"Is this information accurate?" Cao Zhengchun asked with a serious and mean expression, holding a letter between his orchid fingers.
The Eighth Prince glanced at him lightly, "This is the information my adopted son came back from after personally going to Fusang."
Cao Zhengchun heard the words and did not question it again, "So it turns out that Duan Tianya is a stable person. Since he is the one who took action, there must be no more omissions." With a flick of his finger, the letter instantly turned into scraps of paper.
"Now that everything is ready, all we need is the east wind. I wonder who in the palace is ready now?" The Eighth Prince asked softly, without even looking at the confetti, looking at the Imperial Guards patrolling slowly past in the distance.
This is the palace. According to the rules, internal and external ministers should not have too much contact. If what they do is seen by others, they will inevitably be criticized. Just listen to Cao Zhengchun say again: "My lord, please rest assured, the empress has already considered the plan thoroughly. The situation is already established, no matter how much power they have in their hands, they will not be able to reverse the situation."
Hearing this, the Eighth Prince felt relieved. He paused and said, "After all, the Emperor is a blood relative of my royal family. If the matter finally comes true, can I spare his life?"
Cao Zhengchun looked at him funny and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going to ask the empress now. Maybe the empress and the emperor are no longer in love in bed. There's no telling if she won't have the heart to take action!"
¡óThe Eighth Prince frowned slightly and sighed, "Forget it, I also know that this is unrealistic. Major things are more important, so let's stick to the original plan." After saying that, he shook his head with some regret and left quietly while taking advantage of the patrol break. .
Cao Zhengchun¡¯s eyes were full of ridicule as he gave a light salute to the shadow behind him. There was deep darkness in the dark corner, and the darkness seemed to separate a figure from the air at the next moment!
The figure is a bit slender and looks like a woman from the light steps. "You did a good job. He still thinks that the empress is the mastermind behind the scenes! Hehe." The voice was very soft. Discussing any conspiracy in such a tone made Cao Zhengchun feel a sense of disobedience. But of course he wouldn't say that, and continued: "Your Excellency, you are too generous. Power corrupts people. Under the temptation of power, the little blood and family affection in his heart is meaningless."
The figure nodded with satisfaction and hummed when he saw a lot of paper scraps blown away by the wind on the ground: "The countries in this sea area are really like mud that can't hold up the wall. If it is only to this extent, there is no need to exert much strength at all." We can unify them!"
Cao Zhengchun nodded. "Yes, this Emperor Fusang has great ambitions and talents. Being able to unify Fusang has already deprived him of his ancestors' wealth. As for the other sea countries, they are not worth mentioning! But after all, we are still at war with the Liao Kingdom and Mongolia at the same time. This person seems to be a little stretched. ¡±
The figure said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, you can control your mind through magic. This kind of fanatic believers are basically mass-produced. All we have to do is to stimulate their potential. As for the masters, find some people in the martial arts to train them into puppets. !¡±
Cao Zhengchun's heart trembled when he heard this. He had seen masters who were controlled, their eyes were dull and blood-red, like a pack of hungry wolves. Cruel and crazy! The figure didn't notice anything strange about Cao Zhengchun, and just said: "But Fusang doesn't have any masters anymore. There's no need to spend too much effort on it. Send some people there, real master puppets are also very valuable."
Cao Zhengchun gave a respectful salute and slowly left. Seeing this, the black shadow also turned around and disappeared. The breeze has been blowing for a long time, and the guards in the palace are still looking at every corner energetically, but no one noticed that in this short moment, someone had completed the transmission of information.
"Well, it seems that the training of the guards still needs to be strengthened!" A joking laughter sounded, and the sound like a silver bell made you unable to bear to scold.
"That one was the mastermind just now? He must be a mysterious cultivator, otherwise it would be impossible to escape my sight!" A magnetic male voice followed closely.
A pink figure suddenly descended from the dense tree canopy, with a delicate face carrying a hint of heroism. Lu Xiaofeng, who followed him as he fell from the beam, was stunned for a moment, "Haha, I heard that you encountered problems in your practice, but look. With your glowing face, you must have passed the hard time!"
