Xuanxia

Chapter 603 We Are All Mortals
Anyue City is only twenty or thirty miles away from Tianshou Village. With Fu Qingzhou's current speed, he can get there in the time it takes to drink a bowl of hot porridge.

When he returned to the refugee camp, as expected, the refugees were gathered in a circle chanting sutras again... And large clouds of smoke floated out of Fatuo's tent, and it was obvious that he was refining medicine. However, the refugees looked at him with eyes full of reverence, and they really thought he was performing a ritual.

Fu Qingzhou found Ning Wushu, who was sitting at the outermost edge, and patted her on the shoulder.

"You're back!"

Ning Wushu's eyes lit up: "How? What did you find?"

“A great discovery.”

Fu Qingzhou smiled at her: "This is what happened..."

He lowered his voice and repeated the reasons why he suddenly followed the soldiers' convoy, his subsequent discoveries, and Lao Wang's confession.

Ning Wushu's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and he couldn't suppress the joy on his face anymore.

"As expected of you."

She praised: "Even if I could think of such details, it would be difficult for me to make a judgment in such a short time!"

"Don't praise me yet." Fu Qingzhou said with a smile: "Right now, I need you, Sister Wushu, to go to Anyue City."

Ning Wushu immediately understood: "You want me to take over the defense of Anyue City?"

"good."

Fu Qingzhou blinked. "The garrison will be transporting the coffins throughout the journey. There must be a spy watching them to ensure that there are no mistakes. Sister Wushu, you need to find the spy and control everyone in Shoucai Manor after Lao Wang delivers the herbs to Santang Shoucai Manor... At the same time, you must ensure that Prefect Yang is also controlled and cannot pass on any information."

Ning Wushu raised his eyebrows: "It's so complicated, aren't you afraid that I will make a mistake?"

"It's complicated, so I came to you."

Fu Qingzhou smiled slyly and said, "This is a difficult matter for me, but for a great general of the Northern Frontier, isn't this a piece of cake?"

Ning Wushu smiled, patted his shoulder, stood up, said nothing more, turned around and left.

At the same time, she raised her hands and tore off the dirty stones on her cheeks in a cool manner!

The bloody and dirty stones fell to the ground, and Ning Wushu's figure passed around a tent outside the refugee camp, and then she disappeared.

"Hiss, it hurts just looking at it."

Fu Qingzhou bared his teeth.

No, sister, this doesn't cure the problem...

It seemed that she was quite dissatisfied that Ning Wushu, who was used to going straight ahead and charging forward, was forced to run undercover and lurk.

When the time came to turn over, she tore off the dirty stone without hesitation... Forget it, we are all practitioners, this minor injury should be nothing to her, I will get the prescription later and talk about curing it.

Fu Qingzhou looked up at Fado's tent and grinned.

Still refining medicine? That's great.

I didn't dare to take direct action before because I was afraid that I didn't have a prescription and couldn't appease the refugees. Now that the prescription is about to be obtained... Isn't it just playing tricks? Who can't do that?

"To be honest, I have also read Huixin's memories. I know much more about the Hundred Evils Sutra than you do."

Fu Qingzhou sneered.

The next moment, his figure disappeared in the crowd.

In Fatu's tent.

He sat in the center of the tent, with an incense burner in front of him, the same one that had been placed in front of the shrine. But now, the ashes in the incense burner had been cleaned out, but not dumped out. Instead, they were carefully packed in a wooden box and placed aside. Obviously, they would have to be put back later.

There was a blazing flame beneath the incense burner, and the medicinal soup in the burner was bubbling. White smoke mixed with a very faint medicinal fragrance filled the entire tent and also spread out along the gaps at the edge of the tent.

There were some other magical instruments scattered around Fatuo, with traces of medicinal materials processed on them. The small box containing medicinal materials next to it was basically empty, with only a few unused medicinal materials left.

The fire under the incense burner burned more and more vigorously, and the medicinal soup in the furnace began to dry up in the fire. The liquid became less and less, but also more and more concentrated.

"There is only one last medicine left..."

Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Fatuo murmured, and carefully took out a few soybean-sized fruits from his sleeve. He counted out five of them, put the rest back, and then flattened the five small fruits above the incense burner.

The small fruit was flattened, and the juice dripped slowly into the furnace. The medicinal soup suddenly boiled wildly as if a boiling iron ball was thrown into it!
The boiling lasted for less than a moment before it completely calmed down. Suddenly, only a thin layer of soup and some black residue remained in the pot.

Upon seeing this, Fatuo smiled with satisfaction, extinguished the flame under the incense burner, then took out the clean bottle and was about to pour the small amount of refined medicine into it.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the tent.

"Ha, it turns out that in addition to the prescription, there is also such a small fruit. Fortunately, I looked at it for a while longer."

Fatuo was shocked and looked up suddenly, but he didn't see anyone.

He didn't even have time to pack up the things in front of him before he started calling for help.

But just as his mouth opened and before any sound came out of his throat, a hand came from behind him and covered his mouth tightly, and at the same time, something cold and sharp pressed against his lower back!

Fatuo widened his eyes and dared not move.

"Tsk, last time you quietly walked up behind me, I even suspected that you were hiding your strength."

The person who suddenly appeared behind him was naturally Fu Qingzhou.

He sneered, "At the moment, it seems that you are just careful enough and your steps are light enough - but unfortunately, I am more careful and light than you. Look, I have been touching you from behind for so long, but you didn't notice it, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Qingzhou felt a surge of power from the other party. It was clear that he wanted to resist. He did not seem to be afraid of the sharp knife against his waist and just wanted to make some noise.

He frowned and was about to twist Fatuo's neck.

But at this moment, the bitter sea lamp bell around his neck suddenly made a "clang" sound and exploded in his mind!
The next moment, a force like a lightning strike suddenly surged into Fu Qingzhou's body, shocking him completely!
Fu Qingzhou was horrified. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to stay awake so as not to be knocked unconscious by this force. But to his surprise, this force was also transmitted to Fatuo!

When Fu Qingzhou's eyes rolled back and smoke came out of his head due to the "electric shock", Fatuo was also shocked to the point of convulsions all over his body and foaming at the mouth.

After a few seconds, the Kuhai Lantern Bell finally stopped. Fu Qingzhou staggered a few times and barely stood still, but Fatuo fell to the ground with a thud.

"I rely on..."

Fu Qingzhou held his head and gritted his teeth, "Is Qi Ranjue trying to deceive me again? Didn't Fatuo want to resist just now?"

"Well……"

At this time, Fatuo on the ground had barely struggled to speak: "Don't, don't kill me... I, I don't want to die..."

Fu Qingzhou: “…”

So, Fado was begging for mercy just now?

So spineless?
"Are you from the Fa generation? A disciple of Yuanzhao?"

After a moment of silence, he whispered, "Oh, I didn't expect you to be so afraid of death... Tell me, when did you join them? You are quite capable, so why do you help them? What conspiracy plans do they have? Also, tell me the prescription you know!"
