Chapter 248 Three Pill Recipes and a Sea Monster (4.2k)
Shaoxing Prison.
The disgusting musty and stinky smell floated in the dark and damp space.
Cao Jinxing sat with his legs crossed on a grand master's chair in the middle of the corridor. On the left was Regulus XIV squatting on the ground next to him. On the right was a square table, on which was the latest military report that Fan Zikun had just sent.
There is also a small reddish-brown falcon that is eating pork belly as if no one else is watching - it is the spiritual vulture "Yinghuo" that has just changed from a free-range state to being raised at home.
Cao Jinxing reached out and stroked Shi Shi's head, looking across the three cells in front of him.
Ibis, Kitahara Ryusei, Wu Shixun.
All three of them had their limbs tied with iron chains and hung up. Some of them were ashen and others had cold faces.
There were constant yamen carrying large boxes in front of Cao Jinxing. In the blink of an eye, there were three full boxes. The rich aroma of vegetation wafted out from the gaps in the boxes. A gentle sniff made me feel relaxed and happy...
"Sir, they are all here."
A government official said respectfully.
"Open."
Cao Jin walked on the plain road.
"yes."
The yamen servant quickly stepped forward and pried open the boxes one by one. The rich fragrance rushed to his face - inside were very precious natural materials and earthly treasures, thousand-year-old ginseng, hundreds-of-year-old Shouwu, Ganoderma lucidum, Tai Sui, and all kinds of other things.
There are countless spiritual plants, and without exception, they are all rare treasures that can improve your skills and prolong your life!
"Haha, there's a lot of searching..."
Cao Jinxing glanced at it and sneered.
The yamen servant swallowed quietly and stepped back respectfully.
Looking at the pile of treasures, Regulus XIV and Ying Huo's eyes lit up. The three people in the prison had different expressions. Killing intent flashed in Beiyuan Dragon Saint's eyes!
"There's no rush yet."
Cao Jinxing smiled, patted Fourteen, and said to the Yamen servant: "Leave a clerk to record the confession. Everyone else will go down."
"yes."
The yamen officer took the order, leaving behind the personal entourage sent by Fan Zikun to help, and quickly walked out of the cell with the others.
The attendant sat down at the table at the end of the corridor, laid out the paper, and picked up a pen to take notes.
Cao Jinxing first used "Fire Charm Technique" to give the man a psychological suggestion and asked him to record the truth. Then he turned his attention to Beiyuan Long Sheng in the middle cell and said, "Why are you searching for these things?"
Beiyuan Long Sheng had no expression on his face and remained motionless, pretending that he didn't hear anything.
The ibis nearby quietly pricked up its ears.
Wu Shixun sneered.
"oh?"
Cao Jinxing raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu Shixun: "Why are you laughing?"
Wu Shixun sneered and said: "Master Cao has such great official authority! I have searched through the Ming Dynasty Laws. Is there any article that prohibits me from laughing?"
He stared at Cao Jinxing with deep jealousy in his eyes.
"..."
Cao Jinxing was surprised: This man either wanted to die, or he was sure that he did not dare to kill... Who gave him the confidence?
"interesting."
Cao Jinxing smiled: "Are you related to the royal family?"
Wu Shixun was stunned: "No."
"Then what are you pretending to be?!"
Cao Jinxing's face suddenly darkened, and he slapped Wu Shixun in the face with a slap. The invisible wind turned into his palm and slapped Wu Shixun hard on the face!
The huge force of the whip made his neck deflect 90 degrees, all the teeth in his mouth were knocked out, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth...
"you……"
Wu Shixun felt the true energy and was horrified. How could he be at the peak of Tongyou? How could he be at the peak of Tongyou?!
This is different from the rumors.
Didn't Wan Heqing take a fancy to him and send him to his door?
Wu Shixun was possessed by the "Fire Charm Technique". From the time he was cast by Wan Heqing to the time he was finally escorted to prison, he was completely confused. Most of his knowledge of Cao Jinxing was based on rumors.
