After he landed, he immediately bowed and reported to Master Taibai, saying, "Master Taibai! Something terrible has happened! Those monks from Xiniu Hezhou suddenly came running like crazy to attack the barrier!"
"Huh?" Li Taibai's anger immediately grew. "Well, we won't go and settle the score with them, but they come here to die! Let's go!"
He pulled Jiang Ke'er along, waved his hand, and led the elite monks of the Tang Dynasty to rush to the edge of the barrier to kill.
However, when he reached the edge of the barrier, he saw Xi Niu Hezhou and his group who were equally furious.
The Venerable Ban Luoer used his magic staff to hit the barrier of the Tang Dynasty barrier fiercely, glared at Li Taibai and his party who came, and cursed: "You Tang people have no morals! Not only did you steal the water source, but you also robbed us of our blessings and put us to death!"
Taibai was stunned when he heard this - how could this be true? It was the Tang Dynasty that was suffering, so why were they the first to complain?
"Let the monks fight the war among themselves in an upright manner. How can you be a hero if you murder ordinary people, teachers and students from Xiniu Hezhou?" Ban Luoer's eyes were red with anger. "These past few days, the teachers and students in my camp have been exhausted by you. Even if you want to kill or chop them up, you don't have to use such dirty means, right?"
"Wait a minute," said Master Taibai, dumbfounded. "You mean... in your camp too..."
"Are you still playing dumb here?" Ban Luoer glared at him, "Li Taibai! I thought you were a gentleman! I didn't expect you to be just a mean person who will do anything to achieve your goals!"
"Wait, don't get angry yet," Taibai Master hurriedly explained, "Three people in our camp just died accidentally. One was stung by a bee, one choked on a steamed bun, and the other was killed by a rock... What's going on over there?"
When Banluoer heard this, although he still didn't believe it, he still said hatefully: "Ten of us died. Some were killed by coconuts, some were bitten by snakes, and some fell to the ground..."
"It seems that your fortune has dropped even more than ours," Taibai Hero was originally furious, but after hearing this, he inexplicably felt much better.
Even a little to laugh.
"Our fortune has also been reduced," said Taibai. "Although it's not as serious as yours, we have also started to suffer casualties. I originally thought it was you who did it... Now it seems that the most urgent task is not to blame each other, but to find the root cause of the reduction in fortune as soon as possible."
Banrol obviously didn't believe it and still thought that all this was done by the Tang Dynasty and wanted to continue to attack them.
But at this moment, Master Yuwen came out from behind him again.
“The reason? I think I know.” Master Yuwen, who had transformed into a little boy, adjusted his glasses. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up as he spoke in a deep voice, “Obviously, this is… eh eh eh eh?”
Before he could finish his words, he found himself off the ground with both feet, and was being grabbed by the collar by Banrol.
"Why are you interrupting when adults are talking? Get out of the way!"
Then he was thrown out by Banrol like garbage.

127. Death is Coming (3)
Master Yuwen was caught off guard and was stunned for a moment.
How dare a mere venerable...
Unfortunately, he didn't have an anesthetic needle.
The famous detective Yuwen Guoshi was unable to make a cool sequel, so he had to crawl out of the haystack dejectedly and walk back behind Banrol.
Then he picked up a brick-like stone and jumped up with force.
Banrol was still trying to hold Datang responsible when he suddenly felt a pain at the back of his head.
"Boom!"
His soul trembled violently, and Banrol was shocked and fell to the ground.
He turned back in confusion: "You..."
"Boom boom boom!"
What comes towards you is the rapidly enlarging brick body.
It was not until Banrol was ridden on and beaten with blood all over his face and completely fainted that Master Yuwen finally stopped, sweating profusely.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood splattered on his face, while using his peripheral vision and spiritual sense to intimidate the monks from Xiniu Hezhou who wanted to step forward to rescue their boss.
The monks on both sides were stunned - are all the kids in this class so awesome?
"Okay, now no one will interrupt me from speaking, right?" Master Yuwen stood up, wiped the blood, raised his head and said with a smile.
"..."
Taibai the Great Warrior quietly raised a thumb and whispered, "Well done."
"Let's get back to the point. Our fortune is decreasing every quarter of an hour, so we'd better not waste time on other things." Master Yuwen turned to look at Jiang Ke'er. "Since both sides have experienced a decrease in fortune, it means that this decrease in fortune is not targeted at a certain person, but involves all the creatures on the entire island."
