Fu Shifeng

Chapter 268 Knowing desire but not losing it
When he heard the master say this, he looked away, as if he was talking to someone from a distance.

Changqing asked in confusion: "Senior, what you said seems to mean something else? Could it be that I did something wrong in getting married to Wulingzhuang?"

"How can things like getting married be judged by right or wrong?" Master Wen waved his hands and paced with his hands behind his back, sighing with emotion: "When I was your age, I was already married. It was also the order of my parents and the matchmaker. At that time, I had no choice but to accept it obediently."

Changqing is a very smart person. He had some vague guesses and couldn't help but ask: "Senior, is it possible that someone deliberately guided me to get married to Wulingzhuang?"

"What do you think?" Master Wen asked in return.

Chang Qing was silent for a long time. After careful consideration, he came to an answer that he didn't want to face: "Is it Cheng Sanwu?"

Master Wen lifted his bun and said, "As far as I know, Wulingzhuang, as one of the rewards for killing Fan Zhongming, was originally supposed to be given to Cheng Sanwu. But he just used some small tricks, and things changed. Today, I gave Wulingzhuang to you, and even tied you tightly to Wulingzhuang."

"Why...why would he do this?" Changqing couldn't figure it out.

Master Wen pointed at himself and said, "He found out that I have contact with you and doesn't want you to continue to be used by me. As long as you have a family and a career, you have to take care of your family and have no time to be distracted elsewhere."

"This doesn't seem certain, right?" Chang Qing said, "Even if we get married, we can still keep an eye on Cheng Sanwu."

"What if he has to leave Jiangnan soon? Do you really want to abandon your new wife and continue traveling elsewhere?"

Master Wen saw Changqing opening his mouth to speak, and raised his hand to stop him: "No, you are not this kind of person, and I don't want you to become this kind of person. Most of the people in Fu Shifeng are outsiders. They seem to be extraordinary, but they are not. Because he is far away from worldly sentiments, his behavior becomes more and more biased. Cheng Sanwu not only saw through you, but also Fu Shifeng, and also anticipated my decision."

Chang Qing was shocked: "I know Cheng Sanwu is not as ignorant and reckless as he appears, but I never expected that he would be so scheming."

Master Wen smiled and said, "What? Are you disappointed with his concealment of his intentions and hypocrisy?"

Changqing shook his head: "Isn't he tired like this?"

"It's better to say it's torture than tiredness." Master Wen said with a helpless smile: "You also said that Cheng Sanwu is equivalent to a heavy burden imposed by our Fu Shifeng. Just like the jailer guarding Taotie, he is also not allowed to do it. Freedom. But... Cheng Sanwu knows how to plot against us, which is a good thing."

"Is this a good thing?" Changqing was puzzled.

Master Wen tapped his forehead with his finger: "He is willing to calculate with his heart, which shows that he and Taotie are gradually different from each other, and he has enough physical and mental resources. I never have too much power to resist Taotie."

Chang Qing couldn't help but ask: "Senior, Cheng Sanwu is also half Taotie, right? If one day in the future, he is completely freed, but does something more terrifying than Taotie, how do you plan to deal with it?"

"That's a good question." Master Wen nodded: "Many people in Fu Shifeng also have doubts. If in order to eradicate the scourge of gluttony, it causes another great disaster to the world, wouldn't it be worth the loss? Cheng Sanwu's You have seen his scheming methods before, even Taotie may not be his opponent. If it were you, what would you do?"

Changqing thought for a long time and felt deeply confused: "I don't know, please give me some advice from my seniors."

As a result, Master Wen chuckled: "What's so difficult about that? When Cheng Sanwu and Taotie are completely separated, he will no longer have the power of immortality. If he has done something harmful to the world by then, he will be killed. This It’s no different from other people in the world who seek to cause harm.”

Chang Qing suddenly realized that from the beginning to the end of Master Wen, he wanted Taotie to transform into one of the living beings in the world.As for some sentient beings who wantonly cause trouble, there are ways to deal with them throughout the ages.

Without the power of immortality, whether it is Taotie or Cheng Sanwu, no matter how powerful they are, they will act with caution in order to preserve their own survival.

When that time comes, Cheng Sanwu and Taotie can always be eliminated, whether by relying on force or ingenuity.

"In other words, let them learn to get along with all living beings in this world." Chang Qing said.

Master Wen's eyes lit up, he took a deep breath and said, "Very good. Saying this shows that you really understand the true meaning of eradicating the evil of gluttony."

"Thank you, senior, for your guidance." Changqing bowed his hands.

"No matter how many others give you, it is not as solid as your own understanding." Master Wen looked in the direction of Langfeng Pavilion: "Actually, in my opinion, Cheng Sanwu has gone further than Taotie when it comes to getting along with all living beings in the world. I still have some confidence in my plan, hehe!"

