Chapter 371 The man with the lantern appears, the secret of the world
Luojing, Prince's Villa.
In the study room in the backyard, Feng Lang sat behind the desk, looking at the looming middle-aged man in black robes with a black gold mask in front of him, and asked coldly:
"Mr. Wu, you lantern-carrying men have done a very bad job. Feng Yu, Divine Doctor Hua and Qin Yi are all still alive. Don't you need to give me an explanation?"
Mr. Wu tilted his head, looked at Feng Lang with clear black and white eyes like deep sea water, half-smiling but not smiling, and said in the cold and stiff voice that sounded like gold and stone:
"Explanation? What explanation do you want? I told you from the beginning that we will fight to the death to complete the mission. Even before we die, we will use the forbidden secret method of death and banish them to the place of ruins."
Speaking of the place of return to ruins, Mr. Wu couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then continued:
"What does the Land of Guixu look like? I told you at the time that the Land of Guixu is deep underground. There is no light there, no spiritual energy, only evil spirits, and there are man-eating monsters. They were exiled to the place of Guixu.
Earth will be seriously injured due to the backlash of spiritual energy, and the probability of survival is extremely low."
Having said this, Mr. Wu shook his head and continued with a tone full of regret:
"It's a pity that you were unlucky, but these three people were also unlucky. They all survived such a harsh environment and such a low survival rate."
Facing Mr. Wu's explanation, Feng Lang looked very ugly and continued to question:
"You said at the time that even if they survived, they would never come back. However, they are all back now. What do you say about this?"
Mr. Wu was silent for a moment and replied: "This is indeed beyond our expectation. For this reason, we have abolished this secret method of perishing together. From now on, we will no longer provide the option of 'exile to the land of ruins'."
When Feng Lang saw Mr. Wu admitting his mistake, his eyes immediately lit up and he said loudly: "Whether you offer this option or not, it's none of my business. What I want is the result. Kill them again, I want them dead!"
Mr. Wu looked into Feng Lang's eyes, shook his head and said: "You should know the rules of us lantern holders. When the amount reaches the must-kill level, we will only kill once. If the opponent is still alive, we will give up the target. The three of them
In line with this rule, we cannot do anything anymore."
When Feng Lang heard that the other party actually rejected him, he stood up immediately, walked to Mr. Wu, pointed at Jin Wu's nose angrily and cursed: "Rules? Tell me the rules, don't think I don't know, from you guys
Since we settled in the Central Plains, you have already broken your rules. If you, the lantern holder, tell me the rules now, you are treating me like a three-year-old child."
Mr. Wu chuckled and said: "I didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would know us lamp-carrying people quite well. The Feng family in Jingshui is worthy of being a ten thousand-year-old family. They have a rich heritage. They even know this. In this case, do you think I should do it again?"
Did you break the rule that when accepting a mission, you are not allowed to kill the mission issuer?"
When Feng Lang heard this, he immediately took a step back cautiously, holding the bronze sword at his waist tightly with his right hand, and looked at Mr. Wu who was about ten feet away with a wary expression.
Mr. Wu shook his head and said: "Look, Your Highness, you know the importance of rules, right? We broke a few rules, which is very wrong. We never dare to break other rules.
"
Feng Lang was silent for a long time, and asked unwillingly: "Can't you give me more money? You have offended them to death, and they will not let you go."
Mr. Wu chuckled and said: "Since His Highness the Crown Prince knows our rules, it means that he should know something about us lantern holders. Our main disaster area is not the Central Plains. Even if they continue to be hostile to us and target us, we will leave at worst."
That’s the Central Plains. Could it be that they can still chase us to the barbarian lands or even the barbaric lands to kill us? Haha... Your Highness, you still have to rely on yourself. Whoever you want to kill, you’d better do it yourself. I
I think, after so many years, with the power of His Highness the Prince, he shouldn’t even have the manpower to kill a few people, right?”
The manpower, with Feng Lang's current power, is naturally sufficient, but there are some things that his subordinates cannot do.
For example, things that his father didn't let him do.
After all, while these forces were loyal to him, they were also loyal to his father.
Mr. Wu glanced at Feng Lang contemptuously, turned around, and was about to leave. Suddenly he thought of something and said behind his back: "Oh, I apologize for our failure to complete the task, and give His Highness the Prince free information. Qin Yi and Feng
Yu is about to get in touch. If you don’t take action, it will be too late. Haha..."
