Fu Shifeng

Chapter 275 Humanity is on the rise
  "what do you mean?"

Mr. Hong Ya looked at Mu Xiangling and Qin Wangshu who were talking more than ten feet away. Although they were only a short distance apart, the cloud barrier was enough to block the field of vision and disrupt the senses, making it impossible for Qin Wangshu to detect Hong Ya. The presence of Mr.

"What are you asking?"

Next to him, Mu Xiaojun, who looked like a girl, said with an old-fashioned look: "You speak too mysteriously, I can't understand you."

Mr. Hong Ya motioned to Qin Wangshu: "Why did you detain Cheng Sanwu's subordinates on the island? This is tantamount to inviting trouble."

Mu Xiaojun raised his eyebrows slightly: "I heard that the master always talks about how Taotie transforms people. I can't just believe one word. It must be proven."

"Are you testing Cheng Sanwu to see if he will come to Yunmeng Pavilion for his subordinates?" Mr. Hong Ya disagreed: "This is not appropriate. There have always been people in the world who will do anything to achieve their goals. Cheng Sanwu His refusal to come may be because he does not want to be coerced, but it cannot prove anything.”

"But he's here and the boat is already on the lake." Mu Xiaojun said calmly.

Mr. Hong Ya raised his eyes and stared east for a moment, and then said: "Blooming with the mountains and rivers, everything in the surrounding area is under the eyes. He is worthy of being the leader of the Xiaoxiang group. The eight-thousand-year-old Dachun really has a profound heritage."

"My original body is acanthus, not chun." Mu Xiaojun retorted angrily: "As for having a profound background, I don't dare to take it seriously. After all, acanthus trees like me are useless."

"It's so hard to have nothing to do," Mr. Hong Ya said.

"Here we go again, insisting on showing off knowledge." Mu Xiaojun sighed helplessly, her expression was not as childish as she appeared.

"But it's very risky for you to do this." Mr. Hong Ya reminded: "Although Cheng Sanwu doesn't know the relationship between you and Senior Shen Ji yet, if you test like this, once he gets violent, I'm afraid there will be a fierce fight."

"I have been incarnate for more than a thousand years. I have observed the world for a long time and know how to act appropriately." Mu Xiaojun looked at Qin Wangshu and said: "Xiang Ling just used the method of 'trance in dreams' to spy on this person's memory and learned that Cheng Sanwu The last time I came to the land of Xiaoxiang, it was under the orders of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to deal with a thousand-year-old ghost king."

"The Millennium Ghost King?" Mr. Hong Ya frowned: "Is their target Senior Shen Ji?"

"Although it is not certain yet, I suspect that your master's identity was exposed during the battle with Taotie in Wuxian County." Mu Xiaojun held his chin with one hand, lowered his head slightly and thought: "The master rarely shows up on weekdays, but in the past In the land of Xiaoxiang, spirits were hunted and occasionally rescued the people. Over time, statues were erected in temples to worship them. The eyes and ears of the Ministry of Internal Affairs may have noticed the connection between the two, so they sent Sanwu here. "

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Seeing Mu Xiaojun's confused look, Mr. Hong Ya explained: "Senior Shen Ji's identity is exposed, which means that people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs already know that Cheng Sanwu is Taotie, and this is deliberately setting up a trap for Cheng. Sanwu came here to induce us to take action!"

Mu Xiaojun's face darkened: "Am I falling into a trap?"

"Even if not, you will inevitably be subject to suspicion now." Mr. Hong Ya said, "So I don't agree with you recruiting Cheng Sanwu to meet."

"Do you think I just have time to see him?" Mu Xiaojun put his hands on his hips and said, "There are several big monsters in Xiaoxiang who were suppressed by their masters in the past. They have been trying to make a move in the past few years. I'm worried that Master Wen will take away Taiyi Ling in the future. , the seal is difficult to maintain, and once you break free, you will definitely retaliate and cause havoc."

Mr. Hong Ya knows that from ancient times to the pre-Qin Dynasty, the Xiaoxiang area has been a sparse and barren land with few people inhabited, and there are many big monsters and evil spirits entrenched in it.

Although Zulong unified the nine states, expanded the territory to the south of Wuling, and established many counties and counties, the land of Xiaoxiang still had few people and many animals. The giant monsters monopolize a mountainous wilderness and create their own power, and the government cannot control them. They may even move some people south of the Yangtze River to the Jianghuai area because the land is humid and the vegetation grows long.

Later, when Fu Shifeng was established and Shen Ji returned to the Chu land, she saw great monsters occupying the mountains and rivers. They often had roots thousands of miles away and holes extending in all directions, seeking blood sacrifices and spreading poison to harm the people. In particular, the frequent actions that disturbed the earth's veins were extremely detrimental to the long-term plan of banning Taotie, so Shen Ji made a move to treat and suppress him.

It was then that Mu Xiaojun began to follow Shen Ji. She was originally an acanthus tree that had grown for thousands of years in the forests of Xiaoxiang Mountain. Later, she transformed into a human being and occasionally left the world. Because she did not do any harm, she became Shen Ji. The most powerful right-hand man.

