Chapter 42: Father and Son
Hurriedly returning to the palace, Feng Wuxian saw that the four eunuchs had already scattered and waited outside the gate of Fenghua Palace, although they looked like they were doing their own duties and being mediocre, but Feng Wuxian had seen their terrible strength with his own eyes, and he was a little grateful to his father in his heart. Looking up at the sky, he realized that he had come back too late today, but when he remembered Ruoxin's shy expression, his heart fluttered again. Three steps and two steps rushed into his dormitory, but he saw that Hongru was already waiting there with an anxious face, holding a set of the most ordinary eunuch clothes in the palace.
"Your Highness, change it quickly, it's going to be too late!" Hongru caught a glimpse of the subtle expression on Feng Wuji's face, and didn't ask much knowingly, skillfully changing his clothes for him. Ming Fang Zhenren's separate teaching coupled with the permission to read the folds, Feng Wuxian vaguely revealed to her, Hongru naturally knew that the matter was serious, except for his father-in-law Chen Lingcheng, no one knew about it.
Changing into the clothes of a eunuch, Feng Wuxian looked no different from an ordinary little eunuch at this time, and walked out of the palace gate with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and the four eunuchs immediately followed, and turned into a small road that few people passed.
When he arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, there was still a cup of tea before he left, and Feng Wuxian exhaled a long breath, and finally caught up. Although Ming Fang Zhenren was not old-fashioned, somehow, as soon as he saw his deep gaze, Feng Wuxian felt a palpitation.
Nine refining Yin and Yang Gang is still a necessary homework every day, but after nearly a month of operation, Feng Wuxian has not experienced any other functions except for feeling a trace of warmth in his heart. But every time he asked, Ming Fang Zhenren always prevaricated lightly with the sentence "You will know later". However, in other aspects, Ming Fang's true person's insight made Feng Wuxian stunned. He doesn't know how many ancient books are buried in history in his heart, he knows everything about astrology and geography, and even the knowledge of his teacher Hai Congrui is dwarfed by that of Ming Fang Zhenren.
After practicing the Nine Refining Yin and Yang Gang for an hour, Feng Wuxian only felt that the originally dark field of vision gradually brightened, and this strange feeling was unprecedented before. You must know that in order to calm down Feng Wuji, who has been weak since he was a child, Ming Fang Zhenren not only extinguished the fire candles in the entire palace, but also blindfolded him with a black cloth, allowing him to experience that unique realm alone. Although he saw the vision, Feng Wuji's kung fu guarding his heart since he was a child was quite solid, so he successfully escaped the catastrophe.
According to legend, the ancestor of Luoying's lineage received a book of heaven from an immortal who recorded many stunts, and the nine refining Yin Yang Gang appeared on the front page. "Originating from the way of heaven, nourishing the earth's qi, the god of heaven cultivates the innate qi, although it goes against the sky, but those who are destined can also obtain the avenue." The sentences in these sentences in the general outline have been memorized several times, but they have not been allowed to enter, and at this time they feel suddenly enlightened.
A trace of warm and cool breath slowly penetrated his meridians, both moisturizing and inevitably tingling. It was this inconspicuous trickle that lifted the biggest crisis of Feng Wuxi, although that strange encounter made him sink completely, but the long-term illness still brought a great burden to this young man's body, Ming Fang Zhenren did not teach him other Taoist techniques, but painstakingly taught him the Nine Refining Yin Yang Gang, and it was precisely for this reason. However, even the old man who was profound, did not expect that in just over a month, Feng Wuxian had reached the point of "attracting the qi of heaven and earth into the body".
However, the inexperienced step to the sky immediately brought boundless suffering. When the trickle merges into the sea, the fragile meridians without a trace of the wind can no longer bear it, and every time the air flow circulates, the meridians tremble slightly, and there is a sharp pain. At first, Wind Without a Trace thought it was just his delusion, but when he finally realized the danger, he couldn't speak, and blood was oozing from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose silently.
