Volume 2 The Soul of the Ten Gods Chapter 109: Huozhuo Youtan, The Battle of the Demon Blossom Full Moon
The two raised the wine jar and touched it gracefully. White pear blossoms passed through them, and time seemed to have returned to the past.
Early the next morning, Buya prepared carriages and horses for them, and Laoshou led a team of gate guards to guard the left and right.
The two of them smiled at each other and exchanged a few simple greetings. Fu Heng on the other side was dumbfounded, and Ye Zhenfeng was calm. This Lao Shou had a hot temper. He had beaten him badly during the competition, but now he actually
Can you be so calm?
In the past, Laoshou and Ye Zhenfeng were enemies. Firstly, they were young and energetic, and secondly, they couldn't stand that he was better than her.
Now that Ye Zhenfeng has been reduced to losing his martial arts, it is the most painful thing for a martial artist. Laoshou actually has the idea of the strong protecting the weak, so he laughs off the previous grudges.
Regarding Han Ziyue, Fu Heng had already reminded Lao Shou before, so he pretended not to know Han Ziyue all the way. After all, the matter of stealing the God-Slaying Slash had nothing to do with the Hengwu Kingdom.
Sleeping in the wind at night, Fu Heng, riding in a carriage together at the end of the road. Cold purple moon, Naruo Tian, and Jiang Xun riding in a carriage together.
Along the way, Ye Zhenfeng chatted with Fu Heng: "So you were assassinated in Yingshang Pavilion, and it was probably the work of another prince?"
Fu Heng nodded and said: "Actually, I'm not sure who is behind the scenes? As a prince, everyone is working hard to fight for the throne. On the surface, everyone is peaceful, but secretly they are fighting to the death. The eldest prince just stepped down from the position of prince, and now
I am far away from the imperial capital, which is indeed the best opportunity to assassinate me!"
Bu Ya said on the side: "His Highness has been keeping a low profile for so many years, avoiding his sharpness. Many times he has given in repeatedly, but he will inevitably be targeted by other princes. After all, one less prince means one less competitor."
Ye Zhenfeng nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "No wonder you have to bring the Menting Guards with you to Xuankong Island this time. Are you worried that those killers will come again to assassinate you?"
Fu Heng frowned slightly and said: "This is one of the reasons. Secondly, I am worried that if the master of Zhantian Cave does not agree to give us Huozhuo Youtan, he can take it by force."
Seeing Fu Heng's frank appearance, Ye Zhenfeng couldn't help but be astonished and thought to himself, Fu Heng is worthy of being of royal blood. He always behaves simply and roughly, always thinking of using force to solve problems.
Bu Ya, who was silent on the side, said: "Your Highness, there is actually something Bu Ya doesn't understand."
"What's the matter?" Fu Heng looked at him.
"I always feel that the strength of the people sent to assassinate us last night is very different. It seems that the intention is not to assassinate His Highness, but to create chaos."
Fu Heng frowned deeply, stretched out his hand to stroke his chin, blinked his beautiful eyes, showing a look that was so good-looking that one was distracted, and pouted as he thought seriously.
"I also feel that if my royal brothers take action, they should not do it so hastily. Now that I am in Qulin County, if they really want to kill me, they should send more powerful killers...
…”
Ye Zhenfeng thought for a while and then said:
"From this point of view, this matter seems to be beneficial to you. Now you princes are vying for the position of crown prince, and you were ordered to go to the border to investigate the murder case, away from the whirlpool of power."
"It happens that you are attacked here. It is obvious that a prince wants to harm you. In this case, the emperor will definitely shift the blame to other princes."
Bu Ya continued: "What Mr. Ye said is true. No matter who it is, murdering the prince is a capital crime. Even the other princes are the same. In this way, it will actually help you, Your Highness."
Ye Zhenfeng nodded and said: "But who is doing this? I think the real purpose of the person who does this seems not to kill you, but to help you secretly."
"Who is it?" Bu Ya was also puzzled.
Fu Heng's eyebrows were condensed, and he asked from the side: "Is it that arrogant guy Su Feng?"
"Prince Regent?!" Bu Ya looked at Fu Heng in confusion.
Ye Zhenfeng said: "In this way, it seems that the regent is secretly helping you, Fu Heng."
"Tsk, this bastard controls most of the real power of Hengwu Kingdom. If he doesn't bring chaos to Hengwu Kingdom, it's considered good. Will he be kind enough to help me?"
Buya said: "Your Highness, you can't say that. Do you remember that the person who proposed that you go to Qianlin County to investigate the murder case was the regent. I think several princes in the imperial capital are already at odds with each other."
Ye Zhenfeng held his arms in his arms and said in a deep voice: "In this way, Qianlin County and his party are killing three birds with one stone!"
Fu Heng was puzzled and turned to look at him and asked, "Zhenfeng, why do you say that?"
"First, it keeps you away from the disputes over the throne. Second, you were assassinated, which increased the emperor's resentment towards the other princes. Third, you successfully solved the case of the human-skinned paper kite, which is another great achievement."
Fu Heng nodded slowly and said, "You made a good analysis. You really killed three birds with one stone!"
Ye Zhenfeng said: "As the saying goes, misfortune depends on blessings. No matter who is behind this matter or what his purpose is, as long as it is handled well, it will actually be beneficial to you!"
"Hahaha! Zhenfeng, you are right." Fu Heng nodded and smiled. Su Feng's arrogant face could not help but appear in his mind. Could it be that this guy was really helping him secretly?
