Chapter 52: The Beginning of the Disaster
Liu Zhaoqing did not return home. As for the reason...
Because now my house has been completely flooded.
The crack caused by the six-headed dragon's infiltration became larger and larger, and many escaping fish and poisonous eagles emerged from it. Liu Zhaoqing's home was soon completely submerged by the flood.
Fortunately, Tian Yu and some Hebei heroes were in Pingyuan County at that time, preventing the escaped Gu Yu and Gu Diao from harming more civilians.
At this time, Liu Zhaoqing was on the third floor of the Baixi Theater. Bo Cai and others had already prepared hot water so that Liu Zhaoqing could wash and change clothes as soon as he arrived at the theater.
Jiao'er and Bao'er were still busy organizing the people to clean up the county town after the disaster. Liu Zhaoqing didn't dare to really take a rest. He planned to take a shower, change into clean clothes and go out to help, otherwise it would not be good if he, "Mr. Liu", became the same as "Mr. Liu Beggar".
When Liu Zhaoqing took off his tattered clothes, a pornographic book fell out of his inner pocket and landed on the floor.
He quickly bent down to pick it up, and after taking a look, he found that the man's book was intact. Unlike him, it was not even stained with a trace of dirt.
This also made Liu Zhaoqing feel relieved.
Then Liu Zhaoqing immediately opened the book and read the first page with great interest.
"As expected... Liu Bei is one of the most outstanding people in the world."
Liu Zhaoqing saw that the column for "Tian" which was originally empty in the book now had an additional "Liu Bei". However, what puzzled him was that the word "Liu Bei" seemed a bit illusory and not as solid as those written by Bo Cai and the others.
"Could it be that Liu Bei is still the county magistrate and it is impossible for him to directly submit to me and enter Qing Mansion like Bo Cai and Liu Pi did? Is it because he has feelings for me..."
Liu Zhaoqing felt that her guess was almost right. Liu Bei was a man who loved his people. Faced with the only chance Liu Zhaoqing had seized to save Pingyuan, she did not hesitate to entrust her life to help him.
"But in this way, I should be able to see Liu Bei's attributes, right? And my intelligence is now 181. In the future, if someone reports their name or spends more time with them, I should be able to fully see their attributes, unless their intelligence is much higher than mine."
Thinking about this, Liu Zhaoqing turned to the next page, but he didn't expect that Liu Bei's attributes were on the page before the "Three Heroes".
It is also an ink painting. In the painting, Liu Bei is sitting beside a street. He has a simple figure and is looking at the shoes on the straw mat in front of him with a sad face.
"This is Sister Xuande's...early life."
Liu Zhaoqing reached out and lightly touched the ink painting. For a moment, the ink painting rippled and gradually condensed into several lines of ancient characters.
【Liu Bei】
【Outstanding Person】
【22 years old】
【Wu: 431】
【Wisdom: 185】
【Body: 301】
【Charm: 818】
[Heavenly Gift: Transformed into a dragon (天字); Virtue of benevolence (天字, greatly increases the happiness and belonging of the people who follow you); Healing diseases with essence (天字, one's essence can cure a hundred diseases); Strength of both legs (地字, great strength to control heights);]
[Earth Spirit: Yanqing (Dragon Seed)]
[Potential: Good fortune (the word "天", a ray of destiny); Homecoming (the word "天", extremely charming, easy to make others feel good); Weeping and shaking the heavens (the word "天")]
"Is this... really a human..." Liu Zhaoqing opened his mouth, but after a long time he could only utter this sentence.
This is the legendary Boss Liu, right?
The charm column alone on this attribute panel was enough to make Liu Zhaoqing's jaw drop, and he called out "succubus" in his heart.
As for the gift from heaven that was emitting three golden lights and one purple light, Liu Zhaoqing was even more surprised.
Not to mention the three potentials (passive) at the end, which means Liu Bei has the capital to draw two SSRs at the beginning.
As for the "earth spirit", even though Liu Zhaoqing still didn't understand what it meant, he guessed that it was probably exclusive to outstanding people and was a ability similar to shapeshifting.
"Sister Xuande is not a real combat-type general. If it were Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and the others, they might be even more exaggerated."
After Liu Zhaoqing muttered to himself, he suddenly realized that he didn't need to ask Renjie himself about the God-given effect. He could understand it at a glance.
"Could this be the benefit of having an intelligence breakthrough of 100? Breaking through 100 means one surpasses ordinary people... Then it seems that adding all 100 points to intelligence was a blessing in disguise."
This is all Liu Bei's attributes for now, but Liu Zhaoqing has a greater expectation in his heart.
That is - Yinglong.
Liu Zhaoqing flipped through the book of people for a long time, and finally saw Yinglong's portrait on the last page close to his attribute panel.
Although both are ink paintings, Yinglong is more lifelike.
