Fu Shifeng

Chapter 191 I am who I am
The moment Cheng Sanwu soaked his body in the Baihua Soup, he felt so comfortable that he almost moaned. It looked like an ordinary warm and fragrant soup, but it was like a thick nectar. He felt so comfortable in it that he felt relieved of all fatigue, sleepiness, and internal and external discomfort. Disperse them all.

Mrs. Dan also took off her clothes, came to Cheng Sanwu's side, and whispered softly: "I'll wipe your Majesty's back."

Cheng Sanwu did not refuse and allowed Madam Dan to manipulate her. He even raised his eyes to look at Jie Yuniang. The two looked at each other for a moment. In the end, Jie Yuniang was defeated and took the initiative to take off her clothes and get into the pool, but remained with Cheng Sanwu. A certain distance.

"You..." Jie Yuniang intended to let Cheng Sanwu reveal the truth. Taking into account Mrs. Dan's situation, she had to change her tone and asked respectfully: "I heard that His Majesty passed away in Cuiwei Palace on Zhongnan Mountain, why did he come back now?" Appearing in the human world? Could it be that he is destined to be an immortal?"

Cheng Sanwu curled his lips and replied: "Immortal fate? That's an understatement. Looking at my appearance now, how old do you think I am?"

Jie Yuniang looked at him for a moment. In terms of facial appearance, Cheng Sanwu was certainly not old, but he was not young and handsome either. So she said, "You have already passed, but you will not be confused before you arrive."

"Isn't it more than 30 for a well-mannered person?" Cheng Sanwu sneered, and then said: "If you have to count from the time I can remember, then I am probably 78 years old this year."

Jie Yuniang's face was startled, and then she calculated silently in her mind, twirling her fingers around the wet ends of her hair: "That's not right, if we count from His Majesty's birthday, it's already been more than two decades. How old are you, and how beautiful you are? …”

But after thinking about it, Jie Yuniang realized that the man in front of her was indeed not Emperor Taizu himself, and he was by no means disguised as Taizu.

"This Baihua Soup is very comfortable, but it reminds me of something." Cheng Sanwu said in a somewhat ethereal tone, looking up at the night sky with the moon hanging high in the sky: "I seem to have grown up in a similar soup pool, growing up from a young age. As big as I am now, when I started to remember, my body was already like this."

No matter how well-informed Jie Yuniang was, she couldn't understand what Cheng Sanwu said for a while, so she could only ask: "Are you not born and raised by your parents?"

"This isn't too unusual for you flower spirits, right?" Cheng Sanwu said with a smile.

Jieyu Niang had already guessed that Cheng Sanwu had a special origin, but before she could ask, Mrs. Dan stretched out her arms to hug Cheng Sanwu and said softly: "Since your Majesty has experienced the fate of immortality, he is already an outsider and is not bound by the world. , why not just stay in Guoseyuan, okay?"

Cheng Sanwu was angry when he heard this, and cursed in his heart: "I've already talked about this, are you still deceiving yourself?"

"He only has Li Zhaozhen in his heart, and he only hopes that you are Li Zhaozhen."

At this time, Taotie, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly appeared, like a fairy, walking on the flower-scented soup with his hands behind his hands. The moment he set his feet, the subtle ripples caused by the collision of petals on the water made people suspect that he was not an illusion, but a real person. figure.

But neither Jieyu Niang nor Dan Niang were aware of this at all. The corners of Cheng Sanwu's eyes moved slightly, and Taotie immediately added: "Oh, Master Wen also hopes that you are Li Zhaozhen, otherwise he would not take the fetus of his good disciple." The essence and blood will shape your physical body."

"No." Cheng Sanwu opened his mouth to answer, and he didn't know whether he was answering Mrs. Dan or Taotie: "I'm not Li Zhaozhen, I'm Cheng Sanwu."

Madam Dan tightened her arms, and Cheng Sanwu could feel the soft jade on her back trembling slightly. It was difficult for her to accept this answer.

"I know, you hope that I am Li Zhaozhen, and some other people hope that I am Li Zhaozhen, but after all, I am not." Cheng Sanwu pressed Madam Dan's smooth little hand, and at the same time raised his eyes to look at Jie Yuniang: "Emperor Taizu You came to take a flower bath because you have been suffering from injuries for many years, am I right?"

Jieyu Niang nodded slightly, and her face turned slightly gloomy. She still remembered that when Mrs. Dan arranged the flower bath for the first time, Emperor Taizu took off his inner and outer royal clothes, revealing his body that was almost covered with bruises, which shocked the flower spirits. The color is eclipsed.

Taizu of Great Xia experienced dozens of battles and hundreds of small battles in his life. Especially in his early years, if he encountered a strong enemy, he often personally scouted the enemy's situation, charged into battle, and ran long distances. Even with a helmet and armor, he was still inevitably injured.So much so that Emperor Taizu died just after his fiftieth year, which was not considered a long and prosperous life.

