Me and countless me.

Chapter 199 God’s Will
Li Ke almost vomited blood on the spot.

Although he invented the vernier caliper and plagiarized the Four Sentences of Hengqu, and created a large number of poems, songs and literary classics for later generations, he also changed the clothes of the maid in his house to the same style as Tokisaki Kurumi, plus twin ponytails, and returned the indenture contract to them and changed it to employment.

But this is for the purpose of being a better prince!

It doesn’t mean that he wants to become Wang Mang!
This is just a joke!
But the most confusing thing was another thing, that is, his father said that he had found a good wife for him, who was born with special visions, had golden and red magic eyes, and the ability to manipulate time.

In layman's terms, it means the ability to manipulate time.

At present, the two families have signed a marriage certificate, and they will be able to get married ten years later. Li Ke’s favorite things were also sent over, including the red and black Gothic Lolita outfit made by Li Ke.

So Li Ke was dumbfounded at the moment. It was not until the Monkey King pulled his sleeve and asked him when they would set out that Li Ke reacted.

The first thing he reacted to was Run.

What a joke! He had been a Han Dynasty citizen for so long, of course he knew how ruined the Han Dynasty was now. He felt terrified when he saw the extent of land annexation. That was why he asked his father to exempt the farmers in his family from many taxes in the name of praying for his family, otherwise those farmers in his family would not be able to survive.

Even so, his father is still a kind man.

It would be fine if his father was a devout Confucianist, but now the Han Dynasty court also believed in Confucianism and the stories of ancient sages. The current emperor even asked, "Is there still hope for the Han Dynasty? If not, would it be better to become the emperor?" Such words came out!
The entire social atmosphere also hoped that Confucianism could save the world from serious land annexation, so various "talented people" who followed Confucianism began to appear in the court. Things like the Analects of Confucius had become the only choice for officials.

But Confucianism could not save the current Han Dynasty, because the most fundamental reason was land annexation, not other reasons. These families that gave birth to Confucian talents were the largest landlords themselves, so how could Confucianism possibly solve this problem?

So Li Ke's previous plan had always been to wait until he came of age, go to his family's mine to get some steel, then make flintlock rifles and gunpowder, and then become an emperor himself or something.

It's just that I've heard about the abilities of all kinds of strange people and things before, and I know that this world is not a simple one, so I've lost interest in it and want to seek help from immortals.

But Li Ke found it very interesting that although there were strange people and things among the people, his father did not have any extraordinary abilities. When he encountered the evil ghosts in the legend, his father and the guards would just shout and the ghost would be gone.

So he reacted, changed the monkey's clothes, took some gold and silver jewelry, left a letter, and then he and the monkey helped each other to climb over the wall. After three or four months of wandering, they found Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and Xieyue Sanxing Cave.

The main reason why it took so long was that Li Ke didn't know where the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave was, so he just let the monkey lead him.

Li Ke also discovered an advantage of the monkey.

This guy can really endure loneliness and the gap in treatment.

He is fine with fine clothes and delicious food, or with simple meals, grass roots and tree bark. He is naturally not fond of eating meat, which is completely different from him.

After much difficulty, they found a woodcutter who recited poems and went to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and Xieyue Sanxing Cave. When Li Ke entered the cave, he was still worried whether he would be accepted. However, after seeing Patriarch Bodhi, this worry disappeared.

"Eh... you were born with a destiny, possessed of magical powers, and were born into an extraordinary family. But even if you learn the superior methods from me and worship me as your master, if you leave the mountain, you will not be able to use your magical powers until your destiny is over. Even if you have mastered the three flowers on your head and the five qi in your chest, your magical powers will be useless when you are attacked by swords and weapons.

It's useless. If you die, you still have to go to the Wangxiang Terrace and continue to sink into the sea of ​​suffering to pay for your sins. I ask you, in this case, are you still willing to learn all kinds of magical powers from me?"

What Patriarch Bodhi meant was very simple. Even if one became an immortal in his place, before his destiny was fulfilled, he was still a mortal. Even if he became a Golden Immortal, he would still have to go through the process of reincarnation if he was killed by a mortal.

