After hearing what Batulu said, Li Zhongyong didn't answer any more. He couldn't explain it to Batulu at all. Moreover, it was indeed difficult to refute what Batulu said. Since it was a divine weapon, why were the two trapped?
in.
"Lao Wu, do you want to go in and find out?" Li Zhongyong looked over again.
Without waiting for the answer, Chen Liqiu spoke first, "Not everyone is interested in the creation of the machine. I will live for the rest of my five kalpas. I am weak and in urgent need of recuperation. Let's go. Go out first and come back later."
"I can still hold on, it doesn't hurt to go down and have a look." He smiled.
"There's nothing interesting to see, and it doesn't work. It's all in vain." Chen Liqiu jumped down.
Batulu followed closely behind. Upon seeing this, Datou hurriedly picked up the two copper rods placed aside, handed them to Li Zhongyong with both hands, and then jumped off the disc with the three of them.
Li Zhongyong had no choice but to put away the two copper rods and walked out of the back hall with everyone.
Although it was pitch black outside the palace, it was less oppressive and depressing inside the palace. Everyone used their body skills to fly southward. After a while, they left the underground city and entered the long forest passage dug by craftsmen.
Staying in a dark environment for a long time and suddenly returning to a brightly lit place can easily cause blindness. Everyone knows this, so when they arrived at the cave entrance, they did not jump out immediately, but stayed briefly to recover and adapt.
He took the opportunity to tell the two of them how he escaped from death. Although he tried to be concise and concise, the matter was too bizarre, and it took him a stick of incense to explain the whole story clearly.
It was already evening when we returned outside through the waterfall, leaving the bulk to escort the gold while I, Batulu, Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu returned to Chang'an first.
Yang Kai and others had been waiting anxiously, and when they saw several people returning together, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They did not expect that the rescue process would go so smoothly, nor did they expect it to be so fast.
When he left, he took away the snacks and fruits in the room, and when he came back, they put the snacks and fruits on the table. This is the treatment that a prince should have. These things will be prepared and replaced every day whether he is in the palace or not.
The four of them sat around the table, and only then did they really relax when they picked up the tea cups, and said, "Second senior brother, third senior brother, thanks to senior brother this time, if he hadn't discovered the mute who escaped, I wouldn't have known what happened to you.
An accident."
Being praised again, Batulu felt a little embarrassed, "Oh, why are you always talking about these things? It makes me look like an outsider.
"
"Lao Wu is right, thanks to you this time." Li Zhongyong said.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about other things." Batulu waved his hands repeatedly.
"Senior Brother, are you tired?" he asked casually.
"You're not tired, what's wrong?" Batulu asked back.
He said, "Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother survived the catastrophe, so they should have a good celebration. If you are not tired, just ask the servants in the mansion to kill the pig, and we will cook the meat for dinner tonight."
Batulu didn't know he was trying to get rid of him. Hearing the words, he went out to kill the pig.
After Batulu left, he raised his head and looked at Li Zhongyong, "Second senior brother, can that great wheel of reincarnation really reverse the universe and travel through the past and present?"
"It should be possible, but it's just that it's too old and the copper rod that stores spiritual energy has expired," Li Zhongyong said. "I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to activate the Great Reincarnation Disk."
"Second Senior Brother, it has nothing to do with the age. The reason why the Great Reincarnation Disk cannot be activated is because one of the copper rods is fake." He said in a low voice. The reason why he kept Batulu away was because he was worried that Batulu would know that the Great Reincarnation Disk could not be activated. There is still a possibility that the reincarnation disk will be activated. This guy has a simple mind. If he accidentally lets it slip, it will be known to the world.
Hearing the words, Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu frowned at the same time. Chen Liqiu asked casually, "How do you know?"
Then he briefly told the story of meeting the Japanese pirates in Shenzhou and grabbing a copper rod from the Japanese pirates, and then continued, "At that time, we only knew that the copper rod could hurt the earthly branches, but we did not know that it was the Great Samsara Disk." In part, this thing was brought over by Japanese pirates from Japan. The reason why they have this thing is undoubtedly because Xu Fu secretly changed it and took it away when he set out."
After saying that, Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu looked at each other. Previously, they only thought that the spiritual energy stored in the copper rods was insufficient, which caused the Great Reincarnation Disk to be unable to activate. They never thought that one of the copper rods turned out to be fake.
He said again, "Second Senior Brother, this copper rod is in Yang Kai's hand right now. I will ask him to hand it over to you later. However, you must be careful when using the Great Reincarnation Disk. You must know that God's will cannot be violated. Anything that goes against Yin and Yang may be punished by God
Punishment.”
