She dressed as a concubine and was targeted by the powerful brother.
Chapter 158 Life and Death
When they arrived at the post house, Fu Rudi and Fu Jiao were already a step too late.
Master Huiguang was poisoned by the secret technique of puppets and has been dead for a long time. Moreover, his soul was wiped out, let alone reincarnation, he could not even become a wandering soul.
"You're so vicious? You don't leave any way for people to escape!"
Fu Jiao couldn't bear to see Master Huiguang's body.
Master Huiguang had been blaming herself for Fu Zhenqing's incident for more than ten years. As soon as she went over the cliff, she fell under the evil spell of a demon and was forced to become a puppet. She was angry and sad.
Fu Rudi patted Fu Jiao's back gently, unable to say any words of comfort.
He said calmly: "Let's see if there are any other clues."
When I opened the emaciated body of Master Huiguang, I found several lines of small characters written in blood underneath. Fu Rudi took a closer look and said angrily: "This is a letter of challenge for you."
"War letter?"
Fu Jiao looked carefully and saw the words: On the first day of February, enter the palace to fight, regardless of life or death.
The inscription is "Weary of winning against five ghosts".
"Who are the five ghosts who hate victory?"
Fu Rudi looked at Fu Jiao.
Fu Jiao spread her hands and said, "I have never heard of this person. But... the word "weary to win" refers to the mutual restraint in the theory of the five elements. Presumably these 'five ghosts' must also master Taoism and Taoism and want to compete with me. High or low.”
An idea spread out in her mind.
It was probably because she had offended the Five Ghosts of Weisheng that she allowed them to murder Zhou Fangjun of the Xie family and used Master Huiguang to declare a challenge. This was a naked provocation.
"Ignore it."
Fu Rudi smelled an unusual aura, "If you really want to fight, why bother entering the palace?"
Fu Jiao shook her head: "Brother, this is what I must pay attention to. Why would a charlatan be linked to someone in the palace? Do you still remember what Xie said before she died? It was Zhao Yuyi who ordered her to kill me, and this disgusting The Five Ghosts of Victory point the way to the palace, and if I want to find out the truth, I have to go to the palace."
Whoever killed Xie Zhou Fangjun and whoever killed Master Huiguang, she must catch the person behind it!
"Fu Jiao..."
Fu Rudi looked at the words "regardless of life or death", which was bloody and shocking.
"Too dangerous."
"Brother, I know." Fu Jiao was resolute, "But if I don't fight today, the people behind him will think that I am afraid of him. Kill Huiguang, Xie and others today, but what about tomorrow? What will happen if he attacks you tomorrow!"
So nip all dangers in the bud.
Fu Jiao knew that Fu Rudi was worried.
She stepped forward and held Fu Rudi's hand, "Brother, I will not put myself in danger, nor will I put you in danger."
Finally, some clues emerged about the person behind it, and she had to go and find out.
After giving Master Huiguang a grand burial, Fu Jiao didn't sleep all night.
At dawn, she went into the palace to find Zhao Yuyi.
Fu Rudi wanted to accompany her, but he was not allowed to enter the palace without an edict, so he could only watch her and Zhao Yuyi's maid leave outside the palace gate.
When Zhao Yuyi heard that Fu Jiao was coming, he was happy at first, but then felt something was wrong.
Even if Fu Jiao was looking for her, he would not come so early.
Just when she was confused, Fu Jiao had already entered the palace gate and bowed to her politely.
"See Princess."
"Come on." Zhao Yuyi hurriedly stepped forward to help, "We don't have to do these vain things."
She saw that Fu Jiao's hair was a little messy and she was not in good spirits, so she asked curiously: "You must have something to do with me when you come to the palace so early, right?"
"Ah."
Fu Jiao raised her eyes and informed Xie and Zhou Fangjun of their deaths.
Zhao Yuyi was stunned.
"Dead? Died in prison?"
The day before yesterday, I was talking about this matter with Concubine Jing, thinking about whether to kill someone and silence her. She died so soon, and she really couldn't react.
Zhao Yuyi was restless and wished he could ask Concubine Jing now. Facing Fu Jiao, she could only smile bitterly, "If you die, just die... She was not nice to you before, don't you still feel sorry for her?"
It's not that I feel distressed or regretful.
Fu Jiao lowered her eyes and finally said the incident, "Ms. Xie told me one thing before she died."
"……What's up?"
Zhao Yuyi felt extremely guilty.
She turned around slightly, not daring to look at Fu Jiao. Her heartbeat was pounding, for fear that Fu Jiao would know.
However, it backfired.
Fu Jiao really exposed the conspiracy between her and Xie at that time.
Zhao Yuyi's heart was completely dead.
She couldn't help crying, turned to Fu Jiao and choked: "Now that you know, are you here to accuse me? Yes, I did something wrong in that matter, I admit it, but I got along with you later. My friend, I regret it to death and will never kill you again."
"Oh, I know, why are you crying?"
Fu Jiao was confused by her crying, "I don't mean to blame you."
