Fu Shifeng

Chapter 235 The enchanting atmosphere is hard to extend
The night was like water, and while Cheng Sanwu was hugging each other on the boat, enjoying dancing and listening to music, Hu Meier in his arms suddenly whispered into his ear: "They are here, they are at the bottom of the boat."

Cheng Sanwu raised his eyebrows and nodded with a smile. Hu Meier flicked her hand, and purple smoke rippled from the small cauldron on the table. In the blink of an eye, all over the Manhua Boat, all the beautiful prostitutes and maidservants fell asleep.

After placing these people properly, Hu Meier went to the window and dropped a pearl. The river water around the boat suddenly rose up with large amounts of foam. With a few whooshing sounds, three figures came out of the water and jumped onto the boat.

The people who came were all in human form. Judging from the light of the lantern, they were two men and one woman.

One of the men is burly but ugly, and his clothes look like warrior attire, but they are covered with silver scales, almost like armor; the other has two long beards on his lips, a wide mouth, big eyes, a ring scar on the top of his head, and is dressed in an ephedra monk's robe.

As for the woman, she was wearing a close-fitting dress, dark and shiny, outlining her slender curves, with faintly visible snake patterns. Even standing on the deck, she looked like a gorgeous snake girl.

"Let me introduce you to Cheng Langjun." Hu Meier invited the three of them into the cabin and said, "This is Taoist Qiu Wuying from Ninghai General Temple. He once fought against Sun Longwang's group of pirates."

The strong man in silver armor didn't say much, he just clasped his fists. Hu Meier then gestured to the broad-mouthed monk: "This is the monk from the Asoka Temple in Baozhuang Mountain, Mingzhou. Gu Lianshan broke into his cave before and robbed him." A large amount of treasure was taken away.”

Master Liao Yuan clasped his hands and bowed: "It makes fellow Taoist Hu laugh. Lao Nakong has been practicing for 200 years, but he can't even defend his own cave."

Hu Meier smiled slightly and then motioned to the woman in the water: "This is Madam Yu from Wengzhou Shuiyuan Cave. She is most familiar with the situation on Wengzhou Island."

Madam Yu just nodded expressionlessly, more dull than cold.

"My name is Cheng Sanwu, and I'm here to deal with Gu Lianshan this time." Cheng Sanwu bowed his hands in greeting without much courtesy.

He could see that although these monsters took the form of humans, they still more or less retained the characteristics of their original bodies, and they were not as good at interpersonal communication as Hu Meier, only the one who was better at talking.

"Mr. Cheng Lang is famous for his incredible skills and his ability to slay dragons with his bare hands. I have admired him for a long time. I am lucky to see you today." Mr. Liao Yuan opened his mouth with a lot of praise that made people feel sick. He must have relied on this mouth on weekdays. He deceived many believers into offering their belongings as offerings to the Three Treasures.

"Hahahaha, that's ridiculous." Cheng Sanwu waved his hand casually: "That iron-backed dragon has not yet transformed into a human form, how can it be compared with you?"

Having said that, Cheng Sanwu can also sense that the three aquatic monsters in front of him are not as strong as the iron-backed dragon in terms of vitality, physical strength, and magical power. Perhaps it is not completely necessary for the monsters to transform into humans. The body also represents a pursuit.

"Without gossiping, let's talk about Wengzhou Island." Hu Mei'er asked the three demons to sit down, and first looked at Madam Yu: "I heard that the wind and waves around Wengzhou Island have not stopped recently. What is going on?"

Mrs. Yu replied: "A few days ago, there was a huge cloud, carrying the wind and rain, drifting from the sea. It is said that this kind of thing is normal. But Sun Longwang invited an expert to build an altar on Wengzhou Island and forced him to let it go. The clouds stayed there, causing violent storms and rain that lasted for many days outside the island, and the waves on the sea surface were so rough that outside ships could not approach."

"I see." Hu Mei'er nodded slightly: "But even if you don't call for wind and rain, it will take more than just magic power to keep a large amount of wind and rain on Wengzhou Island. Such an expert cannot be unknown. Do you know who did it?"

Master Liaoyuan obviously knows the local figure well: "I just inquired about it, it should be Zhenren Taiyuan from Ziyun Cave in Chicheng Mountain."

"Is it him?" Hu Meier's expression changed upon hearing this: "Now we are in trouble."

"Is this guy very powerful?" Cheng Sanwu asked.

Hu Meier explained: "Tiantai and Chicheng are adjacent to each other, and many Buddhists and Taoists have stayed here to practice cultivation. Since Bai Yunzi, the great master of the Qing Dynasty, lived in seclusion in the Yuxiao Palace on Tiantai Mountain, this area has attracted many celebrities, regardless of whether Whether it is to become a disciple of Taoism, to study the mysteries, or to cast scrolls for singing, it has become a holy place for Taoism in this dynasty."

"I've heard of Bai Yunzi's name. It seems that even the emperor is very fond of him." Cheng Sanwu asked: "What about Master Taiyuan? What is his origin?"

