Fu Shifeng

Chapter 326 Everything is shocking

"Don't worry, just stay at home with peace of mind from now on. I'll let my wife take care of this child..."

"What? You want this child to recognize King Linzi? No, absolutely not..."

"Chang'an has become a dangerous place. If it weren't for your junior sister's intervention, I would have lost my head last night. I plan to send you and Zijin away to avoid the limelight first..."

"...I don't care what you think, as long as the world knows that you are my son, it is enough."

Chang Qing sat up suddenly, the few words that had just appeared in his dream still echoing in his mind.

For some reason, Changqing was almost sure that the person who said these words was Lu Yan. However, the previous words were very blurry, as if eavesdropping through a thick curtain. Only the last sentence was particularly clear - that was what happened between father and son in Chang'an. Said when recognizing each other.

Changqing sat on the couch, sweating all over his body. With his current level of cultivation, he shouldn't be disturbed by nightmares, unless what he just felt in the dream was his own memories, especially his experiences as a baby.

Quickly shaking his head to put away these confusing thoughts, Changqing raised his eyes and looked around. He was in a secluded guest house with tables, chairs and beds. There was also a Taoist scripture hanging on the wall. The writing is calm and focused, making it a superior work.

Changqing recognized at a glance that this was the "Golden Scissors Book" created by Grandmaster Bai Yunzi, which combined the seal script, official script, and seal script into one. There are many spiritual talisman Taoist scriptures circulated among Taoist sects that are said to be written by Bai Yunzi himself. In fact, most of them were copied by younger students and copied in name.

It was getting bright outside at the moment. Changqing changed her clothes and went out. She saw Chu Wanjun standing outside the house, talking to Jiao Jingzhen.

"Qi Lang, are you awake?" Chu Wanjun looked happy and was about to step forward but suddenly stopped.

Chang Qing responded, feeling that the atmosphere in the hospital was a bit strange. Just as he was about to speak, a red shadow fell from above, and his cold face made Chang Qing feel extremely friendly.

"Senior Yingjun? Why are you here?"

"I have received news that the Ministry of Internal Affairs may be against you." Ying Jun said.

"The chamberlain's senior official Qing is a little confused, so Ah Fu has been staying in Wulingzhuang in the past. If the chamberlain wants to do something to him, Ah Fu should know about it.

At this time, Miao Yu's voice came from the treetops in the courtyard: "There is obviously something big going on, why do you have to hide it?"

Changqing looked up and saw Miaoyu sitting on a horizontal branch, her long skirt swaying gently, like the tail feathers of a luan and a phoenix, faintly glowing with nine colors in the sunlight.

Ying Jun frowned slightly. With her cold personality, this expression showed how displeased and fearful she was.

"Congratulations to the Immortal for getting out of trouble." Changqing bowed his hands.

"You saved me, why do you say congratulations? You are obviously a Taoist, but you are bound by ethics." Although Miao Yu was the one who was saved, her tone remained the same.

Changqing's expression froze. He saw that Yingjun and Miaoyu couldn't get along. In order to ease the atmosphere, he wanted to introduce each other: "Senior Yingjun, this is..."

"I know, an immortal from the upper realm." Yingjun looked at Miaoyu without relaxing at all.

Changqing really didn't expect this kind of scene. On one hand, he was a mentor who taught swordsmanship, and on the other hand, he was an immortal from the upper world. It was impossible for him, a junior cultivator, to reconcile. And Changqing couldn't figure out why the two were hostile to each other.

Miaoyu stared at Yingjun and said, "I can sense that there is a difference in the weather in the direction of Chang'an, which may be related to what you are hiding."

"Senior, what happened?" Chang Qing couldn't help but ask. It was too rare for Lord Ying to show up to look for him.

"Your friend Cheng Sanwu, something happened to him." Yingjun said bluntly: "He may have been taken over by Taotie now, severely injuring Master Wen, and taking away many Taiyi Orders."

"Cheng Tao...you, me..."

Although it was a short sentence, Changqing's mind suddenly fell into chaos. He seemed to be unable to accept too much for a while, so he couldn't help but take a few steps back, tripped on the threshold with his heels, and fell backwards out of balance.

Just as Yingjun was about to take action, he suddenly heard the cry of a phoenix, and Miaoyu appeared behind Changqing in a flash, holding him up again, and then deliberately glanced at Yingjun, as if to demonstrate.

Changqing regained his footing. He didn't care too much and looked at Yingjun with a surprised look: "Why do seniors know so much? Could it be that you are a member of Fu Shifeng?"

"I don't count." Ying Jun confessed, "But Lu Yan used to be."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunder blast in Changqing's ears, making the hair on his body stand on end.

"What is the relationship between senior and him?" Chang Qing asked.

Ying Jun was silent for a moment and then replied: "Your mother is my senior sister. We both studied under the Gu Yue Sword Sect back then. In order to repay the kindness of taking care of me, I stayed with Lu Yan and secretly protected him and his family. ."

