"Princess, tell me, what's the matter?" Fakong said, "No one can hear me."
Xu Miaoru smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, it's also a troublesome matter."
"oh--?"
"...Hey, I'll just say it directly, no more beating around the bush!" Xu Miaoru stamped her lotus feet.
Fakong nodded: "Princess, just say what you have to say."
"Actually, the sixteenth princess had a strange disease, so..."
"Princess?"
"Princess Sixteen." Xu Miaoru nodded lightly: "She is as old as Ningyu, but she has always been delicate due to the disease caused by her mother's womb."
Fakong frowned.
If it's a princess, I can still stretch out my hand, but if it's a princess, then I have to think carefully.
The risk is too great.
After everything is cured, it's easy to say, hello to me, hello to everyone, and everyone will be happy.
But what if it can’t be cured?
Everything in this world is unexpected.
He couldn't guarantee that there would be no accidents when he cast the rejuvenation spell. What if Zhenji had a problem, or even died instead of being cured?
He couldn't even hide back to Kongang Temple, so he could only escape to Dayong or Dayun.
"Her body was originally weak, but not long ago, she contracted a strange disease. Every night, she felt like she was falling into an ice cellar, almost freezing her to death. She was in so much pain that she felt like she was being tortured in the eighteenth level of hell.
.”
"Alas..." Xu Miaoru sighed: "She is already weak, so how could she withstand such a torment. If the palace doctor hadn't used heavenly materials and earthly treasures to increase her energy and protect her heart, I would have long ago..."
Fakong said: "Isn't it poisoning?"
"No." Xu Miaoru shook her head and said, "The imperial doctors diagnosed that it was due to the Sixteenth Princess practicing martial arts privately."
"Um--?"
"Princess, she secretly went into the secret vault of the Forbidden Palace to read a martial arts manual, and practiced secretly to strengthen her body, but she ended up destroying herself."
"What about abolishing martial arts?"
"It's useless." Xu Miaoru shook her head: "The strange skills she practices are weird. Even if they are useless, they will be back to the original state in a day."
"What if we abolish it again?"
"Originally, it was like this. It was destroyed as soon as it was restored, but it recovered faster and faster. Until now, it was restored as soon as it was disabled, and it had no effect."
"There are also such amazing skills..." Fakong smiled and said: "It seems to be an extraordinary martial arts mentality."
"What kind of ordinary thoughts are hidden in the secret vault of the Forbidden Palace?" Xu Miaoru shook her head: "The Emperor is very fond of Princess Sixteen. Because she lost her mother when she was young, she has been raised by the Empress. The Empress loves Princess Sixteen.
The princess is better than Prince Yi, and can be said to be the apple of his eye. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to secretly enter the secret vault of the forbidden palace."
"The emperor and queen love you so much, so you must be even more careful." Fakong said.
Before he saves others, he will first think about whether they are worth saving.
He is not that enthusiastic about saving people.
I have always held the view that everyone has his or her own destiny, and I am just a mediocre person, not a savior. I just need to take care of myself, and there is no need to worry about others.
"You have to be careful." Xu Miaoru nodded lightly.
Based on her understanding of Fa Kong, she knew that Fa Kong was not willing to take action because it would be very troublesome.
We already have the title of Dharma Master and the support of the plaque in the emperor's handwriting. We can live a leisurely life, so why bother asking for trouble?
After curing the princess, no matter how great the reward is, it is just to add another level of honorific title, be added as Dharma King, and be rewarded with some treasures.
But for Fakong, the difference between Dharma King and Dharma Master is not that big. He is not interested in power and does not like the disturbance of worldly affairs.
"Who is the princess entrusted by?" Fakong said: "It can't be the prince, right?"
"……yes."
"Your Highness is really..." Fakong said helplessly.
