When operating in Shenjing, there are indeed pits and traps everywhere. If you are not careful, you will step into them and you will be doomed.
The dangers of officialdom are more hidden and thrilling than fighting in the martial arts world.
She felt like this, but Li Zhu didn't think much about it. He just felt aggrieved and couldn't take the opportunity to get rid of his bad temper.
Zhou Tianhuai secretly broke into a cold sweat when he thought about the danger of this step.
Li Ying's eyes soon became clear and bright, and she regained her high fighting spirit.
The lower you are at the bottom, the more you have no control over yourself and can only be plotted. Only at the top can you have the ability to plot others. Isn’t what you are pursuing so hard is the freedom to control your own destiny instead of being dominated by others?
On Fakong's side, the small courtyard is very quiet.
Chu Ling had already gone to the pagoda garden behind to play with Xu Qingluo and the others, practicing and sparring together.
Her Yu-Dragon Universe Transformation improved unknowingly during this competition, the changes were obvious, and she advanced by leaps and bounds. It was truly a miraculous feat.
Xu Qingluo and the others were filled with admiration and envy.
It is indeed a royal secret, superb and superb.
Although Chu Ling was elated, she did not relax.
She also felt that Xu Qingluo and the others were also making rapid progress, and they were all top wizards.
None of the four wanted to fall behind, so they scrambled to be the first, stimulating their potential and making rapid progress in their cultivation.
This is several times faster than practicing alone in the sect or in the palace, and the effect is excellent.
When Faning saw their arrival, he stopped paying attention to their play and allowed them to do whatever they wanted.
Fakong sat alone at the stone table in the small courtyard, holding a pure bottle in his hand, measuring it carefully and feeling the wonderful curves.
Every time you watch it, you will gain something different.
Endless charm.
After a while, his voice rang in Chu Ling's ears: "Your Highness, what is the magical use of this purification bottle?"
Chu Ling was practicing her martial arts. When she heard the voice, her figure flashed, dragging out a string of shadows of her figure, and came to Fakong in the blink of an eye.
The strong wind carried her fragrance towards Fa Kong.
Fa Kong's purple and gold cassock fluttered and he looked at Chu Ling with a smile.
Chu Ling's fair and smooth forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and her whole body was filled with vitality and youthful vitality. She glanced at the purification bottle and said, "The Imperial Grandmother only said that this is a treasure, but what kind of treasure it is, I don't know."
"Then where does this treasure come from?"
"The Imperial Grandmother said that this is a treasure from ten thousand years ago, or even older. It has gone through several dynasties, and each dynasty has been hidden in the palace secret vault."
Fakong raised his eyebrows.
"Anyway, this is definitely a treasure. Look, does it look like it's that old?" Chu Ling's green-white index finger drew circles towards it in the air and pointed: "It looks like it was just carved."
Fakong nodded slowly.
This pure vase has a faint glimmer of light, and is filled with the spirit of new life. It really does not look like something that has been around for tens of thousands of years.
Time has left no vicissitudes on it.
Chu Ling suddenly turned around and stared at Fa Kong, his big eyes blinking.
Fakong looked at her with a smile, showing the intention of asking.
Chu Ling said: "Monk, you don't think this is a fake, do you? Did the Imperial Grandmother fool you with a new purifying bottle?"
Fakong laughed and shook his head.
Chu Ling hummed: "I don't think you need to study it. No one has studied it for many years. It's just fine to put a flower there... By the way, the flower will never decay if you put it in it. I
I think this is the mystery of it.”
"oh"
Measure this pure bottle with its empty end.
Could it be like my own rejuvenation spell, able to provide abundant vitality?
But the rejuvenation spell cannot keep the flowers from decaying forever.
Flowers have their own life cycle, just like people, they undergo birth, old age, illness and death. The rejuvenation spell can only eliminate illness, but it cannot eliminate death.
"Let me give it a try." Fakong said.
"Okay, anyway, you are quite free. If you are free, you will be free. Maybe you can find other wonderful things about it. I'm going to practice."
She pulled out a string of shadows again and ran back to the pagoda garden.
Fakong looked at the inside and outside with his inner eye, trying to see if there was any mystery inside the bottle.
But the inside of this pure bottle was so dense and foggy that it was hard to see what it looked like.
This dense mist blocked my eyes.
Normal fog cannot block the mind's eye. Not to mention fog, even stones, gold and iron cannot block it. Everything the mind's eye sees is transparent and there is nothing to hide from.
Fa Kong looked at this dense scene and suddenly felt familiar.
Then I remembered that there was originally this dense mist surrounding the Forbidden Palace.
Later, the power of merit condensed into golden eyes, which could break through the fog, but the emperor's position could not break it.
He had been trying to figure out what this mist was, and now he happened to encounter it.
He was immersed in research and did not know the passage of time.
When Lin Feiyang came to report that the prince had arrived, he woke up and found that the sun was already setting.
Xinwang Chuxiang strode over, clad in rays of sunshine, joined in the tithe, and said with a smile: "Master, long time no see."
Fakong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's only been half a month."
Chu Xiang sat down at the stone table: "I feel that it has been a long time, alas... these days are too difficult."
Fa Kong sat opposite him.
Lin Feiyang served the tea and left silently.
Chu Xiang looked around.
It is already cold and windy outside, but the garden here is still full of spring scenery. Under the sunset, everything is full of vitality. The trees, flowers and plants are not affected by the cold and grow proudly.
"Master, I'm here to say goodbye." Chu Xiang said, "I will be leaving Shenjing soon."
Fakong raised his eyebrows.
Chu Xiang said: "My nine admirals are finally going to be cut off, and my father just let go."
