Li Xiang made a bet with Chi Li, the Witch King. As long as he could bring back the ancient insect arts from the Twelve Cave and complete the altar of soldiers, gods and monsters, he would bring Raojiang to support him in restoring the Tang Dynasty.
If he can't bring back the ancient insect technique...
There is a ban on the Twelve Cave, and only people are allowed to enter but not to leave.
At that time, the fresh ginseng was from Twelve Cave. Under the pressure of Yuan Tiangang, the master of Dadong had no choice but to send it to the Tang Dynasty to help the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty seal the secret of the Longquan treasure.
She was supposed to protect the Holy Boy of Raojiang, the only one in the world who knew the map of the Longquan treasure, and wait for Li Xingyun, who was carrying the Longquan sword, to open the treasure.
But she unexpectedly met Chi Li. Obsessed with love, she left the place where the Holy Child slept and married Chi Li. This episode was used by Yuan Tiangang and became the key to his plot to seize the altar of soldiers, gods and monsters.
Li Xiang stayed in Twelve Cave, what impact would that have on him.
After thinking about it, he felt that no matter how things turned out, it would have no impact on him. The Witch King readily agreed to the bet with Li Xiang. For this reason, he also told Li Xiang the route to Twelve Cave and told him how to avoid Luohua Cave. The Girl in the Luohua Cave.
】
Fortunately, he kindly told Li Xiang a clue.
"Before you came, there was another person who entered the Twelve Cave. I know him. Like me, he is a delinquent captain, Uncle Tianli Xingyang."
'Uncle Yang entered the Twelve Cave? Is it the commander's arrangement? It turns out that he has arrived a long time ago. Even if I don't come, the Soldier God and Monster Altar will be born at the appropriate time. '
As soon as he heard that Uncle Yang had entered the Twelve Cave, Li Xiang immediately realized that this must be the handiwork of the marshal. No one except the marshal could force Uncle Yang to touch him.
With Uncle Yang here, he would be more confident.
Li Xiang received the supplies from the Witch King, but he declined the Wu King Chi Li's attentive suggestion to send a guide.
He knew better than the Witch King how to enter the Twelve Cave.
Sixteen years ago, Yuan Tiangang used the Longquan treasure as a lure to lure the real Qi King Li Maozhen into the Twelve Cave to find a way to open the Longquan treasure box.
As a result, his younger sister, the Empress Huanyinfang, struggled to support the Qi Kingdom on her own.
Without the support of Qi Wang Li Maozhen, the empress had limited energy alone. She had to run the Huanyin Workshop, preside over the state affairs of Qi State, and be wary of the Jin State and the Later Liang Dynasty, which were eyeing the outside world.
The empress was left in dire straits, which caused the originally prosperous Qi Kingdom to plummet, and people's livelihood was exhausted, making Qi Kingdom the weakest among the three kingdoms.
Li Maozhen was able to enter the Twelve Cave, which was so secretive that even the locals in Raojiang didn't know where it was, because Yuan Tiangang quietly helped. Only Yuan Tiangang has the strength to divine and calculate the location of Twelve Cave.
Since Hu Xiuwu introduced Li Xiang to see the old events in Raojiang, he naturally provided Li Xiang with the map of Raojiang.
After crossing the single-plank bridge and entering Twelve Cave Ridge, everything went smoothly.
He was successfully captured by Li Maozhen, who was living in seclusion in Twelve Cave Mountains.
Li Xiang, who was only in the middle of the Heaven Rank, could sneak into the territory of a group of Grand Master Gu Masters of the Heaven Rank without being discovered.
Li Maozhen captured Li Xiang and saw him dressed in Central Plains clothes. He was ecstatic and asked him about the situation in Qi and the situation in the world.
It turned out that a few months ago, when Uncle Yang came to live in seclusion with a bad handwriting, he tentatively asked Uncle Yang how the situation in the world was.
It's just that Uncle Yang had been reminded by Hu Xiuwu before he came, and he didn't dare to tell the truth. He was worried that Li Maozhen would be unfavorable to Li Xingyun. In addition, the owner of the Second Cave, Li Suo, was trying to smooth things over, saying that after entering the Twelve Cave, he had nothing to do with the outside world. Don't pry into the outside world anymore, it will only increase your worries.