The problem is that the rumors cannot keep up with the changes in Cao Jinxing's strength. Half a month ago, he was still at the sixth level of Tongyou - although he could kill the peak of Tongyou at that time, but now he has reached the third level again in just ten days!
This is really incredible!
What's more, behind Ibis is Luo Longwen, and behind Luo Longwen is Yan Shifan - he is the most valued staff member of the Yan family and his son, and he is extremely favored!
Supporting Yan Shifan means supporting the entire Yan Party.
And Zhejiang has long been the territory of the strict Party. It is a piece of iron from top to bottom, and everything that is black can be said to be white.
Even Hu Zongxian, the governor-general of Zhejiang Province, was promoted by the senior Yan Ge and was a proper "Strict Party", not to mention the others?
A mere Jinyiwei, even with the title of Thirteen Taibao, is only of the fifth rank. How dare he challenge the whole of Zhejiang!
He always thought that Cao Jinxing didn't know all this and didn't know who he was messing with, but now it seems... the situation is not good!
"you……"
Wu Shixun felt unexpected.
"What the hell are you! I kill Yan Song's people all the same, but Luo Longwen, a member of Zhongshushe, still dares to be so arrogant?"
Cao Jinxing narrowed his eyes and said leisurely: "Don't worry, I'm watching. Anyone who speaks for you is a Tongwa! There is one person in Zhejiang, and no one can do it! Even if it's Hu Butang, I will do the same.
Correct!"
Cao Jinxing's words echoed inside and outside the prison. The hearts of the three people instantly sank to the bottom of the valley, and cold sweat poured out.
"Now, answer my question!"
Cao Jinxing's eyes glowed red. He looked at Ibis first and said word by word: "Who asked you to hide the Japanese pirates? Tell me!"
The last word is deafening!
Zhu Lu was an ink-making businessman, and his martial arts skills were ordinary. How could he withstand Cao Jinxing's will to kill embryos rolled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood? As soon as he finished speaking, his whole body trembled, his eyes became blank and numb, and he did not hesitate at all.
, said directly: "It's Luo Longwen!"
Cao Jinxing was not surprised at all: "Why?"
Ibis shook his head and whispered: "I don't know... Ten days ago, the villain received a secret letter from Luo Longwen, asking me to secretly receive a group of visitors from afar. As long as someone comes with the token [White Jade Tathagata], I will give him whatever he needs...
Five days ago, Beiyuan Longsheng led people to Xuanguizhai while it was dark and showed the [White Jade Tathagata]. Only then did I know that he wanted me to hide the Japanese pirates..."
Cao Jinxing: "Are there any correspondence?"
Ibis continued to shake his head: "Luo Longwen asked to be burned after reading. I dare not not listen..."
It's a pity that Cao Jin went secretly.
Beiyuan Longsheng and Wu Shixun were dumbfounded. Cao Jinxing actually knew the famous magical skill "Fire Charm"?

And his attainments are so high!
So what other secrets do they have? The two of them were nervous and secretly alert.
At this time, Cao Jinxing turned his attention to Beiyuan Longsheng: "Tell me, what is the content of the transaction with Luo Longwen."
"..."
Beiyuan Longsheng didn't dare to look into his eyes at all, lowered his head and gritted his teeth, saying nothing.
"hehe."
Cao Jinxing sneered, Hunyuan Qi suddenly transformed into Cold Toad Qi, gathered at the vocal cords, and shouted in a low voice: "Look at me!"
Just three words, like a bolt from the blue!
"Cold Toad's Mind-Taking Technique"!
Beiyuan Long Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and looked up, and saw those fiery red eyes.
Cao Jinxing: "Say!"
In an instant, Beiyuan Longsheng's consciousness was sucked into the firelight. Looking around, he saw red lotuses everywhere!
He forgot where he was and who was in front of him. He just thought it was his father Hayato Kitahara who was asking the question, and subconsciously replied respectfully: "...Three months ago, 'Living Buddha' Xu Hai discovered a tower on Qiongluo Island in the East China Sea.
