Many of the things Liu Hong said were secrets that few people knew. At least the fact that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had fought off the Qiongqi together was not recorded in history books.
But Liu Zhaoqing already understood the dangers of Qiongqi. If it really became the ruler of mankind, not to mention the head of the Qilin, all the spiritual auspicious creatures in the world and even half of the people would be used as food for its growth or to fill its stomach.
The lives saved by Liu Hong's action include not only the common people of the world, but also countless spiritual beings.
But if Liu Hong can save the people of the world, does that mean he can also save himself?
Liu Zhaoqing looked at Liu Hong's hand that was stroking the Huan beast. On the back of his originally smooth hand, Liu Zhaoqing saw several faint black lines, and his mood immediately sank slightly.
Although Liu Hong only talked about the matter of Qiongqi, his current performance has already proved that Liu Zhaoqing's concerns are correct.
Liu Hong is Qiongqi, and Qiongqi is also Liu Hong. Since Liu Hong is still alive, Qiongqi has not been wiped out.
Moreover, Qiongqi was still trying to quickly regain control of Liu Hong's body. Once it succeeded...
When Liu Zhaoqing was thinking this, when Liu Hong was about to touch the Huan beast again, the well-behaved Huan beast suddenly raised its three tails, then looked back at Liu Hong, and jumped away in panic.
Liu Hong looked at the black lines on his hand and remained silent.
"Your Majesty..." Liu Zhaoqing took a step forward.
At this time, Liu Hong also said: "Marquis Changping, I need you to do me a favor."
"Your Majesty, please give your orders." Liu Zhaoqing said immediately.
"That's Yinglong in your body, right?" Liu Hong looked at Liu Zhaoqing.
After a pause, Liu Zhaoqing realized that Liu Hong must know everything by now, so there was no need to hide it, and nodded.
"Yinglong is a true dragon and a divine beast of great auspiciousness and luck."
Liu Hong was halfway through his words when Liu Zhaoqing understood something. Seeing Liu Zhaoqing's expression, Liu Hong also realized that he had guessed it, and nodded and smiled.
"It seems Zhao Qing already understands, so there is no need for me to explain further."
"But before that..."
Liu Hong turned around and waved his sleeves towards the distance at the entrance to the West Garden.
"I am not dead yet, are you planning a rebellion?!"
A loud shout, accompanied by a faint golden light from Liu Hong's mouth, spread from the Peach Garden to the front of the West Garden, and to the entire palace.
All the weapons stopped in an instant. After ten breaths, a call that resounded through heaven and earth was heard throughout the palace.
"Your Majesty...Long live your Majesty."
Liu Hong's imperial edict put an end to all evil intentions. This is the authority of the emperor.
After calming down the chaos, Liu Hong looked at Liu Zhaoqing and said, "Now, neither you nor I have any worries."
"Use the auspicious Yinglong to drive away the extremely evil Qiongqi. Whether I can avoid being invaded by Qiongqi, and whether the people of the Han Dynasty can avoid being plunged into disaster, all depends on my Changping - you."
Chapter 115 Qiongqi
Without any worries, Liu Zhaoqing could devote all his efforts to helping Liu Hong.
We will do our best to help Liu Hongqi expel the Qiongqi from his body so that this great emperor of the Han Dynasty can truly be reborn.
But Liu Zhaoqing had no experience on how to use Yinglong's power to drive away Qiongqi. However, Liu Hong acted very calmly.
"Don't be nervous. Although I used to be indifferent to worldly affairs, greedy for pleasure and only wanted to die in peace, my ancestor, Emperor Zhang, was the grandson of Emperor Guangwu. I inherited the blood of Emperor Guangwu, so I can be considered a man of destiny." Liu Hong comforted Liu Zhaoqing with a smile.
"Compared to you, Changping, who is not a great man, I am much better than you."
Liu Zhaoqing quickly nodded and agreed, this was indeed true.
Just from the fact that Liu Zhaoqing cannot see Liu Hong's attributes clearly now, it can be seen that Liu Hong's current state is definitely at the peak. Both his wisdom and martial arts have reached the level of a true genius.
"Thanks to the treasures that Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others have looted in the past few days, I can maintain this state for the time being. Although I have never heard of the method of smelting and forging precious auspicious beasts or even ferocious beasts, I can feel their loyalty." After Liu Hong finished speaking, he was silent for a moment and continued.
"They spent their lives dealing with Qiongqi and dancing with the evil spirits. They collected so many things for me in just a few days and spent so much energy. I... can't give up just like that."
Then, Liu Hong moved his arms: "Fortunately, my body is strong enough to fight against Qiongqi now."
