Chapter 131 Cheng Lidongs threat, the crisis of strange magic, and troubles one after another
Come
The inner courtyard of the school.
Xu Qingxiao and Cheng Lidong stood facing each other.
Neither of them spoke and seemed a little quiet.
Xu Qingxiao was very patient. He didn't open his mouth to see what Cheng Lidong was looking for this time.
What I have to say is that this guy Cheng Lidong is really lingering. I thought this guy had gone offline a few days ago.
But what I didn't expect was that this guy was still alive, and had been reborn and promoted to the seventh level.
"Master Xu, I really envy Cheng with such a beautiful scene now."
Finally Cheng Lidong's voice sounded, he looked at Xu Qingxiao and smiled.
"There is no need to say polite words. What is Mr. Cheng looking for Xu for?"
Xu Qingxiao spoke up and asked him directly what the purpose of coming here was.
"It's nothing serious. Mr. Xu, I came here today to tell you two things. I hope you can be careful."
Cheng Lidong opened his mouth and said.
"Oh? I hope Mr. Cheng will remind you more."
Xu Qingxiao was a little curious.
"The first thing is that someone has started to investigate your practice of strange arts. This matter has nothing to do with me, but I believe that it won't be long before the Ministry of Punishment will receive the file. By then, it may be a big deal for Mr. Xu.
It’s troublesome, but Sir, don’t panic.”
"Cheng is the key witness in this matter. As long as Cheng does not show up, we can guarantee that Mr. Xu is safe. After all, the Ministry of Punishment will still favor Mr. Xu to some extent. Even if there is a big shot who wants to make a fuss, Cheng
I also believe that Mr. Xu can also turn danger into safety."
This was the first thing Cheng Lidong said, making Xu Qingxiao be wary.
However, Xu Qingxiao didn't change her color at all, but appeared calmer.
If Cheng Lidong didn't say anything and just left, Xu Qingxiao would be a little panicked.
But when he said this, Xu Qingxiao didn't panic at all, because he could see that Cheng Lidong still wanted to cooperate with him.
The meaning expressed in these words is not just to say that I have practiced strange arts. I, Cheng Lidong, know that someone is investigating you now. I won’t say who it is. Anyway, you have many enemies, but don’t worry.
As long as I don't come forward, this matter won't cause trouble. Of course, if you want me not to come forward, it's not impossible. Cooperate with me. You are the best in white, and I am the greatest in black. Let's make it bigger and stronger, and create greater glory.
Xu Qingxiao was very clear about Cheng Lidong's remarks.
"What about the second thing?"
Xu Qingxiao continued to ask.
Seeing Xu Qingxiao's expressionless face, Cheng Lidong didn't have any other expression, but said.
"The second thing is simpler. Cheng heard that someone has offered a reward for Mr. Xu's life."
Cheng Lidong spoke, and Xu Qingxiao fell silent for a moment.
At this time, Cheng Lidong did not speak, but quietly waited for Xu Qingxiao's answer.
If Xu Qingxiao doesn't care about the first thing, it doesn't matter, because Xu Qingxiao understands what she means, but this second thing is different.
"How much is the bid?"
After a while, Xu Qingxiao asked calmly.
As soon as he said this, Cheng Lidong was stunned for a moment.
ha?
How much is the offer? I'm telling you, someone wants to kill you, but you ask me how much they offer? Are you sick?
Cheng Lidong was stunned again. He realized that no matter when, no matter what changes he had, no matter what position Xu Qingxiao held, there was something wrong with this guy.
Can we still have a serious chat?
Seeing that Cheng Lidong didn't speak, Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but guess.
"One hundred thousand taels?"
"Two hundred thousand?"
"Or half a million?"
Xu Qingxiao kept guessing. He wanted to know what price the other party offered. If the amount was really large, he would have to be careful. If the amount was not large, he would have to discuss it with them.
"enough."
"Master Xu, are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be confused?"
"Cheng came to see Mr. Xu today. What does Mr. Xu mean? Doesn't Mr. Xu know?"
Cheng Lidong didn't want to chat with Xu Qingxiao here, he wanted to accomplish his goal.
"I'm serious, how much do you want to bid?"
Xu Qingxiao looked serious as she gave this answer.
"I don't know, but it won't be very few."
Cheng Lidong saw Xu Qingxiao being so serious and couldn't help but frown slightly and gave an explanation.
"Who wants to kill me?"
Xu Qingxiao continued to ask.
