Chapter 316

Zhu Hengrui was amazed.

She knew that Lu Zhi's temperament was the most difficult to tame. In fact, during the several trips between Lu Zhi and Yao Shouning, she was worried that her son had a bad personality and made people cry.

But at this moment, it seemed that the situation was completely different from what she expected.

Yao Shouning's hands and feet were so thin that he could actually make his son stop with just a single yell.

"My lord, why are you running—"

As soon as Yao Shouning finished speaking, the eldest princess also said:
"Yeah, what are you running for?"

She reached out and grabbed the collar of her son's clothes, and said:

"I was talking to Shouning, but you insisted on talking too much, and you were evasive again when you were given a chance to speak."

After finishing speaking, he slapped his son's back with force with his palm:
"I'm sick!"

'boom! '

Yao Shouning's eyebrows twitched at the sound of the slap, but he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Shi Zi seemed indifferent.

"My body is full of mud, it's so dirty, go back and wash up before you talk." The eldest princess scolded.

Lu Zhi ignored her, but pressed his shoulders, and his tall figure escaped his mother's grasp like a loach, and sneaked into Yao Shouning's side, before asking in a low voice:
"How did you come--"

His ears were still a little red, his eyes wandered when he spoke, and he didn't dare to look at Yao Shouning.

When the eldest princess saw that he didn't listen to her, she frowned, and was about to get angry, but was stopped by Lu Wuji.

The great general squeezed out a faint smile on his serious face, and hugged his unhappy wife into his arms.

"What are you pulling me for?"

The eldest princess went to break his fingers, Lu Wuji shook his head, and whispered in her ear:
"Don't disturb them, I have something to tell you." When Lu Wuji said this, his expression turned solemn:
"We found something at the bottom of the Bailing River."

When it comes to business, the eldest princess quickly put away all other moods.

On the other side, Lu Zhi lowered his head, and out of the corner of his eye, his eyes fell on Yao Shouning's toes. He saw that she was wearing a pair of plain shoes without any embroidery. The toes were already wet and the color was slightly darker.

It might be that he had a ghost in his heart, so he just glanced at it, and his ears felt hot. When he was hesitating whether to turn his gaze away, he saw that Yao Shouning's toes had already shifted the direction - which meant that she was going to leave his side.

The son's smile faltered, his brows frowned, and his strike was like lightning, grabbing Yao Shouning by the collar of his cloak, the villain first complained:

"Where do you want to run?"

"I have something to say to the princess—"

She hadn't seen Shizi for a long time, and when she saw him, she hid again, and immediately forgot to say why she came. When Shizi asked, she remembered that something big was about to happen.

"My mother is not deaf." He reminded.

The eldest princess was at the side doing two things, listening to her husband mentioning that the Bailing River seemed to be full of evil spirits, and there seemed to be evil spirits appearing in the bottom of the river. go.

"Princess, the Bailing River will flood tonight!"

Yao Shouning struggled a few times, but found it difficult to break free. He thought that the son had a mischievous heart and wanted to play tricks on himself, so he gave up struggling and yelled at the eldest princess.

After finishing speaking, he looked back at the son, and thought to himself: The princess is indeed right, girls should practice some martial arts, so as not to be teased by the son in the future, and not be able to suppress him.

When everyone on the other side heard this, they were shocked.

Guanshi Lu and the others looked panic-stricken, half-believing - the reason why they didn't fully doubt it was because everyone saw Yao Shouning coming riding a crane with their own eyes. Obviously, what she said was guided by the Confucian master behind her.

Zhu Hengrui and her husband looked at each other, and the expressions of both husband and wife became very ugly.

"Shouning, is that why you came here?"

"Correct!"

Yao Shouning nodded.

Lu Wuji's appearance was rough, but in reality he was rough and delicate. He first raised his hand to signal Yao Shouning to stop talking for now, then moved away from the left and right, and summoned Hei Jia to surround the courtyard, then turned his head to listen, and said:
"Uncle Zhou and others are also here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xiangyi, Zhou Rongying and other members of the Shenwu Sect flew towards him one after another, and landed lightly under the eaves.

"No way."

"General."

