Fu Shifeng

Chapter 135 Xuanshui Jade Pulp
Changqing returned to the Qingjin Courtyard full of worries, lowered his head, and walked absent-mindedly, but accidentally bumped into a figure with a broad back. Staggered, fell backwards.

"Yo, be careful!"

Cheng Sanwu turned around, grabbed Changqing's arm like lightning, and pulled him back.

Changqing, who regained his footing, saw Cheng Sanwu, his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Cheng Sanwu? When did you come back?"

"Just arrived." Cheng Sanwu looked Changqing up and down, and said with a smile, "You changed into new clothes? Why do you look unhappy?"

"No, nothing?" Chang Qing tidied up the robe with the crane and cloud pattern on his body. He felt that Cheng Sanwu's gaze was particularly hot, and he dared not look at him.

"Did you finish the Taoist exam?" Cheng Sanwu was very curious: "With your ability, you should have won the number one prize, right?"

"There is no such thing as the number one scholar in Dao Ju." Seeing that he was the same as before, Chang Qing could only explain with a smile: "First, we will test the scriptures, subjects and spells, and then several Taoist priests from Xuanduguan will test the rituals and spells together. I have to confer the title of Cave God, although I can go a step further, but Master told me not to reveal too much right now."

"Okay, then shall I call you Master Changqing in the future?" Cheng Sanwu asked.

"Are you going to make fun of me just after you come back?" Chang Qing said with a wry smile.

"Why are you being sarcastic?" Cheng Sanwuyi waved his hands: "This time around Lingzhou, I realized that it must be you cultivators who are capable."

"What's the matter with the ghost in Yanchi, Lingzhou?" Changqing led Cheng Sanwu to the hall and took a seat.

"From the beginning to the end, that Lingzhou Daoist Prestige Envoy was causing trouble." Cheng Sanwu started cursing: "He recovered a lot of demons, pretending to be ghosts in the Yanchi area of ​​Lingzhou, and I was almost counted into it. In the end, I followed Shuofang Army It was easy to kill him... Oh, thank you for the spells you gave me earlier, it saved my life."

"As long as it's useful." Changqing frowned and pondered: "The Taoist envoys in Lingzhou should also be under the jurisdiction of Shuofang Jiedu envoys. And they are so good, why do they collude with demons to cause trouble?"

"He found something valuable, and he probably wants to keep it for himself." Cheng Sanwu picked up a sack from his feet and threw it on the table: "This is it, here it is for you."

"Give it to me?" Changqing raised his hand to untie the knot of the sack, and saw a large pile of uncarved ruddy jade inside.

"Danyu! There are so many?" Changqing immediately changed color when he saw this: "Could it be possible to find a vein of Danyu?"

Cheng Sanwu was a little surprised: "You actually thought of it right away? You're so clever."

"Danyu with so much weight can't be purchased through normal channels, it must be obtained from mine veins." Changqing twisted a danyu and looked at it carefully: "This kind of danyu can be called top-notch. Presumably the mine has already been controlled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"Yes, I heard that Eunuch Feng sent someone to take care of it." Cheng Sanwu seemed to be a little proud and said, "I took this bag of Danyu after the battle. Anyway, I saw it dropped all over the ground. If you don't take it I don’t take it for nothing. I don’t need it myself, so I just treat it as a congratulatory gift to celebrate your Taoist exam.”

"It's too precious." Changqing pushed away a sack of Danyu: "Do you know how much this thing is worth?"

"I saw that Lao Su was in the business of Danyu in the Western Regions, and I heard that this thing is almost equivalent to gold." Cheng Sanwu thought while saying, "Besides, Danyu is lighter than gold, so some merchants in the Western Regions use it instead of gold. Easy to carry around."

"In the final analysis, gold is nothing more than worldly benefits." Changqing said seriously: "Danyu is the blood marrow of Kun, and it can play many wonderful functions in the hands of magicians. Do you still remember the spell I gave you? After you use it, Did you find that the spell has changed?"

Cheng Sanwu said: "The battle was too intense at that time, and I didn't have time to take a closer look."

Changqing didn't think it was strange. In his opinion, Cheng Sanwu had always been careless, so he said: "After the spell is cast, the energy will dissipate, and it will decay into ashes. Properly made, even if the mana in it is exhausted, the danyu itself will not be damaged."

"I understand. It's like carrying a kettle with you. You can refill it when you drink up the water in it." Cheng Sanwu nodded.

"That's right." Changqing admired Cheng Sanwu's ability to explain complicated knowledge into ordinary things, maybe this is the wisdom of ordinary people.

"Isn't that just right? You can use it." Cheng Sanwu clasped his fingers and snapped his fingers a few times: "In the future, if you meet a powerful person, just copy a string of Danyu, cast the spells in it all at once, smash them It can also kill the opponent!"