"demon."
Cheng Lidong didn't hold back and spoke directly.
"demon?"
This answer surprised Xu Qingxiao. To be honest, he thought it was someone like the vassal king or King Huaining.
I didn’t expect it to be a demon?
"Why do they want to kill me?" Xu Qingxiao really couldn't understand. Why did the demon come to kill me?
But as soon as he said this, Cheng Lidong's eyes couldn't help but look weird, and he looked at Xu Qingxiao. For a moment, he didn't know whether Xu Qingxiao was real or fake.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. Mr. Cheng, when did you become like this?"
Xu Qingxiao was a little angry.
"Do you need any reason for the demon to kill you? Master Xu, you have only been in school for four months and you have already declared yourself to be the Great Wei Zhengru."
"Although the following realms are one-level and one-level, no matter how bad you are, you can still become a great Confucian, right? To say it is not a compliment, the world will not be too surprised if you become a great Confucian."
"Tell me, do these monsters want to cause trouble for you? Do they want to kill you?"
Cheng Lidong's words made Xu Qingxiao understand why he looked like this.
Yes, I upgraded my Confucianism and Taoism too quickly. There are demons in this world, and Confucianism and Taoism are inherently capable of restraining demons.
In this case, these demons are also afraid that they will become great scholars in the world, or even become saints. After all, they invited the Holy Will a few days ago.
These demons have tasted what it's like to be a saint, so they definitely don't want to see themselves become saints.
No matter how difficult it is to become a saint, I don't dare to gamble, because if I lose the bet, the whole demon will be finished.
"They were afraid of my righteousness and didn't dare to take action, so they asked someone to kill me, right?"
Xu Qingxiao continued to ask.
"Half and half."
"Although Mr. Xu is a sixth-grade Confucian, he is not unstoppable to demons. After all, the demon clan will cultivate beings who specialize in killing strong Confucianists and Taoists."
"The reason why I didn't come to trouble Mr. Xu is because the Great Wei Wen Palace is in Kyoto, and these monsters don't dare to approach. Once they do, they will die without a burial place."
"But, if Mr. Xu steps out of Kyoto, it will be difficult to say."
Cheng Lidong replied and patiently explained to Xu Qingxiao.
Ordinary monsters naturally dare not come within a hundred feet of Xu Qingxiao, but some big monsters are really not afraid of a sixth-grade scholar.
It is true that Confucianism and Taoism can restrain demons innately. Generally speaking, they can suppress demons of the first grade. For example, demons of the sixth grade are not even considered ants in front of Xu Qingxiao.
But a fifth-grade demon can at least spar with Xu Qingxiao, and if it is a fourth-grade demon, Xu Qingxiao will die if he has no other means.
"Great Weiwen Palace?"
Xu Qingxiao didn't know that the Great Wei Wen Palace had such an effect, which was really surprising.
"Well, the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty is the residence of the fifth generation saint. It contains the holy will and suppresses the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty. Naturally, all evil will not invade."
"Master Xu, are you a Confucian scholar?"
"How does Mr. Cheng feel that Mr. Xu knows nothing about Confucianism and Taoism?"
Cheng Lidong really felt a little weird this time. Logically speaking, Xu Qingxiao is a Confucian scholar. Xu Qingxiao should know these things?
Why do you act like you don't know anything?
Are you a Confucian scholar, or am I a Confucian scholar?
"Forehead"
Facing Cheng Lidong's inquiry, Xu Qingxiao didn't know how to answer.
This issue is really tricky.
All in all, I still blame the guys from the Great Wei Wen Palace for provoking me for no reason. According to the normal rhythm, I ranked first in the examination, so I should have entered the Great Wei Wen Palace smoothly.
Then choose a college for retreat, so that you can understand many things.
But the problem is that he offended the great Wei Wengong, and there were not many scholars around him. All the information about studying was obtained by Xu Qingxiao himself from reading.
This is a bit annoying.
"Master Cheng, is there anything else?"
Xu Qingxiao opened his mouth and asked directly,
He already knows these two things. If there is nothing else, he will not send them.
"Master Xu, Mr. Cheng came here with good intentions. I believe Mr. Xu should know what happened to Mr. Cheng, right?"
Cheng Lidong spoke. He said so many things, but in the final analysis, it was still one thing.
The treasure left by Emperor Wu.
Especially now, he needs Emperor Wu's treasure even more, and he still wants to cooperate with Xu Qingxiao.
