This place is really not a place where normal creatures can live. That is, only the incarnations of the desert spirit, Nuba and Huang'er, can survive in this great desert, which can be called a place of death.
If there are oases in the deserts close to the Central Plains, there is no water vapor within a thousand miles of the barren valley where the female demon lives, let alone vegetation.
That is to say, the female demon possesses divine power, and coupled with her practice of Xuanmen Taoism, she can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into her body to achieve the effect of living without a grain, otherwise it would be difficult for her to be trapped in one place.
"Everyone in the world avoids me." The female demon invited Li Shimin and Li Chunfeng into the stone house and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you two would actually want to make friends with me. I didn't eavesdrop on your conversation on purpose. The truth is that this desert was created because of me, so my consciousness is all over the desert, and there are very few living things in the desert."
"Actually, we were presumptuous, and I hope the empress will forgive me." Li Shimin did not act like an emperor in front of this female empress. In terms of identity, she was the daughter of Huangdi Xuanyuan, the daughter of the ancient human king. That's the proper ancestor.
When the human race faces their ancestors, the simplest thought is to ask for their blessings.
It's just that the female tycoon looks like a girl. Just based on her appearance, it's hard to respect her as an ancestor. And based on her tone, Li Shimin doesn't want to make friends based on their age.
This is a normal thing. Women in the Tang Dynasty are not willing to talk about their age. Just like their own queen, after turning eighteen, she is not allowed to mark her age even on her birthday.
"There's nothing presumptuous." Even though the female demon empress is famous in the three realms, when she really comes into contact with her, she feels that she is a goddess with a very gentle temperament. "On the contrary, I am the one who rashly invites you two to come. In fact, We have important matters to discuss."
It sounds like there's something serious.
Li Shimin and Li Chunfeng immediately became serious.
"The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty far exceeds that of previous dynasties and empires, and the real rise of the human race is just around the corner." The female demon said with a smile: "I have been guarding this Chishan alone for thousands of years, and it's time to leave."
"Your Majesty, are you leaving?"
"Yes." The female demon empress nodded and said: "Not long ago, the Great Master Xuandu came to my place and invited me to go to the Xuandu City of Chaos. I have already agreed, listening to the words of the Great Master Xuandu. In the Land of Chaos There is no need to worry about my bloodline power losing control."
Li Shimin knew only a little about the affairs of Xuandu City.
But after all, Li Chunfeng was a disciple of the Human Cult, and he must know more than others. When he saw the female emperor mentioning this matter, he told Li Shimin what he knew about Xuandu City, and there was nothing to hide. place.
The female master on the side also listened carefully. Although the Xuandu Archmage had already told her about the current situation of Xuandu City, it was always good to know more.
After listening to Li Chunfeng's story, Li Shimin clenched his fists and said in his heart that it turns out that there really is a heaven outside the world. When he knew that the ancestors of the human race of all generations were fighting against the alien demons in Xuandu City, it was a lie to say that Li Shimin didn't want to go.
But he also heard some knowledge. There was a person in Xuandu City that neither the human king nor the emperor had.
Is there any connection between this?
Li Shimin did not ask, because he knew that even if there were no identity restrictions, it would be difficult for him to meet the requirements to go to Xuandu City.
Just listen to the names of the characters in Xuandu City and you will know. Which one is not a famous figure in their own era?
"Why is it that no one in our Tang Dynasty was chosen to go to Xuandu City?" Li Shimin couldn't help but ask Li Chunfeng.
"Elder brother once said that we originally wanted to bring Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui to Xuandu City, but because there will be disasters in the three realms, the Tang Dynasty cannot do without them."
Li Chunfeng paused for a moment and looked at the female emperor, "I just want to say that if the empress leaves Northern Xinjiang and goes to Xuandu City, then there will be no barrier of desert between Beiju Luzhou and Nanfangbuzhou, and there may be monsters. If Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui are transferred to Xuandu City at this time, I am afraid that with the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty, it will be difficult to resist."
"I'm afraid this can only be regarded as a part of the disaster in the three realms, far from the whole picture."
Li Chunfeng looked at Li Shimin and said, "May I ask Your Majesty, if the demons from Beizhou invade, will there be any generals to defeat them?"
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said: "I thought that if the Turks were destroyed, the Northern Xinjiang would be stable, but I didn't expect that there would be demons around the northern Xinjiang."