"Princess Sixteen has always been very kind to the prince, and the brother-sister relationship is deep, so..." Xu Miaoru said helplessly: "The prince originally thought that the imperial doctors could solve the problem, and even the worshipers were all medical experts, but after several days of delay, there was still no progress.
He really couldn't bear his sister to suffer that kind of hellish torture, so he thought of you, Master."
The prince has been unpopular in the palace since he was a child, even after he returned to the palace after becoming a general, the sixteenth princess admired and liked him very much. She followed him like a little tail all day long, giving him great warmth.
So the brother and sister have a very good relationship.
"Your Majesty, care will lead to chaos." Fakong shook his head and said: "I don't want to think about the key points in this. The Sixteenth Princess does not want me to treat her. This is because the fate is not enough and cannot be forced."
If the sixteenth princess really wanted to seek treatment from her, why didn't the emperor and empress send an internal prison to come over?
He didn't believe that the emperor didn't know about his rejuvenation spell. He probably knew it better than anyone else, but he didn't order him to take action.
Do you want to force yourself to treat the sixteenth princess?
People are dying all the time in the world, some from accidents and some from illness. Is it possible for me to save everyone?
Even if I am not a Bodhisattva, I cannot save everyone in the world. I can only save those who are destined to save me.
Like the sixteenth princess, the so-called fate is not enough.
"The prince wants to bring the sixteenth princess to the palace, and then the master will take action to cure her."
"Who knows what?" Fakong laughed.
"……yes."
"The prince is really naive sometimes..." Fakong said rudely: "I don't want to think about the consequences."
This is wanton behavior.
I don’t even think about whether the emperor will be angry or whether the queen will be angry.
"My lord, that's how he is. He attaches too much importance to love and will ignore it just for the sake of love." Xu Miaoru said embarrassedly.
She also felt that this was too reckless, but the prince was determined to cure the sixteenth princess as soon as possible and could not bear the sixteenth princess to be tortured again.
"I don't care about my life." Fakong shook his head helplessly.
No wonder he was recalled to Shenjing after becoming a partial general. He was really not a general and would have killed too many people.
Compassion does not lead to troops, and a person who attaches too much importance to love and justice is not suitable for being a general. Once he gets excited, he loses his cool and easily falls into a trap.
I really don’t know how he got all these achievements.
It is estimated that only by relying on intuition, amazing intuition, can he survive on the battlefield and achieve repeated military exploits.
"Master...?" Xu Miaoru looked pleading: "Why don't you fulfill the brother-sister relationship for the prince?"
Fakong sighed: "Princess, you are also following the prince's confusion. Please let the prince sober up. If you really want me to take action, then recommend it to the emperor. It depends on the emperor's decision. Don't make rash claims and anger the emperor. He still finds it troublesome.
not enough?"
"Grandmaster……"
"...That's all." Fakong shook his head and said, "Take the sixteenth princess to the palace first, and I will see if it can be cured from a distance. If it can be cured, I will report it to the emperor. If it cannot be cured, then forget it."
"In this way..." Xu Miaoru pondered.
Fakong said: "This matter must be reported to the Emperor Ming first, and then I will take action with the Emperor's permission. Otherwise, after saving the Sixteenth Princess, you will never see me in Shenjing."
The sixteenth princess's condition should not be at a critical stage yet, otherwise, the emperor would definitely seek medical treatment randomly, and he would definitely let himself try.
"Okay." Xu Miaoru gritted her teeth.
Watching Xu Miaoru wander away, Fakong paced on the lotus pond with his hands behind his back, looking towards the direction of the Forbidden Palace.
The outside of the Forbidden Palace was shrouded by an invisible force, like fog and smoke, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.
I really don’t know if these sixteen princesses have gone crazy, or were poisoned, or if they have anything to do with the Kunshan Holy Cult.
——
In the evening, the sun sets.
Fakong had just finished eating when Li Ying arrived.
Fa Kong waved his sleeves.
Xu Qingluo and the others left reluctantly.