As long as Xu Qingxiao gives him a reason, he can join forces with Xu Qingxiao.
"I don't want to touch you. You should know who I am now."
Xu Qingxiao did not refuse directly, but explained the problem.
The Emperor Wu's treasure has been taken away by him, so what's the point of telling him? It's all in vain? Looking back, this guy feels that there is something wrong with him even more.
"Sir Xu, I know that your current status is not suitable for doing certain things."
"But I can do it!"
"Master Xu, Cheng is willing to be a knife in Master Xu's hand, a knife that cannot be seen in the light. Moreover, Master Xu, the demon has offered a reward to kill you."
"If I get what I want and study martial arts diligently, my strength will be greatly improved. If anyone dares to touch you, Cheng will be the first to refuse."
"Sir Xu, I know that now that you are in the imperial city, you are not only highly valued by His Majesty, but also favored by the six tribes. Even many princes and princes have a favorable impression of you."
"But Cheng has been an official for many years and knows some truths. If there are benefits, Mr. Xu will naturally rest easy. But if there are no benefits, they will not really help Mr. Xu."
"Master Xu, you have to think carefully."
Cheng Lidong's voice was not loud, but what he said was from the bottom of his heart. Of course, this was only temporary.
In the face of interests, he can become Xu Qingxiao's friend and help Xu Qingxiao unconditionally, but the premise is that Xu Qingxiao must also help him unconditionally.
But if one day, he really takes power and becomes stronger, then Xu Qingxiao will not be needed.
Of course, it doesn't have to be eliminated. The best result is that they become strangers.
Listening to Cheng Lidong's words, Xu Qingxiao looked calm. He had known who Cheng Lidong was for a long time.
This is an out-and-out obsessive man who is ambitious and extremely ambitious.
Such a person is indeed a double-edged sword. If used well, it can help him solve many things, but if used poorly, it will not only hurt himself.
It might cost you your life.
Seeing that Xu Qingxiao was silent, Cheng Lidong spoke again.
"Master Xu, I think you understand your current situation better. The Wen Palace of the Wei Dynasty, Prince Huaining, the vassal princes from all over the country, and the foreign tribes of Fanshang and demons in the world. Which one is not famous? Which one is not fierce?
monstrous?"
"And Cheng, to you, is an extremely sharp sword. Internally, King Huaining will never dare to take action no matter what. He will only send people to trouble you, and I can solve this trouble for you.
.”
"As for the vassal kings from all over the world, no matter how fierce they clamor, they will not break up easily. But Mr. Xu cannot guarantee that they will not be impulsive. With Cheng here, he will not be afraid of you."
"There are demons in the world. If Cheng gets what he wants, Mr. Xu will not leave Kyoto in the past two or three years. Your Majesty will not let Mr. Xu take the risk of leaving. After two or three years, Cheng will have the confidence to step into the royal family.
territory."
"When the time comes for you and me to cooperate civilly and militaryly, unless they are peerless demons, they will all be souls under the sword."
"Finally, there is the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty, a group of corrupt Confucian scholars. If Mr. Xu is willing, Cheng will dare to kill Confucians."
"Sir Xu, you should understand that Cheng has reached this point, right?"
Cheng Lidong's words reached this point, and he was already extremely humble. He still showed his kindness to Xu Qingxiao, and he even dared to say such treasonous words.
Kill Confucians.
This is no joke.
"Master Cheng, you are drunk."
Xu Qingxiao spoke, and with one sentence, he gave an answer.
In an instant, Cheng Lidong's eyes darkened.
He came to see Xu Qingxiao again and again. When Xu Qingxiao had a humble status, he was polite to her, but now that Xu Qingxiao is in a high position, he has also lowered his status.
Extremely humble.
What for?
It's all about cooperation.
But what I didn't expect was that Xu Qingxiao wouldn't give herself a chance, not even once.
Let out a long breath.
Cheng Lidong's voice sounded again.
"Master Xu, everyone's patience is limited."
"My patience is also limited."
"Are you really not afraid of death?"
"I forgot to tell Mr. Xu, I'm under Yan Ru's command these days, but don't worry, I didn't say anything about you."
When Cheng Lidong said this, his eyes became cold and his tone became threatening.
Of course, when he said death, he did not mean to take action, but to threaten himself by telling him about the strange technique and using it as a witness.
"It turned out that I went to follow Yan Ru. I wanted to ask why you suddenly appeared and why you dared to come to discuss with me."
