Hulong Villa.
Above the main hall, Zhu Wuwu was sitting quietly on the high platform. However, compared to before, the chair Zhu Wuwu sat on was made of gold and was covered with dragon patterns.
Compared with before, Zhu Wuli's domineering and mighty power was stronger at this time.
Even just sitting on the dragon chair can give people a feeling of calmness and authority.
At this moment, in the main hall, apart from Zhu Wuwu, only Shangguan Haitang stood below.
After Shangguan Haitang reported everything to Zhu Wuwu in an orderly manner, Shangguan Haitang hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Father, who are those guys wearing masks? Why are you stopping Haitang from going to Yushui City to find the Chu Qinghe River? ?”
After listening to Shangguan Haitang's question, Zhu Wuli said, "They are from the Qinglong Society."
"Qinglong Hui?" Shangguan Haitang looked at Zhu Wuwu in surprise: "Didn't you say that the Qinglong Hui disappeared a hundred years ago? Why did it suddenly appear now?"
Zhu Wuwu said in a deep voice: "A hundred years ago, although the Qinglong Society was surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court and masters from several top forces such as Southern Shaolin, Shenjian Villa, and Yuanyuemen, they only lost other branches and some famous people in the world. master."
"In fact, the Qinglong Club is more powerful than everyone thought at the time. When we found the Qinglong Club main altar, it was already empty."
"Since the battle a hundred years ago, the Qinglong Society has disappeared from the world and developed secretly. It was only in recent years that it reappeared. The first thing the Qinglong Society did after reappearing was that in just one day, Eradicate the entire Southern Shaolin."
At the end, Zhu Wuwu paused for a few breaths and then continued: "The emperor's death was also caused by the people of the Qinglong Society."
Shangguan Haitang's expression changed when he learned that the emperor's previous death was actually caused by someone from the Qinglong Society.
"The emperor's death was actually caused by the Qinglong Club. Do they want to rebel?"
Zhu ignored and said in a deep voice: "It's not a rebellion, but a desire to keep the imperial court in their hands."
After a pause, Zhu Wulan said slowly: "The Jianghu is composed of countless sects and warriors, but in fact, no matter it is the Ming Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, Qin and other countries, the imperial court is actually the strongest Jianghu force. There are more masters of the Heavenly Realm in the imperial court than there are top forces in the world, which is why the imperial court can overwhelm all the top forces."
"Therefore, if there is any top power in the world whose reputation or power is enough to influence the imperial court, the imperial court must also step in to change the country. This is part of the emperor's plan."
"Even when necessary, the imperial court will secretly instigate and create some conflicts, allowing some of the top forces in the world to fight with each other, thereby continuously reducing the strength of these top forces and attracting the attention of these top forces, so as not to breed ambition."
"Otherwise, the Song Dynasty is the best example."
Shangguan Haitang asked in confusion: "Great Song Dynasty?"
Noticing Shangguan Haitang's expression, Zhu ignored and said slowly: "Why do you think that the other top forces in the Song Dynasty are gradually losing, but only the Northern Shaolin is still standing?"
Shangguan Haitang said in surprise: "What do you mean by the foster father, that these were all done secretly by Northern Shaolin?"
"That's right!" Zhu Wuyi nodded and said: "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, Northern Shaolin has been the top force in the world. Over the past hundreds of years, many top forces have risen in the Song Dynasty, and there are many warriors among them. In a period of time, there are no fewer Jianghu sects and martial arts masters than our Ming Dynasty."
"But based on a lot of information collected by Hulong Villa over the years, this king peeled off the cocoons and found out that many top forces in the Song Dynasty were defeated, and they all had the shadow of Shaolin. The Northern and Southern Beggar Gangs in the Song Dynasty, although their disciples were thousands of Thousands, but because of the Northern Shaolin slogan of protecting the family and the country, a large number of Beggar Gang disciples died on the border battlefield every year, and the talents withered."
"On the contrary, the Northern Shaolin who shouted this slogan still worships Buddha every day and does not care about worldly affairs."
"Up to now, in the Great Song Dynasty, the masters of the Grand Master Realm have reached the top position without leaving Shaolin."
"For example, the so-called Five Ultimate Skills, Beiqiao Fengnan Murong, are only at the Grand Master level, and no one can shake the status of Northern Shaolin."