Changqing sat down holding his forehead. He felt that his life had undergone earth-shaking changes, and everything in the past had become blurred.

"Mother...isn't she a singing girl in the mansion?" Changqing thought of those few words in her dream again.

"No."

Changqing was immediately angry and asked: "Then why did he abandon our mother and son?!"

Ying Jun looked away and said calmly: "Chang'an was not peaceful at that time, so I had no choice but to send you away."

Chang Qing sat on the ground, covering her face with her forehead, feeling upset. Miao Yu glanced at him, then looked at Ying Jun with a hint of sarcasm.

As for Chu Wanjun, she wanted to step forward to comfort Chang Qing, but she didn't know what to say.

"So, it was his arrangement for the senior to teach swordsmanship?" After a while, Chang Qing finally regained his composure.

"This is my own plan and has nothing to do with Lu Yan." Ying Jun did not look apologetic.

Changqing frowned and thought for a long time, then asked: "The Immortal just mentioned that the weather in Chang'an has changed. Could it be related to Taotie?"

"Wouldn't you know if you took a look for yourself?" Miaoyu did not answer directly.

"What happened in Chang'an?" Changqing looked at Yingjun.

"When I left, Chang'an was no different." Ying Jun thought briefly: "I left a sword energy in the Prime Minister's Mansion, untouched, maybe there are other circumstances."

Changqing tightened her bun again, quickly got up and went outside the house, cupped her hands towards Jiao Jingzhen and said, "I heard that fellow Taoist Jiao had eaten the beast before. Could it be that you also know about the gluttonous thing?"

Jiao Jingzhen put her hand on the stringless harp and plucked it gently. The sound of the harp soothed her heart and explained: "My Shangqing lineage is indeed old with Fu Shifeng's. We have been in close contact with each other since Wang Yuanzhi, the master. Not long ago, Nanyue A fierce battle broke out in Hengshan, and the family's masters also raided the formation."

"Is Cheng Sanwu's current situation good or bad?" Chang Qing asked hurriedly.

"I don't know either, but I did hear that he was going to Chang'an." Jiao Jingzhen said.

Changqing was so anxious that he was circling back and forth. He learned so many secrets and important things at once, which made it difficult for him to prioritize. He had to say: "I want to go back to Wuling Village first and tell Miss Afu about this. If she gets Knowing Cheng Sanwu, it is impossible to do nothing." Jiao Jingzhen took out a jade pendant and handed it to Changqing: "Fellow Taoist is going to Chang'an. I think I will meet my senior brother Li Hanguang. He will know what is going on when he sees this thing. If fellow Taoist is in trouble, go up The Qingdao disciples will help."

Changqing was shocked when he heard this, and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no! I took the liberty to come to Tiantai Mountain, got help from Grandmaster Baiyunzi, and saw the miracle of ascending to the immortal world. I should repay you, so how can I accept this great gift?"

Jiao Jingzhen said: "This is exactly what my master arranged. Fellow Taoist, please don't refuse."

Changqing carefully took the jade pendant with the word "Dongzhen" engraved on it. He remembered what Bai Yunzi said on the Zhongmiao Platform and couldn't help but ask: "Fellow Daoist Jiao, why did Grandmaster Bai Yunzi arrange this? What virtue and ability do I have? Favored by the Grandmaster?"

"I'm an outsider, so I can't say more. I ask my Taoist friends to confirm it for themselves." Jiao Jingzhen stood up with Qin in her arms, gave a gentle salute, turned around and left without any hesitation.

Changqing looked at the jade pendant in his hand, with so many thoughts in his mind that it was difficult to sort them out for a while. He could only put the jade pendant away and said to the other three people: "I am going back to Wuling Village in Huzhou, you guys..."

"I will go with you, but I will not appear in front of the common people." After Miao Yu said this, his body turned into light, wrapped around Changqing's wrist, and turned into a bracelet.

Yingjun nodded and said, "I'll go too."

Chu Wanjun comforted her and said, "Since you are worried, it is better to leave as soon as possible without delay."

……

Changqing and his party did not stop in the middle of the journey, and rushed back to Wulingzhuang and headed to Langfeng Pavilion first. It was late at night, and as soon as they mentioned to the gatekeeper that they wanted to see Afu, they heard a secret voice in their ears:

"Come in directly, I have something important to tell you."

When Changqing came to a hall, in addition to Ah Fu, there was also Qin Wangshu in Xuanyi, and another middle-aged man. Changqing felt that he looked familiar. Both of them were tired and must be on their way. Many days.

She saw Afu sitting on the couch with a sad look on her face. She frowned slightly when she saw Yingjun. They looked at each other and immediately knew that the other person was an innate expert.

"This is Senior Yingjun, my mentor in swordsmanship." Changqing quickly introduced: "She... was sent by my father to take care of me."

"Prime Minister Lu?" Afu nodded when she saw Changqing, and then glanced at Yingjun again, seeming to understand something.

