Chapter 423 The mantis stalks the cicada

In the middle of the night, a cool breeze blows from the vast waters, bringing a sense of silence to the strangeness of Tiangang Island.

Fu Xuanxing sat quietly among a group of cousins.

While holding a wake for his grandfather, he struggled to recall the memory he had lost.

But this time passed, and he still couldn't remember how he met his grandfather in the afternoon.

He couldn't remember what happened after entering Tiankui Pavilion.

The only thing I can recall completely is that after Fu Henghua entered the Yangxin Hall, he and Fang Dongyuan were chatting outside.

"Who can take away the memories of me and my adopted brother without knowing it?"

Fu Xuanxing lowered his head and thought hard, but he didn't know that a colorful poisonous spider was slowly crawling on the beam above his head.

Green claw spider.

One of the most venomous demon spiders in Donglai Shenzhou. One of the seven spider mothers in Yizhou, this is the true form.

The poisonous spider concealed its aura, and no one in the hall noticed it. It approached Fu Xuanxing quietly, spitting out its poisonous threads bit by bit.



"Brother Fang, as you said, they did take action."

Fang Dongyuan took Hong Changyi and watched him outside.

An Jingcheng glanced here and continued drinking tea with other guests.

The guests gathered together not to keep vigil for the head of the Fu family, but because a Nascent Soul Grandmaster had died on the island for no apparent reason. Everyone was in panic, and the Fu family refused to allow the guests to leave at this time on the grounds that the matter had not been clarified.

To avoid being tricked themselves, comrades from all walks of life gathered together to protect themselves.

After all, we are all monks, so it is normal to go several days without eating, drinking or sleeping. We can simply get together to chat and discuss Taoism.

Hong Changyi and Fu Xuanxing have also been friends for a long time. Hearing that Fu Xuanxing was in an awkward situation in the Fu family and that his cousins ​​might secretly create difficulties, he responded to Fang Dongyuan's request and protected him together.

Seeing the poisonous spider on the beam, when Hong Changyi was about to do something, Fang Dongyuan held his wrist and shook his head gently.

"Those people have done bad things, so of course they will be punished!"

He drew circles with his fingers and secretly cast a spell, and the poisonous spider on the beam was wrapped in purple air. The next moment, it was forcibly returned to its owner.

The Fu family disciple shook his shoulders and looked around quickly. Several brothers nearby also noticed that something was wrong, and they straightened their postures one by one, pretending that nothing had happened.

At this moment, the poisonous spider suddenly went crazy and bit the owner's palm fiercely.

"ah--"

The man jumped up in pain and quickly shook off the poisonous spider from his palm.

"Brother, hurry up, help me take the antidote in my arms."

The poison spread from the palms of the hands, and most of the body was numb.

The brothers nearby knew how ferocious the "Green Clawed Golden Spider" was and quickly gave him medicine.

But just as he reached into his robe to get the medicine, the brother who was taking the medicine also let out a scream. A hundred-footed centipede covered with fire patterns emerged from his arms, and then the poisonous bag fell to the ground, and densely packed poisonous insects attacked the surrounding people.

Climb on your body.

"Everyone, be careful!"

"Lao Ba, why did your poison bag break?"

The screams continued, and the uninformed Fu family disciples beside them quickly got up and dodge.

"quiet!"

The older brothers who were keeping vigil in front stood up one after another and saw a small opening in the poison bag, with poisonous insects crawling out of it.

Fu Danyu's eyes narrowed: "Who allowed you to take the Poison Bag to the mourning hall?"

Death of the body is yin, and poisonous insects are also yin.

According to Feng Shui theory, poisons should not come into contact with corpses to avoid conflict between yin and qi.

"I--"

The Fu family wanted to explain, but the poison eroded the five internal organs, and he couldn't even finish his words at the moment.

He was trembling all over, and the brother next to him quickly fed him the elixir.

However--

"No, it's impossible. How could my Jade Spirit Pill be ineffective?"

The young man's eyes were horrified, and he felt that the poison was eroding his heart veins bit by bit.

In the past, I was accidentally bitten by poisonous insects, but I always relied on this treasure pill to treat it!