Zhao Yuyi choked and was startled, then asked: "You...you really don't blame me?"
"You have always wanted to kill me before, I know it."
At that time, he and Zhao Yuyi were in the same situation.
People will change.
No one thought that after experiencing what happened to Di Xiao, the two would become friends who talked about everything. Zhao Yuyi also stated once again that she had only kept this one thing from Fu Jiao for so long, and this was what she felt most guilty about.
Fu Jiao said: "It's not your fault. If it's the fault, it's the master of prophecy."
At first, Fu Jiao suspected that it was Taoist Danyang who manipulated Huiguang into a puppet. But after reading last night's battle report, she suspected that the so-called Five Ghosts who were tired of victory were the masters of prophecy in the palace.
"That's true."
Zhao Yuyi wiped away her tears and turned into an arrogant princess again. She said angrily: "I asked my mother and concubine about this person the day before yesterday. I wanted to find out the whereabouts of the master, but my mother and concubine didn't tell me."
Fu Jiao's heart skipped a beat, "Have you told Concubine Jing about this matter?"
"Ah."
Zhao Yuyi added some details, "Back then, I was plagued by nightmares, and the only one I could talk to was my mother and concubine. My mother and concubine believed this, and she helped me find this master without telling my father, and that's how I met you."
"Have you seen that master?"
Zhao Yuyi shook his head.
The master made prophecies for her through layers of gauze curtains, and because he was afraid that it would reach the ears of Emperor Jianming, he did all this very secretly. The master disguised himself as a palace eunuch, and Zhao Yuyi could not see his appearance clearly.
Fu Jiao remained silent.
The day before yesterday, Zhao Yuyi told Concubine Jing about the matter. Is it possible that Concubine Jing immediately found the master to murder Xie in order to protect her daughter's reputation?
But if this is the case, then the master should not have made Master Huiguang into a puppet, nor should he have given secret techniques to Xie and Zhou Fangjun so that they almost lost their souls when they were summoned. That the master could calculate these could only mean that he knew her well.
A strong sense of crisis emerged in Fu Jiao's heart, as well as a burning desire to fight.
Didn't you declare a challenge to her?
What about people?
You have to show up!
Fu Jiao immediately told Zhao Yuyi about what happened to the Five Ghosts last night. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuyi was confused and did not understand the situation at all.
"Why are you allowed to come to the palace? Is there such a person in the palace? This princess has never heard of it."
"That's weird."
The two chattered about various speculations.
At the right time, the maid outside the door came to announce loudly: "Princess, Concubine Jing is here." It really said that Cao Cao had arrived.
Fu Jiao and Zhao Yuyi looked up at the same time, and saw a beautiful woman in a gorgeous purple palace dress striding towards them. Behind her were a group of palace maids and eunuchs, with a great momentum.
This is the first time Fu Jiao meets Concubine Jing.
There are still rules that should be followed, Fu Jiao quickly saluted, "Daughter of the people, please see Concubine Jing."
"No need to be polite, just get up."
Concubine Jing's beautiful eyes lightly swept across Fu Jiao's face.
He was slightly surprised when he found that she was as beautiful as a flower and very young at age.
"Are you Fu Jiao?"
"It's a folk girl."
Fu Jiao stood up and smoothed her wrinkled skirt, her attitude neither humble nor overbearing.
Concubine Jing pampered her for a while, then dismissed the maids in Zhao Yuyi's palace, leaving only a few eunuchs around her.
"Everyone, stand down. No trespassing is allowed without a summons."
Zhao Yuyi was puzzled. She glanced at the eunuchs behind Concubine Jing, and then she realized that these people looked familiar and she had never seen them before.
"Mother, what are you..."
"Xie and Zhou Fangjun were killed by my orders."
Concubine Jing's words are not shocking and she will die.
Even though Fu Jiao was eloquent, she couldn't help but have her brain shut down at this moment. She glanced at Zhao Yuyi, who asked her the doubts in her heart: "Why?"
"Do you still need to explain why? You should know best."
Concubine Jing's light words made Zhao Yuyi's face turn pale.
you do not say!
In order to protect her reputation, the mother-in-law took great pains to prevent the news of her collusion with Xie from being exposed.
Fu Jiao frowned and said in disapproval: "Concubine Jing's mood can be understood by the common people. It is understandable that you want to kill Mr. Xie to silence her. But why do you involve the innocent Master Huiguang?"
Concubine Jing didn't care.
She said coldly: "Fu Jiao, you should thank me. Don't forget that the death of your biological mother is closely related to Master Huiguang. Is it too unfair if you can avoid punishment by apologizing?"
"Even if it is unfair, the daughter of the people does not need Concubine Jing to seek justice."
Fu Jiao's voice was cold and she was obviously angry.
Concubine Jing heard the meaning of her words, sighed softly, and called the five eunuchs behind her. The five eunuchs were lined up in a row. Fu Jiao scanned their faces and found that they looked different, but their eyes revealed inexplicable hostility towards her. They were sinister, as if they were staring at a prey.
