"Come here and pinch your shoulders!"

"Yes, Master..." Gem walked over and put it on Li Mu's shoulder and pressed it. But he was thinking about something in his mind. Once he thought hard, he became a little distracted and his hands were no longer severity.

"Be gentle!" Li Mu was pinched and felt pain, and then he opened his eyes and glared at him.

Gem quickly took a light move, frowned and said, "But Master, I really don't understand what you mean. Can you get the favor of Princess Huanzhu in this way?"

Li Mu did not answer this question, but asked, "Boy, how many master's wives do you have?"

"One, two, three, four, five..." Gem counted his fingers and found that five fingers were not enough. As long as he added another hand, he finally counted enough, and said, "Six master's wives."

"So, is the master very capable?"

"Big!" Gem suddenly realized and hurriedly smiled.

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Continue to think about it, let's talk about it after you figure it out."

"Oh." Gem muttered and thought hard. After a while, when Li Mu was really about to fall asleep, he spoke out and suddenly realized: "I understand Master, you are honing my mind!"

"Ah?" Li Mu was stunned. He looked at Gem, but Gem thought he had made the right statement, and surprised Li Mu. He smiled and said, "I already understand what Master means. Princess Huanzhu didn't like me before. It must be because I was frivolous and not steady enough. Master asked me to do the work of a servant, just to make me steady. In this way, Princess Huanzhu can look up to me, right?"

"It's not too stupid..." Li Mu laughed dryly, thinking that this was also a good excuse, so he took advantage of the situation and said seriously: "You are too impetuous and proud. You don't even understand the principle of being humble and being full of harm. If you look unreliable, you also want to marry the princess of our Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes, Master..." Gem couldn't help but feel ashamed. When he recalled all the things he had come to the Tang Dynasty, he was so impetuous! The Tang Dynasty's outstanding people and Princess Huanzhu are the first-class people. She must have a high vision. It is very normal for her to look down on herself!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat and said ashamed: "Fortunately, he got the guidance of his master, otherwise his disciple would continue to be impetuous. Not to mention pursuing Princess Huanzhu, I'm afraid he won't even marry a wife, so he can only return to Tubo and accept the arrangements of his father!"

"It's good if you know... Remember, Master will not harm you. All the hardships you endure are training and tests." Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, thinking that there is nothing wrong with this person's imagination exaggerated. He has made up everything by himself to save himself from talking nonsense.

"Yes!" Germden's face changed and he pinched his master's legs seriously. He also expressed his opinion: "Master, don't worry, my disciple will never complain again in the future. I will follow the Master's teachings to correct my past and hone my will, without any complaints."

"Well, the boy can teach you." Li Mu became more and more satisfied, thinking that there were no such disciples. If you look back, you could collect a few more, and even save money on hiring maids and servants.

However, he was not so crazy. He really asked Gem to learn massage, so he waved his hand and said, "It would be great to have this attitude. I can transform myself subtly and I can't stay in my mouth. But there is no need to be too involved. After all, I can massage and I can't marry a wife."

"Yes, Master." Gem responded honestly this time. He knew that he would definitely not guess Li Mu's idea, so he simply stopped guessing and just obediently.

"Well, you are the prince of Tubo, the future king of Tubo. If you think about things from a macro perspective, you cannot be obsessed with your children's love. Do you have no idea about your country?" Li Mu pulled his words to the country and secretly glanced at Gem: "If you become the king of Tubo in the future, how do you govern the country?"

"I..." Gem suddenly became silent, and his movements became much lighter. Li Mu waited for his answer, his eyes were on him. Gem was forced to do nothing, and sighed and said, "I dare not deceive my master. If possible, I don't want to go back to Tubo."

Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you want to go back?"

Gem sighed, squatted opposite Li Mu, looked up at Li Mu, and said, "Master, I don't like Tubo. Although I was born and raised there, I don't like it."

After pausing, Gem continued, "Tell me what I don't like the most, Master, do you know why Tubo and the Central Plains have to fight every few years?"

Li Mu sneered and said, "You ask me this? There are probably many wars that you Tubo has taken on, this is a fact!"

"This is what I hate most about Tubo." Gem sighed and said, "Master, you should know that although Tubo is vast, there are not many places where it can grow food. There are cattle and sheep, but there are no good pastures and poor products. There are no powerful tribes like the Tang Dynasty unified the plateau, so all places are in charge of their own."

"Because grasslands and arable land are limited, people have to fight for land, grasslands and water sources. If they win the war, they can get grasslands, arable land and slaves. If they lose the war, they can also die and reduce the food consumption of their own tribes--"

Speaking of this, Gem was a little unable to say anything. He was silent for a while before continuing. "I can understand all these, but what I can't understand is that sometimes, they are fighting for grasslands, farmlands, or simply to reduce the population!"

Gem gritted his teeth and said, "When I was seven years old, I heard my father discuss with several uncles whether to find an excuse to fight a war and clean up the elderly, weak, sick and disabled in the tribe. The war with the Tang Dynasty is probably the same as this, because they know that the Tang Dynasty disdained to occupy Tubo. If they win or lose, they don't care, but as long as they fight, the population can be reduced and the pressure to deal with winter will be reduced. This is why, most of the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo occurred in autumn!"

Gem shed tears and said, "They don't regard people as humans at all! In their eyes, people are not as good as cows or as sheep! I don't like this, and I don't want to be such a person!"

"I learned a lot when I came to the Tang Dynasty. I knew what etiquette is, what law is, what righteousness is, and what filial piety is. I think it is really cruel to live in such a country, Tubo."

