Gou marries a wife in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 405 Li Shiyi
Dai Country is no different from the feudal society that Li Guanxuan knew in the past.

Rise and fall, the people suffer.

Although the Dai Kingdom was relatively powerful among the Three Kingdoms, the emperor wanted to live forever, so he consulted the Qi Refining monks on how to cultivate immortality.

This also led to an increase in the amount of money needed, but the treasury did not have that much money to help the emperor practice Taoism. Therefore, those wearing official hats had no choice but to exploit the people at the bottom in different ways.

And those Qi Refining monks are equivalent to the "nuclear weapons" in the Three Kingdoms. They are about ninety or one hundred years old, and they are ancestor-level figures in the sect family.

If there is no leakage of spiritual energy from the ancient Tantric Sect in a few years, these ancestors of Qi refining will basically die.

When spiritual energy breaks out, these Qi refining monks will undoubtedly break through the bottleneck.

As for whether they can step into foundation building, it depends on their personal fortune and opportunity.

"Hey, that little monk is here again."

Ever since Li Guanxuan gave the young monk a fast meal, whenever there was a thick layer of snow in front of the house, the young monk would come over to clean it up and then leave silently.

It seems to be just to repay the kindness of that fast meal.

"A lot of people froze to death here in the capital of Dai Kingdom."

Covered by Li Guanxuan's spiritual thoughts, every move of everyone in the capital, including the palace, could not escape Li Guanxuan's eyes.

The road is frozen to death.

In the residences of the noble officials and nobles, music and music are still played every night, which is in sharp contrast to the cold winter outside.

Naturally, Li Guanxuan would not interfere in this kind of thing. At most, if someone came to beg for help, he would give him something to eat if he could.

In this cold winter, a fast meal is enough to save a life.

"That young monk is a conscientious person. After eating this fast meal, he did not spread the news to others, otherwise our house would be lively." Chang Hongchen said lightly.

At this moment, if anyone tries to be a good person, his or her threshold will definitely be crushed by a group of people.

The emperor's Christmas has passed, and many people are freezing to death and starving in the streets and alleys. The number of refugees in the huge capital is increasing day by day.

If these people knew that Li Guanxuan's house was full of kindness, they would definitely break the door in order to survive.

The young monk obviously knew this situation, so every time he got a fast meal, he would hide it silently, and then run to a deserted place to finish it quickly.

On this day, the young monk still ran to the door of the house and knocked gently. He raised his hand up and held a broken bowl in the other hand, with red frostbite visible on it.

Li Guanxuan opened the door, but this time he did not give the young monk a fast meal, but looked at him calmly.

Seeing this, the young monk's heart suddenly sank.

But he didn't have any complaints, he had eaten there many times.

The young monk bowed deeply, recited a Buddha's name, turned and left.

"come in."

Li Guanxuan called out to him.

The young monk was startled, and then said cautiously: "Is there a shortage of servants in the benefactor's house?"

The young monk has been living outside for many years and understands that there is no such thing as free food.

What's more, those high-ranking officials and dignitaries shun "little beggars" like him, thinking that people like him will only bring bad luck to their houses.

Therefore, the young monk did not dare to eat and drink for free, and proposed that he could work for the benefactor's house in exchange for food.

"A monk who chants sutras and chants Buddha's name is also willing to be a servant?"

Li Guanxuan led the way, and the young monk looked in a daze at his stalwart figure.

At this moment, Li Guanxuan was like a ray of bright sunshine in winter to the young monk.

This year’s winter is not necessarily cold anymore.

"As long as I have food to eat, I can do anything."

The young monk quickly followed and said anxiously.

Li Guanxuan smiled, but didn't say anything else.

The little monk didn't keep chirping and asked questions. He followed Li Guanxuan obediently and soon stepped into a courtyard.

The courtyard is full of colorful flowers.

The little monk's eyes were full of shock.

How can there be so many flowers blooming in the coldest month of winter?

Moreover, since he entered this mansion, the chill on his body has disappeared, as if it was summer.

"There is a monastery over there in the West Mountain. Why don't you go there and convert to Buddhism?"

"I've been there. The temple is full and we won't accept any more people."

"It's not overcrowded, I think there are still a lot of pilgrims passing there."

"If you think I'm too young and can't do heavy work, then you won't want me anymore."

The young monk answered honestly, without any complaints or indignation in his words, because he knew very well that living in the current environment would not be easy for anyone.