But Li Ke had made up his mind when he went out that unless his parents were about to die, he would never go. As for why.

If he has the destiny, then it means Liu Xiu also has the destiny, so what the hell!

So Li Ke agreed without any hesitation, and then Patriarch Bodhi nodded and sighed.

"Well, you can go with that monkey, but you must not call me your master. From now on, we can just call each other fellow Taoists. As for the Taoist name, you can choose it yourself. When the destiny comes, you can go down the mountain to accept it."

Li Ke was confused. He probably knew why Patriarch Bodhi said that. It was simply because he was Wang Mang. However, he did not expect that Patriarch Bodhi would not even give him the title of master and disciple.

So he asked somewhat unwillingly.

"Grandmaster, I have no intention of accepting the destiny..."

"Destiny is destiny. If you don't want to accept it, then don't accept it. How can it be called destiny? No need to say more. Also, call me Taoist friend."

Li Ke: “………………”

So, when they came, Wang Mang and Li Ke were sweeping the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain with the monkey, just like a macaque (monkey), and half a year had passed.

"No, he was able to accept a disciple even after the monkey caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace. You are just plotting to usurp the throne, and you were even abdicated. Why don't you dare to do it?"

Someone named Li Ke complained about it. He had read a lot of history, so he knew very well that Wang Mang was not a simple time traveler.

Wang Mang was just a great Confucianist. He was just a tragic product of the Han Dynasty's attempt to use Confucianism to save the country, and the facts proved it.

Confucianism cannot solve the problem of land annexation and cannot save the country.

"And what about destiny..."

Inuyasha Li Ke smiled and clenched his fist. If there were no dinosaurs around him, he would definitely slap the dinosaur.

“Is being at the top of the food chain a destiny given to you?!”

Li Ke from France expressed his own opinion.

"I think the destiny he mentioned is probably due to his father's identity, the political expectations placed on him, and the various troubles that come with that identity. So even if he doesn't want to, once his father gets involved, he will definitely get involved. Am I right?"

French Li Ke looked at Wang Mang Li Ke and asked.

Wang Mang Li Ke sighed helplessly, because what Li Ke from France said was right.

Although he chose to cultivate immortality, if his family was at risk of death, he would still enter the field. After all, the life of the past ten years was not fake.

Once he enters the mortal world, all his magical powers will disappear...

"Then I have a question."

Dark Li Ke raised his hand.

"Does the Super Saiyan transformation count as a magical power? Even if his world is like mine and is not compatible with the Super Saiyan transformation, do the abilities and talents we share count as magical powers?"

After Dark Li Ke returned to his own world, he tried to transform into a Super Saiyan, but it didn't work. Instead, his ability to see through real names did work.

Warhammer Li Ke on the side also nodded. His situation was similar to Dark Li Ke, but he did not dare to try his ability to see through real names.

Because he is afraid of death.

He is currently the most self-disciplined of all the Li Kes. Before a battle, he would ask himself whether the battle was necessary. When thinking, he would not let himself be proud of his wisdom. He would directly refuse the desires caused by hormones. He was particular about hygiene and would take a shower even if he did not go out. He rejected any blessing from the gods and regarded it as an illusion.

Live like an ascetic.

"Yeah, that's right... How about you give it a try? I have something else to do over there, so I'll go back first."

Li Ke from the Hong Kong variety show on the side spoke up, and he didn’t feel like his limelight was being stolen at all.

Because he really has some things going on over there.

And all the Li Kes gave the middle finger to Hong Kong Variety Show Li Ke, because what he said was that a female reporter named Le Huizhen invited him to dinner.

So after chatting for a few more words, the Li Ke group dispersed.

Everyone has something to do. Pirate Li Ke is busy being the Great Western King, Naruto Li Ke is currently building an underwater tunnel, Dragon Ball Li Ke is working hard to do good deeds and practice, Warhammer Li Ke found a job as a blacksmith in a blacksmith shop and is busy with orders. Doomsday Li Ke recently contacted a group of people and is investigating. Primordial Li Ke is busy farming, and even the most idle Dark Li Ke has his own cowshed to clean.

