"Yes, you can." Yinglong's voice continued to sound calmly in Liu Zhaoqing's mind.
"But why didn't the Han man from Shenzhou take action? He has the ability to resist the influence of the dead Peng bird. Not only did he not stop you, but he told you that after killing the Peng bird, the mortal race outside Shenzhou will be severely damaged."
Liu Zhaoqing was shocked and asked in his heart, "You mean... he is deliberately leading me?"
"Peng is an ancient spiritual beast, born in the North Sea. It is a family of one. It takes more than a thousand years for a one-inch fish to grow into a thousand-mile Kun, and another thousand years to transform into a Peng bird. Its life is almost infinite. Even if it dies unexpectedly, in its eyes it is just returning to heaven and earth and entering the vast sea again."
Yinglong did not answer directly, but talked about the origin of the Peng bird under Liu Zhaoqing's feet.
Liu Zhaoqing frowned slightly after listening to this, and then asked in his heart: "Excuse me, can you be more straightforward?"
Although he knew that Yinglong stopped him for his own good, but at this moment, wasn't it a bit too leisurely to suddenly talk about these stories?
Yinglong did not pay attention to Liu Zhaoqing's seemingly impatient question, but continued to speak in his mind:
"When I was young, I saw Peng. At that time, Peng did not look like it does today. It was gray and white. When it flapped its wings and flew high, countless auspicious birds surrounded it, trying to ride on its wind to the sky."
"But now it's... dead." Liu Zhaoqing said.
"Yes, Ke Peng shouldn't die. Remember what I just said?"
Liu Zhaoqing paused for a moment, then continued, "You mean that after the Peng bird dies, it should...return to heaven and earth, and then be reborn from the place where it was born?"
As an equally ancient creature, the Peng bird that Yinglong mentioned must be real, which means that the Peng bird has the ability to be reborn similar to the legendary phoenix and phoenix.
Then once the Peng bird died, it should have turned into a small fish in the North Sea again, and it would not have become the dead giant beast it is today.
"Mortals outside Shenzhou prevented it from dying by placing restrictions in its belly and living inside to maintain the restrictions and suppress it."
"These mortals must have accidentally encountered a dying Peng bird, and then used the Gu magic from outside the domain to prevent the Peng bird from returning to heaven and earth, turning it into a walking corpse and becoming a weapon for the mortals."
"And they are not satisfied with this. Their ultimate goal should be to control a more powerful Peng, such as reviving the Peng bird."
"But dead things cannot be resurrected. This is an unchangeable law of heaven. The 'resurrected' Peng Bird and the other Ling Ruiye are not the original individuals, so they will definitely not take the risk of letting Peng Bird return to heaven and earth."
"They must have taken a fancy to you."
"I?"
"The sword you hold and the power you possess are enough to penetrate the Peng bird. In other words, they are enough to penetrate the restriction."
"With this strike of your sword, you will suppress the restriction on their behalf, thus giving them a chance to breathe while they are trapped in its belly."
"Moreover, with the human book you have and my power, Peng will be easier to control because he is closer to heaven and earth, and he will also have about thirty years of nourishment."
"In the past thirty years, thanks to our 'contribution', the Dead Peng no longer needs to bother to seduce auspicious beasts and exotic beasts to serve as nutrients, nor does it need them, the mortals, to spend huge costs to maintain the ban."
"All you need to do is stab me with this sword."
Liu Zhaoqing was stunned after hearing this.
My goodness, it turns out these Xianbei people were planning to lure him into doing this kind of thing.
In other words, the previous false emperor was just a bait, and even the Xianbei army's southward march might just be a cover to lure Liu Zhaoqing north.
After all, as long as they could lure him into the Peng bird, the Xianbei Chanyu would have gained half of the world.
And if this strategy is not used, and the Peng bird is forcibly driven to invade the border to plunder Liu Zhaoqing, not to mention the entire Hebei Province, the princes of the Central Plains and the capital of Sili will definitely feel threatened and will send a large army to punish the Xianbei.
Tan Shihuai must have known Liu Zhaoqing.
