Chapter 939: The Emperors
Li Qi and Zhang Zong were facing the ancient earth god, Xiang Liu.
This nine-headed snake coiled its body and exhaled poisonous gas.
The poisonous gas filled thousands of miles, wheat did not grow, leaves withered and yellowed, grass did not sprout, and turnips had no roots.
The nightmares gnawed the souls of countless yellow miasma, hungry monkeys did not eat, morning birds did not dare to fly, the miasma was particularly evil, there was something in the air, its shape could not be seen, it made a gurgling sound, like soup poisoning, hot and steaming.
However, these were nothing to Li Qi and Zhang Zong, but they made the lives within more than 10,000 miles around a little bit miserable.
Fortunately, on the Shinto side, there were very few real mortal lives, most of whom had the qualifications to become gods, or were already seventh-grade, so Xiang Liu's breathing was a bit dangerous, but it could be regarded as their opportunity.
If they could get something from it, they would benefit for a lifetime.
And next to it was the territory of the Xiang Liu clan, which was also a great tonic for them, so Li Qi did not ask the other party not to breathe.
This is just a breath. If Xiang Liu was bled according to the legend, no wonder every place where the blood touched had to be dug out and could not be left.
This is really...
"So, what else can you improve for me besides combat power?" Li Qi said.
"It's very simple. Today's Shinto is an ally of Wu Dao, right? Haotian has always been very kind to you witches." Xiang Liu mentioned.
This is a fact.
Haotian is very gentle to all living beings.
Although witches may not be gentle, in the final analysis, witches also hope that all living beings exist. Wushou likes a more diverse universe, and this attitude coincides with Haotian.
Therefore, Haotian has a good relationship with the witch gods, and the relationship between Wu Dao and Shinto is also OK.
Including the spirit path, the demon path, the Buddha, the Taoist sect, although they are not compatible, they will not conflict.
In contrast, the human path and the demon path actually do things that Haotian does not want to see, so that the gods often have gaps with the human path, and Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva is a typical example.
"But Haotian also has things to do, especially he needs to discuss many things with 'Taiyi'. The lineage of the star officials and some of the earth gods are not so peaceful, right?" Xiangliu said.
"You don't know what's going on outside, but you seem to know a lot about the inside of the gods." Li Qi suddenly pointed out one thing.
Xiangliu admitted frankly: "I don't know about the outside because Xiangliu doesn't have other three-grade gods. I can only know about the outside through Xiangliu. Without the three-grade gods, I can't see the truth. It's no different from a blind person."
"However, Xiangliu is still a lineage of earth gods after all, and I'm not really dead, so I can still understand a little bit about the things inside the gods."
Li Qi nodded to show his understanding.
Without the three-grade gods, there is no way to explore many things. Xiangliu can only rely on Xiangliu's people, such as Shen Yijun, to understand the outside world, so it is indeed impossible to understand many things.
It's just... It sounds like Xiangliu still has connections with high-level gods. Is it inside the lineage of earth gods? Xiangliu is a god of the earth. Could it be that the lineage of the gods of the earth is the one that wants to destroy mortals?
Not really. Li Qi is a Zhuren of the lineage of the gods of the earth. Many of the gods of the earth he has come into contact with are easy to talk to. Compared with the high and mighty gods of heaven, the gods of the earth are usually closer to mortals and have better feelings.
We often hear that gods sacrifice themselves for mortals. Most of these gods are gods of the earth, the local gods of mountains and rivers.
Xiangliu is a god of the earth who wants to destroy mortals. There are really few people like Xiangliu who want to destroy mortals.
"So, if you unseal it, Haotian will be much more relaxed. This should be more valuable than combat power, right?" Xiangliu said.
But Li Qi raised his eyebrows and made an unbelievable voice: "Just you?"
That's right, Li Qi was not polite.
Just you?
You, Xiangliu, are only a third-grade, why? If unsealing a third-grade can make the lineage of the gods give up the pressure on Haotian, then you think too highly of yourself.
To be honest, is Xiang Liu's death really that important to the entire Shinto? The third rank is powerful, but that is also a comparison. In the confrontation between the two divine forces of Haotian and Miejue Mortal, Xiang Liu is definitely not a big force.
"Do you know who the leaders of our lineage are?" Xiang Liu asked.
Li Qi shook his head of course. How could he know this? This is a secret of Shinto.