Master Liaoyuan replied: "He is the contemporary descendant of Ziyun Cave. He has a deep friendship with Bai Yunzi, and disciples from both sides have frequent contacts. Ziyun Cave has a mountain-preserving magic weapon that has been passed down for hundreds of years, called Fengyun Seal. With it, He is especially good at commanding the wind and clouds when he ascends to the altar.

"It is said that the magic talisman written by Taiyuan Zhenren can ensure good weather for a place. It is not only respected by the big families in the south of the Yangtze River, but also attracts many businessmen traveling on the sea to bring huge sums of money to ask for the talisman."

Cheng Sanwu frowned and said: "This Master Taiyuan doesn't look like a treacherous person, so why is he hanging out with the pirates? And helping them to control the wind and rain?"

Mrs. Yu said: "I heard that King Sun Long once sent people to send treasures worth tens of thousands of guan to Ziyun Cave as offerings to pray for peace on the sea."

"Tens of thousands? That's it?" Cheng Sanwu snorted coldly, with disdain on his face.

Hu Meier reminded: "The person who invited Master Taiyuan may not be King Sun Long, but it may be Gu Lianshan or Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"That's colluding with the party." Cheng Sanwu was not polite at all and directly charged him with it.

Hu Meier was not so relaxed and calm: "Taiyuan Zhenren has profound Taoism and has been famous in Jiangnan for a long time. Although he is not as good as Grandmaster Baiyunzi, he is not easy to deal with."

Cheng Sanwu said: "I have also seen Taoist priests who are on the altar and call the wind and rain, and they are the disciples of Grandmaster Baiyunzi. Just because the Taoist skills are advanced does not mean that they are good at fighting. If you use a sword, you will still be injured and bleed!"

In fact, among the magicians Cheng Sanwu has seen, the one who is best at fighting and fighting, apart from An Quti, is Chang Qing. Especially after learning swordsmanship, he integrated Taoism and swordsmanship, and his strength was greatly improved.

When Chang Qing faced the crazy Chu Wanjun, he was able to protect himself and waited until Cheng Sanwu came to rescue him. This is enough to show that he is far from the weak and bullyable person he used to be.

If he really wants to use all his strength to cast spells, the true form of the divine general that Chang Qing sacrifices can even severely damage powerful enemies such as Urohu Na. Looking at the world, he is already a rare spell master, but his reputation has not spread yet.

Hu Meier sighed softly: "Cheng Langjun, you have the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the imperial court as your backers, so of course you can do whatever you want. But if we mountain monsters offend Buddhist and Taoist masters, we will not be retaliated against later."

Cheng Sanwu was so angry that he laughed: "Master Taiyuan colluded with the party. Based on this alone, not only will he die, but all his disciples will be implicated. Who else dares to take revenge on you?"

"I'm not talking about disciples." Hu Meier looked at Yuan Shangren and motioned for him to explain.

"Cheng Langjun, you have a broad mind and no partiality, but the practitioners in this world may not see it that way." Master Liao Yuan sighed with emotion: "No matter whether it is Taoism, Buddhism, or even the imperial government, no one has any regard for monsters like us. He has a good impression, and even uses large-scale executions and crusade as a means of accumulating merit.

"Why do we turn into human forms and lurk in the crowds of the city? We just don't want to be regarded as aliens. Otherwise, like the iron-backed dragon, relying on its own strength, occupying a place, not knowing how to restrain itself, doing harm at will, and eventually being killed by Cheng Langjun Kill them."

Cheng Sanwu was silent when he heard this. He really didn't consider this aspect.In his opinion, these monsters in human form should live a very comfortable life in the human world, but he did not expect that they would be wary and cautious.Hu Meier looked at Qiu Wuying, who was sitting still and looking like a statue: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, when you were fed with incense and blood in the Jiangjun Temple, didn't you also have to be restrained by the Taoist's spells at one time?"

Qiu Wuying's voice was hoarse: "In order to break free from the constraints, I endured the humiliation for many years, and finally took advantage of the thief Taoist's old age and frailty to kill all of his family members. As a result, I provoked the thief Taoist's brothers. I hid for many years and waited until the limelight passed. Only then do you dare to return to the General Temple."

"Do you understand?" Hu Meier said to Cheng Sanwu: "If we really want to kill Master Taiyuan, we will provoke a large group of Taoist masters. Even if his Ziyundong lineage is killed by the court, others will still do it. Seek revenge from us."

Cheng Sanwu pondered for a moment. During his time in the Western Region, he always felt that monsters were rampant and eating people and killing people was very common.Now it seems that there are still barbaric realms in the Western Regions, which are not as prosperous as the Central Plains. The land south of the Yangtze River can no longer tolerate the activities of monsters and aliens. They must cultivate their human form in order to protect themselves.

Rather, these monsters have become more and more human-like. Even if they are not in a cage, they have been tamed by humanity.

"In that case, why don't we find a safe way out for you?" Cheng Sanwu changed his mind and said: "Anyway, the reason why I went back to Wengzhou Island is to eradicate the culprits who rebelled against the party. Since you are helping, you are doing it for the sake of the imperial court and the internal affairs. It’s not impossible to contribute and find a career for you.”

