Chapter 450: Magical Pill, Family Development, and Another Son
Chapter 450: The miraculous effect of the magic pill, family development, and another son (8k)
In the reception room.
Fu Changsheng looked at Liu Shuang's receding figure, sneered, muttered something to himself, then got up and went to Liu Meizhen's residence.
Liu Meizhen, who was studying ancient books in the alchemy room, suddenly felt a familiar breath approaching. She looked up and saw Fu Changsheng standing in front of the door, looking at her with a smile.
"Husband!"
Surprise flashed in her eyes. She put down the book in her hand, walked forward quickly, and scanned with her spiritual sense. She found that her husband's aura was deeper than before he went into seclusion. She couldn't help but be surprised:
"Husband, have you made a breakthrough?"
Fu Changsheng nodded: "Peak of Purple Mansion."
"Congratulations, husband. You are one step closer to the golden elixir." Liu Meizhen's eyes sparkled, but soon a hint of anger emerged: "Husband, you are really something. You have been in seclusion for eight years without informing me in advance."
Fu Changsheng smiled apologetically: "I felt something at the time, so I went into seclusion directly."
There was a pause.
He took out a jade box from his storage bag and handed it over:
"By the way, Meizhen, take a look at this."
Liu Meizhen took the jade box and touched the lid with her fingertips, and she sensed an ancient and mysterious aura. She looked slightly serious and slowly opened it -
But there were nine pills lying quietly in the box, with black and yellow colors intertwined all over, and the pill patterns were like dragons and snakes coiling.
"This is..." Liu Meizhen frowned slightly, with doubt in her eyes, "This pill has a strange aura, it's not like an ordinary pill for improving cultivation or healing."
Fu Changsheng nodded: "I have also looked up the classics, but I couldn't confirm its efficacy."
Liu Meizhen pondered for a moment, turned and walked towards the bookshelf, her fingertips quickly swept across the ancient books, pulled out a yellowed "Ancient Alchemy Record", quickly glanced at the table of contents, and suddenly stopped at page 72.
But I saw ancient patterns on the pages.
There is also a line of text comments below.
Fu Changsheng took a closer look and saw the ancient book record:
[Xuanhuang Lingdan, an ancient secret, the elixir is dark yellow, and contains yin and yang energy. It can harmonize the five elements in the body of the cultivator, balance the foundation of Taoism, and make the magic power flow like the cycle of heaven, endlessly.]
Shock flashed in Liu Meizhen's eyes: "This pill can actually harmonize the foundation of Taoism? No wonder the aura is so mysterious!"
Fu Changsheng thought thoughtfully: "In other words, it does not directly improve the cultivation level, but makes the cultivator's mana flow more smoothly and reduces bottlenecks?"
Liu Meizhen nodded:
"Not only that, if a cultivator's practice is stagnant due to conflicts in their cultivation techniques or an unstable foundation, this pill can help them restore their balance, and even... it may allow some special physiques to break through the shackles!"
She looked up at Fu Changsheng, her eyes full of excitement:
"My husband, this pill may be of great use to you! Although the Qingdi Changsheng Jue is powerful, if it can be perfectly matched with other skills in your body, your combat power will definitely be raised to a higher level!"
Fu Changsheng's main practice was "The Green Emperor's Longevity Secret", his body practice method was "The Nine Heavens Star Secret", he also practiced "The Ancient Source Thunder Sutra", "The Great Evolution Secret", "The Nine Turns of the Rising Sun", "The Sky Thunder Shadow Sword Classic", "The Imperial Court Dao Body", and "The Taixu Talisman Sutra".
The practice is too complicated.
It took him forty years to break through to the peak of Purple Mansion.
One reason is that he has opened up more than a hundred acupoints than others, and the true essence contained in it is almost dozens of times more than that of ordinary purple palaces.
Second, as he practiced various techniques, they had different subtle influences on each other, which also caused his practice to slow down to a certain extent.
Third, he originally had three spiritual roots and his aptitude was average.
If this Xuanhuang Lingdan can really restore the balance, it will undoubtedly solve a big problem for him!
As for the second effect of the Xuanhuang Lingdan, it is to allow certain special physiques to break through the shackles. If this is true, it would be great, because he is not the only one in the clan who possesses a special spiritual body.
Think about it.
