Chapter 144: The Cao Gang's Decision

Fang Mei listed the problems one by one, the court, the rivers and lakes, the gains and losses, it was clear, Fang Jie was stunned, and looked at her as if he didn't know.

Not only Fang Jie was stunned, Daoist Zongxing and Puji Zhenren were also stunned, they had also seen Fang Mei's family, especially Daoist Zongxing, who had seen Fang Mei's many times before, and had also drunk tea in this teahouse, the previous Fang Mei's gave him the impression that he was beautiful and elegant, and had no quarrel with the world, but today, in front of him was a Fang Mei's who knew how to advance and retreat, knew how to lose, and was calm, and that bearing was like Fang Zhen's reincarnation.

"Madame is right, the young helper, at this time to the north, whether it is the court or ourselves, we are not prepared, the young helper, the strategy of the Fang gang leader to go west is to consider various factors. Yan Qi eagerly agreed, he had always been opposed to the Cao Gang going north, and for this reason, he was given a cold reception by Fang Jie, if it weren't for Fang Zhen's kindness, he would probably have gone away.

Fang Jie's thoughts finally returned to his mind, and he began to think about it carefully, Fang Mei's mention of the thoughts in the palace gave him some ideas.

After returning from the Immortal Sect, Fang Jie has been by Fang Zhen's side for several years, over the years, he has also participated in many major decisions in the gang, and has some understanding of the relationship between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court, but he always feels that the rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes, and the imperial court is the imperial court, why should the people of the rivers and lakes be involved in the imperial court, but I didn't expect that the rivers and lakes and the imperial court are so deeply implicated, and at the same time, they are secretly frightened, if according to Fang Mei's conjecture, the future of the Cao Gang is very bad.

After Fang Meishi finished speaking, he looked at Fang Jie quietly, and at this time, Pu Ji Zhenren spoke: "Senior nephew Fang, during this time, you don't want to be alone. ”

Daoist Zongxing was slightly stunned, and looked at Puji Zhenren in confusion: "What does this mean by the real person? Could it be that Liu Han will still attack the young gang leader?"

Fang Mei's was slightly stunned, his brows furrowed, Pu Ji Zhenren shook his head and didn't speak, Yan Qi noticed the slight change in Fang Mei's expression, so he asked, "Madame has seen Liu Han before?"

Everyone was stunned, they all looked at Fang Mei's, Fang Mei's nodded hesitantly, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, Fang Mei's sighed softly: "Not long after the death of the late husband, Liu Han suddenly appeared in the teahouse, found me, and asked me to see the body of the late husband, and asked me to help, and I agreed." ”

Everyone's expressions were serious, but they were extremely surprised in their hearts, Liu Han was in the plum garden just now to restore the assassination scene with them, but he didn't expect that he had already investigated the cause of Fang Zhen's death, this person's mind is secret, and he is really cautious.

Fang Mei continued: "That night, Liu Han looked at the body of his late husband, and then immediately asked to see the bodies of several brothers who were killed at the same time as his first husband. ”

Everyone showed a look of shock, Fang Jie and Zongxing Daoist Pu Ji Zhenren exchanged glances, and after a while, Yan Qi hesitated and asked, "What else did he say?"

"Oh, by the way, he judged that there should be two people who made the shot, one was Xiao Lan, and the other was the person related to the Hidden Immortal Gate. Fang Meishi replied.

Yan Qi didn't know about the Hidden World Immortal Gate, he looked at Fang Jie and the others very curiously: "The Hidden World Immortal Gate, what kind of sect is this?"

No one answered, Fang Mei didn't know, Fang Jie just knew, Zong Xing Dao Leader and Pu Ji Zhenren adhered to the guidelines and couldn't answer.

"This is a secret in the world," Daoist Zongxing replied slowly: "Madam, Mr. Yan, in the future, these four words will be forgotten from your mind, and you must not export them easily, otherwise it will be harmful and useless." ”

Yan Qi's expression changed slightly, and his eyes stared at Daoist Zongxing deadly, but Daoist Zongxing didn't explain anything after saying this.

"In this way, the death of the Fang Gang Leader has nothing to do with Liu Han. Puji Zhenren said.

Fang Mei nodded solemnly, Fang Jie's brows furrowed: "If that person is really from the Hidden Immortal Sect, then Xiao Lan is afraid..."

Daoist Zongxing and Yan Qi nodded almost at the same time, it was clear that they both knew what he was going to say.

The people in the Hidden Immortal Sect, since they have done this, Xiao Lan's living mouth must be sealed.