After Fu Danyu and several brothers nearby gave instructions, everyone worked together to mobilize the strong wind to collect the poisonous insects.

Picking up the torn poison bag again, Fu Danyu snorted loudly: "Is this how your Tianan Pavilion keeps vigil for your grandfather?"

"Brother, considering this is his first offender."

"First offender? Why, he plans to do it a second time? My grandfather buried his soul, is it possible that he can do it a second time?"

The movement in the mourning hall attracted the attention of guests outside.

Fu Danyu didn't want to make any publicity, so he sent everyone in Tian'an Pavilion to put away the bag of poisons and carry the young man back to detoxify him.

Hong Changyi and Fang Dongyuan hid in the darkness and saw Fu Xuanxing glance at the group of people in Tiannan Pavilion, and then continued to sit quietly on their knees.

"This kid is really heartless. It's hard for us to protect him secretly - but Brother Fang is very ruthless. Are those people okay?"

"I didn't do it."

Fang Dongyuan stared at the glass cover.

While everyone was panicking to deal with the poisonous insects, a crystal butterfly flew silently into the glass cover and inspected the body of the head of the Fu family.

"That girl, even if you vent your anger on Fu Xuanxing, you don't have to be so cruel."

Fu Tongjun is good at poisonous poison. When Tian An Pavilion planned to use poisonous spiders to assassinate Fu Xuanxing, he took away the control of poisonous spiders first and turned back on the owner.

In addition, she took advantage of the man's panic and put her own poison into his arms, biting open the Poison Bag, causing a commotion among the Poisons.

When everyone was paying attention to the poisonous insects causing trouble, Fu Tongjun successfully obtained a little bit of the Fu family master's sebum from the glass cover.

Fang Dongyuan asked Hong Changyi to continue watching, and he chased Jingdie to Liuyuntai.

Liuyuntai at night is even more charming than during the day.

Fireflies dance in the fog, like dim lights.

On the high platform, the "man" put away the crystal butterfly and carefully held up the "sebum" with a chip as thin as a cicada's wings. Then a one-eyed toad jumped onto his shoulder, connecting his field of vision with Mr. Fu Tong.

In the field of vision of the one-eyed Yin Toad, the sebum gradually enlarged, and densely packed Tiangang runes appeared.

This is the secret inside the monk.

This is also summarized by Fu Tongjun after studying the human body for many years.

Some regularly arranged structures can be seen in the sebum of mortals, but there are no "dao runes" in their bodies.

[The book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, the Changyuan app! It is so easy to use. I rely on this to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here. huanyuanapp ]

Only when cultivators refine their bodies step by step, mana baptizes the body, and "traces of the Tao" appear on the body, will "talismans" emerge one after another in the tiny structures of the human body.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Through the runes of the avenue, you can understand the monk's own path.

"Judging from the amount of Tao Yun and the intensity of sebum..."

The tentacles of the crystal butterfly have been broken off. Obviously, it is not easy to intercept sebum from a master.

"How's your check going?"

Fang Dongyuan walked up to Liuyuntai in the evening breeze, looked at "Fu Xiangfeng" and said, "You played your third brother, what did you find out?"

Seeing Fang Dongyuan, Fu Tongjun was not surprised: "I can be sure that the person in the glass cover is indeed the head of the Fu family."

"So, do you rule out the possibility of suspended animation?"

"From this sebum observation, the 'Tao Yun' on his body is gradually heading towards death. It means that he is indeed dead."

"Just a gradual death? Didn't he die during the day?"

"The monk's physical body is full of vitality, unless his life span is over. Otherwise, in the state of sudden death, the Tao charm contained in the physical body will dissipate little by little. This process will last for a period of time - you know that if you put the fish and shrimp in the pot for cooking just after death, the body will still be

Beating, right? Similar principle."

The soul leaves the body, the heart stops, and the brain stops functioning.

However, the remaining vitality of the physical body still maintains the activity of the "Dao Rune". Only when all the vitality disappears, the Dao Rune will become silent. At this time, the physical body will still not corrupt.

This is also the reason why many monks' bodies remain incorruptible for hundreds or thousands of years after their death - the Tao still exists within their bodies.

Only if the avenue runes further collapse, destroy, and eventually become nothing, will the monk's body completely disappear. This process takes hundreds or thousands of years.