It hovered in the clouds with its wings spread, its body lying on the auspicious clouds, and its eyes slightly open, looking very majestic.
"It seems that it has taken up residence inside my human book... I don't know if this is a good thing." Liu Zhaoqing was still a little worried.
Although Yinglong helped him slay the dragon, it also cost him ten years of his life. What if Yinglong sucked him dry one day when he wasn't paying attention?
And the key point is that Liu Zhaoqing could not feel that consciousness at this time, so he was not sure what Yinglong was thinking or what he was going to do.
Liu Zhaoqing stretched out his hand and touched the ink painting.
"But from my previous conversation with it, it seems that its nature is not evil. It should be resting now? I don't know what it eats. Will it kill me?" Liu Zhaoqing muttered to himself while touching the Yinglong in the ink painting.
He was also thinking about whether the Yinglong ink painting could also display its attributes, but after touching it for a long time, there was no response, so he guessed it couldn't.
But I have to say, this ink painting of Yinglong is particularly exquisite and feels pretty good.
Just when Liu Zhaoqing expressed this idea, Yinglong in the painting suddenly moved, opened its mouth and bit Liu Zhaoqing's finger.
"Ow!!"
-
Coming out of the temporary bathroom, Liu Zhaoqing had already changed his clothes.
At this time, Bo Cai happened to pass by and quickly stopped to say, "Master, Xiaodu just reported that there are many heroes outside our house who want to see you."
"Okay, I'll go check it out later."
"Eh? Master, what happened to your finger? Why is it wrapped with a tape?"
"Well, I accidentally touched it while taking a shower and a layer of skin peeled off. It's okay and it will heal soon."
Liu Zhaoqing coughed twice awkwardly, and then he noticed a commotion downstairs. He looked down from the corridor to the yard downstairs and found that it was Liu Bei who had walked into the yard of the Baixi Building and was talking to his daughter.
"You are Zhao Qing's maid, right? I am the county magistrate, and I am here to look for your master. Where is your master?"
The little girl didn't speak.
"Not here?"
The little girl didn't speak either.
Just when Liu Bei was wondering if he had offended the little girl in some way, Liu Zhaoqing immediately came down from upstairs with a smile on his face.
"Why is Sister Xuande here? You should be very busy right now, right?" Liu Zhaoqing said.
"Hey, master! Your shoes." Bo Cai reminded him too late.
Liu Zhaoqing came to Liu Bei regardless of the mud after the flood in the yard which had not yet been cleaned up.
"There are many things, but I also came to see Zhao Qing for an important matter. It seems that Zhao Qing has recovered well?" Liu Bei also smiled and asked happily.
"I'm fine. By the way, where is Zhao Yun? Sister Xuande, you didn't invite her, did you?" Liu Zhaoqing was still thinking about Zhao Yun at this moment.
There was no way. He couldn't think about it before he met him, but after seeing how brave and heroic Zhao Zilong was, Liu Zhaoqing couldn't forget him at all.
Even if he couldn't take her down, he had to let Liu Bei get in touch with her as soon as possible.
"I'm glad Zhaoqing is okay. Zilong is being received by Xianhe, and Yunchang Yide is also dealing with the matters concerning the dragon and the riverbank. I'm here not only to see Zhaoqing, but also to return the things that Zhaoqing dropped..." Liu Bei took out the thing wrapped in black cloth from his arms.
"Sister Xuande, please come with me first." Liu Zhaoqing held her arm, asking her not to open it at this time, and then took her to a private room on the third floor of the Baixi Building.
It was called a private room, but because the tables and chairs and other items were taken away for disaster relief, and valuable items such as calligraphy and paintings were exchanged for money in other counties, the only thing that could be considered "elegant" in the room was the floor that could not be lifted up.
"This is such a shabby room. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Sister Xuande." Liu Zhaoqing searched for a chair but couldn't find one. He shook his head helplessly.
Liu Bei shook his head, then sat down on the ground. He placed the cloth in his arms on the ground in front of him, and then slowly opened it, revealing the sword and wood chip inside.
Liu Zhaoqing took the sword. At this time, the sword was dim, but he could faintly feel a hint of cold light. Then he picked up the wood chip and looked at it, but he still couldn't see anything.
During his observation, Liu Bei did not speak and did not ask any questions.
"Sister Xuande, don't you recognize these two things?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.
Although Liu Bei respected her secret and did not ask in detail, Liu Zhaoqing felt that Liu Bei was trustworthy. After all, the 100 points and her act of risking her life to save her showed that he valued her.
"I don't recognize them." Liu Bei shook his head, then looked at the two things and said, "But these two things should not be ordinary things. Zhao Qing, you have to keep them well."
"Don't you even recognize Sister Xuande..." Liu Zhaoqing murmured. He still wanted to find out what these two things were.
Although I know their names, the human book does not provide any instructions for their use or origins.
