At this time, Li Yi was already immersed in a dream.
He slowly ascended from the ruins of Taiping and returned to Taiping City above. He was in the middle of the streets of an ancient city, with people coming and going around him.
He walked slowly through Xiao Qiao's flowing street and stood looking at the pavilion surrounded by peach blossoms opposite.
There was an old man standing in the pavilion. The old man had gray hair and looked like a man about to be buried, but he smiled very kindly.
The old man waved to him.
He was at a loss and bowed in return.
The old man suddenly jumped up, landed next to him, grabbed his arm, and jumped up again.
When he opened his eyes again, he had reached the pavilion opposite.
The old man sat down in the pavilion and extended his hand to motion for him to sit down too.
He was not polite and sat down.
Only then did he clearly see the pattern on the table in front of him, but it was not appropriate to say it was a pattern, because it was just a carved checkerboard.
The old man pushed a box of black chips towards him and motioned for him to go first.
He was not polite. He had learned a little bit from Mr. Su in his life. Although he was not proficient in it, he knew its principles.
He dropped a piece, but the old man spoke. "I knew you would come, so I was prepared in advance."
"Before?" He looked at the old man's move, but his face was full of doubts.
The old man smiled and said. "Yes, only you can enter this place. It has been more than three hundred years, and it has finally lived up to its promise."
"More than three hundred years ago, who is your senior?"
"In the past, the Taiping Sword Immortal who guarded Taiping City and hanged himself deep in the dungeon was also called Yang Kuo."
"Taiping Sword Immortal!"
Li Yi was shocked. He didn't expect that he would be a person from three hundred years ago. But he thought about it. Said with a wry smile. "I had a misunderstanding before. When I was traveling, I heard someone say that Xu Yinzhen, the Imperial Master of Liangshu, lived for more than three hundred years. I heard that it was him for more than three hundred years. Don't you think that the senior is still alive?"
"No, I'm dead."
"Dead! Am I dreaming? Or is this an illusion created by seniors?"
"Yes, it is an illusion, but this is what I give you, and there is only so much."
"By the way, what is this place?"
"Curious? Doesn't it look very prosperous?"
"Well, there are many things on the streets that I have never seen in the north of Western Chu. Especially the houses and some statues, like the mansions I saw in the south, are probably no worse than those in Nanmu Country."
"Hahahaha... Actually, this is the Taiping City in the past."
"But why does it look like the ruins are much bigger than now?"
"It has been more than three hundred years and it has been completely destroyed. What you see outside are just some wreckage."
Li Yi thought for a while, then casually said. "Okay, I won't argue with senior. It's quite tiring after all. But I have a question. In this illusion, senior doesn't just want to play chess with me, right? To be honest, I'm not very proficient in this."
"The current world situation in Western Chu is like showing bones in the wild. Since you are hesitant and sad, why don't you rebel?"
"Senior, if these words reach the ears of that person in Pengzhou City, I won't survive tonight."
"But you won't survive either!"
"I don't quite understand what senior said. Do I have to start a rebellion to survive? Now that the war in the northwest is coming to an end, I don't want to be the killer who stirs up trouble again. What's more, I have mediocre qualifications and don't have the ability to do it. These."
"When you grow up, you will no longer look like a teenager."
"People always grow up. What's more, it's just different, I am."
"What do you think of the current situation in Xichu and Xiping back then?"
"They are all purgatory on earth. What I saw along the way, as my senior said, were bones exposed in the wild. When I went south from Yangcheng two years ago, I saw many people starving to death."
"Xi Chu also took advantage of the situation back then, isn't it the same as Xi Ping back then?"
"Senior, why do you care so much about the past of the previous dynasty? In order to unify Xiping, do you want to be the best in the world? Or?"
"No, because of a promise made when I was young."
Li Yi was obviously at a loss. He didn't expect that this old man who refused to surrender and was brooding about the past dynasty didn't want to be the best in the world, but just for a promise he said.
"Promise? It sounds like there is a story."
"Yes, I once promised a person to take good care of her Xiping Kingdom so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment."
"It seems that this person is very important to senior."
"The love of my life, for some reason, she married someone else and died in depression."
"I have also heard the story of senior. So, the person that senior is talking about must be Princess Lanping?"
"That's right!"
"Senior is really a sweet-tempered person. He never forgets about emotional matters, which makes me admire him. It's just that my obsession is too deep, and I'm afraid I'm going the wrong way. As far as I know, at that time, Emperor Shun gave an order, and all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were moved. Forgetting sleep and food. Strong support for the human puppet technique. Mr. Su mentioned many times that this puppet technique involves human sacrifice and the body becomes a soldier."