"Henghua uses the 'Returning Yang Seal' to ensure that the Tao's charm is immortal and that its vitality is still maintaining the operation of the Tao."

Fu Tongjun explained and thought at the same time.

The life force in Master Fu's body drained much slower than she expected.

In addition to the Yang-Returning Seal specially made by Fu Henghua, perhaps the "Blood Demon Slash" also helped the Master of the Fu family slow down the loss of vitality due to an accidental collision?

In this case, as long as the coffin is properly sealed within seven days, the physical body can still retain a large part of the mana and vitality.

"That guy made a blind move—hey, he just got himself under suspicion."

Fang Dongyuan shook his head when he thought about returning Yangyin.

If the first scene was destroyed, everyone would be suspicious of him.

Thanks to the protection of the "Spiritual Tribulation Cave", no one in the Fu family dared to push too hard.

"Tell me, was it accidental or intentional that he destroyed the scene?"

"It doesn't matter, I will find the truth anyway. Just in time, you are here -"

Fu Tongjun turned to mention one thing.

"I'm looking for the four pillars of the Four Elephant Square. If you have nothing to do, please help me."

"Four Symbols and Four Directions--is it really banned? No wonder I can't use the art of returning to the moon. What's the range?"

"The entire Tiankui Pavilion," Fu Tongjun stamped his feet, "I drew a circle and searched within this circle. I found that Liuyuntai happened to be one of them."

Fang Dongyuan closed his eyes, and a golden mark appeared on the Yintang point on his forehead.

Like a spiritual eye, the golden light scanned the entire Liuyuntai.

"Nothing. I don't see anything out of the ordinary here—wait!"

Fang Dongyuan observed carefully for a while and said to Lord Fu Tong: "Do you have any spiritual-devouring Gu insects on hand? Eat the clouds and spiritual energy attached to Liuyuntai. There may be something underground here."

After some tinkering, the two found three formation disks for hiding and covering from the base of Liuyuntai, as well as a white jade amber set in the center of the triple formation disk.

Seeing this tiger-shaped jade article, Fang Dongyuan had a subtle expression on his face.

"This thing is not something today." He had seen similar things among his father's belongings.

Mr. Fu Tong subconsciously said: "The ritual of Dragon Residence."

Dongfang Yunqi has been collecting information on the Divine Vein Civilization over the years and discovered that that civilization has a special sacrificial rule.

Green Gui stands in the east, white amber stands in the west, red seal stands in the south, and Xuanhuang stands in the north. Together with the yellow jade cong, it coincides with the etiquette of the five directions and five elements.

"Since Liuyuntai has this, it should also be in the other three places. Let's go look for it. If the formation is lifted, at least we can use the technique of Hui Shuo to explore what happened during the day."

The two started taking action.

Soon, a red seal was dug out from a pile of rocks in the south.

But the remaining two things have not been found yet.

When the sky lights up, Fang Dongyuan goes back to meet Fu Xuanxing, and Fu Tongjun continues to walk around Tiankui Pavilion.

"The people who made the secret plan were too strict in hiding."

Fu Tongjun thought about drawing the positions of the other two points according to the "positive angle and moment phase". But after calculation, he found that the other two points did not match up at all.

Suddenly, a Gu insect flew over from a distance.

She quickly looked up and saw the morning light shining on the mountain path, and the sounds of cries coming one after another in the forest.

Three figures are heading towards Guantian Cliff along the Tiangang Star Road.

"Why did they get out?"

Futongjun immediately changed back to his original appearance.

Although it is inconvenient, it is better than making a "real or fake Fuxiangfeng" incident.



On the jade steps of Tiangang Pavilion, Fu Henghua, Fu Xiangfeng and Fu Yaozhen strolled forward.

The jade-stairs star road depicts various constellations and stars, and Fu Yaozhen is quite immersed in seeing them.

Sudden--

Henghua stopped, paused and looked down the mountain.

"What's wrong?"

Fu Xiangfeng, who was clearing the way in front, turned around.

"I saw an acquaintance land on the island."

"Is there anyone else coming at this time? Are the Fu family willing to let people in?"

