As the downfall of the Republic of China, there was a Taoist priest named Uncle Jiu

…………

During the Seventh Rebellion, people killed people like hemp.

The officers and soldiers of the imperial court killed innocent people indiscriminately and pretended to be meritorious. The refugee Li Hua, seeing that he could not escape, lay upright in the pile of dead people, pretending to be a dead body.

………………

Seeing that a group of refugees had fled, and the officers and soldiers went after them, Li Hua was about to get up from the pile of corpses.

He knew that those officers and soldiers would come and cut off their heads later.

At this time, a rustling sound came, and he trembled in fright, quickly climbed down, and quietly looked in the direction of the sound.

Immediately, a monster ran into the mass of corpses. The monster looked like a fox and was bigger than a wolf. It lay there and gnawed people's heads, sucking out the brains of people one by one.

Li Hua was very frightened and hid his head under the corpse.The monster came to Li Hua, fiddled with his shoulder, trying to find his head.

Li Hua tried his best to get under the corpse so that it couldn't find his head.

The monster then pushed away the corpse covering it, and Li Hua's head was exposed.

Li Hua was terrified. He groped with his hands under his waist and found a big stone, the size of a bowl. He held it in his hand, thinking that this monster was going to suck his brains out, so he desperately tried.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The rapid barking sounded, and the monster's attention was drawn away, and it let out a hoarse growl in the direction of the barking dog.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

From the sound of the dog's barking, Li Hua could hear that the dog was very frightened and frightened, but still kept barking in place. He couldn't help being very strange:

"Why doesn't this dog run away? But I thank you for helping me lure away the monster. If I can escape, I will set up a grave for you later." Wan.

Chapter 329

Every few miles he walked, Gu Zhou saw a large number of corpses. At a glance, there were at least more than three hundred. Some heads had been chopped off, and most of the corpses were still relatively intact. Judging from the fatal wounds, they were the hands of those cavalrymen.

"Is there anyone alive?"

Gu Zhou swept across the pile of corpses, and a thin man bent over and walked on tiptoe. A few meters away, a beast with a head like a fox, a white tail and long ears was confronting a big black dog, threatening each other.

The big black dog was rather small in size and probably weighed less than forty catties. It was obvious that he couldn't get enough to eat on weekdays, and the hair on his body was mottled.

Hearing its barking sound, he was extremely afraid of the fox-like beast, but he didn't take a step back, lowered his body and bared his teeth, barking unceasingly.

And the beast with a head like a fox was much bigger than a wolf, weighing more than 130 "six nine three" catties.

With a low growl, the fox-like beast got impatient and rushed forward. Although the big black dog was terrified, it also rushed forward and bit it.

After a while, he let out a scream of 'woo woo woo', obviously lost, a few pieces of flesh were bitten off from his body, and his hair was stained red with blood.

Gu Zhou picked up a small stone and flicked it with his fingers.

puff!

The pebble flew hundreds of meters like a bullet, piercing through the head of the fox-like beast, and the brains flowed out, killing him instantly.

"Woooooooo..."

The big black dog limped back to the place covered in blood, lay down next to a corpse, and arched its head against the corpse's head, as if wanting to call him up. Seeing that the corpse was motionless, it let out a mournful cry. .

Seeing the beast die, Li Hua was startled, looked around, his eyes fell on Gu Zhou, swallowed, cupped his hands and said, "But this expert killed this beast?"

Gu Zhou nodded and didn't reply. He took a closer look at the beast, and after seeing the whole picture clearly, he let out a sigh: "Could it be a wolf?"

"Shan Hai Jing. Zhongci Nine Mountains" records that it is four hundred miles to the east and is called Snake Mountain.There is more gold on it, and more chalk below it; the wood is more cotoneaster, more Yuzhang, and the grass is more Jiarong and less pungent.There is a beast named Yan, which looks like a fox with a white tail and long ears. It is called a wolf, and if you see it, you will have soldiers in the country.

It means that there is a monster that looks like a fox, with a white tail and long ears. Whichever country it appears in, there will be civil strife in that country.

"When I was lying here just now, I found that this monster was gnawing on its head, sucking brains one by one."

