Chapter 196 The Evil Emperor Temple

Wang Tong and the others looked at Li Yizhi in puzzlement, as their subordinates were anxious.

If you, Li Yizhi, don't become the emperor, the positions and titles of us people can't be raised!
Seeing this, Li Yizhi had no choice but to pretend to explain: "Everyone, now we are confronting Li Tang and the others, and it is difficult to tell the result in a short time. Therefore, I am going to break the situation in Bashu, so that heavy casualties can be effectively avoided."

Li Jing understood Li Yizhi's plan in an instant. In fact, he had also thought about it, so he said, "The Duke means to use the righteousness of the Sui Dynasty to force Bashu to surrender, and then take the road from Hanzhong to attack Guanzhong?"

Li Yizhi nodded and said, "Yes. Although the Sui Dynasty has existed in name only, it still has a lot of influence on the people of the world. Li Tang still respects Yang You as emperor now. If we can force Bashu to surrender, then we will It can force Li Tang to separate his troops to retreat to the pass, thus causing their troops to disperse."

Shen Luoyan looked at Li Yizhi, although she felt that Li Yizhi's explanation was forced, but as a good subordinate, she still helped to lie.

So, she said with a smile: "My lord's plan is very clever. Once Li Tang transfers his troops back to Guanzhong, then we can break through on the eastern front and defeat Dou Jiande. At that time, we will encircle Li Tang on three sides, rule the world, and be unstoppable."

Everyone here is not stupid, they saw that Li Yizhi didn't seem to want to become emperor in a hurry, so they had no choice but to press their minds and agreed with the plan.

Li Yizhi said: "As for the forced surrender of Bashu, I will personally persuade Duzunbao. As long as I can persuade Duzunbao, Bashu will be pacified. But just in case, Qin Shibao will lead an army of [-] into Yiling, To carry out force deterrence, and at the same time, it can also take over Bashu in the future."

Yiling is today's Yichang, the only place to enter Bashu, located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Jingzhou.

Luo Tong was stationed in Jingzhou, and he also had 20 troops. If Qin Shibao's [-] was added, it would be nearly [-] troops.

I believe that with such a large army pressing the border, the various forces in Bashu will know how to choose.

After discussing the matter, Li Yizhi left Xuchang the next day.

In the next few days, the news of the night battle at Jingnian Temple quickly spread throughout the world, shocking countless people.

Not only was Song Que promoted to Grand Master, but Li Yizhi even defeated Ning Daoqi and Bi Xuan in a row, becoming the number one master in the world.

Of course, for the righteous sects, the most shocking thing is that Cihang Jingzhai will be disbanded.

You must know that in the past hundred years, Cihang Jingzhai has always been the leader of various sects of the righteous way.

It is unbelievable that such a lofty sect is about to collapse suddenly.

And on the third day after Li Yizhi left, Wang Shichong sent envoys to Xuchang to deliver a surrender form.

Wang Tong, Li Jing and others were pleasantly surprised. Wang Shichong's surrender meant that the alliance between Li Tang and other parties had been torn apart.

After learning about this, Li Yuan and Dou Jiande were naturally shocked and angry.

Fortunately, good news came from the Turks at this time. Jieli Khan expressed his willingness to support them and fight against Li Yizhi.

Not only did they aid each of them with [-] horses, but they also dispatched [-] elite cavalry to support them.

It can be said that this time Jieli Khan has spent a lot of money.

No way, who made Bi Xuanbai escape back to the grassland, which made Jieli Khan extremely frightened, for fear that Li Yizhi would unify the Central Plains and invade the grassland.

Because the Central Plains Dynasty has always sent troops to attack the grassland as long as it was the heyday of the founding of the country since ancient times.

Whether it is the Sui Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, or even the earlier Qin Dynasty.

With the support of the Turks, the alliance between Li Tang, Dou Jiande and others became stronger.

Li Jing originally thought that Wang Shichong's surrender was still a very good opportunity for a breakthrough, but now he can only continue to confront each other and wait for the result of Bashu.