Li Mu looked at Gem in a daze. He had always thought that Gem was a reckless man with muscles in his mind. He did things straightforwardly and would not think much. But today, he looked at his words and deeds, like a person who kept his bitterness in his heart and had a little tolerance in his personality. His thoughts coincided with Li Mu. Li Mu hated slavery very much. Although under the feudal system, the human rights of the people were not very guaranteed, at least the people could still choose, and the people under the slave system were completely inhumane.

The reason why people are human is different from livestock. People who become livestock by themselves or treat people as livestock should not exist in this world.

Gem's idea has been a progress compared to his father and uncles. This is the progress of slavery to feudalism, and it is also a great leap in human history.

What Li Mu needs to do now is to encourage him and give him confidence. If he can help him complete this, he can also exchange for decades of border stability in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Mu never thought about the idea of ​​once and for all, because that was impossible. The world's general trend, long-term unity will lead to separation and long-term unity. Maybe the day when Li Shimin was there, Li Mu was there, and Gem was there, Tubo and Tang Dynasty could maintain peace, but when the creators of the contract were gone, the so-called peace would eventually be broken.

But that's how things are. You can't just stop doing it just because one day you will fail. Peace is very valuable even if it is short-lived.

Li Mu stood up, pulled Gem up, and said, "Nothing is difficult in the world, I am afraid of those who are interested. Now your identity is your greatest reliance. I will help you succeed to the throne. Do you dare to try to change your country? Transform it into what you like!"

"I……"

"I'll ask you, do you dare?"

"Dare!" Gem did not hesitate anymore. Suddenly, he seemed to understand what a man should look like, and he seemed to understand what direction he should work for!

Ikyu, who was watching this scene, stopped cleaning. He stopped for a while, as if he had remembered something, and his eyes were confused. After a while, he returned to his sweeping floor and continued to sweep the floor.

In the evening, the two of them who had been working hard for a day finally had a rest. Li Mu asked someone to bring a table of food, and the master and the disciples ate together. Li Mu was resting all day long, and there was no consumption, so he naturally couldn't get enough food. They were both greedy and old. How could they not be hungry after working for a day?

After dinner, it was already evening. Li Mu watched the two of them clean up the remaining soup and called them to the front.

Li Mu turned his back to the sunset, and the afterglow wrapped him, as if a god descended to earth, and seemed increasingly sacred and undesirable. Seeing this, the two disciples couldn't help but become solemn.

"When you are old, you will feel proud of what you are today, because you two will learn my true skills." Li Mu said with a serious face.

"Listen to Master's teachings!"

"Ha," Li Mu chuckled and said, "There are rumors that your master, I am a god from heaven. These words are true, and smart people think they are false. Let's not be true or false. Today I will take you to see the different world, you can understand it as a corner of the fairy world."

"A different world? A corner of the fairy world?"

Li Mu said so mistyly that the two of them couldn't understand.

"One of you is a monk and the other is from Tubo, and you are also a Buddhist. So naturally you are not unfamiliar with the four words "Buddha Light Shining"?"

The two of them nodded together, and ordinary people are not unfamiliar with these four words.

"Do you know, how did Buddha light come from?"

Ikkyu raised his hand and replied, "Buddhist believes that the Buddha's light is the light emitted from the Bodhisattva's head wheel, and it is not impossible for great wise and virtuous people. The Buddha's light is a colorful color."

Li Mu nodded and asked again: "Then besides the Buddha's light that you have never seen with your own eyes, what other lights are colorful in your life?"

"What else is there?" Gem thought for a while, suddenly remembered something, and said, "The rainbow that passes by the rain is also colorful!"

Ikyu thought of it, but he was one step late and had to say, "There are colorful glasses, which are also colorful!"

"The color of glass is the color of glass itself, not the color of light, so I won't talk about it here." Li Mu continued to ask the two of them and said, "Do you know, how did the rainbow light come from?"

"Master Huiri said that the rainbow is the dragon sucking water." Ichikyu replied quickly.

"Is that true?" Li Mu smiled faintly, picked up the fragrant tea, took a sip of water, and sprayed a mist on his back with the sunset.

Then I saw a colorful rainbow looming in the mist.

The two of them were shocked and subconsciously exclaimed: "Master can also absorb dragons, and Master can also absorb water?"

“Bad talk.”

Li Mu rolled his eyes and handed Yixiu the teacup. Yixiu took a sip of water and sprayed it out. The mist filled and the rainbow appeared again.

Li Mu asked Yixiu to stand behind Gem and spray water. The mist fell down. It seemed like there was a colorful Buddha light behind Gem's head.

"What's going on!" Both apprentices were confused. If Li Mu was reincarnated by Long, they could barely accept it, but if they were reincarnated by Long, the parties involved could not believe such words. There must be some means here!

"Come on, come in the house." Li Mu led two people into the house and closed the door. The windows in this small courtyard were not glazed, but ordinary window paper. When the doors and windows were closed, the room immediately became dark. Li Mu poked the window paper and a beam of sunlight shone in through the hole.

Li Mu took out something from his arms, which was a prism he made of glass. The beam of sunlight hit the mirror and refracted to the wall beside him.

Ikyu and Gem saw in a daze that a colorful ribbon appeared on the opposite wall!

"Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple..." Gem read out the order of the colorful light in turn, and couldn't help but exclaim loudly: "This shadow is exactly the same as the order of the rainbow!"

"Colorful Buddha Light--" Ikkyu murmured, suddenly feeling something in his mind collapsed. He remembered the Buddhist stories that Huiri told him. He believed it deeply in the past, but now he doubted it.

"Master, what's going on?" Gem asked with a confused look on his face: "Why will there be colorful Buddha lights appearing on the water mist and on the three-edged glass?"
