Fu Shifeng

Chapter 173 The deduction is successful
When Changqing opened the door and went out with some new understanding, it was already dark.When he came to the hall, he happened to see Afu, who had finished bathing and changing clothes. She looked refreshed and rosy, and was having a meal while Qin Wangshu and others were waiting on her.

"A good news or a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Afu put on her home skirt, held her chin in one hand, and fiddled with the soup in front of her with an elegant expression.

"Hear the good news first." Changqing looked a little embarrassed and did not sit down.

"I can indeed restore the chaotic Qi in Cheng Sanwu's body to the Dantian Qi sea, but it will take a while." Afu said: "I suggest that Cheng Sanwu be taken to the Terma Palace to cultivate himself with the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers. Your body may be able to recover faster.”

"What about the bad news?"

"I'm afraid Cheng Sanwu won't wake up so easily." Afu stared at the soup in front of him and stopped: "I just tried it. Although his soul has not dissipated, he has no response to the outside world."

Chang Qing frowned: "Is it possible that even if you sort out the chaotic energy in your body, you can't wake him up?"

In fact, Afu knew that Cheng Sanwu had been fighting against a certain terrifying existence.Now he is unconscious, but in the closed sea of ​​consciousness, a fierce conflict must be breaking out, and outsiders have no way to intervene.

Through the guidance of Aiki, Afu can certainly restrain the chaotic energy in Cheng Sanwu's body. This may give him more room for conflicts in the sea of ​​consciousness, but Afu himself has not made it clear how much impact it will have. in conclusion.

"Cheng Sanwu's current situation is neither an injury nor an obsession. It's more like he has encountered a critical juncture in his cultivation." Afu has not yet planned to reveal Cheng Sanwu's true situation to Changqing: "Outsiders can't help much. He can only look at himself."

These words may be intended to comfort, but they are definitely not fabricated out of thin air.Afu and Cheng Sanwu jointly studied "Liuhe Yuanzhang", and naturally they knew that there were several realms involved, involving physical and mental changes, and the situation often varied from person to person.

Cheng Sanwu was blessed with the magical power of the God General by Evergreen, and the energy of heaven and earth was poured into the meridians. This move was too dangerous to be true, but it also greatly tempered Cheng Sanwu's body. The Yangming inner breath was almost refined and sublimated in one fell swoop, and he was able to achieve the Three Yang True gas.

If it were an ordinary martial artist, if he wanted to break through this realm, he would also need to undergo great training and put in a lot of hard work.

Afu and Cheng Sanwu combined their qi and breath control to help him gather the three yang true qi into the Dantian qi sea.Thanks to the abundant vitality of Xuan Mi Zhu, Afu herself also got a lot of benefits.

Fortunately, the two of them have succeeded in practicing the "Liuhe Yuanzhang" together. The Qi movement resonates with each other. Even if Cheng Sanwu is unconscious, as long as the Qi movement of each other is connected, it will naturally fit together like a mortise and tenon joint.If it were any other woman, no matter how deep her inner strength was, she would not be able to obtain the vitality and nourishment of the Xuan Mizhu.

Although Afu once regretted not being able to monopolize the Xuan Mizhu, now she can still benefit from the dual cultivation of Aiki, which at least makes her feel that she is not too disadvantaged.

In fact, Afu hopes Cheng Sanwu wakes up more than Changqing at the moment. By then, she will have to squeeze out a large amount of "interest money" from him to make up for the loss of giving up the Xuan Mizhu!

As for Changqing, how could he have expected that the dominatrix would have such thoughts? He just paced back and forth and said thoughtfully: "It seems that this is the only way... Then will you come with us?"

"What else?" Afu glanced at Changqing, thinking that although this little baby was innocent, it didn't look too annoying now.

"Aren't you still tracking down the Pure Light Goddess? Are there any clues now?" Changqing asked.

Afu showed a helpless smile: "I messed up the matter. Eunuch Feng asked me to stand by. The matter has been handed over to Lord Qiangyu."

"That archer who specializes in stabbing people from the back?" Changqing seemed displeased: "Tracking down the goddess of Jingguang can't be accomplished by martial arts alone."

"I heard what you said, you seem to have a lot of experience?" Afu asked.

"I can't talk about my experience." Changqing looked thoughtful: "I'm just wondering, whether it's the Pure Light Goddess or the plague of scorch borer, what is the purpose of all these actions behind the scenes?"

"It is not uncommon to make profits out of chaos from ancient times to the present." Afu actually has doubts. If the mastermind behind the previous chaos in Hebei was his powerful enemy who twice severely wounded him, then there should be some reason for his actions this time. kind of purpose.

From the Changshengren rebellion to the Jiankang scorch borer epidemic, they seemed to have indirectly contributed to the change of dynasties. It can be seen that this person had great intentions and was able to interfere in the rise and fall of the people.

