Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 560 Fang Guozhen: 94, I'm giving you a big gift, dare you accept it?

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Chen Jie was woken up early by Fang Susu and the others.

Upon waking up, he saw Fang Susu and the others shouting that they wanted to see Zhao Fa, who wanted him to immediately request the formation diagrams from the temples across the country that had been passed down by Bodhidharma.

This action left Chen Jie speechless. If someone wants to give it to you, they will. Asking for it like this is useless. However, Chen Jie knew what had happened in their palace last night, so he didn't tell Fang Susu and the others. He just went with Fang Susu and the others to see Zhao Fachai.

Zhao Fachai hadn't slept well all night, but upon hearing that Chen Jie had arrived, he immediately put down all his work and went directly to see Chen Jie. After all, Chen Jie was a big shot who could kill the national teacher of Siam, and even the emperor had to come respectfully.

After all, the emperor of Siam in the past was nothing more than a puppet of the royal advisor.

"Brother Chen!"

Upon seeing Chen Jie, Zhao Fachai excitedly shouted and then ran towards Chen Jie with great enthusiasm, followed by Gematai and Heiligu. However, Gematai was clearly more favored by Zhao Fachai, and it was evident that Gematai was now more popular with Zhao Fachai.

At this moment, Zhao Facai rushed over with great enthusiasm and bowed to Chen Jie, saying, "Greetings, Brother Chen."

Seeing this, Chen Jie said, "Hehe, you are now the ruler of a country, so there's no need to be so polite to me."

"No, no, Brother Chen is my savior. Without Brother Chen, there would be no Zhaofacai today, so this ceremony must be performed."

Chen Jie then glanced at Gematai and Heiligudao behind him and said, "Hey, Lao Hei, your eyes are all dark. You look like you didn't sleep well last night. Did you sleep with some prostitutes?"

Chen Jie joked.

Hei Ligu really wanted to talk about what happened yesterday, but after thinking about it, he could only force a smile and say, "Master Chen was joking."

Zhao Facai was also afraid that Hei Ligu would reveal the truth, which would put him in a very passive position. Therefore, he stopped Chen Jie and said, "Haha, Brother Chen, don't worry about him. They were probably tired yesterday and did something to relax. We shouldn't ask too many questions, right?"

Seeing Zhao Fachai's nervous expression, Chen Jie laughed and said, "Hahaha, yes, yes, what Achai said is right."

"By the way, isn't Achai supposed to have his coronation ceremony today? What's he doing here?"

Zhaofa guessed, "Brother Chen, I have some good news to tell you."

Chen Jie looked at him and said, "Oh, what's the good news?"

"After tireless efforts yesterday, I finally persuaded the old prime minister. Today, along with my decree of ascension, I will announce the collection of array diagrams to all the major temples. I expect that the array diagrams from all the major temples will be sent over in the next day or two."

Upon hearing this, Fang Susu and Fang Zheng were immediately excited. At this moment, Fang Susu looked at Zhao Fa and asked, "Ah Cai, are you serious? You really issued the imperial edict?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Facai immediately said, "Sister Fang, you have been so kind to me, how could I not keep the matter of saving Uncle Fang in mind? I argued with the old prime minister for quite a while yesterday!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Susu beamed with joy: "Haha, A-Cai, I really haven't spoiled you for nothing!"

Zhao Fachai then revealed a harmless smile, which looked quite amiable.

Only Chen Jie knew what role Zhao Facai played in this incident; the wickedness of human nature could not be greater than this.

Even if someone is thinking about how to harm you one second, they can appear in front of you with the expression of a benefactor the next second, and you should be grateful to them. If Chen Jie hadn't known in advance what kind of face Zhao Facai was yesterday, he would have believed Zhao Facai's nonsense.

How come I never noticed before that this kid was so cunning?

Chen Jie thought this to himself, but remained calm. Meanwhile, someone came to report that the coronation ceremony was ready. Chen Jie and the others were seated in the main seats as guests of honor. The ceremony began, and the content was simple. First, the achievements of Zhao Fachai's ancestors were mentioned, then the evil of the false emperor's usurpation of the throne was explained, and finally it was said that Zhao Fachai inherited the bravery and decisiveness of his ancestors and, with the help of the old prime minister, successfully regained the throne and became the twelfth emperor of Siam.