Time passed silently, and the desperate Wind Without a Trace was watching himself step into death. Faintly, he seemed to feel his soul slowly drifting away from this body that did not belong to him in the first place. "Heaven is forgivable; and thou shalt not live. The devil sent him to think of this sentence. The previous scenes flashed in front of me like lightning, the delicate and lovely Hongru, Chen Lingcheng's scheming, Xiao Fangzi's cleverness, and those guards, even after being reborn in the palace, the shadow of the father and mother, whose image was becoming more and more blurred, seemed to be clear again.
Seemingly out of the palace where he practiced, Feng Wuxian noticed that a figure appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help but speculate self-deprecatingly. However, so what, except for Master Ming Fang Zhenren, he really couldn't think of any layman in the world who could save the soul that had left the body, and it seemed that he really couldn't escape this catastrophe. The figure turned slowly, and the expression of not being angry and arrogant was so familiar and unfamiliar. Father, it seems that you are about to lose a son, Feng Wuxian said silently in his heart.
"You already know the prophecy of Ming Fang Zhenren, in your opinion, can I fully trust him?" The Emperor asked suddenly.
Feng Wuxian only felt confused for a while, there was obviously only his father in the hall, who was that sentence said to whom?
The question was quickly answered, and in the corner of the dark hall, a voice that was so indifferent that there was no trace of emotion: "Your Majesty, I can't tell if this is true or false, but Concubine Yu has not liked this son for a long time, so there is no need to worry about the help of relatives, and he has just recovered from a serious illness, and has neither prestige nor strong support in the court, so he must be competent as a Zanxiang." Besides......"
"You just say it, don't have any scruples, there are only me and you here, and there is no suspicion of leakage. You have always been faithful, will I still not be able to trust you? ”
"Despicable fear! Loyalty to the emperor is a matter of duty, but it involves the royal family, and he dare not speak falsely. The black shadow paused for a moment, and then continued, "Since the Seventh Highness is easy for the emperor to control, then, as long as it is placed in the foreground, the emperor can have one more shield." Your Highnesses are not angry that someone will overshadow them, and they will secretly use all means to please Emperor Tubo. In this way, the emperor can calmly arrange and select the prince according to the temperament and wisdom of all people. If the Seven Princes also have different intentions, after all, their business days are still short, and only the emperor will make a decision immediately, and he will eliminate hidden dangers for the emperor. ”
"Hahahaha!" A burst of laughter from the emperor suddenly came from the main hall, "Good! I didn't mistake you! Twenty-two years have passed, and since I ascended the throne at the age of seventeen, I have only the country and the society in my heart. What are a few disobedient sons, and I still need to worry about having no successor? I once gave you the duty of monitoring the officials, and now, I also entrust you with the task of monitoring the princes, and I hope you will not live up to my hopes! ”
It's just that everything he hears has completely subverted Feng Wuji's understanding of the court, although he has warned himself countless times that his heavenly family has no flesh and bones, but his father, who has always shown a loving fatherly attitude from time to time, is vigorously cultivating himself at the same time, with the idea of eradicating himself once there is a slight change. gave up family affection and chose a rich and noble self, maybe this is the price. But even so, why did I give what was once most precious and get nothing? A strong resentment and anger suddenly filled his ethereal soul at this time, and although he could already hear the seductive music coming from heaven or earth, he still rushed back towards his own body.
It was still the same boundless pain, however, at this time, Feng Wuji didn't seem to care about these at all, still repeating the same cycle over and over again, although he didn't know what this would do, but instead of not putting up any resistance, it was better to take a risk.
Ming Fang Zhenren stood silently outside the door, how could he, who was proficient in mathematics, not know that the young man was experiencing a life and death test inside, but he couldn't interfere, and he didn't want to interfere. If a person who tries to go against the sky, if he can't understand life and death and abandon everything, then what is the difference between him and ordinary people? There is only one supreme position, and if he is still the boy who is submissive to his majestic father, he should really leave.