After hearing Zhu Wuli's words, Shangguan Haitang said in confusion: "But a country's martial arts are closely related to the strength of its warriors. This move by Northern Shaolin is tantamount to weakening the national power of the Song Dynasty, and Northern Shaolin They are all outsiders who have become monks, why do they do this?"
"Why?" Zhu Wulan sneered and said coldly: "Because of interests."
As he spoke, Zhu Wuwu looked at Shangguan Haitang and said, "In the Song Dynasty, even the most powerful people in the imperial court only had more than 10,000 acres of land in their homes. Do you know how much land is owned by Northern Shaolin?"
Shangguan Haitang shook his head and said, "Haitang doesn't know."
Seeing this, Zhu ignored and said slowly: "At least one million acres."
"Hiss~"
Listening to what Zhu Wuwu said, Shangguan Haitang couldn't help but take a breath, obviously frightened by this number.
In Shangguan Haitang's shock, Zhu ignored and said slowly: "Nowadays, there is only one top force in the Song Dynasty: Northern Shaolin. The court needs to rely on Northern Shaolin, and the status of Northern Shaolin in the world is as stable as Mount Tai."
After listening to what Zhu Wuwu said, Shangguan Haitang suddenly said: "No wonder my adoptive father has always disliked monks. It turns out to be because of this reason."
Zhu Wuying said in a deep voice: "So, it can be seen from the situation in the Song Dynasty that once the imperial court loses control of the Jianghu forces, the final result will be like the Northern Shaolin in the Song Dynasty."
"The Qinglong Society discovered this a hundred years ago, so now they want to take the imperial court into their hands."
"Prior to this, the Blue Dragon Society even sent out solicitations to me, wanting to draw me into the Blue Dragon Society to serve for me and become a puppet of the Blue Dragon Society to control the imperial court."
At this point, Zhu Yiyi changed his words and said: "The Qinglong Society is now coming fiercely. I don't know how many masters there are among them, so the top priority is to find help as soon as possible to deal with the Qinglong Society. Originally, Chu Qinghe had Yao Yue and Jellyfish Yin Ji, if she can pull him over, Yihua Palace and Shenshui Palace can also help, but it’s a pity.”
Shangguan Haitang cupped his hands and said, "It's all my fault for Haitang's incompetence in doing things. Please punish me from my adoptive father."
Zhu Wulan shook his head and said: "I can't blame you. Judging from the current situation, the Qinglong Society is already on guard against this king. Now I just hope that Tianya can persuade Xie Xiaofeng."
Shangguan Haitang responded: "The Langfanyunlang gang leader of the Nujiao Gang entered the early stage of the Celestial Realm a month ago, and together with the three masters of the Celestial Realm in the imperial palace, if we can bring Xie Xiaofeng back, even Qinglong will be afraid of it. It’s also difficult to fight against the imperial court.”
Zhu Wulan shook his head and said: "It's better to be careful. You need to disguise yourself when you travel recently. Be careful that people from the Qinglong Society discover your traces again."
"Haitang understands" Shangguan Haitang nodded in response.
Zhu Wulan nodded and said, "Go down!"
Seeing this, Shangguan Haitang cupped his hands and turned around and walked outside.
A moment later, when Shangguan Haitang left the main hall, a thin figure suddenly walked out from behind a pillar of the main hall.
As he put his hands behind his back, he ignored Xiang Zhu with his slightly gray face.
It was the warrior who planned the assassination against Monk Xuanjian in the Heavenly Realm in Southern Shaolin.
"Ha, you have already reached this point, and you continue to use these words to deceive a person under your command who is in the Xiantian realm. It is really hard for people to understand what the Lord Shen is doing."
Focusing on this person, Zhu Wulan said in a calm voice: "Haitang represents me outside. There are some things that need to be known to others through her mouth. If she can't even deceive the people under her, how can she be deceived?" Qinglonghui?"
Listening to Zhu Wuli's words, a look of ridicule flashed in the man's eyes, and then he said: "With Marquis Shen's scheming behavior, aren't you worried that there will be no trustworthy person around you in the future?"