But Chang Qing shook his head: "Of course there are people who can profit from chaos, but now Daxia can't be said to be a chaos. If you really want to think about it, the chaos in Hebei before was nothing more than a common scene in disaster years. Back then in the Western Regions At that time, the turmoil caused by Anquiti was far greater than now."

"Do you think the mastermind behind the scenes has another agenda?" Afu knew that Changqing was good at the art of war, and might be able to see through these conspiracies.

Changqing became serious: "As long as there is any conspiracy, the beneficiary is naturally the most suspicious. Who is the beneficiary of the current chaos in Hebei?"

Afu followed this line of thinking and said: "To put it bluntly, the biggest impact in Hebei this time is nothing more than drought and locust plague. As for using the scorch borer to drive the people into madness, they also killed a Dingzhou governor and coerced some refugees and bandits. The plundering in the countryside is easily put down by the officers and soldiers as soon as they arrive. Who can benefit from this?"

"The drought and locust plague itself are enough to cause powerful local households to annex land." Changqing said.

Afu couldn't help but laugh and said: "Back then, you and I laughed at Cheng Sanwu's stupidity. Why have you become like this now? A master who can drive the Pure Light Goddess and launch a plague of scorch borers just to annex the land? Is this really possible? How greedy for money?"

"This is just one of them. If we want to investigate in the future, we can identify the people who benefited based on the land ownership and property management after this year's disaster, especially if there are significant changes."

Hearing Chang Qing's words, Afu's eyes lit up. She had never thought of this before. She raised her chin slightly and said, "Continue talking."

"In my opinion, the chaos in Hebei has subsided now, not because we have put it down, but because the mastermind behind the scenes has taken the initiative to stop." Chang Qing tapped her finger on the table: "I originally thought that after praying for rain to eliminate the disaster, The mastermind behind the scenes would choose to take the initiative to stop and avoid the limelight. But on the night when the rain ceremony ended, your internal servants suffered from scorch borers. Obviously, they have been paying close attention to our every move, so they can grasp the timing of action so accurately. "

Afu's face darkened: "But there have been no unusual events recently, so what's the explanation?"

"The mastermind behind the scenes stopped, either because what should be done has been done, or because he wanted to do it but couldn't do it." Chang Qing said: "The former is useless, anyway, we don't know the other party's true intention. The latter is interesting, The key to breaking the conspiracy behind the scenes recently may still be the battle at Yongning Temple."

Afu waved behind her, Qin Wangshu said yes, and then brought food and wine.

"You said the key lies in Yongning Temple. Do you think that the fierce battle was also arranged by the mastermind behind the scenes?" Afu took the initiative to pour wine for Changqing. With her temperament, she rarely showed kindness to others, which shows her appreciation for Changqing. "I think...at least half of it is." Changqing sat down and raised his glass.

"How can you even say half of this kind of thing?" Afu smiled.

"You were not around at the time. When Cheng Sanwu saw Wu Luohu for the first time, he was immediately furious, and he drew his sword and killed him without hesitation." Chang Qing said: "I suspect that Cheng Sanwu should know Wu Luohu, and I have an enmity with him. As for that Yufu Chu, I don’t need to say more. I feel strange, why is it such a coincidence that Cheng Sanwu met so many enemies here?”

"So you think this is a conspiracy by the mastermind behind it?" Afu asked.

"Yes, but the real question is, who is the mastermind behind it?" Chang Qing asked.

Afu immediately found something suspicious: "He didn't want to kill Cheng Sanwu, but to deal with Chu Yufu?"

Changqing nodded heavily: "We just killed Wuluohu, and there was an earthquake in Yongning Temple. At that time, Chu Yufu appeared from the smoke, followed by the powerful walking corpse. I guess...the cause of the earthquake was these two Caused by people fighting underground."

"A contest of masters can actually trigger an earthquake and landslide, destroying most of Yongning Temple. I'm afraid there are not many people in the world." Afu Yulu exclaimed.

Changqing explained: "Actually, this is not entirely dependent on martial arts. Yongning Temple is located on an earth vein spiritual cave, and the layout of the main hall can make the sound of sutras and mantras spread along the earth veins. If the earth veins are impacted with appropriate means, It can cause mountains and rivers to shake."

Ah Fu's eyes were opened. Previously, she sent people to search the ruined Yongning Temple, but did not call Chang Qing, so she found the underground tomb without telling him clearly.But Changqing himself was still able to deduce the reasons, and the reasons were clearer. It was much more detailed than what Afu had sent people to dig for half a day.

"Do you know... the identity of that male corpse?" Afu pondered for a while, intending to ask Changqing to act as an adviser, so she planned to tell the truth.

Seeing Changqing's expression of doubt and shaking his head slightly, Afu whispered: "That person is Liu Xuantong."

