"who?--"
Whether it was Hushan or the masked man in black, he felt a strong force coming towards him. Without warning, he took a few steps back to stabilize his body.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the visitor stepped forward to protect Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng, and even threw a pill to Tubo Zampo.
"This is the Returning Pill from Tusita Palace. If Zanpu doesn't mind it, just take it——"
With a quick glance, the visitor could tell that Songtsen Gampo's foundation was seriously damaged, and he didn't know how long it would take to recover.
The stronger the great witch is, the stronger he is. Unfortunately, the witch clan has never cultivated the soul and relies solely on the power of the physical body to fight. Once injured, recovery will be much slower than other races.
"this......"
Songtsen Gampo was completely stunned, and the attentive Princess Wencheng stepped forward to take the elixir.
"Guiyuan Pill"?
She had heard of the name, but unfortunately she had never seen it, but it did not prevent her from being sure of the elixir in her hand.
And I heard someone say that this elixir comes from the "Tushita Palace", so what else is there to "dislike"?
The two looked at each other quickly, and both saw the confusion in the other's eyes, as if they were asking each other.
Unfortunately, it turned out that neither of them really knew the person coming.
"I, the king, would like to thank this friend——"
Songtsan Gampo stretched out his hand and swallowed the "Guiyuan Pill", and a cool feeling suddenly spread throughout his body, as if every meridians and every inch of muscle and bone were moisturized.
Princess Wencheng was right next to him, and Songtsen Gampo's changes naturally fell into her eyes, which also gave this ancient wizard who had been reincarnated for several generations a new understanding of "Tushita Palace".
"Looking at your appearance and clothes, you are from the Tang Dynasty, right?"
Seeing the person in front of her, Princess Wencheng felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. It seemed that she had seen this person before but couldn't remember it for a while.
"Haha, we haven't seen each other for decades. Does Sister Xueyan really not recognize me?"
Catching the suspicion on Princess Wencheng's face, the visitor smiled "haha", but there was no trace of the domineering look he had when he first arrived.
"Sister Xueyan"?
How many years have you not heard such a title?
It has been more than thirty years since Princess Wencheng married into Tibet. That is to say, her appearance still remains that of a 18- or 19-year-old girl, so she was recognized by visitors at a glance.
Before getting married, Princess Wencheng only had the title of princess. She was the daughter of King Li Daozong of Jiangxia, and her maiden name was "Li Xueyan".
However, how can a woman's maiden name in this era be easily known to others?
What's more, this "Sister Xueyan" seems to be the only one the Ninth Prince who followed Princess Changle called herself that occasionally.
Suddenly, Princess Wencheng remembered what she said when she first appeared, "What if I don't agree?" Could it be?
"You...are you the Nine Emperors Brother Pheasant Nu, the current lord of the Tang Dynasty?"
Princess Wencheng tried her best to find memories on the visitor's face.
It's a pity that the two of them had never met each other a few times when they were in Chang'an, not to mention that Li Zhi at that time was just a child under ten years old.
Decades have passed. From a child to an adult, the body shape, appearance, and temperament have all undergone tremendous changes. How can you tell the difference?
"Haha, isn't it my little brother? Sister Xueyan is always kind. My little brother, Pheasant Nu, wants to say hello to you——"
...
The visitor was none other than Li Zhi, the leader of the Tang Dynasty. After bidding farewell to Wu Meiniang, he turned west to travel to Tibet.
In Li Zhi's concept, the land of Tubo was XZ in later generations. It was the place closest to the sky. Unfortunately, he had never been there in his two lifetimes.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he shuttled through the clouds leisurely, sometimes even lowering the clouds, and galloped through the wilderness, deep mountains and dense forests.
I also saw a lot of Tubo herdsmen along the way, and even Tuyuhun people and Tang people from time to time.
The Tubo herdsmen seemed cautious, but almost all of the Tuyuhun people who came here were good herders, and they worked happily in the new pastures.
On the other hand, among the Tang people, in addition to street vendors, there were quite a few scholars.
Li Zhi understood that this was largely the work of Di Renjie. This talented man had strengthened Tuyuhun in just a few years, and now he was repeating his old tricks in Tubo.