"It seems that you don't sincerely believe in Buddhism." Li Guanxuan said with a smile.

The young monk also answered honestly: "If you are not a monk, sometimes you cannot go to the streets to beg for food. You can only convert to Buddhism and do good deeds and accumulate virtue."

Only monks can legitimately pray for alms and fast.

Li Guanxuan laughed loudly and asked again: "Do you want to drink alcohol and eat meat?"

The young monk looked at Li Guanxuan in surprise. He couldn't figure out what his benefactor was thinking, but he still nodded:
"Eat whatever is available, don't choose."

Soon, the little monk saw two beautiful scenery in the pavilion, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.

Did the benefactor abduct the queen from the palace?
But he had never heard of two queens in the palace!
"Look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs," the Demon Emperor threatened.

When the little monk heard this, he was frightened and quickly knelt on the ground, his forehead pressed to the ground, his small body trembling slightly, and he was extremely scared inside.

He had to live a lot of food outside, and suffered cold looks and beatings from others. He knew very well that the person in this house was by no means an ordinary wealthy family, and at least he was a master who was proficient in martial arts.

The martial arts master's status in Dai country is extremely high, only below those "immortals".

Li Guanxuan raised his palm slightly, a gust of wind lifted the young monk up, and asked:
"What is your Buddha name?"

"I shaved my head by myself, and found clothes and shoes by myself. There is no Buddhist title or name. If my benefactor doesn't dislike the boy, he can give him a name so that he can be easily called upon."

"Are you willing to let this little boy betray Buddhism in the future?"

"Yes, my benefactor will give me a bite to eat. My life belongs to my benefactor. I can do whatever my benefactor asks me to do."

The young monk is very knowledgeable and speaks the truth.

He himself also knew that if he dared to be careless now, his eyes would really be gone.

"How old."

Li Guanxuan patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to come to the table to eat.

"Exactly eleven."

"I am Mr. Lee."

"Thank you so much for the name. From now on, I will call you Li Shiyi!"

As soon as the young monk sat down, he immediately stood up, took a step back, knelt down and kowtowed to Li Guanxuan.

Li Guanxuan smiled and said: "Kowtowing does not count as apprenticeship. I don't want to accept you as a disciple. I just give you a meal. If you are really successful in the future, you may be able to be a registered student under my sect."

"Remember Eleven!"

The young monk Li Shiyi kowtowed heavily, his eyes were slightly red, but he held back the tears. "Have a meal."

"Yes."

When Li Shiyi came to the table, his eyes were dazzled by the dazzling array of delicious food in front of him.

"Eat as much as you can, just take care of yourself and don't hold yourself back." Li Guanxuan said with a smile.

Li Shi nodded, looking at his benefactor's gentle manner while eating, and planned to imitate him.

But when he noticed that the two ladies of his benefactor had not left their chopsticks, he did not dare to grab the chopsticks in front of him and sat down obediently to wait.

Chang Hongchen and Jingmohuang didn't say anything. Both women took a few bites and then put down their chopsticks.

This also made Li Shiyi afraid to eat more.

"Eat, they are not interested in this kind of food. If you weren't here, they probably wouldn't even take a bite." Li Guanxuan said with a smile.

The Realm Demon King smiled and said: "He is a little guy who understands the rules. Work hard and strive to be better than the gods."

"Uh-huh."

Li Shiyi nodded obediently, but did not dare to say anything random.

Better than a god?
In his eyes, as long as he can survive and earn a living, that's enough.

After dinner, Chang Hongchen was practicing in the house, while Jingmo Huang was pruning flowers and plants in the garden. In her words, this was called cultivating one's sentiments, and maybe she could compete with Li Guanxuan here.

After all, when flowers are beautiful, people are even more beautiful, and it’s easy to attract people’s attention.

"You can take care of the leftovers by yourself. There are your clothes in the wing. Go back and try it yourself."

After Li Guanxuan finished eating, he gave an order and walked aside to sit down.

"Thank you Eng."

Li Shiyi didn't find out where his benefactor conjured a book.

However, Li Shiyi looked at the delicious food on the table and saw that there was a lot left, so it would be a pity to throw it away.

But if you take it out and distribute it to the refugees, it will obviously not be enough to eat, and it will easily cause trouble.

Got it!

Li Shiyi first cleared the dining table, then poured the food into a bucket, then ran to boil water and took a bath, and then returned to the side room to change into new clothes.

