Everyone should be up now, right? Fu Jiong said indifferently, "Isn't it from Jiangnan that Zuoqiu Jie should succeed the previous emperor?"It is said that there is someone else... er, what is his name? "

"This may be just a rumor. The court has sent people to calm it down, so there is nothing to explain."

"You can't say that, the rumors are groundless, there must be a reason for him." Fu Jiong said.

"So, this is what you are discussing this time." Wei Lingyu speculated. "Forget it, it's not Wei's control, let's resign first."

【Peach Blossom Box】

In the room, Gu Xi and Mu Yin had already set up formations to prevent the walls from having ears and the darkness from having eyes.

The group of people has heard the conversation between Fu Jiong and those two clearly just now, and it seems that they can understand it tonight.Right now it's just arranging for someone to inquire.

"Let Benhou go tonight." Gu Xi said, "Brother, you will be with Benhou."

Wei Shengni, Song Yanchu, Miuyin and Hua Xiangrong were silent, and Gu Xi also knew that the relationship between the four of them was a bit awkward, so he didn't say any more, and said, "Ah Ni, Doctor Song and seniors are staying here. To run around. Ben Hou also asked Shang Shifang to lurk nearby, just in case."

"Forget it, this matter is also boring." Wei Shengni carefully tore off the skin for Song Yanchu as he spoke, caressing the other's face distressedly, "Yanchu, are you uncomfortable?"

"It's okay." Song Yanchu smiled gently and shook his head.

Hua Xiangrong looked at Gu Xi, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything.

"Benhou knows that my brother is thinking about his biological father, but now that he is here, it is better to inquire about the movements of those guys in the martial arts, maybe he can find out something about your father."

Hua Xiangrong slightly nodded, he has always had a bad reputation in the martial arts these years, presumably those who know the truth will not tell him the truth.So this time may be an opportunity.

into the night.

The shadow of the moon is whirling, under the fragrance of the sky, amidst the splashing ink, people are full of resentment.

This time Cheng Ao invited many respected and respected recluses in the martial arts world, including He Li, a hermit from Jiangu, Wang Jingnan, the founder of Huya Taoquan, and Qiang Liang, a man from Lingnan Umbrella.These three were Optimus Prime in the martial arts more than ten years ago.

"Everyone has come from afar, I understand the hardships. But today's matter is not limited to rumors in the south of the Yangtze River. Please listen to me patiently." Seeing that there were no objections from the crowd, Cheng Ao continued: "First of all, the rumors According to the imperial court, someone deliberately spread rumors in an attempt to defy the sky, and people have been sent to investigate."

"The results of the investigation so far have been fruitless." Lu Jiyou said sarcastically, "In fact, the martial arts and the imperial court have always been in check and balance, but the relationship between the emperor and us is becoming more and more anxious."

"Based on Leader Cheng's intention, it would be better to let that so-called 'Liuting' be the emperor?" Fu Jiong was always impatient, so he said before Cheng Ao finished speaking.

"If the emperor continues to do this, the pressure will be invisible, and the stability of the country will not be guaranteed. Not only the court, but even the martial arts have not been able to find out the origin of the rumors in the south of the Yangtze River. There must be something hidden behind it, and it is very likely that it is to provoke the two. It’s because of the relationship with those involved.” Cheng Ao calmly analyzed, “So no matter whether it’s true or not, everyone should not act rashly.”

"Hmph," Tie Zhen said, "No one needs to provoke, the relationship between the martial arts and the imperial court has always been incompatible." Tie Zhen put the rusty sword on her lap, her delicate face was full of resentment and sarcasm, her almond eyes swept over everyone present. Or, seems to be confirming the fact.

"What Iron Girl said is reasonable." Cheng Ao nodded, and then changed the topic: "But this is exactly the effect that the behind-the-scenes instigator wanted. In this way, the imperial court and martial arts will fight each other, and the fisherman will reap all the benefits."

Tie Zhen was taken aback when she heard the words, and then her face turned red, she said a little guilty: "Who has such a great ability to deal with martial arts and the court?"

"Perhaps there really is such a person." At this moment, He Li, a hermit from Jiangu, said quietly, "The world has undergone minor changes in five years, and great changes in ten years. Talented people from all walks of life emerge one after another. Who can guarantee that there will be no one ambitious to conquer the world in vain? ?”

"It's difficult." Lu Jiyou talked to him when he saw this. "At the beginning, the imperial courts of all countries were unable to truly conquer the world, and martial arts was a realm beyond their reach."

"The martial arts world is vast and knows no borders. How can the imperial court conquer it?" Wang Jingnan, the founder of Huya Taoquan, also opened the door, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and high spirits. "If the imperial courts of all dynasties can maintain a good relationship with us Relationship, well water does not interfere with river water, it is enough! If Wulin mobilizes power to overthrow the imperial court, it does not mean that it is impossible. So now some people try to break this balance beam, hoping that the snipe and clam will fight for the fisherman's benefit, we must not fall into it His plan!"

"What Senior Wang said is true!" Bai Fangyu couldn't help agreeing. "Let's not be fooled by him!"

Everyone also agreed with Wang Jingnan's statement, they all agreed that the current situation should be slowed down first, and they must not fall out with the court, otherwise the rumormongers will succeed.