According to many investigations, the cave has been confirmed to be the place where Li Shaojun, a stranger from the Western Han Dynasty, made alchemy in his early years. There are three fourth-grade elixir recipes hidden in the cave, namely [Chunyang Golden Pill], [Shenlou Powder] and [Elixir of Youth]...
"
Cao Jinxing was startled and stood up.
Wu Shixun was also shocked.
Elixir?!
That is the magic medicine that can truly extend your life!
Cao Jinxing stared at Beiyuan Long Sheng closely, waiting for his next words.
Beiyuan Longsheng said blankly: "...Xu Hai reached a deal with Luo Longwen with the [elixir] prescription. Zhejiang will secretly open a gap in Wenzhou and Chuzhou and let us in to facilitate this operation of collecting heavenly materials and earthly treasures...
…Before this, we had completed secret searches in Hengzhou, Jinhua, and Yanzhou, and then came to Shaoxing…”
Cao Jinxing's mind suddenly changed.
Allowing Zhejiang to let things go secretly is beyond Luo Longwen's ability.
It's obvious who he represents.
It is also obvious who the [elixir] prescription is for.
"If you want the Yan family to survive, you have to keep Yan Song alive. He is over seventy years old. This is quite a good reason..."
Cao Jinxing carefully recalled all the information and military reports he had read in his mind.
Xu Hai was a monk at Hupao Temple in Hangzhou when he was young. His Dharma name was "Pujing", also known as "Famous Mountain Monk". He was talented and talented, and his Buddhist and martial arts skills were second to none. Therefore, he was taught the unique skills of Hupao Temple. However, under his young and talented appearance,
He had a restless heart. When he was in his early twenties, he couldn't stand the strict rules and precepts, so he started to visit brothels and gambling houses, and eventually became a monk who broke the precepts and was expelled from the temple.
After that, Xu Hai joined his uncle Xu Weixue.
Xu Weixue was a confidant of pirate leader Wang Zhi, and was appointed as the leader of a large fleet under his command, responsible for trade with Japan.
After Xu Hai joined the fleet, he became Wang Zhi's subordinate and learned Japanese from his uncle Xu Wei.
It was also his luck.
Because of the forbidden sea, no monks from the Ming Dynasty have come to Japan for many years. In addition, Xu Hai is extremely talented, powerful in martial arts, and has all kinds of Buddhist teachings at his fingertips. Many Japanese people were deceived and regarded him as a "living Buddha" and became the number one Vajra temple in Japan.
The elder of the sect, Ke Qing, successfully entered the Japanese martial arts forest and coaxed many believers to follow him to build ships and go to sea, plundering treasures from various islands in order to worship the "Buddha".
——In fact, in addition to turning over most of Wang Zhi's military expenses to fight against the imperial court, the rest went into his own belly!
"It stands to reason that the treasures Xu Hai looted in the East China Sea are enough for him, so why send another team to take risks in the Central Plains?"
It is a taboo for military strategists to go deep alone.
Unless he has some last resort or a bigger conspiracy...
Cao Jinxing looked at the three large boxes of treasures and was too lazy to think about it. He directly asked Beiyuan Longsheng the most important question at the beginning: "Why are you searching for these things?"
"is for……"
When Beiyuan Dragon Saint heard this, he subconsciously opened his mouth to say something. Suddenly he frowned and screamed. His whole face was distorted and his forehead was covered with cold sweat!
He is struggling desperately!
Wu Shixun in the cell next to him looked at his painful and miserable expression, and his whole body trembled with fear. Even a proud man like Beiyuan Long Sheng was reduced to a plaything, sinking into a fantasy world and unable to extricate himself. It can be imagined that Cao Jinxing's spiritual will is
How strong and tenacious, and how delicate and real the illusion he weaves is!
Such a person, he just couldn't help but provoke because of Wan Heqing's preference...
Wu Shixun regretted that his intestines were green, and he quickly lowered his head like a quail, hoping that Cao Jinxing could not see him...
"for what!"
Cao Jinxing increased his power, his eyes were like fire, and he continued to ask questions.
"For...ah!
"
Beiyuan Longsheng screamed in pain, and the chains all over his body jingled. He could not hold on for more than half a cup of tea. He was already covered in cold sweat, and his whole body was exhausted, as if he had just been fished out of the river, half dead.
