Chapter five hundred and seventy-first secret control
"Master, are you awake?"
In the Chu Mansion, in the room, looking at Chu Feng who slowly opened his eyes, Xiao Zi suddenly looked happy and asked with concern.
Chu Feng nodded, but his eyes were looking at the black puppet suspended in front of him.
At this time, the doll had already become different. The whole body was shining with aura, and the face was clearly distinguishable. In particular, the pair of eyes were even more vivid, as if they were real people.
"hey-hey……"
Suddenly, the puppet seemed to notice his gaze, and suddenly grinned. In the next moment, it turned into a black light and shot through the window.
"Yeah, you still dare to run away."
Xiao Zi was the first to react, with a flash of purple light, and she immediately chased away. Obviously, her strength was far greater than that of the opponent. In less than a blink of an eye, she had already flew back with the opponent on the back of his neck.
"Kaka..."
The puppet was obviously unwilling to give up, its limbs kept struggling, and its joints made mechanical noises. At this time, its true nature had been exposed, and its original pair of smart eyes suddenly turned blood red, filled with murderous intent.
Chu Feng frowned, and with a flash of light from his fingertips, he quickly pointed at the center of the opponent's eyebrows. The puppet screamed and then passed out.
"After all, it is the method of the devil. The effect is very good, but it is a pity that it also has many disadvantages."
"Then what will the master do with him? Will there be any backlash?" Xiao Zi still held the doll and asked with some worry.
"This thing is too weird, I can't relax for a moment."
Chu Feng nodded slightly, thought for a while, and a yellow light flashed in his hand, revealing seven talismans. He muttered something in his mouth, and in the next moment, his fingers flew around and placed the talismans everywhere on the opponent's body.
"I will use the spirit-sealing talisman to seal all its seven orifices, and then I will hand them over to you for safekeeping."
Xiao Zi chuckled, raised her hand and shot out a purple light, but it turned into a purple fire coffin and shut the puppet in. The purple light flashed again, and the fire coffin seemed to be swallowed up and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Master, don't worry, in my real fire space, everything will be absolutely foolproof."
"It won't take long. I have an intuition that it won't take long to use it." Chu Feng suddenly glanced at the sky and murmured.
After a long time, he put away his thoughts and said:
"Let's not mention this matter for now. There are other things to do next, but we have no time to spare."
…
When the emperor dies, the people mourn.
However, there is a turbulence hidden in the invisible place.
Late at night, Prince Shen's Mansion.
At this time, the lights in the study were still on, and King Shen Zhao Bai was walking in front of the desk, pacing back and forth. It was obvious that his heart was not at peace.
As the ninth son of Shenzong, he is less than twenty years old. He is still young and full of energy.
In the past, due to eye problems, I naturally didn't have many ideas. However, after being cured by an eminent monk who traveled here, I regained my energy again, and naturally I had thoughts about that seat.
Of course, it is unknown whether he can succeed. There are several imperial brothers behind him, all of whom are of similar age, and all of them are strong competitors.
"Da da da……"
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly interrupted his meditation. He turned around and saw that it was Butler Liu from the palace.
"Your Majesty, that man is back."
"Oh, let him in quickly." Zhao Bai looked happy and ordered immediately.
Butler Liu left in response, and after a while, a man in black walked in. His steps were steady, his breathing was even, and he obviously had good skills.
"My subordinates pay their respects to the prince."
Zhao Bai nodded, then waved his hand to signal the housekeeper to go ahead, and then said:
"How did things go?"
"Prince Qi, my subordinate met Master Xuanchen in Hangzhou. He asked his subordinate to bring back a letter." After saying that, the man in black took the letter out of his arms and handed it to him respectfully.
"Letter?" Zhao Bai was slightly surprised and had a vague premonition. He opened it immediately after taking it. However, when he read the contents of the letter, his expression suddenly became ugly.
"Apart from the letter, he didn't explain anything else?"
"No." The man in black answered directly, thought for a while, and then said,
"Your Majesty did not know. When Master Xuanchen saw me, his expression changed several times, as if he had something to hide. In the end, he said nothing and only asked his subordinates to bring the letter back to you."
"This is happening!" Zhao Bai frowned deeply, waved his hand and said,
"You go down first. In addition, ask people to pay attention to the residences of my royal brothers. If there is any situation, report it in time."
"I obey my orders."
The man in black bowed again and then left.
"Master, master, you cured my eye disease in the past, and you even predicted that I would have a ninety-five-year-old appearance. Why do you suddenly change your words now?"
The dim lights reflected Zhao Bai's complicated heart at this moment. If he hadn't been given hope, he wouldn't be as disappointed as he is now. However, since he was given hope, he had made too much preparation for it over the years, but at this critical moment
How could he accept the sudden retort?