When Changqing heard this, he didn't scold Cheng Sanwu for being stupid and ignorant like in the past, but just smiled helplessly: "How could it be so easy? The three spells I gave you before took me a whole night to complete. However, it would take several months or even a year to refine the danyu into an object capable of carrying spells. Besides... I am not familiar with the process of refining elixirs, so even if you give me the whole bag of elixirs Yu, I can’t use it either.”

"So much trouble?" Cheng Sanwu was surprised.

"If you are an expert who is proficient in refining, you should be able to shorten the time." Changqing thought for a while: "However, any magic weapon that is cleverly used needs to attract the energy of heaven and earth at a specific season, and there are only a few days in a year. To open the altar, sometimes it takes more than ten years or even decades to wait for the right time."

Cheng Sanwu grabbed a handful of Danyu and twisted it in his palm: "After listening to you for a long time, I feel that the usefulness of this thing is thankless. Why is it as valuable as gold?"

"Of course the use of Danyu is not limited to this." Changqing explained: "It can also be used to arrange formations and enchantments to protect the cave dojo. Some large-scale rituals also need to use Danyu to attract energy. These occasions cost a lot of money. most.

"Furthermore, I visited several Waidan Daoist sects in Zhongnan Mountain a few days ago to learn how they consume Danyu, and found that in recent years Chang'an Haogui have also started to follow suit."

"Ah? Can this thing be eaten?" Cheng Sanwu looked at the Danyu in his hand: "Isn't this a stone?"

"For the Taoist who burns and refines alchemy, all metals and eight stones can be used as medicine, why can't danyu be eaten?" Changqing said this deliberately, just to see Cheng Sanwu's throat twitching and difficult to swallow expression, secretly laughing .

"Taking danyu, of course, is not to eat or swallow it raw." Changqing pinched his chin and said, "First of all, danyu should be smashed and ground into loose balls the size of millet, and then supplemented with various sesame seeds, boiled in the stove , holding a mantra and praying, the final medicine is called 'Xuan Shui Yu Jiang'. In fact, it evolved from the method of boiling stones. The medicine is soft and peaceful, and ordinary people can take it.

"So much attention." Cheng Sanwu approached and asked quietly: "Then have you ever eaten this thing?"

"No." Changqing looked as usual: "I have achieved success in cultivating the Tao, why should I ask for another food to keep my face?"

"No wonder you don't grow a beard." Cheng Sanwu touched his smooth chin, but unfortunately, after seeing Afu, she shaved off his beard again.

Changqing sarcastically said: "You are like you are from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"You seem to be scolding me." Cheng Sanwu snorted angrily.

Changqing sighed softly: "This time you have succeeded in dealing with the monsters in Yanchi, are you about to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"Probably, I'm too lazy to think about it anyway." Cheng Sanwu didn't care at all. Seeing Changqing staring at him, he asked, "What's wrong? What do you think is wrong?"

Changqing got up and closed the door, and said with a serious face: "During your absence in Chang'an, I also inquired about it. The Ministry of Internal Affairs monitors the world in name, but in reality there are many evil deeds of corruption and framing Luo Zhi. The original innocent fell into the hands of the hawks and dogs of the Ministry of the Interior, and the innocence became guilty."

"Are you worried that I will also become the kind of villain who fabricates crimes and harms innocent people?" Cheng Sanwu asked with a smile.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs has this kind of ethos, and it cannot be avoided by a single person who cleans himself up." Changqing persuaded.

"You..." Cheng Sanwu couldn't help laughing, and then said: "If you really want to talk about the court's laws, the things I did in the Western Regions, ten heads are not enough to chop off. I am not a good citizen who keeps his own law."

Of course Chang Qing knew it, he just felt that if the Minister of Internal Affairs, who was backed by the imperial power, was not restrained, he would probably surpass all officials sooner or later.

Although he didn't want to admit it on the surface, Lu Xiang's position was still not something that the Ministry of Internal Affairs could shake.However, looking at the history books, it is not uncommon for the ministers of the outer dynasty to succumb to the servants of the inner court. Who can ensure that the successors can maintain the current situation?

Moreover, the Ministry of Internal Affairs acted so recklessly, didn't it still depend on the emperor?In order to ensure that the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not lose its power and position, it will inevitably go the way of catering to the emperor's preferences, and the evil of meeting the emperor is not far away.

The emperor ruled the world by one person. If there is no restraint, and the world is served by one person, then it is against the law of heaven.Changqing didn't want to see this kind of result, nor did he want Cheng Sanwu to become an accomplice.