Shen Ji herself is not good at fighting. She comes from a clan in Xiling of Chu State that specializes in the secrets of witchcraft. If she encounters enemies, she usually uses spirits to deal with them.

It is precisely because of this habit that Shen Ji gradually admitted and treated a large number of spirit guardians. As for the very few giant monsters that refused to surrender, they relied on the Taiyi Order to influence the mountains and rivers, and suppressed them with seals instead of killing them.

Whether it is Shen Ji or Mu Xiaojun, they are both people with long lifespans. Thousands of years pass by quickly, and they don't think there is anything wrong with sealing off the big monster.

It wasn't until more than ten years ago that Taotie's plan to transform humans into human beings made unprecedented progress. After hearing that the master had put Cheng Sanwu into the human world, Mu Xiaojun vaguely felt that there might be a huge change in the future.

If he continued to be indifferent to the secular world as he had done in the past, he would be handicapped, so he proposed to Shen Ji to get involved in the secular world.

Shen Ji herself did not interfere and allowed Mu Xiaojun to do whatever he wanted, so she chose to open the Yunmeng Pavilion on Junshan Island in Dongting Lake. Most of her disciples were not mortals, but various people who had followed Shen Ji and Mu Xiaojun in the past. Monster-like spirits.

Therefore, Yunmeng Pavilion has achieved a reputation that is no less impressive than that of the long-established sect in just a dozen years.

Although Mu Xiaojun followed Shen Ji and was very suspicious of Master Wen's plan to transform people into gluttons, she herself admired Master Wen's theory that humanity should be promoted.

Mu Xiaojun has lived as an eight-thousand-year-old man who has transformed into the world for thousands of years. The changes in the world can be said to be vivid and deeply touched. She couldn't help but feel that the retreat of ghosts and gods and the hiding of demons might be an irreversible trend in the future world. This was something that she, as the leader of the Xiaoxiang group, could not resist.

Since you can't resist forcefully, it's better to go with the flow, like hiding trees in the forest or swimming in the water. This is the best way to protect yourself.

Therefore, Yunmeng Pavilion searches for spirits and exorcises witchcraft not only to win people's hearts, but also to control the little spirits and monsters scattered in the rivers, lakes and mountains, and guide them into the world step by step, so as not to cause great harm in the future.

In Mu Xiaojun's vision, the Yunmeng Pavilion is a bridge between the spirits of Xiaoxiang and all living beings in the world. She is willing to be a useless acanthus tree, allowing monsters and spirits outside the world to sleep freely under it, and live in peace with each other. .

But before that, those ancient demons suppressed by Shen Ji's seal must also consider how to deal with them.

Frankly speaking, it is impossible to educate these ancient monsters. They are extremely stubborn, otherwise they would not have been banned for thousands of years. So Mu Xiaojun came up with a way, which was to let Cheng Sanwu deal with them.

"Isn't Cheng Sanwu here for the Thousand-Year Ghost King? Then I will release a Thousand-Year Ghost King." Mu Xiaojun said to Mr. Hong Ya: "If he can wipe out these ancient monsters, he will solve a problem for us. It’s a big trouble, and it’s easy for the master to deal with it.”

Mr. Hong Ya nodded silently. In fact, Shen Ji was the only one in Fu Shi Feng who clearly opposed the seizure of the Taiyi Order. And since she is the highest ranking person, Master Wen absolutely cannot take it away by force, and can only give it up voluntarily.

It would be best if Shen Ji could be made to realize that Cheng Sanwu was no longer a great evil in ancient times and a scourge of the world. "But don't forget, Cheng Sanwu cannot be driven by anyone. Even if he is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he must do so at the cost of allowing him to plunder and amass." Mr. Hong Ya reminded: "Now that you are taking his subordinates as hostages, it is estimated that Can’t get better.”

"I don't specifically detain people, but I still want to know their current movements!" Mu Xiaojun said angrily, and then looked at Qin Wangshu: "I don't know how much weight this woman has in Cheng Sanwu's mind. .”

"Not much," Mr. Hong Ya said bluntly: "Apart from that dominatrix, there is almost no other woman in Cheng Sanwu's heart."

Mu Xiaojun thought: "I didn't expect that after Taotie turned into a human being, he turned out to be unexpectedly single-minded... Forget it, let's not follow the other side and let him deal with the big monster directly, and give him a share of the credit. That’s good. Hong Ya, you have to come and help too.”

"How can I help?" Mr. Hong Ya asked.

"Get some evidence to lure Cheng Sanwu to deal with those big monsters." Mu Xiaojun said, "The first priority right now is to prevent Cheng Sanwu from meeting his master."

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. Xiling, where Shen Ji was born, had been destroyed by gluttons in the pre-Qin period, and almost all the creatures in the city were devoured by them.

Although Shen Ji survived the disaster, she knew that she was too weak compared to Taotie, so she decided to abandon her body and enter the ghost realm. This move seems to last forever, but it is like a wandering spirit wandering the world, incompatible with everything.