"Master Cheng, if there is nothing else, Xu will not give it away."
Xu Qingxiao said that it was impossible for him to cooperate with Cheng Lidong.
Although what he said was indeed tempting, Xu Qingxiao understood that the person in front of her was a hungry wolf, a hungry wolf that was unfamiliar with food.
Now I feel like a snake to myself, but as long as I let him grow up, I will be the first to be fucked by him.
Of course, it is impossible not to be moved. Cheng Lidong is ambitious, smart, and good at doing things. He is an out-and-out villain. It would be quite comfortable to use this kind of person.
It can help you a lot, but if it’s not appropriate, it’s just not appropriate.
As for reporting yourself?
Does it mean that if you cooperate with him, you won't report yourself?
The matter of strange magic cannot affect me in a short period of time. The waterwheel matter has not been completely implemented yet. Even if His Majesty wants to chop off his head, even all the civil and military officials will know about it.
They won't kill themselves. At least they will wait until everyone's interests are agreed upon before discussing slowly.
And what if I follow Yan Ru?
What evidence does Yan Ru have to prove that he has practiced strange arts?
He, Cheng Lidong, had no evidence back then, and he has no evidence now. This is Xu Qingxiao's confidence. Without evidence, everything is too much.
If there is evidence, bring it out so that I can weigh it carefully.
You can't produce any evidence and you want to bluff me?
Xu Qingxiao is not a fool.
"good!"
"Master Xu, you really won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
"Then Cheng wants to see how long Mr. Xu can hold on."
Cheng Lidong has nothing to say. Xu Qingxiao refuses to give him a step. What does he have to say?
Uncooperative?
Then don't cooperate. He doesn't believe that Xu Qingxiao can really turn her hands into clouds and turn her hands into rain?
The matter of strange arts is strictly prohibited in the world. This kind of thing involves a lot of things. Think about it, if this kind of thing spreads about the dignified Wei Hubu Minister practicing strange arts, how will Xu Qingxiao solve it.
No matter that this has nothing to do with me anymore, because Xu Qingxiao will not drink wine as a penalty for toasting.
Cheng Lidong left.
Xu Qingxiao does what he says, and if he doesn’t give it away, he won’t give it away.
After Cheng Lidong left, Xu Qingxiao returned to the tea table. He quietly made himself a pot of tea. After the tea was fragrant, he said he was sleepy and went back to the room to sleep and rest.
Inside the room.
Xu Qingxiao was lying down with a lot of information floating in her mind.
He knew that Cheng Lidong dared to report him, especially since he knew that Cheng Lidong was working under Yan Ru.
Xu Qingxiao became even more convinced that she must not touch this Cheng Lidong, even if he had a falling out, even if he fell out, or even if he went to publicize his practice of magic right now.
Xu Qingxiao would not cooperate with him.
Didn't you tell Yan Ru?
Go ahead and lie to yourself, don't tell Yan Ru, he is just a headhunter, what qualifications does he have to follow Yan Ru? What qualifications does he have to be reborn? What qualifications do he have to enter the capital?
Yan Ru likes him? Does he treat him as his own three-year-old child?
Even if Cheng Lidong came to see him today, it was presumably arranged by Yan Ru.
The Confucian scholars in the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty were not good at studying, but they were definitely first-class in conspiracy.
You know, how many times have the world's dynasties changed? But the world's literati are still the mainstay. Putting aside the point that knowledge is power, the figure of Confucianists has never disappeared in the long river of history.
They have not even been suppressed. Look at Buddhism and Taoism, they were almost extinct several times.
Regardless of the fact that Sun Jing'an was scolded by him when he was in the court, it was because Sun Jing'an liked to come out and be slapped in the face, but all the real great scholars were hidden in the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty.
It seems that they don't care about worldly affairs, but in fact, each of them is more sophisticated and calculating than the other. If you mess with that group of people, you will definitely not end well.
However, knowing that the Wen Palace of Wei Dynasty was a bunch of old men, Xu Qingxiao also felt a sense of crisis.
If Cheng Lidong really breaks up with him, he will still be in trouble, and it will be a big trouble.
In particular, King Huaining now also holds a grudge against him. Once Cheng Lidong turns against him, he is afraid that King Huaining will seize this as soon as possible.
She had requested the Holy Will to kill King Huaining's son. Xu Qingxiao could figure it out with her toes. King Huaining would definitely not let her go and would cause a big fuss.
