Li Zhi looked at his broken nails in disbelief. Although he could recover quickly, it had a huge impact on his confidence.
"Actually, it doesn't make much difference to me whether you are a mortal or a drought demon."
"Why bother after all this effort?"
Li Daoxuan's voice sounded leisurely and seemed so calm and gentle.
Li Zhi was instantly angered. After becoming a drought demon, his character became more violent and bloodthirsty. In addition, he was still facing the nightmare that had troubled him for decades. How could he endure it?
Whoosh!
He stepped on the evil wind and bit Li Daoxuan, fighting completely on instinct.
However, the next moment, Li Daoxuan was condescending and slapped him casually.
boom! boom! boom! boom……
In full view of everyone, a figure fell like a cannonball, falling continuously from the top of the Vientiane Palace, passing through the towers one after another, and finally crashed into the ground with a roar.
Cracks filled the air and smoke billowed.
The falling figure was naturally the arrogant Li Zhi who had just become Han Ban.
Li Daoxuan floated down, his figure was ethereal and unparalleled.
He lowered his eyes, showed a playful smile, and said, "Want to run?"
The power of the earth's veins surged, and a figure was desperately escaping underground.
In addition to having the power of the extreme sun, Hanbao is also the darling of the earth. He has absorbed endless earth energy and is uniquely endowed with magical powers to escape from the earth. He can fly faster than flying through the clouds and mists.
Obviously, Li Daoxuan's slap just now completely woke him up, and Li Zhi discovered something in despair.
After becoming a Hanban, he still had no power to fight back in front of Li Daoxuan?
"If you were asked to escape by hiding, I would be in a fairyland like this. It would be fine if you didn't cultivate."
Li Daoxuan shook his head, smiled, and stepped on it.
Boom!
The power of the earth's veins for thousands of miles around was shaking wildly, like dragons rolling underground, repelling Li Zhi's body.
After three breaths.
boom!
A figure flew out from the ground, or in other words, was forcibly spit out by the earth's veins. His hair was disheveled, his dragon robe was broken, and he looked very embarrassed.
Li Daoxuan's eyes were deep, and his voice was consistent with the avenue, echoing throughout the Daming Palace, as powerful as a mountain, and stirring like thunder.
"kneel."
The energy of earth, water, wind and fire surged, and under the great supernatural power that mediates creation, the world around Li Zhi suddenly became extremely heavy. In the words of later generations, the gravity increased countless times.
Li Zhi resisted desperately, his whole body tensed, and the magma-like blood boiled in his body, making a river-like sound. His skin became as red as jade, exuding billowing heat waves.
For a Drought Demon in its heyday, he already had infinite divine power. He could tear up dragons with his hands and kick giant whales with his feet. His physical strength was enough to make people in the fairyland proud.
If it is based on the earth, it can mobilize endless earth energy, and its power will never end.
But unfortunately, what he met was Li Daoxuan.
A true Earth Immortal, the successor of the Eight-nine Mysterious Techniques, and possesses all kinds of incredible supernatural powers.
Li Zhi's knees bent down inch by inch, and he let out roars like a trapped animal. In the end, he could not resist the power of heaven and earth, and suddenly knelt on the ground in the direction of Zhaoling.
Under the knees, cracks continued to spread, making the entire land riddled with holes.
Li Daoxuan walked to him casually and sighed softly.
"Li Zhi, are you still stubborn?"
Li Zhi suddenly raised his head, looked at him with great hatred, and shouted hoarsely: "I did nothing wrong, Li Daoxuan, you did it!"
"As the emperor, why can't I live forever? On the contrary, you continue to build your own prestige. In another hundred years, who will know who Li Tang's Li is?"
Under humiliation and frustration, Li Zhi simply let go and uttered all the words in his heart.
"Li Daoxuan, don't forget that all your glory was given by the late emperor!"
"Without me, the Li Tang Royal Family, you would be nothing more than a Taoist priest!"
Li Daoxuan was not angry, he just sighed softly, with a hint of desolation in his eyes.
In fact, he didn't expect this scene.
When Taizong died and Li Zhi ascended the throne, Li Daoxuan had a vague hunch that his prestige was so high that the successor Li Tang would respect him on the surface, but in fact he didn't know what he would think in his heart.
There are too few wise kings like Taizong who can trust him and even regard him as a confidant.
Therefore, he did not even attend Li Zhi's coronation ceremony, nor did he invite Li Zhi at the wedding, just to slowly clear up his relationship with the Li Tang royal family so that future kings could rest assured.
But the facts proved that no matter what he did, he could not completely dispel the suspicion in the emperor's heart.
The trees are big and attract the wind, and the trees are beautiful in the forest.
"Without the Li Tang royal family, I am just a Taoist priest."
Li Daoxuan's voice was calm and he continued: "With the Li Tang royal family, I am still just a Taoist priest."
In the mist of a dynasty, in the blink of an eye for a thousand years, on the long road of seeking truth, what does the rise and fall of an empire mean?
It's just a small part of the scenery on the journey.
He just stopped to take a look, but he wouldn't stay for long.
"Li Zhi, your biggest mistake was not to misunderstand me, but to be fascinated by the demon without knowing it. Not only did you kill countless people, but you were about to overthrow the Li Tang Dynasty and cede my land of China to the hands of foreign countries. "
Hearing this, Li Zhi couldn't help being stunned, and subconsciously retorted: "This is impossible, you are talking nonsense!"
