Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

"Heating a cold stove..." Ning Zhenzhen nodded gently.

There are great benefits to heating a cold stove.

If she can gain the trust of the third sister and become her confidant, she can gain power, which is the most difficult thing for her now.

Because she is the youngest disciple, she has too little time to practice, and she has not spent enough time with the disciples of the sect to build up feelings.

Compared with the eldest sister who is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has powerful martial arts, the second and third sisters are so majestic that she is not worth mentioning.

Although her goal is only information, she can get some rare information from the disciples of the Jade Butterfly Sect.

But if she can gain greater power, it will be easier to get information, and the information obtained will be richer.

This is a shortcut.

"I originally thought that the eldest sister would be the leader." Ning Zhenzhen said, "The eldest sister really can't be the leader, and it should be the second sister. The third sister is not bad, but she is not better than the second sister, so it shouldn't be her turn."

"Junior sister, you should understand."

"...Yes." Ning Zhenzhen laughed and said, "The elders are still thoughtful, but in this case..."

She shook her head gently.

The eldest sister and the second sister are both very strong, but if either one of them takes the position, the other will be embarrassed, and it may even cause the Jade Butterfly Sect to split.

After all, both of their gangs have many supporters.

So the third sister was made the leader.

The eldest sister and the second sister went from opponents to people who sympathized with each other, resolved their knots, and could not split.

But there is also a disadvantage to this. The third sister's prestige may not be enough, and she may only be able to maintain the status quo and it is difficult to expand.

But this is not a bad thing. Sometimes you can't just expand blindly, and you need to stabilize and accumulate strength.

The trouble now is to resolve the split of the Jade Butterfly Sect. After this step is completed, the rest of the things can be done slowly.

Thinking of this, she inexplicably felt admiration.

As expected of the five elders.

"Brother, is everything okay in Shenjing?" Ning Zhenzhen asked.

Fakong shook his head and told Ning Zhenzhen about the recent events. Ning Zhenzhen frowned.

She didn't expect that she had just left for a few days, and Shenjing was in turmoil and so many things happened.

"Brother, if the Six Paths of the Demon Sect really want to join the Southern Supervisory Department, what should we do?"

"What do you think, Junior Sister?"

"We have to be on guard." Ning Zhenzhen frowned, paced under the moonlight with her hands behind her back, and pondered: "But it's not good to be led by them by the nose... It still depends on the emperor's thoughts and what strategy he wants to adopt against the Demon Sect."

"The emperor will not reuse the Demon Sect at will." Fakong said: "This is the most basic bottom line, but he wants to use them to check and balance our three major sects, but we can really rest assured that our three major sects are still the ones."

Ning Zhenzhen nodded gently.

Indeed.

The emperor still trusts the three major sects, but he is a suspicious person and will not completely trust any sect.

But the Demon Sect Six Paths is even more untrustworthy.

After all, the founding ancestor killed many Demon Sect masters before he finally destroyed the Great Yi Dynasty and founded the Great Qian.

Let alone serving each master, hatred is hatred.

Even though thousands of years have passed, this hatred is still engraved in the bones, and the emperor dare not forget it.

"In the end, you still have to follow your own wishes. If you want to join, join. If you don't want to join, forget it." Fakong said: "Don't force it too much. We three major sects don't have to look at people's eyes, including the emperor."

"Yes." Ning Zhenzhen nodded gently.

The three major sects have always been of the same blood, which is why the emperor is afraid.

If the three major sects have been fighting secretly, the emperor will not let go of the Demon Sect Six Paths and let it develop.

It is still afraid that the three major sects are too united. If they really want to do something together, they need external checks and balances.

Power is the art of balance.

"Master, are we really leaving Shenjing City?" Xu Qingluo asked in surprise while having breakfast in Wangjiang Tower in the early morning.

Faning and Lin Feiyang looked over at the same time.

Zhou Yang, who was eating, also raised his head and widened his eyes.

Zhou Yu whispered, "Brother, why are you leaving Shenjing?"

"Going out for a trip." Fakong smiled and said, "Don't you think you have been staying in Shenjing for too long and it's a bit boring?"

"No." Xu Qingluo smiled and said, "It's good. It's great for everyone to practice martial arts and have fun."

Zhou Yu and Zhou Yang also nodded.

Although the pagoda garden is not big, it gives them endless fun. The three of them practice together, and Chu Ling joins in. They have a lot of fun every day. They don't feel bored at all, but enjoy it.

Fakong shook his head: "Staying in one place all the time will lack sufficient stimulation, which is not good for your martial arts practice."

Changing to a strange environment will make the cerebral cortex more active, thus generating inspiration and more insights.

This is what Fakong experienced in his previous life, and he has a deeper experience in this life, so he needs to change his environment frequently and cannot settle down in one place.

Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is also related to this aspect.

"Master, where are we going?" Xu Qingluo asked curiously.

Seeing Fakong like this, she knew that he had made up his mind and there was no way to dissuade him, so she could only obey.

After all, she is a disciple, who else should she listen to if not the master.

"Go to the Holy Church of Light." Fakong said: "Meet your Uncle Xu, he should be out of retreat now."

"Uncle Xu?" Zhou Yang exclaimed in surprise.

Zhou Yu also smiled.

The two of them immediately thought of the time when Xu Zhijian helped them build their foundation.