When Li Zhi arrived at the camp of the Tang-Tu coalition, he did not show up, but hid in the dark and observed carefully.
Prince Li Chenxiang is becoming more and more calm, Di Renjie, who has been "famous for a long time", is extremely wise. Pei Xingjian, Qin Huaiyu, Luo Tong, Bai Zhi and Lu Tuoluo are all old acquaintances and are taking care of military affairs conscientiously.
Li Zhi finally met his second apprentice Xue Dingshan and his destined wife, Fan Lihua.
However, Li Zhi did not find the aura of the fire spirit in the entire camp.
Fire Spirit, that is the weapon spirit of "True Sun Fire", was originally just a magical power cultivated by Li Zhi, but it strangely evolved into a weapon spirit.
Li Chenxiang's division of troops and generals, and Pei Xingjian's initiative to volunteer were noticed by Li Zhi, and he had no intention of intervening.
Now that his son can take charge of his own business, he, as a father, is naturally happy and free.
In fact, if the future of the entire Three Realms were not unpredictable, Li Zhi himself would have thought of going into seclusion.
After taking several of his daughters-in-law to "Yingzhou Island" to stay, he was confident that in a hundred years at most, he could turn "Yingzhou Island" into a blessed place for practitioners.
Unfortunately, the demons in the Three Realms are still raging, but the human race has developed at an unexpectedly high speed for decades. The strength of the Tang Dynasty has long exceeded his "memory" by countless times.
However, the more Tang Dynasty's strength grew, the more uneasy Li Zhi felt, always feeling that there would be a greater crisis waiting for him.
Therefore, Li Zhi cannot retreat. Only by constantly improving himself can he be invincible in the unpredictable future.
Li Zhi cannot do anything about passing the blame to his son. When the day comes when everything in the Tang Dynasty is really in peace, he will step down from the position of "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty".
Besides, because Li Zhi has been "lazy" since he was a child, the specific military and government affairs of the Tang Dynasty have been handled by others until now. He only needs to be a qualified hands-off shopkeeper.
Li Zhi had long seen the duel between several "Daluo Golden Immortals" in Luoxue City. In fact, he had long been hidden in mid-air.
Because the people who took action were almost beyond his knowledge.
Who is Hushan?
Seeing the two demon generals following this person, as if they were two followers, and calling themselves "Three Young Masters", Li Zhi felt that this person was not simple.
Songtsen Gampo was actually a great shaman?
This is also beyond Li Zhi's cognition. Why didn't Songtsen Gampo directly destroy Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty by relying on the ability of the great witch?
The strength of the Tang Dynasty has exploded in the past twenty years. Li Zhi does not think that the Tang Dynasty twenty years ago could withstand the conquest of a great wizard.
But what interests Li Zhi the most is his "Sister Xueyan" and the black-turbaned masked guest on the other side.
Princess Wencheng, whether in "later generations" or in this life, is someone Li Zhi respects, otherwise she wouldn't have taken the initiative to call her "Sister Xueyan" when she first saw her at the age of eight. .
However, this Princess Wencheng in front of her is also a great witch?
Under the top-notch "Destroy the Illusion Golden Eyes", Li Zhi could naturally see that Princess Wencheng, a great witch, was different. She could actually cultivate the soul?
There seems to be only one great witch who can cultivate the soul since the beginning of the world, right?
Could it be that my "Sister Xueyan" is actually the ancient wizard who has been "dead" for thousands of years?
As for the black-turbaned masked guest opposite, his whole body was shrouded in demonic aura. It seemed that he had practiced demonic skills.
It's just that when the other party is fighting, he will show off his Buddhist magical powers from time to time. Maybe it's been a habit for many years.
The demonic skills only temporarily cover people's eyes and ears.
...
Li Zhi was just busy reminiscing with Princess Wencheng, and seemed to have forgotten how many people were eyeing him?
"Hmph, are you that Tang Tong Li Zhi? You are just a weak human being, but you have repeatedly ruined the good things of my demon clan. I really don't know how those protectors of my demon clan became?"
The first person to jump out was Hushan. It was his first time to ask for an order to go on an expedition, but he was "likely to hear" Li Zhi's name.