That’s right, Dark Li Ke is still working for others!

Wang Mang Li Ke nodded, and then his figure instantly disappeared into the black fog space.

When he returned to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and the Three Stars Cave of the Slanting Moon, Li Ke looked expectantly in the direction of Patriarch Bodhi, but there was nothing.

"I thought……"

Li Ke, who thought that the master could discover his abnormality, sighed helplessly and began to try various abilities.

It’s useless to see through the real name.

Real name change, no use.

Bloodline digging seems to be useful, but also seems to be useless.

Digging into the memory of the object, Li Ke grasped the broom in his hand and activated his ability, but he didn't feel anything. It seemed like there was some effect, but the effect was not obvious.

Consuming energy to strengthen the body had little effect, and he didn't dare to try it casually. In the end, Li Ke relied on the feeling in his memory and began to try the Saiyan transformation, but it was still useless.

Li Ke was silent. Apart from some passive abilities that he couldn't verify now, and the success of the Hard Drive Spirit's talent, all other talents were useless, or the effects were so weak that he thought they were illusions.

"No, at least the Saiyan talent must be usable!"

Taking a deep breath, Wang Mang Li Ke stood firmly in his horse stance unwillingly, then clasped his hands at his side, used all his strength to try to stimulate the potential in his body, and then roared!
"Ahhhhh!!!"

Following the feeling of transforming into a Super Saiyan, Li Ke kept trying to become a Saiyan, and to his surprise, as he continued to roar, the hair on his forehead suddenly stood up!

Done? !
Li Ke's eyes showed surprise, and the next moment, a senior brother came out holding a medical book and muttering to himself. When passing by him, he took his pulse. Before Li Ke could react, he saw this senior brother muttering to himself, taking out a brush and paper, writing a prescription on his hand, and then stuffing it into his arms.

"Blood and qi rush to the forehead, causing the hair to stand up, and suspected constipation, abdominal bloating. Follow the prescription and boil three bowls of water into one bowl. Take one bowl a day, and this can relieve the symptoms."

After saying that, the senior brother left.

Li Ke looked at his senior brother's back as he walked away muttering to himself, speechlessly took off the prescription that was slapped on his face, speechlessly threw it aside, and pressed down his standing hair.

"What the hell... the Super Saiyan transformation has become a skill that makes my hair stand up!"

Li Ke, who wanted to complain, heard the monkey's applause before he turned his head. He turned around and found that the monkey who had just been named Sun Wukong was looking at Li Ke in amazement.

"Brother Wang Mang, I didn't expect you to have such a skill!"

The monkey jumped to Li Ke's side with an expectant look on his face and pulled Li Ke's sleeve.

"Teach me!"

Li Ke: “…………”

Li Ke now wants to kill the monkey.

"It can't be taught. This is a gift. Also, call me Li Ke, not Wang Mang. Li is like plum, Ke is like jade. This is my own name... In short, don't call me Wang Mang."

Li Ke, who couldn't use any active talents, felt a little discouraged. Looking at the lofty ancestor, he sighed helplessly.

The monkey's interest disappeared instantly and he looked bored.

"Boring, borring, let's just eat peaches."

As he spoke, the monkey took out two peaches, rubbed them on his body, gave one to Li Ke, and started eating the other.

Li Ke also felt bored.

Because of his talent as a hard drive expert, all the Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist scriptures he had read before were in his brain. Even because of Li Ke's contribution, the scriptures in his brain were more than those in Bodhi Patriarch's Sutra Library. In other words, they were some of Bodhi Patriarch's own books, and Li Ke didn't have the rest.

As for the monkeys…

This guy has a photographic memory.

After finishing the morning lessons and sweeping the floor, the two of them had nothing to do. Before, they could read books, but now they have nothing to do. Apart from practicing swordplay, they just chat with their fellow apprentices.

The monkey looked at the white clouds in the sky and couldn't help muttering.