"You said that Master Xuanchen suddenly repented. Was it his own intention or the entire Buddhist sect?"
"Xuan Chen has a very high seniority in the Buddhist sect. Since he speaks, he is not representing himself personally." From somewhere in the corner, a figure slowly walked out, but it was a middle-aged Taoist priest with a whisk in hand and a stern face.
"If you don't choose me, you will have to choose my younger brothers. Who will they be?"
"The Taoist sect belongs to King Yiduan, so it can't be him. The only ones left are King Jian, King Shen, or the even smaller King Mu. The rest are unlikely." The Taoist priest's eyes flashed slightly, and he analyzed each one. He paused.
After a pause, he continued,
"Without the support of Buddhism, we can only rely on ourselves. After preparing for so long, the court, the army and the ANBU all have a certain strength. However, at this moment, does the prince still have the ambition to make progress?"
"Is there still a possibility of success?" Zhao Bai was a little hesitant. After all, this was related to the throne and life and death, so he couldn't help but be careless.
"If I stop here, I think it won't be difficult for the new king to succeed me."
"My lord, why should you deceive yourself? Although the forces in the dark are hidden, they cannot be unknown to everyone. Since ancient times, there is no possibility of turning back for those who set out on this road. If you give up, you will end up being a slave to others."
After hearing what the Taoist said, Zhao Bai's expression suddenly changed and he didn't say a word for a long time.
Just when he was vaguely determined to fight to the death, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter from a woman, and he was instantly shocked.
"who?"
The middle-aged Taoist priest took the lead and shouted coldly, holding the fly whisk tightly in his hand. This is the palace, not to mention the iron walls, but the protective power is definitely not weak. How did the other party get in? Moreover, with his spiritual sense, there was no trace at all.
aware.
His eyes glanced back and forth, but unfortunately, he found nothing. Just when he was confused, he saw a flash of purple light in front of his eyes, and a little girl about an inch tall suddenly appeared.
"Well……"
Not only the middle-aged Taoist priest, but also Zhao Bai on the side was full of astonishment. What happened? This is the one who laughed out loud just now? Obviously, this cannot be a human being.
"This...what are you?"
Zhao Bai asked subconsciously, but his words angered the other party. His eyes flashed with anger, and he waved his little hands very fast. There was a 'pop' sound, and he fell straight to the ground.
"you……"
Zhao Bao felt a burning pain on his cheek, which was extremely uncomfortable. However, thinking of such a mysterious ability of the other party, he swallowed back the words he wanted to say.
"Hmph, next time you dare to speak rudely, I will burn you into Momo. No, not even Momo."
Xiao Zi glanced at the other party disdainfully, probably because she had played with Liang Bing for a while, and even learned the other party's catchphrases very skillfully.
Ignoring Zhao Bai anymore, he turned to look at the middle-aged Taoist priest and asked with some confusion,
"Didn't Dao Sect choose Zhao Ji? How come you are here?"
"Fairy, although Pindao is a Taoist priest, he does not belong to any force. In the past, the prince had a life-saving grace for Pindao, so he surrendered to him." The middle-aged Taoist priest obviously noticed the extraordinary nature of this little girl.
, and immediately explained respectfully.
"That's it." A fairy called her, and Xiao Zi's anger immediately disappeared, and she even felt a little happy. This title suited her quite well.
"Okay, I don't care what's going on with you. In short, I'm here to tell you a message. The emperor died and the throne changed. This matter involves the stability of the world. A little turmoil will bring disaster to the people. Therefore, you wait
The kings can only adapt to the situation and must not start an army to fight among themselves."
"Why?"
Zhao Bai was unwilling to accept it. If he followed the situation, he would have absolutely no hope at this moment. So, when the new king comes to the throne and finds out everything he has done secretly, how can he let it go?
Everyone is afraid of death. He was not yet twenty years old, so he naturally did not want to lose his life early. Therefore, despite the fear in his heart, he still took the risk and spoke out.
"Just because my master hasn't taken action yet, I can wipe out your life at will."
"you……"
Zhao Bai was so angry that he directly threatened violence, which was too unreasonable. At least you can give me a slightly suitable reason, and I will feel better.
He wanted to refute again, but he suddenly thought of the other party's weird methods and stopped talking. He had completely understood in his heart that the other party was too strong and didn't bother to listen to his argument.
"You have no destiny as an emperor. What those bald donkeys said in the past were just deceiving you, and their purpose was to benefit Buddhism itself. Now that things have changed, I will naturally abandon you without hesitation." Xiao Zi looked at it.
Showing the other party's reluctance, he scolded him bluntly.
