Chapter 226 The Fairy in the Temple (Two in One, please subscribe)
As for Xu Lei, he didn't think much about it and just continued his practice life.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

However, what Xu Lei did not expect was that when he was eating that day, he actually consumed poison!
However, Xu Lei had the Phoenix True Fire in his body, which directly refined the poison.

But this also gave Xu Lei a shock.

"Who, who poisoned me?" Xu Lei's face turned cold.

If it weren't for the Phoenix Fire, this poison would be enough to kill a Martial Saint potentialist like him!

"Could it be the Jiang family? Or Yongning?"

It is possible that Jiang Feng was actually feeling unhappy, so he assassinated her. It is also possible that Princess Yongning did not want to get married, so she assassinated her.

So both are possible.

But it’s really hard to tell now.

Because the Dakang Kingdom was previously cultivating martial saints and winning over martial saint talents, which was the general direction of national policy that Xu Lei had decided on in his previous life.

In addition, in this life, after Xu Lei woke up and awakened his memory, his father and mother had actually made his talent public.

So Xu Lei didn't think too much about it and just lived his life calmly.

He also thought about the possibility that this would lead to jealousy and lead to some fatal moves.

But before this, my father and mother had sent a large number of guards to accompany me, and nothing had ever happened.

So I didn’t think much about it.

I didn't expect that I would eat poison today.

The other party had actually successfully poisoned him.

It’s just that Xu Lei was not poisoned.

"Who poisoned me?"

At this time, Xu Lei couldn't figure it out either.

I could only tell my father and mother and ask them to start investigating all the people in the house.

However, the investigation lasted seven days.

Finally, they found out that there was a problem with one of the servants.

But this servant was ready to die. He refused to say anything and simply bit his tongue to commit suicide.

"It seems that the person who made the move is quite powerful."

Seeing this, Xu Lei's father couldn't help but say: "This person didn't dare to say anything at all, and he just committed suicide."

That's right, this level of determination is not something that ordinary people can do. After all, fear of death is human nature. If there is still a chance of survival, these people would not commit suicide so resolutely.

Xu Lei didn't say much, but just asked the people in the mansion to continue investigating.

But there is no clue.

After the servant who poisoned the case died, the clues were lost.

Xu Lei's parents were also wondering if it was the Jiang family who took action?

But at this moment.

Xu Lei's family heard the news that Jiang Feng had also been poisoned!
Moreover, after Jiang Feng was poisoned, he couldn't get rid of it.

The poison has now spread to his bones and he is dying.

Xu Lei got up immediately and went to Jiang Mansion to visit Jiang Feng.

"You are so lucky. I heard that you were also poisoned, but you were lucky enough not to be poisoned. So your servants helped you test it out?"

Jiang Feng's face had turned purple and blue, and he looked haggard and was barely breathing. He held Xu Lei's hand and said intermittently, "It's really unfair. Why don't I have the same luck as you?"

A promising young martial saint, the future martial saint, just turned into a dying man.

At this moment, Jiang Feng's envy and jealousy of Xu Lei were naked.

After all, Jiang Feng is just an eight-year-old child, and he often speaks directly.

Xu Lei couldn't say anything about this.

He placed his hand on Jiang Feng's body and used his magic power to quietly check Jiang Feng's physical condition.

I found out that he was not pretending.

Many organs throughout the body have been invaded by toxins, and the internal organs are gradually failing.

There is only one kind of sympathy in my heart.

Of course Xu Lei knew that he was not lucky.

If it weren't for the fact that he himself was a cultivator and had the Phoenix True Fire in his body, he might have ended up like Jiang Feng now.

"what happened?"

Therefore, Xu Lei also asked the people in Jiang Mansion, "How did he get poisoned? Has the person who poisoned him been found?"

But the people in Jiang’s house just cried, shook their heads and said that the matter was still under investigation.

Xu Lei's father and mother also looked at each other, feeling that they had wronged the Jiang family before.

After all, I thought it was the Jiang family who attacked Xu Lei.

But now Jiang Feng is almost dying, and his death is a foregone conclusion, not fake.

"I don't want to die, I still want to become a martial saint, no!"

And at this moment, Jiang Feng said this unwillingly, and then he died with his eyes wide open.

"child!"

The Jiang family was filled with wailing.

Xu Lei's family also looked on in amazement.

Xu Lei also had complicated feelings about Jiang Feng's death. After all, the two of them were still competing with each other not long ago.

Now a living person has died just like that.

And if Xu Lei had not been able to resist the poison before, he would have died like this.

This made Xu Lei feel a little sad for Jiang Feng.

"We found the person who poisoned us!"