Fu Jiao's thoughts changed and she couldn't help but curl her lips, "Are you the 'Five Ghosts who are tired of winning'?"
"He is indeed a master of Taoism."
Someone from one of the five ghosts answered.
Upon hearing this rough tone, Zhao Yuyi also suddenly realized. She pointed at the person who just spoke and had a wrinkle at the corner of his mouth and said, "You are the master who predicted it for me! I can hear your voice!"
"Princess Zhaofu has a good memory."
The man admitted it directly.
He took a step forward and introduced himself: "I am Ah Da among the five ghosts. These four people are my junior brothers, Ah Er, Ah San, Ah Si and Ah Wu."
Fu Jiao sarcastically said, "Your names are really careless."
Ah Da only sneered: "You and I are both members of Xuanmen. We should understand that in life, the name is just a symbol.",
"Why kill Huiguang?"
Fu Jiao only cares about this.
Ada glanced at the four people behind him and said to Fu Jiao: "The old monk bumped into me by himself. We are the same disciples who cast spells, and we just wanted to kill Zhou Fangjun of the Xie family. The old monk had to jump out and meddle in other people's business. In this case , our senior brothers will take him on his way."
Knowing the origin of Master Huiguang and Fu Jiao, Ah Da and others took the opportunity to use Hui Guang as a challenge to provoke Fu Jiao.
Fu Jiao was furious.
But she was still in the palace, and Concubine Jing in front of her was obviously on the side of the Five Ghosts. She promised Fu Rudi that she would not put herself in danger, that she would protect herself and take revenge.
"How did you know that I know Taoism and metaphysics?"
Fu Jiao asked the key questions keenly.
Ada hesitated for a moment.
His junior brother Asan, however, was eloquent and said with a smile: "Do you still need to ask? Princess Zhaofu's change in you has to make us pay attention to you. We are all members of Xuanmen, so use a little The means will tell.”
This makes sense.
Fu Jiao's strength is deliberately hidden, but it is not impossible for those who are interested to explore it. When she was killing zombies at Luofengpo, several soldiers responsible for escorting them saw her casting spells. If the five ghosts of Weisheng inquire one by one, they can always dig out clues.
"Fellow Daoist Fu, you have read our letter of challenge. If you enter the palace today, you will accept the challenge by default."
Ada said coldly.
Zhao Yuyi panicked and asked hurriedly: "What kind of challenge? Fu Jiao, what are you challenging?"
"Princess Zhaofu, we are tired of the five ghosts gambling with Fu Daoyou. If we five ghosts lose, we will be killed or beheaded by Fu Daoyou. She can avenge Xie Shi Huiguang and others!"
Fu Jiao smiled slightly when she heard this: "Really? In front of Concubine Jing, the five of you must not talk nonsense."
"If you say the right thing, you can make a life-and-death contract."
Ada was obviously very confident in the five of them.
Don't blame them for looking down on Fu Jiao.
Anyone in Xuanmen has been practicing for decades. Ada has only seen one young Taoist genius in so many years...
He didn't believe that Fu Jiao could become the second one!
Fu Jiao immediately touched her palm and said, "Okay! In that case, please ask Concubine Jing and Princess Zhaofu to be witnesses."
"What testimony?"
Zhao Yuyi thought Fu Jiao was crazy, so she pushed Fu Jiao's shoulder and reminded: "You only have one person, and there are five of them! This is unfair in itself! If you foolishly accept the challenge, you might fall into their trap." Zhao Yuyi shouted to Concubine Jing: "Concubine! Stop this farce!"
"Zhaofu, my concubine is doing this for your own good."
Concubine Jing did not listen to her words.
She sides with the Five Ghosts not only because the Five Ghosts predicted Zhao Yuyi's nightmare, but also because she trusts Princess Jianing.
She didn't want Zhao Yuyi to hang out with Fu Jiao anymore.
There are so many people in the world, who should I choose to be my friend? Instead, he found a scheming Xuanmen warlock.
Concubine Jing is unwilling.
Today, if Fu Jiao can be defeated by the Five Ghosts of Weary Sheng, on the one hand, Zhao Yuyi's luck can be at ease, and on the other hand, it can solve a serious problem for Princess Jianing. Why not do it.
"Fu Jiao, don't accept the challenge."
Zhao Yuyi almost knelt down to Fu Jiao.
She kept explaining to Fu Jiao: "You only have one person, and there are five of them. A round-the-clock battle is enough for you! I know you are very capable, but we should discuss this matter in the long run!"
The bastard Fu Jiao was determined to eat the weight.
She didn't want to lose this opportunity, so she just stared into Concubine Jing's eyes and asked one word at a time: "If the Five Ghosts of Yan Sheng lose, I will do whatever they want. Seriously?"
Concubine Jing nodded gently.
Seeing Zhao Yuyi's sad look, she reminded Fu Jiao again, "On the contrary. If you lose, you will still be at the mercy of the five ghosts."
"it is good!"
Fu Jiao clapped her hands and said cheerfully: "Let's make a life-and-death gesture!"
