Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. Thinking of the King of Liang, who had already fought in Jiangxi, everyone felt sad.

Whats there to be afraid of? Just do it. Suddenly, a shout sounded.

Immediately, someone chimed in.

Ever since King Li of Zhou and his son guarded the North, they havent let the Di people break through the defense line of Jinzhou. Which time didnt the Di people come aggressively? Which time didnt they let King Yue Fei beat them up and escape with their tails between their legs?!

Thats right. King Yue Fei is the guardian of the North. With him around, the North is stable.

Ill buy a portrait of King Yue Fei later and paste it in the house. Ill kowtow three times in the morning and night. I guarantee that you wont panic and you wont be disheartened. Everything will taste good.

Uh, does it work?

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

Even Yu Youyao, who was sitting in the car, couldnt help but smile. It turned out that King Yue Feis reputation in the North was no less than that of Shen Tu and Yu Lei, the two guardians of the residence.

Wherever the hearts of the people went, they would definitely be invincible.

It works, it definitely works, shouted someone in the crowd.

Then, many people laughed and joined in.

Do you see the team of soldiers behind King Yue Fei? Theyre the most powerful MO Saber Army in the You army. Once theyre out, no army can defeat them. Theyre specially used to counter cavalry. Every MO Saber soldier has the strength to fight a hundred enemies.

This was not an exaggeration. The MO Saber soldiers were dressed in heavy armor. The archery that the Northern Barbarians were good at was not very lethal to the MO Saber Army who charged forward. Once the MO Saber Army got close, they were simply like wolves entering a flock of sheep. With a slash, they would be cut to the ground.

As everyone knew, bows and arrows were long-range weapons. When a MO saber approached an enemy, it was almost invincible.

Yu Youyao bent her finger and knocked on the wall of the carriage.

The window on the roof was pushed open. Yin s.h.i.+, who was sitting on the roof on guard, jumped into the carriage.

Yu Youyao pursed her lips and smiled. Help me buy the most widely circulated portrait of King Yue Fei in the city.

She wanted to see if the King Yue Fei in the portrait had three heads and six arms. Why was he even more magical than the door G.o.d stuck to the door?

After a while, Yin s.h.i.+ returned and handed two scrolls to Yu Youyao.

Yu Youyao opened one of them expectantly and spat it out on the spot.

Xia Taos eyes widened. Ah, this

Chun Xiao was also dumbfounded. Is this King Yue Fei?!

The image of King Yue Fei in the painting was based on the four asuras recorded in the Lotus Sutra. It was the fusion of the four asuras.

Afraid that the painting did not express it clearly, the person in the portrait even considerately included an introduction on the painting. Lord Yue Fei was brave, strong, and wise. He was the commander of a thousand troops. He lifted the nine prefectures with one shoulder and carried the four seas with the other. His roar was like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth. He had nine heads, each with a thousand eyes, and nine feet. He spat fire from his mouth and burned the evil in the world. His 990 huge hands covered the light of the sun and moon.

This image was really impressive.

Yu Youyao was laughing so hard that she was out of breath. Even her intestines were tied up. Even three heads and six arms isnt that ridiculous. Which talent did this? This is definitely the worst criticism Yin Huaixi has received. According to Buddhist records, the asura was ugly.

Yin s.h.i.+ was silent for a moment before reminding her, Theres another painting.

Yu Youyao laughed until tears streamed down her face. She held back her laughter and couldnt help but be curious about the second painting. She quickly opened the scroll and was stunned. If Im not wrong, theres a woman drawn on it!

When did Yin Huaixis gender change?

The corners of Yin s.h.i.+s mouth twitched. She endured it and said, This

painting is about you.

I Yu Youyaos eyes widened in disbelief. She pointed at her nose with her tender finger. Why did you buy my portrait?!

Yin s.h.i.+ was silent for a moment. When I bought your painting, I received His

Highnesss painting for free.

Yu Youyao was a little stunned. At the thought of Yin Huaixis asura fusion, she suddenly had a bad feeling. She quickly lowered her head to look at the painting and heaved a sigh of relief.

The woman in the painting was dignified and beautiful. She was stepping on the Nine Serenities, and her body was under the moonlight. She was dressed in a purple crown outfit. Her clothes were painted with the sun, moon, mountains, flowers, birds, insects, gra.s.s, and five grains. She gently pinched a vine between her fingers. It looked like a sweet potato vine. She looked at the world with a smile and was benevolent.

Yu Youyao was stunned. This is

Yin s.h.i.+ said, The image in the painting is modeled after G.o.ddess Houtu, who was consecrated by the commoners. There are also paintings that use Bodhisattva as an image. However, the image of G.o.ddess Houtu in mythology suits you more, so this kind of image is the most widely circulated. Many commoners will hang it at home to wors.h.i.+p.

Yu Youyao couldnt smile anymore.

G.o.ddess Houtu had a t.i.tle. She was called the Emperor of the Land of the Earth. She was one of the Four Heavenly Ministers of Daoism. Land was the foundation on which people relied for survival. G.o.ddess Houtu controlled Yin and Yang, the beauty of all things, and the mountains and rivers of the earth.

She was responsible for all nature. Therefore, many people believed in G.o.ddess Houtu and called her Mother Earth. They firmly believed that believing in G.o.ddess Houtu could allow agriculture to prosper.

People liked to deify some meritorious people, not because they were stupid, but because this expressed their reverence and admiration for these people. It was simple and plain.

Perhaps in ancient times, G.o.ddess Houtu was only an ordinary woman who had helped everyone avoid the flood. However, the world was grateful to her, respected her, and admired her. In order to express their reverence for her, they had deified her and pa.s.sed down her fearless spirit generation after generation.

What right did she have?!

Was it just because she had planted sweet potatoes?

Yu Youyao pursed her lips and slowly rolled up the scroll, carefully putting it away.

The carriage slowly drove through the streets and stopped at the entrance of a courtyard.

Yin Sans voice sounded from outside the carriage. The Jinyuan Garden is a side courtyard where His Highness usually stays in Jinzhou. The conditions are a little simple, but Ill have to trouble the Eldest Princess to rest here for a few days.

The Jinyuan Garden was a two-way courtyard that occupied a large area. The courtyard was filled with tall trees, plants, and trees. It was s.p.a.cious. However, the courtyard had been abandoned for a long time, and everything was exposed. The traces of hasty management looked a little dilapidated.

Yin San continued, When Master w.a.n.g first arrived in Liaodong for a few years, the war in the North was tense every year. The old king lived in Jinzhou most of the time. The old king was afraid that he would wrong the old Princess Consort, so he specially bought this other courtyard. Jinzhou is affected by the height of gra.s.sland, and its very cold. Only some flowers and trees that are evergreen can be planted. Many flowers and trees in the other courtyard were personally planted by the old king.

Yu Youyao was in a daze. When she looked up, she saw a few osmanthus trees, incense camphor, and dragon cypress trees not far away. They were well-arranged and spa.r.s.e.

The trees were ordinary trees, but the people who planted them had put in a lot of effort. Ordinary plants also had a style. The shape and appearance of the tree were all graceful, and they were quite ornamental..