As soon as everyone arrived, they bowed their hands first, then bowed to the eldest princess, and finally the old man whom Yao Shouning had met once came out and faced Yao Shouning.

Compared with the sloppy attire in the teahouse in the east of the city that day, Zhou Rongying was wearing a gray and white Confucian dress at this time, and all her hair was tied on the top of her head with hairpins.

His eyes fell on Lu Zhi's hands, and his eyes instantly became deep.

Feeling the slightly dissatisfied stare of this old-fashioned elder, the son let go of his hand in displeasure, then lowered his head and whispered in Yao Shouning's ear:
"Don't run away later, I have something to tell you."

Yao Shouning nodded.

A smile appeared on Zhou Rongying's face, and then she straightened her clothes, folded her hands, bowed and saluted.

"Grandpa Zhou—"

When Yao Shouning saw his actions, he was taken aback immediately, and immediately wanted to back away, subconsciously looking at the eldest princess for help.

Zhou Rongying's beard and hair were white, and he looked very old, but at this time he gave such a big courtesy to himself, which made Yao Shouning a little uneasy.

With a smile on her face, Zhu Hengrui shook her head reassuringly.

"Uncle Zhou is grateful for your life-saving grace. If he doesn't thank you personally, it will be a great hindrance to his Taoism. Don't be afraid, accept it calmly."

Yao Shouning was a little uneasy, but he didn't dodge the words of the eldest princess.

Zhou Rongying didn't speak, but after bowing down and saluting three times earnestly, she nodded and said:

"The princess is right."

He smiled, and his demeanor suddenly softened a lot:

"To tell you the truth, Miss Shouning, when I was young, I met a Taoist senior who told my fate, saying that I was born with Taoism."

Lu Wuji suppressed the anxiety in his heart and said:

"I've never heard my uncle say that."

Zhou Rongying didn't answer him either, and went on to say:

"Shenwu Sect also has contacts with fellow Taoists. The man was very young. I didn't take it seriously at the time, but I asked him a lot, asking him: 'What is my relationship with Taoism?'"

Having said that, he smiled:
"Guess what the Taoist said?"

Lu Zhi is extremely intelligent, while Yao Shouning has the power of foresight, the two have a tacit understanding:
"He said, you will die at the hands of the Taoist?"

"Will you die at the hands of a Taoist priest?"

The two words are different, but the meaning is the same.

Zhou Rongying nodded and said:
"The prince and Miss Shouning are right."

He said seriously:

"This Taoist said that I will die under Taoism in the future, and I will not die well."

"I met this senior. Although he was young at the time, his Taoism skills were extraordinary. He was the best in the world in divination with one finger. He had never made any mistakes. This was a great calamity for me."

Zhou Rongying reached out and twirled her beard, and said with a smile:

"I thought I was doomed, but I didn't expect Sansheng to be lucky enough to meet Miss Shouning in his later years, and you had to give me advice to break my catastrophe and save my old life."

There is an old saying: Once the catastrophe is over, you can keep the clouds open and see the moon.

He said happily:

"Maybe after going through this incident, my cultivation base can still improve. This is all thanks to Miss Shouning, so what the eldest princess said is right. I have grown older by relying on my stupidity and occupied you. It's cheap, don't feel uneasy after being greeted by me, that's definitely not my intention."

He told the past in order to comfort Yao Shouning's heart.

After finishing speaking at this time, Yao Shouning really felt his mood stabilized.

But when she heard "young Taoist priest" and "good at pinching divination", for some reason, Chen Taiwei came to mind.

She remembered that when she visited King Qi's tomb at night, she went out of her mind, and when she came to the palace, she saw the scene of the ghost holding the skeleton in the moonlit night raising her hand to make calculations, and she became more and more sure of her inner speculation.

——This young Taoist priest who pinched Zhou Rongying's fortune-telling back then was definitely Chen Taiwei!
Thinking of this, she blurted out:

"Is this Taoist priest Chen Taiwei?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she shrank her shoulders, but then realized that although her heart was beating a few times, she didn't have the feeling of fear that made her tremble when she thought of Chen Taiwei before. After learning more of Chen Taiwei's secrets, she gradually gained confidence and was no longer afraid of him as before.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that as her strength increases, her state of mind also grows.