"I only know that the sword is called 'Bi Shui' and the piece of wood is called 'He Tu', and I don't know anything else." Liu Zhaoqing said.
"The Water-Resistant Sword, the River Map... Perhaps I am not well-educated and have never heard of them, but this should be what Zhao Qing got from the six-headed dragon, right?" Liu Bei asked.
"Yes." Liu Zhaoqing nodded. "After I was swallowed by the six-headed dragon, my eyes went dark and my hand grabbed a hard object. I didn't expect it to be a sword."
"That should be the six-headed dragon that sucked the water from the Yellow River and swallowed it into its stomach..." Liu Bei pondered, "The Yellow River stretches for 5,000 miles and existed before the Yao and Shun dynasties. The ancient artifacts in it are likely to be treasures from long ago. It is indeed difficult to find if it is just a name. Zhao Qing can go to the county magistrate's office to look for a clue later."
"Okay." Liu Zhaoqing nodded. These two things could appear in the human book records, so they must be no ordinary things. Especially the sword, which could cut the six-headed dragon directly like cutting tofu. It must be a good thing.
After he finished speaking, Liu Zhaoqing discovered that Liu Bei seemed to have something else to say, but he remained silent for a long time, and he suddenly felt a little confused.
"Sister Xuande, do you have anything else to say?"
After a moment of silence, Liu Bei looked at Liu Zhaoqing and said, "Zhaoqing, do you want to go to the north to rest for a few months?"
"Now that the disaster has been resolved, the Plains counties are also praising your deeds... This is not good for us."
What Liu Bei said sounded like he was doing something like "putting away the bow after the birds are all gone" or being a villain who "demolishes the bridge after crossing it".
But Liu Zhaoqing understood after a little thought. He looked at Liu Bei and said, "Sister Xuande, do you want to take the blame for treason for me?"
Although the great disaster is certain, the catastrophe is just beginning.
Chapter 53: People in Danger
The reason was not because the people worshiped him, but because of what Liu Zhaoqing had said before, "The sky is dead."
After a pause, Liu Bei sighed and said, "I know I can't hide it from you, but this is indeed a big deal."
"Everything I do is for the people. If this is considered treason, then there is no justice in this court." Liu Zhaoqing said with a smile.
"The right way." Liu Bei was silent for a moment, then continued, "When I was young, I had the honor of studying under Mr. Lu who traveled to Zhuo County. If we talk about the 'right way', he should be considered one."
"But..." Liu Bei shook his head.
That’s all I have to say, but it speaks for itself.
In today's era, there are only a handful of "righteous people" in the entire Han court.
"I am a relative of the Han royal family and was recommended by Lord Bo'an. I am not like Zhao Qing who has no power to rely on. If some villains misinterpret Zhao Qing's words, I also have ways to refute and clear them." Liu Bei said with a very serious look.
"Then the best outcome is that Sister Xuande and your two younger sisters will be demoted to commoners and go home to weave straw sandals again?" Liu Zhaoqing said helplessly.
"And Sister Xuande, have you ever thought that if I run away, wouldn't that only further solidify this stigma?"
Now Liu Bei was speechless. He couldn't escape, nor did he want to escape. He was really in a dilemma.
At this time, Liu Zhaoqing laughed again and said, "I have said before that I am a commoner and have no official position. I am the one who asks the heavens. Sister Xuande, why do you regret it now?"
"I didn't agree at that time." Liu Bei was silent for a while, pursed his lips and said.
"Okay, okay, don't worry. The people's eyes are the sharpest. We have saved thousands of people. Even if there are no righteous people in the court, there are countless people speaking for us. There is no need to be afraid." Liu Zhaoqing shook his head, looking relaxed.
He was worried that Zhang Jiao and the others would enter the stage of "raising the flag and changing the sky" too early, which might have a bad influence on her "great and virtuous teacher".
It's nothing for him. He killed the dragon with the intention of promoting the Yellow Turbans at the beginning, but in the end it was really just for the common people.
Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to save an unrelated person in the end. The evil dragon was too cunning. It was not morally right to let it live in the world and harm lives again. And the most important thing was that it was useless to worry about such things. If a big shot wanted to get you, there were thousands of ways to do it. You just had to fight back.
"By the way, Sister Xuande, I have a question for you." Liu Zhaoqing took the initiative to change the subject.
Liu Bei had long expected that Liu Zhaoqing would not listen, so he had no choice but to act according to circumstances and help Liu Zhaoqing avoid the villain's trap.
He sighed, and then following his question, Liu Bei asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's about the time when you, Sister Xuande, turned into a dragon..." Liu Zhaoqing looked at Liu Bei's chest. He still remembered that there was a blue and red color flowing on the dragon's belly at that time. Combined with the description of "Yanqing" in the human book, this was indeed a bit strange. Could it be that there are two-colored dragons in this world?
