If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 511: Futile Struggle

Li Jingyu glanced at Master Xuanyin out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing that he was as still as a mountain and his expression was calm, he also forced himself to calm down and said, "Master Chong, I wonder if you understand the cause and effect of Brother He's death?
Do you need me to explain it in detail from beginning to end?"

Chongda frowned and said, "This is the information I heard from ghosts and gods, it is not very accurate. If there is any hidden truth, please let me know, Your Majesty."

When He Xuan died, he suddenly had an idea and calculated the result of "disciple's tragic death", and then asked ghosts and gods for details.

However, the ghosts and gods he summoned were the "local ghosts and gods" of Shangbang, and they did not have a deep understanding of the affairs of Western Shu.

Li Jingyu started talking about the "Seven Arrows Book" and went on to say that in order to avenge He Xuan, Li Rongji even broke the Qingshui River oath between the Li family and Yu Fengxian.

Ugh, Lee Young-gi was really used to death.

"Xuan'er is being reckless. A beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman. You can't get her without her help, but you shouldn't rob her, let alone kill her."

Chongda's aura was not as strong as before, and there was an embarrassment and shame on his face.

He lowered his eyes to avoid the gaze of the earth immortal opposite him, sighed, and said: "Yu Fengxian avenged his friend, which is a righteous act. I admire it.

But would she really want to torture and kill my disciple?
Killing a prostitute in Jiaosifang would only result in a fine or imprisonment in the Qin Dynasty.

The worst punishment was tattooing and sending him to the Great Wall Corps to fight the Huns.

Why would they kill him in the street and behead him? They also took away his soul. I wonder how he would be tortured. "

Xuan Yin Zhenren said: "Daoyou is right, we all think she is going too far.

However, when a person is angry and wants revenge, he certainly does not think of the law.

That Peony girl was Yu Fengxian’s close friend.

In the great nation of China, there are many cases of people drawing their swords and killing people because of an insulting word.

What's more, blood revenge?
It would have been fine if He Xuan had killed Miss Shaoyao, but he also humiliated her to the utmost. Yu Fengxian saw the mottled dirt and scars on the body. Not to mention the main culprit He Xuan, she wanted to kill the prince, who was not even an accomplice, and she did kill him. "

Chongda gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, He Xuan shouldn’t die, but Yu Fengxian has reasons to kill him.

But killing people can only be done with a nod of the head.

His head has been used to offer sacrifice to the dead, and the dead's soul has also calmed down. Shouldn't we let his soul go and let him reincarnate in the underworld?"

"He Xuan's soul," Xuan Yin Zhenren said hesitantly, "I took a quick look that morning, and it seemed that his soul was still there, and it had not been extinguished."

"Where is Xuan'er's soul?" Chongda asked immediately.

"He was sealed in the head by an evil spirit. Yu Fengxian seemed to want him to suffer while witnessing his own end. At that time, many people on the street went to worship Shaoyao and cursed He Xuan."

Master Xuanyin's voice became smaller and smaller, and his eyes avoided Chongda's sight.

If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, it would be fine.

When he saw it, he completely ignored it. He even seemed to be in the mood to watch the show and did not try to persuade Yu Fengxian at all.

Now facing Master He Xuan, it is really a bit embarrassing.

Chongda's aura, which had weakened due to his disciple's improper behavior, suddenly became strong again.

The surrounding heaven and earth energy began to riot, causing strong winds to blow through the yard.

“When Yu Fengxian was most angry, she only humiliated He Xuan. There is no reason for Shaoyao to destroy his soul after her resentment has been eliminated.

She acted with discretion. Many people died in the incident in Yingxiang Mansion a few days ago.

Only a few who cultivated Yin Spirits could not control their power and had their souls destroyed. The rest mostly became demons.

If it is an ordinary person, then their soul will be released directly." Xuan Yin Zhenren said again.

