Chapter 144 Feng Wu's Dowry - The Secret of Xuantian Treasure House
From Xu Qing's observation, Feng Wu exuded a mysterious and profound aura.
Xuan means blue.
Xu Qing saw Feng Wu's fontanelle open, and a figure with a faint green glow came out from inside.
The fontanelle is most prominent in infancy and gradually closes with age.
Just now, Feng Wu reopened the fontanelle, which felt like returning to being a "baby".
Feng Wu's soul manifested, and he actually skipped the stage of "borrowing objects to manifest".
"It feels a bit like when Lord Fang appeared outside Tianjing City that day."
Feng Wu's spirit appeared.
Naturally, it is far less solid than Lord Fang's and is almost indistinguishable from his physical body.
But the flavor of the two is somewhat similar.
"The Book of Destruction of Love is indeed powerful."
Although Xu Qing practiced the Xuantian Visualization Method, which was known as the top-level Zhoutian Xingshen Visualization, the mysteries contained in it might not be better than the Destroying Love Book.
In fact, this is not surprising. The cultivation methods of ordinary disciples of Quanzhen Taoism in the past could also lead to the realm of ghost immortals and martial saints, but the progress was slow and not as vigorous and advanced as the supreme scriptures of the major holy places.
But there is no gap in the final ceiling.
On the other hand, although it is a good thing to make great progress in the Supreme Book, it also requires extremely high qualifications from the practitioner and it is very easy to go astray, which is also a disadvantage.
The basic cultivation methods of Quanzhen Taoism and Dachan Temple have the same characteristics, that is, being moderate and peaceful.
The progress is slow, but it is suitable for increasing length of service. Over time, it can guarantee a relatively high lower limit, and the upper limit is also very high.
It is not easy to go astray.
As for the Supreme Treasure Book, it is suitable for people with extraordinary talents and physiques, or those who have various opportunities and can make fast progress in cultivation.
The higher the achievements you make when you are young, the more benefits you will gain in the ups and downs of life.
You should become famous as early as possible. If you wait until you are in your seventies or eighties to become famous, you will be too old to have fun!
Xu Qing observed the process of Feng Wu concentrating his spirit and revealing his form. The negative energy from the old sycamore tree in the yard gathered towards Feng Wu.
If Xu Qing and the old Wutong tree are a blend of yin and yang, then Feng Wu uses the mystery of the Book of Destruction of Love to purify the yin of the old Wutong tree, achieving the effect of removing the dross and retaining the essence.
As expected, there is a "兀" in the name, it should be here.
After an unknown amount of time, Feng Wu's spirit returned to his body, and there was a hint of bright light in his eyes.
Xu Qing knew that this was a sign of profound spiritual cultivation.
"Not bad." Xu Qing praised sincerely.
Feng Wu smiled and said, "I have to thank my husband for the precious tree in his yard."
Xu Qing coughed, feeling something strange.
He asked, "How do you feel now?"
Feng Wu: "After revealing my form, the whole world seems to be different. The body is both a shell to protect the soul and a confinement."
Xu Qing: "This feeling is both right and wrong. I have always been thinking that when one cultivates both the body and the soul and reaches a very high level, will there be no difference between the spirit and the body? When gathered, they take shape; when dispersed, they become qi, and they change in a myriad of ways..."
Feng Wu groaned, "Maybe. I've only heard that if you cultivate to the Martial Saint realm, even if your arm is broken, it can be replaced, or if some parts are missing, they can grow back."
Xu Qing asked curiously, "I heard that there is a Martial Saint in the capital. Have you seen him?"
Feng Wu shook his head: "I heard from the temple master that the martial saint is already over a hundred years old. I don't know how long he can live."
She paused for a moment and said, "I heard the temple master comment on people in the world and said that the person who is most likely to become the next martial saint is the abbot of the Great Zen Temple, Xiong Chan. He is already a martial arts master and is unfathomable. In his eyes, ordinary possessed masters are no match for him."
Xu Qing had heard of Xiong Chan's strength, but Dachan Temple's roots were in the north, too close to the imperial power, and the Dayu Dynasty had a Martial Saint in charge.
Unless Xiong Chan is willing to give up the foundation of Dachan Temple, he will have to be cautious in facing the power of the imperial court.
But in the process of contact with Dachan Temple, Xu Qing could realize that Xiongchan was secretly accumulating great ambitions, had been planning in Nanzhili for many years, and had considerable potential. It's just that this man was very cunning and had been forbearing all this time.
Xiong Chan also has an extremely terrifying trait, which is the ability to correct errors.
Although he was at odds with Yan Kong and Xu Qing at the beginning, after understanding the situation, he was able to quickly change his attitude and cooperate with Xu Qing, and restored the close relationship between the major and minor clans with Yan Kong.
It should be noted that people like this all have their own pride, and people like Xiong Chan are even more so.
