After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 158 Listening to the News

Unexpectedly, Luo Ziwen, who was always ready to answer questions before, sighed and shook his head:

"That power has already cut off its inheritance, so there is no need to mention it again."

When he said this, a thought came to Yao Shouning's mind: this power didn't really cut off the inheritance, it just stayed hidden for a while.

But before she opened her mouth to speak, Luo Ziwen had already continued:
"You also know the power of Taoism."

Daqing respected Taoism and suppressed other sects. The dynasty has continued to this day, and the status of Taoism is supreme. Even the current Emperor Shenqi respects Taoists very much. He even invited Chen Taiwei, a master of Taoism, to teach him how to practice.

"Among the Confucianists, Zhang Fuchen is the main one. Back then, he assisted Taizu and suppressed evil spirits with the power of Confucianism."

When Yao Shouning heard this, he couldn't help but think of the calligraphy and painting of his grandfather Liu Bingzhou. The supernatural power in the calligraphy and painting is probably the power of Confucianism.

When she thought of this, Luo Ziwen just happened to look at her with a smile, obviously thinking of something with her, remembering the calligraphy and painting she gave her.

"As for the power of martial arts, it is based on Gu Jing." He sighed:
"Back then, Gu Jing declined the canonization of the Taizu, left the center of power, and established the Shenwumen. From then on, he hid in the dark and assisted the royal family."

In fact, in the early years, the descendants of Shenwumen cooperated closely with the imperial court. At the beginning of the establishment of Zhenmeng Division, they were all in charge of Shenwumen. Later, the power gradually became excessive, and finally became the servant in power, and became the blade in the emperor's hands.

However, after the imperial court became corrupt, it began to fear the hidden sects like Shenwumen, worried that Shenwumen's intentions were wrong, began to deprive Shenwumen of its power, and used the excuse of eliminating evildoers to search and suppress them. After that, Shenwumen gradually disappeared from the world. Over the past few years, only a handful of people have known the existence of Shenwumen.

"General Lu is actually from the Shenwu Sect."

Luo Ziwen said:
"So when the son was born, he was also taught and enlightened by the Shenwumen. Chang Ya and I are also members of the Shenwumen. We are the son's long-term followers, following by his side."

He spoke frankly, which made Yao Shouning curious about such a rumored sect as Shenwumen.

"The existence of Shenwumen is similar to a special academy, with teachers and disciples. The people of Shenwumen naturally focus on martial arts for self-cultivation, but there are also people like Mr. Xu who are good at curse and Gu. "

However, because the Sky Demon Clan was suppressed extremely hard back then, coupled with the fear of the existence of the "Purple Sun Secret Art", they have been hidden for 700 years.

In the past 700 years, the Daqing Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, and Shenwumen also lost many original inheritances.

"After this son was infected by the evil gu, the general wrote a letter and specially invited Mr. Xu from Shenwumen."

He said:
"This gentleman is the elder in charge of the library in the Shenwumen. He has read a lot of books and is especially good at curses and Gu arts. If he can destroy the snake cave, with the power of the whole She family, he will definitely be able to draw out the demon in the body of the prince. soul."

Yao Shouning's father and daughter were both insiders, and he observed that the relationship between Lu Zhi and Yao Shouning seemed unusual. He always felt that these two people might have entanglements in the future, so he said everything he could say. Give it to Yao Shouning.

Luo Ziwen spoke in an orderly manner, and it was extremely interesting for him to explain the origin of Shenwumen.

Before you know it, two hours have passed.

Several people sat in the gazebo for a long time, Yao Shouning felt his hands and feet were cold, and was about to stand up to take a walk, Yao Hui looked at the time was still early, Lu Zhi didn't know when he would be back, and was about to ask her to go back to the carriage to rest After a while, I heard a dog barking in the distance.

The dog barked one after another, coming from the mountain, the echo echoed far away, as if there were dogs hiding in all directions.

Although the sound was loud, the horses outside the gazebo were well-trained and were not frightened by the sound. They still lowered their heads and grazing quietly without being disturbed.

Luo Ziwen heard the sound, stood up happily, and glanced into the distance:
"The princes are back!"

He seemed to know that this was a signal, and said to Yao Shouning:
"It should work."

It has only been more than two hours since Lu Zhi and others entered the mountain and now they have returned. It seems that Lu Zhi's trip went very smoothly if they were able to deal with the She clan in such a short period of time.

Yao Shouning was also a little happy, he stretched his neck and looked into the distance, but all he saw were green towering mountains and dense trees, except for the echo of the dog barking, he saw nothing else.