The three of them discussed for a while, and then they all took a rest. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Fu Heng was drowsy when he suddenly heard Lao Shou outside the carriage saying, "Your Highness, the Hanging Island has arrived."
Lifting the curtains of the car and looking outside, it turned out to be a suspended island.
Immediately afterwards, Na Ruotian's voice came from the carriage behind: "I'll go, it's really a hanging island!"
Jiang Xun on the side raised his head and said: "I just said that there is no sea near this vast Lin County. How could there be an island for no reason? I didn't expect that it was really a suspended island!"
Fu Heng and others had already walked down. He held his arms in his arms and said with a smile: "Xuankong Island is a land island suspended on the land, hence its name."
Ye Zhenfeng looked around and saw that the island suspended in the air was shaped into an inverted triangle. There were faintly visible vines hanging down from the bottom of the island, which looked very fantastic.
Fu Heng said: "Lao Shou, lead the gate guards and wait here. Let's go to the island first and take a look."
Laoshou nodded and said: "Yes - Your Highness."
Fu Heng and others activated their soul wings and flew onto the suspended island.
The Hanging Island is actually much bigger than it looks. There are also rocks and trees on the island. White birds rest here, surrounded by clouds and mist, making it look like a fairyland.
Immediately, everyone activated their soul wings and flew to the suspended island.
Jiang Xun stretched out his hand and pointed forward, shouting: "Look! There is a spiritual light coming from the front!"
Ye Zhenfeng took a closer look, and sure enough there was a piece of red light emanating from the cave. He asked, "Could that be the Zhantian Cave?"
Everyone headed towards the bright light, but unexpectedly, a blue barrier blocked everyone one by one. They had to fall down near the entrance of the cave. They saw a hut not far from the cave, which might be the master of Zhantian Cave.
's residence.
"Who broke into my Zhantian Cave without permission?"
Suddenly there was a roar in the sky, and a long-bearded old man in white and black robes floated down on a crane.
The crane was twice as big as the ordinary crane. When it flapped its white wings, it was like a Kunpeng soaring into the sky, breaking the wind and breaking the waves.
The old man looked about fifty or sixty years old, with gray hair and beard, thin cheeks, high cheekbones, and narrow eyebrows.
There is a black hole flute on the old man's waist, and a white dragon-shaped jade seal hanging on the hole flute. Under the jade seal is a string of white tassels, fluttering in the wind.
Ye Zhenfeng stepped forward and saluted: "Senior must be the master of Zhantian Cave!"
"So what?" Cave Master Zhantian looked at everyone warily.
Ye Zhenfeng felt that this person seemed to have a bad temper. He thought he was a reclusive person who rarely interacted with other people. He then said, "Junior Ye Zhenfeng, because my friend has an eye disease, I came here to ask for a Huozhuo Youtan."
"Hmph! This Huozhuo Youtan is the only one in the world. It blooms only once in sixty years. How can you just give it to me if you ask for it?"
Seeing that Cave Master Zhantian was not easy to talk at all, Fu Heng couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch his nose, and then sneered: "As expected, Cave Master Zhantian is still tough, Cave Master Zhantian, I don't know how much face you give to the fifth prince of Hengwu Kingdom.
Not giving it?"
The master of Zhantian Cave was stunned for a moment and stared at Fu Heng. He was so frightened that he hurriedly jumped down from the crane, stepped forward and saluted, and said: "Your Highness the Fifth Prince - It's not that I don't want to give you face, but..."
As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. After all, this hanging island is still within the scope of the Hengwu Kingdom. He has to give face to the fifth prince no matter what.
Fu Heng was stunned at first. He didn't expect that the other party's immortal appearance could last so short.
Fu Heng smiled slightly and said: "Master Zhantian Cave, your little suspended island will be leveled by the guards at the gate as long as I give the prince's order. Now I'm just asking you for a Huozhuo Youtan."
, will you give it or not?”
Seeing that Fu Heng was so strong, the arrogance of Zhantian Cave Master was instantly gone. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness doesn't know something. This Fire Sun has not yet opened, and you have to wait for the full moon night before you can pick it. And when it is in full bloom,
, it only lasts for a moment, and will wither after a moment, so it must be picked at the moment the flower blooms, otherwise once it withers, the medicinal effect will be lost."
"Oh? So that's it, it's a full moon night?" A smile appeared on Fu Heng's lips, and then he said: "It just so happens that tonight is a full moon night. It's dark and dusk is approaching. In this case, we are here
What’s the harm in waiting all night?”
"This..." Cave Master Zhantian was still hesitating.
Fu Heng had already meditated on the spot quite rudely, and then said: "Don't worry, if I want your Huozhuo Youtan, I will naturally pay you a lot of money."
It seemed that it was difficult to send the fifth prince away. The master of Zhantian Cave felt resentful in his heart, but he could not say anything else and could only apologize with a bitter face.
Han Ziyue vaguely smelled a smell of blood coming from the cave. This smell of blood was also accompanied by a demonic aura, making her feel vaguely uneasy.
Since she became blind, she has deliberately started to train her sense of smell and hearing. Now her sense of smell and hearing are different from ordinary people, so she can perceive details that ordinary people cannot sense.
Ye Zhenfeng thought she was worried about Huozhuo Youtan, so he comforted her: "Miss Han, you don't have to worry, we will get Huozhuo Youtan soon."
