Chapter 445: Returning to the west to inherit the fruit, going to the east to change the cause
"After that, we have to get rid of fellow Taoists. We were originally entrusted by our junior brother to suppress the evil spirits in the river, but now both Qiu Yuzi and Pindao have to leave. If no one is here to take charge, if anything happens, don't worry.
I told my junior brother that we will also fall into disaster along this river..."
On the bank of the river, in front of the Hejun Temple, Nan Mingzi took back the white jade and saluted a Taoist priest in black clothes.
The Taoist's expression was indifferent and he only said: "Since I owe you a favor, I naturally have to return it to you. Besides, the spiritual energy of this river is becoming more and more abundant. You may be able to gain something by meditating and retreating next to it. However, this time you return to charity.
Bad luck is not good luck, have you really made a decision? Remember, immortality is not easy."
"Immortality came from Taihua. If there were no disciples, how could we be here today? You know that it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and even the poor will go there!" Nan Mingzi laughed, "What's more, my little junior brother is amazingly talented and beautiful, as long as others can do it as well.
Now, no matter what happens to Taihua, there will always be a day when it will rise again."
Say it, he turned around and walked away. The ground under his feet suddenly twisted and shrunk to an inch. He took a hundred miles in one step and disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.
Looking at his retreating figure, the Taoist in Moyi counted his fingers and shook his head.
"It is foolish to put the sect above the great road! What's more, the sect has been passed down for thousands of years. If it fails, it will be separated. How can it be revived because of one person? Taihua's destiny has long declined, and it is difficult to reverse it with manpower. Why be so persistent...
"
"Fourth senior brother advised me not to go to the mountain gate yet. He and other senior brothers have other plans..."
Putting down Bai Yu, Chen Cuo became more and more sure of his guess.
"Senior Brother Nan Mingzi has also noticed it. In many deductions, once the fourth senior brother leaves for the mountain, it means that the chaos in Taihua has reached its peak! From this point of view, this incident in Taihua Mountain should be compared with Changhe
It's almost the same in the deduction, but it's so early in advance that the plan can't keep up with the changes! In this case, it's time to use the second set of plans."
He stood up slowly and walked around the room, weighing and thinking.
"As the saying goes, prepare for a rainy day, nip in the bud, and deal with it in advance. If I go there rashly, I will fall into his plan, so I have to jump out and open up a second battlefield! It can't be that I, Taihua Mountain, are unlucky, right?"
After thinking about it, he stopped.
"After several deductions, each has its own pros and cons, but it is not difficult to see that the key to our Taihua Mountain disaster is not the level of cultivation of the disciples in our sect, but whether the master will be plotted against him! The master's cultivation is unpredictable.
With my current magical powers, I can't see through, cannot understand, or can't figure it out. As long as the master is still here, Taihua Mountain will have the Pillar of Optimism. Otherwise, it will be a situation of destruction! The goal of this second battlefield, since
It’s the one who plotted the plot!”
After thinking about this, he turned his head and looked towards the backyard.
"There are currently two guesses. One is, of course, the Yinsi. Judging from the performance of the Zhou soldiers in the deduction, the Emperor of Zhou must have received the help of the Yinsi; as for the second one, it is the outsider.
The master! And He took action at this moment, mobilizing people from Northern Qi to go to Mount Tai, and secretly deduced the prelude, so it’s time to start from this aspect..."
The capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, outside Yecheng.
A dusty carriage and horses were arriving, and on the roads and woods around the carriage, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at the team, either explicitly or covertly.
There is no other reason. There are three clans in this team, and the one with the highest status is the city king Gao Mi.
However, the person in charge of this fleet at the moment is Gao Maode, the eldest son of King Feng Yi.
Gao Maode rode in front, looking at the city in the distance. He could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. He was going back and forth all the way, which was really confusing. Not only was he physically and mentally exhausted, but his heartstrings were always tense.
Because there was an evil star sitting in this motorcade, and because he encountered too many strange phenomena and accidents along the way, it really made him tired.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly walked over quickly and said something to Gao Maode's side.
Gao Maode was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly. With a wave of his hand, the cavalry stopped.
He got off his horse and walked straight to the middle of the motorcade. He asked through the curtain, "Yecheng is so close in front of you. Why does Chen Jun want to go to Qilu again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure in white cloth opened the curtain and walked down directly.
"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to wait for me to accompany you this time. You're going alone. As for the many previous agreements, they are naturally fulfilled, but you have to wait for my return."
This man's appearance was the same as that of Chen Cuo, but his complexion was dark and his body was thin. There were a few tears in his coarse cloth, his trouser legs were still rolled up, and he had a pair of straw sandals on his feet.
At first glance, it looks like an old farmer who has just returned from working in the fields.
In the noble caravan, such a figure actually came out, which made the people watching around him stunned.
But when they investigated carefully, they noticed that although this man's clothes were ordinary, almost commoner, his demeanor was ethereal, as if he was a phoenix who deliberately stained himself, unable to cover up his demeanor!
Immediately, they all guessed the identity of this person, and immediately separated many people and went to report everywhere.