"And the Yinglong in your body..." Liu Hong looked at Liu Zhaoqing and frowned slightly.
"It's very weak." Liu Zhaoqing said after thinking about it.
"Please stretch out your hand." Liu Hong said to him.
Liu Zhaoqing walked forward slowly, raised his hand and looked at Liu Hong, and saw that there was no cunning or greed in his eyes.
There is only the majesty of a king and the gentleness of an elder.
Raising his arm, Liu Zhaoqing paused his elbow for a moment, and then slowly placed it on Liu Hong's outstretched palm.
In an instant, Liu Zhaoqing felt a warmth on his arm, and a pair of golden horns faintly appeared between Liu Hongzhi's forehead.
That is the power of Qiuniu, the son of the true dragon.
Liu Hong closed his eyes and felt it for a while, then slowly opened them again.
He frowned slightly and said softly, "It seems... like me, this Yinglong will not live long."
"..."
"Yinglong is a divine beast of heaven and earth. Even among the divine beasts, it is one of the most noble. Do you know the reason why it is on the verge of death?"
Liu Zhaoqing shook his head.
Liu Hong was silent for a moment, stroking his goatee, and nodded slightly: "From this perspective, not only the Han Dynasty, but the entire Chinese land will be plunged into an unprecedented turmoil and catastrophe..."
"You sit in the center of the four furnaces." Liu Hong said to Liu Zhaoqing again.
The four incense burners naturally refer to the four incense burners in the middle of the square. These incense burners are filled with precious medicines that can prolong Liu Hong's life, but Liu Hong obviously doesn't need them at this time.
Liu Zhaoqing came to the place where Liu Hong, who had turned into a prisoner ox, was, lifted his clothes, and sat down.
At the same time, Liu Hong also came not far in front of him, then raised his sleeves and stretched out his hands towards the incense burners on both sides.
A hint of gold appeared on the palm of his hand, and the lid of the incense burner opened instantly. Then Liu Hong looked at several huge wooden boxes in the distance.
The next moment, countless precious medicines floated out of the box and flowed into the incense burner like a stream. For a moment, the incense burner, which had already burned out, began to emit white smoke again.
Liu Hong stretched out his fingers, gathered all the white mist together, controlled it to flow towards Liu Zhaoqing, and wrapped him up.
From the outside, Liu Zhaoqing looked like he was wrapped in a huge egg, but inside it, Liu Zhaoqing felt very uncomfortable.
Within two seconds, Liu Zhaoqing couldn't breathe anymore. He felt suffocated and at the same time, the white mist was injected into his limbs and chest, causing him severe pain as if he had just entered the furnace and encountered the blue fire.
Even his skin began to crack and blood was oozing out.
"Hold on! The Yinglong in your body is already extremely weak, and your body is at least ten years older than it appears on the surface. You are simply unable to carry the true dragon energy again."
Liu Hong's voice was clearly heard by Liu Zhaoqing from outside.
"You must restore your body to its original state so that you can resonate with Yinglong and let him grant you power."
Hearing this, Liu Zhaoqing inside gritted his teeth, closed his eyes tightly, and concentrated on fighting the pain.
"Although you don't have a gift from heaven, your body has been transformed by Yinglong and some other divine creatures, so you can withstand the medicinal energy that only a real dragon can bear."
"Qiongqi is not an ordinary creature. If you want to expel it, you must be able to withstand its pressure. Otherwise, you may be killed by its eyes just by looking at its appearance."
Liu Hong outside increased his strength, and Yu Nian turned on the remaining two incense burners, making all four burners work together at the same time.
In an instant, the "eggshell" on Liu Zhaoqing's body expanded a lot, changing from an oval to a round shape.
"My strength is also due to Qiongqi. As long as you can regain the energy of the true dragon, you can work together with me to drive Qiongqi out of the Han territory, and even kill it in Taoyuan!"
His body was soaked in blood. Liu Zhaoqing could no longer feel the pain. His mind was in a state of confusion. Only Liu Hong's voice made him realize that he was still alive.
"Qiongqi is a treacherous beast. Its wisdom is far superior to that of mortals and heroes, but because of this, it is even more indifferent to mortals."
"If we want to drive it away, we must use what it fears to disrupt its formation. The thing it fears is not the weak Yinglong, but the thing I give you."
"It was injured by Gaozu. Even if hundreds of years have passed, it is only yesterday to it..."
"But this alone is not enough. Qiongqi likes treacherous creatures and is good at poison and control. As long as you have a sense of justice and a firm mind, you can be like Zhang Rang and others, not only not being infected by Qiongqi..."
