Chapter 116: Saint
Above the immortal abode of the Lu family, fireworks suddenly exploded, and clusters of fireworks soared into the sky. It was a clear day, but the colors of the fireworks were not bright.
It was the eve of the New Year, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard everywhere, so it was not surprising that the Lu family set off fireworks.
But in the building of the Zhou family, the patriarch of the Zhou family saw the fireworks from afar and his face suddenly changed. He quickly shouted, "Disperse the divine power!"
Behind him, the great masters of the Zhou family each withdrew their own elixir and divine power, each with their own doubts.
The astonishing vibration emitted by the Sunset Divine Crossbow slowly subsided. The crossbow arrows were extremely bright just now, but now they were slowly becoming dim. Just activating the Sunset Divine Crossbow was equivalent to a fierce battle for the masters of the Zhou family, making them extremely exhausted.
However, the patriarch of the Zhou family suddenly ordered them to stop, leaving everyone present puzzled.
On the other side, Wen Lifang, a servant of the Jiuyuan Academy, saw the fireworks in the sky and immediately withdrew her own vitality. Behind her, the dozens of Great Wilderness Bronze Mirrors that had split into front and back merged back into one.
Wen Lifang was doubtful, she stood up and quickly came to the window, looking towards the direction of the Cloud Bridge, muttering to herself, "That old guy, he finally couldn't sit still? This is unexpected!"
In the immortal abode of the Lin family, Lin Zhiyuan, the patriarch of the Lin family, dressed in white, played the zither while burning incense. Just as he was about to play the song "General's Order" with a heroic and vigorous atmosphere, he suddenly noticed the fireworks and his face changed drastically. He quickly put his hands on the strings and forcibly suppressed the divine power that was about to erupt.
Lin Zhiyuan groaned and was shaken by the vibration.
At the same time, the Wu family, Tong family, and Tian family also became quiet and still.
The rulers of these aristocratic families almost simultaneously came to the window to look towards the Cloud Bridge, and the same thought rose in their hearts.
"That person has finally come!"
...
On the first floor of the Fushan Palace, Su Yun noticed the fireworks soaring into the sky, and after the fireworks exploded, there was no more movement.
He waited for a while, but there were no other anomalies in the city. For Shuofang City, this was just an ordinary day. Su Yun looked towards the direction of those aristocratic families, but he couldn't see any clues.
He withdrew his gaze and looked curiously at the unremarkable old man, asking cautiously, "May I ask who the senior is?"
The old man put his hands on the table and looked at his palms.
Su Yun's heart trembled, and he already had an answer: "Bai Yuelou also made the same gesture in front of me!"
.
Although he always appeared to be a blind man, he never missed any details that needed to be observed. Bai Yuelou had this small habit, but based on Su Yun's understanding of Bai Yuelou, this habit should have been learned from someone else.
"My surname is Xue, and my name is Qingfu."The old man smiled and said, "With only the power under Lao Piao Ba Zi, it's impossible to stop the retaliation of the seven major families. Therefore, Lao Piao Ba Zi and Qiu Tai Chang must personally take action. But even if Lao Piao Ba Zi and Qiu Tai Chang take action themselves, it's difficult to avoid heavy casualties. So, to show sincerity and make this year a little better, I choose to show myself."
Su Yun's mind was shaken, he took a deep breath and stood up to pay his respects as a junior, "Scholar Su Yun pays respects to the Sage of Shu Fang!"
"No need for formalities," said the old man who was none other than the Sage of Shu Fang. He smiled and said, "Please sit down. Qiu Tai Chang and Lao Piao Ba Zi know that you are in trouble and they know that the seven major families will definitely take this opportunity to force them to take action, otherwise they will have to abandon you. If I don't show up, I'm afraid I will lose three allies."
In just two short sentences, he stated the pros and cons, making it clear why he came to save Su Yun and dispelling all of Su Yun's doubts.
The old man continued, "Qiu Tai Chang is also a smart person, he allowed my disciple to enter his dojo. As long as Bai Yuelou enters his immortal residence, it will show his attitude towards me. He can tolerate me and cooperate with me. Therefore, I'm borrowing flowers to present to Buddha and taking the initiative to meet you."
