Chiwuxing

Chapter [-] - Wangfeng hopes that the shaman is bewitched, and the shaman begs Fu Yan to reveal his secrets

The barbarian palace hall is magnificent, since Fu Xuan left, no one has been seen in the main hall of the royal family's main palace for a long time.At this time, more than a dozen people stood bowed in the middle, not young, but showing a little recklessness because of fear, each with their heads down, not daring to look up.

"What are you all doing with your heads down?" Fu Zan snorted coldly, "Could it be that you are also acting cowardly in front of that old man Qiu Wen?"

The two people standing in front raised their eyes slightly, and one of them mumbled, "Before the priest, don't dare to offend."

"If you don't dare to offend, raise your heads up!" Fu Yan said in a cold tone, "I'll put my ugly words up front. If you don't want to listen to me, go back now and do whatever you want. I'm not forcing you Come, when my father asked about it, if you said that I arrested you, you would just be making a fuss... The few people present were all skilled Gu makers in the clan, and I guess ordinary people would also fall into it. If you don't want Qiu to hear about the eyes of those old guys, then I don't need to say more about what the consequences will be."

"Don't worry, my lord priest," the people below quickly expressed their loyalty, "We all volunteered to do things for you, and we dare not disagree."

Fu Zan smiled sarcastically, and said: "Don't worry, I see that some of you are familiar faces, presumably they not only worked under Elder Qiu Wen, but also have a very close relationship with my father..."

Among the few people below, there was someone who was stagnant, but did not dare to stand up.

Fu Zhan continued: "Before, who was the one who was entrusted by my father to specialize in the study of 'Unidentified Corpse Gu'?"

Three people stepped out from the crowd, and Fu Yan looked back at their dead eyes, and said coldly: "There is no predestined blessing in fate, and you still insist on using personnel to change your luck, going against the sky. You guys, You don't even know the most basic principles of divination, so you dare to use witchcraft to trick you, seek wealth and kill yourself?"

The three of them were terrified, and the young man said again: "What to do, Elder Shi Kun has already set an example for you, don't I need to teach you any more?"

The three knelt down, and one begged for forgiveness: "My lord, forgive me! What I did before was only to open Zongchang Pavilion according to the Lord's order, and I didn't dare to go beyond the rules, let alone use it to harm people's lives... ..."

"The kind of poison you made is itself harmful. Even if you didn't kill people yourself, it can be regarded as indirectly hurting innocent people," Fu Zhan said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm not discussing with you , Do you still want me to do it? You guys have more face than Elder Shi Kun?"

The three Gu makers looked at each other, already admitting their fate.Each drew their daggers, stabbed sharply in the chest with their backhands, and their bodies fell to the ground in response.

The blood stained the dark purple embroidered patterns on the black clothes, and the person who was still alive just now became three corpses lying in front of him.The blatant demonstration warning in the front made the hearts of those behind tremble a few times, and they were even more afraid to speak.

Fu Yan got up from the throne, glanced at the rest of the people, and said: "Since you guys stay in the hall, I will tell you that Qiu Wen is Qiu Wen, Fu Xuan is Fu Xuan, and I am me. If you are willing to live in peace Listen to me, apart from the secret volumes that cannot be obtained by ordinary Gu makers in the clan, there will be even greater glory in the future."

"We only obey the priest."

Fu Zhan Shi ran up to the few people, raised his legs and stepped over the people on the ground, looked at the expressions of each of them at close range, and said: "You all say that you are so loyal, but I don't believe you. I'm afraid that such words , you talked a lot in front of Qiu Wen in the past."

A few people dare not say anything.

Fu Zhan laughed: "Why don't you use a method that you and I are both familiar with... Since you said you listened to me just now, you should all roll up the sleeves of your right arms now."

How could the Gu makers not know what he was going to do, the messy thoughts that were originally thinking about other thoughts disappeared, and gradually sank into boundless ashes.

Fu Zhan stared at them with ashen face and pulled up his sleeves, sneered secretly, and said: "...This is a Gu seed developed by myself, and it has never been used by others. You are lucky."

The young man took out a hollowed-out patterned vessel in the shape of a silver lock from his pocket, and touched a certain mechanism through the gap, and saw that the patterned vessel, which was not the size of a palm, split from the middle, and the things inside were entangled and wriggled together.It was dark, like gathering ants to eat their hearts, and made all the Gu makers who had lived with witchcraft for half their lives suddenly feel disgusted.

Fu Zan planted it on the arms of those people one after another in order, and said: "Once infected with this Gu, any one of you who has a different intention and secretly colludes with others will die suddenly on the spot without leaving any bones."