Shizi and the others didn't take it seriously either.

That day, Lu Zhi made an oath of heaven in the dragon's veins and obtained the power of national destiny. He was already eager to fight Chen Taiwei to regain the face he lost in front of Yao Shouning that day.

He was extremely confident at this moment, knowing that the word 'Chen Taiwei' was a forbidden area for speech, but he didn't mind when Yao Shouning mentioned it.

The eldest princess and his wife are even more confident in their strength.

"Yes."

Zhou Rongying nodded and said with a hearty smile:
"This senior is indeed amazing. His appearance has remained the same for decades, and has never changed."

"..."

Yao Shouning couldn't help complaining when he heard this.

Zhu Hengrui grinned, and let out a 'chi' laugh:
"This monster way is really weird."

When she was speaking, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a big black shadow flying towards her, with a buzzing sound as its wings vibrated.

The eldest princess stretched out her iron palm like a cattail leaf fan, and precisely grasped the black spot in her palm, with a firm grip, she circulated her true energy and crushed it to death.

"I used to tell fortunes to others, and when I figured out that someone would die, I might not be afraid that my fortune-telling would be inaccurate, so I actually killed someone myself? What kind of coquettish operation is this, and only this kind of people can do it!"

"..." In fact, Yao Shouning also thought the same way, but she was surrounded by elders, and she remembered Liu's past teachings, so she suppressed her complaints.

But after hearing Zhu Hengrui's complaints, he agreed in his heart and kept nodding.

But after nodding, her eyes fell on the fist raised in mid-air by the eldest princess - Zhu Hengrui seemed to have crushed an insect to death earlier.

"Is it a mosquito?"

Yao Shouning asked curiously.

At this time, the Spring Festival has just passed. If it snows in previous years, the snow may not melt at this time. Where are the mosquitoes coming from in this season?
Everyone also noticed this scene, but Zhu Hengrui didn't interrupt her when she was talking.

When the eldest princess heard Yao Shouning's reminder, she smiled slightly and spread her palms:
"A little thing tainted by evil spirit."

I saw that her palms were bigger than ordinary men, and there were calluses at the base of the five fingers in her palms. She didn't seem like a pampered royal princess, but she carried a sense of strength and beauty.

But these are not the center of attention.

In the palm of her hand lay a bug whose head had been crushed.

The worm had a long beak needle, and its head was crushed, but the beak needle was the only one that was not damaged.

It has grown several slender legs, and it is still kicking non-stop at this moment.

The body was supposed to be black, but the bulging belly bulged and sucked, exuding a kind of redness, which made it appear reddish brown, which was a bit weird.

From the outside, it doesn't look like a mosquito, but the glowing belly looks a bit like a firefly, but it is more ferocious and bigger than a firefly.

When Zhu Hengrui pinched it, the insect looked like it was not dead yet.

The few people present were all extraordinary people, and they recognized at a glance that the red lights were not normal, and seemed to carry a faintly demonic aura.

Thinking of this, everyone's expression froze.

The eldest princess frowned with her thick eyebrows, and also realized that the situation was not as simple as she imagined.

She knows her strength in her heart. She just squeezed her hand before, not to mention mosquitoes, rats and ants. Even some monsters with superficial cultivation can be crushed to death by her palm—but this thing is not dead yet. .

Lu Wuji stretched out his hand from her palm and pinched the insects with long legs that were still instinctively kicking in his palm. His spiritual power was running, his face was covered with a layer of light mist, and there seemed to be a layer of light between his eyebrows and eyes. Angry-eyed phantom.

When Yao Shouning saw it, he recognized the Yin God behind him. According to Lu Zhi, it was the evil spirit of Buddhism possessed by Lu Wuji.

But this is the first time since she opened her eyes, she discovered that General Lu used this trick.

Under the crushing pressure of the glaring King Kong shadow, the bug struggling between Lu Wuji's fingers was crushed and burst.

After the worm's body and belly burst, what was sprayed was not bright red juice, but a large amount of red air, which dispersed with a strong stench.

