OBS Chapter 559 Reflection
Chapter 559 Reflection
The whole country was in mourning after Li Shanhe's death. The Lingtian Dynasty held a national mourning. All civil and military officials in the court wore white plain clothes and saw him off on the street.
Even the cultivator, upon hearing that Li Shanhe, the leader of the Lingtian Dynasty, had died of old age, could not help but feel deeply sad. As his former opponent, enemy, and friend, he could not help but feel a little sad.
Li Changxiao did not participate in the funeral. He just watched from afar on that day. He rented a small boat and sailed on the Lingtian River.
According to the tradition of the Lingtian Dynasty, when a monarch dies, his entire body must be wrapped in ice and loaded onto an imperial ship, which will travel around Lingtian Island. His descendants will also travel along with him, even though their body is behind theirs.
This was the last time to watch the mountains and rivers. After circling Lingtianzhou, he would be secretly buried in a mausoleum, with a monument erected for him so that future generations would worship him. However, this time was very special and was very simple. Although it was a grand funeral in the eyes of ordinary people, it was extremely simple for Li Shanhe, who had ruled an entire continent.
The death of Li Shanhe had put the entire dynasty in turmoil, and the biggest problem was where to bury Li Shanhe's remains. If he was buried in the tomb built by Li Tianyu, Li Tianyu would be crowned emperor, and if he was buried in the tomb built by Li Tianxia, Li Tianxia would be crowned emperor.
Li Shanhe did not give any explanation during his lifetime, so the situation was at a stalemate. The two quasi-emperors did not dare to slack off. They each tried to win over their brothers and build momentum among the people. The fight was fierce.
Li Tianyu had been busy for several days and finally had a break. Just as he sat down at his desk, he heard that his Lianmin Pawnshop had been smashed a few days ago. He was so angry that he smashed cups, stools, and pushed chairs. But after calming down, his pupils shrank slightly, "Could it be that he is back?"
He immediately called in the people who were present that day and listened to their stories one by one. They all said that the man was dressed in white, with a long sword on his waist and a handsome appearance. Li Tianyu knew on the spot that it was almost certain that Li Changxiao had returned.
On the day Li Shanhe died, the strange sword light that rose from the ground, tore through layers of dark clouds and finally returned to nothingness, as if it had never appeared before, was most likely the work of this brother.
Li Tianyu's anger had mostly subsided. He frowned and thought, and found it incredible. According to common sense, Li Changxiao should have died before Li Shanhe, but Li Shanhe had died of old age. From what the others said, Li Changxiao seemed to be still young. At least his appearance had not changed much.
Li Tianyu couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. The more he practiced, the more he knew that not everything in this world could be explained rationally. Maybe his brother was a more complete immortal, who had an endless lifespan even without the need for cultivation? Li Tianyu just thought it was a joke and glanced at it.
Li Tianxia looked at him eagerly. It was still unknown who would win the battle. Since the pawnshop was smashed by that person, he was too lazy to pursue the matter. He also asked his servants to inform the pawnshops of the honest people that if the white-clothed man came to smash the shop again, they would not have to resist. They should just take the beating. However, don't forget to say a word for yourself afterwards, and say: "Leave some for your brother."
When this news spread throughout the Lianmin Pawnshop, everyone in the pawnshop was terrified and broke out in cold sweats, because it turned out that the white-clothed gangster who smashed the shop was also a prince.
He groaned inwardly, and could not help cursing inwardly, "There are so many weirdos these days. Since you are a prince, why do you have to pick on little people like me?" ... But even if he cursed, the next time he saw that white-clothed man, he would greet him with a smile even if he was hit in the face with a fist.
Li Tianxia also learned about this and was sitting in the courtyard, tapping the tea table with her fingers, her eyes falling on the old tree in the courtyard. The beautiful maid held a lotus fan and waved it gently. Over the years, the courtyard remained the same, Li Tianxia remained the same, but who knows how many maids had changed around her.
"Li Changxiao..." Li Tianxia muttered to herself. She had never thought that after hundreds of years, she would still say these three words. She actually disliked the man in white, and even hated him. The reason was that when she first invited him to cooperate, he simply refused. Later, Mu Qin was closer to Li Tianyu. As the saying goes, if you love someone, you will love his dog. If you hate someone, you will hate his dog. Naturally, she had no good feelings towards Li Changxiao.
But...if you look at the root of it, her Xingmin Commercial Bank really needs to thank Li Changxiao. It was thanks to Li Changxiao's memories and wisdom in his previous life that the commercial bank was able to develop rapidly and make a lot of money. That's why Li Tianxia has a great advantage among the princes.
But hundreds of years have passed, and Li Tianxia has obviously forgotten this kindness. At this moment, she murmured, her eyes flickered. At the same time, she cast her eyes on one person.
But soon, both of them withdrew their gazes.
But no matter what this person is like, he is of no importance in this storm.
……
Ten taels of silver was not a small amount. Li Changxiao lived a carefree life, stayed in a high-end inn, wandered the streets, and had a great time. After Mu Qin left that day, there was no trace of her. It was thought that she had gone to prepare, or maybe... she didn't want to see him for the time being.
In short, just wait patiently. The world is in a hurry, but Li Changxiao is not. After playing for a few more days, he suddenly heard an interesting story in the city. The two princes, Li Tianxia and Li Tianyu, invited a master of Feng Shui exploration to choose a more suitable mausoleum for Li Shanhe based on Li Shanhe's birth date, Feng Shui compatibility, astrology, terrain, etc., so as to choose the new master of Lingtian Dynasty.
The two Feng Shui survey masters each held an opinion and refused to give in to each other. Both of them had their own reasons and were not talking nonsense. As a result, the burial of Li Shanhe was delayed again and again.
In short, the two of them used all their means just for the Lingtian throne. After Li Shanhe's death, except for the two princes Li Tianxia and Li Tianyu, the rest of the descendants chose to leave one after another, some traveled around the world, some concentrated on meditation, or went to the South China Sea. In short, for them, they could go anywhere in the whole world except the Lingtian Dynasty.
here…
It will be a battle for the new emperor.
Only through the tempering of blood and fire can one secure the throne, so Li Shanhe knew long ago that the two had no way out, and it was not important for him to enter the mausoleum. The two respected him, but they thought in their hearts that he was old, and the new throne was no longer something he could decide alone.
So and so...
What Li Changxiao saw was that the prosperous scene before him seemed so fragile, just a last gasp.
The same applies to the whole world.
