Fu Shifeng

Chapter 94
It was late at night, and Lu Yan woke up from a light sleep. He was bored, got up and put on a fur cloak, did not call a servant to accompany him, went out alone with an oil lamp, and walked towards the study.

Walking through the corridor, Jun Ying, who looked like a girl, suddenly appeared beside him, reached out and grabbed the oil lamp, and asked calmly, "Can't sleep?"

"It's hard work, I'm used to it." Lu Yan laughed at himself, and simply sat on the bench by the corridor, stretched out his hand outside the eaves, and caught a little bit of snow: "This winter's snow is heavy enough, next year's wheat harvest should not be bad. "

"You are still the same as before." Jun Ying looked at Lu Yan with a puzzled expression: "You obviously intend to take care of Changqing, why do you have to make such deliberate twists and turns?"

Lu Yan leaned against the fence and said helplessly: "Da Guanzi is too lenient to him. If I just let him go, it will not benefit Changqing. And I plan to transfer Changqing to another place next year, at least not to stay in Chang'an forever. "

"Are you worried that other people will find out about Changqing's origin?" Ying Jun asked.

Lu Yan nodded: "Changqing's practice is not a quiet and inactive way, so let him roll around in the world for a while."

Yingjun reminded: "You want him to participate in the new policy you are promoting? This is dangerous and unpredictable. Now that you have recognized him, it is difficult for others to attack you, but they may target Changqing."

"You are taking too much care of him." Lu Yan brushed off the snow on his shoulders: "If Changqing wants to make a difference, he is doomed to be safe everywhere and everything goes smoothly."

"But in case your new policy fails, Changqing will also be implicated." Ying Jun's tone was flat, and the wick of the oil lamp in his hand popped slightly, as if to show that his mood was fluctuating.

"Doing this kind of thing is costing your wealth and life." Lu Yan's face darkened: "If it really affects Changqing, you can take him away."

Just as Ying Jun nodded, he suddenly looked towards the study room, the breath around him changed suddenly, and the invisible sword energy surrounded the two of them, the sword energy that could overturn the entire courtyard was circling rapidly, rolling the snow on both sides of the corridor like a storm.But it was silent, not waking up other people in the mansion.

"Is someone here?" Lu Yan got up immediately, and saw the back door of the study opened, and a poor scholar in commoner clothes walked out, twirling the tip of his beard with his hands, showing a slightly surprised expression.

"It seems that the timing of my appearance is wrong?" Poor Confucianism asked.

Lu Yan did not show any surprise, but seemed to be expected, and said to Ying Jun: "Don't worry, he is not an enemy, he is here to find me."

But Jun Ying didn't hold back his sword energy, and asked coldly, "Fu Shifeng?"

"Yes." Lu Yan responded, and then looked at Poor Confucian Master Wen: "What are you doing here?"

"Just treat it as an old friend reminiscing about the past, can't you?" Master Wen took out a clay pot from behind as if juggling, and shook it: "I brought a pot of floating white incense, which is just suitable for warming up in the twelfth lunar month."

Lu Yan was unsmiling, took two steps forward, and waved to Ying Jun at the same time: "Let me talk to him alone."

Ying Jun was a little reluctant to withdraw the sword energy around him, and the flying snow slowly fell to the ground.

Lu Yan followed Mr. Wen into the study room, closed the door, lit the left and right lanterns, and put on the crystal cover, and saw Poor Ru sitting down on his own, took out two thick glazed wine bowls, and poured out a slightly cloudy wine. drinks.

"You came to Chang'an to monitor Cheng Sanwu?" Lu Yan cut to the chase.

"It's not just me, Hong Ya and Jiang Yan are here too." Master Wen shook the wine bowl lightly.

"Jiang Yan never shows his true face to others. It must be Yan puppet who came here." Lu Yan frowned slightly: "But I didn't expect that Hong Ya returned to the Central Plains? When did it happen?"

"Only two or three years ago, you also understand his temperament of seeing the head but not the tail." Master Wen took a sip of the floating white fragrance.

"You won't let Hong Ya and Cheng Sanwu meet, will you?" Lu Yan reminded: "He hates you, Hong Ya and Shengdi Tanhua the most. Once they meet, I'm afraid he will go crazy immediately. I won't be able to clean up the mess for you then."

"Hong Ya made a new thing, which can sense the changes in Cheng Sanwu's body from a distance, so naturally he won't meet him face to face." Master Wen said with a smile, "Guess where Cheng Sanwu is now?"

Lu Yan gave the location with great accuracy: "Tianxiang Pavilion."

"You're not guessing, you must have sent someone to keep an eye on it." Master Wen seemed to snort, and then said: "That dominatrix from the Ministry of Internal Affairs intends to win over Cheng Sanwu. He is probably alive right now."

"Isn't this just in line with your idea?" Lu Yan sat down for a while, feeling a little cold, and was about to find more clothes, when Master Wen raised his finger to meet Lu Yan, and the true energy entered Lu Yan's body through the air, making him warm all over.

