"Knock knock~"

In the deep darkness of the night, there was a knock on the door in the most remote corner of the medicine garden.

There was a candle flame in the room, flickering slightly.

Fu Ning put down the medicine book in his hand and slowly got up.

'Squeak~'

The wooden door has experienced wind and rain, and it is inevitable that it will be heavy.

As the moonlight entered the room, a figure slipped in.

Fu Ning didn't seem surprised, waiting for the door to close again.

The candles in the room flickered again, but there was an extra shadow on the wall.

"The subordinate palace is not for it, but I have seen the envoy."

Fu Ning's face changed from the humble and easy-going in the past, but instead showed the indifference of the superiors.

He turned around, walked to the table on his own, picked the wick with candle scissors, and left Gong Buwei with an unfathomable back.

"Get up."

Gong Buwei got up slowly, and then turned his palm, and there were already two more herbs in his palm.

"Venerable envoy, fortunately, I found two more herbs."

The flames flickered on and off under the plucking of the candle scissors.

On the wall, Fu Ning's shadow was also in a trance.

During this time, Gong Buwei would come to visit every once in a while, and each time he would bring a few herbs with him.

And the list of nine medicinal herbs that Fu Ning gave him at the beginning, now only 'Cold Spring Algae', 'Little Winter Vine' and 'Moon Shadow Grass' remain, and three have not been found.

Fu Ning turned his head to look, and sure enough, this time Gong Buwei was holding a pale yellow grass vine and a piece of moss in his hand.

It should be the last three of the 'small winter vine' and 'cold spring algae'.

In this way, only the spirit grass 'Moon Shadow Grass' of the nine medicinal herbs has not yet been dropped.

However, the twenty-four qi grass needed to open up the Jing Palace by himself was finally collected.

Senior Brother Gong...... Really timely rain also.

"Honorable forgiveness, the last 'Moon Shadow Grass', there is still no clue."

Gong Buwei sank his head in fear.

Unlike the Twenty-Four Qi Grass, the 'Moon Shadow Grass' is a real spirit plant, and it is said that it can cause wonders under the moonlight, so even if someone finds out, it will not leak it at will.

Back then, even the Lingcong Patriarch traveled all over the world and never found it.

Fu Ning himself didn't hold out much hope.

"Just let it be."

"How's Yamashita lately?"

Gong Buwei didn't hear this, and slowly raised his head: "As expected, the 'Blood Baby Grass' on the market seems to have suddenly disappeared, and there is not the slightest rumor. ”

"Mr. Hu has already sent people to Dachidi to look for him, and I believe it won't be long before there will be a response."

"Ahem, cough, cough~"

After the iconic cough, Fu Ning muttered: "The Qian family has the 'Four Seas Chamber of Commerce' behind them as an attachment, and they will naturally not let go of this opportunity. ”

"What does the envoy mean is that the Qian family also wants to refine the 'Ren Yuan Dan'?"

Fu Ning shook his head: "That's not necessarily. ”

"The Qian family is engaged in business, and most of them are interested in 'Langyu Tu'."

"As for the 'Blood Baby Grass', it's just to force us to surface."

"We lack the last taste of 'blood baby grass', and what they lack should be the last piece of 'Langyu map'."

Gong Bu was shocked when he heard this: "What the envoy said is the same as what Mr. Hu said. ”

Of course, it's the same.

Because what Fu Ning is saying now is what he said when he was in Plover Bay before......

"But recently, Mr. Hu has found some clues."

"Huh?"

"In addition to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce behind the Qian family, there seems to be a force hidden behind the Zheng family, which may ...... It may have something to do with the Demon Sect. ”

"Demon Sect?!"

When Fu Ning heard this, his pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart: Did even the Demon Sect move when he heard the wind?

There are 3,000 avenues in this world, and there are countless derivative wonders.

If there is heaven and earth, there will be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Where there are flowers, there are bones.

And the spectacle has derived various sect inheritances.

Different wonders lead to different inheritances.

Among them, those who take chance as the guide, according to the time, follow the location, seek harmony, observe the changes of heaven and earth, perform the wonders of the interior, and seek the unity of heaven and man, are the authentic Xuanmen.

In addition, those who take people's hearts as the guide, are not restricted by etiquette, are not afraid of karmic pollution, and perform external wonders with human power, and ask for 'I want and I seek', that is, the extraterritorial demon sect.

In other words: the Authentic Sect and the Demon Sect are actually two paths of cultivation.

Authenticity is from the exterior view, and then in the interior scene, taking the path of 'learning from nature'.

For example, Lingao Island, Tianya Sea Pavilion, Giant Whale Gate, etc., are all from the exterior to visualize the wonders, and then evolve the wonders in the interior, so they are all authentic Xuanmen.

The Demon Sect is performed from the outside, and then from the inside, taking the path of 'man conquers the sky'.

For example, it is recorded in the "Chronicles of a Thousand Islands" that there is an island in the South China Sea, in the name of 'skeleton', peeling human skin into grass, flesh and blood as mud, and white bones as trees, acting the wonder of 'eighteen layers of hell exposing bones', and then realizing the method of bone removal and killing in the interior scene.

Another example: north of the South China Sea, called "Big Red Land", there is a "female mother mountain", there are only women and no men in the mountain, grinding mirrors as a business, acting "Shuangluan opening the mirror autumn water" wonder, and then in the inner scene to understand the way of lover's desire.

Good and evil are inconclusive, only in the hearts of men.

Whether it is an authentic sect or a demon sect, in fact, they choose different directions of cultivation, and there is no absolute good or evil between them.

However, the people in the Demon Sect are often unscrupulous and cruel. After a long time, it will naturally make people feel intimidated.

Fu Ning frowned: It's going to be troublesome now.

"Where did the Demon Sect come from?"

When Gong Buwei heard the word 'Demon Sect', he couldn't help but tremble in his heart: "...... It may have something to do with the Zheng family. ”

"Zheng family?!"

In Fu Ning's mind, Zheng Xitu's face appeared.

The body is shriveled like a zombie, and the black sores on the face are like corpse spots.

At that time, he thought that this person looked weird, and now that he was mentioned again, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

"Him?"

It's really possible.

Now that I think about it, long before the appearance of 'Langyutu', Zheng Xitu had already set his sights on the Cheng family, and even made a marriage contract with the Cheng family to marry Yun Niang.

An old widower marrying a fatherless orphan seemed reasonable at the time.

But now that he thinks about it, he should have known something by then.

Could it be that the Zheng family is really a demon sect behind it?

Fu Ning sighed lightly in his heart: What kind of place is this Lingao Island, the four major families don't seem to be fuel-efficient lamps.

He subconsciously remembered the letter left by Lingcong Patriarch. The letter seems to have mentioned the origin of the four major families of Lingao Island.

Gong Buwei didn't notice the change in Fu Ning's expression, but continued: "Mr. Hu found traces of the Demon Sect in the right alley. ”

"However, since Zheng Xitu was injured by the head of the family, he has not been able to shrink back."

"So I'm not sure if it's related to the Zheng family."

"What Mr. Hu means is that it is best to find a way to lure out the forces behind him."

Hearing this, Fu Ning understood.

If you want to fish, you must use bait, and the bait for fishing Zheng Xitu is Yun Niang.

The beard hit Yun Niang again.

Fu Ning's face didn't move, but he replied lightly: "I know." ”