Su Yun couldn't help but feel a wonderful feeling. When talking to this old man, you never need to ask, he seemed to be able to know your thoughts in advance and answer your questions.
The Sage of Shu Fang, was such a wonderful person.
The Sage of Shu Fang, Xue Qingfu said, "The chaos between humans and demons made him and Lao Piao Ba Zi suspicious of me, but when the scholar figured out the case of the Thunder Strike Valley, they knew with their wisdom that the human and demon case was a trap against the three of us."
In a flash of insight, Su Yun immediately said, "I understand! The purpose of the human and demon case and the seven major families is not to create slaughter, but to use the human and demon case to lure out the owner of the Ten Beautiful Sceneries Map, Qiu Shuijing, and the Sage of Shu Fang. They used the suspicion and distrust between you to make you fight each other and suffer three defeats!"
Xue Qingfu smiled and said, "The key point of the human and demon case is not the human and demon, but the entrance exam. During the exam, they intentionally made you suspect me, suspect that I released the human and demon, causing chaos and taking away my reputation. In fact, Qiu Tai Chang and Lao Piao Ba Zi did suspect me."
Su Yun was so excited that he stood up and walked around in the carriage, saying, "That night was chaotic, there were demons and monsters everywhere in the city, and even I was ambushed. If the Sage appeared, he might be lured by someone with malicious intent and might even conflict with Mr. Shuijing and the others."
Xue Qingfu smiled and said, "So I didn't do anything all night. Being called a Sage comes with responsibility, and I must take action, but I cannot take action."
Su Yun deeply agreed.
"It's so comfortable talking to you."Xue Qingfu smiled and said, "Xiaolou is not as clever as you, sometimes I have to explain more. But talking to you, I feel relaxed."
Su Yun deeply agreed and said, "Perhaps this is how smart people talk to each other."
Xue Qingfu said, "I have a second purpose for coming here. Do you know what it is?"
Su Yun's eyes flickered and he said, "Shui Jing left the Holy Prince at the Immortal Abode, which means he is guiding him in his cultivation. By doing this, he is showing the Saint that he is willing to work with him. If the Saint gets on my carriage, to show that I am not taking advantage of him, he will also guide me in my cultivation."
Xue Qingfu was stunned and suddenly sighed, "If only you were my disciple. Unfortunately, the child I picked up back then was Xiaolou. He is not as good as you in many ways, except perhaps for his ability to cause trouble, which is not as good as yours. That is the most fortunate thing."
Su Yun remained silent.
"But you guessed it wrong."
Xue Qingfu smiled and said, "It is natural for me to owe Qu Taichang a favor, but it is not my purpose. My purpose is to find out who is behind the second wave of investigating your power."
"The second force?"
Su Yun was stunned. He suddenly remembered the night he was injured and lying on the bed in the medicinal herb shop. There were two battles outside, one between Idle Cloud Taoist and Wu Shentong, and the other between Doctor Dong and Yutianjiang in the old no man's land!
Yutianjiang's big hand was cut off by Doctor Dong, occupying half of the street, which left a deep impression on him!
"Is the second force investigating me from the old no man's land in Tian Shi Yuan?" he thought to himself.
Xue Qingfu said, "I once ventured into the old no man's land alone and had dealings and battles with the demons and saints there. They should not invade Shuofang. Yet they did, and they came to investigate you. So my second purpose is..."
He looked at Su Yun with a smile and encouragement.
Su Yun had to follow his meaning and said, "The Saint's second purpose is to take me to the old no man's land in Tian Shi Yuan. However, Lao Piao Ba Zi will not allow you to take me there. He does not trust the Saint."
Xue Qingfu said leisurely, "He has no say in the matter. When Mr. Su got on the carriage, he joked with the demons. He probably didn't pay attention to whether the coachman had been changed or not, right?"
Su Yun was stunned, and hurriedly walked to the small window at the end of the carriage.
He saw Zhou Bo.
Zhou Bo, who had first attacked Hu Buping when they met!
Su Yun closed the window and returned to his seat, saying, "The Saint will surely ensure my safety."
Xue Qingfu smiled and said, "I dare not guarantee that."