Li Hua wanted to leave directly, but when he thought that his parents and relatives had all been starved to death, without relatives or reasons, he didn't know where to go, and maybe he would starve to death in a few days.

And the person who killed the monster is obviously very human. If he can hold his leg tightly, it should not be difficult to eat, so he gave up the idea of ​​leaving and leaned over carefully. Seeing Gu Zhou sizing up the monster, he whispered explanation of.

Gu Zhou heard the words and looked at the corpse Li Hua was pointing at. As expected, the head was lifted and the brains were sucked out, so he immediately understood.

The wolf likes to suck brains, and it will go wherever there are corpses. There are a lot of corpses in places where wars occur, and it is easy to attract it.

As a result, it has been passed around that everyone thinks that where there are wolves, there will be wars and chaos. In fact, the chances of seeing wolves are much higher in places where wars and wars occur.

Causality is reversed.

"What's your name?"

"Li Hua."

Li Hua was overjoyed and answered quickly.

"A good dog."

Gu Zhou turned his head to look at the dying black dog.

The dog fled with the owner, and both the dog and the person were hungry skinny. In this case, the owner didn't even think to eat it, which shows that he has a deep affection for it.

It may or may not know that its master is dead, but it just silently guards its master, never allowing anyone or beast to hurt its master, even a corpse.

"follow me."

Gu Zhou reached out and touched the head of the black dog. The dog was covered in blood. A large piece of flesh had been bitten off on one front leg and one back leg, exposing the white bones. The sound of breathing had become very weak, and his life was hanging by a thread.

Obviously, its size is too different from that of a wolf, and it is not an opponent at all if it bites desperately.

Even if it is not an opponent, it will not affect that it is a good dog.

Many people are inferior to this dog.

Gu Zhou still remembers that when he was a child, his family also raised a black dog, which was also black. From kindergarten to high school, that dog watched him grow up. He watched the black dog grow from a puppy to an adult dog, and then slowly Aging, he left home alone on the night of his sophomore year 0  …

Since then, Gu Zhou has never seen it again.

The big black dog could feel Gu Zhou's kindness, and weakly rubbed against Gu Zhou's palm, its head drooped, its eyes closed slowly, and it leaned against the owner's body, waiting for the death to come.

"How about I bandage it up?" Li Hua asked.

Gu Zhou shook his head: "No need."

Then he took out a elixir and fed it into the black dog's mouth, and then used a fountain spell, the blue light fell on the black dog, its wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sound of breathing gradually became stronger.

Seeing this scene, Li Hua was overjoyed: he really is a master!This thigh is very thick, I must hold it tight!

This black dog is relatively psychic, and seems to know that it is to save it. After recovering a little bit of physical strength, it rubbed against Gu Zhou's thigh before lying down to recover its physical strength.

The elixir home Yongquan spell, the black dog recovered quickly, and soon got up to dig the hole, Li Hua was very clever, and hurried up to help, dug out a hole that would be big enough to bury a person, and buried his owner's body go in.

"Good dog, say goodbye to your master."

Gu Zhou patted its head.

The black dog whined a few times, and nuzzled the small bump with its nose.

Two people and one dog left here.

Night shrouded the earth.

The sound of the wind was like a ghost crying, and the 5.2 distant cemetery was even more flickering with phosphorous fire.

Li Hua only felt hairy all over his body, as if there were countless evil spirits hiding in the night staring at them.

"Tell me about the imperial court." Gu Zhou said out loud.

Once Li Hua regained his energy, he was afraid that Gu Zhou would ignore him, so he hurriedly said, "I don't know what the master wants to know about the imperial court."

He is a teacher, literate, and knows a little about the affairs of the court.

"What do you think of and say."

Perhaps this expert is the kind of legendary existence who has been retreating in the mountains for a hundred years. I don't know when it is today. He looks very young, but in fact he may not be hundreds of years old.

Li Hua guessed in his heart, and thought about his words before speaking: "The current Dali Dynasty has been established for more than 500 years. The current emperor ascended the throne at the age of 25, and has been in power for [-] years now.".

Chapter 330 The Emperor and Prince with Super Long Standby

"Hold on."