Fu Changsheng was somewhat excited, muttering in his heart:
"This Shanhezhen Clan Cauldron is really a good thing!"
If the Xuanhuang Lingdan can be produced continuously in the Hualong Pool in the future, their Fu family will be promoted to a fifth-grade Jindan family in no time!
Simultaneously.
Regarding the third function of the Shanhezhen Clan Ding.
He couldn't help but look forward to it even more.
Fu Changsheng smiled and said, "It seems that we have really found a treasure this time."
Liu Meizhen was also quite excited and closed the ancient book, saying solemnly:
"However, the method of taking this pill is quite special. It needs to be taken at a specific time and under the guidance of a formation. Otherwise, the medicinal effect will not be fully exerted. My husband, I need to study it further to ensure that it is foolproof."
Fu Changsheng nodded with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, my lady."
talking.
My hands and feet started to become naughty.
After all, he had been suppressed for eight years. With such a beautiful woman in front of him, how could he not be moved?
"There is more business to do."
Liu Meizhen pushed him, walked around to the tea table on the opposite side and sat down on the cushion, glared at him, and sealed the elixir.
Only then did he bring up the situation of the fiefdom of Huizhou Prefecture over the past eight years.
She took out a jade slip and tapped it with her fingertips. With a flash of light, a three-dimensional map appeared in the air, showing the entire picture of Huizhou Prefecture.
"My dear, our Huizhou Prefecture has changed a lot in the past eight years."
Liu Meizhen lightly stroked with her fingertips, and the important places on the map lit up one by one:
"First, we need to cultivate the spiritual fields.
According to your plan before retreat, we have newly opened up 300 mu of second-level spiritual farmland on the southern foot of Qingxia Mountain Range. Now it can produce Qingyuan spiritual rice stably, and can increase the income of spiritual stones by more than 20,000 per year. "
"Brother Yi has also discovered a vein of black iron in Huiyang County. Now, the fine iron produced every three years can be used to forge fifty sets of second-level battle armor."
She flipped her wrist and the map changed, showing a three-dimensional image of Huizhou City.
The city walls were high and the streets were crisscrossed, nearly doubling in size compared to eight years ago. The most eye-catching thing was the seven-story jade pavilion in the center of the city, with bronze bells hanging from the eaves shining brightly under the spiritual light.
Fu Changsheng's eyes fell on the eastern part of the sand table, where there was a new building complex:
"Madam, this is..."
"Danxia Academy."
Liu Meizhen raised the corner of her mouth slightly:
"This is the blueprint I got in the Kunlun Secret Realm. It took thirty formation masters five years to build it. There are currently eight hundred students, and thirty-seven of them have passed the second-level talisman master assessment."
Although the Fu family has some involvement in all kinds of cultivation arts.
But obviously.
But he is definitely the best in alchemy.
This is of course inseparable from Liu Meizhen’s efforts over the years.
Fu Changsheng felt a little ashamed.
He was busy practicing.
Although he is a blood talisman spirit, he has very little time to make talismans, let alone develop and expand the talisman-making hall. Fortunately, Fu Changlei is in charge and guiding him.
"Husband, the biggest change in these eight years is here."
Liu Meizhen lightly stroked the sand table with her fingertips, and a dazzling lightning suddenly lit up in the southwest corner of the sand table, revealing a swampy area covered by purple thunderclouds. At the edge of the thunder lake, the outline of a new city was clearly visible:
"We built Huiping County thirty miles outside the Lei Ze restricted area according to the plan you made before your retreat."
Fu Changsheng's eyes fixed.
The sand table clearly showed that the new city was in a hexagonal layout, with the city walls cast with lightning-struck wood mixed with black iron, and the surface was covered with lightning-proof array patterns. In the center of the city stood nine lightning-attracting pillars, forming a huge protective barrier.
"Has Lei Ze's violent spiritual energy been resolved?"
"Thanks to Chang Lei's contribution of the 'Heavenly Gang Lightning Array Diagram'." Liu Meizhen's eyes flashed with relief. "After the formation was completed, it not only neutralized the destructive power overflowing from the Lei Ze, but also converted some of the thunder into spiritual energy. Now the concentration of spiritual energy in Huiping County is 30% higher than that in the newly built Huiyang County."