Dongfang Sheng smiled mysteriously and looked at the dark shadow corner, "This should be a spell that can possess oneself in the darkness. But the mysterious appearance just now seems a bit unsatisfactory. I guess this kind of spell It¡¯s just a bit weird, but it has no effect on increasing the power.¡±
Lu Xiaofeng nodded noncommittally and said, "Well, it's somewhat similar to the Fuso Shadow Imitation Technique. But it's not very useful. Because just now I could find his true body both through perception and sight. This little trick is probably only for innates." It¡¯s easy to use if you are in the realm or below!¡±
Dongfang Sheng nodded in agreement, "You can't even see that black shadow."How strong he is, and that figure has basically exposed his identity. "
"Oh? Did you see it? Tell me." Lu Xiaofeng asked with interest.
Dongfang Shengwuyan just thought and said: "Forget it, I am just guessing and there is no evidence. Just wait for me to confirm it. By the way, has the Eighth Prince you are following noticed?"
Lu Xiaofeng shrugged, "Nothing new, just that his adopted son is interesting."
"how?"
Lu Xiaofeng continued: "According to the reports from Tianxiahui's spies in Fuso, Duan Tianya seems to have deliberately missed the movements of the Yagyu family. In his report, only the Fuso royal family was causing trouble."
Dongfang Sheng thought for a while and said: "This is a good thing. Ling Xiao had specifically informed before leaving that he should take more care of the Fuso Yagyu sisters. Wouldn't it be better now that they can stay out of the sight of these people?"
Lu Xiaofeng rubbed her temples after hearing this, "Why is there Ling Xiao everywhere? Did he already know that the enemy was going to attack Fusang before he left? Are you going to be so outrageous!"
Dongfang Sheng chuckled when he heard this, "Now it seems that the Eighth Prince and Cao Zhengchun you and I are tracking respectively do not seem to have a very important status. On the contrary, the black shadow is mysterious!"
"Speaking of which, is it reliable to identify someone's face by his silhouette? Why does it sound like he's being misled!" Lu Xiaofeng looked at her funny and said.
"Don't underestimate a woman's intuition, especially her keen intuition in the category of beauties!" Dongfang Sheng snorted and ducked away.
Lu Xiaofeng couldn¡¯t laugh or cry for a while. She turned around and looked at the majestic palace complex and suddenly felt bored. This criss-crossing place always leaves you with endless worries. well. I don¡¯t know when Xiao Xi and Lao Ye will come back. They want to find someone to live in a state of drunkenness but can¡¯t find.
¡¡
A dazzling golden light flashed, and Pudu Cihang and his 20 people finally arrived in this dark space, but their destination was really different from Ling Xiao and others. Perhaps, as the leading young man said, these were the people behind the scenes. An intentional arrangement.
Pudu Cihang looked around with a surprised look. There were ruins and broken walls everywhere. After a while, there was a faint air wave blowing in the air. Waves of coercive radiation made the muscles all over his body tense.
The leading young man shook his head and said: "There is no need to be nervous. This pressure is just the aftermath of the collision of the two heavenly ways. It will not cause any harm."
Pudu Cihang hurriedly asked: "Is it possible that someone is fighting fiercely among the black clouds?"
The young man denied: "No, there is no one there anymore, it's just that the past war was too fierce, and the collision between the way of heaven and the way of heaven inevitably caused distortions, and the damage to the environment has almost reached an eternal state. ¡±
Pudu Cihang was shocked when he heard this, "How powerful are these two people? Are they as powerful as the legendary saints?"
The young man chuckled and said, "Saint? How could it be so easy to become a saint!" Then he squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, pointing at the dots of colorful light shining through the black clouds and said, "If I remember correctly. That was where the Tathagata was originally. A battlefield left behind when fighting the enemy.¡±
"Hiss! Buddha?" Pudu Cihang gasped, and suddenly remembered to ask: "Then what exactly is this place?"