The three demons looked at each other, and Master Liaoyuan was half-convinced: "Is Cheng Langjun serious about what he said?"

Cheng Sanwu looked at Hu Meier: "I remember Afu said that if you want to win over the demons in the south of the Yangtze River, isn't this an opportunity?"

Hu Meier rolled her beautiful eyes and smiled sweetly: "Cheng Langjun is really amazing. Originally, I wanted to help Sister Fu, but you just said it."

"Okay, don't flatter me." Cheng Sanwu said to the three demons: "I will write a letter and you will send your men to take it to the Langfeng Hall of Wuling Village in Huzhou and hand it over to Shang Zhangjun. She will arrange the rest."

Qiu Wuying and Madam Yu didn't react much, but the lover quickly stood up and thanked him, obviously eager to find a solid backer.

"What about Taiyuan Zhenren..."

Cheng Sanwu was about to speak, but Madam Yu suddenly looked towards the river: "Someone is coming, holding a small boat."

Hu Meier came to the window, took a look, and sneered: "It was Mr. Zhang who came to follow us. He is obviously suspicious of us."

Master Liao Yuan volunteered and said, "Cheng Langjun, do you want me to take action to remove him?"

"No need." Cheng Sanwu said to Hu Meier, "Make some noise."

The fox demon's fingers were filled with purple fire. He turned his palms and clasped his fingers, making bursts of silk and bamboo sounds, as if the boat was still singing and dancing endlessly.

Cheng Sanwu staggered to the deck, pretending to relieve himself, and happened to bump into Mr. Zhang's subordinate who was holding a boat.

"Who is it?" Cheng Sanwu asked in a rough voice.

The subordinate quickly said: "The villain is sent by Mr. Zhang!"

"Damn it, do you have to keep an eye on me when I visit prostitutes?" Cheng Sanwu cursed angrily.

"Jun Rong of Zhaoyang, there have been bandits and bandits in rivers, lakes and seas recently. To ensure peace, why not let the boat dock?"

Cheng Sanwu muttered a few words as if sulking, then waved: "Come here."

The subordinate held the boat close to the boat. As soon as he boarded the deck, Cheng Sanwu grabbed his shirt and lifted him up.

"You guys are so brave, how dare you teach me how to do things? You don't take care of yourself. You can't even deal with a few rebels. You have to rely on me to come all the way to Jiangnan to help. But you don't show any courtesy at all. I didn’t even offer it, and now I’m still trying to point fingers, you should be damned!”

After scolding him, Cheng Sanwu raised his big hand, opened his bow left and right, and slapped him in a circular motion.The subordinate had no time to beg for mercy, and in the blink of an eye, he was slapped dozens of times.

Of course, it was impossible for Cheng Sanwu to use all his strength, otherwise this subordinate with simple martial arts would have his head smashed with one palm.However, he used a clever force when slapping him. Apart from breaking his teeth and causing bleeding, he did not injure any other muscles and bones. However, the burning pain made the subordinate feel like he was being tortured.

Anyway, Mr. Zhang is most likely the leader of the rebel party. The two sides are destined to meet at war. There is no need for Cheng Sanwu to be polite to his subordinates. He is extremely arrogant and domineering, just to trample on the dignity of the other party.

After slapping him hard and expressing his anger, Cheng Sanwu threw the subordinate back into the boat, slapped him in the air, stirred up waves on the river, and pushed the boat towards the shore.

"Hmph, let you follow me!"

Cheng Sanwu clapped his hands and returned to the cabin. Hu Meier covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Cheng Langjun is so ruthless. I didn't provoke you, but I got a beating in vain."

"Even if you don't talk about the identity of the Minister of Internal Affairs, he quietly stalked others while they were having fun in a brothel. Based on this alone, he deserves to be beaten!" Cheng Sanwu felt that his temper was good. Back then, at Baochang Society in the Western Regions, He has seen many guys get into fights and even kill people in public over trivial matters.

"What did you say just now?" Cheng Sanwu drank a glass of wine: "Oh, Master Taiyuan. How do you plan to deal with him?"

Mrs. Yu said: "His mandala is located on the seaside, and there are light and dark waterways nearby. We can use the water to get closer."

"The premise is that there cannot be too many guards nearby." Qiu Wuying said: "Sun Longwang has many people under his command. Wengzhou Island is their home base, and it is easy to hide thousands of people."

"Don't worry, I'm not going here to break in, but to pretend to join the gang, so as to get close to King Sun Long and Gu Lianshan who is hiding among them." Cheng Sanwu said: "The person they really want to deal with is me, and they will definitely transfer all the masters. Come."

"Gu Lianshan is a powerful person. Mr. Cheng Lang must be careful," said Mr. Liao Yuan.

Cheng Sanwu didn't have any fear or nervousness at all. Instead, he was in high spirits, with a burning desire to fight in his chest. He wanted to go to Wengzhou Island immediately and have a showdown.

Hu Meier said: "Then we should make detailed arrangements now. Madam Yu, can you draw a land and water map of Wengzhou Island? So that we can know how to get in and out..."
