Chapter 1863 True or False (One More)
There was silence in the big tent, but there were faint shouts from outside, and the murderous aura was soaring. It was obvious that soldiers in the army were practicing, and they all contained strong blood and evil spirit, which made the power of this formation even higher.
The most powerful military formation is when fighting. Once the two armies confront each other, the military formation is astonishingly powerful. Unfortunately, the military formation is difficult to maintain for a long time. After a blow, it often disperses and fights independently or forms a smaller military formation.
And when this kind of sergeant is practicing, the power of the army formation is also very strong, stronger than when the soldiers are resting at night.
After a while, footsteps sounded, Zheng Xilai strode in, followed by a thin middle-aged man who was Ning Ze.
Ning Ze bowed after entering the army tent, with a long wooden box under his left arm.
"Master Sun, King Zhao Fa, please look, this is the branch of dragon's blood." Zheng Xilai pointed to the wooden box with a smile.
When Ning Ze came to Sun Mingyue, he didn't dare to look at her clear and charming phoenix eyes, so he lowered his head and opened the wooden box.
There are two dead branches in the box, as strong and thin as cast iron, the whole body is bright red as if painted with cinnabar, a little redder than fresh blood, the whole body has no branches and leaves, and there are faint scales flickering on the branches, which seem to be dragon scales.
"This is the blood dragon branch?" Sun Mingyue glanced lightly: "Your Majesty won't deceive me with fake branches that I haven't seen the blood dragon tree before?"
"Don't worry, Master!" Zheng Xilai hurriedly waved his hands and said with a smile, "I'm not this kind of person!"
"I hope not." Sun Mingyue cast a noncommittal glance at Chu Li.
Chu Li nodded, took two steps forward to Ning Ze, and took the wooden box with his hand.
Ning Ze stared at the dead branches in the wooden box with some reluctance, and said in a deep voice, "It will wither in three days."
"Understood." Chu Li nodded.
His Kurongjing is running, although there is no aura around him, it can be transformed into aura from his internal force. This is the beauty of the Kurongjing. The aura and internal force can be transformed into each other, as if they are one.
After the spiritual energy entered the two dead branches, Chu Li's face changed slightly, he turned to look at Ning Ze with a look of reluctance, and then at the smiling Zheng Xilai.
"What's going on?" Sun Mingyue said in a deep voice.
Chu Li poked the wooden box forward and returned it to Ning Ze.
Ning Ze was startled, and subconsciously reached out to take it.
Chu Li turned his head and cupped his fists, and said solemnly: "Qi, the leader, these two branches are dead, completely withered, lifeless!"
Sun Mingyue's jade face was covered by a white gauze, so she couldn't see the change in her face, but she could see that her phoenix eyes were flickering, slowly solidifying, and her spotless snow-white shirt trembled slightly, as if she was in a strong wind.
Zheng Xilai hurriedly said: "Master Sun!"
Sun Mingyue's phoenix eyes slowly retracted, and she glanced lightly at Zheng Xilai: "Your Majesty really disappointed me!"
"It must be a mistake!" Zheng Xilai hurriedly said: "I have already ordered them to go down, they dare not disobey, even if it is a blood dragon tree, this Zhao Fawang, the branches of the blood dragon tree look like this, let alone the branches, Even the whole blood dragon tree is like this, it looks bare and has no leaves, only the trunk, and it doesn't look like a living thing, it's more like a fake tree made of iron."
Chu Li chuckled lightly and didn't speak.
Sun Mingyue said indifferently: "To tell you the truth, King Zhao Fa is famous for his excellent martial arts. In fact, what he is best at is not martial arts, but the technique of planting spiritual grass. He has a very high talent for planting spiritual grass. The sensory sensitivity is very sharp, and you can feel the vitality of the spirit grass, whether it is vigorous or weak, just by touching it."
"Is there such a talent?" Zheng Xilai looked at Chu Li curiously.
Sun Mingyue said: "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have to ask for the blood dragon branch!"
"So that's it!" Zheng Xilai laughed and said, "It seems that the leader thinks that Zhao Fawang can feed the blood dragon branches and plant them into blood dragon trees!"
"How do you know if you don't try?" Sun Mingyue said lightly.
"Xiao Ning, what's the matter with you?" Zheng Xilai's complexion suddenly sank, and he said coldly like a block of ice: "You actually lied to me, thinking that I can't tell whether it's dead or alive, so I can cross the sea?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Ning Ze quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed vigorously, and said in a deep voice, "The blood dragon tree is cherished, but Master Sun and the others are just wasting their efforts and wasting blood dragon branches, so I make my own decisions. I just used two dead branches, if they don’t know life and death, they will be no different from dead ones.”
"What if you can identify the living and the dead?" Zheng Xilai sneered and said, "Then make me lose face?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Ning Ze kowtowed again, "I am willing to be punished!"
"Shut up!" Zheng Xilai waved his hands, and said angrily, "Other people think that our monarch and ministers are playing a cruel trick!"
Sun Mingyue looked at him with bright eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Knowing that Sun Mingyue saw through Zheng Xilai, he said embarrassingly: "This..., Hierarch Sun, it's really a lax rule, a sin, and a crime, Hierarch Sun has never encountered such a thing, right?"
"He is also loyal, needless to say, just use it to live." Sun Mingyue said lightly.
"Sun Hierarch is so broad-minded, I am really ashamed!" Zheng Xilai shook his head and sighed, and then shouted: "Hurry up and get the live blood dragon branch!"
"Yes!" Ning Ze hurriedly got up, picked up the wooden box and started to leave.
Chu Liyang raised his hand: "Wait!"
Ning Ze paused, and looked at Chu Li suspiciously.
Chu Li said: "Since it's a dead branch, it's useless for you to keep it, so I took it out, then let's keep these two dead branches as well. Too much fuss."
"This..." Ning Ze looked at Zheng Xilai.
Zheng Xilai nodded and smiled, "Okay, just two dead branches, as long as King Zhao Fa doesn't spread the word."
"It's natural." Chu Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we also have to keep it secret, and we don't want outsiders to know."
"Hehe..., that's right." Zheng Xilai said with a smile: "This is our common secret!... Hurry up and get out!"
Ning Ze handed the wooden box to Chu Li, cupped his fists in a salute, turned around and strode away.
Chu Li opened the wooden box and measured the blood dragon branch from top to bottom.
"King Zhao Fa, I wonder what you want this dead branch for?" Zheng Xilai said with a smile, "No matter how precious the blood dragon tree is, this dead branch is worthless. It is neither hard nor useful. It is no different from ordinary branches."
The Dazheng imperial family has studied the blood dragon tree very deeply, so naturally this blood dragon branch has also studied deeply. The wood is brittle and soft, which is completely different from when it was alive. When it is alive, it is stronger than iron and stone, and the sword will not hurt.
They also tried various methods, such as grinding it into powder to drink, grinding it into powder to concoct alchemy, boiling it into potion, etc. After trying many methods, they finally came to the conclusion that once it withered, it would be waste, so they ignored it.
Chu Li said: "It's actually useless, but I want to compare the dead branches with the live ones to see if there are any clues of cultivation and to find the method of cultivation. Your Majesty will not tell you, will you?"
"Haha, well, my ancestors have a ban, and I absolutely can't say it." Zheng Xilai shook his head and smiled.
Chu Li smiled and said, "According to my guess, it's using dragon's blood?"
Zheng Xilai was startled, then laughed and said: "King Zhao Fa is really interesting, our Dazheng is not Yinxianshan, there is no dragon."
Chu Li could tell from Zheng Xilai's expression that it was indeed not dragon's blood.
This is a bit troublesome.
