longji, because Yang Yuhuan knew that if this tribute road was really built, she would definitely be stigmatized, and she would be scolded for causing harm to the country and the people.
But Li Longji ignored it at all. Now Li Longji's mentality is basically that he has worked hard to govern the world for so many years. Now that he is in his old age and has created such a prosperous age, why can't he enjoy it?
What's wrong with building a tribute road for your beloved concubine?
Finally, under Li Longji's strict order, the tribute road from Lingnan to the capital began to be built. It was really——
The smile of a concubine in the world of mortals, no one knew it was a lychee.
In ancient times, there was King You of Zhou who played with the princes with a smile and beacon fire for the beauty Bomei. Today, Li Longji built thousands of miles of tribute roads to please the imperial concubine Yang Yuhuan.
It has to be said that the more advanced Li Longji is, the more he behaves like a coward.
Indulging in pleasure without caring about anything else.
It is worth mentioning that the brothers Bai Wen and Bai Wu, who were originally exiled to Lingnan, also joined the team that built the tribute road.
The second thing is that right after the New Year and the beginning of spring, heavy rains lasted for more than ten days in the Yellow River Basin in Henan Province, causing the Yellow River to burst its banks and cause massive floods. The entire Henan Road and most of Huainan Road suffered heavy rains. The disaster, with tens of millions of victims, was a rare major flood in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
——
“Rumble—!”
Huainan.
Tremendous thunder resounded across the sky and the earth.
Dark clouds cover the sky, and heavy rain pours down. It has been raining continuously for more than half a month, and it has not stopped yet.
The Tianhe River seemed to have burst its banks.
At this time, it was on an uninhabited peak in Huainan.
An old man wearing a robe, with a stooped figure, leaning on a dragon-headed cane, with white hair and beard, and looked as old as a longevity star stood on the solitary peak, looking up at the sky.
The old man's eyes looked very cloudy, just like his whole appearance, and his whole body seemed to give people a feeling of sluggishness.
But there is something special about it. When those turbid eyes look at the sky, it feels like they can see through everything.
Moreover, the sky was pouring with heavy rain, and the surroundings were whipped by strong winds. The old man had nothing to cover his hands, but strangely, not a drop of rain fell on the old man.
Not even a ray of wind seemed to blow on the old man, and the beard and hair robe on his body did not move at all.
Seen from a distance, the old man is standing in the wind and rain, but it is more like he is standing outside the world and the wind and rain are not with him.
The old man's eyes stared at the sky for nearly a moment.
At this moment.
Above the sky.
Among the dark clouds.
A ray of golden light suddenly fell from the dark clouds above the sky.
The old man raised his right hand, and the golden light fell directly from the sky and fell into the old man's hand, then turned into a wordless heavenly book.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
The floods that lasted for more than half a month have finally passed.
However, at this time, as the floods passed, the weather became warmer, and too many lives died in the floods, plagues sprang up in many places in Henan and Huainan.
At this time, outside a county town in Huainan, a middle-aged Taoist priest who looked to be in his forties was making soup and distributing it one by one to the sick victims around him.
The Taoist's name is Li Su, a Taoist from Yiyoufang. He was an orphan when he was young. Later, he was fortunate enough to be favored by Taoist Yiyoufang and accepted him as his disciple to study the Dharma.
Today, Li Suyi's Taoist cultivation has reached the realm of Yin Shen. At the same time, in addition to Taoism, he has also learned the art of medical treatment.
This trip to Huainan, I saw the suffering of the people after the disaster and the plague, so I practiced medicine to help people along the way.
"Thank you, Taoist Master."
"Thank you, Taoist Master."
"."
The victims who were treated by Li Su also felt Li Su's kindness and thanked him one after another after receiving the decoction.
at this time.
Li Su suddenly couldn't help but stare. Suddenly, in front of him, an old man with white beard and hair, leaning on a cane, stooped, old but like a longevity star, slowly walked towards him.
The old man's steps seemed very slow, but every step he took covered a distance of several feet.
Moreover, the victims around him seemed to be unable to see the old man at all.
Master!
This is probably a legendary land god-like figure.
Li Su took a deep breath, then quickly stepped forward to look at the old man and saluted.
"Junior Li Su, meet your senior!"
The old man's figure also stopped in front of Li Su, and looked at Li Sudao with an inexplicable smile.
"Can you see me?"
Li Su was shocked when he heard this, because at this moment he realized that not only did the other people around him not seem to see the old man, they even seemed to ignore him all of a sudden. They were all minding their own business, and there was no one at all. Notice him and the old man.
Who is this? !
Li Su was greatly shocked, and his attitude suddenly became more respectful, and he spoke.
"Yes, juniors can see seniors."
"It seems like you and I are somewhat destined."
The old man spoke again, looking at Li Su with a smile, and then at the surrounding victims and the place where Li Su was practicing medicine to help the victims and prepare medicine.
"You practice medicine and treat diseases, and you care about the people. It seems that you are also a person with great kindness. In this case, I will give this book to you."
As he spoke, the old man raised his right hand, and a scroll appeared in his hand.
"Thank you, senior."
Li Su took it respectfully, but when he took it, he found that there was nothing on it. It was just a wordless book.
At this time, the old man said again.
"This book is called "Plain Book", also known as "Huangshi Tianshu". Only those who are destined to get it can get a glimpse of its content. Otherwise, even if others get it, it will only be a wordless book."
"Throughout the ages, three people have obtained this book before, and you are the fourth person."
"Yellowstone Heavenly Book"!
Li Su was greatly shocked when he heard this.
What is the "Yellow Stone Heavenly Book"? This is the legendary "Wordless Heavenly Book", a divine book that appeared in ancient times.
According to ancient and modern records, the "Huangshi Tianshu" appeared three times in total.
The earliest first appearance was when Emperor Xuanyuan led his human race to fight against the great demon Chi You in ancient times. During the battle, the human race led by Emperor Xuanyuan was no match for the great demon Chi You. At this time, the Nine Heavens Xuannv in the sky gave a book from the lower realm. Help Emperor Xuanyuan lead the human race to defeat the great demon Chi You.
The Heavenly Book given to Emperor Xuanyuan by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady is the "Huangshi Heavenly Book".
The second appearance after that was during the ancient Shang and Zhou dynasties, when Grand Duke Jiang Ziya obtained the "Huangshi Tianshu" and assisted King Wu of Zhou to overthrow Shang Zhou.
The last third appearance was during the Qin and Han dynasties at the end of ancient times. Zhang Liang, the remaining marquis, obtained the "Huangshi Tianshu" and eventually assisted Han Emperor Gaozu in establishing the Han Dynasty.
At the same time, every time the "Huangshi Heavenly Book" appeared, it was a time of great chaos and dynasty changes.
Now the "Huangshi Heavenly Book" has reappeared and appears in his own hands.
Li Su was shocked.
Then he couldn't help but look at the old man and guess his identity.
The old man looked at Li Su and smiled again.
"Open it and take a look. What can you see in it?"