Zhu Wulan's expression remained unchanged and said: "Trust itself is a double-edged sword. It can bring help, but more harm. Just like you, who was regarded as the most talented person in the Tang Sect, wasn't it because you completely trusted Tang Sect?" Will the sect be expelled from the Tang Sect?"
The man's face darkened slightly as the voice reached his ears.
After a few breaths, the man's hoarse voice said slightly coldly: "I, Tang Jun, will naturally settle matters with Tang Tianqing regarding the Tang Clan."
After his voice fell, Tang Jun changed his words and said: "This time, I am here because the matter you asked me to investigate before has come to fruition."
Hearing this, Zhu Wulan's eyes fell on Tang Jun.
After pondering for a few breaths, Zhu Wuying slowly informed Tang Jun of his situation.
After hearing what Zhu Wuwu said, Tang Jun let out a light sigh.
After a few breaths, Tang Jun said: "There are indeed some poisons in the world that can make a warrior's cultivation fall from the early stage of the Heavenly Realm to the perfection of the Grand Master Realm, but such a situation as you said does not exist, at least in this world. I have never seen in the Poison Book of the Tang Sect this kind of slowly draining the life essence of a warrior in the Heavenly Realm, but it only caused the cultivation level to drop by one level."
Zhu Wuwu frowned and said, "Are you sure?"
Tang Jun narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you doubt my ability to use poison?"
Focusing on Tang Jun, after pondering for a few breaths, Zhu Wuying said in a deep voice: "You have already practiced the "Absorbing Gong Dafa", and you are sure that there is no problem with the "Absorbing Gong Dafa". I am not poisoned, so why does it still appear? A state of decline?"
Tang Jun said lightly: "The human body is complex. Maybe it is not impossible that your body itself has had problems in these years. What I can tell you is that there is no problem with the "Absorbing Power" and you are not poisoned. Anyway, you It’s not like he was poisoned.”
"Now it seems that the root of the problem lies in yourself."
At the end, Tang Jun said: "When it comes to using poison, no one in the world is worthy of comparing with me. If I say you are not poisoned, then you are not poisoned. In my opinion, there should be other problems with your body. It is best for you to Just find someone to show you."
However, just after he finished speaking, Tang Jun looked at Zhu Wuwu as if he had reacted: "No wonder you suddenly sent your men to find the guy named Chu. It turns out you have this plan."
Hearing this, Zhu ignored and did not cover up: "It's a pity that Bai Xiaosheng and the others blocked Shangguan Haitang, and Chu Qinghe has already left Yushui City for the Song Dynasty."
Listening to Zhu Yiyi's words, Tang Jun sneered and said: "Then you'd better think about it earlier. Don't wait until the boy named Chu comes back, and the Qinglong Society will already take action against you."
After saying that, Tang Jun left the hall in a flash.
After Tang Jun left, Zhu Wuwu frowned, thinking about something in his eyes.
Two one.
Great Song Dynasty.
Located in the swampy mountains west of Wangbei Lake.
Towering trees stood tall in the forest, blocking even the slightest bit of sunlight that should have been in the sky at noon.
The entire mountain forest is like a primeval forest, overgrown with weeds, and sometimes you can even see some centipedes or unknown poisonous insects crawling on the ground.
However, in the mountains and forests, there were several figures walking leisurely.
And when a few people took steps, the poisonous insects that were nearly a foot away around them quickly moved away.
It was as if there was something in these people that made these poisonous insects afraid.
Walking in this mountain forest, Lianxing raised his hand to feel the surroundings and couldn't help but wonder: "Why is the temperature in this swampy mountain so much higher than outside?"
Listening to Lianxing's question, Chu Qinghe explained: "This swampy mountain is full of miasma, and the surrounding trees are dense and airtight all year round. This is why the temperature is different from the outside."
After hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Lianxing nodded first, then looked at Chu Qinghe with a smile and said: "Brother-in-law, you know so much."
Hearing this, Chu Qinghe smiled softly and said, "Not bad!"
While speaking, Chu Qinghe flicked his fingers, followed by a burst of energy to the top of his head.
In the eyes of Jellyfish Yinji and Lianxing, a black shadow was instantly shot away.
When they looked closely, they realized that the black shadow was a colorful snake.
Under the creation of heaven and earth, there will always be some unique areas in this world.