Mu Xiaojun sees this more clearly. She decided to found the Yunmeng Pavilion so that she could gradually integrate into the human world. However, Shen Ji seems to be stuck in the past a long time ago, relying entirely on her obsession with killing Taotie to maintain her existence.

"Okay." Mr. Hong Ya did not object.

Mu Xiaojun sighed softly: "If there is anyone in Fu Shifeng who I can trust without reservation, maybe you are the only one? But your obsession is no less than that of the master."

"Why did you say that?" Mr. Hong Ya asked.

"Don't think I didn't see it." Mu Xiaojun raised his head and stared at the other party: "The Grain God's Immortal Method is used to inherit spiritual experience, spiritual cultivation, and magical power. The requirements are extremely strict. It does not allow for ups and downs of emotions and destroys one's nature. How much persistence does this require? How can you persevere through chanting? I don’t think you look like a cultivator at all.”

"If you don't want to be quiet, the world will be determined by itself." Mr. Hong Ya said.

"We are arguing here again." Mu Xiaojun waved his hand: "Cheng Sanwu is coming soon, I'll go get ready and see what kind of character he is!"

……

The smoke was vast and the waves were winding. Cheng Sanwu stood on the bow of the boat and saw Junshan Island shrouded in mist from a distance. He smiled and said nothing. The Hundred Refined Divine Sword at his waist had not yet been unsheathed. The mist split in two.

"It's really full of demonic fog!" Cheng Sanwu cursed and turned to look at the state officials on the deck: "Is this Junshan Island usually like this?"

The official nodded and said, "This has been the case since Yunmeng Pavilion established its foothold on the island. Outsiders cannot approach easily. Only with their permission can they be brought inside."

"Damn it, isn't this like taking over the mountain and becoming the king?" Cheng Sanwu laughed and scolded: "What if the fishermen are fishing nearby and want to go to the island to rest?"

"The fishermen are very sensible and would not come here to fish." The official replied with a flattering smile.

Too lazy to worry too much, the official ship arrived at the dock. Two men and two women were already waiting here. They were all beautiful and well-dressed. At first glance, they all looked like ordinary people, just like disciples of the immortal family.

"Greetings to Mr. Zhaoyang." When the two men and two women saw Cheng Sanwu disembarking from the boat and landing, they took the initiative to salute.

"Oh? The etiquette is quite thorough." Cheng Sanwu raised his eyes and glanced around. The fog on the island was even denser than what he had seen before. It was impossible to see the layout of any houses in it. There was only a small road that also extended into the fog.

"There is one thing I have to ask you first." Cheng Sanwu smiled with a bit of power: "One of my subordinates may have been lost on Junshan Island. Do you know the situation?"

"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhaoyang, your family is a guest in the hotel and there is no harm." One of the women replied: "The owner of the hotel has learned that Mr. Zhaoyang is visiting and has prepared fine wine to entertain the guests. Please come with us."

Cheng Sanwu waved, and Zhang Fan followed with a few gifts. He looked back and saw that Rou Zhaojun and Chongguang Jun remained on the boat and did not show up.

Before setting off, the three of them had secretly discussed that Cheng Sanwu would come forward to communicate with Yunmeng Pavilion, while Rou Zhaojun and Chongguang Jun would sneak into Junshan Island from elsewhere to find out.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has always been very wary of this kind of spiritual sect with unknown origins, not to mention that every move of the three of them before and after they came to Baling was under the control of the other party, and no one could accept it.

Following the Yunmeng Pavilion disciples deep into Junshan Island, after walking a few steps, the dock behind them was already obscured by thick fog, and they saw a huge bluestone standing beside the path, with the two characters "liberate the troops" written in cinnabar on it.

"In the Yunmeng Pavilion, outsiders are not allowed to use weapons. Please Zhaoyang Lord, please unload your weapons here, and we will keep them for you." A male disciple cupped his hands and said.

Cheng Sanwu looked at the nearly two-foot-high defense stone and couldn't help but sneer: "What a big rule, you have to take off your weapon before entering. If your master doesn't like me later, how can I?" Don’t you want to be slaughtered?”

"Jun Zhaoyang is joking."

"I'm not in the mood to joke with you."

Cheng Sanwu snorted coldly and raised his hand to draw his sword. The four men and women immediately looked shocked and each assumed a stance to defend themselves against the enemy.

But before they could make any move, Cheng Sanwu waved his arm like lightning, and the mighty sword light was swept out. There was only a clang sound, and the whole piece of relief stone tilted and fell, and was split into two pieces with one knife.

"I don't like others to set rules for me." Cheng Sanwu put his sword back into its sheath and looked around at the four Yunmeng Pavilion disciples. They all had angry expressions on their faces as they watched the soldier-defeating stone being chopped into pieces with one sword.

"How about it? Do you want to choose to do it here? I don't mind either." Cheng Sanwu said with a ferocious smile, the flames all over his body were ready to move.