"So what's the reason?" Jiang Ke'er asked directly.
"It's obviously the work of the Changle Ding. This should be a sign of the Changle Ding's appearance," said Imperial Master Yuwen. "I noticed that every time a new location on the treasure map is opened, the surrounding blessings and fortunes will drop significantly."
Jiang Keer thought about it and, according to the chronological order...it seemed to be true.
"In fact, good fortune affects more than just superficial luck," said Yuwen Guoshi, looking a little serious. "Rather than calling it good fortune, I prefer to call it 'world recognition'."
Jiang Ke'er seemed to be thinking about something.
“It represents the recognition of the existence of living beings by the surrounding world. When the recognition is high, they will receive extra care, so everything will go smoothly and they will be like fish in water.”
"When the recognition is low, it means that the world hates you. Not only will everything go wrong for you, but you will also be wiped out by the world. The lower the recognition, the greater the force of the annihilation."
Jiang Ke'er was stunned when she heard this. She hesitated for a moment and said resentfully, "Are you not even worthy of living?"
“In a sense, it is.”
This is really a cruel reality.
The reality is that there is no God who will close a door and open a window. He will only close a door and nail all the windows shut, and finally blow up the house and the people inside.
Only by enduring the most suffering can you die more miserably.
"So the most urgent task is to take out the Changle Ding as soon as possible. Only the Changle Ding has the power to end all this." Yuwen Guoshi stretched out his hand to Jiang Keer, "We need to cooperate, at least temporarily. Otherwise, even you and I can't escape this annihilation..."
"Okay, let's cooperate. Give me all the keys you dug up." Jiang Ke'er said readily, "Once I get the Changle Ding, I will help you get back your fortune points."
"...How can you say such shameless words?" Master Yuwen rolled his eyes.
"I just said what you were going to say first," Jiang Ke'er smiled disdainfully, "Do you think I don't know what you think?"
"Okay," said Yuwen Guoshi helplessly, "I did want to say that... but you won't agree, so I have another plan."
"explain."
"I guess that the Changle Ding extracts the overall fortune of the island, rather than targeting a specific person. In other words... the more people there are, the slower the speed at which each person's fortune decreases, and the slower the speed at which the killing power increases."
This is a very simple truth. Master Yuwen is right, and Jiang Keer guessed the same.
"Therefore, we must ensure that as many people as possible are kept alive and help each other to protect everyone, so as to minimize the pressure on every living person."
After Yuwen Guoshi finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and smiled: "In this case, I have made a rule. I wonder if you dare to compete."
"Tell me."
"The death of any member of the team is irresponsible to all the living people on the island. In this case, from this moment on, we will make a rule to protect the members with all our strength, and no one can die."
"Ah."
Yuwen Guoshi continued, "Once a member of the Tang Dynasty dies, it will be considered that you failed to protect them properly. As punishment, you will have to hand over a key fragment to me. Conversely, once someone here dies, we will hand over a key fragment to you. This way, the winner should be decided quickly."
"You are really confident," Jiang Ke'er frowned, "Besides, even in the best case scenario, three people will die. How can you bear it?"
"Given the importance of the Changle Ding, neither side will give it up easily. Rather than wasting time until all the people are dead, it is better to be decisive and decide the winner. I believe you will keep your promise." State Master Yuwen replied with a slight smile, obviously he never cared about human life.
"..."
Jiang Ke'er looked at Hero Taibai.
Such an important decision put a lot of pressure on Master Taibai.
But he finally gritted his teeth and nodded, saying: "At this time, there is no other choice. We agree to the competition, but you must keep your promise."
"We don't want to die in vain," Imperial Master Yuwen nodded. "Then, to ensure the fairness of the competition, I suggest that we open the barrier now and each side send a cultivator to count the number of people... From now on, we should count the number of people every night to confirm the winner of the day."
"can."
"I hope the outcome can be determined within fifteen days," Imperial Master Yuwen raised his eyebrows.
"Why fifteen days?" Taibai Hero was puzzled.
“After all seven key fragments are taken out, wait for fifteen days, and the treasure trove containing the Changle Ding will appear in the world…” State Master Yuwen did not hide anything and said frankly.
Jiang Keer touched her chin and suddenly felt something was wrong - judging from the history of China, wasn't this Changle Ding something that Imperial Master Yuwen had snatched personally when he blew up Changle Prefecture?