When the young man heard this, he looked around with great nostalgia. He pointed casually and said, "Have you seen the barren mountain on the left? There used to be purple bamboos all over the mountain. Its name is Zizhu Forest. It was the dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva back then! Look at the temple on the right that has collapsed into pieces. Maitreya Buddha used to sit in the temple with his mouth open every day!" Then he looked forward with a cold snort, "In the past, their reputation was far higher than mine, but now? The only building that still stands in the Holy Land of Lingshan. My dojo!¡±
The young man said that he turned on the tsundere mode and started to walk forward with his head held high. There was a palace at the end of the road ahead. In this place full of ruins, a palace that was completely intact and even had a hint of golden light was not too eye-catching!
Pudu Cihang followed closely behind him, the eighteen bald men still remained silent, and everyone just walked in silence. The further forward, the faint pressure became heavier. Pudu Cihang began to sweat profusely, and even his muscles began to twitch. Just ahead, in the palace, a high-energy reaction reminded him of danger all the time!
It¡¯s just that the young man at this moment seems to be in a daze, his face is full of enthusiasm, and his eyes are emitting a strange red light, as if two strange rubies give people a beautiful illusion!
"Haha, you are still the same! Your eyes turn red when you get excited!" A voice full of joking suddenly resounded throughout the world.
The young man's steps paused for an instant, and his red eyes slowly faded and turned to reveal danger.The light of ?.
"I thought I wouldn't see you this time!" The young man suddenly laughed. In front of him, the void suddenly distorted and revealed a vague figure. The next moment, the figure suddenly became clear. The gray monk's robe, the disheveled clothes without any decoration, and the confident smile made people feel close to him at first sight.
The young man looked the Taoist up and down, "I haven't seen you for a long time. It seems that you are living a good life! I don't know what benefits those saints have given you? You have been dedicated to them for many years!"
The Taoist rolled up the broad sleeves of his robe and put it behind his back, and sighed in the same way: "We are all acquainted at the beginning, so there is no need to test with cynicism when we first meet!"
"Oh? You want to reminisce about the past? But this doesn't look like reminiscing about the past!" The young man said and glanced back, only to see Pudu Cihang and the eighteen strong men continuing to move forward with blank expressions on their faces. But in fact, they didn't move a step at all!
The Taoist waved his hand indifferently, "Don't worry about these small details. Besides, why have you ever cared about their safety?"
Hearing this, the young man actually nodded, "You know me quite well, so what do you want to do when you come out to see me?"
"Make a deal with you!"
"Deal?" The young man suddenly became happy when he heard this, "Haha, the people who messed with you when you were a god will not end well! Although I have lived for a long time, I haven't lived enough yet. But I don't dare to do anything with you. involve."
The Taoist was not a little embarrassed when faced with irony. Instead, he laughed and said: "Hahaha! You are joking. My enemies at that time were saints and gods. Although those friends were loyal, most of them were murderous masters. There were too many causes and effects involved, even if they had nothing to do with me. If you are involved, it will definitely not end well!¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that you are so open-minded, but when it comes to this consciousness, you are higher than me!¡± The young man sighed after hearing this.
But the Taoist said: "Your Excellency is too modest. When it comes to being wise and protecting yourself, who is your opponent?"
The young man raised his delicate eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, I'll take your ridicule as a compliment for now! Then let's get down to business. Why do you think I should trade with you?"
Before the Taoist could answer, he saw a red light suddenly blooming in the young man's eyes, and the sky and the earth were suddenly shrouded in a strange coldness. The corners of the Taoist's mouth twitched and he sighed softly, "Just because of your determination to fight whenever you say, You can destroy a whole bunch of ancient gods, haha!¡±
"You only have thirty breaths left to convince me." The young man did not make a move, perhaps out of caution or out of temptation, but he didn't seem to care anyway from the Taoist's appearance.
