Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

"Princess, tell me what's the matter?" Fakong said, "No one around can hear it."

Xu Miaoru smiled bitterly and said, "It's actually a troublesome matter."

"Oh——?"

"... Hey, I'll just say it directly, no more beating around the bush!" Xu Miaoru stamped her lotus feet.

Fakong nodded, "Princess, just say it directly."

"In fact, the sixteenth princess has a strange disease, so..."

"Princess?"

"The sixteenth princess." Xu Miaoru nodded gently, "She is about the same age as Ningyu, and she has always been weak because of the disease she got from her mother's womb."

Fakong frowned.

If it was the princess, he could still lend a hand, but if it was the princess, he would have to think about it carefully.

The risk is too great.

If it's cured, everything will be fine, you are good, I am good, everyone is happy, and everyone is happy.

But what if it can't be cured?

There are accidents in the world.

He can't guarantee that there will be no accidents when he casts the rejuvenation spell. What if there is really a problem with the cure, or even if it doesn't cure it but kills it?

I couldn't even hide back in the Vajra Temple, so I could only flee to Dayong or Dayun.

"She was weak to begin with, but a while ago, she got a strange disease. Every midnight, her body felt like she was falling into an ice cellar, almost freezing her. She was in great pain, as if she was being tortured in the eighteenth level of hell."

"Alas..." Xu Miaoru sighed, "She was weak to begin with, how could she withstand such torture? If it weren't for the imperial doctors in the palace using natural treasures to increase her long-term energy and protect her heart, I'm afraid she would have died long ago..."

Fakong said, "Isn't she poisoned?"

"No." Xu Miaoru shook her head and said, "The imperial doctors diagnosed that it was because the sixteenth princess practiced martial arts privately."

"Hmm-?"

"The princess secretly entered the secret library of the forbidden palace and read a martial arts secret book. She practiced secretly to strengthen her body, but ended up hurting herself."

"What about abolishing martial arts?"

"It's useless." Xu Miaoru shook her head: "The extraordinary skill she practiced is strange. Even if it is disabled, it will be restored to its original state after one day."

"What if it is disabled again?"

"It was like this originally. It would be disabled as soon as it was restored, but it recovers faster and faster. Now, it is restored as soon as it is disabled, and it has no effect."

"There is such an extraordinary skill..." Fakong smiled and said: "It seems that it is definitely not an ordinary martial arts skill."

"How can the secret treasury in the Forbidden Palace hide an ordinary skill?" Xu Miaoru shook her head: "The emperor loves the sixteenth princess very much. Because she lost her mother when she was young, she has been raised by the queen. The queen treats the sixteenth princess better than Prince Yi. She can be said to be a jewel in the palm of her hand. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to enter the secret treasury of the Forbidden Palace privately."

"If the emperor and the queen love her so much, you must be more cautious." Fakong said.

Before he saves others, he will first think whether it is worth saving.

He is not so enthusiastic about saving people.

The view that has always been held is that everyone has their own destiny. I am just an ordinary person, not a savior. I just need to take care of myself and there is no need to care about others.

"It is necessary to be cautious." Xu Miaoru nodded gently.

According to her understanding of Fakong, she knew that Fakong was not very willing to take action because it would be very troublesome.

He already has the title of Dharma Lord and the plaque written by the emperor. He lives a carefree life. Why bother himself?

After curing the princess, the reward is just to add another layer of honor, to be the Dharma King, and to reward some treasures.

But for Fakong, the difference between the Dharma King and the Dharma Lord is not that big. He is not interested in power and does not like worldly affairs.

"Who entrusted the princess?" Fakong said, "It can't be the prince?"

"...Yes."

"The prince is really..." Fakong said helplessly.

"The Sixteenth Princess has always been very good to the Prince, and the brother and sister have a deep affection, so..." Xu Miaoru said helplessly: "The Prince originally thought that the imperial doctors could solve it, and even the attendants were all masters of medicine, but after a few days, there was still no progress. He really couldn't bear to see his sister suffer that kind of hellish torture, so he thought of you, Master."

The Prince was not welcomed in the palace since he was a child, and it was still the same even after he became a general and returned to the palace. However, the Sixteenth Princess admired and liked him very much. She followed him like a little tail all day long, giving him great warmth, so the brother and sister had a very good relationship.

"The Prince is so concerned that he is confused." Fakong shook his head and said, "Don't think about the tricks in it. The Sixteenth Princess doesn't want to ask me to treat her. This is because the fate is not enough and it can't be forced."

If the Sixteenth Princess really wanted to ask me to treat her illness, why didn't the emperor and the empress send the eunuch?

He didn't believe that the emperor didn't know his rejuvenation spell, and he probably knew it better than anyone else, but he didn't order him to do it.

Is he going to force himself to treat the Sixteenth Princess?

People are dying every moment in the world, some die suddenly and some die of illness. Do I have to save everyone?

I am not a Bodhisattva, and even Buddha cannot save everyone in the world. I can only save those who are destined to be saved.

Like the Sixteenth Princess, it is the so-called lack of fate.

"The prince wants to bring the Sixteenth Princess to the mansion, and then the master will cure her."

"Unnoticed?" Fakong laughed.

"...Yes."

"The prince is really naive sometimes..." Fakong said bluntly: "Don't think about the consequences."

This is reckless.

Don't think about whether the emperor will be angry, whether the queen will be angry.

"The prince is like this, too sentimental, and will not care about anything for love." Xu Miaoru said embarrassedly.

She also felt that this matter was too reckless, but the prince was determined to cure the Sixteenth Princess as soon as possible, and couldn't bear to see the Sixteenth Princess suffer again.

"I don't care about my body." Fakong shook his head helplessly.

No wonder he was recalled to Shenjing after becoming a partial general. He was really not a general and would have killed too many people.

