Fu Luan

In the quiet room, Xie Shigu meditated for three days and three nights.

The spiritual power rushing up and down in the body was rampant over and over again, and it was extremely chaotic.At first, he could barely control it, but the spiritual power became more and more irritable as it progressed, constantly impacting the big acupoints all over his body, and surging in the dantian.

Xie Shigu was sweating profusely on his forehead, his eyes were closed tightly, but he couldn't get away from it, and the voices of Qin Ziyu and Qi Sifan alternated repeatedly in his consciousness.

"You betrayed him."

"You betrayed Shi Wei."

"It's not worth it, and I despise you."

"Life after life, I will never see you again."

No, it's not like that, he only wants Shi Wei, if Shi Wei comes back, if Shi Wei can come back...

Amidst the anxiety, Xie Shigu opened his eyes, and suddenly froze.

The colorful clouds, the beautiful haze, the beautiful flowers and Yao grass are all over the place, and the stars and the bright sky in the daytime together create a strange scene.

It is a fairyland, and it is also the Sea of ​​Stars where he and Shi Wei once lived together.

At that moment, his heart was beating wildly, and he saw Shi Wei standing under the steps of the clouds, his eyes that were always smiling were tender and affectionate, looking at him intently.

He strode forward, and immediately wanted to get to Shi Wei's side, but the short distance seemed endless, no matter how fast he walked, or even ran with all his strength, he still couldn't touch that person, instead, he was getting closer and closer to Shi Wei. Far.

Shi Wei's eyes also changed, it was no longer a heartfelt smile, his eye sockets turned red, and tears gradually flowed out, his originally bright and vivid eyes were covered by despair, the pale cheeks had no blood, he was in pain Whispering: "You betrayed me."

"Never again, ever."

Do not!no!

Shi Wei's figure faded away until he disappeared completely, but the phrase "You betrayed me" sounded like a nightmare over and over again in his ears, and even those painful and desperate eyes gradually merged with the other pair of eyes. Eyes of tears overlap.

The rioting spiritual power rushed to the top in an instant, Xie Shigu opened his eyes suddenly, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

The mind and soul vibrated violently, the hostility in the heart and mouth accumulated to the critical point, and finally took shape and broke free, the inner demon has become.

At the time of the third watch, Le Wuyan suddenly opened his eyes from the sedation, and asked the people around him: "Did you hear any sound?"

Xu Youming listened carefully for a moment, and said, "The sound of the cloud board is coming from the direction of the palace, mourning."

Le Wuyan was surprised when he heard the words: "Who died?"

Xu Youming pinched his fingers and made the final calculation: "The emperor."

"The emperor is dead?"

They killed the heavenly demon who was pretending to be the national teacher just now, and the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty died on the back foot?

Xu Youming lowered his voice: "I was negligent. This day, the demon used sorcery to bind the emperor's life with his own. If he dies, the emperor will naturally not be able to live."

Le Wuyan: "..."

Can you do this?

He asked: "Are you sure that the emperor doesn't have the luck of the emperor, and heaven won't punish us if he dies?"

"No." Xu Youming affirmed.

Le Wuyan immediately felt relieved: "That's all right."

There was a knock on the door outside, followed by Wang De's voice: "You two elders, have you rested already?"

Le Wuyan replied casually: "Not yet, what's the matter?"

Wang Dedao: "The news came from the palace just now that His Majesty has passed away and the whole city is under martial law. The villain is here to say something to the two immortal elders. If there is nothing wrong, it is best not to go out these few days, so as not to collide."

Le Wuyan: "Understood."

After sending the person away, Le Wuyan signaled to Xu Youming: "It's too much work for the celestial venerable, go and deal with the corpse of the demon in the yard, so as not to be confused if people see it."

Xu Youming got up and left expressionlessly under his teasing gaze. When he came back half a quarter of an hour later, Le Wuyan released the Phoenix True Spirit in disgust, covered his body, and helped him get rid of the stench and bloody smell on his body.

Xu Youming strengthened the barrier again, sat back on the couch, and reminded him: "Continue to meditate."

The earth-shaking outside world has little to do with them after all.

In a blink of an eye, there is more than one month.

The servant of King Hui's mansion came to the door in a low-key manner, saying that King Hui invited the two masters to the palace: "The prince said that the two elders must come this way."

The two of them really wanted to know more about the outside news, so they went there, and the servant of the Wang's mansion led them into the mansion through the side door, Ming Jin was already waiting in the main courtyard.

Seeing them, Ming Jin immediately went forward and said with a shattered head, "My emperor brother was just buried, and I didn't even dare to leave the mansion easily before. You should have heard about what happened this month, right?"

