Chapter 238 One more battle!
Nanyang...
The Northland...
Inside the room, Li Jun remained silent after listening to Han Tieyi's account.
He initially thought the heroic spirits were wandering around because they couldn't stay still in the fish-shaped talisman, but...
It turns out it was all his own fault!
Has the training method of the Northern Shamanic lineage truly been changed by his own careless words?
What kind of situation is this?
Li Jun wanted to say something, but looking at Han Tieyi's respectful expression, he didn't know what to say.
Forget it.
If it's changed, it's changed.
It's not a bad thing anyway.
Li Jun suppressed his helplessness and looked at Han Tieyi.
"General Han, I have a question for you."
Han Tieyi quickly replied, "Please speak, Your Excellency."
Li Jun pointed to the fish-shaped tally on the table.
"While you remain inside this fish-shaped talisman, will the incense and offerings be of any help to you?"
Han Tieyi paused for a moment, then nodded heavily.
"have!"
"Your Excellency, in recent days, most of the brothers under my command have regained their senses."
"All of this is thanks to Your Excellency!"
The spirits behind him nodded, their faces full of gratitude.
Li Jun nodded thoughtfully.
He had previously guessed that the incense offerings should be beneficial to the spirits of the fallen heroes.
Now it seems that this was indeed the case.
That being the case...
Li Jun looked at Han Tieyi and remained silent for a few seconds.
Then, he slowly began to speak.
"General Han, I have an idea."
Han Tieyi quickly clasped his hands in greeting.
"Please give your orders, Your Majesty!"
Li Jun waved his hand.
"It's not an order, it's a discussion."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over all the heroic spirits present.
"You all went to war for the country and shed your blood on the battlefield."
"Although we exist in this way now, we should not remain trapped in this small fish-shaped tally forever."
Han Tieyi was stunned.
He opened his mouth, as if to say something.
Li Jun raised his hand to stop him.
"The Great Xia Dynasty is currently in a period of great upheaval."
"The third wave of spiritual tide has broken out, and strange phenomena are occurring in various countries. All sorts of demons and monsters are stirring up trouble."
"The Great Xia needs someone to protect it."
"And you all may be the most suitable candidates."
The room fell silent.
Han Tieyi stood there, his expression constantly changing.
There was gratitude, there was conflict, and there was also a trace of... reluctance.
Behind him, the heroic spirits remained silent, looking at each other, unsure of what to do.
A while later.
Han Tieyi took a deep breath and knelt down on one knee.
"Your Excellency!"
His voice trembled slightly.
"We, your humble servants, are willing to remain here to protect Your Majesty!"
"His Majesty has shown us great kindness, we..."
"General Han."
Li Jun interrupted him.
He stepped forward, reached out, and helped Han Tieyi up.
"This humble Taoist priest has no need for protection."
His voice was calm, but earnest.
"It's very safe here."
"But Great Xia needs you."
He looked into Han Tieyi's eyes.
"General Han, back then you defended the border for the country, sacrificing your lives and shedding your blood."
"Today, this land is still the same land."
"Don't you want to continue protecting it?"
Han Tieyi's body jolted violently.
He looked at Li Jun, and something was surging in those resolute eyes.
Those are memories.
He recalled the days when he and his brothers fought against the invaders on the frontier of the Anxi Protectorate.
I think of my brothers who died in battle, and of my hometown that I can never return to.
The Tang Dynasty is no more.
But this land still exists.
Han Tieyi's eyes suddenly stung.
He took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
"Your Excellency, I understand."
His voice was hoarse but firm.
"We, your humble servants, are willing to fight one more battle for the Great Xia!"
Behind him, the heroic spirits all knelt down in unison.
"We, your humble servants, are willing to fight one more battle for the Great Xia!"
The sound was so synchronized that it made the room tremble slightly.
Looking at these heroic spirits, Li Jun felt a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.
"it is good."
He said.
"Then it's settled."
Li Jun turned around, picked up the fish-shaped tally from the table, and said, "I will give this fish-shaped tally to the night watchman."
