Fu Shifeng

Chapter 180 Expectation to come true
Hearing what Master Wen said, Changqing stood up suddenly, with a look of shock and anger on his face.If it hadn't been for the recent improvement in self-discipline, I might have had to unsheath the sword.

"I respect you as a senior, but that doesn't mean I will let you tease me!" Chang Qing waved his sleeves and shouted: "Since you have transformed Taotie into a human being, and you still let Cheng Sanwu walk in the world, it means that he is no longer a human being. Why do you still want to kill him when there is such a calamity?"

Master Wen was not provoked and was playing with the pineapple in his hand: "If we just transform Taotie into a human being, what's the difference between it and a monster transforming into a human being? Why do you conclude that he won't transform back?"

Chang Qing was startled at first, but he quickly retorted: "I have been taking care of Cheng Sanwu for the past six months, and I have a good grasp of his body's pulse and energy. He has a complete human body and has already removed all the evil bones!"

"Is this what you think?" Master Wen twirled his beard and said, "You have seen the Xuan Mizhu, so you should know how miraculous the power of creation is. Taotie is not an ordinary monster, and our approach is not to help it transform, but to help it transform. It is used as raw material, just like kneading soil to make a tool, to shape a body from scratch."

Changqing was speechless. He really didn't expect Fu Shifeng to have such a method. It was comparable to myths and legends to create humans out of clay. In Master Wen's words, it seemed like an ordinary craftsman's craftsmanship. It was not surprising.

Seeing Changqing's depressed look that was hesitant to speak, Master Wen chuckled and said, "That's all, I'll tell you the truth. We can transform Taotie into a human being. It's not all fabricated out of thin air. As I just said, a big disaster will happen." When Qi comes to the human world, it will also evolve on its own, and evolving towards ordinary people is one of them."

Hearing this, Changqing put away his displeasure and listened carefully to what Master Wen said, fearing that he would miss even a single word.

"But this alone is not enough. We initially changed the shape of pottery and successfully transformed Taotie into a human being. However, his greedy and sadistic nature has not been suppressed at all. He is extremely ferocious. Once indulged, it will immediately cause great harm to the world." Master Wen Lian He laughed, as if he was recalling the past:

"Since we have gone to great lengths to transform Taotie into a human being, it is not to lock him in a cage, but to make him one of the thousands of sentient beings. For this reason, we Fu Shifeng thought hard and meditated, and finally imitated the principle of the opening of the heaven and the earth, and the separation of clear and turbid phenomena. , split the Taotie into two."

"Is this... really possible?" Changqing couldn't help but interrupt.

"Actually, the original idea was not certain that it would come true." Master Wen sighed with lingering fear: "We started with the physical body first. We created two sets of meridians in Cheng Sanwu's body."

Changqing immediately changed his color when he heard this. He had tried several times on Cheng Sanwu in the past six months and found that the entanglement of the two sets of meridians in his body still could not be solved. It was like an old tree taking root.Now that I heard Master say this, I realized how big a mistake I had made.

"This move is very cruel." Master Wen said: "You have to understand that tempering a body comparable to a mountain into the size of an ordinary person is like destroying both body and soul. Then two sets of meridians are cast in the body, and the external energy is like ten thousand Thousand-cone thorns were driven directly into Cheng Sanwu's body, forcibly digging out acupoints and opening meridians. The whole process was endless torture.

"It just so happens that Cheng Sanwu's body has extraordinary self-healing capabilities. We had a small success in digging out the orifice and opening the pulse, but it was immediately blocked again. As a last resort, the same method was used on Cheng Sanwu hundreds of times. Every day, our ears are filled with the sound of his roaring and howling, and even magic cannot block the howling that reaches the sea of ​​​​consciousness."

Changqing felt like he was shuddering just by listening to it. Cheng Sanwu, who had personally experienced this endless torture, no wonder he had such strong hatred for Master Wen.

"In addition to this, we also used various means to interfere with his mind and thoughts, or planted a pure and pure seed consciousness in his sea of ​​consciousness, or tried to leave a heart imprint on him, hoping to suppress the greedy and ferocious nature of Cheng. Sanwu's temperament and emotions are guided by ordinary people." Master Wen smiled helplessly: "Outsiders can't see the torture of this process. Anyway, by the end of it, Cheng Sanwu was no more than a puddle of dead flesh, and he was also stupid and ignorant when he was awake. "

Changqing really couldn't bear to listen anymore. He couldn't imagine how Cheng Sanwu would survive those days.A strong body is not necessarily a blessing. On the contrary, it makes the torture clear and long. I am afraid that even coma cannot be achieved.