As soon as the evil spirit dissipated, the bug that was kicking and struggling before died instantly.

"It's demonic energy!"

"Demon!"

"..."

Xu Xiangyi, Zhou Rongying, Luo Ziwen, Duan Changya and others looked solemn and spoke together.

Lu Wuji frowned tightly, with a bit of worry in his expression:

"Something is going to happen!"

The eldest princess swept away the previous relaxed expression, and was also a little anxious:
"Shouning, you said something will happen to the Bailing River tonight?"

"Correct!"

Yao Shouning nodded.

"Let's go, let's talk in the house first." It was windy and rainy outside, and it was extremely cold. Lu Wuji waved his hand, and Madam Du went down to prepare hot tea knowingly.

Everyone felt heavy and sat down after entering the room.

None of the people present were outsiders.

What's more, the matter has come to the present, and it is related to the lives of many people, so she can't help concealing it.

So before she sat still, she said:
"I 'saw' it. Tonight, the Bailing River broke its embankment and destroyed the observation tower of the imperial capital."

After she finished speaking, she told everyone the scene that happened in the realm of foresight at that time.

When they heard that the storm was raging at night, and the sound of the wind and rain covered up the transmission of the bell, causing the flood to rush into the capital city of God like no one else, everyone's expressions were extremely solemn.

"Although the uncle on duty rang the bell desperately, the sound did not travel far." Yao Shouning pursed his lips, and then said:
"What's more, even if the news spread, but the night was quiet and everyone was completely unprepared—"

The people sitting in the room were all of extraordinary status, but they were all quietly listening to her.

It was the first time for Yao Shouning to meet everyone's gaze, his heart beat fast and his voice trembled.

She saw Lu Wuji's serious gaze, the eldest princess' solemn expression, Xu Xiangyi's brows were tightly frowned, and Zhou Rongying was a little worried...

The girl's voice became smaller and smaller. At this moment, Lu Zhi, who was sitting beside her, reached out and tugged at her sleeve. She bit her lip nervously, and when she felt Shizi's movement, she subconsciously turned her head.

Then a cup of hot tea was stuffed into her hand.

The hot air rose with the fragrance of tea, and Shizi stood beside her, as if he became a solid guardian by her side every time the two of them acted alone.

The sockets of her eyes suddenly became hot, and her tense heart followed the cup of hot tea, and the warmth spread all over her body, and her rapid heartbeat tended to ease.

Yao Shouning turned his head and smiled at Shizi. Seeing her bright eyes, Shizi was so cute for a moment, and he smiled back at her unsuspectingly.

Just as he was about to say a few more words of encouragement to her, Yao Shouning felt that he mustered up his courage and turned his head.

"..." Shizi's expression froze, and finally said in a small voice, "Hmph!"

No one paid attention to his little emotions, and everyone's minds were caught by the disaster.

"When the flood enters, if there is no precaution, I am afraid that it will cause a large number of casualties in the city of God."

Holding the hot tea, she stopped shaking her hands and said seriously:
"Grandfather means that he wants to ask the eldest princess and the general's mansion to come forward and alienate the people in the city immediately before it gets dark, so as to reduce casualties."

Even if the flood still enters and the houses are destroyed, at least people are still alive.

As for the follow-up disaster relief matters, with the shrewdness of the eldest princess and others, they should be able to arrange as much as possible.

After she finished speaking, she sat back in her seat gracefully, and then took a sip of tea lightly, only feeling the aroma of the tea in her mouth, and the heat flowed down her throat into her stomach, leaving a long aftertaste of sweetness in her heart.

"It smells so good." She looked up at Lu Zhi, and said with a smile:
"Thank you, son."

Lu Zhi was a little sullen before, but seeing her smile and thank her now, he no longer felt awkward:
"If you like, there are more."

After the two whispered a few words, they both restrained their expressions and listened to the adults discussing.

The eldest princess was in a heavy heart.

"There have been two consecutive heavy rains this year, and I felt something was wrong, and now disasters have indeed come." Lu Wuji sighed, "It's really troublesome."

"If it doesn't break, it won't stand."

