Chapter 380 Offensive and defensive dislocation (two in one)
With such huge changes happening around them, the battle between the two naturally cannot continue.
After exchanging moves with each other, they each retreated. Chi Yao looked at the earth-shaking scene in the distance and said with emotion: "Such a power of God can be accurately calculated... Is Li Chunfeng still a human?"
Yes, although he has never appeared in person, Li Chunfeng is a key clue throughout the entire plot.
He was a famous warlock in the early Tang Dynasty and a close friend of Yuan Tiangang. However, the two had differences over the issue of whether the Li Tang royal family should continue forever.
Li Chunfeng believed that the law of heaven was cyclical, and there was no eternal dynasty. Every drink and peck was destiny, so just let nature take its course. However, Yuan Tiangang disagreed. He felt that man was determined to defeat heaven, and destiny was meant to be broken.
So the friends parted ways.
But despite this, whether it is the Longquan treasure, the Seven Star Secrets, or the strange book left to Li Xingyun - Yi Si Zhan, all of these show that although Li Chunfeng has disappeared long ago, he is still secretly playing chess with Yuan Tiangang
.
Even their confrontation included Yuan Tiangang's final outcome.
It seemed that it had been a long time since he had heard the name of this old friend from other people. Yuan Tiangang was in a trance for a moment, as if he saw that man in white clothes and white hair, with a bright and graceful appearance in front of him again.
"You also know Li Chunfeng?"
After calming down, Yuan Tiangang asked.
"I know a little bit. Li Xingyun was able to calculate the earthquake because of the Yi Si Zhan he left behind, right?"
Chi Yao replied.
Earthquakes, even in modern times with highly developed science and technology, can measure tens of thousands of data as reference, but no one can accurately predict it. Li Chunfeng wrote a book, Li Xingyun read it, and then just watched it at night
With a little astrology, you can calculate it so many days in advance.
If this doesn’t count as miraculous, then what does?
It is also said that it was jointly made by Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, and was used to predict prosperity and chaos in future generations.
Because the prophecies contained in it were too accurate and had too many believers, after the Tang Dynasty, it was listed as a banned book by the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties and was not allowed to be disseminated.
Speaking of which, it seems that the fall of the Tang Dynasty was predicted in the Tuibei Tu, which caused the two close friends to break up.
"Yi Si Zhan...hehe..."
Yuan Tiangang smiled hoarsely. After seeing how difficult Chi Yao was, he was no longer prepared to continue the stalemate here.
But Yuan Tiangang wants to leave now, and it depends on whether Chi Yao is willing.
Now that the offense and defense were in different positions, it was Chi Yao who followed him closely, and after personally exploring Yuan Tiangang's background, his behavior became more and more wanton.
"Lao Yuan, I know that everything you have done is to make Li Xingyun a qualified emperor, but when things have developed to this point, do you know where you went wrong?"
Yuan Tiangang glanced at him and said nothing. Over the years, no one has dared to say that he had done anything wrong to his face. This feeling seemed a bit novel.
"Your mistake is that you should not have left him to Uncle Yang to raise him since he was a child."
Of course, Yuan Tiangang's little moves could not escape Chi Yao's eyes. He continued, "Perhaps you value his low-level strength that is not eye-catching? Or maybe it is his medical skills that are barely considered superior?"
Without waiting for the other party to answer, Chi Yao shook his head: "But even if all these things are added up, it will not cause more trouble than his reclusive character. Do you want to cultivate a person who will rejuvenate the Tang Dynasty?" Emperor, then we must follow the emperor’s education model since childhood and hand him over to a hermit..."
He didn't finish the last half of the sentence, but the meaning was self-evident. From the beginning, Yuan Tiangang made the wrong choice in this matter.
Naturally, Yuan Tiangang couldn't accept this kind of denial from the root, so he retorted: "If the Tang Dynasty wants to revive, what it needs is not an ordinary emperor, but someone who can re-establish the country."
The implication is that ordinary imperial education cannot teach such talented people.
"But the problem is... Li Xingyun now doesn't show any great talent or strategy, right?"
Chi Yao spread his hands and looked helpless, "I only saw in him the benevolence of a doctor and the indifferent ambition of not being greedy for power. Although these are very good qualities, if he is an ordinary person, I would even praise you for raising them well, but the problem is that they are not at all in line with the status of an emperor!"
