"Then how did Daoist Qing Zheng learn about the Book of Fantasy Maiden's Six Rens and why did he want to destroy it?"
There were too many suspicious points about Daoist Qing Zheng, but what people cared about the most was his identity. Why did he have such a strong obsession with the Book of Fairy Woman's Six Rens? In order to destroy it, he didn't hesitate to put his two disciples in danger.
They were both disciples, but Yu Shu knew almost nothing about Taoist Qing Zheng. They had been together for less than three months, but Yun Hua was different. He and Qing Zheng had been together day and night, and they were like father and son. He must know more than she did.
"Didn't master tell you about his origin?" Yun Hua did not answer Xue Rui's question directly, but asked Yu Shu.
"No." Yu Shu keenly heard some clues from Yun Hua's tone, so she tentatively said, "I think he must have an extraordinary origin. Senior brother, can you tell me about it?"
Yun Hua shook his head and said, "If you have the chance to meet master again, you can ask him in person."
This was a disguised rejection. Yu Shu was unwilling, but she also knew that she could not pry anything out of Yun Hua's mouth, so she secretly kicked Xue Rui with the tip of her foot. When it came to a battle of intelligence, the main force should be on the field.
Xue Rui understood and immediately said, "You are not willing to say, but we can guess. To be able to get access to the secrets of the Book of Fantasy Women, if he was not a high official in the Celestial Commissioner, he must be a member of the royal family. Taoist Qing Zheng can teach such an outstanding disciple like you, so he must be the former. I heard Shu describe that Taoist Qing Zheng is at least eighty years old, but he has sharp ears and eyes, and he is still strong in old age. It is impossible for such an immortal-like person to be unknown in the past. According to his age, it reminds me of a person. "
Yu Shu listened attentively and almost blurted out, "Who is it?" Fortunately, she shut her mouth in time and did not drag Xue Rui down.
"Who?" Yun Hua was quite cooperative.
"Sixty years ago, the famous Qingyang Yizi."
Yun Hua's eyes flickered, but the slight strangeness was caught by Yu Shu. She was happy and continued, "Yes, master claimed to be Taoist Qing Zheng, which is only one word different from Qingyang Yizi. If it is not a coincidence, then he is Qingyang Yizi."
The title of Yi Zi was bestowed by the Emperor of the dynasty. It usually had two characters. The first character was the surname, and the second character was a good metaphor. For example, a hundred years ago, the Xia Jiang Aristocratic Family in the south had the surname Xia, and the Wen Chen Aristocratic Family in the north had the surname Wen.
Qingyang Yizi himself had the surname Qing, which was a rare surname. It was entirely possible that Daoist Qing Zheng and Qingyang Yizi were the same person!
"Haha." Yun Hua suddenly laughed. It sounded like a cough that was squeezed out of his throat. If it were not for the smile on his face, Yu Shu would not have been able to tell that it was a laugh.
"That's what you say," he said, refusing to admit it.
Yu Shu didn't want this kind of ambiguous answer. She got angry and stretched her neck forward. She put her hands on the table and put them in front of his face. She said straightforwardly, "Senior Brother, don't beat around the bush with me. We are now grasshoppers tied on a rope. If something happens, no one can escape. Is it interesting to hide it from us?"
There was a smile in Yun Hua's eyes. She did not move at all. "No matter who my master is, I admit that you are my junior sister. Our goal is to destroy the book, and that is enough. I told you last time that it's not a good thing for young people to be too curious. "
Yu Shu retreated angrily. She snorted in her heart. 'Even if you don't admit it, I know that the old Taoist Qing Zheng is Qingyang Yizi!'
Xue Rui refilled Yun Hua's cup of tea. He no longer cared about the identity of the Taoist Qing Zheng. He changed the topic. "There is something I don't understand. Taoist Qing Zheng asked you to destroy the Book of Fantasy Goddesses, but didn't he teach you how to destroy it? Or did he not know that the Glazed Crystal is an indestructible item, so he didn't tell you? "
He didn't believe that there was really something indestructible in this world. Everything had its weakness. There must be a specific way to destroy it.
Yun Hua stopped smiling and looked deeply at Xue Rui. He felt a little proud, but also a little sad. This was his and Han Ling's child, his flesh and blood that he had been looking forward to for twenty years. In a place that he couldn't see, he had already grown into an outstanding young man. He was smart, bold, and careful. He had inherited all the advantages of the couple.
"Yes, my master did tell me the way to destroy it."
"What?" Yu Shu raised her voice. She was confused by their words. Just now, Yun Hua said that he tried to destroy the Glazed Crystal with fire and knives, but he could not destroy it. Why did he say that he had a way now?
Receiving her questioning gaze, Yun Hua sighed. "It's not as simple as you think. To tell you the truth, to destroy the Book of Fantasy Goddesses, you must use another of the Six Founding Devices."
Yu Shu's thoughts changed rapidly. She went through the six devices in her mind. Xue Rui lowered his head and quickly searched for the few lines of words on the Essentials of Governing a State. The two of them shouted in unison,
"Chun Jun Sword?"
"Chun Jun Sword!"
Yun Hua nodded. "That's right. It's the Chun Jun Sword."
Yu Shu looked at Xue Rui. She saw him moving his fingers on the Glazed Crystal and muttering, "The Finger and Palm of the World is the Book of Fantasy Goddesses. The Big Dipper is the Seven Star Ruler. The Perfect Wisdom is the Tai Qing Cauldron. The Stone Ruyi Scepter is the Stone Ruyi Scepter. The Fuxi Plate that can suppress mountains and rivers is the Chun Jun Sword that can destroy everything. So that's how it is. This is the power of the Six Founding Devices. It's really shocking."
