One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 129 128: Lan Hui

When Zhao Fuyun was looking at the bronze ball in his hand, Ma Sanhu said again: "Take this sword talisman to protect yourself."

Zhao Fuyun took the blue talisman paper with a small sword drawn on it.

He felt a surge of sword power that was imprisoned within it.

This is probably what Ma Sanhu gave to save his life, Zhao Fuyun thought.

But if he killed Lan Shaoxun, could he get out of Zhennan Pass alone with this sword talisman?

At this moment, Ma Sanhu turned into a flash of metallic light and drilled into the bronze sphere.

Then, the bronze sphere shrank rapidly, from the size of a human head to the size of a baby's fist. It could be held directly in the palm of the hand and hidden in the arms.

Zhao Fuyun understood that Ma Sanhu was going to go into Zhennan Pass in person to kill people.

At this moment, he could not sense any breath of Ma Sanhu from the bronze sphere, and it was probably certain that he would not be able to sense any external information, so he would need to make his own decision when the time came.

In other words, this assassination will be initiated by myself. If there are any changes in the situation between Guangyuan Prefecture or even the entire Da Zhou and Qianshan Kingdom in the future, it will also be initiated by myself.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, but the temperature did not drop at all. It was hot and humid, and it seemed like it was going to rain heavily.

……

Zhennan Pass is very lively today.

Close the door wide open.

There is an endless stream of cultivators coming from all over Guangyuan Prefecture, and today is definitely a major event for the entire Guangyuan Prefecture.

At the time when Tiandu Mountain was at war with Qianshan Kingdom, the Zhennan Palace actually entered into an alliance with Huqiu of Qianshan Kingdom.

Although the relationship between Qianshan Kingdom and Dazhou Kingdom was not like that between Dazhou and Wujian Ghost Realm, where there was a thousand miles of bloodbath and deep hatred, they were definitely not friendly. They were also hostile and were countries that needed to be guarded against.

The Great Zhou Kingdom has already cooperated with Tiandu Mountain. The King of Zhennan, who was appointed by the Great Zhou Kingdom and guarded the border, actually married into a hostile country.

This was a big event, and those who came to the banquet were all important figures from major families.

The banquet will not start until tomorrow, but everyone has already arrived today. Obviously, they have something to discuss here. They had a secret meeting a few days ago, and now they come here to see what the Lan family of Zhennan Palace is up to.

It was already evening when Zhao Fuyun arrived. He entered Zhennan Pass in the setting sun. The moment he entered the pass, he felt that the void in the pass was filled with a hot and dry air, which was really good for someone like him who practiced fire magic.

He felt that a thought could make the void burn.

If he practiced here, he felt that his "Red Flame Commandment" would be able to be cultivated faster.

Yesterday's conversation with Ma Sanhu broke his silence.

This is the disadvantage of being in the secular world. It is inevitable that you will always be interrupted when practicing the Dharma.

This Zhennan Pass is a huge Taoist temple.

From the moment he entered the city, he saw various statues of the Red Flame God's Dharma body, some carved on the city walls, some painted on the walls. Even the wind chimes hanging on the eaves had the Red Flame God's mantra engraved on them.

When he looked back, he saw many small shrines on the inward side of the city wall. In each shrine was a small statue, and above each statue was lingering the aura of divine flames.

He looked at the side of the city wall facing away from the sun, and could faintly see flames bubbling inside it.

He found that the clothes worn by people inside the Great Wall were mostly red.

However, he also saw that every household had a well, whether in the front yard or the backyard, there was a well, and a red tree was planted in front of every house. As he walked in, he saw many children picking the leaves and eating them directly.

Not only the children would do this, some elderly people sitting in front of the door in twos and threes would also eat a handful of leaves in their hands as snacks. He found the palace, and then he was led in and brought to a small courtyard, which was where he would stay tonight.

That evening, he was invited by his servants to a place where he met two people.

One was Zhu Ke, and the other was someone he didn't know, but Zhu Ke introduced that person as Lan Hui, who originally worked as a temple priest in Guangyuan Prefecture under the pseudonym Yu Hui. After hearing the location of the other person's temple, Zhao Fuyun realized that he was in the temple not far from his home.

If Zhu Ke had a passion like the morning sun, then Lan Hui had a warm feeling, but a word came to his mind - the afterglow of the sun.

Like the sun about to set, there is a feeling that it is about to sink into nothingness.

This is a very handsome young man, but there is a hint of sadness in his eyes.

When Zhu Ke introduced them, he was also looking at Zhao Fuyun and said, "I didn't expect that my father would invite Taoist Zhao to come. It's really surprising."

Even he felt that Zhao Fuyun should not be invited.

Zhao Fuyun smiled and said, "I was also surprised."

Zhu Ke said, "All the surprises in the world are just because people think about things from different perspectives. The reason you feel surprised is that you don't think about the problem from the other person's perspective."

Lan Hui didn't say anything. He just sat there with wine in the glass on the table, but he didn't touch it. Zhu Ke asked Zhao Fuyun to sit down, poured him more wine, and they drank a glass each.

Although Zhao Fuyun doesn't like drinking, he is not incapable of drinking.

The wine tasted warm, mellow and sweet, and he thought it tasted good.

Seeing Lan Hui's silence, Zhao Fuyun wanted to know what he was thinking, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Lan, you're getting married tomorrow, why are you so depressed today?"

Lan Hui looked up at Zhao Fuyun and said apologetically, "Master Zhao, I'm sorry. Please forgive me for my negligence."

"Master Zhao, I hope you can understand that it is not my wish to marry into the Huqiu clan. The Zhennan Palace guards the Zhennan Pass and serves the Great Zhou. How can we marry into the demon clan? However, this is the decision made by my father, and I cannot go against it." Lan Hui said.

Zhao Fuyun smiled and said, "Brother Lan, why are you explaining this to me? This should be explained to the Zhou royal family."

Lan Hui smiled bitterly and said, "How can this be explained clearly?"

"Some things, once you've done them, there's no need to explain them," Zhao Fuyun said, "because people only see what you did, not what you said."

"Yes." Lan Hui sighed, "But once something is done, there is no turning back."

"Since the prince wants to do this, there must be a reason for doing so." Zhao Fuyun said. He naturally wanted to know what the reason was.

He actually didn't know why he wanted to know all this. If he wanted to avert the impending bloodbath, that would be too ignorant of his own limitations. But in his heart, he didn't want to see a huge bloodshed in this area.

The battle between the monks was like a raging sea, and for ordinary people, it was a huge natural disaster.

Lan Hui raised his head and drank a glass of wine, saying: "The family's honor, personal dignity, inheritance, and power are all piled on a person, becoming a burden that cannot be removed. These have grown into a person, and removing any one of them is like cutting bones and drawing blood."

Zhao Fuyun understood and did not ask any more questions. He then started chatting with Zhu Ke about the Red Flame God.

The sacrificial methods in different places are different, and the symbolic runes of various sects related to the Red Flame God are also different.

So the various prayers are also different, and different prayers represent different doctrines.

Zhao Fuyun only knew the sacrificial methods of a branch of the Red Flame God in Tiandu Mountain, and he had no idea about other Red Flame God sects.

During this communication with Zhu Ke, I learned that there are many sects related to the Red Flame God in the world. Generally speaking, most of them are righteous, but there are also evil Red Flame sects, and these sects disguise themselves as orthodox religions.