"Haha, you really gave me face! According to your past habits, you should do it quietly first and then talk about it!" The Taoist exclaimed as if he was flattered.
"Haha. It is not easy to find two enemies who have known each other since ancient times! Based on this alone, I should give you a chance!" The young man responded in the tone of a Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest said bitterly: "It turns out that such a long acquaintance is only worth thirty breaths! Should I feel honored or sad?"
The young man took a deep breath and hummed: "When I was a god, I heard that your mouth was more powerful than the entire Chan religion. Now that I saw it, I didn't see where it was strong, but it should be as annoying as Jin. Cicada is on par!" After saying that, he slapped his palm, and the invisible energy slowly radiated forward, and circles of collapse began in the space.
Looking at the collapsed space, the Taoist priest screamed: "Hey, the thirty breath time hasn't come yet, you really want to beat me!"
There was no fluctuation on the young man's face. He didn't think that his attack could cause any harm to the opponent. He just wanted to see what the Taoist priest had in his cards. Based on his understanding of Taoist priests, the other party will not make useless temptations, and the group of people who entered the Holy Land of Lingshan before must still need his care. In other words, the Taoist priest does not have time to chat here, he will deter himself as soon as possible!
Sure enough, although the Taoist priest was not shocked when faced with the collapsing space, he then lifted up his hem like a crazy man, revealing two rods covered with leg hair!
"If Ling Xiao were to do this again, he would definitely point at the Taoist priest and scold him for being obscene. You are only wearing a pair of trousers, and they are actually red! Do you consider yourself a superman?
But the young man¡¯s focus was different from Ling Xiao¡¯s. The Taoist priest¡¯s piece of gray cloth that seemed to be pulled out from his crotch shocked him even though he had seen strong winds and waves!
The corners of the Taoist priest's eyes were filled with smiles. He shook the gray piece of cloth first like a stinker, and the young man's body actually trembled along with the piece of cloth. Then a figure suddenly emerged from the gray cloth.??The gray mist appeared under the feet and passed by gently. There was no loud noise, no surging murderous intent, and no strong pressure. The mist circled around like a patrol and then flew back into the cloth. .
But the collapsed space in front of him has returned to calm, and the young man also stepped back with fear in his eyes!
?Kerala!
A crisp sound suddenly came, the earth slowly cracked from the middle, and the long passage was cut into two parts. The originally floating land gradually separated and floated to both sides in the young man's ugly eyes!
"Is this your trump card? The fragments of Pangu Banner!" The young man's tone became colder, but he was still strong and unfazed!
The Taoist priest pinned the gray piece of cloth into his red pants and said with a smile: "What's this? It's just to tell you that after being around for so long, I have a lot of trump cards! Hahahahaha!"
The young man clasped his hands behind his back and thought for a moment: "You know, I'm not afraid of you!"
The Taoist priest tied up his Taoist robe again and said happily: "Of course I know this. Anyone who has lived from ancient times to the present will not be offended by you! You can scare a lot of people to death just by taking out that thing and shaking it. "
"Then you still dare to stop me?"
"I'm not stopping you, I just want to make a deal with you. Of course, it's fine if you don't want to deal, but I'm confident that I'll be entangled with you forever! Anyway, I don't believe you will use it on me, hehe!" Taoist priest! He smiled rather roguely.
The young man narrowed his eyes for a while before sighing, "What do you want?"
The Taoist priest smiled and said: "I can tell you clearly that what you want is in that hall. The seal of Saint Zhunti has long been crumbling under the erosion of the years. With your ability, you can get it in an instant It can be broken, but if I bother you, even if a disaster strikes, you will never succeed!"
"I understand, just say it."
"I want you to get out of the Holy Land of Lingshan after you get it, and you are not allowed to do anything harmful to this place!" The Taoist priest's expression suddenly became extremely serious. ,
The young man sneered and said, "It seems you don't want me to disturb them. Do you really want to place your hopes on them?"
Before the Taoist priest could answer, the young man said again: "I promise you!" (To be continued)