After the ceremony, the edict was sent directly to the whole country to inform all local powers who the current emperor was. In fact, this did not have much effect, because the central government of Siam was very weak and local powers were almost all acting independently. They only nominally respected the emperor, but local affairs were still managed by the local authorities themselves.

Chen Jie watched the entire ceremony, and having nothing else to do in the afternoon, he stayed there, waiting for the various temples to send up their array diagrams.

The very next day, Wat Hoe sent over a rubbing of the battle formation diagram. It must be said that, as the largest temple in Siam, its awareness far surpasses that of other temples.

Strangely, after replacing Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, it has always been the largest temple in Siam. Moreover, since the royal advisor died in battle, Siam needs a new royal advisor, and it is possible that the next royal advisor will be chosen from Wat Phra That Doi Suthep.

Therefore, the performance of Huodu Temple is likely a preparation for the next election.

Regardless of his thoughts, his diagram of the Eight Demon-Suppressing Formation was placed in Chen Jie's hands that afternoon.

Chen Jie then looked at the array diagram, which was spread out on a huge table; there were still five missing.

Chen Jie thought that, soon, in the next two days, with Huode Temple taking the lead, other temples also obediently sent over rubbings of the array diagrams.

Zhao Fa guessed that he wanted to get rid of Chen Jie and the others as soon as possible so that he could completely take control of the entire Siam. He was very concerned about this matter, so as soon as he got a formation diagram, he immediately sent it to Chen Jie. In this way, Chen Jie quickly obtained the other five formation diagrams.

Once he had all five array diagrams, Chen Jie had finally collected all the demon-subduing arrays set up on the back mountain. The demon-subduing array was divided into seven parts: subduing demons, suppressing demons, trapping demons, imprisoning demons, guiding demons, discussing demons, and repenting demons.

The seven parts are interconnected, forming this demon-subduing formation. The formation is interconnected and contains a universe within. Once you enter this formation, if you do not understand the detailed explanation of the seven parts of the formation, it will be extremely difficult to get out. No matter how talented you are, it will be of no use.

Having understood all this, Chen Jie memorized all seven array diagrams and, after fully comprehending the changes in each part of the grand array, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now he finally has the confidence to go to the back mountain to rescue people, and three whole days have passed.

On this day, Chen Jie finally emerged from seclusion. Upon seeing Chen Jie emerge, Fang Susu immediately came up to him and asked, "Uncle, how was it?"

After hearing Fang Susu's words, Chen Jie nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, I already understand, brother. You can go in and save your father."

Upon hearing this, Fang Susu immediately exclaimed excitedly, "I, I'll go with my uncle to save Father!"

Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "You shouldn't go in. This formation is extremely grueling. Your father must have suffered a lot and is in a sorry state. No father wants his daughter to see him in his most wretched state, do you understand?"

Fang Susu fell silent after hearing this, and after a long while said, "I understand."

Chen Jie then turned to Fang Zheng and said, "Zheng, come with me!"

"Yes!"

Fang Zheng immediately agreed, and then Chen Jie said, "Prepare clean clothes, a razor, and other toiletries. Also, fetch a basin of clean water and bring three to five trusted followers of the Divine Dragon Sect. Don't bring too many."

Fang Zheng immediately agreed and went to make preparations.

At this moment, Chen Jie said, "Oh right, there's also food. Prepare some steamed buns and roast chicken. As for drinks, we don't need them; I'll bring them with me."

After Chen finished speaking, Fang Zheng nodded in agreement, and Fang Susu also went to prepare. Although she couldn't go in, she could still prepare some things for her father.

After preparing all these things, Chen Jie and Fang Susu went to the back mountain together.

They soon arrived at the back mountain. Chen Jie looked at Fang Susu and said, "You all wait here. A-Zheng, bring your men and come with me into the formation."

Fang Zheng immediately arranged for trusted men to enter the formation. These men not only brought washbasins, but also a large wooden tub filled with hot water for Fang Guozhen to bathe in.

