OBS Chapter 656 Splitting the Golden Body
Chapter 656 Splitting the Golden Body
After leaving the alley, I returned to Lingtianzhou, but the situation was completely different. When I left, Zhao Qing was the mother of all rivers, but when I returned, I was alone except for one person. After several months of sea travel, although there were magnificent sea views as company, it was always lacking the stability of being down to earth. After staying for a long time, I felt that the scenery of the world was the same, and there was nothing special. It was still more comfortable to be on land, with lush vegetation, various mountains and rivers, and all kinds of enchanting.
Zhao Qing stepped on the ground with a look of joy on his face, but suddenly he remembered that after all the trouble he had, it seemed that he had gained nothing except the loss of his cultivation. He should have been sad, but for some reason he felt it was normal and did not even feel sorry for his cultivation.
After going down the alley, it was the bustling city. The two came to the alley of the Chitian Dynasty, which was still a long way from the Lingtian Dynasty. It was a distance that ordinary people could hardly cross in their lifetime. Although Zhao Qing practiced martial arts, his realm was not deep, and his physique was weak, making it even more difficult to cross.
Zhao Qing said, "Why don't you and I travel together?" In his heart, he thought, "I won't stop him. After traveling together for a while, we should also say goodbye. I'm going to die soon anyway, so there's really not much difference between parting ways and not parting ways. On the contrary, I'm even happier after parting ways." Li Chang smiled and said, "Okay."
Zhao Qing went to the street and bought two masks, one black and one white. He handed the black mask to Li Changxiao and put on the white mask himself, "This way, no one will know who we are, and we can have fun on our own." Li Changxiao said, "Are you still worried about your identity being exposed?" Zhao Qing nodded, "Although I have left the Tao and my face is not the same as before, there are still some similarities."
Li Changxiao put on the mask, and the two of them walked in the busy city. People passed by them, and many people looked back, but seeing that the two of them were wearing masks and their faces could not be seen, they continued on their way.
Zhao Qing was happy, and first went to the market to stroll around, and then went to the restaurant. Li Changxiao had always been poor, and was a person who could not afford money, but Zhao Qing could afford it, and she had a lot of money.
After the two of them had spent all their wealth, Zhao Qing led Li Changxiao to a temple dedicated to the Mother of the River. The golden statue of the Mother of the River stood majestically, and incense was lingering. Li Changxiao found that the incense was not as prosperous as before, and asked, "Why is the incense not as prosperous as before?" He knew that Zhao Qing's incense was different from that of other incense gods. Zhao Qing had been traveling around the world and seeking blessings for all living beings for hundreds of years. Only he, an insider and bystander, could see clearly how hard he worked.
Zhao Qing said with a smile, "It's okay if it fades. I don't rely on incense to make a living." Li Chang said with a smile, "That being said, you have devoted yourself to incense since your spiritual energy was exhausted. You have invested a lot of effort long before the reform began. If the people don't believe it, it's fine. If there are other incense gods causing trouble, I should also go and talk to them."
Zhao Qing covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, "What are you arguing about? Why are you stealing my incense?" Seeing that Li Changxiao wanted to stand up for herself, she was happy in her heart, but said, "The fight for incense is cruel. Since I am not interested in this, why should I rely on the incense?" Li Changxiao thought about it and felt that it was right, so he did not pursue it anymore.
Zhao Qing asked Li Changxiao to chop off a corner of the golden body with a long sword. In this way, the two of them would have endless gold and could travel the world freely and unrestrainedly.
Li Changxiao did as he was told, but when he was chopping, he was in a dilemma: should he chop more or less? Zhao Qing said expectantly, "It's my golden body. I won't blame you if you chop it in half." She thought to herself, "When the gold is spent, we should part ways. If you chop more, I will miss you longer. I hope you can chop all of them, not just this golden body. Then we will have endless money and I will stay with you forever." But she could only say these words in her heart and dared not say them out loud.
But how could she know that Li Changxiao looked at the golden statue, which was so similar to Zhao Qing, and also indicated that Zhao Qing was a member of the same clan, so how could he bear to split it in half? He sighed, "Zhao Qing, Zhao Qing, you really gave me a difficult problem. Of course I know you want to leave, but how can I destroy your golden statue, and how can I humiliate your Taoism?" He gently cut off the little finger of the golden statue.
Zhao Qing's expression darkened, and he suddenly felt that the time of separation was not far away. Li Chang smiled and said, "If we use it sparingly, it can last a long time." Zhao Qing nodded, put her hair behind her ears, lowered her head, and did not let anyone see her tenderness.
Leaving the golden statue, Li Changxiao melted his little finger and turned it into gold and water, and then exchanged it for silver. Although the two of them had a lot of money, they were tight on money. They traveled all over the country for a year, but they were happy. Zhao Qing was getting more and more stable. She gradually made some progress in martial arts. As her physical fitness improved and her mind became brighter, the signs of internal organ failure disappeared completely. It seemed like a divine punishment, but she gradually overcame it.
Zhao Qing had a purse tied around his waist, which was full of money, but he seldom used it. He often used it to buy wine. However, after a year, most of the money was spent in bits and pieces.
People and things that are destined to flow away will disappear bit by bit no matter how tightly they are hidden, Li Changxiao is like this, and so is Zhao Qing. The sun was shining brightly that day, and because Zhao Qing's legs were limited, the two of them had been traveling for a year, but they were still in the territory of Chitian.
Although they heard that Lingtian was in chaos, the two princes were fighting fiercely, and wars were everywhere, the two of them came to the border between the two countries and wanted to take a look. They spent money to rent a small boat and went straight to Lingtianzhou by boat.
As expected, the ground was devastated, smoke was everywhere, and the people were living in fear. Zhao Qing met a refugee family and felt sorry for them, so he gave them some of his remaining silver.
The money was a little less, and Zhao Qing felt both happy and worried. He was happy because the money was enough to save a family, but he was worried because there was not much money left, and the remaining money could not be saved no matter how much he saved.
She had been the River Mother Goddess for more than 500 years and had long regarded all people as her own children. She finally made a choice.
After returning to Lingtian, Zhao Qing only had a small amount of gold in her purse. She refused to spend it and dragged Li Changxiao to visit scenic spots all day long, going to places where money was not needed.
But after all, he came into contact with people. Li Changxiao heard that the princess was the superior one among the two princes and princesses. In terms of incense, Li Tianyu was close to the river mother and had an absolute advantage, but recently the two sides reversed. The river mother inexplicably declined. Li Tianyu tried his best but could not find the true body of the river mother. On the contrary, Li Tianxia's boat boss was becoming more and more popular and was likely to replace her.
The mother of the river represents the fortune, the child, and the safety. The captain of the boat represents the fortune, the child, and the safety. The two are originally in conflict, and Li Tianxia did it on purpose.
It can be seen that after the decline of Hemu, the boat captain benefited the most. In addition, Li Tianxia had a killer move, called "not saving a city", and the reputation and prestige of Hemu were no longer as good as before.
