Chaos five-needle pine took root in Xianyang and was born through the fate of the Qin Dynasty.
Although it has only been planted for a few years now, it has grown into a majestic ancient tree standing in the flower house.
The trunk of the tree is so straight that it is difficult for several people to hold hands and hug it.
The crown of the tree spreads like a canopy, lush and evergreen all year round.
In particular, the ancient qi machines gathered on the trees are like waterfalls hanging in the air, rushing and flowing around the trees.
If you are a little farther away, you can only see a hazy mist surrounding it, which looks like mountains.
At this time, Zhao Huaizhong took out the purple jade according to Qilin's suggestion, used magic power to draw out a dense purple gas from it, and poured it on the tree.
The vitality of heaven and earth hanging around the five-needle pine suddenly boiled, and dense natural textures appeared on the tree scales, which began to actively absorb the energy of purple jade.
The tree trunk gradually emits a halo of light, which is extremely magical.
Soon, the purple jade in Zhao Huaizhong's hand was exhausted, but the five-needle pine showed no further changes.
Qilin's eyes widened: "The breath of a purple jade is not enough for this spiritual root to absorb."
Zhao Huaizhong: "Isn't that good? You spit out another piece of purple jade to help the five-needle pine grow."
Qilin said hello, raised its hoof and approached, ready to swallow the purple air to nourish the five-needle pine.
Zhao Huaizhong narrowed his eyes and agreed so happily: "Wait a minute, what benefits can you get from helping Wu Zhen Song?"
Qilin responded: "The King of Humans doesn't know something. As long as the innate spiritual roots and the auspicious attributes of our spiritual beasts can be exchanged with their qi, we can benefit from both."
"That is to say, if you use purple energy to push the five-needle pine to grow, you will also grow as a result."
Qilin's big hoof stepped lightly on the ground and said excitedly: "I will exchange the aura of the innate spiritual root with me, and what I will get will be the feedback of the purest and ancient innate spiritual energy in the world.
This spiritual root has now grown to the point where it can absorb the energy of the innate Taoist source.
I exchanged breaths with him, and I am afraid that I will be able to break through the realm that I have not broken through for thousands of years, and then I will be able to escape from the shackles of you, the human king."
"..."
Qilin's voice suddenly paused, and he accidentally told the truth about wanting to escape.
It peeked with its big eyes, and happened to see Zhao Huaizhong looking at him with a joking look on his face.
Qilin added tactfully: "But Human King, you have the five-needle pine here, so I am not going to leave. As the Human King said before, I will occasionally go back to where I live to inhale purple energy, and then come back to Daqin."
.
In addition, please ask the king to issue an edict to pardon me and make me a beast of the state of Qin, so that I can share in the destiny of the state of Qin."
You are so beautiful... Zhao Huaizhong rolled his eyes.
At first glance, this Qilin has never experienced any beating from society and is very whimsical.
Zhao Huaizhong teased: "I have changed my mind, otherwise you should leave."
Qilin said in shock: "Why did the Human King suddenly drive me away?"
Zhao Huaizhong: "As you said, the five-needle pine can absorb the purest Tao source energy in the world, so why do I need you?"
Qilin said anxiously: "Although I am not as strong as the five-needle pine, the purple energy I breathe can help the king improve the national destiny and make the Qin Dynasty stronger. I can also use it to water the five-needle pine and promote its rapid growth."
Mu Yangjing couldn't help laughing on the side, and raised her white chin with a smile.
The Qilin in front of him looked like a migrant worker desperately trying to find a job, trying hard to introduce his strengths.
Zhao Huaizhong couldn't bear to bully the honest boy: "I will allow you to stay temporarily. You have to behave well."
After speaking, Qilin reached out and quickly lowered his head so that he could touch his head more easily.
"Do you know what is so special about this tree?"
Qilin said: "The Chaos Five-needle Pine has never been born with immortal roots, so I don't know what kind of magic it has, but it must be extraordinary. Don't worry, the king. I will breathe out purple energy to water it. It won't take long for this tree to be able to grow."
There is a change.”
"Then you start working, watering the trees with purple gas."
Zhao Huaizhong turned around and walked into the house. Mu Yangjing followed behind him with a flexible waist and swaying hips.
