Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

Fakong shook his head and sighed.

I had underestimated Li Ying's cultivation before.

Li Ying's cultivation seemed to be that of a master, but there was still a long way to go before she could become a great master, but her real killing power was amazing.

If Ning Zhenzhen fought with Li Ying to the death, she would definitely not be able to stop Li Ying.

Ning Zhenzhen might not have been able to avoid the sword just now.

In the final analysis, Ning Zhenzhen had experienced too little fighting, after all, she was still young.

Li Ying could be said to have really fought her way out of the bloody storm, and I don't know how many chances and lives she had experienced.

This may also be because Cantiandao and Mingyue Temple have different ways of training their disciples. Cantiandao is in the six paths of the Demon Sect, just like the status of Vajra Temple in the Great Snow Mountain Sect, and is famous for its recklessness.

Fakong kept replaying this sword in his mind, groping his bald head, and thinking carefully about how to break it.

This sword is very famous, but unfortunately there is no such sword technique in the Secret Book of the Heavenly Demon, and there is no such powerful sword technique in the martial arts of the Cantian Dao.

That is Li Ying's unique sword technique, which may be the exquisite sword technique she got by chance, which is really not inferior to the sword technique of the Divine Sword Peak.

His sword technique is also exquisite now. Seeing such an exquisite sword technique, he can't help but want to crack it, or absorb it into his own sword technique, just like a calligraphy master who sees other calligraphy and always wants to absorb its essence into himself.

After studying this sword thoroughly, Fakong once again remembered his previous hesitation and made a decision: since Li Ying would kill Xiangju, he didn't have to do it, and killed as few people as possible.

There must be a cause and an effect, and killing people will have the cause and effect of killing people.

At that time, he will directly ask Li Ying about the corpse of Xiangju and cast the Great Light Mantra.

Get her memory and see how she broke through the master's barrier so quickly. Maybe there will be unexpected gains.

He retracted his gaze and paced in the moonlight with his hands behind his back.

His clairvoyance did not stop, and he looked at Ning Zhenzhen, and found that Ning Zhenzhen was standing under the moon, obviously waiting for him.

He flashed and appeared in front of Ning Zhenzhen.

Ning Zhenzhen was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, and a bright moon was shining in the sky. The clear light fell on her, adding a bit of otherworldly air, like a fairy in Guanghan Palace.

"Brother." She smiled lightly, like the first clear day after snow.

Fakong smiled and nodded.

The two came into the house, and the tea was already brewing.

The small red clay stove was bubbling with white steam, and a faint tea fragrance was floating.

Ning Zhenzhen poured two cups of tea, pushed one to Fakong, and whispered: "Brother, I found out."

Fakong was refreshed, opened the lid of the cup and blew air, and looked at her.

Fakong had asked her to ask Miaoyin Shenni about the dispute between the Imperial Observatory and the emperor.

If Ning Zhenzhen hadn't asked about this kind of thing, Miaoyin Shenni would never have said anything. As a divine monk, she was useless in front of Miaoyin Shenni.

Ning Zhenzhen glanced around and lowered her voice: "The Imperial Observatory and the emperor are indeed at odds. It's because when the emperor was fighting for the throne, the head of the Imperial Observatory predicted that he would lose, and told the late emperor that the emperor was the reincarnation of the Greedy Wolf, who was too murderous and unfit to be a king."

"... So the emperor holds a grudge against him?" Fakong was puzzled.

Strange, why would the Imperial Observatory intervene in this matter?

This is obviously beyond the scope of the Imperial Observatory's authority, and their hands are too long.

"This is actually due to the internal struggle of the Imperial Observatory." Ning Zhenzhen said softly: "The old supervisor and the current supervisor are not master and apprentice, but brothers. The old supervisor originally leaned towards the emperor, but later the old supervisor made a big mistake and was deprived of the position of supervisor. The current supervisor was angry with the emperor because of the old supervisor, so he said those words to the late emperor."

"Since the supervisor has offended the emperor, he can still stay in the position of supervisor?"

"The supervisor of the Imperial Observatory is not appointed by the emperor." Ning Zhenzhen shook her head gently and said: "It's amazing, right?"

"Hmm?"

"The position of supervisor is recommended by all the disciples of the Imperial Observatory. They do not depose the current supervisor, and the emperor has no power to abolish the supervisor."

"Is it so?" Fakong was surprised.

"This is also the rule set by Taizu, to ensure that the Imperial Observatory can tell the truth without fear of offending the emperor." Ning Zhenzhen shook her head gently: "This is indeed a very far-sighted rule, but unfortunately..."

Fakong nodded thoughtfully.

The imperial power was weakened as a result. As an emperor, he could not do anything about the supervisor of the Imperial Observatory and could not appoint or dismiss him.

This was indeed very infuriating and aggrieved.

But Fakong had to say that this was indeed a far-sighted decision that required sufficient courage and determination.

Limiting the power in one's own hands was contrary to human nature. The Taizu who could make this decision was indeed admirable.

"The supervisor of the Imperial Observatory asserted that the emperor would fail in his bid for the throne, which was wrong. There was also the advent of Greedy Wolf... This was a bit vicious." Fakong said slowly: "The judgment was wrong. Does this supervisor still have the nerve to continue to be the supervisor?"

The Imperial Observatory was supposed to predict the general trend of the world. If it was wrong, it would damage the authority of the Imperial Observatory. As the supervisor, if the speculation was wrong, most of them would resign.

"This supervisor abdicated and no longer served as the supervisor, but the disciples of the Imperial Observatory still elected him as the supervisor, so he had to respond reluctantly."

