Taiping Inn

Chapter 35: Death as Atonement

There are three strange things about this scene. First, who sent the maid to send Feng Zhu away, so that Zhou Shuning and Zhang Shishui were alone? Second, why was Zhang Shishui's contrast so great? Although the earth's energy cannot record sound, it can be inferred from Zhou Shuning's reaction that it must be extremely hurtful words. Finally, Zhou Shuning is only in the Xiantian realm, which is not much different from Zhang Shishui. Even if Zhang Shishui was not prepared, he would be seriously injured at most by Zhou Shuning's palm, and he would never be killed by a palm. What's more, Zhang Shishui should have a protective treasure on him. Judging from Zhou Shuning's reaction when he looked at his palm at the end, it is obvious that the power of this palm was beyond Zhou Shuning's expectation.

These three points basically confirmed the previous speculation of Li Xuandu and others. This is a trap in itself.

Li Xuandu once again urged the earth's energy and went back to the time when Zhou Shuning and Zhang Shishui just met.

At first, there was nothing wrong with the expressions and reactions of the two. The key point was that when the two passed by each other, Li Xuandu slowed down the speed of the earth's qi tracing back, and the whole scene slowed down. Li Xuandu looked intently and could only vaguely see Zhang Shishui's hair shaking slightly, as if there was a breeze. Li Xuandu was not very sure whether this was a clue, after all, tracing back the earth's qi was not the same as being there in person. However, just after this breeze blew, the expression on Zhang Shishui's face suddenly changed, and he turned around and began to provoke Zhou Shuning.

Li Xuandu changed his perspective and turned behind Zhou Shuning, observing the process of Zhou Shuning's palm hitting Zhang Shishui from this angle. At the moment Zhou Shuning hit Zhang Shishui, Li Xuandu found that Zhou Shuning's clothes had a slight swell. Li Xuandu stopped the earth's qi tracing back again, back to the moment before Zhou Shuning hit, and then slowed down the speed of the earth's qi tracing back, making the movements of the two people extremely slow, and the swell trajectory of Zhou Shuning's clothes became very clear.

At this moment, Li Xuandu saw a faint palm print on the back of Zhou Shuning's clothes, as if an invisible hand gently pressed on the back of Zhou Shuning. This palm print only appeared for a very short moment, and then disappeared in the swaying of the clothes. Next, Zhou Shuning hit Zhang Shishui's chest with a palm. With the middle of the palm as the center, countless frosts quickly spread. In a blink of an eye, Zhang Shishui was already covered with white frost, and then fell straight back without a word.

Li Xuandu exited the state of earth energy tracing back and planned to solve the first question first, who sent the maid to take Feng Zhu away, and why did Zhang Shishui come to the garden alone.

Because this villa was not built in the city, it occupies a large area and consists of nearly a hundred large and small courtyards. These courtyards are in line with the formation, closely connected, and self-contained. As the head of the family, Feng Shentong lives in the main courtyard in the middle. Feng Zhu's boudoir was not far from Feng Shentong's residence, and Li Xuandu returned to Feng Zhu's boudoir again. Feng Zhu was sitting on the bed in a daze at this time, and was startled by Li Xuandu who suddenly appeared in front of her, "What are you going to do?"

Li Xuandu didn't waste any words and asked directly: "Who sent the maid to find you that day?"

Feng Zhu was stunned at first, and then she understood which day Li Xuandu was talking about, "How did you know?"

Li Xuandu said: "You don't need to know how I know, just answer."

Feng Zhu had suffered from Li Xuandu, so she didn't dare to neglect it and said: "Daddy sent someone to find me."

Li Xuandu thought that someone else was involved in this matter, but he didn't expect that it would fall on Feng Shentong, which was a relief for Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu's figure disappeared again and appeared directly in Feng Shentong's main courtyard.

Feng Shentong seemed to have expected Li Xuandu to come. At this time, there was no one else in the main courtyard, only Feng Shentong. Li Xuandu felt something was wrong, and spread his divine sense to the entire villa. He found that there was no one else in the villa except the father and daughter and a few servants and guards.

Seeing this scene, Li Xuandu had no doubts, and walked into the main hall and said, "It seems that you have arranged your affairs after death."

Feng Shentong, who was sitting alone in the main hall, smiled faintly, "Whether it is an afterlife or not depends on Mr. Qingping. I'll just speak frankly. Although I have lived in Lingnan for a long time, I am not completely unaware of the situation in the Central Plains. Mr. Qingping wants to take charge of Taoism, and some people don't want Mr. Qingping to take charge of Taoism. The two major factions have differences, which led to a fight. In fact, when the news of the old Tianshi's ascension came, I had a bad premonition, but I thought that the general situation was set, and the Confucian school couldn't do anything, so what big waves could others make? So I was relieved. But when August came, the situation suddenly changed. The Zhang family began to urge the marriage of my daughter, and Zhang Shishui wanted to personally Since I came to visit, I realized that I have been swept into the vortex. "

Li Xuandu asked: "What kind of situation has changed suddenly?"

