Fu Shifeng

Chapter 338 The Emperor of the World

Master Daguan looked back at Changqing and sighed helplessly: "Maybe I shouldn't have let you go down the mountain back then."

"Why should master blame himself?" Chang Qing said with relief: "Back then, my disciples also wanted to apply what they had learned. If they had stayed in the Terma Palace all the time, they would not have achieved what they have today."

"It's better than being in trouble in the future." Master Daguan looked at Miaoyu and bowed deeply to her: "In the future, Changqing will be entrusted to the care of immortals."

Miao Yu seemed to have seen through the future destiny of Daguan Zhenzhen at a glance, and did not rely on his identity as an upper-level immortal: "I will do it, don't worry."

Changqing put on her clothes, took a deep breath, opened the door and walked out, and saw that the originally empty courtyard was almost full of people.

In addition to Lu Yan, Wen Fuzi and others who he was very familiar with, there were also Ren Fengxing, Yinlong Sanlao, and some other strangers. They were all dressed in purple and were obviously ministers of the court. There is also a group of armored soldiers on the outermost periphery. They are tall and majestic. They should be the strong troops from the border town who have been fighting on expeditions all year round, not the Nanya Forbidden Army with weak armaments.

"What happened?" Changqing forced to suppress his inner uneasiness. He didn't understand. Could it be that the mistake he committed was really that serious?

Lu Yan took two steps forward and spoke loudly: "The world is in chaos, monsters are causing trouble, saints have died, and all members of the royal family have died. The country cannot live without a king for a day. Please, Your Majesty, inherit the great rule and rectify the country!"

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers in the rear shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please inherit the rule and rectify the country!"

The shouts of the soldiers in the courtyard spread to the outside world, like fire igniting dry wood, which immediately caused raging flames. Hundreds of soldiers and people also shouted: "Please inherit the rule and rectify the country!!"

When Changqing heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He turned around and looked around blankly. He found that everyone's eyes were focused on him, which made him confused for a moment. He suddenly retreated into the house and quickly closed the door.

"Master, did they make a mistake?" Chang Qing's face was full of surprise.

Master Daguan asked him to sit down and shook his head gently: "There are some things that I have not mentioned in the past, and now it's time to confess..."

"No! I don't want to hear it!" Changqing quickly covered her ears and sat on the edge of the bed, her fingers clasped in her hair, her heart pounding.

"You have actually guessed it a long time ago, right?" Master Daguan raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "With your intelligence, you can figure it out with just a few clues and a little deduction. It's because you don't want to face it, and would rather maintain it status quo."

Chang Qing was always obedient and docile when facing his teachers, but this time he rarely shook his shoulders and shook off Master Da Guan's hand.

"Master, I want to be quiet for a while."

Master Daguan was slightly startled, but nodded slightly, said nothing, and left quietly.

Miaoyu was actually still in the room, but she didn't say anything, and just looked at Changqing, who looked troubled, tangled, and suffering.

A moment after Master Daguan left, two more people entered the room, and they were none other than Lu Yan and Ying Jun.

When Chang Qing saw Lu Yan, he felt inexplicably angry. He pulled out the jade-handled windlass sword on the bedside and stood up to stab him.

With a resounding sound, Ying Jun took action in time, folded his fingers and flicked away the sword edge, blocking Lu Yan.

"Let him stab!"

Lu Yan said coldly: "If he wants to get angry, let him get angry; if he wants to act like a child, let him act like a kid!"

Hearing this, both Changqing and Yingjun looked shocked, while Miaoyu raised her green eyebrows slightly, seemingly a little surprised.

Lu Yan signaled Mr. Ying to get out of the way and faced Chang Qing. He still remained serious and stern as before: "You are not a mediocre person, as you must already know. That's right, you are not my son. You are the son of a saint. When your mother died, Huai Liujia is temporarily entrusted to my home for care."

"Why...why..." Changqing looked crazy and spoke incoherently.

"If you are asking why I want you to be my son, the reason couldn't be simpler. This can save you and me from a big disaster." Lu Yan stood up straight, not showing any sign of old age and illness: "As for why I need to confess this now? That's because the country has reached a critical point, and only by establishing a new king as soon as possible can we stabilize the forces that are about to move, and only then can we have justice in hand when dealing with the rebels!"

Lu Yan's words were sonorous and powerful, which made Chang Qing unable to resist. He had to put his sword on the ground to barely stand still. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Who do you think I am from the beginning to the end?"

"A useful person, no matter what your last name is." Lu Yan did not hesitate at all, and could even be called ruthless: "You should know my style. People who are useless to me usually will not end well."

Chang Qing felt like his heart was being stabbed hard by a sharp cone. From the time he could remember, perhaps only the death of his mother could make him so sad.

