Fu Shifeng

Chapter 185: The Dragon’s Qi

Ever since Cheng Sanwu confessed his origins and his relationship with Fu Shifeng, Afu was most worried about Yan Fengjun's attitude towards Cheng Sanwu.

This person had met Master Wen, and perhaps the Emperor Taizu of Great Xia, so when he saw Cheng Sanwu's description of his appearance, he couldn't possibly have noticed it.

It's just that the relationship between Cheng Sanwu and Daxia Taizu is so strange that even a high-ranking vampire like Afu who has experienced the world for a long time has never heard of it.The so-called shaping of the physical body with fetal essence and blood was far beyond her previous knowledge.

Perhaps for Yan Fengjun, whether it was Taizu Daxia's resurrection from the dead or the use of secret methods to shape his body, each of them was so shocking that he did not even dare to point out the relationship between Cheng Sanwu and Taizu Daxia, so he could only make various insinuations. of temptation.

But on the contrary, Afu is also testing Yan Fengjun. She needs to understand his attitude towards Cheng Sanwu and Fu Shifeng before she can plan her future actions.

"You know from the previous chapter, since Fu Shifeng once secretly assisted Taizu and supposedly made great contributions, why does the Ministry of Internal Affairs still target them?"

In the government office, after Yan Fengjun met Damen Yi and Zhao Teng respectively, he burned incense and cooked tea in a quiet secret room before talking about important matters.

"It's just that I'm worried that they have ulterior motives and are plotting secretly." Afu watched Yan Fengjun play with the tea set, his movements precise and in place.

"This is one of the reasons." Yan Fengjun said with a smile: "But from the perspective of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are countless people with ulterior motives in this world. Even if they are scholars without martial arts, a pen can have the power to inspire people. "

Afu knew that this was a hint to Cui Duo and Hongfan Academy, but she didn't care about it, so she asked: "It must be that Fu Shifeng has some means to shake the foundation of the imperial court and even bring disaster to the world?"

"In the previous chapter, Jun Hui has an orchid heart, just a little bit will help." Yan Fengjun poured a bowl of hot tea for Afu.

Afu smiled with emotion: "Emperor, Huixinlanzhi is used to describe a pure and elegant little girl, but I don't think it's appropriate."

"I was careless." Mr. Yan Feng was always polite and bowed his head slightly to apologize, and then returned to the topic: "What is really scary about Fu Shifeng is that they control the earth vein dragon energy."

Afu had already heard Cheng Sanwu talk about this matter, and didn't think there was anything strange about it. She had to pretend not to know, frowning slightly and said: "Earth veins and dragon energy? I know the earth veins, but the theory of dragon energy is a bit false." "

"Shang Zhangjun thinks that the statement that the master is attracted by the dragon's energy is not credible?" Yan Fengjun asked.

Afu held up the tea bowl and blew the hot air gently, took a small sip, and then said: "The theory of dragon energy is very mysterious. I can't say it is not true, but I dare not make a conclusion easily. You and I have both witnessed the changes of dynasties, and there are some emperors' myths and flattery. , you don’t need to take it seriously. Especially on the battlefield, it relies on wisdom and calculation, food, grass and soldiers."

"It's convenient for Mr. Shang Zhang to see it this way." Yan Fengjun seemed to be relieved: "But the so-called dragon energy is not an illusory myth and legend, but a real and powerful force of heaven and earth. There are indeed people whose masters are dragons. The spirit is strong, but there is only one person in the history."

"Who?"

"Ancestral Dragon, the First Emperor." Yan Fengjun saw Afu's almond-shaped eyes widen slightly, obviously surprised, so he continued: "Shang Zhangjun may think that what I am going to tell you is too bizarre - the First Emperor unified the nine states and inherited the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. According to the legend, the order of the Qi of mountains and rivers is determined, so it is favored by the dragon Qi. This is the achievement of unparalleled achievements."

"But the second Qin Dynasty died, so this dragon energy is obviously useless." Afu's tone was slightly disdainful.

"The addition of dragon energy is a sign of bad luck for the country." Yan Fengjun said: "If the First Emperor wants to determine the order of mountains and rivers, then he will face the disaster of overturning the order of mountains and rivers."

"What calamity?"

"Taotie."

Looking at Yan Fengjun with a serious face, Afu couldn't help but laugh out loud. This was both disguise and secret joy.

"Why are you laughing in the previous chapter?" Yan Fengjun asked.

"I probably understand why you have always been secretive and refused to elaborate before." Afu sighed helplessly: "This is both Zulong and Taotie. It is just like reading a storybook compiled by literati in the market. It is a pity to say It’s not exciting enough, it’s all straightforward.”

"Shang Zhangjun, don't you believe it?"

Afu actually believed it, but she pretended not to believe it: "Anyway, I didn't hear any connection between this and Fu Shifeng."

"Because after the First Emperor, it was Fu Shifeng who controlled the movement of the dragon energy in the Nine Provinces." Yan Fengjun said: "They adhere to the ancestral dragon's legacy and take it as their own duty to seal the Taotie. However, over the years, I have found that Fu Shifeng is gradually unwilling to do so. Here, I use the dragon energy of the earth veins to seek personal gain for myself.”

