When Li Qing He heard that the middle-aged man wanted him to take Xiao Miao away, his expression became serious as he asked, "Uncle, what's wrong? Did someone bully you? "
Although the Xu people were very respectful towards the Tianxia people, as a tribe that maintained ancient traditions, they naturally wouldn't be peaceful.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "That's not it. We are Xu people. With someone like you in our tribe, how could we be bullied? It's just that this child, Xiao Miao, has been seeing some strange things these days, so I've been letting her bring a cat with her when she goes out. This way, she can be at ease and not see those things. "
Li Qing He's heart was moved. He had seen a lot from Zhang Yu and knew what this meant. He asked, "Could it be that Xiao Miao has awakened the bloodline of her ancestors?"
The Xu people were an aboriginal tribe that lived in the Wasteland in the early years. For them to be able to reproduce without stopping, they naturally had their own god descendants and priests. Moreover, the Xu people tribe had always been small, so awakening their bloodline wasn't uncommon.
The middle-aged man said in a muffled voice, "What's the use of awakening it? What can she do? Become an elder in the future? But if she becomes an elder, she will be buried in the village for the rest of her life. As her father, I can't bear to see her like this. "
Li Qing He nodded. Before meeting the Tianxia people, the Xu people could only struggle to survive in the Wasteland. The only way forward was to become an elder of the tribe. In the future, they wouldn't need to work and would be worshipped by the tribe.
But things were different now. In the last few years, the Dongting Protectorate had been working hard to improve the livelihood of the people, and it had naturally taken great care of the Xu people. Not only had it given them large tracts of land, it had also taught them advanced farming and animal husbandry techniques. Even ordinary tribesmen could rely on farming and hunting to satisfy their basic needs.
Moreover, with the restrictions of the Tianxia laws, the elders couldn't do anything too excessive to ordinary tribesmen. Therefore, some of the rules in the past were becoming more and more unsuitable. Of course, following the Tianxia people didn't change.
On one hand, it was a deep-rooted tradition of the Xu people. On the other hand, they knew that if they became Tianxia people, then the Tianxia people might not trust them as much as before.
The middle-aged man said, "In recent years, many young people in the village are unwilling to follow the old rules. They have secretly gone to the city or Tianxia to make a living. They are doing well, and they send things back from time to time."
He looked at Li Qing He expectantly, "Ah He, if you have a way, take Xiao Miao out of here. She will do anything as long as she has a mouthful of food."
Li Qing He hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't say that. I was raised by you. We are a family. Xiao Miao is also my sister. Before I leave, I will find a way to take her away."
The middle-aged man said happily, "Alright, I'm glad to hear that. I'll ask Xiao Miao to prepare some good dishes. Let's have a drink together at noon. "
Li Qing He said, "Uncle, there's no rush. I brought a lot of things back this time." As he said that, he took out some things from the astral bag that Zhang Yu gave him and said, "These are bought from the mainland. They are not valuable things. I have plenty of them. Uncle, keep them."
The middle-aged man looked at the things he took out with interest. At this time, he saw a box. He opened it and saw a gem inside. He picked it up and asked, "Ah He, what is this?"
Li Qing He said, "This is a divine robe. I was going to give it to Xiao Miao, but it seems that she can't use it now. But … I will ask Mister later. "
The middle-aged man obviously knew what a divine robe was. In the past, the Tianxia Army of God was the main force against EsGod. He said in surprise, "You can afford a divine robe?"
Li Qing He said humbly, "It's all because of Mister's kindness."
The middle-aged man sighed, "You followed a good master."
Li Qing He nodded and said, "Yes, Mister is very good. I'm very lucky to have followed Mister."
"That's good." The middle-aged man sighed. He thought for a while and said, "Ah He, it's rare for you to come back. Why don't you stay for a few days before leaving?"
Li Qing He said, "I was going to stay for a while before going back."
The middle-aged man said happily, "If that's the case, that's the best. I'll take you around the village in the next few days. "He was in high spirits." I'll let the elders see. Ah He, you are not the same as before. "
Li Qing He could not help but smile. It seemed that the village had changed a lot. His uncle, who was illiterate in the past, could now use Tianxia's elegant words. He nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle."
On top of Mount An, the lonely and lofty Goddess Peak stood there. Since ancient times, this peak had been a place of worship for the natives. However, after it was used as the beacon tower of the Eastern Court, it was given another layer of meaning.
Especially after the beacon was lit, people often came here to watch. The natives who saw the light of the beacon also came to the foot of the mountain to worship.
In view of this, the East Court Protectorate and the Xuanfu designated this place as an important place. Without the permission of the Xuanfu, no one was allowed to approach this place. No creator, cultivator, or Taoist was allowed to go to the top of the mountain or fly over it. Therefore, in the past few years, this place became quiet again.
At this time, a grand clear light fell from the sky, illuminating the entire peak in an instant. As the light dispersed, Zhang Yu walked out from it.