He even built this tripod himself, and it is said that it caused a catastrophe in the heavens.
It's easy to take away your own tripod, isn't it? Why go to all this trouble?
Something is wrong! Something is wrong!
Either the records of Chinese history are wrong, or there is a bigger conspiracy hidden in it!

128. Death is Coming (4)
Jiang Ke'er did not express her doubts for the time being, so as not to arouse the other party's vigilance.
She needs to go back and sort out her thoughts.
Now that the source of the danger has been identified and she has learned that everyone on the island is in danger, Jiang Keer returns to her daughters as quickly as possible without hesitation.
From now on, she will stay by her daughters' side, never leaving their side.
********
Dongsheng Shenzhou, Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengqian couldn't remember how many years it had been since he ascended the throne.
Because whenever that damn old father got bored, he would kick him off the throne for a few days and sit on it himself.
Grab the asparagus!
Moreover, that old man looked healthier than himself. Who knew how many more years of life he had left to use to trouble him... Anyway, Li Chengqian didn't want to suffer this anymore.
He wants to abdicate!
This lousy emperor no longer wants to be one! Whoever wants to be one can be one!
Being an emperor emeritus is so leisurely. You can hide in the temple all day long, eating, drinking, playing mahjong and singing karaoke. When you have nothing to do, you can invite a few drinking buddies to go on secret visits together. If you are bullied, you can kick the current emperor down, and then go to seek revenge in a majestic manner!
Let’s leave this imperial court and this kingdom of Dongsheng Shenzhou to that unlucky guy Li Longji to worry about!
"Your Majesty, you called me?" Li Longji received the summons, walked to the front of the hall wearing armor and knelt down.
Li Chengqian also gave a lot of thought to the issue of succession.
He had two good candidates in mind, one was his brother Li Zhi and Wu Zetian's grandson Li Longji, and the other was Li Zhi's granddaughter Princess Taiping.
After thinking about it, he finally decided to pass the position to Li Longji.
It's not that he discriminates against women or anything. The Holy Ancestor and the Goddess were two great women who set examples for men and women all over the world. Li Chengqian's ideas are not so pedantic.
On the contrary, because of the fame of the Holy Ancestor and the God Lord, there was a trend of more yin than yang in Shenzhou, so he decided to make Li Longji the emperor. This was to avoid the trend of favoring girls over boys among the people. After a few years, girls would be more popular than boys and would be forced to be lesbians because they could not find good husbands.
This is probably the most absurd reason for establishing an emperor in history... Li Chengqian couldn't help but cover his face and thought.
However, after learning the news that he was about to succeed to the throne, Li Longji still looked unhappy!
"It has to be me? Is there no other choice? My sister is well-read and knowledgeable, isn't she more suitable than me?"
"This is the position of the emperor! It represents the supreme power of the most powerful empire in all of Shenzhou!"
"Supreme?" Li Longji curled his lips and muttered softly.
"Uh... second to none... no, except for your great grandfather and me... that means second to none and above millions of people!"
"There are also the God Lord and the Holy Ancestor..." Li Longji added in a low voice.
"That means below four!"
Unexpectedly, Li Longji curled his lips again, counted on his fingers, and said seriously: "There are also my grandfather Li Zhi, my father Li Dan, and the second grandfather, third grandfather, fourth grandfather of the Li family... the second grandfather, the third grandfather... my aunt and uncle..."
Li Longji kept talking for a full ten minutes. The names of those lively, harmonious and friendly elders in his family tree showed one thing - in a royal family without power struggles or infighting, how humble a newly-appointed little emperor was.
"That's enough!" Li Chengqian interrupted angrily with a red face, "In short, how many people are eager for the position of emperor, and you are still not happy? Stop talking nonsense! Prepare to ascend the throne tomorrow!"
"Your Majesty," Li Longji's face was pale, and he looked aggrieved as if he had been constipated for several months, "Can't you change someone? My sister Princess Taiping is really good! They say that washboards are very capable..."
"How come you, as a brother, don't even blink an eye when you cheat on your sister?" Li Chengqian was furious.
"Your Majesty, did you just use the word 'pit'?" Unexpectedly, Li Longji grasped the key point in an instant, his eyes lit up, "You also admit that being an emperor is not an easy job, right? I knew it!"