Li Zhongyong nodded slowly, "What you said makes sense. In fact, the reason why we want to use the Great Reincarnation Disk to go back to the past is to save your life. Now that you are alive and well, we can't use the Great Reincarnation Disk."
He picked up the teapot and refilled tea for Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu, then put down the teapot and asked casually, "Where did that big reincarnation disk come from?"
"The specific origin is unknown. I only know that it is an ancient artifact made of black iron from heaven." Li Zhongyong said.
After Li Zhongyong finished speaking, Chen Liqiu said, "It is possible that this Great Samsara Disk can really go back and forth. The reason why Xu Fu replaced one of the copper pillars back then was probably because he was worried that after he escaped, Qin Shihuang would use the Great Samsara Disk in anger. , sending people back to the past would be detrimental to him."
"It's possible," he nodded. "I didn't expect that after more than a thousand years, the Japanese pirates would bring this copper rod back to China."
Li Zhongyong said, "Give me the copper pillar in Yang Kai's hand, and I will study it carefully. Of course, it is best not to use it, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of the worst, in case something serious happens." If something goes wrong, we can also try to use the Great Reincarnation to go back to the past and try to remedy the situation.”
"Okay." nodded.
After Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu drank tea and began to eat snacks and fruits on the table, they also told the story about Li Maozhen and Li Bao teaming up to force the palace, as well as Qingyang being captured by Li Maozhen and the current bad situation of the Tang Dynasty, including himself. I want to raise rice from the Western Regions.
After saying this, Li Zhongyong said, "Qingyang is an important border town, guarding the chokepoint of the westward and eastward movement. If you want to transfer food from the Western Regions, you must first regain Qingyang."
"I know," he said, "the war in the southeast is tense right now, and Master Zhang has no time to distract himself, and he can't give me troops, so I went to Shuzhou a few days ago and met with General Qin and others.
At this time, Shuzhou's 20,000 troops are already on their way."
"Are you going to personally lead the troops to attack Qingyang?" Chen Liqiu asked casually.
"Yes," nodded, "but before that I have to go to Gupo Mountain in Lingnan. Gupo Mountain is where one of the earthly branches is located. The main force of Japanese pirates is gathered in that area at this time. I hate Japanese pirates deeply. There are so many Japanese pirates.
It's rare that we get together. I'm going to move reinforcements to the Shaolin Temple. Please forgive me.
The purple energy masters from Lin Temple came out to help us and rushed to Gupo Mountain with us to wipe out all the Japanese pirates there. If things go smoothly enough, the Japanese pirates will not be completely wiped out after this battle, and they will no longer have the strength to cause trouble."
After finishing speaking, Chen Liqiu said, "Time is too tight. If it is true that the main force of the Japanese pirates is there, as you said, the battle at Gupo Mountain will be extremely fierce and last for a long time. You will not be able to come back in time to collect it."
The army marched westward."
"It should be enough time." He said.
Li Zhongyong said, "You are in urgent need of recuperation now and you can't be too tired. Let's do this. You take people to Lingnan and Qingyang, and Lao San and I will help you fight."
After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "That's okay. You lead the troops to the west first. After the battle at Gupo Mountain is over, I will go and meet you."
"You don't need to be there, the second child and I are enough." Chen Liqiu said lightly.
"It's not that I don't believe you and Second Senior Brother," he said, "but it's just that we managed to get here today. Although the current situation in Datang is still not optimistic, I have already seen the dawn of dawn. When the situation stabilizes, I will
We are ready to retreat bravely, I don’t want any of us to have any accidents during this period.”
Hearing the words, Chen Liqiu curled his lips and smiled and said, "The dawn of dawn? You are too optimistic. You are retreating bravely. Believe it or not, you can't retreat."
"It should be possible," he then told the two of them about the great victory in Luoyang and Long Haotian's loss of money and disaster relief, and then said, "As long as the main force of the Japanese pirates can be annihilated in the battle at Gupo Mountain, we can capture Qingyang and open up the whole world."
With the passage of grain transportation from the Western Regions, the pressure on the imperial court will not be so great."
After saying this, Chen Liqiu once again showed a questioning look, but before he could speak, Li Zhongyong stopped him with his eyes and said, "As the saying goes, haste makes waste. The situation in the Tang Dynasty was not created in a day or two.
Yes, it is difficult to eradicate the change overnight. We know you are under a lot of pressure, but don't act too hastily. You should proceed step by step and proceed steadily."
After Li Zhongyong finished speaking, Chen Liqiu said, "I won't hide the truth from you. When we were trapped in the Great Reincarnation Disk, we thought we were going to die. We both thought a lot at that time. No one knows what will happen tomorrow or the accident."
If we come first, don’t try to save all of us. As the saying goes, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is in heaven. If one day we really leave first, don’t be too sad..."