As for how to cause trouble, Xu Qingxiao could not think of it for the time being. All he could think of was that King Huaining would not let her go.
There was also King Zhenxi and Wen Gong of the Great Wei Dynasty, and there would be overwhelming accusations at that time.
"This Cheng Lidong is really haunted. Wu Yan, Wu Yan, if you don't have the ability, don't bother him. It would be better to commit suicide secretly. You've tricked me to death."
Xu Qingxiao's scalp felt numb for a while.
In fact, he can pretend to be a snake with Cheng Lidong, but the question is, who is Cheng Lidong? He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, and he is also a smart man. He can drag him down for one day, two days, or three days.
I can't bear to hold him back for one, two, or three years.
It would take a month or two at most, but after a month or two, I told Cheng Lidong that in fact I was just playing tricks on you, and I didn't want to cooperate with you at all, or to deceive Cheng Lidong away again.
What's the result?
The result was that Cheng Lidong picked up a knife to chop himself to death, and his life was definitely at stake.
What is the most despairing thing in the world? It’s not that there is no hope, but that there was just a little hope, but it was immediately extinguished.
So Xu Qingxiao is not even willing to take detours. He understands this kind of people very well. Once they have hope, they will work hard like crazy, but if anyone destroys their hopes.
They will lose all reason.
Therefore, this is the reason why Xu Qingxiao refused to cooperate with Cheng Lidong.
Moreover, now that she rejects Cheng Lidong, Xu Qingxiao even believes that Cheng Lidong will not act rashly and that he is a tolerant person.
But if he really agreed, would Cheng Lidong believe it? Why would he believe it? He had to give him something to convince him, right?
The location of Emperor Wu’s treasure?
Give it to him. He will probably check it immediately. If he finds it is not there, he will be furious when he comes back and won't even wait.
This guy is not easy to deal with.
For a moment, Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but sigh.
Cheng Lidong, Baiyimen, King Huaining, Wen Gong of the Great Wei, the demons in the world.
This is an enemy on the surface, but secretly there must be someone who wants to die.
So angry!
I, Xu Qingxiao, have done nothing, so why are you troubling me? I am just a scholar, who am I provoking?
Thinking of this, Xu Qingxiao had nothing to say, so let's read the book first.
The books sent by Hua Xingyun should be read first, and they might be returned in two days.
After reading the book, if you find clues, go to the Wen Palace. If you can't find any clues, go meet the people from the White Clothes Sect.
Right now, I must be steady, and I must not panic. Do whatever you have to do, and keep everything as usual.
And at this time.
Cheng Lidong walked out of Shouren Academy with a calm expression on his face.
He walked very fast, walking left and right in the alleys of Kyoto, and suddenly disappeared in an instant.
Then several figures appeared, frowning and looking around.
They were following Cheng Lidong. They did not know Cheng Lidong, but were ordered to keep tabs on him at Shouren Academy. Whenever they found that someone of unknown origin had been to Shouren Academy, they had to carefully investigate their address and identity information.
"Seven-level Dzogchen master, stop chasing us, he has already discovered us."
Someone spoke up and instantly noticed Cheng Lidong's level of strength and asked everyone not to continue following him.
A quarter of an hour later.
Inside a residence in Kyoto.
Cheng Lidong appeared quietly in the abandoned house.
"My subordinate Cheng Lidong has met Yan Ru."
In the lobby of the house, a figure turned his back to Cheng Lidong, and Cheng Lidong immediately knelt down.
"What's wrong?"
The voice sounded, and it was Yan Ru's, but he didn't turn around.
"Yan Ru, my subordinates found Xu Qingxiao, but he was still wary of his subordinates and refused to reveal any information about Emperor Wu's treasure."
"I am also unwilling to cooperate with my subordinates."
Cheng Lidong spoke up and said this.
"It's right not to tell."
"I've already guessed it."
Yan Ru was not surprised at all, but seemed to have already guessed it.
"Yan Ru, if Xu Qingxiao is unwilling to cooperate with his subordinates, is it possible that this treasure left by Emperor Wu will be taken away by the Baiyi Sect?"
Cheng Lidong was a little reluctant.
"Don't worry, the key information is still in Xu Qingxiao's hands. Without Xu Qingxiao, the Baiyi Sect will not be able to truly find the treasure left by Emperor Wu."