The eldest princess could figure it out, and said very calmly:

"In recent years, Zhu Dingchen has gone crazy, bewitched by the demon way, obsessed with cultivating immortals, regardless of the suffering of the people, searching for people's fat and people's ointment, and using it to refine some ghost medicine."

The more she spoke, the more irritable she became:

"He didn't dare to eat these pills himself, but he just took them as treasures and gave them to one to another. It's clear that he was testing the medicines with people!"

If it is said that she still had a little bit of hope for this younger brother before, but that day she witnessed Zhu Dingchen's cruelty, dismembering his body for fun, and when he knew that her son might be in trouble, but prevented her and Lu Wuji from leaving the rescue, She has lost patience with Zhu Dingchen, only disgust.

"The embankment has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is very likely that the flood will break through the embankment."

Xu Xiangyi added:
"What's more, the person who 'lives' in the Bailing River is that great man."

Even though he is dead, Taizu, who was able to suppress Daqing's luck with his body and was nourished by the dragon's energy for hundreds of years, once fell into evil ways, his strength is as high as the sky.

"In the records left by Marquis Gu of Shenwumen, there was one thing mentioned. It was said that among the Bianji clan, Mr. Xu once said—" After he finished speaking, he glanced at Yao Shouning and paused for a moment.

Hearing this, Yao Shouning was slightly distracted, and suddenly remembered that in the underground palace of King Qi, when Chen Taiwei performed the magic descend operation, when he touched his forehead, his consciousness seemed to enter an extraordinary world, as if he had also met someone Mr Xu'...

She was thinking about something, and then she heard Zhou Rongying say:
"People like Taizu are born with the luck of heaven and earth, and they are born to be extraordinary and successful." He explained:

"This ability to absorb luck can absorb both good luck and resentment."

Everyone is not an ordinary person, and they have already understood the meaning of his words.

Zhou Rongying went on to say:

"If you absorb the fate of destiny, you will be helped by the way of heaven, and you will achieve extraordinary dominance, and you will be a generation of heroes; but if you absorb resentment and bad luck, then you may become a first-class evil spirit in the world, causing disasters. The common people, the human world, become the peerless devil lord."

"..."

Everyone dared not speak out.

During the 700 years since the founding of the Daqing Dynasty, there have been countless disasters and twists and turns. According to Zhou Rongying, after the remains of the Taizu were defiled, the power is now so terrifying.

Such a fierce god, what can ordinary people use to fight?
Everyone feels a little heavy.

At this moment, the eldest princess added lightly:
"It's not just that." She was born in the royal family, and she sees many tricks and schemes more clearly than others:
"If the identity of Taizu is exposed, it will have a huge impact on Daqing's foundation."

Taizu killed demons to establish the country and saved the people from the fire and water. 700 years later, this former ancestor has become a demon that has harmed countless people. This is a great irony. It's about to collapse.

"This disaster, no matter what, must be withstood." Zhu Hengrui said.

Lu Wuji looked at the dignified expressions of everyone, and added:
"Not only that."

What he said made everyone look at each other in blank dismay, almost afraid to continue listening.

The situation was already very bad, but it seemed that Lu Wuji had discovered other things.

"You found something by the Bailing River?"

Lu Wuji nodded.

At this moment, Lu Zhi leaned over beside Yao Shouning and whispered:
"During this period of time, my father and I have been walking along the banks of the Bailing River," sometimes trying to dive into the water, "We want to find the place where the evil spirit is strong, and find the hiding place of Taizu."

He was unintentionally broken by Duan Changya that day, at first he wished he could see Yao Shouning immediately, but as time passed, he became timid.

It’s weird.

He was fearless in the past, joking and playing with her without any scruples.

Now that I found out that I wanted to, I was a little afraid to talk to her and get along with her.

The prince avoided saying that he didn't dare to see her, but said:
"I know you are worried about your sister's affairs, so I want to solve the matter as quietly as possible after finding Taizu, and I want to give you a surprise—"

Having said that, he heaved a long sigh:

"I didn't know the result was not as expected."

The Yaozu have planned for many years, how can they make them solve it in a few days-not to mention that he, the son of luck, can't do it, even the king of heaven and I can't do it.
