Fang Canran said attentively, "But why did he go to Chiyan Country quietly before?"
"When the envoy Duyun of the Heavenly Palace goes out, he must be doing something for the gods."
"That is to say, there is something happening in Chiyan that the gods are concerned about. Bai Ziqi went over to investigate." Fang Canran stroked its top feathers, "Didn't you receive news that Tianluo Star was abnormal dozens of days ago?
Calculating the time, it seems to be right."
"The shining star of the sky is in Chiyan; the origin of the elixir of life is in Chiyan." The parrot shook his head, "You mean, the demon king and his son of Chiyan want to cause trouble, so they sent this man named He to find you?"
"At least that's what it looks like on the surface. Fu Shanyue has been very active in Lingxu City recently. He appears on various occasions and has had several cooperation talks, including with the Golden Horn Family and Dunyuan."
"Can Fushan and his son know your family affairs?"
Parrot's questions sometimes hit the nail on the head. Fang Canran sighed: "It's supposed to be impossible, but in any case, I haven't found a reason for He Xiao to expose me for the time being. If he made a special trip to come to trouble me, there is no need to provoke so many powerful people at the same time.
"Isn't that forcing yourself to make things more difficult?
"He is with Prince Chiyan. This time Chiyan is using the elixir of immortality to fight Lingxu City. Alas, these Chiyan people in Lingxu City are like a powder keg that explodes accidentally. So I think
, it’s best for us to live in peace with him. Besides, there are already many people who want his life, and he won’t be able to get through it if he can’t handle it on his own, so there’s no need for me to take action.”
"In short, since God sent Bai Ziqi to Chiyan, the matter to be investigated was already very important. Later, a drug of elixir was introduced. Chiyan State initiated it, Baoshu State and other six countries jointly submitted a petition to support it, but now the investigation has been delayed.
If he doesn't come out, each demon kingdom takes turns to write letters of concern, and I heard that the demon emperor has become angry several times."
The parrot was curious: "Don't you think the mastermind behind the scenes is Qing Gong?"
"Qingfu Temple sells elixir privately, and a lot of nobles have bought it. Do you think the people at the top know about it?" Fang Canran deduced, "This is a unique business. I haven't heard of anyone else doing it so far.
Yes - the time hundreds of years ago is not counted, it was too long ago - so the backing behind Qingfu Temple is too strong. If it weren't for this lucky chance, it would be impossible for the Eucalyptus of Agelessness to shine in the sky. The Baoshu King and other demons
The king also recognized that this opportunity was really rare, so he jointly launched an attack."
"Now that this situation has been exposed to the sun, if Lingxu City cannot find the real culprit behind the scenes and cannot respond to everyone's concerns, the prestige of the Demon Emperor and the Gods will be affected; but the resistance to further investigation is also great, you
The progress has been stalled for a long time, and Bai Ziqi’s opponents have cleared up all the clues. Everyone is suspicious, but there is no evidence.”
"So you think it's Qingong?"
Fang Canran nodded: "It's very possible."
The parrot asked him: "What if it can't be found out?"
"Then delay." Fang Canran said without thinking, "Lingxu City is so big and Bejia is so big, how many things happen every day? People won't just focus on the elixir of life."
Human nature is to seek novelty, to like the new and dislike the old. "As long as you drag this thing down until everyone is tired of it and forgets it, then it will naturally become a major issue and a trivial matter. Well, isn't there still a war in the east? Use it to transfer it.
It will be useful if everyone pays attention." He paused, "So many earth-shattering events have happened in the past, such as the Torch causing the Lingxu earthquake, which was blamed from all sides, but didn't it end like this in the end?"
He let out a long sigh: "The current Lingxu City is full of undercurrents. I really hope we can add more firepower to it."
"Pay attention to safety!" the parrot flapped its wings to remind him, "Safety first! Did you hear that? Safety first!"
"I know." Fang Canran quickly found a few peanuts and handed them to him.
The parrot subconsciously stretched out its claws to grab it, and used its big plier-like beak to crack open the shell. It started eating the peanuts and had no time to talk.
…
Watching Fang Canran leave in the car, the Soul-Calling Mirror asked in He Lingchuan's arms:
"What does the word 'punishment' mean?"
It cannot enter Panlong City and does not know the origin of the Dragon Punishment Pillar.
"It's nothing." He Lingchuan didn't intend to explain it to it. These three words "Xinglongzhu" should not appear in Lingxu City.
"Hey, you tell him something that even I don't know?" The Soul-Taking Mirror was very sad. Doesn't this owner know the difference between intimacy and distance? "Aren't you afraid that he will find a way to report you?"
Some people just like to report it.
"The oath chain is effective, but he is powerless to report now." He Lingchuan walked back slowly, and the servants along the way greeted him. "If he wasn't afraid, he would have reported me a long time ago, why did he come to meet me?"
He simply walked to the Mingguang Tower on the west side of the garden.
This is the highest point of Qilin Mountain. When night falls on the top of the tower, a huge lotus glazed lamp will light up in red, blue and yellow, creating a beautiful night scene.
