One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 268: Zhaixing Tower captures the wind into thousands of homes

Zhao Fuyun later found Liang Jidao and taught him the 'Red Flame Divine Fire Talisman'.

All the guilt that Zhao Fuyun felt towards Liang Daozi in the past, he slowly returned it to Liang Jidao.

The world is a web of grudges, love and hatred that entangles you and me.

True Man Feng Lei, one of the three most veteran Jindan monks in Tiandu Mountain, was once unrivaled and suppressed the world for hundreds of years.

But not many people have seen him, and those who know him now all know that he does not have much time left.

Once upon a time, he looked down upon the mundane world, and there were few people in the world who could catch his eye. But now, he felt that even a Foundation Establishment disciple or a Xuan Guang disciple seemed to be saying something in their eyes after knowing his name.

I want to see how you die.

I want to see what method you use to prolong your life when you come to the capital.

Therefore, since coming to the capital, he has rarely shown up and has been living in the Zhaixing Tower.

His main duties were to protect the imperial palace and reorganize the Jingque Palace.

Now the Jingque Dao Palace has gone through the initial turmoil, but his own problems have not been resolved.

He came out of the mountain to fight for a chance of survival and to transform into an infant through the golden elixir.

According to the agreement, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has the "Book of Imperial Qi and Fate" which can be used to prolong life. This book is only known to a limited number of people outside, and it is said to be at the level of a "true scripture". However, in the eyes of Master Feng Lei, this "Book of Imperial Qi and Fate" cannot even be called a treasure book, but at most it can be regarded as a jade secret. However, it does have some mysterious aspects.

He knew a lot of ways to prolong life, but to him, those ways to prolong life were more harmful than beneficial. The disadvantages of studying the "Imperial Qi Heming Book" were also great, but the benefits were also great.

If he repairs this, his own destiny will be linked with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

His life span will be greatly extended, but he also knows that what the Great Zhou royal family really wants is not him, but the leader, Master Meixian, who once fought with Master Xiyi.

But later on, Master Meixian did not follow the footsteps of Master Xiyi and fell into the realm.

The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty knew that Master Meixian was also in the state of lifespan exhaustion, and might even turn into a demon. Therefore, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty once proposed to suppress the resentment in Master Meixian's heart through the method of Fengshan.

This tied Master Meixian to the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

Moreover, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty also stated that this Fengshan ceremony would be extremely grand, and would be as grand as the sacrifice to the God of Red Flame in the past.

The people of the Great Zhou royal family had not met Master Meixian, so the current deputy mountain master, Master Feng Hong, rejected him.

He replied to the people of the Great Zhou royal family that as a disciple of Tiandu Mountain, one should practice with an open mind, live happily and die cleanly.

Master Feng Lei once had the same idea, but as he slowly faced death and felt his lifespan decreasing day by day, he seemed to see the shadow of death already at his feet.

His mentality has changed.

However, he wanted the Great Zhou royal family to confer the title of Fengshan upon him, but the Great Zhou royal family felt that he was not qualified and were unwilling to do so. They were only willing to give him the "Imperial Qi He Ming Shu".

However, he always felt that there seemed to be opportunities in the world, but he didn't know where the opportunities were, and he could never grasp that mysterious feeling.

So, he was stargazing again.

The Star-Picking Tower is certainly not for picking stars. In the eyes of many people, only immortals can pick stars.

Therefore, Zhaixing Tower is likened to the place where immortals live.

At this time, on the high terrace of the Zhaixing Tower, Master Fenglei was wearing a purple robe with black and white patterns intertwined on the chest and back of the robe.

His hair and beard were already gray. His hair was tied up into a Taoist bun, and he wore a purple crown with a purple hairpin inserted in it.

His beard was like his hair, somewhat stiff, obviously trimmed, and could be held in one hand, neat and thick.

Master Feng Lei has always been a person who pays attention to his image. In his opinion, as a person of status, he should be more dignified, so he always appears solemn and solemn in front of others or in private. This is also the pride he has developed during his years of practice.

During this time of cultivation, most of my peers have been left behind by me or have passed away.

When he was young, he never thought that he would be in his current situation. He didn't want to die at this time, so at this time, he came here.

Especially when he heard that two younger generations in Tiandu Mountain had broken through to the Purple Mansion and reached the Golden Core, he recalled his own age when he formed the Golden Core and found that he was not as good as them.

Xun Lanyin, Ma Sanhu.

He has already formed a golden elixir at such a young age, and is comparable to the group of talented monks a thousand years ago.