Chongda opened his eyes wide, "I destroyed the enemy's soul and you still say I was being measured?
You barbarians from the West are so cruel, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Xuanyin felt uncomfortable.

Although Yu Fengxian was indeed a sand barbarian, he felt that Chongda's "Western barbarians" included them all.

It's like saying "you Western barbarians".

"Fellow Daoist, the warriors and Qi-refining practitioners in our Xiniuhe Continent are not much different from those in the Nanzhanbu Continent."

"So only Yu Fengxian is so cruel? I heard that she is only thirteen years old." Chongda said.

"Alas, he is only thirteen years old, and has only been exposed to immortal martial arts for half a year." Xuan Yin said.

"She is only thirteen years old, but she is so cruel. Who is her master? Does she have any parents or relatives?" Chongda asked.

Xuan Yin was a little surprised. How could Chong Da not know such a well-known thing?

Then he smiled to himself again: Yu Fengxian has become a living "myth and legend" in eastern Shu, but in the great country of China, she is still unknown, and even ghosts and gods don't know much about her.

"Her parents are both dead, and she has almost no relatives. Master, oh, fellow Taoist, have you not even heard of the 'Heaven's Will Gambling Game at the Gate of the Yamen in Tianmen Town'?"

If Chongda really didn't know about the "God's Gamble", Xuanyin would despise him for his ignorance.

"I know about the gamble of God's will." Chongda thought thoughtfully.

What happened in the Xisha region is a trivial matter.

The Jade Emperor lost face, but it became big news that shocked the three realms, and everyone was talking about it behind his back!
"After what happened, who would be willing to take her as a disciple? She is completely self-taught." Xuan Yin said.

"I have sealed a sword energy in He Xuan's body, my sword energy! She is self-taught, can she block that sword energy?" Chongda couldn't believe it.

"She was born with a sword bone." Xuan Yin glanced at Li Jingyu.

Li Jingyu understood and took the initiative to briefly recount Yu Fengxian's deeds and strength.

"Even Yuchan was killed. How did he kill her?"

Chongda was more and more shocked. He didn't know Yu Fengxian, but he had heard of Yu Chan.

In fact, the incident of suppressing ghosts in Guaizi Mountain and accidentally forcing out the demon cicada caused a great sensation in the Qin Dynasty, both in the court and in the underworld.

This means that the Lingshan Buddhist sect has taken action against the Qin Dynasty, which is definitely not a trivial matter.

However, the Qin people only paid attention to Buddhism and the cicada demon, and few people knew about Yu Fengxian.

Chongda was not only one of the six great swordsmen of the Qin Dynasty, he was also a general of the Qin Dynasty. He had read the documents on the demon cicada collected by the court and understood its approximate strength.

Although he took a shortcut, he actually achieved the "Arhat status".

"She has only practiced martial arts for half a year. How could she kill Lingshan Arhat? Such heroes are rare in China."

Xuan Yin said: "For unknown reasons, Yu Chan became possessed and went mad.

After going crazy, Yu Chan’s strength is far weaker than before.

But the 'devil cicada' was indeed killed by Yu Fengxian using thunder magic.

Many people witnessed it with their own eyes at that time. That move was called "At the time of nirvana, all evil will be destroyed."

A 'spiritual sword' shining with lightning was pulled out from his chest. I suspect it is the sword spirit of the Qiao Shi Sword.

With one sword strike, Yu Chan's soul was destroyed, but the monk Mang next to him was unharmed.

That move should target the soul directly, followed by the thunder sword energy."

"Why does it sound a bit like my 'Chongxiao Jianhe'?" Chongda murmured.

Xuan Yin said: "She is very talented and is used to learning from the strengths of many schools. Killing the demon cicada was just the beginning. Later, she defeated the earth immortal Zeng Wendao in public.