After saying that, Mr. Wu's body disappeared instantly, as if he had never appeared before.
Feng Lang was not surprised by this. Mr. Wu was like this before, coming and going without a trace. Even if he used various methods, he could not trace the other party's figure.
However, the last words the other party said really made Feng Lang feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.
"Qin Yi and Feng Yu must have had a very good relationship in Guixu before, and even formed an alliance in advance. According to my investigation, Feng Yu should have entered Beijing long ago, but has been hiding and has not taken any action for the time being. I was there before
I doubted that he was waiting for someone or the right time, but I didn’t expect that the person he was waiting for turned out to be Qin Yi."
Qin Yi, a person he despised at first, now attracted more and more attention from him as information about Qin Yi continued to come.
"The combat power of Dharma, the master of formation, has the support of all the forces of the Qin family in Weishui..."
Especially the last one concerned Feng Lang the most.
Qin Yi has gone from being a talented warrior with good fighting skills to becoming another important talker in the Weishui Qin family besides the Marquis of Changping.
Qin Yi is no longer alone. He can now use the full strength of the Weishui Qin family to serve him.
"Although the catastrophe of the spiritual tide is imminent, Qin Yi should not dare to make any big moves, but..."
However, with the factor of Feng Yu, it might not be possible.
Thinking of Feng Yu and his father's recent attitude towards him, Feng Lang felt an unprecedented sense of urgency.
"No, no, I have to do something to prevent Qin Yi and Feng Yu from meeting."
If Feng Yu gets the full support of the Weishui Qin clan and the power of the Liyang faction, maybe...
The consequences are unimaginable.
Feng Lang's eyes widened, he gritted his teeth, and growled with a ferocious expression: "In this case, we have to use them."
"Qin Yi, Feng Yu, you forced me to do this!"
"Anything that happens is your fault!"
…
"Oh, you said you conducted research from the perspective of Dao Wen?" Mr. Li asked in surprise.
He knew that Qin Yi was a master of formations, but he did not know that Qin Yi had such in-depth research on Taoism.
If he remembered correctly, what Qin Yi practiced should not be civil or military.
It’s not that non-civilian and martial warriors can’t study Taoism, it’s just that the difficulty of studying it is much higher than that of civil and military practitioners, and the benefits are much less. Therefore, there is basically no non-civilian and martial arts nowadays.
The warriors have studied Taoism.
So when he first heard this, Mr. Li was very surprised.
"I was lucky enough to awaken Daowen Tutong yesterday, so I still have some advantages in studying Daowen."
"Daowen Tupu... holy pupil? The pupil magic power awakened by Wen Sheng in his later years?" Li Lao instantly thought of what it was, looked at Qin Yi incredulously and said: "The legendary one can reach or even surpass it as long as he awakens.
Literary Saint’s magical power?”
Qin Yi felt that this statement was too exaggerated. It was just a magical power. He had had several of them before, and he didn't think the magical power was anything special.
In the final analysis, it is just a tool, and the key lies in people.
Qin Yi quickly shook his head and said, "You can't say this nonsense..."
Although he believed that he could definitely surpass the Literary Sage and become the next saint, there were some things that he could do but not say.
Mr. Li immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing. He nodded excitedly and promised: "Don't worry, I won't tell others. By the way, don't tell others casually about your possession of the Holy Eyes. I know
?"
Mr. Li didn't want Qin Yi to be killed by other aristocratic families or forces before he could grow up.
After all, not everyone wants a new saint to be born, especially a new saint who is not in their family.
You know, every time a saint is born, it is a major reshuffle of power.
Because of the long history of the two saints Yuanwu and Longwu, and the destruction of books by the Military Saint, much of the history cannot be tested. However, the history after the Military Saint can be tested. After the birth of Dan Xing, there was a major reshuffle of the forces.
, many vassal states disappeared, the world was unified, and the dynasty began. Those families that had submitted earlier were preserved, and those families that followed the Qin family became new families.
Those aristocratic families that resisted to the end, even if they had ancestral lands, were suppressed at that time and almost died.
With only their ancestral land and no support from other forces, even if they could survive, they would only be hanging on for a while.
They were involved in the later Mowu Rebellion. Unfortunately, no one expected that Wenxing would be born so quickly, less than three hundred years after the death of Alchemy Saint, causing those people to fail again.