"So, do you also know about Cheng Sanwu and Chang'an?" Afu asked.

"I only heard that Cheng Sanwu fought fiercely at Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue..." Changqing looked at the middle-aged man.

Afu signaled: "This is Wu Lingshi sent by Prime Minister Lu's Mansion."

"Seventh Young Master, you must not remember that we passed each other in the Prime Minister's Mansion." Wu Lingshi took the initiative to stand up and salute.

Chang Qing could see that Wu Lingshi had great martial arts skills and was by no means mediocre. Such a person would only serve as a mere official in the Prime Minister's Palace, and would inevitably be overqualified and underutilized.

But then I thought about it, maybe the other party just joined the Prime Minister's Mansion to seek protection, just like Yingjun's senior swordsmanship, and even a maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion. This is obviously because he does not want to overly show his origins.

"I wonder what happened in Chang'an?" Changqing returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

"Some people with unknown origins set up a shady barrier to cover Taiji Palace, trapping the saint, all the princes, grandsons, and civil and military officials inside." Wu Lingshi said: "Before I set off, the barrier had been raised. In the next few days, Prime Minister Lu gathered all the masters of magic in the capital area, but no one could break the barrier."

"Even saints are trapped in it?" Changqing has almost become accustomed to these extreme variables.

"Xiang Lu said that he hopes that the Seventh Young Master and Master Daguan will go to Chang'an to help break the barrier." Wu Lingshi said: "We still have to go to Chang'an to understand the specific situation."

"I will pack up and prepare to set off later." Chang Qing said: "But Master has returned to Songyue Fu Zang Palace..."

Before Chang Qing could finish speaking, Wu Lingshi spoke first: "In that case, the Seventh Young Master, please go straight to Chang'an, and I will go to Songyue to convey the message on your behalf."

"That's fine too."

Wu Lingshi turned to Afu and said: "Currently, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is temporarily controlled by Lord Yan Feng, who is closely cooperating with Prime Minister Lu. I would also like to ask Lord Shang Zhang to go to Chang'an with you."

"I understand." Afu waved his hand.

"Then I'll take the first step." Wu Lingshi left the hall, and after taking a few steps, he jumped up, and his figure disappeared into the darkness in an instant. His lightness skills were extremely high, comparable to flying. No wonder he was asked to deliver the message.

"She also knows about Fu Shifeng?" Afu looked at Yingjun.

Changqing said helplessly: "My father... was once a member of Fu Shifeng."

Afu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed a few times: "Haha! Such a thing actually exists? So... I understand, when Cheng Sanwu committed the Heyang murder and fled westward, the reason why he did not meet with When a conflict broke out between the imperial troops and horses, it was Prime Minister Lu who cooperated with the court so that he could escape to the Western Regions smoothly."

Chang Qing didn't know what to say. Now he finally understood why Master Wen came to find him. It turned out that he had been living under the shadow of Fu Shifeng from the beginning. It was not just a coincidence.

It was as if her life had been arranged by others. This feeling gave Changqing a sense of powerlessness. The shackles she vowed to break away from came full circle, and finally came back.

But now Lu Yan has become more and more vague and unpredictable in Chang Qing's mind. After all, he doesn't even know his mother's origins, so what can he say?

Afu gathered her thoughts and was about to speak when the bracelet on Changqing's wrist suddenly glowed brightly, and Miaoyu appeared, shocking everyone present again.

"This..." Afu's eyes did not converge at all, and she was sure it was this Taoist immortal family. Naturally, she saw his extraordinary qualities, and then said to Changqing: "If I guessed correctly, this is the reason for your trip to Tiantai Mountain. ?”

"Yes." Changqing really didn't know what to say.

Miaoyu also looked at Afu and said, "Interesting."

A Fu did not confront Miao Yu tit for tat, but just said to Chang Qing: "I was wrong before. You little kid is really trying to attract women. Cheng Sanwu and I were just wasting our efforts."

"Don't talk about this yet." Changqing shook his head quickly: "Is the person who raised the barrier in Chang'an really Cheng Sanwu?"

Ying Jun said: "It is Cheng Sanwu or Taotie, who is still in the undecided world."

"Cheng Sanwu's breakthrough to the innate realm is different from ordinary people. Maybe something went wrong." Afu felt troubled and looked to Qin Wangshu aside: "Are you sure Cheng Sanwu didn't become a glutton?"

"I followed him all the way to Hengshan, and I didn't find that he wantonly infected ordinary people like before." Qin Wangshu explained: "But I did see that Cheng Sanwu's temperament was different from the past. He should have done what he did to himself. For those with clear arrangements.”

"No matter what, I have to go to Chang'an first to see what's going on." Afu stood up and said to Changqing: "I can leave at any time, but you, it will be a lot of trouble to go, and I am afraid that you will miss Liu Niang's delivery. If you have time, go and accompany her."

Changqing was touched in her heart and nodded in agreement.