Hearing this, Afu really couldn't figure it out, and immediately asked: "Since Fu Shifeng has mastered the dragon energy of the earth vein, what's wrong with making profits for himself?"

Yan Fengjun was sitting upright, exuding a resolute and unquestionable temperament: "The dragon energy of the earth is related to the stability of the mountains and rivers of Jiuzhou. Mastering the dragon energy is equivalent to shouldering the rise and fall of the world. If you are not careful, the order of the mountains and rivers will be shaken. How can it be done? Isn’t it a disaster to the common people?”

Afu was slightly startled, obviously not expecting Yan Fengjun to say these words, and heard him continue: "If Fu Shifeng continued to assist Taizu and let the earth vein dragon energy be used by the court, then I would There is nothing to say. But their actions are mysterious and unpredictable, so how can you tell what their intentions are?"

With her usual temperament, Zoe Afu must have regarded Yan Fengjun's call as fart, because her words were so righteous that it was unbelievable.

Why is this Yan Fengjun more innocent than the little Changqing baby?Is it possible that he really cares about the people of the world and is really loyal to the Great Xia court?Are you kidding me?Who in Gongchenwei's tenth year would believe this?If it weren't for the huge benefits from the imperial court, who would be willing to work like a hawk and suffer the consequences?
In fact, regarding the matter of Fu Shifeng and Taotie, what Yan Fengjun said can basically be corroborated with Cheng Sanwu, which shows that he did not fabricate anything.But as for his own motivation, it is simply ridiculous.

But at this moment, Yan Fengjun looked upright and awe-inspiring, as if he really meant it.

For some reason, Afu vaguely hoped that Yan Fengjun said this just to excuse herself. If this person really had this kind of temperament, then she would find it more troublesome.

"Shang Zhangjun, do you think I'm talking nonsense?" Yan Fengjun saw Afu's thoughts.

"I don't want to fight against a group of hidden masters with unknown origins without knowing anything about Fu Shifeng." Aftan said frankly: "As for whether the intentions of this group of people are good or evil, it doesn't matter. I don’t care whether the court is harmful or not.”

Yan Fengjun smiled and said, "This is why I value Shang Zhangjun."

"Among the ten Taisui, we can't be the only ones dealing with Fu Shifeng, right?" Afu asked again.

"Not everyone is as thoughtful and meticulous as Shang Zhangjun." Yan Fengjun seemed to answer, but also seemed not to answer.

"Now that Fisherman Chu has shown up, what should we do next?" Afu wanted to see Yan Fengjun's methods.

"Despite this, there are actually not many available means." Yan Fengjun said: "And our real goal is not only to eradicate Fu Shifeng, but to take over the earth dragon energy from their hands, so as to truly bear the responsibility for the rise and fall of the world. responsibility."

"Earth veins..." Afu knocked on the table and tried to guide her: "How about we start here?" "Heroes see the same thing." Yan Fengjun nodded and said: "Shang Zhangjun, have you heard about something that Grandmaster Baiyunzi previously said? I request the saints to set up a temple to the true king in the Five Mountains to put an end to other obscene worship, so as to stabilize the five directions."

"I heard something." Afu was a little surprised: "Could it be that Grandmaster Bai Yunzi is a member of Fu Shifeng?"

"It's hard to say." Yan Fengjun muttered: "But Grandmaster Baiyunzi is deeply loved by the saints, so it's hard to attack him directly. We can only pay attention to the layout of the Five Mountains True Monarch Temple and try to find clues from it."

"Do you need me to take action?" Afu asked with a smile.

"There is no need for Zhangjun to do any work at the moment."

Afu smiled and said nothing. She guessed that someone among the ten Taisui must be responsible for this matter. Judging from the abilities of each person, it might be Yongjun who was good at painting, calligraphy and painting.

"Then let's see what secrets are involved behind this assassination." Afu looked at the tea in the cup with a faint look.

……

In Shiyongfang, Luoyang, in a luxurious house with towering balconies, He Xiaotong leaned on the railing and looked south. Across Shanglinfang, where most of the gardens were, he could see the Luoshui River where boats were passing by.

Above the pavilion, a beautiful singer sang softly with a pipa in her arms, but He Xiaotong was not very interested.

When the sword on the wooden stand nearby made a gentle sound, He Xiaotong knew who was coming. He waved his hand and the singer stood up, folded her clothes and retreated. A moment later, someone came up the stairs and stood behind the screen to report:

"Master, Baiqiaozhuang Zhao Teng is currently imprisoned in the dungeon of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He is closely guarded and cannot use food, water, wounds or medicine."

"After all, it's the Ministry of Internal Affairs." He Xiaotong stood up and gently put his sword on it.This martial arts senior who is over sixty years old still has jet-black beard and hair, a tall and straight figure, and his eyes are not as sharp as those of ordinary swordsmen. Instead, his divine light is restrained, which shows that he has profound cultivation.