She turned her wrist, and the sand table showed the scene inside the city:
The streets are distributed radially, and the buildings on both sides are uniformly built with Qingxuan stone. The most eye-catching is the "Thunder Yuan Hall" in the north of the city, which is made of purple jade. There are three constantly rotating thunder beads suspended on the top of the hall.
"The Thunder Yuan Palace can produce 20 Thunder Spirit Pearls every year." Liu Meizhen took out an account book, "Last year, this income alone was equal to the income of three spiritual medicine gardens."
This was an unexpected surprise.
Liu Meizhen then talked about the general situation of the clan members.
Eight years.
Several more Purple Mansions were added to the clan, including Fu Yongqing and his soon-to-be-married Liu Shuang.
...
Fu Changsheng tapped the table with his knuckles and changed the subject:
"Meizhen, has there been any movement from Xuanxiao Sect recently?"
Liu Meizhen's expression became serious when she heard this:
"Ever since the battle eight years ago, Xuanxiao Sect lost more than ten Purple Mansions and more than half of its disciples were killed or injured. They have been secluded in their mountain retreat. However, our spies in the far west have sent back news that the 'Tianxu Secret Realm' is about to open. According to their rules, a 'sect competition' must be held before the secret realm opens, and the winner can choose the exploration area first."
There was a sharp flash in her eyes:
"Although the Xuan Xiao Sect has been badly wounded, they will never miss this opportunity. If they want to turn things around, they must participate in the competition! While they are at a loss, we can march our troops westward and take down the Xuan Xiao Sect in one fell swoop."
Fu Changsheng had the same idea.
According to the rewards from the Great Zhou court, they only need to conquer another foreign force in Zifu to be promoted to a sixth-rank family.
By then.
As the head of a sixth-rank aristocratic family, he can not only travel freely throughout the Great Zhou, but also be granted entry into the Great Zhou Sutra Hall once.
This is all secondary.
The real power is that the Fu family has more cultivation resources and development opportunities.
Fu Changsheng's eyes were cold:
"Although the Xuan Xiao Sect has been badly wounded, the Xuan Xiao Sect leader is treacherous and cunning, and the sect has been around for thousands of years, so they have a strong foundation. Even if they participate in the sect competition, they may have a backup plan. To be cautious, Mei Zhen, you should continue to send people to keep an eye on them and don't miss any of their moves. If you can get into the Xuan Xiao Sect, that would be great."
but.
Before they want to replicate it, it would be difficult to take down the Tianlang Tribe without losing a single soldier. After all, the Xuanxiao Sect has the powerful Huanxi Sect as its support. Unlike the Tianyin Tribe, the Huanxi Sect is now at its peak.
Master Yun and he have an irreconcilable feud.
and so.
When attacking Xuanxiao Sect, one must be extremely cautious.
He didn't want to cause any damage to the Fu family because of this, as that would be like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.
Liu Meizhen naturally understood the reason and nodded:
"Don't worry, my husband. The sentries outside the Chiming Mountains have not been withdrawn. They send back news every three days. In addition, we have placed three spies in Qingxi Town near the Xuanxiao Sect's mountain gate, disguised as independent cultivators, specifically to spy on their movements."
Fu Changsheng nodded slightly, then took out a jade token and handed it to Liu Meizhen:
"The sect competition is coming up soon. If Xuan Xiao Sect wants to participate, they will definitely gather their best troops and prepare resources in advance. If they dare to split up their forces, they will be exposed. Mei Zhen, you send a message to the Shadow Guards to send two more teams to keep a close eye on the exchanges between Xuan Xiao Sect and Huan Xi Sect. If you find that they are secretly colluding, report back immediately."
...
Let’s talk about Fu Yongqing’s wedding three days later.
Liu Meizhen said:
"Yu's sister is also in the fiefdom, husband, she can attend the wedding tomorrow. I just have to go to Jingzhou. There are some things in Sangyuan that I need to deal with personally."
This is because we don't want to embarrass each other.
Fu Changsheng stared at Liu Meizhen's autumn-water eyes, and an indescribable gratitude surged in his heart. He gently held her hand and whispered:
"Meizhen, thank you for your hard work over the years."
"My husband, you are too kind. Husband and wife are one."
Fu Changsheng's heart was warmed, and he suddenly pulled her into his arms. Liu Meizhen screamed, and before she could react, she felt a strong and gentle true energy flowing into her body from behind. She immediately understood what her husband was going to do, and two red clouds flew up on her cheeks.