At this moment, he looked back at the vast land below. Back then, he rode the light of his heart and flew in the sky for the first time. He felt like it was yesterday.
At this time, the statue of the goddess standing on the peak of the mountain flashed, and Goddess Ya Qiu walked out. She bowed respectfully with Tianxia's etiquette and said, "Ya Qiu greets Head Zhang."
Although she was a goddess, she was the wife of the second Governor, Yang Gong. In terms of blood, she was Yang Jue's grandmother. Therefore, she had been secretly watching over her descendants all these years. However, with the restoration of the connection between the Protectorate and the mainland, her strength was no longer a deterrent. However, she was still very clear about some of the changes in the Protectorate.
Zhang Yu nodded in return and said, "Madam Ya Qiu, I came here today to ask about something. I believe you also know about the expansion of the Protectorate. The next prefecture might build a city near Mount An. Are there any sleeping EsGods north and south of Mount An that you know of?"
Goddess Ya Qiu pondered for a moment before saying, "Mount An has always been the burial ground of the fallen gods. No god has taken it as their own. Other than the people of Mount An who worshipped God An, there are very few indigenous tribes that have settled at the foot of Mount An. At least in the last era, there were no sleeping gods here. However, if it is something more ancient, then I don't know."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. He was optimistic about the third scroll and was also preparing to build a new prefecture on the side of Mount An. However, before that, he was going to comb through the inside and outside of Mount An. Even if there was something, he would deal with it in advance to minimize future troubles.
At this time, Goddess Ya Qiu asked with some apprehension, "May I ask Xuanshou Zhang, if a city is built here in Mount An, then what should I do?"
Zhang Yu said, "In the battle back then, because of Madam Ya Qiu's protection in advance, the beacon fire was lit later. Madam Ya Qiu has made great contributions to the Protectorate. I can grant the authority of Xuanshou Zhang Yu, and this mountain can still be used as Madam Ya Qiu's residence."
Hearing his promise, Goddess Ya Qiu was relieved. After gratefully bowing, her figure gradually faded and soon disappeared.
Zhang Yu looked at the winding mountain and looked up at the sky. After a while, he heard the sound of thunder. The clouds in the sky gathered and shrouded the entire mountain range. Then, a torrential rain with clear light fell from the sky and began to wash away the ancient filth.
Outside Auspicious Light City, Dan Port.
An inconspicuous flying boat was slowly approaching the berth under the guidance of a light beam.
In the main cabin of the flying boat sat a hale and hearty old man in a round-necked black robe. He looked to be in his early fifties, but in fact, he was more than eighty years old.
However, in the Yujing Imperial Court, there were still many people who were more than a hundred years old.
Tianxia had a long lifespan. Ordinary people could live to more than 120 years old. For people like him who usually adjusted their body and swallowed pills, it was not unusual for him to maintain his current state until he was 150 years old.
At this moment, he looked at the scenery of the sea and land below, stroking his beard and nodding, "The sea and land are boundless, and the heaven and earth are magnificent. This is a promising place."
An official next to him said, "Although this place is good, it is fortunate to have Master Min here."
Master Min smiled and did not mind the flattery. He looked at the staff and workers in the main cabin and said, "I hope so. Everyone, please do your best."
Everyone responded with a smile. However, because Master Min was not usually serious and liked to joke when he had nothing to do, the atmosphere was very relaxed at this moment.
At this moment, the flying boat had already landed on the rooftop of the boat. A personal guard came over and cupped his fists, saying, "Master Min, we have arrived."
Master Min closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again. He said curiously, "From the port to the boat, it took only fifty breaths. This is not inferior to the Yujing Empire."
The official who spoke just now said, "Master Min, this official has investigated. The steward of the boat is from the Yujing Empire and was invited here. Master Min, should we call him over and ask him?"
Another official suddenly said, "Perhaps he knew from somewhere that Master Min was coming, so he was a bit tighter."
Master Min smiled, "There is no need to call him over. If my arrival can make him work hard, then wouldn't that be a good thing? I will be stationed here for a long time in the future, so let's wait and see. "
Everyone nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the administrator beside him asked, "Master Min, when we leave the boat later, should we display the ceremonial guards?"
Master Min waved his hand, saying, "There is no need for that. We are here to benefit the people, not to display our authority. We have just arrived, so why should we disturb the people of the protectorate manor? Let's go straight to the Viceroy Manor after we get off the boat. "
The administrator nodded in agreement.
At this moment, a white light suddenly flew over from the west. When it came close, it suddenly stopped, revealing a light silver flying boat. Looking at its shape, it was clearly a magic tool flying boat.
An official glanced at it and said in a low voice, "Master Min, it seems to be that person's carriage."
Master Min stroked his beard and nodded. He stood up, saying, "Since we have met here, this old man will go down and greet him. We will have to deal with this person in the future."
