I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 277 The Secret of the Fish's Belly, Heavenly Soldiers Pulling Out Tongues, Hanging from the Sky; Lingxiao Jade Emperor, the Head of the Nine-sided Heavenly Palace

Qin Ba Nu took away "life span" and "time", while Que Que Tian took away "fate" and "virtue".

I don’t know whether I can get the car or go up to the tower.

But this Fish-Belly Sword, which had been with Jin Chan for the longest time, was actually taking away his flesh and blood.

Every time you cut yourself with the sword, you hurt others by an inch.

Along the way, Jin Chan had already sacrificed countless blood and flesh to the fish.

But then again.

"For an ordinary person, even if he cut off a hundred kilograms of flesh and organs, he would not die. Even the belly of the fish with human skin would probably not be opened. Is this fish belly sword really for ordinary people?"

The golden cicada floated in front of a huge bronze wall with strange patterns carved on it, which reached up to the sky, reached the underworld, and had the Milky Way running through the middle.

Perhaps because of the perfect liberation of the fish's belly for the first time, Jin Chan's consciousness became distracted after he resolved Li Mu's "Picturesque Central Plains".

It was just like when he pulled the crossbow string of Qin Ba Crossbow before.

"What on earth is this thing? Is it the belly of a fish? But how can a fish's belly be a wall?"

Because the wall was too huge, even though Jin Chan was there, he could not see all the words engraved on it.

Even if we increased the distance and flew for several hours, we could still only see one stroke clearly.

And so, I don’t know how much time passed.

Jin Chan stood between heaven and earth, and only then could he vaguely see the words "bing" and "ku".

Moreover, this thing that looks like a wall seems more like a door.

However, if the door is so huge, then behind the door there must be a vast world.

Just as Jin Chan was sighing and thinking, he saw a crack appear in the middle of the gate.

Although it is not very big compared to the towering Hyogo Gate, it is just a small hole, but for ordinary people it is like a mountain covering their faces.

Out of curiosity about what was in the armory, Jin Chan flew over decisively without even thinking about it.

He looked inside intently.

"This"

Looking at the scene in front of him, even Lu Yue, the Plague Emperor Haotian, and Jin Chan of Buddhism couldn't help but gasp.

The interior of the cave was as empty as the silent sea, and a chilly wind blew out.

Although it was foggy inside, it felt like being in the universe.

But one can vaguely see a huge jade stele with the words "Heavenly Soldiers" engraved on it floating in front.

Behind the jade stele, there are rows of people wearing armor, shaped like hundreds of feet tall, with strange faces, looking up at the sky, with long tongues pulled out of their mouths, as if hanging in the air.

All kinds of weapons either pierced through the head or penetrated into the body.

It’s just like the rows of bacon hung outside the houses to dry in the wind every winter in the folk villages.

And these neat rows and rows of soldiers hung up, so long and bottomless that it seemed impossible to see the end, could not be less than a million at a glance.

"Hyogo? It turns out that the 'bing' in Hyogo does not refer to 'qi' but 'shi'!"

Jin Chan frowned and thought, but he was confused.

If as Bai Longju said before, the number of immortals in Jiufang Heavenly Palace is not large, then what exactly are these incalculable heavenly soldiers and generals?
Just as Jin Chan was thinking.

He suddenly noticed a familiar breath coming from behind him.

"Who?"

Jin Chan drew out the Fish Belly Sword out of habit, but found that his waist was empty.

When he turned around, he saw Lin Yuxi naked with her arms open, throwing herself into his arms.

"By order of Lingxiao Jade Emperor and Tushita Laojun, now is not the time to open the armory. I hope Master Jinchan will come again in the future."

Although this person looks exactly like Lin Yuxi, his temperament and speech are completely different.

Open your eyes again.

Jin Chan returned to the border of the Tang Dynasty.

"Boss, you finally woke up. If you didn't wake up, these guys would have almost castrated me!"

After rubbing his hazy eyes, he saw the huge horse face of Bailongju, only an inch away from Jinchan's nose.

A string of crystal clear snot hung from his nostril and almost dripped down.

"Brother Jin, this old white-haired guy is drunk and messed up things. You decide whether to stew it or roast it. But I heard that you have to castrate it first so that it won't smell fishy."

A few steps away, Yan was standing in front of the hall, sharpening a long knife.

Xiao Luoyang and Li Yingtai, who were standing beside him, were standing aside.

However, after seeing Jin Chan wake up, they both ran over at the same time.

"Jin Chan, are you finally awake?"

Two hours have passed since the end of the war.

