Fu Shifeng

Chapter 329 Rebellious Cave Heaven

"You look really embarrassed."

In the study room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Yan looked at Master Wen sitting on the soft couch without concealing his mocking tone.

"You're not much better than me." Master Wen smiled: "Compared to the last time we met, you have lost a lot of weight."

"It's also thanks to you." Lu Yan rolled his sleeves and sat down: "If you hadn't been defeated by Taotie, how could it have caused such a catastrophe?"

Master Wen casually picked up the jade lion paperweight on the desk and started to play with it: "Misfortune lies on blessings, misfortune lies on them. If Cheng Sanwu hadn't suddenly taken action, maybe that saint would have started to consider finding someone to replace you."

Lu Yan had no expression on his face. He knew better than anyone else that although the current Saint strongly supported him in implementing the New Deal, his real purpose was still to obtain sufficient taxes, firstly to support the army to expand territory, and secondly to ensure that the Saint Increasingly extravagant and extravagant enjoyment.

In fact, Lu Yan understood this situation, so he had the opportunity to take advantage of it. For many years, he ruled the court and made money for the saints without any plan, so he implemented the New Deal in various places, and the results have been obvious in the past two years.

But in the process, Lu Yan also made a lot of political enemies, and many people wanted to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. Once he loses power, it will definitely be the result of a pack of wolves swarming around him and eating them up. He will probably not end well.

This is why Lu Yan agreed to Yingjun teaching Changqing swordsmanship and arranged for him to go to the south of the Yangtze River to marry a local wealthy family.

Today's sage seems to rely heavily on Lu Yan, but he will not let Lu Yan expand his authority infinitely through the implementation of the New Deal. Especially if the New Deal is effective and can be implemented smoothly, it is time for the cunning rabbit to die and the lackey to be cooked.

"No matter how you put it, gluttony is still the primary scourge nowadays and cannot be regarded as a blessing." After Lu Yan said this, he noticed that Master Wen had been staring at him closely, and he couldn't help but frown and asked: "What are you looking at me for? "

Master Wen said with a smile: "I was originally worried that after you have been wallowing in the court for many years, your inner mind will become filthy. You only want to protect your own power and interests, and you will completely lose your sense of right and wrong."

"The disaster of gluttony is related to the life and death of all living beings. I can still distinguish the pros and cons." Lu Yan said.

"It's a pity that some people are so desperate that they still think of seeking personal gain at this juncture." Master Wen sighed.

Lu Yan snorted coldly: "Not everyone knows about the disaster of gluttony. Who told you, Fu Shifeng, to hide from the outside world for thousands of years? What's more, when disaster is imminent, it is inevitable that someone will take advantage of it. Only by strictly enforcing the law can such a situation be stopped. ."

"If you don't have enlightenment and just rely on the testimonies, you may not be able to last long." Master Wen said: "There have always been many lessons learned throughout the ages."

"You're so free, why do you insist on talking about this?" Lu Yan looked displeased.

"Anyway, every time we talk about this, we always end up unhappy." Master Wen turned to ask, "I heard that Changqing has arrived?"

Lu Yan opened the window and could see the black barrier as high as a mountain peak: "Yes, we are currently discussing with various magicians how to break through the barrier."

"What are you going to do if you can't break through?" Master Wen asked.

Lu Yan said: "It's not what I want to do, but the world is in chaos!"

Master Wen was not in a hurry: "What I'm asking about is the chaos in the world. No matter what, even if there is a change of dynasty, someone must step forward and lead all parties to calm down the chaos."

"You have already chosen Changqing, what else do you want me to say?" Lu Yan said bluntly.

"No, I just want to ask you about this matter." Master Wen became serious: "Not all the royal family members are trapped in Taiji Palace. There are three little guys in Yinlong Division. They are likely to recognize Changqing's identity. If so, The barrier of Taiji Palace cannot be broken, and the situation changes drastically again, and at that time you will have to make a choice."

Lu Yan closed his eyes tiredly and pinched his eyebrows: "If Luo Gongyuan hadn't been so talkative, I wouldn't have wanted to call Chang Qing here at all. I even sent Lord Ying to protect him secretly."

"Even if you don't send someone to send a message, when Changqing knows the situation, he may come to Chang'an in person. Will you be able to stop him by then?" Master Wen laughed and said, "Did you know that Changqing got married in Huzhou?" Room, whose arrangement was it?"

Lu Yan opened one eye: "Not you?"

"It's Cheng Sanwu, and there's no trace of his scheming. He's very clever." Master Wen said, "I guess Cheng Sanwu has sensed Chang Qing's true identity a long time ago, and he actually doesn't want Chang Qing to be involved."