Hearing this, Changqing's eyes slowly opened wide, he took a long breath, and stood still, as if it took a lot of effort to digest such shocking news.

"Liu Xuantong? The Liu Xuantong who started the rebellion in Hebei more than a hundred years ago?" Changqing couldn't believe it. He saw Afu nodded slightly, raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and muttered: "This makes sense. Liu Xuantong was vaguely aware of it back then. With the reputation of being No. 1 in the world, a body that has been cultivated to the innate state will not be easily corrupted even after death. If it falls into the hands of someone with intentions, it will indeed become an unrivaled weapon."

Afu said with a smile: "But you and Cheng Sanwu can kill such a powerful guy together. That is something that only the great ancestor of this dynasty can do."

"This...how can I compare with Taizu?" Changqing did not dare to boast: "Liu Xuantong is dead after all. Although his body is immortal, he relies solely on instinct to fight against the enemy. His martial arts must be far inferior to what he was in life. It is worse than a corpse. , not too clever.

"It's just that Liu Xuantong was beheaded more than a hundred years ago, and his body must have been taken away early, which is enough to show that the mastermind behind the scenes had a far-reaching plan."

Afu asked: "What do you think the motive behind the scenes was for using Liu Xuantong to kill Chu Yufu?"

Changqing was stunned: "Who can say for sure about this kind of thing? Maybe it was revenge for personal revenge or a conspiracy. But Yongning Temple was probably the mastermind behind the murder arrangement for Chu Yufu, but... it was disrupted by us. ”

Speaking of this, Changqing also felt a little strange, that is, when Liu Xuantong first met Cheng Sanwu, the two sides immediately fell into an endless fierce battle, completely ignoring Chu Yufu who was on the side.

Any movement of a corpse is either driven by a spell, senses vitality and yang energy, or is caused by hatred and obsession during life.

Liu Xuantong was obviously in the last situation, and Chang Qing also sensed it, which meant that he and Cheng Sanwu had great hatred.

If it were just an unknown male corpse, Chang Qing would probably be able to argue, but Liu Xuantong's ability was unquestionable. Even if he used magic, it would be difficult to distort the instinctive feeling of his innate body.

And the more Chang Qing thought about it, the more he felt strange, and immediately asked: "How do you know that the male corpse is Liu Xuantong himself? Where did you get this news?"

"We are from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so we naturally have ways to find out the identity of the body." Afu said casually.

Chang Qing couldn't question the other party's answer, so he could only sort out his thoughts silently: "We showed up at Yongning Temple to kill Wu Luohu and Liu Xuantong. This should be the reason why the mastermind behind the scenes chose to stop temporarily. No matter how you put it, after enduring such a heavy ordeal, We can no longer tolerate losses and continue to incite chaos.”

Changqing himself fell into confusion, but Afu figured it out a lot.She has now determined that Cheng Sanwu has another extremely important identity, and for some reason he has enmity with Chu Yufu, but the other party does not seem to have strong hostility.

And judging from the fact that Chu Yufu gave some advice to Xuan Mizhu to rescue Cheng Sanwu, he was very familiar with Cheng Sanwu's situation and even had some concern for her.

In addition, Yan Fengjun's attitude also made Afu have to pay attention. He was sure that Chu Yufu was a member of Fu Shifeng, and he could easily recognize Liu Xuantong, who had been dead for a hundred years. This ten-year-old chief should have witnessed the siege of Taizu. The grand occasion of killing Liu Xuantong.

What is the relationship between Cheng Sanwu and Fu Shifeng? Afu can't easily come to a conclusion. She even feels that even if Cheng Sanwu is willing to confess the truth to her, it is still not entirely credible.

As for the mastermind behind the plan to deal with Chu Yufu, does he have a grudge against Fu Shifeng?However, according to Eunuch Feng and Yan Fengjun, Fu Shifeng did participate in the dynasty change and had a similar style to the mastermind behind the scenes, which caused Afu to be confused again.

I found that I couldn't figure it out, and the biggest joint was Cheng Sanwu. If I wanted to figure it out, I still had to wait until Cheng Sanwu woke up before I had the chance to ask.

"Thank you for your hard work this time. I have already done a good job for you. As for the rewards and seals, I don't know."

Afu quickly cleared away the gloom in her heart and took the initiative to express her gratitude to Changqing, because according to him, Cheng Sanwu had greatly ruined the plan of the mastermind behind the scenes this time. Even if he could not find him out and completely eliminate the hidden danger, Afu was still quite happy.

"I don't really care." Chang Qing raised his head and drank the wine from the glass: "I just didn't expect that coming to Hebei would involve so many changes... It's better to send Cheng Sanwu to the Terma Palace as soon as possible. I might as well go back and check the Taoist scriptures to see if there are any other ways to wake him up."