She even fought two people at once, defeating Zeng Wendao and suppressing the river god who had practiced Taoism for 800 years. "

Chongda was silent for a while, then said in a hoarse voice: "This girl is extremely talented, if she hadn't died young, she would have definitely become an immortal!
But killing a disciple is like killing a son, and the revenge for killing a son must be avenged. I must find her immediately."

Li Jingyu was excited, this was a better help than Zeng Wendao!

Zeng Wendao was still thinking about repaying a favor first and then taking revenge.

Chongda is stronger and more resolute in his attitude, so he can be relied upon.

He looked expectant and said, "We were looking for her too, but she went into the underground sewer and we haven't heard from her since.

If Master Nyomachi doesn't mind, please come stay at Koou Beppu so we can work together.

I asked the guardian of the River God's Mansion to accompany you into the underground channel of the Black Dragon River."

"Joining forces with you?" Chongda's eyes showed suspicion and vigilance. "What is the prince doing in the Faneng Temple in Tianmen Town today?"

After crossing the Liusha River, he did not go to Tianmen Town, but went directly to Yonghe Palace in Yingxiang Prefecture.

While waiting in Yonghe Palace, he also asked about the whereabouts of the person in charge.

The person in charge of Shudong now is naturally the Prince of Qinghe.

The Prince of Qinghe came from the Faneng Temple in Tianmen Town.

A grand prayer ceremony is being held at Honnō-ji Temple today.

Li Jingyu hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Recently, the people of the two cities spontaneously gathered together to invite the great master to hold a water and land ceremony to pray for Yu Fengxian.

There were more than 100,000 people, including men, women, young and old, ordinary people, as well as many warriors and soldiers.

The Faneng Temple enshrines the Buddha Dipankara, so most of them gather at the Sijing Street where the Faneng Temple is located, as well as the Xianyang Avenue outside. After all, the younger generation has received a secular position as the "Prince of Qinghe County", so he must follow the will of the people and earn some reputation.

So he also went to preside over some of the ceremonies, asking the Buddha to punish "Buddhist scum" like the "Demon Cicada."

If the people only prayed for Yu Fengxian, Li Jingyu would definitely not be there.

The problem is, the reason why the common people prayed for Yu Fengxian was because the demon cicada wanted to destroy his Li family's West Shu, and Yu Fengxian protected the people of East Shu.

Praying for Yu Fengxian is actually indirectly praying for Xishu: Buddha, please have mercy on us and don't send people like "Demon Cicada" and "Pushan" to the east to bring disaster to Xishu.

Li Jingyu thought this was a good opportunity.

The demon cicada wants to take over Western Shu, and behind the demon cicada are Jin Chanzi and Lingshan Buddhism.

It was Jin Chanzi who wanted to destroy Western Shu.

Even more than Yu Fengxian, he wanted to force Buddhism to be more restrained and not harm others (harm his Li family and Western Shu) in a public manner by shouting "Jin Chanzi killed people" and "The Tathagata Buddha behind Jin Chanzi is cruel and ruthless. He wants to destroy Western Shu and kill millions of people in Eastern Shu."

"Those 100,000 people were initiated by the prince?" Chongda narrowed his eyes and asked.

Li Jingyu understood that Chongda was doubting his position.

Participating in a water and land ceremony to pray for Yu Fengxian is clearly an act of getting close to Yu Fengxian.

Now Chongda wants to hunt down Yu Fengxian, and he is actively seeking cooperation. Is he trying to cover for Yu Fengxian?

"The crowd of one hundred thousand is the result of secret suppression by the younger generations. If we leave it alone and allow the people to collude privately, it is possible to organize a large gathering of one million people." Li Jingyu sighed.

"Millions of people" Chongda was shocked and suspicious. "How many people are there in Yingxiang Mansion and Tianmen Town? Isn't Yu Fengxian a sand barbarian? Why are so many people praying for her?"

Li Jingyu explained: "Not only the people in the city, but also the people in the villages and towns outside the city.

Our Heilong River Plain is very rich and densely populated with villages.