"... What is the Imperial Observatory going to do?" Fakong frowned.

They clearly knew that the emperor did not like this supervisor and that he should be removed from the throne after making a mistake, but they pushed him to the position of supervisor.

Isn't this deliberately going against the emperor?

He really couldn't think of a reason why the people in the Imperial Observatory did this.

Ning Zhenzhen shook her head gently: "The people of the Imperial Observatory believe that the emperor's means of seizing the throne are not right and his virtue is not worthy of the position."

"Hmm?"

"There are some secrets in this, and it is not appropriate to say more." Ning Zhenzhen said softly.

Her bright eyes looked around, and her eyes were flowing, and she was amazingly beautiful under the light.

Fakong knew what she meant and was afraid that there were ears on the other side of the wall.

Although he had his eyes, it was impossible for someone to hide it from him, but who knew if there were any strange people in the world who could really hide it from him.

So it was better not to say some things.

Fakong said: "In short, the Imperial Observatory and the emperor are enemies, and they are sworn enemies?"

"It's not that serious, but the emperor does disdain the Imperial Observatory's deductions, but the Imperial Observatory insists on deducing the world's situation once a month and reporting it to the emperor."

"This is their duty and power. If they don't report, there is no need for them to exist."

"That's right."

"It's eye-opening, eye-opening!" Fakong shook his head: "Do they still want to turn over, or do they have other plans?"

This matter sounds very absurd, but since it was said by Miaoyin Shenni, it should be true.

"They seem to have given up on themselves and have given up everything."

"Not necessarily." Fakong shook his head: "The Imperial Observatory is still capable. There may be reasons for the mistakes made in the emperor's case... Some people can really change the will of heaven."

"Like you, senior brother?"

"...Yes." Fakong nodded slowly: "I can do it, but others may not be unable to do it. Don't think that you are the only one in the world."

Ning Zhenzhen nodded slowly.

Fakong said: "Junior sister, you should also take this as a warning. Don't get involved in the struggle for the succession, otherwise, the Imperial Observatory will end up like this."

The Imperial Observatory is so prominent and has a transcendent status. It has always been admired by the world, as if it were a status of a land immortal.

As a result, it was confused and wanted to interfere in the struggle for the succession, which led to its current decline.

Although the Imperial Observatory is strong, the emperor cannot punish it, but once the emperor's attitude is revealed, the ministers will stay away from the Imperial Observatory.

Through isolation, the Imperial Observatory can be said to be deserted by everyone, and then its reputation is naturally damaged, and it gradually declines.

"Since the old supervisor is by the emperor's side and serves as a priest in the Forbidden Palace, can he bear to watch the Imperial Observatory decline?"

"How can the old supervisor have a good face for his fellow disciples who voted him in? He hopes that they will be in trouble."

"But the Imperial Observatory is declining, doesn't he feel bad?"

"I guess he doesn't feel bad, but he hopes that they will be in trouble."

"... Not necessarily." Fakong shook his head.

Prosperity and loss are all prosperity, loss are all loss.

Just like himself and the Vajra Temple.

If he was driven out of the Vajra Temple, he would still help it when he saw the decline or disaster of the Vajra Temple.

Not because of feelings, but to live a better life.

In this world, it is impossible to live without a foundation, and the sect is your foundation and the soil for your life.

Human power is sometimes limited, and the power of one person is weak.

The Imperial Observatory is the root of the old supervisor. How could he be indifferent? He is just waiting for an opportunity or waiting for the disciples of the Imperial Observatory.

None of the disciples of the Imperial Observatory are stupid, they are all geniuses, of course they have seen it clearly, so they have been holding on to see who will give up first.

"Brother, you said you would not get involved in the fight for the throne, but you saved the prince of Yi Wang and the prince of Ying Wang, and you have made friends with Prince Xin, I am afraid you have already got involved, right?"

"Prince Yi and Prince Ying are fighting, I am impartial, as for Prince Xin, do you believe he can win the throne?"

"Prince Xin has offended too many people, I am afraid it won't work."

"So being close to Prince Xin is the most stable."

"Stable? But everyone knows that Prince Xin will soon be unlucky, and will be dismissed from office and become an idle prince."

"That may not be the case." Fakong shook his head.

He has seen it clearly now.

At the beginning, Prince Xin was indeed going to fall, and the ministers were surging, wishing to get rid of him immediately.

But when the Kunshan Holy Church incident happened, the ministers were distracted and forgot about Prince Xin.

Compared to Kunshan Holy Church, Prince Xin didn't seem so hateful. In fact, because he was in charge of the security of the capital, it was better than just replacing a new person, so they stopped staring at him and biting him.

Moreover, with his own support, he really stood firm.

At least it was stable within three months.

Originally it was stable for three months, but because of saving Chu Ling, he changed Prince Xin's life, causing him to worry about his life.

"Because of the Imperial Observatory, the emperor is dismissive of predicting fate, senior brother, you have to be careful."

"Well, I understand, so avoid getting close to the forbidden palace, and stay away from the emperor."

"Master also said that you'd better stay away from the Imperial Observatory."

"Well?" Fakong was thoughtful.

He also felt that the Imperial Observatory was dangerous at the beginning, and his intuition told him to stay away from it. Now Miaoyin Shenni warned him again.

It seems that it is not groundless. Why does the Imperial Observatory want to harm him?

Is it because he has a clairvoyance and can see the future, so it is not good for the Imperial Observatory?

Fakong thought carefully, looking for the intersection between himself and the Imperial Observatory.

"The rest of the master didn't say." Ning Zhenzhen said softly: "But I know that the master will never speak lightly."
