This sentence cast a layer of doubt in the hearts of everyone present.
What kind of bargaining chip can allow Liu and his son to keep this secret forever?
Lin Yi looked like he suddenly realized something.
"I understand! I didn't expect that you have learned all about human beings' intrigues!"
"Old Lin, what's the matter? Do you understand again?" Wang Qiang stood aside and listened to the mist of Yunshan, unable to make sense of anything at all.
Several experts also looked confused and couldn't figure out what kind of connection there was.
“Since we can’t seek immortality, we naturally have to be practical.
After the Liu family and his son returned to Chang'an from Kunlun, they helped Wang Mang successfully ascend the throne and establish the "New Dynasty". They worshiped Liu Xin as the national counselor and granted the title of Duke Jiaxin. Moreover, Wang Mang also adopted Liu Xin's daughter as the crown prince. The Liu family was suddenly He became a relative of the emperor and the nation below one person and above ten thousand people. "
What Lin Yi described was a well-documented historical content, and several experts around him suddenly realized it.
"So that's it! The Liu family, Jing Jue Kingdom and the 'Xin Dynasty' are tied together. No wonder the father and son are so tight-lipped. Exposing the secrets of Jing Jue Kingdom and the Queen Mother of the West is tantamount to destroying their own future!"
"Oh, the Liu family has become in-laws with the descendants of this Jingjue country. I didn't expect that you, this guy, are still only a month old."
Wang Qiang said in a joking tone.
The snake-eyed Cistanche on the opposite side actually let out a burst of creepy laughter.
It's like grinding your teeth.
"Hahaha, such conditions are not enough to impress the Liu family and his son. I told them that I felt the revelation of the future from the ghost cave. Wang Mang's empire will not last long, and the empire of the Han Dynasty will eventually return to the Liu family. A famous person In the hands of someone with a "showy" temperament."
Hearing this, Mr. Lu exclaimed with surprise:
"So Liu Xin finally changed his name to Liu Xiu because he received your inspiration?"
According to historical records, Liu Xin did change his name to "Liu Xiu" later, which was exactly the same as the name of Liu Xiu who later overthrew Wang Mang's "New Dynasty" rule and established the Eastern Han Dynasty.
However, the person who later ascended the throne was not him.
"Isn't this really a coincidence?"
Mr. Lu felt that his world view and view of history were beginning to waver at this moment.
Professor Yu held his eyes and carefully looked at the magical plant in front of him.
"You are the totem and guardian of Jingjue Country. Why do you give advice to others when you know that your own country is in danger?"
The snake-eyed Cistanche on the opposite side spoke again:
"If you are willing to cooperate, I will also give you some inspiration!"
Unexpectedly, Lin Yi burst out laughing.
"You are said to be fat and you are breathless. After brainwashing others for a long time, do you really think of yourself as a prophet or a god? When Liu and his son came here, it was too late after they found out that they had been deceived. Unfortunately, the deal was already done. There is no room for maneuver.
The only choice is to go along with 'Wang Mang'.
As for the name change, Liu Xin is a master of Confucian classics and is proficient in Yi studies. He has long been sure that your 'New Dynasty' is just a rabbit's tail that cannot grow. He is also sure that this great Han Dynasty will eventually return to the hands of the Liu family. .
It's a pity that although he changed his name, he didn't have this fate! He once wanted to murder Wang Mang and replace him. Unexpectedly, the matter was revealed, so he had to commit suicide and survive.
The only reason why the father and son did not reveal the truth of the whole matter was that they did not want future generations to know that Liu Xiang and Liu Xin, the great masters of Confucian classics and highly respected father and son, were tricked by a plant! "
After Lin Yi finished speaking, the snake-eye cistanche opposite him reacted extremely violently. The branches all over his body began to tremble, and the entire lake was stirred up into waves.
"After Wang Mang established the 'New Dynasty', he conscripted civilians countless times in the name of serving as corvees and sent them all to the Jingjue Kingdom. These innocent lives became the foundation for the continuous growth of the Jingjue Kingdom.
It's just that they didn't live up to expectations and only wanted to expand to the Central Plains, eventually dragging themselves into the quagmire of war that will never be recovered!
You will never have the chance to win the Central Plains in this life, but are you anxious?
No one has made offerings to you for so many years. Are you starving? If fool Sun Bingjun hadn't taken the bait, you might have stayed in this pond forever and turned into a rotten aquatic plant! "
"Bold! How dare you blaspheme the gods! Kill without mercy!"
Snake Eyes Cistanches roared loudly, and two thick branches suddenly shook out from the water, like two octopus tentacles of a giant octopus, attacking towards Lin Yi and the others.
Lin Yi moved and dodged over.
However, two big holes were made under the feet by the thick branches.
"If Liu Xiang, Liu Xin and his son hadn't begged so hard, how could I have let them live? I didn't expect these two villains to go back on their word. If you don't cooperate, then all of you will die here!"
As soon as the strange sound of Snake Eyes Cistanches fell, the ground beneath everyone's feet began to tremble.
The water in the lake in front of me began to concentrate towards the roots in the center, and all the surrounding flowers and plants fell towards the center.
The snake-eye cistanche, which was originally only three people's waist thick, slowly rose from the lake, and its thick roots emerged from the water.
At the end of each root system hangs more than one shriveled corpse.
The further down the root system goes, the more corpses hang, like strings of yams.
"Quick! Go to higher ground!"
Lin Yi stopped shouting, and everyone fled to the palace door to hide.
The mummies wrapped in countless branches seemed to be suddenly given "life" after being lifted out of the water.
Start climbing along the edge of the lake.
"Old Lin, what the hell are these things? Groot?"
Wang Qiang held an engineering shovel in his hand and assumed a fighting posture, and he did not forget to make a few jokes.
"These are the innocent souls who were sacrificed to Snake Eyes Cistanche. They are now just like Sun Bingjun and the others, they are all this guy's puppets."
At this moment, the "Golden Crow" that was still emitting dazzling light in the sky and the "Jade Toad" hidden in the towering cypress trees suddenly slipped from the "sky" and hung above their heads.
Only then did everyone see clearly that this was not the sun or the moon.
These are the two "eyes" of this huge snake-eye cistanche.
Behind them are countless thin and tough branches.
"None of you can leave me alive, you are all my sacrifices!"
Lin Yi picked up the bow and arrow he had snatched from the "living dead" army outside the door. He fired several arrows in succession, but they were all blocked by these branches.
In desperation, he could only pick up the bronze sword and slash at the "puppet" wrapped in branches under his feet several times.
After finally cutting off the branches behind them, these mummies immediately stopped moving.
But the "puppet" that was still moving around him immediately split into countless branches and swallowed the mummy. The branches behind it immediately more than doubled in thickness.
"Damn it, this thing also has resurrection? When the hell will it be cut off?"
Wang Qiang held the last engineering shovel in his hand, and the blade had been curled, but these "mummy puppets" in front of him were still emerging from the lake and attacking them.
