Chapter 179 The fate of the elder of the Fang family
"Have you mastered breaking the sky with one hand??"
By the pond, Dou Tianyuan's jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Xu Chong said nothing, took a step forward, and appeared behind Dou Tianyuan.
Answered directly with action.
"This concealment, this turning... it's true that one hand can break the sky!"
Dou Tianyuan turned around and looked at Xu Chong with beaming eyes, "Okay, okay, okay..."
"In short, I just noticed something strange in Zhan Shifu, so I came to Gongsun Mang to ask, and I encountered this scene."
Xu Chong explained, "As for why I know those two Fang family members...Lin Kuang has told me."
"Does he also know this much about the direct lineage of the ancient clan?"
Dou Tianyuan looked suspicious.
"After all, he is a Taoist master, so it is normal for him to have contact with the ancient tribe."
Xu Chong answered without blushing or heart beating.
"Oh yeah..."
Dou Tianyuan rolled his eyes, "Have you been to Lou Heizi's underground palace?"
"Underground palace?"
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows and gave an ambiguous answer: "The Prime Minister has not invited me."
"That's right...then he's really careless."
Dou Tianyuan nodded and did not dig into the details.
In fact, when it comes to this, the two of them have a tacit understanding - Xu Chonghui's incarnation
It’s not that he was reluctant to waste his life span of one or two years. In fact, as long as Dou Tianyuan opened his mouth, Xu Chong would definitely teach him.
Not to mention, Dou and Lou had already guessed this.
It's just that neither Dou Tianyuan nor Lou Youzhi are from the Purple Mansion, and they have always had little interest in this magical power.
"Those two people are the direct descendants of the Fang family."
Xu Chong returned to the topic, "If there are Wu Xiangyi, their identities may be used."
"No Xiangyi..."
Dou Tianyuan's face trembled, "It seems you already have an idea."
"I want to use the Fang family to provoke hostility between the three ancient clans and Ji Qingzhi."
Xu Chong spoke slowly, "Now, all our speculations about Emperor Yongtai have no solid basis, but... those people in Yongzhou who put their lives on Ji Qing's head did not wrong him at all."
"That makes sense."
Dou Tianyuan thought of Jiang Zhihong and nodded, "Just in time, I have a Wuxiang Yi here..."
As he spoke, a triangular piece of wood appeared in Dou Tianyuan's palm.
It's the one from the Water Ghost.
"With the one you have, it's just enough."
Dou Tianyuan smiled and said, "Tell me, which one do you want me to pretend to be?"
"Um... well, I don't have the one I have with me."
Xu Chong was a little depressed, "Can we still find the third Wuxiangyi?"
"Not with you?"
Dou Tianyuan thought for a moment and suddenly understood. He took a deep look at Xu Chong and said: "There were originally many, but they were all dismantled by Lou Heizi to make Taoist tools... I'm afraid this is the only one that can be found in the world now.
Two dollars."
"Is this so..."
Xu Chong frowned.
His original idea was to enter the Spring and Autumn Tomb in disguise with Dou Tianyuan.
Whether it is to encroach on the Fang family bit by bit, or to lead the Fang family to fight against Ji Qingzhi, it is a good choice.
But if there is only one Xiangyi, this operation will be more difficult.
Two people go out and one person goes back.
This is not an ordinary member of the younger generation like Fang Xianzong, but an elder from the same clan.
No matter what excuse there is, the one who returns alive will definitely be scrutinized.
In this way, it is easy to expose the secret.
And if the two go back together and there is only one Wuxiangyi, it means that one of them must be the deity.
Xu Chong narrowed his eyes and said: "Does the imperial court have any special means to deal with the golden body master? Is it the kind of means that can greatly reduce the strength of the physical body in the golden body state?"
"Forehead."
Dou Tianyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, there is... a kind of Taoist medicine that is made to imitate the dissection of corpses. Whether it is a golden body or a physical form, if it is soaked in it, it will lower its level by a small level every twelve hours."
"Use Dao medicine, or soak it, in order to disintegrate... the captive's state?"
Xu Chong frowned, "Who designed it?"
"It looks like you took off your pants and farted, right?"
Dou Tianyuan twitched his lips, "Everyone thought so at first, until the Tianling Pill appeared."
"The Heavenly Spirit Pill is made from the Tao Transformation Tang after the body has been dissected. Taking it can increase your cultivation level...the cultivation level of the Dao Realm."
"Just like taking big medicines in the enlightenment stage and precious medicines in the channel-opening stage, you can also use elixirs to improve your cultivation level in the cultivation stage."
"The difference is that the materials for making the Tianling Pill are essentially people from the Taoist realm."
"The higher the realm of a person, the more cultivation levels are removed by the corpse, and the stronger the effect of the Tianling Pill."
