Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

When the pilgrims saw Fakong appear, they all clasped their hands and saluted, calling him "Fakong the Divine Monk" with excitement.

Fakong clasped his hands and smiled.

Chengxu watched with a smile.

After entering the gate and coming to Chengxu's abbot's courtyard, the two sat in a small pavilion, and the young monk served tea.

Fakong glanced at the ordinary-looking young monk, who was already a master at such a young age.

He was obviously another genius of the Great Leiyin Temple.

Chengxu smiled and said, "It's true that his reputation is well-deserved, and the title of the Divine Monk resounds throughout the capital."

"Uncle Master, please forgive me for laughing." Fakong smiled as he held the cup.

Chengxu slowly stopped smiling and put down his teacup: "Fakong, what do you think of the strength of Tianhai Sword Sect?"

"Master should know, right?"

"I only know a rough idea. I know that they have expanded overseas in recent years, their strength has skyrocketed, and their wealth is amazing."

Fakong said: "Their strength is indeed amazing. As far as I know, they have hidden most of their masters on various islands, and have actually secretly controlled the islands."

"Is it that strong?" Chengxu's face darkened.

Fakong said: "Master, do you think that given the temperament of the Tianhai Sword Sect, they will tolerate the islands on the sea threatening the safety of their disciples?"

"...But the islands on the sea are not weak either." Chengxu said: "And there are so many islands, how can they take care of them all?"

"Conquer one island after another, and as many islands as possible." Fakong said: "They should be using this method, but they are doing it secretly, and they are standing behind the scenes, not in the front."

"Control the islands secretly."

"That's right."

"If they really do this, the strength of the Tianhai Sword Sect is really terrifying."

"It is strong, but it has limitations," Fakong said: "After all, their influence is only in the south, and it is still not enough in the north."

Chengxu said coldly: "Now their ambition can no longer be hidden, they want to be the number one sect in the world."

He narrowed his tiger eyes slightly, and cold lightning burst out.

In fact, the three major sects each have their own territory, and their strengths are similar, and there is no conclusion as to who is the number one sect in the world.

Some say it is the Great Snow Mountain Sect, and some say it is the Holy Church of Light, but no one has ever said it is the Tianhai Sword Sect.

At the beginning, Tianhai Sword Sect was not so strong, and it seemed that it was not as strong as the Great Snow Mountain Sect and the Holy Church of Light.

There was no need for the three major sects to compete with each other.

But they did not compete, but Tianhai Sword Sect wanted to compete, and taking action against Fakong was sending a signal.

Fakong nodded: "They think their strength is worthy of the title of the world's number one sect."

"If they are called the world's number one sect, they will become more powerful. Once all young people want to practice martial arts, they will want to join Tianhai Sword Sect."

The Great Snow Mountain Sect does not recruit all monks, but also lay disciples, and lay disciples account for the majority.

The world is so big, and there are only a few talented geniuses. Once all the geniuses are snatched away by Tianhai Sword Sect, the Great Snow Mountain Sect will slowly decline until it becomes difficult to inherit.

This is something the Great Snow Mountain Sect cannot tolerate.

Fakong said: "So, the Great Snow Mountain Sect wants to compete with them?"

"Yes." Chengxu said in a deep voice: "Fakong, you have fought with them and know them better. Tell me what you think."

"For the time being, they will not show up again." Fakong said: "At least they will not show up again until they are sure to deal with me."

"I hope so." Chengxu snorted and said: "If they come again, our Great Snow Mountain Sect will support you to kill the Tianhai Sword Sect. Just kill them without restraint."

Fakong smiled at him.

Chengxu smiled faintly: "Do you also think that we should be merciful and give way to them?"

"When it comes to the inheritance of the sect, of course we can't give way." Fakong said: "But has Master considered the other party?"

"Hmm?"

"The Emperor."

"The Emperor!?"

"Master, if I hadn't been concerned about the Emperor, I would have killed Tan Qiuhan, and even went south directly to kill a group of masters of the Tianhai Sword Sect to see if they dared to be rampant."

At that time, he deduced in the Spirit Turtle Armor what would happen if he killed Tan Qiuhan.

The result showed that an inexplicable force would intervene and prevent him from killing.

It can't be seen in the Spirit Turtle Armor, but it can block his power. I'm afraid that he can count it on ten fingers.

He guessed that it was the emperor in nine out of ten cases.

Chengxu looked solemn.

He turned his head to the north, which was the direction of the Forbidden Palace.

"If the Great Snow Mountain Sect and the Tianhai Sword Sect fight, the whole Daqian will be in turmoil. Will the emperor agree?"

"No."

"What will the situation be like then?" Fakong said with a smile: "It's okay for a disciple of the Tianhai Sword Sect to assassinate the fifteenth princess."

It is obvious that the emperor will favor the Tianhai Sword Sect.

Why should he favor the Tianhai Sword Sect?

Because of interests.

The Tianhai Sword Sect now dominates the south of Daqian, establishes routes on the sea, controls the sea passages, and ensures the smooth conduct of maritime trade.

Once the Tianhai Sword Sect is in chaos, there will be chaos on the sea, and some pirates may take the opportunity to invade the southern border.

At that time, Daqian will have to send troops to quell the rebellion, and maritime trade will not make money, and sending troops will cost money.

Chengxu's face darkened slightly: "So, we are doomed to fail?"

"So if we have to take action, we must not do it openly, but secretly." Fakong smiled and said: "It's best if no one can catch us."