But since Luo Ziwen said so, presumably Lu Zhi's actions should have been successful.

If the She family was wiped out, what was the reason for Lu Zhi's failure in this trip?

She bit her lip, feeling a little confused about where the problem came from.

About half an hour later, the shadow of a team of black armors could finally be seen in the middle of the mountain.

Lu Zhi and the others walked out of the forest, and Hei Jia was holding bloody bags in his hands.

The dogs seemed to be very excited, and Yao Shouning could 'see' the soaring blood and lingering resentment in Lu Zhi's body.

In the bloody light on his body, the soul of a black demon snake coiled above him unwillingly, opened its mouth to spit out messages at him, but was restrained by the aura of luck on him, unable to get close.

"finished?"

Seeing this scene, Yao Shouning stepped forward and asked him a question.

He nodded:
"With that piece of snake skin, Huang Feihu and others quickly found the hiding place of the snakes and wiped them all out."

The Shexian Clan of Nan'anling who planted the Demonic Snake Gu on him has almost been wiped out, Lu Zhi is very sure:

"We searched the mountains, and no fish slipped through the net. All the snakes are here."

He was going to transport the snake corpse back, and use the evil spirit of blood to lure out the demon soul in his body.

Xu Sou glanced at Yao Shouning, and asked with a smile:
"Second Miss Yao now thinks that Shi Zi has a good chance of winning in getting rid of Gu?"

Sure enough, Xu old heard what Yao Shouning had said to Lu Zhi before he entered the mountain. Now that he had wiped out the She clan, he brought up the old matter again, obviously he was very concerned about this matter.

This was the first time Yao Shouning heard Xu Suu talk to him since he met him.

To Yao Shouning's surprise, his voice was gentle. When he spoke, he folded his hands and his waist was slightly bent. He seemed to be very respectful to her. This submissive gesture startled her, and he said hastily:
"Mr. Xu."

"Second Miss doesn't need to be so outrageous, my real name is Xu Xiangyi, you can just call me by my first name." After he said this with a smile, Yao Hui was taken aback:
"How dare you be so rude?"

He didn't hear Lu Zhi's previous introduction, but Luo Ziwen may have mentioned this old Mr. Xu—from the mysterious Shenwu Sect, he belongs to a hidden family, and his status is not low.

What's more, regardless of his identity and background, this person is not young, and Yao Shouning is only about sixteen, so it would be very rude to call him by his name.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xiangyi didn't mind. Hearing Yao Hui's words, he just twirled his beard and smiled slightly:
"Since the name is given, it is meant to be addressed by others, so how can you be rude?"

Yao Shouning has a generous and calm personality, unlike Yao Hui who has seven orifices in his heart, and he does not want to think about the twists and turns between adults, so he said directly:

"The prince said that I can call you Mr. Xu."

She was still young, with innocence and innocence in her eyes, Xu Xiangyi looked at her with a smile, but seemed to see her future and heart through her expression at this time.

He nodded with a smile, reached out and twirled his beard, and nodded in a very good temper:
"Since the son said so, it's fine to call Miss Shouning that way."

Seeing that Xu Xiangyi coaxed Yao Shouning down with a few words, Lu Zhi couldn't help turning his face away.

Xu Xiangyi asked again:

"Miss Shouning thinks, can the prince successfully induce the demon gu today and recover as before?"

He seemed to be very concerned about Yao Shouning's opinion. He asked her twice, trying to get the answer from her mouth. Yao Shouning even had a feeling that he had seen through her hidden and unspoken ability to predict her.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Xu Xiangyi again, only to see that he had a smile in his eyes and a gentle expression, as if he had no malice towards her.

After a little hesitation, she still chose to believe in her hunch, and bluntly expressed her feelings:
"I always feel that the son's exorcism will not go well."

There was no reason for this feeling, but she was very sure.

Luo Ziwen and Duan Ziya could hear clearly, they couldn't help but glanced at each other with doubts in their eyes.

Xu Xiangyi, who had been smiling all over his face before, frowned slightly, showing deep thought:
"Not going well? What's the reason?"

He seemed to believe Yao Shouning's words so much that he didn't even ask her why she felt this way.

"I'm just feeling, and maybe feeling wrong."

Yao Shouning waved his hand and said.

Xu Xiangyi glanced at her, and there was a lot of meaning in that gaze:
"Miss Shouning, don't worry about it. Sometimes it feels like it might be the most accurate."

After speaking, he frowned and thought hard:
"But what's the problem? It's the Nan'anling She family who made the Gu. Today's party has been wiped out."