Bang!
Li Shimin hammered the table hard.
The poisonous barrier land of Luzhou in Beiju is really not a place where the human race can survive, but after the female Emperor Ba leaves, the two sides will never be able to live in peace.
In the past, they did not dare to enter Nanzhou through Chishan because the Nvba Empress blocked them, but now the Nvba Empress is about to leave the Three Realms and go to Xuandu City. This "natural barrier" will be eliminated.
One can imagine what kind of greed the demons in Beiju Luzhou would have when facing a "young" Tang Dynasty.
This is really a wave of ups and downs.
No wonder the female demon empress wanted to invite the two of them over to explain the matter. If she hadn't taken precautions early, she would have waited until those monsters came to Chang'an City. Well, then she would have had to ask her imperial brother to take action and transcend them all.
Li Shimin crossed his arms, my royal brother is invincible in the three realms, you can do whatever you want.
That said, despite Li Shimin's arrogance, he would not easily ask his younger brother to take action unless he had no choice.
Otherwise, if you want to live forever and avoid death, you can just stay in the Daci'en Temple for a year. Wouldn't that be enough?
Let's see which disaster dares to come to our door?
Otherwise, Master Tripitaka has never been a serious monk, especially when faced with natural disasters. If he could give in, he would be sorry for the Buddha's relics that he crushed several times.
Complying with the way of heaven has never been a matter of his own mind.
This is also a characteristic of the consciousness-only teaching.
"The demons in Northern Xinjiang are actually ordinary." The female demon said to Li Shimin: "Especially those with advanced cultivation levels do not dare to cross the line easily. After all, Master Sanzang is particularly famous. If they are not really crazy, I don't think they dare to Entering the Tang Dynasty without permission."
"Actually, what is really difficult to deal with is those little demons and ignorant people who don't know the heights of the world. If they are allowed to escape into the Central Plains, it will not be a blessing for the people. This matter must be guarded against."
"I wonder if the empress has any suggestions?" Since the empress had taken the initiative to bring up this matter, Li Shimin naturally asked for advice humbly.
"Since Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, do you know how the human king dealt with the demons of the Three Realms after he ascended the throne in ancient times?" The female slave was the real daughter of the Yellow Emperor and a great hero in the crusade against Chi You. Although she lost control of her bloodline power, They can only be forced to live in the Chishan Mountains north of Chishui River, but experience is also indispensable.
In ancient times, before those human kings ascended the throne, they had to come to visit her. If the queen's mood was not comforted, if she got tired of staying here and wanted to go out for a walk, then for the human race at that time It's definitely not a fun thing to say.
In fact, how could the female demon be able to stay in this valley?
It's just that she often goes to Beizhou. She doesn't have any pressure to bring trouble to those monsters. She has to have some fun for herself, otherwise she will get sick sooner or later.
It's just that these things cannot be known to others. The demons who saw her in Beizhou basically didn't leave any survivors. Even if there were one or two who were lucky enough to survive, let alone whether they knew that their opponent was a female demon. , since you know it, how can you spread the news to Datang?
The ancient kings' method for dealing with monsters was very simple, that is, they went up one by one to call the door, and everyone became familiar with each other first. Secondly, they told the leaders of the monster clan to take care of their subordinates, otherwise they would not be polite. .
Faced with the "Human King" who was full of martial virtues, the demons at that period were actually doing their duty. As for those mountain goblins who caused trouble in the human world, the Human King generally would not involve them. Within the human race, Digested by itself.
The human race itself also needs "prey" to practice its skills. Even during this period, there will be some sacrifices. But in the eyes of the human kings, this is inevitable.
All they can do is hold down those demon kings. It is impossible to keep an eye on every inch of human land at all times, and it is impossible to appear next to every tribe member who encounters or is about to encounter danger.
Therefore, self-improvement and self-reliance have always been the survival principles of this group of humans who opened up wasteland from the East Continent to the South Continent. Compared with the humans of the East Continent and the West Continent who are used to being "supported", especially the humans of the Central Plains of the South Continent, their competitiveness is and potential are the most immeasurable.
Li Shimin, who wanted to become a human king back then, naturally knew about the heroic deeds of human kings, and he yearned for them very much.