Before the Rebellion of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms, there were more than one million people in Yingxiang Prefecture alone.

Yu Fengxian exterminated ghosts in Guaizi Mountain, and benefited everyone in East Shu, more than one million households, and three to four million people.

She also saved countless lives during the fire disaster in Tianmen Town.

Some time ago, when the demons and fairies invaded Xishu, she was the one who stood in front of them.

Moreover, she had a good reputation on weekdays. For example, she rescued the orphan of an honest official who fell into trouble and avenged her friends. Even if they had never received her favor, the people admired her and were willing to join in the fun.

Especially a few days ago, during the battle between gods and fairies in Black Dragon River, her performance was like that of a fairy or god.

Storytellers in restaurants and teahouses have all started writing 'The Legend of Xiao Fengxian', and it is said that they will write eighty chapters! "

Li Jingyu's tone was complicated, and his mood was even more complicated.

Although Yu Fengxian's own deeds are legendary, storytellers dared to write legends for her because the Western Shu court was the first to express its position: Yu Fengxian had merits and was innocent, and the crime was the fault of the deposed crown prince Li Rongji alone.

If he had not expressed his views on behalf of the Li family and the Western Shu court, not only would there not be "Legend of Yu Fengxian", but there would also not be the prayer event of 100,000 people.

At most, people whisper to each other in the streets.

"Yu Fengxian is both loyal and righteous, and she is also very powerful. If she were in the upper land of China, she could become a legend, right?" he asked.

Chong Da said uncertainly: "She is a legend admired by everyone, and my disciple He Xuan is the stepping stone for her to become a legend.

A noble from a prominent state has become a stepping stone for the barbarians, and is even despised and abused by the people of a remote barbarian state, hehehe!"

Xuanyin Zhenren said calmly: "Brother Daoist, you are obsessed. Foreign people yearn for China because China is a prosperous, civilized and ceremonial country.

Yu Fengxian was admired by the people because she inherited the legacy of the sages of the upper country.

If the actions of Brother Dao and his disciple were put in the Qin Dynasty, would the people be in awe and admire them?"

"Humph, you are right, you said it well, I am so ashamed and speechless, goodbye!"

Chongda bowed to Xuanyin with a grim face, turned into a sword light, and disappeared into the southern sky in the blink of an eye.

"Hey, Chongda can help us find Yu Fengxian, why did the immortal drive him away?" Li Jingyu said anxiously.

"People look down on you, but you still rush over and try to please them." Xuan Yin said indifferently.

——I only want the chance to be immortal, I don’t care about my face at all. Anyway, the nobles in the upper state have always been arrogant, and it’s not the first time that they call us “Western barbarians”.

Li Jingyu wanted to say this.

But he was rational and understood that he could not care about his face, but Xuan Yin cared a lot about it.

For an immortal who lives forever, "face" is definitely one of the top three things he cares about most.

A few days later, Li Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief: Chongda did not leave Xishu!
Chongda searched for Yu Fengxian along the Black Dragon River basin, and often used the Taoist technique of "controlling ghosts and driving away gods" to gather information.

With no results, he returned to Yingxiang Mansion and rented a small courtyard, apparently intending to stay there for a long time.

With the tacit approval of Master Xuanyin, Li Jingyu contacted Chongda again and confessed the matter of the ancient Dragon Palace ruins, successfully gaining Chongda's trust.

Then Li Jingyu brought Chongda to the Black Turtle River God's Mansion in Liusha River.

After the greetings, Li Jingyu said directly: "Lord River God, this is the Great Qin's peerless sword fairy insect master.

We are going to enter the underground river to look for the Feather Fairy.

But we are not good at swimming, so we need to borrow a few guards and some 'River God's Palace Guards'."

He thought that he would continue to talk a lot and promise many benefits.