"But things are not that simple." Master Wen continued: "When Cheng Sanwu was stupid, the Taotie half hidden in the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness briefly dominated the physical body. Although this body did not have any martial arts foundation, it also brought us Big trouble."

Chang Qing has been able to deduce a rough idea: "Do you hope that Cheng Sanwu can dominate this body and suppress the other half of Taotie's power? But if you want to do this, Cheng Sanwu must not be a stupid and incompetent person. "

"That's right." Master Wen nodded in approval: "So in the end, after discussion, we Fu Shifeng decided to let him go into the human world for a while and let him experience it and truly become a human being. Only by consciously Only with a budding heart can you truly make the decision for yourself, which is the ultimate weapon against Taotie!"

After hearing Master Wen's explanation, Changqing slowly shook his head: "You want to use Cheng Sanwu to fight Taotie, have you ever considered his idea?"

Master Wen asked back, "Have your parents ever considered your thoughts when you were born?"

Hearing this, Chang Qing angrily rebuked: "This is sophistry! When a mortal is born, he is raised by his parents when he is still in his infancy. You transformed Taotie into a human being, but did you ever show kindness to Cheng Sanwu for a day? You regard him as a great disaster and have nothing to do with him. If you don’t go to extreme lengths, Cheng Sanwu will naturally regard you as enemies!”

Master Wen looked at the pineapple in his hand and said nothing for a long time. Changqing did not see the slightest trace of guilt in him, more like a Confucian scholar in his study who was reading a lot of scriptures.

"If you ask me, do I have to go to any lengths for gluttony..." Master Wen looked at Changqing, with unquestionable determination in his eyes: "Then I answer you - yes, I will not turn this disaster into a disaster. If the Taotie can be completely wiped out for future generations, I don’t mind killing him together with Cheng Sanwu.”

Changqing took a few steps back at a loss: "You save him, but you want to kill him..."

"You seem to have forgotten one thing." Master Wen said: "Cheng Sanwu is half Taotie. If he brings harm to the world, I will also attack him. And it's not just me, other people in Fu Shifeng will also attack Cheng Be very alert."

"In that case, why do you have to transform Taotie into a human being?" Chang Qing still remembers Cheng Sanwu's resentful words: "Can't you maintain the seal in the past?"

Master Wen seemed a little disappointed: "Others have asked me about your words more than once, and they are also opposed to Taotie's move to transform humans. Using the Kowloon ban to suppress Taotie has been recognized as a safe method for thousands of years, and everyone has long been accustomed to it. I don’t want to make too many changes here.”

"But you are still determined to do so." Changqing didn't understand.

"Some things cannot be left to future generations." Master Wen said: "Fu Shifeng's predecessors came together because of like-minded people. However, after a long period of time, not only the world has changed, but people's hearts will also change." I am exactly the same. Seeing the conservative ethos in Fu Shifeng, he is worried that future generations may not be able to suppress Taotie if there are drastic changes in the future.If we sit back and watch the disaster happen because we are greedy for comfort for a moment, we will be sinners through the ages. "

Changqing couldn't help but think about it. If it were him, would he have such courage and courage to take the initiative to put an end to the great disaster that has continued since ancient times?
The poor scholar in civilian clothes in front of him looked lonely and lonely on the outside, but inside he had a big heart and a great sense of responsibility. Changqing couldn't help but admire him.

"Actually, I wouldn't attack Cheng Sanwu unless it was absolutely necessary." Wen Fuzi changed the subject: "You can probably see that we, Fu Shifeng, have been secretly paying attention to his every move. At least until this moment, he I am very satisfied with his performance. Especially in the battle at Yongning Temple, he did not choose to use the power of Taotie... Oh, this is also thanks to you."

Chang Qing knew that the other party was talking about the fact that he had blessed Cheng Sanwu with the magic power of the general.Thinking back now, even if he didn't help, with Cheng Sanwu's true strength, even if he was No. 1 in the world a hundred years ago, he probably wouldn't be able to do well against such a big evil.

"You said you want to eliminate Taotie, but what exactly are you going to do?" Chang Qing asked about the key.

"Splitting Taotie into two is the first step." Master Wen said: "Taotie has the power of immortality, but after dividing him, this evil nature cannot be sustained. This is the prerequisite for the complete elimination of Taotie. .

"But whether Taotie is differentiated or not depends on Cheng Sanwu. His mind and thoughts must be completely dominated by himself, so that he is independent of Taotie, and then the two veins in his body are used as the foundation to separate the two."