Compassion does not lead to troops, and he is not suitable for being a general because he attaches too much importance to love and justice. Once he gets excited, he loses his cool and easily falls into a trap.

I really don’t know how he got all these achievements.

It is probably only by relying on intuition, amazing intuition, that he can survive on the battlefield and achieve repeated military exploits.

"Master...?" Xu Miaoru looked pleading: "Why don't we fulfill the brother-sister relationship for the prince?"

Fakong sighed: "Princess, you are also following the prince's confusion. Please let the prince wake up. If you really want me to take action, then recommend it to the emperor. It depends on the emperor's decision. Don't make rash claims and anger the emperor. He still finds it troublesome. Less?"

"master……"

"...That's all." Fakong shook his head and said, "Take Princess Sixteen to the palace first. I'll see if it can be cured from a distance. If it can be cured, I'll report it to the emperor. If it can't be cured, forget it."

"This way..." Xu Miaoru pondered.

Fakong said: "This matter must be reported to the Emperor Ming first, and then I will take action with the Emperor's permission. Otherwise, after saving the Sixteenth Princess, you will never see me in Shenjing."

The sixteenth princess's condition should not be at a critical stage yet, otherwise, the emperor would definitely seek medical treatment randomly, and he would definitely let himself try.

"Okay." Xu Miaoru gritted her teeth.

Watching Xu Miaoru wander away, Fakong paced on the lotus pond with his hands behind his back, looking towards the direction of the Forbidden Palace.

The outside of the Forbidden Palace was shrouded by an invisible force, like fog and smoke, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.

I really don’t know if these sixteen princesses have gone crazy, or were poisoned, or if they have something to do with the Kunshan Holy Cult.

——

In the evening, the sun sets.

Fakong had just finished eating when Li Ying arrived.

Fakong waved his sleeves.

Xu Qingluo and the others left reluctantly.

There were only Fakong and Li Ying in the yard.

Li Ying pursed her red lips tightly, took out a rosewood box the size of a ring box from her sleeves, placed it on the stone table, and gently pushed it to Fakong.

Fa Kong smiled and shook his head: "I want four."

Li Ying frowned and said dissatisfied: "Isn't two pills enough?"

Fakong shook his head: "Not enough."

"Is it too much?" Li Ying was dissatisfied: "I brought four pills, but I want to increase it to six pills?"

Fakong said: "I originally wanted six, but then I thought about it, we are old friends, so I will suffer a little loss."

"Ha!" Li Ying laughed angrily.

Fakong said calmly: "Who does Young Master Li think of me? Taking advantage of others' misfortune and adding insult to injury? Or going back on my word?"

"Isn't it?"

Fakong said: "If I tell you, I'm sure Young Master Li will feel that four pills are missing and six pills are not enough!"

Li Ying frowned and stared at him.

Fa Kong calmly responds.

"...Okay, four is four!" Li Ying hummed: "This is the last one, there are no more relics."

Fa Kong smiled and nodded.

Li Ying took out another purple box from Luo Xiu, the same size as before, put it on the stone table and pushed it gently.

Two purple boxes side by side.

Fakong has already seen the four relics in the purple box through his mind's eye. They are of different colors, including light yellow, red, dark green, and lavender.

Fa Kong was curious.

The light yellow color of the relic is normal. He has never seen the other three colors, but they definitely look like relics.

"Can we talk now?"

"Well, Master Li, you are going to die in ten days," Fakong replied happily: "What I saw is that you are dead."

Li Ying stared into his eyes.

Fakong smiled and said, "Don't believe it?"

"...Letter." Li Ying said slowly: "By whose hands did I die?"

"A disciple of the Holy Cult of Kunshan has used the Jade Blood Transformation Technique." Fakong said: "You think you can see through the disciples of the Holy Cult of Kunshan, but don't you know that the disciples of the Holy Cult of Kunshan don't just practice one kind of mental method."

Li Ying frowned: "A disciple of Kunshan Holy Cult?"

"The location is in a mountain." Fakong said, "I guess he was lured out of Shenjing."

As he spoke, he suddenly pointed out something.

The index finger touched Li Ying's eyebrow like a sword.

Before Li Ying had time to react, the index finger of Fakong's left hand had already reached between her eyebrows, which were as dark as black. The tentacles were delicate and pliable, like mutton-fat white jade.

This finger uses the newly practiced swordsmanship, which is extremely fast.

Li Ying cursed secretly, and a picture suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

In the picture, she was stepping on a withered yellow bamboo branch with her toes, swaying gently in the wind. A handsome middle-aged man in front of her suddenly exploded with a "bang" and turned into a blood mist that instantly swept over her.

The blood mist ignored her body-protecting aura, and she was covered in blood. She closed her eyes and fell softly. She fell into the bamboo forest with a "bang" and lay motionless among the withered bamboo leaves, dying.

Fakong retracted his index finger and looked at her calmly.

Li Ying slowly opened her eyes.

Fakong smiled: "How does it feel to see yourself die?"

Li Ying's starry eyes flashed and her face was calm.

"If you can determine that he is a disciple of the Kunshan Holy Cult, you will be on guard and you can avoid it with your body skills, but you didn't expect that he is a disciple of the Kunshan Holy Cult, right?" Fakong said.

Li Ying remained silent and shook her head.

Fakong smiled and said, "You recognize this person, right?"

Li Ying looked at him.

Fakong said: "A disciple of Cantian Dao? I didn't expect him to be a disciple of Kunshan Holy Cult, right?"

Li Ying remained silent.

This scene gave her a strong impact.

But she really didn't want to say that she recognized this person. He was her uncle, the uncle who had watched her grow up.

Others might be traitors, but how could Uncle Qian be a traitor!