Hearing the words of the empress at this moment, his blood suddenly surged up. This was a feeling he had not experienced in many years. But soon, he calmed down and said helplessly: "I still have self-awareness, although I am of human blood. There has been a breakthrough in strength, but it is far inferior to the ancient human kings. I am afraid it will be difficult to imitate the deeds of the human kings."
Although he also knew that Xia Qi led an army to call the door, after all, times have changed and the weakness of the human race has almost become synonymous with this era. Although the human race occasionally has strong men born, they are rare after all.
"I can help you." The female demon seemed to be saying something trivial.
But just such a simple sentence was enough to make Li Shimin and Li Chunfeng look surprised.
"After all, I belong to the ancient human race. The immortal master Guangchengzi once said that the power of my bloodline can even surpass the human king. But in the end, you guys also saw it." The female slave pointed at herself, and she didn't seem to be affected by her own experience. However, he felt unfair and his optimistic attitude made Li Shimin and Li Chunfeng deeply admired. "Perhaps God does not allow the human race to have such power of blood. Even if they practice with the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother in the heaven, they have already achieved a lot." It worked, but we finally got to this point.”
This was the first time Li Chunfeng heard about this matter, but thinking about the situation of the empress, he felt it was normal. If the empress took the initiative to mention this matter now, where would they know about it?
It can only be said that this seemingly simple female concubine actually contains many secrets that are difficult for ordinary people to access.
He couldn't help but ask: "What if the empress did not go down to the lower world back then, but concentrated on practicing?"
"Hahahaha." The female emperor suddenly chuckled a few times, and then straightened her body a little, "I am the daughter of Xuanyuan, and I am also a human race, not a pure monk. In that situation at that time , I can’t tolerate me standing by and watching.”
Well.
Li Shimin and Li Chunfeng stood up and bowed to the empress.
Not that no one questioned the choice of the Nvba Empress, but it was never a choice for the Nvba Empress herself, even if she had to bear some price for it.
The difference between the human race and the other races in the Three Realms actually lies here, especially the Central Plains human race that is rooted in Southern Continent.
And the human race chosen by Xuandu Archmage to guard Xuandu City are all Central Plains humans.
Even if the Central Plains human race is successful in cultivating Taoism, they will still put their identity as a human race first. If the human race or the family is in trouble, it is their duty to do so.
For other races, that's really not necessarily the case.
Just like Master Tripitaka, he always emphasizes that he is a human being first and then a monk. As for the identity of "Buddha", he is the most dismissive.
Several of his disciples even said privately, "If there is anyone among us who can really take charge of the consciousness-only teaching, I see that Master will be the first to abandon his Buddha position and not sit on it."
There is no doubt about the power of the bloodline of the Nvba Empress. As the biological daughter of Emperor Xuanyuan, even if she developed normally, she was definitely among the top at that time. It was not for her to purify the power of Li Shimin's bloodline. What a difficult thing.
But what she wants to do is not to simply help Li Shimin break through the power of his bloodline, but to leave a legacy. "I also have a set of practice methods here, which may be able to transform the Ziwei Imperial Qi into one's true self." strength."
Weird things happen every year, especially today.
The Nvba Empress is like a treasure house. Every time she takes out some of her inventory, it will be an eye-opener for Li Shimin and Li Chunfeng.
"This set of cultivation methods was originally created to curb the power of blood in my body. It was created by my father Guanhe Tu. Later, in the heaven, it was perfected by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother." The Nvba Empress looked at Li Shimin. , "I think this technique seems to be destined for you, so you might as well give it a try."
"Convert Ziwei Emperor Qi into your own power?"
Li Chunfeng seemed to be pushed open by this sentence.
"I'm not sure." The female demon queen shook her head, "But I think this technique can condense the power of the human king. It must be used to transform Ziwei Imperial Qi, and it will be effective."
Li Chunfeng sat cross-legged on the spot. In fact, everything in the world can be turned into his own power. Even the seven emotions and six desires, such as love, hatred, and hatred, can transform the energy of crape myrtle into his own power. It does not seem impossible.
It's just that the emperors in the past didn't think in this direction. At most, they just passively relied on Ziwei Emperor Qi to suppress evil. How could there be any active use and transformation?
But now, Li Chunfeng seemed to grasp something at this moment. He asked Li Shimin:
"Your Majesty, can you lend me some Ziwei Emperor Qi?"
