Fu Shifeng

Chapter 233 The sword is restless
In the blink of an eye, the New Year has passed, and the Jianghuai area seems to be peaceful on the surface, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging.

As Captain Shen was assassinated by Chang Qing in public, many leaders of the Shuizhai Cao Gang were severely injured by Cheng Sanwu and his men, which led to civil strife in these Shuizhai Cao Gangs and local bandit riots.

At the same time, Afu also secretly sent people to provoke conflicts among the Jianghuai martial arts sects, spreading rumors, framing, or poisoning and assassinating, which easily caused these martial arts sects to fall into mutual suspicion and conflict. He originally tried to seize Wuling Village and Huzhou Guan's plan completely failed.

Even in this process, Afu recruited a group of people. They were also from Jianghuai martial arts. Either out of fear and coercion, they had to obey the orders of Afu and the Xuanyan clan, or they simply defected to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the sake of power and interests.

Although it is not yet possible to control the Jianghuai Wulin, it is not difficult for Afu to confuse the public and disrupt the situation.

And because of Afu's actions, Mrs. He was able to free her hands to concentrate on rectifying the Guan family in Huzhou.

Mrs. He took advantage of the opportunity to worship ancestors during the New Year, summoned all the relatives of the Guan clan in Huzhou, and directly pointed out in public those scum who tried to collude with outsiders and harmed the clan, expelled them from the Guan clan in Huzhou, and vigorously promoted those who performed well. young sons.

As for Changqing, although he intended to leave, Mrs. He still asked Changqing to stay in Wulingzhuang on the grounds that Sanniang's mind was undecided and she still needed to be taken care of. He couldn't refuse and had to reluctantly agree.

On the contrary, it was Cheng Sanwu who received a message from someone sent by Mr. Zhang, saying that he had discovered anti-party trends in Mingzhou and hoped that he would go and assist in the investigation.

"This news is false."

After learning about the incident, Afu did not hesitate to make a judgment: "Previously, the governor of Mingzhou was killed. Mr. Zhang claimed that it was against the party. However, according to the local Shui tribe, the culprit was the pirates on Wengzhou Island. .”

"Pirates?" Cheng Sanwu asked: "Are these pirates very powerful? How dare they openly kill officials?"

Hu Meier was studying the ink for A Fu at the side, and explained by the way: "Cheng Langjun is so ignorant. There are countless coastal islands in Mingzhou, Taizhou and even the counties further south, and there are countless pirates hiding among them.

"The people in these prefectures and counties rely on the sea to eat. Even the people who are serious about farming and weaving on land will secretly do business with and inform the pirates. These pirates are very fierce, come and go like the wind, and act unscrupulously. There is nothing the government can do.”

A Fuyan said: "The pirate leader on Wengzhou Island is called Sun Longwang. He has many bandits under his command. His big ship can even cross the sea to do business with the Japanese country. His power should not be underestimated."

"How many punches can this dragon king take from me? How does it compare to that iron-backed dragon?" Cheng Sanwu asked.

Afu was writing, and laughed when she heard this: "Sun Longwang is just a bait, I suspect Mr. Zhang is going to take action."

Cheng Sanwu said displeased: "Why do I feel that since I entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I have almost always dealt with my own people? Fan Zhongming is like this, and now Mr. Zhang is also like this."

"Now do you understand what the intrigues of the chamberlain are like?" Afu finished writing a letter, took out the small seal, pressed it, and then handed it to Qin Wangshu.

"It seems that there is a fierce battle to be fought." Cheng Sanwu moved his shoulders and arms without any worries: "It's time for Gu Lianshan to show his face, right? Don't let me wait all these days in vain!"

Ah Fu was not as excited as him. She leaned back on the chair and tapped her fingers: "These days, I have been secretly asking the local monsters in Jianghuai to pay attention, but in the end I still couldn't grasp Gu Lianshan's movements. It can be seen that this person Not only are we prepared for it, but we also have the unpredictable ability of ghosts and gods. This is the ability of the innate realm and cannot be faked."

The innate realm is not just about advanced martial arts, but also refers to the transcendence of body and mind into sainthood.It was originally used to describe the results sought by practitioners, and the three religions have different opinions. In addition to praises such as vast supernatural powers and profound magical power, it is mainly about various mysterious achievements.

After cultivating to this point, one is called a real person by the Tao, an Arhat by the Buddha, or has a longevity of several decades, or can be reincarnated with spiritual consciousness, which is no longer among the ranks of mortals and is rare in the world.

According to Afu, there will be even more profound realms in the future, such as ascending to immortality and attaining Nirvana. These are almost mythical and legendary achievements, which are incredible.

Throughout the ages, there are only a handful of experts who have been able to glimpse this realm.Some figures who are regarded as immortals and Buddhas may have just realized the innate realm for the first time, and are overly praised by mortals because of their magical powers.

When people who practice martial arts want to achieve the innate realm, they often have a different scene.