Seeing that this person was only in the early stage of "Daluo Jinxian" today, Hushan was a little puzzled. He even suspected that Heipao and the others had told lies when they went back.
"Three...Three Young Master, this Tang Emperor's methods are extraordinary, you must not take it lightly."
This was the first time Hushan saw Li Zhi, but not the two demon generals behind him, whether it was the encounter in the demon world that year, the subsequent fight in Chang'an, or the battle in heaven not long ago.
Li Zhi's incredible performance was still fresh in their memory. This guy could compete with "Quasi-Saint" Monro.
"Hmph, we're just a human race, and you were so frightened like this? You really gave me the face of the demon race!"
The Brahmin spirit general's kind reminder was actually taken as a sign of cowardice by Hushan.
"Haha, why are you demons showing up everywhere? Your name is Hushan," Daluo Jinxian's peak cultivation level is barely enough for me to take action. Come on - "
After staying on "Yingzhou Island" for more than a year, except for one fight with Yun Zhongzi, Li Zhi has been practicing the art of weapon refining. Seeing the rare masters in front of him, he felt a little itchy for a while. .
Fighting against Yun Zhongzi was just a sparring exercise at most, but you couldn't just let it go, but the demons in front of you were different.
"Pheasant... Your Majesty, it's better to let my concubine come. You can't afford to fight with this fierce and stubborn——"
At this moment, Princess Wencheng came over from behind.
Naturally, she also saw Li Zhi's cultivation. In the early stage of "Daluo Golden Immortal", Princess Wencheng was so shocked that she was speechless.
She herself awakened the memory of her previous life and broke through to the realm of great witch in one fell swoop, but Li Zhi was different, he was an out-and-out human being.
Of course, some of Li Zhi's achievements in the Three Realms were also spread to Tubo.
Seeing is believing, hearing is believing, and Princess Wencheng, who has dual memories of the human race and the shaman race, does not think that Li Zhi in front of her can be the opponent of the demon Hushan.
"Sister Xueyan, do you think so little of Pheasant Slave? You can comment on me after I punch him a few times -"
Li Zhi didn't even look back, he took a step forward and punched Hushan.
"The bear collapses the mountain——"
Well, after so many years, Li Zhi still prefers this move. Whenever he shows his physical strength, this move is enough.
"Hmph, you don't overestimate your capabilities!"
Li Zhi punched him, so Hushan couldn't give in. He followed up and punched Li Zhi in the same direction.
Despite what Hu Shan said was easy, the strength of his hand was not ambiguous, at least he used 90% of his strength.
After this punch, he believed that not to mention a human race in the early stage of "Da Luo Golden Immortal", even a middle or late stage "Da Luo Golden Immortal" might not dare to take it head on.
"Boom——ah——"
Hushan didn't go up slowly, and came back even faster. His body, which was about four to five feet tall, was hit by Li Zhi's punch and turned over several times in the air. After landing, he retreated more than ten feet away.
"You...how do you have such great strength? Are you also a Witch Clan? Impossible, absolutely impossible-"
Not to mention Hushan didn't believe it, even the black-turbaned masked guest next to him was surprised.
Tang Emperor Li Zhi?
Although it was their first meeting, he knew more about Hushan than Hushan. Even among the veteran "Da Luo Jinxian" Li Zhi defeated were several of his senior brothers.
I heard that Li Zhi gained the upper hand with the help of several spiritual treasures, such as the "Xuanyuan Sword".
Such as "Sea Purple Golden Beam", such as "God-killing Spear".
As for the magical skills revealed by Li Zhi, the masked man in black didn't think they were very powerful. He was a serious disciple of a saint. From the prehistoric era to the three realms, what kind of master has not mastered it?
However, the force of Li Zhi's punch just now, as a bystander, the masked man in black scarf also felt the heaven-defying power contained in it.
How could I change myself and take this punch?
Hushan only suspected that Li Zhi was from the witch clan, but the black-turbaned masked guest who had seen a lot had already concluded that Li Zhi was at least as strong as a great witch.
This discovery surprised him.
Why has such important information never been mentioned?
"Princess, this Tang Emperor's punch is so domineering, it seems... it seems to be more powerful than you and me, the great witch? And, why do I think he is also a witch?"