"Husband, it's still daytime."
She protested softly but didn't really struggle.
Fu Changsheng chuckled: "You and I are Taoist companions, why should we care about these things?"
talking.
With a light tap of his fingertips, an isolation formation suddenly rose up around the alchemy room.
He practiced the "Royal Court Dao Body", and a faint golden halo appeared around his body. This technique can not only strengthen the body, but also harmonize yin and yang, which is very beneficial for dual cultivation. He had not practiced it for more than ten years, and now he practiced it more easily than before.
Liu Meizhen felt the surging vitality in her husband's body and knew that he wanted to make up for the debts he owed her over the years. She no longer refused, but took the initiative to guide the true energy in her body to respond to him. The two true energies flowed between their meridians, gradually forming a perfect cycle.
Fu Changsheng was surprised to find that Liu Meizhen's cultivation had improved a lot. Her true essence was pure and long, with the unique gentle aura of alchemy practitioners, which could perfectly blend with his own strong true essence.
"Meizhen, your cultivation..."
Liu Meizhen smiled sweetly: "I went into the Kunlun Secret Realm, and I didn't return empty-handed."
talking.
Started to focus on customers.
The two people's auras blended, and Fu Changsheng felt an unprecedented sense of comfort throughout his body. He carefully controlled the power of the "Royal Court Dao Body" for fear of hurting his Taoist partner. But Liu Meizhen seemed to have sensed something and whispered, "Husband, don't worry, I can bear it."
Encouraged, Fu Changsheng no longer held back.
The golden light of the Royal Court Dao Body grew stronger and stronger, completely covering the two of them. In this golden light, their true essence circulated at an astonishing speed, and each time it went through a cycle, it condensed a little.
Liu Meizhen's body suddenly trembled.
She clearly felt that there was a special vitality contained in her husband's true essence, which was slowly being injected into her dantian.
This is the power that gives birth to life!
"Husband, you..." She opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Fu Changsheng looked at her tenderly: "I'm sorry for wronging you over the years."
talking.
He activated the most mysterious "Creation and Vitality" in "The Imperial Court Dao Body" and transferred a wisp of original essence into Liu Meizhen's body.
Liu Meizhen suddenly felt a warmth in her lower abdomen, which was a sign that life was growing.
In the blink of an eye, it was Fu Yongqing's wedding day.
The Fu family's entire residence was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, red silk was spread on the floor, magical birds were flying, and immortal music was playing. The entire Fu family's immortal residence was shrouded in a festive and auspicious atmosphere. Although the marriage was hasty, there were still many guests, all of whom were well-known figures in the Wuzhou cultivation world.
Liu Shuang stood in front of the bronze mirror while her maids were dressing her.
The person in the mirror has eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like cold stars, and a little cinnabar on her lips, which makes her skin as white as jade. The pearls on the phoenix crown flow with a faint spiritual charm, and the gold thread embroidery on the wedding dress is the Fu family's secret body protection rune, and each stitch contains a majestic spiritual power.
"Mrs. Jiu Shao is so beautiful." The maid beside her exclaimed in a low voice.
Liu Shuang's fingertips gently stroked the cuff of her wedding dress, where a silver needle as thin as a hair was hidden. The tip of the needle was tempered with the "Nirvana Powder" personally refined by her master, Master Jingyue. It was colorless and odorless, and even a Jindan Zhenren would find it difficult to detect.
"The auspicious time has arrived—" the host's voice pierced the sky.
She took a deep breath and slowly stood up. The maids supported her and walked towards the main hall step by step. With every step, her heart beat faster. Outside the hall, fairy music was playing, and spiritual birds were circling. The guests were whispering about the new bride who was about to take over the Fu family.
“I heard that although Lin Hanyan was born as a casual cultivator, he has a very high talent and has entered the Purple Palace at a young age…”
"Master Fu Jiu is deeply in love with her, and even Chief Fu has agreed. This shows that this girl is extraordinary..." Liu Shuang's ears were buzzing, and these words were like needles, making her more and more uneasy.
Fu Yongqing had been waiting outside, wearing a bright red wedding gown, with handsome features and eyes full of passionate affection. He held her hand, his palm warm, but it made Liu Shuang's fingertips tremble slightly.