This is also the origin of "bright light". But the servants were lazy today and did not light the lamp.
He Lingchuan lit it up casually and then sat on the tower window.
Mingguang Tower is too narrow and can only accommodate one person going up. It is difficult to turn around on the stairs.
The mirror asked again: "Is that Shao Jian, the person you used to play riddles, the ancestor of this person named Fang?"
"Ninety percent yes." He Lingchuan had already thought about it, "I only know that Shao Jian has a daughter named Shao Yingying. If she marries outside, then of course Shao Jian's grandson will not be named Shao."
"What exactly does this person named Shao do?" Jing Jing was puzzled, "to make you admire him so much."
This master is no longer human in many cases. He actually has someone to admire?
He Lingchuan said calmly: "This is a secret, and not many people dare to mention it so far."
That’s all, the mirror felt that the owner was still close or distant, so it just regarded it as “sparse”! “Does Fang Canran believe you?”
"We are just testing each other out at the moment. Even with the power of the oath chain, no one dares to give it all away." Everyone has their own little secrets.
There was a noise in the woods not far away, as if birds were fighting. He Lingchuan threw a few nut shells over, and a group of night birds sprang out.
"...Then why did you tell so many secrets just now?"
"If it were just Fang Canran, even if I was sure that he was a descendant of Shao Jian, I might not tell him this, or even go to him." He Lingchuan thought clearly, "No matter how fearless and determined Shao Jian is, then
It is also Shao Jian himself and has nothing to do with his descendants."
In other words, Shao Jian can stand firm against the gods, but his descendants may not.
I am the son of a dragon, is it not uncommon, right?
This is something that can happen in just two generations, but what if it extends to ten or eight generations?
Never ignore individual autonomy and differences.
"So?" Jing Jing found that she had been asking these three words more and more recently.
"But Fang Canran not only understands, but also agrees with what his ancestors did more than a hundred years ago..."
"Hey, how do you see that he agrees?" the mirror shouted, "Why can't I see it?"
"The signet ring he is wearing is the signet ring of the leader of the Hongluo Chamber of Commerce founded by Shao Jian. It has five threads. I am deeply impressed and will not admit my mistake."
"Oh, then?"
"Shao Jian fought for his country and his family all his life, and fought against the gods until his death. Fang Canran knew his life history, but he still wore his threaded ring on his hand. This was an endorsement of his ancestors' ideas and practices, and also a tribute to the gods.
He Lingchuan said sternly, "Don't forget that this is Lingxu City, right under the eyes of the gods! And what Shao Jian has done is enough for the gods to punish him for eighteen generations. If Fang Canran had not inherited the legacy of his ancestors,
How can you dare to wear that ring if you just know it but don’t agree with it?”
To be a good person and do things, you must first establish your mind.
Fang Canran insisted on wearing this signet ring, perhaps it was an act of self-clarification and vigilance at all times.
"Is it really okay if he wears that ring?"
He Lingchuan shook his head: "Shao Jian disbanded the Hongluo Chamber of Commerce a few years ago. I calculated the time, and it was probably shortly after the destruction of Panlong City; later he left home on his own. He should have known that the gods were pressing closer, so
Cut off the last connection between himself and his family. He has enough time to calmly deal with the beginning and the end. I think the gods may not know about this ring. Besides, it has been more than a hundred years."
He smiled: "Fang Canran is not stupid. If there is really a risk, he will not wear it."
"It's too far away." He Lingchuan brought the topic back, "I am so busy myself, why should I take the risk of contacting him? In addition to needing external help, it is also because this person's persistence is very weird."
"eccentric?"
"As I said just now, no matter how firm my faith is, it would be great if it can be passed on to my son. How about passing it on to ten generations later?" He Lingchuan chuckled, "Today's people don't even know the names of their ancestors three generations ago, and they still inherit the legacy.
?joke!"
"You said that Shao Jian's legacy can be passed down from generation to generation. After more than 160 years, it has been passed down to Fang Canran without decay. That is almost impossible."
The mirror screamed: "You mean, he is fake? He is pretending?"
"That's what you said." He Lingchuan rolled his eyes, "What I want to say is that he is not alone. There is probably a strict and efficient organization behind him."
"Ah?" The mirror was stunned, "Why, why?"
"It is very difficult for an individual to keep his faith consistent. Do you know how fragile the human heart is?" Looking from the top of the tower, you can catch a glimpse of the lights of thousands of families under Qilin Mountain. How many small blessings are there for ordinary people?
Even for the residents of Lingxu City, it is not easy to live a good life. "The world is full of flowers and distractions, and the road is so difficult that it is difficult to achieve even if you have ambition. Unless you are a saint, your iron will cannot withstand the hardships of day and night. However, there are
An organization is different when it has a team. Like-minded comrades can encourage each other and move forward side by side."
He Lingchuan thought of Panlong City.
Isn’t the Gale Army just such a group of people?
"Faith also needs to be instilled and maintained." Faith is such a precious thing. It is like fire. It is easier for a group of people to keep it than for one person.
The mirror glanced at him secretly: "What about you?" Isn't the master a single-handed person?
