Chapter 663: The Great Dispute over Incense

Li Tianxia was followed by eighteen people of different looks and costumes, some holding flowers, some holding long canes...the momentum was extraordinary. Li Changxiao's medical shop was located on the roadside. At this moment, he saw everyone arriving, entering from the west city gate and walking straight towards the Seven Immortals Tower in the center of Panzhou City. He passed by the two of them and couldn't help but look up. Look twice.

Li Changxiao and Zhao Qing's faces were covered with a hint of falsehood, making them appear unreal and unremarkable. However, Li Tianxia and others were not recognized.

Li Tianxia strode closer, her eyes never stopping, her appearance remained unchanged, but her temperament became more stern. Although she was a woman, she felt like a dragon and a tiger at this moment, and she had begun to assume the aura of a hegemon. Behind him was an old man, dressed in coarse linen clothes, holding a pole and wearing a wooden hat on his head. Half of his face was hidden in the shadows. When he passed by Li Changxiao's doctor's shop, his eyes lingered for a few seconds, but he didn't notice. Never noticed anything strange.

When Zhao Qing saw this battle, he immediately understood. He pulled Li Changxiao and whispered: "The people behind Li Tianxia are the gods of Lingtian incense and fire. I think they are going to have a contest of incense and fire here."

The gods of incense and fire take refuge in the mountains and rivers, and they are naturally connected with the fate of the country. The king of a country governs the people with hundreds of officials, and governs the mountains and rivers with the god of incense and fire. Li Tianyu and Li Tianxia have been anxious for several years, and it is their turn to have a battle of incense.

Li Chang smiled and said, "That's why I'm here." He had already noticed it, and his purpose was deeper. It's just that I can't tell Zhao Qing about this. Zhao Qing was stunned, "I've become a mortal, and it's no longer possible to drive incense. Why do I come here?" She really couldn't figure it out, but she knew that Li Changxiao would definitely not harm her, so she didn't ask any more questions.

She told Li Changxiao that the person following Li Tianxia was named Ship Bo, also known as "Ship Boss". He was a master of shipping and was deliberately supported by Li Tianxia in order to share Zhao Qing's favor.

After the boatman, there are Huagu, Granny Tangshui, Beiyue Mountain God, and the old man Houtu...

This is the incense team that Li Tianxia has carefully supported, and it is extremely important in the fight for the throne. Zhao Qing has never intended to compete for incense, but because she travels around the world and does good deeds, many of her deeds are spread. Coupled with the nurturing and admiration of several generations, the incense has become increasingly prosperous, which is unmatched by ordinary incense gods.

Li Tianxia has always regarded Zhao Qing as a serious problem and had long expected that after Li Shanhe's death, a dispute over incense would be inevitable. If you look forward, you can see that Li Tianxia's incense layout has been in place since the beginning of the Reform Movement, when the incense movement first emerged.

Li Tianxia built temples extensively, bought gold on a large scale, and participated in the revision of temple laws. This was the day. Although she has a fierce and arrogant personality, she is undoubtedly capable and has a very far-sighted vision, so she is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

The gods of incense and fire walked through the street and headed straight for the most luxurious restaurant in the center of Panzhou City. The restaurant stood tall like a pagoda, called "Seven Immortals Tower". It was originally a place for fun, but With the frequent wars, people are leaving the buildings empty, which is sad.

When passing a corner, a group of people came from the east, led by Li Tianyu, and the two parties met. But behind Li Tianyu, there were more than ten incense and fire gods following him.

Today in this Zhou city, it is a battle of incense and fire. When the two met, there was always sarcasm. Li Tianxia was very sharp-tongued, and Li Tianyu was no match for Li Tianyu with her words alone. But he knew that he could not scold Li Tianxia, ​​so he was fully prepared when he came. When encountering verbal disadvantages, just laugh it off and never get angry because of it.

This made Li Tianxia faintly angry. In this first contest, it can be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Afterwards, the two gods boarded the restaurant together, and the battle for incense quietly began.

After both parties hid in the restaurant, many local old men from Panzhou City swarmed over, seeking Li Changxiao's treatment. Li Changxiao thought to himself that since everything that was supposed to come had already come, he was afraid that he would have to leave completely soon, so he accepted all who came and helped those who came, treating everything from old injuries to hidden diseases.

He didn't charge money, and often said that he would seek medical treatment if he was destined to do so. But the "fate" was simple. As long as he saw him and asked for him, he was considered to have a "fate". From morning to evening, Zhao Qing was tired and his whole body was weak, so he closed the stall and prepared to rest.

In the Seven Immortals Tower, the fight over incense lasted for unknown length of time. Li Changxiao looked at the restaurant and asked, "How do you think this incense dispute will proceed?"

Zhao Qingdao: "This incense dispute is essentially a battle between Li Tianxia and Li Tianyu, but it is much more complicated because it involves the fate of the country."

Zhao Qing said: "I think because they argued verbally first and denied the other party's legitimacy, in the end... I was afraid that it would be hard to escape from a fight."

Li Changxiao asked: "Fighting will always lead to loss of life, why is this?" Zhao Qing said: "You don't know something. The situation of the Lingtian Dynasty at this time is almost equivalent to the founding of the country. In the final analysis, the God of Incense and Fire needs to rely on the court. The winner The incense gods under their banner can share the fortune of founding the country, and maybe they can use this to make incense move forward. They are also making this big gamble."

Zhao Qing added: "If the incense continues further, the hope of the human race will be rekindled. On the contrary, if the god of incense refuses this dispute, even if the aura is left, the incense will definitely backfire. It is not said that he will die, but he will not die. Not far."

Only then did Li Changxiao understand that it turned out that the gods had no choice but to go through this disaster because of their desperate actions. In the face of the general trend, everyone in the world is insignificant.

Even Li Tianyu and Li Tianxia, ​​who seemed to have unlimited glory and were riding the wave, were also coerced by the general trend and pushed to their current situation. They had no way out and could only passively move forward.

As for the dispute over incense, there is actually another way to why it was chosen here. Since the civil war in Lingtian, the fourteen counties and cities that military strategists must compete for have become the nodes of a country's destiny.

Panzhou City cannot change its owner. It is a place where the Qi moves. It is the most appropriate to choose this city as the place for the incense battle.

Zhao Qing asked: "Did you come here specifically for the incense battle?" Li Changxiao replied: "Yes and no." He looked up at the tall restaurant with a dim gaze, unscrewed the wine gourd, and drank a mouthful of muddy wine.

Zhao Qing also looked up, wondering what the scene in the restaurant was like at this moment. Li Changxiao said: "By the way, where is the gold?" Zhao Qing asked: "What's wrong?"

Li Changxiao smiled and said: "Give it to me, I'll go buy something." Zhao Qing trembled, her beautiful eyes slightly condensed, but she still took out the last small piece of gold and put it in Li Changxiao's palm.

Li Changxiao said solemnly: "Don't worry, this thing is definitely worth it." He took a few steps and suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned back, took off the Qingping sword, threw it to Zhao Qing, and told Zhao Qing to leave this place first, because there might be a big chaos here.