Xiang Liu had expected this answer, so he immediately replied: "Emperor Hundun, Gonggong, Emperor Jun."
Li Qi took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
Although he was prepared, this answer was really impactful.
However, since the three names have appeared, there is no need to say more about the rest. Li Qi has completely understood what Xiang Liu wanted to say.
The first thing to say is Emperor Hundun, the central emperor among the emperors.
As the central emperor, the title alone can be imagined. It is another person who competes with Taiyi and Huanglong for food, about the 'central' scramble.
However, it is obvious to the naked eye that Emperor Hundun has never been able to compete, and he should be losing power now.
Emperor Hundun... And, are the Hundun among the Four Evils equivalent? I have heard before that the Four Evils seem to be supporters of this lineage.
And then there is Emperor Jun.
Does Emperor Jun support the destruction of mortals? Li Qi has never heard of this, but, after careful consideration... it seems to be very normal.
Emperor Jun had a son, the Ten Suns, which were ten golden crows.
The ten suns hung high in the sky, burning crops, killing plants and trees, and leaving the people with nothing to eat.
Like the floods caused by Gonggong, Emperor Jun also caused droughts for his sons, all in order to destroy mortals.
Later, Emperor Yao took action and ordered Yi to shoot them, causing nine of the ten suns to fall and quelling the drought.
And it was not just that. At that time, there were also monsters such as Yali, Zaochi, Jiuying, Dafeng, Fengxi, and Xiushe who were ready to destroy the mortal world. I think they were the same as Xiangliu.
But they were all shot by Emperor Yao and Yi, preventing the destruction from happening.
So, Emperor Yao supported mortals, and Emperor Jun wanted to destroy mortals...
Then, there is no need to say more about Gonggong's lineage.
Floods, droughts, and... the man-eating beast Hun Dun and his cronies...
Are these the forces that want to exterminate the mortal faction?
So, according to Li Qi's idea, if Emperor Hundun goes to fight for the position of 'Central' at this time, can he help Haotian? After all, the fight between Taiyi and Huanglong does not seem so peaceful. Will Emperor Hundun be beaten to death if he goes in?
However, from another perspective, this may be a variable. Taiyi and Huanglong may start to be wary of each other because of the emergence of variables.
When two tigers fight, one must be injured, but if there is a jackal watching next to them, then the two tigers may give up the fight.
As we all know, the most stable shape is a triangle. If Emperor Hundun joins in, Taiyi and Huanglong may really stop fighting, because if they start at this time, what if they are besieged?
Moreover, Xiangliu is Gonggong's subordinate, and Li Qi is Gonggong's nephew.
So, is rescuing Xiangliu a kind of goodwill from Zhurong's lineage to Gonggong's lineage? Is this a sign of a happy reconciliation between the two sides?
Emperor Jun, Emperor Yao...
Gonggong, Zhurong...
Emperor Hundun, Huanglong, Taiyi...
Li Qi felt that his head was beginning to hurt. He always felt that the involvement was too great and he was afraid that it would be difficult to make a decision.
If he helped Xiangliu and got the opportunity to ease the relationship between Xiangliu and Gonggong, and let the gods who wanted to destroy the mortals... call them evil gods.
If the evil gods were willing to help the witches, what was their reason? It could not be because of Xiangliu, nor could it be because of the relationship between Li Qi and Zhurong.
At this level, everything must be related to the "Tao". They must have a practical goal and cognition to form the Tao.
People of the second and third ranks cannot be bound by interests. Interests can only drive mortals. For these evil gods, common goals and visions are the key to cooperation and action.
Then, this matter must be related to "destroying mortals".
Can cooperating with witches and liberating Xiangliu help "destroying mortals"?
Li Qi's thoughts were spinning, and many clues were rolling in his mind.
Xiangliu did not speak either. He could see that Li Qi was thinking.
For a third-rank person, the words just now were enough. I think Li Qi could guess what was going on behind the scenes. He just needed to wait for the answer.
Li Qi was in deep thought.
However, at this time, Zhang Zong suddenly appeared behind Li Qi and patted Li Qi on the shoulder.
Li Qi turned around and glanced at Zhang Zong.
Zhang Zong immediately said, "Do you think it has anything to do with the Taoist sect?"
This sentence made Li Qi frown even tighter.
It was numb. If he joined the Taoist sect, it would make things more complicated. However, he did not know much about the Taoist sect, so he looked at Zhang Zong and said, "Just say whatever you want to say."