"For...[Niugui]..."
Finally, he said the two most confidential words intermittently. After saying that, his whole person completely turned into a puppet.
"[Niugui]?"
Cao Jinxing frowned: "This seems to be the sea monster in "Hundred Ghosts at Night"... Has it been moved here and used as a 'foreign beast'?"
Cao Jinxing continued to press, and Beiyuan Long Sheng slowly revealed the entire truth.
…
It turns out that although Xu Hai's fleet obtained the three priceless elixir prescriptions on Qiongluo Island in the East China Sea, it also triggered the mechanism and awakened the strange beast that Li Shaojun left to guard the island - one of them had taken the [Elixir of Life]
], a giant monster that is half cow and half octopus and has lived for more than 1,600 years, named [Ox Ghost].
It is as big as a mountain and has infinite power. It can easily stir up the sea and set off tsunamis like a Dharma elephant!
That giant beast chased Xu Hai's fleet wildly, destroying all thirty-eight warships with guns and artillery, and Xu Hai was pissed in the pursuit!
He was about to be killed by a beast, but Xu Hai should not die. On the way to escape, he unexpectedly encountered Fukuda Masaru, the leader of the four major swordsmanship schools in Japan, the first swordsman in Japan, and the head of the Fukuda-ryu family. The surname Fukuda has a long history.
, originally derived from Xu Fu, a scholar under the First Emperor's command, who changed his surname to Futian after he traveled east to Japan, passed down his bloodline, and founded the Futian stream...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Futian is using his superb swordsmanship to cut off the eight claws of the [Ox Demon], and uses the ancestral secret medicine [Lost Heart Pill] to control the giant beast.
Later, he handed [Niu Gui] to his granddaughter Kaoru Fukuda and ordered her to assist Wang Zhi and the Japanese allied forces to lead the army to attack the Ming Dynasty!
[Niugui] has since become the secret weapon of Japanese pirates.
But there is a big problem that comes with it.
——The sleeping [Niugui] does not need food, but the awake Niugui needs a lot of food!
If it is kept free-range, it must be allowed to hunt on its own, which will easily be discovered by enemy ships; but if it is kept in captivity, it must be fed. Now that the two armies are about to fight, where will the troops be able to catch food for it?
Then we can only feed the treasures of heaven and earth that contain the essence of heaven and earth, replace quantity with quality, and use less at most...
In addition, it was seriously injured by Fukuda Masa, and it was just when it needed the treasures of heaven and earth to recuperate. When the two are superimposed, the expenditure will be huge...
Wang Zhi ordered Xu Hai to search for heavenly materials and earthly treasures to feed [Niu Gui] in order to use the power of the strange beast to defeat the Qi family army. However, he felt sorry for his own things. Xu Hai fed them for a while and couldn't bear it anymore. He was gone.
The fleet already needed a lot of money to rebuild the ships and recruit people. I really didn't want to spend any more money to fill this bottomless pit, so I came up with this idea - to ask Shinto masters to come out and enter the Central Plains to secretly search for treasures to support the other side.
monster……
"I see……"
Cao Jinxing listened to the whole process attentively, but he did not expect that there was such a connection.
Wu Shixun was even dumbfounded.
Only the desk clerk in the corner writes quickly and records things quickly.
"You must inform General Qi quickly..."
Cao Jinxing furrowed his brows and said, "Having a calculated calculation or not, the Qi family's army may suffer a big loss... Do Yan Shifan and the others know this news? If they know, then allowing the enemy to plunder the rear and nourish their weapons is no different from collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. What a piece of shit."
!”
Cao Jinxing smashed the table with a slap and looked at the clerk: "Have you finished recording?!"
The clerk stood up and said respectfully: "The record is finished, sir."
"good!"
Cao Jinxing stretched out his hand to take a picture, his eyes quickly scanned the words above, and said secretly: "Yan Shifan... last time your son sent someone to hurt my fourteenth, this time... I will let you shed your skin even if you don't die!"