The witch race is already the most physically powerful among all races. To be able to make a great witch say something like this shows the power of Li Zhi's punch.
The "Guiyuan Pill" that Songtsan Gampo took finally took effect, and he returned to his original state, and his injuries were almost healed.
Princess Wencheng didn't seem to hear his question. Her mind was filled with the punch that Li Zhi had just thrown, and she was lost in thought.
...
"Bear Collapsing Mountain" is naturally not a subtle move, and even seems a bit clumsy.
This kind of move is used in a contest between "Daluo Jinxian" masters. According to the theory, they should be at a disadvantage, but with one punch, the opponent's "Daluo Jinxian" peak person was actually knocked away?
What made Princess Wencheng fall into deep thought was naturally not the move "Bear Collapsing Mountain", but the power behind this move.
How can it be? How can it be? ...
Princess Wencheng, or rather her memory of the ancient witch kept asking herself.
She is so familiar with the power contained in this move!
That is definitely the power of the witch clan, and it is the power that only "ancestral witches" deserve to possess.
In her previous life, she was the sister of the ancestral witch Qiang Liang, the only inheritor of Xuanming witchcraft, and the only great witch besides the twelve ancestral witches to have a soul.
Even a unique being like her might not be able to exert such strength at her peak.
"Hushan, you alone are no match for me, so let's ask this friend of yours to take action together——" Literature
After one punch, Li Zhi tested Hushan's strength.
It is much stronger than the three major protectors and the six major spiritual generals of the demon clan that I encountered before, but it is far inferior to the "quasi-sages" Monro and Shura, and even weaker than the mysterious "Black Lotus Holy Envoy" One line.
With so many people present, in Li Zhi's opinion, the one with the strongest strength might be the black scarf masked guest.
"Haha, this is my first meeting with Emperor Tang. Why is Emperor Tang so resentful of me?"
"Even if there is a conflict between my villain Yang Fan and the Tang Dynasty on the battlefield, it is still a matter for each of them. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty does not even hold a grudge against Tubo Zanpu, but instead wants to pursue a subordinate general?"
As soon as Li Zhi appeared, the masked man in black scarf originally wanted to watch the excitement from the sidelines, but he was not expecting the situation to develop to this point.
Even thinking about Li Zhi's past record and seeing the punch the opponent had just made, he had the idea of retreating.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhi directly ordered his general, and the anger in his tone could be heard by everyone.
"Hmph, you are surrounded by demonic energy, but you also possess Buddhist magical powers. From my perspective, you should have practiced Yuqing Taoism, right?"
"Together these things, let me ask you, are you Manjushri, Samantabhadra, or are you afraid of leaving grandchildren?——"
The masked man in black turban did not wait for the answer he wanted, but was asked a question by Li Zhi. This question made the masked man in black turban feel like he was struck by lightning.
"You...how did you figure it out?"
In shock, the black-turbaned masked guest became completely confused.
Doesn't this kind of rhetorical question exactly illustrate the point?
Is Li Zhi's expectation right?
"It seems that my guess is right. I must go to Lingshan Mountain to take a look in person someday——"
Confirming his guess, Li Zhi appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was already in a turmoil.
This feeling was still in the demon world at the beginning, whether it was his reaction when he asked those innate demon gods, or his doubts about the "Black Lotus Holy Envoy".
Now that he saw this fake "demon" again, no matter which one he was, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, or the fearful grandson, Li Zhi had already recognized his judgment.
If this judgment is true, then the chess game of the demon clan's invasion of the Three Realms is too big!
"Hmph, junior, how dare you stand in my way? Young Master Hushan, how about you and I work together to kill this person?——"
Things have developed to this point, which has already exceeded the imagination of anyone present, and the only ones who really know more about it are probably Li Zhi and the black scarf masked guest.
Even Hushan, the direct disciple of Wutian Buddha, was confused at the moment.
Looking at the eager eyes cast by the masked man in black scarf, he could tell that there was no falsehood on the part of the other party and it was a completely sincere invitation.
Hu Shan instinctively wanted to agree, but when he thought of the conversation between this person and Li Zhi just now, he couldn't help but feel a little struggling in his heart.