In the past few days, Li Maozhen has mastered the art of gu and has learned a lot of gu. He is confident in solving the mystery of the Longquan treasure box and is thinking of returning to the Central Plains.
At this time, he was afraid of attracting the attention of other people in Twelve Cave and hindering his escape plan, so Li Maozhen pretended to be taught and didn't ask any more questions.
After catching Li Xiang this time, he did not have such a burden.
Unlike Uncle Yang, Li Xiang would protect Li Xingyun's information. He immediately revealed all the information about Li Xingyun, especially focusing on the relationship between Longquan Sword and Longquan Treasure, as well as the power of Yin soldiers.
After hearing the news that Longquan Sword had come out, Li Maozhen's expression changed drastically, his eyes were dark and uncertain, and murderous intent loomed.
He had no intention of letting Li Xiang go. If other cave owners knew that he was still paying attention to outside affairs, they would definitely imprison him to prevent him from leaving and leaking the location of the Twelve Cave.
However, before Li Maozhen was about to take action, Li Xiang blurted out: "I am a subordinate of the Witch King of Ten Thousand Poison Cave. I came to Twelve Cave to seek the ancient insect technique. If you let me go, the Witch King will definitely repay you handsomely."
"Witch King of Ten Thousand Poison Cave?"
Li Maozhen was moved. Wan Du Ku ruled the Rao territory and had countless Gu masters under his command. In the past, during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, they all became a nuisance. Their strength should not be underestimated.
In addition, Raojiang is in the southwest and Qi is in the northwest. There are Tubo and Shu between the two places. There is no conflict of interest in the short term, so they are suitable for forming allies.
Li Maozhen was also a virtuous king who was outstanding in his talents. Otherwise, among the kings in the world, only he and Jin Wang Li Keyong were plotted by Yuan Tiangang and have always been in his mind.
However, during this delay, there was movement behind Li Maozhen, and other people from Twelve Dong came to investigate the situation.
"I'll go find the Witch King!"
Li Maozhen made a prompt decision, abandoned Li Xiang, attracted Twelve Dong's attention, and disappeared on the road where Li Xiang came.
Phew~
Cold sweat dripped from his chin to his chest. Li Xiang relaxed his tension and breathed a sigh of relief. He had passed the first level.
Li Xiang recognized Li Maozhen's identity, but did not call him King Qi to avoid arousing his suspicion, and did not dare to reveal his identity.
Li Xingyun is a rare treasure, and as a prince born from a concubine, he is not without value.
"Nebula! Why are you here!"
Li Xiang knew what was going on.
As expected, the person who scared away Li Maozhen was none other than Uncle Yang.
Li Xiang said calmly: "I am not Li Xingyun, I am Li Xiang, the concubine of Zhaozong."
Uncle Yang was stunned, but looking at Li Xiang's resolute face, he still expressed nostalgia: "You two brothers look really alike."
Li Xiang seized the time: "I was ordered by the commander to come to obtain the Twelve Cave Gu Technique."
Uncle Yang was not surprised, nodded, and took out a new copying secret book from his chest: "I know, this is the manuscript I copied during this period, please tell the commander, Twelve Cave is indeed as the commander expected, I am very interested in the several kinds of Gu insects he provided. Especially the Zerg Centipede."
"Most of the Twelve Cave Masters are in seclusion for research. King Qi has been wandering around the Twelve Cave Ridge these days. The Second Cave Master, Li Suo, suspected that he had thoughts of leaving Twelve Cave Mountains. He ordered me to call him. I will supervise King Qi."
"Now that King Qi has left as expected, Twelve Cave Ridge is unattended. You should take the opportunity to leave with the manuscript."
Gu insect? The commander has other plans.
Bad people have strict discipline and do not allow bad people to ask about tasks that are not performed by him. Li Xiang recorded this information in his heart, but showed no expression on his face and took the manuscript from Uncle Yang with a stern expression.
Uncle Yang looked at Li Xiang's face that resembled Li Xingyun. After hesitating for a moment, he still said: "If you can meet Li Xingyun, please send a message for me and ask him to take good care of himself."
Li Xiang paused: "Okay."
