He hadn't been to Ning Zhenzhen's place for a few days. This time he took a look and noticed something strange.
The last time I checked, the news hadn't reached Ning Zhenzhen's ears.
This time it did.
This change must have occurred because he opened a forum to lecture on scriptures and changed Ning Zhenzhen's future destiny.
Ning Zhenzhen was silent and thinking.
Her beautiful face was shrouded in solemnity, and her dark eyebrows were lightly frowned.
She looked up at the night sky, where the flawless moonlight exuded watery moonlight.
Her mutton-fat white jade-like face becomes brighter and brighter under the moonlight and lamplight.
Fakong said: "This is a catastrophe for the Jade Butterfly Sect. If there are no accidents, I'm afraid..."
He shook his head.
You don't need to think about it to know that the Jade Butterfly Sect will become the common target of Emperor Dayong and King Chun to vent their anger.
Although the Jade Butterfly Sect has a deep foundation and extensive connections, none of these can work when the emperor and King Chun are furious.
No one dares to intercede for the Jade Butterfly Sect at this juncture. To plead for mercy at this juncture is like asking for death and being buried with him.
Even if you plead for mercy, you have to wait until the emperor and Prince Chun have vented their anger before you can offer it in a subtle and tactful way.
The Jade Butterfly Sect's lighter ones will be severely damaged, while those who are more serious will be destroyed.
There is no escaping this disaster.
Ning Zhenzhen's bright eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment, he frowned and said, "Senior brother, there will be news in five days?"
"You will get the news in five days. How long will it take for you to communicate with Tianjing?"
"One day is enough."
"That means there are four days left." Fakong said, "Do you think you can prevent this catastrophe?"
"Four days...difficult!" Ning Zhenzhen shook his head gently.
This is what happened in the Great Forbidden Palace, and it is beyond my control.
He is just a deputy sect leader, not a sect leader. It seems like there is only a little difference, but in fact it is too far.
At least the disciples of the Jade Butterfly Sect in the Forbidden Palace could not move around, nor could the elders and guests.
The most important thing is that I don't know the specific situation now. Was it the work of the Jade Butterfly Sect disciples, or was it framed?
But just standing by and watching, eagerly waiting for the disaster to come, I was unwilling to give in and wanted to do something.
Fakong knew what she was going to ask, and shook his head and said: "What I saw is that the Jade Butterfly Sect was almost completely destroyed. Only you and Princess Yu were spared. You were unable to protect yourself and failed to find out this matter."
"Senior brother, I really can't reconcile myself to this."
"If you are not willing, then go and give it a try." Fakong said: "Now it is estimated that operations have begun in the Forbidden Palace. You must first find the disciple of the Jade Butterfly Sect, whose surname is Sun, Sun Peiyu."
"Sun Peiyu..." Ning Zhenzhen snorted softly: "I know her."
Fakong raised his eyebrows.
Ning Zhenzhen said: "She is the maid in the palace of Concubine Zhen."
"Palace Maid..." Fa Kong said curiously: "A disciple of the Jade Butterfly Sect actually became a palace maid?"
"The palace maid is expected to become a concubine." Ning Zhenzhen said: "This is a shortcut to the sky, how can the Jade Butterfly Sect refuse?"
"Did the imperial court recommend disciples of the Jade Butterfly Sect to enter the palace?"
"Exactly."
"Hmm..." Fakong said: "Are there any disciples of the Jade Butterfly Sect who become noble concubines?"
Ning Zhenzhen nodded: "There are two concubines, but they are just concubines. Their level is not high enough to attract attention."
Fakong raised his eyebrows slightly.
Ning Zhenzhen said: "What Sun Peiyu said... really shouldn't be the case. She is a very gentle person, very weak. She feels guilty even if she steps on an ant to death. How can she kill someone?"
Fakong frowned and said, "How can you enter the palace with such a temperament?"
The harem is one of the most dangerous places in the world. If you are not smart enough, heartless enough, or not a wolf by nature, you will easily be swallowed up if you enter here.
Sun Peiyu's temperament is really not suitable for entering the palace.
"Sun Peiyu's cousin is a concubine, so she can protect her in the palace, and she also wants to enter the palace, so she and her cousin can take care of her."
"In the end, she failed to enter her cousin's palace?"
"The allocation of palace maidens is under the control of the supervisor, not the concubines," Ning Zhenzhen said: "She just entered the palace not long ago, and she can be replaced after a year or two."
"Junior sister, what can you do even if you return to Tianjing?" Fakong said: "The harem must have been sealed off now. She can't escape even if she wants to, let alone dare not escape."
"I don't believe it was Sun Peiyu who did it." Ning Zhenzhen shook his head gently: "There must be some hidden secret in this."
"There is nothing you can do if there is an inside story." Fakong said.
Ning Zhenzhen's beautiful eyes flashed and she said softly: "I can't do anything, but Prince Ming can."
She whispered: "In the name of Prince Ming, I can go and check."
Fakong nodded slowly.
In the Dayong court, the highest status was of course the emperor and Prince Chun. As the future emperor, Prince Ming, although not powerful enough, had enough status and enough weight to speak.
Prince Chun always has to sell his face to some extent.
"Prince Ming is treating you now...?"
"Very restrained." Ning Zhenzhen smiled: "I should be a little moved, but not to the point of being desperate."
Fakong nodded.
If King Ming is still rational, he will not act rashly and will restrain his emotions.
He had to worry about the feelings of the princess and his concubine. The concubine Yu Qingxian was already a member of the Jade Butterfly Sect, so it would be inappropriate to marry another disciple of the Jade Butterfly Sect.
Not to mention other things, Emperor Dayong would not agree.