"However, since Xu Qingxiao is so uncooperative, we must put pressure on him. I have already discussed it with several great scholars. After the Taiping Poetry Conference is over, we will put pressure on him collectively."
"No matter how much Your Majesty values him, Xu Qingxiao will not be able to escape death if he involves magic."
"Of course, the key is still with you. You should stay hidden during this period and don't be discovered by anyone."
"I will notify you when I need you, do you understand?"
Yan Ru opened his mouth and said so.
"I obey my orders."
"It's just that Xu Qingxiao practices Confucianism and Taoism. What if the strange magic in his body cannot be found?"
Cheng Lidong nodded directly, but quickly raised the question again.
Hearing this, Yan Lei shook his head and said.
"It's impossible not to detect it. Confucianism and Taoism have magical powers that can detect it. Even if he practices Confucianism and hides it deeply, we can still detect it. If Confucianism and Taoism cannot detect it, there are other ways. You don't need to worry about this.
.”
Yan Ru replied, making Cheng Lidong feel at ease.
The latter nodded.
But soon, Cheng Lidong continued to speak.
"Yan Ru, just after my subordinates walked out of Xu Qingxiao Academy, they noticed that someone was following me, but these people have been thrown away by my subordinates."
"Please Yan Ru be vigilant."
Cheng Lidong is extremely loyal.
"It doesn't matter. Xu Qingxiao has offended so many people in Wei Dynasty. It is normal for someone to arrange a few spies in secret."
"Besides, it doesn't matter even if you are discovered."
"But you'd better hide it well. I'm afraid that Xu Qingxiao will jump over the wall in a hurry. After all, he still has some abilities."
Yan Ru said this.
"I understand that I am worrying too much."
Cheng Lidong nodded immediately and answered.
Yan Ru nodded, didn't say much, just waved his hand and said.
"Let's go back."
After saying this, Yan Ru didn't speak any more, while Cheng Lidong clasped his fists and obeyed, then turned over, crossed the wall, and left the place.
A quarter of an hour after Cheng Lidong left.
A voice sounded.
"Yan Ru, this Cheng Lidong has a wolf-like face. He is not a good guy. He also has many thoughts. He might bite us back. Do we need him?"
A slightly older voice sounded, and a figure spoke in the darkness of the house.
"need."
"He is the only one who can make Xu Qingxiao die. He is an important chess piece. If Xu Qingxiao dies, he will have to keep this chess piece."
"As for his thoughts, I already know that he wants to use me to fulfill his wish, but it doesn't matter, I am using him, and he is also using me."
"It's just that when I don't need him anymore, he will be a useless person and I will let him live or die."
"But he has to wait without me, otherwise, the things in his body will not be able to be suppressed."
Yan Ru opened his mouth and said with great confidence that he had known for a long time that Cheng Lidong was not a good person and was a biting wolf.
But so what? He has already prepared a foolproof plan, which is enough to ensure that Cheng Lidong cannot jump.
"Well, that's true."
"But what is the purpose of this Cheng Lidong? He is willing to pay such a price, but he is also stupid. If he touches that thing, he will die in the end."
"Including that Xu Qingxiao, if what Cheng Lidong said is true, then this Xu Qingxiao will eventually die. From ancient times to the present, no one who practices strange arts can survive."
"These people are ignorant. Although Confucianism and Taoism can temporarily suppress the demonic thoughts in their bodies, once the demonic thoughts grow, even the saints will not be able to suppress them."
"It's beyond stupid."
A voice from the shadows sounded, agreeing with Yan Ru's point of view, and at the same time revealed a secret.
Cheng Lidong practiced strange magic.
Yes, he practiced magic.
There will naturally be a price to pay for taking refuge in Yan Ru. Cheng Lidong's ambition is too great. If he doesn't have some ability, who would dare to control him?
And once Cheng Lidong has practiced the magic, he, Yan Lei, can truly control Cheng Lidong, because without him, Yan Lei, the demon seed in Cheng Lidong's body would soon burst out.
Therefore, no matter how hypocritical and tolerant Cheng Lidong is, there is no need to worry. Without Yan Lei, Cheng Lidong will be dead.
But he was different. Without Cheng Lidong, he was still a great Confucian.
This is not viciousness, this is just a plot, a chessboard, and a chess piece.
"Yan Ru, if you do this, there will be no way for promotion in the future. In fact, I still want to advise you."
The voice sounded again, making Yan Lei calm down, because what he was doing now was no longer worthy of the position of a great scholar.