Especially the flower essences like Lady Dan, in fact, they knew very well that Emperor Taizu suffered from injuries and illnesses in his later years, and some medicines for old injuries were ineffective.The flower bath was to relieve his pain. The water used in the bath was all flower and tree nectar extracted from Guoseyuan Qunfang. It was full of vitality and dense, making people feel like they were in the amniotic fluid of the mother's womb.

Cheng Sanwu's body at this moment does not have even an inch of scars. This is not entirely due to Taotie's immortality, but also because after the Xuan Mizhu entered the body, it can be said that he has experienced a transformation.

In fact, besides having the same face as Emperor Taizu, Cheng Sanwu's body also gradually took a different path.

Taotie took the opportunity to speak: "Master Wen saw that Li Zhaozhen was covered with old wounds, so he must have felt that he was not useful. But since Li Zhaozhen has ascended to the throne of the Human Emperor and is mysteriously connected with the Dragon Qi of Nine Provinces, his Fetal Essence and Blood will be able to comply with the Nine Dragons Ban. Thus creating a perfect cage. This kind of calculation is really vicious."

"You can be His Majesty, and you can only be His Majesty." Mrs. Dan hugged her tighter and tighter, refusing to let go. Cheng Sanwu could feel her crying, her thick eyelashes blinking, and tears dripping on Cheng Sanwu's back. , rolling down like pearls.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, why don't you just accept it?" Taotie said with a smile: "Although Guoseyuan is not a big power, it is not a bad idea to treat it as a harem. How comfortable is it to arrange flowers and collect honey in your free time? You are always with someone Isn’t it boring to hang out with dominatrixes?”

"Have you ever thought about why Li Zhaozhen didn't accept you as his concubine as he is a king and rich in the world?" Cheng Sanwu smiled lightly and said: "Just because you are a non-human flower essence? Not necessarily, right? Even if there is no love for a hundred years, ten years of love will be enough." Marriage in this world is not a bad idea. After he dies, you can still get away with it based on your ability, but he still lets you stay in Guoseyuan. Why is that?"

Mrs. Dan did not answer. Cheng Sanwu raised his eyes and answered Mrs. Yu. She took the initiative to answer: "His Majesty once said - 'A hundred flowers blooming on the branches of the mountains and wild branches should be admired by the world, and the master should not enjoy them alone'."

"You're so fucking pretentious." Cheng Sanwu cursed, and then said: "It's nonsense to be admired by the world. Without the appreciation of the world, the flowers will not bloom? When the flowers bloom and fade, that is the fate of heaven and earth. It has never been the case. What’s the saying ‘it’s not appropriate for a master to have it all to himself’, he can’t have it all to himself!”

The more Cheng Sanwu talked, the more annoyed he became. He broke away from the restraints, turned around and grabbed Mrs. Dan's arms, and growled at her: "It's hard to cultivate into a human form without being restrained by the original body, but you want to go to the palace where the sun never shines." Drill into the wall, I think you are terminally ill and stupid! So what if I look exactly like Li Zhaozhen? Why do you want me to be your sweetheart? Li Zhaozhen doesn't want you to be restrained, but why do you insist on restraining me? "

Mrs. Dan's delicate body twitched, she lowered her head and shed tears, her tears dripping into the soup pool: "But I can't forget it, I really can't forget it..."

"Who told you to forget?" Cheng Sanwu refuted again: "You love Li Zhaozhen, and no one will stop you, but Li Zhaozhen is dead, absolutely dead! I am not him, and no one can replace him. Li Zhaozhen let you go Freedom, why do you still trap yourself in the past? In this great world, can’t you live for yourself?!”

Mrs. Dan stiffened and looked up at Cheng Sanwu, her eyes filled with tears. Such a beautiful woman was crying, and she wished she could hold her in her arms to comfort her, but Cheng Sanwu didn't want to do that at this moment.He had mixed feelings in his heart. On the one hand, he had admiration for Emperor Taizu, but on the other hand, he resented Li Zhaozhen. It seemed that everyone wanted him to be Li Zhaozhen, and only in this way could he be allowed to stand in this world.

Some words are not only said to Mrs. Dan, but also to herself.

"Fu Shifeng and his gang separated you and me under the guise of justice for the common people, and asked you to serve as the jailer of this cage. I can't be free, but you can't be free either." Taotie's figure flashed back and forth in various places in the soup pool, like Ghostly:
"You should be able to feel it now, right? The biggest pain is not to have your veins and orifices cut out, but to be constrained by heaven and earth and unable to stretch, as if everything in the world is against you. There is also a group of ants trying to tell you what is right. What's wrong, if you ask me, it's all bullshit!"

Jie Yuniang watched Cheng Sanwu scold Madam Dan, feeling both intolerable and a bit shocked.

Although Cheng Sanwu was not like those senior masters who quoted scriptures, and his words were as straightforward as a country man, he also seemed to be somewhat mysterious, which made Jie Yuniang listen to him in rapt attention.

