Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 649: The Great Shaman's Prophecy
At this time, Zhao Mu touched Li Canghai's hand and said, "I wonder if Uncle Master is willing to live happily and carefree with my nephew?"

Li Canghai pushed Zhao Mu's hand away and said, "Forget it. Let's not talk about the fact that I am several decades older than you. Just based on our relationship, it is impossible for me to go back to Xixia with you. Let's just regard our relationship as a fleeting love affair. I have a man like you in my life, and it is not in vain."

Zhao Mu asked, "Since you are unwilling to go back to Lingzhou with me, what are your plans, Uncle Master?"

Li Canghai said: "Of course I will go back to Muye Mountain. I have been a goddess priestess for the Liao Dynasty for so many years. Naturally, I have to continue doing it."

Zhao Mu couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He said, "Master, why are you so obsessed? The Liao Dynasty? In a few days, this country will no longer exist. Master, your career as a great shaman will also come to an end. Are you planning to stop me from conquering the Liao Dynasty?"

Li Canghai spread out her disheveled chest at this time, and even the clothes she put on hastily revealed a little bit of her body.

Li Canghai said at this time: "Stop you? Now even I have been involved, how can I stop you? Now I have done my best, and it is worth it that the people of Liao Kingdom have worshipped me for so many years. Now it seems that the fate of the Liao Dynasty is really coming to an end. But I want to ask you for something."

Zhao Mu asked, "What's the matter? Uncle Master, please feel free to tell me."

Li Canghai said: "That is, can you spare the people of Liao in this war? And the royal family of Liao? Although the officials and soldiers of Liao are a bit abominable, what are the people's faults? After you destroy Liao in the future, can you kill less and be more merciful?"

Zhao Mu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, uncle, I can't agree to this."

Hearing this, Li Canghai felt a little disappointed.

Zhao Mu continued, "I cannot agree to your request because this matter was decided after consultation between His Majesty and all the civil and military officials. Although I am also called His Majesty, I am actually just a general with great achievements under His Majesty. Therefore, I cannot interfere in this matter. Besides, the destruction of Liao is not the responsibility of our Song alone."

Li Canghai heard this and said, "Why? Are there other people? Could it be that Xixia is also going to intervene this time?"

Zhao Mu shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Xixia and Liao are not bordering each other now, so even if Xixia wants to intervene, it won't benefit them at all. So Xixia will not intervene in this war between Song and Liao. In the future, even if Xixia invades, it will only invade the Tubo and Uighur tribes in the west. This time, our allies of the Song Dynasty are the Gusu Murong clan, whom I support, and Goryeo. Oh, and the 'Jin' regime established by the Jurchens."

Li Canghai had no reaction to Murong Fu and Gaoli. He asked, "Jin! Is it really Jurchen?"

Zhao Mu saw Li Canghai's expression and asked, "What's wrong? Why is Uncle Master so surprised?"

Li Canghai said: "My predecessor, the Great Shaman, had divined before. The result of the divination was that the Jin would destroy the Liao, and the birth gate of the Liao was to the west of the stone. Before, I looked at the prophecy and suspected that the one who would destroy the Liao would be the Jurchens. But I didn't expect it to be them."

Zhao Mu was also a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that there really was such a god in this world. Zhao Mu was not surprised that she could predict that "Jin would destroy Liao".

This is because the Jurchens are brave and good at fighting, and they hide in the deep mountains and forests. They are also in the hinterland of the Liao Kingdom. Therefore, for the Song Dynasty, this internal enemy is the most deadly. Anyone with insight can see this.

What surprised Zhao Mu was the prophecy "Zai Shi to the west" at the end.

Because in the original time and space, the Liao Dynasty did perish at the hands of the Jin Dynasty regime established by the Jurchen tribe. However, the Liao Dynasty did not completely perish, and Yelu Dashi went all the way west and revived the Liao Dynasty on the grassland, known as the Western Liao Dynasty. This Western Liao Dynasty even expanded to Central Asia and was still a leading power. Until the rise of the Mongol Empire a hundred years later, this Western Liao Dynasty perished under the usurpation of the Naiman Prince Qu Chulug, and was eventually conquered by the Mongols. It ended its own legend.

However, Zhao Mu did not believe in all of these prophecies, but he did not completely disbelieve them either. He did not believe in them because the gods and ghosts were illusory and difficult to control, and if he believed in them superstitiously, he would fall into the trap of others.

I don't completely disbelieve it because sometimes things are just so weird, and just the Tui Bei Tu is enough to explain the problem. Maybe there really is such a mysterious art in this world.

However, this mysterious art was just a lie to Zhao Mu at the moment, because the world was moving in the direction he hoped for, and it no longer belonged to the original history.

Perhaps those priests and prophets were just travelers from the main world like him, but they did not rewrite history due to the continuity of time and space or other reasons.

Or maybe!!! The main world that Zhao Mu lived in before was the product of someone traveling through time and changing the original historical timeline.

But whether it was Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly or the butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou, no one could tell.

Li Canghai saw Zhao Mu's equally surprised expression and asked, "What's wrong with you? You seem to be shocked by this as well."

Zhao Mu came back to his senses and said, "Oh! It's nothing. I just didn't expect there would be such a god. I just don't know when the great shaman before you, uncle, made the divination?"

Li Canghai said, "About forty years ago. At that time, I was living in seclusion in Muye Mountain and became friends with her. At that time, she divined this result, but no one knew what this 'gold' was. The great shaman divined that it was gold in the east and earth to the west. At that time, the royal family and nobles of my Great Liao believed that this gold should refer to the Jurchen tribe. So my Great Liao began to expel the Jurchen tribe. But I still don't understand what the last 'earth to the west' means."

Zhao Mu said at this time: "Oh! I think I understand."

Li Canghai asked: "What do you understand?"

Zhao Mu then started to talk nonsense: "This Liao Shengmen, with earth and rocks facing west, might be referring to me."

"You?" Li Canghai laughed disdainfully and said, "Don't be ridiculous. Your name is Zhao Mu, and the word Mu has nothing to do with earth or stone."

Zhao Mu said at this time: "But my country's name was 'Qi' before, and Qi has a mountain in it, and it is also on the west. Aren't mountains just bigger rocks? I had an agreement with Yelu Yanxiu before that all the women of the Liao royal family and ministers would belong to me. And the princes and grandchildren of Liao could re-establish a country in the west. Doesn't this coincide with the divination of the great shaman?"

After hearing what Zhao Mu said, Li Canghai also took a breath of cold air, and then said: "Hiss~! If this is true, it does coincide with the divination. By the way! Will you really keep the Liao Dynasty?"

Zhao Mu said at this time: "I swear to heaven, this is absolutely true. Besides, keeping Liao is also beneficial to our Song Dynasty. This time, we are just destroying Liao for our own benefit."