It is very likely that he will fall from the Confucian position. Even if he does not fall from the Confucian position, he will never be promoted to a great Confucian in this life.
Because the approach is extreme and not the style of Confucianism.
But Yan Lei said calmly.
"I have made up my mind. The Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty is bright, but there are always people who want to go to dark places. The prosperity of Confucianism and Taoism depends not only on the world's literati."
"We need more strength. Whether it is Confucianism or Taoism, or darkness, there is yin and yang in this world. I have made up my mind, so there is no need for further persuasion."
Yan Lei spoke up with an extremely firm attitude.
yes!
What I am doing now is a little extreme and a little inhumane.
But, so what?
Xu Qingxiao has already ruined his reputation. The poem about the rat has been spread all over the world. The people praise Qingxiao as a good official, angrily criticize the great scholars, and redress the grievances of the people.
However, he was originally a great Confucian who was respected by the people, but because of Xu Qingxiao, his Confucian position was almost unstable, and now he is accused and insulted by the people all over the world.
It will be infamy for thousands of years.
How could I easily erase this account?
How could I forget this hatred so easily?
So he wanted to pay back Xu Qingxiao ten times as much.
At the same time, he also eradicated dissidents for the Zhu Sheng lineage.
If he was the light of the Great Wei Wen Palace before, then now he is the shadow of the Great Wei Wen Palace, doing some shameful but necessary things.
Youshi.
Shouren School.
Xu Qingxiao's eyes showed joy.
He found important information about the Great Sage.
This is the biography of the saint.
It records many things about the Great Sage, including his disciples.
It is recorded in the book that the first generation of literary saints had seven disciples, each of whom was unique.
The first one is extremely handsome, Chaoge, and the information is very correct.
And this second one is ‘Ze Xie’
[Zhan Xie, after becoming a general, he practiced martial arts when he was young. At the age of ten, he was in the seventh level, at fifteen and sixteenth level, at the twenty-fifth level, at the age of twenty-five, at the fourth level, at the age of thirty, at the third level, and at the age of thirty-five, at the second level. He was known as a peerless genius in martial arts.
, practice the True Dragon Evil-Breaking Technique, and take it as my duty to kill demons and eliminate evil. After that, I have been stuck in the realm of a second-grade warrior, and I have been unable to break through]
[Finally, at the age of forty-five, I met the Great Sage by chance, talked with him in detail for three days and three nights, and suddenly realized martial arts. I officially entered the realm of first-level martial arts, which shocked the ten countries. Later, I became a disciple of the Great Sage and was willing to protect the Great Sage.
The saint named him to destroy evil and eliminate evil. Later, he experienced darkness and chaos, and his life and death were uncertain.]
[This is recorded in ancient books, and later generations Wang Botong consulted it]
——
After reading the content, Xu Qingxiao was almost certain that the second person who appeared in Wen Palace was Zhan Xie.
First of all, they are about the same age, and secondly, the second person in Wen Gong is really full of the feeling of a martial arts master, and thirdly, he knows so much about different arts.
All the signs are consistent. What if it’s not killing evil? Could it be that it’s still a demon?
Thinking of this, Xu Qingxiao felt a little happy, finally finding relevant content.
But who is this Wang Bo? It seems that Chao Ge’s information was also written by this person.
If you have time, you have to look for this person and ask questions in one go. This will save you the trouble of having to find the other person’s detailed information for a long time after the person comes out.
After closing the book, Xu Qingxiao didn't even eat, lay down on the bed, began to sleep, and entered the Wen Palace.
next moment.
Tiandiwengong.
"Brother Chaoge!"
Xu Qingxiao shouted, and for a moment, two figures slowly walked out of the Wen Palace.
"Brother Xian, what's wrong?"
Chaoge asked curiously.
"Brother Chao Ge, we have found out everything."
"Brother Po Xie, I have found out your origin. You are the second disciple of the Great Sage, named Po Xie. After becoming a general, you practiced martial arts at a young age. At the age of thirty-five, you broke through to the second level of martial arts. You killed demons and evil spirits and served the world.
Livelihood of the people.”
"After only the second level, but stagnant for ten years, I met the Great Sage by chance, talked for three days and three nights, and finally had an epiphany in one night and entered the first level of martial arts. In order to repay your kindness and respect for the Great Sage, you became a disciple of the Sage."
"The Great Sage named you Poxie, and then there was a big battle, and your life or death was uncertain."