At this moment, Chen Jie led Fang Zheng through the Demon-Subduing Formation. Once inside, Chen Jie shouted into the formation, "Third Brother, I've come to save you!"

Ah!
The voice entered the great formation directly, and immediately afterward, a disheveled man with a dirty face, who was sitting cross-legged inside the formation, suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "It's Nine Four! Nine Four is here!"

"Hey, 94, I'm here!"

The man opened his eyes and immediately shouted loudly, telling Chen Jie his location. Chen Jie listened to the sound and instantly determined the location of the Dragon King.

This location should be: Demon-Imprisoning Formation!
Chen Jie's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately said, "Come with me!"

As he spoke, Chen Jie started walking directly from the Demon-Subduing Formation. He walked along the Demon-Subduing Formation and arrived at the Demon-Suppressing Formation. The scenery here was very different from that of the Demon-Subduing Formation. The trees here were covered with fruit and various wild fruits. This place actually provided a food source for the trapped people.

Heaven cherishes life, and this Buddhist formation, in particular, does not seek to kill the enemy but rather to give them a chance to repent and reform.

Unfortunately, it seems that Fang Guozhen is not in this demon-suppressing formation.

Chen Jie continued walking. After passing the Demon-Suppressing Formation, the next step was the Demon-Crossing Formation, where there was a huge statue of the Buddha.

Chen Jie immediately led everyone to bow to the Buddha. Now that they had seen the Buddha, how could they not bow? To save the demons, to save the demons! How could they be demons after bowing to the Buddha?
Therefore, the key to passing through this demon-crossing formation is to worship the Buddha. After worshipping the Buddha, the gate of life will naturally appear in the formation. After passing through this demon-crossing formation, Chen Jie finally arrived at his destination, the demon-trapping formation.

This is a vast desert, where very few living things survive. As soon as Chen Jie came out, he saw Fang Guozhen sitting in the very center of the desert.

"Third Brother!"

"father!"

At this moment, Chen Jie and Fang Zheng spoke up almost simultaneously, which immediately startled the person sitting cross-legged. The person suddenly looked up and saw that he was so thin that he was almost skin and bones, with deep-set eyes, a face covered in blood, and his once luxurious clothes were now tattered and worn.

Seeing this, Chen Jie and the others could hardly believe that the person in front of them was the spirited Dragon King Fang Guozhen.

Chen Jie immediately led his men to greet Fang Guozhen. They quickly arrived at Fang Guozhen's side and discovered that both of Fang Guozhen's feet were injured, making it very difficult for her to move.

Seeing this, Chen Jie said with grief, "Third brother, I'm late."

Upon hearing this, Fang Guozhen looked at Chen Jie and said, "Fourth brother, I am very pleased that you came. It's not too late, not too late at all."

"father!"

Fang Zheng was already sobbing uncontrollably, looking at Fang Guozhen and weeping. Fang Guozhen, seeing Fang Zheng like this, angrily shouted, "Stop crying, you spineless thing, what are you crying for!" "Father, your son is unfilial, I have made you suffer, you have suffered!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Guozhen angrily retorted, "What utter nonsense! My suffering is due to my inferior skills; what does it have to do with you?"

"But……"

"No buts! I saw you brought food, quick, give me some to eat, I'm starving!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng said, "It's Dad, the food's here, the food's here."

After saying that, he took the steamed buns and roast chicken. Fang Guozhen's eyes lit up when she saw the steamed buns and roast chicken. She immediately grabbed a steamed bun in one hand and a roast chicken in the other and stuffed them into her mouth.

"Dad, slow down, slow down, there's plenty of time."

Fang Zheng said with a sob in his voice, and Fang Guozhen said, "Go away, stop crying. I'm not dead yet, and just looking at you annoys me. Get out of here."

Fang Guozhen launched into a tirade against Fang Zheng, who just kept wiping away tears. Seeing Fang Zheng like this, Fang Guozhen was furious. "My son should have a broad mind and a heart for the world. He's only lost two legs, not his life. Why is he crying like this? He's acting like a woman."