The first point is that the body and body are not affected by time, the appearance is good, the muscles and bones are not weakened, the skills are not faded, and the life is prolonged. This is the most critical for people who practice martial arts.

Although mastering internal cultivation can keep the body and muscles as strong as possible, the gains will always be limited as long as one has not yet entered the innate realm.Mrs. He was very skilled in martial arts when she was young, and she is still able to fight with others, but she is still not as good as before. This is the best example.

But if you can enter the innate realm, then the rich experience accumulated over the long years, coupled with the physical strength that will not decline, this is the most terrifying thing.

In addition, warriors who have entered the innate realm will also have extraordinary magical powers, all because they have undergone mysterious and mysterious changes in their body and mind, and they have realized the power of creation between heaven and earth, and the inside and outside of the human body are connected with each other.

These miraculous skills and abilities cannot be generalized. Everyone has different skills and martial arts foundations, and the results of their achievements when they reach the innate realm are also different.

And this is what Afu is most worried about. Gu Lianshan's true strength is still unclear. Just his unknown movements and unpredictable ghosts and gods have proven his cleverness.

Especially knowing that Cheng Sanwu no longer had the power of immortality, she was worried about Cheng Sanwu facing Gu Lianshan alone.

"I plan to ask Hu Meier to go with you." Afu thought about it again and again before making a decision.

Cheng Sanwu looked at Hu Meier and asked puzzledly: "Why is it arranged like this?"

"I originally wanted to go with you, but I have received secret reports these days that the rebels in the Muzhou area have begun activities, but the various prefectures and counties are not aware of it. If the war starts, it will definitely be a complete defeat." Afu looked solemn. :
"I have sent a letter to Yangzhou in advance to ask the governor's office to recruit troops and horses for defense, but the situation is not optimistic, so I plan to stick to Huzhou for now, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and at the same time, let other prefectures and counties be allowed to be chaotic."

"I understand if it's inconvenient for you. Then I can go alone." Cheng Sanwu said.

Hu Mei'er took out her embroidered handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, pretending to be aggrieved: "Cheng Langjun rejects people thousands of miles away like this, but it really chills my body and heart."

Cheng Sanwu had a weird expression, and Afu said: "Be gentle with the enemy. To deal with Gu Lianshan, you can't rely on you alone. I have asked Hu Meier to contact the Jiangnan group of demons. Some of them also want to eradicate Gu Lianshan, and they have the ability and means to do so." Quite trustworthy.”

"I'm not familiar with these monsters, so I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the public if I go there," Cheng Sanwu said.

Hu Meier's tears turned into laughter in the blink of an eye: "The news of Cheng Langjun slaying the dragon with his bare hands has long been spread. Monsters don't have so many calculations among themselves. They always believe that the strong is respected. If you can defeat that iron-backed dragon, even if it is Even the old spirit has to respect you three points!"

"That's easy." Cheng Sanwu nodded. "Anyway, be careful when you go." Afu felt that her words were in vain. After getting along with him for the past few years, she knew very well that Cheng Sanwu was difficult to control and could cause big troubles even in front of her.

In this case, it would be better to let him deal with Gu Lianshan and mess up the already unstable situation out of control.

……

"Cheng Sanwu has left Huzhou and is on his way to Mingzhou."

Mr. Zhang took out the secret report from Xinlu's feet, opened it and took a look. Gu Lianshan said to him: "Once you start, you can't stop in the middle. Are you sure you can keep Cheng Sanwu's life here?"

Gu Lianshan did not answer immediately. He slowly opened the sword bag in front of him and took out a sword with an ebony sheath and a gold ring.

When you pull the sword out of its sheath, you will see that the sword has six sides, a thick ridge and a broad blade. The blades on both sides are not parallel, but gradually narrow. From a distance, it looks like a sharp cone, making it easier to stab.

Zhang Lao's martial arts skills were mediocre and he didn't know much about the shape of swords. He just felt that this sword should be worn by battlefield generals, unlike the weapons commonly used by swordsmen who traveled around the world.

Gu Lianshan raised his hand and stroked the sword body gently, and wisps of sword energy escaped from the fingertips and seeped into the sword, like feeding a young beast waiting to be fed.

Mr. Zhang knew that warriors like Gu Lianshan, who had entered the innate realm, were physically and mentally different from ordinary people, and would often behave strangely. He could not disturb him, so he could only wait obediently for the other party to warm up the sword.

After a while, Gu Lianshan put his sword back into its sheath and replied bluntly: "I will take Cheng Sanwu's life."

"Okay, as long as you say this." Mr. Zhang nodded heavily, and then said: "There have been sudden disturbances in several Shuizhai Cao gangs recently. It is probably the Shangzhangjun who is secretly sabotaging it. She should have noticed that I Some planning."

Gu Lianshan said: "The Shuizhai Cao Gang controls a large number of ships, which is the key to transporting troops. Is she doing this to hinder the incoming troops?"

Zhang Laoyi waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, the situation is still under my control. Shang Zhangjun is just making some small moves at best, and it can't be shown on the stage. Once the army arrives, the situation will not be reversed by relying on personal martial arts alone."