"But you have to use Chang Qing to compete with Cheng Sanwu from a distance." Lu Yan seemed to be angry: "No wonder Li Zhaozhen left a legacy to deal with Fu Shifeng, I think Chang Qing will hate you sooner or later! "

"Hate? Then you underestimate Zhaozhen and Changqing." Master Wen smiled: "They are not resentful because they are being used, but they feel that Fu Shifeng himself is gradually becoming a hidden danger. They believe in me, but You may not believe Fu Shifeng and others. If someone uses Fu Shifeng to plot harm, it will be a serious problem!"

"What about you?" Lu Yan stared at Master Wen with a questioning look in his eyes.

"There will always be people with conspiracy and ambition everywhere." Master Wen put down the jade lion paperweight and gently twirled his beard: "As for Fu Shifeng, I just hope to complete the unfulfilled ambitions of the predecessors and end the disasters that have continued since ancient times. , from now on, it will be a world of humanity.”

"But you can't do it now. The Six Paths of Taiyi Order have been taken away by Taotie." Lu Yan said.

"Now it is the seventh path." Master Wen said: "Before we came to Chang'an, we passed by the Xianyuan Cave in Lishan Mountain and found that the Liyu Mansion had been destroyed."

"What about Jiang Yan?" Lu Yan asked.

Master Wen smiled and said, "The two brothers were thrown into a rural house to starve and freeze. Mu Xiaojun gave them some clothes and money."

"Is this what Taotie did?" Lu Yan looked a little complicated.

"I actually feel that Taotie did not take over the body at all. It was Cheng Sanwu's doing from the beginning to the end." Master Wen said.

Lu Yan immediately closed the window: "Do you think that everything now, including the Taiji Palace barrier, is all planned by Cheng Sanwu?"

"I had this vague feeling during the battle at Hengshan." Master Wen looked down at his hands: "At that time, Cheng Sanwu wanted to kill me, and it was easy for him, but he didn't do it. Instead, he openly clamored to start the prehistoric world again. This move It’s more like announcing to the outside world.”

Lu Yan thought for a moment: "Is he trying to lure someone out?"

"Maybe." Master Wen sighed, "But now I can no longer see through Cheng Sanwu."

... "Changqing, what do you think?"

After Master Daguan came to Chang'an, he immediately came outside Taiji Palace. He cast spells several times to no avail, just like everyone else. In order to break through the shady barrier, experts from all parties gathered together to discuss and discuss.

Changqing looked around. Now, in addition to Taoist scholars such as Li Hanguang and Luo Gongyuan, there were also Buddhist monks such as Xingshan Temple. Ren Fengxing and several masters from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were also listening.

Faced with everyone's gaze, Chang Qing did not show any fright and said: "In my opinion, this black curtain cannot be regarded as an ordinary barrier, but is somewhat similar to the Cave Heaven Spiritual Realm."

In the distance, Ren Fengxing and the three elders of Yinlongsi nodded secretly when they heard this, while Li Hanguang was slightly confused: "Dongtian spiritual realm? I followed my master to travel around the world and saw many caves, but nothing like this. resemblance."

"May I ask about the mystery of the cave?" Changqing did not think about what he said, but introduced the words to the other party. Li Hanguang was a disciple of Baiyunzi and also assisted in the compilation of "Tian Tu of the Palaces of Heaven and Earth". In this regard, his words were naturally of great importance.

Li Hanguang nodded and said: "As the name suggests, the cave sky is the small sky in the cave, opposite to the big sky. The famous rivers and mountains in the world condense the clouds and energy, and turn into a spiritual realm in the void. If there is something in it that can go in and out, then It's a cave.

"Some caves with complete mystical principles even have the sun and the moon, which are like the sun and the moon in the outside world. They move along the track and dominate the change of day and night. As for the golden tower, the jade hall, the fairy grass, the spiritual flower, and even the spiritual birds and auspicious animals, and the spiritual maids. Wait, it depends on the specific weather scale of the cave."

Changqing asked: "How do outsiders enter the cave?"

Li Hanguang replied: "The spiritual realm of the cave is connected to the Qi of the mountains and rivers, and there may be a natural portal, but its opening and closing rules must also be due to changes in the number of Qi. Normally, mortals cannot enter through the door. If you practice successfully, you may be able to sense the location of the cave and use it with sincerity. If you follow the rituals and practices of your heart, you can open the door and go straight inside.”

"So, if you can't sense the cave, even if you drill through the mountains with great magic power, you won't be able to enter the cave?" Changqing asked again.

"That's right." Li Hanguang was very familiar with the principles of cave heaven, but he still didn't understand why Changqing mentioned this.

Luo Gongyuan said: "Could it be that this barrier cannot be forcibly broken by external force, but that the location of its door must be sensed?"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Changqing shook his head: "If the cave sky is compared to a pocket, then this situation is more like turning the pocket over."

When everyone present heard this, almost everyone looked confused. Only Li Hanguang was silent in thought.

