Chapter 664: The Great Dispute over Incense 2
Zhao Qing watched Li Changxiao go away, holding the Qingping Sword tightly in his hand, and suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. It seemed that what Li Changxiao said was right, there might really be a big chaos here.
When she held the Qingping Sword, she seemed to be detached from the world in an instant, and the pedestrians on the roadside could no longer see her. Among Li Changxiao's treasures, the Qingping Sword had been with him the longest and was the closest to his aura.
Zhao Qing's practice of Taoism is profound. Although she has already dispersed the Taoism, to be honest, her understanding of Taoism is even deeper. At this moment, holding the Qingping Sword in her hand, she can vaguely drive the remaining power in the Qingping Sword, and it is no problem to kill a Divine Transformation cultivator.
Of course, Zhao Qing was not afraid of being discovered by the cultivators just by the true and false connotation of the Qingping Sword. Although Li Changxiao had left at this moment, her safety was guaranteed.
When she saw Li Changxiao walking away, although she was curious about what the piece of gold could buy, she obeyed his instructions and left Panzhou City on her own.
Walking outside the city, she suddenly felt lost and walked aimlessly until she came to a river. She saw a dilapidated boat parked on the shore, so she took it and went downstream.
……
On the other side, Li Tianxia, Li Tianyu and others gathered in the Seven Immortals Tower, and the two groups of incense gods were in opposition to each other.
Li Tianxia has a far-sighted vision, but Li Tianyu is not a short-sighted person. He has also put a lot of effort into the incense business. After the incident in Buddha City, he has become friends with Hemu, and then he has won over many incense gods by using his tiger skin.
The incense gods of the Lingtian Dynasty have more or less overlaps and similarities in meaning and functions, such as Li Tianxia's Hua Gu and Li Tianyu's Xiang Cai Tongzi. In the stories and songs of the Lingtian Dynasty, the two gods are in charge of the seasonal changes of all flowers in the world.
The powers and responsibilities are completely conflicting, so many children often ask, since both gods are in charge of all the flowers in the world, who should the flowers in the world obey?
When adults hear such innocent questions, they often have no answer, which makes them feel embarrassed and helpless. Although Lingtian does not have the chaos of incense worshippers that Dayu once had, the factional disputes among incense worshippers are also very serious.
After the new emperor ascends the throne, only one of these gods can remain. The later the incense god cultivates, the harder it is for him to give up incense. He is already firmly tied to the dynasty, the fate of the country, and the people. Even if he wants to, he cannot pull himself away.
Behind Li Tianxia, there are 18 gods, some in charge of seasonal changes, rainfall, drought, east, south, west, north, day and night, shipping, road transport, mountain gods, etc. Behind Li Tianyu, there are 17 gods, most of whose functions are similar, so there must be a fight, life and death, which is inevitable.
In the past, the mother of the river dominated all the gods, and the overall situation of incense was stable. Now, the boat boss appeared and was about to compete with the mother of the river. Naturally, there was turmoil in the incense of Lingtian.
At this moment, the first incense battle in the Seven Fairies Tower has begun. Li Tianyu's incense-collecting boy and Li Tianxia's flower girl first had a verbal battle.
But don't underestimate the verbal battle, as it involves the orthodoxy of the incense. If you lose, the incense will be damaged and you will be labeled as a heretic. The opponent's momentum will increase, and you will take advantage of the situation to kill him.
After that, he could swallow all the incense and Taoism he had cultivated for hundreds of years into his stomach and receive a beating. It can be said that he only cared about life and death, which was even more vicious than the one who sat and talked about Taoism.
The incense-collecting boy and the flower lady argued with reason, implying that the other party was not orthodox, and competed with each other with their views on the incense. If the incense master had a deep understanding, he could use this as a weapon to attack the other party.