"Don't be nervous." He laughed softly, his fingertips gently stroking the back of her hand, "I'll take care of everything from now on."
Liu Shuang forced a smile, but her eyes passed him and looked at Fu Changsheng on the high seat.
Fu Changsheng was wearing a white Taoist robe, spotless, with a cinnabar spot between his eyebrows, and a smile on his lips, but it was hard to tell the depth of his smile. His eyes swept over her, and Liu Shuang felt a chill on her spine, as if she was penetrated by some invisible force.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
She bowed slowly, and the moment her forehead touched the ground, the old and resolute face of her master, Master Jingyue, flashed through her mind: "Shuang'er, I want you to disguise yourself as a casual cultivator and get close to Fu Changsheng, gain his trust, and then wait for an opportunity to kill him!"
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
She raised her head and met Fu Changsheng's deep eyes. There was a smile on his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes, instead, there was a hint of scrutiny.
"Couple greetings!"
"Send her to the bridal chamber!!"
The red candles flickered and the warm tent was lowered.
Liu Shuang sat upright on the bed, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the gold embroidery on her wedding dress. Outside the window, the noise of the guests gradually faded away, leaving only the rustling sound of the night wind blowing through the bamboo. She took a deep breath, her heart beating like a drum, and a thin layer of sweat on her palms.
After tomorrow, she might have to fight against Fu Yongqing with swords, and there would be no more friendship between them.
...
"Squeak-"
The door was gently pushed open, and Fu Yongqing walked in with a slight smell of alcohol. He was smiling, and the candlelight was reflected in his eyes, gentle and passionate.
"Shuang'er." He called softly, his voice low and gentle.
Liu Shuang raised her eyes and met his gaze, her heart trembling. She had never thought that she would develop such an inseparable feeling for him in these eight years.
"Husband..." she said softly, her voice trembling slightly.
Fu Yongqing approached, and gently stroked her cheek with his slender fingers. His fingertips were warm and had a faint aroma of wine. He chuckled, "Why, are you nervous?"
Liu Shuang did not answer, but just lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
Fu Yongqing leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid."
Before he finished speaking, he had already held her in his arms.
Liu Shuang closed her eyes and let his breath envelop her. His kiss was gentle and lingering, a little intoxicated, but extremely cherished. Her heart was bitter, and her fingertips tightly grasped his collar, as if she could keep something like this.
"Shuang'er..." Fu Yongqing murmured her name.
Liu Shuang did not resist, but took the initiative to cater to him. She knew she shouldn't do this, but at this moment, she just wanted to indulge herself.
After tomorrow, she might never have the chance to be so close to him again.
She wanted to remember his temperature, his breath, and every bit of his tenderness.
I want more... to keep his bloodline.
"Husband..." She said with a hint of pleading in her voice.
Fu Yongqing's eyes darkened.
The red candles flickered and the warm tent swayed gently.
Liu Shuang hugged him tightly, her eyes slightly moist.
She knew she shouldn't do this, but at this moment, she just wanted to indulge herself.
Even after tomorrow, they will be enemies.
Even though...she will eventually destroy it all with her own hands.
But at least tonight, she hoped she could have his child.
At least... they can leave some traces of themselves.
According to Fu family rules.
On the second day, the bride must go to the ancestral hall to worship her ancestors and offer tea to the clan leader to change her words.
The ancestral hall is filled with the scent of sandalwood, the tablets of ancestors from past generations are solemnly arranged, and the spirit lamps are always lit.
Liu Shuang, wearing a bright red wedding dress, followed Fu Yongqing and walked in slowly. Her fingertips trembled slightly, and the silver needle in her sleeve that was tempered with "Silence Powder" had been warmed by her, but she still couldn't make up her mind.
Fu Changsheng sat in the main seat, wearing a plain white Taoist robe, with cinnabar between his eyebrows like blood, and a smile on his lips, but it was hard to tell the depth of his smile. His eyes swept over Liu Shuang lightly, as if he was smiling but not smiling.
"When a new bride enters the house, she must first pay respect to the ancestors, and then pay respect to the clan leader." The master of ceremonies sang loudly.
"Pray to the ancestors——"
Liu Shuang knelt on the mat, clasped her hands together, and rested her forehead on the ground. She should have been calm, but at this moment, her mind kept replaying the night she had been with Fu Yongqing, and his gentle whispers.
