Chapter 78: Surfaced
Qi Xuansu agreed to Shangguan Ya to send the pill to Qinniang through the "Five Ghosts Moving Technique", and then contacted Qinniang in person, asking her to be careful, and hinted that the Taiping money had been given to Shangguan Ya.
Qinniang naturally agreed, not for Qi Xuansu's sake, but for the sake of Taiping money, and promised to give Qi Xuansu a reply within three days at the latest.
Qi Xuansu had no choice but to wait for three days, and at the same time asked Shangguan Ya to try to stabilize the king's condition, at least not to die.
Shangguan Ya had expected this and had made preparations before coming. After giving the King of Dayu a pill produced by the Eight Tribes, the King still lay stiff in bed, but the blood in his body had begun to flow slowly. .
Shangguan Ya judged that it was basically impossible to restore the King of Dayu to his original state, but it was not difficult to barely maintain his life.
Qi Xuansu could no longer care about these things, and just asked people to be alive. Not to mention other things, if the Dayu Palace became what it is now, the King is also to blame.
Qi Xuansu had a hunch that as he continued to investigate, the black hand behind the scenes, whether it was Chen Shuhua or Wang Jiaohe, was speeding up.
Perhaps he guessed correctly that Chen Shuhua suddenly came to the palace in person because Chen Shuhua noticed something and had to speed up the progress, rather than to test his bottom. The so-called knife-watching may be just a cover-up or a misleading of him.
So Chen Shuhua gave him a pill at all costs, was it to stabilize him? Or to delay him.
The fake pill could not deceive him or stabilize him. Chen Shuhua took a huge risk and gave him a real pill, so that he would shift his attention to the pill and slowly investigate along the clues of the pill. Chen Shuhua took this opportunity to continue to speed up his pace. It is conceivable that he was plotting a big deal.
Qi Xuansu's only advantage now is that Chen Shuhua and others do not know the existence of the Eight Tribes, and may make a misjudgment.
Chen Shuhua believed that Qi Xuansu could not find out the composition of the elixir by himself, and he must use the means of Huashengtang, and it must be the main hall of Yujing. It would take a long time to find out the composition of the elixir. Shangguan Ya clearly admitted that she could not analyze the composition of the elixir without the help of instruments. From this point of view, Chen Shuhua's judgment was not wrong.
But Qi Xuansu had the Eight Tribes and Qi Niang by his side. Qi Niang was not inferior to Xu Dacheng, and was closer than Yujing, so this time was greatly shortened. If Chen Shuhua predicted that the time was seven days, Qi Xuansu only needed three days to find out the composition of the elixir, so the extra four days were Qi Xuansu's advantage.
Qi Xuansu felt more urgent when he thought of this. So he summoned Chen Jianqiu again.
He only assigned Chen Jianqiu one task, whether to use the identity of the princess or the special channels of the Purple Light Society, to find the hidden Sikong Guang within three days, and to see him alive or dead.
On the other hand, Chen Jianchou brought good news to Qi Xuansu.
He found a key clue by checking the confidential files of the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office.
Just a few years ago, the king personally issued a secret order to the Qingluan Guard, asking the Qingluan Guard to send people to secretly dig a large tomb outside the city. The location of this large tomb is exactly where Chen Jianchou found the Blood Robe Bodhisattva.
Chen Jianchou continued to investigate along this clue and found that the king had issued several orders one after another. One was to let the Qingluan Guard secretly escort a large number of craftsmen to the large tomb, the second was to find the corresponding Feng Shui treasure land around the large tomb, and the third was to execute the insiders of the matter and destroy all the files at the same time.
However, the specific executors kept the files for self-protection. No one would have thought that someone would forcibly take over the Qingluan Governor's Office a few years later, and let these files finally be exposed to the world.
Because Shenglong Mansion itself is located at the node of the South Dragon, the so-called Feng Shui treasure land actually corresponds to some small dragon qi branches. Chen Jianchou found that these Feng Shui treasures just happened to correspond to the tombs of the seven eunuchs.
After listening to Chen Jianchou's report, Qi Xuansu fell into a long silence.
In fact, at this point, many things have been very clear, and the previous doubts can be solved.
First of all, Qi Xuansu's biggest question is why the palace of Dayu Kingdom was infiltrated? Naturally, it was because of an insider.
This insider was not the Queen Mother Yang E, nor was it Fu Rui Princess Chen Jianqiu.
It was the Lord of Dayu himself.
The Lord of Dayu wanted to kill seven powerful eunuchs silently, which was easier than anyone else. He could not control the dragon energy, but he could decide where the dragon energy belonged.
These eunuchs were loyal to the Lord of Dayu, so when the Lord of Dayu decided to kill them, they had basically no power to fight back.
Obviously, the Lord of Dayu loved his daughter Chen Jianqiu very much on the surface, but he had been guarding against Chen Jianqiu. He pretended to believe in Buddhism on the surface, deceived the Taoist government, and also deceived Chen Jianqiu. In fact, the Bodhisattva he believed in was not that Bodhisattva, but the Blood-robed Bodhisattva. The Buddha he believed in was not that Buddha, but the White-robed Buddha. He was the incarnation of Wu Luo and Siming Zhenjun.