Seeing the frozen expression in front of his face, he turned and smiled again: "If you listen to me, you still have that sentence, and there are great benefits waiting for you. There are heavy rewards on top of heavy punishments. If you are stupid people, I presumably won't be supported by Qiu Wen... Do you understand?"

"……Yes."

These few didn't expect that the successor priest, who was moody and volatile, and who was even more temperamental than Fu Xuan, really disappeared the next day.They obeyed his edict and entered the Shoubarbarian Palace. However, several elders in power who were imprisoned at home were still blocked from internal and external communications.

In the southern barbarians, no one knows where this young man who now holds the throne of clan power has gone, but after all the power turmoil in the clan, no one dares to object to his actions.

A few days later, Chi Wuyi, who was selected by the former Yan soldiers and righteous people, suddenly heard a strange letter:

"Report! Go back to the general. A barbarian boy came alone outside the camp, saying that there was an agreement to meet the general."

The man looked up from the table: "What does it look like? Have you seen it among the brothers?"

The soldier recalled: "Looks...looks like a young master who enjoys good fortune and wealth. On the way to report just now, he seemed to meet a brother who said he had seen him before."

"Let him in." Zong Zhengxi said in a low voice, closing the books in his hand.

After a while, the curtain was lifted.A young man in white clothes appeared, and he spoke to him first: "Just now when I came, I was stopped by some soldiers outside the camp. I was the only one without a knife or gun. They dared to threaten with knives, so they took some. The newly made gadgets tell them to sleep for a while...don't worry, it won't hurt their lives."

Zongzheng Xi said coldly: "How can I remember that someone said that the life and death of the Yan people had nothing to do with them? Why did you come here in person today and say that you have an appointment with me? How did the agreement come out of thin air? It taught you to speak so boldly, so straight to the point military."

Fu Zan made up his mind to come here, he thought about his speech, and said: "There was no agreement before, isn't this an agreement that I will come to talk to you now?"

"... I have no faith, I have already learned the lesson," Zong Zhengxi said coldly, "How can I make an appointment with you? Within three sentences, I can't get to the point. The outside is full of Yan soldiers who regard barbarians as enemies. Your life , but it cannot be guaranteed.”

Fu Zan retorted: "Since you are willing to let me enter the camp, don't you know that I am trustworthy?"

"One sentence."

"you!"

"A few sentences," the man narrowed his eyes and cut his lips, expressing no emotion, "I advise you to weigh your own weight, I am not unfamiliar with the tricks of your barbarians. I don't believe it if you have fooled one or two people. , and let you go out safely."

Fu Zan was holding back his breath, but he didn't attack.Knowing that the person in front of him could do anything, he didn't dare to rush forward, took a deep breath, and said after deliberation: "I want to make a deal with you, the bargaining chip is that the barbarian army retreats and surrenders, and we will not disturb the situation again."

"The tone is not small," Zong Zhengxi raised his eyebrows, "What kind of identity do you have to say that, since you are Fu Xuan's son?"

"No, if I were to be a lobbyist for Fu Xuan, why would I seek you? I am a priest of the barbarian tribe, and I have a family who imparted magic spells to me," Fu Yan said, "And now, in the barbarian land, I have power. "

"Oh?" Zong Zhengxi became slightly interested and said, "Then what do you want to change?"

"You wait for the army to retreat, and the future will also be stable and undisturbed, and the battle will end here."

"Nowadays, if you want the barbarian army to surrender and end up easily, I'm afraid it's impossible," Zong Zhengxi turned and said arrogantly, "What's more, you think that if you don't say that, I can't get Fu Xuan to lead the army. Surrender, it's just a matter of time."

"With your thousands of soldiers and horses, fighting against the barbarians, in the end, both sides will suffer, and no benefit will be gained," Fu Zhan said, "What's more, the Hu people are also too busy to take care of themselves, and the people of Old Yan are ready to move. In this situation, It’s just a superficial peace that can be shattered at any moment. Let’s just say that the people in the towns and cities around your current station are not displaced by the war.”

Zong Zhengxi sneered: "Why don't you say this to your father? Since you want to preserve the barbarian land, wouldn't everyone be happy if you just asked him to withdraw his troops?"

"He doesn't give up, he won't let go until he is defeated, so he has to use this method of war to convince him."

"The conditions you gave are too simple, not to mention that your current identity and position are not yet clear enough, even if you really repel the barbarian army, it depends on our strength. Could it be that just relying on your guidance, you will be in vain?" The ground stopped me and others from continuing to attack the south," Zongzheng Xi said, "you went around in a circle, didn't you just use nonsense to prevaricate me?"