Seeing the complacent and non-serious smile, Changqing was in a daze for a while, mistakenly thinking that the person in front of him was Cheng Sanwu.

Perhaps Cheng Sanwu is another face of Master Wen's view of the world?
"But Cheng Sanwu's hatred towards Fu Shifeng and his seniors..."

Seeing Changqing's doubts, Master Wen waved his hands indifferently: "Hate is also one of the emotions of all living beings. If it is really a great evil from ancient times, it is just following instinct to devour everything. Without love and hatred, it will be even more difficult to deal with."

Hearing Master's words, it didn't sound like he was risking his life or death, but instead he sounded calm and calm.

Chang Qing thought about it carefully. During the battle in Wu County, Master Wen's strength was beyond imagination. Even Taotie could hardly gain the upper hand. Perhaps this was the reason why he said this.

"Senior just said that Cheng Sanwu was leaving Jiangnan, but what news did he get?" Chang Qing asked on second thought.

"He caused some trouble for himself so that the Ministry of Internal Affairs could transfer him away from Jiangnan." Master Wen shrugged, as if beating an envoy in public was not a big deal to him: "He realized that his situation was not good. Miao, so I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble to you and the dominatrix, so I chose to stay away from you for the time being.”

Changqing sighed silently, and heard the Master say: "You are about to get married, I should have given you some congratulatory gifts. But then I thought about the Daxia Dragon Bird and Dancing Fairy Lamp I left for you earlier. These gifts should be enough, right?"

"Senior has been as kind to me as a mountain, how dare I ask for more?" Chang Qing said.

When Master Wen was about to speak, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked into the distance, laughing with a strange expression: "That's right, it's time to learn how to behave between men and women."

"What do you mean, senior?" Changqing didn't understand, so she turned around and followed the other person's gaze.

The bamboo forest was pitch dark late at night, and Changqing was about to use his eyesight when he heard the wind blowing behind him. He heard that the master had disappeared without a trace, and only a few dry leaves were carried flying.

Just as he was about to ask, a woman's voice came from the bamboo forest: "Changqing, is that you?"

"Sanniang?" Changqing was nervous, fearing that the other party would notice that she came out to meet Master Wen, so she asked, "Why are you here?"

With light steps stepping on the thick fallen leaves, Chu Wanjun slowly walked out of the darkness. Her whole body was exuding a hazy light, like a ghost in the forest.

She was seen wearing a snow-gauze light shirt, ramie trousers, and plain embroidered shoes casually on her feet. She must have gotten up in the middle of the night, but I don't know why she appeared here.

"Why are you here?" Chu Wanjun tilted her head, like a waterfall of black hair hanging down her shoulders, her tone was empty and she had no intention of questioning.

Chang Qing pretended to be calm: "I was practicing at night and my Qi was a little restless, so I went out to get some fresh air." Chu Wanjun responded with a vague response, and then said: "I'm here to find you."

"Looking for me?" Changqing deliberately avoided Chu Wanjun, so she said: "It's so late at night, Sanniang, please go to bed early. If you have anything else, let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow."

"No." Chu Wanjun's voice was very soft, but her tone was firm: "I heard that you are getting married soon?"

"Yes." Chang Qing said sternly: "So we should not have a private meeting late at night. Please respect yourself."

A trace of confusion appeared on Chu Wanjun's face: "I seem to remember some past events recently, but my mind is very confused."

"In this case, Sanniang should rest in peace." Changqing was helpless. Getting rid of the inner demons did not mean that she would have no worries from now on.When we recall the past again, the sadness in our hearts will not diminish.

"I can't remember Sanlang's appearance." Chu Wanjun had a strange expression on her face, and the corners of her eyes twitched slightly, as if they were signs of madness in the past.

Chang Qing was stunned, as smart as he was, he didn't know how to respond.

Chu Wanjun was seen hugging her arms tightly, as if she was cold, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "Can you stay with me? Just like Sanlang."

Changqing couldn't bear it, so she took a step forward, then suddenly stopped, forced a straight face, and said in a deep voice: "I'm not Saburo, you recognized the wrong person."

Fearing that she would make a mistake, Changqing turned around and wanted to leave.But before he could take a few steps, Chu Wanjun hugged him from behind. The two were so soft and close together that the cloth seemed to be nothing.

"Sanniang, what are you doing?!" Changqing was startled and tried to break free. However, Chu Wanjun's arms tightly wrapped around Changqing's torso with great strength. Changqing pulled and pulled several times without any change.

Chu Wanjun's hands moved around Changqing's body, and her fingers were very dexterous. After teasing, he pulled his robe loosely.Chang Qing was greatly frightened, Shen shouted and wanted to cast a spell to force Chu Wanjun away, even if this move might injure the other party.

But Chu Wanjun obviously expected Changqing's move, and her sword points connected. The true energy in Changqing's body was immediately restrained, and her limbs became stiff and unable to move.