Chang Qing frowned: "According to what you said, don't you really want to cut Cheng Sanwu into two pieces?"

"Perhaps my statement is too literal?" Master Wen thought for a moment: "The specific action may be more like pulling out a stone sunk deep in the soup. In order to prevent Cheng Sanwu from being hit hard, it is best to We need a fence. We are just waiting for someone to make this fence. Of course, it will be safer if Cheng Sanwu cooks the soup for a longer time."

For some reason, Changqing suddenly discovered that Master Wen's simple and easy-to-understand reasoning was somewhat similar to Cheng Sanwu's, and he wished he could explain the truth clearly in plain language that ordinary people could understand.

"This...'Lili', is it a magic weapon or a magical weapon?" Changqing asked.

"Actually, they are almost the same." Master Wen shook his finger and said with a smile: "I have already thought about it. When this magic weapon is successfully built, I will call it Fu Shifeng! Please start and end well, what do you think?"

Chang Qing was speechless for a moment. He looked at Master Wen and couldn't help but have the illusion that this man's temperament, words and deeds when he was young might be similar to Cheng Sanwu.Although he has been influenced by Confucianism for a long time, he has gained a little more cultural accomplishment, and has tempered a lot over the years, but he always has a blazing fire in his heart and has eager expectations for everything.

No, to be precise, it was Cheng Sanwu Xiang Wenfuzi.

"Are you telling me this in the hope of winning me over?" Changqing knew very well that he was still shallow in the eyes of such an expert. According to common sense, Master Wen didn't need to explain too much to him.

"It's too philistine to talk about trying to win over someone. Besides, I won't do anything good for you." Master Wen spread his hands with an innocent look on his face.

"I have received a lot of guidance from you in my cultivation these days. In the final analysis, isn't it just about repaying kindness?" Changqing looked around: "As for this spiritual cave, I have never seen it before. It must have been caused by great magic power." Sealed. You leaked it on purpose so that I could find it, right?"

Master Wen scratched his head: "Why are young people like this now? If I teach you how to practice, can't it just be me admiring you? What's more, things like teaching and guidance are related to the prosperity of humanity and the benefits to future generations. I really want to count on you. In return, there are so many ways that you can even be used by me without knowing it!"

Chang Qing was speechless and speechless, thinking that the other party was known as the Saint of the East China Sea, and he must have had the experience of being a teacher in the past. There were countless junior students who received his guidance. Maybe Master Wen was really just a teacher.

"I know you have a grudge. What I told you to kill Cheng Sanwu was a bit too much." Master Wen sighed softly: "But I am not trying to win over you, but I have expectations for you. Some things, If I can handle it myself, I will try not to leave trouble for others. But with the current situation, I may not be able to ensure that I can get to the end safely, so I have to leave some backup options. I will not deliberately conceal and mislead, so I will be honest with you. "

Changqing was silent for a long time, and after some careful consideration, he asked: "What do you want me to do?"

"Keep an eye on Cheng Sanwu for me." Master Wen said: "Originally, our Fu Shifeng people have been taking turns doing this, but some changes have happened recently, and I plan to stop temporarily."

Chang Qing had a sharp mind and immediately said: "Is there a conflict within Fu Shifeng?"

"Not yet, but the signs are there." Master Wen tapped his fingers on his knees: "This is also my responsibility. In order to promote Taotie to transform into a human being, I destroyed many of Fu Shifeng's old practices. No wonder others followed suit. . And with the transformation of Taotie into humans, this burden that has lasted for thousands of years will eventually be lifted, and some people will start to have other thoughts."

When Changqing heard this, several thoughts came to his mind and he asked: "Could it be that the chaos in Hebei and the battle at Yongning Temple were all caused by you, Fu Shifeng?"

"I'm not sure at the moment, I just found some clues." Master Wen said: "There is no beginning for luxury, and there is an end for Xianke. Since the disaster of gluttony can be ended, Fu Shifeng should retire after his success. It is not appropriate to force anything. , but became the cause of disaster.”

Changqing now fully understood that what Master Wen wanted to solve was not only the Taotie disaster, but also to prevent Fu Shifeng himself from going astray.

The struggle among them can be glimpsed from the chaos in Hebei.Master Wen was just a member of Fu Shifeng. If other hidden masters who could compete with him really wanted to make a difference, they would probably cause huge chaos.

"In the future, except for me, if anyone claims to be a member of Fu Shifeng, don't believe it." Master Wen reminded: "But you don't have to resist, you just need to deal with it. I will come at the right time." Looking for you."