Su Yun's heart skipped a beat.Xue Qingfu laughed: "Let's first go to the Shuofang City post station and take a car to Tian Shi Yuan. It's still early, Su Shizi is working hard on his cultivation, maybe there will be a fierce battle in the old deserted area of Tian Shi Yuan."
Su Yun grunted and thought to himself: "This is my seventh day in the city, I have already solved three major cases, do I really have to work on the fourth case today without rest?"
Wen Chang Study Palace, Wen Chang Hall.
"Rusty City's Dangucheng, I've met Lao Piao Ba!"
The cart driver carrying Su Yun and his mountain of luggage had arrived at the Wen Chang Study Palace and bowed to Zuo Songyan, saying: "I met a saint who said that there will be someone like Tong Qingluo who will take action later, so I came back early."
Zuo Songyan's face changed slightly: "That old man is also planning to take action? But he has a big reputation and face, maybe he can solve this without taking action."
He exhaled a breath and smiled: "With the Shuofang Saint here, I have no worries and don't need to worry about that kid wandering around and causing trouble...hm, let's investigate the case."
The cart driver, Dangucheng, said: "The saint mentioned that he wants to borrow the Upper Messenger for a few days to explore the old deserted area. Please don't worry, Lao Piao Ba."
Zuo Songyan's face changed drastically as he paced back and forth, worried: "I hope he doesn't cause any more trouble. Lao Piao Ba can't handle it..."
Sitting quietly in the cart, Su Yun ignored the saint beside him and carefully pondered the Honglu Shanchan Bian Yulan realm technique.
The Honglu Shanchan Bian technique created by Qiu Shuijing was indeed vast and profound, containing incredible mysteries. The most amazing thing was using fire to ignite the Honglu in the spiritual realm!
He had never thought that Qiu Shuijing could use this method to connect two completely unrelated realms!
From the perspective of what needs to be cultivated in these two realms, there is no connection at all. The foundational realm cultivates martial arts, the body, and enhances qi. The spiritual realm cultivates supernatural powers and spiritual nature.
What makes Qiu Shuijing great is that he found the connection between these two realms and connected them through a technique, no longer dividing them!
After a long time, Su Yun slowly activated the Honglu Shanchan Bian technique. The twelve holy heavenly and earthly qi surged and twelve holy shadows appeared behind him.
At the same time, the twelve holy imprints of Yinglong, Kaiming, Taotie, and Teng appeared on the wall of the furnace in his body, running and playing in various shapes.
Gradually, the imprints flew out of the furnace wall and gathered in the furnace.
His blood and qi flowed like burning furnace fire, constantly flowing towards the twelve holy imprints and merging with them!
The twelve holy imprints also got closer and closer, but they still couldn't merge together and turn into fire seeds as Qiu Shuijing's technique had taught him.
Although Qiu Shuijing was the creator, he had never practiced this technique himself.The fire seed of the Honglu Shifting Flames in the Fire Spirit Realm... Su Yun only speculated that this method could possibly refine it, but now he found himself in a difficult situation. He had already mobilized almost all of his blood and qi, but still couldn't merge the twelve divine sacred imprints into the fire seed! On the contrary, the imprints, which had merged so much blood and qi, were showing signs of exploding!
Su Yun's face was solemn as he slowly relaxed. The twelve divine sacred imprints gradually separated. He couldn't relax too quickly, otherwise, the furnace in his body might burst!
"Did Qu Taichang teach you this?" The saint Xue Qingfu asked with a smile.
Su Yun dispersed his blood and qi before nodding.
Xue Qingfu smiled slightly and said, "It's a bit more sophisticated than what I know, but it also has some major loopholes. It's not much more sophisticated than what I know."
Su Yun heard the other meaning in his words and asked tentatively, "Did the saint have a conflict with Master Shuijing?"
"Not really," Xue Qingfu said. "When the emperor ascended to the throne, Qu Taichang accused me of seizing power and controlling the court, so the emperor dismissed me and sent me back to Shuofang."
Su Yun hesitated for a moment and asked, "So did the saint seize power?"
"I did," Xue Qingfu said with a smile. "The young emperor showed the traits of a tyrant, so I had to control the court."
Zhaizhu: This is not scientific. Chi Xiaoyao has more fans than Master Lingyue. You can give ten hearts to her every day.