"Do you even know this?" Zhao Bai was startled. This matter was already secret, and very few people knew about it, but he didn't expect that it would come out from the other party's mouth.
"I know a lot. As long as I want to, I can't hide anything." After a pause, Xiao Zi suddenly changed the subject.
"I also know the concerns in your heart. In this case, my lord... I can promise you on behalf of my lord to give up this fight for the throne and be loyal to my lord from now on. Then, not only can your life be saved, but you will even have the opportunity to step on the throne in the future."
If you want to enter immortality and live forever, please consider it."
"What, Immortal Path!"
Zhao Bai couldn't help but look shocked or overjoyed. If he were called someone else, he wouldn't believe it at all. But he couldn't help but not believe the mysterious little girl in front of him. This was obviously not understandable to ordinary people.
exist.
Originally knowing that there was no hope of reaching the summit, he felt a little desperate, but unexpectedly, in a twist of fate, the other party actually took all his concerns into consideration, and even threw out such a big piece of cake. He was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
"Auntie... do you really mean what the fairy said?"
"Your life is in my hands, there is no need to deceive you."
"Yes, yes, what the fairy said makes sense." Zhao Bao was worried about angering the other party again, so he quickly echoed. Moreover, without any hesitation, he immediately said,
"That being the case, I hereby swear an oath to withdraw from the struggle for power, and from now on be loyal to...to the Fairy. If there is any betrayal, I will let the thunder strike from the sky and die without a burial place."
"Hehe, you are quite clever." Xiao Zi laughed out loud and did not correct the other person.
"However, I don't believe in such things as oaths. Other constraints are needed."
As he said that, the space he saw fluctuated, and a purple fire coffin emerged. Xiao Zi stretched out a palm and went straight into the inside of the fire coffin. The next moment, he directly grabbed a strange thing. The color was black.
Red, like blood.
Purple light flashed in the palm of his hand, but it wrapped all the strange blood, and in less than a moment, it was directly refined into a blood-colored pill.
"Then, take this pill, and I will believe in you." Xiao Zi said with a half-smile as she threw the pill into the opponent's hand.
"this……"
Zhao Bai's face changed slightly, how could he not see that this pill was definitely not a good thing. However, he only hesitated for a moment before making a decision and swallowed the pill in one gulp.
It was magical to say that the pill looked about the size of a soybean and disappeared quickly after entering the mouth. The next moment, I felt that the center of my eyebrows suddenly became warm and extremely comfortable. Other than that, there was nothing unusual about it.
"Fairy...Fairy, do you think this poor Taoist has a chance to become your lord's disciple?"
But at this moment, the middle-aged Taoist priest suddenly spoke, and there was even more heat in his eyes. Stepping into the path of immortality, how could a Taoist priest not want to do it? He was even ten thousand times better than Zhao Bai.
"You are not a member of the royal family, so you are a bit off. But it doesn't matter. I am in a good mood today, so I will accept you."
Xiao Zi only thought briefly before choosing to agree. However, instead of condensing the blood elixir as before, she raised her hand and pointed a purple fire directly into the opponent's eyebrows.
"I dare to ask Fairy, I wonder what Xiao Wang should do next, should he dismiss all the forces under his command?" Zhao Bao had already accepted his fate and had no other thoughts, and then respectfully asked for advice.
"Dismissal, why should we be dismissed? In that case, what's the use of having you as a bachelor commander?" Xiao Zi scolded, put away the purple fire coffin, and then said,
"The forces under your command can still be operated with confidence, and they can even be expanded and better, which will come in handy in the future. I have important things to do, so I won't stay any longer, so you can take care of yourself."
After saying that, without waiting for the two of them to reply, the purple light flashed and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"It's put to use? It needs to be expanded? What...what does this mean?"
In the room, not only Zhao Bai but also the middle-aged Taoist priest were also a little confused.
…
Xiao Zi left the palace, and when she reappeared, she was already on a street somewhere. There, Chu Feng was standing quietly alone, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Master, I'm back."
"Looking at your excited look, you must have completed the task." Chu Feng turned around and said with a smile.
"Of course. If you leave such a simple matter to me, it will be easy for me to do it." Xiao Zi nodded proudly, as if he was ready to praise me.
"When did you get promoted to Fairy?" Chu Feng showed a hint of surprise at the right time.
"Yeah, no, they were the ones barking."
Xiao Zi reacted immediately and explained with some embarrassment.
"Okay, fairies are fairies, it sounds pretty good, there's nothing wrong with it." Chu Feng comforted the other party in a funny way, and then said,
"This is just King Shen. We have more work to do next, so let's continue."
"Don't worry, Master, I'll leave it all to you. I guarantee there will be no problems."