"How could my father offend the people in the Hidden Immortal Sect?" Fang Jie asked again, although his question was for everyone, but his eyes were fixed on Yan Qi, although Fang Mei was Fang Zhen's wife, he was indifferent to the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and he rarely even heard about the internal affairs of the Cao Gang, and he tasted tea in the teahouse all day long, and played a song when he was happy, so Fang Jie concluded that she didn't know, and it was impossible for Fang Zhen to tell her such a dangerous thing.

Yan Qi shook his head bitterly, if it was the mysterious Hidden Immortal Gate, it would be more difficult to take revenge than ascending to the sky, he had participated in almost all of Fang Zhen's secrets, and he had never heard Fang Zhen talk about this Hidden Immortal Gate.

Fang Jie frowned deeply, and Fang Meishi sighed softly: "I don't know what the Hidden Immortal Sect is, but since it is a hidden world, it means that it is difficult for ordinary people to know and approach, and it is difficult for the first husband to offend them, and I am afraid that the first husband will offend people in the world, so that he will invite a disaster without reason." ”

Daoist Zongxing nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Fang Mei's judgment, while Puji Zhenren did not speak, his eyes were half-closed, and his expression did not fluctuate in the slightest, as if these things had nothing to do with him.

Fang Mei's words clearly implied that although the assassination of Fang Zhen was made by a person from the Hidden Immortal Sect, it must have been done by a secular person in collusion with the Hidden Immortal Sect.

But who is this man in this world?

Looking around, the enemies of the Cao Gang, now and in the past, there are countless ones, the most obvious is the Jiangnan Society and the Imperial Capital Fengyulou, but the alliance of the Fengyulou and the Hanhai Trading Company is fighting fiercely with the Jizhou Wang Xu family, and there is no reason to come to the Cao Gang again at this time;

If it weren't for these two, then it would be the previous enemy! The Cao Gang for a hundred years had countless enemies, and Fang Zhen had been in charge of the Cao Gang for decades, and there were countless enemies, so who could it be?

Everyone fell into silence, and after half a sound, Fang Meishi sighed, and said to Fang Jie: "Jie'er, although I really want to avenge your father, but this matter is urgent, the most important thing now is that you have to be stable, the most important thing for the Cao Gang now is not to look outward, but internally, I feel that it is best to brake with static now,"

Saying that, many Zongxing Dao Chang and Puji Zhenren said: "Dao Chief, real person, during this time, Xiao Jie will ask the two of you." ”

"Madame, don't worry, this is for the Cao Gang, and if the matter of the Fang Gang is not resolved, we will not leave the Cao Gang. Daoist Zongxing nodded heavily, and after finishing speaking, he sighed again: "I have already sent a message back to the mountain about the matter here, and I am afraid that the head of the sect will send someone soon." ”

"Poor Dao also sent a message back, and I believe that there will be a response soon. Pu Ji Zhenren also spoke, but after this sentence, he closed his mouth again and refused to speak again.

Fang Jie frowned slightly, very puzzled, suddenly saw Fang Mei's face pale, his brows furrowed, he suddenly understood, this matter is not trivial, it is not just his Cao Gang's business, Xiao Hanshan will not say it, the Immortal Sect has always ignored the affairs of the sect in the rivers and lakes, even if the sect people are attached to different families or gangs, even if the sect people kill each other because of family conflicts or gang conflicts, the sect will not care, therefore, the people of the Immortal Sect never ask the sect for help, but Puji Zhenren reported to the sect, obviously asking the sect for help, whyJust four words:

Hidden Immortal Gate!

Fang Jie felt the power of these four words for the first time.

When he was in the plum garden, he felt the power of these four words, but not so deeply, and now, he began to really realize the power of these four words.

Puji Zhenren broke the centuries-old taboo for these four words and asked the sect for help!

"In addition, the imperial court is estimated to send someone to come," Daoist Zongxing said slowly, Fang Jie was shocked again, looking at him very puzzled, Daoist Zongxing nodded at him slightly: "According to the tacit understanding between the mountain gate and the imperial court, once the hidden immortal gate appears in the world, the imperial court will inevitably intervene, and all sects in the world will cooperate with the imperial court unconditionally, obey the call of the imperial court, and help the master, this matter is no longer the matter of the Cao Gang family, Madam is right, the Cao Gang is now motionless and quiet." ”

Fang Jie was silent, several people were silent, the wind outside the window blew, bringing the chill of winter, Yan Qi couldn't help but shiver, raised his eyes to look at the deserted dock, a few porters wearing simple linen clothes around a fire, boring gossip, on the river, a few fishing boats lonely on the wide water.

"I have an idea," Fang Mei suddenly said, everyone looked at her, Fang Mei hesitated before continuing: "I'm thinking, since this Liu Han can see the Hidden World Immortal Gate move, it means that he knows this Hidden World Immortal Gate, and we can cooperate with him to find the clues of the Hidden World Immortal Gate."