However, at this moment, suddenly, someone from the Jiang Mansion shouted.

"Be careful, he might commit suicide!" Xu Lei immediately shouted and warned, "Someone in our family committed suicide before."

Of course, the people from the Jiang residence captured this person alive and did not force him to commit suicide.

Soon the person who poisoned the food was brought over, and everyone gathered around.

The person who poisoned the family was a middle-aged woman. According to the Jiang family, she had been a loyal servant of the Jiang family for many years.

Therefore, the head of the Jiang family refused to believe at first that it was she who poisoned him.

The other people in the Jiang family also found it hard to believe.

But the chief guard in the mansion said that some related medicines were found in this person's room, and according to the eyewitness testimony of other people in the mansion, it was indeed this woman who had approached the bird's nest that Jiang Feng wanted to eat on the day he was poisoned.

And the woman also admitted the crime.

The Jiang family naturally interrogated this woman and asked her who had asked her to poison Jiang Feng.

"I can't say. I can't say."

But the woman kept saying it.

After being tortured, she said: "They said that their family was poisoned and it must have been the Jiang family who did it, so they asked me to poison them in revenge."

After the woman said this, she soon began to convulse and fainted.

The people from the Jiang family immediately surrounded Xu Lei's family. Each of them looked ferocious and had a hideous face.

Fortunately, Xu Lei also brought a lot of expert bodyguards with him, so he was not captured.

There is no need for Xu Lei to use his magic power.

In fact, Xu Lei's family was also surprised to hear the woman's final answer.

They even communicated with each other.

Xu Lei thought it was his father and mother, so he secretly sent someone to do it.

But the answer was soon negative.

Thinking about it, Xu Lei felt that it should not be fake.

After all, at that time, he was concentrating on investigating the affairs in his own mansion and could not make a decision so quickly.

Not to mention, direct revenge.

"Uncle Jiang, there must be something fishy going on here."

So Xu Lei said loudly: "This must be a frame-up. I was indeed poisoned at home, but I didn't have time to identify the murderer at that time, let alone Jiang Feng. After all, Jiang Feng and I fought in the palace that day, and there were some conflicts and contradictions on the surface, which many people know.

We have also speculated whether it was the Jiang family who poisoned me, but we think that the Jiang family should not do this. After all, the target would be more obvious. It is very likely that there is a third party messing around. If our two families fight, we will fall into their trap. Give us some more time on this matter, and we will definitely give you an explanation. "

Although the head of the Jiang family did not quite believe what Xu Lei said, they were unable to defeat Xu Lei and his people now.

And if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

So I had to give up for now.

Surrounded by guards, Xu Lei and his family slowly left the Jiang family.

"This matter must be a frame-up." After leaving Jiang's house, Xu Lei's mother said with a frown.

"But how can we give an explanation to the Jiang family? We don't have any clues on our side." Xu Lei's father was also in a dilemma.

"Don't worry, father. The court will definitely not ignore it. After all, the Martial Saint's seedling was killed. This is different from the direction of the national policy formulated by the Venerable of the Great Kang Kingdom. We will report it to the court and let the court use its power to investigate from top to bottom. In this way, the Jiang family will be more convinced of the final results." Xu Lei said.

Xu Lei's father and mother also nodded.

He then decided to write to the court again.

"But, will the court really investigate this matter seriously?" Of course, my father and mother were still worried.

And that night, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Xu Lei also mobilized his magic power, stepped on the lotus piece, and flew into the air.

He didn't mean to kill all the members of the Jiang family.

After all, killing the entire Jiang family would not actually resolve the feud.

It will only intensify the grudge.

After all, the Jiang family is also a prestigious local family, and there are many people who have benefited from the Jiang family.

It was difficult for Xu Lei to trace back and kill all these families one by one.

In addition, the Jiang family is also a victim now.

So naturally it cannot be handled this way.

However, if this matter is not resolved, the Jiang family will most likely take revenge on the Xu Lei family.

Especially to deal with Xu Lei.

After all, each of the two families had a martial saint candidate. Now that Jiang Feng is gone and Xu Lei is still alive, the Jiang family must be feeling unbalanced.

Therefore, Xu Lei flew towards the imperial palace.

"Why was a promising Martial Saint killed? Jiang Feng, I originally wanted to take him as my apprentice, but now he died tragically. I want the truth..." Xu Lei did not enter the palace, but came to the clouds above the palace, and then, with the voice of a venerable, conveyed these words to the current Emperor Dakang, the eighth Martial Saint son of Xu Lei in his previous life.

The eighth son of the Martial Saint is already very old. He has become thin, with white hair and a face full of wrinkles.