Just as Fang Guozhen was about to scold Fang Zheng, Chen Jie took a wine jar and placed it in front of Fang Guozhen, saying, "The child is only concerned for you. Third Brother, don't be too harsh on him."

Hearing this, Fang Guozhen looked at Chen Jie, then at the wine, and laughed, "Hahaha, Jiu Si, you really understand me! Don't worry about being stuck here, all I want is this jar of wine!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Then Third Brother, hurry up and eat and drink, then wash up. Su Su is still waiting for you outside!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Guozhen asked, "Why is Susu here too?"

Chen Jie said, "If Susu hadn't sent me a message, how could I have crossed the ocean to rescue you?"

Fang Guozhen said, "Jiu Si, you must have seen and heard a lot during your trip to Southeast Asia. Tell me quickly, and I'll keep it to accompany your drinks."

After hearing this, Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, I've really seen a lot on this trip to Southeast Asia. The first thing I encountered when I arrived here was this Hidden Dragon Abyss..."

Chen Jie recounted everything he had seen and heard on this trip to Fang Guozhen: the Hidden Dragon Abyss, the Battle of the South China Sea, the encounter with the Snow Woman at Yuanshui Temple, the Battle of the Royal Palace, and the defeat of Basong...

Chen Jie recounted everything in detail. After listening, Fang Guozhen exclaimed, "Jiu Si, your short trip of one or two months is almost more exciting than my experiences over the past few decades!"

Chen Jie said, "It's just finding joy in hardship, but there are many dangers involved."

Fang Guozhen said, "You've worked hard for your brother, Jiu Si. I'll remember this kindness."

Chen Jie said, "Brother, let's not talk about this. Why are we, brothers, talking about this?"

Fang Guozhen said, "If it weren't for my leg being injured, I would definitely be your vanguard and charge into battle."

Chen Jie said, "Third Brother, please don't do this. Let me see if I can treat this leg."

Fang Guozhen said, "Alas, this is difficult."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Let me see."

Fang Guozhen stretched out his legs, but didn't stop eating. He continued to eat, taking bites of roast chicken and sips of wine, enjoying himself immensely. Seeing Fang Guozhen like this, Fang Zheng said from the side, "Father, you've suffered. You've been trapped here for another two months, haven't you? We at the quarry at least get a small black steamed bun a day. What are you eating to survive here?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Guozhen glanced at Fang Zheng and said, "There's a rat's nest over there."

Ok?
"Father, you, you actually eat rats to survive."

Fang Zheng looked at Fang Guozhen in surprise. Fang Guozhen glanced at Fang Zheng and said, "Hehe, what's the big deal? As long as they're alive, that's fine. After all, rats are meat, and they're quite nutritious to eat."

"But those are rats."

Some people just couldn't accept it, but Fang Guozhen scoffed, "Pretentious. What's wrong with rats? Back when we, the Zoroastrians, were fighting to the death with people, there was a time when Peng Yingyu and I were trapped on a snowy mountain with no food at all. In the end, we survived by eating human flesh."

"Compared to back then, this rat meat is a delicacy."

Fang Guozhen truly came from a bloody era. The suffering they endured and the devilish training they received made their willpower far surpass that of today's younger generation.

Fang Zheng was shocked by Fang Guozhen's words. He knew that Fang Guozhen had served as a soldier and fought in battles when he was young, and his opponents were Mu Lanbing. But he never expected that his father's generation had actually survived by eating human flesh.

Chen Jie was somewhat shocked by Fang Guozhen's words, but he was now more concerned about Fang Guozhen's legs.

There's something strange about these legs. Upon closer inspection, Fang Guozhen's legs seem to be perfectly fine. Whether it's the tendons, bones, muscles, or anything else, they're exactly the same as healthy legs, and they haven't even been injured.

However, a mysterious power emanates from this leg, rendering it immobile. The only way to cure this leg is to find a way to resolve this mysterious power.

But what is this mysterious power?
"How did you hurt your leg?"

Chen Jie looked at Fang Guozhen and asked, and Fang Guozhen replied, "I kicked a Buddha statue."

Chen Jie said, "Buddha statue, no, it can't be the Tathagata statue outside, can it?"

