The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 818 The Queen Approaches

"So, what is the relationship between the residual soul of 'Qingling Xuannv' in the hands of Hou Tu Niangniang and the current Qingling?" Zhao Chen couldn't help but interrupt.

The truth is that although the Queen also revealed some important information, she always liked to tell him side information and let him guess it himself...

This way of speaking is very similar to that of the “Unit 3” Zhong Ying that Feimeng took away... Do all people with the surname Zhong speak in this style?

While Zhao Chen was complaining, the Queen glanced at him and took a look at his muscular chest and abdomen exposed above the water before continuing:

"Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you want to soak in the bath with me for a while longer? Don't forget, it was you who suggested this."

Hearing this, Zhao Chen immediately guessed that taking a bath with him here would probably be of great benefit to the Queen, so he had to patiently say: "Then please continue..."

Perhaps to whet the appetite, or perhaps to soak it in for a while longer, Empress Zhong temporarily stopped mentioning Xuannv and Hou Tu Niangniang, and instead said, "In the four sealed secret realms corresponding to the Jinque Gang, Shenmu Gang, Baishui Gang, and Liehuo Gang in the capital, what is sealed is actually the treasures, flesh and blood, destiny, and part of the accumulation of the avenue of the King of Liang, the Kaiming Beast, and the Su Nu.

“This is also what those who use the power of King Liang covet.

“As mentioned before, the witch wants the remains of the ‘evil god’, the Yu family and the current emperor want the ‘chess of Yaochi’, and the worshippers under King Liang are divided into several factions.

“Among them are independent cultivators who want to seize the flesh and blood of enlightened beasts. Their own paths have been cut off, so they can only take the risk of taking the ‘magic potion’ and transforming into wizards.

"There is the 'Blood God Son' of the Demon Sect, who actually wants the 'Nine Nether God Body' of 'Su Nu', or the method to transform the 'Nine Nether God Body'.

“There are disciples from aristocratic families and branches of the upper sect, and they are mainly after the great supernatural power of ‘Light in the Dark Night’.

"There is a Buddhist monk who is here to save the remaining soul of the King of Liang...

"But unfortunately, there are no residual souls in the four sealed secret realms... or in other words, the souls of Su Nu, Zhu Chao, the King of Liang, and Kaiming Beast have already merged together...

"Do you know where they went?"

Seeing the question, Zhao Chen recalled the information he had obtained from Wang Qingling and the first generation leader of the Shenmu Gang, and said uncertainly: "Is it in the sealed secret realm corresponding to the 'Underworld Gang'?"

"That's right..." The Queen nodded and asked again, "Then you should also know that the 'Underworld Gang' has recently joined the underworld as a whole, right?"

Zhao Chen's brain raced after hearing what was said, and he soon came up with a new guess: "Could it be that... the spiritual body formed by Su Nu, the King of Liang, and the Kaiming Beast has been released?
"Is this another collaboration between Emperor Gaozu and Empress Hou Tu?"

The Queen smiled and shook her head, saying, "It is indeed cooperation, but the spirit body will most likely not be released... According to my calculations, Hou Tu should have extracted their fate and identity and bestowed them on a body with magical powers... After all, the spirit bodies of these 'Ascending Xuan' beings are also very precious to Hou Tu, and she will not let them go easily.

"Well, this operation should not be difficult for you to understand."

Fate, identity, and divine body? Zhao Chen chewed on these words and suddenly realized something. He blurted out, "The mysterious man called 'false man' by the witch?"

"It seems that you finally figured it out... Then let me give you another hint. The 'Xuandu Law Text', the most precious treasure of the Taoist office, is actually made by fusing the blood of the 'Enlightened Beast' with other spiritual creatures of heaven and earth." The Queen said meaningfully.

Kaiming Beast is the divine beast guarding the gate of Kunlun Mountain, and is also known as the "barrier of the land of a hundred gods". Its blood can indeed have a better effect when used to create or write the "Xuandu Law Text"... But the Queen Mother specifically mentioned it, obviously not to emphasize its efficacy... Wait, I remember that Zhong Ying judged before that the mysterious man was not only a subordinate of His Majesty Gaozu, but also most likely the biological mother of the Emperor and King Liang, the missing Queen Mother...

As for the King of Liang and the current ruler, one looks very similar to the King of Liang, Zhu Chao, and the other is extremely consistent with the "Xuan Du Law Text"!
So, it was the false body of supernatural power that carried the fate and identities of several Shengxuan Zhenjun who married the late emperor, and then passed the fate and identity of the King of Liang and the Kaiming Beast to the King of Liang and the current emperor by giving birth to offspring?

Then I can understand why the current emperor is trying so hard to get the "Yaochi chess piece". His goal is not to restore Concubine Ning to her prime as I thought, but to take back the power that belongs to him, the "enlightened beast".

Even if it was only 10%, it would be enough for the emperor to use the "Xuandu Law" to further restrain "Yuantong"...

It turns out that the key to his breakthrough lies here!

However, what exactly did Emperor Gaozu want to do by going through so much trouble to make this plan?
Zhao Chen thought so and asked.

After hearing this, the Queen once again stirred up the water, throwing it around, and then said in a self-deprecating tone, "Even I don't dare to think about what Mingzhen's plan is, so don't try to find out.

"Remember, this is just a fight between Jin Dai and Yuan Tong!"

After saying that, she suddenly stood up, and the water drops slid down her white skin, revealing her beautiful figure... Unfortunately, in just a moment, it was as if a veil woven from stars was put on her body.

"Now you should be able to think of Wang Qingling's situation, right?" She waded into the pool and said after approaching Zhao Chen's side.

"Should it be a similar operation?" Zhao Chen said a little uncomfortably.

Because the Queen had already sat down next to him, and the starry gauze dress had once again merged into the pool water... He was not a ruthless person like Liu Xiahui, so he would naturally react.

“Yes… but even earlier, he should have entered the world more than three hundred years ago, but for some reason he didn’t give birth to Wang Qingling until thirty years ago, inheriting his fate and identity.

"Qingling Xuannv should not be involved in Mingzhen's plan, but Houtu wants to use her to do something, and Mingzhen's attitude should be tacit approval." While the Queen was speaking, she put a hand on Zhao Chen's shoulder.

The next moment, a look of satisfaction appeared on her face, and she smiled and said, "This is indeed more effective."

After talking for so long, it turns out that you don’t know about Hou Tu’s plan, nor do you know what Qing Ling is involved in?
Also, don't touch me. Although I wanted to take advantage of you and collect some interest because of your previous behavior of sucking your true energy, I'm worried that more things will be sucked away if you continue like this!

Zhao Chen calmed down and tried to divert his gaze and asked the question he wanted to clarify before entering Beijing:
"What about me? What role do I play in the script of these people, especially the emperor?
"My lady, you refused to tell me last time, so can you tell me this time?
"Or, keep me guessing?"

By now, he had understood the Queen's intention of beating around the bush and letting him draw his own conclusions.

Some things, if Zhao Chen deduced them himself, would not attract the attention of certain powerful people, but this might not be the case if the queen said them out loud.

Because her every word and action involves "cause and effect", beings at the same level will be able to detect clues.