"I always feel that it's a disaster rather than a blessing for you to enter the Ministry of Internal Affairs." But Changqing didn't know how to advise, and Cheng Sanwu obviously couldn't listen to such a bunch of big ideas.

Cheng Sanwu got up and patted Changqing on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I still have a scale in my heart about what I should do and what I shouldn't do. If it's really difficult, I can also cheat."

Hearing this, Changqing had no choice but to nod, but Cheng Sanwu patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and patted him several more times, each time getting harder.

"Hehe, it seems that you have made rapid progress in the past few months!" Cheng Sanwu praised with a smile: "My hands are itchy, come here, let me try your sword skills!"

……

Yishanfang, Gongchen Castle.

"Guess how Fan Zhongming died?" In the gloomy and cold palace, when facing Eunuch Feng, Yan Fengjun's expression and tone were like chatting with a friend.

"Didn't he be killed by Cheng Sanwu?" Eunuch Feng picked up a dan jade, looked at it twice, and then threw it down.

"It must be Cheng Sanwu who killed him." Yan Fengjun said with a smile: "I inspected Fan Zhongming's body and found that he was actually killed by the palm force of "Kanyuan Nine Bases", and the meridians and viscera in his body were destroyed. It's a mess."

Eunuch Feng pondered for a while: "Reverse power?"

"Almost." Yan Fengjun pondered: "If you don't practice the Yanfeng Saber Technique three to five times, and become a masculine body, it seems that it is not easy to reverse Kanyuan's palm force which belongs to the air restraint."

"Cheng Sanwu has another foundation?" Mr. Feng said.

"It's not surprising. After all, Cheng Sanwu was not an ordinary person to commit the Heyang massacre and fight all the way out of Duji Province." Yan Fengjun pondered: "And I suspect that he and Fu Shifeng related."

Eunuch Feng frowned slightly: "Why did you say that?"

"When I was in Lingwu City, I sensed that someone was peeping in the dark." Yan Fengjun said: "The other party reacted very quickly and fled before I arrived. But I still caught a trace of residual aura, which is unique to Penglai in the East China Sea. Qigong method."

"Penglai, East China Sea?" Eunuch Feng pressed the wall lightly, revealing a hidden compartment, took out a book from it, and wrote with a pen himself: "But as far as I know, people who have achieved immortality like you often hide their aura inside. The technique of looking at qi is difficult to detect, how can there be any remaining breath?"

"It means that there was more than one person present at the time." Yan Fengjun raised his hand to calculate, and deduced in his mind: "One is unpredictable, and the other is superficial...the master and apprentice."

"Immortals from the East China Sea came to the Central Plains to travel and accept apprentices. This matter is not beyond common sense." Eunuch Feng looked at Yan Fengjun: "I remember you were similar in those days."

Yan Fengjun's five fingers are held empty, and the invisible wind gathers and whirls in the palm, compressing great power in the palm. The more advanced the cultivation base, the more he understands how extraordinary this move is.

"I have seen those monsters that were wiped out by the Shuofang Army." Yan Fengjun clenched his fists with five fingers, and the wind annihilated them: "They were originally humans, but they were infected by evil forces, and their bodies and bodies underwent drastic changes. They were completely reduced to gluttonous family members. In [-], the Hu people in Shuofang worshiped an evil god named Heiyang Gong, who should be Taotie.

"I checked carefully near the danyu vein, and found that there were corpses and pieces of flesh among the sand, gravel and mud. Although Cheng Sanwu didn't say it clearly, I suspect that Pang Yanjin once used a spell to seduce the power of gluttony, which caused a great change in his body. "

"Zhang Fan did not mention this matter in his previous report." Eunuch Feng added an extra sum to the case.

"You don't have to blame the people below too much, they may not know exactly what happened." Yan Fengjun sat opposite and tapped on the table: "I'm just a little surprised that Pang Yanjin, who is blessed by the power of gluttony, will still be killed by Cheng San." Five kills, this person can do more than I expected."

"Pang Yanjin was killed by Cheng Sanwu because of his power to attract gluttonous food." Eunuch Feng's expression became serious: "At the beginning, when we found out the news, Anquti might have contacts with Fu Shifeng, but he was also killed by Cheng Sanwu, and you I also found clues of Fu Shifeng's presence and absence near Lingwu City..."

"What do you want to say?" Yan Fengjun asked.

Eunuch Feng made an astonishing judgment: "Cheng Sanwu...may be a member of Fu Shifeng."

Yan Fengjun was silent for a long time, finally nodded and said: "It's not impossible, then how do you plan to deal with it?"

"Don't disturb him yet." Eunuch Feng looked at the picture of Cheng Sanwu's appearance on the case: "If he is willing to take over as Lord Zhaoyang, then let him come, I want to see what kind of mystery Fu Shifeng is going to play! "