Fu Xiangfeng looked toward the ferry, and was stunned when he saw a merchant ship.

"Isn't this - Yulei Trading Company? Are they related to the Fu family?"

"All the acquaintances gathered together."

Fu Henghua cooed and pulled his brother and sister to the "Guantian Cliff" behind Tiangang Pavilion.

This is one of the famous sights of Tiangang Island, and it was also the first shooting stop for Zhu Yumei and his wife after landing on the island.

The sun rises in the east, and standing on the Guantian Cliff you can see a few fishing boats sailing on the water.

Rumor has it that the previous generation of the Fu family head watched the stars here and evolved a Thirty-six Heavenly Gang Formation.

Watching the sunrise here, Fu Xiangfeng was a little disappointed.

Compared to my own Panlong Island, this place is a bit farther from the East China Sea.

With the cold wind blowing, he asked his younger brother beside him: "Xiao Liu'er, what do you want to do if you have to drag us out?"

"Early this morning, I felt that I had an opportunity on Tiangang Island, which might be related to my future enlightenment."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liar.

Facing the wind, Fu Yaozhen looked at him with disdain.

At first, the two didn't believe it.

But looking at Fu Henghua's extremely serious eyes and using Shenluo Tianshu to calculate the fortunes of everyone on Tiangang Island, the two of them gradually became shaken.

Fu Yaozhen raised his eyebrows and asked: "Path? Which path?"

"Nature is the avenue of creation. I can feel that there is something here that will help me."

Good fortune?

Fu Yaozhen felt a little at ease.

"Otherwise, for me, this is the only way to enlightenment, right?"

That's not necessarily the case.

Fu Yaozhen thought silently.

Of those weird ideas of yours, which one didn’t work?

Of course, Fu Yaozhen has never seen the future of the Avenue of Creation.

Because the path of the Book of Creation is far more difficult than the simple and quick path of the Demon Emperor or the brutal and terrifying Evil Emperor path. She is looking at various futures. Even in the future where others become Demon Emperors, Fu Henghua still exists and walks in the future.

On the righteous path of the Immortal Family, there is no path that leads to the "Book of Creation".

The Taixuan Sect leader has it, the descendants of the Zihuang have it, the self-opened Earth Evil Dao Tong has it, the Five Elements Dao has it, and the inherited "Yi Tian Ba ​​Ji Shu" has it, but there is no Creation Dao.

Henghua looked down the mountain, and the steward Fu Longnian went to the ferry to greet Yin Yanqing in person.

He suddenly asked: "Third brother, sister, do you think the person who killed Senior Fu is still on the island?"

Fu Yaozhen immediately said: "The Fu family has blocked the water area, so it is logical that they can't escape. But since the masters are dead, they may have managed to break through the Tiangang Star Realm and leave. In short, it has nothing to do with us, you just stay calm and let Fu

Mr. Tong went to check. If he found it, he would be happy. If he couldn’t find it, it would be destiny."

Henghua looked to the sky.

The light mask between tangible and intangible covers the entire Tiangang Island and nearby waters.

As soon as he learned of the death of the Master of the Fu family, Master Tianxian ordered people to open the "Star Boundary".

"Tiangang Star Realm" is analogous to the "Spirit Realm Techniques" of various schools in the Yanlong East Region.

Taking the Thirty-Six Stars Pavilion on Tiangang Island as the source, a Tiangang Dao Domain is spread across thousands of miles of water.

Within the scope of this Dao realm, Fu Henghua cannot escape easily.

Therefore, Fu Yunrou secretly sent everyone off the island in return.

Henghua secretly thought: Even if that person is proficient in the art of Tiangang and his Taoism is far better than mine. But if he wants to escape from the "Tiangang Star Realm" silently, he is afraid it will not be enough. In terms of defensive power alone, the star realm is no less than a calamity.

Immortals cast spells.

This is the accumulation of thousands of years of spiritual power on Tiangang Island, and the foundation of the Fu family. Henghua estimates that even if his grandfather comes, he will not be able to break it.

Fu Xiangfeng agreed with Fu Yaozhen and said, "Don't bother, let Mr. Tong check it out. What we can do at the moment is to ensure that the Fu family can transition as smoothly as possible. After all, the Fu family has a population of one million, and most of them are

Innocent people.”

