Chapter 411 The treasure box is opened

Li Maozhen still holds great hope for the Longquan treasure, and still stubbornly believes that there is a secret in it that can turn things around.

Because he has spent ten years on this matter, the sunk cost is too high, the obsession is too deep, and there is no way to turn back.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to lend Qi's army to Li Xingyun to help him stabilize the situation, and stepped forward to share some of the more dangerous city defense tasks.

That is to say, with the support of Qi's generals, Li Xingyun was able to stabilize the situation temporarily.

The reason why Li Xingyun wants the Longquan Treasure is very simple. He wants to use the Longquan Treasure to divert the attention of both parties.

Let the two sides stop fighting temporarily and give the people of Chu land a chance to breathe.

The kings did not want to confront Li Xiang head-on and lose their own strength. They just did not want Li Xiang, a dragon, to enter the sea and try to lock him in the Chu land. As long as Li Xiang could not get out of the Chu land, he would not be able to find so many people.

Warriors, cultivate powerful warrior gods.

You can't raise a dragon by diving.

After all, the Weapon God Monster Altar is not a zombie virus, nor is it a method of raising corpses. It cannot make corpses walk, it can only train living people into invulnerable and powerful warrior gods.

Both Raojiang and the Southern Han Dynasty are remote and remote areas with few people and weak war potential. He can now gather 30,000 soldiers, which is already the limit. These 30,000 soldiers can be worth half a million troops.

If the army is forced to recruit troops again, the people in Li Xiang's territory will also boil with resentment. Those who are poor in literature and rich in martial arts, but who can reach the big stars, usually have followers and sects, and are considered powerful in the local area.

If he really wants to train all these people into military gods, then he will really become a loner and isolate himself from the people.

However, the god of war made by the weak civilians is not as strong as the warriors and soldiers, and cannot influence the situation of the battle.

The stronger the person, the stronger the God of War will be. In the original work, the five Li Xingyuns faced the God of War refined by the leader of Jiuli Village for the first time.

Chi Meng, Li Xingyun, Ji Ruxue, Zhang Zifan, who was in the middle heaven position, and Hou Qing, the corpse ancestor who was in the great heaven position, worked together to barely subdue him.

However, when faced with the army of soldiers, gods and monsters made by the Witch King Chi Li in the later period using ordinary people from Raojiang, they were able to defeat one against a hundred, helping Li Xingyun to delay and wait for the reinforcements brought by Hou Qing.

This fully illustrates that the altars of weapons, gods and monsters refined by ordinary people can only be used as cannon fodder and strong men who are not afraid of death and are ignorant. They are no longer invincible weapons that make the kings fearful and forced to unite.

Now the princes of the Central Plains have reached a tacit understanding to let the one with the strongest advantage go out first.

They are implementing a disguised form of wall-clearing tactics to prevent Li Xiang from obtaining any resources from the outside world, including population.

The purpose of ordinary wars is just for resources and population. After acquiring territory, the ruler will restore order to the territory as soon as possible.

If the territory in their hands is always in chaos, how can the lord make profits from it? The occupiers usually not only disturb the local order too much, but also impose some small favors to win people's hearts.

War brings benefits, but peace can bring cash.

But now the kings want to grind,

Since they are not fighting on their own territory, and the King of Chu is providing military supplies, the kings are naturally willing to accompany them. This war of attrition can last for at least a few months, and will not stop until the kings are worried that there may be changes in their territories.

It was impossible for Li Xiang to give in, and his soldier's morale would never drop. He continued to attack the city tirelessly again and again.

But the people of Chu State will suffer. Now Chu State is like a cold and huge millstone, and battles are going on every day, making it difficult for everyone to live in peace.

So Li Xingyun planned to divert their attention.

Phew~

The muttering of curses suddenly stopped, and Li Xingyun, who was not used to it for a while, also stopped thinking. As if waking up from a dream, he leaned over and asked:

"It's done?"

Li Maozhen opened her eyes and reached out to open the treasure box. Li Xingyun closed her eyes subconsciously.

Duan Chengtian once made it very clear that the Longquan treasure box was not locked, but it contained the Raojiang holy Gu. Anyone who looked directly at the holy Gu would be hallucinated and die.

Li Xingyun closed his eyes and only heard Li Maozhen say calmly: "It has been successful."

His eyelids were raised slightly, and he carefully exposed a slit. He glanced sideways and saw that there was nothing unusual about the Longquan Treasure Box. Only then did Li Xingyun open his eyes normally and look directly at the Longquan Treasure Box.

"It's actually a clay doll?"

Inside the Longquan treasure box, there was actually a lifelike clay doll. There was a purple flower clinging to the clay doll, which withered quickly after opening the box. There was also a layer of soil on the bottom of the box as nutrients.

He touched some soil in the box with his finger, rubbed it with his hands, and smelled the fragrance of the flowers. Li Maozhen, who had mastered the art of Gu in Twelve Cave, immediately identified the origin of the soil and sneered:

"So that's it. These are the rot soil and mandala flowers in Shu. It seems that the next clue to Longquan's treasure is in Shu!!"

Li Xingyun picked up the clay doll and thought: "This doll is so finely carved and has a unique face. It is not a traditional clay doll. It must be carved based on the appearance of a certain person. We have to find him."

"It's just that Shu is a vast land, and it's not easy to find someone."

Li Maozhen sneered: "As long as you have the right method, it's not difficult to find someone."

Li Xingyun said: "What can King Qi do?"

Li Maozhen closed the Longquan treasure box: "Before I entered the Twelve Cave, I knew that there was a man named Wen Tao. He was known as the Saint of Thieves. He was proficient in Feng Shui and Bagua. He was the best at exploring caves to find people. He could find them whether alive or dead."

"There is a bad person around you. The bad person's intelligence network covers the world, so you must have heard of him. This clay doll is hard to find, but Wen Tao is much easier to find."

Shangguan Yunque came to join Li Xingyun a few days ago, and relied on his position among bad people to help Li Xingyun find a lot of information.

But unfortunately, the commander-in-chief prohibited bad people from helping Li Xiang and Li Xingyun to detect intelligence on the other side, so Li Xingyun could only rely on spies to explore the dynamics of Li Xiang's army of soldiers.

Li Xingyun said: "Okay, I will look for Wen Tao's whereabouts. After gathering the people, we will set off to Shu."

Li Maozhen said in surprise: "We? You want to go too? Can't you leave here? If you leave, you will definitely arouse the vigilance of the group of people outside."

Li Xingyun laughed at himself: "What can I do here? I can only be a guerrilla general, putting out fires everywhere."

"But if I leave in a big way, the place may become quiet, and even Li Xiang will pay attention to my whereabouts."

Li Maozhen didn't understand Li Xingyun's thoughts: "A woman's kindness."

Li Xingyun said: "Emperor Taizong once said that the people can carry the boat or capsize it. Why don't you try to appease the people more?"

"Prince Qi, you are really not as good as your sister in this regard."

Li Maozhen obviously didn't listen: "I won't bother Your Highness with the internal affairs of Qi."

······

After the Raojiang Holy Gu was unlocked, inside a cave in Shu.

The thirteen- or fourteen-year-old boy from Raojiang, sleeping in the palm of a giant statue, woke up.