It happened that Xiong Chan was able to break through this obstacle, which shows that Buddhism is also very profound and he realized the wonder of "no self".
Xu Qing asked: "Did the master mention me?"
Feng Wu smiled and said, "I have never commented on you before, but next time I see him, if he gives me face, he will definitely comment on you."
Xu Qing: "I still need to consider your face!"
Feng Wu smiled: "Okay, okay, you are the best."
The two of them joked for a while, and Xu Qing held his wife's hand and said, "Good Master, you said before that if I can cultivate to the point of manifesting, there will be great benefits for me. You see, I have contributed a lot, so please tell me what the benefits are."
Feng Wu couldn't help laughing, but Xu Qing was indeed very interesting. He had many faces and always made people feel comfortable and happy to get along with him.
And he won't let himself down.
She felt very lucky to have met a good man like Xu Qing who was willing to tolerate and understand her.
She said, "Does my husband know the Taoist Xuantian?"
Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat, but then he calmly asked, "I know a little bit. Why?"
Feng Wu: "This matter is related to Taoist Xuantian. Taoist Xuantian got some of the treasures left by Taoist Chongyang, and then hid his own treasures in the 'Xuantian Treasure House'. It is because my master got this secret that he has been entangled by the Luo Cult and Prince Yu and other forces..."
"Prince Jade?"
Feng Wu nodded: "Husband, be careful of this prince. He is the de facto crown prince, and he is not as honest and cowardly as people think. In fact, the Minister of Revenue Wang Gong is Prince Yu's man. He has a deep influence on the Ministry of Revenue. In addition, he holds the key to some maritime trade businesses. These are all found by my master before he died."
Xu Qing: "He did this to protect himself and to ascend the throne smoothly, so it's not surprising that he did this."
Xu Qing himself is such a person, so he can understand it very well.
However, it may not be a good thing for an emperor to do these things.
Govern the country.
He personally believed that conspiracies and schemes were at most beneficial to consolidating power, but were of no benefit to the world.
For example, why is Emperor Wen of Han considered the wise ruler after the Three Dynasties?
Xu Qing believes that Emperor Wen of Han was a top political strategist among emperors, but his way of governing the country did not rely on political strategists. He emphasized being upright and doing things silently.
"I have heard that all things in the world will eventually die. Death is the law of nature and the natural order of things. Why should we be so sad about it..."
The fact that he could say such words in his will and that he could be buried simply after his death shows his cultivation and magnanimity.
In comparison, Emperor Renzong of the previous dynasty, although highly regarded among the literati, only had the form of Emperor Wen, but not his spirit.
Emperor Wen of Han meant "Wen" rather than "Ren".
He punished the great hero Zhou Bo and forced his own uncle to death, but no one thought it was a stain on Emperor Wen of Han.
This method is more clever than anything Xu Qing is doing now.
Privately, Xu Qing also tried to figure out and learn from Emperor Wen of Han.
He was good at taking advantage of situations and grasping the crux of the problem, and was somewhat influenced by Emperor Wen of Han.
Of course, he learned from many people and their knowledge was diverse. If it weren't for the bronze mirror, Xu Qing would not be alive today.
There's even a lot of luck involved.
Even if the Fushe was established, internal strife could not be avoided and it was still infiltrated by the big families.
But Xu Qing couldn't solve the problem from the root, because it was unrealistic. Where there are people, there is the underworld, and people are the underworld.
He wants to employ people and develop his power, so internal strife and infiltration by big families are inevitable. It is also possible that he will be the one to reap the benefits in the future.
The noble families since ancient times have been very familiar with this set.
Join if you can't.
If you can't deal with the founder of a country, then you will have to deal with your descendants.
Our dynasty's Taizu was such a powerful figure that he considered himself a landlord and all the nobles in the world were just long-term tenants. His ruling methods must have been sophisticated.
The results of it……
Not many years after the prime minister was abolished, the cabinet appeared.
Even in the later years of Emperor Taizu of Dayu, the imperial power had been impacted and affected, and raising the butcher knife still could not solve the fundamental problem.
In life, there are always trade-offs.
Eat as much as your appetite allows.
As long as Xu Qing does not pursue eternal glory, his foundation will now be more stable and vibrant than any other force of the same level in the world.
It's enough to be used at the moment.
Each generation does its own thing.
Unless he alone can last for thousands of years, then consider more.
While thinking, Xu Qing listened to his wife telling the secrets of the Xuantian Treasure House.
Overseas, Liubo Mountain, this is the key to Xuantian Treasure House.
Feng Wu said: "Liubo Mountain is not a fixed mountain, but its position is constantly changing with the ocean currents. The entrance to the treasure house is locked with a heartless lock. I need to use my visible soul to perceive it and use the love thread as the key to open it. However..."
"how?"