Gu Zhou raised his hand, turned his head, with a look of surprise on his face: "You remember correctly, he was enthroned at the age of 25 and reigned for [-] years?"

In history, the longest unification emperor is Emperor Qianlong, who was less than 90 years old and reigned for 60 years.

If the separatist emperor is included, Zhao Tuo, the founding emperor of the Nanyue Kingdom at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, lived the longest, at a full 103 years old.

In fact, the emperor is one of the shortest-lived occupations. Among them, there are very few long-lived ones, and many short-lived ones. Only a small part of them can live past 60 years old.

It stands to reason that a generation of emperors, who are pampered and respected above ten thousand people, should have a long lifespan, but it is not the case in reality.

If a promising emperor, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, has almost grown ten livers for a long time, and gathers all major military and political affairs of the country in one person, he needs to worry about it.

From daily civil affairs, farming and water conservancy, to diplomacy and trade, you have to worry about military construction, and the selection of officials... It's hell if you can still be healthy.

If it is a mediocre or fatuous emperor, there are 06 palaces and six courtyards, 72 concubines, and various court ladies in the palace. Some emperors, including Yang Guang, even require the court ladies to wear "open crotch pants".

If you only count the work within your quota, you have to queue up seven days a week, flip cards every day, and work hard day and night. Wouldn’t it be short-lived?

There are not a few emperors who indulged too much and died violently at a young age.

There are other reasons that make it impossible for the emperor to live a long life.

Now that Gu Zhou heard that there was an emperor who was 120 years old and reigned for [-] years, it was no less than seeing a pig climbing a tree, it was outrageous.

Li Hua shook his head firmly: "I remember correctly, the current emperor has been in power for one hundred and three years."

Gu Zhou thought about it, maybe the emperor is a warrior?

As for cultivating the Tao?

It is impossible for the emperor to practice Taoism.

According to Maoshan records, there were many emperors who were obsessed with Taoism in history, but none of them succeeded. According to speculation, it was because the emperor's Taoism conflicted with the dragon spirit.

That is to say, only one of the two can be chosen.

Li Hua talked all the way, Gu Zhou listened all the way, and had a preliminary understanding of this world.

This is a world similar to modern ancient times. The previous dynasty was the Daji Dynasty, which lasted for 400 years, and the world was in chaos. The founding emperor of the Dali Dynasty took advantage of the situation. For the Dali Dynasty.

The Great Patriarch of the Dali Dynasty ruled the world and set a policy of rest and recuperation, but he passed away after only ten years in office.

After the death of the founding emperor, the queen mother listened to the government behind the curtain for 15 years, and actually held the supreme power of the Dali Dynasty. In her tenth year of listening to the government behind the curtain, the second emperor of Dali passed away at the age of 30.

The queen mother was promoted to the empress dowager, and continued to listen to the government behind the curtain. At the age of 72, she followed the Taizu.

It can be seen from this that Gu Zhou knew that the emperors in this world did not live longer than the emperors of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and everyone was about the same.

Only then did Gu Zhou realize how perverted Dali's current emperor is.

In the 500-year dynasty, he alone occupied one-fifth of the time.

During the Kangxi period, Prince Yinreng often complained: "Is there a 40-year-old prince in ancient times and today?"

In modern times, because of a certain sunset, the empire has become "in the past and present, how can there be a prince for 60 years?" '

In the end, 60 years turned into 70 years.

The heir to the Sunset Empire has been the prince for 70 years and finally takes the throne.

Now it seems that 70 years will be refreshed again. The current emperor ascended the throne at the age of 25. According to normal circumstances, ten or eight heirs at this age are not too much.

"How many years has the current prince been in office?"

Gu Zhou was very curious about this.

Li Hua's expression was strange: "In 110, he was the first son of the current emperor. He was canonized as the crown prince at birth. He was ten years old when the current emperor ascended the throne."

"Hahahahaha..."

Gu Zhou finally lived in Bengbu. The pair of emperors he co-authored had a super long standby time. One reigned for 110 years, and the other prince reigned for [-] three years.

What, let's see who lasted longer?

In the ancient and modern world, is there a 110-year-old prince?

The prince was aggrieved.

When I was 20 years old, I dreamed of being the emperor myself.