Zhang Zong replied, "The Taoist sect is not interested in participating in the internal disputes of the gods. The reason we are here is because some of the actions of the Xianshi sect involve too much, and we must stop them, otherwise the entire Taoist sect will be dragged onto the chariot of humanity, which Penglai does not want to see."
This statement obviously revealed another secret.
The Xianshi Sect, they have gone too far in the human way, so that they may even drag the entire Dao sect into it. Before that, the Yinshi Sect needs to stop the Xianshi Sect from taking further actions.
The Yinshi Sect is just like Shen Shuibi. This group of salted fish is not willing to participate in any form of struggle. They just want to seek Taoism and cultivate immortality by themselves, and no one should disturb me.
However, when the peace is disturbed, they don’t mind taking action.
So, the question is.
What did the Xianshi Sect do to force the Yinshi Sect to join the war? Is it something necessary?
Li Qi didn’t know, he was waiting for Zhang Zong’s answer.
And Zhang Zong said: "The Taiyin Star Lord is Chang Xi, do you know him?"
Li Qi nodded, Chang Xi, the great witch, of course he knew him, and he even drank his wine.
"She is not only the Taiyin Star Lord, she also has a half body which is Xihe. Her husband... is Dijun. It is she and Dijun who gave birth to the ten suns and twelve moons together."
The ten suns and twelve moons are all descendants of Dijun, and they are all born by the power of Dijun and Xihe... Changxi. Changxi is the moon god, and Xihe is the sun god.
"Wait, you said half body?" Li Qi keenly realized what Zhang Zong meant.
Lady Luofu once held a banquet with Changxi! *(See Chapter 701 for details)
The heel of Luofu Mountain lies in the Tao of Yin and Yang. The so-called "Luoshan" and "Fushan" combine to form Luofu Mountain. This is the combination of the two mountains of Yin and Yang. At the same time, the opportunity found by the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron is also the "Sun and Moon Journey".
The essence of the journey of the sun and the moon is movement, and Chenji is the fundamental core.
Does this have anything to do with ‘Xihe’?
Chang Xi and Xi He were once one and the same, but are they not one now?
Zhang Zong nodded: "Yes, Chang Xi and Xihe were separated. Her original name was 'Xi'. The record is: Xi, the person who created the calendar, admired the sky like the sky, and the calendar resembled the sun, moon and stars, and taught it to people." hour."
"Do you understand now?"
Li Qi's eyes were shaking, he really understood now.
That is to say...
Luofushan now joins the witchcraft and fights against humanity with Wu Jin.
The god named Xi was split apart for some reason and turned into two goddesses, Chang Xi and Xihe.
And Xi is Di Jun’s wife.
Di Jun... I just thought about Di Jun's role in unblocking Xiang Liu——
Damn, there are too many characters, the relationships are too complicated, and there are too many things involved. Li Qi’s brain is about to explode.
If there were so many relationships among mortals, that would be okay.
But when it comes to powerful people, behind each powerful person is a network of relationships, involving too many things. One powerful person can even affect many channels, and different channels will have different reactions. The people below, the involved world, the collision of many ideas, the choices of different people...
Tsk.
So, Li Qi gave up thinking alone and gestured to Zhang Zong, asking him to say a few words.
Zhang Zong did not irresponsibly ask Li Qi to think for himself, but said: "Personally speaking, I think Di Jun actually doesn't mind taking down Sun Moon Xinglu and giving it to 'Xi'. Xi can also use it.”
"So Luofu Mountain is related to Chang Xi? Is it because Luofu Mountain also wants to borrow power?" Li Qi guessed.
If Luofu Mountain wants to borrow the power of the gods, it is not impossible. They do not necessarily have to put their treasure on Wushen Mountain. Although it is a certainty that the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron will lose the Sun and Moon Walk, who will give this thing to? There is no definite number yet.
Zhang Zongze said: "I can't say, but as far as Xi is concerned, she has been separated now. Maybe she doesn't need to get the sun and moon travel directly. Is it enough to just let her see her once? Maybe, I can let her What about reorganization? The combination of yin and yang is the fundamental method of Luofu Mountain, isn’t it? Isn’t that what the essence of the sun and moon around you is like?
Zhang Zong's answer made Li Qi lower his head and ponder.
What Zhang Zong said is not unreasonable.
If he did this, Di Jun... would be very willing to take action, right?