Li Yi said with a wry smile. "Back then, the people's livelihood was completely lost and they were unpopular. Xiping committed suicide and was unpopular with the people. If Xiping didn't perish, who would perish? Now, although it is also a situation where the people are in dire straits and their bones are exposed in the wild, it is different. Xichu is like this The situation was caused by a natural disaster, otherwise how could Yang Weining be able to turn things over. After all, Xi Chu still has the support of the people. Does the senior know what the man sitting on the throne did? I don't want to sing praises, but I feel that he has done it out of my heart Well done. He purchased countless amounts of grain and oil from Nanmu Beili and other places, all of which were used to relieve people in the disaster areas. Langya Pavilion, Jiugong Mountain, Daoxian Sect, the famous families in the north and south, etc. all responded one after another. This is Western Chu. Compared with Underneath, the activities of Shadow are very similar to those of Xiping in the past, and they are unpopular after all. I am afraid that Princess Lanping would not want to have such a prosperous age after seeing the situation back then!"
"Yes! If she were alive, she wouldn't want Xi Ping to be like that."
Li Yi dropped a piece and said. "Besides, I really like King Yong and Princess Yong who died in the battle at Yangcheng City a year ago. They are real heroes. King Ning and King Zhou of Gu Daocheng are unyielding and unyielding. Of course, the senior is just a consciousness left behind in the illusion. He doesn't know this after thinking about it."
"I really don't know."
Li Yi smiled and asked again. "Senior just said that I am the only one who can come to this place. Why? Doesn't it still have something to do with me?"
The old man smiled and said. "Because you are an orphan from the previous dynasty, and the blood flowing in your body is the royal blood of the previous dynasty."
Li Yi was stunned. He had always thought that maybe his talent was not good enough, and the illusion left by the old man was only for him, trapping him here until he died. I never expected this to be the reason.
It turns out that he is actually the remnant of the previous dynasty.
No wonder, no wonder he would ask why he didn't raise troops to rebel after seeing him, no wonder he would say that only he could enter this place, no wonder he would be so kind to her.
Speaking of which, I have a blood feud with Xi Chu!
However, as he said before, the demise of the previous dynasty did not happen overnight, and it had long been corrupted and disintegrated internally. How can you blame others even if you seek death?
Since you are wrong, you should use it to face the appropriate situation.
Now, not to mention that he is just a small ordinary person without a king's hegemony, so what if he is a certain gun immortal and sword immortal at the moment? Can you still fight against world events?
Isn’t Song Yi, the gun fairy who was born out of nowhere, great? Not only was he plotted to death, the mediocre king Zhao Xun was not powerful, and he could not stop the shadow army.
He just wanted to make the poor people in Xichu live a better life and stop suffering like this.
The old man saw his thoughts and seemed to understand his decision. He smiled, stood up, pointed at Li Yi's eyebrows, and said. "Pursue the justice in your heart! After waiting for you for more than three hundred years, I miss her too."
Li Yi felt a strong and domineering force pouring into his body, and he was about to be pushed out.
Wang Daoping was looking for an exit in the confined space.
At this time, a wave of air rushed out of Li Yi, almost pushing him out.
He looked at Li Yi who woke up and asked what happened without saying anything.
Li Yi asked him. "When is it?"
"It's been almost a day, you really can sleep. Please help find the exit, otherwise we will all die here."
After he finished speaking, his hand touched a movable stone on the edge and pressed it.
Suddenly, a square stone hole opened on both sides of the wall.
A dense group of things poured out of the cave.
Li Yi didn't know, but Wang Daoping and Yin Fuzhu, who was a good student in medicine, had been together for six or seven years, and he could tell at a glance that this was the black widow, a very poisonous spider recorded in the book.
A light flashed in Li Yi's eyes, as if he saw traces of the Taiping Sword Immortal passing by here. He stepped forward and pushed a marble cube into the wall under a mural.
Following his move, the surroundings began to shake, and the entire underground passage shook as if it was about to collapse.
But what Wang Daoping didn't expect was that not only did their position not collapse, but they moved back a little after a violent shaking.
The black widows from the front swarmed in groups, and when they were about to reach their feet, the door at the back suddenly opened.
Wang Daoping pulled Li Yi and ran back.
They had just passed the stone gate when Li Yi found the same stone on the wall and pressed it into the wall.
The door slowly descended from above, finally landed on the ground and closed.
But even so, some black widows still rushed out of the stone door and rushed towards them.
Wang Daoping threw Li Yi dozens of meters away along the passage, then turned around and took out a fire thunder from his chest and threw it out.
Wang Daoping turned around and ran towards the end with Li Yi. There was a loud noise in the passage behind him. The black widows that rushed forward were all blown into ashes.
They stopped, and Wang Daoping looked down at his feet, feeling frightened because his feet were covered with white bones.
Judging from the appearance, it looked like it had just been torn into pieces, so it should have been done by those black widows.
Li Yi suddenly felt something was wrong, pushed Wang Daoping away and said. "careful."
Wang Daoping turned around and saw that Li Yi had already grabbed a snake and stabbed it into the snake's body with the sword Jiang Yu gave him.
snake! Yes, it's a snake.