During this process, another group of aristocratic families fell behind, and a new group of aristocratic families were born.
However, due to the existence of the ancestral land, the laggard families have not completely disappeared. They still exist. Some of them were even exonerated during the change of dynasties and restored their status as aristocratic families. However, there are still many who have not been exonerated.
They can only rely on the power of the Jianghu to survive and survive.
This is also an important reason why Jianghu is not the mainstream, and the courts have many targets, but it is still impossible to completely eradicate it.
Mr. Li was worried that Qin Yi didn't know this and made a careless mistake, so he patiently told Qin Yi all the twists and turns inside.
After Qin Yi heard this, he suddenly realized it and solved a question he had been having before.
He had wondered before, why was it that such a court in Jianghu was targeted and encircled and suppressed again and again, but its vitality was so tenacious and could never be destroyed?
It turns out that in addition to the reason of the lantern holder, there is also this reason.
Wait, the lantern-carrying man has an ancestral precept not to enter the Central Plains, and the people in the Central Plains have no favorable impressions of the lantern-carrying man at all. Therefore, he may have thought wrong before, and it was not the lantern-carrying man's fault.
"Why didn't these declining aristocratic families find their ancestral land and completely exterminate them? Is it because of the tacit understanding between the aristocratic families?" Qin Yi asked curiously.
"A tacit understanding between aristocratic families? Haha... There is indeed a lot of tacit understanding between aristocratic families, and there are some tacit rules. However, this is not included among them. The reason for this is just because we can't find each other's ancestral land at all.
Perhaps, even if you guess the approximate location of the opponent's ancestral land, you still won't be able to enter."
is it hard?
The family has had the secret realm for so long, but they still haven’t figured out a way to find the secret realm and enter the mastered secret realm?
Only then did Qin Yi realize how shallow the family's research in this area was, and he also understood the great significance of the art of Feng Shui to various families.
Thinking of this, Qin Yi's eyes lit up.
It's of great significance, and it can be sold at a good price.
Mr. Li sighed and continued: "So, in desperation, we have no choice but to do the next best thing. We can only keep attacking their external forces to prevent them from resurrecting."
Qin Yi looked curiously at Old Li, who had the same hairstyle as Einstein, a white afro, and a robe full of bloodstains and wrinkles. He looked like a "mad scientist" at first glance.
He really didn't expect that Mr. Li would know so much about these "political" matters, and he would speak so eloquently.
After Mr. Li finished speaking, he saw Qin Yi's expression and seemed to understand what Qin Yi meant. He said with a smile: "Why, does my appearance at this time not match your first impression? Haha... That's you
I don’t know what I was like before, I don’t know what I have experienced before, but what I am now is from thirty years ago. Well, let’s not go into details. You should have a lot to do. No need to match.
I am an old man who is about to die, and I am messing around in this dark place, so hurry up."
Qin Yi's harvest this time was indeed a lot, and if he wanted to gain more, it would not be accomplished in a short time, so he would not keep it.
Qin Yi stood in front of the gate of the Secret Law Pavilion and looked back at the deserted Secret Law Pavilion. He seemed to see Old Li who had just parted with him again. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "No one can cultivate to the perfection of the golden elixir."
It’s simple.”
People become better with age.
Now that I think about it, the way Mr. Li and Marquis Changping get along is obviously something Mr. Li did deliberately.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Marquis Changping to trust Lao Li so much.
Qin Yi turned his head and left the Secret Law Pavilion.
On the way to Kunming Garden, I was thinking about what to do next.
"Let's put the cultivation matter aside for now. Don't rush it. We'll talk about it after you finish this period of work."
If he doesn't practice, what should he do?
In fact, there are quite a lot of things to do.
You can do tasks such as collecting real bones and tasks that are famous in the Central Plains.
However, although collecting real bones can be done now, if you do it yourself, it will be too time-consuming and laborious. If you want to save effort, you need to rely on the power of the Weishui Qin clan. He does not want to rely too much on the power of the Weishui Qin clan now.
Moreover, the catastrophe of the spiritual tide is about to happen, and the monsters are attacking the city. Will they still lack this bit of real bones by then?
There is no need to rush into the task of becoming famous in the Central Plains, just let nature take its course.
"Besides these two, what else is there?"
By the way, there are also a thousand Feng Shui formations collected to verify whether Feng Shui formations can be like Daowen's, and you can also acquire magical powers.