Originally, they were planning to move their capital to Luoyang, but they couldn't get in touch with Li Yizhi, so they had to give up temporarily.

…………

After Li Yizhi left Xuchang, he headed west and soon came to the bank of the Yangtze River.

When he entered Shu this time, he planned to go upstream along the river.

When passing a big mountain, a burst of beautiful flute sounds like a voice from outside the sky, came from the top of the mountain, ethereal like clouds, gathering and dispersing indefinitely.

"Hey, this is Shi Qingxuan's flute sound!"

Li Yizhi stopped and listened attentively.

He felt that his soul had come out of his body, floating in the clouds, unrestrained and free.

After a long time, the flute sound gradually stopped.

Li Yizhi slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the top of the mountain, where the trees were lush and lush, and there seemed to be a temple hidden in it.

"Then, shouldn't it be the Temple of the Evil Emperor?"

Li Yizhi's heart suddenly moved. Although the original book did not specify the exact location of the Temple of the Evil Emperor, it probably looked like it was on the north bank of the Yangtze River, near Liyang.

Thinking of this, Li Yizhi walked up the mountain.

Anyway, there is no rush to go to Bashu for a day or two, but Shi Qingxuan's flute sound cannot be heard at any time.

The mountain road is narrow, and all the way there are thick and thick nanshu trees, and there are mountain streams flowing slowly.

Along the mountain road, Li Yizhi goes deep into the forest, where there are ornamental gazebos and waterfalls.

Finally, through a dense forest, I came to an ancient temple with hundreds of stone steps.

The ancient temple has no name, the courtyard wall is cracked, and weeds are overgrown. It is obvious that it has been abandoned for a long time.

In the dimly lit mountain forest, it looked a little eerie.

Climbing up the stone steps and crossing the temple gate, there are candles burning inside.

Li Yizhi saw a woman with long hair hanging down her waist, her back was facing him, kneeling on the futon in front of the Bodhisattva statue, holding a blue bamboo flute in her hand.

Seen from the back, the lines of Shi Qingxuan's back are graceful and graceful, and her hair is black and soft, giving people a feeling of elegance and elegance.

It's a pity that I can't see her face. I don't know what kind of demeanor this strange woman in the Tang world is.

Li Yizhi was feeling regretful, when he heard Shi Qingxuan say in that clear and sweet voice: "Master, this is not the place you should come to, please leave quickly, there will be villains coming."

Li Yizhi snorted, and said with a soft smile: "I am a good person, and the worst thing I fear is the wicked."

"Pfft!"

Shi Qingxuan chuckled lightly, her laughter was like the song of a lark, it was sweet to the ear, and it made people feel that the gloomy atmosphere around them disappeared in an instant.

There was a hint of cuteness in her voice, but also a hint of anxiety, and she said angrily: "You man, I tried to persuade you with good intentions, but you teased me. I really didn't lie to you, they are almost here, if you don't leave, you can just leave That's too late."

Li Yizhi's 'spirit' is powerful, and when he walked halfway up the mountain, he actually felt that there were four powerful energies rushing towards the mountain.

But at this time, the four air mechanisms were not far from the Temple of the Evil Emperor, three in front and one behind.

These four people are naturally the four major disciples of the evil emperor Xiang Yutian, they are the 'reverse' You Niaojuan, the 'Great Emperor' Ding Jiuchong, Zhou Laotan, and the 'Mei Niangzi' Jin Huanzhen.

The purpose of their trip was to win the Evil Emperor's relic from Shi Qingxuan.

Of course, this is what they thought, and they didn't even know that the evil emperor's relic was stored in Yang Gong's treasury.

Li Yizhi smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I also want to see how evil the villain you are talking about is."

Shi Qingxuan was about to persuade her again, when a sound of magic came from outside the temple.

At first, the sound was like a baby crying, and then it turned into a woman's screaming and wailing, moving forward and backward, erratic.

It seems to be outside the temple, like a ghost chirping, and it seems to be ringing in the ear, like a ghost laughing.

It's unbearable, the illusions are clustered in front of my eyes.