Is it true that a new era is about to begin?

When Feng Lei thought of this, he naturally became more unwilling. He felt that if he lived a little longer, he would be able to participate in the new era that was about to begin, and he would definitely have a chance.

Of course, there is a secret in his heart that he has not told anyone.

"Brother, the people of the Red Flame Divine Sect have sent an invitation, inviting you to attend the ceremony of their headmaster Yang Sui Yanhua."

The person who spoke was Xu Shiqin.

The Xu family’s roots are not in the capital, but he had always been dependent on Master Feng Lei, so when Master Feng Lei was about to come out of seclusion, he naturally followed.

In addition, many people from the Thunder Academy who followed him were arranged to teach in the Jingque Taoist Palace.

Of course, these monks who came out of Tiandu Mountain have never lacked people to support them when they enter the capital. Compared with those who practiced asceticism on Tiandu Mountain, they naturally enjoy more worldly wealth.

"Who sent it?" asked Master Feng Lei.

"Qiyun Mountain, Danfeng Temple, and the Jinyang Grand Festival where the Taoist master is in the Jingque Taoist Palace." Xu Shiyin said.

Master Feng Lei was in a bad mood. He suddenly felt disgusted with this tradition of the Red Flame Sect. It was obvious that he was going to die, so he should be sad. It was a painful thing in itself, the separation of loved ones between life and death, and the end of the life of the deceased.

But the Red Flame Cult insisted on holding some kind of celebration.

"I won't go. You go for me." Master Feng Lei said. He knew Yang Sui, and Yang Sui was younger than him. He himself was also nearing the end of his life, so he didn't need to go.

One of the main reasons why Yang Sui died before him despite being nearly a hundred years younger than him was that the magic of the Red Flame Cult violated the taboo of "the solitary yang cannot live long". Since he had formed a golden elixir, his life span was shorter than others. Moreover, long-term visualization of the "Red Flame" could easily cause burns to the Red Flame, which was both mentally and physically damaging.

"There is one more thing. I heard that in the palace, Concubine Xiao Shu spent a lot of money to invite the abbot of Luoxian Temple to calculate the truth behind the death of the forty-third prince. I heard that traces of fire appeared on the Luotian Mirror of the abbot of Luoxian Temple." Xu Shiqin said.

"The forty-third prince's body was charred black, so of course he was burned to death. Moreover, those who were chasing the murderer went towards Yan Yun. What's the point of calculating this now?" said Master Feng Lei.

"But, the abbot of Luoxian Temple gave a comment. The fire came from the south and fell from the sky, causing a disaster. The abbot of Luoxian Temple said that the forty-third prince was caught in the disaster." Xu Shiqin narrated what he had heard.

Over the years, he has made many friends in the capital. With his outstanding cultivation and the reputation of Tiandu Mountain, he naturally attracted many children of princes and nobles to become his disciples. He never refused them and through accepting disciples, he established a network of relationships in the capital.

Master Feng Lei was silent.

He knew that some members of the royal family had doubted the Red Flame Sect. After all, apart from the people of the Red Flame Sect, no one else could wield such a domineering flame.

However, some of the people supported by the royal family were originally from the Red Flame Divine Sect, and in the end, nothing happened.

"The fact that Concubine Xiao Shu was able to invite the abbot of Luoxian Temple must have been due to the help of the Xiao family behind her." Master Feng Lei analyzed slowly.

"The Xiao family is a prominent family in the world. Their daughters have been sent to the palace as concubines from generation to generation. The family is wealthy and supports many cultivators. If they have any connection with Luoxian Temple, it will be disadvantageous to us. Senior brother, I always feel that the calculations of Luoxian Temple are targeting us." Xu Shiqin said.

Master Feng Lei did not speak, so Xu Shiqin continued.

"The fire comes from the south. I think the word 'south' refers to our Tiandu Mountain. Our Tiandu Mountain is in the south. After all, the place further south is the Qianshan Kingdom, which is the southern wilderness and the night sky. There are few people who practice fire magic there. And the sentence 'comes from the sky', the word 'sky' refers to Tiandu Mountain."

“Also, over the years, many people have said that we at Tiandu Mountain intend to create a great catastrophe in order to help our disciples overcome the human tribulation. That’s why Xun Lanyin and Ma Sanhu were able to enter the Golden Core realm at such a young age. If Yu Chenguang is included, then in a short period of time, there will be three disciples from Tiandu Mountain who will overcome the tribulation and enter the realm of breakthrough.” When Xu Shiqin said this, deep thought appeared in his eyes.

