After hearing what Batulu said, Li Zhongyong didn't answer any more. He couldn't explain it to Batulu at all. Furthermore, it was indeed difficult to refute what Batulu said. Since it was a divine weapon, why were the two trapped? in.
"Lao Wu, do you want to go in and find out?" Li Zhongyong looked at Changsheng again.
Without waiting for Changsheng to answer, Chen Liqiu spoke first, "Not everyone is interested in the creation of the machine. After five calamities, I am weak and in urgent need of recuperation. Let's go. Go out first and come back later."
"I can still hold on, it doesn't hurt to go down and have a look." Changsheng said with a smile.
"There's nothing interesting to see, and it doesn't work. It's all in vain." Chen Liqiu jumped down while holding Chang Sheng in his hand.
Batulu followed closely behind. Upon seeing this, Datou hurriedly picked up the two copper rods that Chang Sheng had put aside, handed them to Li Zhongyong with both hands, and then jumped off the disc with the three of them.
Li Zhongyong had no choice but to put away the two copper rods and walked out of the back hall with everyone.
Although it was pitch dark outside the hall, it was less oppressive and dull inside the hall. Everyone used their body skills to fly southward. After a while, they left the underground city and entered the long forest passage dug by craftsmen.
Staying in a dark environment for a long time and suddenly returning to a brightly lit place can easily lead to blindness. Everyone knows this, so when they arrived at the cave entrance, they did not jump out immediately, but stayed briefly to recover and adapt.
Changsheng took the opportunity to tell the two of them how he escaped from death. Although he tried to be concise and concise, the matter was too bizarre, and it took him a stick of incense to explain the whole story clearly.
It was already evening after crossing the waterfall and returning outside. Changsheng left his bulk to escort the gold while he, Batulu, Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu returned to Chang'an first.
Yang Kai and others had been waiting anxiously, and when they saw Chang Sheng and others returning together, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They did not expect that the rescue process would go so smoothly, nor did they expect it to be so fast.
When Chang Sheng left, he took away the snacks and fruits in the room. When he came back, the snacks and fruits were placed again. This is the treatment that a prince deserves. These things will be prepared and replaced every day regardless of whether he is in the palace or not.
The four of them sat around the table and really relaxed when they picked up the tea cups. Changsheng said, "Second senior brother, third senior brother, thanks to senior brother this time, if he hadn't discovered the mute who escaped, I wouldn't have known about you." There was an accident.”
Being praised again, Batulu felt a little embarrassed, "Oh, why are you always talking about these things? It makes me look like an outsider."
"Lao Wu is right, thanks to you this time." Li Zhongyong said.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about other things." Batulu waved his hands repeatedly.
"Senior Brother, are you tired?" Changsheng asked casually.
"You're not tired, what's wrong?" Batulu asked.
Chang Sheng said, "Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother survived the catastrophe, so they should have a good celebration. If you are not tired, just ask the servants in the mansion to kill the pig, and we will cook the meat for dinner tonight."
Batulu didn't know that Changsheng was trying to get rid of him. Hearing Changsheng's words, he went out to kill pigs.
After Batulu left, Changsheng raised his head and looked at Li Zhongyong, "Second senior brother, can that great wheel of reincarnation really reverse the universe and travel through the past and present?"
"It should be possible, but it is too old and the copper rod that stores the spiritual energy has expired," Li Zhongyong said. "I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to activate the Great Reincarnation Disk."
"Second Senior Brother, it has nothing to do with the age. The reason why the Great Reincarnation Disk cannot be activated is because one of the copper rods is fake." Changsheng whispered. The reason why he pushed away Batulu was because he was worried that Batulu would know There is still a possibility that the Great Reincarnation Disk will be activated. This guy has a simple mind. If he accidentally lets it slip, it will be known to the world.
Hearing Changsheng's words, Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu frowned at the same time. Chen Liqiu asked casually, "How do you know?"
Immediately, Changsheng briefly told the story of encountering Japanese pirates in Shenzhou and grabbing a copper rod from the Japanese pirates, and then continued, "At that time, we only knew that the copper rod could hurt the earthly branches, and we did not know that it was the Great Reincarnation Disk. This thing was brought over from Japan by the Japanese pirates. The reason why they have this thing is undoubtedly because Xu Fu secretly changed it and took it away when he set out."
After Changsheng finished speaking, Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu looked at each other. Previously, they only thought that the spiritual energy stored in the copper rods was insufficient, which caused the Great Reincarnation Disk to fail to activate. They never thought that one of the copper rods was fake.
Changsheng said again, "Second Senior Brother, this copper rod is in Yang Kai's hand right now. I will ask him to hand it over to you later. However, you must be careful when using the Great Reincarnation Disk. You must know that God's will cannot be violated. Anyone who goes against Yin and Yang will Everything may be punished by God.”