Indeed, I heard that the emperor suddenly died suddenly, the princes fought for the throne, and there was a palace change in the palace that night.

Although the Marquis of Changxing was the mother's home of the former empress and the current empress dowager, the second wife did not get along with it, so it would not be a disaster, and the new emperor's ascension to the throne did not reap the benefits.Therefore, everyone in the Hou Mansion kept a low profile this month, and the information they could get was limited.

Ming Jin asked them: "The national teacher disappeared, did you do it?"

"Ah," Le Wuyan didn't hide anything, "He came to trouble us in the middle of the night, we killed him, the emperor was tied up by him, and when he died, the emperor also died."

Ming Jin was just surprised when he heard the words, and there was no sadness at all: "There is such a magic?"

Le Wuyan: "What's the reason you asked us to come?"

Speaking of this, Ming Jin hurriedly said: "Ugly Ba...I mean my junior brother, he is going to prison!"

"Qi Feng?" Le Wuyan suddenly became unhappy, "What's the matter, didn't you promise to help me save him?"

Ming Jin explained helplessly: "After the emperor's brother died that night, because he did not leave an imperial decree to pass on the throne, the other princes refused to accept the crown prince's succession, and led by King Xun, openly declared that the prince was collaborating with the enemy and treason, saying that Qi Feng had sent someone to escort the army who went to Beijing. The eyeliner is the witness, and King Xun also produced physical evidence of the prince's private relationship with the Beili people. In short, it was a mess. King Xun and other princes wanted to force the prince to confess, but the prince had already In one step, he manipulated the forbidden army to control the imperial palace, and killed those who refused to accept him on the spot. After that, countless people in the Japanese capital were imprisoned as their accomplices. Qi Feng and Xun Wang were originally uncles and nephews. If it weren't for the generals of the Northern Army who were afraid of causing trouble, the crown prince might have killed Qi Feng directly."

Le Wuyan was surprised when he heard it, and recalled the scene when he saw the princes that day, the prince seemed to be the one with his nostrils upturned, and he didn't look as good as the other brothers around him, how could he have such abilities?

"So that prince, did he collude with the enemy and treason?"

"Yes," Ming Jin affirmed, "the prince killed those people at that time, and the others dared not oppose the prince's enthronement when they were honest, and the evidence presented by King Xun was also destroyed by the prince. , use the tricks in the Qi-refining entry-level exercise that you gave me, Master, and use spiritual power to detect objects in the air, and secretly exchange things."

"Wait," Le Wuyan interrupted him, "I only gave you the exercises that afternoon, and in just a few hours, you have drawn qi into your body to produce spiritual power?"

Ming Jin said strangely: "It's not that difficult? After I went back, I pondered for two hours according to the content of the exercise book, and I felt that I had already reached the first-level realm of refining Qi mentioned above."

Le Wuyan: "... It is rare for ordinary people to get to the first level of refining Qi in three months, or is it in a place where spiritual energy is abundant in the cultivation world, where spiritual energy is thin, but you can enter within two hours?"

He looked at the person in front of him faintly, he knew that heaven had made such a suitable body for him to hide in this mortal world, how could he use his soul to come back again, just take away this person's reluctance?

Ming Jin was inexplicably stared at by him: "Does this mean that I am talented? But the second level of Qi Refining is not so easy. It's been a month, and it feels like it's still far away."

Le Wuyan asked Xu Youming in his spiritual consciousness: "What would have happened if I had taken his house back then?"

Xu Youming said categorically, "No."

Le Wuyan: "Why not, you said before that even a demon cultivator, as long as he takes away the body of a Taoist cultivator, he can ascend in the end."

Xu Youming: "That is a special method of seizing the house created by the demons. After seizing the house, it should fuse the soul of the original body to confuse the heavens. If I guess correctly, they want to maintain the stability of their souls. They must be able to do so in private. The primordial spirit is out of the body and continues to practice evil spirits, but the ordinary method of seizing the body is just a simple way of seizing the body, and a monk whose cultivation level only reaches the transcending catastrophe stage can see through it at a glance."

Not to mention cheating Heaven.

Ok.

Le Wuyan no longer entangled with this, and signaled Mingjin: "You continue."

Ming Jin said: "I've read the evidence carefully, it's not forged, the crown prince has indeed colluded with the people from Beili, in order to get rid of Qi Feng on the battlefield, but there is one thing that is a bit strange, the crown prince, I can count him as watching him When he grew up, he was just an idiot, without any courage or plan. I never thought that he would be so courageous as to collude with the Beili people, and he could also quickly control the forbidden army in the palace, and even killed his brother who refused to obey him overnight. .”