Qilin happily circled around the five-needle pine, then exhaled purple energy and exchanged energy with the five-needle pine.

In early June, Wang Jian began to attack Zhao.
He avoided Qiuyang, where Li Mu could not garrison, and urged his son Wang Bi to attack other border towns in the Zhao Kingdom. The purpose was to make Qiuyang an isolated city with no help from the front or rear, and force Li Mu to leave the city for a fierce battle.
The main forces of both sides seemed to be competing for patience. The city of Qiuyang was quiet, but the Qin army outside the city was surrounding but not fighting, and was training its troops and horses every day.
However, Li Mu did not send troops, and the news reached Zhao Qian's ears.
But he couldn't sit still. The reason was that except for Wang Jian and the secret Qin army led by Yang Ruihe, the Zhao people were completely unable to suppress them.
Zhao Jun sent General Sima Shang to stop Yang Ruihe.
He commanded 40,000 forbidden troops to protect Handan, but they were still defeated by the Miwen Qin army. More than 13,000 were killed, more than 10,000 were seriously injured, and the remaining 20,000 were routed to Nuo'an City in the Zhao Kingdom.
Zhao Qian was extremely anxious and issued another edict urging Li Mu to send troops to resolve the crisis in Handan.
The person from Zhao who came to Qiuyang to deliver the edict was Zhao Cong, who was from the Zhao clan. He was about fifty years old, thin and had an obvious black mole on his face.
Zhao Cong also has the ability to lead troops.
When he saw Li Mu receiving Zhao Qian's edict, he immediately said: "Handan is in danger. If the general does not come back to help, the king will be in danger, and I, Zhao, will be in danger."
Li Mu had a thorough understanding of the enemy's situation and remained unmoved, saying: "The enemy attacks and I rescue them. This is to control others, which is taboo for military strategists."
Zhao Cong said: "But if the general doesn't save me, what good strategy can I use to defeat the enemy? Time is not waiting for me."
Then he lowered his voice: "What your Majesty means is the city of Qiuyang over here... Why don't we abandon it and protect Handan?"
In mid-June, Yang Ruihe's troops were less than 800 miles away from Handan.
There are a total of sixteen cities blocking them in front of them. If they can break through them all, they can reach Handan City.
At this time, it had been two months since the Qin army entered the Zhao territory, and the sharpness of their troops had not diminished at all.
In the past two months, the food and grass needed by their team and the wounded in the battle were transported back and forth by black bird air, loaded in small gourds, and any shortages were replenished.
Therefore, when the main force of the Zhao army was restrained by Wang Jian on the border, this secret Qin army penetrated into the Zhao territory for two months. Not only did the number of troops not decrease, but there were 5,000 more soldiers.
Food and grass are also abundant.
The whole team became more and more energetic the more they played.
At this moment, the Qin army had vaguely seen the hope of attacking Handan City, and they were filled with murderous intent.
June 12th.
heavy rain.
The 35,000-strong Qin army encountered Sima Shang's reorganized force and encountered a second blockade.
The two sides met in the rain and fought fiercely.
It started in the afternoon and continued until dusk.
In the middle of the fierce battle, another group of Zhao troops suddenly rushed out from the darkening rain.
It was a cavalry group, with men and horses similar to those of Yang Ruihe.
In the pouring rain, Li Mu was wearing a raincoat, sitting high on his horse, and leading his troops like a hunting knife, breaking through the rain curtain to cover up the killing.
He finally obeyed the imperial edict and led his army to relieve the siege of Handan.
When Yang Ruihe saw Li Mu, he was not surprised but overjoyed, and said in a loud voice: "General Li is here to stop our troops. I wonder who will be stationed in your Zhaoren border city?"
The people of Zhao are like a shabby house, with wind leaking from all sides, relying only on the support of the general to keep out the wind and rain."
Yang Ruihe waved his hand amidst the laughter.
The Qin army under his command showed no fear when faced with Li Mu's surprise attack. An old soldier of the Qin army showed a cruel smile and tightened his weapons. The military formation changed, and half of the troops immediately separated and actually rushed towards Li Mu.
Department.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides were fighting together.
There were shouts of killing, the roar of war horses, blood and rain mixed together, mud and flesh splashing.