"No, no..." Changqing shook his head vigorously: "You are mistaken. I am Changqing, a disciple of Fu Zang Palace. I am Tang Zijin. My surname is neither Lu nor Li!"

"You want to escape?" Lu Yan sneered: "Okay, you can run away, I won't stop you. Anyway, I don't have other royal family members at hand. It's better to support a baby to be the emperor than an incompetent coward who prides himself on himself." Those who are noble must be strong.”

Changqing's teeth chattered and she walked towards the door step by step. Yingjun wanted to stop him and quickly looked at Lu Yan.

"At that time, it will be nothing more than the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family." Lu Yan said: "The Youzhou rebels are so powerful that they will soon conquer Cloyang. If there is still no one in the Chang'an court to take charge of the overall situation, even if there are dangerous mountains and rivers, they will not be able to stop the rebels. Bingfeng.

"If there is a change of dynasty and your identity becomes known, the new dynasty will definitely not be able to tolerate you. Even if you escape and live an ordinary life in Huzhou, you will be surrounded by countless wolves, tigers and leopards, and there will never be peace."

Changqing's breathing gradually became faster, and Lu Yan continued: "I heard that your wife is pregnant. Counting the time, she will give birth soon, right? Do you hope that your children will always be on the road to escape in the future? Is it really that time? , what will happen to the people you care about and love? Or do you rely on the protection of this immortal family in the upper world for everything?"

Miao Yu had always been polite to others, but when she heard Lu Yan's words, she looked optimistic and did not interrupt to refute.

"Are you threatening me?" Changqing turned to look at Lu Yan, like a bereaved dog, with no trace of its former glory.

"This is just an ordinary deduction." Lu Yan said with a stern expression: "Even if you really ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, the result may not be better. Maybe the war situation will be anxious, the world will be corrupted, and the Central Plains Kyushu will be like today's Tai Chi Palace."

Hearing this, Chang Qing's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly remembered what he had just seen in his dream and could not say anything to refute Lu Yan.

"Leave or stay, it's up to you. Anyway, no one can stop you now." Lu Yan fluttered his sleeves and left. The sound of the door closing was like thunder, making Chang Qing lose all his strength, and the jade-handled pulley sword fell to the ground. Changqing huddled in the corner and shivered. He was extremely scared at the moment and did not find any temptation in the throne that fell from the sky. His inner thoughts were chaotic and disorderly, and the energy in his body was flowing randomly.

Seeing this, Miao Yu's long skirt trailed to the ground, she floated forward, stretched out her hand and stabilized the Qi in Chang Qing's body.

"Shangxian, you have known this for a long time, right?" Changqing couldn't stop tears from flowing out of his eyes.

"From the first moment I saw you, I sensed your origin." Miaoyu sat with her skirt rolled up, holding Changqing on her lap, letting her tears wet her clothes and caressing him gently. With his hair on his temples, he said softly: "If you really want to escape Chang'an, I can help you. Then find a paradise in the cave, take your family there, and never touch the world again. No matter how scorched the earth is outside, you can Get through it in peace.”

Changqing did have this idea in his heart. He did not feel that he could take on such an important task, let alone the emperor who rebelled and caused chaos in the world. In the final analysis, he is just a junior who has made some achievements in Taoism.

Run away. If you run away, you may still have some peace and quiet. Since ancient times, haven't practitioners of Taoism always taken refuge in caves in deep mountains to avoid disasters and disasters when encountering chaos in the world?

But whenever he thought about the situation in Tai Chi Palace, he couldn't convince himself to escape from it all. If Cheng Sanwu really wants to restart the Great Desolate World, then even if he escapes to the Paradise of Cave Heaven, he may not be able to live in peace for a long time. The great calamity is approaching, and there is no real comfort in this world.

But what if he really complies with everyone's thoughts and becomes emperor? If he made a mistake or was short-sighted and incompetent, causing the death of more people, the self-blame and guilt would almost suffocate him.

Only now did Chang Qing understand how cowardly he was. Without Cheng Sanwu and Afu to shield him from the wind and rain and give him advice, he didn't even dare to make a choice when faced with difficult problems. He could only huddle up and tremble.

At this time, the door was pushed open a crack. Master Wen peeked out his head furtively and saw Changqing crying on Miaoyu's lap. He asked with some embarrassment, "Did I come at the wrong time?"

Changqing quickly stood up and wiped away her tears, shook her head and said, "Senior will laugh."

"It's really funny. I haven't seen you cry before." Master Wen slipped in through the crack in the door, his movements were as funny as a thief.

"Exalted Immortal, can you allow me to talk to Changqing alone?" Master Wen bowed to Miaoyu with an apologetic smile on his face.

