Chapter 70: A Real Dangerous Move
Martyrs......
Feng Yan thought for a while, "But I still don't understand, since the tunnel under Chang'an City has been completed, what's the point of moving the capital or not moving the capital?" β
"Of course it makes sense," Du mocked the wind said, "such a living sacrifice, every time it is performed, and then the next time it is performed, it will have to wait for at least one hundred and six years. So naturally they want to use their work in the most expensive places. β
"The most precious place...... Feng Yan reacted, "You mean the national capital?" β
"Hmm." Du Weifeng nodded, "Use the Spirit River to wash the central place of my Great Zhou...... I can't think of a scheme that excites them more than that. You see that since the capital was moved last year, Chang'an has been safe and sound, but Luoyang has begun to have frequent moths, and you know that this matter must be like this - after moving the capital, they quickly turned around and came to Luoyang.
"This time, they changed their methods, no longer digging tunnels stupidly like before, but using forbidden techniques like a thread to purposefully attack some people, which shows that they have learned the previous lesson."
It wasn't until this moment that Feng Yan really understood what Wei Xingzhen relied on to rise to prominence.
Others only said that he had come up with a gimmick of "Luo Du Wuying" and did what he liked, but he never thought that Wei Xingzhen was a chess piece in this matter - a dangerous chess piece that Sun Youwei used to fight against the martyrs.
It is also an excuse to block the mouths of hundreds of officials.
Feng Yan turned to Du Mock Feng again, "So all the years that the Heavenly Master left the Ping Demon Bureau, he has been looking for clues about the martyrs on Daizong Mountain?" β
Du Weifeng nodded, "Yes, whether it is Chang'an or Luoyang, if you want to gather enough wild spirits, it is impossible to bypass this area." β
"What's the catch?"
"Yes, that's why I came to discuss with Your Majesty tonight, and I need to borrow the power of your knowledge."
"Me?"
Feng Yan was a little surprised, those wild spirits scattered in the mountains over there were not monsters at all, and from the martyrs, it sounded like a sect composed of people - where would the monsters care if there was any sin in the world?
Willing to risk their lives on this kind of thing...... Probably only people.
"I should ...... Didn't help much. Feng Yan said softly.
"No, you can help." Du mocked the wind and said in a deep voice, "At least for now, there is no one who seems more suitable than you. β
Seeing that Du Weifeng said it so categorically, Feng Yan felt even more hesitant, "Tell me about it." β
Du Weifeng took out a woman's square handkerchief from his sleeve,
Feng Yan glanced at it, "...... is this?" β
"This is a handkerchief that the county monarch left in your mansion before, and the blood stains on it belong to your little sister Feng Wan."
Feng Yan frowned, stretched out her hand and took the square handkerchief. There was a faint blood mark on this handkerchief, and if you don't look closely, you can hardly see the trace.
"Jun Jun scratched Ling Mei under the pretext of fighting with her, which left this bloodstain." Du Weifeng said softly, "Just relying on this bloodstain, she found you with 'Ziguihe'."
"If I'm not mistaken, there should have been an illusion yesterday that separated you from the servants of the Wei Mansion - this is why the Wei Mansion didn't see you when they went to the backyard before, but she easily found you. Because my son is a crane, he is not very affected by illusion. β
"Ziguihe......" Feng Yan felt that this name was very familiar, and quickly remembered, "This Ziguihe, is Du Tianshi's unique skill?" β
She remembered that when she went to Daizong Mountain, she heard that there were often people in the mountains and forests who were lost, and their relatives could not find them for a long time.
All the person has to do is bite his finger and let the crane sniff its own blood, and it will fly to the person closest to the place and the closest to the smell.
The people on the mountain directly called it "Heavenly Master Crane", and only Du Weifeng insisted on calling its real name "Zigui".
Du mocked up and smiled, "It's not a unique skill, it's just some gadgets, and occasionally I fold a few to give away." β
Feng Yan held a handkerchief, "So, yesterday thanks to the Jun Jun who released the paper crane to find me?" β
"It doesn't work either. As long as you are still in the Wei Mansion, I will naturally find you when I come. Du Weifeng smiled and showed his big white teeth, "In the world, there is no one I can't find." β
As he spoke, he reached out and scratched his head, the brass hoop on his head bobbing up and down with his fingertips.
This action reminded Feng Yan of He Kui for a moment.
Feng Yan bowed down and said, "Heavenly Master is a great talent." β
"Having said that," Du Weifeng said suddenly, "I was still a little uncertain yesterday, so I didn't tell you, but this morning I went to Taohuawei to look at the remains of the Mingtang Tree Demon last time, and I was sure of one thing - the demonic aura in your mansion that seems to be absent, I have also encountered it on Daizong Mountain."
"I heard Wei Xingzhen say that the sandy land in your backyard was originally planted with some green plants transplanted from the mountains, and on the day of the summer solstice, the dryad near Mingtang was also one of them, I think that's the reason."
Feng Yan spoke, "...... What is the reason? β
Du mocked Feng's voice loudly, "There seems to be a reason for the demonic spirit." β
Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen were both shocked.
"Wild spirits are not monsters, and naturally they don't have demonic energy." Du Shifeng's voice turned softer again, "Although you both saw the Dryad Demon Yuan collapse with your own eyes, it stands to reason that it should no longer survive in the worldβbut it exists after all, no matter what form it takes. β
Du Weifeng stretched out two fingers, "If you think about it again, on the day of the summer solstice, the tree demon attacked the Ming Hall, and Nie Xiaojun's theft and arson after that were obviously a cooperation between the front and back feet, but the interesting thing is that after the tree demon destroyed the gate of the underground palace, it immediately ran towards you, and died directly in your hands." β
He looked at Feng Yan, "-It's not rigorous to say that, but in short, it died because of you." β
"So what?"
"Then its obsession after death locks the direction." "That way, when it comes back to lifeβdon't worry about how it came back to lifeβit will be easy to find you." β
"And sure enough, you were in distress at home yesterday." Du Weifeng's expression became a little subtle, "It can be seen that this monster really wants your life for some reason, Feng Yan." β
"I know." Feng Yan said softly, "When I was at home, I also said this to Lord Wei, but the adults didn't believe it. β
"Huh?" Du mocked up and looked at Wei Xingzhen, "Why don't you believe it?" β
Wei Xingzhen didn't answer - Du Weifeng's "disbelief" was "I don't believe that this monster wants Feng Yan's life", and Wei Xingzhen's "disbelief" was because he didn't believe that this monster was due to his own reasons.
And neither he nor Feng Yan had any intention of saying the last dying words of the dryad at this moment.
Du Weifeng couldn't wait for an answer, and said to Feng Yan, "They tried their best to get rid of you, have you thought about whyβyou may be the biggest threat to them." β