This man in white is naturally the white lotus incarnation of Chen Cuo. Under the banner of the Gao family, he traveled throughout the Northern Qi Dynasty, seeing folk scenes along the way and gathering his understanding of humanity.
The strange traveling path of their group had long since attracted the attention of the Northern Qi court. They soon discovered the problem and sent many martial arts masters and even Taoist monks over to investigate and rescue them. However, they were either captured or dismissed.
Coupled with the changes in power in the DPRK, over time, the Northern Qi court turned a blind eye.
There is this strange balance between the two sides.
However, as the carriage and horse carrying the incarnation of Bai Lian got closer and closer to the capital of Northern Qi, people inside and outside the court became more and more anxious to let such an unpredictable and complicated figure enter Yecheng, no matter what the name was.
People who have ideas will inevitably find themselves in trouble.
Therefore, as early as two days ago, the Yecheng garrison deployed 10,000 soldiers and horses to station outside the city. It was surprising that they had to prepare for a single person!
When the carriage moved forward again, Gao Maode led a group of people to the outskirts of Yecheng. Before he saw the soldiers and horses, with his martial arts cultivation, he could already feel the rich energy and blood generated by the brave gathering of soldiers!
When the leading general came over and saw Gao Maode, he bowed his hands and saluted, and was about to test him with words, but was interrupted by the King of Ren City.
"This set of things is for nothing!" Gao Mi's expression regained a bit of grace, but there was no trace of his former arrogance. "Then Chen Fangqing has left."
"What?" The general's expression changed, and then he thought of something and was about to speak.
Gao Maode already said: "Don't worry, that person is still there."
"That's good, that's good..."
After this news was spread, a chamberlain soon came over and invited the two clan members into the palace. It was Gao Wei, the Emperor of Qi who was neglectful of government affairs, who wanted to see them.
When they arrived at the Imperial Study Room and paid their respects to the emperor, they noticed that there were two Taoist priests with immortal styles standing on the left and right in the room.
Gao Min recognized one of them and knew that he was an elder of Fude Sect, but the other one was a stranger.
Gao Wei did not introduce them to the two of them, and said straight to the point: "I have heard a long time ago that Chen Fangqing was called the Dream Immortal in the Southern Dynasties, and he was a man among the gods. But someone came to report just now, saying that he looks like an old farmer. You guys
After walking with him for a long time, you might as well tell me whether the real person is a real immortal or a fake immortal?"
Gao Mi and Gao Maode looked at each other.
When Gao Wei saw it, he looked impatient and said, "Say it quickly!"
Gao Maode said: "Whether this person is a true immortal or not, I can't really tell because I have little talent and little knowledge, but when it comes to his ability, he is indeed extremely powerful. On this journey, no matter whether it is the land of mountain gods or the demon monks, he is no match for him...
…”
"Oh? So powerful!" Gao Wei's eyes lit up, "In that case, if I can recruit him..."
"His Majesty!"
The elder of the Fude Sect suddenly interrupted: "The Taihua Mountain where Chen Fangqing was born is one of the eight sects of our Taoist sect. He is really guilty of hijacking the clan and interfering in the affairs of the dynasty. His arrogant behavior is nothing more than
Relying on the prestige of his sect and magical weapons, as well as the monks of this ordinary sect, how can there be anyone with immortality? This makes him appear powerful. Now, as soon as he arrived in Yecheng, he left in a hurry. He must have noticed that I was waiting here.
Thus showing cowardice."
Gao Wei nodded and said with a smile: "I see. In this way, the immortals are still more powerful, so naturally I will not sacrifice the near for the far. But this Chen Fangqing is so arrogant and hijacks the royal family. This is a slap in my face.
Why don’t the Immortal Chief capture him and punish him severely?”
As soon as he said this, everyone was startled. They didn't expect that this emperor would recruit people in front of him, and would arrest him when he turned his back. He would fall out of favor faster than turning over a book. Facing the affairs of the Immortal Family, it was like child's play.
That's not all, Gao Wei asked Gao Maode again: "He left in such a hurry, can you tell where he fled to?"
Gao Maode hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, Chen Fangqing said that he has something to do and has to go to Qilu first. Will he come back after the matter is finished?"
"He goes to Qilu?"
The unfamiliar Taoist suddenly spoke, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Not good! Could it be that Chen Fangqing noticed something and actually transformed this Tao and sent it to Mount Tai to ruin... His Majesty's affairs!"
"What?" When Gao Wei heard this, his eyes were filled with mist. He immediately jumped up and said with murderous intent on his face: "This Mount Tai sacrifice is the key to reversing the fate of my country. I got it from several immortals with great difficulty.
There is absolutely no room for error in the method of knowing!”
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the two Taoists and said in a deep voice: "Two immortal elders, please quickly gather your disciples and bring back Chen Fangqing to me!"
The two Taoists had different expressions when they heard this.
The elder of the Fude Sect frowned and was about to speak.
Another Taoist has already rushed to say: "Then Chen Fangqing still has some skills. He is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Please give the poor Taoist a few drops of dragon's blood to refine the seal. In this way, we will
When Chen Fangqing captures it, it's like picking something out of a bag!"