"But we also got one piece of news." The Jinping sect disciple behind the screen said: "The two people who rescued Da Yi last night were Zhaoyang Jun from the Gongchen Guards of the Internal Affairs Ministry, and the other was Zhaoyang Jun. The son of Prime Minister Lu is also a Taoist priest of Fu Zang Palace, and is known as Mr. Changqing."

"Is it him?" He Xiaotong frowned.

"It is said that they and Damen Yi have known each other since early in Hebei. It was just a coincidence that they met and went together last night."

He Xiaotong was not angry, he just said: "Zhao Teng is good at martial arts, but he may not be able to withstand the torture of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to extract a confession."

"Our people said that Zhao Teng was imprisoned in the dungeon of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was not tortured or interrogated." The disciple said: "And we just received news that the chief of Gongchen Guard arrived in Luoyang this morning."

"This is too fast." He Xiaotong paused and asked: "Mr. Changqing, as the son of Prime Minister Lu, actually got together with people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This is unusual. You go and find out about his movements. "

"I heard that Lord Zhaoyang is going to Guoseyuan with Mr. Changqing."

"Guoseyuan?" He Xiaotong smiled: "Send someone to go together to find out about Zhao Teng and Damen Yi."

"Yes."

……

Guoseyuan is not in Luoyang City, but located in the western suburbs outside the city. It is also known as Xiyuan.

This place was originally built under the orders of the last emperor of the previous dynasty. It has a lot of legacy from the Han and Wei dynasties. The garden site has undulating terrain, with hilly barriers on the outside and deep woods. Streams, valley rivers and Luo rivers flow through it. There are lakes and ponds dug inside, with water several feet deep. It is known as "North Sea", the water surface is wide, not frozen in winter, and the mist is vast, just like a fairyland.

It's not too far off to say it's a fairyland. The lake is filled with rocks and earth to create hills, named Penglai, Fanghu, and Yingzhou. There are Daozhen Temple, Jilingtai, Zongxian Palace, Taiguan Pavilion, and Luoluo Mountains on them.The wind pavilion and the moon view are all made by machines.It may arise or die, if there is a divine change.

In addition, there are sixteen courtyards in Guoseyuan, with Longlin Canal winding around them.During the previous dynasty, there were 16 ladies of the fourth rank in these sixteen courtyards, each of them presided over one courtyard. Among them, willows and bamboos were luxuriant on all sides, and the famous flowers and grasses reflected the beauty of the palace. .

Each of the sixteen courtyards also has a village, which may be used to raise grasshoppers, dig ponds to raise fish, grow vegetables and fruits, and provide food for all four seasons. There are many products from land and water.

Even though most of these sixteen courtyards were destroyed during the war in the last years of the previous dynasty, after being rebuilt by this dynasty, they are now better than ever, although their purpose has been slightly changed.

The capital of Daxia was Chang'an. Although Luoyang was the eastern capital, Emperor Taizu did not like to be extravagant, so Guoseyuan was initially abandoned for a long time.Later, people who were collecting wood and rocks in the forest garden and trying to open up wasteland encountered monsters, which caused rumors to spread.

Emperor Taizu sent people to investigate, and they learned that the abandoned Luoyang Xiyuan was occupied by a group of flower spirits at some point. The depths of the forest garden where weeds were originally reborn turned into a dazzling sea of ​​colorful flowers.

It's just that this sea of ​​flowers will exude a fragrance that is charming to the five senses and the mind. When ordinary people step into it, they will have hallucinations at least, and their essence will be sucked away, and they will be weak to death.

When Emperor Taizu heard about these strange things, he immediately set off on an eastward tour. Regardless of the advice of his ministers, he led thirty or fifty riders straight into Xiyuan to find out what was going on.

Later, after some inquiring, I learned that the group of flower essences that occupied Xiyuan had been here since the end of the previous dynasty.Because Xiyuan has been greatly repaired and constructed, it can be called a blessed place, which is very beneficial to the cultivation of flower essences.

As for the wars and killings caused by the change of dynasties, the flower essence naturally has a way to hide and avoid disasters.As Xiyuan fell into disuse, the flower spirits took it as their own.

At that time, a Taoist petitioned Emperor Taizu to kill all the evil spirits in order to cleanse the evil atmosphere of the previous dynasty. He even claimed that the last emperor of the previous dynasty was bewitched by such evildoers, and thus indulged in drunkenness and sex, and became violent and harmed the people.

However, Emperor Taizu did not take it seriously and retorted that the last emperor of the previous dynasty did not care about the people's strength, which was the fault of the human master. Why should he blame the alien monster?If you keep yourself upright, why should you fear the temptations of evil spirits?

Emperor Taizu simply allowed the flower spirits to live in Xiyuan, but accordingly, when the court rebuilt Xiyuan, the flower spirits also had to help.In the future, he would take care of the nursery, plant flowers, trees and trees, and leave it to the flower essence. He also changed the name of Xiyuan to Guoseyuan.

However, for the people around Luoyang at that time, the greatest virtue of Emperor Taizu was to directly distribute part of the wasteland that originally belonged to Guoseyuan to the local landless people.

"Our Emperor Taizu is virtuous."

After listening to Chang Qing's story along the way, Cheng Sanwu patted his chest and said.
