Lord God: Times have changed

Chapter 405 The Family
"It seems that it is half a step too late after all."

Zhou Ming followed Qin Qiong back to the palace, and after hearing Li Shimin explain the situation, he couldn't help sighing.

His speed is actually fast enough.

After coming to this world, through the largest-scale diffusion of spiritual power, I obtained a large amount of information and summarized it to determine the plot development of this world. Then I came to this palace, talked to Li Shimin, and asked him to send someone to collect holy objects.

But the giant witch Taiken is obviously more cautious in doing things. There are more than 40 sacred objects enshrined in the entire land of China, and more than 30 families of them have encountered inexplicable attacks.

The attacker was without a doubt the subordinate of the giant witch Taeken.

The latest of these attacks was yesterday and the earliest was twelve days ago.

Twelve days!
At that time, even the terracotta warriors were not resurrected!

And at that time, the subordinates of the giant witch Taeken had already acted for today's matter.

No matter how powerful Zhou Ming was, it was impossible for him to stop what had happened before he entered this world.

However, he was actually not that disappointed.

Because he didn't expect Li Shimin and the others to defeat any enemy, as long as he could hold the enemy back during the battle, so as not to put himself in danger.

Although the enemy is strong, to Zhou Ming, the only real threat is the god-killing sickle.

If the enemy's three strong men besieged him, two of them blocked his actions, and the remaining one attacked him with a god-killing sickle, then even Zhou Ming might be in danger.

Of course, this is actually Zhou Ming's guess. He has never seen how powerful the God Slaying Scythe is, so he has no idea.

But since it can kill the gods and break the seals set by the gods, it must be very powerful.

For the sake of caution, Zhou Ming guessed its power in terms of strength.

However, no matter how powerful it is, it is just an item, and if it wants to play a role, it still needs the cooperation of people.

If during the battle, with the assistance of all the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention how much, it is only necessary to hold back one strong man from the enemy, then even if the remaining two strong men besiege him, Zhou Ming thinks that he can escape smoothly. Will be hit by that god-killing sickle.

Plus, there are other reincarnations.

Even if their strength is not as good as their own, they can still hold back a strong man if they think about it together.

The most ideal situation is naturally that Zhou Ming deals with the giant witch Taiken alone, the safety is the highest.

"How many holy objects are still usable?"

Zhou Ming asked.

Li Shimin replied: "There are only six pieces left, including the Seven Star Longyuan Sword enshrined by my Li family."

"That's alright, try to invite all the remaining holy objects. In addition, invite all the powerful people from the major aristocratic families who can be invited, and the recruitment list for folk masters must also be strengthened."

Li Shimin sighed and said, "That's the only way to go."

The so-called worship, of course, does not mean asking the whole family to come and offer a stick of incense every day.

In fact, it was a ritual.

First of all, the ancestral hall must be established, where many ancestral tablets and sacred objects are enshrined. Every member of the family must prostrate once in the ancestral hall and drip blood.

After that, the ancestors will be worshiped once a year. When worshiping the ancestors, not everyone in the family needs to be there, but at least one person from each lineage is required.

After completing the ancestor worship, within a year after that, part of the mysterious and invisible powers such as luck, faith, incense, etc. of the entire family will be extracted, and under the strange ceremony, a special power of worship will be formed and poured into the Among the holy things.

In other words, as long as it is a sacred object, after the power in it is exhausted, it will take at least a year to recover a little.

But this power of consecration can only guarantee that the weakest holy object can be used once.

For those who are a little bit more powerful, they all need five or six points of offering power.

But like the sword of Confucius and the level of the Analects of Confucius, it takes more than ten years of worship to accumulate the power for one use.

Therefore, it is impossible to recover the power of these sacred objects in a short period of time. Without the sacred objects, the combat power of the high-level is not as good, so they can only find ways to increase the combat power of the middle and low-level.

Li Shimin also became ruthless, and immediately sent people to various families to invite the strong to come out, and at the same time asked all the families to invite out all the sacred objects enshrined by their families.

Although these holy objects have no power of enshrining and cannot exert the power of the holy objects, they themselves are actually the top magic soldiers under the holy objects.

It's just that the relationship between the major families and the imperial court is not so good. Even if the statement is strong, it may not be so easy to invite, especially when the power of the sacred objects enshrined in their families is consumed and the family's greatest heritage is lost. There is an inexplicable sense of crisis.