However, after hearing Xu Lei's message, he still climbed up.

"Father, where are you? I haven't seen you for many years. Can you come out and see me?" Then he also flew up and sent a message back in the direction where the voice came from.

"I want the truth at any cost. Meeting is not enough. My father has something else to do." However, Xu Lei turned around and flew away.

After all, Xu Lei now looks like a young child. He can transmit sound over a long distance and disguise himself. If he were to meet him in person, he would have to explain the change in his appearance.

So Xu Lei didn't communicate much with his son and returned soon.

And ever since Xu Lei delivered the message, the power of the Dakang Dynasty began to suppress from top to bottom.

The case of Jiang Feng's tragic death was thoroughly investigated.

And three days later, the mastermind behind the incident was found out.

I didn’t expect it to be Prince Fu.

"I'm sorry to the Jiang family and Jiang Feng."

That day, he came to the Jiang family in prison clothes, with shackles and chains on his hands and neck, and his hair was disheveled. He kowtowed and admitted his fault: "Because I was dissatisfied with the royal family marrying off their daughters, I wanted to make you two families kill each other. Everything is my fault. But I don't accept it. My daughter has noble blood and a body worth millions of gold. Just because the child you gave birth to has the seven-mark talent, my daughter must marry you. Why? It's hateful, my king, the plan failed, there is nothing to say. Daughter, father, I'm sorry for you."

Princess Yongning next to her was also wearing prison clothes and shackles and chains.

"Father, why are you doing this?"

Her face was full of tears. "My daughter is actually willing to marry. She is just a little dissatisfied, so she keeps saying that she doesn't want to marry. But the royal family marries off their daughters, this is a national policy. How can you do such a crazy thing for me? I didn't expect that you love me so much, I misunderstood you. I thought that you only regarded me as a tool in your heart. But you shouldn't be so crazy."

While the father and daughter were deeply in love, the Jiang family was completely furious and threw all kinds of things at them.

If they hadn't been stopped by the imperial court, the Jiang family would have even wanted to kill the two of them.

"I didn't expect it was Prince Fu who did it."

Xu Lei's mother was also watching the scene at this time. She couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the loyal servants of our two families would rebel. No wonder they would commit suicide once they were discovered."

"It is said that this time, it was the Venerable who spoke."

Xu Lei's father said, "So even His Majesty the Emperor did not dare to take it lightly, and that's why he found out the mastermind behind the scenes. Otherwise, our family would be in danger. If I had known this, I should not have exposed my son's talent. I should have let my son develop quietly, and wait until he became a martial saint before reappearing in the world."

"Thanks, Your Excellency."

Xu Lei's mother also said: "Yes, son, you still need to be more careful."

Xu Lei said nothing.

Because he suddenly felt that this matter was not that simple.

So that night, Xu Lei flew over the palace again.

Once again, he had a telepathic conversation with his son, the eighth Martial Saint.

"The real mastermind behind this incident is you, right, son?"

Xu Lei asked directly: "Prince Fu, is he just the scapegoat you pushed out?"

The Eighth Martial Saint's son was silent for a while.

"Father has a keen eye."

Then he said, "There are more and more martial saints in our Dakang country now. If we don't suppress them, it will not work, father. I am afraid that one day, you, father, will not be able to suppress these martial saints. That's why I want to design some more natural situations to let some martial saints die prematurely without being associated with our royal family. I didn't expect that, father, you actually took a fancy to Jiang Feng."

Xu Lei was speechless for a moment.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was found that it was his own son who did it.

But the son didn't know that he had poisoned himself.

So Xu Lei couldn't get angry for a while.

"Your behavior is not so wise."

Xu Lei could only say in the end: "Even if some of the Martial Saints are strangled to death, so what? In fact, it will not affect the overall situation. If some Martial Saints are not strangled to death, but hate our royal family, the Martial Emperor of that year will be the fate of our Dakang royal family in the future. This thing is not allowed to be done again, and it ends here. Let the Martial Saints of the world develop freely. I can still control it now. If I can't control it one day, it means that our Dakang's fortune has ended."

"Yes, father."

The Eighth Martial Saint also said, "I will obey your orders. But as far as I know, some of the Martial Saints in Dakang don't want to see more Martial Saints emerging in the world. Although you, father, have suppressed the overall situation, you don't show up to fight for territory or interests. These Martial Saints now are the vested interests. Although some people don't care so much, there are also some people who don't want more people to come out to share the food. I may not be able to control the details of these people's private actions."

Xu Lei frowned slightly.

But I also understand that these are all human nature.

Before this, he was still a little far away from the center of power in Dakang.

Therefore, they did not keenly perceive the changes in the mentality of these martial saints today.