In the Seven Immortals Terrace, the boy who collected incense had the upper hand and was superior in the perception of incense. At this time, the boy who collected incense sneered and sacrificed a powerful weapon: he pointed at Hua Gu and exposed her previous identity. She was a witch who specialized in sucking the essence and blood of others. She was burdened with heinous sins and her blood was extremely dirty. With such a background, how could she be worthy of competing with him?
Hua Gu was completely shaken, and Caixiang Tongzi stepped forward, shouted loudly, and slapped Hua Gu on the head. Hua Gu flew backwards, her whole body was ugly, and she died on the spot.
The incense-collecting boy was seen again, his body was full of golden light, and the power of incense was strong, and the incense went up to a higher level. After completely killing those who conflicted with his status and functions, the benefit was too great.
“Great!” Li Tianyu laughed. “Senior Caihua is worthy of being the orthodox successor! How dare that evil demon take over my Lingtian incense? Senior Caixiang is really lucky to be able to eliminate the evil for the people!”
Li Tianxia's face looked grim, "What a witch! She hid her origins and made me lose!" She cursed in a low voice. If Hua Gu's origins were not right and she was born as a demon, but she chose to practice incense, otherwise, in this first incense battle, even if she was at a disadvantage, she would never be beaten to death so easily.
Li Tianxia said coldly: "Second round!"
The incense-collecting boy stepped aside and breathed a sigh of relief. On Li Tianxia's side, a man with a broken left arm and a red, yellow, and green poisonous snake wrapped around his neck stood up and swept his eyes towards Li Tianyu's side, finally locking onto a young man.
The young man was carrying a backpack, from which the sound of insects flapping their wings could be heard faintly. The young man looked nervous, but he had nowhere to escape, so he could only walk onto the stage and confront the other party.
The man with the broken arm was named One-armed Snake Man. He originally had both arms intact, but in order to make his incense story more attractive and his incense statue as different and outstanding as possible, he cut off his left arm.
He controls all the snakes in the world and is related to snakes. The young man carrying the basket on his back is called the Lord of Insects, who controls poisonous creatures, insects, and beasts in the world, and is vaguely in conflict with the One-armed Snake Man.
So this incense battle was between the one-armed snake man and the insect king. The two began to debate. It was extremely quiet outside the venue, and only the two voices could be heard.
These incense gods knew who they would be fighting against before this incense game, so they were all prepared. Li Tianyu was calm and thought that he would win this time. This was because this poisonous snake man and the previous Hua Gu were once a Taoist couple and had done many evil things.
The Insect King only needed to imitate the incense-collecting boy to win. As expected, when the argument was getting heated, the Insect King brought out his ultimate weapon, accusing the One-armed Snake Man of his past and revealing his true identity, saying that he had committed countless evil deeds, even worse than the Flower Girl, and that they were a poisonous couple who did not deserve to be worshipped by others.
However, unexpectedly, the one-armed snake man was not like Hua Gu, who lost her ability to fight back in an instant. Instead, he said that he had laid down his butcher knife and became a Buddha on the spot. His past sins were gone, and he had saved countless people over the hundreds of years.
They even bit back, saying that Chongjun was narrow-minded, obsessed with the past and unable to see the road ahead.
Seeing that his killing move was ineffective, the Insect King panicked and was eventually defeated. The one-armed snake man took advantage of the Insect King's distraction and gently patted the poisonous snake's neck. Then, the poisonous snake opened its mouth, flew over, and swallowed the Insect King in one gulp.
Chongjun's own cultivation was only at the level of a spirit being transformed, and his cultivation was too shallow. Even though he knew that the one-armed snake man had an illegitimate origin and pointed it out, the one-armed snake man still had his own way of making excuses.
If a person with profound Taoist skills came and took out this "killing weapon", every word of which was as loud as a bell and piercing to the heart, the one-armed snake man would not be able to argue, and he would not even be able to stand steadily.
The dispute over incense is no easier than the discussion of the Dao. Li Tianyu frowned and thought, "I only thought that I could win the debate by finding the opponent's weakness, but I didn't expect that the two of them had such different views on the Dao and incense. It's not unfair that Chongjun lost."