"However, the person who takes it needs to follow the same path as the person who was dismembered."
The Heavenly Spirit Pill...the Human Calling Pill is pretty much the same.
Xu Chong twitched his lips.
"I knew you would have this expression."
Dou Tianyuan shook his head, "But in fact, almost all the wealthy families in Beijing have Tianling Pills at home...it may not belong to others."
"It may not be someone else's?"
Xu Chong was stunned.
"Take me for example."
Dou Tianyuan pointed at himself, "Before I die, I will use corpse dissolution to remove most of the cultivation base, and ask someone to refine it into a heavenly elixir."
"If the younger generation fails to live up to expectations, it can be handed over to the court in exchange for protection. If the younger generation does not live up to expectations, then it should be given to the younger generation to help them take a further step on the road of cultivation."
"For example, Rong Guo Gongfu, why is a once so glorious family now reduced to making friends from all over the world?"
"It's because no one in the Lu family has cultivated a cultivator for several generations... It is said that the last cultivator of the Lu family was the ninth grade of Dharma."
"What is the concept of the Heavenly Spirit Pill of the ninth level of Dharma? Even if the effect is greatly reduced after absorption, it can instantly elevate a person who has just cultivated Taoism to the Ningying realm."
Saying that, Dou Tianyuan shook his head with some emotion, "Fortunately, Lu Zhong has accepted a good apprentice, otherwise once the old Duke dies, the Lu family will not be able to keep this Heavenly Spirit Pill."
“Shunyi is indeed excellent.”
Xu Chong agreed, then changed the topic and said in a negative tone: "Since we have this autopsy, it's easy to talk about..."
Soon, the two unconscious elders of the Fang family were placed in two large barrels by the pool, with only their heads exposed through a hole.
The large barrel was made of Forbidden Stone, and the hand and foot shackles connected to the barrel were also made of Forbidden Stone, ensuring that the two of them could never escape.
The bucket was filled with a thick dark green liquid, which was being continuously absorbed by the two of them.
After a long time, Fang Leshan slowly woke up.
Then he fell into a huge panic.
"Garden, pond...bucket??"
"Damn! This is the Forbidden Stone!"
"What happened, why am I here??"
Not only was he unable to understand the scene in front of him, Fang Leshan also had no memory of what happened before he fell into coma.
The unknown is often scary, unless there is an acquaintance beside you...
"Fang Lezhong?!"
When Fang Leshan saw the fellow sufferers not far away, his mind suddenly relaxed and he shouted loudly: "Wake up! Fang Lezhong!!"
"……Um?"
Fang Lezhong slowly opened his eyes.
Then the same panic happened to him again.
After a while, the two finally understood the current situation and calmed down.
"Do you still remember what happened before you fell into coma?"
Fang Leshan asked in a deep voice.
"I only remember one image."
Fang Lezhong replied with difficulty, "Dou Tianyuan suddenly appeared and caught you... I lost consciousness before I could react."
"Dou Tianyuan?!"
Fang Leshan's pupils suddenly shrank into needlepoints, "Are you sure??"
"Although I have never met Dou Tianyuan with my own eyes, for a man like him who appears to be strong, the clan will repaint his portrait every year..."
Fang Lezhong slowly exhaled a sigh of relief, "It's definitely him!"
"Damn it! How did he know we were in Gongsun Mansion?!"
Fang Leshan looked extremely ugly, "Is someone in the clan betraying us? Or is it someone here in the capital who has betrayed the family?"
"Probably not..."
Fang Lezhong shook his head, "If our whereabouts are leaked, he can capture us as early as when we come into contact with that good-for-nothing prince... Don't forget, it's been ten years since we came to the capital."
"...How did Dou Tianyuan find us if he wasn't betrayed?"
Fang Leshan still didn't want to believe it, "Can he still know everything?"
"I guess it's more likely to be a coincidence."
Fang Lezhong was extremely depressed and said, "When we found Gongsun Mang, he happened to be looking for Gongsun Mang too..."
"..."
Fang Leshan was silent for a while, and then started struggling like crazy.
Bang-dang~ Bang-dang~
The strength he still retains in his physical body allows him to still make a lot of noise.
But facing such a thick vat, this little strength is obviously not enough.
After struggling for a while, the shackles showed no signs of breaking, and the barrel showed no signs of damage. On the contrary, he was exhausted enough.
"No, it can't be done."
Fang Leshan gasped, "This bucket of evil is very powerful. I at least retain the power equivalent to the Body Washing Realm, but I can't shake it at all..."
"It seems that my guess was correct."
Fang Lezhong looked desperate, "I dare to use such a rough thing to lock you in a golden body for seven turns. It is obvious that this barrel is on the same level as the forbidden coffin."