Does an emperor need a benevolent heart?
It cannot be said that it is not necessary at all, but it is indeed not that important. Especially for an emperor who wants to end troubled times, being too kind is sometimes not a good thing.
And what is the best comment an emperor can make on his people?
Love the people like a son.
In other words, treating the common people as sons is enough to be praised.
So how did fathers get along with their sons in the feudal era?
The father is the guide for the son, so you only need to rule him, and you don't need to worry about his reaction.
Then let’s talk about this indifferent heart that is not greedy for power.
A qualified emperor really needs to know how to decentralize power, otherwise sooner or later he will tire himself to death like Qin Shihuang or Zhuge Liang.
But being willing to decentralize power does not mean that he cannot care about the ownership of power.
If the emperor cannot hold power in his hands, then it is nothing new for powerful ministers to appear one after another and evade the royal family.
And this is another source of trouble.
So from these two points of view, apart from his own royal bloodline, Li Xingyun does not have any characteristics that are very suitable for the position of emperor.
However, in the land of China, the least important thing is blood.
Ever since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted out the ear-shattering sentence "Princes, princes, generals, ministers, and prime ministers, do you have the right kind?", this sentence has been deeply rooted in the hearts of every Chinese people who have heard of it.
The purpose of bloodline is only to increase one's worth after success, and to deceive those who have not read the book, making them think that the royal bloodline is noble and that the monarchy is given by heaven, nothing more.
For example, after the Li and Tang royal families unified the world, they said that their ancestors were Lao Tzu, a Taoist sage from the Spring and Autumn Period...
In the eyes of knowledgeable people, isn’t this just a matter of random speculation?
But why didn't anyone try to expose it?
For one thing, the Li family has already won. In the game of competing for the world, the winner takes all, so naturally others can only respond to whatever they say. If they don't accept it, then they will die.
Secondly, this thing is just to deceive the uneducated people at the bottom. Anyone who has read the book will not believe it, so naturally they are too lazy to refute it.
His words immediately silenced Yuan Tiangang.
After a long time, Yuan Tiangang said in a very cold voice: "I have my own sense of proportion."
"Pfft~"
Chi Yao even laughed unabashedly, and then continued in Yuan Tiangang's angry eyes, "Your so-called sense of propriety, could it be that you want to use your own death to kill Li Xingyun in the Longquan treasure?"
Forced into a dead end, he has to face that violent era, right? No way, right? A handsome and bad man, who has been bullying the world for three hundred years, but in the end he has to resort to death to get things done? "
Bang!
There is no doubt that his yin and yang aura successfully hit Yuan Tiangang's pain point.
Not only did he guess Yuan Tiangang's thoughts, but he also made his act of self-sacrifice, which should have been very tragic, seem worthless.
This made Yuan Tiangang unable to remain calm any longer, so he slapped him hard from the air.
But since Chi Yao could say these words, he was naturally prepared to make the other party angry. If there was a fight, it wasn't like he had never fought before, so who was afraid of whom?
After a fight between the rabbit and the falcon, Yuan Tiangang calmed down again. He stared into Chi Yao's eyes: "What is the purpose of telling me this?"
After being seen through his own thoughts, even Yuan Tiangang was confused for a moment, so he chose to take action against Chi Yao.
But he is Yuan Tiangang after all. After losing control for a moment, he quickly returned to reason. Furthermore, because Chi Yao's appearance changed Li Maozhen's fate, his decision was slightly different from the original timeline.
More importantly, in this world where status is often determined by force, a person as strong as Chi Yao should not be blind and see through, but to say it so carelessly in front of him must be
Don't have any plans.
After thinking about this clearly, Yuan Tiangang gave up his desire to continue taking action and decided to communicate in another way.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Chi Yao can stop the angry Yuan Tiangang, otherwise, there will be no consequences the moment he angers the other party.
"That's right,"
Seeing that the other party calmed down, Chi Yao chuckled twice, and before Yuan Tiangang regained his anger, he said, "With my own death as the layout, the pattern has indeed been opened. Your loyalty to the Li Tang Dynasty can be felt day and night.
But I personally think it would be a pity if you died like this."
"Feel sorry for me?"