"In the final analysis, you people are just using him as a pawn." Miaoyu sneered, turned into light and escaped out of the house.

Master Wen scratched his head, closed the door, then took out a pill jade from his arms, picked up the paperweight on the desk and smashed it into pieces, and a sound-isolating barrier enveloped the room.

Seeing this, Chang Qing said: "If you want to isolate the sound, I can do it without having to worry about it, senior."

"I know you are powerful, but I am a useless person now, so I have no choice but to do this." Master Wen smiled and asked, "Do you want to save Cheng Sanwu?"

Chang Qing was stunned for a moment. He never imagined that Master Wen was not advising him on the prosperity of the world and the survival of the people, but directly mentioned Cheng Sanwu.

"I really don't understand what senior means by this," Chang Qing said.

"It's hard for others to tell, but you should be able to tell." Master Wen twirled his beard: "The shady barrier outside Tai Chi Palace was deliberately set up by Cheng Sanwu. This matter has nothing to do with Taotie from beginning to end. I suspect that he just wants to cause turmoil and let the world's elite gather in Chang'an."

Changqing was puzzled: "What is his purpose in doing this?"

"I can't say for sure." Master Wen muttered: "Now the rebels in Youzhou are so powerful. If it weren't for the Taiji Palace incident, the experts from all walks of life would take the initiative to defect to the rebels if they saw that the situation in the world has changed. The power of the dragon. Now that I have come to Chang'an and participated in breaking the shady barrier, no matter whether I have any merit or not, it is not easy to go and join the rebels."

Chang Qing said: "When Cheng Sanwu was in Hengshan, didn't he declare that he would break the Kowloon ban and start a new era? Could it be that he instigated the current rebellion?"

"Not necessarily." Master Wen sighed: "It would be better to say that this rebellion will break out sooner or later, and the barrier of Taiji Palace is just an opportunity."

Changqing remained silent. He had walked all the way and knew that Daxia was full of flowers on the surface, but in fact it had many disadvantages. The government collapsed, the land was annexed, and refugees were everywhere. Many powerful people were becoming more and more extravagant and demanding. In addition, the saints were so happy that they had great achievements. The conquests continued, giving the border town Jiedu great authority, creating a situation of strong branches and weak trunks. It can be said that the cause of the rebellion has been laid for a long time.

"Now that the root of the disaster has been accomplished, it is better to trigger unrest as soon as possible and carry out a complete annihilation of the sand. While cleaning up the country and wiping out the rebels, it will also be convenient to rectify many long-standing abuses in the past." Master Wen laughed, feeling a little lonely:

"Anyway, almost all the people who are most likely to hinder this rectification are dead in Taiji Palace. The Chang'an court is leaderless, so it is the best time to take action... This kind of approach of overturning the chess game with just one disagreement is indeed like Cheng Sanwu’s handwriting.”

Chang Qing asked: "Based on this, Cheng Sanwu doesn't really want to return the world to the ancient times?"

Master Wen thought for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I'm not completely sure. It's better to say that this is more like a test. If we can't survive it, he may really let the ancient world come back to the world."

"Test?" Chang Qing thought of Cheng Sanwu's sudden appearance before, and the meaning of his words was unclear, as if he was treating himself as a selfless disaster like a flood or earthquake.

And considering Cheng Sanwu's current strength, if he really wanted to kill someone, no one in the world could stop him. Maybe the theory of test can roughly explain it.

"Cheng Sanwu's current situation is similar to mine before. He has also transformed his destiny into the power of a flying dragon in the sky, advancing without retreating." Master Wen said: "What he has vowed to do cannot be reversed in the slightest. . Moreover, Taiyi Ling has joined the body, carrying the energy of heaven and earth, and every move is equivalent to the catastrophe of heaven and earth, testing all living beings in the world. Now Cheng Sanwu has trapped himself, so I said I want to save him."

"Since it is a test, how should we deal with it?" Changqing asked.

"The easiest way is of course to defeat Cheng Sanwu. After all, he is still an elusive person and is not the real world." Master Wen shrugged his shoulders.

Chang Qing looked troubled: "Senior, is there any master today who can fight against Cheng Sanwu without falling behind?"

"Indeed not." Master Wen chuckled: "But since it is a catastrophe of heaven and earth, it does not mean that one person has to challenge Cheng Sanwu alone. It is only right to gather the power of the world to compete with him."

Hearing this, Changqing blurted out: "Huangji Tianguang Formation!"

"The understanding is good." Master Wen looked at Changqing with bright eyes: "Now that Chang'an has gathered all the experts from all over the world, the only thing missing is a human emperor who is expected by everyone to lead the formation."