The fish belly that had originally merged with Jin Chan was separated from the body and restored to its original state after Yan raised his sword and chopped off Jin Chan's right arm in front of the hall. However, the crack on the sword edge still existed.

"Li Mu withdrew his troops?"

Rubbing his swollen head, Jin Chan still felt a little tired.

This feeling is similar to the first time the final solution was released. I guess it will be restored after a while.

"Well, after the 300,000 Tang troops arrived at the border, Li Mu immediately chose to retreat."

"Jinchan, I'm sorry."

When he said the second sentence, Li Yingtai lowered his head and his voice became much softer.

The Queen Mother of Tang colluded with the general of Zhao State and killed Jin Chan on the way.

Not to mention the relationship between Jin Chan and Li Yingtai, his identity as an envoy from the State of Qin alone is enough to be considered a huge disaster.

"Yingtai, as the King of Tang, if you cannot keep the royal power firmly in your hands, unexpected disasters will surely occur in the future."

With Xiao Luoyang's help, Jin Chan stood up with difficulty.

He did not intend to pursue Wu Li's previous actions.

This is not just because Wu Li is Li Yingtai's mother.

But Wu Li did not pose any threat to him. On the contrary, this time she joined forces with Li Mu to kill him, which could become a reason for Qin to send troops to Wei or Tang.

After all, some time ago, Han Nian'er had already persuaded King Han Han An to agree that both countries should send troops to Luoyang at the same time.

As long as the Qin army captured Luoyang City in the future, they could directly march troops to the capital of Wei State with justification.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Ying Lou marries Han Nian'er as the Princess of Qin.

"Qianniu Guards, from today on, you only need to ensure the Queen Mother's safety, but you must not obey her orders. In addition, if any minister in the court meets with the Queen Mother in the future, they must inform me."

Li Yingtai called the leader of Qianniu Guard and gave him orders with a cold face.

"I obey my orders."

Wu Li, who was far away, turned even more pale when she heard what Li Yingtai said.

Wu Li's voice was trembling, and she felt a little unwilling.

She had finally become the empress dowager who was above everyone else in the Tang Dynasty, but in this case, wouldn't she just have the title of empress dowager in vain?

"Mother, Yingtai knows that you have been worried for half your life, and everything you have done is for me, but it is better for you not to get involved in the affairs of the country. As for the future of the Tang Dynasty, Yingtai has his own plans in mind."

Li Yingtai let out a sigh, then knelt in front of Wu Li and said.

However, although Li Yingtai already knew the outcome of what would happen to the Tang and Qin states in the future, he had not actually made a decision.

"Well, it's getting late. Chang'an cannot be without a king to guard it. Yingtai, you should return early."

After feeling that his body had recovered a little, Jin Chan went straight to Bai Longju and kicked the horse's butt with a flying kick.

"If you do that again, I'll stew you."

After saying goodbye to Li Yingtai.

Jin Chan, Tang Qianyan and Xiao Luoyang mounted on the broad back of the white dragon horse and galloped towards Hangu Pass.

"Yingtai, do you really want to treat our mother like this?"

On the way back to Chang'an, Li Yingtai and Wu Li rode in the same carriage.

"Mother, why are you so confused? After the destruction of Qi, Qin was far ahead of other countries in terms of national strength and military strength. Even if you left the Golden Cicada in the Tang Dynasty and caused the King of Qin to not dare to send troops, do you think a man like Li Mu would let the Tang Dynasty go?"

Li Yingtai personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Wu Li with both hands.

"Although there have been wars among the seven states in the Central Plains, none of them have been destroyed. As long as the King of Qin gives up the eastward march, Tang, Zhao, Wei, Han, and Chu will naturally live in peace."

Wu Li took the teacup, but did not drink it. Instead, she put it aside.

"Mother, since the precedent of Qi's destruction has been set, it cannot be stopped. Let alone Han and Wei, Zhao and Chu are both great powers in the Central Plains. After thirteen years of wasted time, our Tang Dynasty seems to have recovered its heyday, but it is internally empty. In addition, the Tang Dynasty is located between the two great powers of Zhao and Chu, and there are no Central Plains soldiers guarding the country. If the Tang Dynasty loses Qin, it will be isolated and helpless. I am afraid that within a year, Chang'an will be destroyed."

Li Yingtai sighed.

Although these words were unpleasant to hear, they became true after the destruction of Qi.

In the Battle of Hangu Pass, Tang betrayed Chu and Qi, causing Chu to cede the three cities of Lin, Le and Liang. Chu also offered the Lanjing Cart to Denglou. If the powerful Chu had the chance, it would surely send troops to attack.

"Yingtai, are you really going to give up the ancient territory of the Tang Dynasty?"

