1011. Taibai Empire
China Continent Star.
"Master?!"
"Sir, you are finally back."
Taibai City is now a large city as beautiful as a fairyland, with a population of over one million. In addition to the aboriginal people who originally lived here, there are also many monsters and spirits who migrated here because they yearned for the aura of heaven and earth in Mount Taibai. Settled in the mountains.
Humans and demons live together in great harmony.
Qingfeng and Mingyue are two little book boys who are at the age of youth and brilliance, but now they are already famous big shots. Mingyue is still a cute foodie to the end, but Qingfeng seems to be much more mature and likes to imitate Li Mu's clothes. Clothes style, white as jade, simple and plain.
Seeing Li Mu, Qingfeng showed a sincere smile on his face, while Mingyue jumped up like a little rabbit and jumped into Li Mu's arms, just like before.
"Uh... I'm a big girl. Pay attention to your image. You're so crazy. How can you ask Qingfeng to marry you in the future?" Li Mu joked directly.
Mingyue's face suddenly turned red.
"Oh, there really is a situation." Li Mu laughed.
"Third brother." Guo Yuqing smiled and opened his arms.
Li Mu went up and gave him a bear hug. Then he noticed something and said with great joy: "Brother, you must have had another adventure. Your cultivation has soared to such a level."
This is really an unexpected surprise.
Since Li Mu left the Shenzhou Continent, the contact with Guo Yuqing has gradually decreased, but the brotherhood has not weakened at all. Seeing each other now is like yesterday. Li Mu is delighted to find that Guo Yuqing's cultivation has actually reached the realm of the Emperor. , it can be said that it has improved like a rocket. There should be another chance, maybe it is related to the Immortality Heaven of Wolf Temple.
"Third brother." Swordsman Qiu Yin also came up and hugged Li Mu.
Although this descendant of Guanshan Ranch is not as terrifying as Guo Yuqing, he is still at the peak of the military realm, almost reaching the general level. On the planet of China, he can be regarded as a first-class existence.
Ma Junwu, Feng Yuanxing and others also came up and saluted Li Mu.
In the past, they were just small officials in Taibai County, Chang'an Prefecture of the Western Qin Empire, and they were not even high-ranking. But now, they have also practiced martial arts. Even though they are not top-notch experts, they can prolong their lives, and their status is respected. , carefree, compared with the county magistrates, envoys and others who were beheaded in the past, they can be said to have risen to the top. Looking back on the past, they also sighed time and time again that following Li Mu was simply the most correct choice in their lives, fearing that Even the so-called ministers of the dragon in the history books were unable to compare with the wealth and opportunities they received.
Li Mu was also quite moved and patted their shoulders one by one.
The news of Li Mu's arrival had spread a long time ago, so the entire Taibai County was in a state of excitement, especially the aborigines. Their gratitude to Li Mu was like a river. More than ten years ago, when Li Mu lined up at the gate of the county, waiting to enter the city, At that time, no one could have imagined that Taibai County, which was originally barren and remote, would turn into a fairyland on earth in less than twenty years.
In fact, what Li Mu changed was not just the fate of Ma Junwu and others. The entire Taibai City, the entire Western Qin, and the entire history of the Shenzhou Continent were all changed by Li Mu, a foreign guest.
Aboriginal people now have a very high status in the city. The original old city, now the core area of Taibai City, is the territory of these Aboriginal people. Some Aboriginal people rent out their old houses for just the monthly rent. Buying a house and land in the new city means you don't have to worry about food and clothing for a lifetime. The original peasant children are now admitted to martial arts schools in the city for free and can practice martial arts. The official will guarantee the status and interests of the indigenous people as soon as possible.
"Master Li Qingtian."
"Master County."
"The county magistrate."
The various names made Li Mu seem to be transported back to the days when he first arrived at the Taibai Lake level. He looked carefully and saw that some of the aboriginal people kneeling around him could still recognize them, and their faces were quite similar. For familiarity, the aura of heaven and earth gathers in Taibaicheng, and the mountains, rivers and trees all contain aura. Even ordinary people who do not practice medicine will prolong their lives by drinking mountain spring water, eating whole grains, and breathing the air of this place. After more than ten years, their appearance will be basically the same. Nothing has changed.
"Everyone, please get up."
Li Mu said.
Seeing old friends again is also a reappearance of feelings.
Li Mu has seen too many storms, and has long since passed the stage of returning home in fine clothes and showing off in front of his old friends. He has no airs at all and is more easy-going than before.
Finally, along the street, surrounded by people, we arrived outside the former county government office and now the Daolu.
A few years ago, Li Mu killed the descendants of the six major races and many kings, returned to the mainland of China, deposed the Qin Emperor who had lost his true heart, and directly replaced the Qin Empire that was about to unify the continent of China, leaving only the fiefdoms of the Qin State. After leaving the imperial capital city, the royal family of the former Qin State were all well-raised in Qin City and retained their bloodline.
The other two of the three great empires - the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Chu Dynasty - were already torn to pieces by the Western Qin Dynasty, and their final fate was mostly the same.
The entire Chinese mainland was unified under the power of Taibai City.