In order to resist the Taoist sect, the ancient immortals had cooperated with the Buddhist sect, so they also had corresponding Buddhist identities and images, which was not surprising.
In short, the Lord of Dayu planned the two ancient immortals to come to the world with the help of Nanlong.
The fact that Queen Mother Yang E became like this was also inseparable from the Lord of Dayu.
Chen Jianqiu said that Yang E's beliefs were very mixed, which meant that she was not pious, and changing her beliefs was just a common thing. With a little guidance, Yang E could start to believe in the ancient immortals.
Yang E's role is also very simple, just to cover up. If the matter is exposed, it is found that the dead eunuchs have been to Changning Palace, and Queen Mother Wang is a believer of ancient immortals, then it is easy to conclude that Yang E is the mastermind behind the scenes. In this way, no one will suspect the Lord of Dayu.
However, Chen Jianqiu still noticed the clues. She did not expect that the Lord of Dayu planned all this. She thought that Chen Shuhua did it secretly, so she contacted herself and made herself intervene. She sent Chen Jianchou to investigate through Xu Jiaorong, disrupting their arrangements, and eventually causing the two ancient immortals to confront Lan Da Zhenren in advance.
No.
Qi Xuansu overturned his own guess.
This link of Chen Jianqiu was also expected by the Lord of Dayu.
In other words, this did not disrupt their arrangements. Lan Da Zhenren confronted the two ancient immortals, which might not be in their plan, but after the incident, it was in their interests, and they were happy to go with the flow. Because Lan Da Zhenren and the two ancient immortals were both injured and unable to control the situation in Borneo in a short period of time, they could let go and do what they wanted during this period.
What really surprised them was that they quickly stabilized the situation in Borneo Daofu. Borneo Daofu did not become a situation of one party dominating as they expected, but became a situation where two factions restrained each other. So they wanted to kill themselves through the puppet Yang E, but still failed.
In this way, new questions inevitably arise.
Since the Lord of Dayu was the planner, why did he become a living dead?
The Lord of Dayu cut off the wings of those who were loyal to him, treated his biological mother as an abandoned child, and even did not let himself go. What was the meaning of his doing this?
What role did Chen Shuhua play in it? Is it a mantis catching a cicada and a yellow bird behind? Or is it a trap, the Lord of Dayu used Queen Mother Yang E as a cover, and Chen Shuhua used the Lord of Dayu as a cover?
Unfortunately, with all the evidence Qi Xuansu currently has, it is impossible to implicate Chen Shuhua. Now it seems that Chen Shuhua has only one suspicion, that is, suspected of murdering the Lord of Dayu. But this matter is exactly in conflict with the fact that the Lord of Dayu is the mastermind behind the scenes, but it indirectly clears Chen Shuhua, unless you insist that Chen Shuhua is killing to silence him.
Is it necessary to use that special elixir to silence someone? Even if the Taoist sect has carried out large-scale cultivation, the juice of Wenyu is not an ordinary thing. It is very precious and not available to just anyone.
With these alone, Qi Xuansu could not give Chen Shuhua a fatal blow, so he could only wait.
The next day, Chen Jianqiu also sent news. Although she did not catch Sikong Guang, she had found out Sikong Guang's identity through the special channels of Ziguang Society. His true identity is a believer of Zhimingjiao. After the sudden death of seven eunuchs, he entered the palace as a eunuch and served as a messenger for the Lord of Dayu. He was mainly responsible for supervising Qingluanwei and promoting the affairs of the gods.
This is not something Chen Jianqiu had concealed intentionally in the past. In order to get this news, three people died in the Purple Light Society, all of whom were hidden agents arranged by the Purple Light Society in the Zhiming Sect.
This is not surprising. Although the Zhiming Sect is a cult, cults also have human desires, and men cannot do without women. Many believers of the Lingshan Wu Cult originally believed in Wu Luo in order to satisfy their desires through evil magic, which gave the Purple Light Society an opportunity.
The intelligence advantage of the Purple Light Society came from this. So the Purple Light Society is an extremely special secret society. It is far from being extremely harmful, because the Purple Light Society will never make too much noise, will not perform blood sacrifices, and will not harvest souls, but the penetration of the Purple Light Society is extremely terrifying, even the upper echelons of the Taoist sect will be affected, which is one of the reasons why the Purple Light Society is listed as one of the three major secret societies.
From this point of view, Chen Jianqiu's status in the Purple Light Society is not low, and can even be regarded as one of the future senior executives who are being focused on training. Qi Xuansu is very curious about how Chen Jianqiu joined the Purple Light Society, but now is not the time to care about this.
Qi Xuansu had a feeling that a direct confrontation with Chen Shuhua would not be far away.
Now, he still had to wait for Qi Niang's reply to know what the pill actually did.
During this period, Qi Xuansu once again sent a spiritual officer to the palace to closely guard the King of Dayu, who was lying stiffly in bed, and almost regarded him as a prisoner.
At the same time, Qi Xuansu also held a secret meeting with Xu Jiaorong, Jiayin Lingguan, Dingchou Lingguan and others, and sent people to closely monitor the actions of Chen Shuhua and others to prevent any accidents.