"Taoist weapon??"
Fang Leshan was also desperate, and at the same time there was an inexplicable anger, "My Fang family has spent several generations just to protect the family inheritance... This blood-clothed guard spent so much effort just to lock up the prisoner? Is he sick?"
?”
"It's not necessarily true...I guess the prison controller can ignore the interference of the Forbidden Stone and still forge the Forbidden Stone with complete cultivation."
Fang Lezhong smiled bitterly and said, "In other words, it is very likely that Dou Tianyuan built these two large barrels with just a little effort."
"..."
Fang Leshan's expression became even more ugly, and he asked instead: "Why doesn't he just put us in prison?"
"I can't see what the liquid in the bucket looks like, but it must be... Huatao soup."
Fang Lezhong's eyes were already turning gray.
The Fang family also has refining methods for Huadao Tang and Tianling Pill, so he is no stranger to them.
So naturally, he knew how he would end up.
The flesh melts away from the bones and becomes food for others.
"..."
Fang Leshan froze.
The two stopped talking.
They were waiting quietly, waiting for the twelve hours to expire.
With the Forbidden Dharma Stone around, they can't feel the subtle changes in their cultivation, but if the level is lowered to a small level, they can still distinguish the changes in their Taoism.
In this way, time passed slowly.
About ten hours later, Fang Lezhong felt a tremor in his Taoism.
The most intuitive feeling brought about by this kind of trembling is the pain as if even the soul is being pulled away.
"...That's true."
Fang Lezhong completely gave up hope.
"No, something's wrong."
Fang Leshan suppressed his pain and said in a deep voice: "The two of us are at the third level of Taoism. Dou Tianyuan didn't ask us a question and just used us to make elixirs?"
"Let's not talk about how valuable our strength is. Isn't he curious at all about our identity?"
"Zang Dao is not a big cabbage, let alone the third realm."
Fang Leshan's eyes were awe-inspiring, "There's something wrong here!"
"...certainly a bit."
Fang Lezhong also reacted and began to think in the direction of Fang Leshan, "Gongsun Mang only knows that the Fang family is one of the six major families, but with Dou Tianyuan's level, he can definitely know that the Fang family is one of the three major ancient families..."
"In other words, Dou Tianyuan knows our background, but does not know our specific identities."
"So, he shouldn't be thinking of killing us directly...why is he doing this?"
Fang Lezhong frowned tightly.
"Is it possible that it was a shock?"
Fang Leshan guessed, "Shock us and let us know that he can kill us regardless of any interests."
"It's not impossible..."
Fang Lezhong narrowed his eyes and flickered, "But what does he need us to do? Is it to reveal information about the Fang family, or to do something else?"
"you……"
Fang Leshan's eyes became dangerous, "Don't forget, the patriarch has a soul-locking seal and can control our life and death at any time."
"That's true, but what if Dou Tianyuan doesn't need us to betray the family?"
Fang Lezhong's face straightened, "In the final analysis, the only thing we can't do is expose the location of the forbidden coffin... It's been moving, and we can't expose it."
As he said that, Fang Lezhong's eyes changed slightly, as if he was signaling something.
Fang Leshan understood and nodded, "That's true. In terms of secrets, we can't reveal the key points. Nothing else will affect the survival of the Fang family... And with the Soul Locking Seal, we can't do anything detrimental to the other family."
Fang Lezhong was quite satisfied with Fang Leshan's cooperation. At the same time, he added: "In other words, Dou Tianyuan cannot use us to deal with the Fang family."
After saying this, the two of them remained silent at the same time and waited quietly.
However, after a while, there was still no other movement.
The backyard is still the same empty backyard.
the next day.
The third day.
Day four.
Until the sixth day, neither of them waited for Dou Tianyuan to show up.
"It seems that we have overestimated our value in the eyes of the number one master..."
Fang Leshan laughed at himself.
"One day the clan cannot contact us, even if Dou Tianyuan doesn't take action, the clan leader will kill my two souls..."
Fang Lezhong's face was extremely gloomy and he completely lost all hope of life.
What he didn't know was that when he said this just now, 'Fang Leshan's' pupils shrank sharply.
————————
I had a good sleep during the day today!
It shouldn't take more than 5 days. Guaranteed updates will be resumed the day after tomorrow at the latest, and we will be on the road to repaying our debts.
I would like to reflect on myself here. In the past few days, because my thoughts have been interrupted by severe pain, I have been slow to write. When I am interrupted, I always wander in one place, which seems to be a bit redundant.
The plot will speed up later and all the secrets of Daqing will be revealed one after another.
Including the protagonist, Mr. Xu, Emperor Qing, Taizu of Daqing...etc.