But Li Shimin is also an emperor who came out of gold and iron horses. Now that he has made up his mind, how can he allow those aristocratic families to refuse?

Send ordinary strong people to invite first, if the invitation fails, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others will come to the door and forcefully invite them.

The great families who lost their holy relics had no power to resist at all, so they could only choose to obey orders.

There is one thing to say, although it is to deal with the resurrected Great Qin, Li Shimin's actions may also have some selfish motives.

After all, those aristocratic families confronted him secretly, and they were a little bit uncomfortable.Now, taking advantage of the opportunity to forcefully suppress the aristocratic family, it can be regarded as a sigh of relief for what happened before.

Moreover, at this moment, many aristocratic families are being raided and the power of the sacred objects is exhausted, which is indeed the best opportunity to suppress them.

If it wasn't for the imminent threat of Daqin, I'm afraid Li Shimin might really take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out many aristocratic families in one fell swoop.

Under the strong threat, at noon the next day, the patriarchs of the major families and many strong men had already arrived in Chang'an to worship the Tang Emperor in the palace.

Li Shimin then explained the situation at the moment, but the patriarchs of many aristocratic families were dubious, and Li Shimin didn't say much. After inviting them to have lunch, he directly led all the strong people to climb the city wall and look at the people on the other side of the Weishui River. Xianyang.

All the Patriarchs were shocked when they saw it.

The ancient city of Xianyang has long been abandoned. Some of them traveled around the world when they were young, and saw the ancient city of Xianyang.

Looking at it now, it is a majestic ancient city, with towering walls, unattainable, thick as a mountain, and a faint brilliance on the surface, which looks better and stronger than the walls of Chang'an City.

Looking beyond the city wall, looking into the city, a majestic palace can be vaguely seen, looming in the smoke.

Everyone recalled that the location of the palace was clearly the former Qin Palace.

But that royal palace has long since disappeared into the mist of history, but now it seems that it has returned directly from the distant Great Qin after a thousand years.

"Look, those standing on the city wall of Xianyang are resurrected terracotta warriors."

Li Shimin pointed to the opposite city wall and said.

Everyone looked and saw one armored soldier after another on the city wall, standing upright, but their faces were stiff, like puppets.

Witnessed by their own eyes, all the Patriarchs already believed it in their hearts. Looking back on what Li Shimin said before, they all felt that this matter was very bad.

Just like what Li Shimin had thought before, the patriarchs of these aristocratic families also understood that if Qin Shihuang ruled the world, these aristocratic families would probably all have to restrain their strength and obediently be Qin Shihuang's dogs.

Otherwise, it is death.

Although Li Shimin has been confronting them secretly in recent years, it is also the kind that comes and goes.

Compared with Qin Shihuang, they are obviously more willing to let Li Shimin be the emperor.

At that moment, Fan Yang Lu's patriarch took half a step forward and asked, "May I ask Your Majesty, how many and how strong are these terracotta warriors?"

Li Shimin didn't speak, but turned his head and gave Li Jing a wink.

Li Jing replied on his behalf: "Ordinary terracotta warriors and horses are comparable in strength to elite soldiers. However, terracotta warriors and horses have extremely strong defensive power, and their skin is like rocks. Therefore, ordinary elite soldiers are not opponents one-on-one. It may take five or six To deal with one.

Moreover, the beheading and piercing of the terracotta warriors and horses will not be fatal. Only by smashing their bodies into pieces can they be eliminated.

In this way, it is even more difficult to deal with. "

When everyone heard the words, their faces were ugly.

Li Jing went on to say: "On the ordinary terracotta warriors and horses, there are terracotta warriors and horses at the commander level, Quhou level, school lieutenant level, and general level terracotta warriors. Among them, the general level terracotta warriors are not much different from Yaojin in strength.

Beyond that, we don't really know.But it is certain that the revived First Emperor Yingzheng and God of War Wang Jian are all holy existences.There is also a giant witch, Taiken, who is also at the same level. "

After all, they were just trying to find out before, so they didn't have a deep understanding of the power in Xianyang City.

But even so, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom of the lake.

"As for the quantity, it is conservatively estimated to be more than [-]!"

The last sentence gave everyone a critical blow.

Each of the 70 terracotta warriors and horses needs six or seven elite soldiers with hundreds of battles to deal with. Counting the [-] terracotta warriors and horses, you need [-] million elite soldiers with a hundred battles to be considered a tie.