Feng Shentong lowered his eyes and was silent for a while, then raised his head again, "Mr. Qingping should know that the geomancer also came to visit like Mr. Qingping today. It is said that no one comes to visit without a reason. The geomancer naturally came for a request. He wanted our Feng family to help him start a rebellion. At that time, Emperor Shizong was still in power and the political situation was stable, so my father refused the geomancer, which led to a disaster. The geomancer assigned his subordinates to attack the Feng family. In just a few days, the Feng family suffered heavy losses and people were panicked. At this time, the extermination of the family is imminent. "

Li Xuandu said: "It's not about extermination. Based on my understanding of the geomancer, he should leave a puppet to help him control the Feng family. "

Feng Shentong nodded, "Mr. Qingping said, but it is not much different from extermination of the clan. In short, for our Feng family, we are almost forced into a desperate situation. It was at this time that the old master took action to help. Our Feng family defeated the Earth Master. But even so, my father still died at the hands of the Earth Master. It was a demonstration and shocking move by the Earth Master, killing the chicken to warn the monkeys. "

Li Xuandu said: "So after this incident, the Feng family and Zhengyi Sect formed an alliance, or became a vassal of Zhengyi Sect?"

Feng Shentong shook his head and said, "It's not Zhengyi Sect, but Zhang. This is the relationship between the two families and has nothing to do with the sect."

Li Xuandu immediately understood, "So people with other surnames such as Yan Feiqing are not very clear about what's going on here."

Feng Shentong nodded again, "The marriage between the little girl and Zhang Shishui was also decided at that time, and the two families became in-laws. But we all know that the relationship between the Feng family and the Zhang family is different from that of the Qin family and the Li family. The Qin family and the Li family are evenly matched, but the Feng family is weaker than the Zhang family and need to be protected by the Zhang family. It is deeply involved and it is difficult to explain it in one word."

Li Xuandu said, "So when the Zhang family wants you to cooperate with them, you can't refuse, you can only follow orders?"

Feng Shentong: "Yes."

Li Xuandu said, "Then you arranged for your daughter Feng Zhu to meet Zhou Shuning, and asked Feng Zhu to invite Zhou Shuning to come here as a guest, and finally helped Zhou Shuning and Zhang Shishui meet in the garden?"

Feng Shentong: "Yes."

Li Xuandu said, "When you did this, you expected that I would come here in person, so you evacuated your family in advance so that I would not imitate the earth master of that year and slaughter the Feng family all over the place?"

Feng Shentong was silent for a moment, but replied, "Yes."

Li Xuan didn't continue asking, but just looked at Feng Shentong.

Feng Shentong did not look at Li Xuan and continued, "I understand very well that Mr. Qingping is not an ordinary person, nor is he alone. He has the support of the Qin family in Liaodong and has a deep force in the Qingwei Sect. Hang Sect and Xuannv Sect also tend to support Mr. Qingping. How could those people escape from attacking Mr. Qingping? Mr. Qingping’s supporters will inevitably fight back. Sooner or later, the two sides will fight to the death. At that time, No one can escape the relationship and no one can escape."

Li Xuan was concentrating on his mind for a moment, and after a while, he suddenly looked at Feng Shentong again, "So you are already experiencing ambition to die, hoping that you can die in my hands, and for this, he also made a request to compete with me. Because as long as you die Then the Zhang family can no longer beg too much of the Feng family. I also calmed down my anger and turned to concentrate on dealing with the Zhang family. I didn’t care about your Feng family. Then even if the Feng family safely landed, they would escape from this vortex."

Feng Shentong sighed, "The gecko's tail was broken. Although a tail was broken, his life was saved. After a while, the tail could grow again. The so-called head of the family is not the head, but the tail. A head of the family died. There will be a second head of the family. My father replied to the Earth Master with his own death. Today I will use my life to give Mr. Qingping an explanation."

Li Xuandu also sighed, "You said you are a martial arts fanatic, but I didn't see any of it. My heart, liver and lungs are soft."

Feng Shentong slowly stood up from the chair and respectfully bowed to Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu said, "I don't want your life. Are you willing to go with me to testify at Yunjinshan Grand Master Mansion? I can promise to keep your family safe afterwards."

Feng Shentong shook his head, "Since ancient times, no one who has served the two masters has ended up having a good end. I am willing to face Mr. Qingping with one death and face the great kindness of the Zhang family back then."

Li Xuan frowned, "Aren't you afraid that I will attack the Feng family?"

Feng Shentong said frankly: "Everyone in the world says that Mr. Qingping is a righteous man and will not harm the innocent."

Li Xuandu asked, "What about your daughter? She is also in the villa now."

Feng Shentong said calmly: "The only ones involved in this matter are me and the little girl. Let Mr. Qingping deal with it. This is also her fate and cannot blame others."

Li Xuan even remembered Feng Zhu, who was still ignorant of everything in the boudoir, "I'm so cruel. The Zhang family compensated a son, and your Feng family compensated a daughter. Do you want her and Zhang Shishui to be a couple in the underworld? No one said he didn't know. If you are not guilty, why do you end up like this?”

Feng Shentong was silent.

Li Xuandu said, "A ants are greedy for life, so let her find another good family to marry."

After saying that, Li Xuan turned into a few yin fires and dissipated, leaving only Feng Shentong.

After a long time, Feng Shentong silently took out a short knife about one and a half feet long, and stroked it inch by inch by inch by palm. The clear blade as clear as water reflects his face. Then Feng Shentong held the handle of the knife with both hands and turned it into The short knife slowly poured into his heart.