Xu Qingxiao informed the middle-aged man about the information he learned.
After hearing these words, the latter couldn't help but look thoughtful.
"Breaking evil? Breaking evil?"
He murmured to himself, feeling inexplicably familiar with this name.
"right!"
"My name should be Po Xie. I remember this name deep in my memory."
"Brother, I'm really sorry to trouble you."
After learning his basic information, Po Xie was very grateful to Xu Qingxiao and even bowed to Xu Qingxiao.
"Brother Po Xie, don't be polite. This is what Yu brother should do."
Xu Qingxiao spoke quickly, he did not dare to accept this sentiment.
Let’s not talk about the first level of Confucianism and Taoism, and the first level of martial arts. What is the concept?
If you recover your memory and teach yourself how to practice martial arts, isn't that just a matter of sprinkling water?
"By the way, brother Chaoge, brother Poxie, I'm in trouble."
Now that the identity information was clearly stated, Xu Qingxiao took the opportunity to tell her own affairs.
"What trouble?"
The two of them were a little curious.
Xu Qingxiao didn't go into details, but simply explained the whole story.
At the end Xu Qingxiao spoke directly.
"Brothers, do you have a way to suppress the magical species?"
"Cheng Lidong has taken refuge with Yan Ru and dared to come to me. He obviously has a way to find out the demonic seed in my body."
"If you are pushed to any further, I'm afraid it will be a big trouble for me."
Xu Qingxiao asked.
As soon as these words were said, both of them fell silent.
Chao Ge frowned, thinking deeply.
And Po Xie is also meditating.
Xu Qingxiao fully believed that Yan Lei had a way to detect the devil in his body. He knew that he also practiced Confucianism, but he still dared to let Cheng Lidong come to him.
Obviously he is confident.
It's just that the other party doesn't want to touch him yet.
Maybe it's because of the situation, or maybe it's not easy to start now.
But sooner or later, Yan Lei will definitely take action.
Not even just Yan Lei.
But the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty and all the scholars in the world.
Together with Prince Huaining, the vassal princes from various places, and all his enemies.
Because, once it is found out that he has really practiced magic.
Indeed. A capital crime.
At the moment, Xu Qingxiao's only hope is these two people.
A full hour passed.
Finally, the sound of breaking evil sounded.
"There is a way!"
"It's just some trouble."
His voice sounded, making Xu Qingxiao's eyes light up.
"Brother Po Xie, what can we do?"
Xu Qingxiao doesn't care if it's troublesome or not, it's better than nothing, right?
"Public opinion suppresses the devil!"
Po Xie opened his mouth and came up with a solution.
"Public opinion suppresses the devil?"
Xu Qingxiao was curious, and Chao Ge on the side was also a little curious.
"Brother Qingxiao, I can detect that you have the power of public opinion in your body. This cannot suppress your demonic thoughts, but it can cover up your demonic seeds."
"They want to find out your demonic species, and they can only use Confucianism, Taoism, and magical powers. But if you have a large amount of public opinion in your body, you can block Confucianism, Taoism, and magical powers."
"But the trouble is that you don't have much public opinion in your body. You need to get a lot of public opinion in a short period of time, otherwise you will be in trouble once you break up."
Po Xie opened his mouth and revealed the only way.
But Xu Qingxiao was a little thoughtful.
Can public opinion cover up the demonic seeds in one's body?
This is a good thing and also a new knowledge.
But the public opinion in my body has been completely consumed in the past few days.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain new public opinion unless the water wheel project is fully implemented today.
The people felt the benefits of the waterwheel, which generated a lot of public opinion and support.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to gain a lot of public opinion at once.
"Brother Qingxiao, don't worry. Public opinion is an extremely mysterious thing and can be obtained in many ways."
"And it's not necessarily the only way. Brother Yu, think about it again and see if there are other ways."
Po Xie continued to speak, helping Xu Qingxiao think of another solution.
"Okay, sorry for bothering you brother."
Xu Qingxiao didn't show any pretense. After thanking her, she left Tiandi Wen Palace.
Is there any other way to put it aside for now? Public opinion has to be studied.
After leaving Tiandiwen Palace.
Xu Qingxiao got up.
After taking a look at the sky, he left Shouren Academy directly.
Go and meet Baiyimen for a while.
There's no point in hiding. Anyway, there are a lot of troubles now and I'm not afraid of another one.
He wanted to see what the Baiyimen wanted to do with him.