From this perspective, the previous artifact fragments might even have been released intentionally by Tan Shihuai to test whether Liu Zhaoqing really possessed such ability.
"Thirty years... If he succeeds, that would be enough for him to reach the Mediterranean..."
Liu Zhaoqing came to his senses and realized that this was a trap. Now the first thing he had to think about was how to resolve it.
Yinglong didn't seem to have thought of a good solution. In its suggestion, the best option for Liu Zhaoqing was to stop and return to Changping.
But in that case, the fundamental problem is still not solved.
The strength of the Xianbei was not weakened, and the Peng bird could still be used by the Xianbei to harm the Han people.
He had to think of another good idea, preferably one that would have the best of both worlds.
In this way, time passed slowly.
"What will happen if I stab you?" Liu Zhaoqing asked after thinking for a long time.
After two seconds of silence, Yinglong's reply came.
“Is this the result of your thinking?”
It seemed that Yinglong still had a glimmer of hope that Liu Zhaoqing could come up with a good idea, but he didn't expect that Liu Zhaoqing would think about it and finally come up with a way to fall into a trap.
"I must deal with the Peng bird. Otherwise, not only will my power not be able to develop, but the dead Peng bird will also be cultivated by the Xianbei people into another evil god, causing harm for thousands of years."
"If I leave now, nothing will be resolved and everything will remain the same."
Yinglong was silent for a moment and then said, "The moment you stab it, all the death energy of the Peng bird will be gathered into the Water-Repellent Sword. It will fall to the ground, and you... will be carried by the death energy into the Peng bird's consciousness and assimilated into its part."
"And your strength and everything you have will be injected into the restrictions they set up, becoming nutrients that can sustain your supplies for thirty years."
After thinking for a moment, Liu Zhaoqing murmured softly: "Then, if I can stay conscious and not be assimilated, then... can I escape danger?"
"This is impossible." Yinglong said calmly.
"When you see Peng, you should know what kind of creature it is. Compared with Peng, your consciousness is like a grain of sand compared with the ocean."
"But don't I have you?"
After Liu Zhaoqing finished speaking, Yinglong was silent for a moment, then said again: "If I want to protect your mind, I need your lifespan."
"How many?"
"a hundred years."
"?"
While Liu Zhaoqing was speechless, Yinglong spoke again in his mind: "You are just an ordinary mortal now. When I take your lifespan and turn it into the power to protect your voice, you will become a dead tree."
This is an unsolvable problem, and it seems that the only option left for Liu Zhaoqing is to leave.
Only a few people knew about Tan Shihuai's plan, and it was almost perfect.
Even though Liu Zhaoqing now knew that this was a trap, Tan Shihuai suffered almost no loss.
The dead Xianbei people will be transformed into dead soldiers again by the Peng bird, and when Liu Zhaoqing returns, he can no longer save the entire Youzhou. Tan Shihuai will be able to capture Youzhou and Hebei, and thus sit back and look at the Central Plains.
Facing an enemy of this level, Liu Zhaoqing must break his strategic plan, otherwise he will always be led by the nose.
Liu Zhaoqing stood there, as if he had become a statue.
He was deep in thought, using all his power to think about whether there was another way out.
Just when Liu Zhaoqing was about to give up, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Then, what if we take advantage of the situation to destroy the ban?"
"destroy?"
"Yes, instead of becoming its food, it will destroy the restriction that controls the Peng bird. In this way, the Peng bird will be able to escape the control of the Xianbei people, and it will return to heaven and earth."
Yinglong pondered for a moment and said, "It is indeed possible, but...how do you want to destroy the restriction?"
"Even if you can live for more than a hundred years, with our current strength, even if we take away a hundred years of your lifespan, we can only protect your mind, not to mention destroying the restrictions that mortals have spent years setting up throughout the body of the Peng bird."
"So we still need a helper." Liu Zhaoqing said.
"Helper?" Ying Long was a little puzzled. "Who is it?"
"Wait! You!"
For the first time, Yinglong's voice contained panic, because Liu Zhaoqing, without saying a word, held the sword in both hands and stabbed it directly under his feet.
At the same time, it injects all its strength.