"I'm ashamed, I really didn't think of it at first, and Tan Hua also contributed a lot. In terms of subduing, Buddhism is good at it." Master Wen admitted frankly: "If it is an ordinary demon that harms the world, if you kill it, you will kill it. But this glutton is immortal. Back then, Zulong commanded the twelve golden men to drive Taotie to the Yin Mountain. They fought endlessly, killed it dozens of times, and even dismembered it several times, but it still kept resurrecting.

"Ancestor Dragon has no choice but to seal it, overhaul the walls, mobilize the land of Kyushu to form a barrier, and try to suppress Taotie. However, even though Taotie is sealed, it can still disturb people's hearts. Mobei Rongdi was bewitched by him and worshiped Taotie as his respect. Then there was chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, dragons fought in the wild, the barriers of the Kyushu were unsustainable, and the Taotie broke out, causing great disasters."

"Fu Shifeng's predecessor took shape at that time." Lu Yan was a little impatient: "You told me about these old things when you brought me in."

"Have I said that? It seems that I am really old, and I like to recall the old things." Master Wen drank to hide his embarrassment.

Lu Yan looked at Master Wen, even if he talked and drank, it didn't hinder him in the slightest. This level of martial arts cultivation can be described as shocking and reaching the pinnacle.

"You already have the realm of sincerity and completeness, and you can participate with the heaven and the earth." Lu Yan said: "Although this is not Taoist longevity or Buddhist Nirvana, it can still keep your body and mind at the peak and not decline. This kind of joke will be used in the future. Just stop talking."

"There's no need for old people to talk about the past, right? You can't even make a joke?" Master Wen shook his head and said, "Back then I saw that your aptitude and understanding were excellent, and it was rare to be proficient in general affairs. I also plan to take you as a disciple. It's a pity that you are full of tricks to apply for Han, and you are harsh in politics, leaving no room for others and yourself, so it is difficult to guide you."

"There are many diseases, how can I still handle things gracefully?" Lu Yan said displeased: "After you left Hongfan Academy, didn't those apprentices and grandchildren still return to the stinking problem of paying attention to the county's birth? They left room for each other, but Become a silverfish that eats up the country!"

"Forget it, every time I talk about these things, I can't continue the conversation." Master Wen took the initiative to admit defeat.

"What exactly are you looking for me for?" Lu Yan knew Fu Shifeng's behavior style, and definitely would not visit me because of favors.

"How do you plan to arrange Cheng Sanwu?" Master Wen asked immediately.

"He is not under my control, but now he has close contacts with the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Lu Yan said.

Master Wen smiled and shook his head: "If you want to implement the New Deal, there will inevitably be conflicts at the local level. With your way of employing people to the fullest, Cheng Sanwu is also in your calculations."

"With him or without him, I will implement the New Deal." Lu Yan said mercilessly: "It is hard to find officials to implement the New Deal, and there are never fewer thugs who fight against local powerful and powerful bandits for rich rewards."

Master Wen showed his serious face: "Have you ever thought that if Cheng Sanwu is involved, it may cause great hatred. If you think about it, the imperial court will not protect it, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will try its best to avoid it."

Lu Yan said bluntly: "Cheng Sanwu's ability is enough to destroy all obstacles and pave the way for the implementation of the New Deal."

"You are playing with fire and setting yourself on fire." Master Wen stared closely at Lu Yan: "You clearly know the origin of Cheng Sanwu, but you regard him as a sharp blade to cut off obstacles. I guess, if Cheng Sanwu disobeys your wishes in the future, you Don't you want to threaten Su Wangting and Changqing?"

"If he is still gluttonous, I will definitely not be able to do this." Lu Yan said: "But you choose to turn him into a human, so that he has ordinary people's joys, sorrows, sorrows, and things that he cares about. This is not what you have in mind result?
"But you can't just want the benefits of Taotie being restrained and suppressed, but not the disadvantages of Cheng Sanwu being used and driven. If I don't use Cheng Sanwu, he will be used by others. Guess how long Feng Yuanyi, Minister of Internal Affairs, will Have thoughts similar to mine?"

Wen Fuzi was silent and his fingertips were cut off. Lu Yan didn't take it seriously, and continued, "If I'm not wrong, most of Fu Shifeng's ideas about you back then should be opposed to you. It's just that Fu Shifeng's experience After a long inheritance, there is still no way to completely eliminate Taotie, and sealing Taotie is by no means a once-and-for-all. It would be a long-term disaster, and I chose to cooperate with your proposal when there was nothing I could do."

Master Wen said with a sneer: "Indeed, apart from Tan Hua agreeing, Hong Ya, Jiang Yan, Senior Shen Ji, and Grand Duke Yin were more or less opposed. As for the others, they are noncommittal."