He came down from Tiandu Mountain. He had never heard of such a plan, nor had he heard of any man-made disasters to overcome them.

But he also knew that in the entire Tiandu Mountain, the mysterious deputy headmaster had met Master Xiyi, and no one could tell what secret skills he had learned.

Moreover, he also knew that Senior Brother Feng was in charge of Tiandu Mountain. There were so many secrets on Tiandu Mountain. Now thinking about it, he actually felt that it might be true. He couldn't help but look at Master Feng Lei, his eyes full of inquiry.

He felt that, as a Jindan cultivator, Master Feng Lei must know more than he did.

"Junior Brother Feng doesn't like to talk much or explain things when he does things." Master Feng Lei also fell into deep thought, recalling the conversation he had with Master Feng Hong when he left the mountain.

Among those conversations, there was one sentence: "…The capital is the source of all disasters. It will be extremely difficult for you to escape from it. But if you must go, I allow you to take away those who are willing to go with you, so that you can have a chance there."

Master Feng Hong was much younger than him, but after reaching the Golden Core Stage, he felt that he could not see through his master and his disciple.

"Last time, Junior Brother Feng invited Yang Sui to come out of the mountain, which was an initiative to create a dispute with the Red Flame Sect. This time, he will definitely send people to Mount Qiyun to watch the ceremony. You go and see who Junior Brother Feng sent, and see if you can find out anything from him." Master Feng Lei said.

"Then, what about Concubine Xiao Shufei?" Xu Shiqin asked.

"We are in the center of the storm, there is no need to be afraid of so much." Master Feng Lei's voice was not loud, but very firm.

Xu Shiqin felt more confident.

Before he entered the capital, he had a special attitude towards the cultivators in the world, as if he was in a high position.

However, after entering the capital, he found out that there were many noble families here who had unique secret techniques, which surprised him.

Moreover, he had met the abbot of Luoxian Temple once. Under the abbot's eyes, he felt as if he was not wearing any clothes. The Dharma in his body seemed to be frozen, and he could hardly even think.

That was the first and only time he met the abbot of Luoxian Temple. After that, he never wanted to see him again and tried his best to avoid seeing him.

The abbot of Luoxian Temple also stays in the temple all year round and never comes out.

He even had a thought in his mind that the abbot of Luoxian Temple might not be a Jindan cultivator.

"Senior brother, could it be that the abbot of Luoxian Temple has already reached the infant transformation stage?" Xu Shiqin said.

Master Feng Lei remained silent and did not answer.

He had doubts in his heart as well. Although he knew very well that when the golden elixir transformed into an infant, the calamity of the heaven would cause the golden elixir to change, but as a golden elixir cultivator in Tiandu Mountain, he also knew that there were ways to cover it up.

He had never seen the abbot of Luoxian Temple.

Looking at the direction of Luoxian Temple from the Zhaixing Tower, the place was shrouded in clouds and mist. He had always been cautious and had not used his Dharma Eyes to see it. Now that Xu Shiqin asked him this, he couldn't help but have some thoughts in his mind.

"I have been so cautious since I came to this capital. Am I just going to wait like this to spend the rest of my life?"

"Since you are about to die, why do you have to be so cautious?"

However, he did not use his own eyes to see, because he did not have the eyes to see through the delusion. All his magic spells were extremely lethal and were used to fight with others. His eyes could cast wind and thunder, which would definitely be able to blow away the fog.

But it will become a provocation and will trigger a war in an instant.

He wanted to test the strength of the master of Luoxian Temple, but for a moment, he couldn't think of any good way.

"No hurry, no hurry." Master Feng Lei said twice in his heart.

After Xu Shiqin stepped back, he looked at the stars in the sky and suddenly understood why Junior Brother Feng liked to look at the stars so much.

At this moment, he was only thinking, how nice it would be if he could be as eternal as the stars.

A wisp of wind passed by from afar, it penetrated into the capital, penetrated into thousands of households, blew the flames of the lights in every household, blew the door curtains, blew the young girls' hair, and blew up the smoke from the chimneys.

Landed in front of Master Feng Lei.

He suddenly stretched out his hand into the void and caught a wisp of wind in his hand.

He gathered the wind in his palms with both hands, and then put them in front of his mouth. His mouth moved as if he was whispering something. Finally, he blew a breath and then let go of his hands.

Let the wind blow and return to this capital city.

This gust of wind blew away from the Star-Picking Tower, scattered into the dark night under the starry sky, and blew into thousands of homes.