Yuan Tiangang never expected that he would hear such an answer from Chi Yao. After a moment of silence, he replied, "That's not necessary, I am handsome..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Chi Yao add: "After all, I haven't gotten the formula for the elixir from you, and you should have accumulated a lot of good things in the past three hundred years, right? That's it.
He was taken away without saying a word, what a big loss!"
Yuan Tiangang: "..."
The feeling of emotion that just arose in him suddenly disappeared without a trace. If it weren't for the fact that the winner couldn't be determined in a short period of time, he would have grabbed Chi Yao and beat him up. Fortunately, he had just thought that he had met someone.
A close friend!
Give him back his touch, you bastard!
Seeing that Yuan Tiangang seemed to be suddenly stunned, Chi Yao burst out laughing. Even the cracking earth and the rolling boulders and trees around him seemed to be full of joy.
Yuan Tiangang took a deep breath, regained his composure, and continued to use Qinggong to move forward without saying a word.
In a short period of time, he didn't want to talk to Chi Yao anymore.
…
…
the other side.
Li Maozhen and the fake Li Xingyun were very fast, and it didn't take long to get behind Li Xingyun and his party.
Of course, this is also because Li Xingyun and others deliberately slowed down the pace to seduce.
After all, his plan was to use the complex terrain here to maximize the power of the earthquake, so it was necessary to let the enemy penetrate deep into it.
Li Maozhen may not be ignorant of their thoughts, but his strong self-confidence still drives him to step into them step by step.
Finally, near a swamp, Li Xingyun stopped, turned around and shouted: "Come out, Li Maozhen, I have discovered you a long time ago!"
Although I don't know whether he was shouting or if he really had some special method, Li Maozhen, who was full of confidence in himself, did not choose to hide his head and tail, but walked out openly.
He looked around. Although his own numbers were at an absolute disadvantage, he remained calm and composed: "Is this where the Longquan treasure is? Or, have you prepared any surprises for me?"
Li Maozhen cast his gaze on the Holy Child and successfully made the child run away and hide behind Li Xingyun.
"snort!"
Too much talk leads to mistakes, so Li Xingyun didn't talk nonsense to him, pulled out a temporary Qingfeng sword and attacked him.
As soon as he moved, Ji Ruxue, Hou Qing, Han Ba and others also took action. Only the Holy Child, who had no force value, ran away and hid.
Seeing this, Li Maozhen threw the Longquan Sword behind her back to the fake Li Xingyun: "Go ahead and let me see which one of you two is the real one!"
The fake Li Xingyun who received the Longquan Sword was trembling with excitement. He used the Tiangang Jue, waved the broad sword in his hand, and struck directly at Li Xingyun!
As for Li Maozhen, the two Corpse Ancestors fought together and firmly had the upper hand. If he hadn't been wary of the explosive paper flowers in the hands of Corpse Ancestor Hanba, his advantage would have been even greater.
However, Li Xingyun and the others had no intention of winning by relying on their own force. During the battle, they had been guiding Li Maozhen towards the swamp area, intentionally or unintentionally.
Under this subtle pull, when Li Maozhen finally turned his back to the swamp, Hanba suddenly threw out all the exploding paper flowers in his hand.
【Tiannu scatters flowers】!
All of a sudden, hundreds of flowers were in full bloom, just like all kinds of species competing for spring.
This extreme beauty also contains a terrifying crisis.
Although Li Maozhen has profound skills, after all, there is still a big gap between Li Maozhen and Liang Shuai who are truly inexhaustible. Therefore, he did not choose to resist forcefully, but naturally flew back.
However, after he slid backwards for a long distance, he noticed something was wrong as soon as he landed.
The ground is too soft!
My feet are sinking deeper and deeper.
Seeing that Li Maozhen fell into the swamp as he wished, Li Xingyun and others breathed a sigh of relief. As for the fake Li Xingyun?
He has been restrained by Li Xingyun and Ji Ruxue.
"Is this the surprise you prepared for me? It's kind of interesting."
Although Li Maozhen was in jail, he did not panic at all, as if the person who was sinking slowly was not him.
"Huh, that's just the first appetizer."
Li Xingyun took back the Longquan Sword again, and then raised his voice and asked, "Do you feel that your inner breath is not flowing smoothly now?"