Li Zhongyong nodded slowly, "What you said makes sense. In fact, the reason why we want to use the Great Reincarnation Disk to go back to the past is to save your life. Now that you are alive and well, we can't use the Great Reincarnation Disk."
Changsheng picked up the teapot and refilled the tea for Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu, then put down the teapot and asked casually, "Where did that big reincarnation disk come from?"
"The specific origin is unknown. I only know that it is an ancient artifact made of celestial black iron." Li Zhongyong said.
After Li Zhongyong finished speaking, Chen Liqiu said, "This Great Samsara Disk is very likely to be able to go back and forth. The reason why Xu Fu replaced one of the copper pillars back then was probably because he was worried that after he escaped, Qin Shihuang would use the Great Samsara Disk in anger. , sending people back to the past would be detrimental to him."
"It's possible," Changsheng nodded and said, "I didn't expect that after more than a thousand years, the Japanese pirates would bring this copper rod back to China."
Li Zhongyong said, "Give me the copper pillar in Yang Kai's hand, and I will study it carefully. Of course, it is best not to use it, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of the worst, in case something serious happens." If something goes wrong, we can also try to use the Great Reincarnation to go back to the past and try to remedy the situation.”
"Okay." Changsheng nodded.
After Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu drank tea and began to eat snacks and fruits on the table, Chang Sheng told the story of Li Maozhen and Li Bao teaming up to force the palace, as well as the capture of Qingyang by Li Maozhen and the current bad situation of the Tang Dynasty, including I want to raise rice from the Western Regions.
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, Li Zhongyong said, "Qingyang is an important border town, guarding the chokepoint of the westward and eastward movement. If you want to transfer food from the Western Regions, you must first regain Qingyang."
"I know," Changsheng said, "The war in the southeast is tense right now, and Master Zhang has no time to distract himself, and he can't give me troops, so I went to Shuzhou a few days ago and met with General Qin and others. , at this time Shuzhou’s 20,000 troops are already on their way.”
"Are you going to personally lead the troops to attack Qingyang?" Chen Liqiu asked casually.
"Yes," Changsheng nodded, "but before that I have to go to Gupo Mountain in Lingnan. Gupo Mountain is where one of the earthly branches is located. The main force of the Japanese pirates are gathered in that area at this time. I hate the Japanese pirates deeply. There are so many It is rare for Japanese pirates to get together. I am going to move reinforcements to the Shaolin Temple and ask the purple energy masters from the Shaolin Temple to come out and help us. We will rush to Gupo Mountain with us and kill all the Japanese pirates there. If things go well enough, after this battle, Even if the Japanese pirates have never been completely wiped out, they no longer have the strength to cause trouble."
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, Chen Liqiu said, "Time is too tight. If it is true as you said, the main force of the Japanese pirates is there, the battle at Gupo Mountain will be extremely brutal and last for a long time. You will not be able to come back in time." Lead the troops to the west."
"There should be enough time." Changsheng said.
Li Zhongyong said, "You are in urgent need of recuperation now, and you can't be too tired. Let's do this. You take people to Lingnan and Qingyang, and Lao San and I will help you fight."
Changsheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's okay. You lead the troops westward first. After the battle at Gupo Mountain is over, I will go and meet you."
"You don't need to be there, the second child and I are enough." Chen Liqiu said lightly.
"It's not that I don't believe you and the second senior brother," Changsheng said, "but it's just that we have managed to get here today. Although the current situation in Datang is still not optimistic, I have already seen the dawn of dawn. When the situation stabilizes, I Just be prepared to retreat bravely, I don’t want any of us to have an accident during this period.”
Hearing Changsheng's words, Chen Liqiu curled his lips and smiled and said, "The dawn of dawn? You are too optimistic. You are retreating bravely. Believe it or not, you can't retreat."
"It should be possible," Changsheng immediately told the two of them about the great victory in Luoyang and Long Haotian's loss of money to eliminate disasters, and then said, "As long as the main force of the Japanese pirates can be wiped out in the battle at Gupo Mountain, we can capture Qingyang again. By opening up the channels for transporting grain from the Western Regions, the pressure on the imperial court will not be so great."
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, Chen Liqiu once again showed a questioning look, but before he could speak, Li Zhongyong stopped him with his eyes and turned to Chang Sheng and said, "As the saying goes, haste makes waste. The situation in the Tang Dynasty at this time is not two or three times a day." It is caused by God, and it is difficult to eradicate the change overnight. We know that you are under a lot of pressure, but you must not act too hastily, and proceed step by step and steadily."
After Li Zhongyong finished speaking, Chen Liqiu said, "I'll tell you the truth. When we were trapped in the Great Reincarnation Disk, we thought we were going to die. We both thought a lot at that time. No one knows what will happen tomorrow or the accident." If we come first, don’t try to save all of us. As the saying goes, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is in heaven. If one day we really leave first, don’t be too sad..."