Only Tiezhen, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, looked at these agreeing people.

Cheng Ao's expression did not change, and he continued: "It seems that at the moment, everyone thinks that there should be no action with the court. But," he changed the subject, looked at Tie Zhen with a hint, and said, "The next thing to say is I don’t know if I can keep everyone in the original thinking.”

Everyone was quiet, and looked at Cheng Ao curiously—because it was impossible to call so many leaders of sects in a big way based on the rumors.

Cheng Ao gestured to Tie Zhen with his eyes, and the latter got up slowly under the gaze of everyone, walked to the center of the ink-splash room, and said, "Thank you for listening to the little girl, and going back to the turmoil ten years ago." After reading this, she His eyes dimmed, as if melting into the darkness of memories.

Ten years ago, two huge sects, Xishan School and Tiezhai School, were destroyed overnight. Fan Yi and Tie Yishan died bleakly, which is chilling. The bloody looting shook the world.As a result, the martial arts forces in Yasukuni also fled one after another. Fortunately, after the storm subsided, they gradually moved back.Now that things have happened, many people will not deliberately mention what happened ten years ago, which is not conducive to the harmony between the martial arts and the court today.

"Everyone understands that ten years ago, the imperial court sent heavy troops to surround Tiezhai under the pretext of leaking the treasury's weapons privately. No matter how powerful my father is, he could not defeat those secret guards of the imperial court." The scene of Tiezhai’s fall is vivid in my memory, as if it was yesterday, “Soon Tiezhai became a thing of the past, and the court finally got rid of his serious worries. Everyone understands that the court used a grandiose reason to get rid of Tiezhai. And Xishan The demise of Pai is even more of a mystery." Tie Zhen looked at the crowd meaningfully.

At that time, the head of the Xishan School was called Fan Yi, whose martial arts were amazing and frightening. With his support, the Xishan School also prospered and competed with Tiezhai.Fan Yi has been devoting himself to cultivating the highest level of burning kung fu, but in the end he inevitably failed and exploded to death. It is said that he suddenly went into a maddened state while practicing and was unable to rescue him, so he was burned to ashes all over the place by the flames.

After Fan Yi's death, the Xishan faction had no leader, killed each other, and fell apart. What's more strange is that the collapse of the Xishan faction and the fall of Tiezhai happened on the same day.Judging from the public opinion at the time, it was definitely the imperial court that wanted to get rid of these two serious worries, but no strong evidence could be found, so it has become a mystery to this day.

"The power of the Xishan faction was indeed on Tiezhai at that time, and the Xishan faction was located in a remote place, and had no contact with the imperial court, so it was much more difficult for the imperial court to destroy the Xishan faction." Tie Zhen said, "The matter of the Xishan faction , because there is no evidence, it has been shelved until now. Not long ago, when the little girl was sorting out her father's belongings, she happened to find something interesting."

Under everyone's surprise, Tie Zhen asked someone to slowly present a stack of scrolls, the pages were yellowed and covered with dense handwriting.

"Father has always had the habit of keeping track of things. Every day, no matter how big or small, he will carefully record the scrolls. These scrolls were brought out by the elders of Tiezhai from the pursuit of the court at the risk of life and death," she said, flipping When I got to one of the pages, I carefully held it up for everyone to see, "I found such a page in this scroll - it was recorded in March of the 12th year of Rong Ye, which was exactly two months before the demise of Tiezhai. The content of the daily diary roughly means: Fan Yi, the head of the Xishan School, decided to retreat for three months in order to cultivate the highest level of burning kung fu. He also invited four famous alchemists from the East China Sea to create the panacea needed for his cultivation."

Everyone couldn't help wondering, this matter was recorded in such detail, it must be an internal secret of the Xishan sect, how could it leak into the Iron Village? "To tell you the truth, there was inevitably hostility between the Xishan faction and Tiezhai back then, so father has already sent an eyeliner to the Xishan faction to check its movements, and the Xishan faction will also send spies to our village." Tie Zhen explained calmly, "The key to the problem is During the time when Fan Yi was practicing Fen Gong, there were four alchemists by his side, perhaps Fan Yi's spontaneous combustion was inseparable from the relationship between these four alchemists."

"So, Fan Yi didn't go mad, but died of homicide?" Bai Fangyu asked loudly.

"That's right." The corner of Tie Zhen's mouth raised a smile, "In other words, Fan Yi had already found the panacea needed to practice the Fen Gong, but the alchemist tampered with it, deliberately making it go mad and spontaneously combust."

"But after the spontaneous combustion, wouldn't it affect the four alchemists, so they can't escape the fire?" Fu Jiong asked.

"Don't worry, everyone. I found some clues behind Dad's notes." Tie Zhen turned it back a few pages, and then pointed to a line and said: "On May 23 of the same year, here is the record that 'Mazhi, Poria cocos , the left spoon, and the lonely palm are in the alchemy room of Xishan Pi, assisting the master to practice, which is worthy of attention.' And there is another section below that says, 'Mazhi was used as the main medicine first to enter the alchemy room, and then the poria cocos was crushed as an introduction, and it was used as an introduction.