Yu Shu listened attentively, thinking that the Six Founding Tools mentioned in the "Essentials of Governing a Country" had been matched by him one by one. This was also the first time she had heard the names of the Six Founding Tools. She felt her blood rushing to her head, and her heart couldn't help but tremble.
Yun Hua saw that the two of them had lost their composure, but he was not surprised. It was his first time seeing the records on it, and the impact he received was not any weaker than theirs. Thinking back to the time when Emperor Anwu was the proud son of heaven of his generation, he led an army of millions, and he had the Six Founding Devices in his hands. How monstrous was his momentum?
"The origins of the Six Founding Devices are extraordinary, and they cannot be easily determined. Rumor has it that the Chun Jun Sword was buried in the Imperial Mausoleum, along with Empress Ningzhen. Back then, I tried my best, but I still could not sneak into the Imperial Mausoleum. Later, I stole the Book of Mystic Fairy and escaped from the capital. I tried many ways, but I could not destroy it. Only then did I confirm that the Chun Jun Sword was the only one that could be used. However, the Imperial Mausoleum is full of traps. Even though Ah Jin's martial arts were excellent, he was trapped in the Bewitching Array once and almost lost his life. "
Yu Shu thought to herself, Oh my, you are already very awesome to be able to steal one of the Six Founding Devices, but you are still thinking of another one.
"So, we have to get the Chun Jun Sword no matter what." Xue Rui muttered to himself, "The Imperial Mausoleum of Dongshan is indeed heavily guarded. There are thousands of imperial guards guarding the perimeter alone, and they rotate day and night. There are traps everywhere in the mausoleum. If we want to sneak in and escape unscathed, we can only do so if we have the ability to fly. However, there are many people and things to do on the Sacred Ancestor Sacrificial Day every year, so we can give it a try. "
Yun Hua nodded and said, "I think so too. Previously, Ah Jin sneaked into the Imperial Mausoleum during the Divine Ancestor Sacrifice Day, but unfortunately, he did not find anything."
Xue Rui frowned, "There is still half a year before the next ancestral worship. I am afraid that the Emperor is seriously ill and cannot wait to die for Jing Chen. "
Hearing the other son's name, Yun Hua's expression changed, and he said hesitantly, "I predict that the world will be in chaos, and the Lone Star Evil Spirit will rise in the north. I expect that Prince of Dongjing has his own army and will rebel in the future. In order to stabilize the country, he must borrow the Book of Mystic Fairy. Zhu Muzhao is a person who will do anything to achieve his goal. Even if he cannot catch me, he will still take the Tai Bone of Destiny first. "
When the father and son reached the same point, their expressions became serious.
At this moment, Yu Shu weakly interrupted, "Well, I know where the Chun Jun Sword is."
Two pairs of eyes swept over her, and Yu Shu hurriedly confessed, "Jing Chen told me that the Chun Jun Sword is no longer in the Imperial Mausoleum. It is said that many years ago, a rebellious prince appeared in the Da 'an royal family. He broke into the forbidden area of the Imperial Mausoleum on the day of ancestral worship and stole the Chun Jun Sword. Then, the prince ran to the mountain to become a Taoist priest. Before he died, he offered the Chun Jun Sword to his sect. Oh, it is Jing Chen's sect. Not long ago, Jing Chen's junior sister from the same sect brought the Chun Jun Sword to Da Tidian. It seems that the current Emperor promised the leader of the Zhengyi Sect some conditions before they were willing to return the sword to its original owner. So, the Chun Jun Sword should be in the hands of Da Tidian now. "
She glanced at Xue Rui and added, "It's something that happened before you disappeared. I didn't have time to tell you about it before you disappeared. After that, you returned to the capital, and I forgot about this matter at the back of my mind."
In fact, when Jing Chen told her about this matter, she did not take it to heart. Now that she thought about it, she only hated herself for not having foresight. If she had known that the Chun Jun Sword was so useful, she would have snatched it from Shui Yun's hands.
Yun Hua could not help but smile bitterly. "This is the will of the heavens. I got the Book of Fantasy Fairy, but the Chun Jun Sword is in the hands of Zhu Muzhao."
Yu Shu had heard him call Da Tidian by his name more than once. It was not difficult to guess that there must have been a grudge between them in the past. The image of Da Tidian in her mind changed again and again. When she first met him, she was shocked by him. Now, she did not have the slightest good impression of him.
Xue Rui thought about it and said to himself, "Taking the Chun Jun Sword from Da Tidian is much easier than taking risks in the Imperial Mausoleum."
Yu Shu said with a bitter face, "It's not easy. Who knows where Da Tidian hid the sword? What if he secretly sent the sword back to the Imperial Mausoleum?"
Xue Rui's eyes glowed, and he said with certainty, "He won't."
"Why not?"
"Because he wants to use the Chun Jun Sword to lure me to show up." It was Yun Hua who answered her. The father and son obviously had a tacit understanding.
She did not want to admit that her brain was not enough, so she did not continue to ask why. She held her chin and thought for a moment. Her eyes lit up, and she said hurriedly,
"He knew that you weren't dead, so he definitely wouldn't allow them to use Jing Chen's child as a tool. He's your biological grandson, and only by destroying the Book of Mystic Fairy's Six Rens would he be able to end all of this. That's why he deliberately revealed to Jing Chen that the Chunjun Sword was in his hands. It was all for your ears!"