Can he have the courage of King Yi Chu Yun to kill first and then show off, to marry the woman he likes into the house first and then talk about other things?
The key still depends on the depth of the emotion.
I had previously avoided all contact with Prince Ming, and had few opportunities to meet him, so he probably wouldn't have been so strongly impacted and aroused uncontrollable feelings.
Ning Zhenzhen has been following Yu Qingxian, deliberately lowering his sense of existence and not letting himself shine.
This still works.
"Then you can give it a try." Fakong said.
Ning Zhenzhen nodded lightly.
The two chatted some other gossip, and Ning Zhenzhen talked about various trivial matters and assassinations in the Ming Palace.
She is more concerned about trivial matters than assassinations.
Everyone in the palace has their own temperament and goals. Through her wisdom and transparency, she saw how contradictory their hearts, words and deeds were, and found it very interesting.
Fakong listened carefully, and occasionally found some comments, discussing with Ning Zhenzhen their contradictions and why they were so.
Is it because of nature, or is it due to acquired environment, or is it due to other thoughts?
Fakong's gaze suddenly became profound and he cast his gaze in the direction of the south city gate.
"Senior brother, what's the matter?" Ning Zhenzhen saw his expression and knew that he had used clairvoyance.
Fakong nodded and told him about getting a soul-suppressing pillar from the Yeyue Sect, and also asked the caravan to transport it.
Ning Zhenzhen asked a few detailed questions, her bright eyes flashed, and she said thoughtfully: "Senior brother, do you want to go fishing?"
Fa Kong smiled and nodded.
Ning Zhenzhen said: "If the Yeyue Sect has been destroyed, then what we are fishing for is others, the relatives and friends of the Yeyue Sect, the revengers... No, there is no need to target the Soul Suppressing Pillar... What we are fishing for is the people who recognize the Soul Suppressing Pillar...
A person from the pillar, right?"
Fakong's smile grew even brighter.
Ning Zhenzhen's bright eyes burned, and he chuckled: "Brother, there are other soul-suppressing pillars in this world, right?"
"It's hard to say." Fakong smiled and said, "So I have to give it a try."
Ning Zhenzhen shook his head and smiled: "As expected of you, senior brother!"
She immediately understood what Fakong meant.
He wanted to get more soul-crushing pillars.
Use the soul-suppressing pillar as bait to fish out the person who snatches the soul-suppressing pillar.
Since those people are coming to grab the soul-suppressing pillar, it is very likely that they have already obtained other soul-suppressing pillars, or have grabbed other soul-suppressing pillars.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is not a high-risk thing to ask the caravans to help transport it.
Senior brother, he can see and monitor the situation over there at any time, and can go over and stop the robbery at any time.
Fakong said: "It depends on whether there are jujubes or not. If there are jujubes, it will be an unexpected surprise."
The Soul Repressing Pillar is very weird.
It can blur Fa Kong's senses. At first, I felt that there was only one soul-suppressing pillar in the world, but later I felt that there would be other soul-suppressing pillars in the world.
It changes so much that it's hard to tell.
So I simply let it out to see if anyone would come to snatch it.
The risk of robbery in the outer courtyard of Vajra Temple was too high, which might scare away those people, so they had it transported by caravans, making it the easiest place to rob.
Fu Qinghe is following in secret and will not take action until the critical moment.
Unfortunately, the soul-suppressing pillar arrived peacefully outside the city. No one took action, and the hope became very slim.
He had carefully studied the soul-suppressing pillar, and then carefully calculated the Xiaoxitian Paradise. Finally, he judged that it would be very difficult to decorate the Xiaoxitian Paradise with just one soul-suppressing pillar.
It is difficult for a single tree to support it. The Xiaoxitian Paradise that can be arranged by a soul-suppressing pillar is small in scope and weak in power, far from meeting its own standards.
There should be at least two, three is better, four is perfect.
"Senior brother, all your wishes will come true." Ning Zhenzhen said with a smile.
Fakong smiled and nodded: "Junior sister, I wish you good luck."
He became increasingly aware of his limitations.
As my cultivation deepened, I came into contact with more and more strange objects, and I became more and more aware of my own powerlessness.
——
Beside a forest outside the southern gate of Shenjing, twelve young men and middle-aged men gathered together and sat around a long pillar.
There is a pillar nearly twenty meters long, with a thick quilt wrapped with a rope, and an oilcloth wrapped around the quilt.
Twelve young and middle-aged men wearing short-sleeved clothes gathered around the pillar, either eating solid food, drinking wine, or taking out their weapons to clean them.
The moonlight was like water, and they could see each other's faces.
A handsome young man raised the wine bag, drank a few swigs, exhaled happily, and sighed: "This master's family is really weird. He insists on waiting until noon tomorrow to enter the city, even though he has to go to the city gate.
Already."
"This is not strange." A middle-aged man shook his head: "Such a big thing should be the pillar. We must pay attention to time. Entering the city at an auspicious time is very important."
"Is tomorrow noon an auspicious time?"
"Generally speaking, Yang Qi is at its strongest at noon, so no evil or evil things will be brought in."
"Hey, some people really believe this."
"Xiao Guo, don't believe it." The middle-aged man said solemnly: "We have traveled all over the country, what have we not seen? Sometimes we would rather believe it."
"Yes, what Hall Master Huang said is absolutely true."
The handsome young man obviously didn't believe it, but he wouldn't openly contradict the hall master.
Hall Master Huang saw him like this and shook his head helplessly.
Young people are all like this. There are some things that you will never understand if you don’t experience them. There are some hardships that you won’t know until you experience them. It’s useless to persuade them.