Fang Guozhen said, "Yes, it was that Buddha statue. I was in a bad mood when I was first locked up. I saw this big Buddha sitting there, looking down at me with disdain, as if it was provoking me. I got angry and kicked it!"

Fang Guozhen spoke very casually, but he kicked the Buddha statue in a fit of anger, showing that he was quite disrespectful to the Buddha.

Chen Jie said, "Is this all there is after the kick?"

Fang Guozhen said, "After the kick, these two legs won't move. I tested it, and they shouldn't be injured, but there's a force wrapped around them. This force is extremely difficult to deal with. I tried to resist it with my internal energy, but it was quickly absorbed by this force and became its advantage instead."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "It seems it's true."

Fang Guozhen was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean, really?"

Chen explained, "The formation that Tathagata used is called the Demon-Transcending Formation. For some people, this formation is the simplest and can be easily broken, while for others, it is the most difficult and hard to break."

"And the reason is simply the word 'Buddha'."

"If you turn to Buddha and worship the Tathagata, then the Demon-Slaying Formation will hardly cause you any harm."

“If you disrespect the Buddha, things will become very troublesome. You might be trapped in the Demon-Slaying Formation and unable to get out. And you actually kicked the Buddha. According to the records on the formation diagram, Bodhidharma once infused the Buddha's statue with his magical power.”

“Your rash kick could very well have been controlled by the residual power of Bodhidharma. This is going to be difficult.”

Fang Guozhen frowned slightly upon hearing this and said, "Are you saying my legs are useless?"

Chen Jie frowned slightly and said, "I think it would be difficult for people below the level of a terrestrial immortal to solve this problem. If there is anyone in this world who can cure it, the one from Wudang Mountain should be able to."

Fang Guozhen said, "We're not familiar with each other, we don't have any connection."

Chen Jie said, "Besides this, there is another method. This method is recorded in this Demon-Crossing Array Diagram. There is a sentence in it: 'If you wholeheartedly turn to Buddha, you can resolve all worries and troubles.'"

"Third Brother, if you switch to Buddhism and transform your magical power into Buddhist power, you should be able to break the curse on your leg!"

"What? You want me to practice Buddhism? He's dreaming!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Guozhen said, "All my life I've enjoyed fighting with people, with the heavens, and with the earth. It brings me endless joy."

"This time I'll fight Bodhidharma from a thousand years ago and see if he can outlast me or I can outlast him. This leg is beyond repair!"

Fang Guozhen waved her hand, her meaning clear: I'm not getting treatment. I don't care who it is. I'll see if I can die without this leg.

Seeing Fang Guozhen's reckless attitude, Chen Jie was helpless. He wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know where to start. He could only say, "Third Brother, you should think it over. This is a matter of your whole life. If you lose these legs, you won't be able to expand your territory."

Fang Guozhen glanced at Chen Jie and said, "In 1994, why would I expand my territory? To put it bluntly, the reason I fled overseas is because I felt that the Central Plains was beyond saving."

But I never expected that such a talent as you could emerge from the Central Plains. With you here, there is still hope for the Central Plains. I no longer want to fight, nor do I have the mind to play any games of vying for the world. From now on, I will stay in the South China Sea and not go back.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Fang Guozhen and said, "Third Brother, do you really not want to return to the Central Plains?"

Fang Guozhen said, "Going back will also be to ask you for wine. By the way, I forgot whether you and the princess have gotten married yet?"

"It's a big wedding!"

Fang Guozhen said, "That's perfect, how about I give you a big gift?"

Chen Jie looked at Fang Guozhen and said, "Third Brother, what big gift is it? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Fang Guozhen smiled and said, "I'm going to give you the foundation of the Divine Dragon Sect, what do you say?"

"Ah, you're going to hand the dragon over to me?"

Chen Jie stared at Fang Guozhen in shock, never expecting Fang Guozhen to be so generous. This was the Divine Dragon Sect, the number one power that spanned the countries of Southeast Asia and dominated the southeast coast.

"Give me a word, whether you want it or not!"

Fang Guozhen looked at Chen Jie and urged him on!