According to the records in the ancient books, as long as the blood and soul power of the whole demon clan of the following Gu can be used, the demon Gu can be eradicated. Today, there is no root cause of trouble, so where does the problem come from?

"Could it be," he glanced at Lu Zhi and whispered:

"Among the snakes that broke into the General's Mansion that day, did any fish slip through the net?"

Although Yao Hui knew some things, he didn't know everything. He didn't expect that his daughter's unintentional words would cause these people to start serious calculations and guesses, so he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Just like what Yao Shouning said, the child felt that he was inaccurate, maybe he made a mistake?Why would the people in the General's Mansion care?
He was puzzled, but seeing the dignified faces of the people in the General's Mansion, they were reluctant to speak out.

After discussing for a few words, Lu Zhi and the others couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while, so they prepared to go back home first.

This group of people remounted their horses, returned to their carriages, and prepared to enter the city.

On the other side of Yao's house, Su Miaozhen, as usual, got up early and came to Liu's yard.

After she was released from prison last night, she was unhappy when she saw Yao's family, and she showed the hatred in her heart. After being provoked by Su Qingchun, she argued with him and broke up unhappy.

After returning home, she was very regretful, and also afraid that she would expose her resentment towards the Yao family too early, which would make the Liu family wary of her.

At this time, her marriage with Lu Zhi was still undecided, and she still needed to stay in Yao's house, so naturally she wanted to please the Liu family.

Therefore, Su Miaozhen is still like those days when she just entered the capital of God. As soon as the genius lighted up, she rushed to Liu's yard, ready to wait for her to get up and do some waiting things.

When she came to Liu's room, Liu had already washed and tidied up, but Yao Hui was nowhere to be seen.

At the beginning, Su Miaozhen didn't take it seriously, but after waiting for a while, Yao Wanning came, but Yao Shouning was still there.

The Liu family is upright, and the Yao family's breakfast time has always been very fixed.

If we wait any longer, Yao Ruoyun will probably come to pay his respects, but Su Miaozhen did not see Yao Shouning.

"Cousin is getting up late?"

She was a little uneasy for no reason, and always felt that some things were out of her control.

Worried, she couldn't hold back, and subconsciously asked Fengchun and Madam Cao while they were laying out the dishes:
"Breakfast is about to be served, don't you need to wait for her?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she sensed that Yao Wanning turned her head to look at her, and when Su Miao really wanted to turn around to look, she saw Yao Wanning holding her teacup with her head down, without saying a word.

The line of sight that Su Miaozhen noticed before was like his own illusion.

But it was also because of this glance that Su Miaozhen realized that during her time in prison, the Yao family seemed to have undergone many changes.

Yao Wanning, who was originally dying, seemed to be recovering, and could walk on the ground, and could also enter and leave Liu's courtyard.

Compared with the memory of her previous life, she seemed to be a completely different person when she was too sick to get out of bed.

Many things in this life seem to be different, this change makes Su Miaozhen feel a little uneasy, as if many things are out of her control.

Mrs. Liu didn't realize the uneasiness in her heart after she asked this question, so she shook her head:

"Don't wait for her, she has something to do today and has already gone out with your uncle."

"Going out?" Su Miaozhen was startled, the bad feeling became stronger, she asked impatiently:
"It's so early in the morning, where can Cousin Shouning go?"

When she asked this, even though she was laughing, her hands were intertwined with each other, grasping extremely tightly, and her knuckles were so hard that they were almost white.

Yao Wanning raised her head, seeing this scene just in time, her eyes flashed with doubts, she felt that something was wrong with Su Miao's performance.

Liu Shi didn't want to say it at first, but Su Miaozhen was not an outsider, so she sighed after hearing this:

"The eldest princess is going out to hunt today. She likes to keep quiet, so she sent someone to invite her to go with her. She went out early this morning."

He does not mean that.

Su Miaozhen's heart began to 'pound' wildly, at this moment, the 'Divine Metaphor' in her mind sent a reminder:
"Lu Zhi is in Nan'an Mountains, and has wiped out the ethnic group of the snake fairy 'She'."

Hearing this news, Su Miaozhen was shocked.

Since she was a child, she didn't have any precautions or fears towards the monster race, but because of the 'divine metaphor', she had a vague intimacy with the monster race.

Hearing the reminder at this time, an unexplained sadness seemed to emerge from her sea of ​​consciousness, and she was infected by this emotion, revealing a bit of mourning.

But soon, this uncomfortable feeling faded away like a tide. She remembered what Liu Shi said, and she quickly regained her senses.

The ominous premonition came true.

It was really Lu Zhi who asked Yao Shouning to go out, and the eldest princess was just a cover.