Fakong smiled and said, "The prince is finally free?"
"Alas!" Chu Xiang let out a long sigh, stood up, walked around twice with his hands behind his hands, sat down again, and said with a wry smile: "I'm really not used to losing this position."
"Isn't this the right time?" Fakong said, "The emperor is also sympathetic to the prince."
"...Yes." Chu Xiang nodded: "Now everyone in the court is in a state of turmoil due to the matter between the Green Undercover and the Southern Supervisory Department. Even if the position of the Nine Admirals is cut off, they have no time to cause trouble for me.
.”
"Your Majesty, where are you going after leaving Shenjing?" Fakong asked.
Under normal circumstances, if his position as Admiral of the Nine Gates was reduced, he would most likely have to stay in seclusion and not be able to leave the capital.
The emperor will not let him leave the capital.
Not only for his safety, not to let others mess around, but also to prevent him from messing around.
Now that he has to leave Beijing, he has another appointment, which is probably not an ordinary thing.
Chu Xiang is now someone that the emperor can use easily and can rest assured. The emperor must be using it with all his strength and will not let him really have a rest.
"There's something going on over there in Shenwu Mansion. I want to go over and take a look." Chu Xiang sighed, "I will take over the post of palace master for the time being."
Fakong raised his eyebrows.
Chu Xiang said: "Master, didn't you hear the news?"
Fakong shook his head.
There was no sound at all.
"Shenwu Mansion... Oh, it's such a mess..." Chu Xiang shook his head and said, "It's rotten from the root!"
He had an angry and helpless look on his face, which was complicated and inexplicable: "Master, if you have time, you might as well go to Shenwu Mansion to play with me. I can't come back to Shenjing for the time being."
"princess……"
"They stay in Shenjing."
Fakong nodded slowly: "It doesn't look like it will be long."
"Who can say for sure?" Chu Xiang sighed.
Fakong smiled and said: "This is the purpose of the prince's visit, right? OK, let me take a look."
His eyes suddenly became as deep as the sea.
His eyes fell on Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang endured the awkwardness and looked at Fa Kong calmly.
If there was nothing he could do, he really didn't want to come over and trouble Fakong. The key was that this feeling was too uncomfortable.
Especially as King Xin and a Grand Master, he couldn't stand the feeling of being seen through.
Fakong's eyes changed again. A circle of gold was drawn on the pupils of his eyes, and then circles of gold were drawn inward. Finally, the entire pupils of his eyes became golden.
Chu Xiang felt the urge to run away.
These golden eyes no longer seemed to be human eyes, but seemed to be the eyes of gods.
His eyes are like lightning, and his power is like the sea.
The strong pressure left him breathless.
He widened his eyes unwillingly and stared straight at Fa Kong.
He is a great master, not an ordinary little person. He has already entered the top ranks in the world. How could he be suppressed by his power?
The golden color in his eyes slowly faded away, returning to depth and normality again. Fakong withdrew his gaze, thoughtfully.
The panic in Chu Xiang's heart slowly subsided, and he asked in surprise: "Master, is this also a clairvoyance?"
"I have made some progress in my practice, and I think I have a stronger level of clairvoyance." Fakong nodded.
"Master is getting more and more powerful." Chu Xiang sighed.
Fakong said: "My lord, you won't be able to come back in a short time. Please stay at Shenwu Mansion with peace of mind."
"how long?"
"At least one year." Fakong said: "You have not been able to come back within the year that I have seen."
"One year..." Chu Xiang sighed unwillingly.
It's not that he doesn't want to leave Shenjing, it's not bad to leave this place of right and wrong. He doesn't care about the prosperity of Shenjing at all.
But not being able to see the princess for a year is really difficult.
But I couldn't bring the princess with me.
This was too cruel for him. Not seeing the princess for one day felt like he had not seen her for a year, which was unbearable.
With a bitter look on his face, he sighed: "It would be great if I had the master's magical foot power."
If you have divine foot power, you can travel back and forth between Shenwu Mansion and the Royal Mansion in an instant, and you can live in Shenwu Mansion for the rest of your life.
In Shenwu Mansion, you don't need to pay attention to those scheming and intrigues. The disciples of Shenwu Mansion are much simpler-minded, just like a military camp.
He felt that he was countless times stronger than in Shenjing.
Fakong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Shenwu Palace is not that far from Shenjing. It only takes one trip every two or three days. Now I go back to Jingang Temple every two or three days. Isn't Shenwu Palace closer than Jingang Temple?"
As far as he knew, Shenwu Mansion was only a hundred miles away from Shenjing.
Shenwu Mansion not only suppresses the martial arts world, but also has the responsibility of guarding Shenjing. If there is a disturbance, Shenwu Mansion can rush there immediately.
The distance of a hundred miles is not far for martial arts masters, and it can be reached within an hour.
"Come back once every two or three days..." Chu Xiang was a little moved, but also a little worried.
There is still some chaos in the Shenwu Mansion, and you need to suppress it yourself. Once you leave, someone with ulterior motives may take advantage of the situation.
So in a short period of time, there is no way to come back every three days.
Fakong won’t say any more, lest he changes the future again.
"If I leave, there may be some trouble in the Vajra Temple." Chu Xiang frowned and said, "Master, you should be more careful."
He secretly helped the King Kong Temple to avoid a lot of trouble, and some of the claws that stretched out randomly were cut off by him.
Once he leaves the position of Admiral of the Nine Sects, those people may return to their old ways.
Father's plaque does have the power of protection, but those people will not do anything to the Vajra Temple, they will only cause some minor stumbling blocks.
I can't do anything to the Vajra Temple, just to disgust Master Fakong.