Unexpectedly, the Black Turtle River God only hesitated for a moment, then his eyes flickered and he said, "Since Gu Jianxian and the prince have come to visit me personally, how dare I refuse? There is only one thing, you have to do me a favor after you find Yu Fengxian."

"Did they leave Yu Fengxian to the River God Mansion and let you kill her for revenge?" Li Jingyu glanced at Chongda with a hesitant look.

He only wants his own immortal fate, but Chongda wants to chop off Yu Fengxian's head as a sacrifice to He Xuan.

“No, I have no grudge against Yu Fengxian.” The Black Turtle River God waved his hand and said, “Please help me deal with the Black King Kong who defected from the River God’s Mansion, and all the river monsters under his command.”

Li Jingyu was surprised and asked, "That black fish monster hasn't been killed yet?"

The Black Turtle River God said awkwardly, "We had trapped him, but he suddenly broke through the realm, transformed from a black fish into a dragon, and killed three of my guards. I suspect that Yu Fengxian lied about the secret book of the 'Bachelor's Black Fish Formation'. It was a huge lie that made me seriously misjudge the strength and potential of Black King Kong."

Chongda didn’t quite understand, but Li Jingyu was very puzzled, “Black King Kong must have mastered the Black Fish Sword Technique.

However, Yu Fengxian's "Black Fish Sword Technique" was derived into the "Black Fish Dragon Sword" after the fire disaster.

Black King Kong has not seen Yu Fengxian since he made a bet on fate at the government gate."

The Black Turtle River God said: "The souls of the three guardians have returned, what they said with their own mouths, how could they be wrong?
Yu Fengxian must have lied! That little Shaman is very cunning."

Li Jingyu turned to look at Chongda and said, "Hei Jin Gang is Yu Fengxian's godson, so he can be considered her disciple."

Chongda frowned and said, "It's already this time, and you're still not willing to break up with her?"

Li Jingyu sighed: "What I want is just the immortal fate that I deserve."

To show sincerity and to avoid misunderstandings during the cooperation.

He even told Chongda the details of the comment given by the dog-meat Taoist priest, "making good connections".

Chongda looked at the Black Turtle River God who was looking expectant, and nodded, saying, "I'll go there when I find Yu Fengxian. Is Black King Kong also in the underground water vein? You have to help me find him."

The Black Turtle River God smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course. Not only must we find him, but we must also help the Immortal trap him."

Li Jingyu and Chongda borrowed eight guardians and 1,200 river monsters from the Black Turtle River God of Liusha River.

The nominal purpose is to capture the rebellious Black Kong.

They spread out in the underground waterways, forming a large network, searching everywhere for Yu Fengxian's trace.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed and nothing was achieved.

Even Black King Kong and the Wind Howling Bay Water Monster were not encountered.

I did hear sporadic news about Pushan.

As expected, Pushan failed to catch up with Yu Fengxian that night, but she had not given up yet.

The Lantern Festival is today.

Li Jingyu went back to Yingxiang Mansion. In the morning, he was holding a bowl and scooping a sesame-filled glutinous rice ball with a spoon. Just as he was about to put it into his mouth, he suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest and his head felt a little dizzy.

A strong sense of uneasiness and fear came over me.

"No, my immortal fate, my life root~~~"

He didn't know what happened, but he shouted this sentence subconsciously.

The cry and expression were sad and mournful, and his internal organs seemed to be burning.

"Puchi~~~" The blood rushed back to his brain, and Li Jingyu spat out a mouthful of blood. He became confused, his body swayed, and he fell off the chair.

A moment later, Xuan Yin Zhenren arrived. He only took a look at the bed and his expression changed drastically. "How could this be? Not only is his luck exhausted, but even his fate is——"

Taoist Yunqing of Xianyun Temple could still live for another three to five years even if he shortened his life by trying to spy on the secrets of heaven.

At this time, Li Jingyu's fate was even worse than Taoist Yunqing's, and he might even die before Taoist Yunqing.