There were only Fakong and Li Ying in the yard.
Li Ying pursed her red lips tightly, took out a rosewood box the size of a ring box from her sleeves, placed it on the stone table, and gently pushed it to Fakong.
Fakong smiled and shook his head: "I want four."
Li Ying frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Aren't two pills enough?"
Fakong shook his head: "Not enough."
"Is it too much?" Li Ying was dissatisfied: "I brought four pills, but I want to increase it to six pills?"
Fakong said: "I originally wanted six, but then I thought about it, we are old friends, so I will suffer a little loss."
"Ha!" Li Ying laughed angrily.
Fakong said calmly: "Who do you think I am, Young Master Li? To take advantage of the situation and add insult to injury? Or to go back on my word?"
"Is not it?"
Fakong said: "If I tell you, I'm sure Young Master Li will feel that four pills are missing and even six pills are not enough!"
Li Ying frowned and stared at him closely.
Dharma is empty and calm.
"...Okay, four is four!" Li Ying hummed: "This is the last one, there are no more relics."
Fa Kong smiled and nodded.
Li Ying took out another purple box from Luo Xiu, the size was exactly the same as before, put it on the stone table and pushed it gently.
Two purple boxes side by side.
Fakong has already seen the four relics in the purple box through his mind's eye. They are of different colors, including light yellow, red, dark green, and lavender.
Fa Kong was very curious.
The light yellow color of the relics was normal. He had never seen the other three colors, but they definitely looked like relics.
"Can we talk now?"
"Well, Young Master Li, you are going to die in ten days," Fakong replied happily: "What I saw is that you are dead."
Li Ying stared into his eyes.
Fakong smiled and said, "Don't believe it?"
"...Xin." Li Ying said slowly: "By whose hands did I die?"
"A disciple of the Holy Cult of Kunshan has used the Jade Blood Transformation Technique." Fakong said: "You think you can see through the disciples of the Holy Cult of Kunshan, but don't you know that the disciples of the Holy Cult of Kunshan don't just practice one kind of mental method."
Li Ying frowned: "A disciple of Kunshan Holy Cult?"
"The location is in a mountain." Fakong said, "I guess he was lured out of Shenjing."
As he spoke, he suddenly pointed out something.
The index finger touched Li Ying's eyebrow like a sword.
Before Li Ying had time to react, Fakong's left index finger had already touched the space between her dark eyebrows. The tentacle was as delicate and pliable as mutton-fat white jade.
This finger uses the newly practiced swordsmanship, which is extremely fast.
Li Ying cursed secretly, and a picture suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
In the picture, she was stepping on a withered yellow bamboo branch with her toes, swaying gently in the wind. A handsome middle-aged man in front of her suddenly exploded with a "bang" and turned into a blood mist that swept her instantly.
The blood mist ignored her body-protecting aura, and she was covered in blood. She closed her eyes and fell softly. She fell into the bamboo forest with a "bang" and lay motionless among the withered bamboo leaves. She died from exhaustion.
Fakong retracted his index finger and looked at her calmly.
Li Ying slowly opened her eyes.
Fa Kong smiled: "How does it feel to see yourself die?"
Li Ying's starry eyes flashed and her face was calm.
"If you could be sure that he was a disciple of the Kunshan Holy Cult, you would be on guard and you could avoid it with your physical skills. But you didn't expect that he was a disciple of the Kunshan Holy Cult, right?" Fakong said.
Li Ying remained silent and shook her head.
Fakong smiled and said, "You recognize this person, right?"
Li Ying looked at him.
Fakong said: "A disciple of Cantian Dao? I didn't expect him to be a disciple of Kunshan Holy Cult, right?"
Li Ying remained silent.
This scene gave her a strong impact.
But she really didn't want to say that she recognized this person. He was her uncle, the uncle who had watched her grow up since childhood.
Others may be traitors, but how could Master Qian be possible!