Seeing through his intentions, Fu Zhan nodded as expected, at least he could hear some intention of cooperation without categorical rejection: "Then you can talk about your conditions."

"First, the barbarians bowed their heads to the new dynasty and were subject to its control."

Fu Zhan was silent, and Zong Zhengxi glanced at him sarcastically, and said, "Secondly, remove the southern barbarian military power, abolish the barbarian army from now on, and the barbarian clan will no longer raise soldiers."

"Okay," Fu Zhan responded briskly, "What about the third one?"

Zong Zhengxi raised his eyebrows: "Is it really possible to do these two things?"

"nature."

Zong Zhengxi twitched his lips: "According to what I know about Fu Xuan, it would be extremely difficult for him to meet these two conditions."

"At that time, he may not be the one to decide," Fu Yan curled his lips, "What else is there?"

"...You said that you are already a priest of the barbarians?"

"Exactly."

Zong Zhengxi stared at him: "You saw Jia Sheng's injury in the Wuming Mountain, so you know what kind of poisonous Gu he is in?"

"...I know," Fu Yan turned his eyes, but unexpectedly he changed the subject suddenly, and confessed, "The heptaphosphorus in his body has not been raised for a day or two, but I wanted to take a sample back then." Let's delve into it. After all, it is considered the most poisonous thing in the ancient spectrum. There are very few Gu makers in the barbarians who can make such a pure thing. Presumably, the person who poisoned it also spent a lot of time. Get it."

"Is there a solution?" The man asked in a deep voice.

Fu Zhan shook his head: "...If there is a way, why should we keep such a hidden danger in the rescue."

"You savages have made things, but you can't find a way to force poison?"

"Before, Fu Zhaoheng...he secretly hid an ancient book in the clan once when he was a priest of our clan. Before that, the Gu makers in the clan often refined highly poisonous essence Gu and sold it privately to the Yanren...including those who went to battle. You know this. Later, he found a place to hide his ancient scrolls in the ground, and used witchcraft to erase the memories of many Gu makers, and only then did he stop the prevalence of poisonous Gu," Fu Yan said, " He was the one who rescued Jia Sheng back then, and he said there was no way to do it, presumably this Gu happened to be among the highly poisonous and unsolvable forbidden techniques."

Zong Zhengxi narrowed his eyes: "Seven years...is there no way to continue life?"

"Fate is determined by the sky, how can it be continued..."

The man's gaze was as deep as a boundless pool, frozen with ice, and he remained silent for a long time.

Seeing his silence, Fu Yan knew that the matter of life and death was the most annoying, and he couldn't persuade him, so he stood still, and after thinking for a while, he still added: "Perhaps, there is a way for Fu Zhaoheng...but I think Seeing that the chances are not great, if he wants to save someone, he won’t just let go after saving half of it. I watched from the sidelines, and he used all the best medicines for Jia Sheng. If there was a cure, he would have used it long ago. .”

"...What does Fu Zhaoheng have to do with him?" Zong Zhengxi asked with his eyes narrowed.

"I asked him, but he didn't tell me," Fu Yan said, "But I heard from Jia Sheng that he was also in Wuming Mountain when he was young. Maybe there is some old relationship."

"I heard that barbarian priests have the ability to perform divination and divination?"

Fu Yan glanced at him: "Yes, but you don't know that this kind of thing is against the heavens, but the fortune-teller pays for life...it's not easy to do."

"This is the last request." Zong Zhengxi decided.

Fu Yan stared at him for a long time, his eyes flickering, and then said in a fixed voice: "Then you don't need this one, I will explain the trigrams for you, and you just allow me to join the army, okay?"

"I promise you the post of military counselor."

"Deal," Fu Zhan responded with curved lips, "You said it. A gentleman speaks his word, and it's hard to follow 'thousands of troops'."

Zongzheng Xi sneered slightly: "I am not a gentleman, but here, I still have the weight of my words."

"Okay, I believe you," Fu Zhan found a place to sit down on his own, and took off the burden from his waist, obviously he came prepared for today.I saw that he took out a wooden round divination plate from it, and the corners and corners were patterned with the totems of the azimuths corresponding to the prophecies of good and bad in the world. , you intend to ask about Jia Sheng's old relationship with Fu Zhaoheng?"

"good."

The young man lowered his eyes and concentrated, imbued the spirit with the shaman pen on the latitude and longitude of the picture, pricked and rotated in his hand, the red seal on the divination plate deepened, and the black ancient characters appeared.