"Shuang'er, I'll take care of everything from now on."
Her fingertips trembled slightly, and she felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart.
"Tea -"
The maid brought a celadon teacup, the tea soup was clear and filled with a faint spiritual mist. Liu Shuang took the teacup and walked slowly towards Fu Changsheng.
This is her last chance.
With just a flick of the fingertips, the silver needle will fall silently into the tea. It is colorless and tasteless, and even a Jindan Zhenren would find it difficult to detect.
But just as she was about to move, Fu Yongqing suddenly turned his head and smiled at her, his eyes full of tenderness and trust.
——In the end, she failed to do it.
"Master... I'm sorry..."
In the end, she failed to do it.
The teacup was handed to Fu Changsheng. He raised the corners of his lips slightly, looked at her meaningfully, and then drank it all in one gulp.
"Good tea."
Liu Shuang felt a chill in her heart.
She failed.
After eight years of undercover career, he failed because of a single mistake.
"Yongqing, go to the front hall to entertain the guests first." Fu Changsheng suddenly spoke, his tone gentle but unquestionable.
Although Fu Yongqing was a little confused, he still responded respectfully. Before leaving, he gently squeezed Liu Shuang's hand and whispered, "I'll wait for you outside."
After he left, only Liu Shuang and Fu Changsheng were left in the ancestral hall.
"Lin Hanyan...or should I call you Liu Shuang?" Fu Changsheng suddenly spoke, his voice was soft, but it sounded like thunder in Liu Shuang's ears.
She froze, looked up suddenly, eyes full of disbelief.
Fu Changsheng chuckled, his fingertips gently stroking the edge of the teacup: "Do you think I don't know that you were sent by Master Jingyue?"
Liu Shuang's fingertips felt cold, and the silver needle in her sleeve almost pierced her palm.
"You..." Her voice trembled slightly, "You knew it a long time ago?"
Fu Changsheng didn't answer, but slowly stood up, walked in front of her, and looked down at her.
"You had the chance to kill me just now," he whispered, "but you gave up."
Liu Shuang bit her lip, a trace of struggle flashing in her eyes.
"I..." She closed her eyes and finally said dejectedly, "I can't do it."
Fu Changsheng smiled, but that smile was creepy.
"Very good." He slowly raised his hand and gently touched her heart with his fingertips. "Since you have chosen 'love', I will grant your wish."
Liu Shuang only felt a chill in her heart, as if something had penetrated into her flesh and blood, silently melting into her blood.
She lowered her head and saw a faint pink line appearing on her chest, spreading like a spider web and then quickly disappearing.
"What...is this?" Her voice trembled.
Fu Changsheng withdrew his hand and the smile on his lips deepened.
"The Heart Gu." He said calmly, "The child Gu has been planted in your heart. From now on, your every move will be under my control."
Liu Shuang's pupils suddenly shrank, and the records of "The True Explanation of Gu Dao" flashed through her mind -
The host of the insect must not harbor any malicious intent, otherwise it will selectively bite you.
She raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of fear: "You...you want to control me?"
Fu Changsheng chuckled: "No, I just want to make sure you don't do anything stupid again."
"You can only be loyal to the Fu family in this life."
"otherwise--"
He pinched it lightly with his fingertips, and the mother insect let out a sharp hiss.
Liu Shuang suddenly covered her chest with her hands. The severe pain came over her like a tide, as if thousands of tiny needles were piercing her heart, and she almost fell to her knees.
"How does it taste when the Gu chooses to eat your heart?" Fu Changsheng looked down at her with no mercy in his eyes.
Liu Shuang was sweating profusely, with a trace of blood flowing from her lips.
She finally understood—
She has long been a bird in a cage, with nowhere to escape.
"From now on, you are still the ninth young master's wife of the Fu family." Fu Changsheng took back the mother Gu, his voice as gentle as before, "As long as you behave yourself, the Tongxin Gu will not attack."
"otherwise--"
"Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The sandalwood incense is curling and the candlelight is dim.
Liu Shuang knelt on the ground, cold sweat soaking the back of her wedding dress. The lines where the Zi Gu was dormant on her chest were still aching, reminding her that from now on, her life no longer belonged to her.
Fu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, his white Taoist robe gleaming coldly in the dim candlelight. He lowered his eyes and looked at Liu Shuang, a smile on his lips, but without any warmth.