“I don’t know when the Dharma will be taught.”

He was the one most eager to pass on the Dharma. Although he didn't say it in front of other fellow disciples, Li Ke could tell that Monkey was really afraid of death.

Yes, he was afraid of death.

"do not know."

Li Ke knew that when the monkey's temper had been tempered enough, Patriarch Bodhi would naturally teach him.

However, once the monkey caused havoc in Heaven, it would probably be another five hundred years before they could meet again.

but……

Li Ke looked at the clouds in the sky, and suddenly thought of the meteorite and fog that ended Wang Mang's dynasty, and realized something.

"Isn't that a fire brick kicked down by the monkey? The water mist and the like are the magic cast by the gods to avoid a thousand miles of scorched earth."

Realizing this, Li Ke looked at the monkey speechlessly.

So this is the root cause of my downfall? !
Li Ke couldn't help but rub the monkey's head angrily, but the monkey thought he was playing with him, so the two of them started to fight, and soon they lay down on the grass.

"I say, Monkey, what kind of life do you want to live?"

Li Ke looked at the sky and asked his thoughts.

Ever since Patriarch Bodhi said that he could not escape his destiny, he has always been very concerned about this matter. His destiny is to fail, to lose to Liu Xiu, the son of destiny.

Even he himself felt that he would lose to Liu Xiu.

Who can stop destiny?

After obtaining the power of other Li Ke, he also wanted to rely on the power and support of other Li Ke to escape fate.

I never thought about responding directly to destiny.

So for a moment, Li Ke was a little confused.

The monkey was also a little confused. He was very happy during his days in Huaguo Mountain. He initially thought that this happiness would have no end. It was not until the monkey's death that he realized the existence of birth, aging, sickness and death.

So after Li Ke asked the question, he was a little confused, but he still gave an answer.

"Live happily forever?"

"Be happy forever..."

Li Ke closed his eyes, and the experiences of the pirate Li Ke kept emerging in his mind, along with Liu Xiu's various actions.

The Eastern Han Dynasty established by this great "king of the Han Dynasty" was not very good for the peasants, because the aristocratic families completely controlled the court of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Even at the founding of the country, officials were able to discuss corruption with each other, and Liu Xiu did not punish them when he found out. When he was conquering cities, he never stopped his soldiers from looting.

He is just like the perfect man of all time, Kong Yige, who has transformed into the strongest commander. The term "magic trick" comes from him. However, he is different from Kong Yige. Kong Yige's backer is the United States, while Liu Xiu's backer is God.

He was favored by God so much that all the fortune tellers in the entire Han Dynasty predicted that Liu Xiu would become emperor.

Even Liu Xiu himself knew that he was favored by God, so he was fearless and implemented all kinds of inhumane policies. He even did not allow talented generals to use their abilities. This directly led to this guy spending more than ten years to unify the whole of China despite all the miracles of meteorites falling from the sky.

You know, he often saw local commanders die of diarrhea from eating leftovers when two armies were fighting each other, local generals who were protected by tens of thousands of troops were killed by unknown assassins without anyone noticing, and some were even killed by their concubines' lovers... It took him more than ten years to pacify the world for a man who was so favored by God.

Such a person...

Is he really suitable to be the common ruler of the world?

Are you worthy of destiny?

Li Ke raised his hand and covered the sky in front of him with his palm.

It is very simple to not want to obey your own destiny. After learning enough knowledge from Patriarch Bodhi, he would find a cave to meditate for hundreds of years. When he met people, he would pretend that he did not exist. He would go on a fast and would not even go to the toilet. He would just sit there and meditate and practice qigong.

I don’t care if my parents die, I don’t care how my family misses me, I don’t care who is the emperor of the world, I just need to be my own free and easy Qigong practitioner.

By then, he will be immortal, and the world will have another fairy tale.

"But is this... what I want?"

Li Ke clenched his fists. The moment he asked this question, he knew the answer in his heart.

At the same time, Patriarch Bodhi, who was meditating, opened his eyes and sighed helplessly.

"God willing……"