Feng Wu pondered and said, "The Heartless Lock can only open the outer vault. Although there are many treasures and weapons in the outer vault, the most important secret treasures, magic tools and the Human Yuan Pill left by Taoist Xuantian are all in the inner vault of the treasury. My master doesn't know how to open the inner vault either."
"The Heartless Lock, this must be something from your Destroying Love Sect, right? Why did it appear in the Xuantian Treasury?"
Feng Wu sighed, "Because among the people who built this treasure house is Xuantian Taoist's Taoist partner, and that person is also the Saintess of the Mieqing Dao."
Xu Qing thought: "This is unfortunate."
He is also the successor of Xuantian Taoist, and Awu is the successor of Mieqing Taoist.
Is there really a terrible hand of fate in the dark?
Xu Qing thought of the visualization method of the five great demon gods again. They all had their own reasons for appearing, but there was also a sense of fate in them.
In fact, Xu Qing's involvement with the Lotus Sect was somewhat related to Feng Wu.
Because the Lotus Sect first came into contact with Feng Wu.
Xu Qing: "How can we find the location of Liubo Mountain?"
Feng Wu: "I have the secret method left by my master, which can help me find the approximate range, but the specific location requires someone with rich maritime experience to determine. Originally, I was planning to use the influence of my husband and father to find such a talent in the court, but now it seems that there are better options."
"Gao Gongyuan?"
Feng Wu nodded.
Xu Qing: "Yes, this man has become the deputy leader of the Giant Whale Gang by virtue of his experience and ability in maritime affairs. His relevant abilities are beyond description."
Feng Wu said, "When will my husband rescue him? I remember that the case in Yingtian Prefecture was closed and this man was sentenced to beheading, and his family was exiled to Lingnan. But the matter of his family should be the work of my husband."
Although the person had to be given to King Lin, Gao Gongyuan's family was exiled to Lingnan, which was the territory of Zhou Tixue and the Red Flower Society, which was tantamount to putting the hostage in their own hands.
So Gao Gongyuan was equivalent to Xu Qing loaned to King Lin.
Xu Qing trusts his friends, but it is also necessary to guard against their betrayal.
Never test human nature, for it cannot withstand the test.
People's hearts are changeable.
Even if I can go through fire and water for you the last moment, that may change the next moment.
The combination of interests and increasing the cost of betrayal are the only ways for a force to remain stable over the long term.
Xu Qing said: "I have already said hello to my uncle."
Feng Wu knew that it couldn't be that simple, but she heard that some members of Fushe had gone to Lingnan, and perhaps her husband would use this to control the affairs of Lingnan.
Lingnan is a key place, far away from home, with complex composition and close to the sea.
Those who have tried to reform have never had a good ending.
Lingnan is more suitable as a retreat route than Nanzhili.
Feng Wu asked, "When are you going to go with me to open the Xuantian Treasure House?"
Xu Qing: "Wait until spring. During this time, let's try spiritual communication and dual cultivation."
Feng Wu blushed, "You have to wait a few days. My spirit and body are not stable enough yet."
Xu Qing smiled slightly, "I'm not impatient."
...
...
On the other side, Jinguang Temple.
Fa Yue has been feeling uneasy lately.
Because Yan Kong had been looking for him recently, telling him many things, and for the first time ever, he taught him many profound secrets of cultivation.
In fact, this is a bit of a hasty move.
Because the practice in Jinguang Temple emphasizes gradual progress, understanding the profound principles of practice too early may not be a good thing for oneself, and may even easily lead to obstacles in knowledge and understanding.
Fa Yue didn't know why his master did this.
"Is it to entrust your funeral affairs?"
Not to the point.
Fayue still had another hidden worry, which was that since yesterday, Yankong did not allow anyone to approach his meditation room.
Fa Yue approached quietly and heard a strange roar.
It doesn't sound like thunder or a dragon's roar, but it gives people a creepy feeling.
It makes people think of extremely terrifying things.
Even the atmosphere of the Zen room, as perceived by his soul, had a bit of the gloomy feeling of the legendary Nine Netherworld.
"If anything happens to your master someday, remember to go find Xu Jieyuan." Fa Yue remembered what Yan Kong had said casually not long ago.
He thought at the time, wasn't this a matter of course?
Should it be here?
After thinking it over for many times, Fa Yue decided to go down the mountain to find Xu Qing, regardless of the fact that Xu Qing was newly married.
After all, if something really happened to his master, Xu Qing was the only one in Jiangning Prefecture who could help.
Although Fayue wanted to be the boss of Jinguang Temple, he didn't want any terrible unexpected situations to happen.
As soon as he thought of this, he rushed down the mountain quickly.
At the moment when Fa Yue went down the mountain, a scarlet light appeared in Yan Kong's Zen room. Not long after, the door of the Zen room broke, and a young, handsome, and evil red-haired man walked out.
