OBS Chapter 795 Lost Silver (Single)
Chapter 795 Lost Silver (Single)
The atmosphere in the restaurant was hot. This image was taken more than a hundred years ago. It was extremely rare and one of the few recorded evidences of the manifestation of immortality. It has been kept in the Dayu Palace.
Historical records in Dayu state that the white-robed immortal in the image had a very subtle relationship with the ruling empress at that time. In the "Ruyi Lu", a history book that specifically records the deeds of the Dayu empress Ruyi, the year, month, and day were clearly written, recording the battle of doctors. The empress went to find the white-robed immortal to treat her, and the treatment lasted all night.
The scene was either erotic or charming, and everyone could guess what they wanted. Wang Ruyi was open-minded throughout her life and didn't mind what people said about her. This was somewhat influenced by Li Changxiao.
The scholar really stopped talking after seeing the scene. Then he realized that he was drunk alone and was very happy about it. Everyone criticized him for a few times, but they did not pursue the matter any further. The storyteller drank a few sips of hot tea and water, and then started to tell the story again.
It tells about the raging flood, when Dayu was on the verge of death, and a man came with a tower. It also tells about the first time the Zhenhai giant ship went to the sea, and it captured the soul. It also tells about the peace talks with the mermaids, and something unexpected happened on the way back.
There are many other stories that are circulated among the people, which are not supported by historical data but are very popular and half-true and half-false.
The storyteller said, "What a pity! I thought that the empress would eventually lose something she couldn't get." Speaking of Wang Ruyi's love story, before she died, Wang Ruyi frankly admitted that she did like someone.
He is a drunkard, a swordsman, and only secondarily an immortal.
The storyteller said a lot. When he was excited, everyone in the room followed him, their blood boiling, eager to charge into battle. Although now the world is peaceful, there is no front to charge into, no battle to be trapped. When he talked about the woman's sorrow and melancholy, everyone also felt lost. It was as if they were there, and could feel the deep sorrow.
Some even cried, looking so pitiful. Li Changxiao sat in a corner, mixed in with the crowd, not knowing what he felt.
……
Li Changxiao went to restaurants and pubs for several days, doing nothing but listening to all kinds of stories. He knew that it had been seven hundred years since the beginning of the change. Wang Ruyi was just a mortal, and his life would end one day. He ascended to heaven six hundred years after the change, and had no offspring. But he accepted a disciple on behalf of Li Changxiao, taught him swordsmanship, and taught him how to govern the country.
Wang Ruyi is indeed a genius. Without an orthodox succession law, the dynasty of this country will never last long. She has no children, but she can stabilize the situation. First, she is forever young, and her beauty is hard to hide until the day before her death. The ministers and maids in the court cannot bully her because she is old. Second, she is powerful and her reputation is unmatched.
She was like a magic needle that held Dayu firmly in place. Even today, her influence was still there. But she would eventually pass away, and this was the invariable truth of all things. It was impossible for her not to take precautions in advance. She could not just watch Dayu flourish for a while when she was in power.
But asking her to give birth to a child was a difficult task. So she came up with another clever plan, changing the bloodline inheritance to the master's lineage inheritance. As for who the master was, she was not shy about it and brought up Li Changxiao. Anyone who joined his master's school had to worship her as his master's wife.
Once a teacher, always a father. In this way, he can be regarded as the descendant of Wang Ruyi.
Wang Ruyi still felt that it was not right. Without her bloodline, the country would not be stable and there would be disasters in the future. So she chose a child who was slightly related to her as her first disciple. She trained him with all her heart from a young age. She instilled her philosophy and told him that if he was lucky, he might have a chance to meet his master who had never appeared in person.
This master's inheritance has been passed down from generation to generation. In the next hundred years, it may still be stable and orderly. But if it takes longer, hidden dangers will reappear. But Wang Ruyi thought, if someone is still alive, he will definitely help.
If someone dies too.
There is no other way. The old and the new replace each other, this is the law of all things. Nothing is permanent, and Dayu is no exception. It will eventually decline.
Li Changxiao ended this episode with mixed feelings in his heart, and thought that he would never accept a disciple in his lifetime. But now in this situation, it is inevitable that he will have disciples.
How could he be willing to let Wang Ruyi down even on this point?
……
Li Changxiao was going to Dayu City to see his disciple. He took a carriage and headed north, passing by several big cities.
Along the way, I heard people talking about how the currency from more than a hundred years ago was very popular in the antique market and could be sold for a lot of money. Li Changxiao happened to have almost run out of money. He felt around and remembered that there were still more than ten copper coins in his pocket before he fell asleep.
But after waking up, he found that the copper coin was moldy and had green rust on it, so he never exchanged it for wine. Now he realized it and just kept it in his pocket.
The dozen copper coins were saved by him when he was treating patients. He found out that they were worth a lot of money. He was tempted to buy them. When he passed by a big city, he found an antique market, set up a small stall on the ground, and sold the dozen copper coins at a high price.
But he didn't buy all of them. He kept two of them and put them in his dream space to keep them forever.
Li Changxiao's dream space is now very large. The many old things that Li Changxiao has stored only account for less than one tenth of it. But he still cherishes them very much. He is only willing to put them into the space for preservation when he encounters something very precious.
This trip brought him much more than Li Changxiao had expected. Someone was willing to spend a thousand taels of silver to buy that old, worn-out copper coin. Li Changxiao thought, this copper coin is only a hundred years old, but it is already so valuable. Then wouldn't this old antique, this old monster, be even more valuable?
But think about it, no matter how valuable it is, Li Changxiao will never buy it with his own money. He has a lot of money, so he will naturally spend it on wine and women.
Although he was heading north to Dayu City, he didn't want to go too fast. Wang Ruyi's Dayu was not the only capital that was worth paying attention to.
If I walked too fast, wouldn't I be betraying the beauty's heart? It is said that women dress up to please themselves, and for a king, the beautiful mountains and rivers are her second face.
So he took the money, traveled around the mountains, enjoyed the beautiful scenery, drank fine wine, and hosted banquets for people everywhere. He had a great time and "did whatever he wanted" in Wang Ruyi's territory.
But when he was dissolute, he would become more and more unruly. One day, he invited guests from all over the world and had a great time drinking. Finally, he fell drunk on the table and took advantage of the alcohol to sleep soundly.
At noon that day, Li Changxiao woke up and walked on the street. He suddenly felt empty. He jumped, and the feeling of emptiness became even stronger. He opened the pocket embroidered on the right side and looked inside.
Empty.
All his money was lost.
I haven't lost money in a long time.