"From now on, you will all rely on this fish-shaped tally to protect the Great Xia."
"As for offerings, the Night's Watch should take care of that."
Han Tieyi nodded.
"We, your humble servants, will follow Your Majesty's arrangements."
Just then.
Li Jun suddenly frowned and turned to look out the window.
Soon, the master's voice came from outside.
"Jun'er! Manager Liu has arrived!"
Li Jun withdrew his gaze and looked at Han Tieyi.
"General Han, you should return to the fish tally first."
Han Tieyi clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"yes!"
He turned around and looked at the heroic spirits behind him.
"Brothers, let's go!"
The heroic spirits responded in unison, transforming into beams of light and disappearing back into the fish-shaped talisman.
The room returned to silence.
Li Jun hung the fish-shaped tally on his waist, pushed open the door, and went out.
……
The sun was shining brightly in the courtyard.
The old Taoist priest was sitting at the stone table, talking to Liu Zhenguo.
There was a large box on the ground in front of the two of them. The box was open and filled with all sorts of things, including snacks and toys.
Beside her, Nannan was squatting by the box, curiously looking through the things.
She picked up a rag doll, looked at it, then put it down. She picked up a rattle drum, shook it, and it made a "dong dong dong" sound. A happy smile appeared on her little face.
Liu Zhenguo sat at the stone table, looking at the little girl with shock in his eyes.
Before he came today, President Qin specifically instructed him to find out the details of this dragon no matter what.
Energy level, transformed state, any special abilities...?
President Qin said a lot, and Liu Zhenguo remembered it all.
But when he actually saw the little girl, all the questions he had prepared in his mind vanished.
This...this is the dragon?
That dragonfish that turned into a dragon in just over three months?
Liu Zhenguo looked at the little girl squatting by the box, fiddling with a rattle drum, her smile revealing two small tiger teeth, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.
This is too much...
This is too unreal.
"Manager Liu."
Li Jun's voice rang out.
Liu Zhenguo suddenly came to his senses and quickly stood up.
"Master Li!"
He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply.
Li Jun offered a slight helping hand.
"No need for such formalities."
He sat down at the stone table and glanced at the box next to him.
"This is……"
Liu Zhenguo quickly explained, "Taoist Master, these are some things prepared for...for this young lady."
He looked at Nannan, unsure of what to call her.
Called Dragon Girl?
Something doesn't seem right.
Call me young fellow Daoist?
It felt strange.
Li Jun noticed his embarrassment and smiled.
"Her name is Nannan, let's call her that for now."
Liu Zhenguo nodded quickly.
He looked at Nannan and gave her what he thought was his kindest smile.
"Sweetie, do you like these things?"
The little girl hugged the rattle drum, looked up at him with her little face, and then nodded.
"I like it, thank you, Uncle."
The voice was soft and sweet, like a glutinous rice ball.
Liu Zhenguo's smile grew even brighter.
"If you like it, that's good. If you like it, that's good."
He secretly made a mental note to send over more later.
The old Taoist priest chuckled and said, "Little Liu, you're too kind. There's no need for so much."
Liu Zhenguo quickly waved his hand.
"Of course, of course, please don't be so polite, Master Dao."
He paused, looked at Li Jun, and asked cautiously, "Master, what you said before..."
Li Jun nodded.
"I'll need your help with the household registration matter."
Liu Zhenguo quickly replied, "No trouble at all, it's my duty."
He took a tablet out of his bag and opened a webpage.
"Master, shall we register now?"
Li Jun took the tablet and glanced at it.
The above are all the information that needs to be filled in.
He glanced at it a few times and handed it to his master.
The old Taoist priest took the tablet, looked at the girl sitting next to him, and said:
"Jun'er, this child will take your surname from now on."
Li Jun was stunned for a moment.
"Your surname is Li?"
The old Taoist priest nodded.
"Yes, I'll take your surname and be called Li Lingxi."
Li Jun was somewhat surprised.
"Master, why do you suddenly want to take my surname?"
The old Taoist priest glanced at him, his eyes filled with a touch of emotion.
"This is a tradition in our temple."