"If what Pindao said is false, then why doesn't Ming Chongyan, the man you rely on, show up to save you?"
Li Zhi was shocked and couldn't refute for a moment.
In fact, he had been wondering before, why didn't Ming Chongyan show up when he woke up as a drought demon?
Ming Chongyan's cultivation level is unfathomable, and he has magical powers and magical methods written in the three books of heaven, earth and man. If he were here, the two of them might not be able to fight against Li Daoxuan if they worked together.
But at this point in the war, Ming Chongyan seemed to have disappeared despite such a big commotion.
Li Daoxuan shook his head and said: "You told Wu Ruyi that Ming Chongyan was yours, it was too early."
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves, like flowing clouds, without a trace of fireworks.
Everyone looked up to the sky, and saw that under this sleeve, the corpse energy dispersed one after another, like ice and snow melting. This was not the end, the stars and the bright moon in the sky were also swept away by the sleeve, leaving only a clean patch. clear night sky.
It's like using the sky as a drawing paper and wiping away the ink, leaving only white space.
But everyone could see clearly, and the surroundings were not plunged into darkness.
"Li Zhi, take a good look at it yourself."
After Li Daoxuan's words fell, he saw a picture begin to emerge in the night, divided into two boundaries: the Tang Dynasty landscape to the east, and the Tubo Plateau to the west.
In the Tang Dynasty, a tall tower stood, surrounded by heavenly dragons, it was mighty and majestic.
It's a pity that the dragon was chained up by countless iron chains that day, with a golden phoenix suppressing it on top, making it look languid.
It is the Vientiane Shrine.
On the Tubo Plateau, there is a magnificent temple with a golden roof and white walls. It has an extraordinary atmosphere. It gathers the national destiny of the entire Tubo like a deep valley, turning into a python and peering into the east.
The two buildings are like the black and white poles of the Tai Chi diagram, faintly in opposition.
As the Tubo army won successive victories, the python of luck continued to move eastward, and finally found the celestial dragon that symbolized the destiny of Li and Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty was a celestial country with a vast territory and abundant resources, and a strong national power. Its destiny, the Heavenly Dragon, was also mighty and majestic, and could easily bite the giant python to death. However, it was a pity that the Heavenly Dragon was entangled in iron chains and bitten by the golden phoenix. It had already been He was so weak that he could only watch himself being swallowed by the giant python.
The python swallows the dragon!
So this Tai Chi diagram was gradually dyed black, and the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty continued to flow to Tubo, making the python continue to grow, and even gave birth to dragon horns and dragon scales.
"This this……"
Li Zhi was stunned, as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Ming Chongyan...is from Tubo?"
He really couldn't figure out why Ming Chongyan would do this.
At that time, he also sent people to check many times and confirmed that Ming Chongyan was a Han Chinese. His ancestors had lived in the Chinese land for generations and had no contact with foreign countries.
What's more, Datang will only give more to Tubo if it can give him. Why should he help Tubo?
"Pindao doesn't know who he is, but what is certain is that this person has harbored evil intentions towards the Tang Dynasty for a long time and has been planning for a long time."
Li Daoxuan discovered the secret in the Vientiane Tower when he entered the Daming Palace for the first time.
Ming Chongyan's methods were very high, but he still couldn't hide it from his eyes. Not only did he see Li Zhi who was turning into a drought demon, but he also saw that this Vientiane Palace was essentially the eye of a world-shattering formation.
Another formation is thousands of miles away in Tubo, called the Jokhang Temple. It was built by Princess Wencheng when she came to Tibet. It originally had no problems, but after years of repairs, it has been quietly transformed into a formation.
With the national destiny of Tang and Tubo as the focus, it spanned hundreds of millions of miles of mountains and rivers, and took decades. Such an astonishing handiwork made Li Daoxuan sigh with emotion when he first entered the palace, and said that Taizong owed him again. A big favor.
Unfortunately, when he discovered it, it was just a step too late. Tianlong had been swallowed. The scene at this moment was just a reappearance.
People use calligraphy and painting to peel away bones, and calligraphy on the ground drives ghosts and gods. I think what was recorded in the book that day was this amazing formation that turned the clouds and rain, and played with the wind and clouds of the world.
Li Zhi stared blankly at the Tianlong being devoured, and felt a sudden pain in his heart. He was inexplicably sad. This was the feeling of the Li Tang royal family, and it couldn't be faked.
"National Master...what will happen if his destiny is swallowed up...?"
His voice was a little hoarse.
Li Daoxuan shook his head and said, "You will know soon."
Before long, the sound of horse hooves sounded and a voice shouted.
"Battle report!"
"Eight hundred miles urgent!"
A moment later, Wu Zetian ordered someone to fetch the battle report. As soon as she opened it, her pupils trembled.
She did not dare to delay and read to Li Daoxuan: "On July 14th, at Haishi, Qinling led tens of thousands of troops to attack the border again. General Xue Rengui had already prepared and led his troops to fight, but..."
Her voice trembled slightly.
"Meteorites fell from the sky and fell on our army. The Tang soldiers suffered numerous casualties and their formation collapsed. They were defeated by Qin Ling. General Xue Rengui disappeared...his whereabouts are unknown!"
Li Zhi was shocked, and he knelt there slumped, as if his backbone had been ripped away all of a sudden.