Although Chang Qing was profound in Taoism, his martial arts skills were far inferior to Chu Wanjun's, and he was easily pushed to the ground by his opponent.

Chu Wanjun sat astride Chang Qing, her eyes blurred, and with an air of attachment, she gently caressed the man.

"Just for one night, let me be wild this night, okay?" Chu Wanjun's face was sad and beautiful, and she was about to cry. The fragrance of orchid and musk deer blew onto Changqing's face with her breath, making him fascinated.

Chang Qing no longer knew how to refuse, so she just nodded in a daze, and then her mouth was blocked by two warm and sweet lips.

In the long night, a ball of flames burst out.

……

As the wedding day approaches, Wulingzhuang is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and Taguan Zhenren arrives, much to Changqing's surprise.

"Master, why are you here?" Changqing hurried out to greet him after learning the news.

"You are getting married, how could I not come?" Master Daguan smiled kindly and looked at Cheng Sanwu not far away: "I also want to thank Mr. Cheng for your troubles and troubles for my disciple's life-long event."

"Don't bother, don't bother! Master Daguan is serious!" Cheng Sanwu laughed.

Changqing knew that it was Cheng Sanwu who sent the letter to Master Daguan. Calculating the time, maybe the two parties have been exchanging letters since last year.

"Disciple is unworthy. I didn't take the initiative to report such a big thing to Master." Changqing lowered his head in shame.

Master Daguan’s discipline to Chang Qing was not strict, it could even be said to be lenient. He smiled plainly and raised his hand to caress Chang Qing’s head: “Before you came down from the mountain, Master said that if you want to start a family and start a career, Master I won’t interfere with you. People have to be responsible for themselves, and this is especially true for our cultivators."

"Disciple has been taught." Changqing turned to ask: "Didn't Master preach in the palace before? Why did you come to Jiangnan?"

"I have said all I can say. If the saint gives you the gold and returns it, nothing will happen."

When Master Daguan said this, he felt a little regretful.Chang Qing understood that his master studied Taoism and military art in the hope of putting his knowledge to use.Now that the saint has given him the gold and returned it, he obviously has no intention of entrusting him with important tasks.

"In this case, why don't master stay in the south of the Yangtze River temporarily?" Changqing said with great interest: "The beautiful mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are suitable for practicing Taoism. The disciple has also met many practitioners these days. If you have free time, you can go and visit them. Talk about mystery and Taoism.”

"That's fine." Master Daguan nodded in agreement.

At this time, Mrs. He came after hearing the news. Over the past few days, she had already heard that Chang Qing and Lu Xiang were not in harmony with their son. Perhaps Da Guan was more like the male parent.

While the two parties were chatting happily, Cheng Sanwu found Afu and asked quietly: "Master Daguan seems a little depressed? What happened to him in Chang'an?"

"I received news. It is said that several Indian monks came to Chang'an and taught the teachings of Maha Vairocana. They were regarded as national teachers by the saints and built an altar in the inner court to support the monks." Afu's expression He said flatly: "Master Daguan and several immortal masters from Jixianyuan believe that what Fan monk taught is not the authentic Buddhist teachings, so it is inevitable that they will have some resentment."

Cheng Sanwu was puzzled: "Don't today's saints yearn for immortality? Taoist priests should be more popular, right?"

Afu sneered and said: "Do you really think that today's saints trust Taoism without reservation? What saints want is for Taoism to be used by them to determine the orthodoxy of destiny. Have you forgotten the prophecy preached by a sect in Ziyun Cave in Chicheng Mountain before? That was also done by Taoist priests."

"Oh? Did that happen?" Cheng Sanwu asked curiously.

"It's hard to say, Grandmaster Baiyunzi is still responsible for the sacrifice of the Five Sacred Mountains." Afu gently touched his chin: "I would guess that the saint is quite afraid of the prophecies and the heirs of the deposed emperor, and paying respect to the Tianzhu monks is also a sign."

"Speaking of the deposed emperor's heirs, have you found any clues?" Cheng Sanwu asked.

"No." Afu shook his head and sighed: "I also regret it a little. When I first found out where the deposed emperor's heir was, I should have kidnapped him. But now I can't find him, and it has become a long-term hidden danger."

Cheng Sanwu chuckled and said, "Anyway, you can continue to stay in Jiangnan in the name of searching for the heirs of the deposed emperor."

A Fu was about to say something when Qin Wangshu arrived quietly and reported: "The news came from Mr. Ye from Jiangdu. Chu Zhongcheng came with his people, accompanied by Rou Zhaojun and Chongguang Jun, who were ten years old. .”

"Oh? It's a big fight to ask me to leave." Cheng Sanwu said calmly, "Let them come. After I finish attending Chang Qing's wedding, it's time to leave."