In this situation, even if Xu Lei issues strict orders, some people will still take small actions for their own interests.

"Arrange a dead body and let the little girl Yongning go." So Xu Lei just said this, and then turned and left without saying anything else.

Since Prince Fu has been pushed out to take the blame, he has to take it. There is nothing else he can do about it.

However, Princess Yongning had some connection with Xu Lei after all, and Xu Lei couldn't bear to see her die like this.

After that.

Prince Fu was executed.

I took this blame.

Princess Yongning was replaced by a corpse and survived.

On the second night, in the forest, Lord Yongning followed his master, a great master.

This grand master was originally a guest of the royal palace.

Xu Lei came to see Princess Yongning off.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect my father to do something like that."

Princess Yongning still felt guilty: "Did you save me? That's why I survived?"

Xu Lei looked at this silly girl and didn't know what to say.

Let's tell the truth behind the matter. It doesn't seem like a good idea to make her hate the royal family.

"Go with your master."

So Xu Lei just said: "Live a good life and forget about these things."

"Will we meet again?"

Princess Yongning asked, "Does our marriage no longer count?"

"After this incident, I will change my ways."

Xu Lei said: "As a martial saint seedling, it is not good to stay out of the spotlight. As for our marriage, leave it to fate. You can forget about it. Anyway, that's all I have to say. Fate comes and goes, and when fate ends, it ends. Whether we will meet again in the future depends on whether there is fate in the future."

After saying this, Xu Lei turned around and left without waiting for Princess Yongning. He got on his horse and left.

After returning home.

Xu Lei stayed at home for another three days.

Without waiting for his parents to make arrangements, he changed himself and moved to another place.

That night, Xu Lei used his magical powers to send a message to his father and mother in their dreams.

"I am Venerable Dakang. Your son is gifted and very much pleases me..." The main meaning is that the Venerable has taken a liking to Xu Lei and wants to take him as his disciple.

Then Xu Lei stepped on the lotus piece, flew into the air and left home.

Xu Lei's father and mother were awakened late at night.

"I had a dream!"

"It was a dream that the Venerable gave me!"

"The Venerable Master accepted our son as his disciple? Is this true?"

"My son, my son is missing. Your Excellency, have you taken him away?"

The couple looked at each other, talked for a while, and ran out to check, and found that their son, who had the potential to be a martial saint, had indeed disappeared without a trace.

Although they felt a little lost, they were also reluctant to leave.

But eventually I accepted it.

"It's okay, ma'am, this is the Venerable. Our son will have a bright future if he follows the Venerable!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Following the Venerable will definitely lead to success, and it will be safer than following us!"

In the end, the couple could only sigh and speak.

"Father, mother, where is my third brother? Where did he go?"

"Why did he leave so suddenly?"

"Yes, father and mother, where is the third brother?"

The next day, the other children in the family couldn't help but ask.

After thinking about it, the couple told the truth.

"What, the third brother was taken away by the Venerable?"

"Your Excellency, you actually accepted my third brother as your disciple?"

"Yes, the most mysterious and powerful Venerable? Will the third brother be very powerful in the future?"

The three siblings were very shocked.

The couple also smiled slightly, and then told them not to tell this to anyone.

The three siblings also nodded solemnly.

At the same time, Xu Lei had put on a human skin mask, adjusted some of his facial features, and shaved his hair. He came to the gate of a temple.

That’s right, Xu Lei is preparing to become a monk again.

Just like in the last era, be a monk.

In the temple, one can practice Taoism and accumulate magical powers in peace and quiet, while also improving one's martial arts skills.

However, when Xu Lei climbed the stairs and came to the square on the temple hill, his expression suddenly changed and his brows frowned slightly.

"Hmm, demonic energy? It seems to be a strong demon, and its cultivation seems to be quite good. If my cultivation had not reached the Bodhisattva level, I would not be able to detect it."

Xu Lei muttered in his heart: "Has the number of practitioners in the Buddhist sect decreased now? Or have many people stopped practicing and started practicing martial arts, so the inheritance of cultivation has been interrupted? Why do the goblins dare to mix in the temple openly?"

You know, in the last era, demons would stay away from Taoist temples and Buddhist temples.

No matter how arrogant the demon is, it dare not openly hang around in temples and Taoist temples.

"Is it because people are practicing martial arts now, and their energy is surging, so these monsters absorb the energy to practice, and their progress is actually getting better?"

Xu Lei walked forward leisurely, and continued to guess in his heart: "It's interesting. If I can cultivate a monster of this level, although it can't increase my cultivation, it should be able to replace my accumulated mana of nearly a hundred years."