Lu Yan didn't answer. As far as he knew, if Fu Shifeng was not a hidden expert, it was an ancient inheritance that had gone through a long time.Like Wen Fuzi, who was regarded as a generation of Confucianism and Donghai sage in the early years of this dynasty, he was just a junior in Fu Shifeng.

Fu Shifeng and his group seem to be of the same mind in order to eliminate Taotie's long-cherished wish, but after a long time, they will become stale and lazy.

Especially for those ancient inheritances, who avoid living in the mountains and overseas, waiting to stay out of the world.Unless the Taotie causes a great disaster, it may affect their peaceful life.

Master Wen has been the most active member of Fu Shifeng for hundreds of years. Even when the dynasty was first established and he was still in charge of Hongfan Academy, he actively communicated with the court, and facilitated Confucian scholars from Shandong and Hebei to enter the dynasty. official.And in the battle in the Tule invasion, he made a big splash, which is completely different from Fu Shifeng's secretive actions in the past.

In addition, Master Wen has also widely recruited newcomers from younger generations to join Fu Shifeng, which is also extremely unpopular.It was precisely because of the Huaizhou milling incident that Lu Yan wrote a letter that he became famous. Before he was reused by the court, Master Wen came to him on his own initiative.

I heard that the master went boating on the sea in his early years, and since then he has disappeared, and everyone in the world thinks that he sank in the waves.Therefore, when he learned of the identity of his wife and Fu Shifeng's long-cherished wish, Lu Yan was ecstatic for a moment, thinking that he had stepped into an incredible realm and finally saw a hidden corner of this world.

However, after the initial enthusiasm subsided, Lu Yan no longer felt that there was anything unusual about Fu Shifeng.Those ancient inheritance and hermit experts seem to be extraordinary and refined, but in Lu Yan's eyes, they are completely lazy and pedantic people.

As far as the long-cherished wish of eradicating Taotie is concerned, except for a few people such as Wen Fuzi, the rest are basically perfunctory, thinking that it is good to change the seal every few hundred years, anyway, this has been done for a long time in the past.

Most of Fu Shifeng's members have extraordinary abilities, but they let the world change as they please. This group of people is not beneficial to the world. With Lu Yan's temperament, naturally he no longer has close contact with them.

"It seems that I can't persuade you anymore." Master Wen put down his wine bowl, stood up and said, "But I won't stop you, I just hope you understand that Cheng Sanwu's actions will implicate you one day. Also, What is insatiable is not only gluttony."

……

Leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, I heard that the Master's figure flickered for a while, but was not seen by the night watchmen, and he came directly to a deserted house in the south of Chang'an City.

Although Chang'an City is prosperous, the Baibalifang in the city is not well-organized everywhere, especially in the southern part of the city. The houses in it have not been repaired for a long time, and the people who live there are poor and sick, or hard labor hooligans who have no place to stand. If they don't check, they will linger here.

Master Wen walked into the abandoned courtyard house, and saw a bronze statue in front of Mr. Hong Ya, which was similar to an ordinary person. Its surface was covered with meridians and acupoints, and the brilliance could be seen flowing through the meridians with the naked eye.

"Before, we had to be in Pingkangfang, but now we are separated by half of Chang'an City, and we can still monitor Cheng Sanwu's aura. Daoist Hong Ya is really a god." Master Wen praised.

Hong Ya turned a deaf ear to the compliment, and said, "I probably see which inner strength Cheng Sanwu is practicing."

"Hand Yangming, Foot Yangming...Hand Taiyang, Foot Taiyang...etc. How come the three yang meridians of the hands and feet are so strong?" Master Wen was puzzled.

"He is practicing "Liuhe Yuanzhang"." Hong Ya said.

"How is it possible?" Master Wen shook his head: "I have read the original text of "Liuhe Yuanzhang", it is obviously a profound internal strength that regulates the internal and external six qi, and it is definitely not a qi machine with such an imbalance of yin and yang."

Hong Ya explained: "The dominatrix of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is doing a double cultivation with Cheng Sanwu."

"This..." Mr. Wen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "How can this be done? It seems that this hag is quite capable, and she can still think of such a method?"

"The qi of the Yaksha race is Yin, this method is indeed feasible." Hong Ya said calmly.

"Let's just watch it like this?" Master Wen asked tentatively, "Cheng Sanwu and the dominatrix are in such a situation, won't there be any problems?"

"No." Hong Ya said: "I guess the intention of the dominatrix's move is not just to flatter and win over. Cheng Sanwu's internal cultivation is successful, and his profound veins are strong. Maybe it can be more convenient to borrow the gluttonous evil power."

"Did the dominatrix fall in love with Taotie?" Master Wen said, "There is no reason, Taotie is not bound by love. Once in the world, he will not care about this dewy marriage. He will still kill the dominatrix."

"This matter has nothing to do with me." Hong Ya asked: "How is your chat with Lu Yan?"

"Don't mention it, I was looked down upon by the younger generation." Master Wen sighed: "It's really embarrassing."