"Is this the tail that is too big to be removed?" Chengxu frowned and said: "Strange, with the emperor's wisdom, bravery, talent and strategy, can't he see this crisis?"

According to his understanding of the emperor, he has a far-reaching strategy and will never make such an unbalanced mistake.

But this time, the Tianhai Sword Sect has become the only one in power, especially controlling the maritime trade and channels.

This is completely different from the defense of the Great Snow Mountain and the Great Bright Peak.

Fakong said: "Maybe the emperor didn't expect this situation? He thought it wouldn't be so smooth, but he didn't expect the Tianhai Sword Sect to have good luck."

The martial arts of the islands on the sea are strange and difficult to deal with. According to the emperor's plan, even if the islands on the sea are conquered, the strength of the Tianhai Sword Sect will be consumed enough.

But he didn't expect that the Tianhai Sword Sect got the Micro Dust Sword Formation and a stronger martial arts inheritance, which led to them not losing much in cleaning up the islands. Instead, the number of Tianhai Sword Sect masters increased dramatically, and their strength increased greatly, giving rise to the ambition to compete for the world's number one sect.

"Now that the tail is too big to be removed, what will the emperor do?"

"You can only endure it." Fakong said: "You can't deal with Tianhai Sword Sect now, it will delay important matters."

Especially now that Daqian and Dayong have not yet been able to form a complete alliance, Dayun is still eyeing it covetously. Once Tiannan is in turmoil, Dayun will never let go of the opportunity.

So you can only endure it.

Who in this world can be satisfied?

The emperor will also be frustrated and angry, and he must endure it. Even if his most favored princess is assassinated, he cannot punish the assassin severely.

He speculated that if the Great Snow Mountain Sect or the Holy Church of Light secretly dealt with the Tianhai Sword Sect and continuously weakened the Tianhai Sword Sect, as long as they maintained a certain degree and did not let the two sects really fight, and did not make the two sects go to war completely, the emperor would turn a blind eye.

Grasp this key, you will know how to act.

Kill those who should be killed in the Tianhai Sword Sect, but do not kill too important people, so as not to really anger the Tianhai Sword Sect.

"Bang!" Chengxu slammed the stone table heavily.

Both teacups jumped up.

Fakong caught one, opened it and took a sip: "Master, don't be angry, take your time, and see who will have the last laugh."

"Fakong, next time Tianhai Sword Sect provokes you, just come to me directly." Chengxu snorted: "My hands are itching."

"Yes." Fakong smiled.

When Fakong returned to his small courtyard in the outer courtyard of the Vajra Temple, he found that Prince Yi Chu Yun was sitting at the stone table, motionless and dazed.

He was the only one in the small courtyard.

There were no guards around the outer courtyard, and Chu Yun came alone.

Normally, Chu Yun's pomp was not small.

Once he went out, there were often more than a dozen guards accompanying him for protection, either openly or secretly.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and he values ​​his life very much.

This time he came alone.

"Your Majesty." Fakong clasped his hands together and bowed.

Chu Yun stood up and clasped his hands, smiling bitterly, "Master, you should have known the news, right?"

"...The news that the prince was going to Tianjing?"

"Alas!" Chu Yun sighed and sat down dejectedly: "I never thought that my father would let me go."

"The other party sent Prince Ming." Fakong said: "We can only send an equal here. Prince Yi, think about it, if the emperor sent Prince Ying over, would you be happy?"

Chu Yun raised his eyebrows slightly.

Fakong said: "Prince Ming is the prince that Dayong has the highest hopes for and is most likely to become the next emperor."

Chu Yun smiled.

According to the principle of equality, this means that in his father's mind, he is the prince who is most likely to inherit the throne.

He then sighed again: "If it were normal times, I would be happy, but now I can't be happy at all, I'm afraid my life will be in danger."

"Dayong will do his best to protect the prince's safety, just like we have to do our best to protect the safety of Prince Ming."

"That may not be possible."

"With such protection, if you still can't protect the prince, then you can only say that this is fate." Fakong smiled and said, "Who can resist fate?"

"Master, you can change fate against the will of heaven!" Chu Yun looked at him eagerly.

Fakong sighed: "Prince, my clairvoyance is also limited, not omnipotent."

"Without you this time, Lao Jiu will definitely not survive." Chu Yun hurriedly said: "I can only put my hope on you, Master."

Fakong said: "If I can help the prince, I will do my best."

Chu Yun smiled and let out a long sigh: "Thank you, Master."

He came here just to ask for this sentence.

With the help of Fakong's clairvoyance, his chances of survival will increase greatly, at least he can know the assassination in advance and avoid it.

He stood up and clasped his hands together deeply: "Master, I will remember your kindness in my heart and will never forget it."

Fakong clasped his hands together in return: "Your Majesty, you are too kind."

Chu Yun said goodbye and left, walking away with big strides.

He walked lightly and felt relaxed.

Fakong was moved.

This psychological quality is really strong, and he adjusted so quickly.

He could imagine how panicked, angry, unwilling, and helpless Prince Yi Chu Yun was when he heard the news.

Now he is calm and even light.

It seems that although Prince Yi usually seeks stability, he is full of adventurous spirit in his bones. He is really not an ordinary person.

In terms of psychological quality, Prince Yi is better than Prince Xin.

No wonder the emperor values ​​him so much and regards him as the heir to the throne.