The words left by Emperor Taizu, "Hundred flowers are admired by the world," can actually be regarded as the foundation of the practice of Guoseyuan Qunfang. The flower essences, guided by their own beauty, have been observing all kinds of things in the world and reading all the desires of the world for hundreds of years. Everyone has his own success.

But what Cheng Sanwu said now is a step further. It is not what the world appreciates. The pavilions stand alone in the sky and the earth, showing a vast realm that has never been seen before. The shock can be imagined.

Jieyu Niang is not even the most enlightened among the girls in Guoseyuan. She can understand something, so how could Mrs. Dan fail to hear the mystery in Cheng Sanwu's words?Moreover, being scolded by Cheng Sanwu made a lot of panic thoughts in his heart go away.

"I, I..." Mrs. Dan's body became weak and she fell into the water of the soup pool. She was so lost that she became even more poignant.

Cheng Sanwu lowered his head to look at the graceful and beautiful woman, and rarely felt any desire. He said in a deep voice: "I am not Li Zhaozhen. I don't have his experience and fortune, and I don't know his joys and sorrows. You know very well that Li Zhaozhen is dead. , is nothing more than indulging in the good times of the past, wanting to find those memories and seek comfort from me."

"Stop talking." Mrs. Dan lowered her head to hide her face, not out of shame, but because she couldn't bear to think about it.

But Cheng Sanwu still insisted: "I am not Li Zhaozhen. I have my own way to go. I don't want to and cannot become Li Zhaozhen. And you also have your own way, so why bother each other?"

When Mrs. Dan heard this, she could no longer restrain herself and immediately covered her face and fled.Seeing this, Jie Yuniang was shocked and doubtful, and looked at Cheng Sanwu fiercely: "If something happens to Mrs. Dan, I will definitely not spare you!"

After leaving these words, Jie Yuniang hurriedly left the soup pool, picked up her clothes and chased after Dan Niangzi.

Cheng Sanwu let out a long sigh, sat down in the soup pool again, slurped water and rubbed his face. Taotie stood on the water and said with a smile: "Is this your way of helping people overcome the disaster? It's too superficial and straightforward. It's a shame that you are still being brushed off. Shi Feng has been training me for so many years, but in the end I haven’t learned any clever words.”

"Is it useful to just pretend to be an expert?" Cheng Sanwu retorted with a sneer: "I'm not Li Zhaozhen. These words are not used to prevaricate, but to confess what's in my heart to Mrs. Dan. The truth often hurts, but I don’t want to accommodate her.”

Taotie slowly approached, bent down and asked, "If you don't want to be Li Zhaozhen, then who do you want to be? Cheng Sanwu?"

"I am who I am." Cheng Sanwu raised his eyes and looked at his other self.

"Cheng Sanwu is just a container for Fu Shifeng to realize his wishful thinking. Even this name was randomly chosen by the country people." Taotie laughed and said: "If it weren't for your relationship with Fu Shifeng, do you think you can be safe? Are you based on the world? You are just an illusory shadow from beginning to end."

Cheng Sanwu narrowed his eyes and said nothing, Taotie simply said: "You know very well that it was Yan Fengjun who brought you here. He guessed that you were related to Li Zhaozhen, so he wanted to test it with the flower spirits of Guoseyuan. What's the use of asking Jie Yuniang to help you hide it? I'm sure the news has spread by now."

Cheng Sanwu thought for a moment, and the figure of the young maid in green flashed in his mind, and he understood immediately.

"This is the saddest thing about you. What others see is not Cheng Sanwu, but Li Zhaozhen, Fu Shifeng's conspirator." Taotie said in a faint tone, "But you still have a choice."

"You want me to obey you?" Cheng Sanwu asked in a cold tone.

"It's not about obeying me. It doesn't matter who obeys whom between you and me." Taotie was quite generous: "Breaking the differences between us and restoring our true colors will be both beneficial and harmful to you and me."

Cheng Sanwu was silent for a long time, with no sign of approval or disapproval on his face. Taotie was patiently waiting for the other party's response.

"If you can really restore your true colors, what are you going to do?" Cheng Sanwu suddenly asked.

Taotie held his chin and thought: "In my opinion, there is actually nothing to do. It is just to follow your heart, devour all living creatures, and then return this world to chaos."

Cheng Sanwu was not surprised at all by this answer. Taotie was not a scheming and unpredictable person, but rather very pure - although it was another form of purity.

"From the supreme power in the past to what you and I are like now, in Buddhist terms, it can be said that we have suffered the five declines of heaven and man." Taotie said: "Only for this reason, I not only want to take revenge on Fu Shifeng, We have to pay the price for all the people in this world. When the time comes, we can return to our true colors and eat a few million to appetize them!"

When Cheng Sanwu heard these words, he simply leaned back, leaned against the edge of the pool and closed his eyes to fall asleep.

"What? You're not happy?" Taotie reminded: "Don't forget, even if you do nothing, you are still half Taotie."

"I am who I am." Cheng Sanwu opened his eyes angrily: "It's not your turn to make a conclusion yet!"