But why are there snakes here? Is it a snake's nest formed by more than three hundred years of humidity and no sunlight? Or maybe they ran too fast and stepped on an underground mechanism. Released the snakes from the dungeon.
Li Yi threw the dead snake aside, then crushed and kicked the one on his feet aside.
The sound coming from behind was the sound of scraping the ground. The two of them knew without thinking that this was not a silent black widow, but a snake, or a group of snakes.
"Run quickly." Li Yi said and rushed out first.
Not to be outdone, Wang Daoping turned around and followed him. The two of them ran like crazy in the passage. On the contrary, it is somewhat different from the usual talk about wanting to be famous all over the world, being a hero, and saving people all over the world.
After running for a while, the two people stopped again.
Because there is another blocked stone gate ahead.
"Fuck it, fight it."
Wang Daoping said, turned around and stood in front of Li Yi, and with a powerful spear-breaking move, he directly smashed the snake crawling in front of him, causing the snake's body to roll back.
"I'll deal with them. You find an exit and move faster. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on long."
Li Yi did not reply to Wang Daoping's words. At this time, he knew that the situation was urgent and started groping at the end of the passage.
I didn't even have time to think about whether I would enter a more terrifying abyss.
Wang Daoping showed off his proud marksmanship in the passage. Not only did Song Yi's marksmanship make Tiger Tiger popular, but even the marksmanship he had previously studied was perfect.
The snakes that pounced on him were minced every time they came close to him.
Wang Daoping felt that if the situation was not urgent, he should show off his marksmanship in front of Li Yi.
But soon, he felt something was wrong, because the movement ahead became louder.
It's not like a group of snakes, but one, a big thing.
"Li Yi, can you hurry up? There seems to be a bigger one ahead."
"Wait, I'm trying, hold on."
Li Yi twisted a round bluestone 180 degrees, then pushed it into the wall and knocked it.
The front began to vibrate, and the two-meter-wide stone door was pulled upward and slowly opened.
Wang Daoping stabbed the dragon out of the sea, smashing the surrounding snakes and sending them flying around like straw.
Li Yi turned around and slashed a lunging snake with his sword, tearing it in half along with the snake's skin. He then kicked away a snake as thick as an arm and threw another one deep into the passage. Fire thunder.
Wang Daoping pierced the armor with a fierce blade, and he smashed a bunch of snakes in the passage ahead until only their corpses were left.
He picked up the corpse and prepared to block the entrance to the passage.
But just as he swung out the gun, a snake in front of him, which was almost as thick as the entire underground passage and had water chestnuts on its head, pounced forward, opened its mouth wide and bit the snake that was thrown away by him.
It turned out to be a python, or a dragon.
Wang Daoping was grabbed by Li Yi and thrown out of the stone door behind him.
Wang Daoping shouted. "Li Yi."
However, he was thrown out by Li Yi and did not hit the wall. Instead, he was grabbed by the collar and slowly dragged backward.
The person who caught him had excellent qinggong, at least he didn't feel any bumps.
In his sight, Li Yi jumped up and stood in front of the giant python, as if he was about to be swallowed into his belly in the next second.
However, the next second, Li Yi was not swallowed in one bite, but was simply pushed into the large basement by the giant python.
I saw Li Yi stabbing his sword into the ground, leaping high into the air, and actually moving around on the colorful dragon.
The speed was so fast that even Wang Daoping doubted whether it was Li Yi himself.
But following him all the way north, I had never seen him use such peerless martial arts. When did he learn it? Did he really not know Li Yi?
Li Yi stabbed out with his sword, dodged directly under the giant python's head, and inserted his sword into the tail spine of the giant python. He pulled the sword hilt and ran towards the python at an incredible speed.
Cutting all the way, it's like frantically painting on the ground.
Blood suddenly appeared on the python's body, and the blood shot out like a fountain.
Li Yi came to the top of the python's head, jumped dozens of meters high and smashed it down again.
The fist was filled with spiritual energy, and the red fire-like illusory fist hit the python's head directly with a "bang".
The python fell down instantly, its body shaking and flapping in its final struggle.
Wang Daoping was worried about Li Yi and jumped out at once.
However, he was pulled aside by the man behind him who had just caught him. In Wang Daoping's sight, his fingers were beating like an eminent monk. Muttered to himself.
"Daoshang, get up!"
The air in the basement instantly condensed under his movements and sounds, and forty or fifty void swords transformed by spiritual energy slowly rose and flew out.
The next second, the long sword spread out like a fan, nailing every part of the python's body. To the point of being unable to move.
Everyone looked at Li Yi and the man, and for a moment they were so surprised that they didn't dare to say anything, and there was a little fear in their eyes.
At least between the two of them, one can easily kill a giant python, and the other can easily transform the void into a sword.
Compared to them, it is much stronger.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but get chills on their backs.
He and others came here after chasing the man because of the Taiping Sword, and they brazenly said that they would kill the man to vent their anger.
It seemed that the man didn't care at all before, otherwise he and others would probably die here.