Le Wuyan: "Then outsiders still call you an idiot?"

Ming Jin was not happy to hear this: "That's an outsider deliberately burying this king. This king is so smart, how could he be an idiot."

Xu Youming cut in his voice: "Who does that prince usually have the most contact with?"

Ming Jin didn't know why he asked this question, but thought for a while and said, "Except for his father and queen mother, only those wives, concubines, officials and attendants in the Eastern Palace."

Le Wuyan turned to Xu Youming: "Do you think there is something wrong with him?"

"The last time I saw him, looking at his appearance, his expression was a bit weird, not like a normal person." Xu Youming said.

Le Wuyan's mind moved: "You mean, someone manipulated your mind?"

"It's not impossible." Xu Youming said.

Ming Jin: "Is it the national teacher? Hasn't he been eliminated by you?"

"If the national teacher can come here, other people may come here like him," Le Wuyan clicked his tongue, "Looking at it this way, there is another mountain, one is in the light, and the other is in the dark. I'm afraid the people behind this are still capable Above the national teacher."

Ming Jin asked: "What should we do?"

Le Wuyan: "You find a way to let us enter the palace again."

"As for Qi Feng," he said to Xu Youming, "you can sneak him out of prison."

Xu Youming didn't say a word, Mingjin said worriedly: "This can't be done, if there is really an expert behind the prince, it's easy to think that you two killed the national teacher, if Qi Feng disappeared out of thin air in prison, wouldn't it be the first in the palace?" One will come to trouble you?"

Le Wuyan: "I didn't say that I would bring Qi Feng back. Of course, it's safest to hide in your Prince Hui's house. The new emperor has to give you some face for the emperor. It's not good. Send someone to search for you."

Ming Jin: "..."

Can he choose to refuse?

On the way back, seeing Xu Youming frowning, Le Wuyan asked him, "What's wrong?"

Xu Youming: "Why do you have to be troublesome?"

"You mean Qi Feng?" Le Wuyan said, "It's not that I want to meddle in other people's business, it's that I have a premonition that the fate of the two of them, I mean Qi Feng and Ming Jin, will be closely related to us, or our Fate will also change because of them."

Hearing this, Xu Youming frowned even tighter: "They are just spirits, they cannot calculate their fate."

As for their own fate?is it possible?

No monk can accurately calculate his own fate, and neither can Xu Youming: "A hunch?"

"Ah, the special perception ability of the Phoenix clan," Le Wuyan said with a smile, "Don't you believe it? Really, it's like when I first saw you, I had a premonition that you would be my Taoist partner."

Xu Youming: "Don't talk nonsense."

"No nonsense," Le Wuyan insisted, "Every hunch of mine is right."

Xu Youming was silent, and finally let go after a while: "I see."

That night, when Ming Jin was concentrating on studying Qigong, he heard noises in the courtyard outside the house, and immediately got up and went out.

The servants on duty in the courtyard had already been waved away by him, and Xu Youming came in the air in the night, left one behind, and said: "Take care of him, give him the medicine in the green bottle to take internally and externally, and the rest For your cultivation."

Ming Jin reached out to catch the Qiankun bag he threw over, Xu Youming's figure had turned into a ray of light, and disappeared in an instant while Ming Jin was stunned.

Ming Jin was stunned for a long time before returning to his senses, rubbed his face, and turned to look at the one who fell on the ground.

Qi Feng was still wearing a prison uniform, and was unconscious. His exposed flesh was covered with deep and shallow scars, and there was no good piece of flesh left. It was obvious that he had been severely tortured in prison.

Ming Jin was extremely disgusted, bent down and reached out to pat his face: "Hey, wake up."

The person lying on the ground didn't respond at all.

He had no choice but to call two trusted servants in, and ordered: "Prepare a courtyard for him... Forget it, let's stay here, move to the wing room next to the king, get some water, and help him clean his body. Wipe it clean first, other than you two, don't let more people know about his here."

The two attendants agreed, moved him into the room next to Mingjin, and then went to fetch water.

Ming Jin flipped through the Qiankun bag that Xu Youming gave him, almost all of them were things he didn't know, but they looked like good things, he took out the green porcelain bottle, hesitated for a moment, and walked back to the couch.

Holding the lamp in his hand, he approached the person on the couch to take a closer look. This person was unconscious and his brows were also tightly locked, and the scar on his face was even more abrupt and ferocious, very frightening.

After watching for a while, Ming Jin raised his hand, covering the left half of Qi Feng's face from the air, and only looked at his intact right side. After a while, he suddenly let out a "huh".

...It seems, it seems, it really looks good, doesn't it?