But the entire Tang Dynasty could not produce so many elite soldiers.

Then you can only go the second way, the strong crush!
A strong man with unparalleled strength can completely crush the entire army by relying on his personal strength.

Therefore, on the battlefield in the world of high martial arts, no matter how many ordinary soldiers there are, it is not the key to determining the outcome of the war.

The strong are.

But unfortunately, the strong on the Qin side seem to be stronger than those on the Tang side.

Three saints!

But on their side, there is not a single saint level.The most powerful ones are Li Shimin and the others, but they only have the strength of human beings.

Thinking of this, many people feel regretful and feel that they should not come here.

These aristocratic families can be passed on for thousands of years, so the family naturally has a mature talent training plan. To become the head of the aristocratic family, there are basically no fools, and the worst is a middle-class talent.

They can all see the weakness of the Great Tang against the Great Qin, and naturally they can also understand that it is not a good thing for them if the Great Qin is resurrected and rules the world again.

But no matter how bad things are, they can't be worse than death, nor can they be worse than extermination.

It's not that they regret not seeing the situation clearly, on the contrary, it is precisely because they have seen clearly that they regret it.

The current situation is clearly that Great Qin is strong and Great Tang is weak.

Maybe in the future, this Great Tang will be wiped out by Great Qin.And they are standing in Datang's camp at this moment, naturally they have become enemies of Daqin.

With Qin Shihuang's character, it is impossible to be merciful in the face of the enemy.

In this way, coming to Chang'an today to support Li Shimin will naturally become a way to kill.

This is why they regret it.

Li Shimin's strength has reached the limit of human beings, he can see all directions with his eyes, and listen to all directions with his ears. Although there are many people on the city wall at this moment, he can clearly see everyone's eyes and expressions.

Those patriarchs who regretted in their hearts were immediately noticed by him, and he couldn't help but groaned in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

Because eyes and expressions are never grounds for conviction.

Moreover, it is definitely not just these few people who regret this matter, but it is only because the expressions of these few people are not properly managed that it will show up.

A real old fox, even if he regrets it in his heart, will not show any sign in front of Li Shimin, and will only make other plans after going back.

For example, fornicating Daqin and secretly betraying him.

But what kind of character is Li Shimin?

In terms of wisdom and cunning, he will never lose to the heads of these families. He immediately said: "After the return of the Great Qin, there has been no action for a few days. I am afraid that we will make a breakthrough. Before our side was short of manpower and strength, now everyone has paid attention to it. , let’s take action together to test how many strong people there are in Xianyang City.”

As soon as this was said, everyone cursed in their hearts.

What temptation?
It is simply to let them present their votes!

If you really fight, how can you surrender in the future?How to betray?

Everyone wanted to refuse, but they realized that there were footsteps behind them. Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong had unknowingly blocked the way out of the city wall.

Many soldiers around were also fiddled with the weapons in their hands.

Don't think about it, if they dare to refuse now, I'm afraid Li Shimin will not be polite.

After all, most of their families have already lost the power of the sacred objects, and they also have no resistance against the four extreme human beings.

Man is a knife, I am a fish!

The Patriarchs were unwilling in their hearts, but they could only hold their fists together to accept the order.

"His Majesty."

The Patriarch of the Li family in Longxi held a divine sword in both hands, and presented it to Li Shimin. It was the sacred object enshrined by the Li family, Seven Star Dragon Yuan!

Li Shimin took the holy object and was about to give an order, but unexpectedly, a whisk swept across his face, causing his movements to stop.

Zhou Mingdao: "Your Majesty's golden body should not be moved lightly. Let this matter be left to the poor."

Li Shimin was stunned, thinking of Zhou Ming's strength, he said, "Okay, I beg the Taoist priest."

Zhou Ming nodded, then put away the dust whisk, and a dark red light condensed in his hand, which turned into a ball of light in an instant.

An extremely powerful and terrifying aura spread out, making everyone present tremble with fear.

"This... this power..."

"Can't go wrong!"

"Holy! In the land of Shenzhou, there is actually a saint in this world!"

Before, Li Shimin also introduced Zhou Ming and talked about his strength, but of course Li Shimin couldn't say that Zhou Ming had suppressed them all before, so he brushed off the matter.

Although all the Patriarchs heard it, they didn't take it seriously, they just regarded it as a hidden powerhouse among the people.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ming's strength has reached the level of a saint!