During half a stick of incense, the motionless young man lowered his head slightly, then opened his eyes, and said to the man on the other side who was also sitting silently waiting: "These two...are related."

Zong Zhengxi also raised his eyes, and in the dark he picked up the steel handle of the wheelchair.The black pupils are deep, and there is a sharp light:

"Go on."

Fu Zhan frowned, also not daring to be careless, and repeated counting with his fingers several times. After the inspection was complete, Fang slowly said: "My mother's blood relative...Jia Sheng's biological mother is Fu Zhaoheng's sister, that is...Xuan Ming Princess?"

He was also taken aback by the answer, and he didn't recover for a long time.In this way, Jia Sheng and him are still close relatives, but the same as the person in front of him...

When Fu Zhan looked at Zong Zhengxi again, the latter had already recovered as usual, but he just lowered his eyes and remained silent, and then listened to him: "Second hexagram, ask Jia Sheng's biological father."

Fu Yan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't know what he was saying: "Why do you always ask about his affairs? I can pay a lot of money for this strategy, why don't you ask about your own life experience... You should be suspicious of this ?”

"Do I need to explain to you?" The man said heavily, as if he was pressing heavily on his shawl.

Fu Zan also didn't want to have any conflicts with him, everything was a definite number, and he was thrown into another calculation in a blink of an eye.

"Qiang people's lineage," said the young man, estimating the position, showing a map of the land in his mind, "Northern...Hu Qiang is related to the Utron tribe, and there is still some Yan people's origin in the trace."

"Can you deduce the age of his father's death?"

Fu Yan concentrated: "...the sign of stripping, the person is dead. As for the others... I don't know that person, unless I use his birth date to calculate it."

Zong Zhengxi lowered his eyes deeply, not knowing what to think, and remained silent.

Fu Yan regained his energy, and said to him: "There is one last one left... You should think about it clearly, it is not right to waste such a good opportunity on one person. Astronomy, geography, the past and the future are all things that can be detected. "

"... Oh?" ​​The man's eyes flashed coldly, and he said slowly, "Then you can calculate the date of Fu Xuan's death."

Fu Zhan raised his head impressively, pursed his lips and said, "Is this... is it too much? No matter how much I hate him, I won't plan to teach him to die."

"According to what you said, life and death are normal things," Zong Zhengxi said calmly, "Things are metabolized, so what does his life and death have anything to do with what you think?"

"...Okay." Fu Zan gritted his teeth.

Zong Zhengxi saw the young man making the same movements again, and after a while, his expression changed, and he raised his eyes.Zong Zhengxi knew that he must have obtained the test result, but he seemed to be speechless, so he took the initiative to ask: "... how?"

Fu Zan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but his throat was still dry and sore:

"……as you wish."

"Stop," Zong Zhengxi called out in time with a calm face, and then said to him, "If you serve in the army, you have to follow the rules of the army. If you violate the prohibition, you will still be punished according to the military law. Yes, it’s all like that.”

"I know that." Fu Zhan said.

"Just knowing is not enough," Zong Zhengxi said in a flat voice, "Your status, I can tolerate you, but those who have great enemies with barbarians in the army can't be guaranteed. I ordered people to set up a single camp next to the commander's tent for you to live in. If I'm by my side, I can keep you safe, but if I don't care about it, soldiers will find fault with you on weekdays... These are common things in the army, you need to have a plan in mind in advance."

Fu Zan snorted coldly: "Are you still afraid that the soldiers under your command will bully others?"

"I'm afraid you're a little kid, and you use barbarian witchcraft against your brothers every now and then. If you miss a big deal, I'll punish you according to the rules," Zong Zhengxi said coldly, "When you're in the army, don't think about it." It means that someone is serving you like a master."

"You just don't understand me," Fu Yan retorted, "Even in the barbaric land, I seldom order other people to do things. It's just a group of bullying old guys in the clan who are used to domineering. I can't help doing that. Not in that habit."

"Not the best," Zongzheng Xi said, "It's a blessing not to be affected by Fu Xuan's habits."

"You always mention him in front of me, but I don't want to hear... Hearing what you say, are you still familiar with him?"

"It's just a defeated general."

"Hey," Fu Yan sneered, and said, "I want to see how he would react if he knew what you said..."

The barbarian is arrogant, even if the young man doesn't want to admit it, he has to hate himself who often shows the same arrogance.The imprint on personality is just like an ugly birthmark, but that imprint can be peeled off, but some things are not optional and cannot be completely removed.

"He never put other people's opinions in his eyes, but just laughed it off."

Fu Zan smiled in response, without saying a word.