Liu Hong's voice became weaker and weaker, and Liu Zhaoqing also felt that his consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred.
He never expected that the intensity of the smoke that strengthened his body so that he could communicate with Yinglong was so high. Liu Zhaoqing's vision and hearing were completely gone, and there was not a single trace of integrity on his skin.
But Liu Zhaoqing could feel his vitality growing wildly, and the consciousness that he had originally been unable to feel in his limbs and torso was also recovering rapidly.
From weak to strong, from strong to full, it only took less than half a second for Liu Zhaoqing to feel as if his body had been reborn.
Liu Zhaoqing suddenly opened his eyes and was reborn.
All he could see was white smoke, but Liu Zhaoqing had fully regained consciousness by then. He was about to walk out, but after looking at his body, he immediately checked the consciousness in his mind.
Then a ray of golden light flowed out from his heart, and the human book turned into a tough and light green shirt that covered Liu Zhaoqing's body.
Liu Zhaoqing nodded slightly, feeling the power surging in his body, and smiled.
"Your Majesty! I have made it through. Now, what's next..."
As soon as the white mist was peeled off, the smile on Liu Zhaoqing's face slowly faded.
Liu Hong was not seen, and there was only one thing in front.
It was a creature that exuded a dark aura, had a pair of wings, had the eyes of a tiger but the body of a prisoner bull.
From its scarlet and teasing eyes, Liu Zhaoqing instantly realized that the awakened master had deceived him.
In this world...there is actually no method that can drive away evil spirits.
Chapter 116 Ako and Infection
Liu Zhaoqing was stunned for a moment.
He was not shocked by the ferocious spirit in the distance that was at least five stories tall and had merged with Qiuniu, but by Liu Hong's "lie" to him.
"Focus your mind."
At this moment, a cold voice sounded in my mind.
Liu Zhaoqing came back to his senses and at this moment he had no mood to be surprised that Yinglong had gone from communicating with his deep consciousness to being able to talk directly in his mind.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand towards the depths of the garden, and a spot of light immediately appeared in the distance.
As the branches of two rows of peach trees were broken at the same time, an ancient long sword flew into Liu Zhaoqing's hands.
"It's just a newborn, help me kill it quickly!"
After saying something to Yinglong's consciousness in his heart, Liu Zhaoqing's eyes became sharp, and he used the sword to directly cut a cut on his arm.
The bright red blood that had just been tempered with countless precious medicines was comparable to that of an extremely ferocious beast and was greedily absorbed by the Water-Avoiding Sword in an instant.
At the same time, Liu Zhaoqing rushed towards Qiongqi.
In almost just a moment, Liu Zhaoqing arrived on top of Qiongqi's head and stabbed a sword towards his forehead.
Qiongqi, who had merged with Qiuniu, showed surprise in his eyes, but just took a step back and avoided Liu Zhaoqing's attack.
Then Qiongqi spoke in human language, his voice was similar to Liu Hong's, but with a strong hoarseness like the opening and closing of an old wooden door.
"It does take some courage. It should taste good."
The next second, Liu Zhaoqing stretched out his hand and aimed at Qiongqi. The ground under Qiongqi's body suddenly dried up. Then countless needle-thin but extremely sharp water jets pierced towards Qiongqi from the ground at an extremely fast speed.
In an instant, Qiongqi's body was pierced, and during its pause, Liu Zhaoqing arrived on top of its head and chopped directly at its head.
However, just as the sword was about to fall, Qiongqi's wings fluttered, and at the same time, the double horns of the Qiuniu above its head hit Liu Zhaoqing, and Liu Zhaoqing was suspended in the air again.
"Yinglong? It turns out that what I felt that day was not an illusion." Qiongqi's eyes showed joy.
“I didn’t expect that my ascension to the master position would be so smooth, and there is also a mortal who is comparable to phoenix meat.”
"Just a short rest and the world has become like this. I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect... mortals are still as stupid as before."
"Although the ants have grown stronger palates and wings, the human ruler is no longer as good as those in the past. Tsk, very good. If I can control the common people, I can go back there."
Qiongqi was speaking softly in front of Liu Zhaoqing, his scarlet eyes filled with the joy of a winner and disdain for mortals.
Although Liu Zhaoqing possessed the power of Yinglong, he was too small and too weak to pose any threat to it.
Instead, it became a cold appetizer for Qiongqi.
However, Liu Zhaoqing knew how to defeat Qiongqi, because before that, the Han emperor had already told him Qiongqi's weakness.
Thinking of what Liu Hong had said before, Liu Zhaoqing looked at the tassel on the hilt of the Water-Repellent Sword in his hand.