Suddenly, a huge gap was blasted open in the pitch-black "ground" by the golden light, and the light coming out from under the skin of the Peng bird, which was filled with dark death, was pure white and as warm as cotton.
Liu Zhaoqing's face and body were engulfed by the pure white light, and his eyes were shining brightly.
-------
At the same time, the body of the Peng bird began to fall towards the ground.
Its neck was also crooked due to the tilt of the bird's body, and Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, who were trying to stop the Xianbei King, temporarily distanced themselves from it.
This gave the wise king the opportunity to rush into the "hole" left by Liu Zhaoqing.
But just as the wise king was excitedly about to take advantage of this godsend opportunity to enter the cave and hunt down Liu Zhao, a person suddenly appeared in front of him.
That's Zhang Chun.
"Zhang Chun?! What are you doing?!" The wise king swung his sword directly at Zhang Chun.
Zhang Chun dodged and said coldly, "Don't ruin the Chanyu's plan."
"The Chanyu's plan?"
"No need to ask, you are not qualified to know."
"What did you say?!"
Just when the Wise King was about to get angry, he suddenly discovered that the Holy Spirit Ancestor under him had hit the ground directly.
At the same time, he discovered that countless dark circles of different sizes and positions appeared around him.
The Peng bird's body also began to emanate extremely dense deathly aura, like a huge fluttering ribbon.
"This, this is..."
"The power of the Holy Spirit is increasing, it's a success!" Zhang Chun was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.
Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao also realized something was wrong at this time.
"My Lord?!!"
They all had varying degrees of connection with Liu Zhaoqing from the Book of Humans, but at this moment, that connection suddenly disappeared.
Doesn't this mean...
"Your lord is dead!"
Zhang Chun turned around, stood on the rapidly falling Peng bird, and laughed at Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao in the distance.
"Hahaha! Just as Chanyu expected, the bravery of Marquis Changping will eventually harm himself!"
"Do you really think you can get here by your own strength?"
"Zhang Ju is just a chess piece, I am just a chess piece, the wise king is a chess piece, and the Wuhuan people are also chess pieces. The entire grassland is just the chessboard of the Chanyu."
"Everything is ultimately done to eat Liu Zhaoqing."
"Don't take any more chances. Look around, there's such a strong aura!"
Zhang Chun stretched out his arms. "The Holy Spirit is more powerful than before. This means that your lord, Changping Hou Liu Zhaoqing, has become a part of the Holy Spirit along with all the treasures on him."
"The Chanyu's plan has been accomplished. Not only has the Marquis of Changping been dealt with, but a purer sacrifice has also been obtained for the Holy Spirit Ancestor."
“It will only take ten years for the Chanyu to unify the world, and I will be made a marquis and appointed prime minister.
"Zhang Chun!" Zhao Yun looked furious and pointed his gun directly at Zhang Chun while riding his white horse.
At this moment, Zhang Chun stretched out her right hand, and a pitch-black door appeared out of thin air in front of Zhao Yun. She and the white dragon were swallowed up instantly, and then the next second, they appeared in the distant Wuhuan army.
"This power..." The wise king on the side looked at Zhang Chun blankly.
At this time, Zhang Chun also smiled and said: "The Holy Spirit Ancestor has become more and more powerful, and we who are blessed will naturally rise with the tide."
"Let's try it."
The wise king looked at the remaining person in the distance.
Zhang Liao endured the erosion of death, holding the crescent halberd, and together with Luo Luo beside him, he looked coldly at the two people in the distance.
"My lord, you can't die like this, and you will definitely become the souls killed by my halberd."
Chapter 217 Baili Huangtian, Turning Defeat into Victory5.3K
Half an hour ago, outside Changping City.
When the stars fell from the sky to the northern desert, even in Youzhou, which was nearly two thousand miles away, people could clearly see the dozen or so huge and dazzling red tracks.
Their appearance not only caused panic and fear on the battlefield in Mobei, but even the main force of the Xianbei here, far outside the city of Changping, was temporarily stagnant because of the meteorites falling from the sky.
Only those warriors who were not afraid of pain were still crashing against the city walls covered with vines and thorns.