In addition, I heard that he once fought with the Wang family in the imperial capital and broke the five elements array laid by the Wang family, I don't understand these, I heard that this five elements array is related to the Hidden World Immortal Gate, is this Wang family related to the Hidden World Immortal Gate?"

This was a bit unbelievable, and everyone was very surprised, especially the expressions of Daoist Zongxing and Puji Zhenren, who knew something about the Hidden Immortal Sect.

"Impossible!" Daoist Zongxing said categorically: "The imperial court, no, the iron law of the world, except for the imperial court, whether it is the vassal king or the family, those who collude with the hidden immortal sect will be killed!

Fang Meishi didn't speak, but her expression was obviously saying that she didn't believe it.

But Puji Zhenren nodded again and again, obviously not believing that the Wang family would do such a rebellious thing.

"Madame is right, that Liu Han is worth noting, at least, in this matter, we can join forces with him. Yan Qi said slowly.

Yan Qi felt that this proposal was a bit whimsical, but he didn't expect that everyone nodded, and Fang Jie hummed heavily.

"Liu Han is in Sanyou Salt, Mr. Yan bothered you to work hard, just said, tomorrow, no, two days later, I will invite him to Fang's Teahouse to drink tea, by the way, don't say that you are looking for Liu Han when you go, he is pseudonym Wu. ”

Yan Qi agreed, and immediately got up to Sanyou Salt, but he didn't expect the shopkeeper of the Salt to tell him that Liu Han didn't return to Sanyou Salt, he didn't know where he was, and he didn't know when he would come back.

Yan Qi was very puzzled, and returned to the gang to report to Fang Jie, but Daoist Zongxing shook his head: "This is natural, we are too anxious, he broke through in the plum garden, and naturally he will find a place to cultivate." ”

Indeed, after Liu Han left the plum garden that day, he sneaked back to the ghost to see sorrows, and practiced penance behind closed doors to consolidate the realm.

There was no time for cultivation, and by the time he came out of retreat, it was already three months later.

In these three months, his realm has completely stabilized, and the barrier between the dantian and the purple mansion has become thinner and thinner, after entering the ninth grade, the dantian has further expanded, and the change of true qi is also very obvious, from qi to liquid, just like colorless and pure water, gathered in the dantian.

This change surprised him very much, so he spent a month to observe the state of the true qi, after stepping into the nine grades, the absorption of the vitality became faster, but the growth of the true qi became very slow, before, the inhaled vitality in the body could be incorporated into the dantian after a circulation of thirty-six weeks, but now it actually takes one hundred and eight weeks to be incorporated into the dantian, and the amount is less than before, but it is more pure.

In addition to the dantian, the meridians have also been further expanded, if the meridians were a four-lane road before, now the meridians are already an eight-lane road, when the true qi flows in it, it begins to be very empty, after a month of adjustment, the true qi barely fills the meridians, and he fully adapts.

If it is just a stable realm, two months is enough, but Liu Han faintly felt that after stepping into the Nine Grades, the Purple Mansion also produced some inexplicable changes, he spent a month to observe the changes in the Purple Mansion, and slowly discovered that the speed of absorbing spiritual energy has increased, this increase is not obvious, in the past, in this spiritual land, eighteen weeks can produce a drop of the Five Elements True Yuan, now nine Sundays can produce a drop of the Five Elements True Yuan.

The growth rate of the dantian has slowed down, but the purple mansion has become faster, what is the reason for this?

Liu Han was puzzled, so he had to put it down, and then he picked up the newly acquired nameless exercise, this exercise was written by the predecessor of the Qingxu Sect, there was no name, this senior studied the relationship between the stars and the aura, and he quickly finished reading this booklet.

After reading it, he was very disappointed, strictly speaking, this booklet is not an exercise at all, but a theory, or the research experience of this senior, and there is still a distance from the mature exercises.

In the opening chapter, this senior talked about the origin of the aura, believing that the aura is born by heaven and earth, so how does heaven and earth give birth to this aura? Why does the aura dissipate? Why does the aura not dissipate before the aura dissipates?

In order to explain this reason, this senior traveled the world to find the reason, and finally he came to the conclusion that the reason for the dissipation of the aura was the war between the gods and demons thousands of years ago, which destroyed the balance of heaven and earth, so it led to the dissipation of the aura in the world.

To explain this, the senior pointed out that the snow on the top of the snow-capped mountains melted more than recorded, and that the Far North, a cold place, was now hotter and had shorter winters.

This makes Liu Han's scalp tingle, isn't this environmental destruction? Isn't it the destruction of the ozone layer?

Could it be that this senior is an environmentalist!