Li Shiyi's face was full of smile, and he looked back and forth in the bronze mirror at himself wearing new clothes, feeling very happy in his heart.

Afterwards, Li Shiyi tried his best to lift the food out of the bucket, put it on the cart, and carefully pushed it to the garbage dump.

The current garbage dump only has some ash and feces, and the edible things have long been emptied out.

Li Shiyi struggled to lift the bucket down, then poured it into the trash can, stretched out his hand to pull out some of the residue inside, and finally put the bucket back on the cart and pushed it away without looking back.

Soon, the aroma of the food spread out, and even the smell of feces here could not be concealed, attracting many refugees to come over and grab food.

Li Shiyi didn't care if they would fight over food. Anyway, he did what he should do, dealt with the leftovers, and passed the test in his heart. The outcome had nothing to do with him.

After hurriedly returning to the house, Li Shiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he looked a little sad.

If he does this kind of thing too often, the refugees will still stand guard in front of the mansion...

If the benefactor becomes angry, he might even be kicked out.

At this time, Li Guanxuan appeared out of nowhere and said to Li Shiyi:

"Take this bag of silver and go back to buy vegetables and meat by yourself... By the way, do you know how to read?"

Before Li Shiyi could react, there was a heavy bag of silver in his arms.

This was the first time that Li Shiyi had received so much money. His eyes were full of shock, but he quickly responded to Li Guanxuan and shook his head.

"Go to the study."

Li Guanxuan also spoke very briefly.

Li Shiyi is full of expectations. This is also the first time he can read a book.

Shen Zheng time.

Li Shiyi put down the book reluctantly, stood up and said, "My dear friend, I'm going to the vegetable market."

Li Guanxuan nodded and didn't tell him what to buy.

Li Shiyi did not take all the money out. He made a mental calculation and calculated the money according to the standard of the lunch meal before going out.

Fortunately, the house is not far from the vegetable market. After buying the vegetables, Li Shiyi hurried back to cook.

For dinner, the benefactor's two wives didn't come over either. Li Shiyi didn't dare to think too much. After all, he was the only servant in such a big mansion.

After the meal, Li Shiyi poured a lot of uneaten food into the bucket, pushed the cart and went out.

This time, he changed his place to take out the "garbage".

"Something interesting."

When the Demon King realized that Li Shiyi had not gone to the garbage dump at noon, a smile appeared on his face.

This Li Shiyi is still a little cautious, similar to Li Guanxuan.

……

In the days that followed, Li Shiyi spent his spare time reading and literacy in the study. When it was time for dinner, he would run to buy vegetables and cook them, then pour them into a bucket and push them out on the cart.

However, as he did this more often, many refugees began to focus on him and even followed him, wanting to find out which house he lived in.

That day, Li Shiyi made a lot of mistakes, even asking for a rice pail and a cart, before he got rid of the refugees and returned to his house.

Of course, in order to avoid trouble, Li Guanxuan would secretly erase the traces.

From then on, Li Shiyi no longer took out the "garbage" every day, but only went out every few days. Which garbage dump he went to depended on his mood.

one year later.

Li Shiyi was surprised to find that he already had a photographic memory, he could basically recognize all the words, and his physical fitness was countless times better than before.

On this day, Li Shiyi ran to the house next door to practice martial arts with the daughter of the house.

Half a year ago, when Li Shiyi was pushing the cart out, he met the master and the lady from the house next door. In addition, there were a lot of interesting things coming out of the garbage dump recently. The master saw that Li Shiyi's body was relatively fragile, so he suggested that he was free. You can come over to my house and practice martial arts.

Although it is said to be the mansion next door, it is actually a few streets away. Moreover, this mansion is not an ordinary mansion, but a marquis mansion.

"Li Shiyi, you have only been practicing martial arts for half a year, and you spend relatively little time on martial arts every day. How come your physical fitness is better than mine?"

The daughter of the Hou Mansion looked at Li Shiyi's strong body, and even the martial arts master who taught them was surprised.

Li Shiyi was stunned: "I don't know either."

"Is it because you don't know or you don't want to tell me? My grandfather said that your husband is very powerful." Miss Qianjin raised her eyebrows.

Li Shiyi pondered for a moment, and then said: "Sir, he mentioned three major items to improve physical fitness."

"There are three other major items to improve physical fitness? What are they?"

It was also the first time for the martial artist to hear about this, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Really?"

"Say it!"

"Less salt, less sugar, young women..."