Hearing the hidden meaning of Fu Xiangfeng's words, Henghua immediately turned to Fu Yaozhen.

"Look, you are still planning to stop me. I think you should pay more attention to the third brother. His temper is afraid that he will get involved and interfere with the Fu family's housework. What, can you stop the civil war in the Fu family?

Are you planning to support Fu Xuanxing as the head of the family?"

Looking at the eyes of his younger brothers and sisters, he leaned toward the wind and looked at the rear of Tiangang Island.

The star pavilions are towering and shining brightly.

"Didn't you hear it at night? There was crying over there."

Crying?

The younger siblings looked at each other.

Illusion?

Has he been tricked?

Someone set him up?

Just guessing?

The two made eye contact, only to hear Fu Xiangfeng continue: "I was meditating and suddenly saw the scene of three Yuanying masters fighting, and the Fu family was bleeding like a river.

"At first, I thought it was because of inner demons, but after careful inspection, I found that someone should have sent me a message using the 'Heart Seal Technique'.

"In that scene, I saw that except for the Fu family, all the servants and islanders on the island died violently. I have been on the island for a few days and I have not seen any mortals on Tiangang Island. Logically speaking, such a huge island

Population, it is impossible for them not to support mortals to serve them.”

"..."

The two of them understood what Fu Xiangfeng was talking about.

All mortals on Tiangang Island died, and more than once.

Therefore, the Fu family currently does not place mortals on Tiangang Island to avoid the third destruction.

"Third brother thinks that someone has let you see the Fu family's experience in the previous civil war and hopes that you will come forward to prevent the third civil war?"

"Maybe? But maybe it's just me who has a whim. Sister, keep an eye on this kid. I'm going to take a look inside the depths of Tiangang Island in the next few days."

They both frowned.

Fu Yaozhen hesitated to speak, but Henghua laughed:

"Go, since Third Brother wants to do it, then go ahead."

Henghua immediately raised his hand to draw a talisman and seal to protect Fu Xiangfeng.

Seeing this, Fu Yaozhen also played the zither and played music to bless Fu Xiangfeng.

What lies deep in Tiangang Island?

The person who called Fu Xiangfeng to stop the civil war may not be a human being. However, if it is really the person he guessed, the third brother is lucky.

Although Fu Yaozhen was dissatisfied, he acquiesced to Fu Xiangfeng's actions.

In all the futures she glimpsed, the third brother's choice was always the same: to act righteously and uphold the right path.

This is the way he practices. Not to mention the two of them, even in that kind of future, countless calamities and disasters cannot stop him.

Even if the Demon Emperor comes in person and threatens him with his life, he will only choose to sacrifice his life to defend his way.

Although there are thousands of people, I will go.



At the urging of his younger brothers and sisters, Fu Xiangfeng turned into a gust of wind and flew into the mountains.

Fu Yaozhen sighed: "None of you can worry."

"A man who went to the Golden Saint Palace to cause divine punishment has the right to criticize us? Look at me, I am such a good boy and I have never taken the initiative to provoke my enemies."

Fu Yaozhen subconsciously retorted, but thought about it carefully.

It seems that Fu Henghua really doesn't have any enemies outside.

Those who spied on his life were either responsible for the debts left by his parents, or other people implicated Fu Henghua. He himself seemed to have caused no trouble.

Even if someone came to provoke him, most of them were turned into friends by Henghua and became harmonious.

"Tell me, what's the current situation of the totem spirit?"

"The situation is not good, but since we can call Third Brother for help, we should still have some strength left."

Seeing Fu Yaozhen's disapproving eyes, Henghua explained: "It's useless for you to stop me. The third brother's way is just like that of his grandfather. There are some things that once he saw them and forced him not to touch them, it actually happened.

Hindering the Taoist mind.

"Anyway, if you and I are here, nothing will happen to my third brother. Even if he dies, I can bring him back."

Looking at the wind that had dissipated, Henghua said with emotion: "The third brother's righteousness is sometimes the focus of trouble."

Seeing such an upright person, "someone" is naturally willing to take a gamble.

"However, it is precisely his character and style that allows him to accumulate such righteousness."