Wu Li was still unwilling to give in.

"Mother, if Qin really unifies Zhao, Wei, Han, and Chu in the future, the Tang Dynasty will have no other choice but to surrender!"

"But if Qin fails, it will be a great opportunity for our Tang Dynasty to expand its territory."

"It's just that the Tang Dynasty originally had some time to station troops and cultivate land to restore national strength. But if the King of Qin knew about your actions, no one would come to help even if we send troops to destroy the Tang Dynasty now."

As the King of Tang, Li Yingtai would naturally not give up the foundation of the Tang Dynasty easily.

However, it would not be possible for the Qin State to unify the country overnight if it went eastward.

these years.

As long as the Tang Dynasty improves people's livelihood, it can accumulate considerable national strength within five years.

If Qin was driven back to Hangu Pass in the future, Tang could take advantage of the exhaustion of Zhao and Chu to attack them, thus ensuring that even without Qin as an ally, Tang could still gain a foothold in the Central Plains.

"Yingtai, is it really my mother's fault?"

After listening to Li Yingtai's words, Wu Li suddenly came to her senses and realized that her daughter was not someone who would abandon her country for love.

Everything she did could be said to be the best way for the Tang Kingdom to survive in the future.

"Mother, you really made a mistake this time. Now it all depends on what the King of Qin will decide after Jin Chan returns to Xianyang!"

Li Yingtai sighed.

If she had a choice, she didn't want to be the king of a fallen country.

But sometimes, destiny is hard to defy, and not one person can resist it.

Moreover, Li Yingtai could not do such a thing as sacrificing millions of innocent people in vain and fighting a life-and-death battle with the State of Qin just for the dignity of the royal family.

"Yingtai, I."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Wu Li seemed to hesitate, but after a pause and thinking, she continued speaking.

"Yingtai, do you still remember what you told me about the little girl named Luoyang, whose fate was incomplete?"

"My mother once met two people among the people, named Chunfeng and Tiangang. They are said to have the ability to change fate. Why don't you send them to Xianyang? Perhaps because of this, the King of Qin will not blame me and send troops to attack Tang."

Wu Li thought about it and decided to tell the story.

"What? Mom, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Although Li Yingtai was concerned about state affairs, Xiao Luoyang was also his good friend.

And he also knew what Xiao Luoyang meant to Jin Chan.

No matter from which perspective, she will definitely help as long as she has the ability.

"They are both in Chang'an right now. When you return, you can have them go to Xianyang as Tang envoys."

"When I return to Chang'an, I will draft a royal decree."

Say it.

Li Yingtai called Qin Qiong who was outside the carriage, and after a brief negotiation, asked him to return to Chang'an first to find the two men according to Wu Li's description and invite them into the palace.

the other side.

The white dragon colt knew that it was in the wrong this time, so it put all its strength into it, and in less than half a day, it carried the three people back to Hangu Pass.

"Bai Mao, is Ling Xiao's Jade Emperor one of the Nine-sided Heavenly Palace?"

"Ling Xiao, Jade Emperor? Boy, how did you know?"

Because of Lu Yue, Jin Chan already knew four of them: Jiulong Island, Tushita Palace, Buddhism, and the Nine-Directions Palace in the underworld.

However, Bai Longju never mentioned the Lingxiao Palace, which has the most lofty status, and the Jade Emperor, the ruler inside.

Seeing Bai Longju's astonished expression, Jin Chan slowly told him everything that had happened during his previous trance.

"What the hell, what the hell, what on earth are these two old men, the Jade Emperor and Laojun, going to do?"

At this time, the white dragon horse pushed its two hind legs onto the ground, stood up on the spot like a human, and walked back and forth in Jin Chan's tent.

The two front hooves were covering the horse's big face, with a solemn expression, as if a little at a loss.

"Who is this Ling Xiao Yu Huang?"

Jin Chan asked.

"Although the Nine Palaces each occupy one side of the heaven and earth, in reality there is a slight distinction between the upper and lower. Ling Xiao is the nominal leader of the Nine Palaces, and the Jade Emperor is the master of Ling Xiao."

"Lingxiao is as big as the universe and the stars, and each is protected by four heavenly gates. And the old guy Yuhuang is even more powerful than the three Buddhas in Buddhism."

The more Bai Longju thought about it, the more confused he became.

If what Jin Chan said was true, the fish's belly seemed to be tailor-made for him, then the Jade Emperor and Laojun seemed to have predicted everything that would happen before Jin Chan appeared.

Moreover, even if all the immortals in the Jiufang Heavenly Palace were added together, the number of heavenly soldiers and generals in the armory would definitely not be even one-tenth of what is inside.