"I said, try not to do anything to Wulingzhuang." Gu Lianshan reminded.

Zhang Laoyan said: "I will send a message to ask the soldiers and horses to avoid Wulingzhuang. But when the war breaks out and the Jianghuai River is turbulent, whether Wulingzhuang can be preserved depends on their own abilities."

Gu Lianshan didn't answer, just nodded, put the sword bag behind his back, and left silently.

All the way east, through the countryside, Gu Lianshan arrived at the coastal hilltop. It happened to be that a rising sun was slowly rising in the east. Looking from a distance, the glow enveloped the mountains and sea, which was spectacular.

On a high cliff facing the sea, Sun Lingyin was sitting cross-legged and breathing. The glow around him was dazzling, and there were countless rays of light gathering and dispersing in a radius of several feet, forming a unique style of its own, which was mysterious and extraordinary.

Gu Lianshan did not come forward to disturb him, but was secretly surprised.Practicing in an open mountain place like Sun Lingyin caused a disturbance in the surrounding area, and could easily attract evil spirits.

Compared with ordinary people, people who practice cultivation have abundant vitality. Even if they have not yet become enlightened, their physical bodies have been tempered and are still the best blood food coveted by demons.

Therefore, practitioners pay attention to choosing a place to live and building caves to avoid the invasion of demons and gods.

Ordinarily, the elder of Xianshan should have taught him a long time ago, and Sun Lingyin would not be so unscrupulous about eating Xia to refine his Qi.But then I thought again, this Fairy Lingyin is equipped with a magic weapon, and can easily enter and leave the Yangzhou Dudu Mansion and steal a large number of weapons.Even if there is an evil attack, I think he will be able to deal with it easily with the help of magical weapons.

Looking at the bright glow surrounding Sun Lingyin, Gu Lianshan could feel the condensed and pure vitality, faintly breathing and singing in harmony with the heaven and earth.

What the Immortal Family's magical method pursues is directly pointing to the path of eternal life and long-term vision, not a competition for victory.Gu Lianshan has been in the East China Sea for many years. Although he has received guidance from the immortal family and made extraordinary breakthroughs in martial arts, he still cannot be called an immortal.

"On the journey of cultivating immortality, even if you don't have immortal bones, you still have a chance. If you have a worldly heart, it will be in vain and a waste of time." Sun Lingyin suddenly spoke, obviously having noticed Gu Lianshan in the distance.

"I'm sorry to disturb Fairy Lingyin's cultivation." Gu Lianshan said with cupped hands.

"It doesn't matter." Sun Lingyin paused for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed his sword. The glow around him quickly gathered and formed, turning into a sword blade. He slashed into the sea ahead, directly cutting off most of a three-foot-high reef pillar, and the incision was smooth. Like a mirror.The gravel collapsed, causing huge waves.

The sword was struck by thunder, and loud thunder resounded throughout the surrounding mountains and seas. The power of this blow was so powerful that even Gu Lianshan was secretly amazed.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, what are the chances of winning against Cheng Sanwu with this attack?" Sun Lingyin didn't look back, his eyes were closed tightly and his tone was calm.

Gu Lianshan did not praise him out of flattery. After thinking for a moment, he said: "If I can seize the right opportunity and hit him in one fell swoop, I should be able to hit him hard."

"Is it just a severe injury?" Sun Lingyin's breath converged, and he raised his eyes, showing that pitiful and naturally tearful face again.

"When Cheng Sanwu killed the iron-backed dragon, I was nearby to watch the battle." Gu Lianshan said: "This man has a deep foundation, and his muscles and bones are unparalleled. Even the dragon, which has always been famous for its magical power in the water, cannot compete with the dragon. Cheng Sanwu didn't have the upper hand.

"Although Fairy Lingyin's sword light is sharp, Cheng Sanwu's aura is as thick as a wall and he resists spontaneously. Moreover, he is not ignorant and stubborn. When Fairy Lingyin's murderous intention sprouts, he must have sensed it and either evaded or retreated, causing the attack to fail. "

Sun Lingyin looked at the bronze square pot in her arms and murmured to herself: "I didn't expect that he would enter the country so quickly. If we give him a few more years, not to mention this East China Sea Dragon Bottle, even if all the treasures from the Five Islands are found, I'm afraid I can’t deal with him either.”

When Gu Lianshan heard this, he was silent.Although he never asked about the grudge between Sun Lingyin and Cheng Sanwu, he could vaguely sense that Cheng Sanwu exuded an inhuman aura that was too old to be contemporary, as if it was a disaster that has lasted from ancient times to the present day. Tribulation.

"Fairy Lingyin, please rest assured. I have gathered a good team of people to ensure that nothing goes wrong." Gu Lianshan said seriously.

"Okay." Sun Lingyin stood up slowly, looked at the rising sun, his eyes were bright, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Cheng Sanwu, Mingzhou is your burial place!"