Li Zhi mentioned that among the three people, Hushan had only seen one, and he was still trapped in Lingshan. The master wanted to persuade that person to surrender.
Except for that one, the remaining two are both Buddhist Bodhisattvas, and they are powerful people among the four great Bodhisattvas. Could it be that this black-turbaned masked guest is really a Buddhist Bodhisattva?
"Young Master Hushan, you have to think about the purpose of coming to Tibet?——"
Seeing that Hushan had no feedback, the masked man in black scarf was obviously a little anxious.
Since Li Zhi said that, it means that he must have some clues. A person like this would rather kill by mistake than let go, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!
"Okay, I agree to join forces with you. As for other matters... we'll talk about it later."
Hushan still understands that unity will benefit two people and division will cause two harms. More than a thousand demons have come in force, but now only he and two demon generals are left.
If he really returned to Lingshan in despair, how would he be different from the previous demon protectors?
"Sister Xueyan, the two spirit generals are left to you, I will take action first——"
Even if Li Zhi believed in his own strength, he couldn't help but feel a little "excited" when dealing with the cooperation of two people at the peak of "Daluo Jinxian". What's more, the black-turbaned masked guest gave him a feeling that he couldn't completely see through it.
"The bear collapses the mountain"——
It was this move again, but this time it was directed at the black-turbaned masked guest. Li Zhi was suddenly very interested in the identity of this person. He wanted to see who this powerful person was?
Having seen Li Zhi's strength, the black-turbaned masked man naturally did not dare to take it easily, and directly handed over the "Vajra Pestle" in his hand, and another treasure "Vajra Bell" appeared in his left hand.
Now that his identity had been revealed by Li Zhi, the black-turbaned masked man let go even more. The "Vajra Pestle" in his right hand was intended to attack, while the "Vajra Bell" in his left hand created a layer of protection for himself.
At the same time, Hushan also moved, and a heavy Santing machete appeared in his hand, and he rushed towards Li Zhi and slashed at him.
"Princess, do we want to go up and help?——"
In view of Princess Wencheng's previous display of combat prowess, Songtsen Gampo had unknowingly exchanged their positions.
The couple had been together for decades, Songtsen Gampo was the king, and Princess Wencheng was just the marriage daughter of the Tang Dynasty.
Even if she awakened the memory of her previous life, before she truly saw Princess Wencheng's fighting power, Songtsen Gampo still regarded himself as the best among the Wu clan.
"There is no need for this. Let's do it according to Emperor Tang's instructions. You and I will each win a demon spirit general."
Glancing at Li Zhi, who was one against two, Princess Wencheng felt indescribable respect from her heart, just like when she faced the twelve "ancestral witches" back then.
Princess Wencheng took the lead in finding Hualian, the leader of the more powerful "Six Spiritual Generals", and naturally left the Brahmin to Songtsen Gampo.
When the fighting resumed, the commotion became even greater. Even Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo could only lead the two spirit generals to retreat to the back mountain, for fear of being affected by the three-person battle in mid-air.
All great witches are like this, let alone other people.
In front of the Potala Palace, there are still more than 4,000 "Guangjun" left, and nearly half of them have been lost.
The Benbo sect was even more miserable, with more than 100 "Golden Immortals" who had accumulated fighting power for thousands of years. Only 27 people survived, and other sect members also suffered more than 2,000 casualties.
Anyway, the demon brigade has been wiped out, and the current fighting is not something that their level can intervene in. The remaining thousands of people have withdrawn from the venue.
The fighting has continued all night, and now the sun is shining in the sky, but no one in the city dares to show their heads, hiding in their homes and shivering.
The fight between Li Zhi and the three of them also entered a fierce battle. He did not use any weapons from beginning to end. Or maybe for Li Zhi, this was a rare opportunity to test the "ancestral witch"'s fighting power. How could he let it go so easily?
After eighty rounds, Li Zhi punched Hushan's Santang machete, causing it to shatter into pieces.
Hushan was even more affected by the remaining energy of this punch, and he groaned, hurting his internal organs.
After one hundred and twenty rounds, the "Vajra" of the black-turbaned masked man was shattered. He was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled out a "Sword of Wisdom" and held it up with golden lotus under his feet, covering his whole body with magic.
