The vision emanating from the Longquan Treasure Box subsided, and the scene inside was finally revealed. It was a clay sculpture of a child with a doll's head. The facial texture of the clay sculpture was very realistic. It was obvious that the clay sculpture was fabricated based on a real face.
In addition, the body of the clay sculpture is wrapped around, no, to be precise, there should be dark green vines growing on it. The vines twist and turn on the clay sculpture, and finally a faint blue bud pokes out from the chest of the clay sculpture, and Not in full bloom, but already extremely beautiful.
It's just that this kind of beauty appears very suddenly, and disappears equally suddenly. It's shorter than a flash in the pan. However, in the blink of an eye, this blue bud quickly withers, as if it doesn't want people to appreciate its beauty. More shy than mimosa.
Suddenly, the withered flower buds stirred slightly, and an insect that looked like a silkworm, with a purple body, only its head was dark green like a vine, and its whole body was slightly glowing, emerged from the flower buds.
"this······"
The empress looked at the insect thoughtfully and had some ideas, but she was not sure.
"This is the Raojiang Holy Gu guarding this Longquan treasure box!"
Li Maozhen heard the suspicion in the empress' hesitant words, so she spoke up to explain.
"How does it make people seek death as soon as they see it?"
The empress was not doubtful about the existence of the Raojiang Holy Gu, but she just couldn't figure out how this tiny insect could confuse people at the sight of it and seek death without hesitation.
You must know that Li Xingyun, who was the first to open the Longquan Treasure Box, is not top-notch in strength, but he still has the skill of the middle heaven level, and his Tiangang Jue is quite extraordinary, and his foundation is also very solid. With the strength of the heaven level, His skill is comparable to that of ordinary great beings, and he is also a top-notch master in the world.

However, even Li Xingyun, who was so powerful, opened the treasure box and was confused by the purple light the moment he opened it and attempted suicide.
Even Jiang Yunqing, whose strength was so extraordinary that it was immeasurable, could not get a glimpse of the secrets inside the treasure box the moment it was opened.
All of these symbolize the extraordinary existence of the guardian Longquan Treasure Box.
But I never thought that it was just a small insect that was the same as a spring silkworm except for its color.
The empress thought that Li Maozhen would know the answer. After all, Li Maozhen used the correct method to open the Longquan Treasure Box.
However, Li Maozhen shook his head regretfully this time, "There are only ways to remove the poison in the Twelve Cave. There is no record of the reason for the holy poison, or even the method of refining the holy poison."
Li Maozhen seemed to have thought of something, and paused before continuing: "Of course, it is also possible that Twelve Cave has hidden this part of the record and has not disclosed it to me."
As far as Li Maozhen is concerned, he is more inclined to the latter. In any case, for Twelve Cave, he is an outsider after all, and it is normal to hide something from him when it comes to such secret matters as the Longquan treasure. .
Just as Li Maozhen was explaining to the Empress, the Raojiang Holy Gu, which was struggling to dig out of the withered flower buds, suddenly stopped. Before Li Maozhen and the Empress could react, it suddenly turned white.
Before Li Maozhen and the empress could explore the reason, they suddenly turned into dust and floated away, just like fossils that had experienced eternity vaporized when exposed to the fresh air, and disappeared without a trace after a while, as if they had never been seen before. Appeared the same.
Just some of the petals that were forced to unfold on the withered bud told Li Maozhen and the Empress that the Raojiang Holy Gu had existed and that it had emerged from there just now.
Li Maozhen stretched out her hand and gently picked off the withered flower bud, held it in front of her eyes and examined it carefully, hoping to find some clues in it.
However, it is a pity that this flower bud has completely withered, and the texture on the petals has either disappeared or changed its appearance. It is impossible to identify the variety of this flower bud based on the memory of just a snap of the fingers.
I took it to the tip of my nose and sniffed it gently. Except for a rotten smell, there was no other smell. Did the clue end here?
Li Maozhen remembered that she had just said something. If the clue was cut off here, it would be a bit embarrassing in front of her sister.
Reluctantly, he wiped a little bit of fine dust off the clay sculpture, brought it up to his nose and sniffed it. As a faint smell floated into his nose, Li Maozhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his fingers that were covered with fine dust on the clay sculpture. , looked at the empress and said: "The smell of blood!"
"Um?"
The empress stepped forward and took a sniff, but there was a faint smell of blood. Moreover, this smell of blood was not new. It seemed to be a unique smell that had been immersed in it for many years.
"Kacha!"
Suddenly, the clay sculpture made a crisp sound, like something cracking.
The eyes of Li Maozhen and the empress were immediately fixed on the clay sculpture. The next moment, the clay sculpture cracked under their eyes.
A crack started from the neck of the clay sculpture and cracked downward inch by inch.
Li Maozhen shook her head innocently, "I didn't move, it split open on its own!"
At the same time, in a mysterious cave somewhere in Shu, a huge statue of a woman from Raojiang was holding hands together. A boy with a face that was identical to the clay sculpture came to life. A thick layer of rain fell on his body. The dust seems to have been sleeping for a long time.
The boy's eyes opened, and his pale eyes looked very strange. His body moved slightly, and there was a sound of joint friction.
It can be seen from this that he must have been asleep for a long time!
In Zhongnan Mountain, Cangbing Valley, and in front of Cangbing Pavilion, Yuan Tiangang stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the bright white moonlight, and sighed in a hoarse voice: "Longquan is about to open!"
"Is it still under his control?"
Next to him, Shi Wei, who was wearing a purple skirt, gently pulled up her hair by her ears and followed Yuan Tiangang's line of sight to look at the bright moon in the sky.
"Yes, he is still under his control. In terms of character and resourcefulness, he is above me. In comparison, my only advantage is that the road he has traveled is longer and longer than him." Yuan Tiangang sincerely said emotion.
Shi Yao was stunned and felt a little incredible. This was the first time in so many years that she heard the commander comment on a person like this.
You must know that in these troubled times, many outstanding figures and heroes have emerged along the way, such as Li Maozhen, Li Keyong, Zhu Wen, and even Li Cunxu, but the commander-in-chief has never paid attention to them.
"Is he really worthy of being a commander-in-chief? You think so?"
Although he had many interactions with Jiang Yunqing and indeed felt that Jiang Yunqing was somewhat extraordinary, Shi Wei was still a little suspicious.
"With many years of arrangements, I can help His Highness calm down this troubled situation easily."
Yuan Tiangang raised his hand and held it towards the bright moon in the sky, as if he was holding the bright moon in his hand.
But suddenly, Yuan Tiangang put down his hand with regret and sighed: "But if I want to create another prosperous Zhenguan era, I can't do it."
"Could it be that Jiang Yunqing can do it?"
Shi Wei had never seen what it was like in the prosperous age of Zhenguan, but it was definitely a unique prosperous age that could make the commander-in-chief miss him for three hundred years.
"He can!" Yuan Tiangang said firmly.
After receiving such a positive answer from Yuan Tiangang, Shi Wei suddenly had no doubts in his heart.
In her opinion, the handsome man never misses anyone when he looks at them.
A smile bloomed from her pretty face, and she asked with a smile: "Is the Marshal going to choose him as his successor?"
Yuan Tiangang did not answer, he just raised his hand and took off the cold mask from his face, placed it on the crenellations of the city wall, turned around and slowly walked down the tower...