Today's Taibai City is already the administrative, military and economic center of the entire Shenzhou Continent.
It is no exaggeration to say that Taibai City is the holy land of the entire Shenzhou Continent.
Daolu is the core of Taibai City, a holy place among holy places.
Daolu is the original site of Taibaicheng County Government in the past. It has an excellent geographical location. It is at the highest point of the entire Taibai City. After Li Mu moved the county government, he built Daolu here to gather spiritual energy and practice sword skills here. It is also his swordsmanship. The place where the law is accomplished.
Later, Li Mu returned from the galaxy and rebuilt the formation system of Taibai City. Daolu was also renovated. It is now the address of Li Mu's mother, who is nominally the highest-status person in the entire Shenzhou Continent.
Of course, it is the Li Mu of this world.
It's just that this person has disappeared for too long. Li Mu has searched and deduced several times, but he can't find any clues. His mother has always been supported here.
Li's mother was once blind, but now her power has been restored.
The people accompanying her were Hua Xiangrong, Shangguan Wan'er and other women that Li Mu had bought from the Jiaofang Division in Chang'an City in the past - several of them were already married, but they would still come to Daolu from time to time. Visit and serve Mother Li.
When Li Mu arrived at the door of Daolu, Li's mother, Hua Xiangrong and others were already waiting at the door.
"Mother," Li Mu saluted.
Mother Li's face was full of smile.
It has been such a long time, but there is no need to get to the bottom of some things. She is also a smart woman.
"Husband." Hua Xiangrong said with a happy smile on her face.
Li Mu supported Li's mother and winked at Hua Xiangrong.
Hua Xiangrong's pretty face turned red.
After a group of people entered the Daolu, the people gathered outside gradually dispersed.
For the people of Taibai City, every time Li Mu returns, it is a grand event, more exciting than the Chinese New Year and festivals, and everyone is immersed in joy.
In Daolu, after greeting and caring with Mother Li, Li Mu exited Mother Li's room.
Soon, the hostess screamed in Hua Xiangrong's room, and soon there were some rather seductive and strange sounds. Shangguan Wan'er, who originally wanted to ask if she needed to prepare dinner, blushed when she heard the movement at the door. He was embarrassed, so he turned around and walked away as if running away.
One night passed quickly in the gentle and charming way.
Early the next morning, the bright moon came brightly.
"Sister Caicai has sent news that there are some changes on the Ghost Star Bone Holy Mountain, which has caused changes in all the ghost cultivators. They can no longer control it. Young Master, do you want to go and have a look." Mingyue sent a copy of the message. Give the jade secret to Li Mu.
When Li Mu heard this, he probably knew what was going on.
It must be related to the inheritance of the Immortal Emperor.
After reading Jade Jue, Li Mu felt clear in his heart.
We must rush to the ghost star immediately.
The strange changes in the Yinshan stones under the Bone Sacred Mountain are definitely related to the inheritance of the Immortal Emperor. Combined with the clues on the dark golden pieces of paper, it is basically certain that the legendary Immortal Emperor is probably in Yinshan. Under the strange stone.
At that time, the Immortal Emperor sacrificed and refined the [Apotheosis of the Gods], a divine object that could preserve the soul of the king, and created a race of gods, and the ghost star could also allow the souls of the dead to survive. There was no connection between them, and Li Mu didn't believe it.
It would be the best situation to directly obtain the inheritance of the Immortal Emperor before the major racial forces in the chaotic world arrive. However, Li Mu also knows that this is difficult. I am afraid that by this time, these people have already arrived. In the Ziwei Star Territory.
"Where is the Qingfeng man?" Li Mu asked casually.
Mingyue picked up a cucumber in the vegetable pot in the yard, chewed it, and said: "Brother Qingfeng has had some problems with his cultivation these days, and his breath is a bit disordered, so every morning, he must practice innate skills to consolidate his state. , I guess he’s practicing right now.”
"Is there something wrong with cultivation?" Li Mu was startled.
The Qi refining method Qingfeng practices is the [Innate Skill] taught by him. This skill is rumored to come from Ye Qingyu, the Emperor of Heaven. It is the most upright and mellow, and will never cause symptoms such as going crazy. How could it go wrong? .
"Let's go and have a look."
Li Mu said.
He happened to have something to say about Qingfeng Mingyue.
"Okay." Mingyue pulled another cucumber for herself and jumped behind Li Mu.
After a while.
Qingfeng Biezhai.
After Li Mu checked Qingfeng's condition, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
"The internal energy is circulating, the meridians are saturated, and there are no abnormalities."
But Qingfeng's complexion was really not good, a bit sickly, just like an ordinary person with a fever, his face was red, and there was a hoarse sound in his throat when he breathed.
"Maybe I've been too tired recently."
Qingfeng himself didn't care much and explained.
Although he is young, he plays an important role in the current Taibai Empire of the Chinese mainland. Many military and national affairs and local government orders have to go through the hands of Qingfeng. Everything is detailed, complicated, and consuming. .
"Is it normal every morning after it happens in the morning?" Li Mu asked.
Qingfeng nodded.
Li Mu frowned, feeling that things might not be that simple.