Just like in this swampy mountain, the sun does not penetrate all year round, and the cold wind does not penetrate, making this swampy mountain also become a breeding ground for some poisons.
While walking along the way, Chu Qinghe also saw a lot of medicines that were rarely seen in the past.
Sometimes walking and sometimes picking, Chu Qinghe felt like he went to pick mushrooms in the mountains when he was outing with others in his previous life.
Thinking of his current medical skills, Chu Qinghe was sure that if he went to pick mushrooms again, he wouldn't have to stay in the hospital for a few days after eating.
It was also when Chu Qinghe was reminiscing about the memory of almost lying on the bed after eating an umbrella in his previous life, Lianxing asked again: "Brother-in-law, this swampy mountain is so big, can you find the medicinal materials you want by searching this way? Why don't you tell us what the medicinal ingredients look like, and then we can look for them separately, maybe it will be faster?"
In this regard, Chu Qinghe said softly: "Drugs also have some growth habits. As long as you understand these, you can know where such drugs may be. The environment here is good. If you want to find the baby It shouldn’t be difficult to create a skull flower.”
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe's eyes moved around for a moment, and his original walking direction also shifted slightly.
Ten breaths later, at a place of mud, Chu Qinghe's eyes had seen a plant that was gray in color, shaped like an animal skull, and had blood-red roots.
Looking at this plant, Chu Qinghe chuckled.
Then as the true energy circulated, he waved his right hand lightly.
The next second, a special energy gathered from the surroundings and blew toward the baby-headed bone flower.
And when the strong wind blew and shook the baby-headed bone flower, as the baby-headed bone flower swayed, an inch-long blood-red centipede quickly climbed down from the rhizome of the flower and then burrowed into it. Get into the weeds.
After the blood-red centipede left, Chu Qinghe bent his fingers and used his true energy to absorb the baby-headed bone flower directly into his hand.
Seeing Chu Qinghe's movements, the women looked at the thing in Chu Qinghe's hand curiously.
Noticing the smile on the corner of Chu Qinghe's mouth, Jellyfish Yinji asked: "Is this the baby-headed bone flower you just mentioned?"
Chu Qinghe nodded slightly and said: "Yes, this flower is strange. It will only grow in places where miasma is dense and poisonous like this swamp. And once it leaves the place where the miasma is, the medicinal properties will quickly weaken." And change.”
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe gently moved his fingers and used sword energy to separate the buds and rhizomes of the baby-headed bone flower suspended in the air in front of him.
Cutting the deep red rhizomes on both sides respectively, Chu Qinghe raised his hand to cut the flower bones into pieces. After the black lines on the flower bones were separated and thrown aside, Chu Qinghe kneaded the flower bones into a ball with his true energy and dripped a drop of white from it. The juice drips on the stem.
When this drop of juice fell on the blood-red rhizome, the rhizome quickly changed from its original blood-red color at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just five breaths of time, both sections of the stem turned dark red, and the middle one finger position turned light blue.
When he reached into his arms, took out a small medicine bottle, and sprinkled the medicinal powder on the stem, the stem of the Baby Head Bone Flower shriveled up as quickly as if it had dried.
At this point, Chu Qinghe put away the root in front of him.
Seeing how Chu Qinghe dealt with the baby-headed skeletal flower, Lin Shiyin on the side couldn't help but said in astonishment: "It's so troublesome?"
Chu Qinghe nodded and said: "Yes! If that were not the case, there would be no need to make a special trip here."
With that said, Chu Qinghe continued: "Go on! I've come here anyway, so I just want to collect a little more, so as not to have to come back again next time if it's gone."
In this way, Chu Qinghe and the others wandered in the forest for nearly an hour.
During the process, Lianxing looked at Chu Qinghe's handsome profile from the side and felt that her heart almost melted.
What is happiness? When you feel sleepy, you have a pillow, and when you feel hungry, you have good food and wine.
For a face-obsessed person like Lian Xing, the happiest thing is to be able to appreciate Chu Qinghe's flawless face every day, which seems to have grown out of her own aesthetic.
"Brother-in-law, you are really good-looking."
However, perhaps because he was too fascinated by the sight, Lian Xing forgot that next to Chu Qinghe, there was a jellyfish Yin Ji who was as careful as her hair.