"Fellow Daoist Li, if you are in the cave and keep walking out, will you hit the boundary?" Changqing asked.

"This... I have indeed tried it." Li Hanguang showed a look of surprise: "The Cave Heaven Spiritual Realm has boundless boundaries. If you walk outward from the edge, you can keep walking, and the distance seems to extend infinitely. But as long as you take a step back, you will immediately... Back to where the edge started.”

After hearing these words, the monks of Xingshan Temple put their hands together and praised: "If you want to cross the endless sea of ​​suffering to the other side, you can only practice deep prajna."

The Taoist priests present glanced at the monk, and most of them felt that he had no achievements, but he preferred to show off his words, and intentionally or unintentionally belittled the Taoism.

Li Hanguang said: "The so-called 'land where ordinary saints live together' and 'land where conveniences exist' in Buddhism are actually not very different from the Taoist Cave Heaven Spiritual Realm. I heard that there are several small Sumeru holy realms in Tubo, where only the native spirits He even had a conflict with an eminent Tibetan monk, haven’t you heard about it?”

The monks on the opposite side clasped their hands and said "good" several times, and then they just fooled him casually.

Ren Fengxing came to the black screen barrier, raised his hand to touch it, and was shot out by the extremely fine astral wind, but it had no effect at all, not even the slightest aftermath.

But Ren Fengxing vaguely noticed that the Gangfeng did not disappear out of thin air, but kept shooting out, but it was castrated too quickly, as if it flew hundreds of miles in an instant, until its power dissipated, almost making people think that it was swallowed up and dissolved by the barrier.

"I probably understand." Ren Fengxing said, "But wouldn't it be almost impossible to break the barrier from the outside?"

"Not necessarily." Changqing thought: "Since this black screen barrier turns the cave sky upside down, we might as well think about it the other way around - if we are trapped in a cave sky, how can we escape?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone suddenly realized it and began to make their own assumptions.

Unsurprisingly, Li Hanguang, who is proficient in the principles of cave heaven, thought of it first, but just as he was about to speak, he deliberately gave up the credit to the other party, so he asked: "Has Taoist Fellow Changqing already thought of a way to break the barrier?"

Changqing nodded slightly: "If I were trapped in the cave, the best way would be to understand the rules of the cave and then find the door to enter and exit. But we are in the outside world now. This is equivalent to studying the principles of heaven and earth, and there are also Even the lower realm of Immortal Realm would be hard-pressed to achieve the power of mediating creation."

When he said this, Chang Qing was also secretly shocked by Cheng Sanwu's current state, because the method he used to set up the barrier was equivalent to opening a cave out of thin air, and he also turned it over to isolate the Tai Chi Palace with extremely advanced and ingenious means. inside and outside. If we follow common sense, even if all the masters from all over the world come together and attack together, they will never be able to break through this rebellious cave.

Ren Fengxing hurriedly asked: "Mr. Changqing, if you have any ideas or need something, it doesn't matter. As long as the Ministry of Internal Affairs can get it, we will go to the ends of the earth, swords and mountains and seas of fire."

Chang Qing nodded and said: "Since ordinary means cannot open it, then destroy this 'cave heaven'."

Master Daguan frowned slightly: "According to your statement, we are currently in the cave world. Is it possible that we want to destroy this world?"

"The spiritual realm of the cave is formed by condensing clouds and gas. If the weather laws inside can be confused and disordered, the cave itself will also be shaken and collapsed." Chang Qing explained: "If it can surround the entire black barrier, it will cause a phenomenon similar to the destruction of the cave. , the barrier itself may not be sustainable."

Hearing this, all the experts present held their breath and were shocked. After a while, Luo Gongyuan was the first to speak, shaking his head and sighing: "Little friend Changqing, when this matter is over, I will make a petition to the saint and set up a higher position above the Three-hole Master. This position must be you. Genus."

"Master Luo Immortal is so complimentary." Changqing bowed his hands and saluted.

"Don't mention the word "immortal master" again. I really can't be worthy of being a Taoist." Luo Gongyuan waved his hand, then looked at Master Daguan, and said in a subtle tone: "You are really to be feared."

Li Hanguang silently calculated with his fingers for a moment, and then said: "This method of fellow Taoist Changqing is indeed feasible, but it requires a large-scale ritual ceremony."

Ren Fengxing took the initiative and said, "If you have any questions, Mr. Changqing can speak directly to me."

"Okay, I'll go sort it out right away. I'll write down the application later and hand it over to Chief Ren." Changqing looked at the black screen barrier, full of enthusiasm, but also a little doubtful.

There was something he hadn't mentioned just now. There was a difference in energy inside and outside the cave, and the passage of time was probably also different. If time passes faster in the black screen barrier, even if everyone breaks the barrier, the result may not be very good.