"Have you thought about it?" His voice was gentle but irresistible.
Liu Shuang slowly stood up, her fingertips firmly pressed into her palms. She raised her eyes, and there was no fear in them, only determination.
"I can be loyal to the Fu family." Her voice was hoarse, "but there is one condition."
Fu Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh?"
"Don't tell Yongqing...my identity." Her voice trembled slightly, "I don't want him to know that his wife...was an undercover agent who wanted to kill him."
Fu Changsheng stared at her for a moment, and suddenly chuckled: "Deep love and loyalty are rare."
He stroked the mother insect with his fingertips, and the pink ball of flesh squirmed slightly in his palm, and the tentacles swayed gently.
"Okay, I promise you." He said calmly, "But you also need to show sincerity."
Liu Shuang closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were filled with coldness and silence.
"What do you want to know?"
Fu Changsheng's eyes deepened slightly: "Everything about Qiuyue Temple - the terrain, restrictions, and interpersonal relationships."
Rui Ge'er was abducted by the people of Qiuyue Temple and there has been no news for decades. He promised Yunfeng that he would bring Rui Ge'er back to her safely.
Also.
Molan entered Qiuyue Temple to carry out the mission of Zhenshisi and disappeared without a trace.
One of the two pieces of information he exchanged for was that Liu Shuang was a spy from Qiuyue Temple. The reason why he did not act immediately was because he wanted Liu Shuang to become his own.
Ask her to help him enter Qiuyue Temple to save people.
Liu Shuang took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Qiuyue Temple is located on the top of the 'Cliff of Broken Love'. There are 'Seven Emotions Bewilderment Arrays' around it. Outsiders who step in will be trapped by the seven emotions and six desires. At the very least, they will lose their minds, and at the worst, their souls will be scattered."
She tapped the ground with her fingertips, and as her spiritual power flowed, an illusory topographic map slowly emerged.
"There are three halls in the nunnery - the 'Forget Love Hall', the 'Absolute Love Hall', and the 'Wuqing Hall'." Her voice was calm, as if she was talking about a place that had nothing to do with her. "The Forget Love Hall is where the outer disciples practice, the Absolute Love Hall is where the core disciples live, and the Wuqing Hall..."
She paused, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.
"The Wuqing Palace is the residence of the Purple Mansion elders. As for the Jindan Zhenren Cave, it is located in the back mountain and no one can enter."
Fu Changsheng's eyes flickered: "Where are the prisoners usually held?"
Liu Shuang shook her head: "I'm not sure. But if he is a Great Zhou cultivator, he is most likely in the dungeon of the Jueqing Palace."
She lightly stroked with her fingertips, and a dark room mark appeared on the topographic map.
"The dungeon has a 'Soul Locking Ban'. When a monk enters, his spiritual power is completely sealed, making him no different from an ordinary person."
Fu Changsheng sneered: "You Qiuyue Temple are very cautious."
Liu Shuang was silent for a moment, and then continued: "Qiuyue Temple's disciples are divided into three categories - outer disciples practice the 'Forget Love Art', core disciples practice the 'Absolute Love Curse', and personal disciples..."
Her voice was hoarse: "I am practicing the 'ruthless way'."
Fu Changsheng narrowed his eyes: "Which one are you?"
Liu Shuang raised her eyes and looked at him: "I was once your direct disciple."
The air suddenly became stagnant.
Fu Changsheng suddenly smiled, his smile was cold and grim: "No wonder Master Jingyue sent you to kill me - a direct disciple is indeed extraordinary."
Liu Shuang did not respond, but continued: "Qiuyue Temple seems to be at peace with the world, but in fact it is secretly colluding with the 'Happy Sect'. The Happy Sect is good at the art of collecting and replenishing. After Qiuyue Temple disciples practice the 'Wuqing Dao', they often practice dual cultivation with Happy Sect disciples to cut off their emotional ties and strengthen their Dao heart."
Fu Changsheng's eyes darkened: "Is the Great Zhou cultivator abducted..."
Liu Shuang shook her head: "No. If the person captured is a member of a noble family, the elders in the sect will definitely keep him as a bargaining chip and will not deal with him easily."
She paused and lowered her voice a bit: "However, if they are sent to the Joy Sect, it will be hard to say."
Fu Changsheng tapped the table with his fingertips, his eyes deep.
