Chapter 537: Go or Not
The oxcart was moving along the path, and looking forward, the outline of a small town could be vaguely seen. Li Changxiao had already walked to that remote place to find traces of the Extreme Evil Sect. Now he was slowly turning back, and it would take some time.
It was just right, he could sort out his thoughts on the way. Although he missed the tomb of the God of Dreams, it was not to say that this trip was fruitless. Comparing the past and the present, it was considered that he had gained something and had some enlightenment.
The oxcart was moving slowly and bumpy. There were only a few pedestrians on the road. A tourist on horseback was squeezed on the narrow path with the oxcart. He glanced at it sideways, and felt disgusted, so he squeezed the horse's belly and sped away.
Li Changxiao took a sip of wine, and in a daze, he was bored, so he tried to deduce the relationship between the three parties. The Extreme Evil Sect leaked the secrets of the mermaids, and the mermaids asked for help from humans and animals.
The humans and animals also seemed to be cooperating with the Extreme Evil Sect.
The relationship between the three is intricate, like a ball of tangled hemp with countless threads, but it is not too difficult to sort out the order of the past and the present. We can get a glimpse of it just by looking at the disasters in various places.
When Dayu was founded, people and animals from the prehistoric world had already come here. They were the earliest "investors", the strange beasts from the prehistoric world, who wanted to use this to study the way of incense.
They are bloodthirsty and cruel, but not reckless or stupid, otherwise how could the human race be so afraid of them. Since the founding of the country, a major disaster has occurred in various places in Dayu every once in a while.
It can be seen as a beast eating, and it eats several cities or even a large area. In this way, plus Li Changxiao has read the books related to the prehistoric world in the Eryuan Sect.
It can be roughly guessed that the prehistoric beasts are in a similar situation to the human race. Or, it is similar to the "past" of the human race. Before the beginning of the great reform era, the monks hid their heads and did not come out. Nowadays, the wild beasts of the prehistoric world, apart from the necessary food, usually sleep to reduce the consumption of body functions.
The habits of beasts are mostly based on the two words "eating" and "sleeping".
Therefore, the real four gods, the twelve mountain gods, and many small gods are still in sleep, and during their sleep, the "vassal humans and animals" will operate incense for them, and the incense is the most severe during major disasters and major diseases.
Until thirty years ago, the Ji Evil Sect leaked the secret to the mermaids and told the mermaids where the tomb of "Dream Dao God" was located. The mermaids began to enter the world of Fuyao to find the tomb.
But the tomb of Dream Dao God was scattered all over the world, and the strong men sent by the mermaids were also scattered everywhere. It happened that there was one place in Dayu. So the mermaids reached an agreement with the prehistoric world.
On the other hand, the Ji Evil Sect was also hidden in Dayu, with "farmers" harvesting straw on one side and people lying dormant on the other. Li Changxiao shook his head slightly. That was all the information he knew so far.
Thirty years ago was perhaps an important node. Compared to the mermaids, the Extreme Evil Sect was more difficult to deal with. The nine people on the altar were all strong men, and their magic was profound and complex, with many ways to deal with the enemy. In comparison, although the mermaids were blessed with all aspects and their magic was powerful, they only had that one set of skills.
Water magic, dream magic, claws, and the image of the four seas. At first, it was really hard to resist. It felt more difficult than the strong men of the human race, but after fighting more, it felt monotonous and ordinary. The so-called mermaids were just more skilled, with stronger water magic, more mysterious dream magic, and more profound images of the four seas.
Still failed to break away from the essence, otherwise, why would such a great genius die so aggrievedly at the hands of Li Changxiao.

The carriage drove slowly and gradually entered the city, which was a remote town. Li Changxiao got off the carriage and paid the copper coins in advance, so he patted his butt and left in a chic manner.
…
Dayu City.
It has been nearly half a month since the black tower disappeared. The sky is about to enter autumn, and the summer heat is gradually fading. As an emperor, Wang Ruyi considered for a moment and decided to hold a grand sacrifice before the autumn harvest.
Pray for a good harvest for the people and pray for the people to be full. She does not believe in the immortals in the mountains or the gods in the temples, but believes in the will of heaven, and she uses this to express her feelings.
The grand sacrifice was in full swing. On the day of the grand sacrifice, civil and military officials stood in a row, and Wang Ruyi stood at the front. On the altar, there were three roasted pigs, roasted sheep, and roasted cows, as well as incense burners, candlesticks and other utensils, all of which were carefully made by the craftsmen in the palace and contained special meanings.
Wang Ruyi was dressed in bright clothes, with her long skirt hanging to the ground. She had been carefully dressed since the morning hour until near noon, when the sun was shining brightly.
The officials below stood, all wearing bright red official uniforms. Wang Ruyi stood up straight, walked to the altar, bowed three times, and recited the words of sacrifice. The voice was crisp but majestic, and the demeanor of the emperor on earth was fully displayed at this moment.
The officials below were solemn and did not dare to make loud noises, but they did not know that the emperor who was facing away from them had a strange expression at this moment, excited, happy, and angry, which was very complicated.
She clearly saw that half of the calf was hanging down on the eaves not far away, swaying gently back and forth, and someone was lying there.
Suddenly, a head popped out from the eaves. It was that familiar and handsome face. Wang Ruyi even paused in her movements. The sacrifice was halfway through, but she forgot the process.
Damn drunkard, stinky drunkard…Why come here at this time, why come earlier or later? If you want to leave, you can leave. If you want to forget, you can forget. Are you here to make trouble…Wang Ruyi cursed in her heart. She is now a dignified emperor, and she cannot afford to make any mistakes.
The ministers below are all watching.
She felt mixed emotions, surprised and happy. The ministers looked at her, wondering why His Majesty stopped, but they dared not speak.
Wang Ruyi collected her thoughts, retracted her gaze, and recalled the sacrificial process in her mind. The hand holding the jade sceptre had already begun to sweat when she saw the white clothes.
Somehow, her heart was very throbbing. As smart as she was, how could she not expect that she would see him less and less. She had returned to the throne, but Bai Yi was still the same dissolute swordsman who loved drinking and sleeping.
"Will you go? I'll take you to play." Li Changxiao said with his lips, with a smile on his face, as if he was happy to see Wang Ruyi in such an embarrassing situation.
Wang Ruyi looked at the altar, but his eyes glanced at the eaves, and he retorted: "Go! I'm offering sacrifices!"
The ministers below were pitiful. They didn't know what was going on. They only saw that the current emperor paused again, and the sacrificial process was stuck halfway, and they didn't know when it would end.
"Really not going?" Li Changxiao asked again.
"..." Wang Ruyi almost took a step, why didn't she want to go.
"Flying on the sword, proudly traveling around the world, up to the bright moon in the sky, down to the cold spring in the underworld, tut tut tut." Li Changxiao persuaded.
Wang Ruyi could no longer resist the temptation, and she opened her red lips and uttered one word, "Let's go!"
The ministers below were full of questions. They remembered that there was no such sacrificial words in the sacrificial words.