Although Xu Zhijian was serious and the methods of building the foundation of the Holy Sect of Light were extremely painful, they could feel the sincerity and compassion beneath his ugly face.

So I am very close to Xu Zhijian.

Fa Kong nodded.

Zhou Yu said softly: "I really miss Senior Brother Xu."

"It would be a good idea to meet Master Xu." Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Master, when should we set off?"

"Leaving today."

"So urgent?" Lin Feiyang said: "Abbott, why don't I go see Lao Xu first and see if he is out of seclusion."

"No need." Fakong shook his head: "It's time to leave seclusion now. Let's just go there. Walking slowly along the way will also open our eyes."

"...Alright." Lin Feiyang agreed.

Fakong looked at Xu Qingluo and the other three, and said calmly: "I won't lead you on this journey. You have to perform Qing Gong on your own, and you need to be prepared. It will be very hard."

"Master, don't worry, we can bear it!"

"Master, don't worry."

"That's good." Fakong smiled and said, "I hope you can still speak so forcefully in three to five days."

At noon, Fa Kong and his group of six people left the south gate of Shenjing and slowly headed south along the official road.

Xu Qingluo had already changed into a white outfit, looking clean and neat. She followed Fakong and said, "Master, let's go like this. How long will it take? Shenjing is far away from the Holy Sect of Light, right?"

"At least thousands of miles away." Lin Feiyang said.

Fakong nodded.

Xu Qingluo said: "How long will it take to walk? Why don't we use Qinggong to hurry up? It will be faster."

Fa Kong nodded.

"Alas..." Xu Qingluo turned around and looked back, somewhat reluctantly.

Fakong smiled.

Lin Feiyang smiled and said: "Xiao Qingluo, we are just going out to visit friends. It's not like we won't come back. What's the regret?"

"I haven't said goodbye to His Highness yet." Xu Qingluo shook her head: "And Sister Li, she didn't say a word and just left without saying a word, which is a bit bad."

Fakong laughed.

Lin Feiyang smiled and said: "That's true. Otherwise, I can send a message for you to say goodbye to them?"

"I don't dare bother you, Uncle Lin." Xu Qingluo smiled sweetly.

It's okay to go to Li Ying's place, but Chu Ling is in the Forbidden Palace. It would be too dangerous for Uncle Lin to go to the Forbidden Palace.

I am not so ignorant.

Lin Feiyang said: "Xiao Qingluo, are you afraid that I will be trapped in the Forbidden Palace? Humph, I'm not afraid to tell you that I am entering and exiting the Forbidden Palace as if there is no one around."

Fakong coughed lightly.

Lin Feiyang hesitated and said helplessly: "Of course, there are some important places that we can't go to."

He was actually not afraid at all.

He is both a great master and possesses the Shadow Mantra. When he was not a great master, he could already come and go from the forbidden palace freely with the Shadow Mantra. Now he is even less afraid.

Others thought that he would be able to defend better after becoming a Grand Master, because Grand Masters have unique magnetic fields and strong induction between each other. Once he appears, they will be sensed.

In fact, he has the Hidden Dragon Pendant, which can converge the Grand Master's magnetic field at critical times, so that it will not be sensed at all.

So entering the Forbidden Palace is really easy.

Fukong's cough reminded him not to tell anyone.

Entering and exiting the Forbidden Palace is originally a taboo matter, how can it be promoted at will.

Even if they are all our own people, we can't say it casually, just in case it gets out accidentally.

Especially Chu Ling.

They have an excellent relationship with Chu Ling, and it is possible that they may have accidentally leaked it while joking, and Chu Ling may have accidentally leaked it to the emperor, which would be a big trouble.

"It's not like we can't see each other again." Fakong said calmly: "Let's act like children again."

"Yes." Xu Qingluo had no choice but to agree.

The six people began to jump to the treetops and began to gallop.

Among the three children, Zhou Yang's cultivation is the weakest, but his Qinggong is already good. He is as light as a feather and as fast as a galloping horse. He can run more than ten miles in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Fakong shook his head.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" A sweet voice called from behind.

Xu Qingluo suddenly stopped, turned around and looked over, overjoyed: "It's Your Highness!"

As soon as she finished speaking, there were already several small black dots in the distance, and they came closer in the blink of an eye, bringing with them a strong wind.

Chu Ling arrived in the wind, her hair disheveled, and there were four middle-aged men in the distance behind her.

It's not that they couldn't keep up with Chu Ling, they just kept a distance, which was obviously requested by Chu Ling.

"Your Highness, you are finally here!" Xu Qingluo said happily: "I was about to say goodbye to you, Your Highness!"

"Where are you going? Are you leaving Shenjing and not coming back?" Chu Ling hurriedly asked Xu Qingluo, then looked at Fakong: "Monk, aren't you the abbot of the outer courtyard of Jingang Temple? Why did you abandon the temple and run out on your own? Play?"

"I'm going to visit friends." Fakong smiled and said, "Your Highness, see you when we come back."

"I'm going too," Chu Ling said.

Fakong laughed.

Chu Ling frowned and said dissatisfied: "Why are you laughing? I really want to go with you."

"Does the Emperor agree?"

"Whether Father agrees or not, I will go with you." Chu Ling hummed: "This is interesting. Staying in the palace is boring, and staying in Shenjing is equally boring!"

Fakong glanced at the four middle-aged men in the distance behind her.

They tithe and say nothing.

"...Then let's go." Fakong said slowly.
